"Poof".

With a not-so-obvious sound, the flames, which had been burning a little reluctantly, finally could no longer support their bodies, and turned into nothingness in a wisp of green smoke. And the soldiers huddled by the brazier seemed to feel the cold from the outside world and shrank even tighter.

"Poof".

It was the sound of a spear piercing through leather armor, and although it was a slight sound because of the sharpness of the tip of the spear, it was so clear in the silence of the night that it was ......

"No, this sound is wrong, it's not the sound that the tip of a gun makes when it pierces your flesh!"

"What's going on, why did it stop all of a sudden!"

"Bring a torch, get a torch!"

"What the hell is going on, don't you know that doing this will expose us!"

"Something is wrong, I think we might have been tricked!"

Soon, the torches were lit.

But with the lighting of the torch, light and heat were bent, but the heart of the person who lit the torch was cold.

Because, the so-called "soldier" who was stabbed was nothing more than a marionette made of straw and wood.

Although it is said that the marionettes as big as real people, these soldiers from Xiliang have never seen them before.

But even the most stupid people should have some guesses about what such a discovery means, not to mention that there are several of these people who can be regarded as some clever guys.

It's just that now they prefer that they don't have the "smartness" that can see through the qiē in front of them.

"Withdraw. Now that we've been discovered, there's no point in breaking in, so let's get out of the way. It should be too late. ”

So some people began to retreat, and judging from the number of people who nodded in agreement, this idea was obviously the opinion of the majority, and some people even planned to put away their weapons and slowly retreat.

Although in the mouths of these rebels, it seems that the state army is nothing more than paper paste, and it will be broken with a single stab. But as long as you think about the "treatment" received by the Xiliang army in Chang'an City in the past few days, these people are very taboo about the "conspiracy and trickery" of the Bingzhou army.

"Can't be withdrawn, although there are a few dummies here, but it's hard to guarantee that this is not the enemy's trick, in fact, he is still hiding there, but because there are few people, he has to play so tricky."

Of course. There are also unwilling. After all, not everyone is Sima Yi, he has been played bad by Zhuge Liang, even in the face of the empty door, the soles of his feet are soft, and his whole body is as if he has been stimulated by microcurrent.

All right. The above description has nothing to do with Chinese football...... Probably.

So for these people. Not hitting the south wall and not looking back is their belief. As for after hitting the south wall...... Let's talk about it later.

Probably influenced by the combat style, this gambling mentality, once it appeared, immediately won the approval of most wall grasses. Obviously, in the Xiliang Army's combat manual (if there is such a thing), running away without a fight is definitely an option that should be shot.

They can't learn from the "cowards" in their eyes and the state army, they represent the Xiliang Army with the most advanced combat methods!

As for whether it is true or not, they themselves believe it anyway.

However, in the face of the eagerness of the majority of the people, even the few who have already made up their minds to withdraw do not dare to continue to insist on their reasons, they are all soldiers, who know what to say and what not to say at such a time, and God knows if those who are in high spirits will cut people in the name of shaking the morale of the army because of their own few arguments - even if they don't do it now, wait until they find out that something is wrong to kill someone to vent their anger and then surrender with their own heads, blaming themselves for a mistake or something.

are all "foxes" who have been cultivating for decades, so don't talk about fasting.

All of them are goods that have been crushed by thousand-year-old fox spirits.

Of course, there is no one in the Chinese army tent, but there is still a little heat left inside, indicating that the master has not been gone for too long, but no matter how long it is, it is self-evident what the empty Chinese army tent means.

Before they could even sneak up to the back of the line and plan to make a fortune, they were surrounded by sudden torches.

Surrounded by two stunning girls and a group of generals who were not very familiar with the soldiers, Li Shushi walked out of the protection of the soldiers with a cruel smile, and his eyes were full of coldness that made them feel desperate.

This is indeed a desperate feeling, but the members of Ma Jiajun let Li Shushi see another side of them......

Well, the other side of the somewhat unexpected.

"Brothers, the Lord is here. Anyway, it's all a death, let's fight! Could it be that we Xiliang people are still afraid of those cowardly people from Bingzhou! ”

Just because of one sentence, whether they were planning to retreat or were frightened by the "conspiracy" of the state army, the soldiers who were weakened seemed to have regained their original vitality in an instant, and their eyes were even more fierce and cruel.

Although people are a little stupid, their desire to fight is admirable, and they are worthy of being able to make Ma Teng comfortable in the battle against the Qiang, Di and Zahu, and they do have their own reasons for pride.

If you want to subdue such a group of people, even if ordinary methods can work in a short period of time, they will still be despised by the other party in the end.

