Chapter 66 Incompetent Fury

After half an hour.

The climax of the celebration banquet has passed, and most of the soldiers are already drinking and eating donkeys and horses.

The thorough investigation of military discipline ordered by Shen Shuren has already taken shape.

In the final stage of the battle in the afternoon, the soldiers who escaped the front and jumped into the river to escape were all captured.

Among them, who was the first to escape and yelled to shake the morale of the army was also clarified through the mutual identification of the soldiers.

Shen Shuren held the hilt of his saber, stood proudly, and patrolled the deserters back and forth.There was no anger on his face, but it made these soldiers more and more terrified, wondering what military law would be waiting for them.

After patrolling around, Shen Shuren stopped in front of a soldier who had broken four fingers and was still oozing blood from the bandage on his right palm:
"Your name is Xu Dao Scar? You were the first one to turn around and jump into the river this afternoon? Fortunately, you are still a squadron leader, inferior to ordinary soldiers! Zuo Zixiong, what should this crime be according to military law?"

Zuo Zixiong paused expressionlessly: "When cut..."

Shen Shuren waved his hand: "Come here, drag this coward down and cut him down! The other soldiers who jumped into the river have [-] army sticks each, and they will be assigned to the dai sin battalion. They will be the first to ascend in the next battle, and they will be pardoned only if they perform well!"

When Xu Dao Scar heard this, his pupils dilated violently a few times, but the deserter next to him seemed to be pardoned.

"Master Tongzhi, I'm guilty, give me a chance to make meritorious deeds! Boss, save me, I was just confused for a while."

In desperation, Xu Daobang couldn't talk about conditions with Shen Shuren, so he had to drag the chief executive Lu Datou to help intercede in the middle of the conversation.

Lu Datou killed several enemy soldiers today and was injured a little bit, which is a bit of credit.They used to live in Huangjiakou Town, and they have known each other for many years. They couldn't bear to see Xu Daohuang killed, so they knelt down and begged:
"My lord! It's his first offense, so give him a chance? This subordinate is willing to use today's kill to save him from death. I heard that Liu Xiyao's army will come to attack the city soon, and let Xu Dao Scar fight to the death on the top of the city. Better than dying by one's own hands."

Shen Shuren said sternly: "Forgive him? Then who will spare those warriors who died in battle because of his escape! I never punished you indiscriminately, and I have thoroughly investigated it just now. At that time, the two teams adjacent to Xu Dao Scar's left and right, his team They were all killed in battle! It was because the flanks were exposed and they were besieged by the enemy!
Ordinary soldiers lack courage, go into battle for the first time, and retreat from the crowd, and they can still avoid death.But those who take the lead in shaking the morale of the army must be killed!As soon as the report came quickly, in addition, the two teams who died in the battle on the left and right wings of his family were paid 100 taels! "

"My surname is Shen, my Japanese ancestor! Your soldiers and servants can hide on the boat and shoot coldly, and let us coolies on the dock help you stand in front! I don't accept it!"

Xu Dao Scar knew that he was bound to die, and he also aroused fierceness. He was a bachelor and had no family to implicate, so he simply cursed and wanted to pounce on him.

Shen Shuren was not good at martial arts, so he reacted well anyway, and immediately drew out his sword and swung wildly to force the opponent to move away.Next to him, Zuo Zixiong, with sharp eyes and quick hands, pulled out the Yanling Saber twice, cutting off the meridians of Xu Dao Scar's hands and feet.

Shen Shuren heaved a sigh of relief, discarded the sabre, which was inconvenient to behead, and took Zuo Zixiong's Yanling knife, and then chopped off Xu Dao's scar with one knife, strictly following the military law.

This was Shen Shuren's first time cutting a living person so far, and he was a little nervous. At least he completed the action, and his spirit became more determined.

After cutting, Shen Shucai pointed to the corpse and asked cautiously: "Did his four fingers be chopped off by the officers on the boat when he tried to jump into the river and climb the boat in the afternoon?"

