Chapter 1292: Bai Qi and Li Jing
There were originally 10,000 main forces and 80,000 militia in Yinshan City, but with the onslaught of the Yuan and Mongolian slave army after the arrival of the casualties, the losses of troops on both sides were extremely serious.
Many of the slave armies of Yuanmeng were warriors captured by Temujin from other tribes during his conquest of the grasslands, and with the temptation of getting rid of slavery, the combat effectiveness of the slave army was not inferior to that of the regular army.
Under the desperate defense of Li Jing and Yang Liulang, although the 50,000 slave army of Yuanmeng was defeated, there were only 1,000 main forces left in Yinshan City, and less than 40,000 militia left.
Although the militia's combat effectiveness is getting stronger and stronger under the continuous wear, it still cannot replace the role of the main force, and the militia alone is destined to not be able to hold the city, even if there are many of them.
Yinshan City, which had only a thousand main forces left, seemed to be on the verge of breaking the city, but with the entry of the 25,000 elites of Bai Qi, Yinshan City became rock-solid again.
"Governor Bai Qi, you are really too timely, if you come half a day late, this Yinshan City will really not be able to stand it......"
Yang Liulang grabbed Bai Qi's arm, excited and distressed, and although Bai Qi didn't like men to touch him, he also knew that it was not easy for Yinshan City to hold on until now, so he let him pull and complain.
Looking at the posture of his own master, Li Jing covered his face one by one, looking like he didn't know Yang Liulang.
It's a shame.
On the way back to the City Lord's Mansion, Bai Qi really understood that it was not easy to understand Yinshan City.
In fact, the stones and logs in the city have long been used up, so the houses were demolished to serve as materials to defend the city to capture the enemy, and this demolition is most of the urban area.
Nowadays, most of the area in Yinshan City is bare, there are no buildings, and the people who do not have houses to live in can only build sheds and sleep on the ground while they live.
Bai Qi also found that all the people in Yinshan City, both men and women, were recruited by the government to engage in all kinds of manual labor, or carry materials, or manual work, in short, no one was idle.
Seeing that Bai Qi had been staring at the people, Li Jing thought he had guessed his thoughts, and said: "Yinshan City has been able to hold on until now, thanks to the 300,000 people in Yinshan City, it is with the full support of the people that Yinshan City can hold out until the arrival of the governor, otherwise it would have been broken by Yuanmeng a long time ago." ”
"Oh? I can't see it. ”
Li Jing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and Bai Qi continued: "The people in the occupied area are far more than 300,000, and the people in the city also support our army, but they still can't hold the city.
It can be seen that the key to defending Yinshan City does not lie in the support of the people, but in the person who can mobilize the people, but such people are not found in every city. ”
Looking at Bai Qi's appreciative gaze, Li Jing smiled embarrassedly.
To be honest, Li Jing was a little unconvinced by Bai Qi in his heart.
Li Jing and Bai Qi are both from the Jin Army, Bai Qi is from Hei Bingtai, and Li Jing is the general of the Qin family, it stands to reason that Li Jing's starting point is higher than Bai Qi, but Bai Qi is already the governor of the Qin army, and his status is second only to Qin Hao and higher than all the military advisors, and he Li Jing is still serving Yang Liulang as a deputy general.
Li Jing has studied Bai Qi's style of leading troops, he admires Bai Qi very much in his heart, but he doesn't feel that he is worse than Bai Qi, and feels that Bai Qi is just much better luck than him, he followed the most suitable monarch at the best time, and got the opportunity to give full play to his talents, if he changes with Bai Qi, he may not be worse than Bai Qi.
Li Jing respects his lord Qin Wen very much, and although Qin Wen is also very optimistic and wants to cultivate him, there are many people that Qin Wen is optimistic about and cultivates, and he Li Jing is just one of them.
Therefore, under the coolness of the serious dispersion of resources, the opportunity that Qin Wen could provide to him was naturally not at the same level as the opportunity provided to Bai Qi by Qin Hao without any reservations.
Even so, Li Jing seized every opportunity and was promoted to a general little by little, which was already very fast in the Jin army.
Of course, it is naturally incomparable to Bai Qi, who has become a famous general, after all, Bai Qi is a signboard created by Qin Hao using most of the resources of the Qin army.
In the past, Li Jing would occasionally be sour in front of his childhood sweetheart, but Bai Qi took the risk of personally containing Murong Chui's 200,000 army, which made Li Jing's opinion of Bai Qi change greatly.
Bai Qi is not only lucky, he is also a true man with a strong heart, who dares to work hard, and dares to sacrifice his life, and Li Jing's favorite is those who strive for self-improvement.
Hearing Bai Qi's words, Yang Liulang nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, there are many times when I can't hold on, it is Senior Brother Yao who has resolved the crisis and can defend Yinshan City, and Senior Brother Yao is definitely a great contribution." ”
Li Jing smiled humbly: "Praise falsely, Yinshan City can persevere, it is by no means the credit of any one person, everyone is indispensable, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts." ”
Bai Qi could see that Li Jing was not pretending, and secretly said in his heart: This is a modest and cautious person, and he will definitely become a pillar of the army in the future, and maybe he can be compared with me.
Why did Bai Qi dare not enter Yinshan City all the time? You must know that once Yinshan City is lost, it will be a situation where all hands are lost.
With the situation at that time, under Murong Chui's strict defense, Bai Qi did not have absolute certainty to enter Yinshan City, and if the casualties of the soldiers were too large, it would be meaningless even if he entered, so he decided to take a gamble.
Bai Qi bet that Murong Chui had a clear priority, and he would definitely save Zhenbeiguan, but the only concern was whether Yinshan City could hold out until that time, and the person who made Bai Qi make up his mind was Li Jing.
Bai Qi found that the defensive battle of Yinshan was fought so well that it could be called a textbook template for defending the city, even if he came to defend the city in person, it might not be better than Li Jing.
Therefore, Bai Qi decided to gamble on Li Jing, and Li Jing really disappointed him, although Yinshan City was extremely difficult to defend, but in the end it was defended.
Bai Qi has seen many potential generals, such as: Huo Quzhi, Xue Rengui, Yue Fei, etc., they all have great potential, but Li Jing is indeed the person with the greatest potential he has seen.
Huo Quai's abilities and Xue Rengui's abilities are extremely strong, but they also have some character flaws to a greater or lesser extent, such as: Yue Fei is upright, Huo Quzhi is frivolous, and Xue Rengui is ......
These are just minor character flaws, but for those generals who are in charge of the army, they will become fatal weaknesses.
But in Li Jing's body, Bai Qi has not found any character flaws at present, which is quite rare, so he dares to conclude that Li Jing's future achievements will definitely be very high.
