"The strength of the civilians of the ancient clan is not low, as long as they are adults and have a little training, they can reach the strength of the Great Xia Human Wheel, and they can already be regarded as low-level officers in the Great Xia Human Wheel.

They are also not short of courage. It can be seen from the fact that there are a large number of civilians resisting in Yusheng City and Liao City, and they are defending the city at a critical moment.

All they lacked was weapons, training to cooperate with combat, and someone to organize them. ”

"Although war is the business of soldiers, at a time like this, when the army cannot protect them, they need to protect themselves.

Although there will be some casualties, it is still better than the current situation. ”

"As long as a small number of elite soldiers are the backbone, civilians are used as flesh and blood. For example, a team of ten people, one of whom is an elite soldier and nine civilians, can form an army with considerable combat effectiveness in a very short time. And if it is necessary to replenish the army, they form combat effectiveness faster than recruits recruited from the mountains. Ren Baqian analyzed on the radio.

"The matter...... Feasible. Hongwu was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke. While he doesn't like to push civilians into battle, at this juncture, he has to find a way to turn the tide.

Otherwise, if that army is allowed to destroy in the hinterland of Dayao, then even if they are driven away, I don't know how long it will take to recover.

Not to mention the 200,000 reinforcements in Great Xia, as long as there are 100,000 reinforcements and the 70,000 troops outside Liao City, they can drag the flying cavalry and the Central Protectorate Army in Liao City, and if the 100,000 also go deep into the hinterland of Dayao, then the total will exceed 180,000, even if the 5,000 reinforcements from the Southern Protectorate arrive, they are likely to be swallowed by them in one bite.

If that happens, the situation will be even more difficult.

"As long as such a system is implemented, they can live their own lives in peacetime and gather together in wartime. In this way, there is no need to consume too much grain, but in a short period of time, an army of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, can be pulled out in a short period of time. ”

"Elder Deacon, call Qin Chuan over to discuss this issue together. The empress commanded.

"There is another problem, that is, the two armies that have entered Da Yao, since they are replenishing food and grass on the spot, then we can completely clear the wilderness, tell all the people in the stockade to take everything they can eat, gather in the city, and let them get nothing in the wilderness. If the city is broken, then the people in the city will be evacuated, and all the food that cannot be taken will be destroyed.

If they want to replenish grain and grass on the spot, then let them have nothing to gain, they can only retreat, or be replenished by Great Xia. If it's the former, we can cut off their back and swallow them. If it is the latter, we can cut off the grain and grass line, force them to retreat, and then block their way back. Ren Baqian continued.

"There are not enough troops. Li Qianqiu's words show that he is really powerless at present.

In the face of the menacing Great Xia, Da Yao fell into passivity in a short period of time.

"The sixteen towns north of Lancheng, if implemented according to the method of the people, can draw at least 3,000 troops, although most of the south of Lancheng has been transferred, but it should still be able to make up 1,500 troops, right?

We have a radio station to contact at any time, but the other side can't. ”

When it comes to the radio station, everyone's hearts are a little more relaxed, this is their biggest advantage over Great Xia at present.

"And why not change the method of warfare? If we are fewer than them, the 8,000 army will have the combat effectiveness of their 80,000 army, and it will be much more flexible than them. And many people are born in the mountains and forests, and they are good at bows and arrows.

We can fight around them, harass them with bows and arrows at all times, and retreat when we hit a wave, and the enemy will not be able to catch up with us unless they are cavalry. A small number of cavalry, just eat it. Ren Baqian said again.

"Although our soldiers' arm strength is stronger than that of the Great Xia army, we are not as good as Dayao in the production of bows and arrows, so the range of the two sides is very close. When our soldiers are able to attack each other with bows and arrows, and at the same time are exposed to each other's bows and arrows, our losses during each engagement are the greatest.

On the contrary, it is a hard encounter between the two sides after they are close, and the loss will be much smaller. Hongwu answered Ren Baqian's question.

"It's not that there's no way, just move fast. The Great Xia Army is bloated, and its flexibility is much worse than ours. Ren Baqian thought for a while, he thought of Genghis Khan's army at the beginning.

Although the Gu people rely on two legs, they are not fast in running.

"But when we reached the vicinity of the Great Xia Army, they had already discovered it. "Hongwu insisted on his opinion on this matter.

Ren Baqian didn't refute him again, Hongwu knew more about the situation in this regard than himself, and he still had to stay at the front line for a while to see.

Next, everyone discussed the militia group and the fortified wall Qingye for a long time.

Ren Baqian really wanted to name the militia group the City Management Brigade, and this name alone could provide at least a 30% increase in combat power. It's a pity that the empress's veto directly rejected him.

Although it is the right way to do it at the moment, the thought of destroying all the crops that have not yet grown is a little distressing for everyone in Dayao. After this battle, Da Yao is afraid that he will have to tighten his stomach.

"You don't need to worry about the grain, just wait for the potatoes to ripen. Moreover, there is no shortage of food in Great Xia. Ren Baqian comforted everyone. As long as the current army of Great Xia is disabled, then the situation on both sides will be reversed, and a large area of Great Xia will be left to be hired.

The end was agreed upon by the radio station, and the Ministry of War worked non-stop on the affairs of the militia group, and a large number of weapons that were originally intended to be used to equip the recruits were transferred to many towns north of Arashijo.

And Shi Qing also ordered all towns to collect the civilians in the nearby villages, take away the food that could be taken away, and destroy what could not be taken away.

Da Yao's entire north moved.

Ren Baqian continued to travel northeast, and after a day's walk, he rested in a village for the night.

"My lord, what's going on now?" Early in the morning, the clan elder looked at the eight thousand people who were about to eat and asked, ordinary people don't know much about the current situation of the war, but they have also heard that there are cities in the north that have been destroyed by the Great Xia army.

"Immediately the order will come down, and all the stockades will gather up the grain and go into the nearest town, and take away what can be taken away, and destroy what cannot be taken away. Ren Baqian turned his head and said, even if the other party didn't ask, he had to say that it was too close to the front line.

"How can this work?" exclaimed the patriarch. Now the vegetables in the field will be ripe in half a month, and some of them will be sold for their own use, and some of them will be sold in the city for meat, which can solve nearly half of their food rations. As for the other half, there are buffaloes and other livestock raised in the stockade.

If this half is missing, I am afraid that the future will not be easy.

"Xia Jun is coming. This grain is not destroyed, but it is prepared for them. Evacuate to the city, and the court will settle it. Ren Baqian said lightly.

At this time, I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the mouth of the village.

"My lord, it's Xia Jun!" Shi Hu listened attentively, and his color sank.

Ren Baqian tilted his head, you guys ran faster than Cao Cao?

"Everyone, get ready to eat chicken. "Ren Baqian is not too nervous, what he can meet here should be the scattered Xia Jun.
