Chapter 236: Gathering Troops Again
But the current problem is that the siege vehicles have been breached, immediately, Lou Lan ordered the whole army to be a thousand meters back, set up camp, and at the same time repair a book, and ordered the scouts to send back to Daqi, the main thing in the envelope is that the new dynasty is cunning, hoping to increase the number of troops and siege vehicles.
In the short term, the supply will not arrive, so in the past few days, there has been no war, but the strength of the new dynasty has not weakened in the slightest, the city wall is still heavily guarded, and from time to time Zhang Wushu will come to inspect it in person, as for the original crumbling city gate, Zhang Wushu has also ordered someone to repair and strengthen it.
At the same time, on the prairie of Tibet, the west wind is blowing, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, Gao Chun and Zhuge Jin are drinking mare's milk wine in the yurt, completely unaware that the war has started again outside, and the situation is still very grim. After a pause, Zhuge Jin stuffed the remaining piece of shredded beef directly into his mouth, chewed it a few times before saying, "It's delicious! General Gao, how many soldiers have been recruited now?"
Gao Chun took a sip of wine and said, "There are already 200,000 people who have signed up. 40,000 times more than we expected. This was not enough, the soldiers who had already been chosen had to tell their friends and relatives the good news, and other nomadic warriors were rushing towards them. ”
After a pause, Zhuge Jin said: "This is not good, 100,000 people is the highest bottom line, and we can only afford the military salary of 100,000 people." In this case, the order was withdrawn, and they were told that we could only accept 100,000 people, and let them decide for themselves. In this way, there will definitely be people who propose a competition to decide the winner, and then the idea of letting them survive the fittest be put into practice?"
Gao Chun nodded: "Okay, after eating, let's go and take off the merit order." After eating, the two came to the crossroads, and found that there was still a crowd in front of the Talent Seeking Order, and it was difficult to see the situation inside even if they were very tall from the outside.
Seeing this, when Gao Chun glanced at the soldiers next to him, the soldiers immediately knew what Gao Chun meant, and hurriedly used the red tassel gun to push the people in front of the Qiu Xian Ling to the back. Then, Gao Chun took a turn and walked over, and without saying anything, he directly tore off the order to seek talent.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, obviously don't understand the meaning of Gao Chun's approach, paused, Gao Chun saw that everyone was staring at him, and he also understood something in his heart, and even said: "Everyone, this recruitment, my new dynasty only recruits 100,000 soldiers. If there are more, the new dynasty will not be able to pay military salaries, and I believe that no one wants to join the army without military salaries. However, the number of applicants has now exceeded 200,000, so General Ben decided to adopt the survival of the fittest system, and in the end the new dynasty could only select 100,000 people. ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I can't tell what kind of expression it is, and it took a long time for someone to come forward and say: "If this is the case, then what kind of competition is the survival of the fittest?"
Gao Chun nodded: "Naturally, it's a competition, but we're not a one-on-one competition, after all, we are an army, and what we are examining is the comprehensive combat effectiveness of an army." Tell each other that tomorrow morning the two hundred men will be divided into two hundred thousands, and each of the thousands, and each of the thousands, will elect a commander to lead, and the thousand-men will fight with each other. As for how to form a team, you can just ask for it, and there are no clear rules on this. ”
After hearing this, everyone had a look of sudden realization on their faces, and then they all dispersed. The next morning, just as Gao Chun had planned, two hundred thousand people gathered on the endless prairie, and Gao Chun stood on the commanding heights, unable to see the end of the two hundred thousand people.
Gao Chun nodded, and said loudly: "One hundred thousand people and another hundred thousand people will fight against each other, and this morning, all the thousand groups must be divided into winners and losers, and when the time comes, no matter whether the winner enters the army, the loser will be given fifty wen of silver each." Do you understand?"
"Understood!" 200,000 people shouted in unison, and the voices of the warriors on the grassland were already strong, so the sound was so loud that even the birds flying in the air were frightened and fell down.
Gao Chun simply liked this feeling of high morale, and when he saw that his morale was high, he himself shouted: "Okay! That general doesn't say much, let's start!" Suddenly, the mighty hundred thousand people separated and stood opposite the remaining thousand people.
After the morning passed, the results of victory and defeat were also answered, and immediately, Gao Chun kept his promise and ordered the scouts to return to the new dynasty to ask for their lives, and give each of them fifty yuan. As for the remaining 100,000 people, it can be regarded as becoming an official new dynasty army, but for Zhang Wuxian, it is still impossible to bring them out to the battlefield to fight, although these people are strong, but they are also personal strength, and they still need to be trained for three days. If it is pulled directly to the battlefield, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses.
