After Song Qing left, Liu Mingzhi said some words to Zhang Kuang that all the generals, Keyan and others except Zhang Kuang himself, heard in confusion.
What Liu is so bold and what turns defeat into victory makes Ke Yan and the others a little curious. Could it be that King Bingjian still has some extraordinary weapons in his hands?
They deliberately opened their mouths to ask questions and resolve the doubts in their hearts, but seeing the presence of their old master, the few of them had no choice but to suppress their doubts and wait silently aside.
Liu Mingzhi picked up the candlestick on the side and bent down again to look down at the entire sand table.
Taking the six cities in northern Xinjiang as a context, a towering tree gradually emerged in my mind.
Branches and leaves are the entire sand table, roads, canyons, fortresses, and border towns are the branches, branches, and leaves of big trees, and other more sophisticated things.
According to the common sense of the confrontation between the two armies, if you want to capture a border city, you must use three times more troops than the defenders to securely break the city.
But this is not a hard-and-fast rule, and there are many uncertain factors mixed into it.
For example, a large number of Turkic troops gathered outside Yunzhou City. What were their siege equipment? Did they obtain siege weapons such as artillery from the Jin Kingdom? How many catapults and crossbows were there?
These are all mutation factors that determine how long Yunzhou can hold on.
Unfortunately, the two armies haven't fought yet, and Liu Mingzhi doesn't know much of the information. Now he can only consider the worst-case scenario.
Thinking of the evil aunt Liu Ying who came with him and transferred to Yunzhou, Liu Mingzhi felt extremely nervous.
Yunzhou is the city where his uncle Yunchong is stationed. He hopes that his aunt can evacuate Yunzhou in time. With 330,000 Turkic cavalry attacking the city, they are blind.
Although my aunt is also a martial artist who has learned kung fu from my wife, Madam Liu, Bai Bing, among the real chaos of arrows, there are only a few people who can calmly face the thousands of arrows like Qi Ya.
I have also practiced the light skill of stepping on the wind and snow, which has been lost in the world. However, if I don’t have the inner strength to condense the Gang Qi to protect my body, let alone thousands of arrows, even if a thousand arrows are fired in volley, no one can stop me from becoming a person.
A hedgehog.
Sighing silently, Liu Mingzhi could only hope that if unfortunately the city was destroyed, the three thousand shadow killer guards in his aunt's hands could protect the couple and leave safely.
Liu Mingzhi, who was holding a candlestick and examining the sand table, suddenly said: "Move troops to Yunzhou!"
Zhang Kuang, who was also looking at the sand table, was startled and subconsciously blurted out: "Where can we mobilize our troops?"
Liu Mingzhi picked up the bamboo pole on the side and pointed at the location of Fuzhou City: "Nangong Ye, the Marquis of Yong'an in Fuzhou, still has 50,000 elite flying eagle guards that can be mobilized. This time the Jin Kingdom's attack direction focuses on our Yingzhou city.
With Jeju and Fuzhou to the west, the 50,000 Eagle Guards can only wait for the time being. In this case, it is better to dispatch troops to Yunzhou to rush to support them."
Zhang Kuang frowned and showed a hint of hesitation: "All the elites in Fuzhou have mobilized troops to support Yunzhou. Although Jin Guoming has no intention of attacking Fuzhou, what if they secretly hide an ambush and attack Fuzhou suddenly?
?”
Liu Mingzhi hesitated after hearing this, and his eyes fell on the nearby state capitals around Fuzhou.
"How many auxiliaries and soldiers are there in Fuzhou now?"
"Together, there are more than 30,000 people, but you also know their fighting power, just in case..."
"General Zhang, there is no emergency. You must not be indecisive on the battlefield. A single thought will kill tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of brothers on the battlefield. If you decide, you will be decisive!"
Hearing this, Zhang Kuang looked at Young Master Liu with a firm face and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, please tell me what you mean first."
Liu Mingzhi raised the bamboo pole and patted it in his hand. After a moment, he swung the bamboo pole to more than 20 hinterland state capitals behind Fuzhou.
