However, when the Dalai assumed a defensive posture and prepared for a military confrontation with the Tiger and Leopard Army, the disappointed expression of the defender’s face was directly covered by sneer.
Looking at his side, he said sarcastically, "Huang Taiji’s reaction speed is still quite fast. If he can’t beat our horse, it will become a defense …"
Compared with the ridicule and sneer of Weizheng’s face, Wang Feng’s face once again reveals a heartfelt expression of concern
Without the slightest hesitation, I woke up to Wei Zheng and said, "Guard, it seems that Tartar defense is more difficult than attack …"
"The Tatars may have seen that we were taking precautions against the prisoners in their hands. We shelled and directly dispersed some Han Chinese people into their army, making these people their amulets and making us afraid to fire at them."
"Plus, they will block the thousands of people in front of us to avoid accidental injury. If we are equipped with muskets and artillery, it will become a decoration. If we want to attack the Tiger and Leopard Army and destroy them, we still can’t avoid fighting with the Tatars at close range?"
Wei Zheng shook his head and asked Wang Feng with interest. "Who told you that General Wang wanted to attack the Tatars and destroy them here?"
In the face of this rhetorical question, Wang Feng’s face worries are directly covered by doubts
Without thinking, I asked the Wei Zheng consciousness, "What do you mean, Marshal?"
Wei Zheng opened his mouth and explained, "You just analyzed the situation of avoiding accidental injury. There is no way for it to defeat them except to fight them at close range."
"In that case, why don’t you know the situation and make fun of the lives of the soldiers?"
"Handsome idea is very simple. Since there is no way to defeat these tartars in a short time, we will fight with them here …"
Wang Feng eyes a bright hurriedly answer "guard I know what you mean … we are backed by more than ten million people in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, plus we just got a bumper harvest in Shanxi, and we can get a steady supply of food. Even if we fight here for half a year than a year, there is no problem."
"But it’s not the case in the late Jin Dynasty … Although the late Jin Dynasty has begun to shift from nomadism to farming, their population is very limited after all, which leads to a small number of standing troops in the whole late Jin Dynasty, while the soldiers and civilians in wartime are scattered around the late Jin Dynasty to engage in production …"
"At present, there are more than 40,000 people in this post-8 Jin J. According to the rules of post-8 Jin J., less than 10,000 of these 40,000 people are standing armies of post-8 Jin J., that is, they do not need to engage in production and directly feed the army by post-8 Jin J."
"Now, if the butch army doesn’t retreat for one day, there will be no way to withdraw the Xu Jin Guo after forty thousand, which means that the number of Xu Jin Guo who needs to support the army will increase directly from ten thousand to forty thousand, and it will be sixty thousand people without twenty thousand as meat shields …"
"This number is not strong for the national strength, and it is definitely an unprecedented pressure for Xu Jin Guo to rely on looting to survive various disasters …"
"If we really intend to fight with the late Jin Tatars here, unless the late Jin Tatars reduce their military confrontation forces with us, it must be the late Jin Tatars who can’t bear the pressure and collapse first …"
Weizheng nodded his head and affirmed, "Now that it’s white, do it … Shuai ordered all divisions to camp on the spot to build a camp. Wang Junchang was responsible for the whole camp construction and arranged to alert the troops to guard against the attack of the late fighters every day …"
In the attack, 30,000 troops and 10,000 Han slaves served as meat shields for more than half an hour. Without even touching the tiger and leopard army, they lost 2,000 musketeers, more than 3,000 elite cavalry and 10,000 Han slaves served as meat shields, but they didn’t even hurt their fur. In addition to consuming tens of millions of flowering bombs, the tiger and leopard army did not lose a single force.
In the face of this, people were very wronged at first sight, and they were so angry that they vented their anger and killed several Han slaves without regard to their faces before slowly calming their anger.
However, the old rival Wei Zheng doesn’t seem to intend to let him just relax.
A few bodies in front of Huang taiji had just been dragged away and hurried to Huang taiji’s ear.
