The strongest Marquis in history

Cheng Mao paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, a slight panic appeared on his face.The food in the military camp is only about four days' food, and the army's food for about four days is really too little.

As soon as the news gets out, the army may mutiny.

This is what Cheng Mao wants to solve.

Not long after, the soldiers came back.It's just that the soldier's face was full of panic, and he said: "General, something is wrong, the military adviser is dead."

"what?"

Cheng Mao couldn't help but exclaimed.

He couldn't bear it anymore, and hurried out of the tent, going to Zeng Tong's tent.

Chapter 309 Desperate

When he entered the camp, he saw the dead body lying on the ground. It was obvious that Zeng Tong had been dead for a long time, his face was like the bottom of a pot, and his eyes were even more solemn.

Cheng Mao squatted down, looked at Zeng Tong carefully, looked at Zeng Tong's severed neck, and looked at the dark red blood on the ground, he sighed, waved his hands and said, "Take the military commander down to bury him."

"Yes!"

The soldiers got the order and immediately brought people to move Zeng Tong away.

Cheng Mao, with his hands behind his back, went straight back to the main tent of the Chinese army.When he returned, Liu Xun and the soldiers under his command had all returned, and each of them had solemn expressions on their faces, even panicked expressions.

They all got the news that the granary was burned.

One by one, six gods have no master.

Liu Xun took the initiative and said, "Marshal, now that the granary behind has been destroyed, what should we do now?"

Cheng Maodao: "What else can I do? Do you have a plan to defeat the enemy right now?"

Liu Xun gritted his teeth and said, "Commander, the only way is to put all your eggs in one basket and attack Linzi by force. In Linzi City, there is Lu Shengqi's granary. As long as we break Linzi City, we will still be the winner."

Cheng Mao said: "Of course I know that by breaking Linzi City, we can reverse the situation. The problem is, when the news of the granary being burned, you all panicked, let alone the soldiers? The soldiers have no fighting spirit. Under such circumstances, it is not an easy task to break Linzi."

Liu Xun fell silent.

The same goes for the rest of the people.

The expressions on each face were full of worry and hesitation.

After all, at the moment, the situation is unfavorable.

After Liu Xun was silent for a while, he suddenly said again: "Marshal, what you just said is indeed reasonable. Our army is indeed unstable and its combat effectiveness is weak."

"The problem is, we have no choice."

"This time in the Qingzhou turmoil, the imperial court arranged for us to suppress the bandits. We did not succeed in suppressing the bandits. Instead, all the food in the granary was burned and returned to the imperial court. If the news was sent back to the imperial court, we would all be questioned."

"Everyone will be implicated."

Liu Xun said: "Especially the commander-in-chief, you are in charge of the army, and it is even more to blame. So at the moment, I think we have no choice but to fight."

The rest of the people were thoughtful when they heard the words.

What Liu Xun said makes sense.

Now, they have no choice at all.

If you want to retreat, the court will question you.

It can only be another fight.

After hearing this, Cheng Mao's cold and solemn expression also became a bit more dignified and a bit more agreeable.

He cannot retreat.

Once you retreat, it's over.

Cheng Mao is not an indecisive person, so he immediately made a decision and ordered: "All generals obey orders!"

Everyone stood still in awe.

Everyone looked at Cheng Mao, waiting for Cheng Mao's order.

Cheng Mao ordered: "Call all the troops and gather in the army. The commander-in-chief will give a lecture."

"Yes!"

Everyone retreated separately.

It's all about drawing soldiers to gather.

In this battle, they have no choice but to fight.

The soldiers went to arrange, and in a short time, all the soldiers gathered.

Nearly [-] people gathered in the school grounds, overwhelming the sky and covering the sky, and there were groups of people in a dark crowd. At a glance, they couldn't see the situation behind them.Fortunately, all the soldiers lined up next to each other.

So although there are hundreds of thousands of people covering a vast area, at least in this extremely quiet scene, many people can hear Cheng Mao shouting.

Cheng Mao himself, although not a master, is also a first-class master.His true energy circulated, and his shouting voice was thick and loud enough for everyone to hear.

Cheng Mao is now standing in the center of the crowd.

He has soldiers on all sides.

If Cheng Mao stood at the forefront of all the soldiers, and a hundred thousand people lined up, the soldiers at the back might not be able to hear them.

Today, at least the vast majority of soldiers can hear clearly.

Cheng Mao topped his helmet and threw off his armor, with a solemn expression on his face.He turned around and glanced at all the soldiers, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Soldiers, I just got the news that our granary in Jiushanling has been burned. 20 shi of grain was ordered by Lu Shengqi People were burned. In our army, there is only four days' food left."

Whoa! !

The entire army was in an uproar.

All the soldiers were extremely shocked.

In fact, news had spread in the army earlier, and many soldiers knew that the granary in the rear caught fire and the food was burned.

But right now, Cheng Mao directly admitted it.

The message is confirmed.

Everyone looked extremely panicked, because they started to lack food.

Cheng Mao was not surprised when he saw this scene.He had known this result when he ordered all the soldiers to be summoned earlier, and there must have been an uproar when the news came out.

