838 A soldier who surrenders without a fight
Pei Xingyan was proud: "Can this be wrong?" All of them have been caught, and a thousand delicate beauties, none of them have run away! Brother Zhen, what kind of anesthetic crossbow you let people develop is really enjoyable to use, if it weren't for the fact that the process of producing narcotic bullets is too cumbersome, what is the difficulty of capturing 300,000 Tang troops alive! Not to mention that there are more powerful weapons waiting for them. ”
Zhen Mingku didn't care what he said at all, his mouth was open enough to stuff two eggs: "You arrested them into the city?" ”
Pei Xingyan smiled proudly: "If you don't catch them in the city, can't you let them go back?" ”
Zhen Ming asked anxiously, "Who is guarding them?" ”
"Don't worry, they're all disarmed, they're all unarmoured, they're guarded by thousands of special forces, and they can't escape if they want to."
"You took off their armor?"
"Take it off."
"They're wearing only light shirts and underwear?"
A hint of admiration flashed in Pei Xingyan's eyes, obviously recalling the scene of disarming them and taking off their armor, and sighed: "I really didn't expect that they were only wearing underwear under their armor, and those bastards would be polite to them if they didn't take the opportunity to strip them naked." ”
Zhen Mingku was completely desperate, and slapped his forehead painfully: "It's over!" ”
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves at the door, and a herald rushed into the camp tent with a crawl, knelt on the ground with a thud, and burst into tears: "The guards of the women's army and others all mutinied and ran away with a thousand women's army!" ”
All the generals present were stunned, their mouths wide open, why not close for a long time.
The fat dragon's expression was sluggish, and it took a while to react. Muttered to himself: "I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it a long time ago, how did I believe them......"
Then. He turned back to the herald and asked, "How much did you run?" ”
The herald said in a panic: "There are more than 1,000 people in the special combat team, and I heard from those who stayed behind that most of the people who escaped with the women's army were some singles without families. ”
"Why didn't you run along?"
The herald said with some regret: "The little one went home from vacation yesterday. ”
Pei Xingyan kicked over: "Get out of here!" ”
The herald went out, and the fat dragon turned his head with a sad face, looked at Zhen Mingku, and said, "No more bastards." How are we going to fight this battle? If those women's troops were to turn against the enemy camp, we would really be shooting ourselves in the foot. ”
Zhen Mingku quickly calmed down and shook his head: "I'm not worried about this. They will definitely not do anything without purpose or benefit, even if they put a knife on their necks, let alone let them come to war with us. ”
The fat dragon breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It's just that I'm still a little worried: "How should this matter be handled?" ”
Zhen Mingku lowered his head and pondered for a while. Then he turned back to Zhen Dengshan on the side and said: "Dengshan, you are responsible for asking the Military Propaganda Department to post a notice in the whole city, saying that our army will show its might, surrender a thousand women's army, and turn the enemy into wives. In addition, ten taels of silver can be received from the quartermaster office as a wedding fee. ”
Xing'er on the side said angrily when she heard this: "How can anyone post such a boring notice!" The battle has made you fight like this. It's nonsense! ”
Zhen Dengshan was stunned for a while, then showed a sudden look, and smiled and gave the order to the propaganda team.
……
On the castle tower of Liyang City.
Zhen Mingku, who had changed into a military uniform, had already washed up, his face was as usual, and he looked in the direction where the Tang army was encamped.
More than a dozen miles away, it is the place where hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tang Army are stationed.
Looking at it, the corners of his mouth gradually showed a strange smile, and he said to himself: "Ling Shuang, Ling Shuang, you have exhausted your calculations, I'm afraid that even you didn't expect this kind of result, right?" 1,000 soldiers, in exchange for your 1,000 elite women's army, I'm worried about how to send this group of foodies who are easy and tired, I didn't expect you to help me, and I was glued to this group of scoundrels, no matter how shrewd you are, I'm afraid that it's a meat bun and a dog, and there is no return, I have a lot of oil here, but your women's army is an army in ten years, I want to see what expression you have on your face at this time, whether you can still smile so beautifully and moving. ”
At this time, Li Daliang and others came up and stood beside him.
Zhen Ming looked bitterly at the Tang army camp outside the city, and asked lightly: "What methods do you think Li Jiancheng will take to attack the city after suffering this loss?" ”
Liu Heimin said with a smile: "Without the women's army, the current Tang army is a toothless tiger, a behemoth, the tail is too big, the grain and grass eaten by the soldiers every day alone makes the whole army unbearable, if I am Li Jiancheng, with this seemingly majestic army of 100,000, there is only one way to win the battle, that is, let the other party fight hard with themselves, let the army press on the whole line, in this way, not only consume the opponent's combat power, but also reduce the pressure of their own food and grass, hurt the enemy by 1,000, self-damage 800, and fight is the advantage of more people, At the expense of casualties to capture Liyang, in order to open the door to Jianghuai, Jiangnan is not in the pocket of the Jianghuai army at that time. ”
Li Daliang sighed on the side: "It's a pity that Li Jiancheng is not you, otherwise you wouldn't have done such a stupid thing as throwing stones and asking for directions with the three thousand women's army, and now I am frightened by our ballistas, I am afraid that I dare not attack the city easily, the art of war is cloudy, ten are to surround it, five to attack it, twice to fight, less to defend it, the Tang army is ten times more than me, if Li Jiancheng is familiar with the art of war, I am afraid that the only way to besiege the city is next." ”
Zhen Ming said lightly: "If you read the military book to death, then he will lose." ”
……
Since the Tang army was captured by all the vanguard troops, it really did not make any more large-scale siege moves.
