Chapter 218: Attacking the Qin Army
"A bunch of waste, you are all young and strong people, it is a good time to make meritorious contributions, His Royal Highness Chitose will become the emperor of the world in the future, only who can make meritorious contributions, then it is possible to become the future father of the world, that is, it is normal to be crowned king and marquis, Wang San, what is your goal?"
Chang Yuchun suddenly yelled at an ordinary soldier standing beside him.
"General, my goal is to become the Marquis of Guannei of the 100 households in Shiyi!"
The other party replied loudly.
"See? He is now an inconspicuous soldier like all of you, but his goal is the Marquis of Guannai, as long as he establishes meritorious deeds, this goal is too easy, not to mention the Marquis of Guannai of 100 households in Shiyi, or the Marquis of Wanhu in 10,000 households in Shiyi......... Which of you wants to be like him? ”
Chang Yuchun's speech is very inflammatory, this "speech" is prepared by Liu Yuetian for him, for the control of people's hearts, there is no one in the world who is more clever than Liu Yuetian, in fact, it is also the case, now the army has begun to implement the meritorious system, set up ten commanders, centurions, captains, generals, every time you capture or kill an enemy will get meritorious service, as long as there is enough meritorious service can be promoted, the corresponding military salary will also be greatly improved, even if you do not have the ability to command the army, as long as you dare to kill, there will be a great opportunity to improve.
If you are injured or killed, your family will also receive a generous pension, although no one wants to die, but this pension system will also make the soldiers feel at ease, no worries, and they are full of confidence after such a long time of training, coupled with their invulnerable armor.
Chang Yuchun's words immediately made the blood of this group of people boil, right! Liu Yuetian is now just a king of Tianshui County, and the commander is only tens of thousands of people, if he fights for the world, these people are far from enough, he will have a million troops in the future, and then he will naturally need countless generals and captains, why are others generals and I not? Where am I from others?
"General, you are right, we are all men, we all have the ambition to make meritorious contributions, from now on, we will follow the two generals to fight to kill the enemy, and in the future, we will also make a hundred households, right?"
"Yes, we're all following the general!"
Everyone shouted.
"Okay, then listen to my orders, and take action immediately, three days later, we will attack the two towns of Longchuan in the south, this is our first big battle, and it is also a good opportunity for you to make contributions!"
Fifty miles away from Beidi Town is Nanfeng Town, and then thirty miles to the north is Longchuan Town, when Wang Jian left Tianshui to lead two thousand soldiers to occupy two towns, and later Liu Yuan's family was escorted to Daqin, the King of Qin did not dispose of Liu Yuan, but let him serve as a general, Wang Jian was also punished, the official was demoted one level and transferred back to Daqin, and the general who guarded the two towns was named Chen Lie.
At the beginning, Wang Jian failed to attack Tianshui with 5,000 elite soldiers, and the whole Qin State was in an uproar when they heard that the other party was defeated by a hairy child who had just become an adult, especially Chen Lie, who was dissatisfied with Wang Qian's rapid promotion, so he continued to criticize him, and finally let Wang Jian be demoted by one level.
So the king of Qin sent Chen Lie into the two towns and ordered him to take Tianshui.
Chen Lie didn't take Liu Yuetian in his eyes at all, and immediately prepared to take the initiative to attack after entering Tianshui, but he soon discovered the problem.
First of all, in terms of terrain, the three towns of Tianshui are the barrier of Tianshui City, once there is a war with Tianshui, the three towns are connected as one can be horns for each other to let the enemy take the first place, which is mainly Tianshui, even if the three towns are lost, as long as Tianshui is still in hand, the city can be fortified, because the three towns themselves are not in danger to defend, the city wall is not high, and the population is small.
The two towns occupied by Chen Lie are like two duckweed hanging out from the topography, it would be good to be able to hold them, if they attacked, they must be taken in a very short time, and there will be a lack of backup in more than five days.
If this Liu Yuetian is just a young man who doesn't know the world, Chen Lie also has hope of winning, but he personally went to Tianshui City to investigate, and immediately wilted after seeing Shi Le and Chang Yuchun's methods of training soldiers, the level of these two people's training soldiers is definitely not worse than that of the Qin army, and the soldiers are full of morale, and there is no riot in Tianshui City, he has no confidence to defeat the other party at all.
Fortunately, Liu Yuetian didn't move, Chen Lie's heart was temporarily relaxed, and he wanted to wait for the opportunity to sneak attack the other party, but in the next time, the people of the two towns began to flee continuously, more than a dozen households today, hundreds of households tomorrow, and more than a thousand people fled in less than a month, and the people of Qin were like beasts in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, and no one wanted to become the people under the rule of Qin.
Chen Lie was furious, who would grow grain without the people? So immediately sent troops to block the entire city tightly, and then, when Liu Yuetian's agricultural tax merchant said that the policy came out, the people in the two towns were almost crazy, some dug tunnels to escape, some pretended to be dead and left through the funeral, in short, in a few months, fifty percent of the people fled from the two towns.
It can be said that Chen Lie is more bitter than Fu Jian now, and he wants to go to Tianshui to attack! can see that he only has 3,000 soldiers when he is full, and they are all infantry, because a large number of horses were captured by Liu Yuetian when he attacked Tianshui.
There is not much food left, and the people in the city do not have much food, so if they want to eat, they can only transport it from Daqin, but the nearest city to Daqin is also thousands of miles away, so it is not easy to transport grain!
Therefore, even if the Qin army was disciplined, there was not enough food, and each was sluggish.
"I didn't expect this Tianshui to be so difficult, you know, I didn't take the initiative to come here at the beginning, and now it's hard to ride a tiger, it's really unlucky."
Chen Lie is like an ant on a hot pot fidgeting every day, wanting to fight, but his strength is not enough, and once he moves, there is almost no possibility of winning.
If you don't fight, it's the spring plowing season, but there are not many farmers left in the city, and no one will give them land.
What to do? Chen Lie couldn't think of any way!
"General, the big thing is not good, Tianshui has sent five thousand elite soldiers, and now the troops are coming to the city!"
Suddenly, spies came to report.
"What? Is it coming? Okay, great, get ready for battle right away! ”
Chen Lie didn't dare to attack, because with his three thousand men and horses, he couldn't attack a heavily defended city, and if the other party didn't attack, it showed that he was going to trap him, this trick seemed stupid, but it was the most effective way now, but now that the other party took the initiative to attack, his men and horses were more than enough to defend the city, as long as he held the city and then came back a few times, the situation would be broken, and then there would be a chance to fight back.
The Qin soldiers were strictly disciplined, and those who defended the city defended the city, and those who were ready to sneak attack were also prepared.
