If Li Zhang can return to the north, then Qin Feng's former brothers will be here.
But even so, Qin Feng's confidence has been high. Even in the face of the imperial army that has exhausted all its national power, Qin Feng is confident that he can win this battle.
As the head of the intelligence agency, Liu Ming is fulfilling his duties and reporting on the current situation on the battlefield.
"Reporting to the King of Qin, based on the information currently available, the garrison in Dingtao County has increased to 30,000 people."
"In addition, there are 50,000 people on their way to Dingtao County."
"Since the pressure on the southern border has been lifted, Daliang can now concentrate on dealing with the northern border, so the garrison troops in various places have also been mobilized."
"Conservative estimates suggest that the number of imperial troops deployed on the battlefield this time should be more than 120,000."
One hundred twenty thousand……
Hearing this number, even veterans such as Ning Hu and Zhao Zhenhai couldn't help but be shocked.
"so many people?!"
"In order to conquer the northern border, does the imperial court really have to devote all its national power?"
"When we fought Beidi, the total amount of troops invested by both sides was roughly this number. As a result, the imperial court alone has sent so many people."
"It seems that this battle will be long-lasting, tragic and anxious."
Seeing that Ning Hu and Zhao Zhenhai were discussing, Qin Feng lowered his hand and signaled that they should not pay too much attention.
Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Feng looked extremely relaxed, as if he didn't take the words "120,000" to heart at all.
"Are you panicking? Based on my understanding of Daliang's strength, there is nothing surprising even if we gather 180,000 people."
"After all, I have cleared all the obstacles for the court. The court can completely break the boat and make a desperate move."
"In terms of numbers, the imperial court did have an advantage, but after fighting so many battles, facts have proven time and again that the size of the army is important, but it is not that important."
"In the final analysis, there are three biggest shortcomings in the imperial army."
"The first is that it has short legs, the second is that it is too large and too bloated, and the third is that it lacks war experience."
After hearing the three points listed by Qin Feng, everyone fell into deep thought.
When Daliang faced Beidi, its biggest disadvantage was the lack of cavalry.
Because of the lack of cavalry, which in turn led to a lack of initiative, they did not dare to send troops deep into the territory of Beidi, so they could only be passively beaten.
It can be said that the biggest turning point after Qin Feng took over the war was the construction of cavalry.
And now the disadvantage of Daliang's lack of cavalry has not changed.
Daliang does have many war horses, but most of these war horses were bred and trained in the north. Now that they have broken up, Daliang has directly changed from a "rich horse" to a "poor horse".
As for the large army and bloated organization, Qin Feng also mentioned the pain point of Daliang.
If all these 120,000 people arrive on the battlefield, it will be an extremely terrifying test for logistics.
According to the ratio in the northern border, in an army of 10,000 people, there are actually only one to two thousand elite troops who are good at fighting. The remaining five thousand are servants, and the last three or four thousand are pure soldiers. Logistics force.
Under the same scale, the soldiers of the Daliang army accounted for more than 30%, and the servant army still had 50%, so the remaining logistics troops actually only had one or two thousand people.
We can fight, but the logistics have become extremely weak.
Moreover, these logistics troops have to move with the army. Once they arrive on the battlefield, all logistics support work can only rely on support from the rear.
The longer the battle line is, the longer the supply line will be, and the more unsustainable the logistics will be. Coupled with this huge scale.
I'm afraid that before the war begins, he will already be suffering from internal injuries.
The last point, and the most important point, is the true combat effectiveness of the imperial army.
Looking at the entire Daliang, there are actually only four parts of the troops that can fight.
They are the troops of the Northern Territory, the Southern Territory, the Forbidden Army and the Central Plains Imperial Party.
Now the southern border has been defeated, and although the Central Plains Imperial Party participated in the Southern Expedition, they suffered heavy casualties and were unable to recover in the short term.
The Forbidden Army is the most well-equipped, but it is also the force with the least actual combat experience.
Even if the Forbidden Army keeps rotating with the border areas to accumulate practical experience, it is a pity that the southern border does not accept the Forbidden Army, and Qin Feng does not allow the Forbidden Army to go to the northern border for training.
This has turned the Forbidden Army into a veritable embroidered pillow, which looks extremely intimidating, but in fact has average combat effectiveness.
It can be said that the most capable force in the entire Daliang is Qin Feng's northern army.
After thinking about this clearly, Ning Hu and others' fear of the number "120,000 people" disappeared instantly.
Ning Hu hugged his chest and laughed proudly: "Hahaha, it seems that I overestimated the imperial army."
"When the fight starts, they will know that the northern army can turn the tide. They conquered Beidi first and then attacked the southern border. They were all accomplished with real swords and guns."
"The imperial court will know how terrible the consequences of being an enemy of the North will be!"
Zhao Zhenhai also had high fighting spirit and said proudly: "Previously, I led the cavalry and destroyed the eastern garrison in Dingtao County overnight. This shows that the combat effectiveness of the imperial army is mediocre, not even as good as Beidi's troops."
"It doesn't matter whether it's 120,000 or 180,000. As long as they dare to come, let them come and never come back."
Seeing that the two generals under his command had already fired up their fighting spirit, Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction.
Although this is somewhat suspected of underestimating the enemy, it is not important because Qin Feng will naturally consider every detail.
With Qin Feng at the rear, Ning Hu and Zhao Zhenhai could just rush forward.
In order to defend the northern border and protect his family, Qin Feng no longer had any hesitation, and his eyes once again showed the determination of the past.
"Everyone thought that this war would be protracted, but I wanted to win it quickly."
"The core of the war has been exposed, which is logistics."
"As long as the logistics of the imperial army are defeated, the frontline army will be papery and can be broken with a poke."
"Use your strengths and avoid weaknesses. Send me an order to summon all the cavalry in the north. I want your majesty to know how big the gap is between the imperial court and the north."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Ning Hu's eyes widened in disbelief: "Brother Qin, what did you say? Call all the cavalry?"
"Is this battle too big?"
"Our cavalry in the north is now a very exaggerated number."
Of course Qin Feng knew that all the cavalry in the north now totaled more than 20,000 people.
This is 20,000 pure cavalry!
You know, many small and medium-sized countries may not have 20,000 troops in total.
Qin Feng didn't care so much. Didn't Emperor Liang intend to use his national power to overwhelm the northern border? Then Qin Feng will use his absolute superior military strength to push back and see whether the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind!
