While in the camp, Lu Yunyou was irritated by the gossip in his ears. This was the first time he saw such a restless Star Army, as if everyone had lost confidence and only complained without any hope.
The performance of each Star Army was completely different from when they first came to Windless City. It didn't need to be said by the general above, but Lu Yunyou knew that yesterday's defeat had a huge impact on those Star Army.
While thinking that everyone should calm down, while marveling at the clever strategy of the enemy commander, Lu Yunyou felt more and more that the enemy had greatly damaged their morale at a very small cost. It was obvious that the commander of the Yi Army was different from the former commander of the Star Army. The two commanders-in-chief of the Feng Army are very different. The current commander-in-chief of the Yi Army is a truly strategic person.
Now the opponent controls the changes in their morale. Such an outstanding move makes it difficult for Lu Yunyou to confirm whether they can defend Wufeng City. At the same time, it makes him feel his own insignificance. In this competition that concerns the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, there is no one else. It doesn't seem to make any difference, no matter how many thoughts he has, they are all over-concerns.
Of course, he didn't need to compare himself with someone as powerful as the Commander-in-Chief of the Yi Army, but when he was excited, he couldn't control his thoughts and would always think about things randomly. As a result, because he thought too much, he still Therefore, there was some fear of Yijun.
This fear is more about the fear of war. To this day, he still feels that he is not suitable to be a soldier, let alone participate in cruel battles, but his situation has always been that he cannot control himself.
Just like this, a day passed in the blink of an eye, amidst the scoldings of Yijun. Early the next morning, after a quiet night, Yijun came again to scold and fight. The number of Yijun who came today was even less, only 80,000. There are quite a few shield soldiers in the Yi Army.
While Lu Yunyou and others were training, Yi Jun belittled them outside the city, calling them a vain and a bunch of rabble, and still scolded them as worthless.
Under the various obscenities of those Yi Jun, the defenders on the city all felt that it was a shame for them to be standing on the city, and they could not face the Yi Jun's vulgar and obscene words.
However, a day passed, and Lan Xu and the generals still failed to come up with an effective way to crack the shield soldiers, at least in terms of main attack.
At present, according to the ideas of some generals, they can use crossbows to break up the formation of shield soldiers. However, the number of existing crossbows is not large, and it is too late to make them. Moreover, the role of crossbows is limited, and their effect on shield soldiers may not be It is too obvious, and it is inconvenient to use during the main attack, or it is difficult to use on the battlefield.
If it is defensive, they can use fire attacks. As long as the enemy cannot attack the city wall, the enemy's shield soldiers will be roasted by the flames like ordinary soldiers. In general, they will continue to defend the city. More appropriate.
Holding on to the city was still the biggest result that the generals discussed together yesterday, but now the behavior of the Yi army has made many generals restless. It is also a kind of destruction for them to endure it, but it is difficult for any general with a little bit of blood. Bear with it, not to mention that many generals have already participated in several battles.
The generals above are like this, and the soldiers below are even more like this. No one with a bit of blood can bear the insults of the Yi Army. This may also be the negative impact of winning all the time. It is not a good thing for the generals above to suppress the emotions of the soldiers.
For others, the current situation is unacceptable, but for Lu Yunyou, this is actually a test. Anyone who has read military books knows that it is not necessary for the two armies to confront each other head-on. Through certain means, those who are good at fighting can achieve victory without fighting. Although Yi Jun's current behavior cannot achieve the effect of victory, it at least makes the war situation develop in that direction.
Before the decisive battle between the two sides, the behavior of the Yi Army and how the Star Army responded was completely a contest between the top leaders of both sides. In Lu Yunyou's view, ordinary soldiers who have too many ideas are simply asking for trouble. If the Yi Army does not attack for a day, city, they will be safer for one more day.
But having said that, even though he thought so, in the current environment, it was also difficult for him to wait with peace of mind. He was still constantly influenced by other people. Maybe his will was too weak. After realizing this, , the only thing Lu Yunyou can do is to strengthen training so that he has no time to think too much.
Tonight, Lu Yunyou met some acquaintances while patrolling. Not surprisingly, everyone no longer had that relaxed look on their faces, and they all seemed to be in a bad mood.
The atmosphere in the army is getting worse and worse. I don't know if there is any solution from above, but Lu Yunyou knows that it will not be a good thing if this continues.
