The power of the powerful is still weaker in the north. After all, the country is poor and has never been valued by the powerful. Their strength has also been limited. But in the south, especially the richer the place, the influence of the powerful is stronger. There
The powerful not only own the best land and monopolize local business, but also almost all have strong private soldiers. Once they find that someone has infringed on their rights and interests, these private soldiers will be dispatched, like locusts, to eat up their opponents.
clean.
It is precisely because they have their own private armed forces that those in power are very afraid of them, and when making some decisions, they also have to look at their attitudes and expressions.
The so-called thinking for the people naturally means thinking about the powerful people who hold power and resources. As for the life and death of the common people who really have no influence, who cares what they do? If even such people are concerned,
Wouldn’t that mean there are a lot more people who are stalling? Should we still do things in the future?
The world is so big, there is only so much land, and there are only so many benefits. If you give more to this person, you will have less to that person, right? How can it be fair?
This is the thought of the powerful people in the world. Tang Ao did the opposite, vigorously suppressed the powerful and generous the welfare of the people. This was not another road.
Under such a choice, there will be various difficulties and problems in the early stage, and it will even be boycotted by all the nobles, making it difficult to move forward.
But there are also many benefits, that is, Tang Ao has the final say on everything he occupies, and there is less prevarication and friction, and he can truly centralize power to himself. Whenever he starts to do something, he can
One call and a hundred responses.
"Very well, tell the officers and men below that you must follow policies towards the people and always keep in mind the military laws. Anyone who is found bullying the people, whether they are officers or soldiers, must be severely punished. In addition, you can also send more reserve soldiers.
, this is also a good opportunity to train them." Looking at Shi Lei, Tang Ao gave some instructions and waved him to do it. In the following days, Tang Ao appeared to be "arduous" siege, but in fact he was
They were waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the Liaozhou Army.
Just capturing Ningcheng and occupying Jizhou is naturally not Tang Ao's main purpose. Using this to eliminate the opponent's effective strength is the most important. As long as the Liaozhou army is hurt and scared, the territory he occupies will be
It will be more stable. Otherwise, if it is just to capture a city, he can capture it when the army approaches the gate of Ning City without having to wait any longer.
Tang Ao's thoughts were unknown to others. Seeing the sound of cannons ringing out every day, and Shi'er launching attacks, but unable to shake Ningcheng's defenses, Zhong Mu's face was no longer so nervous.
"The Jizhou Army is just mediocre." He said these words and handed over the city defense matters to his deputy An Hong. Zhong Mu walked down the tower and returned to the mansion. He had just taken in a fourteen-year-old boy two days ago.
Concubine, now is the time to keep me company.
The confrontation continued, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye. In mid-April, news finally came that Chen Peng was less than twenty miles away from Ningcheng and could enter the city that night. After hearing the news, Zhong Mu
He was completely relieved. With these 50,000 reinforcements in hand, he believed that there would be no problem defending the city. Even if he fought out and drove the Jizhou Army back to Jizhou, there would be no problem. He
He was even thinking that if His Majesty hadn't ordered the troops not to enter Jizhou, he would have taken the opportunity to seize the situation there.
Tang Ao was the first to know about the arrival of 50,000 enemy reinforcements than Zhong Mu. At this time, the main force of the army had already completed the callback, and after the staff came up with three complete sets of plans, the generals were familiarizing themselves with the battle plan.
"When will enemy reinforcements arrive in the city?" Tang Ao stood with his hands folded and asked Shi Lei.
"If you return to the young master, I will enter the city at the time of You."
"Okay, tell the army to take some time to rest. We will take action at the end of Xu." A decisive voice came out of Tang Ao's mouth. After waiting for so long, it was finally time to close the net.
The Jizhou Army outside the city was making preparations for the battle. Thanks to the darkness, their actions were not discovered by the Liaozhou Army on the tower. Of course, even if they were discovered, the Liaozhou Army would probably
You may not think that this is Jizhou Army launching an attack, but perhaps you may think that Jizhou Army is afraid and wants to pack up and retreat.
Chen Peng rode a tall horse into Ningcheng from the west city gate, with a dusty look on his face. After receiving the order, he rushed over non-stop. What he was afraid of was that Ningcheng would be lost before he arrived. Now it seems that,
He could breathe a sigh of relief.
"Haha, General Chen has come a long way to work hard. I have prepared wine and food to help the general to wash away the dust." Zhong Mu, with a big smile on his face, appeared in front of Chen Peng with a group of his men, and said very enthusiastically.
"Come on, General Zhong." Chen Peng, who also had a smile on his face, nodded in agreement. He was really exhausted after coming all the way, and he didn't even have a good meal. Now that we have reached our destination, we can have a good meal.
