Chapter 1899

Big people are really not stupid. They know that the best soldier to train a good soldier is to choose honest young men with family and mouth. Such people are encumbered by their family business. As long as there are famous generals who practice hard, let them learn to obey military orders in clusters, and then pay and punish clearly, with sufficient food, pay and equipment, this will be an elite force that can be brought to the world and make a great reputation.

But in the past, the big men in Xiuyan state didn't need such elite soldiers at all. The trained army was strong, but the cost was too high.

Let's say that there are sufficient provisions and equipment... How much military materials do you need? How much money was wasted?

To train 10000 troops and horses in that way, it's better to take out 1% of the materials to train 100 strong men like a bad dog, and then use this guy like a bad dog to lead dozens of hundreds of grass-roots people to fight with foreign groups.

The grass people's big soldiers die when they die. After they die, they change from one crop to another, that is, the 100 evil dogs change when they die.

In this way, 1% of the materials for training 10000 elite soldiers, plus the loss of pensions and the lives of grass-roots people, will be enough for them to cope with more than 90% of the troubles, both internally and externally.

Therefore, it is not that they do not understand it, but there are ways with much lower costs, which are enough to cope with more than 90% of the situation. Why waste.

But this time, after Wei Wenguang pulled out 6000 elite soldiers, the big people in the city really felt that they had no spectrum in their hearts. Even if they put together 6000 or 7000 firemen and 4000 or 5000 cavalry to double the number of Wei Wenguang's 6000 people, they were not sure they could win.

When Shen Ting, Zhang Yiwen and other family owners were silent, Tang Qian stepped aside, "gentlemen, I know we don't have much chance of victory if we fight like this."

"But even if we can't win, it will be our victory to cripple 6000 men and horses of Wei Wenguang! Don't forget, in addition to these, we can easily mobilize tens of thousands of troops. What about Wei Wenguang? He lost half of his troops in this war, and the whole person will be no threat."

"Will we continue to give him a few months to train his troops leisurely? That's where I say he can't compare with his mentor. In terms of military training, he does his best to the true story of Yang Dingyuan, but the overall situation... That's it."

Twelve thousand people beat Wei Wenguang 6000. Even if eight thousand people were killed and injured here and more than three thousand people were killed and wounded here, these big people have won.

What's more, this is the worst situation in Tang Qianrang's heart. If he plays better, maybe the people they sent can win by relying on superior forces?

"The elite servants of our families are all old hands who have seen blood. Many people are still fighting against pirates from various countries on ocean waterways. They are used to big scenes. Even if they have all kinds of bad habits, they can easily affect their morale, but their advantages are also very prominent."

"Don't forget, Wei Wenguang's recruits haven't seen blood yet. They are not really elite soldiers."

These words made Shen Ting, Liu Guangyu and other talents bright in front of their eyes.

"Let's fight. We'll mobilize people to fight me hard right away. Damn guard thief, whether we win or lose this war, it will bring us a lot of trouble. If we can catch him alive later, we must cut him to pieces."

Yes, even if they win and cripple Wei Wenguang, they will also suffer heavy losses, including personnel losses!

Don't forget that they also want to run away. If they want to take away a large amount of wealth, they must be protected by strong servants and private soldiers.

Even if they maimed Wei Wenguang after losing thousands of people and horses, it would hurt all families.

In the past normal years, they died thousands of servants, and soon cut leeks to make up, but isn't this not what it used to be?

They are busy running. Time is very tight. There is no time to slowly cut leeks.

If we can catch Wei Wenguang in the war, that is to dispel hatred.

With Liu Guangyu's words, a dozen top powerful families moved and issued orders to assemble troops.

In less than an hour, groups of cavalry ready to go and shaky Musketeers barely riding on horses came out of the camps outside the city.

Even some Musketeers can't ride a horse. Even if there are high bridges, saddles, reins and so on, they fall off their horses many times. They quickly walk to the left and right, and tie them to their horses with ropes.

On the city wall, Tang Qianrang, Shen Ting, Liu Guangyu and others were looking at the tens of thousands of people and horses gathering with satisfaction. They suddenly found that there was a wolf smoke in the western direction of the mansion.

Shangxi county is in the west of Fucheng, but the most important transportation channel of Fucheng is the Xiang River outside the east of the city. In addition, the two counties occupied by Han and Zhang are in the upper and lower reaches of the Xiang River. The soldiers and horses gathered by each family are also camped outside the east of the city.

Together with the wolf smoke, all the big people are cluttered up.

"What's the matter, three wolf smoke? This is the most urgent military alert. Damn it, have the guards killed them? It's impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible. There is only one cavalry battalion in the Third Battalion of Wei Wenguang. The other two battalions are all infantry, plus the drag of various materials and equipment. It's good to be outside the west of the city tomorrow."

"Come on, let the cavalry go to the west city!"

…………

This time, the commander of the cavalry of the Tang family is Tang Qianwei, Tang Qianrang's brother. He also has a certain military talent. How can he compare with Yang Dingyuan? Tang Qianwei is naturally one hundred and eight thousand miles away. He still has the ability to fight ordinary wars.

Boom~

Thousands of horses galloped, led by Tang Qianwei. 1500 cavalry who had gathered out of the camp went straight to the west of the city around the moat.

The owners of each family also went down the wall as fast as possible, rode a fast horse or sat in a carriage, and ran all the way into the west city.

To the relief of a group of family owners, when they arrived at the west gate, they saw the closed gate. Hundreds of soldiers were still standing on the top of the city, and even there were some rich people wearing silk and satin.

On the city wall, no one exclaimed. They all stood like fools and looked outside the city. Outside the city, there was a great momentum brought by the galloping of thousands of horses.

From the clouds and smoke caused by the galloping of thousands of horses, all the owners knew that the cavalry regiment led by Tang Qianwei had also killed around the outer city.

A group of big people rushed to the city and kept drinking and scolding as they walked. Who lit the wolf smoke.

When they went up the city wall in turn, Tang Qianrang directly gave a soldier a whip, "who's really okay to light wolf smoke?"

He hasn't seen the specific situation outside the city, but except for the great momentum brought by the cavalry led by Tang Qianwei, who circled down from the north, there was no movement of large troops gathering or marching outside the main gate of the west city.

If Wei Wenguang killed with his army? From a distance, I had long seen the dust and smoke swept up by the march of the army.

After scolding, Tang Qianrang finally went to the city wall and looked down. At a glance, he was stupid, because there was a lonely figure standing there dozens of meters outside the main gate of the West City, Wei Wenguang!

More western officialdom? Even if you hold a hundred mile mirror high and look down, there are no soldiers at the end of your line of sight.

What's going on? What's this?
