Chapter 237: Before the War

The light rain continued, and the sound of dripping through the forest was endless. It's cloudy and silky, and the sound of ticking and tapping is upsetting.

Naturally, it's not just about worrying about the intermittent spring rain, and not caring about that sentence at all

The old saying "spring rain is as expensive as oil" has been sprinkled for a long time, Wang Jiang is worried about how his sister came with him, if this is known by his father, it is estimated that his sister will be fooled by playing a little temperament, but he is afraid that he will inevitably be beaten.

Especially seeing that his sister ignored him, as if he had done something sorry for her, now in the simple military tent in front of the night three watches, how can there be a little arrogance and unreasonableness in front of him, which makes the fourteenth prince feel very uncomfortable, such two faces make him especially hateful, and muttered with taste: "Why is she so thick-skinned?" Why are you embarrassed to claim to be the daughter-in-law of the night family? Qi Buyu next to him was interested in this kind of unknown little secret at first glance, as if the long-tongued woman at the edge of the village chewed the root of her tongue and asked: "In the end, it was the third watch and the princess of the river who gave the marriage, or was it a long way..." Wang He, the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the simple marching tent, was very bored in the face of Jiang Yi, who didn't say a word, just to see the night three watches who hadn't seen her for a few years, how could she know how to take care of people, she usually opened her mouth to stretch out her hands with food, let alone treat people, but it was just a nonsense with Jiang Yi just now, and it was a loss that Jiang Yi and such old rivers and lakes still believed it.

In the face of Jiang Yi's inquiry about the injury of Ye Sangen, not to mention medical skills, I am afraid that Wang He, who doesn't even know where the pulse is, is also sincere, and the old god is saying: "I was fooling you just now, I don't know how the third brother is." Before Jiang Yi's eyebrows twisted and he was about to get angry, the youngest princess in the dynasty had a bitter face and a pitiful look, and said: "I'm not worried that the third brother wants to find a reason to come and see him, and it doesn't hurt much, and it's not a quack misdiagnosis, why are you angry." Jiang Yi, who was beaten upside down, couldn't help but be stunned, isn't he still angry, why is this princess still a wicked person suing first?

Seeing this girl with such a special expression, it was only considered to be some kind of in-law made by the high-ranking prince back then, otherwise the attitude shown by Her Royal Highness the princess was not like the ordinary love between men and women.

Jiang Yi simply shut up and left the military tent. The sky was already dark, and the Phoenix City garrison that had been integrated again stayed about a mile away from the villa under the leadership of Qin Sheng, and he didn't see the old lady guard, and the expected Qi Mo Yan didn't ask too much, the old lady was afraid that he would be so weak that he couldn't stand up anymore, it was difficult for him to be able to do such things at his age, and Qi Mo Yan, who was very understanding, did not force him to make a feat of turning the tide at this time.

After waiting for this group of garrisons, Wang Jiang began to deploy an offensive formation. Although it shows that Wang Jiang didn't care at all about the foot crossbow machine that shouldn't appear in the people, but it only involved Ye Yao and more than a dozen subordinates in the villa, although Wang Jiang didn't put this group of people in his eyes, but he was still very cautious in terms of arrangement, which was really unexpected by Qi Moyan, and he was a little impressed by it.

First, he tried to test the attack of a few people in front of the villa, and then pressed most of his troops to attack to attract the attention of the gang of thieves.

Then divide a part of the people to go to the secret door behind the villa, find the opportunity to enter the village, and rescue Ye Yao and the others.

Naturally, the arrangements were meticulous, and they didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest, especially when it came to the night that was still in their hands, Wang Jiang didn't dare to take it lightly.

This is not because of the fruitless marriage three years ago, after all, it is also a playmate from childhood to adulthood, so naturally he will not let him risk himself.

During this period, Qi Moyan interjected a few sentences from time to time, and he was generally in favor of this plan, but it was only for the first wave of firepower

The role of "cannon fodder", Qi Moyan's particularly tough requirements made the thirty Qianniu Guards, who were few in number but definitely stronger than the local garrison.

As the lord of a city, even if it is in name only, if the garrison has too many casualties, the court will not care what reason you have.

Don't say anything about the excuse that the enemy is strong and I am weak, the imperial court spends a lot of money on the army every year, not only silver, but also the most basic food, clothing, housing and transportation to ensure the highest standard, and there is a lot of training every day, how can it be impossible to defeat a thief with a small number of people?

In view of the drawbacks brought about by the military system of the wartime soldiers in Tuntian during the leisure time of the Great Wei Dynasty in the previous dynasty, Emperor Tianwen, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, discussed a series of military service systems with a group of civilian and military generals as early as the beginning of the founding of the country, including the guard system, the system of raising soldiers by the people, the military household system, the regimental training system, etc., and it is not important to read and sort out many military classics of the previous dynasty.

In the end, Tianwen Dili, who was born in a military household, overrode public opinion and combined the government military system with the military recruitment system, which not only made up for the shortcomings of the untimely training of government soldiers, but also restricted the drawbacks of the military generals who led the troops for a long time to dominate the officials.

This is the militia system that has been handed down to this day during the reign of Emperor Tianwen. Just like the 200 regular troops in Phoenix, in fact, they serve under the government military system, farming in their spare time, training in agricultural gaps, and fighting wartime, most of them are recruited from the local government, and the locals in Yuzhou counties account for the majority, and there are also a few of the surrounding states and counties who are transferred beyond the military system.

