The opening and Xu Xiao's front

Chapter 41

"Are you sure this is the army used to suppress bandits?" Zhang Yicai asked in pain as he stood in front of a group of square troops.

"That's right, is there any problem?" The leaders of the two teams said together,
"What's the problem? It's a big problem." Zhang Yicai complained in his heart.
The army in front of me has sharp armor, a good mental state, high morale, and an indestructible will. The scars on the body can even see the traces of scars and bloody battles.

But, right now, isn't this army a bit old to join the army?Zhang Yicai glanced at the ones with gray hair, who only accounted for about one-tenth of this army. The biggest problem with this army is age.

You must know that fighting on the battlefield, in addition to the morale of armor and weapons, age and endurance are also extremely important factors. Veterans are a treasure, but only for young veterans. Of course, it does not mean that old veterans are not important, but compared to battlefield , using them to train the army is the best destination,

They are no longer young,
"Chen Li!" Did Zhang Yicai not understand what was going on?I can only find someone who understands and ask, and Chen Li, one of the leaders in front, is a very good candidate.
By the way, Chen Li is the unlucky guy who was the first one to invite him at the gate of the palace and was blocked by many people. Chen Li is also the head of the current Chen family, the son of Chen Pao,

"What's the matter? Is there any problem with the general?" Hearing Zhang Yicai calling him, Chen Li ran over quickly. He thought that Zhang Yicai only called him and not the big fool next to him because he valued him.

Zhang Yicai put his arm around Chen Li's neck before he could react, and gestured backwards, and the rest of the people started to practice. He has to ask, what's going on?

"I remember that when I left, there were still 20 to [-] defenders in Dahuang City. Countless people in the city rushed to join the army and signed up. Why has [-] years passed? The number of troops has not increased but decreased? I need an explanation"

When Chen Li heard about this matter, he was a little disappointed. He thought that there was some important matter to be entrusted to him, but since Zhang Yicai asked him, he could only tell the truth. He wanted to keep it a secret for a while.

"General, you haven't been back for 20 years. You probably don't know much about the situation in Dahuang City or Dachu. The battle back then was much worse than you imagined.

Back then when Xu Xiao attacked the city from all directions, except for your side, it was basically the same as being destroyed.
Your lieutenant Xiang Jin, General Xiang, lived with the city gate, the side my father was guarding was also broken, and the banner was cut off, not to mention the other side,

Of the 1 to 3000 defenders, only more than [-] remained, and in the end they left with Xu Xiao, and more than [-] wounded soldiers, because according to your news, none of the remaining people left or left, and they also banned their own The younger generations join the army, you also know that Da Chu has always regarded the descendants of veterans as the best source of soldiers
And those veterans don't let their descendants join the army, and those bastard families guard those peasant households and don't let them join the army. Other places are in war, and the population needs to be restored, so they can't draw many soldiers, and there are not many left. Soldiers are also used to guard the cities

It’s already bottomed out a long time ago, the soldiers you’re looking at now are the bandit suppression brigade put together by several of our families, and to support these few remaining troops, we need a lot of food and armaments to support them, Therefore, over the years, the growth rate of the number of troops has been very "considerable""

After Chen Li said these words in one breath, he took a deep breath and shrugged his shoulders at Zhang Yicai, expressing that he could do nothing about it.

Zhang Yicai pointed to the back, and told him to follow the army to practice. The Great Chu did not lose in the First World War, but his background was lost.
"It seems that this battle is more difficult than I imagined." Zhang Yicai looked at the mountain and muttered to himself.
"The general has inquired clearly. There are no less than a thousand smoke from the kitchen at that location. Each boiler can be used by ten people. According to a rough estimate, there are at least 1 people." Xiao San, who went to inquire about the news, said respectfully.
"Well, you go down first." Zhang Yicai waved his hand and looked at the army in front of him with an ugly face. Calculating that her own army and the army of the Jin and Chen families combined were only 6000 people. There is a mobile cavalry,

How to fight this battle?

Zhang Yicai called his messengers and asked him to beat the drums and gather the generals. You can't fight alone, you have to rely on yourself, so you don't want to exhaust yourself to death. He doesn't want to be Zhuge Liang who died after he did his best.
