"What happened this time is very important to us. I don't want what happened in Cangling Mountain before to happen again." Wang Cheng said.
Wang Cheng really attaches great importance to this matter. If this matter can be successful, then they can not only destroy the marriage between the Dalu Dynasty and Feng Jueguo, and may cause suspicion between the two countries, but also can take advantage of this. The next opportunity to develop and strengthen themselves, after all, Qian Yuanguo has also promised to give them the weapons they need most.
For the rebel army, the number is the easiest to obtain. After all, in this era, the living environment is not very good. Many people cannot eat or wear warmly. They have complaints about the imperial court. People are willing to join them. Although rebellion is a capital crime, it is not a big deal for those who can't even eat food and may die at any time.
Therefore, it is not too difficult for every insurgent force to recruit more people.
The embarrassment lies in how to train and feed them after the recruits are recruited. Many generals of the rebel forces can be hired. Although the subordinates are staffed, they cannot be given enough food to feed them, which leads to the fact that the forces are very fast. Just destroyed.
These insurgent forces didn’t think they were going to attack the county and rob large households, but this was obviously not an easy task. The imperial court had strict management of ironware, and not everyone could get it, and there were no weapons, a group of thin and weak people. It is undoubtedly very difficult for farmers with bamboo poles to break through the gates of the city.
Therefore, the people of the rebel forces cannot find food, so naturally they cannot keep people. The soldiers of the rebel forces either starved to death or fled, and finally fell apart. This time, many rebel forces obviously joined. Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu are for this reason. Of course it is good to be the boss, but there is also a lot of pressure. It is useless to not be able to get enough food and to support the men.
Therefore, it is better to go to Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu. If this is the case, you can also get an official position, and you don't have to bother to find food.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Cheng is very attentive to this action, even more attentive than before, because this time they have the opportunity to obtain weapons. You must know that Wang Cheng himself will train soldiers, but , Soldiers are trained, without weapons, they still don't have much combat effectiveness, and going to the battlefield is mostly a dead end.
And now, Qian Yuanguo promised to give them weapons, that would be the best. Once they have weapons, the strength of his team will increase sharply. At that time, attacking the scene will not be a big deal, and being able to win the war will naturally There is no need to worry about food. After all, the court still has food in the city, and with food, it will be able to retain those subordinates, and it will be able to further expand.
In addition to those iron frogs, the trophies are also something that Wang Cheng jealous of. Now he has more soldiers under his hand. He needs a lot of food and wages every day, and it costs money. The spoils of war naturally have money. Even, Wang Cheng is thinking that if given the opportunity, he will not directly kill the prince of Feng Jueguo and the princess of the Lu dynasty, but will kidnap them and make both sides The court used money to redeem people, so that he could make a fortune again.
Therefore, Wang Cheng attaches great importance to this incident. He does not want to see any accidents happen again, and Shi Dafu is the person who may cause the accidents. He had been in Cangling Mountain before. Disgraceful things happen.
Therefore, Wang Cheng felt that it was necessary for him to greet the other party in advance and remind the other party to avoid the occurrence of things that he did not want to see again.
Hearing Wang Cheng's words, Shi Dafu's face turned red, and he said, "What's the matter in Cangling Mountain? Why don't I remember it? Besides, it's not just that you value this matter, but I'm the same."
Shi Dafu is obviously unwilling to admit that he did something disgraceful before. As long as he doesn’t admit it, Wang Cheng can’t do anything about it. After all, there is no evidence for this kind of thing. Shi Dafu doesn’t want Wang Cheng to catch it everywhere. Propaganda, it was a blow to your reputation. Now it is time for you to expand, and your reputation is still very important to you.
However, although Shi Dafu did not acknowledge the fact that Cang Lingshan was dragging his feet, his next sentence was true. Among Wang Cheng’s colleagues who valued this matter, Shi Dafu also attached great importance to this action. Wang Cheng could think of it, and he too. It can be thought that Wang Cheng wanted to use this opportunity to arm his team and increase the strength of his team. Why didn't Shi Dafu plan that way? Otherwise, like Wang Cheng, he would not concentrate as many of his subordinates here as possible. This is to obtain more weapons from Qian Yuanguo. After all, Qian Yuanguo said, They put their weapons according to their hair. Naturally, the more people who come, the more weapons they will get.
