Chapter 438 There will be reinforcements tomorrow


    ?The time went back to two days ago. At the foot of Xiangling City, Han Xian and Li Le looked at the city with some helplessness.


    ?This Xiangling County town is like a stone, stuck in the middle, completely blocking the way...


    Why was there no way to bypass the city in ancient times?


    Why is there leap-frog tactics in modern warfare?


    This can only be determined by production conditions and science and technology.


    In today''s war, it is not very difficult to airdrop a troop of several thousand people. It is also enough to airdrop supplies to thousands of people. Of course, if the opponent does not have anti-aircraft firepower, you can even consider dropping some PlayBoy to let the troops A bit of entertainment life.


    But in ancient times, this was completely unfeasible.


    In the Han Dynasty, the Hu people were better off and had cattle, sheep and horses, but the Han people could not cross the city at all.


    Cities are communication nodes.


    Post stations extending in all directions were the only way for ancient people to transmit information. Even small-scale carrier pigeons required point-to-point transmission of information. Once a war broke out, a lot of information was reported to the central city. And choosing to bypass the city, let alone whether you can successfully obtain the information sent from your own side, you can''t even judge what state the enemy is in now...


    Cities are food and grass nodes.


    Soldiers in the Han Dynasty had little oil and water, so they had a huge demand for coarse grains. However, there was no sealing or storage and filling technology for these grains in the Han Dynasty. They left dry warehouses and were transported to the wild. It did not take too long, even if they were not eaten. Various germination and mildew will also begin. If they do not bring food and grass, the infantry can march sixty to eighty miles in one day. In other words, the area within thirty miles surrounding the city is a range that can be directly attacked quickly, while bypassing the city is It is tantamount to dedicating one''s weakness to the other party...


    Cities are population nodes.


    With the exception of thieves like Bai Bo and Huang Jin who live one day at a time, the first thing those who occupy the city must do is to issue a notice to tell the people inside and outside the city which side the city now belongs to. Then the merchants and landowners in the city will naturally come to pay some protective fees. In the same process, you can also send more civilians, repair equipment, collect supplies, etc...


    It''s not impossible to feed war with war, but it can only be about 3,000 troops. Without it, it can''t attack various villages and forts. A closer look after the breakup revealed that it was all scorched earth. Who would go after the breakup next time? Moreover, using war to support war will easily lead to people''s war, and then they will fall into traps, be led the way, and be poisoned every day. The common people don''t care about the righteousness of the times. Being able to eat well and live like a human being is the greatest justice!


    ??Originally, there were no problems with the deployment of the White Wave Army.


    Xiangling County is stuck between Luliang Mountain and Fenshui, so the area where the troops can be deployed is small and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, Han Xian and Li Le brought most of the people here and slowly attacked the north of Xiangling City. , because of the obstacles of mountains and rivers, it is not as easy for these people to run away as in the open land.


    Then Yang Feng and Hu Cai led their troops and a small number of people to the west bank of the Fen River. Because the Baibo army was a rogue bandit and carried most of their food and grass, they could cross the Fen River south to attack Xiangling when their offensive to the north of Xiangling was blocked. To the south of the city, under two pincer attacks, Xiangling County is not that kind of desperate city. It will inevitably collapse in a few days...


    However, due to Yang Feng''s selfishness, Han Xian and Li Le on the east bank of the Fen River were stuck in Xiangling City. Hu Cai on the west bank of the Fen River was defeated by Fei Qian''s troops, and finally died in the hands of Yang Feng. And Yang Feng didn''t want to rescue Han Xian and Li Le at all, he just wanted to act according to his own arrangements.


    The entire Baibo Army''s original plan was completely empty talk. The current situation is that Han Xian and Li Le want to bypass the city, but they are blocked by Xiangling and Yong''an. They cannot bypass it at all, but they can bypass it. Yang Feng, who was walking towards the city, clung to Pingyang for his own personal purposes...


    ?? Han Xian stared at the young man holding an ax on the Xiangling city wall, and felt a faint fishy-sweet smell in his chest and abdomen. It made him nauseous, and his eyesight turned black.


