I really just want to lose my fortune

Qin Qiong beside him looked worried: "Up to five days, I'm afraid we'll be defeated if we don't fight."

"This..." Zhai Rang frowned slightly.

They attacked Xingyang for food and grass.

It is definitely not a simple matter to operate so many soldiers and horses.

The current food and grass were obtained by Jie Huangxiang before, and they are currently in a state of sitting and eating.

Just relying on the merchant ships that plundered the Yellow River can no longer afford such an army.

Nowadays, people in the army basically don't have any armor, and many of their weapons are farm tools.

bow and arrow?

They looted some places and got a lot, but it was not enough to arm 1000 people, and the number of arrows was still limited.

As for things like shields, it would be nice to have a wooden shield.

Cavalry... There are more than 3 cavalry out of 50 people, and they are all poor horses.

All those who can ride horses are all generals, and there are no soldiers at all.

"They don't want to open the city to fight because there are no generals in the city, and it is expected that I will not be able to surround them for a long time. Although people in the city are panicked when we are surrounded like this, as long as the generals are stable enough, when the imperial army arrives, we will be able to fight." You will lose if you wait." Xu Shiji said: "At this time, we can only find a way to force them to fight."

"I have a way to delay the food and grass for two or three days." Li Mi said, "I have no way to attack the city."

"Hmph, why don't you let Lao Cheng call for the battle first, to see if they are up to the challenge, and if they dare to join the battle." Cheng Yaojin patted his stomach: "If they lose, their morale will definitely drop."

"At that time, I'll go all out and attack the city directly. Maybe I'll be able to enter Xingyang City to drink and eat meat tonight."

"Okay, since General Cheng has such courage, it's okay to try." Xu Shiji smiled.

Fighting generals in front of battle, what you see is the bravery of the generals, and the soldiers led by a peerless general will be infected by the courage of the soldiers.

Of course, if you lose, it will be a big drop in morale.

This is not to say that being a general must be brave. Confucian generals also have ways to boost morale.

As soon as he thought of it, Cheng Yaojin rode on a tall horse, holding a gossip Xuanhua axe, and marched towards Xingyang City.

The morale of the Wagang Army was like a rainbow, and each of them seemed to have been injected with chicken blood.

Regardless of their disheveled and sallow complexions, they have conquered countless cities in a few days, and they are especially swollen at this time.

Although Xu Shiji picked cities that were easy to attack and had no defenders, that's what morale is all about.

As long as you keep winning, morale can build up.

When morale reaches its peak, you can gnaw on the hard bone of Xingyang.

Xingyang has already reduced its troops, and there are 4000 troops in the city.

With so many people defending the city, as the siege party, if they want to take Xingyang forcibly, it may be detrimental to the future development, which is equivalent to fighting against Xingyang in that family.

"come out!"

"Fight to the death!"

"What kind of skill is it to be a turtle in there?"

"The guard, your old mother XXXX..."

A large group of soldiers under the city were shouting and cursing, but the city refused to open the city to fight.

Cheng Yaojin came to a place not far from Xingyang City, and shouted: "Listen up, people in the city!"

"Old Cheng is the reincarnation of the Demon King of Confusion. Does anyone dare to go out of the city to fight?"

"Don't be afraid that they will take advantage of the situation to attack the city. Lao Cheng will let them retreat a hundred feet first."

"Stand back, let's see if anyone dares to take the head of Lao Cheng."

Upon hearing this, the Wagang Army smiled and began to retreat. The formation was scattered, but relaxed.

It can be seen that there are people who really know how to train soldiers in Wagang, otherwise some ordinary people would never be able to advance and retreat in an orderly manner.

So far, the soldiers have vacated a relatively wide field for Cheng Yaojin.

"How about it, come down if you have the guts, and practice with old Cheng." Cheng Yaojin rode his horse, paced back and forth, and shouted: "Could it be that there aren't even any men in the city, are they all women?"

"Ha, that's right, all the millions of Qin soldiers have removed their armor, and none of them is a man!"

Chapter 105 Capture King Zhao and Eliminate the Traitor Concubine

Geng Jing, the general of Xingyang, saw that Xia Fang and Yao Jin were fighting there, and he couldn't help gnashing his teeth in anger.

