565. The merchant army is mighty

On the other side, Zishou has woken up.

When the battle was almost over, he woke up, and he panicked when he heard the shouts of killing, and only then did he settle down when he saw Shen Gongbao sitting quietly at the door of the big tent.

At this time, the messenger sent by Lu Xiong arrived, and Ao Lie also came, all of them asking for war, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to recapture Bishui Pass.

Zishou wanted to stop talking, stopping words and desires, and hesitated for a long time, he didn't understand why the Zhou army did not defend the pass and attacked the camp at all, and what would be perfectly blocked by the sudden attack on the camp, nor did he understand where this inexplicable victory came from.

But everyone said that this is their own credit, Your Majesty Shengming, and the magic is clever.

Now the crowd is angry, the officers and men of the three armies are all thinking about tackling the key problems, but they can't stop it, and Lu Xiong has already led his troops to Bishui Pass, and sending someone to deliver a message.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zishou sighed and said: "I have my difficulties, I declared war on all countries, prepared for a year, and sent troops to the west, what the generals saw was how many enemies they had killed, and how many wars they had won or lost, and what Wenchen saw was how much food had been spent and how much land they had gotten to govern, and those nobles and princes were staring at my every move and the victory or defeat of our army......"

Ao Lie said: "The last general knows Your Majesty's difficulties, if our army can't take back Bishui Pass and retreat to other places, after this matter spreads all over the world, Your Majesty's prestige will be damaged, and the princes around the country will no longer wait and see, and follow the Zhou army to attack." ”

He felt that he understood everything, to summarize it a little, it was actually very simple, to put it bluntly, it was still fame, the king did not hesitate to recruit in person, and if he made a slight mistake, he would fall into an extremely passive situation, and now the king set up a clever plan to create the best chance to recapture Bishui Pass, but there is no guarantee that it will succeed, once it fails, the consequences are very bad.

So you have to plan in advance, the words of the king just now are to find someone to take the blame, if the defeated princes rise up and attack can't be avoided, at least you have to save the face of the king of a country and ensure that your prestige is not damaged.

"The last general..."Ao Lie thought for a moment, and then made up his mind: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much, just stay in the camp, the last general will lead the army alone, if there is an accident, it will be the fault of the last general, and the last general is willing to make a military order....."

Before Ao Lie's words were finished, Zishou was stunned, do you still want to grab the pot?

He frowned, and said righteously: "If this is not the case, whether it is the civil ministers, military generals or princes, what these people see is not what I see, what I see is that I have been tackling tough problems for days, the soldiers have suffered countless deaths and injuries, and the loss of money and grain is not calculated, these soldiers are all the people of my big business, and these money and grain are all taxes that my big merchants and people save money and frugality, how can I feel at ease?"

"Five days, only five days, you can tackle the key problems, attack or use tactics, you can fight, you and the old general to discuss, but there are only five days, if you can't attack in five days, then withdraw the army, retreat through the cloud pass to defend, and then discuss. ”

Ao Lie was stunned.

Dying on the battlefield is a common thing for soldiers, and it is natural, that is, he also understands that these soldiers are equivalent to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas, how many or how many you want, you don't need to care about your life at all, the big demon is a little disputed when you come to the door, and no one will feel distressed if you die eighteen million.

It's like Nezha taking a bath, even the Dragon Palace was stirred, and the ghost knows how many shrimp soldiers and crab generals died, but no one mentioned it at all.

The dragon king will not be unbearable for the death of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and the kings of the world rarely can't bear to give in to the death of the soldiers, but the king of the dragon did this.

Ao Lie had never seen a king do this, even.... It may be that he has appointed women in the face of the world's disapproval, and even with it, the king has some women's kindness.

Of course, this is not the first day, everyone knows that the king is merciful, and the benevolence is a little excessive, to the slaves, the homeless, not to mention the soldiers, the king's words, unexpected, and reasonable.

