Chapter 258: Boost morale

Everyone looked at Yao Saifeng, using 20,000 people to fight against Gu Du's 50,000 people? Is it a hangover or a madness?

But everyone didn't speak, because everyone felt that Yao Saifeng was abnormal, an abnormal Great Soul Master, more terrifying than an evil ghost.

Meng Yuan frowned, others don't speak, he has to speak, after all, he is the boss, and Yao Saifeng is the emperor's hand-appointed supervisor, in case something goes wrong, he can't explain it to the emperor.

Meng Yuan said: "Lord Yao, is it too dangerous for 20,000 people to attack the city?" ”

Yao Saifeng replied: "Don't worry, don't worry, won't I run if I can't beat me?" ”

Meng Yuan frowned, you ran away, what should you do with the 20,000 soldiers? Is the co-authorship a gift for Gu Du?

Yao Saifeng said with a smile: "Don't worry, Dashuai." ”

Meng Yuan nodded silently, there is no way to worry about it, no one dares to fight, but this battle has to be fought, maybe Yao Saifeng just wants to use a few people to arouse the fighting spirit of the whole army, right?

On the school ground, Yao Saifeng's voice was shrill and shriek: "You all listen to me!" Gu Du is also a person of flesh and blood, who will get sick and die, he is not a god, if he dares to attack the city alone, he doesn't need so many of you, three or five hundred ordinary soldiers can cut him into pulp! ”

"Don't think how powerful the Great Soul Master is, I'm also a Great Soul Master, you definitely can't fight alone, but you are an army, there are many of you, just think about it, a large group of rats can bite a person stronger than a cow to death!"

"Today you follow me to attack the city, I don't exchange your lives for my own military exploits, I tell you the truth, I am not an official of the imperial court, I am here to help the emperor fight, why? Because you're so useless! It's a shame! So many of you were driven out of Lingyi County by 50,000 people from Gu Du, do you still want to be embarrassed? ”

Yao Saifeng scolded repeatedly, and all the generals felt the anger of the soldiers rising.

Yao Saifeng said again: "You all listen to me!" Today I am your commander, you will do whatever I ask you to do, otherwise don't blame me for your death! Did you hear me? ”

"Roar!" 20,000 people agreed in unison.

Yao Saifeng shuddered and said, "Mom, scare me, let's go." ”

Ten miles away from Lingyi County, seeing Zeguo's sentry, Yao Saifeng screamed: "Beat him down for me!" ”

Several gunshots rang out, the sentry ran away, and Yao Saifeng scolded: "Blind? Can't even fight this? How do you get the food in your mouth every time you eat? Rubbish! Forget it when you pee yourself! ”

The general said: "My lord, do you know, although the musket hits far, but the accuracy is far inferior to the bow and crossbow, the advantage of the musket is that when the enemy charges, you can shoot a salvo first, in fact, it is the same as the bow and crossbow shooting indiscriminately, who is counted, this kind of single person is difficult to fight." ”

"Oh?" Yao Saifeng nodded thoughtfully.

Gu Du received the report and climbed to the head of the city, and after a while, he saw that the spirit army had arrived at a hundred zhang away, and there was a big Meng character on the big army in the army.

Gu Du frowned, could it be that Meng Yuan is here? Use Meng Yuan to replace Chu Qin? The Spirit Emperor lost his mind and went crazy?

The spirit army was arrayed, with twenty artillery pieces staggered in the center and four rows of muskets on either side, and the entire front formation was in an arc.

Gu Du squinted for a moment, his heart sank suddenly, the center of the arc was the city gate, and the muskets were no longer fired directly, but cross-fired, if this was a charge, the biggest attack would no longer be the front, but the two wings.

Moreover, in terms of the power of the musket, the entire charging team will be exposed to the attack range, plus the frontal artillery, the iron shield can block the bullets, but it can never block the shells.

Is the coach on the opposite side really Meng Yuan?

One person and one rider slowly walked to the front of the formation, Gu Du couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, but judging from his figure, it was not Meng Yuan.

A shrill voice came: "Who is Gu Du?" Come out and let me see! ”

Gu Du frowned, who is this person? In his impression, no one's voice is like this, and if he can speak like this in front of the formation, his identity must not be low, how could Gu Du not know?

Yao Saifeng waited for a moment, and then shouted, "Gu Du! Don't you know how to fight? Come out! ”

Gu Du frowned and was silent, this kind of formation, he definitely won't go out, he hasn't come up with a way to deal with it, and he can't let the soldiers fill in their lives.

Yao Saifeng pointed to the head of the city and said to Lingjun: "Look! Gu Du didn't dare to come out! ”

The spirit army cheered in unison, and a partial general beside Gu Du clasped his fists and said, "Handsome!" The last general is going to fight! ”

Gu Du shook his head and said, "Don't be vindictive in battle, this formation is not good for us, don't rush into battle." ”

Yao Saifeng waited for another moment, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Gu Du doesn't dare to come out, then let's move forward!" ”

The spirit army moved forward in unison with the muskets, and came to a halt at eighty feet.

Gu Du commanded loudly: "Prepare for war!" Watch out for cannonballs! ”

Yao Saifeng laughed loudly and shouted, "Gu Du! I heard you talking, wait, it's coming, fire! ”

Twenty cannons were fired in front and back, all of which were fired at the city gate, and after only two rounds, the city gate was shattered, and the soldiers behind the gate suffered heavy casualties.

Gu Du frowned, and a soldier ran up to the city to report: "Handsome! The gates are broken! ”

Gu Du ordered: "Lie on both sides of the city gate and wait for the enemy to move." ”

The artillery stopped firing, and Yao Saifeng shouted: "Gu Du! Thy gates are broken, and ye will not come out? ”

Gu Du shouted: "You have great ability!" You come in! ”

Yao Saifeng laughed loudly and shouted to Lingjun: "Look! The city gates were all broken, but Gu Du still didn't dare to come out! ”

"Oh......" Lingjun laughed.

Yun Jincai's face turned pale with anger, her hand held the hilt of the sword creaking, Gu Du looked at her sideways, and said, "Don't be angry with yourself, shouldn't you have no desires?" ”

Yun Jincai closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing deeply.

Yao Saifeng shouted again: "Gu Du! I don't dare to go in, I'm not like you, I've been fighting for many years, I'm well versed in the art of war, if you don't come out, then I'll leave! ”

Gu Du stared at the spirit army, and saw that the spirit army maintained a formation and slowly retreated, until it withdrew more than three miles, and then the rear army changed to the front army and quickly withdrew.

Gu Du asked, "Which of you knows this person?" ”

No one answered, Gu Du said, "Use a big stone to block the door." ”

Deputy General Cao Xiaolin said: "Dashuai, then we won't be able to get out." ”

Gu Du said: "Don't be in a hurry to go out, wait to see what tricks they have." ”

Gu Du felt that this time the spirit army was here to raise its prestige, in order to revive morale, the next time it might be the whole army attacking the city, if the city gate was not blocked, the spirit army would be able to rush into the city smoothly.

50,000 against 180,000, even if the Ze army is brave and good at fighting, there is no chance of victory.

Adjutant General Zhao Zhen asked, "Marshal, do you want to transfer troops?" ”

Gu Du shook his head and replied: "No, pass the order, and be ready to abandon the city at any time." ”