"Damn it, I can't take it anymore." Geng Jing said angrily: "Fight with his mother!"

"Geng Jing, you can't open the city gate now!"

A Confucian scholar said anxiously behind him: "If the city cannot be opened, there will be no fighting. Otherwise, the city of Xingyang will be broken today."

This person's name is Jia Rui, and he is Geng Jing's staff officer, in other words, a military adviser.

"My lord, if we don't fight at this time, I'm afraid we won't have a chance!" Seeing that Geng Jing was still sulking, Lieutenant General Zhang Anguo couldn't help persuading him, "Now everyone's morale is low. They don’t have the power to fight. They are just mud legs, but we have a total of four thousand elites.”

Before Geng Jing could speak, Jia Rui glared at Zhang Anguo: "Fighter, what are we fighting for? Unless we can really kill that black fat man, if they lose, they will take advantage of the situation to attack the city, what can we do to resist?"

"Four thousand elite? You call the soldiers here elite?"

Those soldiers looked at the enemy army in the distance, all of them were trembling with fear.

There is no way, the number of enemy troops is really too many, and the black and dense one gives people a strong sense of oppression.

The defenders in these cities were lax in training, and were transferred from several cities, and it was difficult to even dispatch them normally.

This kind of army that normally defends the city and maintains order, deals with bandits, and encounters a large number of rebels, is timid before fighting, and can't exert much combat effectiveness at all.

Standing on the city wall and the city wall gave them courage. If they went down, they probably lost all courage.

"My lord, the last general invites you to fight!"

A guard from a small town nearby gritted his teeth and said, "If your lord hadn't called the general back, the general would have fought them to the death long ago."

"The current Wagang Army is different from the past." Jia Rui hastily persuaded: "The previous Wagang Army was a group of bandits who robbed houses and houses and did all kinds of crimes, but recently there has been a new look. They only rob the government and not the people when they enter the city... "

"With such an army, if we deal with bandits as usual, we will definitely suffer a lot."

This is the reason why Wagang can now roll his troops.

Since Qin Qiong and others joined Wagang, a series of reforms have been carried out on Wagang.

After the siege, he didn't bother the people Qiu, and directly opened the warehouse to release grain after killing the defenders.

When the time comes, those who are willing to join will join, and those who are not willing to join will never be forced.

In this way, Wagang has won the hearts of the people recently.

The information Wu Meiniang received before was secretly spoiled by Yuan Shu, the information was delayed, and Wagang was regarded as an ordinary bandit.

The previous Wagang was really a bad bandit, who did all kinds of crimes such as robbing houses and houses, and this level can be wiped out at will.

But now it seems that they obviously have a higher pursuit.

From bandits to rebels, it is considered a real peasant uprising.

This kind of discipline similar to the regular army is sometimes even more terrifying than the combat power of the regular army.

"My lord, you can't boost other people's morale!" Zhang Anguo said angrily, "Let them scold you, and if the court blames you..."

"I will take it on myself," Jia Rui said.

"But, shall we just let that black fat man humiliate you there?" The guard said, "I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I will definitely not disappoint my lord."

"Jia Xiucai, let him try!" Geng Jing also joined the camp of persuading the war.

"If you want to fight, then step over Lao Tzu's corpse!" Jia Rui resolutely stopped in front of several people: "Geng Jing, you fucking said that wars will be up to Lao Tzu in the future, do you really want to do it?"

"Damn it, count!" Geng Jing punched the city wall.

"General!" Zhang Anguo still wanted to persuade.

"The prince hasn't arrived yet. When the prince arrives, he will definitely come with a large number of people. That's when I will fight back." Jia Rui had no choice but to move Qin Ge out.

"Didn't the prince only bring a thousand soldiers?" Zhang Anguo was speechless.

"That's a thousand from the imperial court. Don't forget, the prince's uncle is Yang Guozhong, and this time there will definitely be generals from the Yang family following him." Jia Rui said: "As long as there are real thousand elites, we will wait for the thousands of troops and horses." What is there to be afraid of?"

"No matter how bad it is, just delay the time and wait for the imperial court to send troops to support."

…………

Cheng Yaojin yelled and scolded below for nearly two hours, his throat was almost smoked, seeing that they were still unwilling to come out, he couldn't help saying speechlessly: "Okay, okay, you are girls, okay?"

