It was Lu Can who spoke. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I've seen Yu Hou." didn't care about talking to An Niang, Wang Shen hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.

Lu Can helped him up: "Daosi, what's the use of being polite between you and me, just call me to be a child, get up quickly." If it weren't for you, this army would have dispersed cleanly, so what would I have to do to see Uncle Liu Ping? At this point, he looked grateful.

This Marquis Lu Yu has a clear water face on weekdays, and he speaks without expression, looking very majestic. But the performance just now really surprised Wang Shen, and after blocking Yijie to no avail, he actually cried bitterly, so where is the prestige? Thinking about it, no one in this army is afraid of him anymore.

I'm afraid this person has no experience in leading soldiers, right?

Wang Shen was curious in his heart and asked: "How long has Ziyu led this army, there is a sentence that you must also know, righteousness is not good, mercy is not in charge of the army, and when you encounter trouble, you should use thunder means to show the heart of the Bodhisattva." When the interruption continues, it is chaotic. ”

Lu Can couldn't hear what Wang Shen was saying, with a trace of shame on his face, he sighed: "I was born in Haizhou, and Uncle Liu Ping knew my name a few years ago, and he revised a letter to ask me to serve the country, and I was the Marquis of Yu, the rear army's baggage battalion. It has been more than half a year now, and I have not experienced a battle. Just now the army mutinied, and I was also flustered in my heart. I also know that once there is chaos in the army, it must be suppressed as soon as possible. But, but ...... However, the sergeants and soldiers of the Huaixi Army are all relatives of each other, and they all have their own backgrounds, and I am just an outsider, but I am regarded as an outsider by them. If it is really a military method, if it is known by General Li Qiong in the future, he will not be able to hang his face. ”

The predecessor of the Huaixi Army was the Northern Song Dynasty Western Army Yan Army, the Western Army has been in Shaanxi for many years, and the military power is controlled by the major generals, and outsiders can't get into it at all. At the beginning, the powerful people were as powerful as Tong Guan, and after arriving in Shaanxi, the orders of the pacification department could not get out of the Chinese army. Forced to be helpless, Tong Guan could only vigorously support Liu Guangshi's father Liu Yanqing, so that he could use all the means of division and disintegration, so that he had a usable army.

Lu Can is a scholar, a little Marquis Yu, and has no relationship with the Western Army, no wonder Yi Jie takes his words as a fart.

Wang Shen couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of this. As far as he knew, nepotism was very strong in the Huaixi army. In this way, military discipline is also unusually lax. Among the four generals of Zhongxing, Liu Guangshi has the most men and horses, the largest territory, but the weakest combat effectiveness. This is related to Liu Guangshi's cowardice and incompetence, but the biggest reason is that there are too many fetters.

On the contrary, Yue Fei's Yue family army was the most elite and capable of fighting because it did not have the origin of the gate, and it stood up after breaking it.

It turned out that Lu Can was worried about Li Qiong at that time, thinking too much, and doing something.

Unwilling to say this to him again, Wang Shen asked: "Brother Ziyu, tomorrow is a bloody battle, and I don't know how you are prepared?" ”

Lu Can was worried: "What else can I do, it's nothing more than sending soldiers to repair the treasury and set up a horse rejection." ”

Wang Shen looked down, but saw that the soldiers below were repairing the treasury in a mess, and someone was repairing the treasury, pulling out a row of wooden fences to block the official road passing through the entrance of the treasury.

Two oxen pulling carts have been slaughtered, and a pot is on a bonfire, and the pot is being buried. More people ran to and fro, screaming like headless flies.

The order of the troops was not too good, and Wang Shen couldn't help frowning.

Lu Can's face was ashamed, and he said in a low voice: "Daosi, I have never led troops, the current enemy, although I have the consciousness of martyrdom, but I am panicked in my heart, I don't know what to do?" ”

"Brother Ziyu, nothing will fight as soon as the mother's womb is born, and after two battles, you will know what is going on. In my opinion, the morale of the troops is not very good, and the most important thing now is to get everyone to lift their spirits. Also, this order is really chaotic, and many people don't know what to do. You have to find something to do for them, and only when they are busy will they not think cranky. ”

Lu Can's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Dao Si has led soldiers before...... Yes, yes, you are so skilled in arching and horses, you must be a tiger warrior who has fought in battle. My heart is so chaotic that I ask Daosi to teach me. Why don't you command the troops? ”

Wang Shen thought to himself: "What bird battle have I fought, and I will command, isn't that harmful?" No...... Even if I don't know how to fight, it's a little bit better than this confused husband, at least I won't die so quickly. ”

Also, in modern society, I and netizens have a verbal battle in the forum, talking on paper, and talking conclusively about how to lead an army alone after crossing over. Now that a force of nearly 200 people is in hand, why is it cowardly?

