Chapter 596: Return to the Horse Gun
Because there are too many things here in Polar City, Qin Ning, Qiu Wen, and Jin Long are all concentrated here, and because the three of them have their own responsibilities, some things are also very inconvenient.
For example, Jin Long is the city lord of Lingtu City appointed by Qin Ning, but now he has actually become the city lord of the mess of Polar City, recruiting troops to defend the city and settling the poor people of Polar City.
Qiu Wenhe is even more miserable, the whole contractor plus the general manager of materials plus the compound talent who coordinates the construction of the project. Qiu Wenhe is responsible for the large-scale teleportation array, Qiu Wenhe is responsible for the deployment of materials, and Qiu Wenhe is also responsible for the reconstruction of the damaged buildings in the polar city.
The most terrible thing is that the slaves rescued by the slave liberation group still have to be counted by Qiu Wenhe and sent to various departments.
On the surface, Qin Ning is the most relaxed, but in fact, the ideological pressure and broad strategic ideas that Qin Ning bears are the most laborious of the three.
This can't be helped, the Qin army is getting stronger and stronger with the continuous expansion of its territory, but the corresponding talent reserve is insufficient.
Dare to let go of the delegation of power, this person must be absolutely reliable and absolutely loyal. At this point, there are people like Mu Xiongtian and Lu Ling, but such people are loyal enough, but their ability is not good.
Mu Xiongtian and Lu Ling are good at military use, but when it comes to specific personnel affairs or administrative affairs, it seems that they are not good.
This is why Polar City is so tight, Qin Ning still didn't transfer Mu Xiongtian or Lu Ling over. Lu Ling is now guarding Lingtu City, and Mu Xiongtian is guarding Soul Yun City, which are all suitable arrangements. If these two people are transferred here to be in charge of specific affairs, I am afraid that it will be more and more chaotic.
Seeing that the large teleportation array of Polar City has been repaired. Qin Ning and the three of them felt slightly relieved, but the Polar City was rebuilt. It's still a long way to go.
On this day, Qiu Wenhe came to look for Qin Ning, but unexpectedly found that Qin Ning was not in his tent.
Finding the golden dragon, Qiu Wenhe asked, "General Golden Dragon, have you seen General Qin?"
Jin Long was a little strange and asked rhetorically, "Wenhe, General Qin is not in the camp tent?"
"yes, I wouldn't have found you either. Qiu Wenhe said.
"Wen He. Is there something important? Can you tell me if I can help you out?"
Qiu Wenhe smiled bitterly and said, "General Jinlong, I'm afraid this won't work." The Slave Liberation Corps rescued more than 10,000 slaves this time, and some of them were not easy to settle down. β
Jin Long nodded, this is indeed a tricky question.
Generally speaking, the rescued slaves, after being selected, will be divided. Those with good physique were shunted to the army, and some with poor physique. It is shunted into the city and given a free identity.
If this is 12,000, 340,000, the territory that the Qin army now controls is large enough. If you go down, you will be gone. But the slave liberation group rescued so many slaves before and after, and several territories were just undergoing conquest, so they all needed to recuperate. It's really hard to do.
Not to mention the Polar City that was defeated, because of the great construction and reconstruction, a lot of blood was drawn in Lingtu City and Soul Fortune City. Now with such a large number of slaves, it is really difficult for Qiu Wenhe.
Jin Long thought for a moment. Touching his chin and said, "Wenhe, you wait for a while, I'll send someone to find General Qin, it just so happens that I haven't seen General Qin for a long time, so I went over to talk to him." β
The people sent out came back after a while, and told the golden dragon that General Qin was looking high on the peak outside the polar city, and General Qin asked Qiu Wenhe and the golden dragon to come over.
Jin Long and Qiu Wenhe immediately rushed to the Glance Peak, and when Qin Ning saw the two of them coming, he immediately greeted them with a smile and asked the two of them to come over to see the scenery together.
Standing on the top of the mountain, you can take in the scenery within a radius of hundreds of miles.
Qiu Wenhe was a little crying: "General Qin, are you still in the mood to see the scenery? I'm almost sad to death." The Slave Liberation Corps has sent more than 10,000 freed slaves, and you can give me an idea of how to settle down. β
Qin Ning frowned slightly: "So much?"
Qin Ning understood Qiu Wenhe's difficulty, thirty percent of these rescued slaves could not be incorporated into the army. These people also need to be recuperated, that is, within a month or two, these people will be dry to eat. Now because food buildings are needed in various places, Qiu Wenhe can't hold on.
"Brother Golden Dragon, how is the situation in Polar City?"
Jin Long knew that Qin Ning was asking about the loss of the Polar City, now the Polar City was a big hole where money was thrown in, and it would take a long time to rebuild if the Polar City could be turned into a productive territory.
"General Qin, now the large-scale construction of Polar City has been basically completed. The reconstruction of civilian facilities is still underway, and the materials and materials are ready. Right now, the biggest shortage is food. β
Qin Ning's brows furrowed, being in charge and fighting a war are two completely different transactions, fighting a war can be won at any cost, but being in charge of the house, you have to carefully maintain your own territory.
Parents are not so easy to be, when the family opens their mouths to eat, you have to take out food, and when you need to spend money, you have to take out money. Otherwise, why should you be a parent?
"There is!" Qin Ning pointed into the distance and said, his eyes were sharp and a little complicated, "Our landing is in that direction." β
Jin Long and Qiu Wenhe looked at it, although they couldn't see anything, but they knew what direction it was.
