(Second update.) Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info）

Originally, the Hundred Battles Army and the 50,000 soldiers of the guards crossed the Huaishui to fight, and a large number of young and strong men were mobilized to transport grain and grass and support logistics.

Wei Dao said at this time: "Tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people are running for the war, and they consume a huge amount of money and food every day. ”

Li Congjing nodded, but there was no expression on his face, "The battle of Huaidi, following the method of the two rivers, every time the army fights a land, the officials will take over a place, and use the treasury to supply the front line for consumption, because the food is in the enemy." Feng Dao's officials had set off from Luoyang a few days ago and rushed to Huaishui. ”

Because the grain is in the enemy's possession, these four words look good, but the actual effect is just a drop in the bucket, because the grain and grass reserves in the prefectures and counties are limited, unless the newly acquired land is expropriated and expropriated, otherwise a large amount of money and grain consumed on the front line still has to be transported from the country. And to levy and extort in the newly acquired land is tantamount to cutting off your own feet.

Relatively speaking, because of the measures of feeding the enemy, the most suitable is the Ma army's conquest of the grassland. That's what Huo Qubing did back then, so he crisscrossed the grassland for thousands of miles, coming and going like the wind, and the soldiers were invincible, so that the people of the grassland trembled when they heard his name.

Wei Dao naturally knew this truth, he opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

Li Congjing knew what he wanted to say, but no matter how kind he was, he also knew the truth that once he would succeed, he would surely build on the sea of corpses and blood, looking at the north from afar, and said calmly: "The implementation of the new policy is not achieved overnight, and it is okay for the four towns and eight states to take a step slowly." He was silent, "Huaibei Prefecture, three more years of hardship, you can enjoy peace." ”

As soon as this last sentence came out, Li Congjing suddenly felt familiar, so he remembered that in later generations, in order to build the city first, a certain big man also said that the rural people would suffer for a few more years......

Back outside Shouzhou City, the army was still attacking the city, and the sound of fierce fighting was deafening, spreading for dozens of miles. The Hundred Battles Army has long been replaced, and now it is the Guards Pro-Army Department who is in charge of the siege task, and the one who presides over the war is Li Yanchao, the deputy general of the Guards Pro-Army, and the Hundred Battles Army was ordered by Li Congjing to rest and recuperate, so as to be ready for great use in the future.

In the big county in Shouzhou, there is a Shengtang County in the south, which has quite a lot of soldiers and horses, and Li Congjing has ordered Li Yanqing to lead a group of soldiers and horses to conquer - Li Yanqing (Fu Yanqing) is Li Yanchao's brother.

Since Li Cunshen (Fu Cunxian) and below, the Fu family has all been planted, and it has been quite a good story.

On the corner tower in the camp to watch the guards attack the city, although the offensive was fierce, Li Congjing was a little dissatisfied, after watching for a while, he simply went down the corner tower, climbed to the top of the boxcar, and ordered the armor to push to the front of the battle, and then erected a big banner to supervise the battle in front of the battle.

Seeing that King Qin came to the front of the battle, all the soldiers were awe-inspiring, this was not only motivation, but also pressure. As a guard pro-army, although they have not followed the King of Qin to fight, but the name of the King of Qin's strict management of the army, they have not only heard of it, as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, when the King of Qin inspected military affairs, he did not lack his authority, and now seeing the King of Qin coming to the front of the battle, how can the soldiers not be solemn?

Li Yanchao also rushed over and asked Li Congjing what instructions he had, and Li Congjing passed a military order in the boxcar: "Those who retreat without authorization will be killed!" If you don't go to the front, slash! Those who look left and right, slash! ”

Li Yanchao took the order and left, and after a while, this order spread throughout the army, and the offensive of the guards and pro-army was obviously excited.

Li Congjing looked at the battlefield with an expressionless face.

Qi Jiguang once said that an army should be judged by its soldiers, one-tenth of those who dare to fight are qualified, two-tenths who dare to fight can win, and five out of ten who dare to fight are invincible in the world.

