The army quickly organized and set off. The Han army was so fast that even the prisoners it forced were ready to set off at a speed far exceeding the limit.
Therefore, men still need to be forced.
Only by pressing hard enough can you break through the limit.
When they came, this group of people walked for two days to get here. When they returned, they returned to Xiapi City in just one day.
There was nothing they could do in such a hurry. The Han soldiers had a peaceful and friendly communication with them with the bright ring-headed sword in their hands, making them understand that if they don't work hard now, they will be sad after death.
Of course, the main reason is that Wei Yan is anxious. He is afraid that Chen Deng and the walking group will lose their credit. Then... a clear Xia Pi will lose a lot of value.
After setting up camp, Xiapi City did not engage in any tricks of night attack. We were silent all night and arrived safely the next day.
"General, this city... tsk tsk, it's not easy to attack!" Lu Meng raised his head and looked at the city wall of Xiapi, which was more than five feet high, and smashed it.
Xuzhou was rich in money and food, and Xiapi City had been fortified twice, making it one of the few fortified cities in the entire Han Dynasty. Otherwise, it would not have been able to bear the heavy responsibility of defending against the Han army.
"Didn't I teach you in school that attacking the city is the most important thing and attacking the heart is the most important thing?" Wei Yan glanced at Lu Meng.
"I've been taught this before, but the mind attack thing sounds simple, but in fact it's too ethereal!" Lu Meng sighed helplessly.
"Today, I, the general, will teach you to be a good boy." Wei Yan patted Lu Meng on the shoulder and laughed.
When it comes to attacking the heart, who can compare to Wang Xuan? Wei Yan has seen too many tricks with Wang Xuan, so he naturally has no shortage of means.
The easiest and quickest way to attack the heart is to escape with your mouth. I think back then, in Xuzhou, Wang Xuan sent out a unique lineup of one person, one horse and one trumpet, which caused Cao Jun to suffer a lot. It is true that one person can be worth tens of millions of soldiers.
ah!
That style always makes Wei Yan fascinated.
Of course, now Wei Yan also knows from the newspaper that Cao Jun has a way to resist, which is to beat the drum to make noise. However, you have Zhang Liang's plan, and I have the wall ladder. Today, Wei Yan is going to carry forward this skill of evasion!
Twenty thousand troops were lined up, and more than 10,000 captured Cao soldiers were pulled out and more than 3,000 people were directly at the front line. They were still wearing Cao Jun's military uniforms, making them recognizable at a glance.
Chen Deng, Shi Huan and other high-level officials from Xiapi came to the city in person to boost morale. There were only 10,000 troops left in the city. The situation was critical and there was absolutely no room for failure. If the failure to rescue the two cities of Huaipu and the loss of troops were excusable,
If Xiapi was lost, they wouldn't have to go back alive, so everyone put aside their past grudges and did their best.
"What a despicable Han army, they claim to be benevolent and righteous in vain!" Chen Deng looked ugly. When everyone looked at him, he explained: "Then Wei Yan actually pushed our prisoners to the front line. This was clearly to use our prisoners to attack the city.
When the time comes, will our soldiers fire arrows or not?"
"If we don't release the arrows, who knows if there are people from the Han army who have mixed in with the Han army. If we release the arrows, the morale of the army will completely fall to the bottom!" Chen Deng said through gritted teeth.
Under the city, Lu Meng looked at Wei Yan and whispered solemnly: "General, if you use prisoners to attack the city... you might be punished by the king when you go back."
"What are you thinking?" Wei Yan slapped Lu Meng, "Am I that kind of person?"
Lu Meng: You are...
After giving Lu Meng a hard look, Wei Yan ordered the soldiers around him: "Let them start!"
┭┮﹏┭┮Ouch~~ After giving the order, the three thousand Cao Jun soldiers standing at the front began to cry. The three thousand men of the army cried and howled at the same time. For a while, I don’t know whether there were earth-shaking weeping, ghosts and gods. Anyway, except for
Except for Wei Yan and a few others, everyone else was dumbfounded.
At the top of the city, not only Chen Deng and other senior officials in Xiapi City, but also the ordinary soldiers were all shocked.
The Han army was also startled by the sudden cry.
This is a battlefield. Before the two armies fight, shouldn't they be beating drums to boost their morale? Why are they crying together?
Do you want to be so sad?
Gradually, the crying became louder and louder, and you could clearly hear the heart-wrenching sound of the crying. This was definitely not pretending.
If there were still people howling at the beginning, but with the crying, these prisoners couldn't help but think of the battle two days ago. They were unprepared and were rushed in by the Han army. So many robes were hacked and cut.
They were killed like vegetables, they were in chaos and had no power to resist.
After the defeat, they dug a big pit with their own hands and buried the bodies of those who died in the war.
Although they surrendered now and saved their lives, when they thought about the life and death line on the battlefield, they almost separated their bodies like those they buried, and they couldn't help but really cry, as if they were trying to kill this person.
All the stress of the past two days was released and I started crying.
With the cry, the atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became strange. From the initial enthusiasm, it turned into depression now. Gradually, even Chen Deng and others also felt that something was wrong.
These people who were crying were our own soldiers a few days ago. Now they were kneeling under the city and weeping bitterly. This also caused the soldiers on the top of the city to become despondent, and their morale dropped again and again.
Before the battle started, our own soldiers were kneeling down below and weeping in mourning. Who the hell could bear this? It was so frustrating, but there was nothing he could do.
This is not just a matter of two people beating drums and making some noise, but there are more than 3,000 people!
Ahhhhhh, Chen Deng was livid and shouted in his heart, damn Wei Yan, he is so despicable and shameless, how could he do such a thing!
If he had some sympathy for these captured soldiers before, now, Chen Deng really wished that Wei Yan would force them to attack the city and then shoot them all with a hail of arrows. This would at least strengthen his confidence in defending the city.
Now, if this continues, the city wall is going to collapse!
Wei Yan laughed loudly watching from behind. This effect was better than he expected. The most intuitive thing is that the cloud condensed by Cao Jun above the city is getting lighter. This is already visible to the naked eye, which shows that morale has dropped.
How many.
With a big wave of his hand, Wei Yan continued to order, "Let all those prisoners go up and cry as hard as you can. No matter how miserable you are, cry no matter how miserable you are. Cry well. After we capture Pi City, we will release them and return to their fields!"
"No!" The soldiers clasped their fists in salute, turned around and went down to make arrangements. Within a moment, more than ten thousand soldiers of Cao Cao's soldiers were driven into the city in rags and began to cry bitterly.
This time, no one was needed to guide him. He was led by the three thousand people before, and he cried loudly.
More than 10,000 people cried bitterly, which was unprecedented. Not to mention the defenders on top of the city, all the people in the city were alarmed.
This is great. You must know that among the 20,000 people who came out of the city, many of them were soldiers recruited from Xiapi City. They never came back after leaving the city. Now that the troops are approaching the city, anyone who is not stupid knows that the soldiers who went out before are in danger.
Okay, and with the spreading of the news by caring people...
At this time, more and more people knew that the crying outside was coming from the captured soldiers. Although they could not see what was going on outside, the crying alone was miserable enough, attracting the attention of the captured soldiers.
The family members also started crying.
From one pass to ten, and from ten to a hundred, no one jumped out of the cracks in the stone, and every parent, relative, and friend was returned. This was great. There were more than ten thousand people crying outside and tens of thousands inside the city... For a time, the whole world was filled with tears.
There was nothing left in Picheng except crying.
The morale was like a tremor at that time, and it was released to the point. Every soldier at the top of the city had only one thought at the moment - Mom, I want to go home!
