Chapter 155: It is impossible to break the city in one day
As for those means of attracting heavenly punishment and help, he really wants to see it.
Marching and fighting a war does not rely on tactics and spells?
This is nonsense in his heart, and he doesn't believe in the so-called heavenly punishment at all.
Just when the army under Wang Hongcheng rushed to Tianshui City, the guards in Yundong City were counting the spoils.
As the commander of the logistics force, Chen Wu is responsible for these things.
While he was waiting for news, the deputy general Lu Tian came with a paperwork.
"General, we sent it this time!"
"The Dawu Dynasty has hoarded a lot of good things in Yundong City!"
Hearing Lu Tian's words, Chen Wu was slightly moved, and then said calmly.
"Hurry up and report, don't talk nonsense!"
Lu Tian cleared his throat, and then said loudly.
"This time, 500,000 stones of military rations and 100,000 pieces of weapons and armor were seized!"
"A million arrows from the bow and crossbow!"
"Among them, there are more than 100 Yuan-breaking crossbows and 8,000 arrows!"
Hearing this, Chen Wu also took a deep breath.
500,000 stone army rations are enough for 50,000 troops to eat for three months.
100,000 pieces of weapons and armor can also ensure three months of logistics worry-free, plus 1 million arrows, enough to deal with a large army of 300,000 sieges.
Among them, the most precious are more than 100 Yuan-breaking crossbows and 8,000 crossbow arrows.
These alone are worth nearly 500,000 taels of silver, and the border army of the Dawu Dynasty is simply rich.
These weapons and equipment in Yundong City are enough for the border army to prepare another 100,000 troops, and they have received a lot of goods in this battle.
Before Chen Wu could speak, the deputy general on the side spoke again.
"A total of two million taels of gold, silver, and jewels were seized in the city!"
Hearing this, Chen Wu didn't feel anything in his heart.
Two million taels of silver didn't feel the slightest bit to him.
Thirty percent of them will be the rewards of the soldiers, and there will always be his share.
Looking at the deputy general with shiny eyes on the side, Chen Wu said coldly.
"How many things are in the city, naturally someone is responsible for counting!"
"If someone fills his own pockets in it, the consequences are clear to him!"
"Although we are logistics, we should have a share of military merit!"
His voice had a strong warning flavor, and everyone nodded in fear, indicating that it was clear, and seeing that no one objected, Chen Wu said.
"Lu Tian, you lead a part of the brothers to clean up the battlefield and escort all the spoils back to the border!"
"The rest of the men continue to supervise the construction of the city walls, and if necessary, the border troops will join them!"
As his words fell, all the lieutenants agreed in unison, and then everyone returned to the barracks, performed their duties according to Chen Wu's arrangement, and began to get busy.
On the other side, when Chen Wu commanded the logistics troops to clean up the battlefield, Bai Qi was leading his troops to Tianshui City!
Because the battle plan was almost on the surface, Bai Qi did not hide the traces of the march, and the army under his command rushed directly to Tianshui City without concealing it at all.
The adjutant general on the side quickly stepped forward and asked suspiciously.
"General, why don't you send scouts to sweep away spies from all countries!"
"In this way, won't the whereabouts of our army be exposed!"
The adjutant general looked at Bai Qi's calm expression and was puzzled in his heart.
To fight in the advance army, scouts must be sent to clear the spies of various countries, and then to probe the enemy's military deployment.
In this way, we can ensure that we know each other and know each other, and the commander can be more confident when the two armies come into contact.
But now the border army not only did not send scouts, but also did not eradicate the traces of the march.
The rest of the scouts were easily able to deduce the route of the crowd based on the trails left behind after camping, so that they could prepare in advance.
When marching and fighting, it is often necessary to attack them unprepared in order to establish an advantage.
Putting everything on the bright side now is undoubtedly an act of adding pressure to himself, and the deputy general is extremely puzzled.
Looking at the deputy general's expression, Bai Qi said calmly.
"It's okay, just let the scouts investigate!"
"The purpose of this time is to exterminate the reinforcements of the Dawu Dynasty, don't worry!"
After finishing speaking, Bai Qi ordered his army to speed up and gallop to the outside of Tianshui City.
When the army rushed to thirty miles outside Tianshui City, Bai Qi ordered the army to camp on the spot.
This move made all the lieutenants puzzled and rushed to inquire.
"General, why haven't you attacked yet?"
"Now is the best time to surprise Tianshui City!"
Looking at Bai Qi's extremely calm expression, everyone was puzzled.
Wasn't the rush of troops rushing to Tianshui City to attack Taishui City by surprise?
Now everyone rushed to Tianshui City but did not take the initiative to attack, what does this mean?
For a while, everyone was puzzled, wanting to see the answer from Bai Qi's face.
Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Bai Qi said calmly.
"Yundong City ended too quickly, and the logistics troops haven't caught up yet!"
"This time Tianshui City is quite a big test for the logistics troops, wait for them!"
The people around him were shocked when they heard this.
Yundong City is over too soon, wait for the logistics troops?
For other people, everyone thinks this is extremely arrogant.
But when Bai Qi said it, everyone only felt reasonable.
Yundong City has 50,000 elites, and it didn't even last a day.
Didn't it end too quickly?
None of the crowd reacted.
Now this Tianshui City is the military town of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with 200,000 soldiers.
Coupled with the impregnable defenses, this is the first test for the border army!
While everyone was waiting for the logistics troops, the news of the loss of Yundong City also spread to the countries of the Kyushu continent.
In the border, people everywhere cheered in unison and were extremely happy.
The Great Zhou Dynasty and the Dawu Dynasty are mortal enemies for generations, and now the border army under Su Mo has penetrated into the Dawu Dynasty, and everyone is very happy.
Especially when everyone learned that the Dawu Dynasty didn't hold out for even a day, they were extremely proud.
Whether it was in Tai'an City or in the border streets, people were happily humiliating the Dawu Dynasty.
Every time you meet, you have to smile and scold two sentences of great martial arts, and then you know each other and smile.
Su Mo's move undoubtedly brought great good news to the border people, and everyone was surrounded by a joyful atmosphere for a while.
Unlike the joy of the border, the Great Zhou Dynasty was full of doubts when it learned of this.
Above the court, Hu Weitian, the secretary of the military department, spoke directly and loudly.
"Your Majesty, Su Mo's move must be to boost the morale of the border army!"
"My Great Zhou Dynasty is about to send troops now, Su Mo is afraid in his heart, and he deliberately made up lies in order to encourage the border army!"
He wasn't talking nonsense.
As the secretary of the military department, he is very aware of the strength of more than 100,000 border troops.
Without Su Mo, those border soldiers are ordinary elite soldiers.
It is inevitable to capture the next Yundong City, but there is something wrong with this time.
It took only one day for a mere 100,000 border troops to conquer Yundong City of the Dawu Dynasty, which is obviously not reasonable.
The 50,000 defenders in Yundong City can withstand it for three or five days, no matter how unbearable they are.
In addition, the commander of Yundong City is the veteran Liu Wu.
This person is mainly stable in commanding troops, and he is even better at defending the city.
Even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, few people could do it so quickly to storm the city and capture Yundong City.
What's more important is that the person who commanded the army was Bai Qi, not Su Mo.
He never believed that the border army could have such terrifying strength.
Just find a nameless commander and you can break the city in one day.
If the news is true, wouldn't Bai Qi be the second Su Mo.
On the side, the head of the household department also quite agreed with his point of view, and said loudly.
"Your Majesty, this move must be a rumor spread by Su Mo in order to confuse his vision!"
