Chapter 47 The Swearing-in Conference

In the blink of an eye, it had been more than half a month since the merchant army arrived outside Yicheng, and every day Lin Xing just sent people to collect some resources around to make chariots, and ignored the scolding of the people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The People's Army also bypassed the merchant army camp and attacked the squad that collected resources, but they were all discovered by the merchant army spies, and the mobile troops supported it in a very timely manner, and it did not cause much loss, but killed and injured many incoming enemies.

The five hundred chariots of all kinds that Lin Xing asked for were not completed in the end, firstly, because the raw materials were limited, which was not enough to build so many equipment, and secondly, even if so many instruments were built, they were not operated, and in the end they had to give up.

The collected raw materials were used up, and only more than 200 catapults were produced, less than 100 ballistas, and even worse than shield car impact cars, only a dozen, there was no way that thing wasted too much raw materials, and the materials of a shield car could make several ballistas.

That's it, I guess these things are enough for that kid to bear, and you still want to scheming me? Spreading rumors? That's all leftovers from the guys' play.

Although it was a leftover, it also played a big role, and there were a large number of people in the barracks -- especially the subordinates of Dong Bohou.

These people were already familiar with the people, they knew how strong the other party's combat effectiveness was, and they had followed the merchant army for more than half a month, and they didn't see any brilliance in this legendary Taishi, and they couldn't help but beat drums in their hearts. Therefore, as soon as the rumors came out, they believed them, not only believed, but then became the spreaders of the rumors, and this vicious circle also formed a lot of influence in some of them.

Now, Lin Xing has to find a way to eliminate these effects. Otherwise, it is easy to cause instability in the morale of the army on the battlefield, and saying unpleasant things may lead to a rout. The defeat is like a mountain, even if Lin Xing has a thousand clever plans, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to the sky at that time.

"Brothers, ahead is Yicheng of the People's Country, I believe that many of you present have heard the legend of Dapeng......" The first time he spoke to more than 100,000 people, Lin Xing was still a little nervous in his heart. However, this oath meeting is the key to eliminating the fear in the hearts of these soldiers, and they must not be sloppy at all, although they already contain mana when they speak, Lin Xing is still afraid that someone will not hear clearly.

"Da Peng is a cruel and unscrupulous person, and the people under his rule are full of grievances...... "Whether there is it or not, Lin Xing planted these trumped-up charges on Da Peng's head, isn't it playing psychological warfare? This is also a tactic, you don't care what I say, as long as the goal is achieved."

"Wen Zhong is not talented, thanks to the king's love, I am waved for the Heavenly Dao to crusade against this thief, and now there are Dong Bohou and Youhou and other righteous armies to help......" said passionately and generously, but the following reaction was very flat. It didn't achieve the effect that Lin Xing wanted.

Shouldn't we be excited? Shouldn't we raise our arms and shout? What kind of expressions are you? Give me a reaction!

"This group of soldiers didn't understand what you were talking about!" Mingyue saw Lin Xing's embarrassed appearance and enlightened him.

Lin Xingcai suddenly realized that his feelings were too profound, and what he said for Tianxing was too far away from the lives of these soldiers, and they didn't have a sense of substitution. It seems that a change in strategy is needed.

"In front of it is Yicheng, the capital of the Renfang Kingdom, the wealth collected by Dapeng in the past few years has been gathered in his palace, and there are countless women who have been looted by him waiting for you to save them. Lin Xing's vulgar language caused some generals to frown, but the effect of these soldiers was surprisingly good, and many people's eyes began to shine.

Seeing their intentions, Lin Xingyou threw out a bombshell: "After breaking Yicheng, the army is allowed to rob the city for three days, but it can only rob the mansions of officials and nobles, and those who harass the poor without permission will not be forgiven!"

Can you rob the city for three days? Coax us to play? No matter how much you fight in peacetime, the spoils are only divided equally among the magnates, when will it be the turn of the soldiers to get a piece of the pie?

However, seeing the commander's serious face, it didn't seem to be cheating. Slowly, some soldiers began to believe that the warm atmosphere was like a plague office gradually spreading to the entire barracks.

