The news that Ma Chao and Xue Rengui had annihilated the 100,000 troops under the command of Galahad soon reached Xiao Chen's ears. Although he couldn't block Galahad, he accidentally slipped away. In this regard, although Xiao Chen was very angry in his heart, he was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the two of them wasted a lot of time, and also lost 30,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, but only wiped out 100,000 horses under Galahad. However, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and the reward that deserves must be given. After all, the two of them were also 100,000 horses who annihilated the enemy.

Even though the elimination of 100,000 in the history of the Beichen Army's war is very small, but now that the world has changed, 100,000 people is also a great loss to the country where the sun never sets. Now that the game has been going on for five years, most of the various functional systems inside the game have been modernized. In particular, the changes in the output of the fields have made everyone unable to raise an army of millions at all. Even in the Beichen Kingdom, Xiao Chen planned to start a disarmament plan after the end of this expansion war. It is really impossible to raise it, and the output of grain that only matures in half a year directly affects all other aspects of society.

The first thing that will be affected is the tax issue, and Beichen now has more than 50 million mu of fertile land in China, and if we add the Xilong Territory that is about to be occupied, it is believed that it will not be a problem to reach 80 million mu of land at the development site. With so much land, it is enough for Beichen to receive a lot of taxes. However, now that the game has been reformed, the original monthly food tax has directly become semi-annual, and the income has been reduced by more than half. Second, after the annual grain output is drastically reduced, it is natural that the people in the country will not have enough to eat. Especially in Beichen Kingdom, up to now, there are at least 20 or 30 million people who have no land to cultivate. They are likely to become the source of turmoil in Beichen Kingdom, and Xiao Chen is also under this pressure, so he has to continue to overspend his national strength to expand his territory.

Then there is the problem that the income of the people in the fields is less, and naturally the rest of the expenses will be greatly reduced. This will be a great blow to the economic boom that has just emerged in Beichen. Most of the merchants of the Beichen Kingdom have not yet gone abroad, only those imperial merchants and the large chambers of commerce of the imperial court components have gone abroad to start trade between countries. Most of the businessmen and workshops are targeting tens of millions of domestic consumers. Originally, the consumption of tens of millions of people in Beichen will definitely make most of the merchants in Beichen gradually develop, and finally after the domestic economy is full, they will definitely go abroad.

Now it is good that the people of the country have less harvest in the fields, and naturally they will receive less money. Without money, who would be idle and buy so many goods. As a result, many small and medium-sized businessmen in the country, as well as workshops that manufacture everyday necessities, have been severely hit. At the beginning, it almost destroyed the weak national enterprises in the country. Fortunately, Xiao Chen won the battle in Shalu Country and brought back a large amount of money, allowing Xun Yu to support those national workshops in time, so that Xiao Chen could continue to fight.

The last thing to be affected is the army, which used to be able to use the game's system to hoard a large amount of food and grass, but also to maintain an army of millions. But not now, don't look at how arrogant the more than 10 million Beichen Army is now, in fact, Xun Yu has already begun to reduce troops in China after receiving Xiao Chen's order. Now that the game reform has only started for a few months, everyone still has a lot of food in stock, and they can carry it for a while. Wait for two years and see, damn it, if anyone can still maintain an army of five million, it can almost be said to be invincible.

That's right, now Xiao Chen plans to reduce the existing army of nine million to three million by the end of this year. The previous battle also made Xiao Chen discover a point, it is still more expensive than soldiers. Just like in the Erbuna River, if the Beichen Army only had two million elite troops, Xiao Chen would directly let the sailor lead the army across the river, where would there be a situation where two million were flooded by the Sun Never Sets. As for the garbage in Shalu Country, the elite troops in the Beichen Army didn't pay attention to it at all.

After making up the plan to disarm to one-third of the current one, Xiao Chen no longer considered it. For now, let's set a number first, and wait until I have time to discuss it with Yue Fei and the others. Perhaps, under the pressure of the external environment, the Beichen Army may retain more troops.

