Liu Taizhizhu was in control, because he had been hoarding it for a year and had sufficient preparations and food. The Huns and Han Dynasty behind him had eliminated the main armed forces of the Jin court, and could support them at any time after the fall of Luoyang.
Of course, this is the psychology, so Liu Tai doesn’t need them to come over.
But what about Gou Xi? How much food do you have to support an army of 50,000 to confront you here?
After all, as the Jin court suffered heavy losses, the situation would only turn more and more to his side, and Liu Taike was not worried at all.
In contrast, although Gou Xi is heading here with his army and his morale is high, he still has a no-war card.
If he wants to come and attack his camp, he will arrange bows and arrows to serve him. Anyway, he has many arrows and is not afraid of using them up.
But as long as Gou Xi is unable to defeat him, the morale of Gou Xi's army will inevitably decline.
As for retreat... retreat is not so easy.
The reason why I was able to retreat was because I had implemented my thoughts on the soldiers under my command, allowing them to remain calm and orderly even during the retreat.
But the soldiers under Gou Xi's command are just for food. Gou Xi can rely on military discipline to lead them, but when military discipline cannot maintain the authority of the entire army, it will be the time for Gou Xi to completely collapse.
At this moment, Gou Xi also looked at Liu Tai's camp angrily. As the strongest commander of the Jin court in this era, he naturally knew his own weaknesses.
During this period of time, I first repelled Sima Yue's conquest, and then sent troops to support Luoyang. The soldiers were very tired from the coming and going, and the food and grass were being consumed.
The only good news is that the recruits I recruited have gradually transformed from recruits into veterans through the training they have received during this period.
But this definitely does not mean that with this army, he can capture the military camp that Liu Tai defended with all his heart.
In Gou Xi's opinion, Liu Tai's commanding ability is at a normal level. It has been improving, but it has not reached his own level.
However, Liu Tai's ability to manage the army allowed his soldiers to unleash incredible combat effectiveness.
I originally thought that relying on military discipline to run the army was enough to be invincible, but I didn't expect that I would encounter a stronger opponent in running the army.
It’s as if all the soldiers under Liu Tai’s command are suffering from amnesia, and they fight with no regard for their lives. What kind of ecstasy soup did Liu Tai pour into these soldiers!
Precisely because of facing such an opponent, Gou Xi couldn't let his soldiers retreat.
Because retreating was really a technical task for ancient armies, even Cao Cao, whose true military level reached the level of seventy-two generals, had suffered more or less from retreating.
Especially when the opponent is a very disciplined force, but your own discipline and organization are not as good as the opponent's, a retreat may directly cause a major rout.
Because of this, Gou Xi knows the weaknesses of his army.
The soldiers in his army include veterans he has accumulated over time, as well as recruits he has recruited for half a year. Although it seems that there are more than 50,000 people, the real core is not many.
If they were all veterans, then Gou Xi would dare to be as calm as Liu Tai, who retreated from Linzi to Changguo after he knew he was coming.
But the problem is not that if more than 50,000 people retreat without any reason, it will have a huge impact on morale.
As long as Liu Tai pursues and the rear troops he left behind do not resist, the situation will collapse.
As for designing with the whole army retreating as the core, it is equivalent to putting one's own life and death directly on the gambling table. For Gou Xi, it is really not to this extent.
Gou Xi listened to the news constantly coming from Luoyang and knew clearly that she had to get rid of Liu Tai quickly.
If you don't get rid of Liu Tai and wait until other Xiongnu and Han people are free to deal with you, then you will be in real danger.
However, Gou Xi saw Liu Tai blocking Changguo like an iron bastard, blocking his way to attack Taishan County.
At the same time, he is like a dead pig who is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. He is just consuming it here with himself, and Gou Xi has no way to eat it!
And the arrows in Liu Tai's army seemed to be inexhaustible. Every time he attacked the camp, he shot them out for free.
As long as you can't attack them, these arrows will be picked up by them and used again, but even so, the arrows are not shot indiscriminately by you, which causes considerable trouble for Gou Xi's soldiers to attack.
Because even though veteran Gou Xi was released by Liu Tai, the armor was not returned, so the rate of wearing armor was not high.
