The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 902 Discussing the Military
A group of people came to the handsome tent.

This time Liu Hongyi personally invited Wang Ziqian to sit down.

Naturally, everyone's attitude towards him was no longer as suspicious and aggressive as before.

"Ha ha!"

After Liu Hongyi sat down at the main seat, he laughed again, and said, "Zigan abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, and our army beheaded so many masters who broke the military academy. Our army's victory can be expected!"

Everyone in the tent smiled and nodded.

Zhang Hongwei looked at Wang Zigan, and praised him without hesitation, saying: "Brother Zigan has a heart for the common people, which is really righteous."

Wang Ziqian just cupped his hands and smiled lightly, saying: "Zigan just dare not forget the help from the folks to me in his heart, and he really deserves such a compliment from the general."

Zhang Hongwei finally introduced himself this time, "Zigan don't call me like that anymore, my name is Zhang Hongwei, and I am currently the commander of the Tianji Army. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Zhang from now on."

His age should be only slightly older than Prince Gan.

And the friendship between men is so wonderful.As long as you look at each other, calling brothers and sisters is a natural thing.

"It turned out to be Army Commander Zhang Hongwei, who has known his name for a long time."

The prince laughed dryly and said, "I heard that there was a general of arrows in the Song Dynasty in the middle of Sichuan, and there were no mistakes. I didn't expect to see it today but I don't know it. It's really... a sin."

When everyone in the tent heard what he said, they just laughed again.

Zhang Hongwei said modestly: "Now there are countless sharpshooters in our Great Song Army, my archery skills are almost useless!"

After a long chat and joke, everyone talked about business.

Wang Ziqian also had a preliminary understanding of the generals in this tent, Hong Wutian, Yue Yue and others.

As soon as he got down to business, Liu Hongyi looked at Wang Zigan and asked, "Nephew Zigan, may I ask how many Dali soldiers are still in Hengshan Village at this time?"

Wang Ziqian did not hesitate, and replied directly: "Chi Fenggu and I each led nearly [-] soldiers. If those coachmen and handymen are not counted, there should be [-] to [-] soldiers."

As for the rest, they were lost in the previous attack on the camp.Not to mention more, maybe [-] to [-] yuan is probably some.

Of course, for this number, as long as the Song army cleared up the battlefield, Liu Hongyi and others can get an approximate number.

Liu Hongyi's question was just an introduction, and that's not what he really wanted to ask.

After hearing Wang Zigan's reply, he immediately asked again: "There are still [-] to [-] troops. Nephew Zigan thinks, will Chi Fenggu continue to come out of the city to attack us?"

Wang Ziqian pondered for a while before replying, "Probably not."

His eyes swept over the people in the tent, and he sat upright and said: "I and the army under Chi Fenggu's command are all gathered from various prefectures, counties, towns, and ministries in Dali. The composition is quite mixed. And these people form groups. Although I used to be Commander, but in fact, those guys below don’t just listen to me, they just have their own ulterior motives, they can take advantage of each other, but in tough battles, they push each other. Thinking about it, the situation in Chi Fenggu’s army is similar to mine, otherwise he wouldn’t have just taken advantage of it last night Leading [-] forbidden troops to attack the camp must be because those tribal soldiers are afraid of being beaten and are unwilling to fight such a tough battle again."

Speaking of this, the prince chuckled suddenly, "Although I am going to the Song Dynasty now, it may not be easy for Chi Fenggu to order the soldiers under my command. It is enough for him to gather these people to make him worry In a short period of time, he will definitely not have the energy to go out of the city and attack the camp. Even if he wants to attack, he must initially establish prestige in the hearts of those people."

Hearing this, Liu Hongyi and the others quietly relaxed a lot.

If Chi Fenggu came out to attack the camp regardless of the cost, even though the camp was fully equipped with firearms, it would probably be a bitter battle.

Liu Hongyi asked again: "Then if we wait for our tens of thousands of reinforcements to arrive and destroy the Hengshan stronghold, nephew Zigan, what do you think the chances of winning are?"

The prince said dryly: "The chance of winning is [-]%, but... if you want to destroy the city, you will suffer heavy losses."

"Why?"

Liu Hongyi asked.

The estimate given by Wang Ziqian obviously made him dissatisfied.

Everyone in the tent also looked at the prince.

After all, he is the one who really knows the strength of the Dali soldiers in Hengshan Village best.

