When two armies face each other, their fighting spirit and courage must also compete with each other in terms of momentum.
Although he had decided to take action personally, he was tricked by the enemy. Seeing that the whole army was a little impetuous, Wang Zheng thought about it for a while and decided to arrange for someone to go forward and scold the formation first.
Scolding battles often appear in siege battles. They are usually used when the defenders have deep ditches and high fortresses, or the formation is tight, and a strong attack cannot be effective or the damage is large. It is a tactical method used to force.
The defenders took the initiative to attack.
Of course, the scolding battles recorded in official history are either only mentioned briefly or are not mentioned in detail, so they are rare.
After all, winning by means of "talking" is actually unfair and dishonorable. History is written by the victors, so it is natural for them to gloss over their faults.
However, in the Spring and Autumn Period and even the Han Dynasty, the effect of "stimulating generals" was very obvious, whether it was for one's own subordinates or even for the enemy.
Therefore, scolding wars are actually quite common.
For example, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Ma Mengqi attacked Tongguan, he saw that Cao Cao's army was garrisoned and it was not suitable to attack by force, so he resorted to scolding and let a group of Xiliang soldiers lie down and sit under the city to "destroy Cao Cao for three generations."
Although I didn’t write down the filthy words in detail, I’m pretty sure they were all based on Cao Cao’s origins and three generations of ancestors.
ugly")
Because this is Cao Mengde's biggest pain point, stain, and the most painful psychological pain for him and even his clan. At that time, the guard of Tongguan was Cao Hong (Cao Cao's cousin).
You can't criticize and attack you for massacre of a city. Not only will people not care, they may even be complacent and proud of it.
Anyway, the result is that even if Cao Cao told Cao Hong in advance not to take the initiative to fight with Ma Chao, but to defend the city for ten days, even if the mission was completed, however...
On the ninth day of the Xiliang soldiers' scolding, Cao Hong couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't bear it anymore!
He went to war in anger and fled after being defeated. Not only did he lose Tongguan, but he also destroyed Cao Cao's entire strategic plan at the time.
In the eyes of later generations, many generals during the Three Kingdoms period were too rash in their actions. Meng Lang was really "a small impatience can mess up a big plan." In fact, this is a bit one-sided. After all, the so-called time has changed, and people at this time paid the most attention to it.
Reputation, a bloody era, and some strategies that are impossible to realize in future generations just have the soil to grow.
Since time travel, although the royal government has attacked many cities, it has rarely used the method of "scold war" before.
Because he was a "keyboard warrior" in his previous life, but no keyboard warrior would really want to be a person with the toughest mouth.
Sometimes the people who want to be heroes the most are the ones who spend their entire lives being clowns.
But just because he didn't use it didn't mean he didn't know it. Being teased by the enemy general this time made Wang Zheng angry and evil, and he wanted to insult the opponent.
The sky was dawning and clouds were gathering. Thousands of troops and horses were facing each other inside and outside the city, on top of the city. Soon after, more than a hundred people were seen swarming out. Most of them were villagers with strong voices and strong voices.
For a while, the filthy words resounded non-stop.
Even more vulgarly, he directly took off his pants, exposed his bare buttocks, pointed and shouted: "Guangling people, don't you have balls?"
"It's my magnanimity that I'll let you take a good look at it today. It's something only a real man can have!"
This scene made the Heavenly Army and Yuan's army burst into laughter, and the Guangling Army's city wall opposite immediately started making noises, seemingly quite angry.
After scolding for a long time, the breath of the person scolding weakened and gradually stopped.
At this time, the morning sun was rising in the clouds, and the morning was gradually no longer gloomy. Wang Zheng felt bad, nodded with satisfaction, and was about to order a formal attack on the city...
But he saw a sudden flash of fire in front of him, and the next moment there was a dazzling battle, and the city gate burst open.
Hundreds of Guangling's cavalry rushed out with shouts and shouts, and immediately, accompanied by rain of arrows and rocks, their horses' hooves clattered and they charged towards them.
If the city wall is used as a bow and the city gate is used as a string, then the cavalry is used as an arrow. The enemy of the country will use the archer to draw the bow and shoot the arrow.
