After Jin Feng came to this world, he commanded several battles. With weapons and fighting methods that were ahead of his time, he repeatedly defeated more with less.
Nowadays, many generals are studying and analyzing Jin Feng's previous battles, and some even spend a lot of money to buy the notes of Jin Feng's lectures from bodyguards.
But after learning about the situation in Xizhou City this time, not only Liu Tie was not confident, but Jin Feng himself was also unsure.
In every battle he fought before, he had either a geographical advantage or a weapon advantage.
But this time there was nothing.
The enemy Chen Bing was in the border area dozens of miles away from Xizhou City and made it clear that he had no intention of besieging the city.
Generally speaking, the enemy rarely bypasses the city and directly enters the enemy's territory, because in this case, if the enemy guarding the city outflanks from behind, it will be easy to cut off one's own supplies.
Li Lingrui was actually betting that if Zhang Liang held on to Xizhou City, Dangxiang's southern expedition would definitely bypass Xizhou City and directly enter the land of Qinchuan.
Li Lingrui was betting that Zhang Liang wouldn't dare to let them in.
In fact, he made the right bet, Zhang Liang really didn't dare.
There are many cavalry in Dangxiang's southern expedition. Once they are allowed to enter the country, the cavalry can quickly plunder the people to support the war. They can also quickly penetrate and attack Sichuan and Shu.
Sichuan and Shu are Jin Feng's base camp, and Jin Feng is at war with many parties at the same time, so the defense force in Jinchuan County is very weak.
Under this situation, once the enemy breaks in, it will be a huge disaster for the people of Sichuan and Shu!
Therefore, Zhang Liang did not dare to gamble, so he could only mobilize his troops to set up camp in the south of the Southern Expedition. There was only a low hill between the two sides. Not only did Zhang Liang not have any geographical advantages to take advantage of, but he was at a disadvantage.
Because the hills are high in the north and low in the south, if the enemy comes from the north and is in a highland position, both cavalry and infantry will be more advantageous.
If you are fighting catapults and heavy crossbows, the advantages will be even more obvious.
Not only does it have no geographical advantage, but it also doesn’t have much advantage in terms of weapons.
The airship and hot air balloon were restrained. Although Jin Feng got muskets, the firing speed of the muskets was too slow and the number was limited. It was okay to use them to carry out local special operations like ambushing a Shanyu, but in large-scale operations involving more than hundreds of thousands of people,
In a war, it is difficult to play a decisive role.
Moreover, because there was a traitor in the Dakang court, the party members had obtained the blueprint of the catapult a long time ago, and Jin Feng did not think that the other party would not use it.
With no terrain advantage or much weapon advantage, Jin Feng knew that this would be his most difficult battle since coming to this world.
But the enemy has already pressed forward in force, so even if Jin Feng doesn't have the confidence to attack anymore, he still has to attack.
He has no way out. The enemy is coming with a fierce momentum. Coupled with the previous hatred between the two sides, the party members will definitely not show mercy if they have the chance to attack Sichuan and Shu.
But there was no point in telling Liu Tie these things. Instead, they only made him worry.
So Jin Feng put on a confident look and patted Liu Tie on the shoulder: "Brother Tiezi, just wait and see the good show. This time I will make sure that the party members can't afford it!"
"I believe it!" Even though Liu Tie knew that Jin Feng was comforting him, he still nodded heavily.
He has seen Jin Feng's changes and growth in the past two years. Naturally, he will not say dejected words, but actively changes the subject: "By the way, brother Feng, Princess Lu Jie is expected to bring someone here in the next few days."
After collecting the body, do you still want her to collect it?"
"Since you agreed, you'll keep your word, but you have to send people to keep an eye on it, and be careful that they take advantage of the opportunity to collect the corpses to seize the city."
Jin Feng reminded: "After collecting the corpses, when they return, send someone to follow them to confirm that they are really going back."
Even though Zheng Chiyuan and Meng Tianhai have been warned, Jin Feng is still a little worried that Liu Tie will not be able to convince the public after he leaves. After all, saying one thing and doing another is a basic skill in officialdom.
The appearance of Princess Lu Jie is actually a good thing in Jin Feng's opinion.
With her as an enemy operating outside the city, the Weisheng Army and Navy would focus their attention on Princess Lu Jie, and the chance of causing trouble with Liu Tie would be reduced.
"Okay!" Liu Tie always obeyed Jin Feng's orders. He agreed and then asked: "What should we do with those prisoners?"
All the remnants of the Eastern Barbarians captured by the Jin-Barbarian coalition have been executed, and now there are still Dingbian troops, government soldiers and Jin people transporting grain and grass.
Jin Feng thought for a moment and replied: "When I go back, I will arrange for craftsmen to come and build the kiln. When the kiln is completed, I will let the Dingbian army and Fu soldiers perform hard labor in the kiln, and ordinary Jin people will go into the city in batches to build houses."
.
Before the kiln was built, they were asked to dig a pit outside the city to dispose of the corpses in the south of the city.
When dealing with ordinary Jin people, you can have a gentler attitude, or you can tell them in advance that as long as they don't be lazy, you can let them go back when Yuguan City is built.
Pay attention to the border troops and government soldiers. If you find any signs of mutiny among them, kill them if you must, and don't be lenient!"
All the houses in Yuguan City were demolished and thrown out by Liu Tie. Now that the Eastern Barbarians have been defeated, they must be rebuilt.
Prisoners are the best labor, and they are free.
The only thing to worry about is a mutiny by the prisoners.
"I will pay attention." Liu Tie nodded again and motioned to Mr. Tian to write down Jin Feng's words in a small notebook.
Jin Feng and Liu Tie were discussing the issue of defending the city in the tent, but it was busy outside.
The female workers and Tiehuying soldiers who were on duty on the city wall were all removed and replaced by Weisheng soldiers.
On the sea, the ships of the Donghai Navy also dispersed and blocked the surrounding waters.
Zhenyuan No. 2 started slowly and sailed into Yuguancheng Pier.
After Zuo Feifei asked Jin Feng for instructions, she first carried the wounded to the boat.
When the wounded got on the ship, Jin Feng saw that it was not dark yet, so he ordered the female workers and Tiehuying to board the ship as well, preparing to start the return journey that night.
Runniang and Qing Mulan also packed their luggage.
"Sir, are you in such a hurry?" Meng Tianhai found Jin Feng: "It's almost dark, let's leave tomorrow morning."
"Dangxiang's army has completed its assembly outside the Xizhou border. War may break out at any time. Go back as early as possible." Jin Feng said with a heavy tone.
"I wish you success sir!"
Meng Tianhai was also a veteran. Knowing that Xizhou City was indeed dangerous, he stopped trying to persuade Jin Feng. Instead, he said some auspicious words, and then promised again: "As for this, sir, just don't worry, I will fully cooperate with General Liu. If Dong Dong
If the barbarians dare to come again, unless all of my Wei Sheng army is dead and I, Meng Tianhai, are dead, we will never let the enemy board Yuguan City!"
"I believe!"
Jin Feng patted Meng Tianhai on the shoulder. Seeing that Runniang had packed the package, he took the lead and walked out of the tent.
Qing Mulan and Zuo Feifei had already boarded the ship first. Jin Feng and Runniang, watched by Liu Tie, Mr. Tian and others, boarded the ship last with their personal guards.
Woo!
With a dull whistle, the Zhenyuan No. 2 spewed out thick black smoke, then slowly started to leave the dock and begin its return journey.
