Chapter 602: Take Zhang Xun to make dumplings first

Now that Xuzhou and Qingzhou have become a meat grinder for war. Then there must be enough troops to play the role of minced meat. There is no doubt that Zhang Xun, the general of the Yuan Shu Department, who is desperately fleeing south, is the first piece of fat that the Jin troops are ready to eat.

Zhang Xun, who is as frightened as a lost dog, has too many reasons to feel humiliated and unwilling. Because he now felt as if he was a rat under the claws of the Flying Tigers/Cavalry behind him, and they were clearly teasing him, but he didn't even have the courage to fight.

It's not that Zhang Xun is willing to fall and is willing to be a mouse who is played by the teenager Li Tiezhu, but Zhang Xun is afraid of being beaten by Li Tiezhu.

Zhang Xun, who escaped from Xiapi City, organized three effective snipers on the way south, but in the end they all ended in fiasco. Under the city of Xiapi, the target of the first night attack under Chen Deng's command was Zhang Xun's troops, and Zhang Xun lost 2,000 soldiers that night; later, the four-way coalition army commanded the city at the same time, and Zhang Xun's troops died another 2 or 3,000 people under the city of Xiapi; when Zhao Yun led the Flying Tigers/cavalry into the city, he killed and disabled more than 1,000 soldiers under Zhang Xun's troops who were attacking the city.

In this way, when Zhang Xun fled in the direction of Yangzhou, he still had about 14,000 soldiers under his command, which was three times the 5,000 Flying Tigers/cavalry led by Li Tiezhu. But even so, Zhang Xun was still not the opponent of Li Tiezhu, who had just arrived, and was abused again and again by the Flying Tigers/Cavalry.

When Zhang Xun led his army to flee to the Xiaqiu area, he set up the first interception line here, leaving more than 3,000 Danyang elite soldiers to become the unlucky broken rear troops, and he continued to run towards the Huailing area with the remaining 10,000 people. With more than 3,000 Danyang soldiers to block the 5,000 Flying Tiger Army led by Li Tiezhu who had not yet "opened peace", only Zhang Xun, who was as timid as a mouse, could do such a stupid thing.

If any general from the Crouching Tiger Martial Arts Hall commanded this kind of battle, he would definitely choose the terrain where the cavalry was not easy to attack, and throw all 15,000 soldiers into battle, and fight to the death with the pursuers, completely solving his worries.

Will be the soul of the army. Even the main general has abandoned his soldiers and fled, and the soldiers who stay behind to fight the enemy in a suicide attempt still have the will to fight? Just like if a person has no soul, even if he has the strongest body in the world, he is only a zombie, how can he defeat a well-trained opponent? Not to mention that the Flying Tiger/Cavalry is not an ordinary opponent, but the most powerful opponent in the world!

Therefore, the first interception organized by Zhang Xunjun ended in failure without any suspense. When more than 3,000 Yuan Shu soldiers saw the Flying Tigers/cavalry of the brigade rushing towards their own formation, their will to fight was instantly shattered, and they all chose one action, that is, to throw away the weapons in their hands, and then fall to the ground and beg for mercy.

The reason why these Danyang soldiers, who were originally quite capable of fighting, did not choose to flee for their lives in all directions, nor did they choose to fight collectively, but stayed where they were and begged for mercy was that Li Tiezhu made good use of psychological warfare and propaganda warfare on the battlefield.

When the Jin State Naval Division was first established, thousands of Danyang soldiers who had been abandoned by Yuan Shu resolutely chose to join the Naval Division and became the backbone of the Naval Division. When Li Tiezhu went south by boat, he sat on the side of the big boat and watched the majestic and magnificent scene of "the moon rising from the sea" described by the lord Zhao Xing, and at the same time began to think about how to ask for a group of Danyang soldiers from Tai Shici.

