Chapter 17: Killing the General (Part 2)
I knew that Wang Shu was slack, but I didn't expect him to slack off to this extent. But as long as Wang Shu arranged the defense better, and the ranger reacted in time, it would be impossible for the other party to be so majestic.
"Fuck!" Li Ye burst into a foul language, rode his horse and galloped over directly, Zhou Qi hurriedly followed when he saw this, and at the same time did not forget to let people pass a message to Yang Fuguang and ask the other party to come over quickly.
Li Ye arrived at Wang Shu's camp, looked left and right, the other camps were almost set up, and there was still chaos here, he reined in the reins of the horse and asked, "Where is Wang Shu?!"
After waiting for a while, Wang Shu appeared, he didn't run over, but rode a horse, with more than 100 personal soldiers behind him.
After stopping his horse after more than ten steps, Wang Shu slightly clenched his fist at Li Ye, and said quite unhappily: "Dashuai, my battalion was attacked just now, why don't you see a fine cavalry coming to reinforce it? The thief army is on a rampage, and the loss here is not small!"
Hearing Wang Shu's words, Li Ye was as disgusted as eating a fly, and laughed angrily: "According to General Wang's intentions, this commander still has to replenish your soldiers and horses?"
Wang Shu stiffened her neck and said, "If that's the case, it's naturally the best." Our soldiers and horses in Caizhou, the salaries have always been uneven, and the soldiers are hungry and have no fighting spirit. If the commander is willing to allocate some grain, straw, wine and meat, our soldiers will be able to go to war with pleasure. ”
Li Ye was almost amused by Wang Shu: "If this commander gives you money and food, how about your department as the vanguard tomorrow, how about the first siege of the city?"
Wang Shu's face changed, and suddenly showed an inexplicable smile: "My armor is not in order, if you go first, I am afraid that I will be sent to death." The commander's subordinates are all elites, do they still need to use the lives of our soldiers to fill the moat in Dengzhou?"
Slacking off in battle, shirking responsibility, asking for money and food when he opened his mouth, and resigned from hundreds of shifts as soon as he had a task, if it was just that, Wang Shu was still very unruly.
After Wang Shu's words were finished, the soldiers of Caizhou were not angry, and they attacked the city first, although it was possible to get the first merit, but the casualties in the battle must be the greatest, so the role of the vanguard, not a brave general, is unwilling to fight.
"The life of the Caizhou soldiers, Ben Shuai is not interested, your head, Ben Shuai wants it. Li Ye lost the interest in continuing to talk to Wang Shu.
"Dashuai, you dare to ......" Wang Shu's face changed suddenly, and she was about to say something, but she saw that Li Ye had disappeared in place.
Li Ye suddenly appeared in front of Wang Shu, leaned out with one hand, grabbed his head, and took it off directly.
Wang Shu's angry expression was still frozen on her face.
From beginning to end, he didn't even have the ability to dodge, let alone fight back.
Li Ye carried Wang Shu's head, kicked his body down, stood on horseback, looked around, and his eyes were cold: "The soldiers of Caizhou are all listening to Ben Shuai, tomorrow will attack the city, Erbu will go first, whoever dares not to obey, military law will be engaged!"
Seeing Wang Shu's corpse in a different place, the expressions of the Caizhou soldiers all changed greatly. Li Ye's method of picking off his head was too bloody and domineering, and many people retreated in horror.
But after listening to Li Ye's words, some people looked angry, they have always been unruly, under the command of Qin Zongquan, they never put Zhou Qi in their eyes, how could they be willing to obey Li Ye's assignment as an outsider at this moment, and still send him to death.
"Dashuai, why did you kill General Wang?!"
"We don't be pioneers!"
"We're going back to Caizhou!"
"Fucking uncle is no longer waiting, go back!"
