After Song Qing left, Liu Mingzhi said something to Zhang Kuang that all the generals, Keyan and others, except Zhang Kuang himself, heard in confusion.
What Liu was so bold and what turned defeat into victory made Ke Yan and the others a little curious. Could it be that King Bingjian still had some extraordinary weapons in his hands?
They deliberately opened their mouths to ask questions and resolve their doubts, but seeing the presence of their old master, the few of them had no choice but to suppress their doubts and wait silently.
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 more sophisticated things like the branches, branches, and leaves of big trees.
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 an immutable rule, and there are many uncertain factors involved.
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 mother Liu, Mrs. 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: "Fuzhou Yong'an Hou Nangong Ye still has 50,000 elite flying eagle guards who can be mobilized. This time the Jin Kingdom's attack direction focuses on our Yingzhou. With Jeju and Fuzhou to the west, the 50,000 Flying 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 such thing as an 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 the more than 20 hinterland 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 survive in danger!"
"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? Directly lead the army The army ambushed them and killed all the enemy forces of the two countries. Isn't it 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 one step at a time!"
Liu Mingzhi sighed melancholy, raised his hand and put his arm around Zhang Kuang's shoulder and exerted slight pressure.
"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 in order to show up. The power of the horns takes care of the cities on both sides of Yingzhou."
"If major changes occur in Fuzhou, Jinfengling's troops 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 the cavalry is charging. Defending the city is not our strength. 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's not talk about whether the city can accommodate so many soldiers. Just shelving the 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 food and grass on the spot at any time. In this way, a lot of food and grass can be saved for the 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. 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.”
"I don't 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 cooperate with us, no archers to contain the enemy's army, and no sword and shield soldiers to coordinate the enemy's army!"
"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 die defending the city, we would rather die on the way to the charge!"
