One sixty two, arrogant
The two armies were confronting each other far outside Baishui City, with the mountain king Zhu Ba on one side and the bandit king on the left. The real masters of Baishui were standing by the city wall with a pale complexion, and with pitiful eyes, they shot two armies outside the city.
Cao Baoxiang, the county lord, looked full of tears. Is this the world of the Ming Dynasty? Is it the court that the final say? Is it the thief turn to discuss whose territory belongs to?
The gentry in the city also gathered behind Cao Baoxiang, looking at the two armies outside the city, constantly wiping sweat.
Cao Baoxiang couldn't help but ask, "You said... if this confrontation continues, is it Wang Zuo Buying or Zhu Baying?"
"This... I guess Zhu Ba can't win. No matter how many people say, there are too few, and there are countless bandits on the other side."
"I...I still hope that Zhu Ba can win. Although he also robs things, he doesn't rob much... he won't hurt his muscles." A squire said a little timidly.
"Yes! If Wang Zuoguai wins, we're afraid that all of us will die." A large group of gentry responded in unison. After the response, everyone looked at each other, and then they were surprised to find that Zhu Ba was really not like a robber. His style was a bit like the court. Every spring and autumn, he came to collect taxes once every year. If you don't pay it? Beat you! If you pay it, then you will be safe and safe.
"Should we cheer up Zhu Bada? Support me or something!" A gentry couldn't help but say.
Cao Baoxiang next to him looked dark: "Bastard, you are a good citizen of our Ming Dynasty. How can you cheer up the bandits? What kind of morality does this mean?"
The gentry was scolded by him and shrank back obediently. Cao Baoxiang himself hummed and laughed twice, then suddenly shouted at the outside of the city: "Zhu Ba, I beg you, you must drive Wang Zuogua away! My life depends entirely on you! If you want to drive Wang Zuogua away, I will agree to you whatever you want!"
Squire: "…"
"I'm not cheering up the bandits!" Cao Baoxiang said with a serious face: "I'm using benevolence and righteousness to move the bandits, and let him help the good people resist the bandits, and it is a beautiful talk..."
Squire: "…"
Cao Baoxiang's roar did not reach Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, it was far away! Moreover, there were drums rumbling in the army. In this case, it was useless to scream Cao Baoxiang's throat.
Xu Renjie saw that Zhu Ba's military formation was stable, and no one was trembling or wanted to escape. He knew that Zhu Ba did not lose this battle! His military formation could no longer be disintegrated like his own.
He said a little unwillingly: "If you don't lose the battle, it doesn't mean you can win if you fight! The next test is the real test. You deceived the soldiers and said that the enemy only has 5,000, but the enemy actually has 8,000. Even if you deduct the old, weak and wives, there are at least 3,000 young and strong. I don't believe you can defeat them with a thousand people."
"Is that?" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "In small matters, I will lie to my soldiers, but in big joints, I never lie to my own people. I said that if they can win, they can win. Do you want me to have a bet?"
"Go! Bet if you bet!" Xu Renjie stretched his neck: "You win, I will give you five thousand taels of silver. If you lose, I will not want to receive a copper coin from me this autumn."
"I am worthy of being a businessman, and I have a good plan." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "If I win, I will save Baishui and save your Xu family. It is natural for you to give me 5,000 taels of silver as Xie Yi? If I lose, Baishui will be over. Anyway, you will die in the hands of Wang Zuohang, so there is no tax problem. Whether I lose or I win, you will not be worse."
The shadow play was exposed by Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and Xu Renjie's face was a little red.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll defeat Wang Zuogu's army now for you to see!"
He reached out and brushed over Wang Zuohang's military formation, and asked with a smile: "Didn't you read a lot of military books? Come and see, where is the most vulnerable place in Wang Zuohang's army? "
When Xu Renjie heard this question, he suddenly felt excited. He puffed up his eyes and looked at it. He saw Wang Zuogao's army bustling with people. No matter where he looked, there were heads and heads, shoulders and heads. Except for Wang Zuogao and several of his subordinates standing on horseback, the positions of the standings on horseback looked a little different from the side, the whole place looked exactly the same. Where did there be any obvious weaknesses?
Anyway, I have never taught the Military Book, so what are the weaknesses of this enemy formation?
Xu Renjie rolled his eyes: "No weakness!"
"No!" Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and pointed at the position where Wang Zuogao was, and smiled and said, "When Wang Zuogao was standing, the biggest weakness of this bandit army."
"How can I see it?" Xu Renjie was dissatisfied: "The military book says that the place where the enemy general is the strongest defense of the army. Why is it the weakest in your eyes?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "Listen, the first time the two armies met, our army had 1,000 people and the enemy was 8,000 people. Wang Zuogao fought with me and did not scare me away. What should I do at this time?"
Xu Renjie immediately replied: "If you don't scare away, just fight hard. After all, it's an army of 8,000 people. How can you admit defeat if you don't fight? If I were Wang Zuoguai, I had ordered the entire army to attack at this time."