These 200 soldiers called the regular army were militiamen, and some of these veterans may have served in other states and counties, and then after returning to the fields, they would work in the local agriculture for a living, and in order to save more possessions, they would still be conscripted into the army during the slack time.

One hundred reserves are the imperial court from all over the country to recruit good materials, to recruit rather than levy to form a direct army directly managed and dispatched by the imperial court, the service is the military system, the status is higher than the government soldiers, not just a grade, most of this group of people are composed of homeless or hungry people, do not have to bear all kinds of taxes and servitude, the monthly silver is also a considerable amount, but it is much better than the government soldiers in the leisure time silver halved treatment.

The 100 reservists in Phoenix City are the armor soldiers who are recruited from all over the country and go to the place to serve in the local army, and the actual name can be called a military pawn, but in fact, it is just to conform to the official rank of this third-grade city lord and specially configured according to the military system, and it is enough to have only 200 regular militia in other places.

This hundred reserve soldiers are directly under the management of the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the head of the military generals of the court, unlike the militia under the jurisdiction of the Zhichong Prefecture, even if it is recruited, it must be transferred by the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses of Zhengyipin, and the general Tiance, who is also sealed by the emperor, and the emperor Hu.

It is precisely because of the special system of this dynasty for armor that whether it is the militia under the government military system or the military pawn under the recruitment system, it means that it is the most important thing in the dynasty, and Qi Moyan naturally does not dare to let these baby bumps have any further losses.

As a loyal general, the fourteenth prince, who had been in the army for some years, naturally understood Qi Moyan's wishful thinking in his heart, and sneered: "Why, Qianniuwei is not as expensive as these people? Naturally, he was also afraid of being heard by those black hammer armor soldiers, Qi Mo Yan lowered his voice and said: "Qian Niu Wei is also a palace guard, all of them are well-equipped to be ten, and their skills are much stronger than these ordinary armor soldiers, but they dare not have any more damages, if this is investigated from above, let's not talk about Zhichong Mansion, it is the Duke of Yasukuo..." Waving his hand to call the adjutant general of the army, Wang Jiang arranged: "Deputy General Zhou, take out ten people wearing armor and shin armor and wearing scarfs, horses and armor, attack at the front gate, and then draw out ten people to be ready to ambush at any time after the village, and the rest of the people are ready with bows and crossbows, and take care of the garrison brothers in the city to make a good response." "The deputy general whose full name is Zhou Tong is also a fierce general who has saved people in the battlefield, and was later selected as a palace guard because of his outstanding military achievements to protect the safety of the inner palace.

Naturally, he also understood that Qi Moyan, who was famous for his chess skills and then became the lord of Phoenix City because of some children's personal affairs, calculated in his heart, but his fate was difficult to disobey, so he had to take the order and go, and the complaints in his heart could only be hidden in his heart, and he was slandered for a while.

I never thought that this fourteenth prince would be so righteous, not only taking over the work of the charge, but arranging and arranging to leave the garrison in the city behind, which is really a bit unexpected.

Qi Moyan was embarrassed and said, "Your Highness Fourteen, you also look down on me too much for the Phoenix City garrison, isn't it, what's the matter, are you afraid that we won't be able to hold you back?" "Actually, there was also a deliberate arrangement, and the three hundred garrisons were deliberately placed aside, to put it bluntly, it also led Mo Yan to open his mouth, after all, aside from the reason for this incident, it happened in Phoenix City, if they don't come forward, I'm afraid that after the word goes out, they will lose face the most.

Wang Jiang was able to come to this point in the army, and he saw a lot of those who were strategizing, and he naturally had some scheming, but he didn't just rely on the identity of this prince to get mixed up with the current position of a loyal general, although it was not as good as Qi Moyan, who was superb in chess and clever in thinking, some small tricks were also caught.

Wang Jiang couldn't help but sarcastically said: "After all, Qianniuwei is powerful, well-equipped, and one is ten." The other party was completely imitating what he had just said, how smart Qi Moyan was, and when his mind moved, he understood the calculation of His Royal Highness the prince in front of him, but for Qi Moyan, it was equivalent to riding a tiger's difficult move, which really made him not know how to refute it, so he had to shrug his eyebrows and droop his eyes, looking depressed as if he had lost the battle, and said: "If you talk less yin and yang, you can do what you want, how you can arrange it, and it is important to save people." Qi Moyan was relieved, Wang Jiang, who had already made arrangements in his heart, called Qin Sheng, the commander of the five ranks, and did not let this group of garrisons who had not experienced large-scale battles do anything terrible, but only let this man who had served in the Governor's Mansion of the Northern Governor for several years lead the garrison army, which was already less than three hundred, to respond.

Wang Jiang, who knew the armament configuration in the city, asked Qin Sheng to take the rattan shield in case of emergency, after all, the opponent was equipped with a foot crossbow, and it was only a little contemptuous of his mouth, after the defeat of the first attack, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy, so that this group of garrisons died for no reason.

Don't underestimate the enemy in the battle, it will only give the enemy a chance to take advantage of, but don't pay too much attention to it, it will only add to the enemy's arrogance.
