Yang Chendong saw all this in his eyes, which is why he sprinkled gold and silver on the street. Although it is said that raising troops requires food, grass, gold and silver, the more troops, the heavier the burden. In the current situation, he has no plans to recruit soldiers, but that does not prevent him from preparing early, so that when he needs soldiers, he will have a steady stream of reserves to choose from.

Originally, although the mission of the independent regiment was completed beautifully, it was also an opening of the floodgates, and a series of attacks with bows and arrows and muskets, in fact, there was no danger in this battle. But he still has to praise it with great fanfare, in order to buy horse bones for his money.

Now it seems that the effect is there. When he returned to the road to the largest city lord's mansion in Shicheng, he smiled and said to several regiment commanders such as Chasing Feng, Lu Zhuo and Yela around him: "See, many of the people below have moved their minds to join the army, so you can fight the next few battles with confidence, once there is any loss, how many warriors you have killed in battle, I will give you as many recruits, I will ensure the integrity of your establishment, just give it a go." ”

"Yes, Sixth Young Master." Chasing the wind and the others all clenched their fists and said respectfully. The last worries are gone, even if the army is disabled, it can be quickly replenished, so what is there to fear? The next step is to give it a go.

Compared with the excitement of life on the mercenary side, the Tatar Agadorji tribe here is indeed thunderous and angry, and the voice of angry rebuke can be heard clearly from several feet outside the military tent.

"You're so defeated, how can you still have the face to come back? How don't you die in the West River. ”

"Do you know that you are bringing 5,000 cavalry, 5,000 cavalry. It's all dead in less than half an hour, how can you still have the face to come back, to come back? ”

"Come on, drag Grande out and behead him to show his military might."

"Father's anger, anger." Another, slightly younger voice rang out.

"Yes, please calm your anger, horses have stumbled, and victory or defeat on the battlefield is a common thing. Besides, it is a little unlucky to kill the general before the battle, and I ask the lord to give General Grand a chance to make meritorious service as a substitute. Another very calm voice rang out.

Needless to say, it was Agadorji who was angry before, and the next person to speak was his son Hara Ruochu and another tiger general, Su He.

Being persuaded by his son and his subordinate generals, Agadorji knew that people could not be killed, otherwise it would only chill everyone's hearts. The most important thing is that the enemy is currently employing people, and it is unlucky to cut the generals before the battle, not to mention, he can't find a more capable general than Grand.

I thought to myself, although Grand was responsible for negligence in this battle, why not because the enemy was too rampant and took the initiative to set the trap? Even if it's not Grand this time, if it's someone else, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be tricked.

Forcibly gasping for a few breaths, and looking at Gelang, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, Agadorji said angrily: "Okay, this time if Su He and Hara Ruo come out to intercede for you, I will spare your life for the time being." But you have to make meritorious service for the sin, and if there is a mistake, you will not be spared. ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Grand slammed his head on the ground like garlic, and the cold sweat on his head finally disappeared a lot.

Grand was defeated, and all the five thousand cavalry were gone. This is also equivalent to sounding a wake-up call to Agadorji, in the face of such a powerful opponent as a mercenary, all luck and cleverness can be put away. The next step is to fight with dignity and defeat the opponent head-on.

Thinking that with his current strength more than twice that of the other party, even if it is a head-on battle, there is nothing to be afraid of. "Order, the army has a good rest for a day, and go to Xihe early tomorrow morning, I want to see what other tricks the enemy has to stop the advance of my army." Agadorji finally made up his mind and shook his strength again.

It wasn't long before dawn, and when it was dawn, the army marched and came to the West River in just two hours. Compared to last night, the river here has become much more turbulent, and what is more striking is that just across the river, there is a Jingguan composed of about 600 heads, which seems to tell the tragic battle that happened here last night.

Glaring angrily at the head of Jingguan on the other side of the river a hundred meters away, Agadorji clasped his hands and scolded loudly, "Mercenaries, when we defeat you, we will definitely build a bigger Jingguan and let everyone know what will happen if we anger us." Come and try to cross the river. ”

At the sound of the order, some soldiers with good water began to try to cross the river, but in the face of the rushing river, after several attempts and successive failures, it was announced that the idea of wanting to hit the West River would not work, at least not for a few days.

"My lord, the floodgates of the upper river have opened, and it is obviously impossible to pass through here, so it is better to find another way." Seeing that the army stopped here, facing the Jingguan who still exuded a bloody atmosphere, the longer he stayed, the lower the morale of the army became, and Su He, who had no choice but to stand up.

