Devil’s Advent

As an ancient zombie, Liang Cheng once said this sentence: Human beings are the most adaptable existence in this world.

This sentence has been perfectly interpreted by Uncle Zheng;

I still remember that in Hutou City, Uncle Zheng was selected into the civilian husband’s camp, Xue San helped him carry the armor, and Liang Cheng helped him carry the knife;

that night

Liang Cheng and Xue San pressed a barbarian knight in front of Uncle Zheng,

Uncle Zheng went down with a knife,

Hack it to death!

As a human being in two lives, it was the first time that Uncle Zheng felt the taste of blood rushing to his face so closely and clearly, and it caused serious physical discomfort.

years passed,

Uncle Zheng today,

However, when attacking the city, he was able to calmly order to retreat and fight again.

As if taking Anhu City and the savages in the city in front of you as experienced sisters in the red tent, pat lightly:

Come on, let's continue with a change of posture.

In Uncle Zheng's view, it was the experience in this world and the ups and downs that changed him and made him become like this;

But in the eyes of the demon kings, it was the freedom of this world that allowed the Lord to restore his inner nature.

In short,

Under the order of Uncle Hirano, the Yan army, which had already completely attacked the western city wall, began to withdraw its troops.

The ladder was also transported down by itself, and the arrow tower was pushed back.

The battering ram, which worked too well, moved back silently after smashing open the city gate.

All the soldiers and horses are retreating in an orderly manner.

Li Fusheng narrowed his eyes and said in admiration:

Brother Zheng's military training method, brother and I, admire it. When Lord Hou led us to fight, he taught us that it is not difficult to attack like a tiger, but it is true when retreating in an orderly manner. Elite.

Although this was a retreat after a successful siege, it could be done so rigorously in all aspects. It can be said that this army is no less inferior to Jingnan and Zhenbei.

Even if there is a gap, it may just be some difference in the individual quality of the soldiers, which is also caused by some restrictions on the receiving of soldiers under Zheng Fan's command.

However, this is just a flaw, and the most important thing is that Li Fusheng himself knows that after several battles in the past few years, many old soldiers under his command either died in battle or were injured and left the army. After recruits came in, Although it seems that there is no obvious decline in combat effectiveness, he, the chief soldier, can detect the real deep-seated changes.

After a hundred battles, veterans wither.

In addition to withering, there is also corruption.

The Zhenbei army used to eat sand in Beifeng County. After being transferred to the capital, Li Fusheng clearly felt the transformation of his soldiers and horses. After entering Jindi and stationing one side, this transformation was even more obvious.

The days are getting better, and I have seen the real world of flowers and flowers. What I see in my eyes is no longer the big and round old ladies in the red curtains in Beifeng County, but the charming women who start to go to brothels;

Therefore, Li Fusheng firmly supports the attack on Chu. Unlike the general direction Yanhuang saw, Li Fusheng is worried that the soldiers and horses under his command in Beifeng County will be worn down in a few years. Dispersed.

The best way to solve this problem is not to rest, not to stop, to continue to fight, to fight non-stop, to instill murderous aura in the soldiers and horses under your command, and let them experience the baptism of blood and fire.

In the end, it doesn't matter much if the two kingdoms of Gan and Chu are destroyed, and then they fall again.

Li Fusheng's thoughts are so simple.

Next, the one who chose to attack was the southern city wall.

And the siege team was replaced by soldiers and horses under Li Fusheng's command.

at the same time,

In order to avoid the previous situation where the savages didn't work hard and slack off, which greatly reduced the effect of the drill, Uncle Zheng found two captives and asked them to go to the city to talk.

The words are simple:

Yan Jun, you can accept your surrender, but all nobles and leaders must be executed!

Therefore, in the next second round of siege, even though Li Fusheng personally commanded it, the overall effect was much worse than the first time.

If it was said that the Xuehaiguan soldiers under Uncle Zheng's command moved like flowing water when they attacked the city, then the soldiers under Li Fusheng's command really stumbled when they attacked the city.

And even if Uncle Zheng sent someone to convey the news of additional ingredients to them, they still didn't take it seriously.

Zhenbei Army is indeed a proud soldier.

Even if it was the first defeat at Wangjiang, it was the Left Route Army that was defeated. The Zhenbei Army led by Li Bao was the rear of the First Prince, and the fight was really good and beyond reproach.

