The court of Shinkoku had too little control over the various cities.

However, this problem has plagued countries for hundreds of thousands of years.

Just like the Jiedu envoy of the Tang Dynasty, in order to resist foreign races, the Jiedu envoy was given a lot of military power, but it was easy to give it out, and it was difficult to take it back, which would cause the Anshi Rebellion.

There are many demon beasts on the Continent of the Gods, and the main role of each city is to defend against the attacks of demon beasts.

This has caused the power of the city lord to be very huge, and some people have proposed the separation of military and government, but in a city, how can they not protect each other and collude with officials.

As a result of the separation of military and government, either the two sides have contradictions, and they are inextricably linked, or the two sides collude together, which is no different from before.

The Seven Princes no longer pinned their hopes on the "deep understanding of righteousness" of the various city lords, but went all the way, while recruiting soldiers, not to mention, under the high salaries of the Seven Princes, there were still many people who were willing to join the army of the Seven Princes.

The main reason is that the civil war has affected the economy of various places to varying degrees, and the number of unemployed people has increased, so in order not to starve to death, they can only go to the army to eat.

It's hard work, but it's better than starvation.

Not every city lord has as many excuses as the Tiannan Mansion city lord, especially when he sees the new recruits recruited by the large group of recruits behind the Seven Princes, they all try to sacrifice thousands to tens of thousands of soldiers.

When I looked at it for the last time, there were 100,000 soldiers of all ages behind the Seven Princes.

100,000, plus 100,000 soldiers each in Luyao City and Wanggui City, adding up to exactly 300,000 people, which is exactly the same as the strength of the Great Prince surrounding Renjin City, but in terms of quality, the soldiers of the Seven Princes are somewhat obvious compared to the Blood Wolf Legion of the Great Prince.

However, the Seventh Prince is still full of confidence, what the eldest prince can't do, he may not be able to do, Chu Jing's talent, the Seven Princes also admire it very much, is the Xiao family as difficult to deal with as Chu Jing? The Seven Princes don't believe it.

When everything was ready, the Seven Princes took the 100,000 troops dressed in neat military uniforms and looked like people, and headed towards Jinning City.

And Zhang San and Li Xi were not idle, they blocked the main passage of Jinning City, of course, even Luyao City and Wanggui City were occupied, and there was no city to go to.

Jinning City is also in a semi-martial law state, except for the powerful and merchants, ordinary people are forbidden to enter and leave the city, but the Xiao family took out a lot of silver taels to distribute to the people who stayed in the city to make up for the losses caused by them during the siege of the city, so it did not cause dissatisfaction among the people.

On this day, Zhang San and Li Xian got together secretly, and they began to think about the siege strategy, and the Seven Princes had gathered 100,000 soldiers in the back, and they came with great fanfare, if the two of them did not try anything during this period, they would definitely be punished.

Zhang San said: "Brother Li, how are you preparing over there?"

"What's the matter, Jinning City is defended by 100,000 people, and I only have 100,000 people, I don't even dare to send too many people over, otherwise let's get together, there are 200,000 people at ease." ”

Li Shi was quite helpless, because there was no progress on his side.

Zhang San said again: "I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about siege equipment, if the Seventh Prince comes and finds that we haven't even prepared, that's bad." ”

"How can I not be prepared, these days, in addition to normal exercises, the soldiers are about to change to become carpenters, and I am tired of listening to those things every day. ”

Li scratched his ears and looked very impatient.

Zhang San was in the same situation, the two discussed it and decided to attack the city first, even if it was a show, they had to fight.

The next day, Zhang San set out from Lu Yao City with 110,000 soldiers, of which 10,000 were the defenders of Lu Yao City, and they were also brought.

Li Xi also brought 110,000 people, and the two did not go directly, but one came to the south city and the other went to the north city.

The two-end attack makes Jinning City unable to take care of it, and perhaps the chance of attacking the city is greater, 0.5 percent plus 0.1 percent.

Jinning City also began to prepare after receiving information about the advance of the two cities.

