Outside the city, the snow is flying, and it is covered in snow.

was said by Zhao Cheng. At the same time as the victory of Shili Pavilion, Wang Xiu sent Li Tianyan to lead a whole thousand people to rush into Yangshan, but the cottage was empty, and now no one knows where they went?

Chizhou seems to be not big, but now that the snow is closing the mountain, in addition to the good horses from the north who can barely be organically powered, the thick snow makes it difficult to move an inch, let alone march to find people.

So now Wang Xiu is very big!

At that time, Wang Xiu took advantage of the news provided by Zhu Xiao that the government was anxious to Zhao'an, but in fact, due to distraction, this opportunity was also used by the unpredictable Bai Agarwood.

"When Lao Tzu deployed to eat the box army, the 1 was also deploying a retreat plan, and in this winter, he gave up the good sheep mountain that they built with their own hands?"

Looking at Chizhou City, which was close at hand, Wang Xiu muttered to himself.

The subordinate robbers pouted their blood in their chests, and were eager to fight into the city, so that they could easily have countless riches and beauties. But there is no good way at the moment, and the big boss has a lot of scruples.

There is no need to be afraid of the government forces in other counties, and the large and small cottage competitors have also hacked to death before this, and now Wang Xiu has gathered more than 30 leaders, all of whom are sharpening their knives.

But only the stubborn and weirdly disappeared white agarwood is a huge hidden danger, like a thorn in the flesh. God knows what amazing moves the crazy woman will make when the army is besieging the city?

If she said that she would make a mistake, no one believed it, and Wang Xiu didn't believe it. But since the Battle of Xishan, she brought a hundred old, weak, sick and disabled, and used the weird "featherless arrow" to ruin Wang Xiu's big thing, and now others don't believe it or not, Wang Xiu believes it, and needs to be vigilant, otherwise a careless crazy woman can make people bleed to death.

"Don't worry, the king, Chizhou is under my control, it's only a matter of time before the city is broken, and it's only a matter of time before they have civil strife."

Litian Leap almost said some comforting words.

Wang Xiu still looked worried, "At first, this king thought like you. But now seven days have passed, and the city of Chizhou is impregnable, and the dead soldiers in the city that I deployed in advance have been recognized, and no waves have appeared. No news was sent, so I don't know what role Zhu Xiao is playing now, I only know that Zhao Cheng is the real opponent, at least he has a quick and decisive curfew and full control of Chizhou City. With such a reaction and control, even if he doesn't have an army, it makes this king worry about the next variables. ”

The rest of the people looked at each other, feeling that they were exalting the scholar too much.

Wang Xiu didn't pay attention to everyone's thoughts, and raised his hand to the city again, "Originally, we prepared in advance, thinking that we could take advantage of the shortage of materials in winter and make them collapse internally by besieging the city, but now it seems that this king didn't understand it at that time and made a mistake." ”

It happened to be winter, which gave Zhao Cheng the opportunity to control the hearts of the people. It happened to be winter, and the plagues in the closed city were eliminated. It happened to be the coldest winter that solved the shortage of water under the siege of the army......"

Hearing this, the subordinates, including Litian Yan, didn't understand it too well.

Wang Xiu explained, "The cold winter seems terrible, but the key is how to use it. There are many disadvantages. In the past, when unscrupulous refugees entered the city, they would be covered with feces and urine, bringing with them an overwhelming number of flies, which would quickly pollute most of the water sources. The heat caused the water to evaporate throughout the city. Therefore, it is okay to skip meals to a certain extent, but as long as there is a lack of water, they will inevitably die and trample in civil strife for three days. ”

"This winter is the only one that has stopped the source of the disease and solved the water problem. Looking at it now, Chizhou City is not chaotic, and this king even has a feeling that Zhao Cheng chose to plan to fight us in winter at the beginning? ”

Wang Xiu is really familiar with military books and is prepared to fight, but unfortunately he also underestimates the opponent's ability to a certain extent.

If he knew that Zhao Cheng was so awesome at the beginning, Wang Xiu would choose to endure until the summer, when it was very simple to break Chizhou City. Even if he has the ability to execute, no matter how well the order and environment in the city are maintained, he only needs to throw a circle of dead cows and rotten horse meat outside the city, and as soon as the sun shines, there will be overwhelming flies in an hour, and then the pervasive flies will "attack the city" and take the initiative to pollute. It will be broken in seven days at most!

However, these are only fantasies now, and the demons sent the gods to send this war to break out in the dead of winter. And unexpectedly, the harvest last year, the overall grain reserves of Chizhou City are not bad, as for whether Zhao Cheng has the ability to cut the grain from the rich local tyrant without causing civil strife, it depends on his ability.