"That's right!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded seriously: "If I were Wang Zuogu, I had already ordered an attack at this time. But... Look at Wang Zuogu's army, still staying in place and hesitating, what does this mean?"
"What does it mean?" Xu Renjie was confused, Military Books, think about the military books he had read, what was going on here?
He was confused, but Wang Er next to him was not confused. Wang Er laughed and said, "What a simple thing... This shows that Wang Zuoguai is afraid. He dare not fight with us, for fear of losing."
Xu Renjie: "..."
Indeed, this is a very simple question. What kind of military books should I think of?
Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Wang Zuogao and said proudly: "A soldier is a soldier, and a nest of generals. Wang Zuogao's army has the biggest weakness of the leader. To deal with such an army, hum... If you attack the opponent's central army with an elite force, you will be scared to scare him to roll up the bedding for me and get out of here."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Wang Er!"
"exist!"
"I will give you a total of 600 people, including the first team, the second team, the fifth team, the sixth team, the seventh team, and the eighth team. You will be able to break through to the enemy's central army and kill Wang Zuoguai. Do you dare?"
"Hahaha, there is nothing that I, Wang Er, dare not do." Wang Er was overjoyed. He was a war criminal, and he was afraid that he would not be able to fight. There was no reason to be afraid. Taking an elite army that had broken through several times more than his own was exactly what Wang Er liked to do.
Seeing that Wang Er had no fear on his face, he was inexplicably excited. Zhu Yuanzhang was also very happy. He made a conclusion for him when he first met Wang Er. This person was a talented general. Before the battle formation of thousands of troops, he needed a brave general like him to open up the situation.
In his previous life, Zhu Yuanzhang had a powerful general who was specifically used to open up the situation, named Chang Yuchun.
In the Battle of Caishiji, Chang Yuchun faced the strict defense of the Yuan Dynasty's naval marshal Kang Maocai, and personally boarded a small boat. He rushed straight to the enemy's formation in the rapids with arrows and rain, flying to the shore, causing the spear to rush left and right, as if entering a no-man's land. Under his leadership, Zhu Yuanzhang's army easily crossed the river and swept the enemy into nothing.
The so-called rushing general means having such a spirit!
---------------
At this time, Wang Zuogao was still hesitating.
Miao Mei, the number one general under Wang Zuogao, was also anxious because of his timid personality: "Brother, let's rush over and beat them up. What's the point of being afraid of just a thousand officers and soldiers?"
"But... the officers and soldiers seem to be very powerful." Wang Zuogao looked away from a distance and said, "They are not afraid of us."
Miao Mei said angrily: "How can you scare the enemy away every time? Occasionally, you will encounter nails that are pricked, so let's just pull it out."
"But..." Wang Zuoguai hesitated: "What if we lose the fight and die many brothers? We finally reached the current scale. If a group of brothers die, we will be even more scared in the future."
Miao Mei was very anxious: "Brother, the army is used to hit people, not to scare people... What are you thinking? I'm so anxious."
As soon as the two of them reached this point, they heard a sudden loud drum sound among the "commissioned officers and soldiers" on the opposite side. Then the other party's military formation changed rapidly, and six small blocks of hundreds of people separated out and recombined into a military formation. Two teams were in the front, two teams were in the back, and the two teams were on both sides, looking very much like a cone-shaped...
"What are you going to do?" Wang Zuogao said in a slight shock.
Miao Mei glanced at it, and her face suddenly changed: "The other party should take the initiative to attack? What an arrogant guy, do you dare to underestimate our army of 8,000 people?"
At the front of the conical array opposite, a tower-like man walked out. The man held an iron rod in his hand, which looked quite heavy. He held the iron rod in his hand and easily pulled a stick flower. The stick made it really boring. Although it was a mile away, Wang Zuogao and Miao Mei seemed to feel a stick wind rushing towards him.
Then, the man shouted something, but unfortunately it was too far away and the battlefield was extremely noisy. Wang Zuogao and Miao Mei didn't hear any sounds. They were curious, what was the man opposite saying?
Then, a thousand soldiers on the opposite side shouted in unison: "The second time in Baishui King is here!"
"Dong!" The drum sounded again.
The White Water King Er took a step forward, and the six hundred soldiers following him also took a step forward together.
A general is the courage of a soldier, and a soldier is the power of a general!
As long as the general is powerful, the soldiers will have confidence and courage. Similarly, if the soldiers are strong and the army is neat, the general will have more power.
Wang Er's appearance was truly a brave soldier, and his power was shining with each other.
"go ahead!"
Wang Er walked forward with him. The six hundred people behind him took neat steps, cautious, bold, brave, and fearful, step by step, with all kinds of disorderly emotions, towards Wang Zuokao's army!
Wang Zuoguai finally understood: "They only have one thousand people in total, and they actually divided up 600 people to attack me? This... this is so arrogant!"
