Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 214
The first person to speak was Cui Hongdu. After Liu An's death, he was already the second most senior meritorious service among the crowd: "The general thought that we must strengthen our guard. The thief's intention to attack Xiongjin may not necessarily be Xiongjin, Xiang Zhuang Wujian is aimed at Peigong!"

"That's right!" He Bayong stood by Cui Hongdu's side this time: "After Fifth Brother Liu died in battle last time, the thieves on Ren Cun Mountain didn't move much. It has been more than ten days, and all the wheat in the field has been harvested." It’s all over, I don’t believe they just sit back and watch us harvest the wheat in the field, otherwise what will they eat this winter?”

Wang Wenzuo rested his chin with his right hand, twirled his beard, and listened to the speech of his subordinates. Except for his eyes, his whole body remained motionless, like a wax figure.

"Then Fuyu Zhongsheng must have been scared out of his wits! I heard from the captured thieves that the white cape that Wu brother Liu desperately snatched last time was given by the leader of the thieves, Fu Yu Fengzhang, to Fu Yu Zhongsheng, the leader of the puppet country. So that day The thief general who supervises the battle under the white command is Fuyu Zhongsheng."

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. How could Fuyu Zhongsheng not know this truth? If you lose, you lose. How could you be scared out of your wits?"

"Yes, even if he was frightened at the time, he should recover in a few days. Is there any reason to hide in the city all the time? Are you not afraid of the renunciation of your subordinates?"

Wang Wenzuo was expressionless. Thanks to Hei Chi Changzhi's intelligence network, he knew much more than others. Fu Yu Zhongsheng was indeed terrified by Liu An's desperate blow that day, but right now Ren Cun It is not him who is in charge of the mountain city, but Ambebirov who arrived with Japanese reinforcements.As a result, the quality of information that Wang Wenzuo could obtain dropped sharply. His main source of information was the Baekje people who were secretly dissatisfied among the rebels, and Abebirov was surrounded by almost all Japanese. Say it's a black hole.

"Maybe we should withdraw our troops?" Gu Cihang said, "If Sibi City can't send reinforcements, then we will be alone here!"

"Withdraw the army? How can I do it? It's hard to set up the camp, and there are enough rations. If the army withdraws, the morale will definitely drop!"

"That's right, the newly harvested wheat alone in the back camp has 1 shi, and there are 4000 people who have just arrived. With so many burdens, how can we withdraw?"

"Just burn the wheat. As for the civilian husbands, they are all Baekje people anyway. It's not a pity if they all die, as long as the sergeant is fine!"

"People leave their farm work at home and don't apply for it, but you throw them all to the rebels?"

"Why don't you stay behind and let these Baekje people retreat first?"

Boom!

The sound penetrated the big tent, and the people who were arguing turned their heads and saw Wang Wenzuo holding a hatchet. The sound just now should have been made by him with the handle of the ax on the ground.

"Why do you want to withdraw because you are a lone army?" Wang Wenzuo looked at everyone: "Have you forgotten that we were a lone army from the beginning, if the lone army were to retreat, the grass on our graves would be eight feet high now!"

"Then, what should we do?" Gu Cihang asked.

"Stay here until Rencun Mountain City is captured!"

"Taking Rencun Mountain City?" Everyone felt a cool wind blowing on the back of their necks. They basically experienced the last siege battle. Occasionally pops up in their nightmares.Last time there were only 1 new recruits in the mountain city. Not counting the new arrivals now, the original defenders numbered [-], and Wang Wenzuo's army was only [-]. If he wanted to capture the mountain city with this force, it would be tantamount to committing suicide. road.

"Do you feel that we are outnumbered?" Wang Wenzuo sneered and said, "But you have to know that there are many benefits when there are many people, and there are also benefits when there are few people when there are few people!"

"Join the army!" Shen Faseng asked cautiously: "I know the benefits of having more people, but what about the benefits of having fewer people?"

"Few people consume less military rations!" Wang Wenzuo sneered, "For the same amount of food, the side with fewer people will definitely be able to survive to the end than the side with more people! We have plundered so much wheat these days, and thieves can eat it." How many mouths do you have?"

"So you're planning to exhaust the enemy's military supplies?" Shen Faseng asked, "With 3000 troops, it's impossible to encircle the mountain city. The enemy army can keep bringing food in from outside!"

"If that's the case, wouldn't the Rencun mountain city become a burden for the thieves? The Japanese came here with [-] mouths all at once, so Fuyu Fengzhang must not have enough food, right?"

"Then, what if the thieves besiege us? There are tens of thousands of defenders in Rencun City alone!" Shen Faseng asked.

"You can rest assured that if the thieves fight in the field and defend the city, they still have a chance of winning. If they attack my camp, let alone 1 people, even if there are 2 people, they will not be able to attack!"

"[-], [-]?" Everyone in the tent looked at each other in blank dismay. They were all experienced warriors, and they were quite confident in their martial arts and courage. , trained ordinary soldiers.Military laymen usually underestimate the benefits of numerical superiority and overestimate the role of military talent. Even a gifted general can hardly defeat a mediocre general commanding twice his army.It is true that the Tang army has a great advantage in equipment and training over the Japanese and Baekje rebels, but can this advantage offset the huge numerical advantage of three to six times?They are skeptical.

Wang Wenzuo saw the doubts of the crowd, he did not continue to explain, stood up: "Let the facts prove everything, now you follow my orders! First, we must increase the height of the wall by another six feet, deepen the reservoir, increase the The height of the towers, the deepening of the trenches!"

——————————————————————————————

"That's the camp of the Tang people!" Baekje's interpreter pointed to the camp not far away. Abebirov lifted the reins, and the mount neighed slightly. He came to the edge of the hill and carefully observed the enemy's camp.Tang Ren's camp stretched across the high ground by the river, like a huge beehive, busy and orderly.The time is limited, Tang people's sentry is not blind, they will soon find out that someone is spying on their camp, and they will definitely send someone to drive them away.

It's not the first time Amberbirov has been on the battlefield, but it's the first time he's seen the camp in front of him. The trenches, horses, earth barriers, fences, and sentry towers are layered one after another. The tents in the camp are divided by roads. Separated like a chessboard, ant-sized figures shuttle and are busy on the road.Apparently the Tang people are well aware that they will be besieged and are preparing to defend against future attacks.

"This is not an ordinary camp, but it's not a city gate!" Ambebirov muttered to himself. He compared the camp in front of him with the enemy camps he had seen in the past, and was surprised to find that there was no camp that could match the camp in front of him. Than.

Needless to say, the camps of the Ainu and Silla people, even though there are fences and fortifications around the horses, they are by no means as systematic as the Tang people's fortifications; It is located in a dangerous area such as the top of a mountain, unlike the camp of the Tang people, which is located in a gentle place by the river. This is the first time Ambirov has encountered such an army.