If you want to rob them, you naturally have to rob those officials, and you usually see that they are not pleasing to the eye, and if you rob them, you will rob them. As for those ordinary people, they are all from poor backgrounds, and they can't do it if they rob them, and there is nothing to rob.

"Pay attention to your own safety!" Lin Xing raised his index finger to emphasize this point: "Don't break through Yicheng in the end, you won't have the life to rob it, and you won't have the life to spend it." Think about your hometown, there are still families, wives, and children. In case you can't go back, there will be a man in your place, spending the money you have earned with your life, sleeping with your women, beating your children!"

Lin Xing's words made this group of big-headed soldiers burst into tears, since ancient times, only generals have urged soldiers to go into battle to kill the enemy and fight bravely, and how many people have cared about their lives and deaths?

In particular, the last parable is more useful than saying ten empty words about safety.

"Do you want to see this happen?" Lin Xing pointed to the heads of the hundreds of thousands of black people in the audience and said loudly, "Tell me what you think in your heart!"

"No!" "No, we don't want to!"

"The voice is too small for me to hear!" Lin Xing's sparse answer made Lin Xing very dissatisfied, this was not the effect he wanted.

"No!" more than 100,000 people roared at the same time, and the sound broke through the sky. The defenders of Yicheng ten miles away from them could hear it, and they couldn't help but wonder: What kind of illness did these merchant soldiers commit, and they didn't fight and roar in the camp all day long?

"Then do you want to get rich?" Lin Xing threw out this question again, which was regarded as the temptation of Chiguoguo.

"Think!" The voice was uniform, and the passion of the three armies was mobilized by Lin Xing.

"Do you want to taste what it's like to be a woman of the old man?"

"Yes!"

"Come back alive to see me!" Lin Xing's expression was a little gloomy when he said this, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were all good sons and daughters of Yin Shang. I don't know how many people will have to bury their bones in other places after this war, and no matter how well prepared they are, the cruelty of the war will not be merciful because of this.

"Let's go!" Lin Xing waved his hand and ordered the siege to begin.

According to his idea, he should first bombard the catapult for three or five days from afar, and then the attack of the large army would reduce many casualties.

However, the generals suggested that the siege of the city should be carried out in one go, and then it would be exhausted, and after three days, I am afraid that the morale that Lin Xing had finally mustered up would bottom out.

It makes sense! Lin Xing took this suggestion and rearranged the deployment. No longer use the stone-throwing truck as the main force of the siege, but only use it as a cover, and the defenders of Yicheng, who were smashed by hundreds of carts and stones, could not raise their heads.

The shield cart was used as the vanguard to cover the ladder cart and the advance of the siege vanguard. It is not the best idea to have soldiers climb the walls to fight the enemy, the only purpose of this team is to attract the enemy's attention. Breaking through the gates and allowing the cavalry to drive straight in is the key to victory.

Especially the elephant team, as long as the elephant team can cover the entry into the city, there will be no suspense in this war.

As for the ballista and shock car, they are only suitable for plain combat, and they really have little effect on siege and street fighting, mainly to sweep away the enemy who is out of the city and intercept.

Everything was arranged, and the army slowly moved towards Yicheng.

Dapeng had already received information that there was an abnormal movement in the Shang army, and the whole army was dispatched, as if there were signs of a large-scale siege of the city. So he personally led his subordinate generals to the top of the city to observe the movements of the commercial camp.

"This Wen Zhong really deserves its reputation!" Da Peng looked at the tide of merchants from afar, and couldn't help but sigh.

It is rumored that the Shang army is weak and the combat effectiveness is extremely poor, and now the army is neat and tidy, and the star flag electric halberd is like a division of a hundred battles. Although you just look at it from a distance, you can feel a murderous aura coming from the surface.

Da Peng has rich experience in leading troops in a hundred battles, and watching the battle is not only to see the number and formation of the enemy, but also to see the momentum. This thing can't be seen by the eyes, but can only be felt by feeling, a feeling that has been honed on the battlefield for a long time.

"The enemy army is in full swing, it is not appropriate to go out of the city at this time to fight hard, just rely on the city wall to hold on!" Da Peng commanded the herald next to him, turned around and walked down the city wall, the momentum of the merchant army is like a rainbow, and I am afraid that it will affect the mind if I look at it again, if I lose the courage to resist, then what is this battle to fight?