Xiao Jing said to a pair of children: "I will guard the south, and the north will be handed over to the two of you, Qianfan listens to Yu Ning, she knows more about military affairs than you know, and internal affairs will depend on you in the future." ”

When Xiao Jing praised Xiao Yuning, he didn't forget to comfort Xiao Qianfan.

It's a pity that Xiao Qianfan is still self-aware, knowing the gap with Xiao Yuning, these words sound particularly harsh.

Xiao Yuning didn't know what was going on in her heart, but she didn't have any expression on the surface.

If you don't move on to color, this is the person who can achieve great things.

The city lord of Jinning City existed in name only, and he stayed obediently in the city lord's mansion at this time, and he knew that it was not yet time for him to perform.

The total number of defenders is only 100,000, which is the official data, in fact, there are as many as 130,000, and the extra 30,000 are hung with various official positions such as catching fast and serving officials, in fact, they all participate in military training normally, and their armor and weapons are no different from ordinary soldiers.

Not only that, the huge Xiao family has countless subordinates, and these people are also martial artists who practice martial arts and know kung fu, and their heads-up ability is much stronger than that of soldiers, and there are thousands of people.

The doorman, the side branch, the warriors in Jinning City and the Xiao family are all more or less connected, and it is impossible not to help them when they are in danger.

However, this time, Xiao Jing only brought 50,000 people to defend Nancheng, and Xiao Yuning and Xiao Qianfan only had 50,000 people.

The art of war pays attention to the virtual and the real, how can they handle it all at once

The cards are all revealed.

What's more, if you just defend a city wall, you don't need to be too weak, after all, the position on the city wall is limited, and it is impossible to stand full.

It took a long time for Zhang San and Li Shi's troops to arrive at Jinning City, not because of their slow marching speed, but because the large siege equipment dragged them down.

On Zhang San's side alone, as many as five of the chariots used to hit the city gate were brought in, and there were a few horses pulling the carriages with various parts.

This is the parts of the building car, although the building car is also called a car, it can be moved, but when the height reaches a certain level, the speed of its movement can be imagined, so Zhang San will let people disassemble the building car and pull it over with a horse-drawn carriage.

When Xiao Jing saw such a scene, he couldn't help but open the city gate and rush out.

The soldiers on the other side worked all the way, with a large number of equipment, not even an array, how much they looked down on themselves, so they dared to attack the city like this.

However, Xiao Jing didn't want to leave a handle on people, it was not that he had different intentions for Xinguo, it was just that he was dissatisfied with the Seven Princes, the Seven Princes could not represent Xinguo, and the Xiao family was still loyal to Xinguo.

It was the same with Li Xian's side, and Xiao Yuning did the same, but Xiao Qianfan just saw that the other party's soldiers were twice as many as his side, but he didn't think much about it.

Zhang San and Li Shi's building car began to be built, and by the time the sun was about to set, it had not yet been completed.

Xiao Jing couldn't help but shout loudly in a lion-like voice from the city wall: "Which general is on the other side, can you come out to speak?"

Zhang San didn't know what Xiao Jing meant, but the other party invited, and the soldiers all heard and looked at him, how could he not reply.

He rode a horse and took a few guards to the place where he was a stone's throw in front of Jinning City, and replied loudly: "What can it be said that King Shunping has to say when he sees the last general? You have figured it out, the last general can give a few good words to King Shunping, and His Royal Highness the Seventh will not blame you." ”

Xiao Jing laughed a few times, and said: "Ignorant child, my Xiao family is loyal to the imperial court, how can you be convicted by your little prince, how can I say that I am also a prince, but I am much older than ordinary princes." ”

"Hugh should be rude, His Royal Highness the Seventh is the emperor's favorite and most optimistic prince, if it weren't for the death of the emperor who was too anxious, and the prince of the prison country was the eldest prince, the seventh prince would have been the emperor of Xinguo at this time. Zhang Sanqiang argued.

Xiao Jing was too lazy to talk nonsense with him anymore, the reason why he called him over was just because of the boring relationship, if the other party attacked the city at this time, Xiao Jing could still fight back, but the other party only installed siege equipment and stationed fortifications, and he was not good at letting his subordinates attack, so he was a little aggrieved.

It seems that there will be no war today, and judging by Zhang San's posture, it is impossible to launch an attack at night.