In that case, let's fight, let these people see if the soldiers of the state are qualified to make them submit, and let them know what kind of army the people of the state have honed after countless big scenes.

"Guan Hai, Zhao Zhao, and Liao Chun obey the order, target: any rebel army with a weapon, and as long as the enemy does not give up the desire to attack, even if he is empty-handed, he is not allowed to show mercy. Dian Wei, you don't need to protect me here, it's enough to have Yuzi-chan and Nero-chan, take people up, and let those barbarians who have not yet been civilized in Xiliang take a look at the strength of our state. ”

"The last general commands!" ×N。

With this impassioned reply, the Hezhou army, which was angry because they felt that their efforts were being slighted, also slowly marched forward under the command of the generals—even though the anger in their hearts was almost bursting out, they still obeyed the combat discipline that had been emphasized in their daily training. Teamwork.

This is the real elite army!

Seeing the troops that were as steady as a millstone but with an unstoppable aura, Li Shushi had a satisfied smile on his face - this was his troops, and this was the result that he and his men had spent years building.

Now, let the people of Xiliang take a look at the strength of the Bingzhou Army, which can already be proud of being the first in the world!

There is no need to bless various states, and there is no need to reduce the state of the other person, this is a confrontation of strength, a confrontation of muscles, a confrontation of will, and most importantly, a confrontation of faith.

Seeing the blood that was constantly splashing in front of him, Li Shushi suddenly thought of when he made the decision to send troops out of the customs in a big way. Jia Xu once persuaded him. He couldn't remember all the specific words. But the general meaning is to let him find a chance to fight a bloody battle, and only in this way can he truly convince the group of Xiliang men who were soaked in Dong Zhuo's thoughts.

Originally, Li Shushi still didn't quite understand what Jia Xu's words meant, because there were not no battles in the Battle of Guanzhong, whether it was with the remnants of the Xiliang Army like Yang Ding and Hu Zhen. Or those Qianghu who are in the central and western Liang regions. The scale is large or small. But there are also a lot of difficult bones among the enemy, so I thought that such a Cheng dù was enough.

But in retrospect, these battles were basically fought together with the surrender faction in the Xiliang army. Even though in some battles it was still possible to win by the hard work of the state army, it is clear that some people are selectively blind in this regard.

Especially those arrogant generals under the command of Ma Tengjun.

Those soldiers of the Xiliang Army who had "cooperated" with the Bingzhou Army were not very prejudiced in their hearts because they saw it with their own eyes, but not only did there be no cooperation between Ma Tengjun and the Bingzhou Army, but Li Shushi took the initiative to surrender.

Tut-tut, I really think of myself as a character.

If it weren't for Li Shushi's desire to meet the young horse, Ma Tengjun would be worth Li Shushi's visit?

Well, originally Li Shushi really didn't take this kind of thing to heart, after all, in front of him, Ma Teng still showed considerable respect, and even those subordinates with him didn't dare to make a mistake. If it weren't for Su Xiaololi's "playing with fire" such an emergency, Li Shushi might not have noticed the true feelings scattered within Ma Jiajun.

Su Xiaololi is certainly a woman, and in the eyes of most men in this era, she can't get equal respect with men, but she has just triggered a miraculous power and is tired and injured because of it, even if it is just from the perspective of treating a comrade-in-arms who fights for herself, what Li Shushi did is not excessive.

This can be known from the respectful eyes in the Bingzhou army that looked at Su Xiaololi.

But what about Ma Tengjun?

Maybe they didn't know how much to do with Su Xiaololi because they didn't know how much the qiē that happened in Chang'an City had anything to do with Su Xiaololi, or maybe they just deliberately turned a blind eye to it, because their definition of a woman was just a machine for them to vent and continue their offspring, and by the way, they also had to take care of miscellaneous things such as cooking, female celebrities, and housework.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that Li Shushi's various actions are indeed not "heroes", and even make them feel cowardly and contemptible.

But this did not intend to weaken the image of Li Shushi and even Bingzhou in the minds of these people.

How to reverse?

To go to the bitter persuasion? Forming deep friendships in the midst of war? Giving rewards to the rank of official?

Let's not talk about how useful these soft methods are to deal with this kind of stubborn guys, and how much time it takes, God knows if you give these people a good face, will these guys continue to kick their noses and face and shame, because Li Shushi didn't treat them badly before, and the conditions for giving Ma Teng were not bad, otherwise Ma Teng couldn't surrender after hesitating.

So, it's still as Jia Xu said before.

them hard.

The battle was fought fiercely from the start.

