At the end of the day, the six-battalion longbow formation was ready to stop, and Xiong Wuguo saw that Yang Hao had not given an order for a long time, so he came to the Chinese army to ask,

Yang Hao sighed silently: "Under my order, thousands of people will lose their lives in an instant, is this my fault or his Chai Hongyue's fault." ”

Xiong Wuguo said: "Kill a thousand, save 10,000, adults are benevolent and righteous, and there is no need to feel guilty." ”

Yang Hao looked at the blue sky and smiled bitterly: "Benevolence is the end of righteousness, and killing less is benevolence and righteousness." ”

Xiong Wuguo didn't understand why Yang Hao came from this emotion, and he didn't dare to ask, he looked at Zhang Bozhong, came to ask for ideas, Zhang Bozhong frowned, approached Yang Hao and said: "General Xiong is right, since you have to kill people, killing a thousand, saving 10,000 is benevolence and righteousness, and adults really don't need to feel guilty." ”

Yang Hao stared at Zhang Bozhong's face, speechless for a long time, and in the end, he just nodded slightly,

The six battalions of the longbow array counted 1,200 people, surrounded by Mingdao Village on all sides, 1,200 rockets for a wave, from the periphery of the military village to the core of the Chinese army to advance, Mingdao Village instantly turned into a sea of fire, at first, the longbow formation planned to attack ten waves, the first six waves with rockets, the remaining four with heavy arrows attack,

After the six waves of rocket attacks, Mingdaozhai basically has no complete thing, more than 1,000 soldiers were compressed to the school military field in front of the Chinese military tent, everyone lost their armor, people crowded, gathered into a ball, no armor, no shield, no tile on the head, is a group of lambs to be slaughtered,

Yang Hao suddenly ordered to stop the attack at this time,

Zhang Bozhong, who supervised the battle on the front line, was very surprised, in the original plan, Mingdao Village will be completely destroyed, this is a plan to kill chickens and monkeys, by showing the powerful power of the longbow array rocket, forcing Chai Shangyan and the Hedong Army stationed in Taiyuan to give up resistance, so as not to go to Taiyuan City for a bloody disaster, and now the goal has not been achieved Why suddenly stopped the attack,

"Why did you order the attack to stop?" Zhang Bozhong asked,

"Let them go back to Taiyuan, and let Taiyuan break itself through their mouths."

Of course, the strategy of attacking the heart is the best policy, how to attack the heart is divided into advantages and disadvantages such as three, six, nine, etc., Zhang Bozhong insisted that Chai Shangyan has a very heavy speculative psychology, this kind of person does not shed tears when he does not see the coffin, only by letting him see the power of the longbow array with his own eyes, can he completely convince him, and turn Daoming Village into a hell of fire, which is more clean and direct than letting Chai Hongyue go back, this is the reason why Zhang Bozhong persuaded Yang Hao to annihilate the defenders of Ming Daozhai at the original time, but Yang Hao was merciful at the critical moment.

This made Zhang Bozhong look down on Yang Hao in his heart, he was not in charge of money, he was not in charge of the army, how could the marshal of the former army be soft and change the military order at will, but this time Zhang Bozhong chose to be silent, because no matter what, Yang Hao was just soft-hearted, but he didn't make any other mistakes.

Chai Hongyue and his soldiers fled towards Taiyuan in a hurry, and they were already defeated on the way, and the powerful power of the longbow array spread with their exaggerated descriptions.

Xiong Wuguo reported to Yang Hao that there were less than 5,000 feather arrows left in the longbow array, and each person was less than five, Yu Yanlu reported that the three battalions of Agni, Flying Tiger, and Xiaocai were less than 1,000 people together, because of the extreme shortage of food, the morale of each battalion was low to the verge of collapse, and during the march, the soldiers went around capturing the people regardless of the ban, and no less than ten people were beheaded every day for violating military discipline.

Grain, grain, if there is no food, thousands will starve to death in this vast snowland, Yang Hao is exhausted by the food problem, and the iron string in his brain is tight, and there is a danger of breaking at any time.

Fortunately, there is no endless road, things suddenly took a turn for the better, there is a town called Zhaoyang seventy-five miles away from Taiyuan City, inhabited by three or five hundred households, Haotian Trading Company built three grain depots in the town, each with five thousand stones of grain and rice, Yang Hao was overjoyed, and immediately sent Yu Yanlu to borrow grain, the grain depot manager refused to go out on the grounds that he did not receive the general number of the order, Yu Yanlu said all the good things, still did not work, so he glared, crossed his five fingers and pushed the steward to the ground, sent troops to block the four gates of the grain depot, and forcibly borrowed three thousand stone grain back to the camp, Zhang Bozhong called the steward, gave him an IOU, and said: "This grain is borrowed by the Xining Army, and it should be paid off in full after half a year. ”

The housekeeper refused to accept the IOU, and insisted that Yang Hao sign the IOU, Zhang Bozhong said angrily: "I am a military advisor, and I should be responsible for the affairs of the army, so should I borrow a few stones of grain to bother the general." ”

The steward said: "It's not that the villain can't trust the military division, it's the big treasurer who has already explained, if your army borrows grain, it must be signed by General Yang to be effective, otherwise it is a small mistake, please complete the military division." Yang Hao had no choice but to sign the seal letter on the IOU.

