One Thousand One Hundred and Ninety-Two: Fa Xu Pei, the First Prince to Kill (62)

Xu Pei was indeed in a terrible mood.

A few months ago, he had driven Xu Fei to a desperate situation, forcing the other party to hang himself in despair. Now that it was his turn, Xu Pei deeply felt the despair. He is like an old and trapped animal that has been injured, lost its claws, and pulled out its teeth. It is afraid of its own future, and even more afraid of death.

He, Xu Pei, has been the proud son of heaven since he was born, the eldest grandson of the Xu family, an existence that everyone envies.

Although there are occasional unsatisfactory things, he is still the justifiable head of the Xu clan after suffering the death of a biased and trusting old man.

It was supposed to be the standard equipment for a winner in life, but now it has been reduced to look like a lost dog.

People say fate, Xu Pei doesn't believe it, but now he has to believe it.

He forced his cousin Xu Fei to death, so in the dark, he was also forced into the mountain urn city by others, following in Xu Fei's footsteps?

Xu Pei seemed to be dazed, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was fate.

However, he did not become negative because of this, but became more irritable and irritable, and many servants who served him were beaten up.

Looking at Xu Pei's current appearance, Han Yu couldn't equate the "lunatic" who couldn't stand the setbacks in front of him with the gentle and modest young man with great ambitions, as if that young man was just imagined by Han Yu. This made Han Yu extremely disappointed.

Han Yu and Cheng Xun couldn't persuade Xu Pei, and Xie Ze, as brother-in-law, also came forward to persuade him, but returned in vain.

Now Xu Pei has gotten into a dead end, and no one else can help him except himself.

Han Yu sighed softly, and the brows of his gentle brows were stained with sadness, but he quickly adjusted and showed his usual expression.

"Lieutenant Xie, have the soldiers and horses in the city been counted neatly?"

Xu Pei put down the pick, but Han Yu couldn't slack off, he had to be responsible for the soldiers in the city.

Xie Ze said, "The inventory has been neatly counted... However, the morale of the people is low, and the fear of fighting is very strong. Even if a few deserters are killed to warn others, the effect is not great. There are more and more deserters now."

If he attacked the city quickly and painstakingly, Xie Ze would not have such a headache.

But the enemy deliberately played tricks on them, instead of attacking the city, they held a big horn with a strange shape and roared at the city gate all day long.

I don't know what these people grew up eating, their voices are really loud, but Xie stayed at the top of the city and couldn't hear it.

In fact, although the voices of those soldiers who were responsible for shouting and provoking were loud, they were not so loud.

Jiang Pengji tossed out a big speaker a long time ago, a thin copper sheet encircling the city in a conical shape, with a round opening at the top, although the shape is simple, the ability to transmit sound is not weak. If it is used for shouting before the battle, the effect will be even more powerful, wouldn't it come in handy now?

The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the soldiers, and the second is to attack the city.

Attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom; mental warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom.

It's not that Jiang Pengji didn't think about attacking the city, but the centipede was dead but not stiff, and Xu Pei's remaining troops were not dough, and it wasn't like others could pinch them as they wanted. If they were to attack the city by force, Jiang Pengji and Yang Tao would have to dig a piece of meat and shed some blood to take down the urn city if there were enough equipment in the city. After much deliberation, Yang Si, a wimpy guy, came up with this trick.

There are three shifts a day, and at twelve o'clock they take turns shouting and shouting. Before the battle, drums and horns are played to instigate the enemy's morale.

Xu Pei was defeated one after another, the morale of the army was shaky, and the soldiers didn't have any opinions. A few words of provocation could shake them, and the effect was immediate. There were more and more deserters, and even though Xie Ze slaughtered them in public to stabilize the morale of the army a little, the soldiers were still flustered.

Xie was so busy that he didn't have time to tidy up his appearance, the stubble had already appeared on his short hair, and he looked much more haggard and downcast than usual.

Han Yu had a headache and said, "Just killing the deserters can be effective for a while, but it will only backfire after a long time."

Pay attention to a degree in everything, killing one or two deserters can serve as a deterrent effect, but if you kill a hundred or ten deserters, not only will the soldiers below not behave, but they will feel that the general is cruel, which will further strengthen their desire to escape. idea.

Xie Ze also knows this truth.

But let the deserters flood, sooner or later Shanurn City will have no soldiers to defend.

"If my lord can..."

Xie Ze opened his mouth and swallowed the rest of the words for a while.

If Xu Pei, as the lord, can take the initiative to stand up and boost morale, it will not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also arouse the determination of the soldiers to fight to the death.

but -

Han Yu's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say a word.

"How is Huang Song's situation?"

Huang Song was their ally. Although the relationship between the two parties was not very close, without Huang Song's help, Xu Pei would have knelt down long ago.

Just as Han Yu asked, Xie Ze clenched his fists in grief and anger as if he had suffered some humiliation.

"He? Although Huang Song left some people behind, what use are those people?"

Self-preservation is everyone's instinct, but as the abandoned party, it is impossible for Xie Ze not to be angry and resentful.

Han Yu's furrowed eyebrows became more and more tangled.

"...Finally, is there any news from Zhejiang County?"

The morale of the army fell to the bottom, and the fall of Zhejiang County and the loss of relatives' lives were one of the main reasons.

Han Yu was also worried about his family and his children, but he couldn't show it outright.

If he hadn't trusted him, he wouldn't have dared to ask such a question.

Xie Ze sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, "There is no news yet, so I don't know if he is alive or dead."

Han Yu said, "Yu and Liu Xi have met for several times. Although I can't guarantee it, but according to her temperament, she will not attack the female family members, old and young."

The real strong are never achieved by suppressing and bullying the weak.

Xie said with a sad face, "I hope so—"

His family members are also in Zhejiang County, so it is impossible not to worry.

Han Yu looked in the direction of the city, his eyes filled with thought.

"Don't worry, she will definitely not do that." Han Yu said firmly.

The war has come to a stalemate recently, and Han Yu has limited things to do, so he has more time to reminisce about the past—the Liu Xi in his memory is a high-spirited and somewhat rebellious young man, if she really had the ambition to be in the world, she would not be in such a Time to dig your own grave.

Xie was surprised, "Why?"

Han Yu said, "Slaughtering the enemy's relatives, women and children, if she dares to bear such a bad name, she will completely lose the qualification to win the Kyushu. Not to mention, do you know how many families and powers there are in this small mountain urn city? The connections between each other How big is the network? Even though Liu Xi uses a lot of poor families, the people under her tent are still related to other forces, such as Gongluo and Cheng Yuan under her tent. By doing this, she not only cut off her own way out , ruined the foundation of several years of operation, and at the same time planted a fatal hidden danger for itself.”

Competing in the world is never a game for one person, let alone a one-shot game.

Jiang Pengji wanted to absorb Xu Pei's influence and strengthen herself, so it was impossible for her to completely offend everyone.

Xie took a deep breath.

He looked around and asked a very outrageous question suddenly.

"Military Master, if the urn and the city are broken and the lord is unlucky...then you..."

Is it death, surrender or retreat?

Han Yu's light eyes swept over, and Xie Ze's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.