Maybe it's because Ma Teng is still hesitating, maybe Ma Teng himself is not too sure about this rebellion, or maybe the son is worried about the safety of his two sons on the one hand, and can't help the temptation on the other, anyway, the troops sent by Ma Teng to sneak attack Li Shushi's central military tent are not too large - of course, if you just think that Li Shushi's Chinese military tent is just deploying his personal guard troops, then the 7,000-strong troops are indeed not small, and even seem a little too cautious.

But do you really think that Li Shushi, who is "good at conspiracy", only has a few hundred guards around him to protect him?

Believe it or not. Anyway, Ma Teng and his subordinates don't believe it, after all, the more cowardly people are, the more afraid of death, and naturally there will definitely be no fewer people around them to protect, even if the strength is not strong enough, but if there are fewer people, it is easy to have problems after all.

Regardless of whether this thinking circuit is correct or not, they are indeed crooked anyway.

Li Shushi does have a lot of hidden power around him.

Guan Hai and Liao Chun participated in the war of conquest of the northern land as a member of the Shuozhou army, and then led the troops as a partial division to attack Jincheng and Longxi, sweeping away those who still supported Li Guo and others and the defeated troops who were scattered in the mountains and forests after the collapse of the Xiliang army, and also shouldered the negotiation work with the Qianghu scattered in Jincheng and Longxi and other places.

Although most of the ethnic minority tribes around Liangzhou are known as Qiang, that is actually a collective term for all ethnic minorities. There may be some connection between the Qiang people who are tribal units. But each tribe is an independent administrative unit.

With good use, they are more likely to divide and disintegrate than the Xiongnu, and they also pay more attention to Xinnuo than the Xianbei people.

Of course, the troops led by Guan Hai and Liao Chun were basically infantry. Or at best, they can only be counted as infantry on horseback. It was obviously a bit reluctant to let them face those Qianghu cavalry alone. Therefore, before the war, Li Shushi ordered Cao Chun and Zhao to bring more than 10,000 Hun flying troops to fight with him, and the negotiation ability of these two is also somewhat basic.

Originally, Guan Hai brought 3,000 infantry. Bringing 3,000 Hun cavalry here is only a "reserve" prepared by Li Shushi's "General Staff" to guard against accidents, anyway, with Cao Chun's ability, he can completely toss around Jincheng and Longxi alone. Now it comes in handy, although it can't be said to be a complete accident, but it is also a little embarrassing.

Injured prey is always very dangerous, and desperate prey is the most ferocious, so even if Guan Hai's force is overwhelming, but in such a battle, even if he has killed three captain-level generals of the Ma Teng Army, it still can't make the enemy's morale fluctuate much.

No, or make the enemy more ferocious.

Although under the enemy's ferocious attack, the state army did not show that it was about to collapse, and could not even make them retreat, but on the other hand, it was also difficult for them to repel their enemy.

Merely......

"Dian Boren finally learned to judge the situation and knew that he had to use his 'good steel' on the blade."

Dian Wei did not put Li Shushi's personal guard troops on the battlefield at the first time, but led people to stand quietly between the battlefield and Li Shushi, looking as if he was protecting Li Shushi's safety.

However, Li Shushi knows very well that for Dian Wei, if the most important thing is his own safety, then the secondary thing is the task he ordered him. Now he has Su Xiaololi, a fierce Lori, and Nero Sauce, a personal guard who is not much worse than him in terms of force, and now he just needs to carry out the task he gave him.

So he is definitely not stupid to stand there blowing the wind, but quietly waiting for the time to come.

Speaking of which, Dian Wei is not exactly a reckless guy.

When Dian Wei was a ranger, in order to avenge his fellow villagers, he was ready to kill Li Yong, who was once the chief of Fuchun. This Li Yong used to be a national cadre (although the head of a county is not as good as the 600 stone of the county order, but he is also a figure in the local size), and his family naturally wants people to ask for money and money, and he is a figure who is protected by bodyguards when he goes in and out.

Even if Dian Wei is talented, if he wants to take the enemy's head in the alley, he will definitely not be able to do it.

After all, there is no red rabbit horse, and second, there is no space for him to gallop freely.

Not to mention that with his intimidating appearance, no matter how fierce his eyes are, just like Gao X Long'er or Yu O Chuan Xiaoying, it is estimated that anyone will lock him firmly with a defensive gaze at the first time.

