Chapter 1080 Shooting Sirius (fifty-six)(1/2)
The two consecutive defeats naturally set aside the morale of the coalition forces.
Especially in the Battle of Wilderness and Grasspo, Xu Le and Li Shimin were alone in battle and retreated unscathed. Not only did they not hurt at all, they killed several generals, and the leader of the Shuofang Army died at the hands of Xu Le.
It is naturally impossible to say that there is no shock to the soldiers below.
This doesn't include the property losses caused by Han Yue and others' arson. If this is added, it will be even more fatal to the coalition forces.
In fact, the entire combat coalition did not lose much force.
The fire attack mainly burned tents and wealth, and not many people died.
However, the impact on people's morale is much more serious than the loss of several armies.
This is not a matter of losing a lot of troops, but the Tang army can come and go freely on its territory, and leave as soon as you want, and take away a few heads away. If you burn your camp, you can't help but deal with people.
If the war is like this, how can the people below trust the military generals?
How can I fight this battle if my coach loses confidence?
As a result, the matter did not end. Soon the soldiers received the order from Shao Khan of the Asana tribe, demanding the release of Shengkou in Jiangzhou.
It is said that the Han army did not have the habit of plundering the living, but since it became a Turkic servant army, it was difficult not to be influenced by the Turkic people.
Besides, the population is a precious wealth in any era. Not to mention that there is a person who can help him carry armor or clean the tent, who would still dislike the number of people working?
There is no need to spend any food, just give me a stutter and I can’t starve to death. After being taught by Shangguan, I can still call people over and beat them up and vent my anger. I will calculate whatever I see.
Therefore, it became popular in the Han army to capture the people as a slut. The soldiers below were not treated like this, and most of the generals had more or less a few sluts in their hands.
Those who are capable naturally have to make a few girls warm up their quilts. The worst one is to catch a few men to do stupid jobs. They can even organize these people to fill trenches during wars.
As a result, there was only such a military order, and he had to hand over his mouth. Who dared not to follow the military laws of the Ashin tribe waiting for the military laws! It didn't matter when he didn't have it, but now he has it and has been taken away. He can't swallow this tone.
And it was also said that Jiangzhou Shengkou in the entire army would be let go without leaving any other, and the reason for all this was because Xu Le captured Xue Rengao, the young leader of the Jincheng Army, and a companion of the association.
If no one is released, the two of them will have their heads to the ground.
The news came out, and the army was in an uproar.
The army is not a place to reason, let alone people who advocate reason.
What Junhan admires the most is the hero who relies on his strength to grab his arms and rob him hard. The more he is unreasonable, the more popular he is in such a place.
If Ashina captured Li Shimin and asked Li Yuan for money, these military men would not only not think it was wrong, but would also praise him loudly and praise Ashi's young master for being capable.
Even if these benefits are not your own, I will admire their means.
But now, my opponent is asking for things, and my own leader is inevitably called a waste by my subordinates.
The army can tolerate it to the capable but tyrannical general, and cannot accept an incompetent commander.
When I think of so many words being handed over by someone's head, who can feel satisfied?
Needless to mention the Turkic people, even these Han soldiers felt angry.
Although the people who were let go were all Han people, I felt that I was wronged. I did not feel good about Tang Jun because of the Tang Jun saving Han people. Instead, I had a lot of resentment towards my own commander and Tang Jun.
Some generals silently organized soldiers to rebuild the barracks, from the simple camps that were previously made into serious camps that could be defended by eight hundred people.
The trenches, Luzhai and other methods were arranged one by one, and they looked as if they knew shame and were ready to fight the enemy seriously.
However, Liu Wuzhou, who was fighting the horse patrol camp, looked ugly the more he looked. When he returned to the camp, he began to curse without saying a word: "Asina, who is in the mother! Military and national affairs are like a joke. He sent a child to come over and pointed at us. I don't think this battle can be fought! What kind of camp is being built?
Isn’t this just that it is obvious that it is afraid to go out to confront others, and just asks the other party not to call him.
When will our Heng'an Arc Cavalry become so unsuccessful?
Is this my grandfather's soldier?"
The only brother-in-law Song Jingang is in the tent, even Yuan Junzhang is not included.
