Chapter eight hundred and eleven war is not economical
Fortunately, He Mai is also a good fighter, and he is not just a showman who only knows how to use his mouth. As soon as he came over, he eliminated three enemies in a row.
Still using the same spear!
The efficiency is so high!
"Amai, your martial arts are really getting better and better. Have you practiced secretly?"
Wang Mi would not be wrong about this. During the last battle in Xiangyang, He Mai's martial arts was almost at the same level as him.
In short, it's a novice level.
Now I can actually hold a spear in my hand and hit the enemy continuously without even taking a breath.
He Mai repelled another wave of enemies, this time not with spears, but with pistols.
As soon as the gunfire rang out, all the Qin soldiers who originally wanted to move forward were frightened away. Of course, two of them were affected by the ammunition of the pistol and were seriously injured.
After repelling them, He Wuji had time to pay attention to Wang Mi.
Of course, Wang Shilang was not idle here, but he also saw clearly that archery was something that was not compatible with him.
Although he was lucky enough to shoot the enemy general, he almost lost half his life. Drawing a bow and shooting arrows is really a physical job.
And he, a lazy modern man who still retains the memory of his previous life, still feels physically and mentally exhausted every time he draws a bow and shoots an arrow.
After all, the pistol is still more useful, but when the battle is over and the commander returns to the court, he must take the time to modify the pistol properly.
Today's pistols are really difficult to use and affect performance.
As soon as Niu Zan fell, the entire Qin army lost its backbone, and the formation, which had lost part of its combat effectiveness, fell apart in an instant.
Objectively speaking, there are not many Qin soldiers left on the current Fugu battlefield. You must know that at the beginning, the number of men and horses on both sides was about the same.
And now, looking around, there are only about 200 people.
The number of casualties was as high as seventy-eight out of ten!
Even the remaining two hundred people generally lost the will to fight. Looking at the messy valley, Wang Mi was filled with emotions.
Niu Zan was dead. Through the captured prisoners, Wang Mi also found out that the man he had just killed with a rocket was the team leader Niu Zan.
Apart from him, there is no one in this team who can be called a general.
Although this battle seriously delayed the progress of Wang Mi's sneak attack and caused the Jin army to lose many men, the victory was not a good one.
However, the Jin army still gained a lot.
Seeing that the manpower on his side was getting smaller and smaller, and the remaining Di Qin soldiers gradually lost their fighting spirit. Wang Mi watched the situation develop and saw that the fighting was no longer fierce, so he sent He Mai to gather the surrendered Qin soldiers.
It would be most appropriate to leave this matter to him.
That clever mouth and clever tongue can bring life to even the dead, not to mention simple-minded people.
No matter what happens, he can stand up first, take a breath, and support Xiao He before dying.
Sure enough, as soon as He Mai took action, the matter became a success.
Originally, those Di people were known for their tyranny and stubbornness. Each one of them had their heads as heavy as iron weights, but they didn't know how to turn around.
Surrender is impossible.
In Xiangyang and Nanyang, Wang Mi had seen too many scenes like this. Xu knew that his tribe was an alien race after all and an invader in the Middle-earth.
Not standing upright.
Therefore, as long as they can still fight, these Di people are quite stubborn. In addition, they are simple-minded people. Surrender is often regarded as a shameful act by them, although they are not heroes at all.
, but he always regards himself as such.
I don’t want to give everyone a good time.
Seeing the scene in front of them, under the leadership of a small group of Jin troops, the remaining Di and Qin soldiers were obediently putting down their weapons, consciously standing in line, and following suit.
Only then did Wang Mi realize that it was not that the Di people refused to surrender, but that his method was wrong.
The same thing was handed over to He Mai. Not only did he not get angry, nor did he get angry, nor did he curse or threaten to beat him, he just used two lips to make Di Ren listen to him obediently.
Whoever saw it didn’t say a word about Xiao He Niupi!
As soon as He Mai took on this task, he immediately got into the mood. He knew that Wang Mi used him at this time just to give full play to his strengths.
What is He Mai’s specialty?
Of course, he is sharp-tongued!
When He Mai arrived, he soon discovered that the Qin soldiers in front of him were actually very different from the ones he had seen in Xiangyang last time.