Every few days, Li Jiancheng would send a small team of nearly 1,000 men and horses, nearly a thousand meters away from the city wall, and outside the range of the ballistas, shouting in unison.
If there was no response from the Jianghuai troops defending the city, they would go forward a hundred meters and shout all kinds of ridicule and insults that they had memorized so well, like a loudspeaker, and broadcast them day and night.
Sometimes they also changed their tricks to publicize the welfare of the Tang Army, praised Li Jiancheng for cherishing the generals, eating with the soldiers, sleeping together, sharing weal and woe, and advancing and retreating together. What a desolate fate will happen to those who resist?
The defenders on the walls of Liyang all turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear, just waiting for them to get close to the range of the ballistas. Only one or two shots or incendiary bombs were fired to scare them.
Having seen the terrifying power of exploding and incendiary bombs, these propaganda teams no longer dared to approach easily.
Later, the voice of the nearly 1,000-member tweeter team gradually lost its majestic and high-pitched voice at the beginning, and became weak.
Especially when they were under the scorching sun, they were powerlessly promoting how good the welfare of the Tang Army was, but the Liyang defenders on the city tower were sitting under strange sun umbrellas. Drinking cold drinks, enjoying the girls dressed up in fancy clothes singing and dancing for them, and presenting wonderful condolence performances. They began to doubt what they were saying.
The generous welfare benefits of the Jianghuai Army spread like a plague through the mouths of these declared traditional war teams throughout the Tang Army.
At this time, the Jianghuai army just learned the strategy of the Tang army, and a group of beauties dressed in flowers stood at the head of the city and happily recited: "The Jianghuai soldiers are well treated." Three meals a day to your heart's content. There are also beauties for you to do; Jianghuai soldiers have many benefits, medical housing and pension, and work-related injuries do not worry about the boss; The salary of JAC soldiers is high, there is not much overtime and no money, and the year-end bonus makes you smile......"
"Join the JAC Army and achieve your life dreams, hurry up and join, come and send a luxury bag." There are surprises waiting for you! ”
The beauties blinked collectively and kissed the cute appearance all over the sky. Anyone would think that one of the contents of this luxury gift package is these beauties.
When the propaganda slogan was first released, the hot female medical officers of the Jianghuai Army almost did not riot en masse, and they condemned the bad slogan of using women as bargaining chips and disrespecting women.
Facts have proved that although the slogan is vulgar, the persuasive power of the beauty is real, and the effect is better than the effect of 100,000 taels of gold piled on the city wall.
During the two months of the Tang army's siege of the city, there were more than 10,000 Tang troops who secretly escaped from the Tang army, lost their armor and abandoned their armor, and defected to the Jianghuai army, all of whom were conscripted into the army by the Li family or surrendered from other forces.
The first to take refuge was, of course, the Tang Army propaganda team, which endured the teasing of many beauties in the city every day and was poisoned the most.
Today, the 1,000 Tang Army propaganda team is standing on the wall of Liyang City, still shouting propaganda slogans, but what they are shouting at this time is the Jianghuai Army's surrender, which is more diligent and more high-pitched than in the Tang Army.
A thousand sentences of lofty ideals are not as attractive as a sentence "beauties are allowed to do anything", as for whether they are allowed to do anything, it was only when they arrived in the Jianghuai Army that they found that the so-called beauties were actually beauties who let them do, not beauties who let them do.
It's not their flesh that the beauties, it's the beauties who prick them with gold needles.
They waited eagerly for the beautiful women to them, but the luckiest thing was just to wait for the angry beautiful nurse to take the veterinary syringe and give them a needle.
At this time, it was too late for them to regret it, and it was much better to be pricked by a beautiful nurse than to be pricked with a gun by a Jianghuai soldier.
……
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
The weather in December has gradually become colder.
Li Jiancheng finally couldn't hold his breath and launched a large-scale attack of tens of thousands of people, but at this time, the Tang army's spirit had already been exhausted by the cold weather, and the attack launched was also listless.
It was a hot summer day when they came, and they were wearing little clothing, coupled with cold armor, and when they were drenched by the rain, they all formed a thick layer of ice, which froze together with their skin, and when they took off, they were covered with belt flesh.
In contrast, the Jianghuai Army was too relaxed and leisurely, wearing a thick cotton jacket and holding a short-range repeating anesthetic crossbow developed by the Jianghuai Military Factory, like hunting, aiming and shooting, and even Shan Yunying, who had always been disdainful of Zhen's bitter combat methods, couldn't help but come up and practice shooting.
The scene is like a war, it looks like a group of people are playing hunting, and the Tang army under the city is like a prey raised in captivity.
The Tang army besieging the city could no longer withstand this physical and psychological torture, and they threw away their armor one after another, either kneeling and surrendering, or turning around and fleeing.
Fools can see that the Tang army at this time has collapsed without a fight. (To be continued......)
