Chapter 534: Counting (First Update!) Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! )
Although he had scolded the eighteenth generation of Shang Kexi's ancestors in his heart, Geng Jimao was still forced to accept this reality.
What else should I do? Let this old thief watch the play on the sidelines, and he himself will lead his troops to attack the city?
Even if Shi Lang said that the Ming army was using an empty city strategy, Geng Jimao would not do it.
It seems that the Ming army really has no soldiers at all, and the auxiliaries are not soldiers?
In any case, there were casualties in the siege, and Geng Jimao would definitely not bear this casualty alone.
This old thief really has a lot of thoughts, he wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but Geng Jimao doesn't obey his wishes.
The middle point is the middle point of the discussion, Geng Jimao still doesn't believe it. What if this old thief is so clever? It is impossible to fool Geng Jimao.
This time, the old thief will send as many troops to attack the city, and there will never be one more person than the old thief!
However, it was said that Geng Jimao scolded and took a hundred soldiers to the neutral point agreed by the two sides, which was the maximum number of people Shang Kexi requested.
Geng Jimao is not afraid of Shang Kexi's deception.
His army is behind him, if this old thief really makes any moves, his soldiers will not hesitate to rush over and fight with Shang Kexi.
Of course, Geng Jimao will not take the initiative to attack, and the reason is the same.
The two armies are very close in terms of strength or combat power, and Geng Jimao's only advantage is probably Shi Lang.
However, the price to pay to annex the Shang Ke Xi army is too great, and it is far less cost-effective than cooperating with it to take down the Ming army.
Therefore, Geng Jimao would not have made the first move anyway, and he also believed that Shang Kexi would not do it.
Geng Jimao arrived first, and he waited for a full moment before it was too late.
This made Geng Jimao very unhappy.
Both sides were feudal kings of the Qing court, and the territory they controlled was about the same in terms of wealth and size, and they both had powerful sailors near the sea.
Geng Jimao really couldn't find a reason for Shang Kexi to be so reckless.
If you insist on finding one, I'm afraid it's still a gratifying age.
Shang Kexi is a full generation older than Geng Jimao, and from the perspective of age, he can be Geng Jimao's father.
This is obviously relying on the old and selling the old.
When did you still enjoy this set, which made Geng Jimao very unhappy.
Therefore, when Shang Kexi approached, Geng Jimao immediately became sour: "King Pingnan is really more difficult to invite than the current emperor." The king of Pingnan has driven so far, does this king still have to take over? ”
Seeing that Geng Jimao's words had such a strong sour taste, Shang Kexi was not annoyed.
He said with a smile: "What is King Jingnan talking about?" Don't say that now the emperor is a doll, just a baby, that is also the emperor, how can this king He De be compared with the emperor. ”
Geng Jimao snorted coldly, and said in his heart, this old fox is still pretending at this time.
What you are doing now is taking the current emperor into account?
It's really a bitch and a torii. Thanks to Geng Jimao, he didn't eat much just now, otherwise he would really vomit it out.
He forcibly endured the disgusting in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Since everyone has arrived, there is no need to say anything superfluous. Let the king come first. ”
He paused and said: "There won't be too many soldiers in the Ming army city, it should be mainly auxiliaries." If you attack the city, how many people will the king of Pingnan prepare. ”
Geng Jimao was so straight to the point, Shang Kexi didn't expect it.
Are young people so direct now? I really don't know how to be subtle at all.
That's it, so the old man will show you the cards.
"What about 30,000 people?"
Shang Kexi stretched out three fingers and said lightly.
"Thirty thousand?"
Geng Jimao frowned slightly.
I have to say that in terms of proportion, Shang Kexi is tightly controlled.
30,000 people say that it is not much, and it is not much to say less.
The key is that this is only the number of people Shang Kexi is willing to make, since Shang Kexi has 30,000 people, according to the previous agreement between the two, Geng Jimao should naturally also give 30,000 people.
This brings the two sides together to 60,000 people.
According to Geng Jimao and Shi Lang's previous estimates, the Ming army in the city was full of auxiliary soldiers and village warriors combined, which was a maximum of 50,000 people.
In siege warfare, the besieging side has at least two to three times as many people as the defending side.
Sometimes it's five times as much.
If it's tenfold, it's not a siege, it's a siege.
But this is all based on the fact that both sides are soldiers and have similar combat effectiveness.
If the Ming army was only an auxiliary, Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi would have sent more troops than them, and they would already be very worthy of them.
60,000 soldiers fought 50,000 auxiliaries, even if the auxiliaries had a strong city to defend, Geng Jimao also felt that it was a matter of holding a handle.
If their coalition army can't even take this Nanchang City, then there is no need to continue to Nanjing, and they should go back to their respective homes as soon as possible.
"Okay, just 30,000 people!"
Geng Jimao was very bold and immediately responded.
The soldier was so fast, he really didn't want to waste any more time on bargaining.
Anyway, the forces of the two sides are equal, and there is nothing to lose.
"In that case, please ask King Pingnan to transfer troops to attack the city. The king will also order it immediately. ”
As soon as Geng Jimao's voice fell, Shang Kexi said in a deep voice: "Wait!" ”
Geng Jimao was annoyed in his heart, what happened to this old thief?
really responded to that sentence, ugly people are more to blame.
"What else?"
"Hehe, since it's a joint siege, it is natural to divide the area in advance. This king is older than King Jingnan, so naturally he shouldn't compete with a junior. That's good, the king of Jingnan chooses first, and the king of Jingnan chooses the rest of the king to attack the city. ”
Geng Jimao said in his heart, this is about the same. This old thief has finally done a job.
But when he thought about it carefully, was it not right, did it make such a big difference which wall he chose to attack?
Even if there is really a big difference between the Ming army and the defense of Nanchang City, only the Ming army itself knows.
Geng Jimao monk is happy, how can he know?
So even if Geng Jimao chooses first, it is just a blind election, he can only gamble and can only press, and it is likely that he also bet on the wrong choice of a more difficult aspect.
Geng Jimao only felt that Shang Kexi was disgusting, as disgusting as eating a fly.
In this way, it seems that he has taken advantage of a lot, as if he still owes Shang Kexi a favor.
This old thief is disgusting!
But Shang Kexi on his face let him after all, even if Geng Jimao was unhappy in his heart, he could only pinch his nose and admit it.
The allies you find have to cooperate with the fight with tears.
Geng Jimao did not hesitate, cleared his throat and said: "In this case, this king will choose to attack the east gate and the north gate." ”
Shang Kexi bowed his head slightly when he heard this: "Yes." Then the king will strike at the south gate and the west gate. Although we are attacking the city separately, we can still cooperate with each other. If the king of Jingnan needs it, he can directly send someone to find the king. ”
Geng Jimao sneered in his heart and said: You are a bad old man, Lao Tzu believes that you are a ghost.