Although they all look like they belong to the same tribe, their morale is definitely different.
The Qin soldiers in Xiangyang were quite arrogant. Even though they were completely defeated, they still refused to bow their heads easily. Many soldiers, when the Jin army counted them, actually raised their swords and committed suicide, splattering the Jin army's face with blood.
.
However, this time, He Mai led his men and horses over to count the remaining Qin soldiers. The procedures were similar. However, although these Qin soldiers still had fierce eyes and disdainful expressions, they did not resist much.
There is a way to do this!
So He Mai straightened his back and stood in front of the Qin soldiers. At this time, his audience had already put down their weapons and showed no threat.
He Mai looked at them with various understandings and emotions, and almost didn't say a single unpleasant word.
The most important thing is that he also saved face for the Di people.
This is what he said.
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. This is an ancient rule. I believe you all have known this truth for a long time. I think back then, our Jin army was also swept by the Di people. At that time, our ancestors could not swallow this at all.
But now, the Di Qin Kingdom has been lost and has fallen into the hands of the Qiang people. What does this mean? "
"This shows that Di Qin's situation is irreversible. In war, we always fight with one's own momentum. If the momentum is ours, even if the enemy's army is strong, we still have the possibility of breaking through the encirclement and winning. But if the momentum is no longer ours, then
Just being brave and good at fighting will not guarantee victory."
He Mai's long speech, it can be seen that no matter how carefully the Qin soldiers in front of him listened, they were still somewhat resistant.
This is completely normal. He Mai has been prepared for this.
What he expected was not that the Qin soldiers would immediately surrender to him and turn against him. Even if these Qin soldiers really swore allegiance now, he would not dare to accept them.
Because such a decision is simply immature and has no credibility at all.
What He Mai and Wang Mi want is just for these few prisoners to be obedient and stop causing trouble before this battle ends.
To be honest, now standing on this ancient battlefield, Wang Mi gradually understood how some of the experience in ancient wars was obtained.
And how to adapt to the environment at that time.
It's really unsafe to have so many prisoners of war on the battlefield!
Then, He Mai added: "Let me tell you the truth here. I don't think that your martial arts and tactics have ended up like this under our army. It can only be said that it is the general trend. If you are not happy in your heart,
You can blame all this on God, because it didn't let you win, not on your lack of ability."
If the words He Mai just uttered did not cause much disturbance in Qin Bing's heart, now, they were indeed greatly touched.
The Qin soldiers suddenly realized that the responsibility for the defeat might not lie with them at all.
It’s God who doesn’t help them!
It’s the general’s incompetence that has exhausted the entire army!
Thinking of this, the Qin soldiers suddenly felt much more relaxed, and even their surrender postures became more flexible.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Mi discovered that the expressions of those Di Qin meng who had looked bitter and resentful just now suddenly changed, and their faces took on a completely new look. Thinking back to his previous life, Wang Mi suddenly realized that they were the same as those waiting at the entrance of the supermarket.
The ladies and gentlemen handing out free eggs are not much different either.
It's all full of joy and excitement.
This is surrender!
It's not like they won the battle. What kind of ecstasy soup did He Mai give them to make this group of people collectively fall into a demonic barrier?
So excited.
Although Wang Mi was very curious, the situation did not leave him time to continue gossiping.
After they gathered the remaining defeated soldiers together, Wang Mi selected a few soldiers who looked smart and stepped forward to question them.
"How is the situation in the city?"
"Who sent you here to ambush?"
These are the issues that Wang Mi is most concerned about now. Time is tight, so he can only ask questions while marching, without daring to delay for a moment.
A few soldiers are riding on horses. You look at me and I look at you. The current development of the situation also makes them at a loss.
They were not killed or imprisoned, and they even had horses to ride on!
Isn't this strange?
There must be some conspiracy!
Some soldiers had this idea in their minds, but they were quickly dispelled by the persuasion of their brothers. What kind of conspiracy and conspiracy? They thought too much!
fo
In their current state, do they still have the value of being calculated?
So, after a few people thought about it for a while, they made up their mind.
