Chapter 38 Soldiers have no will to fight

The army of Liang Shidu gathered slowly, but the scouts he sent were not slow. Luo Shixin's army's every move was under their surveillance.[

The Tang army lost those valuable items, and the news of accelerating the march immediately reached Liang Shidu's ears.

"Haha! Luo Shixin is just like that!" Mr. Liang was proud of his plan and thought that he had seen through everything.

Luo Shixin was brave, but their main purpose was to withdraw troops and return to Qingzhou and transport the hunted sheep and horses back to the Tang Dynasty. At this time, based on reason, the withdrawal of Yanzhou should be the top priority. No matter how bad they were in the Shuofang, they still had more than 30,000 soldiers. Even if they may not be able to defeat the Tang army, it would be more than enough to delay it for a little time.

The last time Luo Shixin attacked the Turkic Khan, he gained a lot and slapped him hard in the face of the Turkic Khan King Jie Li. For this reason, Jie Li was furious. Now Luo Shixin succeeded again, and Jie Li could not sit idly by. There must be a large army following him. At that time, Luo Shixin will face the danger of attacking two groups. How fierce Luo Shixin is, he can only destroy the two groups of attacks.

This basic truth, based on Luo Shixin's wisdom and strategy, should be able to see through it.

Mr. Liang was quite confident about this judgment and waved his hand and asked someone to call Feng Duan.

Feng Duan was his latest promotion to replace Liang Luoren's position. He has been following him for many years and is loyal to him and never disobeys him.

Master Liang was extremely proud and did not listen to others' opinions. Feng Duan's subordinates who ordered him like an imperial edict were most interested in him.

"General Feng, immediately order 20,000 troops and kill me to Qiwushan, and pursue Luo Shixin's Li Tang army." The Liang army issued combat orders as before, and did not make any discussion.

A trace of fear flashed in Feng Duan's eyes. He had always been obedient. When he heard that his opponent was Luo Shixin, he couldn't help but say, "This... Luo Shixin is brave and good at fighting, and is famous all over the world. He can fight 150,000 Turkic cavalry with 20,000 infantry, and only 20,000 soldiers and horses. I'm afraid he is not his opponent."

Liang Shizhan didn't think that Feng Shixin was too afraid to fight. Instead, he could understand that Luo Shixin was too capable of fighting. He rose to the world in just a few years. He has stolen the limelight, everyone knows it, everyone knows it, and even he is frightened. What's more, his subordinates? He was not angry here. Instead, he was very singularly: "I really didn't let you fight Luo Shixin, just act like a show. Luo Shixin and others are now accelerating their way south, intending to return to the Tang territories of Yanzhou earlier. You just need to lead the troops and follow slowly behind. When they return to Yanzhou and get the support of the southern border soldiers, they will retreat." He explained the reason in detail, and Feng Duan suddenly realized that it was just a show. He acted in a play.

Feng Duan was confident and took the order loudly. He ordered his troops to gather together.

In order not to let Liang Shi look down on him, Feng Duan was extremely fast and prepared 20,000 soldiers in a short time and left the city in a mighty manner.

Feng Duan left Shuofang City majestic. Before he could walk ten miles, he conveyed his order, marched slowly, and rushed to Qiwu Mountain at a snail-like speed.

Feng Duan was walking in the middle of dealing with it, but was thinking about how to go in the future.

The Tang Dynasty's sanctions on Shuofang were too harsh. Needless to say, the rumors made Shuofang No. 1 and 2 on the verge of turning against each other, and No. 3 even defected to the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, all the fields in the territory were destroyed by the Tang army's light cavalry. Now the food storage in the city is empty, and the military and civilians can only eat some food mixed with porridge, rice, and vegetables every day. Most of them are hungry. The low morale can be imagined.

The Tang Dynasty began to implement a policy of excluding food last year, but because of the initial savings in the city, the support of the Turks, and the food and grass smuggled through black-hearted vendors, it was barely enough to spend the year. Now the city has fewer reserves, and eating all the rice that has been planted may be able to survive the winter of this year. But what should I do next year?

If you don’t even plant rice, what’s the future?

Reminding of the strange incident that happened in Shuofang City some time ago, a white monster that looked like a wild cat but was not a wild cat fell from the sky and fell in the center of the square where the food was distributed. Feng Duan couldn't help but feel palpitations.

He didn't know what the white monster was, nor had he seen it before, but the scholars in the city recognized it as Tiangou and a strange beast recorded in the Shanhai Jing.

"There are many vermicelli and animals, called Tiangou. Its shape is like a raccoon and its head is white, and its sound is like a cucumber, which can protect against evil spirits..."

The ancients have always been superstitious, and Tiangou is one of the recognized great bad omens. That night, a fire broke out inexplicably in Shuofang City, and it was just a matter of responding to the bad omen that was about to happen.

