The forbidden army is equipped with ordinary bows and crossbows, with an effective range of less than 300 meters; Heavy bow crossbow, the effective range can reach 800 meters (not to brag, the range of the bow and crossbow in the Song Dynasty is so good). Moreover, compared with bows and arrows, the accuracy of bows and crossbows far exceeds that of bows and arrows.

The main thing is that the bow and crossbow used a triling-shaped arrow (not to brag, the triling-shaped arrow, which appeared in the Qin Dynasty), and the bow and arrow were indeed ordinary diamond-shaped arrows. The lethality in the middle is dozens of times worse.

And the armor of the forbidden army and the leather armor of the box army, the defensive power is completely incomparable.

The soldiers of the forbidden army passed on leather boots, and the soldiers of the box army passed on cloth shoes, and they were often not replenished.

Many soldiers in the Xiang army, most of their cloth shoes have been torn, revealing one or two toes, which is a common thing.

The difference in equipment and food directly leads to the difference in combat effectiveness.

At least, Yang Yansi felt that the four battalions of 20,000 troops outside Miza City, which he had already equipped, would not be a problem to deal with the Yongning Army head-on.

The Yongning army marched through four cities in Jiaozhi for three days, but basically did not meet with effective resistance.

These cities had been destroyed by Hou Renbao's army before, and they had basically been looted.

Occasionally, I will encounter one or two groups of people who have been temporarily pulled up, and when I see a large army, I will disperse in a hurry.

"Chief, there's an urgency."

The army of Yongning Army, when it continued to pull out from Jiaozhi, Zhao Di beside Yang Yansi was replaced by fallen leaves.

Fallen Leaves handed a letter sealed with vermilion lacquer to Yang Yansi.

Yang Yansi opened it and contained two letters inside, one was about Hou Renbao's movements, and the other was related to Miza City.

Hou Renbao's movements were nothing to see, he led the forbidden army, boarded the newly built big ship, and was heading west along the sea, and was now floating on the sea.

The letters from the city of Myza are very interesting.

First of all, the man in charge of escorting the rogue has returned.

In the past half a year, Yang Yanping seems to have exterminated many bandits, and there are more than 40,000 reckless bandits who have gathered.

That's five times more than the first escort.

Yang Yansi didn't understand why Yang Yanping sent so many people at once, but this was indeed a good thing for him.

What he lacks most at the moment is manpower.

The second thing is that Yang Yanding and Geng Jinhua, who visited Miza City, don't know what they talked about with Hailina.

In short, after the three of them had a secret conversation.

Yang Yanding and Geng Jinhua have already decided to stay in Miza.

At the same time, they also helped persuade Yang Yanguang and his wife, who had just arrived in Miza.

All four decided to stay in Miza.

Right now, Yang Yanding, Yang Yanguang, and Geng Jinhua, each generation and a battalion of people, are following them to pick up the city.

Of the four cities that Yang Yansi passed through before, three of them were already owned by Yang Yansi.

I don't know who came up with the idea of picking up the city.

In his spare time, Yang Yansi replied to Miza and explained three things.

The first thing is to continue conscription training.

The second thing is to speed up the persuasion work of the slang people and bureaucrats in the mountains and forests, and persuade them to move to Cochin.

The third thing is to gather the men in the city that has been occupied and teach it to a person named Ye Hong.

After explaining these three things, Yang Yansi rode his horse in a comfortable mood.

The city of Miza is quietly growing rapidly, which is undoubtedly a great joy for him.

Every point that Miza City grew in strength meant that he had more power to conquer the whole of Cochin.

From beginning to end, Yang Yansi never expected to rely on Hou Renbao's forbidden army to take down the entire Jiaozhi.

In Yang Yansi's eyes, this battle, from the moment Zhao Guangyi commanded it remotely, was already doomed to defeat.

This is also recorded in the historical data.

In this world, if there is one person who can change the outcome of this battle, it is only him.

Unfortunately, he wasn't going to help.

The reason why he followed Li Zifeng into Jiaozhi was because of his responsibilities and could not be avoided; The second is that he wants to get to know his future opponent Li Huan and the 100,000 army in Li Huan's hands.

When the Yongning army marched to Mancheng, it finally ran into Li Huan's army.

Because he had waited for ten days on the border between Jiaozhi and Yongzhou, he gave Li Huan a chance to reoccupy the city.

Li Huan took this opportunity to not only occupy Li City, but also occupy the whole city.

Although Mancheng is not as important as Licheng, it is also a big city, and it is also a city that the Yongning army must pass through on the road to Jiaozhi.

Standing on the hill outside the city, looking at the city wall, Li Huan's royal flag fluttered.

Li Zifeng summoned scouts, "How many soldiers and horses are there in the city, have you heard clearly?" ”

The Pioneer Scout was an old pawn who trotted up to Li Zifeng and got down on one knee.

"General Qiyu, according to his subordinates, there are 10,000 elite soldiers and more than 20,000 servant troops in the city. The four gates of the city, the east and west gates, were blocked by huge stones. If our army wants to attack, it can only attack from the north and south. ”

Li Zifeng frowned, "There are more than 30,000 people, and there are so many more strong people in the city?" ”

Yang Yansi immediately stepped forward, pointed to the empty rice fields around the city, and said: "There is no one in these fields, it should be the defender of the city, and all the strong people in the grange and the city have been mobilized together, and organized into a servant army to defend the city." ”

Yang Yanzhao was on the side and added: "The east and west gates are the main roads that our army must pass through, and now they have been blocked. The Jiaozhi people are putting on a stubborn posture and want to fight with us! This battle is not easy to fight. ”

Li Zifeng waved his hand and ordered the whole army.

"Set up camp on the spot!"

After a stick of incense, the tent has been tied.

Li Zifeng invited Yang Yansi and the three of them into the tent, and said straight to the point: "There are 10,000 elite soldiers in the city, 20,000 servant troops, and they occupy the city. I'm afraid we'll do a lot of damage. What are the best ways for the three of them to break the enemy? ”

Cao Wei pondered for a moment and asked, "Who is the defender of the city, and can he use his means on him?" ”

Li Zifeng frowned, shook his head and said, "Difficult!" The name of the defender of the city is Li Chong, and this person is Li Huan's nephew. The said art of war is not as strategic as Li Huan, but it is better than a stable temperament. If you want to use your means against him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have an effect. ”

Yang Yanzhao hesitated for a moment and said: "The way to outwit is nothing more than two strategies, but at the moment, there is no water available around the city; If you set it on fire, it won't have the effect we want. We'll have to try a feint and see if we can find some flaws in the city's defenses. ”

Li Zifeng and Cao Wei glanced at each other and groaned.

"That's all we can do for now."

Li Zifeng shouted loudly: "Someone is coming." ”

"Subordinates, see generals."

"You go and order 5,000 men and prepare to attack the city."

"No!"