Song Jingang was not as excited as Liu Wuzhou, but listened quietly to Liu Wuzhou's scolding. After he was tired of scolding, he said: "It's not easy to blame anyone.
This is the only way to put anyone in the position of the association rate.
I never thought that Xu Le would really put Xue Rengao back.
I thought he would not let anyone go as he did in Mayi before.
If this is the case, it will be easier, and things are a bit tricky now."
Liu Wuzhou also knew that Xue Rengao was released yesterday and had not suffered much, but had been hungry all the time.
In addition, he was infected with more than a dozen poison arrows and was deeply poisoned. Even if there was an antidote, he would still be dead. I am afraid he would not expect to go into battle in a short period of time.
Such a tiger general has now turned into a sheep, which is also a loss for the coalition forces.
Moreover, Xu Le's move made the internal situation of the coalition more subtle.
If Xu Le killed someone, then everyone will naturally fight against Xu Le to the same enemy.
Now he keeps his promise to let him go, which is a bit difficult to deal with.
As long as the other party’s conditions are met, the other party will not hurt himself.
Once this idea spreads through the army, it will definitely be a disaster.
At that time, people would turn their dissatisfaction with the enemy to their heads.
I think the pain or threat I face is because the coach refuses to meet the other party's request.
It's just not taking your life seriously.
Wars are inseparable from the service of the three armies. If the superiors and subordinates think so, what else can they do to fight in this battle?
Liu Wuzhou himself was like a cunning person, so he naturally knew the terribleness of this situation.
As soon as Song Jingang said this, he understood, pondered and said nothing, his eyes turned back and forth, thinking about countermeasures.
Song Jingang continued: "Among the five-way coalition forces, our army is the weakest in strength.
Even the combat power of the Shuofang Army is above our army.
Fortunately, our army occupied Renhe and was all locals under our command, so we were easy to recruit soldiers and familiar with the geography, so we were inseparable from us.
However, it is hard to say how long this so-called advantage can last. If Li Shimin uses this move, let alone our people.
Li Erlang did have someone to help him, and he used this method of removing firewood from the cauldron.
In the future, our children will have to be more careful when they want to harvest food or catch children.
It turned out that those forts were just self-reliant, but now maybe someone was thinking about picking our heads!”
"He dares!"
Liu Wuzhou snorted, but did not continue to say anything afterwards.
Unlike the Turkic people who are in the association, Liu Wuzhou, the local tyrant, is very familiar with the situation here.
Although Li Yuan had a good protection before, the local people were not very good at fighting formations.
However, after all, the founding of the Sui Dynasty was still short, and the people still maintained the legacy of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Coupled with the threat of the Turkic people who are so close to each other, many people still maintain the fine tradition of practicing martial arts and military training.
Nowadays, there are many forts in Hedong, and many powerful people and the noble right-level lands that depend on the great families.
They can't talk about how strong they are, nor do they have much loyalty to the Tang Dynasty.
However, the Turkic style is put here, and no normal person will choose to join the Turks, and he is forced to turn to the Li family.
If the Turks had always been the dominant one, they might have changed their position.
But as of now, and Li Shimin's move to save the people, it is obvious that these people's choices are unknown.
Moreover, Hedong has been destroyed, and a large number of official positions have been vacant.
Those who dare to build a fort to fight against the Turks are basically bold people.
There are inevitable desperados who want to use their lives to fight for wealth and exchange Turkic heads for future generations. Song Jingang said that this situation will happen sooner or later.
If it is really a comparison of means or strength, this kind of dock is no problem at all.
But the question is, with the enemy in front of him, how much strength can he distribute to deal with these powerful men who cannot stand up to the table?
"Brother-in-law, we are all a family and say whatever we want.
Since you say that, you must have your own plans.
Even if you say it, no matter what you say, I can't send you."
Song Jingang nodded: "My constitution can only be told to you, otherwise your life will not be saved."
As he spoke, he leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Arrang reliable personnel and transport the wealth and goods in our hands back to Mayi.
I guess even if Li Shimin has great skills, he will at most recover lost territory. At least now is not the time for him to invade Mayi."
"What?"
Liu Wuzhou was stunned.
Even if the situation was unfavorable, he did not expect it to be so.
This is almost like packing your luggage and getting ready to roll the bed and running away.
