Chapter 380: Resilience

Chen Zhang's shouting was like a tangible and unsophisticated wind blew through, sweeping away the Mingzhou army in chaos. Although the ancient military governance methods emphasized different points, they were all but two items. One was torture and threats, and the second was to reward and temptation, especially torture. After all, on the battlefield, the intersecting hand and blades, and the place of life and death, the soldiers must overcome their fear and kill the enemy. Only by making them feel that the punishment behind them is more terrifying than the swords of the enemy in front of them. In this way, the army has

The soldiers were more afraid of Shangguan than respect, and the Mingzhou Army was no exception. The officers on the high ground used to serve soldiers and abuse torture. However, the soldiers were worried about the strict military law and were afraid of implicating the small family in Mingzhou. They dared not speak out. But at this time, the shouts from the opposite side clearly stated that the Zhenhai army had conquered Mingzhou and the general situation was hopeless. They killed Shangguan who had been harsh on their previous harsh treatment and were rewarded. The result was imagined.

Luo Fang stood on the high ground, and he and several other captains were shocked by a series of mutations. They didn't know what to do for a moment. After all, they could only be one-fifth of the masters. If they said the wrong thing, they might immediately cause a murder. As a result, they all made up their minds and never let the situation go. When these people looked at each other, guessing their companions' intentions, with the sound of the wind, Chen Zhang shouted "only the head of punishment, never ask" and everyone felt that a basin of cold water was poured down from the top door. If the morale of the army was still shaking just now, it would be about to collapse. Before Luo Fang could speak, he heard someone in the military formation below shouting: "We are willing to give up the secret.

Ming, rely on Mr. Lu.” The shouting was like the first domino that fell. There were people in the army one after another, and there were also scolding and scolding. The soldiers of Mingzhou who were fighting side by side just now met each other in a blink of an eye and fought each other. In the darkness, no one knew what the companions around him were fighting. Many people died in a confused manner under the sword of strangers. At this time, Luo Fang did not care about the other lieutenants' thoughts and led six or seven personal soldiers down the high ground to suppress the riots. But as soon as he broke through two or three levels, the personal soldiers around him were dispersed by the riots. He was the only one who waved his sword and shouted at the soldiers to restore order, and finally died in the riots.

In Shicheng Mountain, Yuezhou, the Zhenhai Army and Wuyongdu Rebels led by Lu Fang had been in confrontation for more than ten days. After the first two days of contact, Zhenhai Army continued to strengthen the camp. Thinking that a long-term plan, the rebels failed to challenge many times, they had to strengthen their own camps. Moreover, after the Zhenhai Army encountered the rebels while chopping wood and drawing water, and the captured enemy soldiers in conflict, Lu Fang also ordered them to give them wine and food and let them go. After several times, the soldiers of the two armies also acted on their own when they chopped wood and drained water and met, and no longer conflicted. As a result, when the fight was hot in other places, the central battlefield calmed down.

On the wall of Zhenhai Army, Lu Fangzheng carefully observed the rebel camps in the distance, and behind him were a group of generals. The rebels were digging river mud from the canal and then transporting them back to their side to dry mud bricks. As materials for building barriers, the rebel camps had gradually extended to the foothills. It seemed that Xu Wan planned to build his own barriers to the foothills, completely squandering Lu Fang's determination to detour from the flanks.

Liu Manfu came to Lu Fang with a nervous expression and whispered: "Lu Gong, there is an important military information in Hangzhou to report." Hearing Liu Manfu's report, Lu Fang's expression changed slightly, and he chuckled: "Fu'er is good at everything, but he is too cautious. Since I regard him as the descendant, I can be self-centered, so why bother asking for instructions in everything?" The surrounding generals and officials responded with a smile.

When Lu Fang returned to the tent, he saw a messenger sitting in the tent, sweating all the way. He didn't know whether he had been working hard or anxious to come out all the way. When Lu Fang saw Lu Fang coming into the tent, he quickly bowed down and took out a silk book from his arms to present it. Without waiting for Liu Manfu to submit it, Lu Fang snatched the letter. After checking that the envelope was not damaged, he opened the silk book and saw that Lu Fang's brows immediately frowned. After a while, he handed the silk book to Liu Manfu beside him and said, "Manfu, look at this letter too."

Liu Manfu took the letter and looked carefully. It turned out that the letter was written to Lu Fang by Lu Shuxian, telling the story of Zhao Yingong's about to lead troops to invade Taiwan and Wenzhou. Finally, he mentioned that Chen Zhang led his headquarters to attack Mingzhou. Before he finished reading the letter, he couldn't help but say hurriedly: "Ming Gong, Zhao Yingong's thief invading Taiwan and Wenzhou, and Wenzhou is the important place for Fujian, Zhejiang and Tianjin. If he had this place, he was afraid that the war would continue, and it would not be decided in ten days."