Lu Can is unreliable, rather than passively waiting for death, it is better to control his own destiny.

Thinking of this, my heart was a little moved.

My mind suddenly turned like a marquee, and in an instant, a thousand thoughts flashed through it.

In the history books, there is only a small amount of information about Li Yu's detour to Tianchang to raid the rear of the Huaixi Army, and the book does not say what the battle will be like in the end. However, one thing is certain, Tianchang County was held, and the Huaixi Army did not collapse. In other words, Liu Guangshi won this battle.

So, how did he win?

You must know that when Liu Changjiao and Li Yu fought against each other in Huaibei, they were defeated by others, if it weren't for the elite of the Western Army under Wang Yasha's command and the hard armor and crossbow, the commander of the regular army of Lao Liu Tangtang was afraid that he would have been a prisoner of Caokou.

Could it be that in the end, Wang De returned to Yangzhou and won?

Yes, definitely.

In fact, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the armor and equipment of the remnants of the Western Army were extremely sophisticated. On the contrary, the equipment of the rogues and rebels in various places was very poor. At the beginning, when Wang Shan, Li Cheng, Zhang Yong, Kong Yanzhou and other Hebei tycoons led the army to retreat across the Yellow River and join the Zongze Tokyo Left-behind Division, the troops were ragged and had hoes and wooden sticks in their hands. Seeing that their life was really difficult, Zong Ze opened an iron furnace to cast weapons to arm the Hebei Righteous Army, among which the iron shovel he supervised still has a physical object preserved in the world, which is collected in the Fujian Provincial Museum.

Wang Shan, Li Cheng and others were originally local tyrants who were rich and rivaled the country, and their troops were shabby like this. Li Yu was just a peasant from Jinan, and his troops were very poorly equipped. In addition, the peasant army in this group is special, does not understand the art of war, and is rushing forward in every battle. When the fight goes well, it can be devastated, and when it encounters setbacks, it will collapse for thousands of miles.

Wang Yasha is a fierce man in the Southern Song Dynasty who is as famous as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Wu Jie's brothers.

Armor, bows, and crossbows.

Yes, the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, without cavalry in the northern horse farm, relied on armor and bows and crossbows to carry the northern nomadic nation with infantry for a hundred years. If it weren't for the second emperor's fear of the enemy's cowardly and blind command, the battle of Jingkang would have been a different look.

Armor, bows, and crossbows, it seems that this battle really depends on these two.

The Pingyuan Town Treasury was originally the military supply of the Huaixi Army, and there were bows and crossbows and armor in it. In this way, this battle is easy to fight, at least it will last for a day and a night, and it will be no problem for Li Qiong's main force stationed in Tianchang to come to help.

As soon as he thought of this, it was a matter of life and death, and Wang Shen did not shirk it, nodding and saying: "Brother Ziyu, although Wang Shen is not from the army. But in the early years, when he was in the Hebei Bow and Arrow Society and the Township Army, he also fought more with the Khitans. Many people dare not say that one or two hundred people can still be moved. Thanks to the value of Yu Hou, he is willing to live and die with his son. ”

Lu Can was overjoyed, grabbed Wang Shen's hand, choked up, and said, "I know that I didn't see the wrong person, Daosi, please." What's next? ”

"It's still the same sentence, tell everyone the purpose of this battle, and find something for them to do." Wang Shen: "Ziyu, I want to ask, is there an armored bow and crossbow in the warehouse?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Can you have gold, silver, and copper coins?"

"No, but ...... There are still a thousand horses of sackcloth, but Dao Si wants to work in the army? ”

Wang Shen: "Take them all out, boost morale, and straighten out the soldiers and horses." He looked up into the distance.

Looking northwest, the fire soars into the sky, like a magnificent red glow.

"One day and one night, we just need to keep one day and one night."
