The less experienced soldiers are in actual combat, the easier it is for their morale to collapse, leading to them disbanding.
If you want to eliminate 10,000 pigs, you have to kill them one by one. But if you want to defeat 10,000 new recruits, you only need to break their morale, and the rest will flee in a swarm.
Of course Liu Ming understands the reason, but no matter what, this is still an army of 10,000.
Once Qin Feng cannot withstand the pressure, the advantage of the southern troops will be like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and finally crush Qin Feng to death.
"General Sun, I know you deliberately spoke so easily to reassure me."
"Although I rarely go to the battlefield, I have been with King Qin for so long, and I have learned countless military knowledge even though I have been exposed to it."
"The real role of this 10,000-strong army is not to directly defeat the King of Qin, but to generate military pressure."
"When the southern troops learn that 10,000 reinforcements are coming, their morale will naturally be boosted, while the soldiers under King Qin will become desperate."
"The greater the difference in morale between the two sides, the faster King Qin will lose."
After hearing Liu Ming's analysis, the smile on Sun Bo's face disappeared instantly. He did not expect Liu Ming, the spy chief, to be so knowledgeable about military affairs.
Yes, Sun Bo's remarks were meant to appease people's hearts.
Both sides are losing their minds, but Gusu City can still send 10,000 troops. This is just adding insult to injury for Qin Feng.
However, Sun Bo had no way to defeat the 10,000 enemy troops. In order to avoid the morale of the army being shaken, he deliberately belittled these new soldiers.
Now that Liu Ming had broken through this layer of window paper, Sun Bo stopped covering it up and immediately let out a long sigh.
"The difficulty now is that our main army is exhausted and unable to support the eastern front. We can only watch these 10,000 enemy troops heading to the battlefield."
"Right now, not to mention the Central Plains and the North, even the nearest Lingzhou cannot send troops to support in time."
"There is no choice but to resign myself to fate."
If these words were spoken by others, Liu Ming, as the supervisor of the army, could directly accuse the other party of "shaking the morale of the army".
But Sun Bo is the general after all and has a thorough understanding of the entire battlefield situation. Even he said this, which shows that this battle has indeed reached a desperate situation.
At the end of the day, any stratagem or stratagem is meaningless now.
The only way to reverse the situation is to seek help.
But the question is, where can I go for help now? The water far away in the Central Plains and the North could not quench the thirst nearby, and it would take at least two days for the Lingzhou garrison to arrive.
There are four thousand garrison troops on the west front of Gusu City. The problem is that these four thousand garrison rely on the mountains to block the west side of Gusu City. They cannot be mobilized at all. Otherwise, it is no different from self-defeating martial arts.
As for the cavalry operating in the south of Gusu City, they are even more responsible for cutting off contact, harassing and blocking reinforcements, but they are also incapable of doing the same thing.
No matter how good Liu Ming is in calculating, he is still unable to think of any other troops that can be put into battle at this time.
Just when Liu Ming and Sun Bo were depressed for a time, the messenger suddenly rushed into the camp.
"General! A distinguished guest is coming to our door!"
Distinguished guest? !
Sun Bo and Liu Ming looked at each other, both confused. Who would come to the front line at this time? And he is also a so-called distinguished guest...
Liu Ming scolded him bluntly: "What kind of distinguished guest! If he is an insignificant person, he will be kicked away directly. Now he comes to the front line, which is obviously causing trouble!"
The messenger quickly explained: "The person here is... the eldest lady Shen Qingci."
What? !
Liu Ming was stunned, stood up quickly, and exclaimed: "Why is the eldest lady here?"
"If you don't come sooner, you won't come later. It just happens to be this time. It's too dangerous here. If King Qin finds out, he will be distracted."
"Send troops quickly to escort the eldest lady from the front line and take refuge in Lingzhou."
Sun Bo was also shocked. He knew very well the importance of Shen Qingci to Qin Feng. If something happened to Shen Qingci, the battle would not have to continue.
Facing Liu Ming's order, the ordering soldier shook his head repeatedly, his tone both nervous and excited.
"Master Liu doesn't know something. The eldest lady is not alone, but is escorted by a large team of people."
A large group of people?
Liu Ming frowned: "How many people are there?"
Because the entire front line was in a mess, with soldiers everywhere and the wind roaring, the Jin Yiwei who had been moving around were also restricted.
In addition, all attention was focused on Gusu City, so Liu Ming knew very little about the situation at the rear.
The messenger quickly replied: "Five hundred Tianji camp guards and a thousand servants."
After hearing this news, Liu Ming's mouth gradually grew larger, and his eyes were full of disbelief: "How could the eldest lady bring so many people, and... there are five hundred Tianji camp guards?!"
You know, if it were just 500 Tianji Camp guards, their impact on the battlefield would be almost negligible. After all, the Tianji Camp guards could not stand a tough fight.
What really excited Liu Ming was the army of one thousand servants.
Having servants accompanying them means that these 500 Tianji battalion guards all carry heavy armor. In other words, this is equivalent to a reinforced heavy armor battalion!
According to the messenger, Shen Qingci suddenly came to the front line because of Liu Hongyan, Xie Yun'er and the three daughters of Princess Qiyang.
These three aunts secretly ran out of Kyoto and came to the front line to join Qin Feng. So far there is no news.
Li Xiaolan and Jing Qianying were really worried, so they asked Shen Qingci to come to the front line to retrieve the three girls.
Qin Tianhu knew that there was always a war on the front line. In order to prevent Shen Qingci from encountering danger along the way, and to help Qin Feng, he dispatched this unit to escort Shen Qingci all the way south.
After learning the ins and outs, Liu Ming and Sun Bo suddenly became excited.
Sun Bo stamped his feet happily: "Hahaha, great! I am worried that I have no soldiers to use. Now that this army is on the battlefield, it will definitely relieve the huge pressure on King Qin."
Liu Ming no longer hesitated and immediately ordered: "Invite the eldest lady over quickly!"
Not long after, Shen Qingci appeared in the camp, escorted by a group of soldiers from three levels inside and three outside.
Liu Ming directly cupped his fists and saluted: "Chief Jin Yiwei, pay your respects to the eldest lady!"
Shen Qingci already knew that the front line had gone through two days and one night of fierce fighting. Without any courtesy, he asked directly: "Where is Feng'er!"
Nowadays, Shen Qingci has gradually acquired the authority of the head of the Qin family. Shen Qingci has almost all the decisions, big and small.
Liu Ming knew that he couldn't hide it from Shen Qingci, so he told everything that happened on the Eastern Front.
Knowing that Qin Feng had experienced two days and one night of danger, Shen Qingci's face became even colder to cover up the panic in his heart.
"Liu Ming, all the fifteen hundred people I brought will be handed over to you. You must help Feng'er win this battle!"
