The actual number of people naturally cannot be calculated in this way, because Jiangtou City, where the main force of the Ming army is located, is more than two days away from Mengyang City, and it is difficult to achieve timely support, and if you only talk about the Ming army in Mengyangcheng, counting the logistics people, the total number is only less than 10,000 people, which is far less than the Luchuan army.

Generally speaking, the number of the Ming army was actually at an all-round disadvantage on the battlefield, and the Ming army was able to achieve victory, in fact, it was to win more with less, and this kind of victory can hardly be said to be a glorious victory, and even if it did not achieve victory, it was completely excusable.

The so-called numerical superiority of the Ming army is actually a kind of numerical superiority, and the total number of the Ming army is compared with the number of part of the enemy army in each battlefield, can this numerical superiority really be called a numerical superiority?

In the final analysis, this is just a ridiculous statement, which is due to the hostility of the army that smeared the southern and northern wars and the high-spirited expedition, and the ignorance of the Ming army, which only knew part of the situation of the war and the general situation of the Ming army.

If the total number of the Ming army is compared with the total number of the enemy, the Ming army will naturally have an advantage, and if the total number of the Ming army is compared with the total number of the enemy, the result will be completely opposite, and the total number of the enemy army is often far ahead.

In the final analysis, that is, Jiang Yugang really realized one point after he traveled to this era, the fourteenth year of Ming Yingzong's orthodoxy, and the Ming army has an excellent ability to win more with less than the Luchuan army, and in terms of data refinement, it is probably when the ratio of the number of soldiers in the Ming army and the Luchuan army is one to three, it can resist the attack of the Luchuan army, and when the ratio is less than one to two, the Ming army can occupy the advantage of the battlefield.

"The reinforcements from the Mansi Village battalion, 10,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry, may actually be different, but no more than 2,000 people." Jiang Yu slowly said the situation of the reinforcements.

Hearing Jiang Yu's words, Aouma's face showed unprecedented joy, and he confirmed with some disbelief: "The big battalion really sent reinforcements?" What about the defense line of Jiangtou City? ”

Jiang Yuyan shook his head lightly and said: "I don't know if the transfer of so many troops will affect the situation in Jiangtou City, but I think the overall result should be good, on the one hand, we already have an advantage in Jiangtou City, even if we lose more than 10,000 troops, we may not be at a disadvantage; On the other hand, this time the transfer of the army was carried out in the fastest situation, and the Luchuan army in Jiangtou City may not be able to get the news in time and react. ”

"This is great, Meng Yangcheng is finally saved, so in this way, Mang Castle can also be saved." Auma nodded and muttered.

In the final analysis, people are most concerned about things that are closely related to their own interests, which is why Jiang Yugang keeps asking for materials from Bai Qianfan to build Manggu Castle, he wants to use these residents in Manggu Mountain to let them change their identities and fight for the Ming army, so they must have a reason to fight.

This kind of reason for fighting, blindly using force, may be able to do, but the best way is to make them willing to fight and work from the bottom of their hearts, with the purpose of protecting their own interests.

Jiang Yuyan reminded: "Don't think too optimistically, things are not so simple, according to my estimate, maybe the reinforcements will not arrive in Mengyang City until after sunrise the day after tomorrow, and this is already the fastest speed." ”

The reminder poured cold water on Aouma's head, and the excited expression on his face faded into a somewhat unacceptable shock and disappointment: "Is it going to be so late?" According to the information we have obtained, the Luchuan army will launch an attack tomorrow morning, can we really hold Mengyang City and hold out until reinforcements arrive? ”

Jiang Yuyan is not easy to answer this question, he is actually not very confident in his heart, whether he can hold it and hold on until the reinforcements arrive, in his opinion, the key is the effect that the bird gun can play in the battle, if it can play the ideal effect, and block the Luchuan army in the north of Mengyang City, there may be a chance to drag it on.

However, there are two problems in this hypothesis, the first is whether the bird gun can play the ideal target effect in a large-scale battle, and whether the Luchuan army will be stopped by the effect of the bird gun, and the second point is more deadly, that is, how long it will take for the reinforcements to come to Mengyang City.

Jiang Yugang's intelligence officers, using the method of taking shortcuts, can operate in a one-way operation between Mengyangcheng and the Mansizhai camp for almost a day, strictly speaking, a day, that is, 12 hours, but these shortcuts are not suitable for forming a complex army with a large number of personnel.

And if the army marches on another detoured and relatively wide road, if it is only a cavalry unit, it may take nearly a whole day to march, but the problem is that the vast majority of the people in the army are not cavalry, then the overall marching speed will be greatly reduced, and another unavoidable problem is the rest of the soldiers, they cannot march for a whole day.

Therefore, Jiang Yugang's estimate of reinforcements is two nights and one day, which includes the march at night. The reason for this calculation is because the intelligence sent by Jiang Yugang to the Mansi Village camp indicated the attack arrangements of the Luchuan army, and also explained the garrison of Mengyang City.

