Chapter 426 Anxi's Shock (Part 2)
During the day, the coach and the soldiers confronted silently. Afterwards, although the generals suppressed the tough rush, the soldiers returned to the camp one after another.
However, returning to the camp does not mean that the conflict has been resolved. It will only continue to accumulate in the hearts of the soldiers. Pei Zhounan does not know how to manage the army. He is a literati himself. He actually looks down on the warriors from the bottom of his heart and is indifferent to the interests that the soldiers value.
Compared with Gu Qing's relaxation and relaxation when he was the governor of the army, the soldiers were happy. Although they worked hard every day, they had at least a chance to change their destiny. With this comparison, the soldiers felt uneasy.
Most of the Anxi army Pei Zhounan had no good impression. When Chen Shufeng took Anxi soldiers, he killed two seriously injured. Although it was not Pei Zhounan's order, Chen Shufeng was brought by Pei Zhounan from Chang'an, so the account was also settled on Pei Zhounan.
How could the soldiers have a good impression of him when a literati who killed his chariot became his commander?
However, after today's confrontation, the soldiers had another thought.
Pei Zhounan did not understand soldiers, and similarly, soldiers did not understand scholars, and did not know what the literati were. Today, the two sides confronted each other and almost mutiny. If Pei Zhounan held a grudge, the days of Anxi Army would be difficult. Maybe they would lock them one by one and settle the accounts one by one. At that time, they would be labeled as inciting mutiny. Who can resist?
Tonight, many soldiers in Anxi Camp were sleepless all night. They were worried that they would be liquidated by Pei Zhounan afterwards.
The night was so long, and the soldiers gradually fell asleep.
It was about the ugliness, and it was the third update of the night, and tens of thousands of soldiers were sleeping. A shrill roar suddenly came from a tent in the rear camp of the Anxi Army. The roar was sharp, like a fight between gold and iron, or like a trapped beast crying blood, and the sounds piercing people's hearts.
The patrolmen were shocked and hurriedly followed the direction of the sound. The sleeping soldiers were awakened by the shrill sound, and then lights were lit in the camp tents.
The shrill roar continued, and torches were lit everywhere in the camp, and many soldiers in the camp rushed out, looking at the panic-run robes outside in confusion.
The shrill voice did not stop. Soon a figure popped up from a tent and ran out with a roar. He was shirtless and snatched a horizontal knife in his hand. His expression was lost, his eyes were filled with blood-red light, and his appearance was very terrifying.
The robes in the same camp wanted to stop him, but he cut them over with a knife, but the robes did not dare to let him go.
A team of patrol soldiers rushed over, and the sergeant behind pointed at the roaring person and shouted: "Stop him, he's crazy!"
The patrol soldiers were as if they were facing a great enemy, and their eyes suddenly became cold. They lined up in a row with tacit understanding, raising their long spears toward the crazy robe.
The sergeant holding a horizontal sword was still as if he was unaware of it, his eyes were red and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. When he saw someone blocking him, he didn't care about anyone, and he slashed him over without thinking.
The soldiers of the patrol camp retreated together, avoided the blade, and then stepped forward in a unified manner. The head-in-chief looked cold and shouted: "Kill!"
A dozen long spears stabbed out one after another, hitting the crazy soldier's chest. The soldier's eyes returned to clearness. However, his life passed away. His lips stumbled a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end his body shook and fell to the ground and died.
The soldiers who were patrolling the camp breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
However, this breath was too early.
Recently, the atmosphere in Anxi Camp has been very depressing. Today, I confronted Pei Zhounan for a while. The soldiers were worried when they fell asleep, fearing that Pei Zhounan would be retaliated against. Just now, another robe went crazy and killed someone and was killed by the soldiers of the patrol camp on the spot...
All kinds of negative events gradually accumulate together, and it is finally impossible to curb at this moment.
Just after the crazy soldier was killed, he heard the same shrill roars coming from several places in the camp at the same time.
Then the roar became louder and louder, accompanied by waves of curses, muffled groans, and metal-iron striking each other, and the entire camp was immediately in chaos.
The soldiers patrolling the camp looked pale, and a fire chief pulled a soldier over and said in a tiny voice: "Go to the coach's tent quickly and report to the coach Pei Jie, Anxi Army... The camp roared!"
At the same time, Chang Zhong, Li Siye, Chen Tian and other generals who heard the movement had already been awakened. They walked out of the tent and stood on tiptoe to look in the direction of the rear army. Seeing that the rear army camp was brightly lit and noisy, the generals Chang Zhong and other generals suddenly changed their faces.
The few people had gathered together and looked at each other.
Chang Zhong said in a deep voice: "I don't know what happened to the rear army, so I didn't see the soldiers of the patrol camp coming to report..."
Li Siye said with a serious expression: "This messy movement must be a disaster, and there has been a major change in the Anxi Army!"
Chang Zhong said with a calm face and said, "There are only two possibilities, one is mutiny, the other is deliberate rebellion..."
Li Siye said slowly: "There is another possibility,... Yingxiao."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone changed their faces.
Yingxiao, also known as "Blasting Camp", the most feared generals who have led troops throughout history are Yingxiao.
Most of the cases of Yingxiao occurring are that the soldiers are under too much psychological pressure or have nightmares and scream unconsciously.
