Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 106 Huang Ye ([-]) (The Tsing Yi Panda is another leader, kneeling down)

"Break it with one blow, are the thieves unbearable?"

No one can answer this question.

But now everyone is very clear that the combat effectiveness of the Chao army is far inferior to that of two years ago.When I first entered Chang'an, my morale was like a rainbow, and my fighting spirit was high.After two years of peaceful life, they became increasingly angry, especially when many of them robbed women and property, and their minds were no longer as bachelors as before, so naturally they were not as brave as before in war.

Furthermore, in the past two years, they have also lost a lot of elites.In the west expedition to Fengxiang Mansion, more than 2 people were beheaded at one time. These are all elites of the "old battalion".Going north several times also caused Shao Shude to kill a lot.Not to mention the losses caused by repeated sawing in four directions. It may not be much at one time, but fighting every day, fighting every day, the consumption of old soldiers is very alarming.

And Chao Jun did not do a good job in terms of personnel replenishment.It has only been in recent months that large-scale Latin enlistment has begun.In fact, Shao Shude was very surprised why they did this kind of thing until now. Could it be that they looked down on the fighting power of the people in Chang'an and Ji County?Although the strength of about 15 troops is maintained now, is it really the same as the 15 two years ago?
Anyway, before the battle against Meng Kai, Shao Shude felt that the fighting power of the Chao people was not as good as before.

"Marshal, the thieves are not as good as they used to be." After thinking for a while, Chen Cheng was eager to express himself, and said: "General Wang led his troops to attack the camp. Two thousand versus two thousand, the thieves still have a barracks. As a result, it will be broken in less than half a day, and it is obviously unbearable to fight. Tomorrow, the commander-in-chief might as well invite Huang Ye to fight in the field. If the thief general is willing, nothing will happen. Attack his camp."

If the bandits agree to fight in the field, there will be ghosts!Shao Shude is not optimistic about Huang Ye's courage to fight Xia Sui's army. Meng Kai and Zhang Yan's generation have suffered so badly. As long as he is not a pig's brain, he will not dare to pin his victory or defeat on a gamble with extremely low odds.

"Let's try it." Shao Shude nodded.

He still trusted the combat effectiveness of Xia Sui's army.Although it is not as good as the Tielin Army, among the eight towns in the northwest of Beijing, they are considered to have rich combat experience. As long as they are willing to fight, there will be no problem.

It's hard to say about the Qifang Army.Before Li Xiaochang led more than 6000 people to fight against [-] Jingyang bandit army, it was only a small victory.In comparison, Li Xiang's desire to fight may be even higher, after all, they are eager to perform and gain military exploits.

"General Wang smashed the bandit camp today, captured and killed more than a thousand thieves, and made his first contribution. The sage will be rewarded for his meritorious service in the future. On this side, the general also has a generous reward. Guo Yu, write it down first, and give it to me." Two hundred bolts of silk, if you make new achievements, you will not lose your position as a state or county." Shao Shude walked up to Wang Yu in person, and praised: "It's really a blessing to win General Wang."

Although the first achievement of a large army in battle is not as good as beheading the general before the battle and demoralizing the enemy, it is still very important.Wang Yu led the army to break through the bandit camp. Although he did not kill the general, the first battle was the first battle, which was related to the ebb and flow of the two armies' momentum.The financial rewards received by individuals are secondary, and that is not important, the important thing is the official position.

There are only four prefectures in Xiasui Town, and the governor's promise for one prefecture is not light!

"A certain one is only willing to follow the commander in chief to bring peace to the world. In this world, wolves are everywhere, and even warriors are afraid of it. Only true heroes like the commander in chief can calm down." Wang Yu replied.

Wang Yu's answer was not a "standard answer", but Shao Shude was quite touched when he heard it. He sighed and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

If you have this ambition, you are like-minded people who can be entrusted with important tasks in the future.

"The generals will go back to rectify the army, guard the camp, and invite the bandit army tomorrow to see if they should or not. On the other hand, send a battalion at night, Guo Qi leads it, and then test the bandit camp defense." Shao Shude Said.

"The last will obey."

After the generals dispersed, Shao Shude was not in the mood to read military books, so he patrolled the camp.During the period, he even walked into the camp and talked with the sergeants.

"Commander, can we go home after this battle?" A sergeant asked.

"Of course." Shao Shude said with a smile: "It's been two years since I left home, so it must be snowing heavily in Suizhou right now? I'm afraid the Wuding River is so cold that you can run a horse."

"The commander-in-chief has divided the land. After this battle, you can go home and enjoy the blessings." Another sergeant said.

"The commander-in-chief has not forgotten the agreement with Jinyang, which is convincing."

"The commander-in-chief still needs to have heirs, so everyone can feel at ease." Someone said boldly.

"You have to snatch Huang Chao's concubine and give it to the commander. Otherwise, how can you have children?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Huaizhong, who was following behind, saw that the people were getting more and more outrageous, and scolded: "Why don't you hurry up and sharpen your knife?"

