Chapter 776: Long-term Planning
Kaiping County did not hold it in the end. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Although Lu must have wanted to hold Kaiping County very much. Deng Hong was named the king of Kaiping, if there was no Kaiping County, wouldn't this title become a joke. As far as the normal situation is concerned, he still has an army of 50,000 on hand now, although the real elite can take away no more than 20,000 people who can be taken away by the United States and Lu, but it is more than enough to defend the city. The siege battle, five times and besieged, ten times and attacked, this is common sense, but the Ming army, but only an army of more than 20,000 people, does not have the strength to siege the city, which is also the reason why Lu must have retreated to Kaiping County and then defended and did not retreat.
But Lu must have underestimated the impact of the death of Deng Pu and Deng Su on the army. When the Ming army brazenly began to attack the city, when two grandmasters appeared in their army, and when the Qin army had no fighting spirit and was almost on the verge of collapse, Lu must have almost gone crazy.
The army has never been afraid of a single grandmaster, because the army can have countless lives and strict discipline to confront it or even kill the other party, but the grandmaster with the cooperation of the army is an insoluble existence. Unless you have someone to compete with.
But Deng Pu is already dead, and now in this Qin army, there is not even a ninth-level peak.
Lu must have no choice but to run again, but fortunately, at this time, he had gathered the fleeing from Hengdian, and finally gathered enough 3,000 cavalry to break the retreating army, otherwise the cavalry of the Ming army would catch up, and the casualties would be even worse.
Qin Feng was dressed in black armor, even his face was covered by armor, and he stood on the top of the roof ridge of the gate building of Zhongping County with a big knife, behind him, the horse monkey held the Ming Sun and Moon Banner high, this is the highest point of Zhongping County, standing here, whether it is the retreating Qin soldiers or the Ming army who are moving forward bravely, you can clearly see his existence.
For the Qin people, this was an extremely frustrating thing.
But for the Ming army, it can boost their morale to the highest point. It was their Emperor, it was a martial arts master, and now His Majesty the Emperor was standing there, watching their battle.
The battle broke out in the dawn of the day, and it was basically over after noon, and the Qin army left behind their families in the city, burdened, and abandoned everything that might affect their speed, and fled desperately in the direction of the Qin realm.
Now that the city has begun to sweep the city, the Ming army has cleared some places street by street and alley to clear some places that are still carrying out the last stubborn enemy. Zhongping County officially announced that it had changed hands.
With a breeze around him, He Rentu appeared beside Qin Feng with his paddle knife, looking at Qin Feng's appearance, he couldn't help laughing happily.
Qin Feng, who had always maintained the same posture, turned his head, lifted his mask, and stared at He Rentu angrily, "Master He, what's so ridiculous?" ”
"I'm laughing, Your Majesty has always maintained this posture, I must feel very embarrassed in my heart, I am fighting in the city, every time I look up, I can see Your Majesty standing here like a statue." He Ren Tu said.
"Chen Zhihua came up with a crooked idea." Qin Feng snorted, "I'm playing a morale-boosting role here, this guy said that as long as I stand here and let the soldiers look up, they can see, and they will definitely be able to make the soldiers move forward bravely, kill gods when they meet gods, and kill Buddhas when they meet Buddhas." ”
He Rentu nodded: "He is not wrong, when I was in the city just now, I saw His Majesty like this, and I also had a feeling of worship from the bottom of my heart." Not to mention ordinary soldiers, didn't Your Majesty hear the wild cries of this city-filled Long live? The soldier's fanaticism is far greater than you might think. Moreover, this effect is twofold, the morale of our soldiers has risen greatly because of His Majesty, while the Qin people have been extremely depressed, and once they enter and one leave, the gap is huge. ”
Qin Fengha laughed: "I hope it's just this once, I don't want to be here in the future as a background for battles, and become a totem for everyone to fight, I would rather fight with a knife." ”
He Rentu looked at Qin Feng meaningfully: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that in the future, I am afraid that you will only be able to become the background of the battle." Perhaps, in the future, until the decisive moment, you will not even have the opportunity to set foot on the battlefield. War, after all, is only one part of governing the country, and it is not the most important part. ”
"A rich country, a strong army. Rich countries are at the top of the list. Qin Feng nodded, "Why is the Qi State strong?" Not because his army is invincible in the world, but because his wealth is invincible in the world, compared to the combat bravery of the soldiers of the Qin State, the army of the Qi State is really nothing, but the Qi State is the strongest empire in the world. I have thought about this a long time ago, war is just a continuation of politics. It is just a means to govern the country and level the world. ”
"Your Majesty has truly changed from the perspective of a general to the perspective of an emperor who aspires to the world." He Rentu said with emotion: "The general only needs to focus on a certain war, but the emperor must be from a high position and take charge of the overall situation, and the pattern is very different." ”
"I'm still adapting!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, are you still going forward? Lu must retreat, but he will retreat to Fang County, and after that, he will directly return to the Qin realm. He Rentu's oars knife pointed ahead, and the last cavalry of the Qin army to cover the retreat also disappeared from his field of vision.