"In the name of this king, mobilize the troops from Tanzhou, Yizhou, Fengzhou, Dizhou, Shengzhou... Mianzhou and fifteen states to station in Fuzhou City."
"There are five thousand soldiers in each city, which adds up to more than 70,000 soldiers and horses, which is enough to make the Jin Kingdom have a lot of concerns and not dare to attack Fuzhou City rashly."
"I will send another letter to Fuzhou Governor Jia Youwei. He is an old acquaintance of mine. I will tell him how to deal with it."
"General Zhang, at this point, we can only win in a desperate situation!"
"This..." The hesitation on Zhang Kuang's face was very obvious: "May I ask how certain your lord is that the Kingdom of Jin will not hide an ambush to attack Fuzhou City?"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head with a heavy face: "There is no such thing as Chengdu. I am a human being, and the Confucian scholar in white is just a human being. If I can predict the enemy's opportunities at every turn and guess their every move, why should I take such desperate risks? Lead directly
A large army ambushes them and kills all the enemy forces of the two countries. Is that enough to relieve the danger in our northern border? The key point is that I don’t have that ability. I don’t have that ability, General Zhang!"
Zhang Kuang was silent. He had been stationed at the border all year round and could naturally understand Liu Mingzhi's current difficulties.
Facing 810,000 enemy troops, it is simply impossible to take care of them all. We can only put out the fire wherever there is fire!
Nodding silently, Zhang Kuang sighed with some sour eyes.
"That's all. In that case, let's resolve the crisis in Yunzhou first. Let's take a look at Fuzhou step by step!"
Liu Mingzhi let out a melancholy sigh, raised his hand and hugged Zhang Guang's shoulder and exerted a slight force.
"General Zhang, we have no other way to go now. Don't worry too much about Fuzhou. I stationed 300,000 troops and horses under my command at Mamingpo, Jinfengling, and Talu River respectively just to show up.
The power of the horn takes care of the cities on both sides of Yingzhou."
"If a major accident occurs in Fuzhou, Jinfengling's soldiers and horses can quickly come to Fuzhou's aid!"
Zhang Kuang was stunned, looking at Liu Mingzhi with a heavy face in surprise and exclaimed.
"What? Aren't you going to let your army in the middle retreat to defend the city?"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head gently: "We are all cavalry. The advantage of cavalry is charging. Defending the city is not our strong point. The skill they have practiced since they were soldiers is to charge into battle, not to garrison the city wall!"
"If we all evacuate to the city, let alone whether the city can accommodate so many soldiers, just the shelving of the war horses will be a problem."
"Now the second batch of grain and grass from the Ministry of Revenue has been shipped, and it can supply two months of consumption."
"Now that there is abundant pasture outside the city, our war horses can choose forage on the spot at any time. In this way, we can save a lot of food and fodder for our brothers."
"The most important thing is that if the war horse retreats to the city, it will become useless. I am willing to give it up, but my brothers will not agree."
"The war horse is their second life, and they will never be separated from their brothers."
"I plan to lead them to launch raids between Jeju and Yingzhou, and support the defense of your two cities from the side."
"No, I don't agree. Are you crazy? The Black Wolf Cavalry and Baibu Cavalry of the Jin Kingdom should not be underestimated. Once you are entangled by them outside the city, if the Turks suddenly turn around and kill you, you
I’m really alone and helpless.”
"I do not deny that the soldiers under your command are the best among the best, but facing several times your cavalry, your hope of victory is really slim."
"My lord, you are also someone who has fought against the cavalry of the two countries. They are not like the storyteller who made them into mud just to promote the bravery of our frontier troops!"
"If this is the case, why have we fought hard for hundreds of years without unifying the world?"
"Especially now that the Turks have become unified, it has become a trend. We should not underestimate it!"
Liu Mingzhi closed his eyes silently: "I know, I have never underestimated any enemy."
"But our 300,000 are all cavalry. We have no infantry to fight together, no archers to contain the enemy, and no sword and shield soldiers to coordinate the enemy!"
"We are archers, forwards, and assault infantry. We have no choice. We can only believe in the horses under our crotches, and we can only believe in the brothers around us!"
"Rather than dying in battle defending the city, we are more willing to die in battle on the charge!"
