My country is dead again [Rebirth]

The next day, Shen Ci went to the west of the river as usual, and brought an extra thousand cavalry and a thousand infantry. This time the enemy chose to cross the narrow part of the river, and wanted to come from the low hills, but Shen Ci It was calculated that they would attack in a different direction, half of the troops had been ambushed and hidden near the hills, and the other half were lured into the enemy, finally catching them by surprise.

Just after Shen time in the afternoon, the western battlefield was over. Shen resigned from the sentry post in front of the battalion and looked down at the frontal battlefield from a height, only to realize that the situation was worse than he imagined.

Xu Zishen is worthy of being a battle-tested veteran. He knows how to grasp the opponent's weakness, and use his psychological fear to magnify that weakness to create a fighting opportunity.

And they undoubtedly fell into Xu Zishen's trap. They were led by Xu Zishen from the beginning to the end, and it was fine if they completely lost their initiative. Their formation was also in a mess.

The Jiangbei Army has gone through countless battles, big and small. Xu Zishen is well-managed and disciplined. This is a very mature and excellent army. It advances and retreats very quickly, and it is indeed very strange to meet suddenly on the battlefield. scary.

Xu Zishen used the method of fighting on wheels. The Jiangbei army took turns charging one batch after another. Everyone was wearing black armor. It looked like the same person had been reproduced thousands of times, and everyone was tireless. There is no end to such battles, and the already low morale will be worn down and become more fragile.

The soldiers of the three major battalions have experienced too few battlefields. Most of them have enjoyed comfort for a long time, and they have never experienced this kind of life-and-death struggle that hangs their lives on the tip of a knife. In other words, they have never really been born and died together. However, lacking the tacit understanding of the Jiangbei army, they are like a mess of sand when they are frightened, blindly obeying orders, but in fact they are fighting separately, and they are subconsciously retreating.

Yue Tingchuan had indeed tried his best, and his morale was also boosted. When he found it was useless, he changed his formation and gathered all the cavalry of the [-] Battalion to the front, but it was too late. In fact, the chaos will add to the chaos. From a distance, everyone is rampaging in a daze, without any rules.

It might last a while today, but what about tomorrow?

If things continued like this, Xu Zishen didn't need to fight any more, they would collapse internally first.

Shen Ci called out to a boy below: "Yu Shu, come here."

When the three major battalions transferred sergeants from various guards in Suifang, most of them were young sergeants. Many people who had known him in Nangu before were transferred to the three major battalions, and Yu Shu was among them.

Yu Shu ran up a few steps and asked, "Boss, what's the matter?"

"Tomorrow, Wu Xianying will lead the troops to Ximian, and I will explain to him what to do, and you all can help, just like these two days." Shen Ci enjoined, "The road they can go is nothing more than That’s the two, tomorrow I will ask Wu Xianying to bring more people, and you should arrange good people on both sides, follow the method I taught you. But don’t be stubborn if something happens, go back to the camp immediately and ask for help, you understand?”

"Boss, don't worry, it's absolutely fine." Yu Shu still had a baby face that didn't grow up, and his big eyes glanced at the distant battlefield, "Boss, are you going with General Yue tomorrow?"

"En." Shen Ci nodded, and the sound of gold clanging sounded on the battlefield, and Yue Tingchuan returned with his face covered in blood again.

The atmosphere in the entire camp was like the dark sky before the heavy rain, with dark clouds piled up, the rain lingering, and the sweltering heat lingering for a long time, annoying and irritable.

Shen Ci was waiting for him in Yue Tingchuan's camp. When he saw someone coming in, his face was more tired than yesterday. He knelt down on one knee and begged, "I request you to go with the general tomorrow, and leave the west to Wu Xianying. Everything will be arranged."

"Tell me what you want to do first." Yue Tingchuan was not surprised that Shen Ci wanted to go with him, but he had seen Shen Ci's risky behavior before, and the matter was already like this, he was a little uncertain, "Don't be too impulsive. "

"Don't worry, general, I won't do anything I'm not sure about." Shen Ci bowed his head respectfully, "The most important thing at this time is to re-boost morale and fight again tomorrow. We can't let everyone stop advancing and retreat. This is what we are doing now. The most terrible problem is that as long as one person retreats, everyone will follow suit, and the Jiangbei Army will overwhelm it like a broken bamboo, as if entering no one's land. If it weren't for the large number of us this time, and the best weapons and horses, we would have It failed miserably."

Yue Tingchuan washed the blood off his face, leaned on the desk and remained silent for a moment, and said, "Are you sure Wu Xianying's side is okay?"

"Nothing will happen. After two days of fighting, everyone knows how to fight. There are only two routes for the opponent to attack. We have fought them all." Shen Ci replied, "And Wu Xianying is not that bad, even if If something really happened, I knew that I would go back to the camp to ask for help, and I would not act rashly."

"Okay." Yue Tingchuan sighed and got Shen Ci up, "What's your plan?"

Shen Ci's eyes dimmed, and he said in a low voice: "The general will fight at the front tomorrow. I will be in the rear. If there is another person who retreats tomorrow, it will be my fault and I will be dealt with by the general."

The next morning the rain stopped, but the sky was still covered with overcast clouds, and the sky was oppressively gloomy. After staying under the canopy for a long time, it felt suffocating and suffocating.

After two consecutive days of being suppressed and beaten by the enemy, the morale of the army has dropped to the bottom. There is both timidity and numbness with no end in sight.

