In Longyou County, Jiang Shangyan returned to the city gate building a little tired. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info rested his blood-stained knives on the table, and without even removing his armor, he threw himself onto a simple bed in the corner, and in a moment, he was already snoring.

He is now a veritable lone soldier guarding the lonely city. The Qin army's 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 elite foot soldiers bypassed Longyou City to attack the main force led by the emperor behind them, and their purpose was to kill the emperor. If it succeeds, Longyou County will become a lonely boat in the sea, and it will not be possible to support it for too long.

For this war, he really didn't have any bottom in his heart. If the main force of the Ming army was all out, he believed that he would never lose to the Qin people, but now, the already limited combat power of the Ming State was invested in three battlefields, except for Zhengyang County, the other two directions were at an absolute disadvantage.

No matter how brave the emperor is, he only has two cavalry battalions and a miner battalion under his command, but he is facing the main force of the Qin State that is pouring out, oh, by the way, you have to add a grandmaster Deng Pu, such a force is obviously much stronger than the Ming army.

The main force of the Qin army is gone, but there are still tens of thousands of troops left in Longyou County, of course, the most 20,000 of them are really strong, and the others are more appropriate to call them auxiliary armies. But this is enough for him to drink a pot, the courage of the Qin army is really not covered, and the kind of lifeless momentum that fights makes Jiang Shangyan, who has been fighting with the Qi people for many years, also have palpitations.

It is said that the Qi people are the strongest army in the world, but if you really want to talk about bravery, you have to count the Qin people.

During this period of battle, every time the opponent attacked the city, he would kill the city without exception, if it wasn't for a grandmaster He Rentu, Jiang Shangyan really didn't dare to say that he could really defend the city. Even if the main force of the Qin people left, the rest did not sit back and wait for the good news from the front, although their attack weakened slightly, they were still continuously exerting pressure on Longyou County.

Fortunately, although the Baoqing battalion is a bit different in the battle sequence of the Ming army, it is still clear that it is not right, but Qin Feng seems to be very angry, whether it is military salary or equipment, he does not treat them as outsiders at all. The salary of the Ming army is really the first in the army in this world, it is much stronger than when he was in the Chu State, and now the remaining half of the Chu army under his command is quite happy, and he also takes money to sell his life, but the money he takes here is much more than in the Chu army sequence. A soldier with a little seniority will never have a problem supporting his family, let alone an officer, with the money he earns.

And the weapons and equipment shocked Jiang Shangyan even more. His Baoqing battalion had just changed its protective armor shortly before the war, and the kind of Mingguang Kai that only officers could wear before, was now equipped in the hands of every soldier. Ming Guang Kai is time-consuming and labor-intensive, in the Chu State, it is all manual, hammer by hammer, it is impossible to produce a large number of people, it is obvious, Ming Guo has found a new way to make this kind of Ming Guang Kai, otherwise it is impossible to produce so much in large quantities.

The new crossbow arrows and stone cannons, under the condition of ensuring that the lethality is not reduced, have removed the original bulky, not easy to move, and fixed firing angles, which makes these weapons originally used to defend the city can be used in field battles. Although Jiang Shangyan had not yet used these things in field battles, as an experienced general, he could certainly see the changes in the way he fought brought about by these changes.

As a standard ring-head knife for every soldier, the sharpness is staggering. It can easily cut off the spears and guns of the Qin people, and cut off most of the weapons of the Qin people.

Weapons and armor are the second life of soldiers, and the strength of these things is exchanged for higher combat effectiveness and morale of soldiers, and soldiers have firmly seen the efforts made by the imperial court to protect their lives.

Jiang Shangyan had quietly calculated the comprehensive cost of his battalion, weapons and armor, provisions, military salaries, usual living expenses, training expenses and other expenses, and came to the conclusion that he was shocked that the cost of a battalion of 5,000 people, even if it was placed in the Chu State, which was famous for its wealth, was enough to feed a Chu army of 20,000 people.

If calculated according to this number, the Ming army, which is now close to 100,000 people, actually spends the scale of four or five hundred thousand Chu troops.

Qin Feng's strategy, Jiang Shangyan can't say whether it is right or wrong, but for soldiers, of course, it is excellent, and for people's livelihood, the large amount of labor saved can create a lot of wealth.

Qin Feng is a good emperor, this, He Rentu is indeed not wrong, even if it is a little difficult to accept emotionally, but he still has to admit that in many ways, Qin Feng is better than Min Ruoying, the emperor of Chu State.

But he is still the general of Chu State!

Jiang Shangyan, who usually thinks about his embarrassing identity, can't think of much at the moment. As soon as his body touched the bed, he slept like a dead pig. They were too tired, and the Qin people obviously wanted to exhaust them with wheel warfare, and not only did the elite soldiers take turns to fight, but even those auxiliaries began to attack. It is said that it is an auxiliary soldier, that is, the equipment is poor, and the training is poor, but when it comes to fighting, the strength of not wanting to die is in the same vein.

