That night.

When Wang Sheng was in Xinzheng, he knew the strategy of Qi King Sima Jiong.

Wang Sheng went to summon Hua Heng, Zhang Guang, Zhang Hong and others overnight.

"Everyone, please read this letter."

Wang Sheng put down the letter, and Hua Heng, as the commander of the army, was naturally the first to read it.

Before he finished reading the letter, Hua Heng had a look of surprise on his face.

"King Qi is going to attack us."

Zhang Hong and Zhang Guang took the letter and read it carefully.

"Sending troops in two days, it seems that King Qi is about to sink his ship."

"good."

Wang Sheng nodded slightly.

"At first I thought that King Qi would choose to lie dormant. After all, now that Wei Cang has been destroyed, the situation is no longer optimistic for King Qi. But now it seems that King Qi is very courageous. He actually did it when his morale was so low.

Under such circumstances, we dare to send troops."

Although he was not surprised that King Qi sent troops, Zhang Guang thought from King Qi's side that this was not a good idea.

King Qi is gambling.

Bet on winning the battle before the food and grass are exhausted.

"General Zhang Guang didn't know something. The King of Qi was also forced to have no choice. He has many Yuzhou rebellious people. He can't take these rebellious people away. If he withdraws, these rebellious people may cause chaos and send troops. For these rebellious people,

, it can be considered consumption.”

"If it's just those random people who come to attack, then why should I be afraid of them?"

These armies of common people may be very good at beating down drowned dogs, but if you want them to attack cities and evict strongholds, I'm afraid you are thinking too much.

Under normal circumstances, once the casualty rate of an ordinary army exceeds 30%, it will be completely scrapped. This so-called scrapping means a complete loss of combat capability, rather than a collapse of morale and a loss of fighting spirit.

This is almost the limit of what they can bear.

The reason is not only the training and command of the army, but the most important thing is the composition of the army. Due to logistics needs, the proportion of soldiers in an army who can actually face the enemy will basically not exceed 1/3, and the remaining 2/3 is not so much

They are soldiers, rather than coolies. They have no fighting ability at all, and the general will not let these people stand in the front to fight against the enemy.

A 30% battle loss rate is equivalent to sacrificing all soldiers who can fight...

The actual number of the so-called 10,000 troops is only 5,000. Among these 5,000, there are at most 2,000 combat soldiers. The remaining 3,000 are auxiliary soldiers with no training and almost no weapons and equipment. These auxiliary soldiers can only do hard work, such as building camps.

, pull grain trucks, help soldiers carry equipment, chop firewood for cooking, etc...

On the battlefield, they can only be used to build momentum and chase fleeing enemies. They cannot directly confront the enemy head-on...

In the army of the cold weapon era, the gap between professional and non-professional soldiers was not that big. As long as there were sufficient funds, temporary strong men could be trained into professional soldiers in a short time, because the daily training of professional soldiers in those eras was not

There are too many, and it is not very difficult to catch up with intensive training.

It's like these rioters were exploited to the point of being unable to live due to the tyranny of the new land tax. If they were instigated by thoughtful people, their fighting power would probably be negligible.

Although the rebels seemed to number hundreds of thousands, it was still unknown how many of them could actually fight.

The reason why Zhang Guang was repeatedly afraid was that he was afraid of the defenders of Wancheng and Xuchang. The defenders of Wancheng and Xuchang were truly elite.

"Even if the rioters are not something to be afraid of, they are so numerous that they should not be underestimated."

As the saying goes: too many ants can kill an elephant.

Now I look at those rioters who feel vulnerable, but rioters are also human lives, and they also need to consume arrows.

Once all the arrows, fire, oil, and rolling wood in the city are used up, the defense of the city will be a naked hand-to-hand battle.

The soldiers in the North Camp of the Chinese Army are naturally the best among the best, but they are small in number after all.

In addition, this Changge City is not a fortified city, and its defeat after repeated attacks may not be unimaginable.

"Don't panic, these chaotic people are not our enemies."

Wang Sheng's words made Zhang Guang, Zhang Hong and Hua Heng stunned for a moment.

"What does the coach mean?"

Wang Sheng smiled softly and said: "These rogue people are just confused by King Qi. Once they benefit from the great righteousness, these rogue people will become our people in an instant."

Peasants in ancient China were the most honest and hardworking. Of course, in the eyes of dignitaries and the ruling class, they were also the easiest group to bully.

The saying that water can carry a boat can also overturn it is certainly true.

But before the boat capsized, no matter how you squeezed these farmers, he had no choice but to work hard without complaining.

Just like now, as long as Wang Sheng promises some benefits to these people, there is no need to implement them. If he gives them a good meal, I'm afraid these rogue people will obediently use them for his own use.

As long as they don't starve to death, no one will rise up to resist.

"I saw that the coach already had a plan."

"nature."

Wang Sheng looked at Hua Heng and said: "Sima can write a memorial about the great victory today. In two days, he will definitely win a great victory. I don't know whether King Qi's affairs can be handled well, but Yingchuan County will definitely be recovered."

Hua Heng's face was complicated, but in the end a smile appeared on his face.

"Then I'll wait and see."

"But just in case...

Next, Wang Sheng discussed several plans for Katsuragi's defense in Xinzheng.

What will happen in reality is not certain.

One more set of plans means one more layer of protection.

....

Two days passed by in a hurry.

In the past two days, the adobe walls of Changge City were widened and thickened, and there were constant traps between the inner city and the outer city.

In a short period of time, Changgecheng's defense couldn't get any better.

And in Changsha.

There is an undercurrent surging in the rioters' tent outside the city.

So when the commander, King Fan Yang, was about to send out troops, except for the 5,000 armors he brought from Fan Yang, hundreds of thousands of other soldiers did not listen to his command.

None of the rebel leaders who usually came early came today.

King Fan Yang was originally in a bad mood, but when he saw these leaders of the chaos acting like this, he became even more irritable.

"Where are they?"

"Your Majesty, I have never seen those rebel commanders today!"

"snort!"

King Fan Yang snorted coldly and said: "After all, they are just rioters. They can't get into the elegant hall. Please hurry up and hurry up. Today is the time to send troops. If you waste time, let them meet with each other."

"promise."

The generals and commanders around him sent people to notify him, but it was like sand and gravel falling into the sea, and not even a single wave stirred up.

Gradually, King Fan Yang smelled an unusual smell in it.

In normal times, these rebel leaders are more active than the other, but now...

But no one came.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

What went wrong?
Chapter completed!
