Chapter 718: Discord
Some of them make the hair on their bodies fall out instantly, and some of them make people start to grow crazy after getting it. ใReading.comใ
These strange effects of the powder were thrown everywhere by the power of the firecracker explosion, and the imperial capital was very high, and the wind was not small, so under the push of the wind, these powders not only spread on the city, but also floated into the city, everywhere they went, it was really a ghost crying wolf.
In addition to the torture of **, the loud noise caused by the explosion of firecrackers is also quite devastating to people's hearing.
Especially at this time, the strong enemy is outside, even if the defenders at the head of the imperial capital are all the fierce generals of the three major legions of the empire, extremely brave, but no matter how brave he is, he is also a human being, before this kind of big war comes, it is the time when the black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it, who can have no psychological pressure.
Suddenly, when you hear such a loud noise, everyone has to be scared, and if you are bold, the trembling will be over. But if the psychological quality is poor, the tense heartstrings may be broken, and then they will fall into an extremely crazy state, which is definitely who sees whom.
The so-called camp is actually like this. The pressure in the army is very high, and the spirit of every soldier is tense, and if someone shouts at night, it is likely that he will suddenly be frightened, and then he will think that the enemy is coming, and then draw his sword and cut it.
One of the reasons why the night camp is often so effective is that most of the time it is not the threat posed by the people who steal the camp, but simply the cannibalism of the frightened soldiers.
The same is true of the current defenders of the imperial capital, as soon as the explosion sounded, some people who were under too much mental pressure collapsed, and subconsciously pulled out their knives and cut people.
Seeing him killing, others naturally would not sit idly by, and naturally fought back.
The soldiers may have friends or enemies in private, but now that the fight starts, many people will hold the idea that the law is not to blame, complain and take revenge, so the small slashing has become a large-scale fight.
When there was a riot in the imperial capital and in the military camp, the revenge action carried out by the generals on Song Li's side did not end.
The sound of explosions kept beckoning to the top of the city.
In addition, quite a few people rode horses, carried gongs and drums, and began to run farther away.
The imperial capital of the Holy Lion Empire was too big, and the city walls were even longer than ever, and in order to prevent Song Li from attacking in weak places, the defenders were scattered everywhere.
At this time, there are too many places for the soldiers on Song Li's side to play.
The beating of gongs and drums was one thing, and some soldiers with loud voices began to shout and curse with improvised white iron horns. Some persuaded them to surrender, and some simply formed a military choir and began to sing various hometown tunes.
Scolding the formation, needless to say, a group of rough men in the army, scolding people is definitely full of tricks, all kinds of tones, all kinds of dialects emerge in an endless stream, those who don't have fire can be angry when they hear it, not to mention that the two sides are still enemies, and they are even more angry enough, and someone in the city will immediately open their mouths to return the mouth.
What people are most afraid of scolding is that a person scolds, as the saying goes, a slap doesn't make a sound, and so does a scolding fight.
Now that there is someone in the city, it will be interesting, come on, who is afraid of whom. A group of people at the head of the city, a group of people under the city wall, you come and go, spray at me.
Those who persuaded to surrender were all tongue-in-cheek, and they knew how good they were to reason and move with affection, first saying how bad the Holy Emperor was, killing heroes, destroying relatives, in short, all the bad things that he could do were done. Then he said how good Song Li was and how much credit he had made, but he was suspicious of the Holy Emperor, and repeatedly troubled him and wanted to get rid of him, so he had no choice but to raise troops.
In order to be more convincing, he also told Song Li about the attack on the Holy Lion Mountain, and pointed out that the old man without appearance was instructed by the Holy Emperor.
At that time, the reason why Song Li didn't say anything was just to fulfill the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, but he didn't expect the Holy Emperor to intensify his efforts, so he had to ask the Qing monarch to be on the right side.
No one knows whether the people in the city believe these words or not, but if a seed of doubt is planted, it will not hurt to affect the morale of the defenders in the city.
As for the improvised choir in the army, it is even more powerful.
When Song Li was building the army, he integrated some of the things he had heard and seen during military training in his previous life into his army, such as singing songs to each other when the battalions were fine, one was to relieve the fatigue of the march, and the other was to boost morale.
So in Song Li's army, there are really a lot of soldiers who can sing, so the choir in the army also came into being.
At this time, as soon as they opened, it was really loud and loud, and the sound spread for miles.
Regardless of whether their singing voice is winter or not, whether the tune is accurate or not, it is purely sincere, especially when they sing the minor key of their hometown, which contains a strong sense of homesickness.
The defenders at the head of the city were not originally from the imperial capital, but from all over the Holy Lion Empire, some of them wandered around after being soldiers, and they hadn't been home for many years.
This embattled hand had a great impact on the defenders of the city, and it was definitely more powerful than killing thousands of 800 people during the siege.
