Chapter 789: Tiance beats the drum and moves forward vigorously
Under Quan Cong's gaze, he found that the formation of more than ten thousand Vietnamese soldiers became scattered.
This scene was expected by Quan Cong.
Even because of this scene, Quan Cong made a bold inference in his mind - as long as he continued to kill the Shanyue soldiers with arrows, the Shanyue soldiers would probably collapse without a fight.
After realizing this, Quan Cong issued several general orders one after another.
When Quan Cong's general order spread throughout the city wall, before the Shanyue soldiers could gather their formation again, thousands of Wu army arrows followed.
Before Peng Qi led his army to set off, Mi Yang specially gave Peng Qi many shields.
Mi Yang knew that Shanyue soldiers always lacked standard equipment.
In order to reduce the casualties of Shanyue soldiers as much as possible, Mi Yang gave almost all the shields equipped by Tiance's army to Peng Qi.
To be used as equipment by the elite Tiance Army, those thousands of shields must be of high quality.
However, no matter how good the quality of the shield is, if the Shanyue soldiers are not skilled in using it, the shield will not be of much use.
Facing the rain of arrows from the Wu army, Peng Qi promptly ordered Erlang behind her to raise the shield in his hand.
It's just that the Sangoe soldiers, who have never received formal training, cannot achieve uniform movements all at once.
Shields were raised one after another, but due to the incoherence in the movements of each Shanyue soldier, the dense shield wall that Peng Qi imagined did not appear.
Through many loopholes, the Wu army's arrows fell into the Shanyue soldiers' formation and killed many Shanyue soldiers.
Although the number of casualties this time was reduced due to the shield's cover, the two killings by the Wu army caused considerable psychological pressure on the Shanyue soldiers.
The formation of the Shanyue soldiers became more and more scattered.
Quan Cong was overjoyed when he saw this.
And just as Peng Qi expected, Mi Yang was on a high platform in the rear, observing every move of Wan Yushan's Vietnamese soldiers.
Behind Mi Yang, stood several of his confidants.
Several close friends were fine, but Dong Yun couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade Mi Yang when he saw what was ahead:
"Da Sima, although there are many Shanyue soldiers, they have not been drilled for a long time. If they are allowed to continue to advance, they will only cause greater casualties.
At that time, the morale of our army will be hit.
Why don't we withdraw our troops temporarily and find another way?"
After hearing Dong Yun's advice, Mi Yang remained expressionless.
What Dong Yun could see, how could Mi Yang not see it.
But Mi Yang was different from Dong Yun. Mi Yang had been in charge of soldiers for many years and knew very well that kindness should not lead soldiers.
"Since ancient times, siege warfare has been like this.
There is no difference between more than a thousand and more than ten thousand soldiers under the high wall, they are all ants that can be killed at any time.
Often after a siege, the city would be covered with corpses and crows would cover the sky.
One general's success will destroy ten thousand bones!
I don’t care about the casualties today, I only care about whether today’s battle can break Quan Cong’s military morale!”
After teaching Dong Yun, Mi Yang continued:
"In addition, does Xiu Zhao think that if Gu sends out Tiance's army today, he can easily reach Chaisang City?
When attacking a city rather than fighting in the open, whether the sergeants are elite or not is not the main factor.
The most important thing when attacking a city is that the soldiers must have a heart that is ready to die.
Only if you are not afraid of death can you move forward all the way to the city!
And the road leading to the city is often filled with blood and screams."
The more Mi Yang spoke, the more sinister his tone became.
What he said is true.
Normal siege warfare is always brutal.
Siege warfare is also fair.
Regardless of whether the attackers are the Shanyue Army or the Tiance Army, when the enemy has the advantage of defending the city, any tactics, formations, or command will become dispensable.
Only a firm military spirit is the foundation for victory!
Mi Yang believed that the rewards he had given to the Shanyue soldiers in the past would initially give the Shanyue soldiers a firm military spirit.
Because Mi Yang always regarded the Shanyue soldiers, who were regarded as pigs and dogs by the Dongwu generals, as upright people.