"The Records of the Grand Historian Tianguan Volume" records: The Tiangou looks like a big galloping star, with sound, and the ground is like a dog, and it falls into the flames. It looks like a fire, and it soars into the sky." It is said that Tiangou is very bad, and a fire will occur wherever it goes.

This is a sign of a great ferocious destruction.

Although Feng Duan was a general, he was not immune to the common people. He believed in this prophecy and the warning from God. Thinking of the internal and external troubles of the Daliang Dynasty, he became more worried about gains and losses: Master Liang has valued him recently, and he should see it in his eyes, but the higher his status, the more he is, the more dangerous it becomes. What's the use of this high-ranking official and generous salary, and having no life to enjoy it?

Feng Duan didn't want to fight this battle at all, so he didn't focus on fighting. He was wandering around the world and remembered his future.

Just when he was thinking about it, he suddenly "kill-kill!!!!"

A shocking roar sounded beside him, and the deafening shouting brought out a strong wind, as if to shake his eardrums.

Feng Duan was shocked and fell off his horse in fear.

"What...what is the situation?" Feng Duan was so dizzy that he finally got up. He saw black in front of him: his helmet was tilted when he fell off the horse, which just blocked his eyes and straightened his helmet. The scene in front of him made him dumbfounded: countless cavalrymen in armor emerged from the hills extending to Qiwu Mountain and rushed directly to the side to think that they rushed over.

All the visitors were cavalry: the black armor reflected the yellow sunshine in late autumn, making them appear as gold-like, shining gold around them. A high-rise flag in the distance was standing straight in the air, and the sunlight shone through the flags, as if burning, with a few big words embroidered with dragons and phoenixes on them.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was only one general who was named General of the Army...

"Yes, yes, it's Luo... Luo Shixin..." Feng Duan exclaimed in a flash, frightened and his feet became weak. Fang Gan got up and almost lay down again. His speech was a little unscrupulous, and his voice was trembling unconsciously.

The other party was extremely fast and he was approaching in the blink of an eye.

"Go up!" Feng Duan was not ready for battle at all. He was in a hurry and could command the troops. He only knew to let the soldiers take the lead and block this wave of impact.

At this moment, the pros and cons of soldiers and the role of generals are reflected.

The real strong soldiers were ready for battle the moment they were attacked. The generals' orders were issued at once. They did not go back to consider whether the general's orders were correct. Before thinking, they instinctively put the execution of orders first. When an excellent general encounters this situation, they must make the most correct judgment and wise instructions at the first time to make the uneasy heart of the soldiers after they were attacked.

It is obvious that the Shuofang Army is far from reaching this level. Although Feng Duan is not useless, his combat experience is obviously not rich enough. If he fights too much, he wins less. Once he encounters such an emergency, he will not know how to deal with it.

The most important thing is Luo Shixin. Luo Shixin's existence is like a mountain pressing against Feng Duan's chest...

He didn't have the courage to fight him.

Even the chief general is like this, let alone soldiers.

In addition, the Shuofang Army has another fatal deficit.

Shuofang's soldiers were used to commander Liang Luoren. Liang Luoren was quite good at managing troops and could control the hearts of soldiers. Feng Duanfang had just taken the lead and had insufficient foundation, and most of the soldiers were not convinced by him. Especially in the recent shortage of food in Shuofang, Liang Luoren would win the greatest benefits for them. Feng Duan obeyed and sent him as much as the Liang army gave him, which would make him complain.

Many situations are so uneven that not many people execute Feng Duan's orders.

Luo Shixin was about to fight to the point, but no soldiers stepped forward to resist and became in chaos.

The two armies fought in one place in an instant.

Blood splattered everywhere, people and horses flipped.

Luo Shixin waved his spear, which was more than meter long. As soon as he contacted the enemy, he killed more than ten people and broke into the enemy's formation. He saw that the Shuofang Army had no intention of fighting and shouted: "Prevent the rebels! Only take the thief's heads, the remaining party does not ask, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Prevent the rebels! Only take the thief's heads, the remaining party does not ask, and those who surrender will not be killed!" The entire army had already understood it, and shouted loudly in unison, as if there was another attack in the air.

Seeing that the emperor had rushed to the front, the soldiers around him instinctively wanted to go forward to fight. This time, when they heard the call of "Only take the thief's head, the remaining party will not ask, and those who surrender will not be killed!", the soldiers in the Shuofang from all directions were significantly slowed down and their movements became hesitant.

Looking at the general wearing bright light armor under the other party's flag, Feng Duan's heart almost bent, which was a soul-chasing eyes, white fangs, and a spear drinking blood. In his eyes, Luo Shixin almost became a monster. Seeing them getting closer and closer, he heard the shouts at him, and finally couldn't stand the pressure and fled.

His running caused the little morale of the Shuofang Army, which had no intention of fighting and had a low morale to fall to the bottom...

Followed and ran away.

The five thousand cavalry of the Tang army were just a charge, and they were not hot enough to cause many casualties...

The other party actually ran away... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
