Chapter 42: Who's the Boss?

Yang He and the others arrived at the city gate, but before they could open their mouths to call the door, they suddenly saw the city gate suspension bridge slowly lowered. After a while, a crack opened in the gate, and through the crack came a man ran out, and as soon as the man came out, the gate was quickly closed again.

The man crossed the suspension bridge and ran quickly to Yang He and the others, and said with great joy: "Shenrong, Brother Yang, it's really you, you're back!" ”

Yang He fixed his eyes, but it was Sun Defu.

After Sun Defu greeted everyone, his eyes searched the crowd, and after half a sound, he said: "Shen Rong, Brother Yang, handsome." ”

Yang He's heart was sour when he heard this, and he gently patted Sun Defu's shoulder and said, "Brother Sun, the handsome man is gone." ”

"What! Deceased? When I left, Da Shuai was still fine, how did Da Shuai die? Sun Defu exclaimed.

Yang He told Luo Zheng about what happened after the break.

When Sun Defu heard this, he suddenly fell to the ground, cried loudly, and said that he was sorry for the marshal and did not accompany him to the national disaster.

After crying for a while, Sun Defu suddenly jumped up, grabbed Yang He's placket, slapped Yang He with his backhand, gritted his teeth and said: "It's vain that the handsome man is very important to you, but you can't keep the handsome well, are you worthy of the handsome?" Dashuai is dead, what are you doing when you come back? ”

Seeing this, Heiyunhe shouted, "Sun Defu, what are you going to do?" Don't let go of Mr. Yang Qian! ”

Sun Defu glared at Heiyun He, and after a while, he finally let go of Yang He.

Hei Yunhe stared at Sun Defu and said, "Sun Defu, don't you know what the state of the handsome man's body is?" The last two days of Da Shuai actually relied on one breath to support, and Da Shuai knew that he couldn't live, so he left it to his brothers. ”

Suddenly, Heiyunhe raised his voice and said, "Not only the big handsome, but those brothers who were seriously injured and couldn't move all stayed in Guangning City. Da Shuai and so many brothers died in Guangning City, do you think Yang Qian feels good! But Yang Qian still wants to come back, because he still wants to avenge the handsome and his brothers! ”

As soon as Hei Yunhe's voice fell, Li Maochun continued: "Sun Defu, how did the handsome explain to you when he asked you to come back?" How dare you treat Mr. Yang Qian like this! ”

Sun Defu muttered: "Dashuai asked me to listen to Yang ...... in the future Mr. Yang Qian's order made me treat Mr. Yang Qian like a handsome man in the future. ”

"Then how dare you be rude to Mr. Yang Qian, and you still don't apologize to Mr. Yang Qian!" Black Cloud Crane shouted.

Yang He waved his hand: "Forget it, Brother Sun died of a sad handsome man, and he lost his square inch for a while, how can I blame Brother Sun?" ”

Hei Yunhe shook his head, stared at Sun Defu Senran and said, "Sun Defu, don't you know how to do it?" ”

When Sun Defu heard this, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Yang He and said: "Lord Qian, you are rude, this claw of the lowly position hit the Lord Qianzong, and the lowly position will cut off this claw to apologize to Lord Qianzong." ”

Yang He stretched out his hand and pulled Sun Defu up: "Brother Sun, I said it a long time ago, we are our own brothers, you are the eldest brother, what is the point of slapping a brother?" As for you going to cut off your own hands, if you don't have hands, how will you avenge the commander in the future? If you don't want to avenge the big handsome, then cut off your own hands and go home to farm. ”

"Mr. Qian!" Sun Defu exclaimed.

Yang He smiled and said, "Okay, you don't want us to stand outside the city, do you?" We've been walking all day, and we haven't eaten yet. ”

Gently patting Sun Defu on the shoulder, Yang He continued: "Don't think about it, let's go." ”

……

In the past half a month, the defenders of Shanhaiguan have let countless soldiers enter the pass, and these people, without exception, are panicked like lost dogs, and when they arrive at the city, they begin to shout and scream, so that the defenders can quickly open the city gate.

But the soldiers of this army in front of him are completely different from the soldiers who have advanced to the pass.

The soldiers of this army are all dressed in rags, which is inferior to the name Hanako, and the formation of this army is very messy, obviously there is no military discipline.

But when the soldiers reached the moat, they stopped, and not one of them opened their mouths, and none of them left their troops and ran to the bottom of the city.

It was a little strange to see such a force.

The army led by Yang He really has no military discipline at all, half of these people are deserters from Quang Ninh City, how can those who are deserters keep military discipline?

But not abiding by military discipline does not mean that they do not obey orders.

It is not easy for an army to get soldiers to really obey orders, and many troops follow orders when they are training. But when it comes to the battlefield, especially when it comes to life and death, the orders of many generals are not easy to use. The generals had no choice but to take the lead, but once the generals were killed, the troops would be immediately defeated.

This is not the case with this unit, many of the soldiers in this unit are temporary deserters, not the original subordinates of Hei Yunhe and others, and they have not trained together before the war, and Hei Yunhe and other generals do not have much deterrent power against these soldiers.

If it weren't for the fact that the families of these soldiers were still in the city when the siege was built, these people would have run away a long time ago. To put it bluntly, these people were forced to fight to the death.