Since you are a human being, how can you not have the courage to change the world under the heavy reward?
In order to encourage the Shanyue soldiers in front, Mi Yang turned around and faced a big drum that had been prepared behind him.
After taking the drumstick from Ding Feng, Mi Yang ordered Ding Feng behind him:
"Go and tell the men in front that in today's battle, I will beat the drums to cheer them on!"
As long as they don’t retreat for a moment, the drums will keep beating!”
After hearing Mi Yang's instructions, Ding Feng quickly ran down from the high platform.
After quickly selecting hundreds of sergeants from the army, Ding Feng led these hundreds of sergeants and galloped forward on horseback.
When Ding Feng led hundreds of sergeants to the rear of more than ten thousand mountain Vietnamese soldiers, Ding Feng heard a loud and high-pitched drum sound coming from behind.
When the drums sounded, the drums in the Han army camp behind them became more and more dense and loud.
The sounds of many drums mingled together, like thunder in the sky, shaking people's hearts.
Ding Feng knew that this was when Mi Yang started playing the drum.
One drum leads to thousands of drums, and together they cheer for more than ten thousand tigers!
Ding Feng knew even more that he had to convey Mi Yang's thoughts accurately to the ears of every Shanyue soldier.
Thinking of this, Ding Feng suddenly lashed out with his whip.
As the horse under his crotch screamed in pain, Ding Feng's body was carried by the horse like lightning as he shuttled outside the formation of Wanyu Mountain's Vietnamese soldiers.
"Tiancai personally beats the drum to support you all!"
As Ding Feng shuttled outside the formation, he kept shouting these words at the top of his lungs.
Following Ding Feng's actions, the hundreds of warriors who followed him also imitated Ding Feng's actions.
One person's hoarse voice was not enough to attract the attention of more than ten thousand mountain soldiers.
But the unanimous shouts of more than a hundred warriors were enough to attract the attention of many Shanyue soldiers.
Elevated emotions will grow quickly like vines after rain.
When some Shanyue soldiers heard this sentence, they passed it down by word of mouth, and soon more than ten thousand Shanyue soldiers heard this sentence.
Listening to the rolling drums coming from behind, and then thinking that this exciting drumming was actually played for them by Mi Yang himself, many Shanyue soldiers felt excited and moved in their hearts.
"A scholar will die for a confidant, a scholar will die for a confidant!"
What many people don’t know is that before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, a scholar didn’t just refer to a scholar, but a scholar referred to any heroic man in the world!
The Shanyue soldiers may not have heard this sentence, but the emotions in their hearts at this moment best explained this sentence.
Thinking of Mi Yang's behavior towards them during this period, isn't it true that he is sincere and sincere to others?
Having been bullied by the Soochow generals for so long, many Shanyue soldiers had forgotten the fact that they were born as human beings.
More than one famous Soochow general pointed their noses in the past and insulted them as pigs and dogs.
But Mi Yang used his actions to make the Shanyue soldiers realize that they were just people and soldiers!
If they were afraid of death, they would not join the army.
And if they all have to die, then why not die as a "scholar"?
Although the sound of drums can inspire people's hearts, determination to die can only be obtained with sincerity.
Once you think about it, why should you be afraid?
“Fuck grandma!
I’m so afraid of Wu Gou!”
A rude curse came from Peng Qi's mouth.
After uttering this curse, Peng Qi directly threw away the shield in his hand. He rushed behind a chrysanthemum and pushed the chrysanthemum straight towards Chaisang City.
Peng Qi scolded the innermost thoughts of many Shanyue soldiers, and Peng Qi's behavior allowed many Shanyue soldiers to find an outlet to vent their emotions.
Today we are going to die, let’s see who will be the dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy!
After a while, all the tens of thousands of soldiers on the mountain dropped their shields.
The next moment, hundreds of anemone vehicles moved forward vigorously!
When the hundreds of anemone vehicles started moving without hesitation, Quan Cong's expression on the city suddenly changed, as if he was facing a formidable enemy!
