Encircling the point to send reinforcements must make the point feel critical, and then you can ask for help and hurt him, this must be done, but Lu Peng doesn't want to use the soldier's life to climb the city, that's not a good idea.

Lu Peng is willing to measure everything in money now, even if it is a war, even if it is the lives of soldiers.

Once, at a cabinet meeting on armament raising, Mi Zhu raised objections to Lu Peng's efforts to build expensive catapults and order a large number of longbows and arrows that cost countless money and food.

The other members of the cabinet also expressed their incomprehension, and it was better to recruit more soldiers if they had the money and food.

Now the habit is that soldiers are just consumables, and it doesn't matter if they die in battle, anyway, the homeless people in the world have it, their own army is treated so well, and they definitely don't want to enlist, and now, outside Youzhou, a bite of food is more expensive than a human life. Therefore, it has become an inevitable phenomenon that soldiers are not fully clothed, their swords and guns are not neat, and their weapons are scarce.

At that time, Lu Peng pinched his fingers to the cabinet members and said: "A qualified soldier not only needs to be supported by his parents for 20 years, but also trains for at least three months here in Zhao Quan, and then goes to various teams to run in with other troops after three months, not to mention anything else, just for the expenses of military salaries, clothing, food, etc., we will spend at least 100,000 yuan or more." At the same time, for every brother we die in battle, we also need a pension of 100,000 yuan, and every brother who dies in a war means that I have to train another soldier from scratch, so in terms of economy, how much is our investment? ”

"The minimum is 200,000 dollars." Mi Zhu frowned and replied, this is a simple addition and subtraction algorithm, and he is not stupid.

"In fact, you only count our money and food, and forget that the role of a veteran is much greater than that of a new soldier, and excessive casualties will not only make soldiers think that we do not care for their lives, but also make them fear war in the face of massive casualties, which will reduce our morale, therefore, the negative effect of killing a brother in battle is simply infinitely harmful."

For Zhao Quan, who has been in battle for a long time, he understands such a result, it was like this when he was in the Yellow Turban Army, when there was no fight, everyone followed the brigade to eat and drink, and when they heard that there was a battle, they immediately fled countless times, and finally had to send a group of cronies to escort a group of trembling guys to the battlefield, but that kind of combat effectiveness can be imagined.

"However, we have sharp longbows, powerful trebuchets, things are different, let's talk about our longbow and giant arrows, you see, the normal arrow cluster is half a tael of fine iron, a pound of fine iron costs a hundred yuan, that is to say, an arrow cluster costs more than three cents less than four cents, plus other arrow shafts or something, about an arrow costs twenty cents, but what about our giant arrows, the arrow cluster only rough iron, I talked with the shopkeeper of the iron factory, that is, eighty cents, but our arrow cluster needs two taels, so that is, our arrow cluster is one per ten cents, In addition to our arrow shafts, because we don't need feather glue paint, so the production and craftsmanship requirements are simple, therefore, our giant arrows are fifteen wen, if the usual arrow cluster needs an average of fifty to kill one enemy, (more than) and my giant arrows only need ten, then, killing two enemies requires the life of one of our brothers, then how much do we need? In other words, if we kill an enemy, we need at least 100,000 dollars, and what about us using giant arrows? It only takes 100 Wen, do you think this conversion is appropriate? ”

Everyone was stunned, and almost all of them thought that war could be calculated by price, and that it would be amazing.

"It doesn't matter, if ten doesn't work, I'll have twenty, and if twenty doesn't work, I'll have fifty, for example, the 50,000 catties of rough iron I ordered this time can completely build 400,000 giant arrows, according to the probability, at least 10,000 enemies can be killed, if I invest another 400,000, I can drown the enemy with countless 400,000 pieces, do you think this situation is impossible?"

Although he secretly changed a little concept, it was indeed the truth, and then Lu Peng Shi Ran sat down, looking at the cabinet members who had been shocked by the scene of countless 400,000 giant arrows roaring into the sky, and solemnly educated, "Remember, from now on, war is about steel, technology, and no longer crowd tactics, as long as I have enough steel and the sharpest weapons, I will be invincible in the world." ”

Now, Lu Peng sat in front of Zhuojun City, and continued to instill this truth to the soldiers around him: "What can be solved with material things, it is absolutely not necessary to solve it with the lives of soldiers, this is my war principle, anyway, we are quite rich now." ”

For the lord to measure his life with money like this, the soldiers who are full of accounts not only do not feel that the lord is ruthless, but they all feel warm in their hearts, war is to die, life is precious, it is true to make meritorious contributions and fight for hegemony in the world, but who wants to die in battle.

As a result, Lu Peng's army began to become an engineering team, and a huge civil engineering project was carried out outside the city of Zhuo County.

30,000 horses trapped 10,000 defenders of Zhuo County, in fact, is not very realistic, now Lu Peng waved its civil engineering tradition, first set up 5oo trebuchets in the front, and then deployed hired migrant workers, began to dig trenches along the outside of Zhuo County, surrounded the entire Zhuo County with trenches, and then each city gate sent four thousand people, arranged more longbows and arrows, and used his longbow to use the huge blow advantage of his longbow to block the four city gates and prevent the enemy from coming out.

The 5oo catapult was quickly erected, so Lü Peng ordered the stone bombs to be loaded and began to bombard this section of the wall.

At that time, Yang Feng said very regretfully: "It's really not interesting to consume it like this, this is like Yuyang, a meal of fire oil will be bounced, and we will already pat our butts and go home to sleep." ”

So a group of soldiers around him looked at him like idiots.

There was a specific reason for burning Yuyang at the beginning, and now Zhuoxian County, after the occupation, is going to become your own territory, and if you burn him now, isn't it equivalent to burning your own property?

Yang Feng smiled awkwardly: "Joke, it's just a joke." Then he was bored and took a few people to patrol the city and supervise the work.

Yang Feng came to a man who was digging a trench, and when he saw him holding three bamboo sticks in his mouth, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You really want money and don't want to die, so you dig a trench of three zhang, and I don't want to tire you to death." ”

The man straightened up, took a breath by the way, and replied to the general: "Where can I find such a money-making opportunity for a hundred dollars in a trench?" Isn't this exhausting yet? Even if you are tired to death, you have to earn the money first. ”

Yang Feng laughed: "Okay, okay, but I can tell you, working to die of exhaustion is not within the scope of the pension, and dying of exhaustion is also a vain death." Then he laughed and walked away.