Then an armored general hurried to the front of Huang Taiji and knelt down on one leg and reported, "I have seen Khan … Khan and we have a military confrontation. The butch army has given up the idea of attacking us as expected and started to retreat … but …"
Huang taiji frowned and asked, "But what?"
Huang Taiji’s clever eyes looked at General Tatar and quickly replied, "Although the Great Khan Tiger and Leopard Army began to retreat, they did not withdraw from the battlefield but built a barracks about four miles away from us … Judging from the battlefield situation, the slave guessed that the Tiger and Leopard Army seemed to be planning to engage in a long-term military confrontation with us and fight a war of attrition with us."
"The war of attrition is a long war of attrition …" Hearing these words, Huang Taiji’s face became gloomy again.
Chapter five hundred and sixty-one No food
What Huang Taiji needs to care about is not the war that has just begun, but the future of the whole post-Xu Jin Guo.
It can be said that although Huang Taiji is here, Huang Taiji’s heart is filled with the whole post-Xu Jin Guo.
Just one day ago, Fan Wencheng, who helped him manage Daikin Administration, has brought himself a very unfavorable news.
After a horse-riding nation, the traditional way of fighting is to fight and support the war.
However, this attack on Liaodong did not achieve the goal of maintaining the war.
Because it was plundered by the late Jin Dynasty for a long time and it was too short for the Tiger and Leopard Army to take over Liaodong, the Liaodong Peninsula in Nuoda had nothing to rob except that the Tiger and Leopard Army plundered a large number of cattle and sheep from the late Jin Dynasty.
In addition, after the attack in Liaodong, Huang Taiji was fully deployed, almost 50,000 soldiers of Xu Jin Guo worked hard to plunder from Liaodong to limited food roots, which could not meet the long-term consumption of so many soldiers and the same number of war horses.
According to Fan Wencheng’s report, most of his entire trip from Liaodong looting to limited food has been consumed in a month-long battle.
If it hadn’t been for the slaughter of ten thousand cattle and sheep, the limited food might have been exhausted.
More importantly, the surplus grain brought back from Liaodong can only last for a month even with a certain amount of beef and mutton, which sometimes means that the post-Xu Jin State must end the fighting in a month, otherwise tens of thousands of troops around it will fall into a dangerous situation of food and unstable morale.
Some people may say that even if the food from Liaodong is eaten up, Huang Taiji can transfer food and grass from the post-Xu Jin State rather than sending cattle and sheep directly to the battlefield for the soldiers to make.
But there is a good saying, that is, if you don’t take charge, you don’t know that rice, oil and salt are expensive.
Just a few months after winter has always been the weakest time for the post-Xu Jin State.
Due to the cold winter, a large number of Tatar-resistant cattle and sheep will freeze to death in the whole post-Jin kingdom. In addition, this time is also a time when crops are green and yellow, and many people in the post-Jin kingdom will freeze to death and starve to death every year at this time.
Of course, most of these people who were frozen to death and starved to death were Han slaves in the hands of the Tatars.
This leads to a phenomenon, including that all nomadic people in the post-Jin Dynasty attack the Central Plains just after winter every year, and make up for their losses throughout the winter by plundering the wealth of the Han people in the Central Plains.
At present, Huang taiji also ignored him, otherwise he wouldn’t attack Liaodong. He made a plan to send a partial division directly into Dabei Zhili to plunder wealth from Han people and increase the strength of Xu Jin Guo.
After almost all the people are soldiers, although Xu Jin has strong military strength, its real national strength is just the opposite of military strength
Even if Huang taiji raised grain, grass, cattle and sheep to support the battlefield, he could maintain tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at most in less than a year.
However, once this kind of thing happens, there will be no national strength, and the gold will definitely become weaker. Without four or five years, the roots can’t be restored, except that after the gold kingdom really comes to life and death, Huang Taiji will never give the national strength a weak one, and after the gold bloodletting, the pressure on the gold kingdom will be further increased.
