Chapter 173: Crazy
The two Hami soldiers hurriedly got up, rubbed their sleepy eyes, looked down at the city, and sure enough, there were many dark shadows scurrying under the city, and then listened to the noisy sound of gongs and drums, and also thought that the enemy was coming, and immediately kicked their companions around them, and returned to their positions with weapons to prepare to meet the enemy.
Di Linaza naturally slept in the city tonight, and now that the situation is so tense, she naturally does not dare to break away from the army, otherwise if there is any sudden change in the army, she will not be able to deal with it in time. She was now in a mess of trouble, her mind was in turmoil, and before she could close her eyes, she heard a commotion under the city wall, at first, she also thought it was an enemy attack, but after a few glances at the city, she instantly understood that this was nothing more than an enemy attack.
Even so, she still didn't dare to take it lightly, because she knew that the enemy's attack at this time was more terrible than the real attack. The soldiers had been fighting for several days, and only had a little time to rest at night, and if the enemy had been making noise like this for a few nights, the defenders of the city would have been crushed without a fight.
Di Linaza ordered the generals to appease the highly nervous Hami soldiers, and then said to the generals with a calm face: "Don't be afraid, they are not attacking at night, they just want to harass us, everyone don't need to pay attention, except for the sentry, go back to sleep." ”
After her reminder, the soldiers of the Hami army also understood that if the enemy really wanted to attack at night, they would definitely not make such a big move in advance, but the problem is that your old man said to sleep, but how can people sleep? The gongs and drums under the city are noisy, and the voices of people are boiling, so they almost set up a stage, set off firecrackers and sing a big opera, if anyone can fall asleep in such an environment, it must be a master of Taoism.
Obviously, there was no such person in the Hami army, and all the soldiers were disturbed by the noise of the Uighur army under the city, and they could not sleep and beat, and some of them had poor concentration and had a hot temper, and they had begun to jump to their feet and scold their mothers.
"Fuck! These puppies are endless! I'm going down to fight with them! One of the ten captains of the Hami army jumped to his feet and scolded, then drew his arrow, and shot an arrow into the darkness in front of him, this arrow could not hit the target, unless the ten captain's luck was so good that it was bursting, he also knew that his arrow did not have much meaning, but there were countless sullen feelings in his heart that he wanted to vent in this way.
"What are you doing! The princess strictly ordered that arrows should not be wasted, do you want to lose your head? The superior of the ten-captain, the centurion of the Hami army, kicked him in the heel and scolded him with a slash on his face.
The ten-captain was also a fiery temper, and he couldn't do such a thing if he wasn't hot-tempered, so he immediately jumped up from the ground with his heel, regardless of the relationship between his superiors and subordinates, and shouted at his leader centurion: "After fighting for so long, you don't let people rest well, what the is going on?" Instead of being and annoyed by them like this, it is better to go down and fight happily, at least worthy of the title of warrior, and not be troubled to death by them! ”
The centurion of the Hami army slapped him in the face, and the men in the army communicated so directly, and when they could do it, they would never move their mouths, and scolded: "It's a shame that Lao Tzu usually looks at you like a man, but I didn't expect you kid to be so good!" You've survived the rain of bullets, and you can't bear this? What's wrong with you just treating them as if they were singing you a big show? It's not easy to want to die? You can fall to your death by jumping from here, but if every Hami warrior is as useless as you, who will defend the city? Who will protect the princess and the king behind her? You have suffered so much from the state, are you worthy of your conscience? ”
The ten-division commander of the Hami army was scolded by the commander without any temper at all, lowered his head, looked ashamed, and stopped talking, looking at him as if he had listened, I have to say that the officer who can do ideological work is really a treasure in the army, and at a critical moment, he can screw everyone's minds together and form a strong combat effectiveness.