The generals of the Chengtou garrison also noticed this situation, but there was no way to stop it, who didn't want to go home after being away from home for many years. He couldn't keep the people in the city from singing, and he didn't dare to let his soldiers not listen, otherwise these fighting men would make a fuss, and no one knew what they would do.
"In the city, where are you?" The people in the city not only sang, but also began to use their hometown dialect to climb the villagers.
Some of the defenders at the head of the city did not speak, and some of the bold ones answered. So you came and went and we talked.
When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears. Separated by the high city walls, it is really a deep and long friendship between the villagers.
This night, except for some small disturbances that were attacked in the first half of the night, Song Li's army was quite well rested. Even if there were some firecrackers occasionally, because they had already been explained by the non-commissioned officer, they knew that this was their own side harassing the enemy, and basically did not suffer much impact.
But the defenders of the imperial capital are different. The generals under Song Li did a pretty good job, and all kinds of harassment actions blossomed in all directions, making the hearts of the defenders fluctuate, especially the soldiers who stood guard last night, and no one could rest well.
Although the number of these soldiers is not large, everyone knows that if this goes on for a long time, it is inevitable that the morale of the army will fluctuate.
"It's a good one-handed strategy. Wei Qianli stood at the head of the city, looking at the rolling military camp below, listening to the news gathered by his subordinates, and had to admit that Song Li played beautifully.
Woo.
At this moment, the horn sounded, and then the drum was also beaten loudly.
"Prepare to meet the enemy, the enemy is attacking. Wei Qianli ordered.
Last night's harassment could only be regarded as a small revenge for the enemy's night attack, and today's siege is the main event.
Since the walls of the imperial capital are much higher and thicker than those of the Demon Pass, when attacking the city, it cannot be as hasty and negligent as that time.
To this end, Song Li made preparations in advance. Although he was not fully sure that he could break through the imperial capital in one go, he hoped to take this opportunity to take a good look at how well the army on his side was training.
But there are some things that have to be done before the real fight.
That is persuasion.
In the past, the person who went to persuade him to surrender was just a small soldier, at most an ordinary general.
The first way to do this is to avoid the other party's refusal to surrender and kill Mingzhi who persuaded him to surrender. If it's a small soldier, it's nothing if it's killed, but if the boss is killed, then there is no way to fight this battle. The second is to use small soldiers to persuade the other party to surrender, which is also invisibly elevating oneself and belittling the other party, so as to hit the morale of the other party.
It's just that this time, Song Li didn't do it.
He personally walked to the front of the formation, looked at Wei Qianli above the city and said: "Qianli, I estimate that you are the best person to defend the city, but I really don't want you to stand on the head of the city, you tell me, you are here to defend the city, what do you let me do?"
"What's the situation?"
"What do you mean?"
......
Song Li's voice was very loud, although it was not a sound that spread thousands of miles, but it was no problem to spread all over a radius of dozens of miles. Therefore, his words were clearly heard by the people on both sides.
There were many battle-hardened soldiers present, and they had seen a lot of various persuasions, either impassioned, or righteous words, or knowing how to move with reason, or threatening and inducing. But I have never seen anything like Song Li, and a mouth gives people a feeling of affection.
"Qianli, you haven't forgotten, we are relatives, to be precise, you are my brother-in-law, you tell me, you are now standing on the head of the city to fight with me, if you have three long and two short, how can I explain to your sister when I turn around." โ
"Qianli, it's really embarrassing for me that you did this, I want to know if it was your own idea to do this, or did the Holy Emperor do it on purpose?"
"Forget it, don't say it, I can guess it, it must have been done by the Holy Emperor, not me, who was a junior, who said that he wasn't, my uncle, has no other skills, he has done too much in the name of letting others kill each other, and he has done too much about the duel between relatives and friends. โ
"So I don't blame you, if there is a real fight later, you are welcome, I can't embarrass you. โ
"The handsome man is benevolent. Before Song Li's words fell, someone behind him shouted.
"The handsome man is benevolent. Someone started, and all the soldiers on Song Li's side shouted.
Lu Qian, this kid is too clever, and he will be promoted when he turns around. Song Li secretly praised in his heart, and then said: "Qianli, I didn't come here to persuade you to surrender, because I know that you are loyal, even if you know that the Holy Emperor asked you to come to defend the city with evil intentions, you will not refuse, so I don't plan to persuade you." โ
"I'm here just to tell you one thing, that is, your sister Wei Qianjing is happy, I'm about to be a father, and you are going to be an uncle, this is a good thing, I should tell you to make you happy. โ
Song Li's words are not false, after his efforts some time ago, Wei Qianxing is indeed pregnant. However, he had been hiding it from others before, and now that he said it, it actually stimulated Wei Qianli.
For Wei Qianli, Song Li has always liked him very much, who made you so handsome and so stylish! He believed that Wei Qianli's attitude towards him was similar