As for newly recruited soldiers, it would be great if they can choose weapons. If you want to wear armor, just dream!
As for bows and arrows, they give full play to the spring characteristics of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. When facing an armored person, if a hundred arrows can kill one person, thank God. But when facing an enemy without armor, the bow and arrow can be used to cut grass.
.
This is also an important reason why Gou Xi clearly has a strength advantage, but still can't take down Liu Tai's barracks. That is because he is reluctant to use his elite soldiers and uses new soldiers, but they are shot back by bows and arrows.
Gou Xi felt a headache as she pressed her temples. She couldn't take Liu Tai's barracks. She really couldn't take this barracks!
What all famous generals hate the most is this kind of turtle-shell enemy who only focuses on defense and competes with you for food consumption.
Bai Qi scratched his head when encountering such an opponent, and Zhuge Liang vomited blood when encountering him. He is not afraid that you will be greedy, but afraid that you will not be greedy!
"However...since you did not choose to stop fighting, but chose to confront me, it means that you still want to have a showdown with me...but how should I lure you out!" Gou Xi pondered.
.
Compared with Gou Xi's contemplation, Gou Chun, who was sitting in Linzi, didn't look good.
Because of the locust plague and Gou Xi's frequent use of troops during this period, even though Gou Chun had taken a knife to borrow food from the wealthy families, these wealthy families could not come up with food. At this moment, in order to raise food, Gou Chun
I don’t even know how much hair I have lost.
On this day, Gou Chun was also working hard as usual to find a way to raise food for his brother.
But soon a guard came over to report, "General, there are bandits coming from the north!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"North? Is Wang Jun sending his army south?" Gou Chun looked confused and said, "He is ready to surrender to the Huns and Han!"
When Gou Chun thought of this thought, his hands and feet became cold for a moment. If this happened, there would probably be no room for recovery for the entire north.
"No, no, it's the begging army. The begging army is attacking Linzi!" the guard said.
"The beggar army? It's the beggar army that made a lot of noise on the other side of the Yellow River last year?!" Gou Chun didn't understand how the beggar army could cross the Yellow River and come to Qingzhou.
Gou Chun breathed a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of anything like the begging army.
So Gou Chun reorganized his armaments, and it seemed that the beggar army was only coming with more than ten thousand refugees in tattered clothes. He couldn't help but snorted, and personally ordered the guards of Linzi City to go out and fight.
Facing the charge of Gou Chun's army, these more than 10,000 people were overwhelmed and completely defeated in a short time.
But what Gou Chun saw next was a large, dark, endless sea of people. These people were in ragged clothes and looked like zombies. At this moment, their eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and they rushed towards Gou Chun crazily.<
/p>
"Retreat! Go back to the city!" At this time, Gou Chun couldn't see that he had accidentally fallen into the opponent's bait.
But it is no longer easy to retreat at this time. These people do not regard their lives as fate at all.
The weapons in their hands are even more dazzling, such as manure forks, planes, wooden guns, and even bricks.
What they want is for the army under Gou Chun, the cultivator, to fight tooth and nail. Even if the army under Gou Xi is really elite, they will inevitably lose troops and generals under the attack of these people who are not afraid of death.
Even if Gou Chun retreats to Linzi City and wants to reorganize his resistance, Linzi itself is not a strong city.
Not to mention that under Gou Xiwei's name, almost no one took action against Linzi City. In addition, Gou Xi focused his main resources on the army, so Linzi City's defense was really not very strong.
At this time, Gouchun went out to fight in the city and was defeated, which greatly shook the morale of Linzi City.
Therefore, the war lasted from day to night. Linzi City was directly attacked by the begging army, and the begging army poured into Linzi City.
Immediately, they began to destroy and plunder, especially food, which almost all the begging soldiers immediately scooped into their mouths.
For every beggar, this feeling of being able to have a full meal is really great!
Tian Tian couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw that the city of Linzi had been captured by him.
Looking back on his experiences in the past six months, Tian Tian feels a bit sad when he thinks about it.
Looking at these beggars just for a bite of food, I couldn't help but recall the scene after I arrived in Jizhou.