After being harassed by the Yi Army for a day, at night, everyone wanted to have a good night's rest. But before going to bed, the Yi Army actually sent another army, holding torches outside the city and taking turns shouting war, shouting to every star in the military camp. Even the soldiers could hear it. As a result, the Star Army could not even take a good rest. Many soldiers were even more angered by the behavior of the Yi Army. They stood up, put on their armor, picked up their weapons, and spontaneously walked out of the camp to prepare for a battle with the Yi Army. .
On the city tower, Lan Xu could not determine the specific number of the Yi Army based on the situation below. He could only ask the Xing Army to prepare for the battle. But unfortunately, after waiting for an hour, the Yi Army did nothing but scold and fight. , there was no plan to attack the city at all.
The generals were extremely angry at Yi Jun's increasingly humiliating behavior, but Lan Xu also strictly ordered them not to lead troops privately into battle. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed. Therefore, they could only stand on the city and listen to Yi Jun's insults. Although Some people will retaliate, but in the end they are still upset.
Judging from Yi Jun's performance in the past hour, Yi Jun just came to harass them for a rest. After waiting for an hour, Lan Xu and the generals already understood this. Unfortunately, they were not sure whether the enemy had other plans. , they could only arrange for some people to go back to rest first, while the others had to continue to guard to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking the city.
The whole night was spent in the insults of Yi Jun. Early the next morning, more than half of the soldiers in the third battalion did not sleep well. Many soldiers even stayed up all night. Lu Yunyou was one of those who stayed up all night.
Obviously knowing that Yijun deliberately interfered with their rest, they just couldn't sleep, and the other Xingjun who lived with him were also tossing and turning on the bed one by one, and finally managed to stay up until dawn.
After a blast of horns, when they lined up as usual, everyone had a haggard look on their face. If they experienced another night like this, I'm afraid the Yi army would collapse in advance before they came to attack the city.
Since joining the army, this is the first time Lu Yunyou has realized "what it means to be a soldier who conquers the enemy without fighting."
While many soldiers were scolding the enemy for being despicable and shameless, Lu Yunyou, who was lucky enough to read half a word of it when Fang Qing was copying the marching theory, once again lamented the enemy commander's clever strategy, which destroyed their energy without even using a single soldier. .
After breakfast, the general above did not ask them to participate in the training. Instead, he told everyone to rest on their own. However, he emphasized that they should not discuss the military situation in private.
The lack of training made it easier for the soldiers who were not well rested. However, the punctual insults from the Yijun outside the city made them uneasy. Just like the previous two days, the Yijun started shouting and swearing outside the city again. At first, he said that the Star Army was He cowered, and then scolded Lan Xu for being brave and vain. It was because of Lan Wu that he took the position of general, and demoted Lan Xu to be worthless. Finally, he scolded those star army generals for being useless. Lan Wu, no one can live to this day.
Those who were responsible for insulting the Star Army used extremely rude words. It was hard to imagine that it was a group of men collectively cursing people, and it was even more unbearable when this happened to Lan Xu and other generals.
"General, instead of competing with the enemy in psychological warfare, it is better to go out and have a good fight with them. I promise that I will beat the shit out of the Yi army and never dare to insult me and others outside the city again. ," The speaker was Yan Nantian, the commander of the Arrow Camp. After enduring two consecutive days of insults from the Yi Army, he became more determined to fight.
Especially after knowing that Yijun only sent 60,000 soldiers today, he felt that Yijun's move was not only a provocation to the Star Army, but also a form of contempt, which he could not accept at all.
At the same time, none of the star army generals who knew that Yi Jun was trying their best to insult them could endure it. Even Lan Xu felt that the enemy commander was going too far, but as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he must not make mistakes based on impulse. Decide.
"His Royal Highness is here today. The general must give us an explanation." During the meeting, generals who were in charge of the battle continued to put pressure on Lan Xu.
As a general of the three armed forces, Lan Xu not only had to withstand the pressure exerted by the enemy commander in the past few days, but also had to deal with the pressure from many subordinates. It was too difficult for him to do a good job as a general.
Now the main battle seems to be popular. Looking at the eager eyes of the generals, Lan Xu gradually realizes that as long as he insists on not fighting, he will definitely attract everyone's opposition. The key is that the Star Army must not fight now.
"Your Highness, is there any news from Xingdu?" Without answering the generals' questions, Lan Xu turned to Lan Jing. For Lan Xu, perhaps the instructions from Xingdu would be the key to easing the situation.
