Three hundred and fourteen rounds of the Battle of Shinno 2
"General! The arrows in the city have gradually run out, and in these three days of battle, just counting the salvo of archers, has consumed 100,000 arrows! And the rolling stone sasswood is no longer there. How should we deal with this battle of tomorrow, when it comes to defending the city!? "From the first day of the war, under the profligacy of the loser, Lu Xun could only return in vain, even if he had great ability. Leaving behind more than 3,000 corpses, Sansa retreated.
On the surface, the casualties of the Xinye Wei army were negligible, and the Wu army's ladders and rushing cars, under the impact of the rain of arrows and trees, almost did not even touch the edge of the city wall, even if a small number of lucky soldiers erected the ladders on the city wall, they were only greeted by swarming swords and shields, or boiling gold juice boiling oil. Only the routine firing of ballistas and thunderbolts was really lethal, but they did not dare to go too far ahead because they were afraid of Pound's cavalry.
However, in fact, Xinye's "unscathed" and Wu's "defeated retreat" are different in the eyes of real generals. Such a profligacy of consumption is a harbinger of danger. When the arrows were finally used up, the rolling stone and the wood were gone, and the morale of the enemy army was high, if it could touch the city wall, it would undoubtedly be worse for the Wei army, which had no numerical advantage.
In these three days, the same rain of arrows was shot happily, but after Lu Xun temporarily withdrew from the army, those partial generals and generals who had experienced a lot of battles suddenly woke up and noticed that something was wrong.
Wen Ping laughed heartily in the face of the generals' reluctance to question, took the sword from the wall, hung it on his waist, and took the cloak handed by the attendant and wrapped it around his shoulder. Only then did he look around at the generals and speak, but he looked at him left and right, and asked, "It's not too late today." Generals, do you want to patrol the barracks with Ben General? ”
The generals looked at each other, and Wen Ping's confident laughter made them quite puzzled, but when they saw the main general's invitation, they didn't dare not accept it, so they could only hug their fists in unison, "The last general is willing to patrol the camp with the general!" ”
However, there are still some people who are a little reluctant, and one general still asks: "But...... Checkmate! We waited for what we said before......"
Wen Ping waved his hand, and there was still no displeasure on his face. smiled and said: "Don't worry, you can follow Ben to patrol and talk about it at the same time!" ”
While answering, several loud horse neighs sounded outside the house. Wen Ping raised his cloak and went out of the house first. "The horses are ready. Generals, please! ”
The generals had doubts in their hearts. You can only force yourself to press. hurriedly followed. Walking from the General's Mansion to the Nancheng Barracks, Wen Ping still smiled and said nothing along the way. The galloping of the military horse made him look even more imposing. In less than two quarters of an hour, Wen Ping took the lead, and dozens of commanders and generals of the various departments behind him finally arrived at the military camp.
Outside the camp, a night watchman saw Wen Ping and hurriedly stepped forward in a panic. Or someone wanted to go to the guard on duty, but he was stopped by Wen Ren, only saying that he was secretly patrolling the camp and never making a noise, but he only led everyone into it slowly.
It was nightfall. But in the entire barracks, there was no sign of silence. Wen Ping slowly interspersed between the barracks, and none of these many soldiers knew that the commander had suddenly come, but at this time, everyone was hiding in the camp tent, and their eyebrows were dancing about the three-day battle to defend the city.
From the mouths of the soldiers, all the generals who accompanied them, including Wen Ping, heard it clearly. Without exception, all the soldiers were overjoyed and elated at the victory they had won over the three days of repulsion of the enemy.
These soldiers at the lowest level did not know how to march and arrange, did not know how to strategize, and did not know the key points of defending and attacking the city, but their honesty and wooden ability could only know that they had won in these three days, and the victory was extremely easy, and without damaging a few brothers, they let the other party leave more than 3,000 corpses.
From the mouths of the pawns who never slept in the tents, almost all the talk was about praise for the chief general and optimism about the future war. It seems that Lu Xun's defeat is just a snap of his fingers.
Many generals and captains, seeing that they are looking at each other, they are naturally not as short-sighted and optimistic as these low-level pawns, and they have the heart to stop their blindness, but they are stopped by the clerk.
Wen Ping looked at the sky, and then looked at the generals with a halo, and said indifferently: "Our army is now so victorious, the casualties are not more than a millimeter, and the enemy army has been defeated and killed as many as 3,000 soldiers......"
