Chapter 196: A Different Mid-Autumn Festival
The morale of the imperial army was low, and Shaohuashan was diametrically opposed.
All the cottages participated in the battle, taking the battalion as the formation and taking turns to fight, fighting with the imperial army for several days. After fierce offensive and defensive battles, everyone was baptized with blood and fire. In addition to the soldiers who have been killed in the past few days, there are more than 12,000 people in total, who have transformed from minions who robbed homes and houses into real soldiers.
Yes, like a big wave sweeping the sand, all those who survive are true warriors. They were not afraid of any enemy, not even the Western army. And these days are fighting these people and frustrating one after another!
Wang Jin knew that the elite was not trained, so he single-handedly contributed to it.
In addition to the growth of the minions, what makes people laugh is that those prisoners of the forbidden army and even the Western Army have been busy carrying stones for a few days, and the performance of the minions in Shaohua Mountain is too terrifying. "The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road", and "do not give up and do not abandon anyone".
Shuangdaotou Tuo Guanghui came to Amitabha Buddha again, and played with a three-inch incorruptible tongue to tell the darkness of today's world, the mediocrity of the court, and the suffering of the people. Kill people without blinking, persuade others to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.
However, this trick was quite useful, and more and more people were persuaded by the master to voluntarily join the cottage. Not to mention that 3,000 people were broken up and reorganized to contribute. Maybe I was really impressed, maybe I had this intention, or maybe I was afraid of being used as cannon fodder to follow the crowd. In any case, the vitality of the cottage has increased instead of decreasing!
With plenty of manpower to take turns or carry stones, the first pass has not yet been broken. The steep slope outside is like a place of death.
The imperial army could not be shaken, and the morale was so low that there was no strong attack today. The turtle cowered in ten miles
The military camp outside is like a wounded jackal silently licking its wounds, turning a blind eye to the provocation of the cottage minions.
Until the sun set, there was no sign of attack.
The minions on the pass stopped the meaningless vicious curses, provoked and abused, and gathered in twos and threes to talk about the incompetence of the imperial court, when to take the initiative to attack Yunyun. Of course, there are also people who snap their fingers and say that today seems to be the August Festival. When I got to the cafeteria to bring dinner, it was even more messy.
Tonight I had horse meat stuffed dumplings, steamed buns, and a chicken piece stewed radish. Each person also has a few round brown sugar pancakes to serve as mooncakes.
It's August 15th. Mid-autumn festival.
It's a rare thing to have a hot meal at this moment. Not to mention moon cakes. And the amount is large and full. The minions sat on the floor with the bowl in their hands, talking and laughing.
Despite their sloppy appearance, no one let their guard down, their weapons untouched, their eyes piercing and ready to fight.
Wang Jin stood at the second pass and nodded with satisfaction when he saw this scene. Watch the growth of his future team, and look at the sun in the west, and calculate the losses of the enemy. I felt it was time to start the next step and retreat.
The enemy lost more than half of the troops, and the first level was not broken.
Wang Jin was confident that with the strong defense of the cottage, he could wear out tens of thousands of troops. But if you really do that, it will provoke the anger of the imperial court, and you may not be able to transfer more military horses and 180,000 troops, and retreat like that will become an extravagant hope. There is not much food left in the cottage, so it really has to be braided.
"Hey, it's still too weak, otherwise Lao Tzu can grind out the 100,000 troops of the Northern Song Dynasty." Wang Jin thought that he had to evacuate the north, and his mood was slightly complicated.
"Brother, what do you want?"
Shang Guihua and Hu Sanniang came with a food box.
"I was thinking I was dying!" Wang Jin's smile was a little strange.
Shang Guihua's apricot eyes widened: "Get out, you talk nonsense again, be careful that I beat you!" ”
"That's it, say such unlucky words, hurry up, ......" Hu Sanniang was a little excited, glared at someone and spat a few bites.
Wang Jin looked at the two flower-like but somewhat violent women, and his heart warmed, maybe this was the extra concern of coming to this world, and pulled the two women to the corner: "Okay, don't get excited, I have something to say." ”
Open the food box and take out the steaming dumplings, pancakes, and stewed radish. Even as the owner or leader of the cottage, he has not engaged in specialization.