As soon as Xiao Chen finished thinking about something, Yue Fei walked in and said, "The last general will see the king!" ”

"Pengju doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly!" After Xiao Chen saw Yue Fei coming, he immediately said.

"I don't know if the king is coming, what's the matter?" Yue Fei asked.

Xiao Chen casually handed the battle report from Xue Rengui in his hand to Yue Fei and said, "Look at it, Rengui and Meng Qi still haven't caught Galahad!" ”

Yue Fei had just received the battle report, and before he could take a look, he was shocked by Xiao Chen's words. With a puzzled face, he said: "Impossible, 100,000 cavalry from the north and south, can it still be run away by hundreds of thousands of infantry?" ”

Xiao Chen smiled helplessly and said, "Pengju, let's take a look at the battle report first, I really can't understand how Galahad, a barbarian, is so smart!" ”

Yue Fei opened the battle report in confusion, looked at it carefully, and immediately frowned. Xue Rengui said very clearly in the battle report that Galahad stayed under Ma Chao's nose for two days before the siege was encircled. Then take advantage of the fact that Ma Chao has few troops in his hands, and the reconnaissance cavalry cannot fully cover the Galahad battalion. It took two days to take advantage of the night to break up the 100,000 army and escape from Ma Chao's sight. And Xue Rengui thought that Galahad must have known that he was surrounded, and he planned to fight with him with the heart of death. So he didn't care, and only laid out the scout horses in front of him along the way, and there were no scout horses around him, so that Galahad took the opportunity to escape.

The more Yue Fei looked, the more troublesome he felt about this Galahad, because this person was too good at improvising. And Galahad's plan always makes people jump in, and by the time they find out, it's too late. From ambushing Luo Cheng before to setting fire to the city, he almost killed Ma Chao on the battlefield. and now miraculously jumping out of the encirclement of 100,000 cavalry, all of which show the resourcefulness of Galahad.

Of course, Yue Fei only paid attention to Galahad, and was not threatened by this person. After all, Yue Fei was still confident that he would defeat Galahad. The various military techniques he learned are not comparable to those of Galahad, and this is also the biggest gap between Chinese generals and foreign generals.

The 5,000-year history of warfare of the Chinese nation has given birth to countless intrigues and good schemes. Countless people have paid the price of blood to thoroughly publicize these good policies. After that, there were countless military books and art of war that were handed down to the world to nourish future generations. By the time of the Song Dynasty, almost Chinese military books had become a special system, and all the famous military books had been almost concentrated on books. After the Song Dynasty, there were not many particularly famous military books at all, and most of all the good strategies were recorded in the military books. The only difference is that later generations will synthesize these many schemes, making it more difficult for the enemy to crack.

It was not until Mao Taizu of this dynasty began to show his talent that one of the most powerful war tactics in Chinese history appeared - guerrilla warfare. This battle can be said to be specially prepared for the weak to defeat the strong, especially in the hands of Taizu, which is even more superb. Didn't you see that many weak and small countries used guerrilla warfare during World War II, but none of them could do it like Taizu. Even after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Vietnam learned from Taizu and used guerrilla warfare to defend against the invasion of the world's major powers. However, in the end, they dared to shout at the master, and the final result is no longer describeable.

Grandpa Tai has played guerrilla warfare to the fullest, and the People's Liberation Army has regarded guerrilla warfare as a housekeeping skill. Vietnam still dares to use guerrilla warfare to play with the People's Liberation Army, but I really don't know how to describe it except to die.

"My lord, what if Galahad fled, now our army has one more day's journey and will reach the city of Silon. When the time comes, Galahad will still be surrounded by us, and I don't believe he will be able to run away this time! Yue Fei said indifferently, Galahad really couldn't attract the attention of the military gods who had influenced China for thousands of years.

