Everyone's worries that had just been put down were raised again.
Zhong Hua's words made everyone's hearts fall again.
"Now the surplus system forces are using the thick walls of Jiading City to defend with all their strength. The two sides have been fighting for more than a month."
The two sides are in a stalemate, but what are the casualties?
"The Hu people suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and our Song Dynasty suffered more than 3,000 casualties."
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. This battle was not as difficult as it seemed.
However, after all, the Song Dynasty did have fewer soldiers and horses, and the Song Dynasty did not have 20,000 security corps.
The number of Hu people was basically twice that of the Song Dynasty, and the key point was that the Hu cavalry had not yet been dispatched.
Alas, although the combat effectiveness of Kuimen's border army and Changzhou's Xiang army is not very good, they still have at least five thousand soldiers and horses in total.
It's a pity, it's a pity, everyone couldn't help but think this in their hearts.
Zhao Ping saw everyone's expressions and didn't know what they were thinking.
So he stood up and said: "War depends on elite soldiers, not quantity. In the Battle of Chibi in the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao had more than 800,000 troops, ten times that of Sun and Liu; in the Battle of Feishui, it was also more than 800,000 versus 80,000; before Emperor Taizong Li Shimin sent 3,500 men to attack Dou Jiande and Wang Shimin with 100,000 men. Although there were many soldiers, they all failed in the end."
The expressions on everyone's faces finally relaxed.
Zhao Ping nodded and continued: "Actually, if they come, things may be more chaotic. Which one will be the coach?"
Everyone was lost in thought. They only thought about fighting and had not considered such a long term.
Everyone thought for a while that the security team was a subordinate of the Changzhou regiment training envoy after all, and naturally it was headed by Wang Wencai.
Zhao Ping continued his analysis: "But the regimental trainer is a scholar, how can he direct the battle?"
Xi Xing suddenly said: "Yao Shi'an is a military general, he can command."
After all, Xi Xing is a literati, too bookish in temperament. They only look at the good side of each other and don't consider the bad side.
His statement was also supported by some military generals.
The most powerful ones must be mentioned, Zhao Ping said: "What if the Yao Shi'anmen, in order to preserve their strength, use the security team as cannon fodder and insist on their own members as the vanguard? What should we do?"
Everyone could not help but look pale. They only thought that there was strength in numbers, but they did not think of these serious consequences.
Xi Xing opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Zhao Ping knew his thoughts and must stop them completely.
So Zhao Ping said: "Maybe some people have thought that we don't have thunder and killing knives?"
He glanced at everyone, and sure enough, Xi Xing's eyes lit up.
Zhao Ping shook his head and continued: "We only have two thousand real soldiers and horses, and the rest are logistics."
Everyone nodded, and Zhao Ping continued: "Our thunderous Hu-killing Dao is a secret weapon. Not only the Hu people don't know about it, but also Yao Tongzhi and the Tuan Lian Envoy don't know about it."
Zhao Ping took a sip of tea and continued: "They thought that their weapons were similar to the previous Zhentian Lei. Therefore, these weapons were not mentioned above."
"We have two thousand soldiers and horses fighting against the barbarians. Even if we fight them all, it will not only be of no avail, but will expose these weapons and make Yao Tongzhi think of taking them for himself."
How can this be?
Xi Xing's eyes widened in disbelief. He wanted to open his mouth to refute Zhao Ping's idea, but Zhao Ping was the group leader after all.
His chest was up and down, and he obviously didn't believe Zhao Ping's statement.
This requires persuasion, and it may be more than just Xi Xing. Zhao Ping continued: "Because he is the coach and his team has fought hard. He found a reason to think that his team has lost the battle."
"As long as you fail to win the battle and fight everything, no one will speak for you."
Xi Xing fell into thinking, obviously not fully digesting what Zhao Ping said.
Zhao Ping continued: "Some people think that the regiment trainer will definitely speak for his family. This is impossible for you to think."
The power must be explained clearly, Zhao Ping continued: "The goal of the literati is to suppress the generals at all costs."
Everyone nodded, their expressions could not help but change.
Zhao Ping continued: "Although our security team is nominally under his control, in fact he has no control at all. All money and property are fully guaranteed by Zhaojiazhuang."
Everyone nodded together. This was also the source of the security team's confidence, and everyone was very proud of it.
"So this time he hopes to suppress the security group on the ship and gain complete control."
It is indeed possible, but it is just wishful thinking on your part.
"But this time the team training failed. In fact, we don't want to be controlled by him."
"Literary men are worse than military generals because they have no military knowledge at all."
"If Tongzhi Yao deliberately allowed the security team to die, then Tuan Lianzhi may have caused the security team to die unintentionally, because Tuan Lianzhi himself did not realize it."
"Even if they do something wrong, they can still avoid responsibility by doing bad things with good intentions, because civil servants are devolved or exiled and rarely beheaded."
Everyone, especially Xi Xing, couldn't help but be stunned.
"For the security team that is not under his control, he would like to have them fight against the barbarians."
"This is the urine of the literati of the Song Dynasty. This is how Yue Wengweng was killed."
"They also continue to use all means to discredit the security group and achieve certain people's goals."
"After their capital-guaranteed security team was wiped out, they gave the security team a reputation of defeat."
"The consequences are very serious. So serious that Yao Tongzhi, Wang Jia, Liu Xiancheng and others came together to carve up Zhaojiazhuang."