The soldiers with a fierce temperament and a hot temper suddenly shouted at this time, Li Ye killed Wang Shu, while making them afraid, they also committed public anger, and they heard that they were going to be pioneers, so naturally the bull's temper came up.
Besides, they don't believe it, Li Ye dares to kill them all, this is before the war, it is already disadvantageous to kill the general, can they still fight in the nest?
Li Ye sneered, Lu Gu sword in his hand, and slashed out several sword qi one after another, and the soldiers who had just spoken, along with the companions around them, all exploded under the sword qi, and the remnants of the severed limbs flew everywhere.
This time, Li Ye directly killed dozens of people.
"Who else dares to disobey military orders?" Li Ye looked out.
Everyone didn't expect Li Ye to be so brutal, he said that he would do it, and the technique was so neat, among the people who were killed by Li Ye just now, there were Qi cultivators, and there were two middle stages of Qi training.
If it weren't for self-sustaining cultivation to become strong, how could they dare to be unruly, but now, they are all dead and have no corpses, and they haven't even taken a single move from Li Ye.
Everyone was horrified, and they all lowered their heads in fear and didn't dare to speak, but not everyone was so courageous, and some were hot-headed and couldn't recognize the situation, and they wanted to touch Li Ye's brows, and a cavalry general gritted his teeth and roared: "The handsome man killed my fellow Caizhou for no reason, intending to take the opportunity of this battle to eliminate dissidents and make us all ......."
What he said was to arouse the hatred of the soldiers of Caizhou, but before he finished speaking, his head flew into the sky in the sword qi, and several monks behind him who were about to draw their swords were also cut in two under this sword.
Li Ye looked around at everyone, his face was expressionless, and his voice was indifferent: "Who else is not convinced?"
The soldiers retreated again and again, shaking their heads in fear, for fear of being killed by Li Ye in a rage.
The cultivation strength that Li Ye showed was too strong, and he was a rider, but he was a fifth-level cultivator. However, when everyone thought about it, even Wang Shu, who was at the sixth level of Qi training, was killed by Li Ye when he said that he would kill him, what about the fifth layer of Qi training?
Li Ye killed people too easily, it was not so simple to cut melons and vegetables, and now the generals understood that as long as Li Ye was willing, they would die at any time, and Li Ye really didn't mind that they all came to resist.
In the army of more than 100,000, Caizhou soldiers and horses are only 15,000, if someone leads them, they can still be unruly when they encounter a not-so-strong general, and they can not work to protect themselves, but when they meet Li Ye, all this is delusional.
"If no one is convinced, they will all kneel down for Ben Shuai!" Li Ye suddenly shouted.
Caizhou soldiers, look at me, I look at you, in the end, no one dared to speak, gritted his teeth, one knelt down, two people knelt down, and then knelt down in pieces, and in an instant, the entire camp, more than 10,000 people, all bowed their heads.
When Yang Fuguang arrived, he saw such a picture, Wan Jun knelt down to worship the commander.
He saw the head in Li Ye's hand, and he recognized it as Wang Shu's head, but he didn't feel inappropriate. Wang Shu has been passive and sluggish all the way, he has long wanted to do it, but he just took care of the soldiers and horses of Caizhou, so he couldn't bear it, Li Ye did what he wanted to do but didn't dare to do.
Yang Fuguang looked at Li Ye, his eyes were full of awe, and he said in his heart: "I only knew that King An's cultivation was superb, and he could strategize and fight on the battlefield, but I didn't know that King An was so decisive in killing, and he was really a dragon and phoenix!"
Li Ye glanced at Yang Fuguang and turned around and said, "Liu Dazheng!"
Liu Dazheng had already arrived, and at this moment he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists: "Dashuai!"
Li Ye ordered: "Now, you are the chief general of the Caizhou soldiers, and the commander will temporarily lend you all the wolf teeth, and you will clean up the discipline of the Caizhou soldiers." Remember, you only have one night, and tomorrow, I will see the Caizhou soldiers attack the city first!"