"Really, a bunch of eggless eggs."

"General Cheng!"

At this moment, a messenger ran to Cheng Yaojin's side: "The master asked you to go back and discuss matters."

Soon, Cheng Yaojin returned to the camp, and seeing that everyone was there, he couldn't help frowning: "Master, what's wrong?"

"There is an extra army." Zhai Rang said solemnly, "It's not far from Xingyang."

"It's a good thing. With such an army, wouldn't it be over if we just wiped it out? Could it be that King Zhao came, then as long as I capture King Zhao, how much food can I exchange with the court?" Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed.

"If King Zhao is captured, it will be interesting." Li Miyin smiled: "Then I'll wait... and then I will have the title of righteousness."

"What do you mean?" Shan Xiongxin looked at Li Mi suspiciously.

"King Zhao, that is the orthodox prince." Li Mi explained: "Just think about it, if I catch King Zhao, I will say that King Zhao will help us, and is willing to work with us to clean up the king's side, get rid of the treacherous concubine, and join us. They are no ordinary rogues."

"But isn't the treacherous concubine I'm going to get rid of Yang Guifei?" Wang Bodang was also a little puzzled: "That's Zhao Wang's adoptive mother."

"It's okay to change it to a martial artist. The matter of writing is the same anyway." Li Mi spread his hands.

"Didn't you still say that you don't need to worry about it?" Zhai Rang said.

"At this time, at that time, I didn't have the soldiers and horses of Wang Bu to help me before." Li Mi said slowly: "Before we were more than self-preserving, but not aggressive enough. Now we have become powerful, so King Zhao can't enter the city. In the wild, don't you let me wait and see?"

"What if King Zhao sees that our army is powerful and retreats to Hulao Pass?" Zhai Rang continued.

"Then he won't set up camp here." Li Mi said, "How many troops did King Zhao bring?"

"Although what they did was very secretive, it can't be hidden from my eyes." Cheng Yaojin's good friend You Junda said: "The scouts came to report. They are making a fire and cooking. Looking at the smoke, there should be 1000 people. However, they cooked twice, presumably to make me think that they only have 1000 people, and lead me to attack."

"The soldiers led by King Zhao are all elite soldiers and strong generals." Wang Bodang said solemnly: "Two hundred scouts went out, and only three came back."

"According to the report from the scouts, all those patrolling the camp are cavalry."

"If King Zhao brings two thousand cavalry... then this battle will be difficult."

Chapter 106 The Role of a Counselor

Although the camp had been set up now, Qin Ge didn't feel safe at all.

Thirty thousand bandits are a bit too much.

At present, Jia Xu is in charge of the overall situation, Cai Wenji is helping to calculate food, grass and military equipment, Zhao Yun is out on patrol, and Xin Qiji is in charge of setting up the camp.

On the other hand, Yang Yanqi was heartless and stayed with Qin Ge in the tent.

"Don't worry, it's only [-] people. It looks like a lot of people, but in fact, as long as you destroy some, the rest will naturally flee." Yang Yanqi comforted: "If you give me [-] elite cavalry, I will guarantee that no one will be left behind." !"

"Do you know why peasant uprisings weren't very useful in the past? They seem to have a large number of people, but they are actually far behind the regular army."

"If you want weapons, you don't have weapons; if you want armor, you don't have armor; if you want food, you don't have food."

"After destroying some, we will appease and persuade them to surrender, and the chaos will naturally be settled."

"Throughout the ages, the melee among princes after the peasant uprising has been the highlight. I have never seen a court overthrown by the people."

"If they are so useless, how could they hit Xingyang?" Qin Ge said with a wry smile, "Don't comfort me."

"We hit Xingyang because the imperial court didn't react at the beginning. As long as the imperial court reacted and sent a large army to suppress it, the generals who lead the army are brave and resourceful, and they will definitely win it easily." Yang Yanqi spread her hands.

"The problem is that they were like wildfire at the beginning." Qin Ge said with a worried look on his face: "Besides, we are waiting in the center of this vortex."

"Don't forget my identity. Compared with Xingyang City, it is easier to take me down."

"Moreover, my role is much greater than that of Xingyang..."

"There are me and Zilong." Yang Yanqi gave Qin Ge a white look.
