When Xu Boyuan received the city defense map and two booklets, he was a little confused. The thing was too simple. He didn't even say a single one of the plans he had secretly prepared and the conditions he wanted to offer. Liu Rugan took the initiative to send the thing over, which was too easy to talk to.

However, after Old Wu said Liu Rugan's conditions, he, who was a little confused, instantly understood Liu Rugan's thoughts.

"It can be considered a good official."

Xu Boyuan sighed in his heart, not doubting the authenticity of this thing. After all, if Liu Rugan really wanted to be unfavorable to them, he would not have to go through such a big trouble. He just needed to tell Hu Ming about his information, and most of the people who lurked in would suffer.

Old Wu looked at Xu Boyuan's booklet and was a little confused. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, "Mr. Xu, the county magistrate said that troops will be sent in the city in three days. If we arrive on the battlefield, we..."

Because their plan was to join forces to seize the city gate, and then there was nothing they had to do, but now it suddenly became necessary to go out of the city to fight, which was completely incompatible with their plan, so he was a little confused.

“It’s okay.”

Hearing Old Wu's words, Xu Boyuan temporarily put down the city defense map in his hand, "I will notify the prince before you leave the city."

"Once the fight starts, you can join forces to resolve the surrender of the supervisor."

Speaking of this, Xu Boyuan suddenly remembered something and reminded him: "By the way, there is one thing you must remember, that is, don't stand on the way to charge the cavalry."

"surrender……"

Old Wu's face was a little bitter. This sentence sounds simple, but just because of ordinary civilians, they want to deal with the battle supervisor, would they look down on them too much, right?

Seeing that Old Wu's face looked embarrassed, Xu Boyuan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, there are people I have installed in the supervision team. They will help you when the time comes, and I will prepare two thousand short crossbows for you. When you hide them on your body and get caught off guard, those supervision teams will definitely have no way to survive."

"Short crossbow?"

Hearing Xu Boyuan's promise, Old Wu immediately cheered up. Crossbow arrows are a big killing weapon. At close range, the light armor of those soldiers will definitely not be able to block the power of crossbow arrows. If there are two thousand, it will be good to use them, and there will be no problem in finding a way out.

"Since that's the case, thank you Mr. Xu!"

Old Wu thanked Xu Boyuan repeatedly. After all, a short crossbow, even if it is of average quality, it will cost hundreds of taels of silver. Since Xu Boyuan could promise them so much, it means that Xu Boyuan still trusted them in his heart and did not just regard them as abandoned soldiers.

"You should be so kind."

Xu Boyuan waved his hand lightly and said, "After you go back, when the defenders are about to leave the city, don't make any noise, so that there will be trouble if someone is not nervous and has a flaw, it will be a problem."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't understand the truth."

Old Wu nodded and agreed solemnly, "I will never leak this matter until the last moment."

"Yeah, OK."

Xu Boyuan nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then you can go back first, comfort your subordinates, and don't cause any trouble in two days."

"clear."

Old Wu bowed and bowed, then quickly left Xu Boyuan's courtyard.

After he walked away, Xu Boyuan sighed leisurely, "Oh, I have to move again."

To be honest, he had just planned to silence Lao Wu, but this thought just flashed through his mind. After all, those civilians were contacted through Lao Wu. If he was killed, there might be a lot of trouble if no one appeased the civilians.

So he could only take a gamble in the end, hoping that the old Wu head would not be exposed, and he was not completely unscheduled. He had already inserted a confidant next to the old Wu head. If the old Wu head was talking nonsense or exposed, his confidant would definitely silence him as soon as possible.

As for the two thousand short crossbows promised to Old Wu, he naturally would not break his promise. Anyway, it would not be difficult to transfer two thousand short crossbows from Lu Dafu. If Old Wu was not exposed, it would be okay to give him these crossbow arrows before Hu Ming's army left the city.

"Ha, going out of the city to fight is really a death."

Thinking that Hu Ming would leave the city in three days, Xu Boyuan couldn't help but show a sarcastic smile on his face. No one in the city knew the strength of the canned iron food of the Red Flame Dragon Knight. It looked like a heavy armored cavalry, but in fact it was more mobile than that of the light cavalry.

