Chapter 238: The Barbarians Arrived

I glanced at the five people below, Wei Jie looked the most energetic, he must not have participated in the battle, and the other three followed me to attack overnight, and at this time they were already showing their exhaustion.

It's just that Zhuge Jin doesn't look very energetic, and he doesn't know what he's doing.

"Smack. Syllable.. Smack, reason, I need a reason" At this time, I slapped the coffee table with a shocking sound and roared at Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin shrugged, sat down on the chair with a sloppy look, gouged out his ears, and then saw that the rise and fall of my chest gradually decreased, and then slowly said: "Have you calmed down? ”

"If you don't calm down, you keep venting. ”

At this point, the roots of my teeth that I already hated were itching. Looking at Zhuge Jin's appearance, he couldn't wait to pull it out and beat him.

I calmed down and said lightly, "Tell me, why do you want to slaughter those barbarians." ”

Zhuge Jin saw that I had eased up, so he sat upright, straightened his robe, and then said: "I am also thinking about our grand cause, and this matter will soon spread to the entire Feixi County." ”

"And general, you will also set a precedent for Feixi County, let those people know that barbarians are not invincible. You want to continue conscription, which is impossible without the support of the population. ”

This is one of them, and it is recognized by the people. ”

After saying that, he paused and looked at me.

"And then I said," I said, holding up my teacup and talking nonchalantly.

"Second, those people had to be killed, on the one hand, to extinguish the mouth, and on the other hand, to break out the original war early. The best way to develop is to feed the war through war, otherwise how can we develop by relying on self-sufficiency alone?"

As soon as these words came out, I was stunned. I looked at Zhuge Jin in a daze.

"General, do you still think that we are rich now? Maybe in the short term, we are, but if we continue to expand and increase military service, what about the long time? Do you still feel rich?"

"There is also the continuous construction of various towns, the current tax is very low, and it can barely maintain the supply of the current military service, if the supply is cut off at the Tianqian Pass, what are you going to do?"

"Therefore, the only way is to kill, rob, and plunder, and only in this way can we feed the war with war, and constantly obtain baggage to feed this huge county, and mercy cannot win the war. ”

After Zhuge Jin finished speaking, he continued to sit down on the chair, picked up the teacup and drank it.

And I'm already savoring those words. I used to selectively ignore these things, and I always thought that tens of millions of county people should not be a problem to feed hundreds of thousands of troops.

But I didn't expect it, it seems to be a bit taken for granted, not to mention anything else, just building military equipment, military salaries and pensions, etc., is a lot of expenditure. Now it mainly has its own iron ore and purple bamboo to supply, which has reduced a lot of expenses.

If it is really as Zhuge Jin said, the supply of this 100,000 army in Tianqian City has been cut off, and all of it is supplied by itself, then it is better to say that it is better to say in one year, but in three years and five years? This is the problem.

Besides, if the barbarian people had not been killed, the people of the county would definitely know that if a sergeant was killed by a barbarian in the future, it would inevitably arouse the anger of the sergeant and the people, which would be unfavorable.

After thinking about this, there was no point of blame.

"Okay, this matter is stopped, the four of you will rest for a day, reward the three armies tomorrow night, and start training separately the day after tomorrow, we must ensure that the two legions are in a state of rest and defense, and they are ready to fight. ”

"It's... Subordinates obeyed. ”

The four of them stood up and gave their hands and took orders.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed since the snatching of the war horse.

On this day, just as I was teasing the little white tiger, Su Xiong hurriedly ran in.

"Boss... Boss..."

"Say it slowly, what's wrong?" At this time, I was playing with the little white tiger, which was already waist high and nearly 3 meters long. At this time, it has already been cultivated at the 3rd level.

"Boss, there is information from the front, the barbarian army is already on its way, and it will arrive outside the city wall in less than three days. ”

"Huh, so fast, hurry up and find Xueyi and Zhuge Jin to discuss the matter. At this time, I finally raised my head and looked at Su Xiong.

"Boss, you go directly, they are already waiting in front" At this time, Su Xiong looked at the little white tiger, thinking of his own tiger, and felt that the gap was still quite big.

Then I touched the white tiger's head and walked forward.

At this time, in the conference hall, Zhuge Jin, Xueyi, the commanders of each legion and others had already sat down, and I sat on the main seat and glanced at all of them.

At this moment, Su Xiong was standing behind my chair, acting as a bodyguard, and I don't know who ordered this kid.

"Presumably, you already know the information that came from the night? Zhuge tell me in detail. ”

"It's... According to the news, the five major tribes each sent 50,000 troops, a total of 250,000 troops. ”

"Among them, 150,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry will be able to reach beyond the city walls in three days according to the current itinerary. However, the other party doesn't seem to know that we have already cast the city wall, so they don't have siege equipment with them. ”

"Well... What are your countermeasures? Who will fight this battle, and how will it be fought?" I leaned back in my chair, looking indifferent.

The four of them looked at each other, and then looked at Zhuge Jin.