At the same time, the letter sent by Lou Lan arrived in Qi Le's hands, and after Qi Le read it, even if he angrily kept the letter in his hand, the rest of the monarchs were also in Qi Le's study at this time, seeing that Qi Le was very angry, he said: "What's the matter, Your Majesty, has you already won the new dynasty?"
After Qi Le heard this, he immediately killed him with a look: "Look at my eyes, it looks like you have already won the new dynasty? Besides, your question seems to be a bit excessive, right? When you sent troops, only the number of troops sent by your Hongxiangguo was the smallest, and now that our army has been defeated, I didn't expect it to be you Hongxiangguo again, hum." ”
When the rest of the countries heard about the defeat, their faces were full of disbelief, you look at me, I look at you, and finally put their eyes on Qi Le. After a pause, Qi Le continued: "The letter said that our army suffered 50,000 casualties in the first battle and 30,000 casualties in the siege battle. The original army of 250,000 is now only 170,000. Since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, have you ever fought such a defeat, eh?" Qi Le became angry as he spoke.
Seeing this, the Tubo monarch said solemnly: "It must be that Loulan does not have a certain strategy, and my Tubo warriors are all one against ten, and there must be no one among the 50,000 soldiers." Your Majesty, you say, what should I do?"
Qi Le sneered, then glanced at everyone again, and said: "Everyone, there should be some hatred with the new dynasty now, right? Although the first to send troops was because they had to go, but now you see, the new dynasty killed your soldiers, it is really too much, if you don't do your best to destroy it, how can you say that the world is peaceful and prosperous?"
Of course, Qi Le's purpose is not to be peaceful and prosperous, his plan is to first use the hands of these countries to destroy the new dynasty, and then destroy the Tubo Red Xiangguo, and then Qi Le himself will have a world unification like Qin Shi Huang.
Everyone knows that Qi Le wants to peel off everyone's skin again, and the Tubo monarch is still as shrewd as ever, although he is the first to respond every time, but he knows in his heart that the more he needs to cut the meat in the future, the bigger the meat. Immediately, the Tibetan monarch hurriedly shouted: "I will send 50,000 warriors! Although it is not much, it is the main force of my Tibetan army." In addition, I will order people to bring twenty siege engines and fifty trebuchets. ”
After hearing this, Qi Le nodded and praised: "Your Majesty is so wise! You have already sent out 100,000 people before, and now you can even send 50,000, I seem to have a lot of them, not to mention siege engines and trebuchets. When the time comes, after the new dynasty is defeated, I will give you half of the land and half of the wealth. ”
The Tibetan monarch smiled and nodded, but in his heart he was thinking about how much half of the new dynasty was, and how much money he had paid. After the Tibetan monarch finished speaking, the monarch sitting next to him couldn't help it, and even said: "Grandma, does the new dynasty really think that there is no one in the world? I will send another 60,000! At the same time, three siege engines and five trebuchets will be dispatched!"
The rest of the monarchs have increased their bargaining chips, but they are also twenty or thirty thousand, and none of them can compare to the magnanimity of Tibet. As everyone knows, the Tibetan monarch is not called magnanimity, this is called survival instinct, after all, he also hopes that he can live for a while longer.
In the end, the one who hadn't spoken was the monarch of the Red Phase. Qi Le looked at him and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this, is it possible that you think that among the 50,000 people killed, there are no soldiers from your Red Xiangguo?"
Qi Le had just finished saying this, and he didn't know who said it: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, his thousands of soldiers are among the 50,000 people." ”
The monarch of the Red Xiang Kingdom still just smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty, I have made it very clear before, from the beginning to the end, my Red Xiang Kingdom will only send these thousands of people, and I will not take anything you have laid down, it is purely to do my duty. But the emperor choked me again and again, so there was no point in me waiting for Daqi. Besides, yesterday the dog sent a letter, saying that the Red Xiangguo had encountered some trouble and needed me to solve it, so I would not accompany the major matters here. ”
With that, the monarch of the Red Phase-Nation turned around and was about to leave. Even if Qi Ledang slapped the table and stood up, he didn't stop the monarch of the Red Xiangguo country, but stared at the monarch of the Hongxiang country and walked to the door and was stopped by the soldiers.
The monarch of the Red Phase-Nation turned his head, frowned slightly, looked at Qi Le and said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this, is it possible that you don't plan to let me leave?"
Qi Le smiled: "What did the emperor say, we are all allies, how can we not let the emperor leave." It's just that I feel that the emperor has made a great contribution to this alliance to attack the new dynasty, but I haven't had time to thank the emperor before leaving, I feel that it is a little inappropriate, what do you think, emperor?"
Hong Xiangguo snorted coldly: "I think it's quite suitable." With that, the monarch of the Red Phase-Nation directly opened and rushed away the two crossed red tassel spears in front of him. Seeing this, the two soldiers hurriedly picked up the red tassel spear and stabbed at the monarch of the Red Phase.