Wang Jin didn't care, chatted with the two women while eating, and learned that the food was only enough for half a month. Only radishes remained, and the uneaten horse meat had been dried.
"I'm going to die like this......" Wang Jin got down to business again, causing the two women to grin. The next words made the two violent women dumbfounded......
A barracks ten miles away.
Dusk is also the time for dinner, and the aroma of food fills the camp. The staple food is rice or steamed buns, with vegetables and pickles, and the food grade is not as good as that of cottages, and officers do not eat big pot rice, so they are very specialized. It seems that several county towns also sent moon cakes, wine and meat for them to enjoy.
In order to break the class division, at least three to five hundred people defected to the cottage.
Although there were a lot of people in the barracks, most of them were listless and unrefreshed. There was a dead air in the barracks, which was a sign of low morale. Although the generals said well, many people were confused.
In this state, it is inevitable that there will be no strong attack.
Tonight, under the same bright moon, phase
Ten miles apart, but there are two atmospheres. The lights on Shaohua Mountain are bright, and the singing of screaming is wafting. In the barracks ten miles away, the soldiers raised their heads to look at the bright moon and think about life.
Can the imperial court lay down Shaohua Mountain? How many more people will have to die in the future? Some of the depressing barracks are like old men in the twilight compared to the laughter of the cottages.
The grassroots soldiers are also very anxious as officers. What's the use of being just eager? Shaohua Mountain is still not going to fall.
The atmosphere did not change until the next day, near noon.
Three thousand reinforcements from Jingzhao Mansion arrived, bringing with them several stone throwers and bed crossbows, and the hideous and murderous siege equipment boosted morale. The officers and men, who were still a little wilted, seemed to see hope.
This is to perceive that Shaohua Mountain is a difficult bone to gnaw.
Gao Jian, the ruler of Jingzhao Mansion, led the team back to Jingzhao Mansion, dismantled and borrowed the equipment on the city wall, and prepared to use the tactic of capturing the thief and capturing the king first!
At first, many generals did not agree with the attention of the ruling officer Gao Jian. After all, this guy is mediocre, and he has never had a high opinion in the army for so many years.
The High Ruler was furious, pointing at the birds and denouncing the stupidity. talked about his plan eloquently, and finally put down a cruel sentence: "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and a fool will always have a gain in a thousand thoughts." Do you think Lao Tzu is stupid? According to my plan, this battle is destined to be without suspense. Besides, Jingzhao Mansion is the closest, so if you don't agree, you have to agree. ”
Whether it is the Western Army, the Border Army, or the Forbidden Army, no one dares to underestimate it! At the moment, the losses are heavy, and there is no better chance to do it all.
The ruler Gao Jian is here, and there is hope!
There was also a lot of wine and meat
Although the festival has passed, the afterglow is still there. It was specially distributed to the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and the reputation of the high rule was far and wide. The moon of sixteen is round. The imperial army had a belated festive season.
Li Hu, the new warden of Jingzhao Mansion, walked out of the woods with his pants in his hand. Not long after, in the dark night, there were carrier pigeons flying to the Shaohua Mountain breeding base.
"Pass my order, evacuate in batches, brother, you follow along." Wang Jin looked at the note sent by the young man Lang Han Qi and decisively ordered to evacuate. patted the young man's shoulder again, and told him with a straight face before the other party said no.
"You forgot? All actions are under command. ”
"Yes." Han Qi drooped his head and didn't stalk his neck.
After Wang Jin's order was delivered, Shaohuashan began to get busy. The canteen is shuttled, either steaming steamed buns with noodles or making rice balls to prepare dry food. The minions were ordered to evacuate and packed their belongings......
In the middle of the night, the minions evacuated quickly and in an organized manner. First of all, the wounded of the fierce battles in the past few days were the first to be transferred, escorted by thousands of cavalry, and escorted the prisoners to leave from the secluded path in the back mountain, and most of the personnel stationed at the three passes were transferred.
Everything is going on quietly, no one knows!
