"By the way, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we can recruit troops in advance and prepare to replenish the troops!" Du Changjing then said.

As soon as the war starts, there will definitely be dead soldiers, and the dead soldiers will have to be replenished, and if they are not replenished, the defense will decrease, after all, siege warfare is to fight for attrition, and one more person has more strength.

As soon as Ying Chang heard about recruitment, he shook his head without hesitation and vetoed, "Spring ploughing is coming soon, and the people are in need of young and strong labor, and now recruiting soldiers will do more harm than good!" ”

"You can transfer some of the Yang family's troops from Xiguan to support!" Luo Xing opened his mouth and proposed.

"That's even worse!" Du Changjing immediately rejected the proposal.

Now the pressure on Xiguan is also very great, on the one hand to guard against the Qiang people, on the other hand to guard against the Jin army in Nanyang, once the Xiguan army is empty, Nanyang's Jin army may take the opportunity to invade Hexi, then Daqin will have to fight on two fronts, the harm will outweigh the benefits.

"Let's see first, it's not too late to plan then!" Ying Chang decided to put this matter aside and prepare for the current situation first.

"That's all there is to it now!" Du Changjing nodded helplessly.

This is the sorrow of the weak national strength, and there are no conditions for implementing any strategy.

At the second moment of Shen Shi, the sun hanging in the sky set to the west, and the menacing Jin army also appeared not far from Yangguan, and the figure of the Jin army could be seen standing on the city wall, Ying Chang and Du Changjing stood on the city wall, and the setting sun stretched their shadows.

"Look at the distance, it's only three miles!" Du Changjing looked at Jin Jun with a decent gaze and said.

"Tomorrow will be a tough battle!" Ying Chang's face couldn't help but show a trace of solemnity, without him, the strength of the Jin army is too huge, it is one thing to hear the number, and it is one thing to see the number with his own eyes.

There are 480,000 people, and there is really no end in sight when they stand up, densely packed, which makes people nervous from the bottom of their hearts.

The Jin army was encamped, so in the blink of an eye, the tents were erected, and from a distance, Yingchang and Du Changjing saw some siege artifacts such as huge siege vehicles, and many soldiers on the city wall were a little panicked when they saw these things.

Seeing the countless troops of the Jin army, he was even more nervous, but this was an ordinary reaction, even if a veteran of a hundred battles saw this scene, he would be nervous.

Nervousness does not mean fear, and panic does not mean fear.

An hour later, the sky darkened, the Jin army camp was also settled, countless torches were lit, and the light in the direction of the Jin army camp could be seen from afar, and it can be said that the Jin army camp is now the brightest place in the land of Kyushu.

Jin Junshuai is in the tent!

Li Qi sat in a handsome position wearing white tiger armor, and now he has a ruddy face and has returned to his peak state.

Both sides of the tent were full of captains in armor, all of them looked solemn, their eyes looked directly at Li Qi, the atmosphere in the tent was full of seriousness and tension, there was not the slightest sound, and even the breathing sound next to them could be heard.

"Ben will make some arrangements in the future, and if you have any objections later, you can raise them at any time, but don't interrupt Ben Jiang's words, understand?" Li Qi looked around at everyone expressionlessly and said, his tone was neither light nor heavy, neither cold nor cold, and there was no personal emotion mixed in it.

"Understood!" All the lieutenants shouted back in unison.

"Map!" Richie called softly.

After the words fell, the two captains walked to the side of the tent, took off the map hanging next to them, and walked in front of the captains, and Li Qi also got up from the commander's position, walked to the map, and stretched out his hand to point to a point next to Yangguan.

"This is the highest hill near us, the top is flat, you can see any wind and grass around, you can set up a command camp, and this general is preparing to set up a command camp here, and at the same time will set up 30,000 troops around each side, the garrison is mainly cavalry, the cavalry is not enough to make up for the foot, each week set up three checkpoints, each level is three hundred steps before and after, so if someone attacks the command camp, at most the first level is taken by surprise, and the next two levels have a buffer time response, at the same time, In the event of an enemy attack, is there any objection that the garrison closest to the attack point must be surrounded and annihilated? ”

In the key battle faced by the Jin army, cavalry is as useful as chicken ribs in this type of war, so Li Qi chose to use cavalry, a powerful type of troops, as a garrison, but the cavalry of the Jin army is only 80,000, and it needs 40,000 foot soldiers to replenish.

Just garrisoning and commanding the battalion, 120,000 troops were used, which shows how cautious Li Qi was.

"It's no different!" All the lieutenants replied with solemn expressions.

"Good!" Li Qi nodded expressionlessly, then stretched out his hand to Yangguan, and said in a serious tone: "Tomorrow, gather the army on time to detain the pass, siege vehicles, ladders, impact vehicles, catapults, oil trucks, and ballistas, all of which will be pulled up by the general, and ask for a blow to break through Yangguan!" ”

"Swear to break the Yang Pass and destroy Qin!"

"Swear to break the Yang Pass and destroy Qin!"

All the lieutenants shouted loudly, and the momentum came up all of a sudden.

Li Qi's face was unwavering, but his eyes flashed several fierce colors, and he secretly said in his heart, Bai Qi, you have been humiliating me again and again, this time, I will report the revenge of humiliation and light the sky lantern on your head!

After a period of time, the Jin army acted quickly, and in less than half an hour, the command battalion stood on the highest flat-topped hill next to it, and the surrounding area was full of armor and armor, and the guard was tight, even in the dark night, the Jin army also maintained the caution of the day, patrolling the inside of the camp and around it indirectly, and strictly preventing any wind and grass.

Experience teaches.

The Jin army maintained the highest vigilance, and the Qin army did not relax, and carried batches of crossbows and iron arrows, round wood, and heavy boulders to the city wall, and everything that could be defended was on the city wall, and the city gate was full of stones, so that even if the city gate was broken, the Jin army would not be able to rush in for a while, but in this way, the Qin army could not get out.

Ying Chang and Du Changjing have been standing on the city wall and have never left, there is no sleepiness at all, and they are uncomfortable when they don't see the figure of the Jin army at a glance.

Luo Xing didn't sleep either, he kept patrolling the defense, and when he saw a mistake, he pointed it out and made up for it.

"Is Your Majesty nervous?" Du Changjing looked at the Jin army camp from afar and asked coldly.

Ying Chang was silent for a while, then shrugged his shoulders, "A little! ”

In the face of such a huge enemy army, no matter how calm people are, they will be nervous, after all, this is not a hundred or two thousand, but a full four hundred and eighty thousand, a real 480,000 people, so many people, let alone fighting, roaring in unison is not something that normal people can bear.

"As long as there is the intention of fighting to the death, and the soldiers have no desire to be greedy, even if the enemy army is millions, there is no need to be afraid!" Du Changjing replied indifferently with an expressionless face.
