The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 209 One Hundred Thousand Army
Outside Jiangcheng, the official road.

A group of soldiers marched in a disorderly manner, holding various weapons, some wearing straw sandals, and some in tattered clothes like beggars.

His face was yellow and thin, and his eyes were dull.

This is not an army, it is simply a group of beggars going out on patrol.

But there were rows of soldiers at the back of the team, all dressed uniformly, all young and strong, and the expressions on their faces seemed to be fighting.

The more than 1 people behind are the last elite of Pakistan.

General Zhang Ping set off with [-] soldiers.

There are 3 elites, and the remaining [-] are recruited strong men.

There are two other roads each leading 3 people to Dacheng.

"Hey, regardless of whether we win or lose this battle, our country's national strength will be greatly reduced." Zhang Ping, wearing bronze armor, was riding on a horse, sighing a little.

Wearing a black armor next to him is Lieutenant General Zhang Yuze, who is 35 years old and in his prime.

After hearing this, he quickly asked, "Why did the general say that?"

"Now it's time for spring planting. If so many strong men are recruited, the farm work in the field will definitely be delayed. At that time, the grain harvest will be greatly reduced, which is not good for our Pakistan." Zhang Ping shook his head and explained.

Zhang Yuze couldn't deny it, and said: "But Xiong Hui dared to betray and kill the son. If this revenge is not avenged, what is the prestige of our country? Besides, the king will not swallow this breath."

"I've never wanted to understand why Xiong Hui suddenly betrayed. Even if Dacheng fell, at most he would be punished, but he wouldn't be able to kill the young master. When the young master died, the king was furious. Thirty members of Xiong Hui's family were killed. I There is no way to stop it."

Zhang Ping, as the general of the Ba Kingdom, although he holds a high position and authority, he can't fight against the king.

Xiong Hui was promoted by him to be the defender of Dacheng, and Zhang Ping was also jointly and severally responsible for Xiong Hui's rebellion.

"No matter what, I will ask Xiong Hui personally after the general captures Dacheng." Zhang Ping's eyes shot out.

Zhang Yuze cupped his hands and said: "General, according to the report from the scouts, it was Su Lin, a prince from the state of Chu, who captured Dacheng. Xiong Hui killed the son and defected to her. I heard that the Han army led by Su Lin was extremely brave and repelled the attack. The combined forces of Qin and Chu."

"Repel the coalition forces of Qin and Chu?"

Zhang Ping frowned, shaking his head in disbelief.

He has been fighting for many years and has also fought against the Qin State. He is well aware of the terrifying military strength of the Qin State. Looking at the countries, there are not many countries that can evenly compete with the Qin State's army, let alone repel them.

"Maybe it's a rumor." Zhang Ping laughed, not believing it.

"Maybe." Zhang Yuze nodded without saying anything.

gone for a long time.

Zhang Ping rode on a brown steed, looked ahead, and shouted to the orderly next to him: "Send the order, go on the road overnight, and arrive at the city within three days."

"Here." The messenger clapped his hands in response, then turned and left.

This military order made most of the soldiers feel dissatisfied. They were already very tired from the road, and they drove all night. Do you treat us like livestock?
Lieutenant General Zhang Yuze was a little puzzled, and asked, "General, won't this destabilize the army's morale?"

"There is no way. We are already one of the weakest countries among the nations. We should have raised our troops and recuperated, but our king has resorted to military use. Every day a [-]-strong army consumes a lot of food and grass, we can only step up our efforts." Hurry up and take a short rest before launching an attack, otherwise the food and grass alone will drag down Pakistan."

Zhang Ping was very helpless. It was hard for a smart woman to cook without rice. She had no food, no well-trained soldiers, and was limited by various conditions, so she had no choice but to fight like this.

"It's hard to be a general."

Zhang Yuze also let out a long breath, the country is too weak to be bullied.

But Dacheng was captured, and that was the most important city besides the capital, so we had to make a statement, so we had to bite the bullet and fight it down.

The news that the [-] troops of the Ba Kingdom were marching towards Dacheng spread to Dacheng and also to Dahan City.

Big Seoul, Sima Lanting Courtyard.

Su Lin frowned. He was not surprised by the intelligence of Pakistan's counterattack, but what was surprising was that Pakistan was able to mobilize an army of [-].

