The deputy general chuckled and shut up.

"After the additional troops arrive, they will definitely attack the city. There are still a few days left and we have to step up preparations." Yuan Jin poured himself a glass of water, drank it and walked to the map to pick up the pole, "I am on these roads.

They have set up an ambush, no matter which way they go they will be ambushed."

These ambushes cannot kill many people, but can cause them tremendous psychological pressure.

The enemy sneaked into the country to set up an ambush for them, and the sentries and patrols along the road were unaware of it. They were so elusive that killing the general would be just a piece of cake.

This kind of pressure will cause soldiers who are originally unwilling to participate in the war to lose their will to fight.

When they arrived at the garrison camp, they would be even more frightened when they learned that 40,000 troops had been lost in half a month.

"The number of trebuchets has increased a lot, and the poison balloon weapons battalion you mentioned has also been built. We should be able to defeat them in this battle." The military advisor took out the defense map and explained it to her carefully.

In addition to Langgu Pass, the garrison also arranged troops to prepare water balloons in several places that were easily breached.

The snow on the mountain is as deep as one meter. To facilitate movement, the soldiers' clothes are not too thick.

The water ball hit the soldiers all over, soaking wet and basically losing their ability to resist.

"The military strategist is brilliant." Yuan Jin was secretly amazed after reading their defense plan.

When soldiers get sick on the battlefield, it is more uncomfortable for the general than killing them directly. Soldiers who catch a cold are sick and don't have enough medicine, so their combat effectiveness is reduced. If they are forced to go up, more people will die, and their food and grass supplies will be insufficient if they are dragged down.

Before reinforcements arrived, they faced death threats whether they moved or hid.

"I also thought of it from your poisonous balloon." The military advisor looked at her funny, "The young general is a genius, but I am getting old."

"Not old." Yuan Jin couldn't help but laugh, "You are several years younger than my father. He should be anxious if you say that."

Zhao Yingwu laughed.

After reading the defense map, Yuan Jin picked out a few areas where the arrangements were not ideal, asked them to improve them, and left the commander's tent to return to his room.

The reinforcements are now less than five days away from Lenggu Pass. If they encounter an ambush on the way, they will send out more spies. If her Lengjian Battalion is sent out at this time, it will be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, and another force will be required.

Find a way to create pressure on the reinforcements.

After washing up and putting on winter clothes, they sat in front of the fire pit. Song Yunce and Shen Rang came in and reported on their work.

During this period of time, Song Yunce gathered many soldiers stationed in the military camp and prepared a thick list of them.

"Some of these people are good at carpentry, and some of them worked as blacksmiths before coming here. The weapons camp had enough people, so they became infantrymen." Song Yunce's eyes were shining, "Some of them were literate before joining the army, but not many."

Yuan Jin was stunned for a moment and looked at him happily, "Well done."

He is quite decent as a housekeeper. She recruits people who are useful to her and trains them well so that he can be her big housekeeper in the future.

"I have also made great achievements and captured several spies." Shen Rang said proudly, "They are all spies placed in the camp by Jin State."

Yuan Jin raised his hand and flicked his forehead, "From now on, follow A Ce's example and infiltrate quietly so that everyone knows not to make trouble."

"I didn't make a fuss. I told the general when I found out." Shen Rang blushed, "Sister, if you hit your head too many times, you will become stupid."

"You are stupid, but A Ce is not." Yuan Jin joked and asked them to go down and sort out the loot and bills.

All spoils of war and prisoners of war are split 50-50, half for the main camp and half for the Cold Arrow camp.

The thing was done, and the soldiers reaped the benefits.

After resting for a while, Yuan Jin left the barracks to find his master.

I told him last time that I wanted him to bring a few more people, but he didn't agree.

The reason for not agreeing was not that I was worried that my skills would be imitated by others, but that I didn’t want to teach the girl to learn medicine without being beaten or scolded.

Yuan Jin carried a bottle of wine and a bag of dried meat, entered the master's pharmacy and sat down with a smile, "Master."

"What's the point of a young general?" Li Tu raised his eyes and glanced at the wine bottle in her hand, angrily and funny, "Your father is not like you."

I don't know if she can follow anyone's whim, even if she is cheating or bribing her.

"Master, I promise to take good care of them and not let them cause any trouble for you." Yuan Jin put down the wine and dried meat and added firewood to the brazier, "There are only two medicine shops in Xingcheng, so you can teach a few more apprentices.

