Chapter 30: Brainwashing
Because of the protection of the steel wire fence, the camp was guarded by more than 1,000 gunpowder soldiers, but the more than 1,000 people who stayed behind suffered heavy casualties, and half of them went to the medical camp. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There was no loss in the direction of the siege, but the city that had been captured before was now full of defenders, and the water dragon carts were all burned.
After the first round, the losses of the gunpowder army were more.
Now a new problem arises, if the army attacks the city, the enemy cavalry outside the city will definitely come to raid the camp, which is originally a disadvantage of the small number of people, but at the moment it is only magnified.
Even because of the appearance of this flexible enemy cavalry, the supply line has now stopped supplying, which is definitely the worst news, because the reason why the Gunpowder Army is so powerful is that eighty percent of it depends on supplies.
Yuan Yun, Zhang Liao, and Jia Xu are all in a bit of a dilemma now, if they lead the entire corps to approach the river bank, accidents are likely to occur during the move, and if they don't move, they will sit on the mountain and eat nothing, which is a dilemma.
"After all, our number is small, we can drive the enemy, but the siege is insufficient, this must be written in the norm in the future, the army is less than 20,000, try not to consider the siege."
After Jia Xu finished speaking, he began to stroke his beard and ponder again.
Zhang Liao also nodded and said: "It is because we overestimated the combat power of the Gunpowder Army, which is why we are in this predicament, but the enemy can't keep us, and the best thing is a draw." ”
Yuan Yun didn't have the decline of the two in front of him, but shook the folding fan in his hand and smiled slightly, and then said: "It's not time to withdraw the army, Li Shi and Li Li, who we sent back before, should also make a difference, why don't we push it again." ”
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled for a moment: "The old man forgot about this, what good ideas does the handsome have?" ”
Yuan Yun said: "Letting them go back is to create instability, no matter what kind of uneasiness, as long as the other party is in chaos, we will have an opportunity."
This time the enemy army of 10,000 people came to attack our camp, didn't they capture a lot of prisoners? It's better for us to let them go back, and then clearly inform these captives that it is for Li Li's sake, and if they change to a villain like Li Shi, they will definitely be cut down. ”
Jia Xu laughed and said: "Can't be released too early, isn't there a brainwashing ceremony in our new city, completely brainwash these people, it is estimated that it will be too late, but just let these captives pro-Li Li and stay away from Li Shi, we can still do it."
More than 600 captives, if they all lean towards Li Li intentionally or unintentionally after going back, I am afraid that not only Li Shi's soft egg is worried, even if it is his son Li Yu, he will definitely be restless, the old man knows him too well, and if there is a threat to him, he must be removed as soon as possible, this person has no morality to talk about at all. ”
Yuan Yun nodded and continued: "The momentum of six hundred people is still a little worse, we should set up more tripping horses around the camp, and General Zhang Liao will pretend to attack the city and lead the enemy to attack on horseback, so that when we catch a thousand more people and send them back, these people will immediately become a force to be reckoned with, and I don't believe they can't make trouble in the city." ”
Good!
Zhang Liao and Jia Xu nodded at the same time.
As soon as he said and did, Jia Xu began to assign people to isolate the six hundred captives, and then dug a large number of cellars, which were built impermeable, without the slightest light, and the bottom was filled with water, and the height could only be half squatting, and people could only sit in it, and they would be flooded immediately when they lay down.
When the captives were locked up, they were not tortured or tortured, but they were kept in this way, and they were only provided with food once a day.
In only two or three days, some people completely collapsed, even crying and shouting to be spared, saying that they were willing to do anything.
At this time, Jia Xu led the people out, and then asked them to sit opposite each other and confide in each other about their sins, which was generally arranged very comfortably, with food and drink, and even a comfortable sleep.
Then when the day's talk is over, they will be thrown into the water prison again, and after one or two times, these people will be demonic, almost their humanity will be lost, their empty eyes will be full of confusion, they will do whatever they are ordered, and they will not resist.
Yuan Yun looked at this brainwashing method, and couldn't help smacking his tongue again and again, he was in Xincheng before, but he just used a brainwashing method, but Jia Xu learned it all, and developed such a water prison, this is the way Vietnam treats American prisoners, I don't know how many iron-like American soldiers were planted on it back then.
And during this time, Zhang Liao's pretended siege also worked, and every time those enemy horsemen saw Zhang Liao leading the army to leave the camp, they would kill like crazy, and then suddenly found that Zhang Liao had killed a horse pistol, and after a few times, the enemy cavalry became cautious and no longer easily fooled.
However, after these few times, the goal was also achieved, and more than 1,300 people were captured, plus the previous few hundred, almost 2,000.
At this time, Yuan Yun saw the power of Jia Xu's mutant brainwashing technique, because the captives who had been brainwashed before would now throw the newly captured captives into the dungeon without hesitation, and be in charge of guarding them, these were their own comrades, and there was no hesitation at all in such a resolute attitude.
A month and a half passed, during which Diao Chan's big ship supply team ventured once and supplied some gunpowder bombs and grain and grass, for which Yuan Yun ordered that he could not take such a risk again, after all, the reserves of the gunpowder army's baggage battalion were still abundant, and there was no need to take such a risk.
The brainwashed captives finally satisfied Jia Xu, so early in the morning of the second day, the sword and shield men escorted them all to the city wall of Chang'an.