Looking at the number of people, it seems that they are not here to attack, but more like to kill the soldiers who are scolding.
Are you barking happily? Are you looking down on us?
I'm going to kill your dog's head!
Is it so effective? Wang Zheng was overjoyed and immediately waved his commander's flag: "Step forward to meet the enemy, and you must protect the brothers who have done meritorious service!"
Just kidding, if these people were to kill these scolding people, wouldn't it lower morale even more?
As soon as the order was given, the second and third level cavalry, who were already ready to go, immediately galloped forward with their horses hooves running at full speed and rushed forward in an instant.
The Guangling County cavalry is approaching.
At the same time, everyone in the Qingzhou Archery team stretched out their arms and bows, preparing for long-distance support.
The two armies were not facing each other right next to the city. There was a no-man's land in the middle. In addition, there was a man-made moat outside Yuguo City. Although it was not very wide, it was still a hurdle after all. Wang Zheng glanced and saw the enemy.
After the cavalry left the city, the suspension bridge had not yet been pulled up. For fear of causing alarm if the order was given, they directly arranged the order in the system and urgently ordered the attacking cavalry unit to set out some turning directions to seize the suspension bridge. They also immediately prepared to go into battle in person and directly used
Individuals used force to seize control of the city gate.
The worst is to force the suspension bridge to be raised in advance, cutting off the retreat of this group of cavalry and completely annihilating them!
On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly, and the focus shifts instantly.
It was no longer about the entanglement between the hundreds of Guangling cavalry and the Heavenly Army cavalry and infantry in the field, but about the battle for the suspension bridge.
However, the enemy general on the opposite side was not incompetent. Although he did not know why he wanted to send the cavalry out of the city, it was a dangerous journey. Naturally, he was well prepared. He also expected what the heavenly army might do to deal with it and how to deal with it.
While the trebuchets were covering the city, nearly a thousand infantrymen poured out of the city gate and lined up behind the bridge. At the same time, they fired their bows and crossbows to block the approaching cavalry of the Heavenly Army.
But the fighter plane came unexpectedly, and the war ended unexpectedly.
Seeing that the Guangling Army's cavalry was about to crash into the scolding infantry at the front line at the next moment, and at this time the Heavenly Army's cavalry responsible for rescuing was still a mile away, Wang Zhengzheng frowned slightly, but he saw gongs going on at the top of the city.
Amidst the clang and clang, the Guangling cavalry circled around and avoided the red scarf infantry in formation. They only fired a wave of arrows and shot down two or three people.
When they were still some distance away from the suspension bridge, they had already retreated.
"What does this mean?" The personal guard next to Wang Zheng was dumbfounded and looked confused: "Why are you going back now?"
He has followed Wang Zheng for a long time and gained some experience. Shooting in such a hurry and on a fast horse, he is not a sharpshooter. How can he cause many casualties? Even for the few people who fell to the ground, I am afraid that the most is
Just injured.
"It's just a fight for morale." Wang Zheng smiled.
Since the beginning of the war, it seems that the two sides have only fought once with real swords and guns, but in fact they have fought openly and covertly three times.
For the first time, the other party used a false shot to scare and harass;
The second time, Wang Zheng arranged a scolding formation to answer;
In addition to the third time just now, the enemy general sent people out of the city to kill the rude people, all for the purpose of boosting their own morale.
In any battle, it is just about attacking and defending. Attacking is not just about attacking the city and attacking the formation, you must have a way to attack its heart; defending is not just about finishing the jade and strengthening the formation, you must have a way to defend your spirit.
"Wu Qi's Art of War" requires generals to be "civil and military", "hard and soft", and possess the "five principles" and "four abilities."
Among them, the four mechanisms are nothing more than mastering the four key factors of Qi mechanism, earth mechanism, event mechanism and force mechanism.
If you seize its heart, you can attack; if you guard my energy, you can defend it with your feet; if you solidify the four organs, your energy will be the best.
But in Wang Zheng's view, these tricks by enemy generals are exposing their own shortcomings.