After a few days of rest in Zhaoyang Town, the battalions gradually recovered their vitality, so the wounded soldiers of the battalions were concentrated and stayed in Zhaoyang, and ordered Yu Che, the lieutenant of the cavalry battalion, to lead the guards to garrison, Yang Hao and Zhang Bozhong, Sui Crouching Hu, Yu Yanlu and others arrived in the west of Taiyuan City, and joined the Ma Heshang Department of the broken camp, the total of the four battalions was less than 3,000, even if the six battalions of the longbow array were only in the early 4,000s, compared with the 50,000 garrisons of the armies inside and outside Taiyuan, Hedong was really insignificant,

Yang Hao just arrived at the camp in the west of the city, Chai Shangyan sent Mu Liangfang to labor the army, and sent a lot of wine, but the military food was not seen at all, Yang Hao asked the soldiers to pile up the three thousand stone grain borrowed from Zhaoyang in the most conspicuous position in the camp, the ground was muddy and inconvenient to pass, and threw dozens of grain bags on the ground to step on the ground, Mu Liangfang was dumbfounded, and proposed to go to the camp to watch the drill,

Yang Hao accompanied him to review the horse team of the Fengya battalion, the ironclad infantry formation of the Flying Tiger battalion and the longbow army of six battalions, the Hedong Army was divided into two parts in the north and south with Xinzhou as the boundary, the main enemy of the southern garrison was the army of the three towns of Heshuo and other surrounding feudal towns, and the northern faction was to guard against the Khitan, Xi, Uighurs and other nomadic peoples, the mission was different, the army's training equipment was naturally different, the longbow army and the armored infantry army formation belonged to the characteristic arms of the northern faction, the longbow army has always been in the hands of Liu Desan and other northern generals, Mu Liangfang was a southern general, But for the first time, I have seen the glory,

After Chai Hongyue returned from the fiasco of Mingdaozhai, in order to get rid of his crimes, he rendered the longbow array in front of Chai Shangyan, it seemed that as soon as the six-battalion longbow formation came out, no one in the world dared to compete for the hunting and murderous spirit, Chai Shangyan was frightened, and specially asked Mu Liangfang to come to Yang Hao's camp in the name of the labor army to spy on the truth.

Although the military appearance is neat, but what is the combat power, Mu Liangfang wants to see it with his own eyes, Yang Hao After listening to his story, he said with great embarrassment: "Don't hide it from General Mu, the special bows and arrows of the longbow array have been exhausted, and the spare arrows have to be transported here from Shuozhou, and they are still on the way at the moment, so I can't ask the general to taste them, and I feel guilty." ”

Mu Liangfang was secretly happy in his heart, and ran back to Taiyuan City every night to tell Chai Shangyan this information, Chai Shangyan pouted and smiled: "Old Mu, you fell for him, the art of war cloud, the real is false, the virtual is real, he is deceiving you." ”

Mu Liangfang suddenly realized: "This kid is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, but my lord, now the Xining army is besieging the city on three sides, and although our army has 50,000, the orders are different, what should I do." ”

Chai Shangyan stretched out a finger: "Then let's talk to him about the word 'drag', if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, he comes from afar, the food and grass are not enough, and it will definitely not last." ”

Mu Liangfang said: "My lord's words are wrong, the grain and grass in his camp are piled up, and even the whole bag of grain is used to pave the road on the ground, I am afraid that there is fraud in it, so I deliberately checked it secretly, it is all genuine high-grade rice, counting on him to retire from the army due to lack of food, I am afraid that it will be three or five years later."

Chai Qi on the side interjected: "I think my father still fights his idea less, Qingquan said, this person is a ghost, people like Liu Desan, Qu Chuji, and Liu Wei will inevitably be defeated under his hands, what do you do to fight him, rely on straw bales like Chai Hongyue, or rely on those grass-headed soldiers in the city who will only scare the people." ”

Chai Shangyan glared at Chai Qi and shouted, "Is there a share of you interjecting here?" ”

Chai Qi still said with a cold face, "You also go outside to listen and see what the people say: If the Xining army attacks the city, they will open the city gate and sacrifice the city. ”

Chai Shangyan was stunned, and hurriedly cast an inquiring glance at Mu Liangfang, Mu Liangfang smiled wryly: "There are indeed some rumors in the city......

Chai Shangyan sighed, lowered his head, and said excitedly after a while: "I didn't do this to fight for the interests of Hedong, since I don't appreciate it, why don't I bother to be a person inside and out." He jumped up and said to Mu Liangfang: "Then you will work hard again, tomorrow and at the end of the morning, I will open the six gates of Taiyuan and welcome him into the city. ”

On the eighth day of the second month, the sky was fine,

At the end of the day, the Tiger Battalion, the Sharp Arrow Battalion, the Flame Battalion, the Flying Tiger Battalion, and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion entered the city from the west gate of Taiyuan City, and crossed the entire Taiyuan City into the colonel's military field in the east of the city.

Yang Hao has always disliked these scenes, except for the occasions that must be there, he handed over all the entertainment to Zhang Bozhong, in Yang Hao's view, Chai Shangyan is no different from those politicians in later generations, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, seeing the wind and making the rudder, and the kung fu of open fire and dark knife is perfect.

Let this kind of person stay in Hedong will inevitably become an obstacle for himself in the future, although Lian Yong occupies Xia Sui, after self-proclaimed, but his qualifications are still shallow, in the eyes of Li Ang and the old ministers of the court, he is not qualified to be the lord of a town, so he will run Chai Shangyan to Xia Sui as a festival envoy, let him and Lian Yong contain each other, that is a wonderful thing,

Yang Hao asked Zhang Bozhong to assess the cost and difficulty of the operation, Zhang Bozhong came to the conclusion that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, Yang Hao then made up his mind, he handed over to Qu Qingquan at this time, Qu Qingquan was already dissatisfied with Chai Shangyan's reversal, and Chai Shangyan designed to kill Luo Weichen, and tried his best to match his marriage with Chai Qi was even more disgusted, after accepting Yang Hao's task, Qu Qingquan left Taiyuan with a huge amount of money and went to Chang'an,
