As soon as he finished speaking, someone asked: "Listen to Huang Shuai, but what are the best countermeasures?"
Huang Zudao said: "There is a saying in the art of war. The superior troops attack the enemy and the subordinates attack the city. When it comes to attacking the enemy's plan, attacking the heart is the most important thing."
What he said was ambiguous, and Ye Gui couldn't help but said: "How to attack the heart?"
Huang Zu glanced at him: "For all warriors, morale comes first. As long as the fighting spirit of the Qin army is wiped out, the tiger and wolf divisions will no longer exist, and Shanyu Pass will be easily broken."
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Huangfu Ye said: "But the Qin army is united and united. They would rather die than retreat. It is difficult to defeat their morale and fighting spirit."
"How do you know it won't work if you don't do it?" Ancestor Huang asked rhetorically, and then said: "Immediately draft a letter of persuasion to surrender, make thousands of copies, and throw a trebuchet into the city tomorrow, so that all the soldiers of the Qin army will know that this battle will be fought. Their resistance is meaningless, and if they continue to fight, there will be only death!"
"At the same time, I asked famous people to help me write a petition to criticize the King of Qin verbally and writtenly! This will make Qin collapse morally, make us a righteous army, and make the Qin army not know why they are fighting."
During the war, creating public opinion, making the other side become the party that deserves to be attacked, and making oneself the just party. These things have a great impact indeed. If used appropriately, they will shake the morale of the military and the people to a certain extent.
Hearing this, people nodded their heads loudly. Hanzhou said: "It is indeed feasible to attack the heart, but when it comes to celebrities in the world, it is best for Mr. Cheng Ping of your country to write it himself. That way the effect will be greater."
"Yes." Huang Zu nodded and said, "I will send a letter to Wang Ting right away."
There were many civil servants in the army. That night, Huang Zu ordered these civil servants to copy bamboo slips and they were busy all night. By the next morning, more than a thousand bamboo slips were also loaded into the trebuchet and used as stone bullets, and they were thrown in one after another. Within the pass.
The sound of mechanical bounces was heard one after another, and baskets of bamboo slips drew an arc in the air. Some hit the city head, some hit the pass, and the bamboo slips were scattered on the ground.
Out of curiosity, many Qin soldiers picked up the bamboo slips and gathered around them in twos and threes, talking about them.
Many people come from poor backgrounds and are illiterate, and they are also asking curiously:
"What's written on this..."
"What does this coalition mean..."
The matter spread quickly, and Su Yi was also rushing over. Goldman Sachs held a bamboo slip in his hand and hurriedly came to his side: "Su Shuai."
Su Yi took it and took a quick glance at it.
In the bamboo slips, it is simply said that the Qin State is going against heaven. The 900,000 allied troops are just the vanguard, and there will be more behind them. If they continue to resist, there will be only death. It is better to surrender as soon as possible to survive.
This letter of persuasion to surrender was not that simple. Instead, it analyzed the current battle situation for the Qin Army in detail, and emphasized that it was impossible for the Qin Army to defend Shanyu Pass. In terms of content, it severely damaged the confidence of the Qin Army.
After reading it, Su Yi closed the bamboo slips and said quietly: "Huang Zu wants to attack the city and his heart at the same time."
Goldman said anxiously: "Commander Su, our soldiers are all talking about the bamboo slips now. Look at this..."
Su Yi raised his hand slightly to stop what he was saying and continued walking towards Chengguan.
On the way, he also happened to encounter Ning Zhan scolding the soldiers.
"Don't even look at it!"
"Everyone does his job!"
"Destroy all these bamboo slips!"
"General Ning." Su Yi shouted.
The latter turned around, hurried forward, clasped his fists and said, "Su Shuai."
"No need to stop him, let the soldiers see." Su Yi said directly.
"What?" Ning Zhan's expression changed and he said anxiously: "Commander Su, these bamboo slips are obviously trying to disrupt the morale of our army! If we let this happen, won't the coalition forces succeed in their conspiracy?"
"Things have already happened. Even if the bamboo slips are destroyed now, it will be useless. Besides, the morale of our officers and soldiers can not be disturbed so easily!" Su Yi said.
"But!" Ning Zhan wanted to say something else.
Su Yi looked at him and gave a stern order: "Except for the Chengguan defense troops, order all officers and soldiers to assemble inside the pass."
Ning Zhan was stunned for a moment, then he clasped his fists and accepted the order: "No!"
Half an hour later.
The siege broke out again, and the fierce fighting continued.
Inside the pass, various units of the Qin army gathered. As far as the eye could see, they were all black armor and red tassels, standing in formation.
On the general stage, Su Yi was dressed in armor, with a cape on his back and a sword hanging on his waist.
Looking at the soldiers below, he raised the bamboo slips in his hands and said in a loud voice:
"Everyone must already know about the bamboo slips!"
“I don’t need to say more about the coalition’s intentions!”
"We, the Qin army officers! We have never had weak points! Ever since the king founded the army! There is no word of surrender in our army!"
"What kind of arduous war has our army never fought? Back then, with farm tools in hand, weeds and ice and snow, we dared to fight Xirong to the end!"
"Not to mention today's battle to protect our homeland!"
"You are all soldiers! Behind you is the State of Qin! Are all the people of the State of Qin!"
"Why did the coalition attack us! It's not because they don't want to see Qin's strength!"
"For many years, all the countries in the world have regarded our Qin land as a barbaric country, and our Qin people as barbaric people, unworthy of Chinese etiquette!"
"The king worked hard to rule! He fought in the north and south! The soldiers shed their blood to establish the place we stand today!"
"But they want to unite and bring us back to the past!"
"Such bamboo slips just show that they have no choice!"
"They can't defeat us! They can only do this!"
"Any little tricks are vulnerable in the face of absolute military morale!"
"Because we are waiting to fight for our country!"
He shouted loudly and gathered the morale of the army. All the soldiers below stood straight and looked at him without blinking.
After finishing speaking, he also drew out the sword from his waist: "Great Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years!"
"Great Qin Ten Thousand Years——" All the soldiers began to hit the ground with their halberds and shouted in unison.
With the blood of the Qin people and the bravery of the Qin army, how could it be possible to demoralize the army with just a few words.
What's more, Su Yi is in charge.
"Go to the front!"
"Commanders of our headquarters, run forward!" A general shouted and commanded.
The roaring sound of running infantry began to fill the whole place.
After the city closed, the battle continued, and the bloody battle was as brutal as ever.
The bamboo slips incident not only did not cause chaos among the Qin army, but in fact the resistance became more intense.
After being repelled again, Huang Zu returned to the Chinese army's tent. He couldn't help but walked back and forth a few steps and said: "The bamboo slips attack the heart. I thought that the Qin army would have some fluctuations, but I didn't expect that their defense was still like this." , This shows Su Yi’s ability to command troops."
Huangfu Ye said: "No matter what you say, he is also a famous general of the Qin State. He has been praised many times by the King of Qin. If he can cause the Qin army to be in chaos the first time with just bamboo slips, then Su Yi will not have to lead the army."
Huang Zu nodded: "Well, that's right, but it's better to do better than never. When attacking the city, continue to adopt a heart-attack strategy, a two-pronged approach."