"The enemy general should be a civil servant." He made a judgment. Looking at the guards around him, he was still a little confused. He couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the puzzle?"
"It's about fighting for morale." When the soldier saw Wang Zheng taking the initiative to teach him, he asked directly: "Why did you only shoot a wave of arrows and then withdrew?"
"Although there are quite a few of the people we just scolded, they are all infantry, and they are no match for their cavalry."
"Could it be that the general saw that the general wanted to take the drawbridge and was afraid of losing the key point, so after weighing the matter, he chose to withdraw the cavalry?" The soldier thought for a while and came to a conclusion.
"That's right." Wang Zheng nodded appreciatively. When he first followed him, this personal guard had no other merits except loyalty and physical fitness. Over the past year, he has improved a lot and is no longer a purely rude person.
.
"It is precisely because of this..." Wang Zheng curled his lips: "I said that the guard must be a scholar!"
"It is prudent and strategic to plan ahead before dispatching and not to waste any time."
"But there is a plan, but it is changeable. When we attack, we dare not use all our strength. When we defend, we cannot overcome our perseverance. We have neither the courage of a soldier nor the decisiveness of a general!"
"This person is nothing to worry about," he slapped his sword with a mocking smile on his face: "I have even lost interest in playing with him!"
"Send the order, after a cup of tea, the whole army will attack."
valley
"Here!"
.....
"The whole army attacks!"
The war drums urging the attack rumbled, and the sky-shattering killing cries were heard. The heavenly army surged forward like an angry tide. In the hour and a half before this, the infantry had already braved the rain of arrows to guard the city gates needlessly.
All the antlers and other obstacles outside were cleared.
At this time, there are no more obstacles at the gate of the city, and it is really smooth sailing!
The turbulent iron stream, carrying a breathtaking whistling sound, crossed a long distance almost instantly and reached the bottom of the city. Wang Zheng took the lead in climbing up the ladder.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Shoot at the one with the crown!"
A loud shout of surprise rang out from the top of the city, as if they had discovered that Wang Zheng, a great figure like a general, had actually rushed to the front, and immediately wanted to greet him first.
In an instant, thousands of crossbows were fired in unison, and thousands of arrows jumped out, simultaneously greeting Wang Zheng all the way.
This was not the first time that Wang Zheng took the lead. He had already been prepared for this. He directly pulled the ladder with his right hand and pulled out the Ten Thousand Miles Voltage with his left hand. With a clear whistle, the blue light surged, and the ground was like a complete light shield.
Swinging all the feathers and arrows away, he stepped lightly at the same time and was up in the air in an instant.
Seeing that he was only two feet away from the top of the city, there was another roar from the top of the city, followed by the sound of sonorous gold and iron. An enemy general who didn't know what weapon he used directly chopped off all the hooks on the top of the ladder.
After breaking, several people on the top of the city were heard exerting their strength, and thousands of people below the city were heard screaming. The ladder where Wang Zheng was was pushed away by someone, and it was about to tip over at the sight of it.
Suddenly he felt his body sinking, and Wang Zheng felt a shiver in his heart. The wall of Yuguo was not high, and with his high physique, he would be most injured if he fell, and it would not be fatal. But if he fell to a disgraced face in full view of the public, then what would be the dignity of his general?
?
At the critical moment, he didn't have time to think carefully. He suddenly let go of the ladder and put his left foot directly on the city wall. He let out another shout and inserted the long sword directly into the wall brick. After stopping the inertia of sliding down, he started doing this again and again. In the middle of his breath, he had already
His body suddenly rose more than ten feet tall.
The use of hands and feet like this was a sign of the sharpness of the divine sword, but in the eyes of the two armies, it was as if they were watching a man walking on the bare city wall. It was really miraculous, and simply extraordinary.
Suddenly, there was silence both above and below the city. Tens of thousands of eyes were fixed on him, speechless.
I never thought that level four running could have such an effect?
As soon as he stepped onto the city with his left foot, Wang Zheng first secretly called out his luck, then looked at the stunned enemies around him, raised the corners of his mouth, and revealed a cruel and ferocious smile.
