Chapter 101: Not Many Soldiers
"Madman, do you have any plans?" Muji asked.
"Muji, take some people with you tomorrow and pretend to be civilians to see if there are any dangerous places along the way from Saga City to Tanisha City. If you find anything, report it immediately."
"Okay, I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Muji agreed.
Before dawn the next day, Muji bid farewell to Liu Feng and took people to inquire along the way. Liu Feng summoned Kumar, Ivan, Sula and others to discuss matters in the government office. Asila took Saga City and Tanisha City
After briefly describing the situation, everyone was gearing up and preparing for a big fight.
"Your Majesty, let's send troops immediately, kill Akashi from behind, and save his shit." Mu Letou said.
"Yes, our Southern Han army is brave and good at fighting. How can those half-hearted men under Akashi be able to withstand it? Your Majesty, please give the order as soon as possible. Toulemu is willing to be the vanguard." Toulemu is not willing to lag behind.
"You can do it, right? You were trapped in a tight siege in Fanlawa City before. If it weren't for me, your butt would have been stretched." Mu Letou said proudly.
"If it weren't for me, I'm afraid your life would have been lost a long time ago. Someone fired an arrow at the top of the city, couldn't I have blocked it for you?" Toulemu said.
These two guys were really in love with each other. They were two tall men with black faces, and they kept bickering. If it wasn't a military emergency, Liu Feng would be willing to listen to their cross talk.
Tietou, Sanjay, Shaq, and Amkhan were used to seeing the lively quarrels between them, but these people were also eager to try and were full of confidence.
The battle in Vanlawa City made the sergeants feel a little elated, as if Akash had offered the dog's head and was just waiting to get it with his sword. Liu Feng realized that something was wrong. Usually, if you are arrogant and underestimate the enemy, you will lose the battle right in front of you. Liu Feng realized that something was wrong.
Feng looked around. Only Kumar, Ivan, Sura, and Darrey looked calm. Liu Feng nodded secretly, and it was clear at a glance that the generals were talented.
"Bang!" Liu Feng slapped the gavel tree hard, and several anxious people finally calmed down.
Liu Feng's eyes were like swords, he scanned everyone, and then said slowly, "After a victory, one often suffers and underestimates the enemy." Have brothers ever heard of this?
The first few people in Mulue had confused faces and shook their heads. This was what Liu Feng had expected. This was written by Chen Shou. Under the current conditions, naturally no one knew about it.
"After winning a battle, I often suffer from underestimating the enemy and being arrogant and complacent. I always feel that I am great and the enemy is vulnerable. If this happens, you will definitely lose." The first few people in Mule are not fools. They have already understood this time
, it’s not that they didn’t learn military strategies when they were young, it’s just that after a big victory, they couldn’t help but lose control of their emotions.
"Those who defeat the arrogant and lazy will be defeated! Brothers, there are still many battles ahead. Soldiers are on the battlefield, and their bodies are wrapped in horse leather. But I really don't want us to lose the battle in a daze, understand." Liu Feng slowed down his tone,
Like an order, more like persuasion.
"Your Majesty, we realize our mistake." Toulemu said with his hands raised.
"It doesn't matter, you are the country's support. Pay more attention in the future. If you rely on your strength without warning, you will underestimate the enemy and be defeated repeatedly. If you know the small and fear yourself, you will be wise and defeat it." Liu Feng said.
Kumar stood aside. In fact, when Mu Letou and the others were complacent, he also felt quite dissatisfied. It was just that Liu Feng was in front of the palace and could not be dissuaded. Previously, he only thought that Liu Feng was of noble birth and had extraordinary courage, but he did not expect that Xin
The king can still have a rare calmness after a great victory. He is indeed a rare talent.
Perseverance when you are completely defeated. Keep a cool head after a great victory. This is an essential quality for achieving great things in troubled times.
"Your Majesty," Kumar stepped forward and said with cupped hands, "Currently Akashic troops still have 50,000 troops, which is far stronger than ours. It is not too difficult to defeat them, but I don't think your Majesty has this intention?
"
"What you said is absolutely true. This guy went deep alone. We occupied his granary in the front, and Zilong and Vikas harassed the grain road in the back. This is a great opportunity to eliminate him," Liu Feng said.
"Yes, if we let him escape into Tanisha City or other big city-states, we will have to go through a lot of troubles," Ivan said.
"However, with our strength and in cooperation with the Saga City garrison, we can defeat them, but we cannot encircle them. It would be quite difficult to eat them all," Darrey said.
Liu Feng smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything. He wanted to hear everyone's opinions, and everyone's opinion was worth the price.
Kumar raised his head to look at Liu Feng, wanting to say something. Seeing Liu Feng shaking his head slightly, he immediately came over and stood to the side, remaining silent.
Generals are not brave but strategic. Generals who are good at fighting and have strategies are the rarest. Opportunities are rare, so they must be allowed to face complex situations and have strategies to deal with them.
"Your Majesty," Sulla took a step forward and said with cupped hands, "If Saga City can hold on for a few days, and we completely cut off their food routes from the outside, within ten days, the Akashic Army will collapse without a fight."
"General Sulla is right," Mu Letou suddenly realized, "They should be the ones who are anxious now. Let's just wait and see."
"Isn't that right? There is plenty of food and drink in this city. Let's recharge our batteries. When Akashi and the others are exhausted, we will raise crabs in our pants - a double-sided attack so that they cannot return to their old nest." Toulemu
They also nodded repeatedly, and the two generals, Heng Ha, had a rare agreement.
Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Liu Feng gave a slap in the face, and everyone became quiet and stood on both sides, knowing that an order was about to be issued.
"Generals, we are not in a hurry to attack, but we must not be arrogant. We must have strong troops and be prepared for any danger. Fanlawa City and the surrounding city-states have a large number of residents. In recent days, the generals have conquered the surrounding city-states and recruited troops." Liu Feng looked around.
Generals, continued:
"Generals are not based on bravery but on strategy, not on being numerous but on being skilled. When recruiting soldiers, those who are physically weak will not be recruited, those who are too old or too young will not be recruited, and those who are not strong-willed will not be recruited."
This is Liu Feng's plan. It can be seen from the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty that it is very important to be strong, willing to achieve a career, and mentally determined. Otherwise, too many soldiers and horses will only consume more food and grass.
, but it will drag down combat effectiveness.
"Yes." All the generals agreed in unison and went back to prepare.
Fanlawa is a big city and has been conquered. The civilians in the city have been given a lot of food, and some poor families have been given houses. People respect Liu Feng and the Southern Han Army very much. However, the surrounding city-states are still not under control. Although
The forces are not strong, but they must be conquered, and they must not be allowed to support Akash.
On the second day, good news came frequently. Most of the surrounding city-states and small towns surrendered, and those who resisted were easily captured. Almost the entire alluvial plain was under Liu Feng's control. All towns captured were subject to the "kill for life" rule.
, the "double punishment for guilty" policy has distributed a lot of benefits to civilians.
There are hundreds of thousands of residents around Vanlawa, and this time they have recruited 5,000 recruits. They are all between the ages of 18 and 24, tall and strong, and they want to follow Liu Feng to achieve a career.