Receiving the eyes of the four people, Zhuge Jin followed my example, leaned back on the chair, took a sip of the teacup, and then looked at me, looking at me as if I didn't care, and suddenly became happy.

"I said, General, looking at your appearance, you are not in a hurry or nervous at all? That's an army of 250,000, which is 150,000 more than us, so you don't have any idea at all?"

"Hmm... Of course, I have the idea, and now I think about whether to wipe it all out, or let some of it go back. I put down my teacup and said seriously.

Poof....

Zhuge Jin, who was still drinking tea, couldn't hold back and directly squirted out all the tea he had drunk.

And Leng Feng shook his hand and sprinkled most of the tea on his robe.

"Are you serious? didn't joke?" At this time, Zhuge Jin put down the teacup and asked Zhengse.

"Of course, I'm thinking about it right now? Just kidding? That's not there! I'm not going to joke. At this time, I had already sat up straight, stared at Zhuge Jin, and said lightly.

Then there was silence below. After a quiet cup of tea, everyone looked at me again, wondering what I would say next.

"This battle is very simple, continue to practice the crane wing formation for the past two days, and when the barbarian army comes, we then go out of the city, and set up defenses outside the city to fight them. ”

"When the opposing cavalry came over, the infantry organized their shield arrays, the pikemen used hook and sickle spears against the horse's legs of the cavalry, and the strong archers just let me go and shoot. ”

"When their cavalry is in opposition to our infantry, the cavalry legions on both flanks attack them quickly, attacking the infantry legions behind them, turning their sabers into machetes, and cutting melons and vegetables. ”

"After passing through the back of the opposing infantry, the cavalry of the two regiments directly covered the cavalry in the rear, and the cavalry of the remaining two regiments turned their horses again to continue to cover the infantry. ”

After speaking, I walked to the sand table in the center, and the four people, including Zhuge Jin, and the various regiment leaders all surrounded me.

I picked up the stick and started drawing, and everyone seemed to be nodding their heads.

"This is only the first case, that is, the opponent charges with cavalry, and the infantry presses the formation, and the remaining one is to charge with the infantry and the cavalry to press the formation, for such a formation. ”

Then the cavalry began to quickly surround the infantry, the two regiments were only surrounded, and at the same time to prevent the cavalry of the other side from rushing into formation, and the cavalry of the two regiments under him began to rush into battle, and when the cavalry was disorganized, the infantry stepped forward directly, and it was good to divide and surround it. ”

Subsequently, the second combat plan was drawn in the sand table.

When I finished speaking, I looked at the others, and several of them were still thinking, so I didn't bother, returned to my seat and began to taste tea.

A quarter of an hour later, the group returned to their seats, seated upright.

I glanced at everyone and said lightly: "It's a pity that Xiaoyun's special army is no longer there, otherwise it would be perfect to ambush on the mountain, copy its back road, cut off its foster care, and steal the camp with it." ”

I sighed softly at this time, a little annoyed, according to the situation, now Long Xiaoyun is estimated to have just received someone, I am afraid that he has just been on the way back.

At this time, Zhuge Jin kept frowning, feeling that it seemed a bit risky to fight like this.

Then he asked: "General, why don't we defend the city, the other side has no obvious siege equipment, and it is difficult to break through the city wall by relying on cavalry and infantry alone, which can not only hit the other side, but also reduce casualties on our own side." ”

As soon as Zhuge Jin said this, Xueyi and the others immediately looked at me, not knowing what I was going to say next.

I pondered for a moment, then said with a treacherous smile, "Hmm... Since the military division has put forward this suggestion, then according to what the military division said, we will defend the city according to the city, and the specific deployment will be distributed by the military division. ”

After saying that, I picked up the teacup and drank it deliciously.

This time, Zhuge Jin's brows furrowed even tighter, as if he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say that it was wrong.

Zhuge Jin was very complicated at this time, with Zhuge Jin's understanding of me, he knew that as soon as his opinion was put forward, I would have a 70% chance of denying, but this time I agreed without hesitation.

It's worth thinking about whether this is a delaying tactic or a deliberate attempt to come up with a seemingly bold idea, waiting for me to come up with another method, an excuse to achieve the goal?

But according to my thinking, it is impossible not to know that defending the city is the best choice, and the disadvantage of the other party must be our advantage.

Zhuge Jin shook his head, threw these questions out of his mind, and then ordered: "For the past two days, the training will be suspended, and all the sergeants will rest for the next battle." ”

"All the personnel of the reservists should go to the Ordnance Department to transport all the equipment to the city wall for the purpose of defending the city. After three days, the sergeants except the shield bearers must bear strong bows. ”

"Before the other party launches an offensive, we will baptize it with a rain of arrows, and I don't need to say more about how to arrange the arrow array, right?" At this time, Zhuge Jin was full of aura, and what he said was sonorous and powerful.

"Understood, subordinates obeyed"

At this time, everyone got up and saluted Zhuge Jin with fists.