And the most important thing is that those under the heavy armor were all soldiers in the Bone Forging Realm. You should know that they were just in the Bone Forging Realm before, but now there are five thousand soldiers as strong as him at once. He really doesn't know what Hu Ming plans to fight against the Red Flame Dragon Knight in three days.

"If the defenders in the city leave the city, they will definitely be defeated."

Xu Boyuan silently thought in his mind, "So the most important thing for me is to block the retreat of the defeated army, prevent them from escaping back into the city, and block them directly outside the city."

Thinking of this, Xu Boyuan took out the city defense map and the two booklets to carefully watch it, and began to constantly deduce the scene three days later in his heart, striving to seize the city gate in three days, without any mistakes.

...

Three days passed in a flash. Hu Ming had planned so many days in the city, but he finally decided to leave the city today.

According to convention, before leaving the city, Hu Ming made a mobilization in the city, smearing Mo Zizai into an unforgivable person. By the way, he wanted to dig the Qianlang River to flood Yining City. It was a pity that although these soldiers were a little indignant about flooding Yining City, they were not very motivated by the increase in morale.

After all, they had eaten imperial grain before, but now they suddenly rebelled and wanted to fight against the imperial army. If it were not for the generals above, it would be a good thing that they would not surrender, so why would they have morale?

Seeing that this set was not working, Hu Ming had no choice but to use his ability to make money and make a generous promise to both the soldiers and the generals. Anyway, he didn't pay the money. The empty check was spread out like a lack of money. The heads of the aristocratic families next to him were sucking their teeth, but thought that if they lost this battle, they would not be as simple as paying for it. So although they were so painful, they still pinched their noses and recognized it.

Sure enough, money was working well at all times. Once the real money was smashed, the morale of the defenders of Yining City increased almost to the naked eye.

“Fortunately, morale is available.”

Looking at the uplifting defenders of Yining City, Hu Ming nodded slightly, not caring about the reason why the soldiers were excited, as long as their morale was available.

Moreover, after leaving the city, there are 100,000 to 20,000, which is the number of them. As long as you find a way to deal with the Red Flame Dragon Knight under Mo Zizai's command, the battle will be stable.

Although heavy cavalry is difficult to deal with, it has not appeared in history. There are really many ways to target it.

The best way is to stick to the city. No matter how strong the cavalry is, he cannot reach the city wall. If the cavalry really wants to attack the city with a strong head, then he can kill him at will. Unfortunately, this advantage was dug by Mo Zizai and was easily abandoned.

In addition to leaning on the city to stick to it, the best way is to use light cavalry. Light cavalry is more mobility than heavy cavalry. Flying kites from a long range can kill heavy cavalry with extremely poor mobility. Unfortunately, they do not have light cavalry in their hands, so this method obviously doesn't work.

In addition to these methods, it is to use elite troops to defeat heavy cavalry. As long as you have a strong enough elite force in your hand, you can face the heavy cavalry's rushing forward without changing your face. Then, as long as you sacrifice your life in front of the formation to block the first wave of heavy cavalry charges and reduce their speed, the heavy cavalry that loses mobility will become iron turtles without lethality and be slaughtered.

Unfortunately, Hu Ming glanced at the army under his command. Except for the one thousand personal guards he brought, he could barely be considered elite, and the rest would be fine if he didn't mention it.

Since these methods are not good, there is only one way left for Hu Ming, which is to disperse the formation and let them kill.

Although the heavy cavalry rushed out and no one could stop it, it consumed a lot of horsepower. They had 100,000 people, but the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry opposite only had 5,000 people. As long as the formation was dispersed and they were allowed to charge, they would charge at most two or three times, and the war horses they sat down would be weak. At that time, the so-called heavy cavalry was a team of decorations and would not pose a threat at all.

And two or three times to rush to the formation, as long as your formation is dispersed enough, how many can you kill them?

