The war came a day later than expected, but the difference was not very large, but it gave Miri more time to prepare, but Dior smelled something unusual from it.

According to common sense, Naraku is in such a hurry to raise troops and form an alliance and attack with Ghost Head City, the sooner the battle starts, the more beneficial it will be for them.

So why would they delay for a day?

Is it preparing some means to win?

Dio didn't know, but it still didn't shake his heart.

He already has the confidence to face any unexpected event, and he doesn't have to care about Naraku's tricks at all.

Miri sent a letter in the name of Dior, agreeing to fight outside the city the next day to avoid too many losses to the people in the town.

The enemy army is not in a hurry to attack, they are tired from marching, and if they are too anxious, they will take the initiative to find death.

So they began to build watchtowers and camps, make fires and cook, and the soldiers were ready to rest and wait for battle.

At the same time, they sent a small part of their troops to the nearby villages, collected life-saving money, and incited the countrymen, telling them that Wuchuan City was about to be gone, and what was going on.

Generally speaking, the battle will not affect the villages, as long as the life saving money is paid, there is a high probability that everything will be safe.

No wars in spring and autumn, no wars on rainy days, this is the default rule.

It is not a last resort, and it does not affect villages everywhere, and it is also the default rule.

If you really want to slaughter the village, it will completely destroy a living force, and it will form a feud with Wuchuan Kingdom.

It's easy to get revenge, if you destroy one of my villages, I'll destroy one of your villages.

So repeatedly, both sides were defeated, but other people took advantage of it.

And if the spread is too wide, there will be less flow of merchants, resulting in the lack of circulation of commerce.

Only some guys who want money and don't want to die will carefully circle around the two countries.

The enemy army was also aware of its concerns, and although it was an alliance between the two countries, it only levied a life-saving money, which was to prevent resistance from the villages in various places and increase unnecessary trouble.

The next morning, the conch was loud, the weather was a little gloomy, it was still hot, but fortunately the sun was not so poisonous.

It was a good day for the war.

The two armies faced each other, the enemy army was 6,000, and the real combat strength was about 3,000 people, and the others were auxiliaries.

As for Wuchuan City, the city's contribution is about 2,000, and the remaining more than 1,000 people are peasants and wandering warriors from the nearest village and Wuchuan City.

With a little auxiliaries, it's almost 4,000, and the real combatable members are about 2,000.

It is impossible to dispatch them all, and Wuchuan City has to stay behind to avoid accidents.

The same is true for the enemy army, which is estimated to have left a little force in their home country, which can leave them enough time to react.

And these peasant soldiers don't look like they are playing soy sauce, but in fact, the force value is not too bad.

In these years, it is not ordinary people who can go to the battlefield.

A set of armor is sufficient, that is, the armor used by Ashigaru can't afford it, how can it be ashigaru?

Do you take a bamboo gun and go to war?

Therefore, most of the people who can afford armor are those who are richer than other village names.

According to the world's cost-effectiveness, it has been considered to be out of the most basic poverty line.

At least I paid my taxes, and I still had a surplus, and I could afford the money for armor and maintenance.

Therefore, if you want to go to the battlefield, it is the most basic to bring your own armor, otherwise you will not be able to rank up for death.

But even if you send it to death, you won't die much.

In the era of cold weapons, the number of ordinary soldiers who died in a tenth would probably collapse, and this was the limit of what morale could bear.

The reason is not only the training and command of the army, but the most important thing is the composition of the army.

Because of logistical needs, the proportion of soldiers in an army who are really able to face the enemy directly will not exceed one-third, and the remaining two-thirds are not so much soldiers as coolies, and there is not much actual combat effectiveness at all.

Do hard work, such as building camps, pulling food, helping soldiers carry equipment, lighting fires and cooking, etc., or strong momentum, chasing deserters, but it is not okay to face hard.

The reason why half of the troops that can be fought now is entirely because the place is too small, and the logistical pressure on the two armies is not so great.

Except for the time spent marching and waiting for the right moment, the actual situation is mostly a quick battle, and once it breaks out, it will end quickly.

And after three or four days, you can travel between the two countries.

Therefore, as long as three or four hundred people die, as soon as the morale collapses, the victory or defeat is basically decided, and there is no need to worry too much about logistics.

In a mysterious country, if it is an expedition, the ratio is even more terrifying, and the real combat power and auxiliaries are roughly one to ten.

People eat horses and chew, and the resources they need are really difficult to afford, and there are not many auxiliaries, so they can't fight at all.

It sounds beautiful to feed the war with war, but it is actually very difficult to do.

If one tenth of the number of people dies, the consequence is not as simple as collapse, this is a total annihilation in a general sense.

Because this one-tenth of the combatable soldiers has been wiped out in the frontal conflict, the remaining miscellaneous soldiers, in the face of the regular army, have no power to resist.

If you dare to resist, killing them will only be a little harder than killing a pig.

And Wuchuan Chende naturally will not let these peasant soldiers stand in front of the enemy, and most of them will be assigned to the two wings and the same peasant soldiers on the opposite side to play soy sauce together according to the situation, so as to avoid the main force being harassed.

Do not seek merit, but seek no fault.

However, these peasant soldiers and wandering samurai cannot all be regarded as soy sauce fighters, and there are always some people who are desperate for the future.

If you want to go from the bottom to the middle, you have to have merit.

It's a pity that there are too few such people and they are not conspicuous in the crowd at all.

Most of them are quietly fishing, under the banner, and the pace of movement is extremely slow.

As for the upper class, don't think about the small credit, at least you have to win a game to have a chance.

One of the only two positions to become the upper class is to have its own territory.

For example, mastering a village or something.

The other is to become transcendent.

With extraordinary force, even if you don't have a territory, you are still superior.

Wuchuan City pulled out two cannons, fired a few cannons, pretended to be pretended, and pulled them back.

The same is true for the armies of Renjian City and Ghost Head City, which do not even have the meaning of deterrence.

After firing a few shots at each other, they started shooting arrows.

This old cannon, which is still their treasure, was purchased from foreign merchants.

But ammunition is limited and cannot be wasted.

Another major reason is that the shells are blocked.

In this situation, the transcendent played a role in avoiding casualties and confusion in the army.

A weak transcendent may be able to be killed by a cold arrow, but with preparation, it is still possible to block a few shellings with a combined force.

But that's about it.

After both sides have exhausted the power of the transcendental, it is a temptation to shoot arrows.

But the arrows are also resources, and they ask for money, so after two rounds, they also turned off.

This time, there was no transcendent attack, but with a shield, most of them were blocked.

Except for a few unlucky guys who were shot wounded, it didn't make much sense at all.