Jiang Yugang believed that if Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji had known these relatively specific battlefield information, it would have been impossible for him to choose to make long-term repairs at night without devoting himself to the marching arrangements, so the time at night could also be included in the estimation of time.

But this kind of consideration, to put it bluntly, is a very personal imagination factor, to put it mildly, it is speculation, even if Jing Yuanbo clearly understands the information sent by Jiang Yugang, but he must have his own judgment on the information, the information sent by Jiang Yugang is at most endorsed by Bai Qianfan, but after designing an oolong of false information to attract the attention of Jing Yuanbo and other senior generals, the credibility of this information also makes Jiang Yugang doubt himself.

Jing Yuanbo does not necessarily believe Jiang Yugang's intelligence, and how to deal with this information militarily and tactically, these are also arranged by Jing Yuanbo himself. And these arrangements are not something that Jiang Yugang can imagine.

Although Jiang Yugang has also been dominating in Manggu Mountain in the past few months, he has gathered a lot of troops under his command, and has fought many battles large and small, but in the final analysis, it is still not enough to see compared to large-scale battles, Jiang Yugang's entire army is only in his early 1,000s, and he has no experience in leading and commanding an army of this level, how Wang Ji will arrange tens of thousands of reinforcements under his command is also Jiang Yugang's inability to accurately judge.

If you can't judge accurately, you can only rely on guesswork. Jiang Yuyan is not a casual person, and he especially doesn't like these uncertain situations, so when talking to Aouma, the color on his face is definitely not good-looking.

And Auma is also worthy of being a person who has been with Jiang Yugang for a long time, although Jiang Yugang does not often write his mood on his face, but he is not the kind of person who absolutely always hides his mood, he just doesn't like to be happy and angry, but he doesn't pursue a completely deep city.

In this way, the negative emotions shown on Jiang Yugang's face became rarer, and it also allowed Auma to more directly perceive some unspoken situations that Jiang Yugang hid under his emotions.

"Baihu, this information is true." Awuma's voice was a little harsh, and he worriedly asked a question that was very difficult for him to ask. This question, on the one hand, as long as it is asked, it shows that he does not trust Jiang Yugang, and on the other hand, it is also possible to hear an answer that he cannot accept.

It was not the first time that Auma had faced the current situation, he had been active since he was a child, and he was trained by the old village owner as a war in the village at a very young age, and later stood out in battle after battle, started a family, and also had some prestige in the cottage and the nearby mountains.

Although he had not participated in the war before, his combat experience was not inferior to that of many veterans, and he had experienced a lot of special orders from the upper leaders. To say that it is a special order is actually an order that may conceal the real reason and package it with a false reason.

Take the first battle he had in Nansangzhai and the Luchuan army before, the order of the old village owner as an example, the old village owner at that time said that the Luchuan army was some newly recruited people from other villages, not the opponent of their Nansang Village soldiers, but the fact is that there are many experienced and strong veterans mixed in, so that the war in Nansangzhai suffered heavy casualties, and in the end even the village owner himself was not spared.

And the reason why the old village owner said so before the battle is because for Nansang Village, especially for the old village owner, this is a battle that must not be fought, once the Luchuan army is allowed to enter the South Sang Village and control the village, all the battles in Nansang Village will become the cannon fodder soldiers of the Luchuan Army at that time, and the inheritance of the village owner family will disappear over the generations.

What made Auma feel a sense of familiarity was Jiang Yu's words at this moment. For Jiang Yugang, there may also be reasons why he can't fight, Auma can understand Jiang Yugang's desire for victory in this battle, as long as he wins the battle, he will have the opportunity to completely break away from the identity of a low-level officer and enter the array of local military governors.

And with this, the entire defense line of Mang Castle may become his reasonable subordinates, and he also has the ability to gain a foothold in Luchuan. But on the contrary, if Meng Yangcheng falls, then not to mention that he will lose the opportunity to further improve his status, even the current Mang Ancient Castle may be lost.

As one of the highest-ranking military commanders in Manggu Castle, and one of the people with the highest status in fact, Auma had a general understanding of the specific establishment of the Ming army from Jiang Yugang's narration and the Ming army officers from Mengyang City, and knew that with Jiang Yugang's official position, it was reasonable to only be able to govern a hundred soldiers, and now he was able to actually control Mang Castle, mainly because Jiang Yugang's control and prestige over the entire Mang Castle was recognized by the generals above, so he controlled Mang Castle as the acting commander of the defense line.

And once the defense line collapses, Jiang Yugang will naturally not have this identity, and he can no longer have the power to control Mang Castle, and it may be even more unacceptable to him, in fact, another point that makes it difficult for everyone to accept is that at that time, Mang Castle, as part of the defense line of Mengyang City, is a question of whether it can still exist.

What Auma didn't know was that if Jiang Yuyan only had the title of one hundred households, it was likely that he would not even be able to have a hundred subordinates, because a full team was not a common phenomenon.