Lu Fang nodded: "No, when things got so far, I blamed me for underestimating Zhao Yingong, thinking that the two thieves of Zhao and Zhao would be able to shock Xu and Zhao. Unexpectedly, this person abandoned him and ignored him and took this risky strategy. As a result, all the elite soldiers and generals in Hangzhou were pulled away by me, but when they encountered a sudden change, no one could respond. However, Chen Zhang was beyond my expectations. Others were afraid of being suspicious in this situation, so he dared to take the risk." Speaking of this, Lu Fang tsk a few times, obviously lamenting Chen Zhang's decisiveness.

Liu Manfu nodded and asked, "What should our army do now? Now the Wuyong camp has been established and it is difficult to break it suddenly. If our army persists here for a long time, I am afraid that Wen and Taizhou will be empty and there will be major changes."

Lu Fang smiled and said, "Although the rebel camp is solid, the troops are insufficient after all. These days, their soldiers have stepped up the construction camp and cannot rest day and night. They are already exhausted. I have released them to pick and draw water from the woodcutters, and have been to paralyze them. Secondly, they have also gone to the rebels' desire to fight to the death with their enemies. Now, although the time is not fully ripe, they can still defeat the enemy in one battle."

Late at night, the torches on the walls of Wu Yongdu shook in the night wind, like the eyes of beasts. It was already the fourth hour, the darkest time before dawn, and the most tired time for the sentry on the night. Liu Zhen walked on the walls and woke up the dozing men of Shi Ye from time to time. This was his habit for many years in the army. Although the Zhenhai Army on the opposite side did not launch a surprise attack these days, on the contrary, Lu Fang just stepped up the construction of the camp, looking like he was determined to change. He did not even expect the riots in the rich in the middle and rear. He was originally about the coming face to face.

The ordinary military brave soldiers who were a little worried about the Lu Fang army gradually became arrogant, and the barracks were filled with contempt for the Zhenhai Army. Many soldiers claimed that a military brave soldier could easily overwhelm twice or even triple the Zhenhai soldiers in the field. They also said that there were not many veterans in the Zhenhai Army who fought side by side with them to siege Hangzhou. Most of them were just fragile Zhejiang soldiers. Otherwise, why did the enemy generals have nearly twice the advantage of military strength, but why did they hide behind the barriers and dare not fight us face to face?

Whenever he heard his colleagues say such big words, Liu Zhen walked away silently. He had personally had a fight with Liu Manfu himself and knew the bravery and cunning of the enemy. As for why he didn't win in the field, he could also guess some of Lu Fang's thoughts: "If you can sweat, you won't shed blood!" But he was just an intermediate officer, and he could only urge his soldiers to do their best. The rest depends on destiny.

After Liu Zhen finished patrolling the barrier that his subordinates were in charge, he was about to return to the camp to rest, when he suddenly saw a dark area outside the barrier not far away, as if someone was flashing. He thought to himself that the barrier was just built, and many mud bricks were not completely dry and were easily damaged. It was a weak link in Wu Yong's defense. Thinking of this, Liu Zhen led three soldiers to the side.

Liu Zhen walked a while and didn't see a sentry on the barrier. He couldn't help feeling an ominous sign in his heart, and his right hand unconsciously pulled out the horizontal knife. At this time, a soldier with a smart ear whispered: "Captain, it seems that there is a sound of digging soil in front of him."

Liu Zhen listened with his ears and could vaguely hear the sound of digging the soil. He stretched out his right hand and pressed it down, signaling his subordinates to bow down to avoid being discovered. He let his footsteps lightly and walked to the place where the sound came from. He walked about 17 or 18 steps. With the stars, Liu Zhen saw five or six men digging out the barrier that had just been built two days ago. He had already dug a six or seven-foot hole, and there was a person standing next to him.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Zhen quickly ordered one of his subordinates to go back and ask for reinforcements. He led the remaining two and tiptoed over there and touched the wall along the wall. The path Liu Zhen chose was close to the shadow of the barrier, and the other party's gaze angle of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of the gaze of

Liu Zhen suppressed his doubts, lifted the horizontal knife backwards, took light steps, touched the digging men, covered his head and slashed it with a knife.

There was only a scream that broke through the night sky. Before the digging men came to his senses, Liu Zhen made a move like the wind and had already chopped over two more. The soldiers behind him also cut one over one person, leaving only the last digging man who was forced into the corner, waving his hoe in his hand and struggling to death. At this time, Liu Zhen could see clearly through the starlight that most of the digging men who were cut to death on the ground were sergeants of Wu Yongdu. Two of them he knew were all soldiers guarding this barrier. They obviously colluded with the Zhenhai Army and worked inside and outside. But Wu Yongdu was a military and political group with foreigners as the main body. The centripetal force was not comparable to that of ordinary troops at that time. Who bought them?

While Liu Zhen was thinking, he heard a scream. When he turned around, he saw a soldier who had already rushed to the ground, and a feather arrow was deeply buried on his back. When he looked up, he saw a person standing on the barrier, holding a bow in his hand, and was about to shoot again. It was the person who had just let the wind on the barrier. Liu Zhen secretly cursed himself forgot about this person, and picked up the horizontal knife in his hand and threw it at the bent bow man on the barrier.
