Chapter 311 Mentality
When the Shizhu chieftains began to gather, the cavalry under Zhang Shun began to suffer losses.
Although for the cavalry, the small-scale stone pillar chieftain soldiers can still be easily killed, but if one is not careful, it is easy for the chieftain soldier to hook the iron hook on the spear, hook him off his horse, and stab him to death with his spear.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers began to organize, Zhang Shun immediately ordered the troops to retreat in view of the fact that they had completed the purpose of harassing the officers and soldiers and damaging the morale of the officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers have not yet recovered from the chaos, how can they stop them? As a result, they could only watch Zhang Shun and his cavalrymen Liu Cheng, "King Zuo Jin" and "Ge Liyan" walk away without any choice.
Zhang Shun was far away from the officers and soldiers' camp. Looking back, he could still see the fire caused by the officers and soldiers' camp being burned by them, as well as the officers and soldiers' shouts of fear and the sounds of commotion.
At this time, Zhang Shun still ordered Liu Cheng to stay and monitor the movements of the officers and soldiers, while the others returned to the Huixian camp with him.
By the time Zhang Shun and others returned to the camp, it was already dawn, and the sun rose from the plain to the east, giving the camp a layer of glow.
The people in the camp had just gotten up and were busy washing, cooking, and clearing out the overnight supplies. At this time, Zhang Shun was followed by "King Zuo Jin" on the left, "Ge Liyan" on the right, Wukong on his side, and more than a thousand cavalry following behind, using long spears to carry the helmets, clothes and other items of the captured officers and soldiers, as well as some The man was carrying the flag captured from the officers and soldiers, looking proud of himself.
The "Eight Great Kings", "The King of Troubled Times" and "Living Cao Cao" couldn't help but look at each other in surprise, and quickly stepped forward to greet him: "King Shun, who are you?"
"I didn't sleep very well last night. I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep." Zhang Shun said with a smile, "I simply turned over and called 'King Zuo Jin' and 'Grey Eyes' and went to the officers and soldiers camp together. I didn't sleep well. If you wake up, Deng Qi and Zuo Liangyu’s disciples can’t sleep peacefully!”
The "Eight Kings" are murderous and courageous, and they like brave and fearless people the most. Hearing this, he couldn't help but admire him and said: "King Shun is so capable. The officers and soldiers have not had time to come over, so give them a warning first!"
"Living Cao Cao" found that his ability to flatter was actually slower than that of the "Eight Kings", and he was quite dissatisfied. He also quickly praised: "He who has courage but no plan is called a reckless man. Deng Qi and Zuo Liangyu are also veteran generals. I The rebel army suffered a lot in his hands. Now that King Shun has robbed the camp and succeeded in a battle, it shows that he has unparalleled intelligence and predicts events like a god."
"The King of Chaos" saw these two people flattering him so much that he couldn't help curling his lips and stood a little further away to show his disdain for being in the company of these two people.
Zhang Shun didn't care. He just waved them to go down and straighten out the affairs of the camp. He took "King Zuo Jin" and "Geri Eye" and others around the camp and walked around the camp three times in a showy manner to boost the morale of the rebels.
Sure enough, when everyone saw that the rebels had won the first battle, they couldn't help but gear up and prepare for a big fight to eliminate the incoming officers and soldiers.
There is a saying in later generations that "difficulties are like springs. If you are weak, others will be strong." In fact, the same is true for the morale of military operations. Zhang Shun's side won the first battle. Although he did not kill too many officers and soldiers, before he could reach the battlefield, the camp was robbed and the tents and some supplies were burned, which immediately cast a shadow over the officers and soldiers in front of him.
In particular, some superstitious officers and soldiers felt that this expedition was unfavorable, indicating that the outcome of the war would not be good.
Although this view has no scientific basis, some superstitious people still believe it. For a time, the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly reduced.
Deng Qi, Zuo Liangyu, Tang Jiuzhou and Ma Fengyi sat in the Chinese army tent with gloomy faces, sulking to themselves.
Fortunately, Zuo Liangyu was the first to recover from his depression and persuaded him: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. Why do you need to be like this? Laughing for a moment is not a smile. Laughing at the end is called laughter!"
Deng Qi glanced at Zuo Liangyu and said with a smile: "General Zuo has a good attitude, but what he said is right: victory or defeat is a common thing for military officers! We were careless for a moment, and the bandits took advantage of us. Let's reorganize our troops and horses, and then It’s not too late to decide the outcome with the thief.”
Although Deng Qi is also a veteran and has experienced many victories and defeats, he always gets sulky every time he loses a battle. But Zuo Liangyu was different from him. If not, how could this guy have suffered so many defeats in later generations and not be so angry that he wanted to hang himself in the river? It shows that he has a good mentality, and those who are often defeated are often happy!
Not to mention the mentality of the officers and soldiers, the matter has reached this point, the battle still needs to be fought, and things still need to be done. They have no choice but to comfort themselves and relieve themselves. Adjust your mentality, travel lightly, and continue to rush to Wei Hui Mansion.
On the way, he was worried that the rebels would harass and raid again, so Deng Qi ordered all his cavalry to be dispatched to guard against possible raids.
Nothing happened along the way, and the officers and soldiers arrived at Weihui Fucheng safely. Deng Qi deliberately led his soldiers into the city to repair for a night, and by the way, he reassured the king of Lu, Zhu Changzi. As a result, the prefect of Wei Hui Prefecture did not appreciate it and refused on the grounds that "the soldiers are rude. In order to avoid disturbing King Lu, please wipe out the bandits as soon as possible and pay another visit soon."
No wonder the prefect of Wei Hui Mansion refused. The officers and soldiers had been fighting with the rebels nearby for a long time, and the reputation of the officers and soldiers had long been unknown to everyone. What's more, the people currently leading the army are the famous generals Deng Qi and Zuo Liangyu, so it is absolutely impossible to open the city gate again.
If you fall into the hands of thieves, you can still gain the reputation of "die without surrender". If you fall into the hands of rebels, your death will be in vain.
Deng Qi and Zuo Liangyu cursed loudly. After all, their families knew what was going on, so they had no choice but to lead their troops westward to Huixian County.
The county seat of Huixian County is about 20 miles east of Zhang Shun Camp, sandwiched between Zhang Shun Camp and Weihui Mansion City.
When Deng Qi and others saw that they could not enter the city of Wei Hui Mansion, they took a fancy to this place as a place to garrison. The rebels arrived first and had already set up camp barriers. The officers and soldiers arrived later and their foothold was not yet stable. If they could defend the city, they would be more certain of a three-point victory.
Zhang Shun either didn't know the situation here, but still didn't take the opportunity to occupy Huixian County, or he was afraid of excessive pressure. The prefect of Wei Hui Prefecture had no choice but to put Deng Qi and Zuo Liangyu into the prefecture.
In any case, Huixian's city defense is far worse than that of Weihuifu City. It attracts more officers and soldiers to garrison the city than it does to garrison Huifu City. What's more, if you don't want to give up your children, you can't trap the wolf. If you don't give the officers and soldiers a little hope, how can you lure the officers and soldiers to accept the battle?
Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, Deng Qi, Zuo Liangyu and others had just suffered a small loss, and they couldn't help but be careless.
Seeing that Huixian County was not occupied by "thieves", they were afraid of fraud. They first sent cavalry to test the area several times. After confirming that there were no ambushes or other problems near Huixian County, they cautiously led the troops into the city.
There should be only one update today, and the second update is being updated. It is basically impossible to finish the update.