One hundred thousand troops.

Just hearing this number makes me feel scared. At that time, the [-] allied forces of Qin and Chu were fighting so hard. If Qin State was not in a hurry to suppress the rebellion, Yiqu might have been captured by Qin and Chu.

"What's more, Xiong Hui, the defender of Dacheng, intended to rebel and was taken down by the intelligence station Li Erni. Now the original defender of Dacheng may be a little unstable."

This was what Dai Li was most worried about.

Although this period of time has been used to brainwash the defenders of Dacheng in an all-round way, after all, the time is short, and no one can guarantee that when the situation deteriorates, the original Marquis of Dacheng will turn against him.

Su Lin frowned and asked, "How long will it take for the Ba army to arrive in Dacheng?"

Dai Li thought for a while and replied, "It will take three days if it is fast, and five days if it is slow."

"On the basis of three days, inform Shen Peng to let him transfer the unsteady-minded soldiers from the Dacheng defenders to the Dahan City. We must ensure that all the soldiers guarding the Dacheng are firm-minded soldiers." Su Lin said in a deep voice. road.

"But if this is the case, at least half of them will be transferred here, and Dacheng's troops will be insufficient." Dai Li showed a worried expression.

Su Lin shook his head slightly, "Even if the troops are insufficient, we must ensure the determination to defend the city. Including ours, there are 8000 to [-] people, and we have to defend for more than half a month. I don't believe that the food and grass in the Ba Kingdom can last for such a long time?"

Dai Li thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "Here, this subordinate will do it now."

After Dai Li left, Su Lin fell into deep thought.

One battle after another, Su Lin felt a little hasty in preparing, but he was not afraid.

Even if it fails, at least the big Seoul deep in the mountains will be used as the rear base. As long as the big Seoul is not lost, there will be no loss.

Seeing Su Lin sitting there meditating, Sima Lanting stood up softly and walked behind Su Lin.

Reaching out to touch Su Lin's long hair, Su Lin woke up startled, turned his head and said, "What are you doing?"

"My master, let me clean up my master. My master still has a lot of things to do today." Sima Lanting said with a smile.

"Ah."

Su Lin nodded. It is indeed time to go to the command room in the center of the city and convene everyone to discuss relevant countermeasures.

Sima Lanting took a wooden comb from the dressing table, and gently combed Su Lin's hair very carefully.

"Doesn't the lord not wash and dress up regularly?"

Every time Sima Lanting saw Su Lin, he always put on a very simple makeup, so he asked this question.

"It's such a waste of time to dress up, mother-in-law, I don't need it." Su Li said with her eyes closed.

"Oh."

Sima Lanting felt strange, there is no woman who doesn't like to dress up.

He quickly tied up his hair, and according to Su Lin's favorite style, it was simply coiled up, with a strand of hair hanging down, which looked very feminine.

This made Su Lin even more moving.

Su Lin didn't have any other feelings, stood up and said, "I'm leaving first, you should go get busy too."

After finishing speaking, he pushed open the door and walked out of the yard quickly.

Sima Lanting looked at Su Lin's masculine look, and was a little surprised, but he was right after thinking about it, if it was a delicate woman.

How could it be possible to establish such a huge force that is not inferior to a country.

The last battle in Dacheng.

Dacheng's more than 1 defenders scattered and ran away. Xiong Hui reorganized more than 3000 people and came back to seek refuge in Su Lin.

This time Xiong Hui was killed due to rebellion. Among the more than 3000 people, Shen Peng asked the intelligence station to select more than 700 "potentially unstable" soldiers and transfer them to Seoul.

Then they were arranged in several villages and towns such as Handong Town, Hanxi Town, Nanhu Town, and Hannan Village.

Now those with more than 5000 people are upgraded to towns, and those with less than 5000 people are still called villages.

Let them slowly accept the influence of ideological education.

Brainwashing is a terrible thing. A person has an ideological cognition, or perception.

That kind of power cannot be shaken by force.

Su Lin is promoting that thing. Don't look at it as seven to eight thousand people fighting against an army of one hundred thousand, as long as the will is firm, it will definitely be able to withstand it.

But what Su Lin was most worried about was that the loss would be too great, and his vitality would be greatly damaged.

Will it arouse Qin's coveting?

For Su Lin, Qin is the biggest enemy.