But now it seems that Wang Xiu feels that Zhao Cheng has such ability.

What's even more unexpected is that even after the grain is cut off, the white agarwood department is still self-reliant, and there is no situation of being slaughtered by others.

The pill is not a pill to the people, this is a counter-signal, a hidden danger. From now on, Wang Xiu has noticed these details.

But no one knows what to do with it.

"Order, tonight's medium-scale siege of the city, the third offensive and defensive battle trial and error, in a short period of time, we must test Zhao Cheng's organizational strength."

Wang Xiu's tone was full of worry, "Although they are in danger, it is not easy for me to wait." We won't have too much time, and we will face the army of the imperial court entering Jiangnan at any time after the beginning of spring. If we fail to take Chizhou and gain a firm foothold at that time, the old fox of Fang La will inevitably be lurking and will not cooperate with the incident. If they don't attract the attention of the army, and we don't have a shaky foundation, then we are officially on the point of no return. ”

……

Now the unanimous goal is to survive this damn New Year.

Different times mean different conditions. In fact, it is not cold in the first month of the later generations, but in this so-called Xiaoice period, the winter time becomes very long, and the south is slightly better, if the north is usually September, the temperature plummets and begins to snow. There was a period of ice in October and did not recover until February of the following year.

This means that the Hu people in Saibei receive very short sunshine hours, and they have to experience "two winters" every year, and the winter is extended to shorten the other seasons, and the condition of aquatic plants will be very poor if there is not enough fermentation period, which reduces the absolute number of cattle, horses and sheep, and also determines their maximum population carrying capacity.

This is actually the pressure and motivation of their southern expedition.

The environment determines the character of a person. Under the strong pressure of survival, the overall planning and control of the Hu government is only at the fifth level of war, so their internal competition for survival is extremely fierce, and the habit of some clans to kill the elderly and children in winter is formed in this environment.

This law of natural selection determines that there are few of them, but once they survive, they are ruthless people who are almost beasts, and there is a significant gap between them and the combat power of the Han people.

This gap was basically impossible in ancient times, unless it was overrun to the age of material outbursts or hot weapons.

Basically, Zhao Cheng has nothing to do now, and Zhao Cheng, who likes to talk on paper, is also tossing these data, hoping to have a target to calculate the gap between the grassroots people and Wang Xiu.

The conclusion is that the variables are too big to calculate, and any algorithm can eventually trap itself.

In short, it can only be understood that the law of the strength of many people is not applicable at the moment, and once it is used, it is absolutely unadaptable.

So it is easy not to confront Wang Xiu, once the confrontation, because the casualties caused by the large gap between individual soldiers, a small point can make the confidence of the entire Chizhou "rabble" collapse, and the people's hearts are scattered, without Wang Xiu to attack the city, there will always be someone to lead the party to open the door.

These are the calculations so far, Zhao Cheng's general assessment of the offensive and defensive battles in Chizhou City: it cannot be hard under any conditions.

The concept of large numbers of people and great strength can only be left until there is a special elite unit that ruthlessly harvests Wang Xiu two or three times and reverses the initiative in the entire war. To put it simply, it was called the Tailwind War period.

But now the rebels are besieging the city, and heavy snow is involved, blocking everything that can be done. If you only break through once, as long as you are willing to pay the price, you may be able to do it, but even if you do, it will be difficult to contact Bai Agarwood's special forces and set tactics.

If there is enough time and equipment, such as three months, and the selection base is large enough, Zhao Cheng may be able to train a special force that can be used.

Not all wars require huge troops, for example, Li Shimin's world-famous Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers of 2,000 are enough to break through Yin Mountain, even if it is a weak Song Dynasty, Di Qing's 800 divine cavalry is enough to break through Kunlun Pass.

It's a pity that although there is a single soldier armor in the system now, the unlocking time is short, and it is limited to the number of purchases, and since the official war clouds have shrouded, Zhao Cheng has only accumulated more than seventy sets.

And there is no more time, now standing on the head of the city to observe, there is a hunch that tonight Wang Xiu's troops will be on an unprecedented scale, carrying out a high-intensity siege.

What exactly does this judgment come from, Zhao Cheng himself can't say clearly, maybe he observes their military formation every day and finds some changes today.

It's just a feeling. But as we all know, if you drive more, you will feel like a car, and if you shoot more, you will have a gun. The unchanged Wang Xiujun array has seen too much, and now Zhao Cheng also has a sense of war. In addition to this, doing everything also requires some luck bonus.
