Chapter 250: Boosting Morale (2) (4th Update)

Li Guangshi's eyes blinked twice, and he thought to himself, if he can say that these cowardly Qu Marshal can now withdraw their troops and return to the mountain, he will definitely be able to make a great contribution and escape the punishment of the Sui army after the war, that general named Wang Huaqiang, looking at it, is shrewd, and he doesn't blink an eyelid when he kills people, the kind of genocidal purge that Ren Gui said just now, maybe this guy can really do it.

These days, as soon as Li Guangshi closes his eyes, he will think of the 3,000 heads arranged in a big pile like three small hills, full of flies, and that kind of horror will never be forgotten for a lifetime.

Li Guangshi gritted his teeth and said, "Ren Junshi, you said it easily, but if you really have this ability, why didn't you teach Zhou Qushuai that day?" Zhou Qushuai had 20,000 elite soldiers that day, you didn't teach it, and ran back directly, and now he said that there was a way to win on the battlefield, don't you think it's ridiculous? ”

A divine light suddenly flashed in Ren Gui's eyes, and he glanced at Li Guangshi fiercely, and the murderous intention flashed: "Li Qushuai, how did you know about the battlefield that day?" ”

Li Guangshi was a little weak-hearted, and his speech became a little stammering: "I, I saw you telling everyone here that you left Zhou Qushuai's army before the war, is this still fake?" ”

Ren Gui snorted coldly: "Yes, Ren Mou did see that the situation was wrong that day and left the battlefield, but Ren Mou was not greedy for life and afraid of death, let alone fleeing from the battle, the Sui army suddenly opened behind Zhou Shuai, and a strong east wind was blowing on the battlefield, and the Sui army armor was sharp." Very well equipped. Our army was under the fortified city. Faced by the enemy on the back and fighting against the wind, the rear plains had to face the enemy's strong bows and crossbows, and there was no chance of victory.

At that time, Ren tried to persuade Zhou Shuai to withdraw to the camp and rely on the favorable terrain to defend, but Zhou Shuai didn't listen to me, and insisted on fighting a decisive battle there, and Ren couldn't save him. I can only save myself first, come back to Wang Qushuai, and report to everyone the news that the main force of the Sui army is coming, is this wrong? ”

Gao Qianli relieved himself a little at this time, sneered twice, and said: "Ren Junshi, others have always said that you are a resourceful and resourceful, but you can't count the Sui army in front of you to suddenly appear, and you can't come up with an idea for Zhou Qushuai to break the enemy and win in the back." Now that he is swearing here that there is a way to break the thief, is it to make us happy? Not much else. I only want to ask you, how many people are in the main force of this Sui army, who is the general, and how are you going to break the enemy? ”

Ren Gui looked at Gao Qianli, his expression was calm, and he said slowly: "On that day, I saw the Sui army unfolding in front of Zhou Shuai, about 3,000 to 4,000 people, I don't know if there is a follow-up army, probably the front army." ”

Gao Qianli was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Ren Gui, are you playing with us?" Zhou Shi raised 20,000 troops, and he would be killed by 3,000 Sui troops? Tens of thousands of Sui troops in this Panyu city are surrounded by water, only the power to parry, and they don't dare to go out of the city to fight, so the three thousand Sui troops have this ability? I see that you are obviously escaping from the battle, and you don't see the reality of the enemy army at all, so you are talking nonsense here. ”

Ren Gui's eyes flashed, and he shook his head: "The reason why the defenders of Panyu City only defend and do not attack is because they do not adapt to the climate of Lingnan, they are not adaptable to the water and soil, and a large number of soldiers are reduced due to illness, and there are thousands of soldiers who can fight, after all, our army has more than 100,000 troops, of course they dare not fight with us."

The second is that the enemy's general was killed in the first battle, and his morale was damaged, and in this case, the defenders could not afford to lose, so they could only hold on and wait for reinforcements.

