Chapter 657
Zhong Shidao knew everything about the military formation well, but if he said that the objects he wanted to explain were those in front of him, he felt more powerless.

It is said that a scholar meets a soldier, but the reason is unclear.But when a soldier meets those scholars, how can he be able to explain clearly?His way of being a teacher is not a martial artist who doesn't know a few big characters. Although he has been in battle for decades, he is still a scholar-bureaucrat more than a warrior.That's why he showed more patience to Zhou Maosi and others, but even so, his heart was already filled with chaotic grass at the moment.

The training regiment continued to move forward, and soon entered a distance of one hundred and fifty steps. Zhong Shidao looked at the top of the city, and flicked his fingers lightly, as if looking for a certain rhythm. When Xie looked at him, Zhong Shidao flicked his finger suddenly, and shouted: "Beat the drum... shoot the arrow!"

Before the words were finished, a "boom" drum sounded suddenly from the opposite wall, and then a black spot rose into the sky above the wall.

Geng Nanzhong opened his mouth stupidly, his eyes followed the black spot from far to near, from high to low.Then fell into the crowd.

Immediately, the regiment trained soldiers and wailed loudly, and many people fell down among the dense crowd that swarmed up.Even if Geng Nanzhong and the others in the back line couldn't see the bloody scene on the front line, they could still find a large number of regimental trainees lying on the ground.Immediately he opened his mouth and shouted: "Tell the soldiers to speed up, the first to reach the top of the wall will be awarded the official Bao Yilang, and a reward of one million."

Geng Nanzhong didn't understand military affairs, but he was familiar with the most basic means of inspiring people.

It's just that when such a promise is conveyed to the soldiers, whether the previous siege troops have been defeated.

The regiment training soldiers who were shot were crying for their fathers and mothers, and the momentum was immediately stopped. Some people wanted to retreat, some wanted to move forward, and more people were at a loss.Go forward, they are timid; retreat, if you don't mention whether you are willing to be reconciled, or if you don't mention the fact that you haven't supervised the team, it's even more embarrassing.There are so many of them, but they didn't even reach the top of the city, so they ran back...

As a result, the entire team immediately dispersed, not to mention that there were many wounded soldiers crying, which made the soldiers and horses in the city even more chaotic.

Seeing that the regiment training outside the city looked like this, the defenders on the top of the city didn't need to be urged, so they fired arrows with all their strength.Luo Shaodong was wearing a much thicker armor than others, and holding a treasured sword, he patrolled back and forth on the city wall.

The crossbowmen in the city had already shot with all their might, the aim might be touching, but with so many people outside the city, they just shot at many places.The archers of the training regiment under the city also started to shoot on their backs, but their accuracy was even more impressive, and many of them failed to land on the top of the city.

There is no need for wood and rolling stones, just shooting arrows and crossbows is enough to defeat the enemy.

The strength of the defenders is not many, but before the training of the regiment in Guangnan, it was already like a moat.

After several rounds of arrow rain, screams broke out one after another in the formation. Those regiment training soldiers who insisted on charging forward were pinned to the ground. Others were scared out of their wits.

Zhou Bin bit his lip, his eyes gradually turned red. "Go and tell Luo Shaodong that Ben is going to open the city gate and kill him."

Although defending according to the city, he is as cowardly as a regiment training troops outside the city, and he has no worries about being broken into the city by him.But if you don't attack the city for a while, how can you get more military exploits?

He is not young, but now he is still in the mid-level position. If he doesn't fight at this time, when will he wait?

Lu Qian transferred him from the Northland to the pro-army as a regiment leader, but always chose to ask him to stay in Yidu. Zhou Bin knew the reason, and Lu Qian also considered it for him.But Zhou Bin is not reconciled, Shi Wengong who helped him at the beginning is now a general of Beijiang, is he going to be like this all his life?That's why he asked to be transferred to the south. He was originally going to western Jiangxi or Jiangnan, but he was eventually assigned to southern Hunan.