The people will erect a monument for you."

"I don't want them to erect a monument." Li Tu laughed, "You are a major general now, how can you have time to help me take care of people."

"Master, you can rest assured. I have more people than the ones I brought this time." Yuan Jin lowered his voice and explained, "I will not go back to Beijing in the future. I will live here all the time. I am alone."

We can’t treat so many people.”

The data on prostitutes Su Yongzhang gave her stated that there were 4,000 prostitutes in Xingcheng who were still accepting customers, and there were 1,000 prostitutes who were unable to receive customers.

In this city with a total population of only one hundred thousand, there are five thousand prostitutes. Those who rely on them to eat make a lot of money, but they live the most undignified life and have to endure the torture of illness.

She needs manpower to do a lot of things, including logistical support for the troops and new departments in the prefecture's yamen, no one can do it.

Some of these girls who have been sold, abducted, and dispatched are already knowledgeable and can save a lot of time studying.

Even the lowest prostitutes can be allowed to engage in farming and weaving to make clothes.

As for how the garrison can solve the problem of physiological needs, it is not difficult. With 60,000 people in her hands, everything that can and cannot be done must follow her rules.

Zhao Yingwu did not report the truth to the court about these two great raids, but continued to ask for food and wages.

"I promise you." Li Tu laughed angrily at her appearance, "Why don't you ask your father to act like a spoiled brat."

"I'm going, otherwise why would he let me bother you?" Yuan Jin smiled and said, "Master, I met a master of brewing wine. When this battle is over, I will ask her to brew wine for you."

Li Tu:……

Have you learned how to write IOUs?

…

The reinforcements of Jin State's army arrived outside Linggu Pass and suddenly attacked the city on the second day.

Yuan Jin and Zhao Yingwu went up to the city tower and looked at the Jin army from a distance with solemn expressions.

The Jin army suddenly attacked the city. It should be that the reinforcements accelerated their march and would arrive outside the pass in advance.

The additional 50,000 troops plus the remaining 20,000 total 70,000 troops, and the reinforcements are 100,000. If the 80,000 troops at Linggu Pass only defend but do not attack, they will suffer a lot.

The three-bow bed crossbow is still almost ready, and its effectiveness is still unknown.

The 'poison gas' ball designed by Yuan Jin has not been arranged this time, and only conventional tung oil fireballs and stones are used to defend against the enemy's attack.

The time is too short, otherwise a larger repeating crossbow could be made to defend the city.

"They look very powerful today, but in fact they are just showing off. They will not really start attacking the city until reinforcements arrive." Zhao Yingwu waved his hand and chopped off a flying arrow, frowning deeply, "An army of 170,000 people.

It’s not easy for dad to win beautifully when we attack Lenggu Pass.”

"There should be one of your spies in the enemy camp, right?" Yuan Jin also cut off an arrow and pulled him to squat, "I have a plan that will prevent the 170,000 troops from coming back, and we can still take advantage of the opportunity to kill

Go out and occupy the 60,000 troops that have been stationed in the city."

It is not possible to conquer the entire Jin Kingdom, but it is still possible to capture one or two cities.

She arranged for a squad of soldiers to sneak into the reinforcements, and they all carried poisonous mushroom powder that could make people lose their minds.

If Jin State loses this battle, it will no longer be eligible for peace talks with Emperor Dasheng, so it can only grit its teeth and withdraw its troops.

Dengcheng is located outside Linggu Pass. Its status is similar to Xingcheng but its geographical conditions are better than Xingcheng. By occupying this city, Jin State has three lines of defense if it wants to attack Dasheng.

This city was originally the territory of Dasheng and had been occupied by the Jin State for many years. Taking it back and letting her make the decision could prevent the Jin State from sending troops to invade again, and also prevent the Emperor of Dasheng from finding out that he secretly supported his troops.

It is difficult to conceal the destruction of Jin State. If you take back a city and plan carefully, you can hide it.

During this period, the garrison camp intercepted a lot of news sent to Shangjing. After the official road was rebuilt, it could be reached by horse in half a day, so she could know the movements of Xingcheng at any time.

"There are some spies, what do you want to do?" Zhao Yingwu looked around, with a indulgent smile on his face, "You tell me, daddy will listen to you in everything."

The 170,000 Jin army was pressing down on the border. If she could really win this battle, it would not be impossible to cover up the reconquest of the city.
