Zhao Ming was listening silently.
But I saw a staff officer sighing helplessly.
"Sir, Chencang is now occupied. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Chencang. In order to wipe out the kidnapper bandits, we deployed most of the troops stationed in Chencang.
It is estimated that Li Shuiwa can quickly occupy Chencang in one day. It is believed that the two hundred security guards remaining in the city were unfortunately killed.
And that's not the most troublesome thing. Once Li Shuiwa gradually gained a foothold and forced people to join her, the team quickly expanded.
If he hooks up with our kidnapper again... the situation is not optimistic. "
The one who spoke was naturally none other than Staff Officer Qin.
As soon as he finished speaking, something could be heard in the room.
But soon a staff officer said in a deep voice, "Sir, Staff Officer Qin is right, let me tell you that Wang Youbang, the giant bandit in Qianyang County, seemed to be in charge of the overall situation.
In fact, Li Shuiwa was in charge of most matters.
Judging from his decisive choice to join Wang Youbang in the early stage, this person has a relatively keen grasp of the situation. Once this person really attacks us.
Even coordinating the large and small knife bandits and big bandits in the vicinity...that is even more unimaginable! "
The staff officer's words further heightened the seriousness of this matter.
Why does he, Song Zhe, need to suppress bandits?
Why go to such great lengths and even spend more than half a year to suppress the bandits? Isn't it because Guanzhong has now become a paradise for bandits.
Song Zhe is now the top leader in the entire Shaanxi Province, and he has many things to consider.
And his governing policy is to suppress bandits and provide disaster relief. When providing disaster relief, we should first help the people in the city, and when suppressing bandits, we should first suppress the big bandits.
A two-pronged approach, one to win over people's hearts, and the other to shake up the mountains and shake the tigers, the plan does not go wrong. If the giant bandit Guaizi can be completely pacified, the situation in Guanzhong will be greatly reversed by then.
Many knife bandits will restrain themselves, and it is not impossible for big bandits to surrender.
But once Li Shuiwa really lets him muddy the waters again, the number of bandits gathered may really be tens of thousands! even more!
After all, the land of Guanzhong is now full of bandits.
"How many men did Li Shuiwa have when he was stationed in Qianyang County? How many people would have to be invested if Chen Cang wanted to kill Li Shuiwa?"
Song Zhe closed his eyes, took a deep breath and asked lightly.
However, after a long time, no one responded. Song Zhe had to open his eyes, glance around, and pointed at Zhang Wei beside him.
"Chu Yu, tell me how many people you need!"
"this....."
Hearing this, Zhang Wei felt a little confused, rubbed his chin, and raised five fingers after thinking about it.
"At least five thousand are required! This is because Li Shuiwa is not yet stable. He has thousands of people entrenched in the city. If he wants to destroy him in one go, he will need several times the number of troops.
Completely crush him in one breath! "
Zhang Wei's words made several staff members in the room agree.
According to their deduction, it is almost the same number.
But obviously Song Zhe didn't think so and pointed at Staff Qin.
"Old Qin, tell me, how many people do you think we need?"
Staff Qin was even more embarrassed.
He frowned and said helplessly, "Sir, if it were me, I might not be as good as General Zhang. I think six thousand people are safer."
Hearing this, Song Zhe frowned even more.
"Too many, Chu Yu, three thousand people! Can you take down this Li Shuiwa with three thousand people?
Now we have made preparations to break open the city gate. Once we have too many manpower, if the kidnapper notices it and there are not enough manpower for him to break out of the siege, it will be difficult to catch this cunning old fox.
There can be no more than three thousand people! "
"With three thousand men... I can't guarantee that I will definitely win Li Shuiwa, but I am willing to give it a try! But I need to mobilize the main force and give me fifty cannons." Zhang Wei shook his head and began to bargain with Song Zhe.
"I can give you thirty artillery pieces at most. The main force can only give you a thousand and a half. The rest will be mixed with other troops. However, I can let you drive away some more military vehicles so that the brothers will not waste their energy on the road."
Song Zhe also shook his head. There are not many main troops now. When the city gate is broken, they will still be waiting for the main troops to take charge of the attack.
If the city is broken, the street fighting will be the most brutal. Facing a group of tough bandits, it will be a tough battle.
"five hundred!"
A sudden sound sounded in the silent command room. Everyone was stunned, and then their eyes fell on a young man in the corner.
Then bursts of low laughter sounded in the room, and all the staff members turned their heads and laughed.
It seemed like he was mocking, or maybe he was just being sarcastic and disdainful, as if he had heard some fantasy.
"Zhao Ming, right? I've heard of you. You're very powerful. You single-handedly pulled out three gun towers that even the main force couldn't pull out.
But the loss is not small, right? Your 3rd, 3rd and 3rd Battalions have suffered losses of more than 70%, and there has been a round of replenishment, right? "
The person speaking was General Zhang Wei. The majesty in him was no less than that of Song Zhe. It was all produced by real swords and guns on the battlefield. He stood there doing nothing and seemed to be filled with murderous intent.
"yes!"
Zhao Ming did not refute. Although most of the casualties were caused by Zhang Kai's troops, he would not have been able to do so smoothly without Zhang Kai's ability to attract firepower.
Zhang Kai, who was kneeling on the ground beside him, blushed with embarrassment and felt quite ashamed.
"Seventy percent battle damage... If the battle damage of any main force reaches this level, it is not impossible to pull out a few gun towers. It's just that we consider that they are elites and don't want our brothers to sacrifice in vain."
Zhang Wei said calmly, as if he was saying, what do you have the face to say to five hundred people like this?
The expression on Zhao Ming's face did not change at all, and he said in a deep voice, "The loss of 70% of the main force is due to the refusal of the superiors, but the loss of 70% of my troops does not matter!"
These words made several people look at each other.
Doesn't this mean that it doesn't matter if I die, let me try?
"What a young man, but how old are you? Have you ever married?" Song Zhe also spoke.
Hearing this, Zhao Ming also knew that everyone present was not optimistic about it.
This is normal. He was not in a hurry and continued, "Eighteen! Already married."
Everyone laughed softly again, and it was obvious why they were laughing.
The hair is still all grown, but it has just grown a little.
Song Zhe and Zhang Wei didn't smile, but their failure to smile was the biggest statement.
Zhao Ming looked at everyone calmly and simply held his fists as a courtesy.
"I, Zhao Mingke, issued a military order. Give me five hundred men, equipped with horses and swords, in five days! Take Chencang within five days!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and laughed even louder.
I even vaguely heard someone saying, "Do you want a knife or a gun? Are you going to fight bandits or join a gang?"
But Song Zhe thought of something and said seriously, "There is no joke in the army! Are you serious?"
"Three days! Take Chencang in three days!"
As Zhao Ming spoke, he raised his head and stared at Song Zhe, his eyes very calm and filled with determination.
call!
Song Zhe took a deep breath and said one word after a while, "Okay!"
"I will equip you with three hundred more people, eight hundred more people, horses and swords."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Liu Wu who was kneeling not far away.
"Liu Wu!"
"The humble position is here!"
"Whatever Zhao Ming wants, you must cooperate fully and make sure there is no mistake!"
"yes!"
