Chapter 917: You'll Know When the Time Comes
In the last battle of Yanjin, the number of the Peerless Army was about the same as it is now.
But the Musou Army at that time was certainly not as strong as it is now.
Su Xuan's investment in the Wushuang Army has not decreased.
And last time, although the strength of the Jin Kingdom was not as large as it is now, its strength was definitely stronger than it is now.
At that time, the Abuhan Department was all elite.
Abuhan's two main generals were all cut down by Su Xuan.
Now they're just outnumbered.
The Musou Army doesn't have any concept of how many enemies there are.
Even if everyone in Beijin is a soldier, they have gathered an army of millions.
The Wushuang Army only relied on 20,000 people, and as long as Su Xuan gave an order, they still dared to fight over.
Can't bully Da Xia, I've been bullied by Da Xia all the time, and I can't bully just a Jin country?
"General, the bed crossbow used by the Northern Barbarians has a similar range to the bed crossbow of the Great Yan Dynasty, but their bed crossbow is more powerful. And their compound bows, equipped with cavalry, are like a tiger with wings." Guo Qu said.
Although Su Xuan came, Guo Jiajun's heart was also settled.
But the weapons and equipment of the Northern Barbarians are not bad at all, and there are even signs of catching up with the Great Yan Dynasty.
"Great General Qiyu, the advantage of the Northern Barbarians is not only the bed crossbow and compound bow, but also their complete adaptation to the cold climate. Although our soldiers have been trained in a cold environment, the temperature is too low this year, and we are no match for the Northern Barbarians." Guo Jiajun's deputy general said.
At present, Beijin has three major advantages, one is the numerical advantage, the second is the superiority of weapons and equipment, and the third is the favorable time and place.
Previously, the Yamen of the Supervision Department had allocated bed crossbows to Guo Jiajun, but the number was not much, only a few.
After all, the Yamen of the Supervision Department was before
The capacity for mass production of bed crossbows is not yet available.
Although the amount of reserves is not small, it is impossible to give priority to Guo Jiajun.
"Xing Daorong is a craftsman, I almost forgot about that. I have to say that he does have some ability. As a craftsman, he's quite qualified." Su Xuan said in a deep voice.
This was a joke, but Guo Qu and several lieutenants couldn't laugh at all.
Even if the Wushuang Army is here now, they will at most defend the Shanhaiguan.
It's not that easy to regain lost ground.
Now if they rush out, they may be attacked by the Northern Barbarians.
"In terms of Wu Qiang's equipment, we have a secret weapon; The problem of cold, I will find a way to solve it; As for the number of people...... When have you ever seen the Musou Army fight more and less? If I really want to fight more and fight less, I won't fight yet." Su Xuan said with a smile.
Now the situation in the tent is kind of interesting.
The people on Guo Qu's side had solemn faces.
The people on Su Xuan's side are all relaxed and freehand.
As if they were not here to fight, but to go on vacation.
Su Xuan and others who have a certain martial arts realm are not afraid of the cold.
But the soldiers were afraid.
Solving this problem is very simple for Su Xuan.
Although the emperor had declared war on Beijin, he didn't say that he had to fight now.
Preliminary preparations still need to be made.
"General Guo, if you don't wave your flag and shout for us in the rear, we will go and destroy the Northern Barbarians." Chunfeng smiled faintly.
For the spring breeze, the terrain of Beijin is either plains or plateaus, of which there are mostly plains, and there are not many areas with relatively rugged terrain.
Above the flat river, it is the home of the spring breeze.
The last time I fought the Northern Barbarians
I haven't been addicted to it, and this time I want to earn back what I didn't play enough last time.
For rugged terrain, there are Xu Er and Admiralty.
There is Su Xuan in the overall planning.
In addition, there are excellent generals such as Sun Tong, and the configuration of the Wushuang Army is actually very rich, that is, there are fewer people.
If Xu Sanpang was still there, Su Xuan felt that he wouldn't have to go out in person
。
Xu Sanpang can definitely flatten Beijin.
Su Xuan was only able to win with some insights that he had in later generations.
But Xu Sanpang's command talent was innate, and Su Xuan felt that he couldn't compare with him.
Ay......
Su Xuan thought of Xu Sanfat, and sighed secretly in his heart.
"The purpose of this battle is to destroy Beijin, and we are indispensable for General Guo to help." Su Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Although the general gave the order, Guo didn't dare to disobey." Guo Qu arched his hand.
Not to mention that Su Xuan came with a holy decree, even if Su Xuan defected, Guo Qu would join Su Xuan without hesitation.
The last time Guo Qu was in Qingzhou, he hadn't fought against the Wushuang Army before he was persuaded by Su Xuan to surrender.
This time, he can finally go to the battlefield with Su Xuan and understand Su Xuan's true strength.
"Although Beijin lost the battle just after the founding of the country, we still can't despise them." Su Xuan said.
Xu Ershou immediately answered.
"I know that you have to pay attention to your opponent tactically and despise your opponent strategically." Xu Ershou said with a smile.
"Yes, even if Beijin has a million soldiers, even if we only have 40,000 soldiers, we can still eat them!"
Su Xuan pointed to Huining.
"Our first battle is to eat Huining City. Although the Northern Barbarians built a city, they still retained the customs of the grassland. Siege on me
It's not a difficult thing for us, as long as we enter the city and fight in the streets with the northern barbarians, we will definitely be able to wipe out the northern barbarians in the city." Su Xuan said.
Guo Qu was a little confused.
The hardest thing for them now is to cross Plains City.
Why is this about to break through Huining City?
That's the capital of Beijin.
The elite of the Wanyan tribe are all guarding in Huining City.
"Wan Yan Hao has at least 200,000 personal soldiers, and we are going to attack the city with 40,000 people?" Guo Qu asked.
Su Xuan brought two cannons.
The Northern Barbarians must have never seen what a cannon is.
Although the number of cannons is small, why is it difficult to blast open a city gate?
Back then, Su Xuan went to Qingzhou with a bed crossbow, didn't he only use two rounds of salvos to blow up Qingzhou City?
The power of the cannon is simply not comparable to the bed crossbow.
"Yes, eat Huining first. It's best to destroy as much of the Northern Barbarian's living force as possible in Hoeryeong City." Su Xuan said.
"But how do we make it through Plains City?" Guo Qu asked.
"We've got cavalry, we've got compound bows, and we've got firearms." Su Xuan said with a smile.
"What is a firebolt?" Guo Qu said curiously.
He'd never heard of it, and neither did his men, who didn't know what a firebolt was.
Su Xuan smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll know when the time comes. Now it's time for us to solve the problem of the cold. General Guo, let your people go to the whole territory of Yanzhou to buy goose down."
"Goose down?"
"Yes, separate the feathers on the goose's belly from the feathers on its body, the more the better, go quickly."
Guo Qu was still curious, he didn't know why Su Xuan wanted to collect goose down.
However, he did not question it, and immediately took people to work.
