Chapter 359: Temple Calculation
"Hehe, before the official document of the Senate is issued, you will be the acting city lord at most, and I can also temporarily act as the city lord of Kamikaze City for a few days. Yu Ming's toad eyes turned and said seriously, "Since Uncle Bai Cen refuses to see me, then I will say ugly things in front."
Within five days, if you don't come to Kamikaze City to marry me, Kamiwind City will officially declare war on Zhuguang City. The Yu and Bai families will either become relatives or enemies, and I don't mind at all in what capacity you marry me. Hahaha. ”
Bai Yun's eyes were almost bursting with flames, her hands rattled the seat, and she thought: Patience, you have to endure, I can't turn my face with this ugly guy right away, I have to pretend to carry the burden of the family.
Another middle-aged goat-bearded man who followed Yu Ming had been observing Bai Yun and Bai Quan's expressions, and was very satisfied when he saw Bai Yun's angry and forbearant expression.
"It is not beneficial for the Bai and Yu families to meet each other, do you have to be so aggressive? I want to inherit the position of the city lord, not only will I not marry you, but I will not marry anyone, Kamikaze City insists on this, do you want to annex my Pearl City?" even though he was unwilling to Bai Yun's tone, he softened a little.
"Marriage is good for both families, the two cities will be richer and more prosperous if they become husband and wife, you don't have to make a decision now, you still have a chance to come to kamikaze before my kamikaze army sets out. Yu Ming sneered.
"Even if you fight to the death, the Bai family will not agree to your request, and from today onwards, the people of Kamikaze City will be listed as persona non grata, please go back. Bai Yun said with a straight face.
"Okay, since you are so ignorant, then let you see the fate of offending Kamikaze, and even if you kneel down and beg me, I may not marry you. Hum. Yu Ming was not surprised by this result, he had already officially torn his face, he didn't dare to continue to lie in Zhuguang City, and left in a hurry with the people of Kamikaze City.
"Mr. Cheng, what do you think of Bai Yun's reaction?" Yu Ming asked the goat-bearded man on the way out.
Mr. Cheng pinched his chin beard with three fingers, shook his head and said: "That Bai Yun has straight eyebrows and strong eyes, she is a person with a strong personality, and she actually said soft words after hearing the official declaration of war, which shows that there has been a big change in the Bai family, and she has no confidence to start a war with Kamikaze City."
In the end, Bai Yun listed Kamikaze City as persona non grata, and he would not paralyze us with false promises, proving that this was the immaturity of the young city lord, and the Bai family was no longer empty. That one-handed arrangement seems to have worked, and the next thing is up to Commander Zang. ”
"Don't worry about Gongzi Yu and Mr. Cheng, even if Bai Cen is still here, I can kill them and abandon their armor. "The strong man has a proud face.
How the people of Kamikaze City are prepared not to mention, let's take a look at the response of Pearlescent City.
There are six towns in Zhuguang City that are engaged in farming operations, and four tribes are grazing, and now the six town mayors and four tribal leaders are gathered in the city lord's mansion to hold an emergency military meeting.
Bai Cen personally presided over the military meeting, and Bai Yun, Bai Quan and Ding Kui also participated.
"City Lord Bai, aren't you afraid that they will secretly collude with Kamikaze City and reveal the news that you are safe and sound?" Ding Kui asked in front of everyone.
Without waiting for Bai Cen to answer, Bai Quan, the captain of the personal guard, took the lead and said: "All of you here are the subjects of the city lord, whoever dares to betray the lord, I will punish him!"
"Hehe, they are all old men who are loyal to the Bai family, and they are both prosperous and lossy with Zhuguang City, I firmly believe that they will not betray the Bai family.
Come, let me introduce to you, this is the magician who saved my life, Your Excellency Xie Peng. Bai Cen pulled Ding Kui to introduce to his subordinates.
Bai Yun pursed her lips secretly: these three people sang and acted like each other.
Long before convening the military council, Ding Kui had already asked Bai Cen that the reason why this was arranged was to deter people who were wavering in their hearts.
Even if the aristocratic war starts, neither side can deliberately kill the other party's nobles, unless they are killed by mistake on the battlefield, but if they want to kill their own subjects, it can be done at any time.
"The population of Kamikaze City has grown rapidly in recent decades, and now it has a population of more than 500,000, and it is possible to form an army of 50,000 people just by recruiting subjects, not counting the troops that the Yu family has borrowed from other places.
Among them, there are 3,000 city defense troops and 1,000 kamikaze brigades belonging to the elite, as for the number of personal guards privately raised by the Yu family, it is unknown, judging from their financial resources, it should be between 500 and 1,000 people.
There is no major change in the population of our Zhuguang City, there are more than 300,000 people, of which the tribal population is about 70,000, and it is barely enough to form an army according to one out of ten to defend it. The only place where there is an advantage, we can pull out a cavalry force of ten thousand.
With the city defense army and the veterans who participated in the defense of the city, we can make up 4,000 elites, and we can't recruit elites from a few other places in five days, and this is our current strength. Bai Yun briefly analyzed the strength of both the enemy and the enemy.