So, they are really too proud.

After seeing how easy the western city wall was attacked before, their attack this time really underestimated the enemy.

It's fine to underestimate the enemy, but he didn't even do the basic siege operation well.

The trebuchet smashed two rounds, and after hearing the screams of the savages on the city wall, a captain was eager to make a contribution. Perhaps he saw that Uncle Hirano was here, so he also wanted to shine as a captain, so he didn't wait for the shield player. With the suppression of the rear arrow tower and the siege crossbow, he directly led his men to carry the ladder up.

But this time, the will to fight inspired by the savages was really strong, the arrows suddenly increased, and the savages on the city wall began to replenish from below.

The attack on the ladder was blocked all of a sudden, but the captain was a hero, so he went up first in his armor, trying to make a breakthrough on the city wall.

He did indeed, and under his leadership, more than a dozen soldiers of the Yan army followed him to open up a situation.

But because they were too aggressive, the rhythm and the follow-up troops were not unified. They succeeded in occupying a position on the city wall but failed to wait for the timely follow-up to help them tear this side apart, making them always in a state of being outnumbered on the city wall.

In the end, the school lieutenant died on the city wall with several knives and arrows in his body.

As a last resort, Li Fusheng could only order the trebuchet to throw another round, and then retreat.

It's not impossible to continue fighting, because the Yan army is strong and the savages are weak. Even if the savages show momentum for a while, if the Yan army continues to suppress, the savages will collapse sooner or later, repeating the previous scene on the west wall.

But the more Li Fusheng commanded, the more his brain hurts. At the same time, he also knew that if he fought hard, he could earn face for himself, but it might cause more damage. It was not worthwhile to cause unnecessary damage to his subordinates because of his own face. .

But it didn't matter if the troops were withdrawn, the remaining nearly a hundred soldiers under the lieutenant's command didn't retreat according to the sound of the call to withdraw troops from the rear, but continued to climb the ladder and continued to kill.

The reason is that the Zhenbei Army has extremely strict military discipline.

If the battle is defeated, the master will die and the survivors will be killed without mercy!

This is the iron law that the Zhenbei Army has always followed, and it is obvious that when the radical captain died in battle, the soldiers under his command were already crazy, because they instinctively believed that retreating would also mean death, rather than It is better to rush to the savages than to be killed by one of your own people.

From point to point, the actions of this group of people involved the other Yan troops who were about to retreat. They hesitated for a while, lost their robes and continued to retreat.

Therefore, a completely different scene from the orderly retreat when Uncle Zheng ordered the retreat appeared. When the Yan army under Li Fusheng retreated, it was completely out of touch.

The archer was still thinking about responding to Pao Ze, but the shield player had already retreated behind the archer.

The pace is chaotic, step by step.

In the end, Li Fusheng gritted his teeth and continued to order the withdrawal of troops, while at the same time sent his personal troops to take the initiative to respond, and after losing a lot of troops, this messy siege drill was considered to be over.

At this time, Liang Cheng, who was already standing beside Zheng Fan, said:

Actually, Li Fusheng himself has a lot of problems. He may be really unfamiliar with the command of siege warfare, and he saw that we did a good job before, so he instinctively wanted to follow our rhythm.

But in fact, when the school captain climbed the tower, Li Fusheng could have ordered the front line to cover up and kill him completely. It would not be a big problem to clean up the city wall, but he was still there step by step.

As for the trouble caused by the subsequent order to withdraw troops, it was still because Li Fusheng's soldiers and horses were accustomed to the field battle style and thinking habits, and they had not yet switched to the siege aspect. To be precise, they actually did not have this consciousness.

Zheng Fan nodded and said, This should be a headache for Tian Wujing. By the way, do you think Tian Wujing will attack the city?

Liang Cheng was silent.

Well, what's the matter, just tell the truth, don't save face for him.

My lord, my subordinates feel that the Marquis of Jingnan's military habits are actually more suitable for siege warfare than fighting cavalry in field battles.

oh.

Uncle Zheng understands,

road:

So you were trying to save face just now?

Because I asked a stupid question in the eyes of masters of war like you.

The subordinates dare not.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. Let's practice here. When we defeat Chu, there must be some practice. I heard that when Nian Yao from Dachu was guarding Zhennan Pass and playing chess with Tian Wujing, it can be said that Quite cowardly.

