Chapter 155 Dismantling the Enemy's Heart
"Thank you, sir, I'll do my best." More than a dozen men dressed in different shapes bowed to Jia Xu in unison, and then slowly turned their heads to look at the former companions under the city.
These more than a dozen people were the Montenegrin army who were captured in the First World War the day before yesterday, as well as those who were wounded in the battle and were treated. They all came to do the persuasion work according to Jia Xu's arrangement.
Under the gaze of Jia Xu and others, in front of the nearly 100,000 Montenegrin troops under the city, more than ten original Montenegrin army sergeants began to shout loudly.
"Hey, do you know me, my name is Li Gouyu, and I am a soldier under the original solid tent. The day before yesterday, I was unfortunately captured, but who would have thought that this would indeed be the beginning of a blessing. After I was caught, the officers and men did not embarrass me, but instead gave me new clothes and gave me land. Now that I'm an ordinary person, I don't have to live a life in the future..."
"My name is Li Da'er, I was originally a soldier under General Bai Huan, in the battle the day before yesterday, I was injured and fainted, I was already a dead man, but the officers and soldiers saved my life, gave me medical treatment, and gave me land, and I am not to blame for my previous affairs. Brothers, fellow villagers, come here, come to the officers and soldiers, they can guarantee our future life. ”
"My name is Sun Mugen, and I am also a prisoner of the First World War the day before yesterday, I..."
More than a dozen people, according to the lines taught by Jia Xu before, told the things they wanted to express one by one.
More than a dozen people took turns to speak, and the voice came down from a high place, and when it reached the camp of the Black Mountain Army, it immediately attracted a huge commotion one after another.
After more than ten people finished speaking, Jia Xu stood up and looked at the Black Mountain Army under the city and said: "Fellow villagers, brothers, I know that you all fell into the grass because of the war and the inaction of the government, in fact, none of you really want to be a bandit, you all cherish your lives." And now there is a great road to heaven before you, as long as you can put down your weapons now and throw them at us, you will receive the same land and food as those before the meeting, and build a new home and start a new life..."
"Don't listen to him, won't he be so kind? To deceive you is to kill you. Zhang Yan couldn't stand standing in the middle of the Chinese army. This method of instigating on the spot is really too bad, and if it is allowed to continue, how will this battle be fought.
Zhang Yan made a move, and Jia Xu laughed out loud instead when he stood on the city wall, "Zhang Yan, how do you know that what I said is false?" Why don't you dare let me go on? I'm afraid there's a ghost in my heart, right? I think you are also a man, so many people believe in you, hoping to live a good life with you. But if you look at what you have done, you will not talk about being an enemy of the government, knowing that our general is sympathetic to the people and sincere to the people under his rule, but you are still resisting, and even thinking about replacing it. Then let me ask you, even if you become the governor of the state, will you be able to let the people under your rule live a good life? Can you just make them carefree? ”
"I'm afraid I can't! If you can't do it, then you should get on the side and let the capable go on. But instead of doing this, you attacked Jinyang City while the general was going to crusade against the Huns, wanting to plunder the food and wealth here. Then let me ask you, is this still the work of a Han Chinese? As a Chinese, you are indeed helping the alien race to fight for the tiger at this time, what you do and what you do is still what a man should do? ”
"Even if it's not, then what's the face to stand here and talk about it? I feel blushing and ashamed for you. Jia Xu glared at Zhang Yan who was in the Chinese army, and rebuked with tears in his voice.
Zhang Yan wanted to interrupt Jia Xu's words, but he really didn't know what to say because he couldn't speak. Indeed, even if he captured Bingzhou, he was only happy for a while with his subordinates, and then he still had to retreat to the mountains and forests, and then he still lived by robbing.
This is Zhang Yan's principle of life. Supporting the army is to rob, as for what kind of national integrity, whether his subordinates are doing well, and what future there will be, he never thinks about it. Now all this has been pointed out by Jia Xu, he is standing there with a red face and a thick neck, although he is angry in his heart, he really doesn't know how to answer well.
These words were also heard by the nearly 100,000 Montenegrin troops below, coupled with the letter of persuasion last night, as well as the corroborative words of those who were still their companions the day before yesterday on the city tower, and there were soon riots in the army.
Zhang Yan, who was in the Chinese army, felt the change in the morale of the army, and was shocked and made the right choice, that is, to stop the attack, retreat three miles, and re-entrench the village.
With the momentum of the current team, it is impossible to attack the city, and if you don't get a bad one, it will lead to mutiny. Zhang Yan, as the leader of the Black Mountain Army, also has some brains, and he decided to settle the internal disputes first before deciding whether to attack Jinyang City.
