Chapter Seventy-Two: The Weakness of the Army

"Is the general still thinking about today's daytime, in this case, the general doesn't have to worry, it's just a small Yulin City, and when our army rests, he will definitely be able to take him down in one go." While leisurely cooking tea, Mr. Tong said.

"Mr. is too worried, I'm not worried about this matter, I think I'm Hao Shaoqi is also a person who has fought countless big battles, how can this little thing distract me, what I'm worried about is that time waits for no one, you know, now Li Chuang has become the climate, not to mention thousands of generals, millions of soldiers, but it can be regarded as a prince, if he waits until he conquers Xi'an, the world will definitely shake, maybe he can really make things happen, at that time, the world is so big, where is my place!" Hao Shaoqi took a sip of wine and said with emotion.

Hearing Hao Shaoqi's emotion, Mr. Tong couldn't help but be stunned, and then shook his head, "Don't worry, general, although Li Chuang looks like he is in the middle of the day now, and even has the potential to move into the center, but according to his subordinates, it is just a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water, no matter how powerful it is, it can't escape the result of disappearing." ”

"Oh, sir, come quickly, Hao listens." As soon as Mr. Tong's words came out, Hao Shaoqi immediately said with interest.

Seeing that Hao Shaoqi was interested, Mr. Tong couldn't help but continue: "First of all, has the general ever heard that there are all dynasties that started with liukou and won the world, no, whether it is Chen Sheng in the Qin period, Wu Guang, Huang Chao in the Tang Dynasty, or even Han Shantong and others at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when these people first took up, they all responded to the call and the world shook, but as a result, they all became the first birds and were quickly exterminated, but those who just started to bury their heads in development can often receive huge benefits.

Secondly, although Li Chuang looks like a huge momentum now, but three or four years ago he was just a rogue who was wandering around, and he has achieved such a general trend in three or four years.

The most important point is that there are no available people around Li Chuang, not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the officials under him now, except for Niu Jinxing, Li Yan and a few others, the rest go up to the ministers, down to the small county orders, which one is appointed by him, all of them are changed from the imperial court, in this way, the same place, the same people, except for changing the object of allegiance, what is the difference?

Today, these people can surrender to him because of Li Chuang's strength, how do you know that these people will not surrender to other people tomorrow, and how can he stabilize such an unstable foundation.

Finally, and it is particularly important, that is, Li Chuang's subordinates are not united, if it is a peaceful period, it is normal to have disputes, and the leader can use this to balance the power, but when is it now, in troubled times, as a force, when the enemy has not been defeated, there is actually a fight within the first, and it is simply wishful thinking to fight for the world. ”

I have to say that this Mr. Tong is also a generation of geniuses, in just a few words, the loopholes of the entire army are clear, you know, in history, Li Zicheng and the army group are also because of these reasons, after entering Beijing City, they were quickly beaten out by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then, the originally powerful army was torn apart in a short period of time, and quickly disappeared into history.

"So, do I still have a chance?" Hearing Mr. Tong's words, Hao Shaoqi suddenly said with a red light on his face.

"Opportunity, there must be one, otherwise, the subordinates don't have to work so hard to give advice to the general, it's just that if the general wants to rise successfully, hard work, opportunity, and luck are indispensable, and this is also the chance we have to gamble on, as for the result, only God knows." Mr. Tong said honestly.

"Okay, I gambled, thinking that I Hao Shaoqi was originally just a country grass farmer, and today I still have the opportunity to fight for that opportunity, and I am already satisfied, even if he dies for this day, I will never regret it, because I want people to know that I have fought for it." Hao Shaoqi threw the porcelain bowl in his hand to the ground and said.

"In this way, my subordinates wish the general to fulfill his wish as soon as possible." Replacing wine with tea, Mr. Tong drank the tea in the cup

Yulin City, county Yazhong

"Second brother, tell me what news came back from the spies you sent to Xi'an." Shi Lei sat on the chair and asked Monkey Er on the side.

"My lord, the time of the people we sent to Xi'an was too short, so most of them didn't work, and only one sent back a message to a person who was partial to cooking in the army." Monkey Er replied.

"Oh, what is the news, does it have anything to do with the army that came to attack our Yulin this time, tell me about it." When Shi Lei heard this, he said anxiously.

