However, Weifu Army Division and Zhenyan Army Division have not fought for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is really limited due to the lack of soldiers and armor.

The reinforcements Brother Richard brought from the south are relatively more elite.

Of course, there is no need to go into details about the iron kite. Even the soldiers who were drawn out of the army can at least have an ancestral leather armor, and many even wear ancestral iron armor. The tribes there are richer, and their ancestors often plundered the Song Dynasty. Some tribes even

There is armor given by the imperial court.

Brother Richard thought in his mind: The main force of the Ming army killed 30,000 to 40,000 people, many of whom came from various grassland tribes. Those grassland cavalry were nothing. Then the real elite of the Ming army was probably only about 10,000. With 10,000 elite Ming soldiers, I

Can the soldiers under his command be able to defeat him?

In the past, Brother Richard would not have thought so much and would have led his troops to kill him long ago.

But in the Hehuang Valley, he was psychologically shadowed by Yang Zhi's use of firearms, and also psychologically shadowed by the Jin Kingdom's cavalry. The Ming Dynasty destroyed the Jin Kingdom again, which made Brother Richard even more fearful of the Ming army's combat effectiveness.

As a result, Brother Richard did not dare to go into battle rashly, even though he had twice the strength of the enemy.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, there is an urgent message from the capital!"

When Brother Richard opened the letter, he immediately became furious and depressed.

He had received news of the rebellion in Dingzhou before, but now he received news that there were tribal rebellions in Jingzhou, Huaizhou, and Shunzhou.

The imperial court was in the process of quelling the uprising armies everywhere. Since it was difficult to raise food and grass quickly, it had to transfer food from the military warehouse of the Chaoshun Army Department - that was Brother Richard's starting station for military food.

Brother Richard stared blankly outside the city. He could no longer defend the city and had to go out to fight the Ming army.

An army of 90,000 people can't sustain themselves with food and grass.

With the food stored in Weifu Army Division, we could have survived the winter.

But that damn Li Quanlu, who led troops to rescue the Tiande Army City last time, inexplicably fled without a fight, and also left a large amount of grain and livestock to Han Shizhong. Brother Richard even wondered whether that guy had embezzled too much and was trying to settle the accounts.

When Brother Richard summoned the generals, he did not say that there was not enough food and grass. He only said calmly and said with a confident smile: "I have found out the strength of the enemy's army. Although the main force of the Ming army is 30,000 to 40,000, the real elite is only 50,000.

Six thousand. You all go back and prepare, and I will choose a day to fight the Ming army on the grassland!"
