Chapter 377: Lack of Soldiers
"It is expected that the base camp of the Western Frontier Army has suffered a big loss, and it will definitely not be willing to swallow its anger and bear it silently, so you should arrange the city defense as soon as possible. ”
Ye Xing stood up and said to the people in front of him, at the moment, his subordinates did lack talents who were enough to completely stand alone, but in terms of the current situation, it was enough.
"I'll take the order. ”
Li Mu and the others gave up their hands one after another, and then exited the hall and left in all directions.
In this night raid, in general, they still earned it, and the reason why they felt that it was a little unsupportable was that they had no source to replenish their troops.
and the reason why the realm of soldiers in their hands is much higher and stronger than other forces.
"Yesterday night's battle, burned the opponent's grain and grass countless weights, I think it has already made the other party hurt his muscles and bones, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will choose to attack the city or retreat, the city defense has been arranged, but the night attack can not be put down. ”
Ye Xing looked at Gu Xun on the side and said.
"Are you still unwilling to give up?" Gu Xun was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Ye Xing's expression as if he was fake, and then thought about it.
"In that case, I must be prepared for the next attack on the camp and strive to reduce the losses, but after last night's trouble, it is estimated that the Western Army camp will not be so good again. Gu Xun bowed slightly and bowed.
"Just make a plan for the night attack, and I'll personally lead the team this time. The corners of Ye Xing's mouth hooked, full of anticipation.
The first night raid on the camp, although it lost 700 men, was rewarded more than the 7,000 killed in the frontal battle.
What's more, the real purpose of the night raid is to undermine the morale of the Western Army, and to disrupt the rest of the Western Army and destroy its food and grass as the main tasks.
The Weishui army has too few troops, not to mention that there is no replenishment of troops, although it can hold on to the city for a long time, but do you want to develop if you hold on like that?
If it drags on for a long time, what if the Western Frontier Army sends another 200,000 troops?
Is it possible to stay in this fortress for the rest of your life? Therefore, it is very important to rob the camp, and only after robbing the camp as much as possible can we destroy the soldiers of the Western Frontier Army in one fell swoop.
"Don't be, Childe, you go out again, in case there is anything, I'm afraid this Youyuan Fortress will be self-defeating. ”
Gu Xun smiled bitterly, but he also knew what Ye Xing had decided, and it was difficult for him to persuade him.
Moreover, if Ye Xing led the team to rob the camp, it would not be a big problem, on the contrary, it would better motivate the morale of the soldiers of the Weishui Army.
Therefore, Gu Xun did not dissuade him, but resigned himself to the order to make preparations, and there was actually nothing to prepare for the night raid and robbery camp, the main thing was that the light war knives and armor needed to be replaced, and at the same time, another soldier and horse could be prepared.
Walking out of the city tower and looking at the soldiers of the Weishui Army standing like a benchmark on the city wall in front of him, Ye Xing was slightly stunned.
"If you want to deal with the Western Frontier Army outside as soon as possible, apart from robbing the camp to make the other party crazy, there must be other ways, but it is completely impossible to defend it. ”
Ye Xing thought to himself, feeling the breeze, but an idea came to his mind.
The Western Frontier Army has a large number of troops, and it is continuous, although many of the Western Frontier Army have been wiped out by these years of fighting.
But if the Western Army is redeployed and reinforced, it will enter a war of attrition.
And the war of attrition was extremely unfavorable for Ye Xing's Youyuan Fortress, so Ye Xing categorically couldn't let the situation develop in this direction.
After a flash, although Ye Xing's subordinates also had more than 10,000 troops directly under him, they also obtained a strong and easy-to-defend fortress city.
But compared to other forces, it is far from enough, and at present, Ye Xing's power can only be regarded as a small prince at best.
But compared to this, Ye Xing has a unique advantage that other forces do not have, and that is the name of the son of his dynasty.
Therefore, Ye Xing only needs to make this name and make others recognize it, so that he can use it as a basis to develop his command.
It's just that this trick is also very risky, one of which is that the thoughts of various forces are not clear, although this world still exists in the name of the Nine Colored Dynasty.
But thinking about it, there are not many forces willing to respect it from the bottom of their hearts, and the reason why they can still maintain the name of the Nine Colored Dynasty is mainly because of the four realms.
But recently, the Western Realm has been a little restless, so Ye Xing is not very sure if he can use this name.
Of course, it is useful, Ye Xing also needs to consider whether he has enough strength to resist the impact after the incident, if someone attacks on a large scale, can he withstand it?
So Ye Xing was not in a hurry, the main problem at the moment was the threat of the Western Territory Army, and the expansion of troops was the most important.
So no matter what, at the moment, we still need to deal with the Western Territory army outside first, so that we can use Youyuan Fortress as a starting point to conquer the world.
At present, you have enough food and grass in the fortress, and even have a surplus.
Moreover, the cultivation of the fortress had already begun, and the grain in the first quarter had matured, enough to feed 10,000 soldiers for a year, and it was completely sufficient for self-sufficiency.
Moreover, the gold coins and money in the warehouse are completely enough to be squandered, and the soldiers under his command are fully armed, and even the luxury of letting the soldiers under his command have three armors, a sword and a dagger, a spear and a short crossbow.
It's just that the war horse is not yet there, so it will have to wait until later.
Moreover, the channels for obtaining weapons have already been arranged, and as long as the population is obtained, training can be carried out immediately, and then a new army can be formed.
Although at present, Youyuan Fortress is still dominated by the Weishui Army, and there is only one Weishui Army in Youyuan Fortress.
However, the number of your source army has already been put on the agenda, and as long as the enemy in front of you is solved, you can start recruiting and training, and then equip it into an army to fight abroad.
After inspecting the main gate city wall, there is only one Weishui soldier every ten meters, which is enough to see the length and width of the city wall and the scarcity of Weishui soldiers.
Therefore, it can also be seen why the soldiers under his command will be a little disagreeing to go out at night again.
After all, the Weishui army had to defend not only the fortress walls, but also the passages within the city walls, as well as the residences in the city.
The fortress is too huge, there are several city walls, and although more than 10,000 soldiers look like a lot, they are a little stretched thin when they are placed in your source fortress.
Moreover, there is a need for patrolling soldiers in the city, plus soldiers who are trained on the school field and assist the people in farming, so it is even more scarce.
Therefore, the Weishui Army killed 700 people in a one-time battle, how can it not make a cadre and others feel sad, after all, there is no way to replenish the source of troops at the moment, and if one dies, it is really one less.
Time flew by, and in the evening, on the platform of the command camp of the Western Frontier Army, Shen Chi was lying on the reclining chair, looking gloomily at the Western Frontier Army camp in the distance.