Cheng Mao stood quietly without saying a word.

Let the soldiers speak.

Let the soldiers vent.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable, so it is extremely normal for the soldiers to panic.

Because Cheng Mao kept silent, gradually, as time passed, the buzzing noise at the beginning gradually became smaller, and pairs of eyes began to fall on Cheng Mao.

They were all waiting for Cheng Mao to speak.

Let's see what decision Cheng Mao makes.

At this time, Cheng Mao called out for silence, and everyone stopped talking.

In the school grounds, there was silence.

At this moment in the school grounds, there was only a faint sound of breathing, and no one spoke.

Cheng Mao took a deep breath and said: "Our granary has been burned. And there are many thieves and bandits in the rear of Yanzhou. Right now, we are faced with two choices."

"The first option is to retreat immediately."

"Exit Qingzhou."

"This choice is the simplest. We can flee back. But with this choice, once our army returns to the court, all of us will be sinners."

Cheng Mao talked eloquently, and continued: "From the commander in chief, to every general in the army, they will all be questioned. As for all the soldiers at the bottom of your ranks, they will also be held accountable."

"Although you will not be killed if you are questioned, you will be branded as losers on your body."

"Even, being looked down upon by countless people."

"It's also possible that they were sent to build rivers, the Great Wall, etc. In short, if you want to change your identity, it will be difficult."

Cheng Mao said: "In short, as long as we retreat, we will lose this battle in Qingzhou. The whole court will be angry and will target our army. Since then, we will never be able to hold our heads up again. As long as you speak out, say it's me Cheng Mao's soldiers will be looked down upon."

After some words were spoken, many people started discussing again.

Liu Xun and the others heard it and pondered over Cheng Mao's intentions.

They all know now that Cheng Mao is definitely preparing to fight with all his eggs in one basket.But the key is to let all the soldiers cheer up and fight to the death again.

Only in this way can there be a chance of survival.

After breaking Linzi, everything turned around.

If they can't break Linzi, they are losers. Even if they evacuate and withdraw from Qingzhou, they will be questioned.

Cheng Mao raised his hand and pressed down, signaling all the soldiers to be quiet.Then, Cheng Maogao said again: "Of course, we still have a second choice right now. This is our last chance."

Chapter 310 Bewitched

In the army, Cheng Mao has always been famous for his love for soldiers like his son.At the end of every battle, Cheng Mao would patrol the army, comfort the wounded soldiers, and register the dead soldiers.

That's why soldiers are willing to trust Cheng Mao.

Just like this, the granary was burned, and although the soldiers were flustered, they never mutinied.

This is Cheng Mao's prestige.

Cheng Mao's eyes were sharp, and he said again: "Soldiers, we still have four days of food. For the time being, we will not be short of food, and our only chance is to directly attack Lu Shengqi and break Linzi within these four days."

"In Linzi City, there is plenty of food."

"As long as Linzi City is broken, we can get food and reverse this unfavorable situation."

"As long as we break Linzi City, we will defeat Lu Shengqi. Although our granary was burned, we still made great contributions and are still heroes. We will not be held accountable for the granary being burned."

"As long as we break Linzi, we don't have to withdraw our troops, and we won't be held accountable."

"We will stand again."

Cheng Mao's voice became more and more passionate, and said: "Of course, many people also said that we have no food and we are in a disadvantageous position. Yes, we have no large amount of food, but four days, for us, it is already enough."

"We have hundreds of thousands of people."

"The reason why the attack was blocked yesterday was because only eight thousand elites were sent to attack."

"But today, once we go to attack again, we will go all out without any hesitation. We will kill them all and go straight to Lu Shengqi's Linzi City."

There was bewitchment in Cheng Mao's words, and he said: "As long as we break Linzi City in the end, we will win. In this battle, we will stabilize the situation."

The current situation is actually very unfavorable.

However, in order to reverse the defeat, Cheng Mao had to take a surprise move and make a dangerous move.

Cheng Mao bewitched: "Our military strength far exceeds that of Lu Shengqi. Lu Shengqi's military strength has always been insufficient. Especially after continuous fighting, Lu Shengqi's military strength is now only 4 to [-]."

"There are a hundred thousand of us."

"It can be said that there are many soldiers and many generals, and the strength is strong. Just imagine, can three or four of us kill a soldier of Lu Shengqi, and we can't win?"

"In the past, it was for the sake of stability that we kept fighting and suppressing Lu Shengqi. Since we can't do it now, we should change our strategy. Right now, we will kill him directly and the victory will be determined in one battle."

Cheng Mao said: "We will definitely win this battle. Therefore, I will fight to the death."

"Fight to the death!"

Standing in the crowd, Liu Xun immediately shouted.

Generals like Liu Xun are all direct descendants of Cheng Mao, so they can only follow Cheng Mao.

Cheng Mao fell, and they had a hard time.

So Cheng Mao fought to the death, and they also fought to the death, so when Liu Xun began to shout to the end, the generals followed suit.Immediately afterwards, many soldiers began to echo and shout.

"Fight to the death!"
