In the ensuing camp raid in the wild, the siege equipment was obviously of no use, and all of them were left in Xiyuan City. In addition, Liu Meng also stayed in Xiyuan City to recuperate because of his injuries. Luo Ji After gathering 3,000 troops and adding another good general, they set off on the same day.
During the expedition, reasonable control of the marching speed is the key. If you blindly pursue speed, you will have no energy to fight when you reach the place. This is obviously putting the cart before the horse. Luo Ji has always grasped this measure very well.
At the same time, a few days ago, the two brothers Guo Jia and Guo Zhen, who were returning to Mingjing City, also received Luo Ji's second military order in a short period of time after a long absence. The message was sent half a month ago, telling them to return to Mirror City to help defend against the next invasion of outsiders.
It's just that they were too busy to go to battle some time ago, but they accidentally ran too far. Coupled with the increase in the number of soldiers under their hands, their marching speed was greatly slowed down, and it was really too late to go back in a short time. On the way, the second military order was quickly delivered to them.
"How to say?" Standing in the tent, Guo Zhen crossed his arms and looked at Guo Jia sitting there with a slight frown. Although Luo Cheng on the side didn't speak, it was obvious from the expression on his brows. It can be seen that he is very concerned about the content of this second military order.
Sensing the sight of the two, Guo Jia put down the military order he had just sent, "The outsiders who invaded this time seem to be unexpectedly difficult, with six bed crossbows and 5,000 troops, and within half a day they forcibly Breaking through Xiyuan City"
"Five thousand soldiers?!" Hearing this number, both Guo Zhen and Luo Cheng exclaimed, and the expression on Luo Cheng's face was directly filled with undisguised shock, "And it's been a long time Forcibly breached Xiyuan City? How is this possible?!"
"Luo Cheng, tell me, what's the situation in Xiyuan City?" Guo Jia asked seriously after hearing this. After all, he and Guo Zhen have been fighting outside all year round, so it is naturally impossible to know the situation in Xiyuan City.
Luo Cheng himself left at that time. He had seen the scale and walls of Xiyuan City before, so he was so shocked after hearing the news that Xiyuan City had been breached.
Taking a deep breath, after calming down his emotions, Luo Cheng quickly spread out a map, and then circled the map in front of him with his fingers, "Xiyuan City is in this position, it can be regarded as the Mirror City The first line of defense to the west of the territory, and at the same time, the territory of this entire area has been connected together"
While speaking, Luo Cheng seriously talked about the changes in the layout of Mingjing City, and Guo Jia, who was sitting there, was filled with brilliance. He still can't imagine how their leader can do so in such a large-scale handwriting. To achieve this point in time? It's unbelievable. It can only be said that he really deserves to be the leader. This is something he can never do.
But at the same time, it was precisely because he knew the scale and defense level of Xiyuan City that his face became more serious.
"So Xiyuan City will be breached within half a day, which is simply unbelievable!"
"It should be the general who defended the city was careless." After thinking for a while, Guo Jia said such a sentence.
"main idea?"
"Under the leadership of the leader, we have won consecutive battles and become an almost invincible army. After accumulating so many victories, it is inevitable that we occasionally become careless and underestimate the enemy?" Guo Jia asked calmly. One sentence, and at the same time, he did not forget to glance at Guo Zhen.
"Ahem!" Sensing Guo Jia's gaze, Guo Zhen, the eldest brother, coughed twice in embarrassment. Just a month ago, when he was attacking a tribe, he took two arrows because he underestimated the enemy. Because of this matter, his younger brother didn't give him a good face for half a month, and from time to time he would use this matter to scold him twice, which made him, the big brother, more and more unable to lift himself up in front of his younger brother Let's start, Guo Jia was not like this before, he was definitely brought down by the leader!
Looking at Guo Zhen's guilty and embarrassed look, Guo Jia was speechless, and he didn't criticize his interest anymore. After half a month, his anger had almost dissipated, and his eyes fell on Luo Cheng again. "Besides, didn't you also say that under the fast-paced situation, it doesn't even take half a day for the cavalry troops from Mingjing City to support Xiyuan City. With this guarantee, if it were me, I would feel at ease Relax."
Luo Cheng couldn't refute what Guo Jia said, because it was true, "So, Sun He was breached by outsiders in half a day because of his carelessness?"
"Nine times out of ten, it is estimated that when he realized the overwhelming strength of the opponent, he wanted to do something more.It's too late. "
"In this way, outsiders occupy Xiyuan City, and with the advantage of the city wall, wouldn't the leader have to fight a siege?!"
"The siege battle is not enough evidence. With the three-bow bed crossbow, a siege weapon, I really don't know which city wall can stop it." At this point, Guo Jia's voice paused, and he took a sip of water. After that, he spoke again, "So, the focus is on the next battle, Luo Cheng, before you came, how many troops were there in Mingjing City?"
"It's really hard to say." Hearing this, Luo Cheng also thought about it carefully, "If I remember correctly, after the previous battle, Mingjing City received 40% of the surrendered troops. If you count those For surrendering troops, the strength of Mingjing City should be around 4,000, but those are only surrendering troops after all, in terms of combat power, I am afraid"
The atmosphere in the camp suddenly became a bit dignified. Guo Jia and the others couldn't be more clear about the strength of the surrendered soldiers who had just been captured. After all, at least half of the troops in their hands were composed of surrendered soldiers. After a tribe, the population is sent back to Mirror City, and the soldiers who surrendered are directly thrown into the army to replenish their strength, and then go to attack the next tribe. This is their current practice, so in this regard, they can be said to be experienced.
Leaving aside the issue of personal combat power, there are three very troublesome problems in surrendering troops
The first problem is that there is basically no tacit understanding with the original troops, and it is difficult to cover and attack each other in battle
The second question is that the morale of these surrendered soldiers is low. It's fine if it's difficult to fully display their own combat power, and it may affect the morale of other soldiers.
The third problem is that the loyalty of these surrendered soldiers is often not high due to the fact that they have just surrendered, and it is easy to have a few deserters, which is quite a headache.
Combining various reasons, it is urgent to lead troops to Xiyuan City for support. However, just a few days later, members of the reconnaissance team handed over the third military order to him.
"The army of outsiders has withdrawn from Xiyuan City. We changed our marching route and went directly to the battlefield!"