A group of sword and shield fighters arrived at the base of the city wall, only saying that these prisoners consumed too much military food, and they were originally going to kill them all, but their own commanders were kind-hearted, so they were all released.
After explaining this, the sword and shield men left the rows of bound prisoners, and then turned back to the camp, leaving the fate of these people to the generals who defended the city.
Yuan Yun was not worried that the enemy generals would not let these people into the city, if they dared to shoot these prisoners in front of the defenders of the city wall, then the day of rebellion by these defenders would not be far away.
When Li Ru stood on the top of the city tower and saw this scene, his face was full of worry, and he guessed that there must be some meticulous work among the prisoners sent back, so he ordered some people to go out of the city gate, and then began to check one by one.
To Li Ru's surprise, the captives sent back were all their own people, everyone knew each other, and there was no possibility of outsiders hiding at all.
In a moment, a teenage girl appeared beside Li Ru, and after seeing the scene under the city wall, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and she muttered after a long time: "There must be a ghost here, there is a Jia Xu in the enemy camp, this person is extremely smart, but unfortunately he can't be used by my father, this time he led the army to attack the city, he must be prepared, military division, we can't accept this batch of prisoners." ”
Li Ru sighed, looked at the girl beside him lovingly, and then shook his head and said: "Even if you know that there is fraud, the old man can only accept it, if you don't let this group of people return to the city, I'm afraid that the defenders on the city wall will immediately feel cold, and there will be no need to fight the battle in the future." ”
Speaking of this, Li Ru paused slightly, then patted the girl's head and said: "The old man has nothing to ask for now, after the lord Dong Zhuo goes, the old man is just stealing his life, the only thing that can't be let go is your female doll, if Chang'an City is broken, Li Yue will hurry up and run from the south city gate, remember not to follow your father by water." ”
Li Yue was stunned, and suddenly said loudly: "Why should the military advisor be so worried, it is not so simple for them to break the city, now Uncle Li Ying and General Hu Feng are leading tens of thousands of cavalry to contain outside the city, our city is very high, why are you afraid of this mere 10,000 horses?" ”
Li Ru smiled slightly, knowing that this was Li Yue comforting several guards around him, and he had communicated this question before, although the enemy army only had 10,000 horses, it was a stone that could not be gnawed off, and such an enemy army suppressed outside the city would inevitably make the defenders in the city hate the enemy, but it was definitely not a long-term solution.
Today's Li Daojun has been too seriously divided, since he took Chang'an City, Li Dao has no ability to govern, and he is even more pro-Yuan Xian to his subordinates.
Chang'an City has been able to support it to this day, and a large part of the reason is that Li Wei, the daughter named Li Yue, how many loyal and virtuous people have been saved by this female doll, and it is the existence of these loyal sages that resisted Ma Teng's attack last time.
And now, in the face of this outrageously powerful gunpowder army, Li Ru finally felt that Chang'an was hopeless, even if it was blocked this time, he would not be spared next time.
Ma Teng's retreat was not because of defeat, but in order to preserve strength, Li Wei's soldiers and horses had lost most of them because of the Tongguan being broken, and the gunpowder army fought in Chang'an City again, even if it was the last retreat, Ma Teng's Xiliang Iron Cavalry would inevitably arrive in an instant, which was a dead end.
Stretched out his hand and waved back, seeing that only Li Yue was left, Li Rucai said: "Whether it is victory or defeat this time, Chang'an City is not suitable for staying for a long time, Yue'er must leave with those loyal servants after this time, your father and brother have no need to save, if you still want to leave a stick of incense for the Li family, take away one of your incompetent brother's children, and then avoid others, with your wisdom and those loyal servants who are willing to die for you, you are not afraid to build a foundation in the future." ”
Li Yue bit her lip desperately when she heard this, and she couldn't speak for a long time, asking her to abandon her family and leave, she always felt that she couldn't do it, but what her teacher said was so solemn, it seems that Chang'an really can't stay, and if she doesn't leave, she may really have to die here.
"Teacher, aren't you coming with me?" Li Yue seemed to have made up his mind, but he was still reluctant to see the old man in front of him.
Li Ru smiled, then pointed to his nose and said, "Does Yue'er know what the old man is in front of the world?" Helping to abuse, cruel and despicable, these words are not exaggerated to use on the old man, who follows a person like the old man, who will inevitably be unlucky, so let the old man and this Chang'an City rot together, the old man is also tired, struggling for most of his life, and finally found that everything is nothing, and he really has no energy to continue tossing. ”
Seeing that the teacher was so persistent, Li Yue's tears immediately rolled up, and he said after a long time: "The apprentice knows, and when he repels the gunpowder army outside the city, he will choose the opportunity to leave Chang'an." ”
As soon as Li Yue finished speaking, he saw a guard coming over, and then hugged his fists and said: "Military advisor, the brothers in the city have all been tested, all of them are their own people, there is no outsider, and their names can be found in each military camp." ”
Li Ru nodded, and then ordered: "Open the city gate and let these people in, but don't be negligent, these people will be detained first, and not one of them can be let go." ”
The general nodded his head and in a few moments descended to the city gate, and soon the army of nearly two thousand captives began to enter the city.
And then after a while, Li Ru will painfully find that he really shouldn't let these people into the city.