This is not too big, the difference between Ganxi and Hunan is almost the same, as long as they are not assigned to Jiangnan, Jiangxi or Xiangnan are the same. He is here to make the last effort, not to be entangled in where to be assigned.

"Go back quickly, go to attack the city, go up!" No matter how the regimental drill officer shouted, he couldn't stop the retreating regiment drill soldiers.

So when the gate of the city was suddenly opened, the suspension bridge was lowered, and Zhou Bin was wearing heavy armor and leading five hundred soldiers and horses to rush out, it was really like a hungry tiger pounced on the flock of sheep, and the goshawk chased the purple swallow.

With a big blow, he killed a regiment of training troops, lost a lot, lost a lot, scattered, seven losses and eight injuries, and ran away with their heads in their arms.One by one, the soldiers threw gold and drums, halberds and guns, looking for sons and fathers, calling for brothers and brothers.

Such a defeat was not actually the fault of the soldiers.It is a mistake in itself for a group of soldiers who have never received real military drills to charge forward and attack cities like elite soldiers.

During the Song Dynasty, the physical fitness of the Han people was not bad. Looking at the subordinates of famous generals such as Yue Fei who fought against the Jin Dynasty, the brave soldiers in their hands were probably the soldiers who fled during the Jingkang period.As long as they get the treatment they deserve, the training they deserve, and a general they can trust to lead them, the fleeing soldiers looking for money can especially make meritorious deeds on the battlefield.This is completely different from the huge difference in physical fitness between Chinese and Japanese officers and soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War.

Geng Nanzhong stood up fiercely, and said angrily: "Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, those who fail the emperor's favor, are really hateful. Under my order, anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"

Geng Nanzhong didn't see that the situation was over, he only thought about severely punishing those retreating regiments.It is to kill chickens and scare monkeys, so as to wake up the training of other ministries.

Zhong Shidao is already shaking his head. Only one group was defeated, but how can the other groups still have fighting spirit now?If others failed before, they can succeed, right?
Zhou Bin reined in his horse and withdrew his troops. He hadn't lost his mind yet. No matter how bad the team training was, there were still tens of thousands of people on the opposite side.There are only 500 people behind him, and it is daytime, so it is better to accept them as soon as they are good. "I hate that Grandpa doesn't have any cavalry under his command, otherwise he would have cut off the dog's head of Geng Nanzhong among the ten thousand troops."

The confidant on the side replied: "The Song army has suffered such a defeat, and it must set up camp outside the city. Why don't the general steal the camp tonight, and the whole army will be mobs, and the camp will be stable? Just let people enter quietly. , When the fire is set off at night, the general will lead the troops forward again, and he will be able to succeed, and that will be a great achievement." The quality of the regiment's training is too poor, if it can make them panic, I'm afraid they will not fight. defeated.

Zhou Bin was overjoyed at the moment. "It makes sense."

At the moment, just sit and watch the regiment outside the city train and gather the defeated army, reorganize the troops, and set up camp outside the city.After conspiring with Luo Shaodong, he immediately picked out brave men from the army.

At night, the stars and the moon are in the sky, and the hot evening wind is blowing.It was a rare clear night.

In the Nan'an Army City with four gates closed, all the trembling soldiers were ready to go. When in the dark night, the outline of the Song Army Camp suddenly ignited by the light of the stars and the moon, Zhou Bin The eyes of Luo Shaodong and Luo Shaodong lit up immediately.

"When things come to an end, you can't help but hesitate. I'll just go all out and kill one!" Zhou Bin looked at Luo Shaodong, who was hesitant, and felt a little angry.There is no opposition to this group of birds during the day, and it is only now that they show this face. Who can ask to see it?
He stopped looking at him now, and only called out loudly: "Kacheng."

Luo Shaodong had no choice but to obey when leading the Han soldiers out of the city first.Otherwise, if Zhou Bin fails, he will be the accomplice who killed nearly a thousand Han troops!

For his own sake, as well as for his family's sake, Luo Shaodong died by himself, and he didn't want to see Zhou Bin injured.Immediately suppressing the bitterness in his heart, he ordered his soldiers to rush out of the city.

