When Wei Wuji was playing here. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yang Xiong was not idle here.

All the soldiers of the Qin army who could fight stood in front of the camp. There are only about 5,000 people. With a thousand people as a large phalanx, it is the same as Wei Wuji's side. The reason is that the establishment of both sides is the establishment of the Qin army, which is almost identical. Only Wei Wuji changed a few official names, such as two hundred lords, two or five hundred lords. With such a name, Wei Wuji felt that it was really difficult to hear.

Among Yang Xiong's 5,000 people, there are still hundreds of people who are injured. However, they are all minor injuries and do not affect the battle.

After Yang Xiong gathered all the troops, he did not stand on the high platform, but took a few personal guards to get off the platform, walked over from the soldiers, and sorted out the armor for some soldiers as he walked, and said: "Tidy up, wait a while to go to the battlefield, it can save your life." ”

When he met an injured soldier, he asked, "How is the injury, does it matter?" ”

One by one, Yang Xiong has been taking these soldiers for a long time, and he is very clear about many people's resumes. Yang Xiong could even call out the name of a soldier and ask him if he was okay at home.

Yang Xiong walked over one phalanx after another, and everywhere he passed, countless soldiers settled down in their hearts, and the atmosphere of yesterday's defeat gradually dissipated.

That's what a veteran is capable of.

After Yang Xiong turned around below, he stood on the high platform again, and he didn't need the guards to transmit the sound, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, in yesterday's battle, I was incompetent and couldn't stand everyone, and I miscalculated the strength of the thieves, which led to a big defeat and the death of many brothers. ”

The voice was so loud that it clearly reached the ears of every soldier.

When Yang Xiong said this, his eyes were red.

After hearing Yang Xiong say this, many soldiers couldn't help but start to defend Yang Xiong in their hearts.

These soldiers have been with Yang Xiong for many years, and most of them have received Yang Xiong's favor, and someone immediately said loudly: "General, it's not your fault, since ancient times, siege battles have always had heavy casualties. Everyone has prepared this meal. Nothing to do with the generals. ”

For a while, the soldiers talked a lot, and they all surrounded Yang Xiong to exonerate.

As soon as Yang Xiong's hand was leveled, the voices of the soldiers immediately calmed down, and Yang Xiong said: "The guards and thieves rely on the strong city, which is not easy to overcome, and it is not easy to avenge the brothers, but today the guards and thieves are rampant, and they actually asked me to wait for the east of the city to fight, which is a good time for us to take revenge." ”

Yang Xiong pulled out the long sword in his hand, cut off his hair bun with a sword, and said, "Now Yang Xiong has died here." In today's battle, we are waiting to die and live. ”

Several generals followed Yang Xiong to cut off their hair buns with a sword. Yang Xiong is like this, and the soldiers behind him naturally follow. All the Qin soldiers and soldiers were immediately distributed. But morale was boosted.

But that's not enough.

Spirituality, if there is no material support, is just opium, and it can be invigorated for a while. But it was impossible to rely on him for food.

Yang Xiong said: "The major clans in Puyang City follow Wei Wuji to make trouble, and they will die according to the law. The knife was not sealed for three days. ”

Speaking of "not sealing the knife for three days", Yang Xiong's eyebrows couldn't help but tremble slightly, he naturally knew the fate of not sealing the knife for three days, it can be said that this Puyang City will not be able to recover in the next ten years.

Yang Xiong has always felt that he is a counterinsurgency. Puyang City is also the residence of Yang Xiong for many years, and now that Puyang City is destroyed in the war, Yang Xiong's heart is a little unbearable, but Ci is not in charge of the army, and he is not responsible for financial management, and when things come to this point, Yang Xiong can only do this.

There are several veterans under Yang Xiong's soldiers, who have already joined the army when the Six Kingdoms were destroyed. It's an old fritter. As soon as I heard Yang Xiong's words, my eyes lit up.

Even though the Qin soldiers had not experienced the slaughter of the city, they had heard from the elders. The slaughter of the city is certainly a catastrophe for the locality, but for the Qin army, it is a feast of wealth, how much wealth a city has, even if it receives most of it, it is enough for these soldiers to eat the garden.

For a while, the Qin army was imposing, but this high momentum was mixed with some tyrannical things.

