Chapter 470 [Strength and Weakness]

Thundered!

The torrent of cavalry hit the gate and fence of the camp, of course the cavalry had losses, but the gate and fence were unstable for a moment, and many of the soldiers who were forcibly reinforced with their bodies and strength behind the gate and fence in the camp were also quite impacted, even if they did not die, they were already in a state of internal injuries and could not continue to fight, so to speak, this time the cavalry charge was very effective.

"It seems that there is no suspense about the outcome anymore." Seeing this scene, He Ping came to the conclusion that although the Li family's camp resisted the first charge, it was obvious that the strength of their camp was not as high as it seemed, and the first charge had already made the camp unstable, in He Ping's view, at most three charges, the camp would be completely exposed in front of the Qi family's cavalry, and at that time the Li family's troops could only fight head-on, and in fact, at that time, it was equivalent to the first line of defense of the Songjiang Commander.

"yes." Wen Fang on the side also said a little helplessly: "I originally thought that the Li family could hold on for a while longer, in that case, whether it is the uncle on the front line, or us, including Mr. Wang De of Wu'an, there will be plenty of time to prepare and plan, but now it seems that the Li family's defense line collapsed, the soldiers were defeated, and it is estimated that it will not take much time at all, in this case, even if the Li family asks the Zhao family for help, our reinforcements will not have time to pass, and at least half of the Songjiang family will be occupied by the Qi family." ”

"It seems that our plan of action needs to be brought forward a little bit." He Ping looked at the Qi family troops who started the second charge, and the Li family troops who were panicking to temporarily strengthen the camp. said: "There is no hope for this Li family's camp, and without the camp, the Li family is not the opponent of the Qi family in the field at all." All they could do was to retreat to the nearby city and rely on it for defense, but Songjiang was dominated by plains, the role of the city was too small, and there were no dangerous checkpoints to defend, so the Qi family's troops did not have any substantial obstacles at all. ”

He Ping's original plan was not so fast, although they set up a temporary camp in the mountains and forests near the Qi family's troops. They were constantly gathering information on the warring sides, but their initial idea was to let the two sides fight for a while, if it was too easy. If you can't let the Li family suffer a loss, if you don't let them hurt a little, they won't understand how wrong their approach is, so He Ping and they plan to do it when the Li family can't hold on. Strike again.

But now it seems to be a bit of a problem. The combat effectiveness of the troops of the Qi family and the Li family was a bit unexpected, the Qi family was stronger than they expected, and the Li family was weaker than they expected, although Wen Fang also had experience in fighting with the Qi family's troops when he went to Pinghua Ling, but at that time, because the main task of the Qi family's troops was to encircle and suppress the troops of other families who were also Pinghua troops, so it was a little ineffective, and now, although the morale is still not high. But their target had already changed to the troops of other realms, so at least there was not much hesitation.

Not to mention the extraordinary performance. But at least the combat effectiveness of the Qi family troops that can be fully exerted is not as good as the most elite Zhao family troops in this area, as well as the Cook family troops that can match the Zhao family troops, but they are already above other troops, but the Li family troops are too disappointing in comparison, He Ping and Wen Fang even felt that many soldiers seemed to be "laymen" in the actions of those soldiers.

"Those soldiers of the Li family...... Ay. Wen Fang looked at the soldiers of the Li family hurriedly looking for materials for temporary reinforcement of the camp and the scene of preparing for battle, sighed and said: "It's really speechless to be like this, it seems that the rumors I heard before about the Li family using troops to use the troops to carry out tuntian are true, and the training of those soldiers has not kept up at all, this is obviously negligent in training and busy doing other things." ”

The Li family is most concerned about the land, but if the land is left alone, there is nothing, in other domains, are soldiers for full-time, peacetime training, wartime expeditions, not responsible for production, and production is completely handed over to ordinary people, in this case, in non-war times there will be a lot of surplus resources exported to the outside world, plus trade and caravans with various places, the territory is basically developing, but in wartime, it can only maintain the balance of payments.

The system used by the Li family is slightly different from that of other leaders, it seems that in non-war times, the Li family's troops will also take out a lot of land to farm, leaving only a minimum standing military strength, and the others are half soldiers and half farmers, going out in wartime, and tuntian in peacetime, it is precisely for this reason that the Songjiang Ling, which is not very populous, has become the largest grain producer in the nearby area, and can send grain to many surrounding leaders.

However, such a system is against the law, the Tianhua Empire was originally founded on agriculture, so it is very clear about the importance of agriculture, so in the early period of time, the Tianhua enemy country also adopted the military service system of the tuntian system, soldiers in the time of not going out, must help agricultural production, during that time, the development of agriculture has indeed been greatly improved, but followed by a rapid decline in the combat effectiveness of soldiers, after a period of time, the Tianhua Empire not only did not expand its territory, but many territories were occupied by other countries.

Since then, the Tianhua Empire has abolished the Tuntian system, stipulating that the soldiers on active duty must be full-time, and the combat effectiveness of the standing army must be guaranteed. So this matter has been kept to the level of rumors.

But now looking at the performance of the soldiers of the Li family, it is a little too bad, the physique of the soldiers is not bad, but after seeing the battlefield, the soldiers actually appeared panicked and frightened expressions, which is a bit too exaggerated, and their movements are also very blunt, as if they have not picked up weapons for a long time, this is definitely an abnormal phenomenon in the military world where martial arts are prevalent, you know, even if you go to the street to find a half-grown child, or even find a scholar or a woman to come over, you can play a few times, big men do not practice martial arts, That will definitely not be able to get a daughter-in-law.

If that's really the case, then the Li family is tantamount to committing a taboo, and privately using soldiers to do other things, especially the Tuntian, which was abolished before, the lightest punishment is estimated to be a fine and a demotion.

However, for the current He Ping and Wen Fang, these things don't matter, the Li family is short-sighted and can't see very far, only thinking that asking the Zhao family for help may let the Zhao family annex the Songjiang Territory, but they can't see that even if they don't ask the Zhao family for help, and withstand the attack of the Qi family, there is no fall of the whole territory, and the above will no longer sit idly by and ignore them, although the Li family has absolute authority in Songjiang, and the emperor is far away, but if it really makes the Son of Heaven angry, it is a matter of one sentence to clean up the Li family.

Now He Ping and Wen Fang have to consider that because the Li family's troops are too weak, they will collapse on the whole line if they can't support it for too much time, and if the Songjiang leader collapses on the whole line, it will not be of any benefit to the Zhao family, so He Ping and they must complete the task and kill the commander of the Qi family when the Li family has been hit hard, but it has not completely collapsed.

After all, they have just arrived, and the head coach of the Qi family must still be very cautious to stay in the big tent now, and will not go out easily, even if they go out, they must bring a large number of guards, and it is not easy to find an opportunity to ambush in this, and time is definitely not abundant.