Although the siege of the city is not weak, there are not too many people who really dare to sacrifice their lives and brave arrows and stones to move forward.

Cold weapon war, every time there is a fierce battle, why do generals charge into battle and take the lead? In addition to relying on his own courage to fight a bloody way, it is to take the lead in the posture of a soldier, so that more soldiers are willing to follow him to sacrifice their lives in battle.

"Meng Songbai!" Li Congjing suddenly shouted.

"Humble duty!" Meng Songbai clenched his fists in front of the car and waited for the military order with his head held high.

"Lone wants you to go to the battlefield in person, and only do one thing." Li Congjing called Meng Songbai to the front and gave him a detailed order.

Meng Songbai quickly understood and took the order.

He entered the formation, cruising from side to side, armed with a sharp arrow, which occasionally struck the snail of a sergeant.

At this moment, Gao Shensi appeared on the head of the city, and while supervising the battle, he soon discovered Li Congjing on the boxcar. Li Congjing's boxcar is tall and conspicuous enough, and it is difficult not to find out about high-level thoughts. found that Li Congjing was supervising the battle in front of the battle, and Gao Xiansi's eyes suddenly lit up. Immediately, he asked his guards to fetch a large bow.

Li Congjing looked up by chance, and saw that on the head of the city, Gao Shensi pulled out a huge carved bow, the string was like a full moon, and a sharp arrow was facing him.

Li Congjing's eyes narrowed slightly, and his body was as immobile as a mountain.

The sharp arrow that pierced through the air, only five steps away from the boxcar, fell powerlessly to the ground.

Gao Shensi's eyes froze, and the corners of Li Congjing's mouth were slightly hooked.

The two looked at each other from a distance across the fierce battlefield and confronted each other.

"Someone!" Li Congjing waved his hand, "Move the car forward five steps!" ”

"Your Highness!"

"Marshal!"

"Never!"

The guards were all shocked, and they wanted to persuade each other, just before the sharp arrow flew and landed in front of the boxcar, how could they not see it, the arrow was not strong enough, and it was five steps short of landing, but now Li Congjing wants to move the car forward five steps, isn't it to meet the sharp arrow with his body?

Gao Shensi is clearly a person of lightning shooting, if not, the sharp arrow would not shoot so far.

Li Congjing's eyes lit up and he looked at the guards on the left and right.

The guards knew the military law and did not dare to delay any longer, so they stubbornly pushed the boxcar forward five steps, just as the sharp arrow on the ground was pressed.

Li Congjing looked at Gao Xiansi at the head of Shouchun City, his eyes calm.

But its self-confidence is clear at a glance.

The provocation is even more provocative.

Gao Xiansi was annoyed and ashamed, he had already received the carved bow, and when he saw Li Congjing like this, he snatched the carved bow from the hands of his guards, and at the same time pulled out a sharp arrow, led the arrow, and faced Li Congjing again.

This time, there were more generals and soldiers on both sides who saw this scene.

Li Congjing's body did not move at all, he was not afraid of the abyss, and he was not panicked when he was close to the sea of fire.

is to know that even if this arrow can hit Li Congjing, judging from the results just now, it is only touchable, and there is no way to break the armor, and Gao Shensi has to fight for this breath. He took a deep breath, gathered momentum, and shot an arrow again!

The sharp arrow was condescending, and in an instant, it swept over the heads of the soldiers on both sides, went straight to Li Congjing's chest, and shot quickly.

Seeing that the sharp arrow was approaching Li Congjing in an instant, all those who witnessed this scene couldn't help but hold their breath.

The arrow fell again, falling to the ground four or five paces in front of the boxcar.

It's exactly the same as before!

The corners of Li Congjing's mouth turned up slightly again.

The armor soldier beside him cheered and cheered, and the crowd was excited.

Wu Jun on Shouchun City turned pale.