Speaking of this, Wen Ping didn't wait for anyone to refute, he raised his horsewhip with one hand and pointed to all the tents in the camp, and said loudly, "You watch and hear, this city is full of soldiers now, but there is still a fear of war?" ”
The generals were silent, looking at each other and silent, but it was just as Tong Wenpin said. They did not disturb the soldiers in the camp along the way, but from their joyful voices, they could see the low morale and fear of war not long ago. Four years ago, the first emperor Cao Pi three-way army attacked Wu, Xiangyang lost troops in the first battle, the generals Zhang Liao and Xu Huang died successively, and the general Cao Ren died of illness in the army, and 80,000 soldiers were buried in other places.
This scene has become a hurdle that is difficult for Wei Jun to overcome. Today's Wei army actually has a trace of fear of Wu, and half a month ago when he heard that the Wu army was coming to attack, he was still afraid of war. This makes Wen Ping dare to give it a go, so when the war starts, restoring the morale of the army is the key.
However, although the morale of the army was restored, it was also without the knowledge of the soldiers. The generals and captains opened their mouths and had nothing to say. However, there was still a young man who looked like a school captain and retorted, "Although the morale of the army has risen, but the general is so profligate today, and the capital for defending the city has gradually become empty. The general has always been calm and moderate, and our soldiers are naturally convinced, but what we did today, I don't know why the general is abnormal, and it is really reckless and unwise......"
Wen Ping laughed when he heard this, and his rough palm gently patted the shoulder of the young lieutenant-looking man, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that you don't just evaluate me like this in your hearts, right?" ”
Speaking of this, Wen Ping's expression became even more smiling, "I'll mention it to you in the future." What this general has done in the past three days is already timid, loud, disorganized, and incompetent...... Well, there is also madness, ignorance of the art of war, ignorance of war! Such ignorant fighters and incompetent generals will bury the soldiers in the city sooner or later, and capture the enemy army for breaking the city! ”
When the generals heard this, their faces changed suddenly, and they all lowered their heads and said to Wen Ping: "The last general will not dare!" "If you look at the previous achievements and use of soldiers, it is not his style.
Wen Ping waved his hand disapprovingly, and said with a smile, "It's okay! That's what it was supposed to do! Since all the generals can also guess me like this, thinking that the general is so stupid and incompetent, then the enemy commander Lu Xun has never met me, and he has never fought in the past. This is the first time that the two of us have fought each other, shouldn't he also look at me like this? ”
At this time, the generals seemed to be pointed out by Wen Ping, and they raised their heads one after another, looked left and right, and suddenly clapped their hands and sighed, "General, is it not to show the enemy to be weak?" ”
Wen Ping slowly continued to patrol the depths of the camp, and said step by step, "Ben General has spent extravagantly in the past three days, and he has almost exhausted the defense funds in the city, isn't it just to make the army's morale rise and not be afraid of the enemy's might?" Hehe...... However, as you said, it would have been such an impatient performance. Isn't it also played to the enemy commander! ”
"But...... Although the general showed that the enemy was weak, after all, the consumption in our city was real, and judging it from the last general, it would encourage the arrogance of the enemy army, and the offensive would be more vigorous. I'm afraid the end will ...... Fear...... Counterproductive......! Suddenly, someone suddenly interjected.
Wen Ping glanced at the person who raised a different opinion, and saw that he was the young captain of Fang Cai, so he couldn't help but nodded. But he was still full of confidence, smashed his eyes, and if there was no way, "I am proud of the enemy, but I am also the heart of my army." Now the city is not enough to have such a prestige tomorrow, even if all the soldiers feel that tomorrow the battle, our army will waste military funds and it will be difficult for us to win today. But tomorrow's war will use up the military spirit accumulated in the past three days, but it is not impossible! ”
Speaking of this, Wen Ping smiled wryly, "If my expectations are correct, tomorrow, the enemy army will definitely attack in a big way...... But have you forgotten, General Pound? ”
At this time, the generals were shocked to realize that Pang De, who had been stationed in Xicheng since the siege of the Wu army, neither participated in the defense of the city, nor did he supervise the battle with Wen Ping, but became quiet.
"The general is going to wait for the Wu army to attack tomorrow and order General Pang De to lead the army out of the city!!" Then a trembling voice rang out.
Wen Ping glanced at his face and couldn't help but have a surprised expression, pointed to the person who had just spoken, and asked, "Which lieutenant are you, why are you so blind?" ”
"The last general??? Deng?? Deng Ai, no??? Be?? Captain!! The young man actually stuttered.
"Back to the general!!" At this time, the lieutenant of Xinye's pawn farmer opened his mouth to relieve Deng Ai, "He is a bachelor under the command of the last general." ”
Wen Ping raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and sneered: "Bachelor of Dian Nong? Use a steam engine to crack nuts. From today onwards, you will be my tooth general, and Hugh Er will give this little brother a pair of bright light armor! However, Deng Ai and Pang Lingming would have already left the city.