Li Tiezhu asked Tai Shi Ci to ask for Danyang soldiers, in fact, the number of people is not large, only about a hundred, but the requirement must be the kind that has some fame in Yuan Shu's army, or has a wide range of connections, as for what is the use of these people, he sold Tai Shi Ci at that time. By the time Li Tiezhu led the army to pursue Zhang Xun, the one hundred and ten Danyang soldiers who went out with the army finally played an unexpected role.

In fact, Li Tiezhu's method, which Zhao Xing had used as early as when he attacked Zhangjiao, was to "mobilize the masses and disintegrate the enemy army". Before launching an attack on the remnants of Yuan Shu's army that were blocking the road, Li Tiezhu asked more than 100 officers and soldiers of the Navy Division to walk to the front of the battlefield and shouted at the Danyang soldiers not far away according to the words he had specially taught.

The officers and soldiers of the Navy Division spoke with an authentic Danyang accent, first reported their names and experiences in Yuan Shu's army, and then began an incomparably powerful psychological offensive.

Some veterans shouted: "Brother opposite, your chance has come! Look at how happy my brother is now! Quickly drop your weapons and join us, brother, I will take you to the sea to catch big fish, as long as you catch one, you can sell it for a lot of money, and then we will have half a cent!"

Some veterans shouted like that: "Fellow on the other side, don't give your life to Yuan Shu's ignorant turtle son and Zhang Xun, a coward who is afraid of death, we are all good brothers, our own brothers don't fight our own families, as long as you lay down your arms, I swear in the name of your ancestors, you will be fine!"

There are even veterans who grew up in the same village as the soldiers on the opposite side, who are bare-handed and bare-bodied, and just counted down the thousands of Danyang soldiers on the opposite side, and walked into the camp of the Danyang soldiers. This bold veteran walked up to his brother in the same village as him, first shook his former friend vigorously, and then said eagerly: "Dog day Xie Xiaosan, you are still fucking alive! Lao Tzu thought that you had died under the Kei Pass back then! Tell me how my father and my mother are doing now?"

The Danyang soldier, known as Xie Xiaosan, woke up like a dream at this time, regardless of the sweat on the faces of the two of them on a hot day, hugged his good buddy fiercely, and then cried. It didn't matter if he cried, but the Danyang soldiers around him were also flustered and confused, and tears couldn't help but drip down.

Li Tiezhu saw that the heat of the psychological offensive was almost over, and then he picked up a large standard copper horn and shouted to the Danyang soldiers who were blocking the road in front: "Brothers on the other side, I am Li Tiezhu, the military advisor of the Flying Tiger Army! Just now, your fellow countrymen, that is, my subordinates, have already shouted very clearly about the Jin State's policy of treating prisoners, whether you are dead or alive, everything depends on your own choice! Now I count from one to ten, and those who are willing to surrender throw away their weapons and lie on the ground waiting to be recruited! If you don't want to surrender, I'll come and compare with you after I've counted!"

"One...... Two...... Ten!" Without waiting for Li Tiezhu's ten numbers to finish, the Danyang soldiers who were originally standing on the opposite side fell in groups, and a large area was densely pressed. Occasionally, a few die-hards, when they saw that the brothers around them were kneeling down, they didn't have any courage to resist, so they had to kneel down.

Li Tiezhu saw all this in his eyes, and then turned his head and asked the shadow team members around him: "The few people on the other side who knelt down at the end, you guys secretly keep an eye on me!"

The first interception front left by Zhang Xun surrendered without a fight, and Li Tiezhu just moved his lips and harvested more than 3,000 well-trained soldiers, and now he could easily fulfill the promise he made to Tai Shici to "borrow one and repay ten".

Li Tiezhu left 1,000 Flying Tigers/Cavalry to guard the more than 3,000 Danyang soldiers who surrendered, and these more than 4,000 people will be stationed in Xiaqiu City, waiting for the Dragoon Army that is rushing to reinforce them.

