Chapter 106: Morale Declines
"My lord, we are already out of the range of Wei County. "Yuwen Chengdu wiped a handful www.biquge.info of rain, and the rain came overnight, until now the sky is bright, and it is not small."
"Now there is Guangping County between my Wei County and Changshan County, and Handan is like a sharp knife in the middle, our army cannot be pulled out for the time being, as for the Yangping granary, I am bound to win, this time I will take advantage of Guangping County, I must travel lightly, and I can't let Tian Feng and Jiang Qi see the clues."
Yuwen Chengdu's face was covered by the rain, and he couldn't see his expression: "The lord didn't send Ma Chao ......"
"Be careful." King Li scolded, and when he saw that there were guards all around, he said: "Ma Chao and I are not the same force, and Chengdu cannot be mentioned outside in the future." ”
"The Last General's Order."
Li Wang's move is not only to protect Ma Chao, but also for Ma Teng's consideration, now Zhu Yuanzhang rises from the ground, hundreds of thousands of responders, compared to the appeal of Zhang Jiao in the past, Ma Teng's position is more embarrassing, it can be said that the three parties are surrounded by foreign races, if Zhu Yuanzhang does his best again, Ma Teng will definitely sink in the rolling giant wheel, Ma Chao as his eldest son, then his actions are more sensitive.
Zhu Yuanzhang was able to stand out and the founding of the Ming Dynasty, which shows that the word Xiaoxiong is slightly insufficient to evaluate, how can Ma Teng deal with it.
King Li put aside these thoughts, and now the top priority is Yangping, as long as he successfully wins the largest granary in Jizhou, then most of the area south of Yecheng will become his own palm, and how to handle it depends on his preferences.
It is said that Shu is difficult to walk, in fact, Jizhou is similar, but some differences are that Shu is undulating hills and strange rocks, while Jizhou is rare earth soft and muddy.
King Li's army marched, and even nearly a quarter of the roads were dismounted and walked, and this light rain completely delayed King Li's march a lot, which also directly led to a decline in the morale of the army.
King Li looked around, except for the eight hundred guards under the command of Yuwen Chengdu, whose faces did not change, the rest of the cavalry all lowered their heads, their faces were covered with mud, and they looked extremely heavy.
The whereabouts of morale will directly affect the cohesion of an army, and even in the distance, there will be a rout and escape under some specific factors, such as the robbery of the camp, such as the battle will end in failure, so King Li is anxious in his eyes.
Li Wang was in a hurry and couldn't change anything, so he could only force himself to calm down and think about countermeasures, and I don't know how long it took, King Li's eyes glowed with gold and he remembered something.
The military battle chapter of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" has a record, its speed is like the wind, its Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, and it is not moving like a mountain, and the Qin army will shout wind, wind, wind when attacking the city and pulling out the village, which should be used to improve morale, and when Grandpa Mao is swaying, the whole army will sing loudly, and its intention must also be to gather morale and unite the whole army.
King Li racked his brains, and finally planned to use the song of serving the country with loyalty to gather morale, after all, this song is in line with the man's iron blood and the pride and ambition of the battlefield, and besides, King Li's inventory is the only one that can remember the lyrics.
As soon as he thought of it, King Li hurriedly called Yuwen Chengdu: "Chengdu, notify the whole army to rest on the spot, and gather the guards together, I have something important to order." ”
The most commendable thing about Yuwen Chengdu is that no matter how strange the orders given by King Li are, they will choose to carry them out without hesitation, which is also one of the two purposes for King Li to keep by his side.
King Li personally drafted a copy of the lyrics and handed them to the guards to read: "Brothers, every word in it must be memorized, and we will use it when we march in the future." ”
It took Wang Li to explain it to make his intentions clear, and most of the literate guards followed silently, and then taught some people who were not very literate, and it didn't matter whether they understood the meaning or not.
The rain blocked the way forward, and the big tent was full of songs of loyalty to the country, although it was like a ghost crying wolf, but at least everyone was studying seriously, but in this boring military career, added a magical stroke.
On this day, Yecheng was surrounded by the Bingzhou legions, and the defending general Gao Gan had to raise the suspension bridge, trying to rely on the barrier of the moat to defend the city.
"Tai Spiff, why are you besieging Yecheng and doing great rebellious things." The high cadres stood at the head of the city with their swords, not angry but mighty.
Tai Shi Ci rode out of his horse and said loudly: "Yuan Shao does not respect the emperor, goes against the sky, and does not steal the country, the Son of Heaven is angry with the government and the opposition, we are the generals, and we naturally want to share the worries for the king, and sweep away the young people." ”
The rain in Yecheng is not strong, and it is equivalent to nothing compared to Guangping County, which makes the confrontation between the two armies unaffected.
"Xu Ziyuan, now the Taiwei is still in Jixian County, Mr. Guo is also joining forces with the eldest prince, our Yecheng is empty, how can we fight against the army of tigers and wolves in this state."
Xu You smiled: "Isn't Yuancai majestic? When Tai Shi Ci joined the state, he was just a pawn, and King Li's eyes were cloudy, and he appointed such people as the main general, and I think it will not be long before he dies. ”
Gao Gan raised his spirit and said: "How can I say this." ”
Xu You said confidently: "The enemy army is tired of coming and going, and he can't wait to besiege the city, which shows the arrogance of his main general, and the arrangement of the soldiers of the state is extremely chaotic, at first glance, it is a rapid march, and it must be tired at this moment, Yuan Cai only needs to mention half of the soldiers and horses in Yecheng, and he can easily scatter it, and even with Yuan Cai's bravery, it is not impossible to take the head of Tai Shici." ”
Gao Gan looked at it and said with a smile: "If this is the case, and this state army only surrounded the north gate, but abandoned the other three gates, it is really stupid to the limit, Ziyuan will wait a while, let me go and meet this state army for a while." ”
The desolate horn sounded whining, this was the order to charge, Xu You sent people to lower the drawbridge, and let the Gao Gan lead the army to cover the killing.
"The enemy is coming, the cavalry is ready to charge, the spearmen cover the archers to shoot the enemy, put."
With a wave of Tai Shici's big hand, arrows were shot from the chaotic army, but they didn't make any waves when they fell into the enemy's army, which made Gao Gan feel uplifted, and he called the enemy army in his heart This is a merit sent to the door.
Jia Xu stood coldly on the command platform built by the Chinese army, just waiting for the senior cadres to rush in.
Gao Gan didn't know that this seemingly chaotic arrangement of troops was actually Jia Xu's fish scale dragon formation, and he only felt that the rush and killing were like an enemy army without any obstacles, as if it were natural.
After the last enemy army rushed into the state army, the yellow flag in Jia Xu's hand turned, swaying and pointing to the direction of the enemy army in the northwest, with the transmission of the order, the soldiers on that side roared and separated, leaving a large open space, the army led by Gao Gan was strangely divided into four, one of which happened to fall to the dragon head of Dazhang, from Xu Yu's point of view, the dragon head was extremely hideous, under the cover of drizzle, dead silence like a dragon snake ready to go, cold and emotionless.
