I'm a detective for Dongchang

Any powerful group is often invincible on the outside, and the only way to defeat them is to collapse from within.

Xiao Qingbai recalled: "In the beginning, everything was fine."

The heroic days of the past are vividly remembered--
"I heard that you have some opinions on the Warriors' Battalion, the Valiant Battalion, and the Tiger Army." Xiao Nansheng said straight to the point, standing on the high platform, facing the dense crowd of soldiers in the audience.

"Do you think that after entering Jingzhou, everyone also fought wars, killed enemies, and made meritorious deeds, so why didn't they get the title?" Xiao Nansheng smiled: "Let's talk about the brave camp and the warrior camp first." Xiao Nansheng's The tone suddenly increased a lot, and he said: "I remember, that time was to attack the camp of the Japanese pirates in the north. It was the first battle after the reorganization of the Xiao Family Army. The Warrior Battalion attacked the pontoon bridge, and cooperated with the Valiant Battalion to indirectly eliminate three of the most elite cavalrymen of the Japanese pirates." One-tenth of the combat power, and because of their combat, the tens of thousands of Japanese pirates could not cross the river, laying the most solid foundation for our victory."

"In this battle, they bravely captured the enemy chief Axituo. With such a record, this general named him. Soldiers, do you have any opinions?"

"No!" There was a thunderous voice from the audience.

The achievements of the Warrior Battalion and the Valiant Battalion are obvious to all, and the training and selection of the Warrior Battalion are countless times more difficult than other soldiers.In the battalion, countless soldiers died of exhaustion during training.However, there are still countless soldiers who want to join it, because the treatment of the three teams is dozens of times better than that of other ordinary soldiers.Once each of their actions is successful, Xiao Nansheng's rewards will be extremely generous.

"All the warriors of my Xiao family army who have achieved a certain amount of military exploits can apply to join the above three battalions! If the legion is outstanding in combat, after accumulating a certain amount of military exploits, they will also be ordered to use the mighty bugle! Everyone, fight the enemy bravely! "

Xiao Nansheng's words completely aroused the soldiers' desire to fight the enemy bravely and make meritorious deeds.Generals hope to be canonized and honored, while soldiers hope to get more rewards and salaries.

For a while, the military camp was full of fighting spirit, and many generals of the army who had not yet been canonized kept walking around in front of Xiao Nansheng's big tent, hoping to receive the combat order from Xiao Nansheng.However, for the next month or so, the general seemed to have no intention of launching an attack.

The scale of the Nantong City Gate is getting taller and taller as it is built, and it is larger than the Baka City Gate across the bank.

It wasn't that Xiao Nansheng was unwilling to fight, but that he didn't have the conditions to fight.

The capture of Axituo did not bring a devastating blow to the Bagan front.

Especially the great prince of Bagan at that time, with the support of all ethnic groups, quickly marched to Baka, while the defeated generals in Axituo's army heard that Xiao Nansheng's own general had been captured, immediately lost the courage to fight again, and ran away in despair He went back and quickly joined the eldest prince.

Although the eldest prince is young, he is more proficient in military strategy and calmer than his father.

He knew very well that Xiao's army on the opposite bank was powerful in combat, so he did not take the initiative to provoke for the time being, but also built a series of fortifications along the river to prevent Da Jin's army from crossing the river for a sneak attack.

"The eldest prince is very ambitious and vowed to take Nantong as his own. The spies he sent also obtained a lot of information about us." Xiao Qingbai unknowingly drank a whole pot by himself, but still asked the boss to continue to add wine .

Based on the information obtained by the spies, the eldest prince learned that the Xiao family army is a solitary army going deep, and food and grass will inevitably be unsustainable. As long as the city defense project is completed and their steps to the south are blocked, the combat effectiveness of this army will inevitably decline over time. There is no other option but to retreat. Other methods.