It seems that Jiang Shangyan was awakened as soon as he fell asleep.

The door was vigorously blasted open, and his deputy Hou Liang rushed in with a huge wind, and Jiang Shangyan, who jumped up, just held the handle of the double knife in his hand, and threw himself back on the bed, closed his eyes and shouted angrily: "Hou Liang, what the hell are you panicking, the Qin people are hitting the city, why didn't I hear the sound?" ”

"Generals, cavalry, cavalry!" Hou Liang's face turned red, and he even trembled a little when he spoke.

As soon as he heard this, Jiang Shangyan got up in a hurry: "You said that the cavalry of the Qin people is back?" He snapped.

"Yes, yes!" Hou Liang nodded again and again.

Jiang Shangyan's face fell suddenly, "It's over, it's over, Emperor Lao Tzu is finished, he was cleaned up by Deng Pu, and Lao Tzu is really alone now." ”

Hou Liang shook his head desperately: "No, no, no." ”

"What isn't?" Jiang Shangyan roared, carrying a knife and walking out, "The Qin people will definitely come to kill us again soon, go, go to the city." ”

Hou Liang chased after Jiang Shangyan, who was walking out, and said as he walked: "General, it's not like this, the cavalry is back, but only less than two thousand horsemen have come back, it seems that they are panicked, and the banner is weak, it looks like they have fought a big defeat." ”

Jiang Shangyan stopped suddenly, and with a bang, Hou Liang, who only cared about talking, hit his head on Jiang Shangyan's broad and sturdy back, staggered, and took several steps back.

"What did you say?"

"It seems that the cavalry of the Qin people fled back after a great defeat. There were less than two thousand horsemen, and they were very embarrassed. Hou Liang said excitedly.

Jiang Shangyan tilted his head to look at Hou Liang, his face also changed sharply, and after a while, he pointed at Hou Liang with a bloody knife: "You monkey cub, can't you finish talking in one go?" Say half swallow half, are you going to kill me in a hurry, win the battle, and escape back? So Emperor Lao Tzu won, hahaha, hurry, go and see! ”

Looking at Jiang Shang's swallow wind rushing out, Hou Liang made a grimace, what do you mean to say that you swallow half and half at all, you didn't give me a chance to finish speaking, right?

Of course, the boss is always right, and Hou Liang will not fight for the short and long.

Jiang Shangyan rushed to the head of the city in three steps and two steps, and He Rentu was already standing there, looking at the Qin army camp in the distance with his hands behind his back.

The Qin army camp was now brightly lit and full of people, not like they were going to start another battle, but they seemed to be panicked to the extreme. Everywhere there was a running crowd, drums, trumpets, all in one.

"The Emperor has won!" He Rentu put his hands behind his back, did not look at Jiang Shangyan, and his tone sounded very flat, "Deng Pu can't come back, looking at this, it is a question whether Deng Su can come back or not." ”

"Actually, you actually won?" Jiang Shangyan's tone still carried disbelief.

"I never worried that the emperor would not win." He Rentu turned his head to look at Jiang Shangyan and said with a smile.

Jiang Shangyan smiled, and said in his heart This is an afterthought, you didn't say that when you first came.

"General Jiang, now there is a great merit in front of you, do you dare to lead the army out of the city, and now the Qin army is in a mess, strike while the iron is hot, go and beat their buttocks, stab their chrysanthemums, do you dare?" He Rentu looked at Jiang Shangyan with a smile.

Jiang Shangyan was stunned for a moment, and shook his head again and again: "Old He, don't be kidding, even if the Qin people are beaten by the emperor with a full face, the enemies under this city alone, there are still 10,000 or 20,000 elites, and there are 20,000 or 30,000 others, that is not easy to mess with, in my city, there are more than 3,000 soldiers who can fight at most, but less than 4,000, I don't want to force them to jump off the wall in a hurry." Besides, Lu Yao, who is now commanding the Qin army, is not a vegetarian. I don't want to give up my life for the sake of merit, my own life is just that, and the lives of thousands of soldiers can't be joked about. ”

He Rentu spread his hands, "Then you can only stand here and watch the scenery." ”

"It's nothing, it's good to look at the scenery, and when the exact news comes from Ming'er, I'll take the soldiers to chase their butts, and if you have the chance, you can stab it, and if you don't have a chance, you will embellish it. It seems that this time, the emperor will not give up, at least take Kaiping County back. "Egami Yan said." By the way, Master He, did you say that Deng Pu really had to die? ”

"If Deng Pu didn't die, what did these cavalrymen panic about? What is Qin Jun panicking about? He Rentu laughed: "Now this Lu must be afraid that he has to worry about his own life, Deng Pu is dead, the Deng family is defeated, and it is not only our Daming who wants his life, even in their country, there are many people who are waiting to clean up the Deng family!" ”

After listening to these words, Jiang Shangyan stood and picked up his teeth.
