Chapter 101: The Battle Situation
Zhang Shihua's words were extremely heroic. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
And Zhang Shihua's arrogance is naturally very much in line with Han Yan'er's appetite, so when Han Yan'er heard Zhang Shihua's words, he couldn't help but forget all the worries in his heart, slapped the table in front of him with his big hand, stood up, and said loudly to the generals in the tent: "Brother Zhang's words are reasonable. Damn, our soldiers can fight better than the Tartars, and there are more people under us than the Tartars, let's fucking coax the ball. ”
"Wait for you to hear it, today you will make every effort to build siege equipment, and wait until tomorrow, and then the army will attack the city."
When the generals heard Han Yan'er's order, they all clenched their fists and replied loudly: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
……
About two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Shihua and the others left Han Yan'er's Chinese army tent.
Maybe it's because Zhang Shihua pleaded with Han Erwu today and said something like that just now, so when Zhang Shihua led people out of the Chinese army's tent, many generals who didn't put Zhang Shihua, a new household, in their eyes also took the initiative to greet Zhang Shihua for the first time.
Especially Han Erwu, his attitude towards Zhang Shihua was even closer at once, and when he came out of the big tent, he not only thanked Zhang Shihua again and again, but also expressed his admiration for Zhang Shihua's bold words in the big tent.
And Zhang Shihua took the initiative to get close to the generals under Han Yan'er, so he naturally returned the salute with a smile on his face, without any smiling.
However, when Zhang Shihua smiled and saluted the many generals under Han Yan'er's command one by one, it is estimated that no one can guess the real intention of Zhang Shihua's words today.
To tell the truth, Zhang Shihua said such heroic words to Han Yan'er today, not to boost the morale of the Red Turban Army, or to attack Shenqiu City or anything, but to change the opinion of the Red Turban Army high-level about himself.
And why Zhang Shihua did this is actually related to Zhang Shihua's current status in the Red Turban Army.
Let's put it this way, Zhang Shihua is now the master of the White Lotus Hall and the Thousand Red Turban Households, and it seems that he is the core member of the Red Turban Army, but Zhang Shihua's real status in the Red Turban Army is actually very embarrassing. After all, the starting point of Zhang Shihua's rebellion was not the same as that of the Red Turban Army, so in some respects, Zhang Shihua paid more attention to his own interests than to the Red Turban Army in the face of danger.
And Liu Futong, as the coach of the Red Turban Army, is naturally very clear about Zhang Shihua's psychology.
So from Liu Futong's point of view, he can treat Zhang Shihua as a horse bone bought by his daughter, but this does not mean that he trusts Zhang Shihua, because for him, Zhang Shihua includes the Zhang family, and for the entire Red Turban Army, what is more important is a symbolic meaning.
And it is precisely because of the above circumstances that it has led to the fact that although Zhang Shihua is a thousand households in the Red Turban Army, Zhang Shihua is not appointed and reused by Liu Fu.
This situation is similar to Xu Ming, who is now staying by Zhang Shihua's side, who seems to be in a high position, but in fact it is more like an ornament, a person who is outside the core decision-making circle.
And Zhang Shihua is naturally very clear about this, so Zhang Shihua is naturally eager to change his current embarrassing position. After all, Zhang Shihua is now just a slightly more important chess piece for Liu Futong.
So how can I change my status, the only way is naturally to constantly prove my value to Liu Futong, and show loyalty to Liu Futong while proving my own value.
Think about it, if Zhang Shihua becomes a trustworthy subordinate like Luo Wensu in Liu Futong's eyes, then Zhang Shihua's status in the Red Turban Army will naturally rise, and when the time comes, Zhang Shihua will be able to really borrow the power of the Red Turban Army to benefit himself, and this is why Zhang Shihua has to perform so actively in the battle against Shenqiu City.
As for whether such a positive performance will cost you your own strength? Zhang Shihua is not worried about this problem at all.
If you think about it, you can know that Zhang Shihua is in front of Liu Futong, how can Liu Futong not compensate Zhang Shihua after Zhang Shihua suffers losses. After all, if his subordinates suffer losses because they do things for the boss, and the boss doesn't compensate, then only a fool will continue to work for the boss.
And this is also the reason why Han Yan'er fought so desperately.
Because Han Yan'er understands that as long as he can complete Liu Futong's order, then even if all his soldiers are killed, he doesn't have to worry, because as long as Liu Futong is not stupid, then Liu Futong will definitely compensate Han Yan'er more afterwards.
And this point is naturally universal for Zhang Shihua.
That's why Zhang Shihua wants to express himself so actively, without worrying about whether he will suffer huge losses.
So when Zhang Shihua and the others came back from the big tent, Zhang Shihua ordered all the soldiers under his command to actively build siege equipment.
And when the Red Turban Army was actively building siege equipment, Shenqiu City, not far from the Red Turban Camp, was also actively preparing for war.
On the wall of Shenqiu City, Mr. Li was holding the battlements on the edge of the city wall with both hands, and was concentrating on the red scarf camp in the distance.
Mr. Li's expression was very flat at this time, and there was no joy on his face after a small victory, not even joy, but in the depths of Mr. Li's eyes, there was still a touch of worry from time to time, especially when Mr. Li saw that the Red Turban Army was almost all dispatched to build siege equipment, the worry in the depths of his eyes was even stronger.
Because he knew that once the Red Turban Army outside the city was ready again, then the next attack of the Red Turban Army would definitely be several times more fierce than the tentative attack of the Red Turban Army today. Although it is true that the officers and soldiers defending the city have won a small victory today, this level of loss is only a few injuries to the Red Turban Army outside the city.
Even in some cases, the achievements of today's officers and men cannot be regarded as a victory at all.
Although it is true that the Red Turban Army lost more troops than the officers and soldiers defending the city, it should not be forgotten that the total strength of the Red Turban Army also far exceeded the officers and soldiers defending the city, and if you do not look at the number of people lost on both sides, but look at the proportion of battle losses on both sides, the proportion of battle losses of the officers and soldiers defending the city is even higher than the proportion of the Red Turban Army outside the city.
On the first day alone, the proportion of the officers and soldiers defending Shenqiu City was close to 10%.
Therefore, Mr. Li has no doubt that if it weren't for Nai Yan turning the tide with the strength of one person in the end, then Shenqiu City would definitely be difficult to support for a day under the attack of the Red Turban Army outside the city, so it is not surprising that Mr. Li was worried in the face of such a difficult and passive situation.
However, although Mr. Li is worried now, Mr. Li does not want to realize it to his subordinates.
When Mr. Li turned back to face his subordinates, Mr. Li not only put away the worry in his eyes, but even had an extremely confident smile on his face, and even when facing several hundred household officials behind him, Mr. Li said to them in a joking tone: "See, the red-headed thief is also a human being, and after being beaten by us, he didn't dare to come over and die today." ”
And the generals, who were still a little worried, couldn't help but feel a sense of confidence in their hearts when they heard Mr. Li say this.
In their minds, since Mr. Li was not worried at all about the red turban thieves who kept building siege equipment outside the city, he obviously had a way to deal with the red turban thieves, otherwise how could Mr. Li be like a nobody.
But maybe they guessed correctly, because Mr. Li did think of another method just now, but this method is very risky, and Mr. Li is a little undecided, but when Mr. Li saw the deep fear in the eyes of the generals behind him a moment ago, the last concern in Mr. Li's heart also dissipated.
"No, you must take the initiative to attack and control the initiative in this war, otherwise you will definitely lose with this group of brave generals." While laughing and quipping at the group of generals, Mr. Li thought so in his heart.