The sergeant left embarrassingly, while the others laughed endlessly.

"Old Lu, do you still remember what happened in Fengzhou?" After leaving the barracks, Shao Shude asked looking at the stars in the sky.

"Back then, the commander-in-chief expressed his desire to restore peace to the world. I don't know if he still has this ambition?" After becoming Marquis of Duyu, Lu Huaizhong became more silent, and became more respectful in front of Shao Shude. Today is probably what he said for a while. most once.

"On the first day when I entered Suizhou, I saw the children with naked clothes and skinny bones, so I strengthened my ambition."

"So, I feel relieved." Lu Huaizhong said: "Looking at those military leaders who don't do anything, I want to kill them all."

Shao Shude laughed, but also felt a little emotional.Muddy people like Lu Huaizhong are also innocent, and they don't let go of a dead truth.His early experience made him particularly hate those military leaders who were paid nothing and drank the blood of soldiers, but he was good to soldiers.When I became Marquis of Duyu, I felt that there were not many changes from before, but I had changed too much.

After this battle, it's time to tidy up.

******
In the Chao army camp, Huang Ye beheaded several more people, all of whom were generals who fled back after the camp was broken today.

"People who are greedy for life and afraid of death, what's the use of keeping them!" After ordering his relatives to pass on to the camps, Huang Ye took a sip of wine and continued to curse: "Meng Kai is incompetent, Zhang Yan has no courage, and people like Shao Shude are famous. The armies are terrified."

In fact, Shao Shude wasn't the only one who made Chao Jun fearful?During the day today, north of Chang'an, the soldiers and horses of the four towns of Hezhong, Tonghua, Zhongwu, and Yiwu, with the cooperation of Li Keyong's army, fought against Huang Kui.The Chao army suffered a disastrous defeat, with thousands of casualties. The news quickly spread here. Huang Ye was in a bad mood, so he beheaded those people to vent his anger—or fear.

I heard that the soldiers and horses of Fengxiang, Jingyuan, Binning, and Xichuan towns in the west are about to launch a war. If they are defeated again, the situation will become more and more critical.

When marching and fighting, "potential" is very important!
After drinking the wine, Huang Ye's mood did not improve, so he asked someone to send two women.These two are the wives and daughters of the pseudo-Tang Shangshu. The mother is in her thirties and still has a charming charm, and the daughter is only in her tenth year and has not yet grown up.She was plundered by Huang Ye a year ago and used as a slave. Unexpectedly, she took her with her for lust when she went out to fight.

After tearing off the clothes and playing with them for half an hour, Huang Ye panted heavily and rewarded the mother and daughter to the soldiers outside the tent to enjoy.On the other hand, he hugged another wine jar and drank the stuffy wine.Unexpectedly, after only drinking two bowls, there was a faint cry of killing in the distance, and soon, a relative came to report: "Tang army attacked General Sun's camp, thousands of people."

"Wow!" Huang Ye threw the wine bowl to the ground and left the tent angrily.

The Shangshu's wife was completely naked, lying on the ground with blank eyes.Huang Ye flew up and kicked him aside, looking at the burning camp in the distance and the faint screams, he was speechless for a long time.

"General, for some reason, the Tang army suddenly approached. General Sun was unprepared and the gate of the camp was taken. The situation is critical. Please send troops to rescue quickly." Someone suggested.

Huang Ye hesitated.He has the courage to play with women, and he can pretend to be heroic in front of his subordinates, but when it comes to fighting with real swords and guns, he is a little hesitant.

Sending troops at night is easy for the enemy to take advantage of!

Zhang Guiba watched silently from the side, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.Two years ago, Huang Ye should have dared to send troops to rescue.At that time, he won consecutive battles, no matter how he fought, otherwise King Huang would not be able to rest assured that he would hand over the army to him, even if he was a brother.

But what happened in the past two years?During the attack on the river, he was defeated by Wang Chongrong. He camped in the south to fight against the legendary soft persimmon Shu army, but it was difficult to win.Today, when facing Shao Shude, who is famous for his fierceness, he is even more restrained, he is cautious on the left and cautious on the right, but in the end he still destroyed two strongholds in one day.

Confidence has been lost, can this battle still be fought?
Of course, Zhang Guiba knew very well that this was not a problem of Huang Ye alone.In fact, the morale of the entire Chao army is now low, and the mind is in a trance, and it is difficult to display [-]% of the combat power to [-]%.For the current plan, we still have to win a few beautiful victories first to sweep away the decline, and then there is a possibility of cheering up.If they continue to lose continuously like this, Chang'an will not be able to hold on within a few months.

"It's inappropriate to send troops hastily at night, fearing the tricks of the Shao bandits." After hesitating for a while, Huang Ye finally decided not to rescue him.

Seeing this, Zhang Guiba was quite disappointed, and after seeing the generals heaved a sigh of relief, he even rose to despair.

There is no way to fight this battle!If the Tang army invites a battle tomorrow, or directly attacks the camp, he doesn't know what the result will be.

It's up to you!