    In the first wave of attacks in the morning, the soldiers had already attacked the city. A dozen of them had even climbed the ladder and stood on the city wall. However, this guy was forced to lead a group of axe-soldiers like chopping firewood. Cut it back...


    The same is true for the second wave. Under the long ax soldiers, especially the young man, there is basically nothing that can withstand it. A long ax can be used easily, but it is a tragedy for the white wave soldiers.


    In the third wave, the morale of the soldiers was obviously low, and no one even boarded the city...


    According to common sense, some warriors and fierce generals are needed at this time. They should stand on the front line and lead the soldiers to attack upwards. Even if they may not be able to capture the city, they will still have an motivating effect on their own soldiers. But Han Xian and Li Le knew clearly that if they really faced off against the young man on the city, it would probably be a disaster. Therefore, they would not be willing to stand up and lead the team.


    ?Han, Siam and Li Le cannot even be beaten to death, and they don’t have any strong generals at their disposal...


    "Take back the troops! Pull back the troops..." Li Le lamented, his cheeks trembling. These soldiers were all saved by him over the years, but now they were lost at the foot of Xiangling City. How could he not feel distressed?


    ?Han Xian knew in his heart that whoever vented his anger first would lose. Now it was a life-and-death situation, and he still felt sorry for the soldiers! You must know that it''s not just Li Le''s soldiers who are dead now. Both of them are the same, each taking half, and he hasn''t said to withdraw his troops yet. What the **** are you talking about?


    ??Han Xian couldn''t bear it any longer and opened his mouth to curse: "Get it, you **** soldier! If you hadn''t failed to guard the rear camp and had your food and grass burned, would we have been in this situation today?!"


    Li Le immediately stared and cursed loudly: "Your mother! You still have the nerve to criticize me? If you hadn''t sent someone out to mess around later, and ended up being pretended to burn the remaining food and grass, how could you have been in the same situation now?" None?"


    ?Han Siam counterattacked: "Your mother! You are guarding the back camp, and you don''t even recognize anyone, so how dare you say it?"


    ??Li Le counterattacked: "You coward! When did you, these **** bastards, let my soldiers recognize you? Do you recognize me as a hammer!?"


    ??The two people became more and more angry as they talked. If they hadn''t still had some sense, they would have fought each other long ago. But now it was impossible to continue to attack the city in this situation, so they hastily withdrew their troops...


    Han Xian spat out a mouthful of saliva that had a slightly fishy odor. Looking at the dejected soldiers who retreated, he felt something in his heart and shouted loudly: "Cheer up! Reinforcements will come tomorrow! By then we can capture Xiangling City. Eat whatever you want! Beef! Chicken and duck! Eat whatever you want!


    “Oh~~~Reinforcements are coming!”


    “I want to eat pancakes! I want to eat duck legs! And duck butt! The fattest and fattest duck butt!”


    ??Whether it was Han Xian''s or Li Le''s soldiers, they all became excited at such good news. They swallowed their saliva, cheered and talked loudly, imagining the arrival of a happy life tomorrow.


    ?Li Le was in a daze. Will there really be reinforcements tomorrow?


    ?However, Han Xian seems to be very sure about it. Could it be that there are really reinforcements?


    All the college entrance examination scores are out?


    Don’t worry about those who fail in the exam. Even if you are not good at anything but eating, as long as you are willing to use your brain, you can still do tricks...


    If you do well in the exam, be sure to tell your parents and friends, don’t compare yourself, and especially don’t say anything like: “Oh, you are only so much, my family is so so…”


    Whether you do well or fail in an exam is a personal matter. Never do anything that bases your own happiness on the pain of others...


    There are no longer a few people who are extremely self-centered in society. If you encounter a few people who can''t think about it, you know...


    If you meet someone who asks stupidly, just tell me how to go to find you, take a train, take a train, take a plane, do you want to change trains, etc., can you treat me to a meal when I get to your place, something like one or two I don’t understand, I only know that you are my friend...


    The same goes for other things...