Zuo Zixiong had already inquired, and quickly replied:
"I heard that's true. It was Shen Lian, one of Shen Baihu's subordinates, who chopped up the boss. Before Shen Baihu came back to deliver the letter, he was careful and took care of his subordinates. He said that once a war broke out, let the sailors use firecrackers. Support, but deserters are not allowed, and must be deterred by thunder.

At that time Xu Dao Scar had four fingers chopped off, and the rest of the deserters were terrified and did not dare to board the boat again.This matter is caused by my subordinates not knowing the art of war and painting tiger dogs, please punish me. "

Shen Shuren waved his hand: "Punishment will be avoided. Who in the world can study the art of war? They are all experienced in battle. This time, your bounty will be exempted, but it should show that you still have to be promoted.

There are other officers and soldiers, listen carefully too. The dead in battle will be compensated with 30 taels per person, and the wounded will be rewarded according to the circumstances.If there are no deserters in the team and the whole division fights to the end, officers at all levels will be rewarded additionally.

Those who are pikemen, those who have killed the enemy, or those who are injured and die in battle are all counted. The next time the army is expanded or upgraded, new weapons and armor can be given priority.

Those who were killed or injured due to desertion shall be deprived of pensions.For those who were killed or injured due to the escape of their teammates, the rewards deprived of the fleeing teammates will be distributed to those who fight to the death—who will not accept it! "

With a few neat words, clear rewards and punishments, and a clear explanation, coupled with Shen Shuren's prestige of chopping up Xu's scar with his own hands just now, the whole army was completely convinced.

The treasury of the Huangzhou Mansion simply couldn't afford that much money, and Shen Shuren didn't get enough money from the big family before, so in the end it must be the Shen family who paid for it.

When the Ming Dynasty reached this level of land, there were good officials who paid their own money to be officials, which was enough for the soldiers to cherish.

"This Master Tongzhi is not just a Wenqu star or a weak scholar, he can be so clear about the rewards and punishments of the military law, and the discipline is strict."

"This Xu Dao Scar is really looking for death. I heard him complain several times that he didn't want to be a pikeman. In the end, he was half-hearted and led the team to collapse. He deserved to be beheaded!
Master Tongzhi is so clear about rewards and punishments, so he must keep his promise. As long as we perform well, we can change our equipment when Liu Xiyao retreats. "

The soldiers talked a lot, no matter what, the morale and military discipline have improved a lot, and the spirit of the recruits in the regiment training is also different.

At the end of the discussion on rewards and punishments, Shen Shuren called Shen Lian, who was born in his family, alone, encouraged him a few words, and praised him for his studies. He is Qian Zong.

After the reward was over, the soldiers were extremely exhausted, and they went back to rest one after another, and each fell asleep.

Zuo Zixiong braced himself, fearing that Shen Tongzhi would slack off, so he finally seized an opportunity and reminded:
"My lord, I heard that the rogues of Zhang Xianzhong's lineage, when encountering lack of siege weapons and insisting on attacking the city, would try to trick the city gate into opening, or find traitors to cooperate with them. Although the general cannot predict the enemy How it will be done specifically, but it should be paid attention to and be on guard early.”

Shen Shuren nodded lightly: "I know all this. In fact, when you returned to the city today, I have already seriously checked. In the past few days, whenever soldiers and civilians enter and leave the city, they must strictly confirm their identities. , it will be able to respond to all changes without change.”

Seeing that he was confident, Zuo Zixiong stopped talking and went back to sleep.

……

As expected by Shen Shuren, that night, Liu Xiyao, who had just rushed to Huangjiakou Town with the army, was really furious.

No matter what plan Liu Xiyao had before sending troops, he completely forgot about it.

Now he just wants to attack Qizhou County, massacre the city, loot and vent his anger.

The only grown-up biological son was killed, which was not a heavy blow to a rogue warlord.