However, there were many people in the Hami army who were as hot-tempered and impetuous as this ten-division commander, and when they heard the endless noise of the Uighur army, some soldiers were so angry that they could not stand it and cursed in anger, but a few words of scolding were not enough to vent the frustration in their hearts, and many soldiers took out arrows and shot at the black shadow where the Uighur army was located, and some people lifted a large stone and threw it down the city, relying on this way of thinking that it was very relieving. to vent the monstrous smoldering fire in your heart.
Of course, the result of this is that the Uighurs should come up with nothing but wasting valuable strategic resources and thinking that they will not have any effect, and that they will be digging their own graves, and when the arrows and rolling stones and logs are gone, the Uighurs will probably come up. This is also one of the purposes of Bor Huhe and Blau.
Seeing this scene, Di Linaza was very anxious, and her pretty and peerless cheeks were hung with ice that seemed to have been formed ten thousand years ago, and she ordered more than once: "Don't throw arrows indiscriminately, don't throw stones indiscriminately, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law!" ”
However, the effect of her order was not very great, and the feeling of being provoked by people in the city while making noise was unbearable for ordinary people, otherwise there would not be so many brave men who would go out of the city to challenge and be killed because of such a thing.
During the Korean War, because the artillery fire of the US army was too powerful, the volunteers were hiding in the pits to avoid the artillery at the beginning, but the feeling of the huge cannon explosion overhead was too uncomfortable, and the sound of the vibration alone was about to shake people's hearts and lungs out, so many volunteers who really couldn't stand it rushed out to fight the US army directly, and would rather be killed by the US artillery fire than endure that feeling anymore.
The situation of the Hami army is similar to that of the volunteers of later generations, knowing that it is meaningless for them to throw arrows and stones in the dark, but they can't help but want to vent their frustrations, and despite Di Linazha's strict orders, they are still constantly wasting valuable strategic resources. In many cases, it is difficult for people to proceed from reason.
Di Linaza understands their feelings very well, to be honest, it is not easy for these people to help her hold on to it until now, her heart is still very grateful to these loyal people, and she will not really give the soldiers who have helped him to the present because of this incident to engage in military law, now at this time, what is more important than the heart of the army? As long as they don't betray Hami, Dilinaza won't do anything to them, after all, now is the time to employ people.
However, it is not a way to go on like this, and before the Uighurs can fight, their own people will collapse first, and how can the city be defended?
Di Lina locked her eyebrows tightly, thinking hard about countermeasures, and suddenly, she had a plan, although there were some adventures, but now it can only be like this, at this point, when is it not a risk?
The Uighur army, which was in the middle of the city of Turpan, suddenly noticed that there was a dark shadow faintly descending from the city of Turpan. One of the Uighur scouts immediately reported the incident to the commander who was directing the attack, and instead of immediately ordering the arrows to be released, he ordered one of the commanders beside him: "How many men do you send to see if it is a real person or a dummy who has been killed?" ”
The commander put his right hand on his chest, bowed deeply to the commander, and said in a calm voice: "Obey!" "Of course, he wouldn't go to such a dangerous thing himself, what if the enemy was tempting him? If you go, you will probably be shot into a hedgehog by random arrows. So he called one of his centurions, and asked him to lead dozens of men, with torches, to the edge of the city wall and see the enemy situation clearly.
The centurions of the Uighur army could not push down to life, so they could only lead dozens of brave Uighur warriors with torches and rockets close to the edge of the city wall, and then violently ignited the torches and rockets, and threw them at the top of the city, illuminating the black shadows on the side of the city wall.
However, at this time, the dozens of Uighur vanguard troops also revealed their position, attracting a volley of Hami archers from the city, throwing down a dozen corpses, and retreating in panic.
The Uighur centurion was also wounded, and he was bleeding from an arrow in his left arm, and he did not bother to bandage his wounds, so he first ran to the commander to restore his life, saying, "Lord Qiyu, they are all dummies. They were trying to lead us all down the city and shoot us. ”
Captain Wan snorted coldly, it seemed that he had guessed correctly, and said to his subordinates very proudly: "Lao Tzu, you guessed well, these Hami dog thieves are really cunning enough." ”
At this moment, there was suddenly no movement on the city wall of Turpan, and the straw dummies that were tied down by the Hami army were pulled up by them with ropes, and everything returned to calm.
