Mi Han

Chapter 231
Now that the best time to win Wudang County has been lost, Mi Yang got off the nest cart and returned to the camp after observing the military flag of the Wei army for a while.

Then Zhang Nan and Ding Feng led thousands of Han troops to retreat slowly from the moat.

And watching thousands of Han troops slowly withdraw from the city after the arrival of their own reinforcements, Wei Jun, who felt that he had won a big battle, cheered on the city wall.

Although under the counterattack of the Wei army just now, the Han army did not lose many soldiers.

But facing the active retreat of the Han army, Wei Jun, who felt that he had walked through the gate of hell, still couldn't hide his joy and began to cheer.

This is the Han army led by Mi Yang. It is already a very honorable thing for them to defend Wudang City under the attack of the Han army led by Mi Yang.

Due to Wei Jun's fear of Mi Yang, their requirements for victory have become very low.

Even if they claimed to be the orthodox soldiers of China in the past, they regarded Liu Bei and Sun Quan's soldiers as soldiers of a small country.

But their glory in the past did not dare to show it in front of Mi Yang.

Although Mi Yang stepped back from the nest cart, he did not take off Cao Ren's banner, which was still fluttering high on the nest cart.

This is the greatest deterrent.

It's just that compared to Wei Jun who was cheering on the top of the city, although Man Chong's face also had a smile of the rest of his life, his heart was not relaxed.

Tens of thousands of Han troops are still outside the city, and the life-and-death enemy Mi Yang has not yet retreated. The future of Wudang City is still unknown.

When Wei Jun's cheers reached Ding Feng's ears with the sound of the wind, his mood became even more depressed, and even his face became gloomy.

On the contrary, Zhang Nan looked as usual.

Soon after, Zhang Nan and Ding Feng returned to the camp of the Han army.

After returning to the camp, Zhang Nan and Ding Feng went to Mi Yang's main tent to report back.

When the second general returned to Mi Yang, Mi Yang who was sitting on the chief seat immediately saw the gloomy look on Ding Feng's face.

After thinking about it for a while, Mi Yang understood the reason for Ding Feng's gloomy face.

But he did not comfort Ding Feng as usual at the beginning.

Mi Yang first turned to look at Zhang Nan and praised: "If Wen Jin hadn't made a decisive decision, Qian Erlang might not be able to retreat safely."

Facing Mi Yang's praise, Zhang Nan didn't show pride on his face, he bowed to Mi Yang and replied:
"This is the duty of the subordinate."

Mi Yang was even more satisfied with Zhang Nan's attitude.

At the beginning, in order to facilitate Mi Yang's mobilization of the [-] troops in Hanzhong, Liu Bei specially sent several generals to assist him.

Among them, Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, and Zhao Tong needless to say, they are the four friends of the prince with Mi Yang, and they are inseparable and deeply affectionate.

With these few people in charge of the Hanzhong army for Mi Yang, Mi Yang can command the Hanzhong army to the greatest extent possible.

And Feng Xi, Zhang Nan, and Cheng Ji were also carefully selected by Liu Bei for Mi Yang.

Among them, Feng Xi and Zhang Nan are veteran generals who have followed Liu Bei for a long time. They have rich experience and can attack and defend.

Moreover, these two people have certain prestige in the army, and their personalities are not arrogant. It can be said that as soon as they are by Mi Yang's side, they can become Mi Yang's capable lieutenants in an instant.

Not to mention Cheng Ji, who was left behind by Mi Yang in Xicheng, is a talent with both military and political skills.

Liu Bei sent Cheng Ji here, considering the aftermath of Mi Yang's victory.

Even Liu Bei sent these three people to prevent the problem of where the army should go after Mi Yang's defeat in the war.

With these three people, as long as Mi Yang is not determined to go his own way, or his eagerness to win leads to his being tricked into a desperate situation by the enemy.

Then even if Mi Yang is defeated, it will not produce too tragic results.

Zhang Nan, Cheng Ji, and Feng Xi are Mi Yang's left arms, and Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, and Zhao Tong are Mi Yang's right arms.

It can not only ensure that Mi Yang will not be restrained on the battlefield, but also can ensure that Mi Yang will not make some mistakes.

It can be said that Liu Bei, as a monarch, arranged everything very properly, whether it was employing people or looking at the overall situation.

That is, although Liu Bei has a high degree of political strategy and ability to judge people, sometimes he is too emotional, such as appointing Mi Fang and Shi Ren...

Because of his character of emphasizing love and righteousness, there are those great defeats in history that make countless people lament.

But then again, it is because of Liu Bei's character of emphasizing affection and righteousness that many people will follow him unswervingly, such as Mi Yang.

