Volume 1, Section 89, General

When Huang Anjin walked up the city wall with heavy steps, she saw that the sunset was still standing beside the mercedes, staring at Jiang Feng in the distance under the afterglow of the sunset.

This battle was so fierce that it was beyond everyone's expectations, both the Gushi Army and the Old Guangzhou Army.

Many people still have a vague consciousness about ant thieves. After all, although the rise of ant thieves in Ying, Bo and across HN also has an impact on Huainan Road, it is not the most direct one after all.

Including Qin Zaidao, Huang Anjin and other old Guangzhou Yamen officers were not familiar with ant thieves, and more of the situation came from the scouts' reports.

In their very vague understanding, most of the ants thieves were thieves gathered by refugees, and they attacked the prefectures and occupied counties in order to make a living.

Most of their weapons are hoes, pickaxes, sickles, wooden sticks, bamboo poles, and armor, not to mention armor. Most people don’t even have a pair of decent shoes, and it is common for them to go into battle barefoot.

These mobs may be able to fight a battle with the wind, but once they encounter a raid or face a tough battle like siege, they will be revealed.

It seems that the raid on Heshentan that night also confirmed this view, but today, the courage and tenacity shown by the ant thief in the siege made Jiang Feng, Qin Zaidao, Gu Minghai, Zhang Yue and Huang Anjin have a new understanding.

Especially this army is not the headquarters of the ant thief, but the ant thief formed by the refugees of Yiluo. To be precise, they are just the vassals of the ant thief.

Perhaps these guys still have no idea how strong the combat power is, but the pressure of making a living has forced them to have no lack of courage. The repeated battles with Liang and Caizhou troops on the HN road have also made them transform at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming stronger and stronger, more capable and more tenacious.

Looking at the weapons and armor on these guys, some of them are obviously the standard weapons and armor of the Liang army, and a small number of them are from the Caizhou army. They are constantly transforming and evolving, and are rapidly changing to a real army. When Huang Anjin thinks of this, he feels heavy.

No matter what the outcome of this Gushi offensive and defensive battle, Huang Anjin believes that for the ant thieves, they will get another rare temper. Even if they are defeated, they will become more fierce and cruel in the next war.

Jiang Feng was awakened by the heavy footsteps behind him.

"An Jin, come and sit down." Jiang Feng waved his hand, looked at the tired Huang Anjin, and signaled to the other party to be casual, "Can you hold on?"

"It's okay." Huang Anjin's feelings about Jiang Feng are quite complicated.

He was very moved that the other party could get a break, but he also knew that the other party had an intention to make friends with him like this.

He also understood the intention of the other party to arrange for him to initially assist Qin Zaidao in reorganizing the teeth camp.

But he had to admit that this overly young Gushi Army's fake position, Yu Hou, thought more profoundly and comprehensively on many issues than everyone else. Neither Qin Zaidao nor Gu Minghai were far from comparable to the other party.

The nearby battlefield has been almost cleaned. Although the ant thief army has not been able to climb the city wall, it does not mean that they are unable to pose a threat to the city wall. The ripples and rocks all leave traces here, and the blood stains everywhere prove that they have also experienced the test of life and death.

"This is the first day. An Jin, tomorrow will probably be more difficult and dangerous." Jiang Feng still put one hand on the hilt of the knife, and a wry smile was on the corner of his mouth. "I underestimated the growth rate of these Yiluo refugees. How long have I left? They were not like this before. Liang Jun and Caizhou Jun both acted as their sparring training."

"Master Yu Hou, I'm afraid we will act as their coach again this time." Huang Anjin's face was also bitter. "As far as I know, ant thieves rarely attack the county towns actively because they lack experience in this area, especially in making siege equipment. They didn't know at all, but this time Gushi became their training ground. Next time, no matter where they go, it will bring huge risks to the city guards there. No, my subordinates probably won't wait for the next time. Tomorrow, these ant thieves will be much more difficult."

After Jiang Feng was slightly stunned, he understood what Huang Anjin meant. Even if the ant thief could not defeat Gushi this time, if the ant thief made a comeback in the future, or even if the ant thief attacked the city again tomorrow, it would probably be much more difficult, but now he doesn't think about it.

However, out of caution, Jiang Feng asked: "An Jin, do you think the ant thief's offensive will be more fierce tomorrow?"

"Sir, you may not notice that in fact, the performance of ant thieves in the two hours of Shen and You is much better than that of the first time, especially the few rounds that came up at You, should be the first wave of ant thieves attacked in the morning. After they got rest, their morale was not deteriorated, but they became more cunning. I found that their formation was more scattered and regular, and they were very good at using the terrain. The damage of our whirlwind cannons and powerful crossbows decreased significantly, and their propulsion speed was also faster."

Huang Anjin observed it very carefully, which was due to habit. He had never encountered ant thief. As the deputy commander of the Tooth Army, the first battle was very eye-catching. Of course, he needed to observe and understand carefully, evaluate the enemy's strength, and consider every step of the war.

"Oh? You mean we will be more dangerous in a battle tomorrow?" Jiang Feng indeed frowned.

He was obviously not as good as Qin Zaidao in these details. Huang Anjin and other practical officers did so well. In fact, when the war came, he was too focused and did not pay much attention to these details. Huang Anjin's words also reminded him what he needed to pay attention to as a commander on the spot.

"It is said that wars are repeated, repeated, and exhausted. There is a certain reason, but they are not completely accurate and need to be determined according to the actual situation. For example, the ant thief, because they are fighting against the city, they have sufficient military strength guarantees. The first day is mainly based on tentative battles, and the second day is probably the real test, and it can even be said to be a day of life and death. The ant thief leader will definitely consider how long their own morale and fighting spirit can last. As for the third day and beyond, I think if we can survive the second day, their morale will definitely be greatly hit, but whether it can still rise again depends on their general's ability."

Huang Anjin's views are quite consistent with Jiang Feng's intentions, but the ant thief mentioned by Huang Anjin may have greatly improved its attack power and attack efficiency through familiarizing themselves with the battle situation on the first day. If the ant thief leader also realized this, he would probably regard the second day as the day of the real decisive battle.