"Wude City?" Qiu Wenhe suddenly opened his mouth wide and asked with a face full of disbelief, "No, won't you?" General Qin, do you want to fight Wude City? Isn't this just the end of a fight? Now we are all anxious ourselves, where is there still leisure to covet there?"
Is this to kill a horse pistol?
Jin Long also felt incredible, shook his head again and again and said, "Yes, General Qin, Wen He has a point. Now that our army is inseparable, the logistics supply is tight, and we are worried about Wude City, it's a bit too much, right?"
Who would have thought that this Qin Ning shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Jinlong." Wenhe, do you know what I'm thinking about here these days? I'm just thinking about Wude City! I know what you're saying. But have you ever heard of a saying, "If you don't think, you don't get anything." Isn't it?"
Only then did Qiu Wenhe realize that Qin Ning was not joking, he was really going to covet Wude City, so he had to talk about what he said.
Wude City is the second of the seven stars in the hands of the second prince, not to mention the strong defense of the city, that is, the second prince led the remnants of Lingtu City after the new defeat, and increased the defense force there.
Counting up, the second prince has at least 200,000 troops in Wude City. If that were to be counted. If the Qin army wants to take Wude City, it must use at least 300,000 troops.
Let's not talk about whether we can get together these siege troops, even if there are so many people's material supplies, I can't make up the supplies that kill Qiu Wenhe.
There is also the Battle of Polar City, the tactics used by Qin Ning are extremely consuming ordnance and ammunition. Some high-grade alchemy weapons, after such a long period of replenishment, have only reached the number of a battle base.
To sum it up. Thinking about Wude City is no different from dreaming.
Seeing Qiu Wenhe talking more and more excitedly, spitting stars flying around, Qin Ning smiled all of a sudden. said: "Wenhe, don't get excited, who said that we must attack Wude City by force?"
Qiu Wenhe was choked all of a sudden.
If Qin Ning and Qiu Wenhe were arguing about offense and defense. Qiu Wenhe was not afraid, but Qin Ning said that he would not attack hard at all. made Qiu Wenhe suddenly lose the focus of speaking.
Jin Long's heart moved: "What does General Qin mean, is it not a soldier who surrenders without a fight?"
Qin Ning didn't speak. But he nodded approvingly.
"A soldier who surrenders without a fight?" Qiu Wenhe said to Jin Long, "General Jin Long, I just want to know, what do you and General Qin think? Wude City has an army of 200,000 troops, and the second prince of the mastermind is still there. Wude City is the only city with a seven-star iron wall in the hands of the second prince, will the second prince work hard?"
Jin Long was a little excited when he saw Qiu Wenhe, knowing that Qiu Wenhe had been working too hard these days. If there is really a large-scale military operation, Qiu Wen and this think tank, plus the person in charge of logistics and supplies, will probably have the heart to cry.
Thinking of this, Jin Long appeased Qiu Wenhe and said his thoughts.
The two armies are facing each other, and the spiritual will of the military commander is the right thing. To put it bluntly, a flock of sheep led by a lion can defeat a flock of lions led by a sheep.
That is to say, the spiritual will of the military commander determines the direction of the battle on the Dacheng dΓΉ.
The second prince shrunk into Wude City, yes, the surface power is very strong, sitting on 200,000 troops, and Wude City is also high and thick. However, the second prince experienced the fiasco of Soul Luck City, the rout of Lingtu City, and the fact that Qin Ning rescued two thousand slaves not long ago, and now he is a frightened bird.
Now, even if there are 10,000 troops in front of Wude City, the second prince may not have the determination and courage to come out and fight.
Just imagine, if the military commanders have become like this, what else can they do next? Even if there are loyal and brave men who want to fight, they will be severely reprimanded by the second prince. In this way, the morale of the military will become worse and worse, and it may even be dispersed.
Therefore, when thinking about Wude City, we must not think about the army, but work psychological deterrence. As long as the enemy's will to resist can be broken, then the rest of the work will be a matter of course.
Qiu Wenhe is not a pedantic person, and after listening to Jin Long's explanation, he couldn't help but nod his head again and again.
But Qiu Wenhe still has doubts, no matter how it goes, if you want to take Wude City in the end, you still have to rely on the army, and the 200,000 enemy can't be settled by talking.
Jin Long glanced at Qin Ning and said with a smile: "In this regard, I don't have a specific plan. However, I think that since General Qin dares to say this, he must be confident. β
Qin Ning laughed and said his thoughts: "The current situation of the Qin army is that it is impossible to draw out 300,000 troops and necessary materials to conduct such a big battle. If you want to take Wude City, you must win by surprise!"
What Jin Long said coincided with Qin Ning ideologically. But in terms of specific implementation, Qin Ning's method opened the eyes of Qiu Wenhe and Jin Long.
Qin Ning advocated attacking Wude City's troops, not 300,000, but 100,000!
This number, even the golden dragon was dumbfounded.
It's not a joke, is it?
100,000 troops, to attack 200,000 troops with strong fortifications?
Qin Ning saw the shock of the two, and explained to Jin Long and Qiu Wenhe, saying that these 100,000 troops could not be transferred from Lingtu City and Soul Fortune City, so they used the recruits rescued by the slave liberation group!
After several tosses by the slave liberation group, the rescued slaves will probably be able to gather 100,000 people, so use these people!
In fact, Jin Long's judgment was the same as Qin Ning's.
That is, no matter how many troops appear outside Wude City, the second prince no longer has the courage and determination to fight a decisive battle.
If the second prince is in the limelight, or is forced to have nothing, then the second prince will come out to fight.
Now, the second prince is in a very embarrassing situation.
Does he have any guts? (To be continued......
