v3 Chapter 16： Morale battle

Dengzhou City Head.

Zhu Wen is very shy now, and he has sighed for three consecutive times. Looking at the banner of the army on the official road, he suddenly felt isolated.

Dengzhou is an ominous place. Now the city defense has been repaired for most of the time, but Zhu Wen has no sense of security. He felt that the Dengzhou City at his feet was a cage for him, and he was stranded here to sleep. The surrounding prefectures and counties are all desperate officers and none, none of them match well.

Zhu Zhen was defeated. Five thousand battles, but she did not win three thousand new recruits, but she lost more than half, and ended up in a wolf. Zhu Wen was very unhappy. The appearance of Jing Riding Wolverine when he fled back was an extremely bad sign in the eyes of the defender. It was a great blow to morale.

The people who were recruited in the city looked different in their eyes for the past two days. They were skeptical eyes. Obviously, the image of the brave and valiant warriors established in the minds of the people in Dengzhou after the original army broke Dengzhou is collapsing.

This is not a good phenomenon. If the official army came to attack the city, the situation was unfavorable, and the large households and the husband of the city took the lead in chaos, then Dengzhou City could not keep it.

Zhu Zhen's defeat triggered a series of negative reactions. Zhu Wen looked at them, but for a short while, there was no way to eliminate this effect. His scouts had already found out that Li Yan had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and soldiers, and the Pinglu Army had very good armor.

The newly defeated Dengzhou Army is in danger.

However, Zhu Wen could not blame Zhu Zhen, although he wanted to cut off the opponent's head. Even Promise is dead, what can Zhu Zhen do? This defeat, after all, is a crime of non-war. Zhu Wen was a bit unimaginable. No matter what Li Zhi said, he was also a prince of the dynasty. He had a distinguished position and was highly valued by Li Zhi. Such a character actually followed the pioneer to ride a war. Already.

But it is undeniable that no one can think of such a thing, and Zhu Wen did not expect it, so Zhu Zhen was defeated. But even if Zhu Wen thought about it, how could it be that even Wuji was defeated by Li Yan, it was a master of real life. Isn't Li Yan practicing the ninth layer of qi?

King An is indeed King An, and he does not follow common sense at all.

But my old Zhu is not just an ordinary person. He rises among the mountains and rivers, and became famous in the **** battles in the sand. That is also a man who is dangling. Why is he suffering this time?

After sighing again, Zhu Wen suddenly realized that such pessimistic emotions must be taboo. As the leading general, he must always be full of fighting spirit, otherwise he will be defeated without fighting.

Realizing this, Zhu Wen coughed a few times, straightened her back, and her eyes returned to life.

"Pang Shigu!" Zhu Wen waved a small school and said, "Go, bring people to bring the big households together in the city, and hold them together, you must not let him be half-moved!"

Pang Shigu is a dark man, looking dumb, and full of ingenuity and bravery. He clenched his fist and said, "Get the order!"

The official army attacked the city, and Zhu Wende had to guard against the large households in the city, cooperate with the official army, or cause any confusion. There are many such things. Although Zhu Wen was reluctant to admit it, compared with Da Qi, the people's mind was obviously more toward Datang.

Seeing the torrents of officers and soldiers converging in front of Dengzhou City, it became an endless ocean of iron armor. Zhu Wen's face was low, and he once again ordered: "Fear!"

One member snapped his fists: "What did General Zhu command?"

Zhu Wen looked at Huo Cun a few times. This was a brave man. Unfortunately, it was not his generals who had followed Huang Chao before. This time he led his troops to Dengzhou, and Huang Chao sent Huo Cun to help. It is actually Huang Chao's eyes and ears that they are helping each other. After all, Zhu Wen led the army to fight out, and Huang Chao could not even send one to follow.

Zhu Wen didn't have any bad feelings about Huo Cun, but he didn't like them either. He said: "Tang Jun will set up camp later. You lead the army and horses, and give them a headache to strengthen the army's prestige while they are standing still!"

The Dengzhou garrison has just experienced the defeat of Zhu Zhen. Now the army is besieging the city with great momentum and morale. The soldiers at the head of Dengzhou city have seen the fear of the army. This is obviously a low morale. Zhu Wen wants to keep it The city must use a victory to invigorate the army, otherwise Zhu Wen has lost before the offensive and defensive battle of the city.

Huo Cun heard Zhu Wen's order and promised with his fists. Zhu Wen's idea is not wrong, but Huo Cun is not optimistic. There are more than 100,000 troops outside the city. Whoever goes out to challenge will not be optimistic. It is good to win, and it can boost the morale of the army. If he loses, it will be a question of whether he can return.

However, Huo Cun also knew that letting him out of the city was not to fight more than 100,000 officers and soldiers, but he was holding a weak area while the opponent's defense was not tight enough, which caused some confusion in the past. Quickly rushed out, the Thunder fought, and left after the fight. As for the record, you don't need to pay too much attention to it, killing dozens or hundreds of people is already remarkable.

