Chapter 11 Cannon Fodder Singles
Hundreds of years later, Han Shizhong once said angrily:
"How can the word 'unnecessary' serve the world!"
I don't know if this sentence will become impossible because of Li Chen's crossing. But the spirit contained in it is necessary in every era, that is, to do things reasonably. Regardless of the context, these words will be demanded in different forms. Although Wu Shaoyang's anger was actually saved by Wu Shaoyang's anger, Shenzhou's confidence in Wu Shaoyang had been shaken the moment he gave the order.
So when Wu Shaoyang realized the vacillation in the eyes of the soldiers, he added another sentence:
"Everyone, don't forget the letter that was seized from Han Quanyi in the seventeenth year of Zhenyuan."
That batch of letters was the driving force behind the defeat of the official army in Huaixi. In October of the seventeenth year of Zhenyuan, Wu Shaocheng defeated Han Quanyi in Lishui, and that night Han Quanyi was demoralized, attacked the camp at night, broke Han Quanyi, and seized a batch of letters in Han Quanyi's account. Wu Shaocheng took the letters and said to the Huaixi generals who had many illiterate people in them:
These letters were found in Han Quanyi's account. It was written to Han Quanyi by the bigwigs of the DPRK and China, and the letter said that after pacifying my Huaixi, let Han Quanyi send whoever's wives and concubines and who's daughters to these bigwigs' mansions in Chang'an to be concubines. ”
There was not a word of incitement, but the officers and men of the Huaixi Army were indeed emotional, and from then on, seeing the officers and soldiers was like eating **, and the more they believed in the sword in their hands. More than ten years have passed, and it is still the same, as long as you think of these letters, the Huaixi army will be churning with monstrous war intent. This time was no exception, and although there had been recent rumors that the letters had been forged by Wu Shaocheng -- the work of the Statistics Department, of course -- the soldiers in Huaixi still aimed their arrows at the officers and soldiers under the city.
"Whoaa!"
The spitting Koti Mizhu returned to Yan Qin with a disgraced face. Today's third assault failed again. Above and below the city walls, on both sides of the moat, there were still bleeding corpses everywhere, as well as rockets that had not been extinguished, burning ladders, and siege vehicles.
Taking advantage of the rest, the indoctrination army began to shout under the city again, and of course it was a cold arrow to respond to him as usual.
Wei Wu sent someone to report that Wu Yuanji had not been intercepted, which couldn't help but make Yan Qin a little disappointed. Thinking that there would not be many people left around Wu Yuanji, he ordered Wei Wu to leave a part of his troops and horses to intercept and lead a large team to encircle Shenzhou.
Although Shenzhou is stubborn, there are not many soldiers and horses left with the 3,000 people last night. The main force of 50,000 people in Huaixi has been concentrated in Lishui, and there are less than 5,000 soldiers against Xue Ping in the direction of Guangzhou, and there are about 6,000 people in each fence on the western front, except for thousands of soldiers in Caizhou City, the rest are concentrated in Shenzhou, plus those who are assigned to each fence, there were originally only more than 5,000 soldiers in Shenzhou City, and now there are 3,000 soldiers in the first battle, how can the troops be?
So early in the morning, more and more people in Shenzhou were caught up in the city. Their task was to stand in front of the Huaixi Army and stop the attack of the officers and troops with rolling stones and wood. Of course, the Huaixi Army also meant that the people of Shenzhou would consume the weapons reserves of the officers and soldiers by the way, and also save some rations for the defenders of Shenzhou. Of course, these meanings were not spoken, but both the soldiers and the common people understood them. There is a special word to describe their identity, "cannon fodder".
Therefore, many soldiers or officers who were in the city were angry. Originally, the families of officers and soldiers were not included in the levy and dispatch to the city, but when the old father of a soldier was still driven to the city by mistake while begging for help, and after going to the city, he happened to encounter an attack by the officers and soldiers, and the old man who did not want to die unprepared took advantage of the unpreparedness of the people, shouted and ran down, and was stabbed in the heart by the officer who caught him up. There were signs of civil strife in the defenders of Shenzhou.
The old man's escape almost led to the collapse of this section of the city wall, because there were many people who ran with him, and the angry guards hung the bodies of these chaotic people in front of the inner city gate after consulting Wu Shaoyang, and of course the old man who took the lead in escaping hung in the most conspicuous place, accused of "spies". The soldier who heard the news angrily approached the officer who had captured him and slaughtered the guy without saying a word. This guy is also bold, thinking that his father is dead anyway, and he will still be killed by Shangguan if he kills the officer, so he and his brothers, a total of ten people, actually plan to seize the city gate and present the city to the official army. In order to win each other's trust and cut off the way out, the ten people exchanged wives according to the customary - this is certainly not the depraved sex game of the so-called modern so-called civilized people, but the great production of Chen Kexin's "Vote for Names", these poor women, who are regarded as tools of private property and sex, are the names of men. After killing each other's wives and getting letters, the ten people who drank wine and burned two knives of paper went to find the officer, Shenzhou fart is bigger, and they are all in the army, who doesn't know who?
The result was that they almost succeeded, the creed of the Huaixi Army is that I am not a single, but I am not a human being when I am single. Even his wife can kill the person who makes a name for himself, what else dare not do, what can he do endlessly? Coupled with the fact that the sympathy of the soldiers was obviously in the soldiers, and the sympathy of the young and strong people was obviously in themselves, these ten people gained the support of the soldiers and the young men in this section after killing the guards who were said to be five or six ordinary people, and controlled dozens of battlements. The problem is that these ten people are all well-developed limbs and simple-minded people, and they have decided to kill people and have no choice of time, and this is the time for the officers and soldiers to rest and educate and give speeches in the army. The Huaixi army also took the opportunity to rest on the city tower and let the people carry down the bodies of their relatives, so these ten people could easily succeed.
The indoctrination army was holding an iron canister called a loudspeaker designed by the ordnance superintendent, shouting hoarsely from a safe distance. He said:
"Brothers of the Huaixi Army, please think about it. You are all good citizens who farm at home, but who made you unable to farm and have to become soldiers? ”
The castle returns:
"It's the imperial court! It's the Emperor! ”
Educate and join the army:
“••••••”
"No, how can it be the imperial court, our Emperor Majesty who loves the people, is tax-free every year, is wise and martial, wise and benevolent? Brothers, think about it, it's Wu Shaocheng, it's Wu Shaoyang! It was they who forced you, the originally good people, to put down your hoes and pick up your swords, and it was they who made you, who were originally officials and soldiers, become thieves! ”
The Huaixi army in the city whispered:
"What are good people?"
The officer's eyes widened:
"That's you."
"Oh!"

"I have heard that you are not allowed to talk to each other on the road during the day, and you are not allowed to serve wine and entertain guests at night at home, are you willing to live such a happy life without knowing people? Brothers, take up arms, kill the traitors who oppress you, and return to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty the Emperor of Benevolence believes in your loyal nature.
