Chapter 239: Siege and Reinforcement (2)
There was a bit of a malfunction in the body, heheγγγ dizzy, so I didn't update it for two daysγγγ
Chang Ming was not confident anymore, because of the difference in the fighting spirit and weapons of the soldiers, he felt that the destruction of the city was imminent, if there were no reinforcements coming. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
In fact, Chang Ming's thinking was very correct, if Ma Huan wanted to take down the city of western Yunnan, he would be able to do it on the first day.
Ma Huan and Chang Ming used to be ministers in the same palace, and they were both generals who led a border army alone and held important positions, one of the few people in the Suli country who had outstanding military achievements.
The difference is that Ma Huan's border army has been fighting recently, but Chang Ming has not really fought for a long time, and last time he just came out for a walk and fought a few small battles, or with the assistance of the old marquis.
If it weren't for the fact that Ye Chenghai didn't have the right to command the army at that time, otherwise, with Ye Chenghai's ability, he would definitely bite him a few times.
In terms of leadership ability, Chang Ming is not as good as Ma Huan, but Ma Huan is now raising his eyebrows.
After he surrendered to Zhang Xian, Zhang Xian was not stingy, and gave him a new weapon, and the food and salary were sufficient, which made the soldiers enthusiastic and high-spirited.
Another important point is that all the soldiers who serve in the army will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, although this is not surprising, but the reward of the field is exciting, the more merit, the more land they get, the greater the benefits their families get.
Although many countries have banned slavery in the Yanyue Continent, the land is still occupied by major families, and more than ninety percent of the common people do not have their own land, so they can only rent the land of those large families.
And the people on the Xianyue Continent are extremely fertile, the poorer the family, the more they can have children, a family, usually can have six or seven children, more children can not afford to raise, the only way out for the older ones to survive is to go to the army, become a soldier can also subsidize the family, mix well and have a chance to get ahead, of course, such an opportunity is only three or two out of a hundred, and it is said that he met a good general.
One of the national policies adopted by Zhang Xian when he established the Xia Dynasty was to face middle and low-level soldiers, with land as a reward, regardless of whether he was killed or injured in battle, he was disabled, and he was compensated according to the law.
The vast territory of the Chu State, this time the dynasty was changed, Zhang Xian took the opportunity to kill more than two-thirds of those big families, vacated a lot of borderless land, plus rewarded for opening up wasteland and cultivating land, there was a lot of land.
With this national policy, the enthusiasm of the officers and men in the army is high.
If they die in battle, they will not only win land and pensions for their families, but they will not starve to death on the streets if they are disabled, and they will be promoted if they do a good job, and they can also get cultivation secrets and cultivation resources with certain military exploits, which makes them highly motivated.
Feeding an army of more than one million people, for Zhang Xian, who had just founded the country, is indeed under great pressure, and it can be said that he is operating in debt.
But if he wants to dominate the world, he has to do his best to get through this hurdle, and no matter how poor he is, he can't treat the soldiers who worked hard for him.
Fortunately, he finally agreed to fund him.
Sitong Money Bank provided Zhang Xian with a lot of funds, but this is not borrowed for nothing, there is interest, for this, Zhang Xian did not say, people can lend you money is very lucky, pay interest is justified.
The change of clothes of his army is all thanks to Xu Fang's underground workshop and the Zhang family's workshop.
Su Wei received Chang Ming's urgent letter for help in a row, and he couldn't help but be as big as a fight.
"This Zhang Xian is so hateful, the two-year contract was torn up like this. β
Su Qing shook his head secretly, the two-year verbal agreement between Su Wei and Zhang Xian was not binding at all, at that time, it was a clumsy way for Su Xian to think of to contain Zhang Xian, Su Qing opposed Su Xian's suppression of Zhang Xian, who had made great contributions and saved his life.
If you use the method of enveloping and soothing, it may be a different situation.
Zhang Xian was suppressed, and naturally felt an existential crisis, so he rose to the challenge, the more he was suppressed, the more he was forced, he had to enhance his strength, only if his strength was strong enough, he was not afraid of anyone suppressing him.
And Zhang Xianneng has the current achievements, but he has a credit from Su Yu.
"King, Zhang Xian is hateful, how to rescue Chang Ming's 100,000 people is the top priority. β
Seeing that Su Yu was just complaining, but there was no proposal to rescue Chang Ming, Su Qing couldn't help but be even more disappointed in Su Wei's current ability, and spoke with some disrespect, but Su Wei didn't seem to feel it.
"Send reinforcements and wipe out those traitors by the way. β
Su Yu waved his hand as if he didn't care.
The old marquis Dong frowned, but when it came to Zhang Xian, he couldn't say much, for fear of arousing Su Yu's suspicion.
Su Qing also frowned.
"Reinforcements are necessary, but you also have to pay attention to the strategy, don't get γγγ"
"I know, let Su Hu take the Dragon Banner Army to go. β
Su Yu interrupted Su Qing's warning with a wave of his hand, and decided to let Su Hu go to reinforce Chang Ming.
The Dragon Banner Army was re-established later, the personnel were mixed, the combat effectiveness was not high, most of the generals were the children of the nobility, the soldiers were mainly military slaves, each general had 3,000 private soldiers in his hands, these 3,000 private soldiers were the main force, more than 30,000 private soldiers of the 100,000 Dragon Banner Army, and the remaining half of the military slaves and half of the veterans of the original Dragon Banner Army.
The Dragon Banner Army is the team of the eldest prince, and the eldest prince went to Zongmiao, and the Dragon Banner Army belonged to the second prince.
If the Dragon Banner Army was at its peak when it was in the hands of the eldest prince, it was only because after the Great Elder plundered the eldest prince, the Dragon Banner Army was divided, and finally almost collapsed, and after it was reorganized, it almost became the private army of the nobles.
Su Qing sighed secretly, then stopped talking, it was useless to say something, Su Qing's temperament changed greatly, as if everything was done by preference, he didn't accept words, and waved his hand to decide everything.
Dong Yidao opened his mouth, trying to persuade Su Yu not to lead the army in person, after all, he is now a prince, and it is not appropriate to get involved, and there are still many veterans in the court, and it is better to send that one than the second prince.
But seeing Su Qing, who was frowning and full of melancholy but helpless, the old marquis didn't want to be bored, so he simply shut up.
The second prince sent troops and went west with 100,000 dragon banner troops to reinforce Chang Ming.
Su Yu sat in the harem, his face was not very good, and during this time he was always in a trance, dizzy, and forgetful.
Han Yu walked out from behind the bead curtain, there was a secret door there, and only Han Yu dared to go there, it was Su Yu's permission.
"It's not a wise move for you to send Su Hu out. β
Han Yu said a little unhappily.
"Oh, father-in-law. β
Su Yu got up and invited Han Yu to take a seat.
"Tea. β
Han Yu sat down, and some palace people withdrew after serving tea.
"Father-in-law, do you know, it is very likely that the Yushan camp and the secret capital were discovered and occupied by Zhang Xian, because the East Shoucheng has been occupied by Zhang Xian's people, and I have just gotten the news, I am now powerless to turn the tables, I don't want Su Hu to die here, he may be able to fall into Zhang Xian's hands to escape, so I deliberately let him leave the royal city. β
"Oh, you gave up?"
