He used to just think that Chen He was a useful person who had the courage to do things, so he let it go and appointed him as the commander of the Dharma Protector Legion.

But he didn't want to, he was inadvertently appointed, and he actually discovered a great general's talent.

Chen He is not only good at training, but also has good leadership operations and city defense capabilities, and is simply an all-rounder who integrates attack and defense.

With the current way of playing, Pang Shiyuan estimated that Meng Yuan's army would not last long.

And once the Mengyuan army can't hold on, then their wave of battle plans will be like a complete bankruptcy. This will be a huge blow to the morale of the Mengyuan army.

One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.

Pang Shiyuan was sure that such a desperate and frantic attack, even if it was the army of Meng Yuan, would not be able to launch it a few times—maybe only three times at most.

And if Shixian County can't be taken three times, the Mengyuan army is afraid that the seeds of inability to win will be planted psychologically.

At that point, the Protectors will be fully capable of taking advantage of their exhaustion and launching a counterattack, and perhaps a one-hit victory may not be known.

Thinking of this, Pang Shiyuan began to smile.

When Pang Shiyuan smiled, Mandu Latu's face was extremely grim.

He had expected that the battle would not go well, and this was also due to his intention, but the losses were so large that the battle loss ratio was almost 5:1, which still made him underestimate.

"General, can you hold off on the attack? Shixian had already prepared, and we attacked in such a hurry, and the casualties were too great. Erlang, some can't stand it. A commander of the Mengyuan Han army looked at Erlang's heavy casualties and couldn't help but ask.

This time, it was the Mengyuan Han army that attacked Shixian County. And his men are among them. Now that nearly a quarter of them have been killed or wounded, how can he, who regards the army as the root of his life, not feel heartache?

There is no army. He's a fart as a commander of the Han Army!

"Nope." Mandu Ratu rejected him directly without the slightest room for negotiation, "It is precisely because Shixian is prepared that we must take it in one go." Once the people in Shixian are used to the war, we will have no chance. ”

"But ......"

"Nothing!" Mandu Ratu interrupted him unceremoniously, his expression was extremely cold, "I can't take Shixian now, it's not that there is a problem with tactics." It's that the strength of the attack is not enough. ”

The surrounding generals all widened their eyes when they heard Mandu Ratu's words.

From the beginning of the campaign, many generals felt that this counterinsurgency was a little different from the past.

It is rumored that Mandu Rathu has always acted vigorously and resolutely. The march dragged on and the army was bandits, slaughtering villages everywhere and building altars.

Bandits. They are not against it.

After all, it doesn't matter how many things your subordinates have robbed. They must have a share - or a large portion. Moreover, the Mengyuan army went out to fight, burning and looting along the road, which was a common thing, and it was not worth making a fuss about.

Altars can be built everywhere and sacrificed to people, and while they are inexplicable, they also feel that it is a bit excessive. Although burning, killing and looting was the "duty" of the Mengyuan army, the massacre was different. And the corpse is trampled. It also makes people's souls unpeaceful after death, and not everyone can agree with it.

The Mengyuan generals here. Many of them had been temporarily transferred to Manduratu for the purpose of counterinsurgency, and it was not clear what Manduratu was doing - and Amr was dead.

In particular, some of the generals of the Mengyuan and Han armies had different customs from the Mongols, and they also had a lot of local interests. This indiscriminate massacre has made it a little difficult for them to handle.

However, the military law of the Mongol Yuan was strict, and Mandu Latu, as the main general, had absolute power to decide the movement of the army in wartime, and they could not beak it.

In addition, they also received a lot of benefits from slaughter and sacrifice, so they acquiesced.

Originally, things were just so perfunctory, anyway, for these generals, people in this world are always unkillable. When these people die, it is natural that someone else will fill the vacancy. It's just a little bit of trouble.

But after Pang Shiyuan, the Teaching Corps, and the Protector Army appeared, things began to be different, and they all suffered some losses to a greater or lesser extent.

And the previous encirclement and suppression battle caused many people heavy losses. This made them have some complaints.

But when I think of the heaviest losses, it is Mandu Latu. Mandu Latu's cronies and junior disciples died directly in battle with the strongest Tanma Red Army, which was simply a broken arm of Mandu Latu.

As a result, it is difficult for them to mention their losses. But the dissatisfaction in their hearts is already accumulating.

And then Pang Shiyuan and the teaching group were entangled for two consecutive days, which made them deeply understand the strength of the rebels. also let them know that it is not possible not to work hard this time.

When an army goes out, it's like a wild horse taking off the reins, and something will always happen that is not within the rules. Shangguan generally turns a blind eye. But there is a big premise for this, that is, the war must be won.

But after understanding the combat power of the Protector Army, the generals knew that the battle would never be won smoothly. If one is not good, they may even lose Maicheng.

Therefore, when Mandu Ratu said that he would attack the city with all his might, they really did it with all their might.

They did not hesitate to use the troops in their hands, and also sent the elite in their hands. But that's it, Mandu Ratu actually said that the attack strength was not enough, so how can it be considered enough?

A commander of the Han army opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

However, before he could say anything, he was directly interrupted by Mandu Latu.

Mandu Ratu's voice was full of evil spirits, and it was cold and unusually hard: "I order, all centurions and officers below the centurion must personally lead the army into battle. All commanders must also be on the front line. If necessary, also be ready to go to the city to fight? ”

Hearing Mandu Latu's order, all the generals were stunned, almost wondering if they had heard it wrong, or if Mandu Latu had lost his mind.

But when he looked at Mandu Ratu's completely unquestionable grim face, and at the almost identical stunned expressions of the others, they knew that they had heard correctly.

That is to say, they are really going to fight on the front line.

The Mengyuan court is corrupting and degenerating.

The Mengyuan army is also corrupting and degenerating.

Although the Mengyuan army still retains good combat power by virtue of its old foundation, the wind of corruption and degeneration has spread among the generals.

Now it is almost impossible to find Commander Meng Yuan, who is still the first to charge ahead.

Even a centurion wouldn't risk his life easily.

Therefore, these generals, who have risen to the high position of commanders, are not to say that they are pampered, but they cannot be seen on the front line in a war like siege warfare, which is extremely risky and difficult to say. (To be continued.) )
