PS: Ask for recommendations, ask for collections! Thank you for the tip of 'Smoke' and 'Xiandao 2 Pots'!

"General Yang, Li Mi is here this time, and the person who came is not good!" The head of Xiangyang City looked at the camp tent in the distance below the city and said in a deep voice.

"Wagangzhai, how can you come in a friendly way?" The other, who was obviously much older, touched his long beard and said with a smile.

"General Yang is in a good mood, and he is worthy of being an old and serious person as the landlord himself said." The man who spoke first couldn't help but admire.

"General Zhang, do you know that Xiangyang has not experienced such a battle for many years since the landlord killed Qian Duguan, who was supported by the Yin Kwai faction, which is actually a great sorrow for my generation of sergeants, and the landlord's reputation is too great." General Yang's eyes couldn't help but be a little gloomy, but he quickly cheered up.

"I'm here, I've been stationed for several years, and the most I can do in training can only kill bandits and the like, and I finally have a chance to fight, which is actually quite satisfying."

"Besides, under the rule of the landlord, the soldiers are very well fed, and there is a method of military training, coupled with the martial arts used in the military road taught by the landlord, our soldiers can be said to be rare soldiers in the world's strong army."

"And each of them has a high momentum, has the spirit of protecting the family and defending the country, and understands why they are fighting, which can be said to be the best of the people." General Yang talked eloquently, as if he looked at the hundreds of thousands of Wagang troops in front of him as if they were nothing.

"It's hard to say when the day is, but the location is favorable, and the Yanshi is also a strong city, not to mention, the training is also with us, as long as the people stationed in the garrison do not mess up, don't worry too much, the only thing is that Jin Yong City is not only a grain and grass hub, but also a big city, so I will send the cavalry, ambush and roadside, if the enemy army is harassed by a large force, a small force is annihilated, it can be safe, and the location is also considered to be five points."

"So, what do we have to worry about? General Zhang Zhenzhou, after all, you have only been under the landlord for a short time, and you will slowly know that the landlord has unfathomable power in the world in addition to force. ”

General Yang patted General Zhang Zhenzhou on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"That's why I said that under the landlord is the sorrow of a soldier, it's too easy, victory!"

Then he turned around and left the city: "Let's go, they won't attack the city today, but tomorrow will definitely be a hard battle, I heard that the deputy landlord will come over soon, and he has brought a lot of people, let's go and meet it later." ”

Zhang Zhenzhou hadn't woken up from the information revealed in General Yang's words, so he could only nod his head when he heard the words, and then reacted and went down to the city with the people.

The next day, Tang Zichen landed at the head of Xiangyang City, looking at the Wagang Army with quasi-military forces below, with a pair of beautiful eyes.

Turning his head to General Yang, he said, "General Yang Gongqing, how is the dispatch of our army?" Is the morale of the soldiers high? ”

"Don't worry, don't look at Li Mi's army, it's menacing, and the soldiers look like they're several times like us, but where the soldiers are not very good, Li Miwagang is born in a rogue after all, there are very few elite soldiers and a few sides of the war, the loss of soldiers is huge, although it is known as hundreds of thousands of troops, in fact, most of them are part of the logistics axis, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Yang Gongqing stroked his beard and said confidently.

"The ancient sage said, 'The more soldiers there are, the weaker the strength, and the more the salary, the poorer the country.' If the army is increased endlessly, it will only create a situation of redundant troops, which will lead to the waste of production and the people's livelihood. After a pause, he continued: "It is useless to have a large number of people, and it depends on whether the equipment and food can be matched." Therefore, it is advisable to make strict selections in recruiting troops, eliminate redundancy, and win by quality. The reason why Li Valve must win every battle is that he has selected and trained a team of 'black armor' cavalry composed of more than 1,000 elites, waiting for the opportunity to assault, repeatedly performing miraculous feats, and being defeated. Although the number is small, they are not afraid of the enemy's thousands of troops, as long as the opponent's position is in chaos, their own army will take advantage of the situation to attack, echoing inside and outside, making the enemy hate the battlefield. ”

Tang Zichen was also interested when he heard this ancient method of transporting troops, although he also read a lot of lost ancient books and rare books here, he was not as good as the living generals here, so he began to ask for specific matters.