Judging from the information and what Uncle Zheng personally saw and heard when he walked around Zhennan Pass,

The great general Nian Yao who had captured several princes alive during the chaos of the great Chu princes, in Zhennan Pass, it can be said that he has practiced the kung fu of shrinking his head to the extreme.

The Yan people provoked him, he was building the city;

The people of Yan clamored that he was building the city;

The weather is good, he is repairing the city;

The weather is not good, and he is also forcibly continuing to build the city.

Therefore, after his tenure, he not only built two fortified military strongholds on the east and west sides of Zhennan Pass, but also built two fortified military strongholds on the north side of Zhennan Pass, imitating Anhu City and Dadie City besides Xueguan Pass. Two castles were built.

The reason why Tian Wujing’s soldiers came to suppress the country at the beginning of the year was to support Uncle Zheng who was doing something in Chu State, but he was definitely doing something;

On the other hand, it is also discovered that this general of Chu State actually wants to continue to build the city outside!

Therefore, the Yan army was dispatched, which reduced the radiating range of Zhennanguan's influence, and made Nian Yao's plan to continue to build the city outside. It is reported that foundations were already being laid in two places at that time.

So,

Facing Chu is not only about fighting a Zhennan Pass, it also needs to conquer a small castle like Anhu City in front of you.

It is impossible for Lao Tian to not know what Yan Jun under his command is good at and what he is not good at, so similar teaching exercises will inevitably continue in Chu Chu.

If you are not good at something, you can learn it in the meat grinder. In this environment, you must learn something quickly.

It's like the college entrance examination of later generations. If you don't do well in the exam and you are shot, you may not be able to get the number one, but it is definitely much better than not being shot.

At this time,

Li Fusheng, who had finished withdrawing troops, came over with a dark face.

He was really angry, so angry that he was about to explode.

shame,

What a shame!

Soldiers, in fact, are the most face-saving, even if they don't say it, they are actually competing openly and secretly;

This time, Li Fusheng completely gave Zheng Fan's Snow Navy the previous drill, and came a negative demonstration of the opposite.

When Li Fusheng came to Zheng Fan,

Zheng Fan said directly:

Brother, when you climbed the city wall on that side, you shouldn't stick to the formality, and directly ordered the front line to cover and kill...

Li Fusheng listened patiently to Zheng Fan's words, his expression slowly regained his composure.

Liang Cheng nodded slightly beside him. In terms of interpersonal communication, he found that he was getting farther and farther away from the master's level.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is impolite and extremely offensive to analyze the mistakes the other party has just made face to face.

But for a person like Li Fusheng, the last thing he needs is false comfort.

He is a very pragmatic general, so it is actually the best way to ease the embarrassment if the Lord directly helps him analyze the previous problems.

Learn, learn.

Liang Cheng sighed in his heart.

As for the small things that the Lord said to Li Fusheng now seemed to be 99% similar to what he said before, he didn't care.

After listening to Zheng Fan's words,

Li Fusheng nodded heavily,

road:

Yeah, self-centeredness, there are really many problems. Fortunately, this time it is not the city of the Chu people, otherwise, like just now, our losses will be magnified countless times.

Take it as tuition fee payment, oh no, it's Shu Xiu.

Yes, yes, that's a good statement, and it makes sense. Alas, brother Zheng, brother, I really found out that I'm really so many years older than you.

Brother, between you and me, there is no need to say these things anymore. Let's order to bury the pot and make a meal, and then call the generals under your command to make a summary.

Okay, I'll listen to you. In this way, you, I can't invite you. You send me one of your subordinates that you think is most handy for siege warfare. Let him tell us again, and I will listen to it. .”

Zheng Fan pointed at Liang Cheng who was standing beside him,

road:

Just him, he, I have a lot of true biography.

...

after nightfall,

Uncle Zheng came to the tent where the Savage King was.

Uncle Zheng was not in a hurry to go in first, but asked He Chunlai to take a look first. After learning that Sang Hu was not in the tent, Uncle Zheng went in.

immediately,

Dozens of personal guards stood guard outside the tent with knives.

The Savage King was still sitting there, but the chain in his hand was untied, and he was eating.

Cooked by Fan Li, a hodgepodge.