"Xiong'er! I swear to the heavens for my father, I will avenge you! Shen Shuren, I will tear you to pieces! No, I will tear the entire Shen family of Suzhou to pieces!
Come on, slaughter this town first!Dogs and chickens are left alone!These dog officials and lowly people dare to resist my heavenly soldiers fighting for the king, and they will all die to me!Bury Xiong Er with him! "

Liu Xiyao was so angry that he found something to smash and vented for a long time, and a worried general next to him dared to come over and report:
"Great... lord, the last general has followed your order and burned this town again. However, when the officers and soldiers withdrew, it seemed that the walls had been fortified and cleared, so they burned it first, and there were really few people to kill... could be found. killed them all."

With that said, dozens of heads will be lifted up in that movie.

In fact, the townspeople in the town had been evacuated long ago, and even the young and old were recruited into the army.The ones left now are all street thugs who wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and pick up junk, but they were unlucky to be bumped into by Liu Xiyao's army, and lost their lives in a daze.

Liu Xiyao kicked a few heads like a football to relieve his anger, and then calmed down a little, and immediately ordered: "The whole army is exhausted from a long distance. It is getting late today, so we will rest overnight. But tomorrow we must immediately prepare to attack the city!
Also, what about the guy from Yidou Valley?Fortunately, I still call him brothers and sisters. When his troops were scattered, I took him in.Let him protect Xiong Er even if he can't protect him well, I'm afraid he won't have the face to come back to see me. "

Hearing the king's order, all the generals looked at each other in blank dismay.

In the end, Niu Ziquan, a dog-headed military officer who barely read the book for a few days, boldly reminded: "My lord, our army is far away and has no siege equipment. How can we attack the city in a hurry? I'm afraid it will cost your life in vain. , Don't be angry with the teacher!

What's more, it's the autumn harvest now, we originally picked this opportunity to raise our troops, and the purpose was to benefit the enemy with food.Even if Shen Shu lives in a caged city, we can eat anywhere.As long as we disperse the army and grab the food, it won't take long for Shen Shuren to be unable to sit still and go out of the city to fight.Otherwise he will starve to death this winter! "

Liu Xiyao was furious: "Fart! How can these dog officials starve to death? Which dog officials and rich families in the world have not hoarded enough food for several years! Every time there is a famine, it is the poor who starve to death! These dog officials also take the opportunity to get food Defrauding the only remaining fields of the poor!

In normal times, it would be fine to grab some money and food, but this time, what I want is the head of Shen Gouguan!Avenge the bear! "

Niu Zi was all scolded, and he could only respond in silence.Your Majesty's request this time is very clear, it's not about robbing things or winning battles, it's about keeping an eye on Shen Shuren's dog's life, so there's no way to bypass the siege.

If Shen Shuren loves the people like a son, he may indeed be forced out to fight in the field by all kinds of remnants imagined by Niu Ziquan.

But the problem is that Niu Zi doesn't know what kind of person Shen Shuren is. Using common sense, he obviously thinks that Shen Shuren doesn't care about the life and death of ordinary poor people.

The vast majority of dog officials don't care about the people.

Niu Ziquan was distracted, so he had no choice but to try his best to save the game. After racking his brains, he came up with another plan: "My lord, even if it is necessary to attack the city, it is impossible to attack by force——

Your Majesty, didn't you send espionage officers to Qizhou last time, and wanted to use the Shengou officer to recruit soldiers and sneak into the Huangzhou regiment for training.I remember that even though he failed that time, there was still Xi Zuo who escaped back, and seemed to have contacted the noble gentry in Qizhou who refused to accept Shen Shuren.This time, I can only find a way to send people into the city to contact Nei Ying to deceive the city gate.

If this plan doesn't work, think of another way, but the action must be fast, the news that our army has arrived at Huangjiakou Town will definitely be known by Shen Gouguan soon.This strategy will have to be implemented within a day or two. "

When Liu Xiyao saw that his subordinates had given him a plan, he was a little calmer: "You arrange everything yourself! I only want Officer Shen's dog's head to pay homage to Xiong'er!"