Don’t underestimate the screams. The military camp is a place where groups live. A person’s intense reaction often leads to collective aberrations in a group. In psychology, it is called the herd effect. Like a plague, one spreads ten, ten spreads hundreds, and it will soon spread throughout the camp.
People who roar in the camp are usually unconscious and have a strong sense of attack. After rushing out of the camp, they don’t recognize their relatives like madmen and kill them when they see them. In his eyes, the robes of the past have become enemies.
If there are more than a dozen camps in a large camp at the same time, the situation will be difficult to control.
It is not just about killing a dozen madmen, but the roar is like a plague and is particularly easy to contagious. After being influenced by the madmen next to him, normal soldiers will soon fall into madness, especially in the camp where the head coach adopts a high-pressure policy against the soldiers. The soldiers are under a lot of psychological pressure and their emotions are easily affected.
Now, Anxi Camp is in a similar situation.
"It's not Yingxiao, right? That's going to be troublesome!" Chen Tian murmured as he stared at the back army.
As he said that, Chen Tian's eyes quickly swept across Chang Zhong and Li Siye, turned to look at the direction of the coach, and approached the two of them and whispered: "Uh, this movement tonight... Could it be that the two of them were fabricated? It's a big joke!"
Chang Zhong and Li Siye glanced at him with an ugly look.
Chang Zhong sighed and said, "When Mr. Gu left, he ordered us to do something at the right time. I am planning and planning to... attack the thousand-person cavalry team, but I am still planning to this day. The movement tonight really has nothing to do with me."
Li Siye also nodded and said, "It's not me who did it."
Chen Tian's face finally looked as ugly as the two of them, and he murmured: "Is it really a roar?"
The lights lit up in the coach's tent behind him. Pei Zhounan, who was disheveled, rushed out of the coach's tent and stared at the direction of the back army with a terrifying look on his face.
At this time, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from the front. A soldier from the patrol camp appeared in a panic in front of everyone. Before he could salute, he shouted shrillly: "Report to the coach Pei Jie, the military camp is roaring! The soldiers are killing each other like crazy."
Pei Zhounan was stunned and stood there as if he had lost his soul. He had not responded for a long time.
The generals were shocked. Seeing Pei Zhounan's silenceless appearance, Chang Zhong couldn't help but snorted with contempt and immediately took over the command without hesitation.
"Shentian, dispatch your cavalry immediately to line up to isolate the connection between the rear and the central army, and prevent them from rushing out!"
Chen Tian hurriedly left with his fists.
"Li Siye, your Modao Camp is in the middle. If Shentian's soldiers can't stop you..." Chang Zhong paused, his cheeks twitched violently, and he said fiercely: "You ordered Modao Camp to kill. In short, you must not let them rush into the central army, otherwise it will be all over!"
Li Siye left with a gloomy face and clasped his fists.
"Where is Liu Hongbo? Immediately, your united troops are arranged to enter the rear military camp, divide and surround, and eliminate the soldiers who are in the camp one by one."
Liu Hongbo responded loudly.
Chang Zhong stood up straight and shouted: "All generals are restraining their generals. They are absolutely not allowed to leave the tent. Violators will be killed immediately!"
"Collection of all the things in the camp that can make sounds, big drums, gongs, iron basins, weapons, and hit them hard near the rear army fence. The louder the better. Faster!"
After a series of orders were issued, Chang Zhong turned around and left, ignoring the distraught Pei Zhounan behind him.
After all the generals left after executing Chang Zhong's military orders, Pei Zhounan finally came to his senses, his legs fell to the ground, and his eyes looked up at the night sky with despair.
The Anxi military camp will surely be a shocking event that shocked the Tang Dynasty.
His plan to transform the Anxi Army, his political future, and His Majesty's instructions to him were completely disappointed at this moment.
…………
In the 14th month of Tianbao, less than a month after the rebellion, An Lushan's rebels conquered Xiangzhou, Luzhou and Fenzhou. Without any suspense, the local military generals defending the city were easily captured by the rebels, and then the rebels entered the city to burn, kill and loot.
The rebels had no military discipline, and even An Lushan acquiesced to the soldiers who massacre the city for three days every time they broke a city, and plundered their troops to loot their property. This has become the reward An Lushan promised to the rebels.
No one of the rebel soldiers who were red-eyed would refuse such an attractive reward.
On the ninth day of the third month, the rebels crossed the Yellow River and the vanguard arrived straight to Chenliu County.
Henan Jiedushi Zhang Jieran guarded Chenliu, but was outnumbered. In less than two days, Chenliu County was broken. Zhang Jieran committed suicide when the city was broken. Chenliu Prefect Guo Nakaicheng surrendered to the rebels.
After the rebels entered the city, they cut off Zhang Jieran's head and spread his head throughout Zhucheng, Hebei. The officials, soldiers and civilians north of the Yellow River were shocked and did not dare to resist the rebel's military power.
After defeating Chenliu, the rebels continued to advance westward and headed towards Chang'an City.
When the vanguard arrived in Puzhou, the rebels finally encountered a tough problem.
Because the officials guarding the city in Puzhou were both wise and brave, and their names were An Chongzhang. After the Anshi Rebellion, they were given the surname Li, so they changed their name to Li Baoyu.