Yang Gongqing twisted his beard and said: "An army, as little as tens of thousands, as much as hundreds of thousands, how to organize many men and horses into a strong force that can be used for combat, there is only one rule, 'governing the crowd is like governing the widow'." That is, five for the team, two for the fire, five for the team, the second team for the officer, the second official for the song, the second song for the department, the second department for the school, the second school for the school, the second for the army. Regardless of the number of 1000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 This is a neat and chaotic army, and the general has a general program, so as to achieve the effect of controlling complexity with simplicity. Everyone in the whole army, from generals to soldiers, has a clear understanding of his post and the relationship between himself and his superiors, subordinates, and left and right. If the rules are not chaotic, then it will have the effect of governing the people as if they were widows. ”

"Whether it is a corps, a fire, a team, an officer, a song, a department, a school, a pen, an army, or a corps, a team, a flag, a sentry, a division, a battalion, or a division, they are all different in name, but they are all based on Shiwu, and their reasons are the same. In addition, it is also necessary to set up trumpeters, drummers, standard-bearers, doctors, horsemen, standard-bearers, flag-bearers, carpenters, blacksmiths, and other candidates, each performing its own duties, and forming a perfect combat system, so that they are qualified to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy. ”

The two were talking about sex, but they heard the sound of drums in their ears, and they were all nervous, knowing that the war was about to begin, and ordered all the garrisons to prepare, and the war was about to break out.

I saw a rumbling, in the army of Li Miwagang, countless figures came out first, pushing huge anti-arrow siege vehicles, slowly towards Xiangyang, followed by a sergeant with a door-breaking machine and a ladder, and then a sergeant holding a shield, holding a short weapon in his hand, thinking that he was going to do a battle to climb the city.

It's a pity that Mo Yi has been in Datang for many years, although he has not forcibly raised any science and technology trees, but all kinds of advanced ideas have made the craftsmen of Mingzhulou infinitely useful, and they have even been inspired to produce stamping machine tools that borrow water power, although they are rough, but fine processing has been far ahead of the times.

Especially when everyone in Luoyang City practices martial arts, the strength and dexterity of the craftsmen are not inferior to the ordinary high-tech assembly line.

It is conceivable how powerful the combat readiness and city defense technology belonging to the pearl downstairs is, and I saw General Zhang Zhenzhou, holding a sword to the soldiers at the head of the city, and ordered: "Prepare!" ”

Immediately everyone, some armed with crossbows, others put boulders into a strange-looking trebuchet.

"Put!" At the sound of an order, bows and arrows rained down, boulders flew out like sharp arrows, and the siege machinery of Wagangzhai with ordinary machinery as the object was devastated.

The boulder that used the principle of lever to spiral and accelerate broke through the anti-arrow siege vehicle of the Wagang army in just one moment, and the next few stones immediately smashed it into slag, and most of the sergeants pushing the siege vehicle did not even have time to scream and became shattered corpses, and the dark earth was stained with blood, and all kinds of human organs and broken bodies could be seen everywhere.

And the arrows polished by the stamping machine and the rain of bows and crossbows and arrows far beyond their imagination illuminated the entire annihilation of the vanguard of the Wagang Army.

A rain of arrows washed away, and all the sergeants who held their shields or narrowly escaped the boulder immediately ushered in despair, and the sharp arrows fell downward with great force under the influence of acceleration and gravity, and the sharp arrows soon passed over their shields, which were mostly only wood, and thin close-fitting leather clothing.

Many people just feel a chill on their bodies, and when they are in pain, they will never see the sun tomorrow again, and the more miserable sergeant, who was not shot to the vital point, was shot all over the body with an unknown number of arrows, and rolled on the ground without dying for a while, but he could only deepen his own pain, and even his feet were frozen to the ground by arrows, unable to pull out, so he could only stand in place and watch the next wave of arrow rain come to end his pain.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the first wave of the tentative troops of Wagangzhai, the three thousand pioneers were completely wiped out in the three waves of intertwined arrows and rain of boulders, and almost all the corpses of the dead were there, and the blood flowed all over the grass in front of Xiangyang City, which showed that this grassland will inevitably grow more and more lush in the coming year, and this is only the prelude to the bloody battle in Xiangyang.