There have been many fires in the Song Army camp, and the small flames are blown by the wind, and they immediately become powerful.Although the evening wind seen in the Lingnan Mountains is not as strong as that in the North, it is not weaker, especially tonight.

Numerous regiments of training soldiers woke up from the panic, and seeing the tents glowing red from the fire outside, they all fled out in a hurry.

At this time, Zhou Bin led his troops to the Song Army's camp.

"Fire the cannon, fire the cannon!" Looking at the messy Song Ying, Zhou Bin was happy to return to his wish, but he knew that this was the time to take advantage of the fire.

He only had four tiger squatting cannons in his hands. Amidst the rumbling sound, the four small cannons shot out hundreds of projectiles one after another. Within a distance of ten feet, these projectiles could maintain a terrifying destructive power.

The training regiment that was gathering at the gate——Zhou Bin and the others had already been spotted, and they were standing in line leaning on the antlers of the repelling horse in front of the gate.I was taken aback by the sudden explosion, especially the group of people in front of the camp gate, as if they had been harvested by a scythe, they all fell short immediately.

The four-door tiger squatting cannon, even if its power is limited, if it is bombarded by shotguns at close range, the regiment training soldiers shrouded in the bullets can only turn into blood gourds, and the dead can no longer die.Before the lingering sound disappeared, Zhou Bin had already raised his sword and shouted: "Kill, kill in—" leading the soldiers and horses to rush over, the regiment training in front of the camp immediately collapsed.

Master Zhong was so angry that he just wanted to vomit blood. He gathered some of the regiment's training troops outside the camp, just to create a partition.The fire in his camp was not so unmanageable. As long as he guarded the gate of the big camp, the soldiers and horses from the left and right camps would come out to pinch the enemy. There were far more enemies than there were, but they were still able to repel the enemy troops in the city.

But now?It was just four small gunshots, something that the people in Wuling didn't fear, but the Guangnan regiment trainees seemed to have seen an evil ghost, which really made Master Zhong intolerable.

The grandson Zhong Yanchong beside him was also dumbfounded, watching the frenzied defeated soldiers outside, like the water breaking through the embankment, they washed away all the regiments assembled in the gate, within a hundred steps, all turned their heads and fled back crowd.

"Grandfather, the situation is irreversible, and we must protect Mr. Geng from danger." Chong Yanchong shouted.He is the only grandson of a teacher.

In his sixties and ninety-nine years old, there is only this descendant left.His two sons, Di Gonglang, the official of Zhonghao, and the only prince of the pavilion, Zhongxi, both died early.Sun Zhong Yanchong and Zhong Yansong, but now only Zhong Yanchong is still with him, and that kind of Yansong has died young.In the official history, during the Shaoxing period, Zhao Jiumei ordered her nephew Chonghui to enshrine.

Geng Nanzhong had already rushed out of the big tent, he was stunned to see the scene in the camp, and cursed: "The imperial court has high hopes for Lian Yong, and rewards him heavily when he sets off, but he doesn't want to be greedy for life and fear of death, unbearable The generation, how can it be reasonable, how can it be reasonable!"

Zhang Jun, who had already arrived, was more anxious than Geng Nanzhong, and said bluntly: "Mr. Xiang should quickly send people to recruit soldiers to block these fleeing soldiers." Otherwise, even with his shallow knowledge of the army formation, he would know that Something is wrong.

Zhong Shidao and his grandson had already arrived, but they just shook their heads when they heard the words.The defeat of Lian Yong in the daytime is ridiculous, and the defeat in the dark is even more ridiculous.

Geng Nanzhong kept yelling and ordering, and he still wanted to force Wang Kuanglan, but there were thousands of braves in the camp, just like thousands of consciousnesses cohabiting in one body, the confusion of "thinking" was beyond imagination, how could he be able to do it with just a few shouts? stopped?It looked like the whole battalion practiced bravely and was defeated.

The scene has become a mess.