Morale has been boosted.

When the Qin army left the camp, some light soldiers had already dispersed early, and they reported the location of the guards like a horse.

Yang Xiong just like several lieutenants under his command said the strategy of this battle. Yang Xiong said: "In today's battle, the enemy is outnumbered, so we hold the position steadily, and use crossbow arrows to defeat the enemy. Wait for the enemy to strike first. Li Chen's crossbowmen are all handed over to you. You line up at the front, wait for the enemy to attack, fire your crossbow first, and then retreat to both flanks. ”

Li Chen said: "Yes." ”

Yang Xiong said: "All the rangers in the army have gathered in the place of the Chinese army, and I have a lot of use." ”

"Yes."

Yang Xiong continued: "The other four divisions are lined up after Li Chen, and when Li Chen's troops withdraw left and right, they will move forward in a big way and attack the hostile enemy. ”

Yang Xiong turned his head again and said, "Li Chen, when the main force is fighting, you have to protect the two wings, and continue to shoot the enemy with bows and crossbows, can you do it?" ”

Li Chen said: "I will live up to the general's trust." ”

Yang Xiong said: "In this case, let's go down and prepare." ”

Yang Xiong's department is just a county soldier, not a Beijing division soldier, not a border guard, just a county soldier, and Dongjun is in the middle of the world, for Qin for decades, so these county soldiers only have some bows and crossbows, what cavalry, what chariots, all of them. All the cavalry that Yang Xiong could recruit was only one or two hundred cavalry, and even then he contributed all the officers' mounts.

But Yang Xiong is still good. At least Yang Xiong had to have a horse, so he could find a good rider in the army. But Wei Wuji's subordinates, even if they can collect some horses in Puyang City, there are very few war horses, even if there are war horses, there are few people who can ride warriors, even if Wei Wuji himself, his riding skills are limited to horseback riding. In the absence of a Takahashi saddle, no stirrups, and no horseshoes, riding was a difficult and expensive technique. At least there are very few such knights under Wei Wuji.

Puyang City is just behind.

Wei Wuji's seven large phalanxes of the whole army were lined up. Slowly walked towards the battlefield.

There is no need to choose the battlefield of the two armies at all, it is in the middle of Puyang City and Yang Xiong's camp.

In order to save physical strength, both armies did not go fast.

When the two armies were far away from each other, the generals of both sides gave orders at the same time. For a moment, all the soldiers sat down on the ground.

All the officers urged their men to drink water and stuff a little dry food into their mouths.

In fact, because the war is imminent, today's breakfast is very rich, and all the soldiers have eaten a lot, and they are not hungry at the moment, but they must eat something if they are not hungry.

In ancient times, fighting wars was no better than now, and now it is only necessary to shoot. But in ancient times, fighting a war was a work of strength, whether it was shooting a bow and arrows, or fighting to the death, it required strength. And as soon as the battle starts, who will give you time to eat, so before you go into battle, you need to eat something, because you don't know when the next meal will be, and even for some people, there will be no next meal.

And you can't eat too much, because if you're full, people will be lazy. Slow to react, on the battlefield, a person who can't react can be killed, how can people be fed.

Wei Wuji drank water and said, "Go to the army alone." ”

To the army, it is a kind of etiquette in the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, to send a person to greet so-and-so, and say that I represent so-and-so, to say hello to so-and-so. It's generally good to show your martial arts.

Of course, Wei Wuji's move was not a simple greeting, it was clearly to send a warrior to challenge in front of the army, first, to pass the time, and second, to suppress the morale of the other party.

When Wei Wuji spoke, although he didn't say a certain person, his eyes couldn't help but look at Canghai Jun. Because Canghai Jun is the most brave among the guards, even if he is Huang Cheng, who is famous for his swordsmanship, his performance in the battle array is much worse than Canghai Jun.

Canghai Jun understood and said, "The minister is willing to go." ”

Wei Wuji was overjoyed and said: "Okay, I wish Canghai Jun a victory." Greatly increase the prestige of our army. ”

Canghaijun said: "Your subordinates, you will definitely live up to your mission, and you will not be able to return if you don't win." ”

Wei Wuji smiled: "Why do you need to do this, just do your best, and the victory or defeat of the war is not on one or two people." ”