But a good pawn man, he took a cart of wine and meat with a little makeup, and ambushed in a downtown on the road that Li Yong had to pass, as if he was waiting for a vendor, and then waited for Li Yong to pass by, and quickly stepped forward to stab him, so that Li Yong's subordinates couldn't react at all and watched Dian Wei slowly leave in front of hundreds of people in the downtown area. By the time they reacted and wanted to catch up, Dian Wei's figure had already been swallowed up by the flow of people.

Although Dian Wei basically no longer needs to consume brain cells to do such things since serving as the leader of Li Shushi's personal guards, with the accumulation of time, there are more and more excellent sons and daughters in the personal guards. Many of them will be sent to the army to serve as higher-level officers after staying in the guards for three or five years, or they will be sent to military academies for further study, and as their commander, Li Shushi is also a confidant and general whom Li Shushi trusts, and Li Shushi is also thinking about the possibility of sending Dian Wei and Xu Chu out.

Although Dian Wei doesn't seem to be very willing in his heart, he used to protect Li Shushi because of commitment and responsibility, but now there is more of a kinship connection, he follows Li Shushi, whether it is his safety or Li Shushi's safety, it can make the Zhen sisters feel at ease.

But since Li Shushi has such an idea, Dian Wei, who prioritizes fulfilling Li Shushi's orders, is also studying hard.

Now, let's let everyone take a look at the harvest of Dian Boren's hard work.

Mr. Cao Di, a well-known military theorist, once said: War is a thing that marches from beating drums to collecting troops in Mingjin. To put it bluntly, it is a competition of morale. At the beginning, everyone didn't really encounter the enemy, and there was still some room for imagination, or room for self-YY, so I always felt confident and full of fighting spirit. A war drum was beaten. The whole person is cute.

It's halfway through the fight. Both sides have some understanding of each other, whether it is a mule or a horse, they can almost understand it, and who has the upper hand and who has the upper hand naturally knows in their hearts. Naturally, the side that has the upper hand does not need to beat the drum. And the side that beats the second drum is definitely not dominant, so it is necessary to beat the drum to boost morale. But in the face of reality, the effect will definitely be much worse. It's just that people are so strange, they often don't give up when they don't go to the Yellow River, they don't hit the south wall and don't look back, so what they like to think most about when they are at a stalemate is "if you work harder, you may be able to win". So although the effect of this second drum is not as good as that of the first one, it will also have some effects.

When both sides are a little exhausted, it will be up to the coach to make a choice - whether to have a tacit understanding between the two sides to withdraw the troops or to muster up the courage to fight the victory. The former requires both generals to have stunts "have a heart", as for the latter, don't have too much hope, after all, no one is iron, and the force is tired for such a long time, even if you beat the drum, you have the intention to kill the enemy and have no power to return to the sky, unless you encounter the defeat of the enemy army, then for the sake of loot and military merit will fight to the death for a future, but at that time it is estimated that there is no need to beat the drum or anything, even if you are Mingjin, there are not many people who listen to you.

Ma Jiajun's current situation is very much in line with Professor Cao's theory.

Unlike the discipline of the Bingzhou army, even the Huns have understood the importance of discipline in several years of training and fighting, so the battle method that tends to be more reasonable regardless of offense and defense is different, the fighting style of the Ma Jiajun is much more rough, especially when they are fighting with a glimmer of life and fighting for the arrogance of the Xiliang army, they want to win the opponent at once, it can be said that this "first drum" is beating heavy and loud, and even once overwhelmed the people of Bingzhou.

This way of fighting is like the original Huaxiong, if you can't take down the opponent in one go, then you will face various problems such as declining morale, especially excessive physical consumption, the pressure on the opponent is also decreasing, and the vacancy left for the opponent is also increasing - just like what can often be seen on the football field, a certain team has been attacking for a long time but was counterattacked by the opponent because of an negligence, and if you are lucky enough to meet the opposing player's poor marksmanship, the psychological element is too poor, and even the weather turf is a teammate, so naturally you escaped. But if you are unlucky, or if you are lucky, then there is only one result: conceding a goal.

Yes, the enemy at this time is already on the verge of collapse, and it only takes a sharp counterattack to take down the opponent.

Should it be said that it is a mixture of a large number of Qiang troops, and the style of fighting with the Qiang is almost the same.

But in the face of the ferocious attack of the Xiliang Army, the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army also need to spend a lot of body and even life to maintain the current situation without buff or treatment, how can they fight back?

So, in this case, Dian Wei finally moved.

The long-awaited sharp knife is finally about to deliver the most powerful blow to the enemy.

From the moment Dian Wei began to act, Li Shushi showed a victorious smile.

Yes, this battle, and the people of the state will undoubtedly be the final victor.

When they meet on a narrow road, they are the real braves! (To be continued......)