Among the forces of the insurrection army, the most indispensable is people, but it is precisely because they accept everyone, which leads to the rapid expansion of the team, but the people inside are uneven, old, weak, sick and disabled. For these people, the leaders of the rebel army didn't care.
But this time, Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu both called out all these people by coincidence, and they all came, just to get the weapons. As for whether these people will survive on the battlefield, That’s not what Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu care about. It’s natural to survive. It doesn’t matter if you don’t survive. Originally, these people were called just to get more weapons, even if they died on the battlefield. It's a pity that you just have to get a weapon. As for people, as long as you have food and money in your hand, are you afraid that you can't find anyone in this environment?
Therefore, Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu both desperately called for more people this time, and everything that can come around came. This also directly caused the number of rebel soldiers gathered near this pass, not domineering. The 100,000 guessed by the general was more than 200,000. Although there were some old, weak, sick and disabled people who were recruited by Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu to fill the number, the overall strength should not be underestimated.
It doesn’t matter if Shi Dafu didn’t admit the things before, and Wang Cheng didn’t care. Anyway, that incident has already happened, and it doesn’t make sense to think about it. As long as Shi Dafu knows this, he doesn’t do the same stupid things again this time. Although Shi Dafu didn't look very good, he didn't know how stupid he was.
Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu gathered around the pass so blatantly, it naturally attracted the attention of the defending generals in the pass. Originally, he had not taken it seriously. After all, the soldiers of the rebel army had already attacked the city once before. , The result was unsuccessful and was repelled by him. In his opinion, the strength of the insurgent forces was nothing more than that. They were just a group of useless peasants. There was nothing to worry about. As long as they dared to attack the city, then they would be able to Throw them back again.
Originally, I thought that by staying in this pass, there would be no more chances for meritorious service. After all, the court has ceased war with Feng Jueguo. In a short period of time, it is impossible to fight again. As the generals on their side will naturally have no performance. Now it seems that these no-brained soldiers of the uprising army actually took the initiative to find death. Naturally, he would not be polite.
Therefore, when the general knew that there were rebel forces around the pass, he did not take it seriously, and he did not choose to request support from the court. He felt that he was capable of repelling those rebel forces and let others. Come, don't you take credit with yourself, he is naturally unwilling.
However, he later discovered that the situation was not right. The people of the rebel forces were not the tens of thousands of people before, but a large number of black people. According to estimates, it should be more than 100,000. More importantly, these people have not yet. After the assembly was stopped, the number of soldiers continued to increase. At this time, the defending generals in this pass knew that something was going wrong. Their own city was not well defended, and the number of defenders was not large. It really couldn't stop so many rebel soldiers. Shocked, so he hurriedly asked the court for help.
However, at this time, it is already a bit late. It will take some time for the information to be transmitted from here to the emperor. It will take some time for the emperor to make arrangements. It will take time for reinforcements to come. The time will definitely not add up. Short, that is, in a short period of time, reinforcements will definitely not arrive. The defending general can only pray in his heart. Soldiers of the insurgents outside the city, it is best not to attack the city immediately and delay more. Time, wait until your reinforcements arrive.
However, Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu are not fools. They are gathering here blatantly. It is impossible for the defenders in the city to be unaware. If the imperial court’s reinforcements arrive, they want to lay down this pass. That would be very difficult. If they can't beat this place, they won't have a way to go out, they won't be able to attack the sent-off team, and they won't be able to get weapons from Qian Yuanguo.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to not be able to fight here, and time cannot be delayed for too long. Although Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu can't wait to mobilize all of their subordinates, time does not allow them to do that. They are gathering. After most of their subordinates, they launched an attack on this pass that had been in war for many years.
Where the pass was destroyed by Feng Jueguo before. Some time ago, Wang Cheng and Shi Dafu also attacked. It can be said that the city defense facilities here are very bad and there are not many places that can be used. Therefore, the guards in the city The pressure on the army is quite heavy. They were able to hold on here the previous time because of the help of Lin Yu and others, but now Lin Yu and the others are gone, they can only rely on themselves.
However, after only a long time, the city was declared lost.