Gao Shensi threw the carved bow on the ground and shouted in a sad voice: "God doesn't bless me with Great Wu Evil? After three consecutive shouts, he looked at the city again, gritted his teeth and said excitedly: "If the sky really does not bless my Great Wu, this commander is willing to die under this city, in order not to lose his courtiership!" ”

He was the envoy of the Shenwu Army, so he called himself the commander.

This scene soon spread throughout the two armies, and the morale of the guards and pro-army was high, and the offensive suddenly soared, and the Wu army, after the morale of the Wu army was weakened, listened to the words of Gao Xian, and also fought with a sense of grief and indignation.

On this day, when the battle was completed, the Tang army had attacked the city.

There was nothing to say all night, and said that early the next morning, the guards and the army fought again, lined up outside the camp, when the city was about to be attacked, Li Congjing rode his horse to the front of the formation, Meng Songbai followed, inspected the side of the armor, Li Congjing waved his hand, signaling Meng Songbai to enter the battle.

Meng Songbai received the order, rode his horse to the middle of the battle, found yesterday's siege department, and then walked behind the soldiers, but if he saw an arrow mark on the hood, he was ordered to go out of the battle.

Before and after, more than 100 people were called out by Meng Songbai, and these people were cut into a row, and they didn't know why. When Meng Songbai came to restore his life, Li Congjing nodded, and then stepped forward and came to the more than 100 soldiers. Meng Songbai followed with the guards and lined up in formation.

Every word Li Congjing said next was spread throughout the army through the mouth of the guard.

Not only did it spread all over the guards and pro-army, but even the head of Shouchun City heard it.

Li Congjing looked at the more than 100 soldiers, "As an imperial soldier, the people are nourished by blood and sweat, and I hope that one day, when you set foot on the battlefield, you will be able to fight for the country, protect the monarch and the people, and return peace to the world and protect the peace of my society!" ”

The soldiers looked at Li Congjing, their faces puzzled, and they didn't understand what he meant.

Li Congjing continued: "Yesterday, the lonely king personally came to the front of the battle to supervise the battle, and ordered the military law to gallop into the battle. And you and more than 100 people, there are arrow marks on their pockets, don't you know how to wake up? ”

As soon as these words came out, they were all shocked.

Li Congjing's eyes were cold, "Raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while." Why don't you do your best when you go to war with the army? Since you don't know loyalty and don't want to serve your family and country, what's the use of the empire? Before the battle, Lone Zeng had strict military law, and you and others knowingly committed crimes, did you think that Lone was unreasonable? ! ”

"Where is the military lawyer!"

"Humble duty!"

"Slash!"

"Order!"

The more than 100 sergeants, seeing that the soldiers rushed up and pressed them to the ground, how could they not know that they were about to die in Huangquan, and shouted and begged for mercy, "I know my mistake, please let Your Highness wait for me to wait for an opportunity, so that I can change it!" ”

Some people even wept bitterly, saying that there are still old mothers, wives and children at home, and they only ask His Highness to be gracious and give him the opportunity to make up for his mistakes, and he will definitely fight bravely to kill the enemy, and he will not take the city and return to the army.

Li Congjing sat firmly on horseback, his face grim, oblivious to the cries for mercy of these sergeants.

Meng Songbai did not hesitate, drew his knife and raised it high, "Slash!" ”

The knife fell, the head rolled to the ground, and more than 100 headless corpses, the blood gushing from their necks was like a spring, and they fell crookedly.

The officers and men of the three armies were all shocked.

Li Congjing's gaze swept over the faces of the soldiers, "Those who have made meritorious contributions to the struggle will be rewarded; Fear the enemy and cowards, slash! Then he turned the horse's head and pointed to Shouchun City, "The soldiers listen to the order: Siege the city!" ”

so that the soldiers are more afraid of the military law than the enemy, and then the soldiers can fight to the death.

20,000 tigers and wolves, shouting and killing.

On Shouchun City, Gao Xunsi's face changed, "I have heard that Li Congjing can fight well and has strict military laws, but I never thought that his strict management of the army would be so strict!" ”