"Tell me, who pushed the ladder?"
He turned his head, glanced at the whole place with cold eyes, and snorted: "Huh?"
"kill him!"
Awakened by his words, a general of the Guangling Army reacted immediately and reminded all the soldiers: "This is a high official, and there is only one person!"
yes!
Everyone has reacted. Now there is only one enemy on the top of the city!
Judging by his attire, he looks like a general!
Even though the scene where Wang Zheng climbed the wall just now was a bit shocking, after all, he is currently alone, and if the enemy who is not easy to deal with is allowed to stay at the top of the city and more enemy troops are allowed to come up, it will be a bigger trouble.
Bar?
With this thought in mind, the Guangling Army immediately rushed forward.
"Have the guts!"
While commenting indifferently, in an instant, Wang Zheng and his sword turned into a cyan afterimage that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. That was definitely not a power that humans should have, let alone a speed that ordinary people could achieve!
next moment.
The screams continued to sound.
The soldiers were easily chopped and torn apart, their bodies were broken into large pieces of flesh and blood, and their armor and weapons were turned into metal fragments, spread all over the ground.
five,
ten,
Twenty!
In just a few breaths, dozens of people turned into corpses, with residual limbs and flesh filling the passage.
"But it's no use."
Wang Zheng shook his sword, and the long sword shook off the blood and regained its pure and breathtaking brilliance. He looked around, gripped the long sword again, and continued to rush to the next battlefield.
In other words, it's a slaughterhouse.
.....
Another wave of enemies rushed up, led by Dub, who was unusually tall and holding a giant axe. He was invincible and could see all the heavenly troops. When Wang Zheng saw this, his eyes turned cold and he shouted loudly,
Quickly meet that Dub.
The sword and ax collided, sparks flying.
The enemy general blocked the first sword, but his jaws burst open and he screamed in pain.
The second sword struck the enemy general with a look of disbelief on his face, and the giant ax was cut in half by the divine sword.
The third sword, with a shrill cry, a breathtaking blue light lingering on the blade, directly cut off the enemy general's helmet and half of his head, and even cut half of the uncle's body into two pieces.
cut.
The power of a sword is so powerful!
Just when he had just won, an enemy from the side launched a sneak attack. A spear suddenly appeared and stabbed his abdomen. Wang Zheng only felt a slight pain in his abdomen, but he didn't care. He glanced at the enemy's dull face.
Without stopping for a second, he slashed open the attacker's skull with a sword.
This...invulnerability?
What a monster!
Seeing that Wang Zheng was stabbed and nothing happened, coupled with the bravery of the other party and the monster-like terror of the enemy, finally made even the bravest people feel fear and lost the will to fight again. The Guangling Army
They were pushed back and forth, but no one dared to continue charging.
They didn't dare to get close, but Wang Zheng was impatient and continued the stalemate, taking the initiative to step forward.
Just as footsteps sounded, there was a crash, and everyone turned around and ran away.
Wouldn't it be better to surrender?
Wang Zheng sighed, and then he wiped his face casually. His fingertips felt warm, moist and slippery, which was caused by the blood and flesh on his face.
At this time, the boy's body was covered in blood.
And the outcome is approaching the stage of being decided.
All the walls on all sides of Yucheng have been captured. The next step is to seize command of the city gates, and the overall situation is decided.
"Go to the city!" He waved his hand crisply.
"Here!"
Behind him, a hundred soldiers from the Tianzhu camp and Yuan Jun suddenly agreed.
Even though it was not the first time they had seen General Tiangong's bravery, everyone was still deeply shocked every time they saw it with their own eyes.
Even...fear.
Even though they were in the same camp, seeing this inhuman strength and cruelty still made them unable to control their bodies and trembled instinctively.
On the way down to the top of the city, everyone was watching or stepping on the corpses scattered all over the place, which further deepened this feeling.
Most of them were killed by General Tiangong alone...
And those Guangling troops who were so frightened that they collapsed completely...
Even though many people are illiterate, they have the most true understanding at this moment.
Is this the so-called enemy of ten thousand people?