Everyone looked stunned, and they all raised their hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Young Master, we will learn from you together."
"So we can't count on the border troops and the Xiang troops, we can only hope on our own."
"In fact, without their involvement, we can fight the war completely on our own terms."
"Moreover, the way our security group fights is completely different from the border army and Xiang army, so we decided that it is most appropriate to command ourselves."
Everyone bowed their hands together and said yes.
After unifying the thoughts of the security team, let Zhonghua continue.
Zhong Hua coughed and continued to introduce the good feelings of the opponent's coach Wang Zhide:
"The fake general Wang Thief came from a traditional general family. He was exposed to wars and was exposed to all kinds of killings and conquests. He has been practicing riding and shooting since he was a child, and he has many outstanding qualities."
"When he was fourteen years old, with his father's consent, he was sent to the Supreme Capital to meet with Ogedai Puppet Khan. He was given the name 'Brother Tian' and ordered to accompany the Crown Prince. 'While serving the Crown Prince on hunting trips, his targets were all in vain.' Often praised.”
"When Wang Thief was seventeen years old, he followed his father to conquer Sichuan in the Song Dynasty. He fully demonstrated his bravery and talent on the battlefield."
"After Wang Shixian died of illness, although Wang Thief was the second son at the age of 21, he was outstanding in civil and military talents. He inherited his father's title and was ordered to inherit his father's title, wear a tiger talisman, and command all the armies under the jurisdiction of the General Commander's Mansion."
"In the fifth year of Chunhu, the Hu people launched another large-scale attack. The Wang bandits entered Sichuan again and took advantage of the opportunity to reach Zhongzhou (now Zhongxian County, Chongqing) and Fuzhou (now Fuling, Chongqing)."
"In the spring of the next year, Wokuotai died of illness, and his eldest son Guiyu ascended the throne. The Mongolian army postponed its attack on the Song Dynasty and retreated from some places."
"In the eighth year of Chunhu, Wang Zei was ordered to attack the Western Qiang. He commanded his troops to cross the desolate grassland in northern Sichuan and reached Songpan, where he drove back the Qiang people."
"In the past few years, he has experienced hundreds of battles. When attacking, he always rushes to the front, and when retreating, he personally cuts off the rear. He bravely takes the lead and becomes a very famous young general in the Hu army."
"In the eleventh year of Chunhu, after many efforts, the Yuzhi system reorganized Sichuan's defense and went straight to Hanzhong, which had been occupied by the barbarians for more than ten years, hoping to capture it in one fell swoop."
"Wang Dechen and the neighboring puppet troops rushed to the rescue day and night, and the Yuzhi envoys were forced to retreat because they could not perform for a long time. However, there are also legends that the Yuzhi envoys retreated after hearing his name."
Everyone could not help but secretly take a breath of air. Such a Hu general who became famous at a young age and experienced hundreds of battles was indeed difficult to defeat.
Moreover, this man was well known by the Hu princes and pseudo-Khans, and his loyalty to the Hu people could not be doubted.
After Zhonghua's introduction, Zhao Ping asked everyone present: "Do you have any opinions and suggestions on the Wang bandits? How to fight this war? Please don't hide your secrets. You are welcome to speak freely."
Wang Qiwan looked at the map, pondered for a while and said first: "Wang Thief was born in a family of generals. He was young and talented, and was highly appreciated by the upper class of the Hu people. He was brave in fighting, killing the enemy in front, and breaking off the enemy in the rear. It had a great impact on morale." .”
"It is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Thief is able to gain support and support from the barbarians. He is indeed a rare and powerful enemy."
His main message is to be cautious.
"My security team used to fight a civil war. Now it is the first time we are fighting against barbarians. We should be careful."
Yang Yun nodded, looked at the map after looking at Zhonghua, glanced at Zhao Ping, and said his opinion: "Sun Tzu said in the Art of War, use the right combination to win by surprise. If the remaining system is perfect, then our surprise soldiers will be Only Qisheng.”
"Only by taking advantage of surprise and making full use of the effects of our Thunder and Polu Swords, we may achieve unexpected results."
Li Hantie looked at the comparison of the strength of the two sides and said: "The situation in this battle is different from that of Erlangtan and Tonggushan. The Hu soldiers and horses are dozens of times more than ours. If you want to make a surprise attack, the cavalry is the most suitable."
After speaking, he congratulated Wang Qiwan, Chen Bo and He Shude.
Wang Qiwan hurriedly returned the courtesy and Chen Bo and He Shude couldn't help but smile bitterly. You also know that the enemy's and our forces are very different. Don't I know that?
The thousand cavalry rushed in, like buckets of water poured into a river. Although there were waves, they would soon calm down.
After all, the Hu people claim to have an army of 100,000, which is no joke.
Zhao Ping did not comment, but looked at the weather and said: "It's still early and it's time. Let's go out and have a look at the barbarian barracks to see what we can do."
The middle and upper management of the security group and the staff walked through the bushes and arrived about a mile outside the barbarian camp.
I saw that the barbarian camp stretched for five or six miles, with few horses and only shallow trenches.
The barbarians were so arrogant that they simply did not take Song Dynasty seriously.
They have a reason to be outrageous.
After all, the Song Dynasty basically has no horses now, not to mention that the main force in Sichuan has been surrounded by them.
But the Hu people are still more careful.