Just when Ao Lie was stunned, Zishou repeated it again, his tone was gentle, he moved with affection, he knew it with reason, and the inexplicable victory made his original plan to withdraw from the army all come to naught, and he could only take the opportunity to set a time limit to come out.

He knew that his own ability was no longer enough to control the situation, and he had no choice but to let it go, whether Bishui Pass could be won or not, whether this battle was won or lost, at least he had done what he could, and did not let more soldiers die in vain.

After Ao Lie responded, he took soldiers and horses to support Lu Xiong.

Under the Bishui Pass, the two joined forces, and Lu Xiong, who was the first to come with great spirit, made a difficulty, and the Zhou army had used these days to build some defense equipment, which was more difficult to attack than before.

Now the morale of the soldiers is high, but there are not many ways, since ancient times, there are not many siege methods, nothing more than arson, digging tunnels, buying internal response or direct surrender, etc.

The fire failed, the Bishui Pass burned a few times, Nangong Shi must have taken precautions, and it was not possible to dig the tunnel, it was too late to come up, if Nei Ying was so easy to buy, there was no need to defeat before, and Ji Fa was in the Guanzhong, directly cutting off the possibility of surrender.

Then, all that remains is the most conventional and mundane way, a forcible attack.

"Attack..."Lu Xiong muttered, he didn't attack it, at the beginning he was attacking Bishui Pass, and he was even close to success, and in the end, although he didn't notice Nangong Shi's treacherous plan and was blocked by Lei Zhenzi, he also knew very well that at that time, the Zhou army was really unable to resist before he withdrew from the wall, and let them enter the pass and then carry out a flanking strategy.

Therefore, he knows better how many soldiers will be sacrificed in a strong attack.

Ao Lie also realized something: "Now the military heart is available, but it still has to be attacked, and the sacrifice of the soldiers is inevitable, Your Majesty may have seen this, so the time limit was set, Your Majesty is merciful, and I can't bear it..."

"Attack, attack. ”

Lu Xiong frowned slightly, his face turned cold, this is the best opportunity that the King of Xuan has created for them, even if they sacrifice countless times, they can't miss it, the King of Xuan doesn't know how to choose, so he comes.

With a wave of his hand, the merchant army lined up.

"In front of us is Bishui Pass! The place where our army was defeated, and it is also the starting point of the western expedition!"

Lu Xiong rode over and said loudly: "General Dou, General Han, General Zhao, General Qian, General Sun..... And your countless robes, they are all left here!"

"Your Majesty can't bear to have more people stay here, so he ordered that within five days, if you can't capture Bishui Pass, you will retreat to Chuanyun Pass. ”

"The old man is unwilling, since the Western Expedition is for the sake of conquest, why should he retreat?! Don't wait for me, I want to compete for all the merits today, either the old man stepped on Zhou Jun's corpse and went in, or Zhou Jun dragged the old man's corpse in!"

Ao Lie silently followed behind Lu Xiong, giving up half a distance from the horse's body, and behind them were several merchant army banners.

Xiao Liu held one of them in his hand, looking at the wall of the pass, his eyes were like fire, they were back, the remnants of the Bishui Pass, as long as they could walk, even if they were injured and broke their hands, none of them came back.

Lu Xiong hissed and shouted:

"The merchant army is mighty!"

The soldiers raised their troops in response:

"The general is mighty!"

"The merchant army is mighty!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"The merchant army is mighty!"

"Life and death together!"

"Take back the Bishui Pass!"

"Kill!"

"Stepping on Xiqi!"

"Kill! Kill!"

"Celebrate the New Year with a song of the court!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"If you don't break the enemy's army, you won't turn back!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

At this moment, the morale of the soldiers of the merchant army, who had already taken advantage of the great victory, suddenly rose to the peak, and everyone's eyes flashed with brilliance, whether for the country, or for the family, or for the military merits or for the individual, all staring at the wall in front of them, just waiting for a drum to sound, and then began to rush and kill.

It was Yin who was beating the drum, and the fat on his shoulders shook under the huge force, and there were three knocks.

The drums sounded.
