Qi Yuangong looked at Sun Chuanting with a strange expression on his face. He couldn't tell what he felt, so he simply didn't say anything.
So he changed the subject, looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "Then, sir, what should I do next?"
Sun Chuanting looked at Qi Yuangong and said expressionlessly, "Have your men supervise the battle from behind. When the siege begins, your men will be at the rear. Anyone who shrinks back will be killed without mercy. Anyone who disobeys orders and attacks will be killed without mercy. Anyone who dares to turn around and flee will be killed without mercy!"
Hearing the cold words of killing without mercy from Sun Chuanting, Qi Yuangong said helplessly, "Yes, sir."
Seeing Qi Yuangong hesitated to speak, Sun Chuanting glanced at him and said directly, "Do you think I'm a little cruel?"
"These people were formed late and have little training. Asking them to attack Luzhou City was already a difficult task, and now they are being treated like this, killing anyone who disobeys without mercy?"
Qi Yuangong was silent. He looked at the Luzhou City in front of him without saying anything, but his meaning was very clear, that is, Sun Chuanting was right.
Sun Chuanting pointed at the people behind him and said disdainfully, "Who are they?"
"Almost all of them are rebels, bandits, and vagrants. The best of them are mountain dwellers, but there are only a few of them. They have done so many evil things that they want to transform themselves into officers and soldiers. How can such a good thing happen in the world?"
"If I hadn't been short on manpower, I wouldn't have used them. But if I were to use them, I'd have to decide how to use them. In other words, only those who survive would be qualified."
Sun Chuanting's tone was icy. He didn't even turn around to look at those people. He just looked at Qi Yuangong and said without any emotion: "I want them to fight for me and eliminate the rebels. If they can't even do this, then there is no point in them living."
After saying this, Sun Chuanting turned around to arrange the siege.
Before leaving, Sun Chuanting said to Qi Yuangong: "I will leave the task of supervising the battle to you. Tell your men not to show mercy."
"Yes, sir." Qi Yuangong bowed quickly and said.
Looking at Sun Chuanting's leaving back, Qi Yuangong breathed a sigh of relief.
The pressure just now was really great. This Lord Sun is really cruel and ruthless.
I originally thought that Master Sun was a very easygoing person, as he was always smiling. He was also smiling when he was recruiting those people.
But who would have thought that he would turn against them so suddenly, not only treating the rebels as worthless, but even his capable generals were treated as worthless by Lord Sun.
Qi Yuangong thought with lingering fear that it might be because he was the emperor's man, otherwise he would never have received such good treatment.
After Qi Yuangong breathed a sigh of relief, he turned around to arrange for the battle. His men were still capable of handling this task. As for not being able to do it, that was even more impossible.
On top of the city wall of Luzhou.
She Yin stood on the battlement at the top of the wall, gazing at the army in the distance. His face was expressionless, his hand pressing the long sword at his waist.
Beside She Yin were his generals, the most conspicuous of whom was Fan Hu.
After Fan Long left the city, Fan Hu became She Yin's confidant.
"General Fan, do you think we have a chance of winning if we strike them while they are still unstable?" She Yin turned and looked at Fan Hu and asked.
After hearing She Yin's words, Fan Hu's expression remained unchanged. Looking at the chaotic Ming army below the city wall, who seemed to have not yet organized their troops, he was also thinking rapidly in his mind.
After arriving, the Ming army rested for an hour before swaying to their feet. They looked like they were assembling their troops, preparing to attack the city.
For Fan Hu, going down there to do something was not something he wanted to do. The reason was simple: it was too dangerous.
If they really need to go down and do something, who will She Yin let go?
There is probably no one else except Fan Hu.
Even if these Ming troops are not elite, look at their number. If this person continues to charge forward like this, he may never come back. It would be a loss.
In Fan Hu's opinion, isn't it good to just stay here?
But Fan Hu also understood She Yin. He had been aroused by his words yesterday and was thinking about how to destroy the Ming army under the city and then how to counterattack all the way to Guizhou.
Once the ambition in a person's heart is ignited, it is really difficult to extinguish it.
Fan Hu looked at the Ming army below the city and said in a cold voice, "Young Master, as the saying goes, the first attack is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted. The Ming army did not attack the city directly when they arrived, but rested for an hour. This has already lost its momentum."
"If they are repelled this time, it will be the second decline. If they attack the city twice in a row with no results and suffer heavy casualties, it will be the third decline."
"That will be our perfect opportunity to counterattack. Under attack from both inside and outside, the Ming army will inevitably suffer a crushing defeat.
Listening to Fan Hu's words, She Yin pondered for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying, "General, what you said makes sense. Let's do as you say."
At the same time, the Ming army under the city began to slowly approach the top of the city.
Qi Yuangong personally led the people of the Tiger Roar Camp to supervise the battle. These people had already loaded bullets into their muskets and were all pointing them forward.
Once someone retreats and runs back, he will be beaten into a sieve.
The people ahead already knew about this, and there was a supervisory team behind them. Some were angry, some were unwilling, and some didn't care, but no one dared to turn around and say they would quit.
Why not?
Because anyone who dares to say that will probably lose his head the next moment.
