Chapter 9 First Leader 3

The city is small, and not all defenders can go to the city. Another part of the defenders are placed on standby under the city. Although there was no recruitment, some people were recruited to assist in logistics.

These are only fixed elements of defending the city. In addition, there is another crucial point: response.

The attacker is active and the defenders are passive. Pre- anticipation of the enemy's attack, the defenders can naturally deal with it calmly. However, once you encounter an unpredictable attack, if you don't think of a solution in a very short time, the situation of defending the city will turn into danger. Attacking and defending the city is not only a test of the bravery of the soldiers of the two armies, but also the wisdom of the generals of the two armies.

Although Sun En successfully escaped from the siege of Huiji, this time he was not as rushed as when he fled from Wu County. After he gained a firm foothold, he immediately collected the rest and began to divide his troops to attack the coastal towns.

I have only been stationed for more than ten days, and nearly 3,000 thieves invaded by the sea.

The panic of the people and the uneasiness of the soldiers are obvious. I have to stabilize the army again and again, although this so-called "army" is only a few hundred people.

Although I am also a little uneasy, this uneasiness is not that I will not be able to resist the attack of the thief army, but that the thief soldiers will be stationed under the city for a long time.

Every defense battle, you will shed tears even if you don't bleed, and you will sweat even if you don't shed tears. One or two battles of defending the city are only a test of bravery, while the long-term battle of defending the city is a huge test of will and perseverance.

Since the last time I "fight" with thousands of thieves outside Wujun City, I have realized a truth - the so-called "two armies compete, the brave win". This courage is actually not quite brave, but wisdom and courage. When I was surrounded by thieves, I showed courage. Although we also killed a lot of thieves, our people and horses were lost, and even we were in a deep siege and could not escape. At a critical opportunity, he changed his tactics in a hurry, from bravery to bravery. When I used the power, I waited for the opportunity to get out.

The reason why I repeatedly recalled and studied that war was not because of this proud record of the so-called "no one before, no one after", but because it was not only the first battle of my life, but also an extremely bizarre battle.

Although it was rumored among soldiers and people that I had ghosts and gods to help me at that time, I completely didn't believe such nonsense. However, since it is manpower, there must be a reason. Every time I think about this, I can always find some merits from it, and of course there are many lessons.

I remember once when we talked about this matter with Liu Laozhi, we discussed the difference between "one enemy" and "ten thousand enemies". In fact, I think there is no difference between the two in a sense. No matter what kind of "enemy" it is, its highest position is nothing more than what Sun Wu said, "condescending soldiers without fighting".

It is impossible to fight alone with thousands of people. But since this did happen, it can only be said to be accidental. At present, there are 3,000 thief soldiers outside the city, but I have no confidence to go out of the city alone to fight with them again.

Even if I have the advantage of "potential", I will no longer fight those 3,000 people. Because at that time, it is not a critical time; its people are not mortals. The situation of putting it to death does not exist at all.

Although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I believe that people will show an extraordinary ability under certain special circumstances. Such ability may be either physical ability or intelligence. Ordinary people's extraordinary abilities can be said to be everywhere.

I have witnessed a living example. Once, I opened a mountain outside Jingkou City with my fellow villagers, and as a result, I encountered a mudslide. A half-big child who lived with us couldn't escape and was pressed under the mudstone. One of his legs was pressed by a boulder and he couldn't move. Just as we were trying to rescue, the child's mother came to deliver food. Seeing this, the mother threw the food box and collapsed to the ground and cried a few times.

Then she rushed over crazily, roaring and pushing the boulder hard. Next, there was a scene that surprised us: the huge stone that five or six strong men could not shake was moved away by the woman. After the child is rescued, we will ask the woman to push the boulder. In any case, she can no longer move it. Her strength can't compare with us at all. She can't even move the stones we can hold.

And I have heard more of this kind of real rumors.

In Wujun's "battle", I happened to apply the momentum in the "one enemy"; now in the face of a large army, what I need to consider is how to apply this trend when there are "ten thousand enemies". As long as I can grasp the situation, it can make it more likely to win.

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they also conquered the State of Chu. Sun Wu and Wu Zixu only used 30,000, while Wang Jian used 600,000. Although the State of Chu at the end of the Warring States Period was stronger than the State of Chu at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the 20 times the difference in strength also shows the comparison between Wang Jian and Sun Wu and Wu Zixu. What's more, Wang Jian, who led the 600,000 powerful Qin army, was not mediocre. He was known as the "four generals of the Warring States Period" together with Bai Qi, Lian Po and Li Mu. In addition, when Guan Zhong assisted Duke Huan of Qi, he only used 30,000 people to counterbalance the Central Plains countries.

There are few soldiers!

The deeds of the ancients are too far away and mixed with too many legends. But isn't a recent example a good proof of this theory? Xie Shi and Xie Xuan led Xie Yan, Liu Jaozhi and others to defeat the invincible Fu Jian's army by tens of thousands of people. This battle occurred more than ten years ago and is well known. Among the soldiers, there are soldiers who have personally participated in the war that year.

Although these examples do not have the opportunity to tell these soldiers one by one, the first priority now is to teach these timid soldiers to use power to inspire their confidence in defeating the enemy.

Zhang City doesn't even have a campus for military exercises, so I have to ask people to remove the debris piled up in the yard of the treasury and remove a large amount of open space for use in the school grounds.

Except for the people in charge of defense who continue to patrol the city and the head of the city, the rest of the soldiers were recruited into the temporary school yard by me. This is the second time I have talked to these soldiers.

After I first reiterated the main points of defense and military discipline, I let these soldiers sit together in a circle. I'm sitting in the middle of this circle.

I looked around with a smile and said, "You know, there are only 300 defenders, and there are thousands of thieves outside the city. What do you think now? Will you be panicked?

A soldier said, "I'm not too panicked."

"Oh?"

"I'm just a little scared."

When the soldier said this, everyone laughed.

I also smiled and said, "You're right. Do you have any other ideas?"

I looked around for a week, and the soldiers only looked at me and didn't say anything.

So I raised my voice and said, "You don't speak, and you are a little scared like this little brother. In fact, to tell you the truth, I can't help but be afraid. I'm also afraid that there will be a lot of thieves and soldiers.
