1178. Chapter 1178

"Protect the grain and grass, and never let them burn the grain and grass, come here, shoot arrows, shoot arrows for me......"

Liu Bai finally understood Tang Zhou's intentions, but it was too late. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were a lot of kites, and the food and grass were burned soon after the fire ball fell, and all they could do was put out the fire.

But there is not much water in the vicinity, and they will bring water when they march and fight, but it is only a small part, and it is okay to drink or cook, but not to fight fires.

There was a river a mile from the barracks, and they could go there to get water, but it was obviously too much of a waste of time.

The fire spread in the barracks, and there were many people fighting the fire, but there were also people who were engulfed in the fire, and the fire was strong with the wind, and there was a tendency to sweep away.

The arrow went into the air, the kite flew into the distance, and the fire was finally extinguished, and the damage was there, but it was not particularly large, but it was not small.

Liu Bai looked at the military camp that was still smoking, and couldn't help but cough violently again, until he coughed up blood.

He clenched his fists tightly, and on the first night he came, Tang Zhou burned down his military camp, hateful, hateful.

But Liu Bai knows very well that now he must cheer up, and he must keep his soldiers morale, otherwise it will be difficult to capture the Sword Gate.

The day was getting brighter, Liu Bai was accompanied by Yuan Fu to inspect, the morale of the soldiers was a little low, and many people did not rest well, with a tired face on their faces.

After seeing this, Liu Bai sighed lightly, and then ordered someone to arrange for these people to rest.

He has no faith with these soldiers, or he has, but these soldiers don't, so it is impossible for him to say some bold words to inspire these soldiers, and these soldiers are not defending their homes and the country, they are just fighting for the interests of Liu Bai.

Therefore, it is impossible to say bold words, and if you want to make these people murderous, you can only use other methods.

First, be kind to them and make them feel warm.

Other than that, it's about motivating with money.

Liu Bai ordered people to prepare money, and formulated a set of rules, those who can kill a Tang army, the reward is consistent, those who can attack the city wall, the reward is five times, the person who can kill a Tang general, the reward is ten times, and the person who can kill Tang Zhou will be rewarded with a thousand times.

And so on, Liu Bai formulated a very detailed set of money rules, as long as you can make meritorious contributions, you can immediately get the most practical benefits.

And this rule does work.

People die for money, birds die for food, this truth will never go out of style.

Through these, Liu Bai successfully stimulated the morale of the soldiers again, but he was not in a hurry to attack the Sword Gate.

Everyone was too tired last night, and they must not attack during the day today, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to them, in his opinion, since the morale has been restored, it is better to be prepared, and then capture the Sword Gate Pass in one fell swoop.

Of course, he also learned to be smart, in order to prevent the Tang family from attacking again like last night, he sent people to set up secret sentries around, as long as he found anything unusual, whether it was heavenly or earthly, he would immediately report it.

As long as they rest until tomorrow, they will have a chance to capture the Sword Gate.

And just when Liu Bai was trying to restore the morale of the soldiers, Tang Zhou was celebrating his achievements.

It is true that they did not destroy too many enemy troops last night, but they did lack the enemy's food and grass, and let them run for a night, which is a victory for them.

When celebrating, Cheng Chu said silently: "It's better to do this way, why don't we do it again tonight?" ”

"That's it, this is a good solution, let's do it again, the custody can make the rebels exhausted."

Tang Zhou smiled, shook his head and said: "You think Liu Bai is a fool, this method is okay to use once, it won't work twice, with my inference, Liu Bai may launch a general attack tomorrow, let's all rest well today, let's get ready tomorrow." ”

Tang Zhou said plainly, but no one would ignore what he said, since he said that Liu Bai would attack Jianmen Pass tomorrow, it would definitely be.

After everyone celebrated, they each made arrangements according to their own tasks, so that Liu Bai would not take advantage of this battle.

They are still self-aware.

The rebels have 40,000 soldiers and horses, and they have 10,000 soldiers, and they will definitely not have an advantage if they fight hard, so they have not thought about destroying the enemy army, and their purpose now is only to hold the Jianmen Pass and consume the rebels in Shuzhong.

Although they did not have reinforcements to come again, but there was no shortage of food and grass, and the rebels in Shuzhong did not ask him how long it took, but the rebels' food and grass were not very enough, and according to Tang Zhou's calculations, the food of the people in Shuzhong was almost insufficient, and the people's food was not enough, and they would definitely make trouble.

Everyone was busy until late at night.

The night is deep, and the moon is much rounder tonight, but there are many people guarding Jianmen Pass, although the decisive battle is tomorrow, but Liu Bai is also a cunning person, Tang Zhou is worried about what tricks Liu Bai will do, so he ordered people to defend a little more at night.

And just when the guards were defending, there was a sudden change under the sword gate, and the Tang army guards were shocked, and hurriedly reminded the others: "Be careful!" ”

Everyone was vigilant, and then they saw that a lot of people suddenly appeared under the Jianmen Pass, and after these people appeared, they shot arrows beyond the Jianmen Pass, and Tang Jun hurriedly dodged, and while fighting back, he sent someone to report to Tang Zhou.

At this time, Tang Zhou had fallen asleep, and after he was woken up by the guards, he heard that the rebels were attacking the city at night, and he looked a little nervous, and hurriedly called some people to rush to the city tower.

When they came to the tower, the sharp arrows rained down, as if they had never stopped, and many soldiers had already assembled and were ready to fight.

It's just that Tang Zhou felt strange again, there were only sharp arrows under the Jianmen Gate, but there was not much noise, this is not like there are thousands of troops, engaging in sneak attacks, the Jianmen Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to sneak attack.

Went up to the city tower and glanced down, only to see that in the dark, from time to time there were sharp arrows, but apart from these, there was no other movement, Tang Zhou pondered for a moment, and somewhat understood what Liu Bai meant, so he waved his hand and led people down the city again.

"Leave them alone, they can shoot arrows if they want, as long as they don't attack the city, go back to sleep."

Saying that, Tang Zhou yawned, but Cheng Chumo was in a hurry, and said, "Brother Tang, you ...... What do you mean, the enemy is coming, but you have to sleep, it's too dangerous, you can't do this......"

After listening to Tang Zhou's words, Qin Huaidao also understood what was going on, he patted Cheng Chumo and said, "Don't shout, Brother Tang let me go to sleep, you just go to sleep, tomorrow is the main drama." ”

Qin Huaidao and Tang Zhou went to rest one after another, Cheng Chumo stood in one place and was stunned for a long time, and it was not until a long time later that he finally understood the meaning of Tang Zhou's words, he patted his head: "Yes, why am I so stupid, rest, go and rest, only when I have rested, I will be able to have a tough battle tomorrow." ”

Cheng Chumo didn't understand it in the end.