But the Sui army that fought with Zhou Shuai that day was not like this, they all looked red-faced, not a little sick, it seemed that they had become accustomed to and adapted to the climate of our Lingnan, and they were not afraid of miasma. If it is a heavily armed ironclad infantry, with a strong crossbow that can shoot up to 150 to 200 paces in front, a hard bow that can be continuously suspended at a distance of 60 to 80 paces, plus a spear lance like a forest and cavalry in the rear, how can our army, which is completely unprotected and all short weapons, fight against it? ”

Li Guangshi suddenly became energetic, and said in a loud voice: "Ren Junshi, what you said for the past half a day is talking about how strong the enemy army is, now whether they are the three or four thousand people you said, or the tens of thousands of follow-up troops, you say that there is a way to win them, how do you win?"

Now the situation of our army is even worse than that of Zhou Qushuai at the beginning, behind it is Panyu City, which is ten times stronger than Donghengzhou at that time, there are at least thousands of soldiers in it, fifteen miles to the west is Feng An's camp, and the north is the main force of the crusading army you said, if they merge with Feng An, fight with us head-on, and there are defenders of Panyu City behind them, how can we fight? Can you turn our army into ironclad warriors at once, heavenly soldiers? ”

The corners of Ren Gui's mouth hooked, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, the situation is really grim now, but it is also a great opportunity to settle Lingnan in a war, everyone listen to me slowly."

Feng An's barbarians, and our army's equipment, tactics are basically the same, the number is less than half of our army, now they have not converged with the enemy's main force, will not attack for the time being, and the defenders in Panyu City, even more do not have the courage to go out of the city to fight, really fight, can be ignored, at most in the big camp in the big camp to guard the camp is.

What really needs to be dealt with is the main force of the Sui army's crusading army from afar, their front army is only 3,000 people, and the total army will not exceed 10,000, after meeting with Feng An's 40,000 barbarian soldiers, they will definitely fight with our army quickly, because they have come from afar, and they are short of food and grass, and they can't afford to spend it with us here.

When the time comes, their two armies will be mixed, their tactics are different, and they will be different, but it will be an opportunity for our army, after all, our hundreds of thousands of people are more than twice as many as them, as long as they find an opportunity to defeat the main force of the Sui army, Feng An's barbarian soldiers will definitely collapse without a fight. ”

Gao Qianli said disdainfully: "But Ren Junshi just blew the enemy army into a heavenly general, and the armor is sharp, the bow is strong and the crossbow is fast, and the iron armor is long, how can we, the slang soldiers without armor, fight against it?" I'm afraid that it will be like Zhou Shiju, and I can't get close to other people's bodies. ”

Ren Zhuo's eyebrows raised: "The method is always something that people can come up with, the people that the Sui army relies on are mainly strong bows and fast arrows, our army has no armor, it is difficult to approach them within fifty steps, often the charging troops cannot continue to attack because of heavy casualties, and the corpses will block the impact route of the follow-up troops, it is estimated that Zhou Qushuai will fail in this way, so we have to find another way."

At that time, when attacking Donghengzhou, at first Zhou Shuai's troops could not block the crossbow arrows at the head of the city, and suffered heavy losses, but later I persuaded Zhou Shuai to make a batch of siege equipment, and made thousands of wooden round shields, which effectively prevented the enemy's arrow rain attack at the head of the city.

Although our army does not have the chariot troops of the Central Plains, nor does it have cavalry, but there are still hundreds of carts pulling heavy baggage, taking advantage of these few days, we cut down the woods near here, add baffles to these carts, and then make some large wooden shields half a foot thick, so that the soldiers can put on their heads, and push the carts forward in front, and the soldiers in the rear are on top of this wooden shield.

As long as you can get close to the Sui army within 20 steps, you can enter the stage of short-handed combat, as long as you can rush to the front of the long lance, first use poisonous crossbows to blow arrows and throw throwing knives and axes to disrupt their formation, and then kill the generals to form a melee, so that our army's numerical advantage can be brought into play, and it is not a problem to defeat the more than 10,000 Sui troops, just like the last ambush of Wei Huan, as long as the enemy army is in chaos, our army can win a big victory!

If the main force of the enemy army is defeated, Feng An's rabble must be vulnerable and will only collapse on their own, and Xian Ying will only surrender to the lords at that time, the Sui Dynasty is now busy dealing with the rebellion in Jiangnan, and in my opinion, it will not be able to send a large army into Lingnan in two or three years, and as long as our army captures Panyu and forms a division here, it will naturally be able to dominate one side, without looking at the face of the Sui people, and the Sui people can only accept this fact at that time. (To be continued......)