They spoke the language of the Di people, and although their voices were not too quiet, Wang Shilang couldn't understand a single word.
Even though you don't understand them, you can tell 70% to 80% of what they are thinking by just looking at the expressions on their faces.
Soon, the Di people introduced a representative, who should be able to speak Chinese better.
He hesitated for a moment and then officially spoke: "Inform the general of the Jin Dynasty that there are not many generals in Yecheng now. It is widely rumored that General Fu Pi is dead, and only General Zhang Hao is still supporting us."
"Today, there are about 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and the weapons and armor are still complete. However, due to the lack of generals, there is no one to direct all affairs in the city, and the order is extremely chaotic."
After hearing this, Wang Mi nodded happily. This was exactly the information he needed. The soldier said truthfully that it was the dead team leader Niu Zan's idea to come to Fugu to ambush. Zhang Hao also agreed.
When Wang Mi heard this, he cursed: This Niu Zan seems to be a character and very tactical. Fortunately, he has been eliminated. Otherwise, he would be really dangerous.
Wang Mi felt comforted when he thought that Niu Zan was dead, but he didn't expect that the little soldier's words after that would make his heart fall into an ice hole in an instant.
"Although the battle situation here has been decided, Captain Niu has already sent people to Yecheng to deliver the message. I think the city should be prepared."
The soldier murmured, but it was the last time he told the most important news. Wang Mi was so angry that he whipped up his horsewhip and ran towards the south gate, cursing!
I never expected that this Niu Zan would actually retain such a skill!
Wang Mi was rushing towards his destination, but where were the Di Qin defenders in Ye City?
What are they doing again?
In Ye City, on the north gate tower.
Zhang Hao foreshadowed Niu Zan's defeat almost as soon as the soldiers who reported the news arrived.
The troops and horses he brought were really too few.
According to Zhang Hao's estimation, if this wave of Jin troops just passed through the Fugu area accidentally, then with Niuzan's ability, he might be able to wipe out all of them and escape unscathed.
And now, according to the information provided by Xiaobing, we can know that these Jin troops also plan to come to Yecheng for a sneak attack.
Their troops, horses, and equipment should also be good, so Niuzan will be at a disadvantage.
Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly. Obviously, it was meaningless to assist Niu Zan at this time. For him now, consolidating Yecheng's defense was the key point.
So he immediately divided some of his troops, horses, weapons and equipment and went to the tower in the south city to prepare to attack the invading Jin army.
"few people!"
“Too few people!”
Veteran general Zhang Hao slapped the wall of the enemy tower hard with his slightly old hands. He was not resenting that there were too few soldiers, but that there were no available generals.
Soldiers without a general are like a group of blind lambs, just wandering around the fence without knowing where to attack.
However, this is the current pattern in ancient times. From an army of tens of thousands, it is not easy to select ten people who are smart and good at fighting as generals.
There are more people who are either captured temporarily to make up the numbers, and even the weapons are not good enough, or they are brave enough to fight, but they have no resourcefulness at all.
Not to mention entrusting them with such an important and arduous task as leading others to fight.
Now, Zhang Hao regrets extremely. If he had known earlier, he should not have let Niu Zan go to Fugu to stage an ambush. Even if it delayed the Jin army, so what?
So far, Niu Zan has not been seen. Although he has not received exact information, Zhang Hao has secretly speculated that this person is in danger.
Niu Zan should have been allowed to stay in the city a long time ago and guard other city gates!
It's all Fu Pi's fault, this idiot!
If he hadn't died, Zhang Hao wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.
Now how to do?
Zhang Hao had no better way, so he had to mobilize his troops to the south city gate and give them enough support. How to fight could only be decided by the soldiers themselves.
As for how the fight will turn out, it is beyond Zhang Hao's control.
He has no one available!
But in front of them, under the tower of the north gate of Ye City, the Jin army's attack was still fierce. Compared with Wang Mi who went for a sneak attack, Liu Yu's equipment was more complete.
Who made this the base camp?
Therefore, Liu Yu once again used his tactical characteristics.
When it comes to fighting, there is no need to pay attention to economy at all. If you pay attention to economy, then don’t fight!
Tightening one's belt has never been Liu Jinu's style.
