It's seven or eight days' journey from Fuyan.
The ground shook and the forest trembled.
At a glance, even if there is a tiger here, you will be scared out of your wits.
Hundreds of thousands of people, escorted by hundreds of thousands of people, moved towards Fu Yan.
The baggage trains contained grain and grass, but more importantly, the baggage trains carried the wounded.
Most of these Shangguo's defeated troops had angry expressions on their faces. It was embarrassing. It was too embarrassing. An army of four to five million people was defeated by hundreds of thousands of Xiaguo's border troops.
When did Xia's army have such appalling combat effectiveness?
This battle was fought in a confused manner.
"Have arrangements been made for Li Lu and his family?"
Yang Gan asked Ran Jing next to him.
Ran Jing nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, hundreds of soldiers have been sent to send them back to Yuntong."
Yang Qian frowned, "There's something wrong with only a few hundred."
"Accompanying us are some of the rangers under Baili Shuang's command."
This explanation made Yang Qiancai breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Lu's family has many people, many dependents, and hundreds of soldiers, so he can't rest assured at all.
This SSS-level card is very precious to me. I have just conquered it, so I have to keep a close eye on it. Human nature is complex and fickle. Who knows what could happen to it. Read the book
But judging from the current situation, Li Lu had no excuse to rebel against him. More importantly, he didn't want him to see his mother country destroyed.
But in any war to destroy a country, one side will not end well, and almost all of them will be miserable. It's just about who is worse than the other.
Seeing Zhang Yumeng happily riding a horse and teasing Qingqing, Yang Gan's eyes were complicated, and he didn't know whether she would still be able to laugh after this battle.
Maybe it was because of the snow, and because Shang Guo's officialdom was really not that good, the eight or nine day journey ended up taking ten days.
Holding a telescope, the Great Plains has long been buried in snow. At a glance, it looks like a snowfield.
In the middle of the snowfield is a majestic and huge city, like a huge fortress in the snowfield, like a peaceful oasis in the desert, so dazzling.
And Yang Qian is here to destroy it today.
"How many more garrison troops are coming?"
Ran Jing cupped his hands and said, "In just one or two days, there is too much snow on the ground, making it difficult to march in many places!"
"Then, wait, guard the prisoners of war, and let them build a military camp for us. With so many people, let me finish the construction before reinforcements arrive."
"promise!"
Yang Qian now not only has 120,000 soldiers, but also has 50,000 troops garrisoned by Tang State and 5,000 Huben troops, and there are at least more than 170,000 soldiers.
It was enough to fight a strategic battle, but in the battle to destroy the country, Yang Qian really couldn't rest assured with such a small force.
In this way, hundreds of thousands of people began to get busy, and hundreds of thousands of people surrounded them. Ten thousand soldiers were also separated to guard against being attacked by those who came out.
Inside Fuyan City.
The king has recovered. When he stood on the city wall and saw the army in the distance, his face suddenly turned livid.
The faces of the queen and queen mother were also extremely ugly, but even at this time, they felt humiliated, but they didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
Everyone began to discuss continuously, sending people out of the city to deliver messages, and asking for help in various local cities.
Unfortunately, Ran Jing had already taken precautions and sent out a large number of scouts. Once he found someone leaving the city, he would lead many scouts to intercept them.
Not to mention whether they can catch up, if the messengers who don't even have stirrups can't outrun them, then these scouts can strangle their horses with noodles and then go home to plant potatoes.
Equipped with stirrups, a war horse can speed up very quickly, just like a car equipped with a nitrogen acceleration system, so that you can't even see the horse's tail.
Two days later, reinforcements finally arrived.
Yang Gan began to read through military affairs and record the important information he needed. A good memory is worse than a bad one.
With a pen, no matter how good your memory is, it is not as good as writing it down.
Records: Border army war mobilization.
Military order:
Only 30,000 troops were left to garrison at Yanggu Pass, and the rest of the front line was driven to join the army near Fuyan. They also needed to carry the maximum load of baggage.
There are only 10,000 troops stationed at Baihu Pass for support. The rest, like Yanggu Pass, are going to join the army near Fuyan, and they also need to bring as much baggage as possible.
Activate all warships in Wanghai County: send supplies to the nearest battlefield to assist the army and ensure logistics.
Statistics: Excluding the 30,000 troops stationed in thirty cities, Yang Gan has at least 230,000 people in his hands.
A few years ago, if someone said that 230,000 people wanted to destroy a large vassal state, it was undoubtedly a dream.
Not only the people of Shang, but also the people of Xia, Liao, and Xing, it seems that if they want to capture Fuyan, they will need at least 500,000 people.
The previous king of Shangguo once said in private, five hundred thousand? Dreaming? Without an army of millions, it would be impossible to defeat Fu Yan.
This is also the reason why Shangguo is a small but powerful country.
No matter how you fight, as long as Fuyan is not captured, there is still a chance to get the captured city back.
Yang Qian's army of 230,000 was a real 230,000, without any imaginary numbers, because there were more than 230,000 in the entire army, at least 250,000 upwards.