At this stage, it will be time for Bagan's counter-offensive. For this reason, the eldest prince even ordered to dispatch another [-] elite troops from neighboring cities to Baka City, preparing for the decisive battle with Xiao Nansheng in the future. Emboldened.

Xiao Qingbai spat: "Hmph, they underestimated General Xiao too much."

Taking advantage of the time when the eldest prince was lining up his troops, Xiao Nansheng was not idle. He first recruited the Bagan prisoners captured from the battlefield and incorporated them into the engineering army, which was specially responsible for building city walls and roads.

In addition, during this period, Xiao Nansheng's greatest victory was to force Ding Lun, the garrison of Baka City who had not had time to withdraw, to surrender without bloodshed.

At that time, Ding Lun was the first batch of vanguard troops ordered by the King of Bagan to march into the deep cave of the gold mine, and then was forced to retreat into the mountains to hide by the Xiao family army. They were surrounded heavily, and the reinforcements could not come in for a long time. very hopeless.

Even so, he did not dare to surrender easily.

Xiao Nansheng came up with a way, and after hanging Axituo outside Ding Lun's camp for a while, Ding Lun made up his mind and immediately set up the camp to surrender.

This general has been captured by the enemy, and he, a soldier, is still resisting.Besides, Ding Lun is not the kind of person who is loyal. If he was not worried that after he led the soldiers to surrender, Axituo would poison the tribe and vent his hatred, he would have surrendered long ago.

Moreover, Xiao’s army’s non-aggression does not mean non-harassment. Every day, a large amount of various domestic garbage is thrown outside the camp. Xiao Nansheng ordered his men to throw them into his camp with catapults. The young soldier was also infected with the disease because of this, Ding Lun hated it very much but had no other choice.

This is just one of Xiao Nansheng's many interference methods.

The most wicked thing was the noise attack from Xiao's army. Every night, they rolled out countless war drums and beat them around the camp. During the period, they also cooperated with the harassment of a small army, which made Ding Lun and the soldiers extremely nervous and unable to sleep.Not to mention that, at midnight, Xiao Nansheng would send military musicians to play mourning songs, causing the morale of the soldiers in the camp to plummet and almost collapse.

Hearing this, Lu Xizhi and Beixue laughed at the same time. Under such a double attack, even if Xiao Nansheng didn't attack, Ding Lun and his soldiers would not last long.

So after seeing Axituo captured, Ding Lun simply smashed the jar and surrendered. Fortunately, Xiao Nansheng didn't embarrass them, and he didn't even confiscate the weapons. He just gave them a number and asked them to do fortifications .

Ding Lun was not dissatisfied with Xiao Nansheng's arrangement.

Xiao Nansheng did not kill or humiliate these alien troops who surrendered. Compared with the behavior of King Bagan's treatment of captives, there is a difference between heaven and earth.The king not only treated prisoners of war cruelly, but also liked to kill innocent people indiscriminately. If a village found someone cowardly surrendering to the enemy, he would slaughter the entire village as an example. contradiction.

And Xiao Nansheng, in order to show his trust in Ding Lun, brought only dozens of people to Ding Lun's camp to accept the surrender. Such a mind made Ding Lun admire him very much, and it was difficult for him to turn his back on him for a while.

After solving Ding Lun's trouble, Xiao Nansheng began to think about how to deal with Axituo.In view of Axituo's special status, Xiao Nansheng was extremely cautious in handling it, and the army also had different opinions on this. For example, the brave and skilled fighters suggested that Axituo be beheaded for public display, and then hang his body by the riverside as a deterrent. The Bagan army on the other side; and the more conservative generals suggested to conquer others with virtue, like Ding Lun, for their own use.

But when the big tent was still discussing countermeasures, it received the emperor's imperial decree, ordering the army to continue to go south, and with the assistance of Chang Chonghu, Feng's army and Yunxianghou, Baka City was taken down.

It was supposed to be all working fine...

"But... there is a bastard in the army!" Xiao Qingbai gritted his teeth, and the wine glass shattered with his palm.
