The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 174 Lost
But it was precisely because Wang Liang was not a local general that Changsun Ji refused to let him go.It is because his subordinates are all local children, if he knows that his family is occupied by the enemy and only thinks about taking Yangping back, then his losses will be even more serious.That's why he sent He Zheng to go.

If something is wrong with Yangping, you can quickly withdraw your troops to avoid being made dumplings by the grain soldiers after crossing the river.

Guo Dingxin led many death squads directly into the battlefield, and the entire riverside battlefield was the focus of everyone.He rushed in with such great fanfare, and on the other side of the river, Liang Jun naturally discovered the situation.

Seeing that the Yangping garrison came for reinforcements again, the leader of the grain army was not surprised but happy.Seeing Guo Dingxin struggling to fight there, Li Chuang said, "Sir, what do you think?"

Jia Yan on the side nodded and said: "General, the Yangping defenders have bitten the hook, and they can prepare to cross the river in an all-round way."

That's right, it was his strategy to trick Guo Dingxin into leaving Yangping.

Since yesterday when he saw Guo Dingxin, who killed the Quartet, he decided on this strategy.A person's personality and emotions can be seen through the person's actions and behaviors.

From some of Guo Dingxin's actions during the fight yesterday, he had a rough guess about some of Guo Dingxin's character.That's why he specifically suggested that Li Chuang send people to attack Guo Dingxin.

The purpose is to make Guo Dingxin injured, so that when the battle is fought again, Guo Dingxin, who has not recovered from his injuries, will stay in the city.And he will send someone to deceive the gate of the city.

As for some Yanjun costumes, it is a piece of cake for several cities that have already been captured.Even Wang Liangzhong's badge was specially cast according to the pattern of the guard of Cangting.

Anyway, Yan Jun's general system has become a system. Take the guard's waist badge as an example, except for the name on the waist badge, other fancy things are unified, which is easy.

As for what the soldier said, he also specially set it up for him, so that Guo Dingxin could lead his troops out of the city. As soon as he left the city, Yangping would become an empty city.

Although there are not many soldiers crossing from other places, it is easy to take down a city that is not guarded by soldiers and has internal support.

He had already thought about all this when he was fighting.However, after being reprimanded by Li Chuang, he was so angry that he was in no mood to say such a trick.

He originally thought about leaving, but he also thought of the kindness of the Meng family's master and servant and the Meng family's kindness to him, so he swallowed his anger and went to find Li Chuang in the dark.

Now it seems that the effect is still good. It can break through the river defense line and capture Yangping in one fell swoop, and may even kill these counter-rebels directly in one fell swoop.

Hearing Jia Yan's answer, Li Chuang nodded his head, and spent several days in this place, which not only caused the morale of his soldiers and generals to drop again and again, but he also felt extremely aggrieved.

As the leader of the peasant rebel army, most of his soldiers are peasants who can't afford to eat, victims of disasters... If you want them to work and play coolies, it's okay, but if you want them to fight, it depends on the situation.

You can fight victorious battles, but if you lose battles, especially such repeated and repeated defeats, the morale of the soldiers has already been wiped out.

As for why they didn't appear timid or fleeing?It was because of Li Chuang's practice of continuous sitting that these victims defected to him, most of whom were family members. If a soldier died in battle, the family members could receive food subsidies, but if they deserted, the family members would also be executed directly.

In addition to these, soldiers will also monitor each other.Not only that, he also set up a special supervisory team. The combination of these three aspects prevented the soldiers under him from fleeing on a large scale.

Although these soldiers appeared to be very desperate on the surface every time they fought, it was so under the deterrence of the supervising team killing hundreds of deserters' heads every time.

But this is not a long-term solution. If it continues like this, he feels that he may not be able to hold back, and there will be large-scale deserters.Fortunately, before that, he successfully won Yangping.

Thinking of this, Li Chuang smiled slightly, raised his hand and waved slightly.Behind him, many soldiers bowed slightly and retreated in salute. Afterwards, they all led their troops and started to cross the river.

Li Chuang closed his eyes, listening to the sound of soldiers mobilizing around him, and the breeze gently blowing his hair.Smelling the bloody air, he revealed an expression of enjoyment.

He enjoyed this feeling very much, the power of this kind of power made him feel slowly addicted.

Let's talk about Changsun Ji's side. Not long after he gave the order, he saw the Liang army on the opposite side start to cross the river in an all-round way, and the loopholes in the defense of his own defenders were getting bigger and bigger.

The defense line has begun to develop from a partial breakthrough at the beginning to a full breakthrough.

Seeing this, Changsun Ji decisively issued an order to retreat.

Because the plan to withdraw the army from Yangping, which could not stop the Liang army, had been made before, and the order had been issued with the generals in advance, so the withdrawal did not cause too much damage.

The archers are behind the formation, creating opportunities for the main force to retreat from the battlefield.The soldiers of the Liang army who crossed the river supported most of the Liang army and crossed the river, but they did not chase too much, but they gave up the pursuit after Changsun Ji led the army to withdraw from the battlefield.

Changsun Ji first set off to Yangping along the way, but before he arrived in Yangping, he saw He Zheng who came back from Yangping and led his troops.

"General He, what is the situation in Yangping now?"

After He Zheng greeted Changsun Ji, he reported, "General, now Yangping has fallen into the hands of the grain army, and there are about [-] soldiers defending the city. If you want to take Yangping back, it will take at least an afternoon. so……"

He Zheng didn't continue, but Changsun Ji already understood what he meant.When He Zheng left, the river bank was already on the verge of being breached. If Yangping attacked the city, it is estimated that the city would have been completely dumped by the grain army crossing the river before it was breached.

"Well, He Zheng, you've done a good job. Depending on the situation, even where I am, I will make such an order." Changsun Ji said.

Changsun Ji first praised He Zheng, then looked at Guo Dingxin and Wang Liangbin beside him, and swept them one by one. Changsun Ji then looked at the soldiers behind him.

He could feel the bewilderment of the soldiers in the army. Compared with the soldiers he brought from the capital, Yangping's defenders were not only bewildered, but also anxious, worried, and even mixed with a trace of resentment.

He naturally knew the reason for this.