Xiao Jing simply went directly to the bottom of the city tower and instructed the soldiers to wait until the other party had built all the fortifications, assembled the army, and was sure that he was going to attack the city.

The situation in Beicheng is similar, Zhang San and Li Xian just want to make a scene before the arrival of the Seventh Prince, how can they really recklessly order the soldiers to attack the city.

Xiao Yuning simply set up a banquet on the table with Xiao Qianfan, watching the soldiers of Li Xian below busy.

Xiao Qianfan took Xiao Yuning's full wine glass, and asked with some anxiety: "Are those things they built very powerful, it's not good for us to wait like this." ”

Xiao Yuning drank a little wine and ate snacks, without taking Li Shi's soldiers in his eyes at all, and said lightly: "The preparation was prepared a few days ago, just wait now, as for the power of the other party's big guys, it is useful to be useful, after all, it is already very troublesome to make it, how can it still be a waste, but it has no absolute effect on the situation." ”

The biggest advantage of the defending side is not that it is high, but that the other party needs to waste a lot of physical strength to get in, they just need to wait and wait.

The walls are so high, not a person with good physical strength, who is out of breath halfway through climbing, how can he still fight.

If the opponent wants to stand higher than the city wall and shoot arrows, it is just a matter of raising an extra shield, and even wearing a thicker armor can resist the bow and arrow. At least in Xiao Yuning's view, it is simply difficult for the other party to capture Jinning City.

Li Xi saw the two people drinking on the city tower, one was dressed as a son, and the other was about the same, but he could see that it was a woman, and he immediately knew their identities.

Knowing that it was not the head of the Xiao family here, Xiao Jing, the king of Shunping, was a little relieved in his heart.

His task this time is to shoot a few arrows at the city tower on the high building car, kill a few soldiers defending the city, and then guard these siege equipment, waiting for the Seven Princes to come to review.

The first day passed quickly.

At dawn, the city walls were full of soldiers, but they were only standing, and the queue was quite neat, but there was no momentum at all, because they knew that they would not be allowed to attack today, and they only needed to bask in the sun.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With an order, the war between the troops of the Seven Princes and Jinning City was started.

Seeing the sparse bows and arrows shot down from the rushing car, the soldiers defending the city were a little speechless, and what was even more speechless was that because the opponent's height was higher than their own side and the range was a little farther, they could only defend, and they couldn't even fight back.

Seeing the soldiers holding shields or hiding in the corners, Xiao Qianfan was also very speechless.

"What are we going to do? Can't we fight back like this?"

Xiao Yuning was calm as usual, "Aren't you happy that the other party gave us so many arrows for nothing?"

"But being beaten in this way is not a solution. ”

Xiao Qianfan has never suffered a loss, and now this situation makes him very dissatisfied

Meaning.

Xiao Yuning had other ideas, anyway, the power of the bow and arrow falling on the city wall was not great, except for a few unlucky people, it was impossible for anyone to be injured at all, in fact, it could be ignored at all.

When the soldiers are tired of being harassed and can't hold back, it means that the morale is available and they can open the city gates to fight.

Based on Xiao Yuning's understanding of the soldiers under the opponent, if he plays well, 50,000 against 100,000, his own chances of winning are much greater than those on the opposite side.

Just when Xiao Qianfan was overwhelmed, but he didn't have the slightest clue, he suddenly saw the catapult and the bed crossbow placed on the city wall, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, both of which have a much farther range than a bow and arrow, and can definitely hit the people on the city tower.

Xiao Qianfan was happy with his IQ, and hurriedly said to Xiao Yuning: "We can attack them with catapults and bed crossbows. ”

Although this is not a good idea, because bed crossbows and catapults have a useful life, especially in the very underdeveloped mechanical technology of the Shinkoku, these things should have been left for use at the height of the siege.

However, Xiao Yuning really doesn't take those people outside in her eyes, even if it is wasted, it doesn't matter.