Seeing Zheng Fan coming, Savage Wang smiled and said, Have you eaten, Uncle?

have eaten.

Zheng Fan sat on the ground.

Uncle has worked hard today. Gou Moli said with a smile, But I have a small suggestion, can you give Sang Hu a chance to lead his subordinates to practice siege?

Uncle, you know that most of us Xueyuan people have only seen three cities in this life;

Anhu City, Dadie City and Snow Customs.

The Savage King knew what Zheng Fan was doing today. He was taking the life of the Savage to sharpen the knife for the Yan army.

But the Savage King was not angry, and even wanted to actively join.

This, don't worry, in the future, there will be opportunities. Zheng Fan said.

What uncle said is that there will indeed be opportunities in the future. Gou Moli said with a smile.

In the siege, everything can be lacking, but there will be no shortage of dead people.

Moreover, even if it is a dead person, his corpse is still useful.

The corpses of the dead can be used to refine oil for fire oil, or simply throw the corpses into the city with a trebuchet, causing a plague in the city.

Uncle and this general Li Fusheng have a good relationship?

Goo Moli.

The subordinates are here.

You know that I have been in the Yan Army for so long, and what touched me the most, do you know what it is?

Please enlighten me, uncle.

In the Yan army, even though they have their own hilltops, they can hand over their backs to Paoze when fighting.

It's really rare, but, uncle...

you say.

That's also because you have to meet noble people from the beginning, so you don't have to care about those nonsense things, and later, you got the attention of Jingnan Hou, so naturally no one will get in your way in this regard.

When the water is clear, there are no fish. There is nothing new under the sun.

Hearing this, Zheng Fan frowned slightly.

After careful consideration,

Uncle Zheng really recalled that in the Yan army, the friendly army he had personally experienced would not save him.

That was Deng Ziliang, general Deng Ziliang, who was beheaded by Zhong Tianlang of the Qian Kingdom at night.

However, in that incident, it was Uncle Zheng's Green Willow Fort that refused to save the friendly army and deliberately preserved its strength.

Because of this incident, Uncle Zheng was beaten by the Marquis of Jingnan.

so,

It's not that Uncle Zheng didn't meet Pao Ze who stabbed a knife in the back, but because the one who stabbed a knife was himself.

When you find that the surroundings are all white, it is very likely that the black spot is you.

But this example, this black history, Uncle Zheng will not bring it up again, it is meaningless.

Uncle, this time the army is out of the fortress, and the gains must be not small, but it is impossible for the army to stay here for too long, so the subordinates feel that after pulling out some tribes' pastures and taking away their livestock and people, they can Taking advantage of this Tianwei, directly apportion the other tribes, let them take the initiative to send cattle, sheep and young adults.

They are used to bullying and fearing the hard, and when they hit the gong, their legs will be weak immediately, and the subordinates can draw up a list for the uncle.

Okay, this matter, you can figure it out.

Uncle Xie, my subordinates will never let uncle down.

When the real battle begins, I will untie all the chains on you.

Uncle is so gracious and virtuous, my subordinates will be treated like cows and horses in the next life...

Then wouldn't it be more convenient for me to send you to the next life directly?

... Gou Moli.

…

the next day,

The Yan army attacked the city again in the morning and withdrew at noon; attacked the city again in the afternoon and withdrew at dusk.

On the third day, the soldiers and horses of the Jin battalion attacked the city;

On the fourth day, continue to attack the city;

the fifth day,

There is no way to continue the siege.

Because there is no food in the city,

Moreover, Yan Jun's way of playing is too terrible for the mental torture of the savages in the city, it is simply a devil!

The Yan people occupied the city wall again and again, retreated again and again, and then attacked again and again, which is simply not something that humans can do!

finally,

The savages in Anhu City mutinied, and after killing all their leaders and nobles, they took the initiative to leave the city and knelt down on the field, completely giving up resistance.

Tsk tsk, there's no more fun.

Li Fusheng said with some regret that he had just found the feeling of commanding a siege.

immediately,

Li Fusheng looked at Uncle Zheng beside him,

road:

Let's change to another city, called Dadie City, right?

Well, but don't rush.

No rush? What are you going to do?

Uncle Zheng smiled,

road:

Send some food to Dadie City first, so that they can eat something so that they can have the strength to defend the city.