Yue Tingchuan dared to believe that if there was another accident on the battlefield today, there might be scenes of them throwing away their armor and armor and running away. collapsed.

The army was still leaving the camp in an orderly manner, Yue Tingchuan led the troops in front, Shen Ci finally confessed a few words to Wu Xianying, and led a few soldiers to follow in a leisurely manner.

At the foot of Qizhou City, Xu Zishen hadn't fought yet, so Shen Ci ordered the soldiers behind him to sprinkle a long white line with lime powder on the ground in front of him.

The soldiers looked at the white line suspiciously. Shen Ci rode on the horse with a calm expression. The horse's front hooves were barely touching the white line. He drew out his knife and tapped the white line on the ground. The soldier said: "Today, everyone can only move forward and not retreat. Whoever steps back across this white line—" His voice has faded from the clearness of a young man, and has become deep and clear to everyone's ears. , "Kill on the spot!"

When Yue Tingchuan heard it, he reined in his horse and looked at him in surprise, but he didn't say anything or stop him.

The white line on the ground instantly had the meaning of life and death. A pale line stretched across the battlefield where the smell of blood was hard to dissipate. It seemed a little shocking. The soldiers closest to the white line subconsciously took a step back.

Shen Ci stood behind the white line alone with a knife in his hand, looked at them coldly, and stopped talking, signaling them to listen to Yue Tingchuan's orders.

The surroundings were quiet for a long time, until Xu Zishen's soldiers and horses stepped on the ground, and the death-like silence was broken. The battle between the two armies also started suddenly in an instant, like raindrops falling from the sky. what omen.

It's raining again.

The sound of clashing weapons, the shouts of soldiers, the trampling of horseshoes, all the sounds gathered together, easily overwhelmed the sound of the pattering rain, the black armor, the silver-white blade, the bright red blood, and the monotonous colors The hazy rain curtain was also splashed with scattered thick ink.

The Jiangbei army placed by Xu Zishen at the front consisted of more than [-] people, divided into five batches. The first group of people charged forward, rushed forward like a gust of wind sweeping fallen leaves, and then quickly retreated. After making up for it, the offensive only increased, and one batch after another went back and forth. Every time they rushed, they ruthlessly ran over their front line of defense, pushing the front line forward a little bit.

On the contrary, their formation is retreating at a speed of at least one zhang. Although the more experienced elite cavalry are closely guarding the two wings and resisting the enemy's attack in an orderly manner, this does not hinder their attack. The Chinese army has been retreating.

Shen Ci can now be sure that Yue Tingchuan's psychological endurance is really strong. If he saw this kind of scene with his own eyes every day, he would probably have a heart attack, and this vulnerable morale would have too much impact, it would be like passing on to ten. The spread of the disease has dragged the entire army into endless panic and timidity.

The sound of drums and drums on both sides was originally a morale booster, but Shen Ci felt that for them now, it was more like a reminder from the king of Hades.

The battlefield is such a strange place. It is completely different from the usual two people fighting. Once a normal person makes a move, most of them will become more agitated and courageous. Even if this person may not have much kung fu, it does not prevent him from fighting people desperately.

But on the battlefield, there is an absolute suppression between power and strength. If you lose a fight, you can come back next time. If you lose a battle, there may be no next time.One person has the drive to be filled with righteous indignation when facing one person, and one person will realize his own insignificance and fragility when facing a group of people. Therefore, it is necessary to concentrate on the battlefield. A group of people is a real battlefield for a group of people.

Once the army can't get together to fight against the enemy, the spirit of never retreating, in everyone's heart, this is always a battle of one person against a group of people, and everyone will pour out their blood and fighting spirit in the face of death, thinking maybe back a little can survive.

Xiaoyu washed out a little color from the white line drawn by lime powder in front of Shen Ci, but compared with the color of sand, stones and blood, the white line was still very clear, Shen Ci lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on the front On the ground, I watched the horse's four hooves and the human's feet approaching the white line little by little.

It is said that the battlefield is a place that stimulates men's blood, and it is true for the Jiangbei Army. Killing and the smell of blood are commonplace on the battlefield. Why an army with high morale will become more courageous in battle is the result of killing and bloody stimulation.

The Jiangbei Army is a black tide, and it seems to be able to engulf everything it passes by, making it daunting, and it is impossible to imagine that it can defeat the power of creation.

There are three feet.

Winding bloodstains flowed in all directions on the sand and gravel. Shen Ci's eyes were cold. A white line separated one man and one horse from tens of thousands of troops. On one side was the noisy battlefield and on the other side was the sound of quiet rain.

The author has something to say: Xiao Xie: Daily question, did General Shen remember to write to me today?

Mother: No.

Xiao Shen: The signal on the battlefield is not good, and the line has been disconnected.

One of my own understandings is that when two people fight, it is easy to be aroused, which is why there are many cases of passionate killings, because for a person, one-on-one is generally a symbol of even strength. When someone beats you, you will Fighting back subconsciously, the fighting spirit is easily aroused.But war is a process that requires teamwork. Everyone's emotions are very important and will affect the emotions of others around them. Therefore, what is needed on the battlefield is to keep everyone fighting spirit, which requires extremely strong cohesion. Otherwise, no matter how sophisticated the army is, the result will be very bad.And the fighting spirit of never retreating is stronger than human beings imagined, which is why there are so many battles in history where the commander's personal ability is one thing, and the fighting spirit of the army is even more indispensable.Of course, I understand it blindly.
