Jing Yan never thought about fighting Qin Jiyan to the death right now. His original purpose of sending troops was to find out the strength of the Feng family army and understand the gap between himself and the imperial court. But now it is to let his soldiers gain
exercise.
He fought with the Feng Family Army dozens of times. Although he was defeated repeatedly, Jing Yan could clearly see that the Jiangnan garrison, which was originally ignorant and weak, gradually became strong and hardened. Whether it was overall strength or individual strength,
Growth as seen by the naked eye.
On the first day, the two armies clashed for the first time. The Jiangnan garrison was beaten to a pulp, with nearly 10,000 casualties.
At that moment, he clearly saw the gap between the two sides, and he even had the idea that he would never be able to successfully overthrow the rule of the Qin family in his life, but he did not give up!
He motivated his soldiers, repeatedly replayed the scene of the battle between the two armies in his mind, and constantly calculated the best defensive formation... He did everything to minimize the damage.
The second day, the third day...the fifth day, the battlefield was still fierce, and the Jiangnan garrison continued to suffer heavy defeats. The soldiers in the army, from captains to small soldiers, all became war-weary. Even several lieutenants were shaken, but Jing Yan remained
Didn't give up.
He was thinking about how to lay out the strategy so as to maximize its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, so as to catch the Feng Family Army off guard in time. He also did not forget to instill in his subordinates that their defeat was not due to their own incompetence, but to lack of experience. As long as they fought a few more battles, they would be able to turn defeat into victory.
Of course, the Jiangnan garrison would not easily believe Jing Yan's one-sided words, but when they saw the casualties decreasing day by day, they couldn't help but believe it.
"What the young master said is that we are no worse than the Feng Family Army, we just lack experience. The Feng Family Army has fought with Northern Qi every three or five years, but we have not been on the battlefield for more than ten years. Doesn't this mean we are weak?
"
"As long as we fight a few games, we can get back the feeling we had back then. Look at yesterday's battle, we only lost a thousand people. Isn't this the best evidence?"
If you tell a fallacy a hundred times, it will become the truth. With Jing Yan and the support of the lieutenants, the more the Jiangnan garrison thought about it, the more they thought it was the same thing. Some veterans thought it was very reasonable and looked for examples from themselves.
to prove this.
"After two hours of fighting on the first day, I couldn't lift my arms, and I didn't even have the strength to carry my rice bowl. The second time I woke up, it felt like my whole body had been run over by a carriage, and I didn't want to move at all. But recently, I have been constantly on the battlefield.
Even if you run around all day, you won’t be unable to pick up the bowl, and even after you sleep, you will be full of energy the next day.”
"When you put it like that, I found that I am like this too. I have been much better recently, and my swordsmanship is also accurate. I used to always miss the target, but not recently. Yesterday, I killed two Feng family soldiers.
.”
"The Feng family's army is not that powerful. I also killed one yesterday."
…
A group of new recruits and veterans gathered together and chatted enthusiastically, exchanging experiences from time to time, completely forgetting themselves...
Thinking they had found the reason for the defeat, the Jiangnan garrison swept away the decadence of the previous days and became full of energy.
They can't beat the Feng Family Army, but that's not because they are weak, but because they have too little training and lack of experience. As long as they fight a few more games, they will definitely be able to defeat the Feng Family Army!
With this "strange" knowledge, the troops stationed in the south of the Yangtze River became more and more courageous as they fought, and became more and more difficult to mess with. The Feng family army responded to the challenge easily at the beginning, but now they have to treat it with caution.
There are many smart people in the Feng Army. After finding out about the movements of the Jiangnan garrison, they all got angry and cursed: "These people in Jiangnan are not kind. They actually use me as a whetstone to train their troops."
"A group of insidious guys actually imitated us, how shameless." The Feng Family Army was on the border and used Northern Qi soldiers and horses to train new recruits all year round, and the results were very good.
"We have always trained with others, but this time we have become the target of others' training. It's really frustrating to think about it."
Uh... Only the Zhou officials were allowed to set fires, but the people were not allowed to light lamps. This is the Feng family army.
In their opinion, it was normal for them to train new recruits with the Northern Qi soldiers and generals, but when it was their turn to train others, they were not happy.
But what if you don't like it?
Jing Yan and the Jiangnan garrison were very insidious. They stored a lot of kerosene around the camp and buried a row of explosives around the camp in front of them. Once they rushed over, Jiangnan's gang would fight to the death.
The fish died, the net was broken, the explosives were ignited, and they perished together.
You said water?
Haha...didn't you see the barrels of kerosene?
Oil floats on the water, and even the water in the river cannot extinguish the fire. What's the point of carrying a few buckets of water?
Water is good at controlling fire, but once the fire becomes fierce, water will not only fail to extinguish the fire, but will actually help the fire spread.
Every time the Jiangnan garrison came out to fight, they almost ran away while the Feng family army could only stand outside and stare...
They fought for dozens of days in a row, but they were not happy every time. Coupled with the fact that Feng Yuqian handed over his military power, everyone in the Feng family army felt suffocated. During this period, the atmosphere in the army was very depressed.
Few people get into fights over trivial matters.
Tang Yong wanted to ease the atmosphere in the army, but there were some things that he couldn't do just by thinking about it. Faced with those straight-tempered and hot-tempered soldiers, Tang Yong encountered difficulties several times, and when he saw those fighting, he silently
He turned his head and pretended not to see it.
As Feng Yuqian said, fight, fight...if you beat someone to a bloody head, you will naturally stop. If you beat someone to death, you can just deal with it according to military regulations.
Fortunately, this atmosphere did not last long. His Highness Qin did not appear for a long time after being busy with government affairs, and finally appeared in the army again, and as soon as he appeared, he dropped a bombshell.
"Stick up your spirits and fight tomorrow! I will host a banquet tomorrow night, waiting for your triumphant return."
There were not many words, but the content was very powerful. Feng Jiajun was stunned for a moment before reacting. "Your Highness, your Highness means there will be a big battle tomorrow? Will those turtle bastards in Jiangnan run away again?"
It's a pity that Qin Jiyan left after saying this, leaving the scene to Tang Yong. Facing a group of over-excited soldiers, Tang Yong was under great pressure.
Tang Yong did not dare to play tricks with Qin Jiyan. He told everyone with certainty that tomorrow's battle with the Jiangnan garrison would determine life or death. There would be no chance for the Jiangnan garrison to retreat tomorrow!
Tang Yong was sure. Although Feng Jiajun didn't understand why, no one doubted it. They all geared up and said excitedly: "I can finally let go and fight. This period of time has destroyed me."
"Hahaha, those little brats from Jiangnan, my grandpa will teach you tomorrow what fighting is. You have to learn it hard."
…
The two armies were not far apart. Jing Yan knew the movements of the Feng family army within an hour. When he learned that Qin Jiyan was preparing to fight tomorrow, Jing Yan frowned: "Why does Qin Jiyan think that I will not let the army withdraw tomorrow?"
?”
"If I can't defeat him, I will definitely retreat. There is no doubt about this. So where does Qin Jiyan get the confidence?"
"There must be a reason why Qin Jiyan dares to say this. But... if you want me not to withdraw our troops, unless something irresistible happens."
"Manpower is irresistible? I understand!" Jing Yan stood up suddenly and strode out...