After quickly dealing with these miscellaneous matters, Li Tiezhu led 4,000 cavalry to continue to chase Zhang Xun on the road, and when he reached the edge of the Huai River, he happened to see Zhang Xun leading the crowd to cross the river in a hurry. In order to prevent Zhang Xun from being completely disabled at one time, Li Tiezhu actually ordered all the soldiers to dismount and rest, and stood on the high place of the river bank for a long time to watch Zhang Xun lead 10,000 soldiers across the river.

Zhang Xun, a fool, saw that the cavalry brought by Li Tiezhu seemed to be less than a thousand people, and thought that the soldiers who left behind the broken wound had severely damaged the Flying Tiger/cavalry, so the Flying Tiger Army was timid and did not dare to attack.

Based on the stimulation of this ignorance and fearless spirit, Zhang Xun actually left 4,000 men to guard the other side of the Huai River after crossing the river, intending to attack the Flying Tiger Army who planned to cross the river. If he knew that Li Tiezhu was worried about him, a mouse, if he didn't flee to the closest place to Yangzhou with a large number of soldiers, then Yuan Shu was afraid that he would not send troops to the rescue, and he didn't know how he would feel?

Zhang Xun ran away, and left four thousand Danyang soldiers, Li Tiezhu on the other side of the river had a light in his eyes, and he almost drooled from his mouth. However, this time the situation is different from the last time, if it is really forced to cross the river, the Flying Tiger Army is afraid that it will be ruthless.

Because the current strength of the two sides is the same 4,000 people, the Danyang soldiers on the defensive side obviously occupy a geographical advantage, and once the Flying Tiger/cavalry dismounts and crosses the river, there is no advantage at all, so in contrast, no matter how problematic the brain is, the generals will not order to force the Huai River, not to mention Li Tiezhu, a guy who is better than a monkey?

Li Tiezhu thought to himself: Since the Flying Tiger Army does not want to cross the river to arrest the Danyang soldiers, then find a way to let the Danyang soldiers send them over by themselves! This is really a crazy idea, and Li Tiezhu can think of it. He actually sent the Shadow Team members back to Xiaqiu City, and asked the two battalion commanders of the Flying Tiger Army, who were responsible for guarding more than 3,000 Danyang troops, to divide their troops again, and let 500 of them be responsible for escorting 1,000 Danyang soldiers to the bank of the Huai River as soon as possible!

These Danyang soldiers who were brought to the Huai River were carefully screened by more than 100 veterans of the Jin State Naval Division, and it is possible that they will be the first to complete the transformation. They don't have much negative emotions about the Jin Kingdom, and after the enlightenment and education of the Flying Tiger Warriors who stayed behind, they have already revealed their desire to switch to the Jin Kingdom.

The battalion commander of the Jin State, who was responsible for leading them to the bank of the Huai River, solemnly told these soldiers that if they could complete the task assigned by the military division this time, then they would be equivalent to making a great contribution in advance, and once they entered the army of the Jin State, they would definitely have a good development.

At this time, the 1,000 "pro-Jin" Danyang soldiers who were eager to make meritorious contributions finally showed their good military qualities, fully carried forward the spirit of running faster than four legs on two legs, and even followed the Flying Tiger/cavalry all the way to the bank of the Huai River.

Looking at the 1,000 Danyang soldiers who rushed to the bank of the Huai River in just over a day, Li Tiezhu's heart was more happy than eating honey. With this kind of physical fitness, it is already comparable to the recruits who have just come out of the Jinguo Training Corps, and he feels that he has picked up a treasure this time.

Li Tiezhu deliberately selected 20 capable veterans from among the more than 100 officers and men of the naval division who were originally from Danyang, Yangzhou, and promoted them on the spot, each of whom was given the rank of company commander. Then he divided these twenty men into a thousand Danyang troops, and asked them to lead fifty men each, ready to carry out an incredible mission.
