Chapter 140: The Great Trend Has Gone

Zhu Xi's shouting was like a thunderclap, echoing in the hearts of the peasant soldiers.

For the poor people, money, land and life are the same, and the conditions thrown by Zhu Xi directly hit the softest place in the hearts of all peasant soldiers.

When they first heard Zhu Xi's shouting, they were also apprehensive.

But Fang Cai's practice of throwing money has made these peasant soldiers see Zhu Xi's sincerity.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of peasant soldiers were in a violent confusion, and the peasant soldiers in the front row recklessly turned around and rushed to the rear.

That's right, Zheng Jun will only drive us to death, what can he give us?

On the contrary, it was the Cang Army, which not only gave everyone money, but also promised so many benefits after the war.

Anyway, it may not be that Zheng Jun can win, so why not help Cangjun?

This thought was a reason to convince themselves, and many peasant soldiers, under the influence of those around them, turned their spearhead and attacked the Overseers behind.

At this moment, the overseers behind them were miserable, one moment they were still wantonly slaughtering those peasant soldiers who had stopped, and the next moment the situation was completely reversed.

Overseers, in total, are no more than thousand.

The peasant army, on the other hand, numbered tens of thousands.

The situation suddenly changed, and the Overseers had no time to defend and retreat, and immediately encountered the huge peasant army, and were killed and abandoned their armor, and retreated in horror, and called for help from the Eastern Battalion array in the rear.

In the rear, the commanders of the East Battalion were shocked and couldn't believe it.

What the hell is going on?

Xue Wu sat on the red jujube horse, frightened, he was a person who could see it more clearly, these nearly 30,000 peasant soldiers defected, and they turned back under the drive of some coins?

Damn it!

The cunning Cangjun actually used money to tempt those lowly peasant soldiers!

At this moment, Xue Wu was very annoyed, he had a good show mentality when he saw the coins scattered on the city tower before, but he didn't expect it to be the strategy of the Cang army!

As the commander of an army, he can't see such a superficial plan, what could be more unsuccessful than this?

"Pass the order! I, Zheng Junjun, can also give them money, as long as the head of the enemy general is captured, he will be rewarded with 100 acres of fertile land! ”

Xue Wu gritted his teeth, the fields were in the hands of the nobles, as the commander of the first army, he had no right to reward, but the battlefield situation was urgent, and he could only make a promise first, as for whether he could fulfill it after the war, that was another matter.

Several generals around him were also stunned, you must know that even if the regular elite army fights in peacetime, at most it is a reward and financial incentive, and the field is absolutely untouchable.

But as soon as he saw the indifferent expression on Xue Wu's face, he immediately understood what was going on.

As long as this battle can be won, it will not be easy to deal with these peasant soldiers after the war?

Immediately, the heralds and guards around him were dispatched together to shout in front of the battle to convey this order.

The peasant soldiers were fighting in full swing, and with the thrill of revenge, the battlefield was noisy, and there were not many people who could hear the shouting, and even if they heard it clearly, they automatically ignored it.

After all, in their hearts, they have long hated the generals of Zheng Guo who drove them to the battlefield, and in the strong atmosphere of rebellion, they can't wait to break these people into pieces, where will they listen to their nonsense, as for the silver money and fields, the Cang army can also give it to everyone, why should they take greater risks to attack the city?

People think and act in a way that goes with the flow, and when everyone around them is rebelling against the Overseers, no one thinks that they will turn around and attack the city.

Gu Fengnan, Yang Hong and other rebels looked at the city, and they also felt their blood boiling.

Is this the real war?

Such a huge enemy army would be used for its own use?

At the same time, the joy in their hearts is even greater, as long as anyone with a little vision can see that the victory of this war has been tilted towards the Cang army.

"Pass the order! Open the city gates, and together with the peasant army below, kill the Zheng army—" Zhu Xi ordered at the head of the city.

"Yes!"

The herald conveyed this order, and all the rebels in the city, including some of the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion, were all ready to go, and as soon as the city gate was opened, they lowered the drawbridge, followed the peasant army, and rushed out!

The smoke and dust are billowing and the morale is magnificent, and all the soldiers and soldiers are looking forward to this battle!

On the other hand, the soldiers of Zheng in the East Battalion were so frightened that they were restless.

The rebellion of the 30,000 peasant army has completely reversed the gap in strength, even if the number of elite soldiers in the East Battalion is larger, but under the reversal of troops, the gap formed is not large.

The Cang army and the peasant army who went out of the city to fight had a total of more than 40,000 people.

More than 40,000 people chased and killed 10,000 people, and the disparity in strength was enough to make people desperate.

"Fighting—"

Xue Wu pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed directly at the oncoming Cang army.

In an instant, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Eastern Battalion set up a phalanx and rushed to kill head-on.

For a time, the war drums shook the heavens and the earth, the sound of killing on the battlefield shook the sky, the blades were connected, the sound of fighting, and the screams filled the entire Huangtian City.

By the time the Xuanwu Legion and the soldiers of the Dongda Battalion really fought, the soldiers of the Dongda Battalion, who had been dragged out by the peasant soldiers and exhausted by the peasant soldiers, had their combat effectiveness plummeted, and when they met the Xuanwu Legion like a wolf and a tiger, they were defeated and retreated.

In the distance, Xue Wu, who was commanding the army, had a gloomy face, the combat effectiveness of the Xuanwu Legion was too strong, he had been in battle for a long time, and he had never encountered such a well-disciplined army that was orderly every push and enter, and the morale was always high, and no one was fishing in troubled waters at all.

Meritorious Lord, is it really such a powerful motivator?

As a general, Xue Wu has naturally heard of the meritorious lords of the Cangguo, it is said that the combat effectiveness of the Cang army has been greatly improved because of this, he has always been very disdainful, after all, the combat effectiveness of an army depends on many aspects, even if the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is strong, it can be made up by quantity, why use meritorious lords and money to motivate?

The price is too high, this is the stupidest thing to do!

But today, after he saw the soldiers of the Xuanwu Legion fighting on the battlefield, he was completely stunned.

In his field of vision, there was a soldier of the Xuanwu Legion wearing leather armor, raising the short blade in his hand, smiling and slashing down at the head of a soldier of the Eastern Battalion, his eyes full of ferocity and madness.

He's laughing!

Have you ever seen a soldier on the battlefield who kills the enemy like a madman, slaughtering the enemy like a chicken, and then laughing that cruelly?

It's a crazy army!

Xue Wu shuddered.

When he once again focused on the rest of the rebels, his eyes flashed with complexity.

Why did my Zheng Guo's son-in-law change as soon as he arrived in the hands of the Cang army, and even the combat effectiveness of the rebel army adapted from those peasant soldiers was greatly improved compared to before!

Is it all because of the meritorious lord?

Or is my Zheng army worthy of being hated so much?

"The tide is over!"

Looking at the soldiers of the Eastern Battalion who were killed and retreated, Xue Wu looked up to the sky and sighed, he was originally the party besieging the city, and he was invincible no matter what, as long as he captured the city and eliminated the army in the city, he could lead the army to support the Western Battalion, and the two sides attacked and wiped out the main force of the Cang army in one fell swoop.

And now, the East Battalion led by himself has lost a battle that is guaranteed to win without loss, but has made the West Battalion fall into the predicament of attacking left and right.

How sad!

Now, if Zheng Guo wants to win this war, the only possibility is that outside the Imperial City, the Western Camp can defeat the Blue Dragon and the Vermilion Bird Legion and successfully defend the Imperial City!