Mi Yang is a time traveler, and Mi Yang's loyalty to Liu Bei or the Han Dynasty is natural, not as high as Guan Yu and others.

But at present, he is willing to follow Liu Bei and fight for the great cause of revitalizing the Han Dynasty. In addition to his own special status, it is also because of Liu Bei's trust and affection for him.

Even if Liu Bei's affection for the original body is not mentioned, since Mi Yang traveled through, the kindness of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others to Mi Yang has also been remembered by Mi Yang.

Mi Yang is not a saint, but one must know how to be grateful. This principle was regarded as his motto in his previous life.

After Mi Yang finished praising Zhang Nan, he looked at Ding Feng.

Compared with Zhang Nan's admiring gaze, Mi Yang's gaze at Ding Feng is a bit harsh.

Zhang Nan didn't tell Mi Yang about Ding Feng's performance just now, but even without Zhang Nan's report, Mi Yang could roughly guess Ding Feng's inner thoughts from Ding Feng's gloomy expression.

Mi Yang first asked Ding Feng, "Why are you not angry?"

Mi Yang's question made Ding Feng feel like a place to vent his depressed emotions.

In front of Mi Yang, he told Mi Yang exactly what he had just thought.

After knowing that the reason for Ding Feng's displeasure was the same as his own guess, Mi Yang's gaze became more severe.

"Chengyuan, forget the public security evil?"

"Or, are you dissatisfied with my appointment of Wen Jin as the vanguard general?"

Mi Yang's words made Ding Feng's face change drastically.

Mi Yang's first sentence made Ding Feng recall the situation of the first battle of the police.

At that time, Ding Feng was Lu Xun's subordinate, although he did not arrive outside the Public Security City early.

But later Mi Yang ordered Guan Ping to attack several times, he had seen it with his own eyes.

At that time, Wu Jun was attacked by Guan Ping many times. Although Sun Quan had strictly ordered him not to act rashly, it was not without some generals who could not resist the anger in their hearts and led the troops to pursue Guan Ping.

But whenever those Wu troops chased to the moat, they were forced to retreat by the rocketmen on the public security wall.

This is the condescending advantage of the defenders.

Although the urban defense and public security in Wudang County are incomparable, some conditions are still common.

Mi Yang specifically mentioned the situation of the First World War for Public Security, in order to remind Ding Feng of the mistakes in his point of view.

And Mi Yang's second sentence was to express blame.

Ding Feng had the guts to be dissatisfied with Zhang Nan's decision, but he didn't have the guts to complain about Mi Yang's decision.

Under Mi Yang's questioning, Ding Feng quickly leaned down and nervously replied to Mi Yang: "This subordinate dare not."

Seeing Ding Feng's attitude, Mi Yang's attitude did not soften, he reprimanded Ding Feng:
"I warned you earlier not to underestimate the enemy.

I didn't expect you to be old-fashioned. Do you think that the enemies are all chickens and dogs? "

Mi Yang's stern tone lingered in the big tent. Because of Mi Yang's majesty, all the generals in the big tent lowered their heads in fright, not daring to look directly at Mi Yang.

Mi Yang looked around at the generals in the tent.

Ding Feng is not a person who does not know soldiers, even Ding Feng has participated in various siege battles, and he has no worse understanding of what advantages the defenders have than Mi Yang.

Organized city defenders and unorganized city defenders are completely different things. What happened just now by the moat is enough to prove this point.

The reason why Ding Feng still has dissatisfaction and depression in his heart is that according to the words of later generations, on the surface, Ding Feng is superior, but in essence, Ding Feng's arrogance is at work.

Today, Mi Yang appointed Zhang Nan as the vanguard general just to be on the safe side.

Otherwise, if Ding Feng was the vanguard general, it is very likely that the thousands of Han troops who attacked the city today would be in a desperate situation.

The fire is ruthless, Mi Yang can use it to destroy the enemy, and so can Man Chong.

Mi Yang's tone was harsher than the previous few days, and his harsh words were actually not addressed to Ding Fengyi, but to any generals in the tent who still had arrogance.

After reprimanding Ding Feng, Mi Yang has already moved to punish him today.

He slapped the table and shouted, "Come on!"

Under Mi Yang's call, several soldiers rushed into the big tent quickly, and then Mi Yang looked at these soldiers and ordered:

"Thirty sticks."

In the past, because of the arrogance of the generals, all the generals who rushed to fight at that time were punished by Mi Yang with thirty military sticks.

But at that time, Mi Yang considered that the siege was imminent, so he temporarily recorded this punishment and did not implement it immediately.

But now, it's time to implement it.

From Mi Yang's point of view, although reinforcements from the Wei army outside the camp have arrived, compared to external aggression, the internal arrogance makes him more worried.