"Is there any good way for General Su?" Agadorji asked with a calm face.

"My lord, if you want to get close to the First City now, there are only three ways. First, the north side of the detour enters from the direction of the north slope; second, build a raft and forcibly cross the West River; Third, take a detour to the south and rush from Nanlin to the south gate of the first city. ”

Su He, who said the three methods in one breath, caused Agadorji to nod uncontrollably, this is what a tiger general should do, and he will not be like his son Hara Ruochu and General Gelang, who will only look at the river and sigh.

Seeing that Agadorji nodded in approval of his suggestion, Su He continued: "It is not advisable to cross the river on a raft, who knows what kind of reaction the mercenaries will have when we build a raft on our side, if they hit it with bows and arrows halfway, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses." As for the northern slope of the north, the terrain there is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not suitable for cavalry attack, but only the southern forest in the south, although the dense forest is on the side, it is very suitable for ambushes by large armies, but as long as there is a guard, and the area is in a vast position, it can also be a battle. Of course, it is up to the adults to decide how to decide. ”

After analyzing everything, Su He was very able to keep his duty, and finally handed over the choice.

Such capable and measured subordinates can naturally win the love of their subordinates. At this moment, Agadorji's face became much better because of hearing these words, "What General Su said is very true. Then according to your words, we should go to Nanlin? ”

"This... If the subordinates think of it, they must be able to think of it. So it's up to the adults to make the final decision. Su He said with his fists clenched.

"Huh?" This sentence is a reminder of Agadorji. Yes, all this analysis seems to be correct, but why would the mercenaries not know? It is conceivable that the other party will definitely ambush a large number of cavalry in Nanlin for the purpose of attacking himself. If so, what should be done about it?

Suddenly, there was no movement, and there was silence in the surrounding area. Grand, who was in the middle of it, first blinked his eyes constantly, and then seemed to think of something, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, my subordinates have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Speak." When Agadorji was at a loss for what to do, the general below had a suggestion, and of course he had to listen to it.

It was the time for Ge Lang to make meritorious service as a substitute, and he had the opportunity to re-make meritorious service, of course, he would not hide anything, and after getting permission, he said: "My lord, my subordinates think so. After all, the number of mercenaries in the city is limited, and although they have a geographical advantage, if we can divide our forces and attack them in several ways, we will definitely attract them to divide their forces with them, so that they will be much less effective in attacking us. As I said, once the troops are divided, not only will their threat to us be minimized, but even if we lose one way, at least two other roads will be safe, and there is also a possibility that the first city will be captured. ”

"Oh? Well. There is a lot of truth in that. As if he had suddenly woken up, Agadolakje felt a light in his eyes at this moment. Yes, his advantage is that there are many soldiers, which is where the opponent's shortcomings lie, if he is willing to divide the troops, it is equivalent to forcing the other party to divide the troops, in this way, the advantage is not in his own hands?

Thinking like this, Agadorji seemed to see hope, and first laughed, and then said: "Yes, isn't the enemy small in force? Even so, we immediately divided our troops, forcing the other side to divide our forces as well, so that the advantage was in my hands. Well, that's it. Where is my son? Give you 5,000 cavalry to build a raft and find a chance to cross the river, remember, if you have the chance, you can pass it, and if you don't have the chance, you can drag the other side here. ”

"General Grand, give you 10,000 cavalry to go to the north slope, if you have the opportunity to break through, there is no chance to find a way to contain the opponent, once you find that the opponent's troops defending the slope have retreated, it is the time when I can get it, at that time you can send troops strongly, capture the north slope, and go straight to the north gate of the city."

"General Su Ge, you and I will lead 25,000 troops to ride away from Nanlin, with the advantage of our troops, even if they meet the right one, they are not as many as us, and when the time comes, it will depend on the general's demeanor on the battlefield."

"Yes, sir." For a while, the three generals whose names were called nodded in agreement. And the three of them did not raise any doubts about this division of labor.

Hara Ruo is the least capable of going out, and he is the son of Agadorji, and it is the safest route to find the way to cross the river, and it is the most appropriate to stay here.

Grand's ability is secondary, guarding the north slope, which can be attacked and defended, and the possibility of accidents will be much less, and the arrangement can also be called appropriate.

As for Su He, who is the most capable, he was arranged to go with Agadorji, and he led the most troops, so it was the most appropriate arrangement to become the main army and threaten Shicheng.