"Of course I still have to fight, but I still have to give Qin Ren a little time to react!" Qin Feng jumped off the roof, and He Rentu and the horse monkey also jumped down.
"The Qin people must think that I am also at the end of the crossbow now, and because of the relationship between the Qi State, I definitely don't want to fight. Therefore, they will definitely come to negotiate with me, and the war between the Qi people and us in Shayang will become their bargaining chips. They don't want to end this war because they don't want to pay too much, how can I let them get what they want? ”
"But we really can't move it." He Rentu nodded: "They are not wrong, we are indeed the end of the crossbow." ”
"Each other, now it's up to us to see who can hold on longer." Qin Feng held on to the city wall and looked at the vast wilderness in the distance, "The Qin people must pay for their actions, and I want them to understand this, so recovering Kaiping County is only one of my goals." Because Kaiping County was originally ours, this is just a return to the original owner. ”
"What price does Your Majesty want the Qin people to pay?"
"Qingzhou County!" Qin Feng spit out three words.
"War Horse!" Hearing the three words of Qingzhou County, He Rentu immediately reacted to Qin Feng's picture.
"War Horse!" Qin Feng's eyes lit up, "Master He, to fight the Qi country, I need a large number of cavalry, most of the territory of the Qi country is flat and suitable for cavalry combat, so I must take Qingzhou and gather the war horse resources in my own hands, so that from now on, I can build a cavalry that can sweep the world." My goal is to build up a cavalry of 100,000 men. ”
Hearing this number, He Rentu was taken aback, 100,000 cavalry! Even if it is the current Qi country, I am afraid that I will not be able to make up this number. 100,000 cavalry will become a black hole in the treasury, and countless amounts of money will be swallowed up.
Qin Feng laughed and pointed to the cavalry battalion that was being assembled in Chao, "One hundred thousand cavalry, of course, it won't all be built with a lot of money like Yu Chao, such a cavalry, one twenty or thirty thousand is enough, and it can be used as a sharp soldier." He Shi, the 100,000 cavalry of our institute, or we can call them mounted infantry. ”
"Infantry on horseback?" He Rentu looked at Qin Feng in a daze.
"Yes, infantry on horseback, of course, can also fight on horseback, but the requirements are not so high, Master He, what I want is their strong mobile combat ability. Well, this is a big topic, and I can't say it clearly for a while, but I've been planning for a long time, and as soon as Qingzhou County arrives, it can be put into practice, so I am determined to win Qingzhou County. ”
"Your Majesty already has a preliminary idea, then, what about the Chu State?" He Rentu asked suddenly.
Qin Feng laughed: "Master He, I have invested so much money in Baoqing Port, what are I doing?" Build a warship and build a sailor, but it is more difficult to build a sailor than to build a cavalry. Chu State, it's still far away! ”
He Rentu nodded, and inadvertently, Qin Feng had already pointed out the general steps for him to dominate the world. That is to swallow Qin first, and then join forces with Chu to attack Qi, and finally put the target on Chu State.
Or, there is also a reason for the queen mother. So Qin Feng took Vachu as the last target.
"This big war has given me another general who can command the overall situation, which can be regarded as one of the gains." Qin Feng smiled and looked at the big banner of Chen Zi fluttering in the distance, "Chen Zhihua is really worthy of being Chen Ci's son, this time he commanded two battles, both of which are remarkable, and he has the style of a general." ”
"In the future, there will be Zhang Kitten in the east, Chen Zhihua in the west, the two main generals of the battlefield will be worry-free, and this time Liu Xingwen will also perform very well!" He Rentu said with a smile.
"Liu Xingwen can be defended and cannot be attacked, he is far worse than Chen Jialuo. Chen Jialuo! Qin Feng hesitated.
"This man has ambitions." He Rentu picked up the conversation.
"It's not a bad thing to be ambitious, is it?" In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng laughed again: "Without destroying the overall pattern, I hope that my generals, my pro-people officials, and my ministers will all have ambitions, ambitions, and motivation." I'm not afraid of ambitious officials, I'm afraid of officials who occupy the pit and don't! ”
"That's right!" He Rentu deeply agreed, "Ambition, that is, enterprising, as long as they don't want to be out of line, Your Majesty will not be stingy with rewards, if you dare to go out of line, Your Majesty's sword can be unsheathed." ”
Qin Feng smiled silently.
"This battle has reached the final stage, the next thing is a small fight, I can also be easy and relaxed, Master He, recover Fangshan, I will bother you to follow Chen Zhihua, I have other things to do, Quan Yun Baba has to rush over from Yuejing, and a lot of things in the court will come soon."
"The Qin people will still come to negotiate, and Your Majesty will have to come forward, right?"
"Cool them first, they think they have a bamboo in their chests, but I want them to be poured into the cold. Didn't Shu Chang call me a Qin madman? This time, I asked the Qin people to also learn how unreasonable I am. Qin Feng laughed.
