"Is that paper?" Hu Wan's eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people. He soon discovered that what the soldiers were snatching were pieces of white paper. It's no wonder that such rare things as ** happen in the camp are not seen every day.
However, he also understood that the other party could not give them paper in vain. Even in the big city of Jinzhou, only scholars with decent family backgrounds could afford this kind of writing paper. "Go get some and show them to me."
In fact, someone had already done it before he could arrange it.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, a guard quickly came to Hu Wan with a stack of paper. Not only that, the main generals of several armies also gathered here, apparently just for this matter.
Hu Wan took the white paper and turned it over, his mind suddenly buzzing. This was clearly a method used by the enemy to deceive the soldiers' morale! The family is looking forward to the return of the soldiers, and the children are chanting their father's name. The words are very simple and easy to understand, as if they are directed at ordinary soldiers.
"Master Hu, there are people in the camp who even sang songs!" Someone else reported.
"What song is it?"
"It seems to be a local folk song in Shenzhou, a song used to soothe the wanderers from far away."
"Sir, look at this, they actually included a painting! The content is extremely extreme." A general thought hard for a moment before finding the right adjective, "Shameful!"
Hu Wan took the painting and felt a chill in his heart. With just a few strokes on the paper, he sketched out three portraits. Among them, the one holding a spear in the distance was a soldier, the middle one was a woman seeing him off, and the one closest to the left was He is a rough man who watches women. The composition of large and small near and far gives people an immersive and realistic feeling. This is the first time he has seen such a painting technique. Moreover, the artist's few strokes clearly summarized the characteristics of the three people, and their purpose is so clear that even an illiterate person can see the artistic conception in the painting at a glance.
The problem is that this is not fiction.
What will happen if the mainstay of the family is gone is what worries the soldiers, but everyone usually understands it tacitly and doesn't want to think about it in detail. If someone takes the initiative to uncover this scar,
"Pass my order to immediately close the camp and collect all the distributed papers!" Hu Wan shouted, "Anyone who hides papers or publicizes their contents will be killed without mercy!"
At the same time, he felt bitter in his heart, why did Jinxia choose this time! The salary he originally used to boost morale now seemed like a kind of hush money. Although it also has a comforting effect, in a sense it seems to be confirming the other party's propaganda.
He looked at the generals and said, "Tonight's camp must be readjusted to separate the Shenzhou Army, and you must strengthen your defenses to avoid camp roars."
"Yes." Everyone looked solemn. If a group riot really happened, the battle would be over without even starting a fight.
That night, the lights in each camp were brightly lit. The generals not only increased the number of light sources in the camp to several times the usual number, but also added additional patrol teams to patrol and inspect the camps. If any conversation or crying was found, they would immediately extinguish them. It was in the germination stage, but even so, it still couldn't stop the news from spreading rapidly among the Shenzhou Army.
Once the idea that someone was waiting for them to return safely was born, it was difficult to erase it.
The next day, Hu Wan thought again and again and decided to place the Shenzhou Army at the forefront of the large army.
He thought clearly that this would indeed increase the desire of some people in the army to escape, but that was better than being in the rear and cutting off their own retreat. Even if they are defeated by the Jinxia Army, they can still retreat all the way to the west, but if the Shenzhou Army behind them changes sides, the situation will be extremely dangerous.
However, this time, Jin Xia did not choose to wait until nightfall before taking action.
The early morning sun had just risen in the sky when the scouts discovered the traces of the Jinxia Army. A force of 5,000 men appeared in the southern suburbs of the army and continued to approach the army.
At this time, the frontier army had just moved out and had not entered the siege range of Baihe City. However, the distance was neither long nor short. If they kept marching normally, they could reach the city in half an hour.
"Who gave them the courage to send so many people out of the city to fight in the field?" Hu Wan was a little unbelievable when he got the news. What kind of strategy was the Jinxia Army doing? At this time, instead of defending the fortified city, she came to cause trouble for them. Does the princess know how many people she has under her command
The previous battles were all night battles, and the situation between the enemy and ourselves was unclear. Coupled with the dispersion of troops in various states, it finally led to a major defeat. But the Privy Council Army gradually figured out the number of left-leg troops active in the south of Jiujiang. They could not exceed ten thousand at most, and the five thousand troops in front of them were definitely the main force of the three princesses!
This means that White River City is in a defensive void!
He now has several options. One is to send a cavalry force to contain the main force of the princess, and the large force attacks the city first, at least forcing the enemy to the point where they cannot return. The second is to fake siege and actual encirclement and annihilation, luring the opponent over and then encircling them. The third is to take the initiative to pursue this force, and at the same time notify the Chinese army to send a reinforcement force to occupy Baihe City. The last one among the three was obviously the best choice, but he was really not sure whether the Chinese army would agree to this plan. After discussing it with the generals, Huwan finally decided to be on the safe side and choose option one to capture Baihe. Let’s talk about the city.
At this moment, the figure of the Dragon of the West Pole appeared again on the horizon.
"Are they trying to do the same thing again?" A general frowned.
"During the march, noisy conversations are allowed. Sprinkling paper at this time will have no effect." Hu Wan shook his head, "They should also know this, so we only need to deal with the demonic dragon magic and the Nine Heavens Thunder. Pass on the order , get ready to draw thunder.”
Suddenly, a loud and distant singing sound came from the sky.
Hu Wan couldn't help but be stunned. In an instant, he seemed to see the osmanthus tree in front of his hometown, and in front of the tree trunk stood his parents who had passed away, as well as his wife and daughter who died at the hands of the imperial court.
An uncontrollable sour feeling suddenly welled up in my heart!
Oops, there's something wrong with the singing. He opened his mouth to give an order, but his words were disrupted by surging emotions several times.
Is this a trick
But his will did not show any resistance, as if his whole body was integrated into the singing.
Not only the Shenjin coalition was affected, but also Olina carrying Chi.
This was obviously a local song from Shenzhou and had nothing to do with the Holy Wing Islands, thousands of miles away, but she felt her nose was sore and something was about to come out of her eyes.
She thought of her brother, the former castle, and the people, cattle and sheep in the fields. How long has it been since she came home for a visit? Does your brother still remember her appearance
For a moment, Olina wanted to return to the islands immediately and hug her family members who were still alive.
As the sadness in the song grew stronger, she couldn't hold it back any longer and cried out.
And this cry was like a floodgate that opened, breaking the few remaining restraints in the hearts of the soldiers, causing the Shenzhou army on the ground to instantly explode.