The Uighur army under the city continued to do their work of raiding and harassing, and they were all happy to do it, beating gongs and beating drums, beating drums, shouting and shouting, and even some of them opened their throats and sang mountain songs, and they were very busy, anyway, there were many of them, and the general ordered that anyone who participated in the disturbance at night did not need to attack the city during the day, and could hide in the barracks and sleep, so many people rushed to come.
However, it didn't take long for another movement in the city of Turpan, and many dark shadows appeared in the city, and some sharp-eyed soldiers in the Uighur army immediately reported the situation to the commander. Although the last reconnaissance found that these people were dummies, and the purpose was to lure the Uighur soldiers to take the bait, the battle-hardened Uighur commander still did not dare to take it lightly, and said to the thousand households beside him: "Go and send someone to take a look." ”
Although he felt that his commander had been a little too careful, he did not dare to disobey his orders, so he immediately called another centurion and ordered him to take people to the city of Turpan to check on them.
The Hami army was silent again, and all the dummies tied to the city were taken back, and the city fell into silence again. Seeing this, the Uighurs began to beat gongs and drums again, continuing their clamour.
As a result, it didn't take long for the black shadow to appear at the head of the city of Turpan, and the commander of the Uighur army was still not at ease, so he sent people to investigate again, and the result was still the same as the previous two times. This was repeated three or four times, and the Uighur soldiers were thoroughly enraged by their actions as captains.
There is a so-called repeated two, not repeated and four, you are so repeatedly teased by the other party, even if you are shameless and don't care about your IQ being insulted, but Lao Tzu still cares about your life? Going to die a dozen people at a time may not be anything to you, the captain of ten thousand people, but life is precious to us, and there is only one for each person. Sacrifice is nothing, after all, there will always be casualties in war, but it is really infuriating to be played and sacrificed meaninglessly like this.
After a long time, a negative mood appeared among the soldiers of the Uighur army, and many of the grumpy ones began to complain, and the kings began to make up all kinds of strange things to satirize the captain.
"I've heard of people who are afraid of people and ghosts, but I've never heard of people who are so afraid of scarecrows."
"That's it, the Hami army has long been beaten by us and can't protect itself, how can you still have the courage to rush down, you can't figure out what kind of commander you want to do with such a simple thing?"
"What kind of soldier are you afraid of death? If we let others know that our captain is afraid of a scarecrow like this, then how will we continue to mix in the future, and what face will we have to meet people, the cool words of the group of people next door can't stand it. ”
"I really didn't expect that I didn't die on the battlefield, but in the end I was scared to death by someone's scarecrow, it's really fucking shameless."
All sorts of strange words came out one after another, and gradually reached the ears of the Uighur commanders, and to be honest, although these words were difficult to hear, he really could not use the power in his hands to find out the people who said these words, and to engage in military justice one by one. After all, the barracks are all bloody men, licking blood on the knife all day long, all have a hot temper, no one's words can be heard, for such a little thing to kill people and play prestige, then his prestige in the eyes of the soldiers will plummet, and even will be angry, don't expect these brothers to desperately kill the enemy for him in the future, maybe they will be shot by their subordinates, after all, they are all people who have experienced life and death, who does not have a few iron brothers, and there are many fathers, sons, and brothers in the military camp who join the army together, Will they forgive this captain who killed people in order to shake his prestige?
Hearing these strange words, Captain Wan felt very uncomfortable, his words were not rough, he may indeed be a little too careful, so he was used by the Hami army, teasing him again and again, the expression on his face twitched a few times, and then he ordered lukewarmly: "In the future, if there is any movement of the Hami army, don't pay attention to it, the soldiers in front only need to stand up to prevent the Hami army in the city from really coming down to attack." ”