Xiao Chen listened to Yue Fei's words, and he also felt very reasonable. Galahad fled, and could only flee to the city of Silon. Let him flee directly to Els or Gran, he doesn't have the courage to do so. You must know that it is not terrible to lose a battle, and it is not terrible to lose a soldier and lose a general. But Xilong City has not yet fallen, and the main general will run away without a trace, which is the most terrifying. Therefore, this guy Galahad is definitely in Xilong City, and he can't escape his Five Finger Mountain.

"Okay, pass the order! The army set out an hour later and besieged the city of Xilong. This time, I don't believe that the two million army will not be able to block Xilong City! ”

"No! This will be arranged! “

In less than two hours, Xiao Chen appeared in the marching army in golden armor. The luxurious king's chariot, the bright red brocade cloth and the banner completely covered the top of the chariot. And the more domineering Beichen national flag with a red background and nine dragon flags stood in front of the car, showing its teeth and dancing in the breeze.

Before and after the chariot, all of them were densely packed with troops, red armor, sharp weapons, and flags covering the sky and the sun, and the entire army was extremely spectacular.

This army was composed of two million soldiers led by Xiao Chen and Yue Fei personally, and the remaining 200,000 elite infantry were all in the queue. The rest is 600,000 people under the leadership of Xue Rengui. After defeating the Galahad camp, they attacked the city and plundered the city. There was also a force of 300,000 people, led by Zhang Han, who followed Ma Chao's ass all the way to collect the city. However, because the speed gap between the cavalry and the infantry was too large, when the Ma Chaoda army was burned, Zhang Han was still hundreds of miles away.

The three-way army came out together, and I believe that soon, the entire Xilong territory of the country where the sun never sets will be able to fall into the arms of the Beichen country.

After a day's march and half a day's march, the army of two million came to Xilong City twenty miles away. Subsequently, Xiao Chen sent a large army to besiege the city in all directions, completely blocking Xilong City. However, these do not seem to have any problems with the enemy defenders in Xilong City. When the Beichen army arrived, the people within a radius of a hundred miles of the entire Xilong City had all been concentrated in the city. Although a lot of grain had been shipped to the city of Wintier in the city, it was not a problem at all to feed the more than two million people in the city and hundreds of miles outside the city.

You must know that in order to resist the invasion of Beichen Kingdom, the country of the sun never sets has hoarded 20 million stones of grain and grass in Xilong and Gran, of which 15 million stones are in Xilong. As the main city of Xilong, Xilong City has 10 million stone of grain, and Wentil City also has 5 million stone of grain. However, now the five million stones of Wentir City have not been consumed by one-tenth, and they have all been taken by the Beichen Army.

And there are still 10 million stone grain in Xilong City, which can feed more than 500,000 troops and 2 million people, which is simply as easy as a hand. It can be said that as long as there are no accidents, two years after Xilong City blocked the Beichen Army, perhaps the food will be consumed. However, this is just a whim, and if you want to talk about accidents, there are the most accidents in the war.

The city had enough food, grass and other supplies, plus 500,000 troops and 2 million civilians. This is also fortunate that Xilong City has been expanded before, otherwise it would not even be able to squeeze people now. It's better now, at least squeeze in, everyone is still shaking and can have a place to sleep. And the grain, grass and other materials are naturally all placed in the prepared underground warehouse. First, it can avoid being discovered by the Beichen Army and burning grain and grass. Second, in an emergency, the army was able to defend the inner city above the underground warehouse and continue to resist the Beichen army.

It can be said that now that Xilong City is fully prepared, just wait for the Beichen Army to come over, sneak two well, and see who is more powerful.

Now that Xiao Chen is coming with a large army, the defenders in the city are only excited and indignant, as for being afraid, it is simply impossible. Although the Beichen Army has been famous for a long time, the soldiers of the country where the sun never sets, and they do not think that their own people are inferior to the Beichen Army.
