Chapter 385: Thinking about countermeasures
Winter goes to spring, everything grows, it was originally a season full of hope, however, the people of Shiming City had a hurried look on their faces again. The siege of the Wolf Valley continued, and half a year had passed, and 50,000 of the 450,000 invading troops of the Yue Kingdom had been annihilated, and there were still 400,000 Yue invaders gathered at a distance of 100 miles from Shiming City, which made people's hearts very uneasy.
Originally, it was thought that a cold winter would cause the invading army of the Yue Kingdom to quickly and naturally collapse, however, it seems that with the arrival of spring, the Yue army will continue to live for its own life and pose a strong threat to Shiming City.
Han Lingxiao convened a position meeting to discuss how to end the war as soon as possible, and invited some scholars from the Chinese country to attend this meeting.
Han Lingxiao spoke first: "We spent half a year to annihilate 50,000 people of the Yue Army, although our own casualties are very small, but the cost we pay is larger, and now there are still 400,000 people in the besieged Yue Army, think about it, is there any way for our Black Mule Army to absorb these 400,000 people, or convert them into a labor army, now all countries in the Xuan Realm are seriously short of labor, and we also have a precedent for using the Yue Army deserters and the Yue Army prisoners." ”
"The Black Mule King, the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom have succumbed to the rule of power and become slaves of war, they are rebellious and capricious, and it is difficult to co-opt them and transform them into a labor army. Song Yao, a scholar of Jiguo, said.
"Black Mule King, this is indeed the case, this Yue army invasion is overwhelming, looting and killing all the way, and they cannot be easily forgiven. Ji Guo scholar Niu Gaomu said.
"Black Mule King, our own strength is limited, the Black Mule Legion plus the Wu National Regiment only has a total of more than 400,000 people, if we forcibly incorporate the Yue Army, or forcibly transform it into a labor army, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles. Jiguo scholar Lian Di said.
"Black Mule King, the Black Mule Legion cannot co-opt the 400,000 Yue Army, or transform it into a labor army, because some of them have been captured or returned to the Yue Country to serve as soldiers again after working in the Wu Kingdom. Fan Youchen, a scholar of Jiguo, said.
After listening to the opinions of these scholars, Han Lingxiao asked, "Since it cannot be incorporated or transformed into a labor army, then what will we do with these 400,000 soldiers of the Yue Army?"
"We can only annihilate these soldiers of the Yue Army and completely destroy the effective combat effectiveness of the Yue Country. Jiguo scholar Montaigne said.
Han Lingxiao asked again: "How can we annihilate these soldiers as soon as possible at the lowest cost?"
"I suggest burning, which can be fired with ten thousand arrows to shoot flammables and combustibles into enemy lines. Ji scholar Fu Dingxin said.
"The method of burning is not available, there are streams and combustibles in the Wolf Valley, and now spring rain falls from time to time, which is not enough to annihilate these 400,000 people. Jiang Hebei, a scholar of Jiguo, said.
"I suggest using pits to kill, you can dig a dozen or so large pits in a place with a strong barrier, shallow in front and deep in the back, to lure the enemy in, so that the enemy thinks that there is a place to escape, but in fact, there is no way out, either waiting to be starved to death, or being shot. Bai Qi, a scholar of Jiguo, said.
"The method of pit killing is very feasible, which allows us to effectively annihilate the enemy army at a small cost and a low cost of encirclement and suppression. Liang Zhigang, a scholar of Jiguo, said.
After hearing this, Han Lingxiao also felt that the method of pit killing was more feasible, so he said to Bai Qi: "You work out a detailed and feasible plan as soon as possible, and complete this deployment as soon as possible with the construction party." ”
After Xiaohua learned about this plan, she immediately participated, deployed the militia in time, and built it as soon as possible, dug more than a dozen big pits around the Wolf Valley, and carried out the pit killing and annihilation operation against the Yue army.
Although the construction was completed quickly, the military operation of the Pit and Kill Army lasted for another year and a half, which means that the progress was not as fast as expected, but the price paid by the Black Mule Army was significantly reduced.
In the autumn of the following year, more than a dozen large pits around the Wolf Valley were all filled, and all the 400,000 invading troops of the Yue Kingdom were killed and buried.
In the autumn of this year, Wuguo is another bumper harvest year, it seems that the improvement of the country, the construction of water conservancy, the irrigation of farmland and the development of sheep farming have made the Wuguo change the situation of poverty and weakness, not only the people do not have to worry about food and clothing, but also produced a lot of rich families.
However, the people of Stone Castle did not celebrate a good harvest, celebrate a victory, or have a happy expression on their faces. Everyone is still in a hurry, each busy with their own livelihoods.
Although the threat of the invading army of Yue was lifted, the name of the pit killing made people shudder, even if it was the enemy who was killed, there was no glory and joy on the face of the victor. I'm afraid that even after thousands of years, this pit killing, as well as these dozen or so mass graves, will be terrifying when mentioned.
However, there are still things to look forward to and celebrate, that is, in more than a month, the black mule king Han Lingxiao will marry Ling Lan on the day of the beginning of winter.
Mu Zixin is fourteen or fifteen years old, and she has grown into a big girl, but she seems to be getting bigger and bigger, and she doesn't have the reserved style that a girl should have. She still practices diligently with Xia Yuqian and Yuan Ying every day, but she doesn't go out to chat with people anymore, and she will use it to read books and classics when she has time.
Xia Yuqian is even more charming, even in the shadow of war, she is grinding with Fengchen's ears and sideburns, and lives a warm little life. Since the end of the war, Fengchen has relieved himself of the burden of maintaining the safety of Shiming City and returned to be the head of Islam.
Yuan Ying still secretly cohabited with Yin Shi, who made great contributions to the battle against the Yue Army and became one of the core figures of the Black Mule Army.
Han Yuluo and Xiao Han came to Shiming City from the Red Square, and they were going to come to attend Han Lingxiao's wedding. Han Yuluo is also a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man, a talent, but he is still a little bit impatient.
Interestingly, along with Han Yuluo and Xiao Han, there was also a handsome and handsome young man of the same age as Han Yuluo, his name was Chu Jianxiong. If it weren't for him reporting to his family, no one would have thought that he would be Chu Xiaohe's eldest son, everyone knows that Chu Xiaohe is from a family, but few people know that he is a group of wives and concubines.
The two precious sons of Kamiori and Yin Gechuan are almost two and a half years old, and they are not only obedient and listen to sounds, learn to speak, but also run around, laugh and play.
Jiang Lan'er and Yu Lianji were the most surprising, they actually lived in Shi Mingcheng for two years. They chatted with Kamiori from time to time to relieve their boredom, and the three of them also maintained the intimate relationship of their best friends.
Due to Jiang Lan'er's problems and being busy dealing with various affairs during the war, Xiaohua seems to have severed contact with Kamiori and Yulianhime.
As soon as the war ended, the news came that Han Lingxiao was about to marry Wan Lan, which made Jiang Lan'er very restless. So far, Jiang Lan'er's crush on Han Lingxiao is still known only to Yu Lianji and Xiaolian.
After Jiang Lan'er learned the news, she pulled Yu Lianji day and night to think about countermeasures, wanting to get Han Lingxiao before Han Lingxiao and Wanlan got married.
