A Weird Theater That Started In London

The Japanese have no generals!

If you ignore the previous sniper battle in the three natural defense lines, ignore the brothers Shimadzu Yoshihisa, Shimadzu Yoshihiro, and even Governor Konishi and others.

Indeed, such a conclusion can be drawn.

After all, the Japanese attack this time seems to be very powerful, but in fact it is the same thing.

Lu Li, who used his supernatural powers to become a giant, whistled past with a slap, and directly shattered the sheds, preventing them from being able to rise above the city and causing effective damage to the interior.

If the Japanese pirates had a general in charge, how could this be?

Among the four gates, only the north gate was a bit difficult, but the two large generals and artillery were sitting in the town, which prevented the group of militiamen from entering the hand-to-hand battle and showing their timidity.

After about two hours of fighting, the two sides did not engage in generals, or even soldiers on soldiers, they were always attacking with firearms.

However, the resulting movement was so frightening that the people of the city didn't dare to close their eyes and rest. There were explosions everywhere, and the firelight stained half of the sky.

For a moment, Lu Li felt that the old monkey Hideyoshi was unwilling to lose any more generals, so he relied on the large number of people and the abundance of ammunition to consume Nanyuan City.

The Art of War says: Ten is to encircle it, five is to attack it, and if it is doubled, it is divided.

Judging from the current strength of the Japanese pirates, it is entirely possible to achieve a siege of the city and keep harassing it like this.

Maybe they themselves will have casualties, but the defenders in the city are so small that they cannot be supplemented in any form. As time goes on, the number of deaths accumulates little by little, and morale will definitely drop. This is also the reason why many armored soldiers want to die quickly—

Compared with death itself, the process of waiting for death is obviously more tormenting and grinding. Many warriors who had the courage to fight the enemy to the death at first lost their fighting spirit during the long waiting and fighting.

Returning to his normal body shape, he flicked the projectile embedded in his fingers, and Lu Li looked down at the city. The group of evacuated remnants and defeated soldiers looked extremely embarrassed, and some even lost their iron cannons.

"Chen Baihu, take someone down and collect those firearms."

"Yes."

No way, the number of firearms in the city is far less than that of the Japanese army, so I can add a little.

In addition, Lu Li felt that the old guy Hideyoshi would probably not be around for a long time, because he was too conceited and his brain was different from that of most commanders.

This slightly formal attack is probably a big test to measure the defensive strength of the four gates of Nanyuan, so as to formulate a better siege plan.

noon.

Lu Li completed his routine city tour. He used the earth magic, water talisman, to draw healing talismans for the wounded in the other three sects, and did his best to boost morale.

The Liaodong iron cavalry is very conscious, and he is very fond of the general soldier.

And Li Chao's militiamen...

It is true that it is a bit too much to say that mud can't support the wall, but there is really not much patriotism.

After all, their so-called "Little China" court, from top to bottom, is not a good thing.

You can resent the imperial court. There is not much sense of national belonging at the time of life and death. It does not mean that others can be implicated.

So, Lu Li simply acted as a villain. He asked Tang Chuan to arrest a group of militiamen who could not avoid fighting during nighttime battles, crying and disturbing morale, and displayed their heads in public.

Dozens of heads flew out.

All the militiamen looked at Lu Li, Tang Chuan, Li Funan, Jin Jinglao and other leading generals, and their eyes changed instantly.

Needless to say, there must be resentment and curses.

But Ci does not command the army!

This has been the case since time immemorial.

In the Art of War written by Li Jing, the recognized **** of war in the Tang Dynasty, it is stated that: To be a general, three out of ten soldiers must be killed, so as to deter the enemy country; , and obey your orders solemnly.

In order to avoid the sudden fall of the North Gate, causing the other three gates to fall into a critical situation, Lu Li struck while the iron was hot and wrote down dozens of temporary military orders.

1. Cooperate with the enemy and reveal the military situation.

2. Abandoning the army and fleeing.

3. Those who privately pray to ghosts and gods, yin and yang divination, spread misfortune and auspicious rumors in the army, disturb the hearts of the army, and those who talk and discuss with him.

4. Alarmed the army for no reason, screaming and running, lying about the attack of Japanese thieves.

5. Discuss changes in the sky, predict good and bad luck, recommend each other, and talk about military aircraft.

6. To plunder the wealth of the people in the city.

7. Rape women and bring them into the camp.

8. Those who surrender without a fight.

9. The battle has been set, scramble around at will, interfere with the front and rear, left and right, and execute them on the spot.

10. When fighting, turn your body to your own person and aim your firearm at your comrade-in-arms.

11. Defend the besieged land. Those who can't fight to the death will be executed by the whole team.

12. When the enemy is besieged and the situation is critical, if the neighboring troops on the front, back, left, and right do not provide rescue, the position is captured by the enemy, and the surrounding troops are all executed.

13. The generals defending the enemy, the lieutenant below, do not follow in order, do not rescue each other, do not work together, and are executed.

…

When these rules were announced to the entire army, all the Li Chao militiamen exploded in an instant. They had never seen such a strict military order!

Then, Tang Chuan executed another group of people in accordance with the above-mentioned order, and in an instant, the military appearance was solemn.

Zhang but not slackening, civil and military incompetence.

Lu Li also arranged consolation measures.

If there are sick patients, it must be ensured that they can eat sick rice, the porridge must be thick, and the meat must be visible in it.

Doctors should make rounds of inspections to ensure that any condition of the wounded can be treated in time.

For those sick patients who can walk, a young man in the city is assigned to walk with them.

Without the commander's order, it is forbidden to abandon the wounded soldiers. Once the abandonment is found, the inspector and the relevant people will all be executed.

Regarding the situation of the sick person and the person who died due to the disease, it is reported regularly every morning. The deceased will get a five-foot-deep tomb in the corner of the city.

Lu Li even registered a roster, promising that if any of the soldiers of the Li Dynasty escaped from the city alive, they would urge their court to grant pensions to their widows and give them preferential treatment.

Under the co-existence of grace and power, the North Gate is temporarily free of worries.

Unfortunately, I wasn't happy for a long time.

The problem reappeared.

This time, not from within, but from outside.

There is a Buddhist temple near Nanyuan, where Zhao Feng had kidnapped soldiers and monks. The temple enshrined four giant statues of heavenly kings. After the Japanese occupied them, they dragged them out and walked around the city. .

A monk immediately came to see Lu Li and asked him to **** the Buddha statue back, because if he sits and ignores this kind of provocation, the soldier's spirit will be continuously attacked.

Mastering the stick, but aiming for the yard.

The Japanese were obviously conspiracy, forcing the army in the city to go out to fight.

Hundred households under his command had tried to persuade him many times, but Lu Li had made up his mind. He would go out of the city in person and take back the four statues of heavenly kings, so as to strengthen the morale of the army and the people in the city.