Liu Dazheng awe-inspiring promised: "The last general will take orders!"
Li Ye took one last look at Caizhou's soldiers: "Tomorrow will attack the city, rewards and punishments will be in accordance with military laws, if you can capture the city, this commander will allow you to wait for three days to rest!"
After that, Li Ye no longer stayed, threw Wang Shu's head to Liu Dazheng, and said to Yang Fuguang before leaving: "Rectify the military discipline of Caizhou, and ask the inspector of the supervising army." ”
Yang Fuguang hugged his fists and said: "Our family is duty-bound, don't worry!"
Dengzhou City, after watching the whole process of Li Ye cleaning up the Caizhou soldiers, Zhu Wen's face was as black as ink, he held back for a long time, and said with emotion: "Li Ye is too ruthless, right?"
After that, he glanced at Zhu Zhen, and the meaning was unknown. Zhu Zhen suddenly shuddered when she touched Zhu Wen's eyes. In their opinion, Li Ye Xingshi asked for the guilt, not only killed the generals without a word, but also bloodily suppressed the turmoil of the subordinates, and finally arranged another chief general for them, asking the whole army to rectify military discipline.
And this is just because the soldiers of that army fought against Huo Cun unfavorably, and lost less than 200 people.
If this is the case, he will kill the general, so what reason does Zhu Wen have not to kill Zhu Zhen?
Of course, Zhu Wen will not kill Zhu Zhen, there is still a difference between the two situations, Zhu Zhen is defeated by force, which is different from Wang Shu's passive response.
However, in any case, after this trouble, whether it was Zhu Wen and other generals, or ordinary soldiers at the head of Dengzhou City, they all saw Li Ye's domineering methods, which reflected Li Ye's determination to take Dengzhou City.
It is conceivable that just because of the ineffective response to Huo Cun, the Caizhou soldiers will be rectified by the whole army, so the other parts of the official army will inevitably have to die in the siege battle that will start tomorrow, and they will not dare to slack off at all, so the pressure that Dengzhou City will face will be great.
This battle will be very difficult to fight.
Realizing this, the defenders of Dengzhou, who had just been fighting because of Huo Cun's fighting spirit, felt great pressure, and their morale had not been high for a long time, so it was low again.
The future is worrying.
The siege has not yet begun, and the two armies have not yet fought a decisive battle, but the battle between the commanders has been carried out for several rounds, and each has its own results.
In front of Li Ye's iron and bloody wrists, not only the defenders of Dengzhou, but also the loyal army were also deterred, and even the Pinglu army was all in good spirits. It's as if someone has a whip in their back, ready to whip them at any moment, so that they don't dare to be careless in the slightest.
In this way, Zhu Wen, who originally planned to rob the camp at night and create chaos for the officials and soldiers, had to put away this tempting idea. Because the guards of the officers and soldiers are too strict, and the spirit of the soldiers is too good, there is no chance to take advantage of the robbery camp, and if it is not good, it will be counterattacked.
The next day, at dawn, Li Ye had already had breakfast and was listening to Liu Dazheng's return.
Last night, he had already issued a military order, the third watch made food, and the fifth watch went to war.
It's June and it's dawning early.
Liu Dazheng has almost put the Caizhou soldiers in order, there are 3,000 wolf teeth that have just won a big victory as a deterrent, and there are 150,000 troops on the side, the rectification is going smoothly, at least today the first attack can be done.
Although the city defense of Dengzhou has only been repaired for the most part, Zhu Wen has arranged the defense very tightly, and the casualties of the first to enter the city will undoubtedly be very large, Li Ye originally had no intention of using cannon fodder tactics, but since Wang Shu is looking for death, he does not mind driving the Caizhou soldiers forward to take the lead, anyway, it is the strength of Qin Zongquan that is weakened.
At sunrise, Li Ye took a group of staff members to climb the watchtower as high as ten zhang.
