Chapter 133: Brother and Sister Are Officially Hostile
The soldier was afraid that something would be revealed, so he pulled out the saber of a soldier beside him with one hand, slashed it at his neck, and killed himself.
Xie Shiyun and Shen Sijun glanced at each other, both understood the helplessness in each other's eyes, and instructed the subordinates, "The spy has been executed, please rest assured." ”
After the two dispersed the soldiers in the camp, they began to make a plan, wanting to fight a beautiful turnaround battle and avenge the sacrifice of their comrades.
Xie Shiyun's slender fingers swiped across the battle topographic map, and her fingers stopped somewhere. Fingertips tap on this place, and my heart thinks.
"Just do what you think, if nothing happens, you will succeed."
Shen Sijun looked at Xie Shiyun, who was looking down and thinking, knowing what she was thinking, and let her implement it with peace of mind.
……
The next day, the armies of both sides assembled, and as the trumpets sounded, the war began.
Nearly forty percent fewer soldiers are fighting today. The enemy did not take it to heart when they thought of their heavy casualties yesterday.
After a while, the enemy's morale increased greatly by relying on the numerical superiority, and the situation suddenly developed along the enemy's army, and Shen Sijun led his army to retreat one after another.
When his army entered the city, he signaled for his soldiers to wave their flags to provoke the enemy army, taunting them for being cowardly.
Most of the soldiers who participated in the battle were full of vigor and blood, how could they endure such a provocation, and they asked the general at home for their lives to level the city.
The enemy general didn't think too much, nodded in agreement, signaled the crossbowmen to take position, and fired thousands of arrows towards the city where Shen Sijun was.
Shen Sijun pretended to be weak, so that the enemy army believed it, and saw that as long as a few people shouted at the head of the city, they broke through the city, and Shen Sijun retreated to the rear with his soldiers.
Seeing this, Xie Yuan secretly let people preach in the army that Shen Sijun was unfavorable to lead the troops, abandoned the city and fled, and the army's heart was shaken.
Shen Sijun knew in his heart that it was Xie Yuan's ghost, so he didn't say anything, but he just spoke positively to appease and suppress these rumors.
"Shen will not do anything that endangers the country, if everyone can trust Shen and recognize me as a general, please listen to Shen's command!"
Shen Sijun was wearing armor and the cloak of a first-class general, and explained to the suspicious soldiers below.
After all, Shen Sijun has led them to gallop on the battlefield for many years, and these soldiers also understand Shen Sijun's character, and know that he is indeed dedicated to the country, and there is a reason for it, and they need to believe that Shen Sijun is.
Shen Sijun's words made the army's heart suddenly return, and the soldiers obeyed the general's arrangement, and entered the arranged place according to the command of Xie Shiyun and Shen Sijun.
The enemy army used tree stumps dozens of feet long to constantly pound the city gates. According to Shen Sijun's orders, this city gate is particularly strong and difficult to enter.
is also like this, so that the enemy soldiers who were originally suspicious were relieved, seeing Shen Sijun like this, it was expected that because he was afraid of defeat and retreat, he did not dare to go out to face the battle, so he retreated in the city.
The enemy soldiers were disgusted by Shen Sijun's behavior, and under the fierce impact one after another, they broke into the city.
When they came to the city, they found no one and feared an ambush, but they found that the gate had been blocked and they could not get out.
The enemy had no choice but to lead his troops forward.
No matter how cautious they were, they were soon lost in the city because they were not familiar with the inner terrain of the city and lacked an understanding of the boundaries of Da Chen.
The enemy's morale was already unstable, and they were a little afraid of the desolate scene in front of them.
Just as the enemy army was advancing on a wide and bright avenue, Shen Sijun's army in front stepped forward to stop it.
When the enemy saw someone, he began to feel a little relieved, only to hear the sound of uniform footsteps behind him, and his heart was tightly lifted.
The enemy general looked to the rear, it was Xie Shiyun and Xie Yuan who led the army to surround it, and it seemed that his line would be more auspicious.
"Despicable! He led us into the city! Have the ability to fight happily! ”
The adjutant general of the enemy army looked at a person who had something to say, he spat on the ground, and then looked at Shen Sijun with resentment and hatred.
"If I'm not mistaken, you raided us yesterday, isn't that despicable?"
Shen Sijun met the gaze of the enemy's adjutant general, and dismissed it without changing his face, making the deputy general's face already red and unable to get off the stage.
The deputy general knew that he had lost face just now, and his resentment towards Shen Sijun had another layer, so he raised the spear in his hand, grabbed the horse, and stabbed at Shen Sijun.
The move of the lieutenant general began the war between the two sides.
However, under the attack from these two sides, the enemy army was somewhat powerless. Even if you have a numerical advantage, you have to take into account the enemy's movements behind you every time you fight.
Soon, most of the enemy troops were killed and wounded, and the deputy general was still fighting with Shen Sijun, thinking of fighting to the death with Shen Sijun.
Half an hour later, the enemy suffered heavy losses, and in order to retain his own forces, he fought his way through Da Chen's army and fled in a hurry.
Shen Sijun wiped the blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth, and when he saw that the deputy general was fleeing, he wanted to go with the army and kill them without leaving a piece of armor to prevent future troubles.
Shen Sijun wanted to ride forward, but was stopped by Xie Shiyun.
Xie Shiyun, who was sitting on horseback, was wearing a military uniform, looking radiant and heroic.
"What are you doing to stop me? If you don't take advantage of the victory at this time, when will you wait? ”
Shen Sijun's eyes were already scarlet, and he thought of Vice General Li who died yesterday to save him, and the grief and resentment in his heart had already poured out.
Xie Shiyun looked at him with red eyes, thinking of the tragic death of Vice General Li yesterday and the death and injury of a cadre of soldiers, he felt the same way, and comforted Shen Sijun.
"I understand your grief. But you know, enough is enough. If your soldiers fail, aren't they all their lives? If they weren't barren, how could they go to war? ”
Xie Shiyun said sharply, and gave orders to the soldiers around him to stop the next pursuit.
"Wait, be clear."
Shen Sijun gradually calmed down, and the scarlet under his eyes had already returned to normal. Xie Shiyun was reflected in his calm eyes, and he listened to her next words.
"Don't you understand? The essence of this war is that the country lacks resources, the livelihood of the people is difficult to maintain, and the national strength is declining, so the war is started. If not, who would risk losing their lives to fight? Everyone wants to live, don't kill them all. ”
Xie Shiyun shook her head and sighed a few times, hiding a lot of helplessness.
When Shen Sijun saw her like this, he suddenly understood in his heart. He put away the sword he was holding tightly in his hand and put it in its scabbard.
He gave the order again and stopped the pursuit.
The soldiers on the side were originally hesitant to carry out the general's order, but after all, it was contrary to common sense. was hesitating, and when he heard Shen Sijun's order, he hurriedly went about it.
Shen Sijun wanted to lead the army away, but was stopped by Xie Shiyun.
Xie Shiyun raised her head and looked at Shen Sijun with her clear and bright eyes, "Now that you know the reason for summoning the country to start a war, please write a letter of resignation and tactics to let the two countries cease fighting." ”
Shen Sijun looked at Xie Shiyun's eyes, and there was a little firmness in her eyes that he saw.