But there are still 20,000 people, but they are all kinds of military doctors, handymen and the like. The auxiliary soldiers are responsible for the logistics and the auxiliary soldiers can go into battle to kill the enemy. This is the result of good food.
Otherwise, a group of people who don’t have enough to eat and can’t eat well will still be porters? As much as we can pick, we might as well build a few more baggage trucks to make transportation more convenient.
When everything was arranged, Ran Jing took all the generals to the Chinese army's tent.
"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged!"
Yang Gan waved his hand and asked them to sit down. His hand was still transcribing a large amount of information on the table, as well as some marching experience and the dispatch of food and grass.
What is most important in a war is, of course, food and grass.
Yang Gan has been fighting for so many years, and he has already figured out the context of the war.
After writing everything down, I closed the notebook and relaxed.
Looking at Ran Jing, Zhu Hongfang, Gu Weiqi, Jing Huai, Zhu Hongfang and more than twenty generals whom he promoted, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.
Yang Gan looked at Ran Jing and nodded.
Ran Jing immediately understood and asked soldiers to protect the outside of the big tent, and no one was allowed to enter.
When some soldiers passed by the Chinese army's tent and saw a group of human tanks, they were frightened.
You know, the physiques and armors of the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army are already considered majestic and majestic.
But as for these soldiers, all they could see was a pair of eyes, and their physiques were somewhat burlier than those of the Xuanjia Army soldiers.
Especially the long spears in their hands. A discerning person will know at a glance that they are extremely heavy and large spears. It is no problem for ordinary soldiers to pick them up, but how long can they hold them? It’s time for a cup of tea!
Ran Jing pointed at the huge map and said loudly.
"Generals, you should know that the walls of Fuyan City are tall and tough, and cannot be damaged by ordinary swords, guns, swords and halberds. If we attack forcefully, we will pay very heavy consequences. Even if half of us die in battle, we may not be able to capture it."
Gu Weiqi frowned.
"Is it possible to use a catapult?"
Ran Jing shook his head.
"With Wengcheng, catapults may not be able to reach the opponent's inner city. If catapults are used forcefully, it will really destroy Fu Yan, and it will not do any good to me, Yuntong."
Gu Wei was silent.
Jing Huai wondered, "We have defeated Shang Guo's army and turned them into prisoners. Is it possible that Fu Yan still has soldiers guarding the city? Even if there are, they probably won't be many."
Ran Jing waved his hand, and the people from the Tianshou Division immediately handed each piece of information to all the generals.
When all the generals took a look, they all gasped. This intelligence ability had infiltrated the entire Shangguo scholar-bureaucrat class into a sieve.
Jinghuai is incredible
He said, "Is this true? The defenders only have 50,000 troops. How can they stop our 200,000-plus troops with only 50,000 troops?"
As the main combatant, Jinghuai has always been known for his offense. When it comes to sieges, he likes to cut through the mess quickly, when there are classic examples of battles coming out.
He understood one thing, there was no city in the world that could not be collapsed or destroyed with a catapult.
According to his temperament, he surrounded Fu Yan with catapults. If one hundred catapults were not enough, he would use two hundred. If two hundred were not enough, he would use five hundred. They would directly beat Fu Yan into pieces.
He thinks so, does Yang Qian know? Of course I know, but is this his fault? Not really.
Because he is just a general, he only needs to understand one point.
A ruler like Yang Qian is responsible for taking care of every aspect, so there are naturally countless more things to consider than just one point.
Ran Jing glanced at him dissatisfied.
"Jing Huai, be careful. Fifty thousand soldiers are indeed not many, but you haven't counted the palace guards, you haven't counted the people of Shangguo, and you haven't counted the men of Shangguo either?"
"If they know that we are going to destroy Shang Kingdom, then everyone in Fuyan will be defenders of the city, and we will face hundreds of thousands of defenders."
Jinghuai had no choice but to be patient and a little impatient. He destroyed Shangguo. This was a great achievement and a great honor. This can be written into the history books.
"General Ran, this won't work, that won't work either, so what should we do? Is it possible that we just stay here and don't leave? Watch them?"
Ran Jing took a deep breath. Considering his city and his dislike of the war, his eyes turned red and his whole body exuded excitement.
Glancing at Jing Huai, Ran Jing twitched the corners of his mouth with a sneer.
"Yes, just stay here and watch them."
Jing Huai was stunned for a moment and showed an expression that looked like he was eating shit.
"Ran, General Ran, I, I, I was joking!"
"Whoosh~~~~pop" sound.
A bronze wine baron hit Jing Huai's body, and the huge impact directly knocked him to the ground.
I saw Mr. Wu An in the main seat with a normal expression and said calmly.
"Jing Huai, you have been a little distracted lately. You dare to joke about the battle to destroy the country. Believe it or not, I will make it impossible for you to laugh in the future!"
Jing Huai struggled to get up, but suddenly found that he felt out of breath. He slowly stood up after more than ten seconds and looked at Wu Anjun with a horrified face.