Hei Yunhe and the others also knew the details of these soldiers, and even knew that these people did not have much actual combat experience, so before the war, Hei Yunhe and others repeatedly warned these soldiers who did not have much actual combat experience and asked them to beware of the enemy's archers.

For example, when shooting, experienced veterans know that they should shoot quickly, and after shooting, they should retreat to a safe place to reload their ammunition, because standing by the city wall will be shot by enemy archers.

But when it was time to fight, these soldiers forgot the warnings of Heiyunhe and others, and after firing their guns, they stood by the wall and loaded their ammunition.

The result was very disastrous, and most of the disobedient soldiers died under the arrows of Jianyu.

However, this kind of bloody battle is the best way to train the soldiers, and seeing countless comrades-in-arms die under the arrows of Jianyu, the recruits finally remembered the general's admonition and began to fight according to the general's requirements. In other words, these people learned to follow the orders of their generals only in battle.

A soldier who learns to obey orders in battle is far more reliable than a soldier who trains obedient soldiers in peacetime, and a general who can make soldiers obey orders in wartime naturally has prestige.

Hei Yunhe, Zhang Mingxian and Li Maochun now have extremely high prestige in the hearts of soldiers. And when the soldiers learned that the tactics that caused huge casualties to Jianyu were formulated by Yang He, Yang He's prestige was naturally higher.

At this time, Yang He basically had the command of this force.

It was also at this time that Yang He began to brew full control of this force

Yang He knew very well that the hands of fake Heiyunhe and others mastering the troops were two different things from mastering the troops themselves.

Orders can be given by Black Cloud Crane and others, but the soldiers must be let know who is the one who gives the order.

To put it bluntly, you have to let the soldiers know who is the boss of this army.

Whether or not it can reflect the authority of the boss depends on whether the boss can do the order and prohibit.

And whether Yang He can do the order and prohibit it depends on whether Hei Yunhe and others are worthy of cooperation.

Yang He knew very well that his position was very low, and Hei Yunhe was the supreme general of this army, so he had to take care of Hei Yunhe's face, and he couldn't give orders in front of Hei Yunhe.

So Yang He did it very secretly, and at the beginning, Yang He conveyed his orders through his own actions.

The first time Yang He conveyed an order through his own actions was at Luyang Fort.

Luyang Fort is about seventy miles away from Quang Ninh City, and it was not yet dawn when everyone ran here.

After running here, many soldiers felt a little tired, and they thought that it was impossible for Jianyu to attack the city at night, and it was impossible to catch up at this time, so they shouted to rest, and even Heiyunhe and others thought that they could let the soldiers rest for a while.

However, Yang He didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard, and just continued to walk forward.

Seeing Yang He continue to move forward, Hei Yunhe and the others had no choice but to order the soldiers to move on.

The second time was at dawn, when Yang He asked Hei Yunhe to order the soldiers to stop and stand quietly in the direction of Quang Ninh City.

Then there was an explosion in Quang Ninh City, and then Yang He knelt down and kowtowed, and then Hei Yunhe led the soldiers to do the same.

The third time was in Dalinghe Fort, Hei Yunhe personally discussed with Yang He to let the soldiers enter the city to rest, and then Yang He agreed.

By this time, the soldiers had already understood that unless Yang He ordered them to stop, they could only continue walking, and they could only stop when they saw Yang He stop.

And when resting, even if there is a castle in front, if Yang He doesn't speak, no one can enter the city.

Yang He doesn't just convey orders through his own actions.

Yang He also used his position to influence soldiers.

For example, when marching, soldiers often talk while walking.

Yang He didn't say anything to stop him, but just walked next to the person who spoke and quietly looked at the soldier who spoke.

It's like when you're in class, a few students are talking, and then the teacher walks over and looks at the students, or when you go to work, a few employees are talking, and then the leader walks over and looks at the employees.

You can imagine how embarrassed the person who spoke at this time. At this point, even a fool knows to shut up.

After this happened a few times, the soldiers knew that Yang He did not like to talk while they were marching.

Then the soldiers suddenly found that there was no one to speak to when they were marching.

Even when the soldiers were chatting during the break, if they found Yang He's gaze, they would immediately shut up.

Along the way, Yang He used this way to tell the soldiers that without his permission, no one could talk casually, let alone act on their own.

So when they got to the bottom of the city, not a single soldier opened their mouths to shout, and not a single soldier ran down the city.

Seeing such a scattered but extremely well-behaved force, the defenders of the city felt very strange.

At this moment, the city keeper ordered the soldiers to lower the drawbridge, open the city gate, and then one man walked quickly down the wall and went out.

Everyone knows this person, this person's name is Sun Defu, he came back from outside the gate, and after he came back, he set up his subordinates and came here every day to wait.

These days, everyone is familiar with him, and they know that he is a subordinate of Luo Zhengyi, the deputy chief soldier of Xiping Fort, and according to Luo's usual order, he returned to Shanhaiguan with the wounded soldiers and civilians first.

At the same time, everyone learned that in order to buy time for the evacuation of the people and wounded soldiers, Luo Cheng led the remnants of Xiping Fort and the rout of Guangning City to resist the capture in Guangning City.
