Chapter 752: The soldiers guarding the pass, An Shi resisted
"That one, if I use his words at this time, wouldn't it be too early!"
"Besides, that person is not An Tianwu. The two of us cannot be that person's master!" Gu Yeming also looked solemn.
"It's just! Mr. Huahua, if you don't care about Yu Qian at all and keep this nail here, I'm afraid it will become a hidden danger in the future!"
"Just let Ming Dao keep three thousand cavalry!" Li Shigong thought for a while and said.
"Although Ming Dao has no magic strategy, its victory lies in being cautious. It may not be possible to win a big victory with it, but it is also difficult to defeat. With Ming Dao, even if Yu Qian has the power to reach the sky, but he does not have enough troops, it will not matter.
"Gu Yeming also nodded.
Apart from that, it was Ming Dao's identity that reassured the two of them the most.
Mingdao, this person is from the Ming family.
Even if there is a change of dynasty, many aristocratic families can continue to survive. However, the Ming family has a special status. Once the dynasty really changes, they will most likely end up being exterminated. Even if a few are lucky enough to survive, their end will not be the same.
It will be better.
The remaining defeated soldiers in Yu Qian's hands were all infantry, but Li Shikai left three thousand cavalry for him to watch over Yu Qian. Ming Dao, who is famous for his caution, if something can happen again, then Ming Dao might as well just buy a piece.
Just hit him to death.
Moreover, after all, he is also one of the leaders of the Ming family, and Ming Dao's abilities are definitely online.
"That's right! Let Pingxi lead 7,000 soldiers and horses to guard the south slope! In this way, even if Yu Qian wants to move, it will be useless!" Li Shikai then added the order.
The most important reason why Yu Qian wants to hold on to Tongtai County is that Wangnanpo, thirty miles away from Tongtai County, is the junction of a troop carrier track and several troop carrier lines.
Everyone will pass by this place.
If Li Shikai's soldiers and horses want to maintain high mobility and high mobility of logistics, this position is a crucial position.
If the location of Tongtai County cannot be taken, it will be the most real threat to Li Shikai and his team's logistics.
Although there are other logistics channels, if you choose that way, it will be the oldest human transportation of grain. The consumption of this halfway and the manpower and material resources mobilized, coupled with the time required to transport grain, will eventually become geometric.
Multiple growth.
Before the great invention of the troop carrier appeared, the Apocalypse Continent at that time was a true melee of hundreds of tribes, conquests of hundreds of countries, and an army of 100,000, which required at least 200,000 to 300,000 farmers to ensure logistics.
But since the emergence of personnel carriers, although it is still necessary to recruit a certain number of farmers to perform auxiliary work during wartime, an army of 100,000 or 200,000 only needs to be equipped with 10,000 or 20,000 farmers as auxiliary workers.
In this way, it not only saves manpower and material resources when transporting grain and the consumption caused by this process, but also minimizes the impact on normal farming during wartime.
And it was the emergence of troop carriers that provided the foundation for Emperor Shenwu to establish the Dawu Dynasty.
……………………
There are not many garrison troops in Ningping and Ning'an. These two counties only have 5,000 garrison troops each.
To the south of Ningping and Ning'an is the river. Beyond the river is the territory of Henan Province. And they have already secured the Menwei Pass on the north side of Henan Province. Naturally, there is no need to station too many in these two counties.
of soldiers and horses.
Just when Li Shikai's troops were about to arrive in Ningping, the newly appointed Ningping County Governor Wang Anshi and Ningping Governor Su Hu finally received the news at the last moment.
Outside Tongtai County, a large number of enemy troops were mobilized, and it was certainly impossible for Yu Qian not to notice it.
However, although he could detect it, he could not send enough manpower to detect which direction Li Shikai's main force was moving!
But although Yu Qian can't mobilize so many people, the snare can!
Under the command of Yan Ruohai, the governor of Luowang Dacang, the demons and monsters in Luowang in Hebei Province were operating at full strength, and they finally noticed the clues that Li Shikai's army was dispatched.
"Old General Su, from now on, all manpower and material resources in Ningping County will be mobilized by the old general. I will fully cooperate!" After receiving the news that Li Shikai's army was coming, Wang Anshi immediately said
showed his attitude.
In terms of military affairs, he was indeed a layman, inferior to Su Hu, a veteran who had guarded the border for many years. At this time, only by delegating power to Su Hu in a timely manner could it be possible to defend this area.
Wang Anshi is a descendant of the Wang family. If he falls into the hands of his enemies, he will definitely end up dead.
"Okay! Governor Wang understands justice!"
"This general intends to open prisons in large numbers and indirectly gather serious prisoners from surrounding counties to arm them, in order to strengthen our army!"
Wang Anshi took the initiative to express his position, and Su Hu reciprocated. Before doing anything, he would at least inform the murderer, or even discuss it.
"Yes! Most of the criminals who are severely punished are brave people! If you can lure them with pardon, they can be used by our army!"
Wang Anshi also showed his execution ability and sent his deputies to execute the case immediately. After all, the prison matter was not within Su Hu's jurisdiction and could not be separated from his cooperation as a county guard.
And some of those severely sentenced prisoners, especially those on death row, are ruthless people who don't care about their lives.
In comparison, those petty theft offenders with light punishments are useless.
It is precisely because of this that since ancient times, whenever similar things happen, those who have been armed are those who have been severely punished. Only this group of people will be used as death squads at critical times, allowing them to win a glimmer of amnesty.
The chance of survival. And these people will often risk their lives in order to gain the slightest chance of survival.
"Prefect Wang, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the guard gate in the south. Should we ask General Feng for help?" Su Hu said with some uncertainty.
After all, Weiguan's soldiers and horses can arrive after crossing the river, which is much more convenient than Han Xin's soldiers and horses. With strong reinforcements on the side, Su Hu will naturally be tempted.
"No! Never!" Wang Anshi said decisively without even thinking.
From a military point of view, it is not a problem to mobilize this army. If this army comes, even if it is only part of it, they can definitely support the arrival of Han Xin's reinforcements.
However, the military is only a continuation of politics and serves politics.
From a political point of view, mobilizing this army is the most stupid thing to do!
In fact, Guan Zhong's entire Ping Cang Ce was in danger of collapsing midway.
