On March 10 of the second year of Jianning, there was a bleak situation in the county.

An iron shield that can smash people and protect against arrows. In fact, it is both offensive and defensive war equipment, which can be seen from the fact that there must be an army of swords and shields in every battle.

But is the Iron Shield really useful for a boulder as powerful as a catapult?

If you casually pull a salt soldier in Buqi County, ask.

He will tell you plainly: it's useless. It's uselessWhen a boulder flies in front of your eyes at great speed, you'd better think about your loved ones in this brief moment. As for the last words, there is no need for it, because there is no such time!

If you are hit in the head by a stone bullet, then needless to say, your own Tongze sighed and carried you to bury, but you don't have to hope that your relatives will be able to identify you.

If you are hit in the body, the pain like a slash in the waist and a crack in a car will make you feel that life is worse than death.

However, even so, the sergeants of the Yan Army had to patrol the city every day to prevent Xu Rong's army from taking advantage of the situation to attack the city.

There was a saying in later generations that one's own happiness was often based on the suffering of others.

When the soldiers of the new army under Xu Rong happily carried the huge boulders like a millstone, how could they understand the fear of the sergeants of the salt army for these boulders?

When the soldier of the Salt Army was talking to a fellow Ze about the queen. Suddenly, after a long howl sounded in the air, you suddenly saw that the body of Tong Ze in front of you was missing half of it. Slowly collapsed with blood all over his body

This kind of scene, which can only be seen in horror movies in later generations, happened in the life of the salt army, how could the salt army not be afraid?

The Salt Army is an army of faith, and although this belief is motivated by resentment against the imperial court, it is not an idle rebel army.

In the battle outside the county, what kind of disadvantage is the salt army in? However, it still allowed support until Liu Ju gave the order to retreat.

But now among the salt army in Buqi County, there are deserters, not just one, two, three, but dozens of people, dozens of people fleeing in formation.

However, they were not able to get out of the county, and they were completely devoid of breath, and were killed not by the boulders of the catapults, but by the overseers of the Salt Army.

The Salt Army's Warlords were originally a very easy class, because the Salt Army of faith would not easily escape, but now they have become the busiest profession.

In the past five days, there were as many as 1,000 soldiers in the salt army who wanted to escape, and the supervising team was very busy.

"General"

In the county office, the deputy general of the salt army frowned and said anxiously: "The brothers are really about to be unable to support it!" Morale is unprecedentedly low! General, if I wait like this, I'm afraid it will lead to a mutiny! ”

"Enough!" The commander of the Yan Army angrily stopped the adjutant general's words, paced back and forth in the county hall for a few steps, and said angrily, "General Ben also knows the importance of this matter, but let General Ben think of a way, what can General Ben do?" ”

"Destroy those catapults? Nar first destroyed the 10,000 cavalry outside the city to General Ben. ”

When the adjutant general heard this, he immediately bowed his head and was silent, that's right, there are 15,000 cavalry here, and the tens of thousands of troops in his county dare not move, after all, it is not only the 15,000 cavalry outside his county, but also Xu Rong's 40,000 new army.

"There is no way back!" Suddenly, the commander of the salt army sighed, and said with a melancholy face, "Now that Xu Rong has this sharp weapon, plus the ten thousand five cavalry, it is useless for us to hold on, and the delay strategy given by the king is ineffective, and I don't know how to deal with it, originally the general wanted to lead Xu Rong to attack, and then led the water army to attack its flank, even if there are ten thousand five cavalry, we can also defeat its army, but Xu Rong is not attacking at all and only uses such despicable means, which is bad for our morale." From now on, we will all be defeated, why don't we let Xu Rong come and take the head of this general! ”

"The general can be so discouraged, the king is trapped in Changguang, but he does not put any pressure on the general, and orders the general to defeat Xu Rong, doesn't he believe in the general's ability? The general said this at this time, wouldn't he live up to the king's expectations. ”

The adjutant general looked at the gloomy face of the commander of the salt army, hesitated for a moment and said, "General, if the general does not give up, the general will have a plan, and may solve this dilemma." ”

The commander of the salt army was overjoyed and said, "What is your plan, come quickly!" ”

The lieutenant shook his head and said, "This is not a good strategy, but a good strategy for gecko to cut off its tail!" ”

The commander of the salt army said anxiously, "What kind of good plan is there at this time, good policy." If we don't react, the morale of the army will really be scattered! ”

When the adjutant general heard this, he arched his hand and said, "General, now in this county, there are 50,000 troops of our salt army, of which 20,000 are naval troops, and they have never been stationed in the county. The strategy of the last general was to use these 20,000 sailors to attack Xu Rong's camp and transfer the cavalry outside the city. Immediately, our army fought on both sides, in order to defeat Xu Rong's army in one fell swoop. ”

When the commander of the county heard this, he was furious and said: "It's nonsense, you can know that even if our army wins, the 20,000 sailors are afraid that there are less than 1,000 people who can fight." Where did the food for our army come from at that time? ”

Hearing this, the adjutant general hurriedly said, "General, this is the only chance for me to wait!" Even if we only have 10,000 people left, we can contain tens of thousands of imperial court troops and buy time for the king to gather troops and horses in the rear! ”

Immediately, the adjutant general saw that the commander of the salt army was still hesitating, so he said loudly, "General, since ancient times, Ci is not in charge of the army. In exchange for 20,000 naval troops, we defeated the imperial army and gained a foothold in Donglai, which is worth it. General, don't let down the king's trust in you! ”

No, the coach said loudly with a hideous face: "Beat the drums and gather the generals." ”

"Knock Knock"

After the three drums, the generals of the salt army in the county all came to the county hall.

The county commander knelt on the throne and ordered, "Summoning the water army, burying the pot to cook in the Ming Dynasty, and setting off to insert Xu Rongzhong's army at the end of the day." Not the army in the county, Ming said that Yin buried the pot at three o'clock to make rice, and more than half of the time counterattacked Xu Rong's army. ”

After saying this, the county commander sat down on the ground, and the generals in the hall seemed to have not seen anything at all, and they all walked out of the hall with solemn faces.

They all knew that Ming said that it would be a vicious battle, with 50,000 troops against the 40,000 new troops of the upper court and 15,000 cavalry of the Northern Army, there were more defeats and fewer victories, and even if they were victorious, they didn't know how many people would survive.

The deputy general of the salt army sighed slightly when he saw this, he knew that his commander was not for his own orders, which caused 20,000 good men to die and felt guilty, but it was an eternal iron law that Ci was not in charge of the army.

ps: Well, I don't know what's going on, it's very bad, that's not writing is getting worse and worse? Really want to know. Well, there are three more chapters, and the Donglai counterinsurgency is over.

Here, I don't hope that book friends can actively guess, but in the battle, what is the important weight of Xu Rong's victory?

Well, the reward! It's a book review refinement and a book review reward.