"My lord, that spy was only when he was delivering food to the general, he overheard a little news, but it was not necessarily true, the original words probably said that Niu Jinxing did not hesitate to use all means this time for his son, so that King Chuang agreed to send troops, but because of the opposition of Li Yan and Song Xiance, he could only let Hao Shaoqi, who had been eating idle meals in the army, bring a group of farmers who had no combat effectiveness to come to Yulin." Monkey Er told the news he knew word for word.

Hearing Monkey Er's words, Shi Lei's heart suddenly brightened, and many things that he couldn't understand in his heart finally fully understood, it turned out that this was the case, Shi Lei, who had figured it out, couldn't help but blame himself secretly in his heart at this time, thinking that he was making too much fuss, it turned out that the reason why the Chuang Army did not dispatch elite troops was because the Chuang Army was not peaceful inside.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect it, it turned out to be like this, they all said that there was nothing wrong with being careful, but I didn't expect that I was too careful, and I almost did the wrong thing." Shi Lei said self-deprecatingly.

"Your Excellency, are you alright?" Seeing the sarcastic smile leaking from Shi Lei's face, Monkey Er couldn't help but ask.

"It's okay, it's okay, not only is it okay, I'm also very good, it's never been better, oh yes, second brother, from now on, those spies we sent out, let them all act as soon as possible, we are here to ask for money and money, to give people to people, anyway, in a word, we must let them successfully ascend to the high position in the fastest time, you know, without intelligence, we think that we have no eyes and ears, and we will suffer a big loss." Shi Lei said seriously.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely hurry up and do this matter." After finishing speaking, Monkey Er left quietly as if it was time to come.

Looking at the back of Monkey Er leaving, Shi Lei couldn't help but read in his mouth, "Hao Shaoqi, I didn't expect it to be this person, no wonder it looked different from ordinary people last time, although it is also a character, but unfortunately there is no trace of integrity and backbone, in the face of the Qing army, he actually led 40,000 people to surrender without a fight, it can be said that he is one of the few traitors in China, and now since I have met you, then you don't want to run, and I will not give you the opportunity to be a traitor." ’

The sun rose and the moon set, two days passed in a blink of an eye, and on the morning of the third day, with the sound of shocking drums and trumpets, the Hao Ying soldiers outside the city relined themselves and pressed towards Yulin City.

In the past two days, the soldiers of Hao Ying have not completely rested, but have built a large number of siege equipment, of course, it is not a difficult thing, just some simple siege vehicles, rushing vehicles and ladders.

"Brothers, do you want to be promoted and rich?" Standing at the front of the line, Hao Shaoqi shouted loudly.

"Think, think, think"

In response to Hao Shaoqi's questioning, these soldiers in Hao Ying's camp suddenly shouted loudly.

"Okay, just think about it, now, this general will give you a chance to get promoted and make a fortune, do you see the city in front, now, as long as you give me to capture it, you can be promoted and make a fortune, here, I promise you, the first to attack the city, the reward is three thousand taels of silver, the official is promoted to three levels, brothers, give me a rush!"

In the face of the passionate soldiers, Hao Shaoqi suddenly promised loudly, and sure enough, Hao Shaoqi's promise made the eyes of all the Hao Ying soldiers turn red, like a wild wolf that has been hungry for countless days.

"Kill"

With this shout, all of a sudden, the 20,000 Hao battalion soldiers swarmed towards Yulin City like an avalanche. This time, in order to be able to capture Yulin City in one go, Hao Shao took all his blood, not only took out a heavy reward, but also selected hundreds of people who dared to die from the army, plus those veterans under his original command, formed a death camp, rushed in the first column, and followed by these people were two thousand archers.

Last time, because Hao Shaoqi was anxious and underestimated Shi Lei, he didn't send archers to suppress it at all, and what followed the archers was the siege equipment.

Looking at the Hao Ying soldiers who were swarming under the city, the soldiers above the city were also ready to fight, but Shi Lei and the others were not nervous at this time, but they still had smiles on their faces, such a strange situation made some people who didn't know the truth feel extremely surprised in their hearts.

"My lord, do you want to give them a few tastes first, so that everyone can see and understand, and it doesn't take it seriously." Seeing that the enemy under the city had rushed within five hundred steps, the impatient Iron Bear couldn't help but ask.

"What's the hurry, wait well, if you use it now, what if you scare Hao Shaoqi away, I still want to leave him here, okay, don't talk, otherwise, I'll let you go down like this, and I won't even let you move." Seeing the iron bear holding a grenade in his hand and fiddling with it, Shi Lei said.

Collect, collect, collect