Zhang Yan's wise decision made Jia Xu's prepared on-the-spot mutiny of the Montenegrin Army come to naught. It's just that he is not discouraged, he believes that this seed that follows Zhang Chao has been buried, as long as the time is right, it will still ferment, and when it comes, it will be unstoppable.
Because of Jia Xu's policy of attacking the enemy, Zhang Yan's army was forced to retreat outside the city, and the two sides formed a confrontation. The crisis in Jinyang City has been resolved for the most part. After Zhang Chao, who was on the front line heading towards Yin Pavilion City, learned the news, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Even though Jinyang City was tall and sturdy, he wasn't too worried about someone being able to break into it. But before there is no definite news, he must have hung his heart in the air, after all, there are his relatives there, if something really happens, even if he wins the world, who will he share it with?
And after knowing that Jia Xu and the others had retreated from the enemy, he put all his body and mind on how to take Yanmen County.
...... ......
Lu Bu's subordinates had been in front of the dirt slope for five days.
On the other side, Attila, Ada, and Liu Zaibu also confronted each other for five days.
For five days, neither side had any intention of attacking, as if they were waiting for something.
Lu Bu's original intention was to wait for three days, and if the enemy on the opposite side did not rush over, he would have rushed back, and would rather lose some soldiers and horses than destroy these enemy troops first. But on the third day, I received a letter from the Flying Eagle of the members of the Sky Eye.
Black Hawk Messenger is not normally used. It will only be used when the situation is particularly urgent. But now that I see that the Eagle Envoy of the Vanguard Army has received a message from Black Hawk, it proves that something big is about to happen.
After the eagle envoy got the letter, he didn't dare to stay for a moment and delivered it to Lu Bu's hands. Lu Fengxian also saw Zhang Chao's handwritten letter for the first time.
There is quite a bit of content on the letter. first praised the courage and results of Lu Bu's vanguard army to pursue and defeat the enemy, and also praised Hou Cheng for dissuading Lu Bu from entering the dense forest where the enemy was ambushed, and finally said that he hoped that Lu Bu's troops could focus on luring the enemy and luring more reinforcements from the city out of the city as much as possible. At that time, General Zhang Chao personally led the army to capture the Yin Pavilion from the flank, and when the time came, he defeated the enemy army in a two-sided attack.
Zhang Chao's letter gave Lu Bu's troops a general direction in their actions. Lü Bu himself forcibly suppressed the idea of a decisive battle with the enemy, and began to order his soldiers to build a defensive offensive, ready to be attacked from both sides.
On the sixth day, when Lü Buji was preparing to resist the enemy on the spot, a large number of Hun cavalry and Han troops under Zhang Quan appeared to the north of him.
"General, the enemy is finally here." Hou Cheng, who followed, saw a large number of cavalry and local infantry in Yanmen County appearing in many places, and said with a look of eagerness.
"Yes, it's finally here, and the time to test our vanguard has come. Tell everyone, prepare for defense, wait for the enemy to get closer, shoot them with a bow and arrow first, and consume it. Lu Bu also looked fearless, and said with a strong fighting intent.
In the distance came the reinforcements sent by the Xiongnu. Among them, the leader is the son of the current Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo.
After receiving the letter of help sent by Ada, the prince began to dispatch troops to Beibei, and forced Zhang Quan, the guard of Yanmen County, to gather all the infantry in the counties under his command, and gathered a full number of 10,000, plus 10,000 Hun cavalry he transferred from nearby, a total of 20,000 people came towards the Lu Bu army.
This time I was full of confidence. He had already reported the matter to his father before he left. He also knew that after reading the letter, his father would definitely send reinforcements to come, but what he needed to do was to eliminate this cavalry under Zhang Chao before his father's reinforcements arrived.
After Qubei came to the rear of Lü Bu with a large army, a scout had already reported the fact that the enemy army was in front.
"Very well, prepare to attack immediately. Oh, by the way, I heard that this group of cavalry has good archery skills, and the infantry of the Han army will be arranged to block in front of them. Qubei said very selfishly.
In the eyes of the humble, the Hun cavalry are all treasures, on the contrary, the Han army is a pawn that can be sacrificed at any time.
After the order to go to Bei was issued, the attack lineup with 10,000 infantry in front and 10,000 Hun cavalry in the rear quickly unfolded, slowly approaching the slope where Lu Bu was located.
On the other hand, Ada's department also learned from the scouts about the coming of reinforcements, and immediately Ada, Attila, and Liu Zai were greatly confident, and immediately gathered their troops and prepared to cooperate with the prince to attack Lu Bu.
The front and rear armies, totaling more than 30,000 people, surrounded the vanguard army of Lu Bu's department in the dirt slope.
8,000 against 30,000, and among them there were more than 10,000 Hun cavalry. The vanguard army, under the leadership of the main general Lu Bu, did not show a trace of fear, on the contrary, one by one they still won the battle.