She said to Xiao Qianfan: "You can think of it, let the soldiers wear heavy armor, no need to raise a shield, and the catapult should not use stones, directly hit the oil tank filled with oil, project it onto the building car, and then use the bed crossbow to launch rockets and ignite it." ”

Xiao Qianfan didn't expect that he had just thought of the idea, and Xiao Yuning thought about the next steps so thoroughly.

Then there is a war of mutual weapons, but unfortunately the technology on both sides is still in its infancy, and there is no wonderful operation of nuclear weapons to throw weapons into each other.

The situation in Nancheng is different, because there is no relationship with Xiao Qianfan, the soldiers on the city tower hold shields and pick up the arrows shot in from outside, and the other soldiers are resting collectively.

Because Xiao Jing made a decision, he was going to rob the camp tonight.

Now that the Seven Princes have started a war in Jinning City, the time for him to fight back has officially arrived, and if he can win a big victory, maybe the situation in the entire Xinguo will undergo new changes.

The first day ended quickly, and compared to Li Xian's side, which destroyed three building cars and two that needed to be repaired, Zhang San's side did not change.

The two of them separated from the north and south of Jinning City, and the communication was very inconvenient, so Li Xi sent three messengers to Zhang San's army in the afternoon of the same day, telling him that he had no way to attack tomorrow.

Xiao Jing also sent a message here, but it was indeed much earlier.

When Xiao Qianfan commanded the trebuchet, the ballista and the building carts outside, 30,000 soldiers quietly descended the city wall under the command of Xiao Yuning, and arrived directly in the south from the city.

Three watches.

Xiao Jing personally led the troops, the gate of Nancheng was opened, 10,000 cavalry were the first formation, and 70,000 infantry were slaughtered towards Zhang San's camp.

Zhang San's camp was not too far away, because the building car was still outside, and they had to stay to defend, which just brought convenience to the camp.

Hearing the report from the spies outside, Zhang San walked out of the account and saw torches all the way to the city gate, and tens of thousands of soldiers rushed towards him.

Zhang San scolded angrily: "His grandmother is a bear, Lao Tzu is just playing with you, your old boy is really playing, do you not pity the lives of soldiers so much?"

"Hurry! Everyone's ready to fight!"

After all, it is 110,000 people, Zhang San still has the confidence, he doesn't think he will lose, at least he won't lose too badly, even if the other party exchanges one for two, 100,000 people are enough to fight the 50,000 soldiers in Jinning City.

After the defenders of Jinning City are greatly reduced, see how they still defend the army brought by the Seven Princes.

Zhang San had a good idea, but the reality was very cruel, because the casualty ratio was not two to one.

These soldiers were still asleep, and because there were too many people, the camp did not have very good fortifications, and under the sudden attack of 80,000 soldiers in Jinning City, they suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

That night, Zhang San's troops were defeated, and he escaped by night.

After dawn, Zhang San found that there were still many people around him, and he didn't dare to chase after him because of the night.

"Go and count the number of people left. ”

He instructed a soldier, and soon got a statistic.

"Five thousand! We only have five thousand people here?!"

The soldier reported: "The situation was critical at that time, and many people were separated, but some soldiers saw with their own eyes the defeat of the soldiers of the capital brigade towards the north, which should be in the direction of General Lee." ”

"Oh, that's good. Zhang San took a long breath, if the 110,000 people were wiped out in one night, then he could only turn his head back to see the Seventh Prince.

"What about the casualties of the other side?"

How do the soldiers know about this question, Zhang San's face was unhappy, in the battle last night, his own side had almost no resistance, and the difference between the enemy and our battle losses should be very large.

Zhang San also thought of a question, why did Nancheng suddenly have so many soldiers, this is definitely not just 50,000 people, there must be.

The casualties were too heavy, Zhang San had no choice but to return to Lu Yao City with the remnants first, where he also found a surprise, there were 20,000 remnants of the army back to Lu Yao City first.

According to them, after seeing the situation, the defenders of Lu Yao City were the first to start running in the direction of Lu Yao City, and they also led the others to follow.

Zhang San didn't know whether to cry or laugh, if these people resisted bravely, they might not be defeated, or they might be wiped out.

Now, it can only be said that Zhang San still has the chips to participate in this war game.

25,000 people, I don't know how many others retreated to Li Shi's military camp?
