Chapter Ninety-Five: The Great Army Pressed the Border
said that it was a hundred civil and military officials, but in fact, there were not many people in this court at all.
Especially in terms of civil officials, there are not many people at all, and there is not even one who can handle it.
However, it is not difficult to understand that the first is that the progress in cultural governance is still insufficient, and although there are literate people, there are not many people.
And the most important point is that above the court of this Yan country, the generals occupy a clear dominant position.
In fact, in this regard, there is not much difference between Xia Qi and Wang Ting.
Mainly in terms of literacy, Xia Qi is not even as good as Wang Ting.
However, Xia Qi has the school in his hand, a special building that can increase the efficiency of literacy, and it is very easy to improve the literacy rate of the people.
Straight to the point.
After losing Wang Tian and 4,000 troops, this was undoubtedly a very heavy loss for Wang Ting, and at the same time, he also knew that this was a demonstration to himself.
Either way, he had to do something.
Wang Ting was actually quite conceited in his bones, and after doing whatever he wanted in his own world, he directly established the Great Yan Kingdom.
became the king, and then this conceited character obviously became more and more intensified, so it was said that it was to convene hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss the matter, but in the end, it would basically evolve into him alone giving orders there every time.
And it turns out that even in this case, according to the thinking of Wang Ting, a modern person, and with the experience of the player, many of his decisions are still quite correct, however, this fact undoubtedly fuels his conceited character even more, and over time, the process of this hundred official deliberations has become that after listening to the orders of the royal court, everyone shouts in unison, 'The Great King is wise', and then they can retreat and go to work.
At this time, a huge map was spread out in front of everyone's eyes, and then Wang Ting pointed to the new city and border city on the eastern border, and then spoke in a deep voice.
"Just yesterday, the new city and the border city were broken by the enemy, and the general Wang Tian was killed in battle......"
"Newspaper—"
Before he could finish speaking, a herald hurried in from outside the main hall.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing the herald, Wang Ting's heart chuckled, and he inexplicably had a bad premonition.
The herald rushed into the main hall quickly, knelt in front of the royal court with a snap, and said: "King Qiqi, just yesterday, General Li Hu, the general of Zhengdong, was killed in battle, and all 6,000 reinforcements were captured!" ”
Wang Ting was stunned for a moment, and his face, which had just recovered, turned pale again.
"Impossible! That's impossible! Wang Ting muttered, and his body suddenly fell to the ground.
"King!"
"Medic, call the Medic!"
The officials in the council hall were in a mess for a moment, in fact, they knew the news about the breach of Chenghe New Town, and it had already spread in the royal city, and now it was already night, it was impossible to say that they didn't know.
Wang Ting was carried into the dormitory, and when the old doctor received the news, he actually refused in his heart, how many times has this been?
O king, please don't toss my old bones anymore, okay?
Under the superb medical skills of the old medical officer, Wang Ting finally woke up.
And the first thing I said when I woke up was:
"Order, another 5,000 soldiers will be recruited in the territory of Dayan, and this king will personally march and fight to the death with Xia Qi!"
Wang Ting's words immediately caused an uproar, at present, Dayan's soldiers have all been exhausted, where did the soldiers come from? Can only be forcibly recruited! However, this must affect the development of Dayan itself.
It can be seen that Wang Ting was stimulated by Wang Tian's successive failures.
Since the beginning of this all-out war, he has also won a victory in the siege of Qingyan City, and then he was half-crippled by Xia Qi, who rushed over.
The defeat of Qingyan City was all due to the arrogance of the royal court, and if the city was not defended, it had to fight with it outside the city.
However, he and Wang Tian were restrained by Xia Qi and Qingniu respectively, and the soldiers under his command could only fight separately.
Under such circumstances, the Great Xia army was originally here for revenge, and with the leadership of the brave five-star white wolf, it was naturally killed by the Great Xia City.
And in the subsequent battle of the border city, it was Xia Qi who took advantage of the heat. Physical knowledge of expansion and contraction. Such a method can only be said to be too shocking in this era.
The ensuing battle of Xincheng relied on the city gate opened by Li Chuan.
I'm afraid that the royal court would not have thought that in his own civilization, there is still a talent with a five-star upper limit.
Then came the battle with 6,000 recruits in the field, and in the face of Xiong's offensive, Li Hu, who had five-star bravery, was addicted to wine for a long time and almost became a waste.
It can only be said that the Great Yan of the royal court has begun to have some negative effects that a dynasty cannot avoid.
Just when Wang Ting was gearing up and preparing for a shame, the other end.
After capturing two cities one after another, Xia Qi did not rush to make the next move.
One is that the warriors have been fighting continuously for a few days and need to rest for a few days, and these two cities have been brought under his command, and as his talent takes effect, the loyalty points of the inhabitants of these two cities have also begun to rise.
The second is to move all the resources in the border cities and new cities back to their own territory.
But after all, it's a border city, and no fool will pile up a lot of precious resources in the warehouse of the border city, so after a trip to rummage, there are not many things to obtain.
It's all ordinary resources, such as weapons and equipment, as well as food and grass.
If it went well, Xia Qi's original plan was to rest in the new city for a few days before sending troops to the next city.
However, the royal court in the rear did not give him this opportunity, and three days later, he arrived at the city separated from the new city, the former River City, with the first batch of forcibly recruited soldiers.
This news was sent to Xia Qi by the reconnaissance team led by Lu that night.
Xia Qi, who received the news, attached great importance to it, and changed the offensive plan he had formulated before, and changed the offense to defense.
On the fifth day, Wang Ting drove to the new city where Xia Qi was located with 5,000 soldiers who had been forcibly recruited.
The trumpets of the siege sounded, and the soldiers rushed towards the walls of the new city like a swarm of ants.
These were all forcibly recruited recruits, without any military training, and it could be seen that Wang Ting was stimulated by the successive defeats and the death of his generals.
Now that the two sides are obviously at a disadvantage, the best way should be to defend with the tall walls, but he chose to attack.
But that's okay, with Xincheng, Xia Qi can completely consume some more of his troops, the more people die in the royal court here, the easier the battle will be in the future, and the fewer people will die.
Above the city, Xia Qi asked Li Chuan, "Li Chuan, what do you think?" ”
Xia Qi actually knew about Wang Ting's move, he mainly wanted to see how far the innate general he had just recruited had reached.
For the current Xia Qi, the actual play of his subordinates is the most important, and the attribute panel and the like have become secondary, so it serves as a reference.
It's like Pan, his ceiling is not high, but he does things safely.
Every time Xia Qi led his army to go on an expedition, he liked to hand over the base camp to him, and Pan had always lived up to his favor.
Take Liu Kai as an example, he is just a good general with a single intelligence ceiling of four stars, but he is very safe in doing things, and he is well-founded, and at the same time decisive, and now he has obviously become one of the generals he trusts and values very much.
Li Chuan: I think there must be something strange at this time!
Cough!
For Li Chuan's examination, Li Chuan began to think about it seriously, and then replied: "Patriarch, my subordinates think that the purpose of this siege war, the other party's purpose should be to test the strength and weakness of our troop deployment, if it can be directly attacked, it is naturally the best, if it can't be attacked, confirm the information first, it will also be conducive to the siege war later." ”
After speaking, Li Chuan's eyes fell on Xia Qi's face, as if he was seeking approval, or did he want to hear Xia Qi's opinion?
"What else?" Xia Qi looked at Li Chuan and asked with a smile.