Facing the report of the Ministry, I thought that Fan Wencheng had to wake up to himself yesterday with a gloomy face. Huang Taiji couldn’t help but open his mouth and scold "Tiger and Leopard Army is too cunning. They must have seen that our logistics pressure is too great to put on a long-term confrontation with us and fight a war of attrition with us …"
Fan Wencheng replied with a face of approval, "Khan is right, slave. We must do it quickly, even if we can’t do it quickly, we must end the battle in one month."
Huang Taiji is very aware of the hidden meaning behind this awakening. Fan Wencheng’s voice rang again as soon as Huang Taiji’s voice fell. "Khan’s military order is that from now on, we will continue to harass and attack the Tiger and Leopard Army, and we must force the Tiger and Leopard Army to end the battle in one month."
Ten days passed in an instant.
During this period, after having the advantage of cavalry, Jin Dalai directly launched no less than 100 exploratory attacks on the military camp of Tiger and Leopard Army, including several large-scale attacks mixed with Han slaves.
But to Huang Taiji’s disappointment, these attacks not only failed to achieve much success, but also caused him to lose thousands of soldiers again.
More importantly, in several large-scale attacks by Li Han slaves, the Tiger and Leopard Army directly exploded guns and shells, telling Huang Taiji that if the Tiger and Leopard Army was forced to defend itself, the Tiger and Leopard Army would also shoot at the Han slaves in their hands and let them lose their human shields.
Of course, the battlefield defeat in all the news is not the most worrying thing for Huang Taiji.
Fan Wencheng, a strategist, rarely hurried into the tent with a smile when Huang Taiji was lost in thought on the map again.
After seeing Huang Taiji, he directly spoke and reported that "Khan slave thought of a way to help Khan solve food for almost a month …"
Huang taiji’s eyes lit up and he asked, "It’s not long in a month, but it’s better to talk than to tell the sweat quickly. What can make tens of thousands of soldiers not hungry for a month?"
"Horse …" Fan Wencheng answered without thinking.
"Slaves have unified an entire military camp with more than 2,000 wounded war horses, plus 5,000 killed war horses with consignments. If we kill these horses and make them into dried meat, we can definitely make the warriors hold on for one more month. Sometimes the longer we hold on here, the better the chance to end the battle quickly."
Huang taiji did not hesitate to reach the military order to kill the horse.
However, raising food and ending the fighting quickly is the best way to solve this problem.
After the Fan Wencheng report was finished, Huang Taiji shifted the topic to how to solve the problem of fighting quickly.
Facing Huang Taiji’s expectation, Fan Wencheng had to crustily skin of head and said, "Khan, judging from more than ten days’ attack, our opponents seem to have clung to the idea of a long-term confrontation with us, otherwise they wouldn’t always stick to the camp and talk about how we attack. They all defend themselves and don’t fight back …"
When I heard that, Huang Taiji directly said with a full face of dissatisfaction, "You made it clear that the sweat is now the solution, not your analysis of the current situation …"
Fan Wencheng, if there is a way, Fan Wencheng’s sincerity to Huang Taiji will not wait until now
Fan Wencheng, who was watched by Huang Taiji, replied with a full face of nai, "Is there no good way for a sweaty slave?"
After a word, Fan Wencheng can clearly see that Huang Taiji’s face directly changed from full of expectations to despair.
In this case, don’t let Huang Taiji lose heart. Fan Wencheng continued to bite the bullet and said, "But I don’t know if I should say an idea here."
Without thinking, Huang Taiji replied, "What can’t be said when the post-Jin Dynasty is in a critical moment of life and death …"
Huang Taiji agreed with Fan Wencheng’s amazing answer, "Sweat slave is our opponent, Tiger and Leopard Army commander Wei Zheng, who is a very powerful commander. He is not only a thoughtful person with many unexpected visions and strategies, but also a thoughtful person. Otherwise, we will do everything possible and he will be able to beat us back again and again in the ten-day attack."
Hearing this, Huang taiji’s face despair not only did not relieve, but once again showed a trace of anger.
To Fan Wencheng a face of murderous look asks as if Fan Wencheng cut off his head if he couldn’t answer a word well.