Relax. As for whether something will happen tonight?
Are you kidding me? When Zhong Mu brought 50,000 new troops, the city was safe and sound. Now that he has brought 50,000 elite veterans, there will be no problems.
With this idea in mind, this night can be said to be a carnival night. All the young generals above the thousandth commander of the Liaozhou Army were called to the General Military Mansion. The top leaders of the two armies gathered here not only to communicate with each other, but also to express their feelings to everyone.
They will be rewarded for their hard work during this period. After tonight, starting tomorrow, they will prepare to counterattack and blast the daring Jizhou Army out of the Liaozhou border.
The banquet was served, and good wine and food were brought out. The generals of the Liaozhou Army fell into a state of drunkenness, but they were also having a carnival before the end.
Xu Shi is nine o'clock in the evening in later generations.
The 50,000 Jizhou troops were neatly dressed, with weapons in hand, and their horses snorting, making all preparations before attacking the city.
All the bronze cannons and catapults were adjusted and aimed at the Ningcheng tower. But they were not the first wave to attack. This time the starting lineup was a group of birds.
The bestiality technique was once regarded as useless by Tang Ao. He always thought that this thing did not play a great role. It was also time travel. Wouldn't it be better if we gave him a warehouse or an exchange system?
But as the war went deeper and deeper, the benefits of bestiality were revealed step by step. The bird troops created through communication became clairvoyants and ears for the army. And today, there will be more of them.
It has a function, that is - bomber!
Yes, Tang Ao wants to borrow the power of birds to use the flying ability in future generations. Think about it, what will happen when these birds carry sky thunder explosive packs and are air-dropped into the target area? What will it be like?
of splendor.
More importantly, in the face of such a bird bombing team, with backward technology and even cavalry being an advanced unit, what defense can we use to defend ourselves?
After having this idea, Tang Ao became excited and began to communicate with the birds. In fact, it was only a few dozen kilograms of thunder explosive packs. For Sea Holly, which could easily grab hundreds of kilograms, it was basically useless.
It's no big deal.
Sea Holly is known as the God of Eagles. This is not only reflected in their high speed, but more importantly, their strength is also huge, and they are fully capable of carrying out bombing missions.
It's one thing to be able to communicate smoothly, but it's another thing to make them truly effective. For example, Xiaobai has obvious resistance. It is wise and has seen thunder explosions.
The scene and power that followed made it fly into the sky with this thing. It was really bold.
Many times of communication failed, even if Tang Ao promised again and again that the fuse of the Tianlei explosive pack was long enough, and as long as it was thrown out within the specified time, there would be absolutely no accidents, but Xiaobai still refused again and again. Okay.
What is true is that Xiaobai is afraid, but there are other bold sea holly, and the bright golden Xiaojin all over the body is a bold bird. Although it is a female and is still being pursued by Xiaobai, but in terms of
Come with courage, but don't give in too much.
When Tang Ao took out the roasted leg of lamb with plenty of spices and appeared in front of Xiao Jin, the temptation of the food defeated his fear, and he began to lead the team into the sky again and again to undertake test flight missions of bombers.
The craftsmen also continued to adjust the leads according to the drills and test flights. Finally, after testing hundreds of times, they were finished. The bomber formation had its own unique combat power. And today will be their first appearance.
hour.
Although it was already dark outside, it was nothing to the birds. Under Tang Ao's expectant eyes, the birds headed by Xiao Jin flew into the sky and headed towards the dark night.
At first, you can still see the small bright light after the ultra-long lead is ignited, but as the "bomber" group gets farther and farther, this light also disappears.
"Everyone, be prepared. The Shanshan Guards can attack first." After watching Xiao Jin and other birds ascend into the sky, Tang Ao, who was wearing golden armor, turned around and gave the order to prepare for battle to the army.
The Shanshan Guard Cavalry was dispatched. Considering that the battle had not yet begun, it was better not to make such a big noise. They just walked slowly, bypassing Ning Cheng and outflanking him.
Xiaobai may also know that his timidity has aroused the dissatisfaction of his master. At this moment, he also brought hundreds of birds up to the sky. They will serve as the eyes of the army, staring at every move of the Liaozhou army, letting them
Nothing to hide from.
Xiao Jin led the team up to an altitude of several hundred meters, using the cover of the night to attract no attention. They successfully arrived over Ningcheng, and then began to descend, roaring into the evening wind. When they noticed
After the fuses of the explosive packs of sky mines under their feet became shorter and shorter, the sky mines were thrown down from the sky one after another, and hung down everywhere in Ningcheng City.