It can only be said that the land ravaged by locusts is really miserable. Corpses are everywhere, and it has become a common thing to exchange children for food. When I came out of Taishan County, I once again saw such a hellish scene that I didn't want to remember.<
/p>
This made Tian Tian suddenly realize that he was not living in a stable world again, but it was precisely under the leadership of Liu Tai that he could truly bring land and stability to the people.
Tian Tian discovered for the first time the importance of Liu Tai, and the glory and sense of mission Liu Tai said about reversing the Jin Dynasty and restoring the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, it was not the first time that Tian Tian revolted, and he took 300 soldiers and began to organize a begging army with ease.
Taught them formation tactics, led them to capture villages and capitals, helped them survive the cold winter, and now.
For the beggar army, I don't even have to work as hard as Liu Tai to raise soldiers, because Liu Tai at least needs food to maintain order.
But he doesn't need it. As long as he gives these struggling people a little mist of hope, they will follow him to death.
But now Tian Zhen led them to capture Linzi. Seeing them venting their anger in Linzi City like wild beasts without reason, Tian Zhen fell silent.
Some of them beheaded the people of Qingzhou in order to grab a bowl of wheat rice. Some of them broke into the homes of wealthy families to vent their desires. Some of them even crawled on the body of a naked woman who had fainted and ate her flesh and blood directly.
At this moment, Linzi was completely transformed into a hell on earth. Tian Tian thought that he could be like Liu Tai when he entered Taishan County, doing no harm to the local people, but accurately attacking the local powerful, so that more people could survive.
But in fact, I simply cannot control this group of beggars who have almost lost their minds.
At this moment, they have completely become beasts controlled by hunger and desire. After they conquered Linzi City, they just wanted to vent!
Not only them, but also the three hundred personal guards who came with him, some of them also joined the carnival.
They have lost the military discipline they observed day and night when they were with Liu Tai, and the civilized sense of honor that comes from strong men who often read Chinese books. At this moment, they just want to indulge.
Because these people didn't know the specific mission, they just knew that Gou Xi took them away from Taishan County, thinking that they had left Li Tai.
But they are indeed Tian Zhen's confidants, otherwise Tian Zhen would not have chosen them from so many soldiers.
And they may not hate the environment of Liu Tai's army, but they do hate that in Liu Tai's army, they can't do this or do that, and they can't do military discipline. Compared with it, being an official army can't be as wanton and free as being a beggar army commander. Most of the three hundred of them became camp commanders and even battalion commanders with more soldiers.
This is a much more enjoyable life for them than before. Faced with this sudden power to control others, many people are quite addicted.
At this moment, they have successfully captured Linzi. They want to continue living such a happy life, rather than returning to Liu Tai's army and continuing to fight against the Jin and restore the Han Dynasty.
After all, whether the Han Dynasty is revived or not, what does it have to do with me? For me, only the fine wine and food in my mouth and the graceful beauty under me are worthy of my attention. How comfortable this life is!
They used to hate bullying by power, but now they enjoy using their power to bully others.
They want to maintain such a life, but they also know very well that the number of rogues seems to be staggering, but whether they face Gou Xi or Li Tai, they are probably no match for the other party.
Not to mention that Linzi originally supplied Gou Xi with food for the war. After they came here to plunder, didn’t they know that they could sustain themselves for several days?
Therefore, they need Tian Jin, and they need Tian Jin to continue to lead them to defeat Gou Xi and Liu Tai.
Even when Tian Zhen captured Linzi, he was still in a daze. When he was holding a celebration banquet, he was already pinned down to the main seat with various hands and feet.
There were even more people below shouting: "The governor of Qingzhou, the governor of Qingzhou, the general should be the governor of Qingzhou!"
"Qingzhou Governor!" Tian Tian felt excited when he heard this title, but when he saw the subordinates below him toasting continuously, his eyes became a little confused.
Tian Tian finally understood why Liu Tai would talk to him when he was asked to implement this plan, because Liu Tai's eyes had already seen the scene where he couldn't help himself.
And two paths have appeared in front of him, whether to cooperate with Liu Tai's tricks, or to dominate by himself...
The only thing Tian Tian felt relieved was that he didn't need to make such a choice now.
Because the decisive battle between Liu Tai and Gou Xi will inevitably determine the winner first as they capture Linzi!
