Lu Jing commanded eleven archers, and after shooting from the air all six tattoo cavalry sent by Mo Li who returned to the tattoo country for help, he landed on the ground and handed the radar to Sylvia.
He and another group of archers boarded the Qingyun Crane to take over the investigation, while Lu Jing himself discussed the next battle plan with the three generals Jiang Weiyan.
Yan Ran, the commander of the New Yan Army, asked: "Should we invite the chief and deputy commanders of the "Security Army" in Tongyan City to attend the meeting?" Jiang Yuan said, "No need, we will know as soon as we look at the quality of those troops: it is impossible."
They are expected to fight, and the two generals are also from the old Queen Mother's party. They are good at making money in business, but they are definitely not good at fighting. If it weren't for the rapid arrival of the tattoo army, they would have fled Tongyan City long ago.
Got it!"
Wei Wushuang, the newly promoted military commander, said: "We learned from the soldiers and civilians in the city that after the Tongyan Army besieged Tongyan City, they never launched an attack. Many people and some officers and soldiers in the city ran out of the city to attack the Tongyan Army, fearing they would starve to death.
He surrendered, but was driven back into the city by the Tatmen Army. Later, more people left the city to surrender, and the Tatmen Army became impatient and killed some soldiers and civilians who fled the city and surrendered. So no one dared to leave the city anymore.
Because our reinforcements arrived in time, Tongyan City was besieged for a short period of time, so the food in the city was not exhausted, and the soldiers and civilians probably did not starve."
Lu Jing thought to himself: "We have only been surrounded for a few days. We have neither fought nor starved. It's okay for the people to escape if they want. It's really despicable that so many soldiers have escaped!"
Jiang Yuan said: "There is indeed enough food in the city, but many people and soldiers are hungry."
Lu Jing, Yan Ran, and Wei Wushuang were all shocked when they heard this. Wei Wushuang asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
Jiang Yuan showed an angry look on his face and said: "I just learned from some people that the commander of the Tongyan City Guards "Guan Army" is named Ge Lei, and he is a money-grubbing dog official! He saw
Tongyan City was besieged and the food in the city was in short supply, so he ordered all the food in the city to be gathered and guarded by soldiers..."
Lu Jing thought to himself: "This approach is correct. The next step must be to distribute food to the soldiers and civilians according to the daily prescribed amount. Soldiers and working people will eat more, and those who do not work will eat less."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuan continued: "This Gray actually stipulated that all soldiers and civilians must use money to buy these grains, and the price he sold the grains was so high that many soldiers and civilians went hungry.
The soldiers and civilians who expressed dissatisfaction were imprisoned and even tortured under Gray's order!..."
Hearing this, Lu, Yan, and Wei all showed incredulous expressions, thinking: This Gray's greed for money has really reached the point of being insane!
Wei Wushuang said angrily: "If this kind of person had appeared in the Wei Dynasty in the past, I am afraid that the whole family would have been killed by mutinous soldiers!"
Lu Jing and Yan Ran were filled with hatred after hearing this, hoping that they could kill these dog officials with their own hands!
Jiang Yuan said: "After I heard the news, I found it unbelievable at first, but after asking a few more people, I was convinced that it was completely true! So I immediately ordered that Gray and his subordinates, including the deputy commander
Several major military officers, including several, have been placed under house arrest..."
Having said this, Jiang Yuan paused briefly and then said: "I have sent people to report all the situations here, including Gray's crimes, to the king. The most important thing for us next is how to capture the South Camp of the Tattoo Army.
, but also to be prepared for reinforcements from the Tsing Kingdom..."
Lu Jing interjected: "Before I came here for the meeting, I had killed all six cavalry sent by the Sixteenth Legion to ask for help. My companion Miss Xi is now leading archers to reconnoiter on Qingyun Crane. Once discovered,
The tattooed cavalry who asks for help will be shot immediately!"
Jiang Yuan said: "You did a great job! So far in this battle, you, Lu Jing, should be the first to take the lead!" Hearing the commander's praise of Lu Jing, Wei Wushuang and Yan Ran also expressed their agreement.
Lu Jing said a few words modestly, but he was extremely excited in his heart!
Yan Ran said: "According to General Lu's investigation and the prisoners' accounts, the South Camp of the Tattoo Army has 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, plus 30 black tigers, and we now have a total of only more than 20,000 people who can fight.
. The South Camp is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so a strong attack is definitely not worth the gain. If there is not much food, grass and water in the camp, siege might be a good idea."
Wei Wushuang said: "I heard from the soldiers and civilians in the city that the Tattoo Army harvested a lot of rice and wheat in the past few days, and more than half of it was sent to the South Camp."
Lu Jing also said: "I saw from the air that there was indeed a lot of food and grass piled in the southern camp. It would be no problem for more than 15,000 people to feed them for several months. They also dug many large puddles in the camp.
, a large amount of water has accumulated, and streams are constantly flowing in to replenish it.”
Wei Wushuang said: "In this way, if we want to besieged, it may take more than half a year to see the effect."
Hearing this, Yan Ran sighed and looked sad.
Jiang Yuan said: "The Tattoo Army has a rule: every three days, it must send light cavalry or flying monsters to report the battle situation to the Emperor of China. Therefore, even if we can intercept the cavalry and flying monsters of the Tattoo Army reporting for help, the Emperor only needs to
If we don't receive regular battle reports, we will know that something unexpected has happened. If reinforcements are sent, we will be in danger of being attacked from both sides. Therefore, we must make a quick decision and capture Nanda Camp as soon as possible!"
Yan Ran said: "Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to besiege this Tatmadaw camp, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and has sufficient food, grass and water. But fortunately, we have General Lu and Qingyun Crane, but the enemy has no flying combat monsters.
"
The three generals Jiang, Wei and Lu all showed knowing smiles at the same time.
Wei Wushuang added: "We must immediately mobilize the people of Tongyan City, regardless of gender, plus the 10,000 "security guards" to help us build fortifications and completely surround the south camp of the Tattoo Army. Moreover,
, and another thing that is beneficial to us is: I heard that the number of siege weapons in the South Camp of the Taoist Army is not large, because they did not plan to capture Tongyan City in the first place, they only planned to besiege it. "
.
Since the original commander of the Sixteenth Army Corps died in battle, according to military law, the former deputy commander Mo Li was automatically promoted to commander.
Mo Li stood on the watchtower and watched hundreds of thousands of Qi soldiers in the distance, who were building a ring of fortifications a thousand steps away from Nanda Camp. The newly built fortifications were connected to the southern wall of Tongyan City, connecting them.
The Nanda Camp of the Tattoo Army was surrounded by groups.
Some generals of the Tattoo Army proposed taking the initiative to attack and break the siege, but they were rejected by Mo Li and other generals.
The reason for their rejection was that the Qi Army could so quickly wipe out the three large camps of the Tattoo Army in the East, West, and North, which shows that its combat effectiveness is very powerful, because even a main A-level legion of the Tattoo Army would be difficult to accomplish such a thing.
, I’m afraid it would take two Class A legions, or the “strongest in the world” 80,000-strong Tui Emperor’s personal guard legion to achieve such a result.
Facing such a powerful Qi army, the best strategy is to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. Anyway, the camp has sufficient weapons, food, grass and water resources, so it will be no problem to defend for the first half of the year.
