Chapter 1601 Chapter 1603 [One wave is not flat, another wave rises again]

   "This matter must be kept secret, and no one is allowed to spread it." After the quartermaster left, Liu Jin immediately ordered.

   Now the morale of the soldiers has fallen to the bottom. If they know that the food has been robbed, they may not be able to eat in the next day or two, then the soldiers must rebel.

  The subordinates obeyed the orders one by one.

  However, as the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Soon, the story of the robbery of the grain truck spread among the soldiers, which further affected morale.

   As a result, at night, there was a large-scale desertion phenomenon again.

  Liu Jin was also on guard against this, and ordered the supervising team to take care of all checkpoints.

  Anyone who dares to go down the mountain without permission will be killed immediately.

   Unexpectedly, this would cause the battalion to scream, and the soldiers were in chaos and killed each other.

  Seeing this, Liu Jin was also shocked.

  Since ancient times, once a tsunami occurs, if it is not subsided in time, it will cause extremely serious consequences.

   Just in time for this dispatch of troops, all the eight major deputy swordsmen were killed in battle, resulting in a vacuum in the middle of the army.

  Although Liu Jin accepted her appointment as the temporary Deputy Sword Commander, she lacked ability and limited reputation after all, and did not win the approval of the soldiers.

  So when these temporary deputy commanders went to suppress the soldiers, intending to restore the chaotic order to normal, no one listened to them at all.

   Instead, the red-eyed people all attacked them. Several deputy swordsmen were chopped into meat sauce, and parents couldn't recognize them.

   "Eunuch, this place is dangerous, you can't stay for long, let's withdraw." Liu Jin's bodyguard captain asked for instructions.

  If the Ying Xiao continues to spread, even they may not be able to protect Liu Jin's safety.

   "It's definitely not feasible." Liu Jin immediately waved his hands and said, "It's so easy to attack here, how can we give up halfway. Our family will stay here, and I will see who dares to offend."

   Just as he was talking, several people rushed over and were killed by the personal guards.

   Their kung fu is better and their cooperation is more tacit. And if anyone's food is short, theirs will not be short, so their physical strength is still relatively abundant, and naturally they are more lethal.

   This deterred many people, making them afraid to approach Shuaiying again. But far away from Shuaiying, the camp roaring continued.

  …

   It was not until the early morning hours that the camp roar gradually subsided as the sky brightened.

   I saw dead bodies everywhere, wounded everywhere, and very few who could still stand.

  At the last point, more than 2,000 people died, and hundreds of people should have fled down the mountain. Only 3,000 people are still alive. And most of them are injured.

   Seeing this, Liu Jin couldn't help but his eyes turned red with anger.

   Unexpectedly, when an army of 10,000 attacked the mountain, most of them were killed or injured before even reaching the top of the mountain.

-

   These are the soldiers he recruited and trained hard, and he planned to use them to conquer the world and live the addiction of being an emperor. No one expected that there would be such a big loss on this inconspicuous mountain.

   At this moment, Ye Bu received the report.

  A group of rebels invaded the county seat of Songxian County, killed the county magistrate, county magistrate, and master book, and robbed tens of thousands of taels of official silver in the treasury, causing heavy losses.

  It turns out that the county magistrate of Song County was also supported by Liu Jin. This time, he sent most of the soldiers in the county to transport food to Liu Jin. As a result, the county was left empty and defenseless.

   Because of this, he was attacked into the city, pulled out of the Yamen, dragged to the street, and killed on the spot. He even ransacked the treasury and lost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

   "This...damn it!" Hearing this news, Liu Jin couldn't help but blacken his eyes.

   Unexpectedly, before Taijimen was wiped out, there would be new rebels. This is really a wave of ups and downs, and another wave.

   "Elder-in-law, according to my humble opinion, if we continue to fight, there is no certainty of victory. It is better to retreat for the time being and wait for the future." The captain of the personal guard persuaded.

   They only had 3,000 wounded soldiers left, and it would be useless if they continued to attack. Even if you fight to the last soldier, you can never reach the top of the mountain. That being the case, it is better to withdraw troops.

   Otherwise, if you continue to stay here, other places will be in chaos. At that time, even if Laojun Temple is taken down, and the rest of the place is full of rebels, it will not be considered a success.

   Liu Jin thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

  The last time the stone forest plank road was built, more than a thousand people were killed or injured along the 300-meter road. And this sky road is longer than the stone forest plank road, even if it is filled with 10,000 people, it may not be able to attack it. That being the case, if a hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, let's forget it.

  …

   Liu Jin then announced the withdrawal of troops, and the squad returned to camp. But he was still stationed at the foot of the mountain with a team of 1,500 people. Prepare to use the tactic of encircling but not fighting to trap Xiang Nan and others to death on the mountain.

  Knowing that Liu Jin had actually withdrawn from the army, everyone in the Tai Chi Sect felt a little inconceivable.

  Because they had prepared for the worst, they not only moved away the food, gold, silver, soft goods, etc., but also buried explosives in the Sanqing Hall, preparing to blow them up with a fire, so as not to be taken advantage of by the eunuchs.

   But he didn't expect that his 10,000 troops would withdraw just like that.

   "Master, you are really good~" Deng Changdu said with admiration.

  10,000 troops are enough to fight for world supremacy, but I didn't expect that they didn't even take down Laojun Mountain. What a waste.

  Xiang Nan smiled, feeling a little unbelievable.

   After all, there are thousands of people, and the sky is full of bullshit. There are tens of thousands of people, and there are no boundaries. The army of tens of thousands of people did not take advantage of his Laojun Mountain, but more than half of them were killed or injured. It is really surprising.

   But thinking about it carefully, he smiled again.

  Actually, it's all because Liu Jin doesn't know how to use soldiers.

   There is a saying in the art of war, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

  Liu Jin knew almost nothing about Tai Chi Gate, and he had no concept of the terrain of Laojun Mountain, so he drove an army of tens of thousands to attack the mountain, but naturally he couldn't get any good results.

  If it were him, even if he wanted to destroy Taijimen, he would never be so reckless. Definitely send people to investigate the terrain first, and if possible, they will also place undercover agents for support.

  And the attack will not be so fanfare, but to send elites to sneak attacks at night, take advantage of people's unpreparedness, and cooperate with the inside and outside to achieve success. Just like in "Lin Haixueyuan", the bandit suppression team wiped out Weihu Mountain.

  Of course, Liu Jin cannot be blamed for his incompetence.

   After all, he is not a scholar. He was born in poverty. Because he was poor, he couldn't bear it, so he worshiped the **** as his godfather, and entered the palace cleanly. Naturally, he had no knowledge, let alone the art of war.

   In addition, he only gained power after Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne. However, Zhengde has not succeeded to the throne for less than five years, and he has not yet organized his own think tank. Therefore, there is a lack of military advisers under his command, so naturally he runs into walls everywhere.

  In comparison, although Xiang Nan doesn't understand military affairs, he has the right time, place and people, so it's not surprising that he won.

   "Okay, don't be careless." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "It's not the time for Ma Fang Nanshan, Liu Jin may come back at any time, we still have to be careful."

  Everyone nodded when they heard this.