The key to this battle is to show that our department is elite. In the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, we can move forward and back without fear. This is a battle of morale, not a battle of life and death.

Huo Cun glanced at the army outside the city, feeling a headache. These dense people, like rice, gathered in a sea of ​​iron armor, even if they set up camps separately, it is not a good stubble. After all, it was an army of 3,000 riders who could defeat Zhu Zhen and 5,000 fine riders. Even though Huo Cun thought he was brave, his heart was abrupt.

Seeing Huo Cun's doubts, Zhu Wen patted his shoulder and said, "The officers and soldiers are not the same, and they are not so quick to act. With the bravery of the generals, as long as they fast-forward and retreat, they must be arrogant!"

Huo Cun saw that Zhu Wen had said all about this, and there was no retreat. Since there was no retreat, Huo Cun's bloodiness was raised, temporarily overwhelming his fear, and he fisted loudly: "General Zhu, rest assured, In the end, we will not humiliate our mission! "

More than 160,000 troops arrived outside the city of Dengzhou. Li Zhi's layout was simple and surrounded by thirty-one. The army first set up its defensive formation, and then set up troops. It is not too early, and it is not difficult to set up camp before sunset.

After the military order was promulgated, Li Xun scrutinized Dengzhou City Defense with his horse. Now he is looking at it from a close distance and seeing it more earnestly.

A large group of generals stood in front of the tower, and Zhu Wen was surrounded by the crowd. Li Wei waved to him and said hello, after all, they were acquaintances.

Soon, outside Dengzhou City was busy, the Mercedes-Benz's rides, the array of infantry, logging, ditching, and building camps, all under the order of their respective schools, orderly advance the work at hand.

Suddenly, Li Zhi heard the noise outside the East City Wall. He looked around because the walls were blocking and he couldn't see the situation clearly.

After Zema turned around the corner and had a wide field of vision, Li Xuan immediately saw that hundreds of cavalrymen had rushed to the front of the army under the leadership of a general.

Li Zhe looked at the horse, and saw that the hundreds of horses were unusually strong, and he chose a few places where the official troops were scarce. He quickly dismissed a group of riders in front of him and rushed to the front of the official infantry.

The army archers were unable to release arrows because they were jealous of their own riders, but the hundreds of riders had no jealousy. They swung a bend in front of the infantry formation and became parallel to the infantry array. One fires a crossbow.

After a burst of crossbow arrows shot, the array of shields with poorly arranged officers and soldiers immediately fell down a whole row, just like the cut wheat, and the screams continued. The hundreds of riders didn't stop at all, rushed to the camped army, and fiercely slashed them, chasing the officers and soldiers and fleeing, and thirty or forty people died.

Hundreds of riders still refused to give up. The first rider also carried the bravery. The rider who rushed under him had no one enemy, and was quickly killed by him.

Until this time, the time has passed a full moment, the brigade of the official army is still not organized, not to mention the infantry running fast, and the array closed. In the end, these hundreds of horses scuttled for a while, and went in and out of the infantry, breaking through the blockade of the riding horses and entering into a state of no one, just like the heavenly soldiers.

When the officers and men finally sent a cavalry to fight, they were already gone, and did not enter through the city gate, but instead went to the north city and entered the city from the north city gate.

Seeing hundreds of soldiers riding into the city, the garrison soldiers on Dengzhou's city walls burst into a mountain-like tsunami, and morale rose to an extreme.

If you go to the big place, these hundreds of riders can also be regarded as being in the hundreds of thousands of troops, entering and exiting a few times. If you enter a state of no one, killing one or two hundred people, you will not lose a few, and the record is glorious.

The army cavalry chasing them had to stop in front of the moat, because the cable bridge had already been pulled up, and they could only scream and angrily, and looked even more unbearable.

After seeing this scene in full, Li Yan looked slightly heavier.

Zhu Wenha laughed in front of the tower and was very proud. This battle has no effect on the overall situation, with less than two hundred people killed and injured. It is placed in a army of more than 100,000 people. It is worth mentioning, but the impact on morale is vital.

It is conceivable that Zhu Wen is bound to publicize this war situation, so that the military heart of the Dengzhou garrison has stabilized, and morale is likely to rise.

"Whose barracks is that?" Li Zhi asked the commanding soldiers to call the emissaries, and asked in a cold voice.

Now serving as the ambassador to the army, it is Zhou Ji, the envoy of the Zhongwu Army. He only glanced and replied, "The camp of Wangshu, Caizhou."

When Zhou Zheng said this, his face was very ugly. Although Wang Shu was Qin Zongquan's general, Qin Zongquan was still his general in name, so Wang Shu was also his person.

The defensive arrangement in that area is very loose and without rules, which is in stark contrast to the strictness of other parts.