If he doesn't use strong means to kill this kind of arrogance, once this kind of psychology is used by the enemy generals, then I'm afraid it will cause no disaster in the future.

When Mi Yang ordered the soldiers to hit Ding Feng with thirty heavy sticks, some grayness appeared on Ding Feng's face.

In his memory, this was the first time that Mi Yang had become so angry, and the first time that he had actually physically punished his generals.

But he didn't expect that this was the first time it was used on him.

It's just that Ding Feng has no complaints in his heart, because he already knows where his mistakes are when Mi Yang reminds him.

Under Mi Yang's order, several Han soldiers behind Ding Feng were about to drag Ding Feng out of the tent, but Mi Yang shouted:
"What are you doing dragging out, just fight inside the tent!"

When Mi Yang's words came out, the faces of all the generals in the tent were moved.

The general is trying to make an example to others.

Those Han soldiers didn't care whether the faces of the generals were moved or not.

Under Mi Yang's order, they instantly pushed Ding Feng to the ground from behind.

After throwing Ding Feng down, several Han soldiers took off Ding Feng's lower body armor, then lined up in two rows, raised their military sticks, and began to beat Ding Feng's butt hard.

Baton and whipping are the two most commonly used punishments in the army. Compared with whipping, you have to take off your shirt, and sticking may not be so troublesome.

But the pain brought by the stick punishment to the prisoner is not light at all.

In order to have a deterrent effect, the military sticks used for punishment in the army have been specially treated.

Every time the army stick hits the body, it will cause great pain.

When the army stick landed on Ding Feng's butt for the first time, pain appeared on Ding Feng's face instantly.

After that, the sound of military sticks hitting the skin continued to resound in Mi Yang's big tent, and also fell on the hearts of the generals in the tent.

As the sticks in the hands of the Han soldiers on both sides of Ding Feng waved up and down, the military judge standing on the side was counting loudly:
One, two, 31.

When Ding Feng received No.11's punishment with the stick, the thin shirt on his buttocks had already been torn, and there were spots of blood on his buttocks.

Moreover, Ding Feng's buttocks, while the sticks on both sides kept falling, were rapidly changing to the point of being bruised and bruised.

When the generals in the tent saw this scene, fear appeared on their faces.

Although they are all people who lick blood with knife-edge, but the knife-edge falls on the body and falls on the buttocks, which are two different concepts and pains.

Ding Feng, who was being tortured, was already pale, and beads of sweat on his forehead dripped onto the floor like he was dying.

But he kept clenching his teeth, never allowing himself to let out a cry of pain.

When Ding Feng was executing his sentence, Feng Xi, who had arranged for defense, happened to walk in from outside the tent. As soon as he entered the big tent, he saw this scene and immediately stood aside in fright.

When the military judge counted to 25, Ding Feng's buttocks were torn and bloody.

This tragic scene fell in the eyes of the generals, making them even more fearful.

But this scene fell in the eyes of Ding Feng's younger brother Ding Feng, but it made his face full of anxiety and worry.

Seeing his brother's tragic situation, Ding Feng wanted to plead with Mi Yang, but he saw Mi Yang's angry expression, but he didn't dare because he was afraid of Mi Yang's majesty.

Although Mi Yang used to have a gentle attitude in the past, once he gets angry, the deterrent effect he brings is also very strong.

Not long after, Ding Feng finally finished receiving the Thirty Army Sticks, and at this time Ding Feng had already fainted due to the great pain.

After Ding Feng received thirty sticks, Mi Yang's face changed from cloudy to clear.

At this time, Ding Feng could no longer restrain his inner concern. He threw himself on Ding Feng's body and cried, calling for his elder brother.

Ding Feng's performance made the faces of the generals in the tent look unbearable.

All the generals present knew that Ding Feng was a confidant general promoted by Mi Yang.

Now Ding Feng has become like this because he underestimated the enemy, what about them?

They sympathized with Ding Feng, but at the same time, they were deeply alert to themselves.

Mi Yang saw that Ding Feng was already unconscious. Although he also had concerns and worries in his heart, he couldn't show it at this time.

He first asked Ding Feng to take a few Han soldiers, and took Ding Feng down for treatment.

Then Mi Yang looked at Feng Xi who was standing inside the tent door, and he asked Feng Xi:

"Has Xiuyuan detected the specific military situation?"

Seeing Mi Yang questioning, Feng Xi hurriedly stepped forward to report to Mi Yang:
"According to the general's order, after the scouts sent by the subordinates to conduct strict investigations, we have roughly figured out the situation."

"The number of Wei troops arriving today should not exceed [-]."

After hearing that Feng Xi's detection confirmed his conjecture, Mi Yang let Feng Xi take a seat, and then he quickly thought about the countermeasures in his mind.