One of the eldest tribal leaders stood up and said, "Before we came, we consulted with the big tribes who often come to Zhuguang City to do business, and they will secretly send people to support, and we can form a cavalry force of 15,000 people. ”
"Okay, Bai Yun, the cavalry troops will be led by you, and tomorrow you will go to the tribe and be with the warriors. Bai Cen waved his hand to let Bai Quan unfold the map, "The Yu family has always envied our cattle and horse market, and has long wanted to meddle in the trading of cattle and horses, and this war must have been carefully prepared."
Kamikaze City has the advantage in terms of strength and quality of soldiers, and it is expected that we will not go out of the city to fight them in the field, and will attack the six towns first by looting in the early stage. The lifeblood of our city is in the cattle and horse trade, and the longer the war lasts, the more unfavorable it will be for us, they can sack the six towns one by one, and then besiege Zhuguang City until they drag us down.
These five days were enough time for the residents of the Six Towns to move into the city, take all the food and goods with them, and directly attract the enemy army to the Pearl City. But we can't afford to delay, we must take the initiative to attack, Bai Yun led the cavalry deep into Kamikaze City to harass, let the enemy divide the troops to defend, and when the time is ripe, come back and cooperate with the main force in the city to flank the enemy forces outside the city. ”
Bai Cen's plan is nothing more than shrinking the defense, dividing troops to harass, and it cannot get rid of the situation that Zhuguang City has been in war for a long time, and no matter whether he wins or loses this battle, he will be greatly injured. It takes a lot of tricks to win quickly, and he's waiting for the right moment, for an opportunity for his enemies to make a mistake.
After the meeting, the mayor and the tribal leaders rushed back to their respective districts to make final preparations for the noble war.
"Lord Bai City, it's a bit passive to fight like this, as long as the army of Kamikaze City advances steadily, it will only besiege and not attack when it comes to Zhuguang City, and concentrate the cavalry to chase our cavalry, and it will not be a problem to fight for half a year and a year. Ding Kui saw the shortcomings of the plan.
"The nature of war determines the tactics of war, and if the enemy does not make a mistake, he will be caught in a protracted war. There are several factors that can cause an enemy to make a mistake.
The first factor is that as long as the war reaches their territory, kamikaze cannot let the war last too long, and cities without caravans will have no money to earn. There are mountains and rivers in the territory of Kamikaze City, which is inconvenient for cavalry raids, but it is suitable for small groups of troops to wander, as long as they disguise themselves as bandits to fight caravans on the road, no caravan dares to move around Kamikaze City.
The second factor, they believe that they have an absolute advantage in high-end forces, and they are likely to misjudge the situation and make the wrong tactical response. For example, in a field battle with similar troops, which side's high-end combat power is killed at once, it will lead to a major defeat for which side.
The third factor is that the weather here is the most unstable in spring, sometimes with strong winds and sand, sometimes heavy rain. The enemy troops stationed outside the city will be affected by the weather, and the defenders inside the city will not be affected at all, and this time there will be a morale difference, which can make up for the lack of troops.
It is difficult for the commander-in-chief of the enemy army to avoid the mistakes in decision-making brought about by these factors, and it depends on whether we can grasp and magnify the enemy's mistakes while avoiding our own mistakes. Patzen explained.
Ding Kui learned written knowledge in the Knight Guild, and in terms of actual combat, Tianmen Town resisted the beast tide, and he had not participated in the human group fight at the level of 10,000 people, so he was considered a rookie in front of Bai Cen.
"I was full of confidence when I saw the main army of Bai City, and I thought that you had thought of a plan to break the enemy. Ding Kui said embarrassedly.
"Hahaha, as a commander, you have to show strong self-confidence at all times, and there are many prerequisites for the kind of battle example of coming up with a plan to break the enemy before the start of the fight. On the battlefield, the factor of discharging troops is not mentioned, the commander fights to grasp the fighters, and the strategy is used when the fighters appear.
My self-confidence mainly comes from you and Ding Yu, as long as there are no magicians in the army of Kamikaze, then you will dominate the battlefield, whether it is a siege or a field battle, with the strength that Ding Yu showed this morning, it will be easy to kill the generals and capture the flag. With both of you here, the second factor I mentioned is bound to happen. Bai Czen laughed.
"Both Pearllight City and Kamikaze City have wizards' guilds, so any one of them will not be worse than me. ”
"I don't know about other countries, the Magician Guild of the Gu Yuan Empire does not intervene in the domestic aristocratic war in principle, there should be no emperor who wants his subjects to die in large numbers, and it is a common practice not to let magicians participate in internal fighting. Those wandering magicians and foreign magicians who have not joined the guild are not prohibited, and whoever can invite them is their own ability.
Kamikaze City is not rich enough to hire a magician, otherwise it would not be able to look down on the Pearlescent City's business. "Bai Cen specially asked the Magicians Guild in Pearlescent City today, and confirmed that no one in the Magicians Guild of Kamikaze City would make a move.
This sounds a bit awkward, it seems that if I make a move, I will cause a lot of casualties, which is a level of murderous maniac. However, I won't have a psychological barrier after destroying the kamikaze brigade, what is it not good to call, but this broken name.
Ding Kui has obstacles to such things as killing, and the concept that human life is a matter is deeply rooted in his mind, but out of a certain ethnic hatred, he will not be merciful to certain specific targets.
Zhuguang City is worthy of being a place that has experienced war, nearly 100,000 people from villages and towns under its jurisdiction have been moved into the city, and the whole city is still in order.
