Chapter 261 Long time no see

No matter what the choice is now, there will be no good result for the Song army defending the city.

The government troops led by Mao Dezu were originally arranged to guard Guanzhong because local soldiers had the belief of "defending their hometown" and had strong ability to withstand pressure.

Unexpectedly, Helian Bobo actually kept a back-up plan and let the captured Han people serve as cannon fodder and go to the front to disrupt the morale of the army...

"Go on the attack".

The order was given by Zhu Lingshi.

Compassion does not command troops.

Zhu Lingshi was awarded the title of general with a rare title among Liu Song's armies at a young age, and it was not because of Liu Yu's preference.

His military exploits were achieved through hard work.

As a general, his qualities were impeccable, so he made decisions quickly.

"Replace all the Guanzhong Prefecture troops on the front line to rest, and let our subordinates take the lead!"

The implication is that he will continue to shoot people outside.

"General Zhu..."

In comparison, Mao Dezu was older and older than Zhu Lingshi, but he was a little hesitant.

Obviously knowing that Zhu Lingshi's order was correct, but if he really wanted to attack the soldiers' relatives, Mao Dezu asked himself that he still couldn't remain indifferent.

"General Mao, execute military orders!"

The two of them might even have a joke in private, and Zhu Lingshi would give way to Mao Dezu in some matters because of Mao Dezu's qualifications.

But on the battlefield, Zhu Lingshi is the commander-in-chief!

Military orders are like mountains!

Mao Dezu was not an unreasonable person, and he would not blatantly violate military orders on the battlefield because of such things. He could only look away and appease the Guanzhong Prefecture Army.

The cruel war did not stop because of this episode. The Song army on the city wall was still stubbornly resisting Hu Xia's attack.

But everyone can feel that Song Jun has become different.

Before this wave of siege, the Song army officers and soldiers were all united and united to resist tenaciously.

But in just one day, the Song army in Xiaoguan was divided into two distinct groups.

One group is local soldiers from Guanzhong, and the other group is soldiers from the south who came from afar.

Comrades who were close friends just a few days ago are now strangers.

Just while having dinner in the evening, several conflicts broke out between the two sides.

In the end, it was Zhu Lingshi who personally pulled out a few inciting soldiers and locked them up in a small dark room, so that the conflict would not continue to expand.

But this is only temporary.

If the spark is not extinguished, there is always the possibility of it turning into a raging fire again.

Zhu Lingshi and Mao Dezu saw it, but they were unable to do anything.

They cannot expect those Guan Zhong soldiers to remain indifferent as they watch their blood relatives being shot and killed by their own people.

Let alone order our soldiers to stop attacking and let Hu Xia soldiers climb up the city wall.

Warmth is nectar that quenches thirst elsewhere, but it is poison that kills people on the battlefield.

It's a dilemma, both left and right.

"Helian Bobo, once this person becomes a person, he will be really scary."

The last time Helianbobo attacked Guanzhong, Mao Dezu was only a partial general, with Wang Zhene standing in front of him, so he didn't have a deep understanding of Helianbobo's terror.

And after experiencing the last failure, Helianbobo was undoubtedly more prepared, otherwise he would not have driven the captive Han people to attack the city.

Zhu Lingshi closed his eyes and opened them after a long time: "General Mao, please leave with that part of the government army."

"Their presence here is no longer a help. Instead, they have become a burden."

Mao Dezu frowned: "General Zhu, don't act out of anger."

Now it is difficult for Mao Dezu and Zhu Lingshi to team up with Helian Bobo, let alone Zhu Lingshi alone?

It is also said that Zhu Lingshi also sent some soldiers to guard the passes elsewhere. It is undoubtedly a fool's dream to rely on the remaining Song army to resist Helian Bobo.

"Ben will be sober."

Zhu Lingshi made a calculation to Mao Dezu:

"Let's count the combined force of the two armies as ten points."

"Now that there is a gap between the two armies, we are very afraid that we can only use four points. If the Guanzhong army leaves, our army alone will still have six points."

"The best choice is not to drag each other down."

"If the people in Guanzhong hold grudges in the future, let them hold grudges against me, Zhu Lingshi."

After a long while, Mao Dezu finally became speechless.

"General, take care."

At this moment Mao Dezu seemed to have gone through a lot of vicissitudes.

He seemed to understand the reason why he had been in the army for many years, was very senior, and had good military achievements, but he was overtaken by juniors like Wang Zhene, Tan Daoji and even Zhu Lingshi.

To be a general is beyond what a human being can do.

"A general is one who is wise, trustworthy, benevolent, courageous and strict."

Both are indispensable.

But there are also trade-offs.

I have read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu for a lifetime, but it is still difficult to understand these five words.

In other words, I simply don’t want to understand these five words.

After Mao Dezu led the Guanzhong army to leave Xiaoguan, the Song troops who stayed behind breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the number of people in Xiaoguan has decreased, the atmosphere has become much more lively.

Some soldiers even saw the Guanzhong Prefecture army retreating, and the string that had been tightened suddenly loosened, and they fainted and fell to the ground.

The pressure on the battlefield is almost suffocating, and off the battlefield, you still have to guard against your comrades. Not everyone is capable of bearing this pain. Now it seems that Zhu Lingshi's decision was right, otherwise it would be a matter of time before the camp was bombed.

Zhu Lingshi knew very well when to maximize morale. Some of the livestock stored in the pass were divided and eaten by the remaining Song troops. After being drunk and well-fed, he would be more powerful to resist the enemy!

When Helian Bobo attacked Xiaoguan again, he was also very keen to find that the number of Song troops in the city was much smaller.

"It seems that there is still something wrong with the Song army in the pass."

Using Han people as cannon fodder was indeed a move that Helian Bobo made after careful consideration.

Now looking at the situation of the Song Army in the pass, it seems that the effect is not bad!

"Since ancient times, conspiracy has been the most difficult to solve."

Even if it's a little cruel.

But in troubled times, if you have compassion in your heart, you will not survive until the end, and you will not be a winner.

"It depends on how long the Song Army inside can hold on!"

Helianbobo immediately sent more troops to attack Xiaoguan. At this time, the soldiers in Xiaoguan were like rocks facing the waves, and could only withstand wave after wave of the opponent's attacks.

Zhu Lingshi was already standing behind the female wall at this moment to observe the situation. When he realized that an area was about to be breached, he ordered people to go up and make up for it, suppressing Hu Xia again.

But after all, there were countless defenders in the pass, and Zhu Lingshi could not change anyone out of thin air. Soon even Zhu Lingshi went into battle in person and guarded a city wall. Whenever he saw Hu Xia soldiers climbing up, he would not stay

With enough force, he waved the sword in his hand and knocked it off the city wall.

Gradually, even Zhu Lingshi couldn't cope with it. When he was dealing with the enemy in front of him, he was a little careless. On the east wall, Hu Xia soldiers were already swarming up, clearing an open space on the wall.

Hu Xia has already attacked the city wall!

Outside Tongguan.

The sound of horse hooves roared along the ancient Weihan Ancient Road, and a cavalry wearing dark armor came from the east.

"Guanzhong!"

Liu Yizhen tightened his grip on the horse's head and looked into the distance, with a smile on his face.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"
