"Young Master, I told them all as you told them. The voice was very loud. I can't guarantee that it will be fine for the 100 people to hear it." Liu Jun, the 500th Master, returned to the hill behind with a flattering smile on his face and behaved himself.

Report the results regularly.

There are some things that people of his level should not know.

This is why Wang Buxu asked Sima Xin to find someone who had met the opposing guard and had an impression of weapons, and then found Liu Jun, who was an ordinary soldier in the reserve camp.

In fact, not only Liu Jun, but also Sima Xin did not know that Dong Yi, who was going to Hebei, had been killed in battle.

And among the entire army, those five people were the only ones who knew about this matter.

"Yes!" Wang Buxu nodded slightly and said, "Promoted to a hundred generals!"

"Thank you, Master, for the reward!" Liu Jun excitedly saluted Wang Buxing.

Although he was previously the Lord of Five Hundred, he was now appointed as the Hundred General by Wang Buxu, which actually meant he was demoted.

But some accounts cannot be calculated this way.

First of all, the Qin army's internal affairs are much the same as Wang Buxu's. They are all short of junior officers.

He, the Lord of Five Hundred, is just a name in name. Before becoming Lord of Five Hundred, he was just a village chief.

He took a group of people, led 450 people, and gathered them into 500 people. This was the strength of his men.

The number of people was enough, but the combat power was something that even he couldn't bear to look at.

Most of the Qin army was in this situation, and Fang Jing and He were only five hundred leaders before.

Two lords of five hundred guarding a city?

And it’s also a city where a lot of grain and grass are stored?

Even if the two of them were promoted to military princes, how many tens of thousands of people would they bring with them?

The two of them are not actually responsible for the city, but it is their flag that is flying now.

But the generals on Wang Buxu's side are different. They are all veterans who have been trained for a long time. They have no shortage of combat skills. After two battles, they will immediately become experienced veterans.

and……

Liu Jun was the first to be appointed as a hundred generals among the surrendered troops. Those who were previously a thousand men and military princes were now being trained as ordinary soldiers in the reserve barracks.

"Sir, how do you write this..." Sima Xin, who watched the whole process, was a little confused.

There are some things that he himself doesn't even understand, so why should he write based on his own senses?

Outsmart Gong County?

It's not impossible, but it's just about outwitness. If there's no process, there's no way to connect it with the previous one. I'm afraid you won't be satisfied after reading it, and you'll be the only one who's tired by then.

"Write it truthfully. These battle examples are for other generals to learn from each other. What else do you want to write?" Wang Buxu glanced at Sima Xin, feeling a little confused.

Sima Xin nodded, thought for a moment, and started waving the knife and pen in his hand.

'In the second year of the Second World War, in the second month of July, the Young Master led an army of 40,000 and prepared 30,000 troops to Gong County. He could not bear to attack the city and suffer casualties, so he ordered the siege instead of attacking, and sent people to persuade him to surrender, in order to destabilize the morale of his army...'

Sima Xin didn't write it later, after all, the incident hadn't happened yet. He seemed to be disrespecting the facts by writing it in advance.

Gradually, Sima Xin found the way.

Regardless of whether he has it or not, the first thing he needs to do is to show the kindness of the prince. When encountering a battle, he cannot bear to let his soldiers die, so he uses other methods first.

And this other method shows the wisdom of the young master.

Kill two birds with one stone, perfect...

As for the king, he is not hungry.

I definitely don't want to attack a city.

If possible, no army in the world should want to fight a siege.

The disadvantage of the attacking side was too great, and they did not prepare any siege equipment during the march.

There was no time to build large siege engines or anything like that.

And now the only means of siege, apart from the temporary ladders, are the crossbows.

There is another name for strong crossbow, bed crossbow.

The crossbow arrow is as thin as a forearm and about two meters long.

It is used for stringing candied haws in the field. When attacking a city, if there is a lack of siege equipment, the crossbow can be fired at the city wall to build ladders.

When the soldiers arrived at the foot of the city, they climbed up following the crossbow arrows pierced into the city wall.

Many troops would rather bring crossbows than siege engines, which is really troublesome.

Wang Buxu was not as kind as Sima Xin wrote, he just wanted to capture Gong County as soon as possible.

Similarly, Wang Buxu did not completely give up the idea of ​​using force to solve the problem.

If something goes wrong, just go up and give a strong blow. If you can scare the other party into surrendering, everything will be fine.

It doesn't matter if you can't make the other side surrender. Anyway, what you say is true. Even if it isn't, it can still scare them into losing their morale.

If we attack at this time, wouldn't we get twice the result with half the effort?

Of course, with this combination of punches, what Sima Xin said seems to be right, why should we be in love with each other!

…

Under the city wall, dozens of bed crossbows are being prepared. The advantage of using bed crossbows is that it is difficult for the defenders to clear out the crossbow arrows shot into the city wall. This is much more disgusting than ladders and cannot be pushed down at all.

In Gong County City.

Liu Jun's previous message quickly spread throughout the army, and then spread wider and wider, with more and more people knowing about it.

In the city!

"Have you heard? Sima Xin and 100,000 people were completely wiped out in the south."

"Of course I have heard that Dong Yi and his 70,000 to 80,000 people disappeared in Hebei. I heard that they were defeated by the prince's 5,000 men."

"You are wrong. There are obviously more than two thousand people."

Military camp under the city wall!

"The news has spread outside that Dong Yi's army is gone, and a hundred thousand troops will soon be surrounded from the north."

"It's not just the north, Luoyang is almost lost..."

The anxious defenders on the city wall!

"Luoyang was lost. I heard that the people in the city gathered in rebellion and took down a city gate to let the enemy troops in. The defenders in the city saw that there was nothing they could do, so they surrendered."

"It's not just Luoyang. I heard they had hundreds of thousands of people responding in Hebei, so I called right away."

"It's not just Hebei. There are also many people from Luoyang who responded, hundreds of thousands of them. I heard that they all passed the Goushi family and came here in three or two days."

"Then, wouldn't it mean that in a few days, there will be more than 200,000 people besieging us?"

"More than 200,000, at least 300,000."

"It seems that we only have about 400,000 people left now, right? There are now 300,000 in Gong County and 200,000 in Xingyang and Aocang. They have more people than us?"

"What's the point of having more people? What's important is the lack of food. The food and grass for the army are all in Gong County. I can only carry what I need for three days. The army has no food and grass. If we continue to resist, I heard that they will massacre the city..."

There are people in the city thinking about how to defend and how to call for help.

Some people are wondering whether they should surrender or not.

However, the soldiers at the grassroots level were frightened by the rumors that came from unknown sources and were unable to hold their weapons steady.

If you draw a line in detail, the answer will be very clear.

The rumor first started with Liu Jun's shouting at the foot of the city, and then spread to the foot of the city, and then to the city. After being processed by the scouts in the city, it was spread back out, and then the rumor was brought back to the city wall step by step.

Real and fake, fake and fake, no one can figure out which one is real and which one is fake.

Anyway, rumors are a thing, the more people tell them, the more false they become true.
