079 The Mongolian army is coming
(Ask for recommendation, ask for collection!! I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!!)
Guo Jing smiled and said, "Brother Li, please take a seat!" Li Tian was not polite when he heard this, and sat down on the stool next to him, a little curious in his heart, he invited himself over for something, and said politely: "Brother Guo, I don't know what is the matter?" Guo Jing pondered for a while and said: "Not long ago, the spies came to report that Mongolia had gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to the south, and it would only take half a month to reach Xiangyang City, I don't know if Brother Li has any good advice to defend the city." ”
Li Tian couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops were coming, this was a difficult battle, he pondered for a moment, and slowly spoke: "Brother Guo, I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in the city?" Guo Jing replied: "Only 10,000." "These are all secrets in the army, if it were someone else, they would definitely not tell him, but Li Tian is an outsider. Li Tianxin sighed, Xiangyang City is the first fortified city for the Mongolian army to go south, but there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and even how much water the soldiers in the city have, even if it goes without saying that he knows that there will never be more than 8,000 warriors, plus the heroes and heroes who come from the rivers and lakes, it will definitely not exceed 15,000 people, and it is really difficult, difficult, difficult to hold Xiangyang City!
Li Tian groaned: "Brother Guo, the Mongolian army must not have much food and grass when it comes from afar, we only need to defend the city for half a year at most, and they will definitely retreat!" Guo Jing nodded when he heard this, he was the marshal of the Western Expedition of the Mongolian army in the past, and he would never be weak in terms of military ability, but what shocked him was that Li Tian knew this, he was young and strong in martial arts, if he was still so good at marching and fighting, even if he started learning from his mother's womb, he couldn't be so demonic!
Li Tian ignored Guo Jing's shock and continued: "I have heard that every time the Mongol army attacks a city, it will drive the people of the enemy country to go ahead, and then the army will follow behind and attack. After hearing this, Guo Jing nodded again, and secretly said in his heart why he didn't expect it! Li Tian continued: "There are many people in the city, we can organize them to defend the city together, and there are too few troops in the city, so we must expand the army." "The combat power of the Mongolian army is obvious to all, they are rampant in European countries, and now they are ten times their own enemies, he really has no confidence to hold on, although Guo Jing persisted in the original book, but the current world has long been changed beyond recognition, and he can't rely too much on what the book says.
Guo Jing's face is not good-looking, he is naturally aware of these drawbacks, but the military salary of the imperial court is really not enough, it is not enough to expand the army at all, why is it: "But what about the military salary?" After Li Tian heard this, he understood his scruples in his heart, the imperial court did not care about Xiangyang City at all, and there was no military salary to support the expansion of the army, and he muttered: "I can solve the matter of Brother Guo's military salary, as long as you agree." After Guo Jing heard this, he nodded and said, "Well, I'll go and ask General Lu later." Li Tian understood when he heard this General Lu, he must be talking about Lu Wende, the defender of Xiangyang City, and sneered at this person in his heart, the book said that he was mediocre and incompetent, if it wasn't for Guo Jing and his wife, the city was broken early, how could he defend it for decades.
Li Tian said again: "In addition, Brother Guo can gather some martial arts people and go to the rear of the Mongolian army to cause sabotage. Guo Jing couldn't help but wonder when he heard this, and wondered: "Sabotage?" He didn't understand the meaning of his words for a while. After hearing this, Li Tian felt that there was something wrong with his words, and replied: "Oh, it's the generals who assassinated the enemy, and burned their grain and grass." "If these people are used to defend the city, they are definitely not as powerful as the regular army, after all, they have not received real training, and they are very lazy, and I am afraid that they will not even be able to stand in an orderly formation. But it is undoubtedly more appropriate to do these things outside than in the army.
Li Tian finally said: "Brother Guo still needs to prepare grain and grass, otherwise after a long time, I am afraid it will not be enough." "This is destined to be a difficult battle, and there must be enough food and grass, otherwise Xiangyang will become a dead city by then. Guo Jing nodded, these things naturally have to be prepared enough. A burst of applause came from outside the door, and I saw Huang Rong come in with a pot of tea, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Li was young, but his ability to march and fight was not weak. "In fact, the two invited Li Tian over, just to show that they attach importance to him, after all, the other party is a top master worthy of wooing, as for what good ideas can be made, I really don't expect it, his martial arts are already so high, and his ability to fight is definitely not good, of course, if it is in Huang Yaoshi and others, it is not surprising.
Li Tian said lightly: "It's just that I've read a few military books when I'm bored, if there are some bad things, I hope don't be surprised!" He has been in the army for many years, and he still has some ability to march and fight, and he doesn't dare to say that he is a master of the art of war, but at least he is not weak. If it weren't for the fact that gunpowder production was too troublesome, taking out this kind of big killing weapon would definitely knock them over.
Huang Rong smiled, her red lips lifted lightly, and said, "It's a pity if Brother Li doesn't become a general!" Just after reading a few military books, he has such a unique opinion, and he can only say that he is too talented. Li Tian sighed when he heard this: "The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks, forget it!" In the last life, he was extremely disappointed in some people, in the rain of bullets for many years, he was born and died for the army, but he ended up like this, naturally it is impossible to serve the country, not to mention that the emperor of this world is not a Ming Jun, there is no need for him to be like Yue Fei.
Guo Jingteng stood up, pointed at him in disbelief and said angrily: "How can you say such a rebellious thing. Li Tian didn't expect Guo Jing to be so angry, even if he was with Li Mochou, he didn't get so angry! The court is mediocre, even loyal ministers like Yue Fei were killed, I have no reason to protect their country, if it weren't for the dawn of the world, the Song Dynasty would not be my business. ”
Guo Jing's eyes were red, and it seemed that his anger was getting bigger and bigger, Li Tian saw that he was angry, and he didn't want to provoke him again, so he arched his hand and said: "I still have something at home, let's retire for the time being!" After speaking, without waiting for the two to react, he walked straight out of the door and walked towards the house, and the two looked at his figure in a daze.