Wang Ziqian said: "Although the Dali army failed to attack the camp three times under the leadership of Chi Fenggu and me, it was defeated by the strong firearms in the camp and by the generals who led the people to fight to the death. If it were an ordinary army, it would have been defeated long ago. We defeated. In all honesty, those tribal soldiers don't say it first. In fact, the Dali Forbidden Army is not weak. Although there are not many hot air balloons in Hengshan Village, there are still countless artillery vehicles. If our army wants to break the city , really have to pay a lot of damage. After all... that is an army of tens of thousands..."

Liu Hongyi and the others were all silent.

And Wang Zigan suddenly said: "It's not easy to destroy them, but...it's not difficult to drive them out of the Song Dynasty."

A smile spread across his face.

Liu Hongyi was slightly moved, "The besieged city must be lacking? Use grenades to frighten them?"

This is indeed a good idea.

As long as those Dali troops are frightened, and when they see little hope, they will cut off the transportation of grain and grass to the west of Hengshan Village.The Dali army in the city must break through and return home.

Prince Gan shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "No way. It doesn't take a single shot to make them retreat."

"Oh?"

Liu Hongyi was even more moved.

There was also a flash of light in the eyes of everyone in the tent.

Zhu Haiwang took a light breath, as if thinking of something, he suddenly said: "Brother Zigan's intention, could it be... to attack the heart?"

Wang Ziqian looked at Zhu Haiwang in surprise, he probably didn't expect Zhu Haiwang to have such an opinion.

Immediately he nodded and said: "Chi Fenggu and I have studied in Guigu Academy for more than ten years. From what I know of him, he is quite stable. As long as there is room, he only thinks about stability in everything. If The generals led the army to follow me to the outside of Hengshan Village, and then threw the news that I had voted for the Song Dynasty into the city. The army's morale, which was already in chaos due to losing streak, must be even more chaotic. Under such circumstances, Chi Fenggu wanted to appease the generals It is also embarrassing. With his temperament, nine out of ten he will choose to lead the army back to Dali."

Zhang Hongwei frowned slightly when he heard the words, "If that's the case, after he leads the army back, he still won't be punished by that Qilin military law?"

"will not."

Wang Ziqian shook his head and said with a smile: "That's why I went to the front of the city. I voted for Song, so wouldn't Chi Fenggu blame me for this battle?"

Zhang Hongwei said: "I heard that Duan Qilin is also a great talent, can't he see it?"

The prince said dryly: "It can be seen that Chi Fenggu will not really do anything. If he is not dealt with, Chi Fenggu will be grateful. If he is dealt with, it may chill the hearts of my brothers and sisters. Looking at Song, In the battle of Li, Dali suffered successive defeats, even Qin Han was repelled when he led the army to attack Leizhou, if he was defeated, he would be punished easily, who in Guigu Academy will dare to lead the army easily in the future?"

He shook his head slightly, and said with some emotion: "In terms of the talent of a military strategist, there is indeed no one in Guigu Academy who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Qin Han..."

"You can't either?"

Liu Hongyi asked with a chuckle.

In fact, what Wang Ziqian said just now surprised him quite a bit.

These Guigu Xuegong disciples are indeed all good.

With the prince's temper, he nodded at this time, "No. I have debated with him several times in the academy, but I have never won."

Liu Hongyi and the others were a little emotional.

Zhu Haiwang said: "I've heard the emperor say that Qin Han has no plans to spare, but it's a pity that he can't work for my Song Dynasty. His heart is too vicious."

The prince said dryly: "Compassion does not command soldiers. People who come out of Guigu Academy, although not all of them are as ruthless as Qin Han, but they are almost the same."

Then he brought the topic back to the main topic, looked at Liu Hongyi and said, "Is the pacifier planning to drive back the Dali army, or... want to wipe them all out?"

"Sixty percent..."

Liu Hongyi pondered slightly, looked at Zhang Hongwei, and said, "Why don't we ask the emperor for instructions first?"

Zhang Hongwei nodded slightly.

No one can say for sure how much the price will be paid if they attack Hengshan Village.And the enemy that Da Song faced was not only this Dali army.

In the north, there was the Yuan Dynasty coveting. Of course, Liu Hongyi and the others dared not make up their minds like this.

Not long after, Liu Hongyi wrote the pen himself, and there were pigeons flying in the barracks, heading towards Changsha City.

Inside Hengshan Village.

Chi Fenggu had already assembled his troops, but he was just waiting, but he never heard any news from the Song Army's barracks.

This made him gradually feel an unknown feeling.
