Chapter 42: Spider-Man
"You might think I'm crazy, but I know exactly what I'm doing. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Jing Ling looked grim and continued: "The soldiers who surrender without a fight are also the good ones. Therefore, the army is attacked, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is to attack the city. The method of siege is a last resort. Therefore, those who make good use of soldiers, the soldiers of the people instead of the war, the cities of the people instead of the attack, and the destruction of the country of the people instead of the long-term. ”
"This tone is the language of the ancient kingdom of the Eastern Soil!" Rakshasa's face changed, and he exclaimed: "These ancient Chinese languages of the Eastern Soil have long been lost, where did you learn them?" ”
"Trust me, when the time comes, I'll tell you all about my experiences." Jing Ling doesn't plan to tell about his crossing at this moment, maybe when the time is right in the future, he will confide in Rakshasa everything, but not now.
"What does this old saying mean?" Rakshasa asked, despite knowing that his brother seemed to have a terrifying background, he believed that Jing Ling would not harm him, as evidenced by the fact that Jing Ling had gone out of his way to save him when they were attacked.
"This is a military proverb, and what I want to reveal by quoting this sentence is that psychological warfare is an indispensable element in conquest."
Psychological warfare? Rakshasa looked puzzled.
"Patch asked you before, what would you do if you were asked to command an army to attack Ice City?" Jing Ling said: "The answer you gave is to put in eight times the number of soldiers of the enemy and prepare a large number of siege equipment. Before the battle began, the two walls inside and outside the ice city were destroyed, and then the army was sent to attack in four directions. If the ice city is not taken on the first day, let the large army repair, stay until night, send 5,000 men to beat drums and feints every hour, let trebuchets and artillery bombard the city indiscriminately, drag the enemy army in the city into a tired division, and then launch a general attack, after breaking the city, occupy the main city road first, and completely annihilate the enemy in the street battle. ”
As soon as Jing Ling finished speaking, Rakshasa showed admiration, he didn't expect Jing Ling to describe the siege tactics he had just told Paqi in such detail.
But he still said kindly: "War is not child's play, and it is not as simple as talking on paper. But you just talked about psychological warfare, and I think my harassment tactics that night were psychological warfare.
"You are right, although Sun Tzu's Art of War is a sacred book of soldiers, it is also necessary to choose the method of arranging troops in light of the actual situation."
The Art of War?
Rakshasa carefully recalled the military books he was familiar with in the Royal Capital Academy, and it seemed that there was no military book called Sun Tzu's Art of War. You must know that the collection of books in the Black Land Royal Capital Academy has reached 300,000 books, which cover many classical art of war, but Rakshasa does not know what Sun Tzu's art of war is.
Perhaps the book has been lost and lost to the long flow of time, and this is the only possibility that Rakshasa can think of.
Jing Ling, who was on the side, said with a solemn face: "If Pache had asked me, I would have told him that I only needed five hundred strong men to win the Ice City!" ”
Rakshasa saw Jing Ling's serious face, and he knew that Jing Ling didn't seem to be joking. "How are you going to take the ice city with five hundred strong men?"
"It's still psychological warfare, but it's just a psychological warfare to mobilize the masses of the people." Jing Ling said: "The Nolan garrison in Ice City is only 5,000 people, and the number of slaves has reached 100,000. Think about it, on a dark and windy night in the moon, the war drums outside the city suddenly sounded, a fire broke out, and the siege army shouted that the 80,000 troops of the black land came to recover the ice city. What will the 100,000 slaves do? ”
"You're saying they're going to take up arms against the Nolans?" Rakshasa asked.
"Maybe, maybe not, but as long as I use psychological warfare, then I will!"
"What's the solution?" Rakshasa was puzzled, and Jing Ling swore frankly that there was a way to make the slaves rebel against the Nolan army, which had to make Rakshasa feel puzzled.
"Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, let alone bullied slaves." Jing Ling said: "Now the 80,000 troops of the Black Land are stationed on the opposite bank of the Rock Gravel City, and the Rock Gravel City across the river and the nearby Ice City have always been on guard against the attack of the 80,000 army of the Black Land. Haven't you ever thought about why the Nolan Army slaughtered tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Rock Gravel City, and sold hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians far away from Rock Gravel City in a very short period of time? ”
Rakshasa said sadly: "That's because the uprising is still continuous after the city is broken, if it is usually suppressed with more blood, but if tens of thousands of enemy regular troops outside the city attack, and the city is not stopped, once the enemy army and the rebel army should be united, the consequences are unimaginable, so the Nolan army simply does not stop, slaughter the soldiers and civilians in the city, and then sell the rest, so that it can not only earn a lot of money by buying slaves to maintain the operation of the army, but also get rid of the rebel army, which is the factor of losing the city, Very cruel and clever tactics indeed. ”
Jing Ling Zhengse said: "Since the defenders of Rock Gravel City did not hesitate to wipe out the entire city by massacring and selling the soldiers and civilians in order to prevent the city from being destroyed, what would the defenders of Ice City do when they faced an attack that might occur at any time from the 80,000 army of the Black Land?" ”
"You're saying they're going to slaughter the city's Yellow slaves!?" Rakshasa looked shocked, but soon he denied the idea. "Ice City is different from Gravel City, Gravel City had been ruled by the Black Land for forty years before the fall, and the laws of the Black Land did not allow the existence of slavery, so Rock Gravel City did not have any slave owner group. Ice City is different, in the past twenty years under Nolan's rule, it has formed a slave-owning class that dares to call out the military, and the Nolan's army will definitely be hindered if it wants to erase the property of the slave-owning class. ”
"This is exactly what I want, at this moment the slaves in the ice city are afraid that the Nolan army will slaughter them, if there are rumors that their masters can't fight the military, they will be slaughtered soon, what do you think those slaves who are forced to death will do?"
"They will definitely rebel against the Nolan Army!" Rakshasa exclaimed: "That's right, as long as the rumors are spread that the Nolan army is coming to slaughter the slaves, then anyone who is about to be killed will do their best to fight for a chance to survive, and all slaves know that if they want to survive, they must either escape from the Nolan army's butcher's knife or fight with the Nolan army." As long as the army of the Black Ground outside the city can attack them, they will be able to save their lives! ”
"That's right! The slaves who have been oppressed for a long time are like volcanoes, and now they are just one point away from bursting their primer. As long as they are given hope, they will revolt one after another, forming an armed force that should not be underestimated. Jing Ling put his hand on Rakshasa's shoulder, leaned forward towards Rakshasa, and said, "Wiki will definitely take advantage of this, even if there are no thousands of Nolan rebels from Fallona attacking the city, Wiki will be able to take the ice city with tourists and slaves in the city." All we need to do is disguise ourselves as a rebel led by Falow, and use Vicky and his visitors to help us strangle the Nolan Army and take the Ice City!
Jing Ling was slightly solemn and continued: "Brother, I need to use those two thousand gold coins to buy five hundred strong slaves and items to create siege momentum, only your half-blood face can be recognized by Nolan merchants. ”
Rakshasa pondered for a moment, then frowned and said: "This is all on paper, even if you successfully take the ice city, you must organize the army and the black ground army to attack the rock gravel city within half a day after you win the city, otherwise the Nolan army of Karl City will only need half a day to come to the city and incorporate the ice city into Nolan's territory again." ”
"You're right, I've thought about all of this, I'm betting on a chance."
"What chance?" Rakshasa Fox said suspiciously.
"I'm going to build an armed force before the Ringing Horse Army attacks Cal City, and when the battle for Karl City is ignited, I'll take Ice City in one fell swoop and join forces with the Black Ground Army to flank Rock Gravel City. Whoever wins the battle of Karl City, my goal has been achieved, and that purpose is to free the slaves of Ice City and raise an armed force of my own. Even if the ice city is eventually recaptured by the Nolan Army, I can take the army with me to pledge allegiance to Patch, and even become an independent guerrilla force. ”
"It's all your personal fantasy! Even if the plan does work, why don't you tell Patch about it, he can definitely carry it out better than you do. Rakshasa said as he looked directly into Jing Ling's eyes.
"Because I'm going to build my own armed forces! Brothers...... Help me! Jing Ling asked for help again.
"No, I managed to get out of this Game of Thrones, and I don't want my brother to get caught up in it." Rakshasa waved away Jing Ling's hand on his shoulder, and said with a questioning look in his eyes, "Why are you willing to risk your life to form your own armed force?" It's about gaining power...... Or money and beauty? ”
Jing Ling clenched his fists and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I am a soldier, and my duty is to defend a land, now is the time for me to throw my head and spill blood, I should not retreat." ”
"Come on, don't talk about yourself as lofty!" Rakshasa waved his hand and sneered: "Soon you will find that power will overwhelm your mind, wine will hollow out your body, and you will be intrigued with a group of people every day, you will be changed your original intention, you will forget your mission, and become a powerful person who is arrogant and indulgent." ”
"Why do you think I'm going to be changed?" Jing Ling asked.
When Rakshasa heard this, a little sadness flashed in his eyes, so he turned his head away and didn't look at Jing Ling, as if he was doing some kind of ideological struggle. "Because I've seen too many of them...... Too much...... Power is sought after and takes the owner away from the fallen world. ”
"I've only heard one sentence, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility!"
Jing Ling's words made Rakshasa's eyes light up, and he asked, "Who said this?" ”
"Spider-Man."