However, the formation is too wide, which is a great test for the general's command ability. After all, it is too scattered. If one fails to command, it is easy for the soldiers under his command to disperse. However, Hu Ming is not worried about this. After training under the teacher for so long, he is still confident in his command ability.

Of course, Hu Ming didn't know that Mo Zizai's Red Flame Dragon Cavalry was a bit special, nor did he know that Yang Yanzhang directly broke the trench set up by Mo Chao, resisted the horse and three lines of defense of the gun and shield soldiers directly defeated the army under Mo Chao. If he knew, he would definitely not have sent troops so rashly.

Unfortunately, Hu Ming, who had not known about the combat effectiveness of the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry, opened the city gate directly and led the 80,000 troops out of Yining City. As for the remaining 20,000 people, he left 10,000 soldiers and civilians in the city to guard the city to prevent any accidents.

"I didn't expect them to come out."

Looking at the army that was coming out in Yining City, Mo Zizai and Yang Yanzhang had no intention of taking the opportunity to launch an offensive. After all, they finally forced it out, and it would be bad if they sent troops to scare them back.

"They don't have a choice."

Yang Yanzhang was not surprised by this situation. The people in the city were unhappy. Under the threat of flooding Yining City, they were expected to go out of the city to fight.

"Prince, I'll ask you and General Han to plunder the formation for me in this battle. These soldiers will be handed over to the Chiyan Dragon Cavalry."

Although Yang Yanzhang was kind to the point, his actual meaning was that he didn't want Mo Zizai to stop fighting. After all, Mo Zizai was the prince and was still the real controller of the Great Zhou Dynasty. What's wrong with always following these generals to charge into battle?

If something really happens, he will not be able to make up for it even if he kills the people from Yining City.

"OK."

Mo Zizai shrugged, not caring, “As long as you are sure, it doesn’t matter whether I do it or not.”

"Just 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers."

After fighting several battles, Yang Yanzhang's vision has now been very high. The soldiers of Yining City were not taken seriously by him at all. "Prince, let's take a moment here. I'll capture Hu Ming back to you."

After saying that, Yang Yanzhang bowed and said he slowly came out of the formation with the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry.

“It’s great to be young.”

Looking at Yang Yanzhang's aura of looking down on the world, Han Qu, who was beside Mo Zizai, couldn't help but sigh, "But then again, if I had such a cavalry under my command, I would be more arrogant than him."

“Haha~”

Listening to Han Qu's somewhat envious tone, Mo Zizai laughed, and then said, "The cavalry is probably not good. The red blood dragon is difficult to solve, and it is too expensive to raise. In order to build such a cavalry, the national treasury has been emptied for half. There is no need for it, so it is enough to have such a treasury."

"However, the infantry can find a way to do it."

Mo Zizai pondered for a while, then said, "After capturing Yining City, you can discuss with Yang Yanzhang and you two, continue to recruit soldiers, and try to expand the Yuzhi Army to 100,000."

"Although most of the Yuzhi army are elite nowadays, the number is too small and some cannot be implemented. If it can be expanded to 100,000 people, you two will lead one army each, so there is no need to worry about that when fighting a war."

In Mo Zizai's opinion, Yang Yanzhang and Han Qu are both capable of guarding one side. Putting the two together is a waste of their talents. Just like now, Yang Yanzhang leads troops to fight, and there is no need for Han Qu to intervene at all. He can only check for shortcomings and fill in the gaps. This is a waste of Han Qu's ability.

It would be better to expand the Yuzhi Army. At that time, each person will attack one place, which is much more convenient.

"Extend the Imperial Army to 100,000..."

Han Qu was slightly moved by the idea of ​​Mo Zizai's trust and planning to lead the army alone, but after pondering for a while, he still rejected Mo Zizai's plan, "Prince, rash expansion is not a good choice."

"The 10,000 soldiers recruited from Zhaoyuan City have already lowered the overall strength of the Yuzhi Army. If they continue to recruit, the Yuzhi Army may not be able to exert their original strength."

"If the prince is really willing to expand his army, then he will think that it is better to set up another army and not to be confused with the Yuzhi Army, so as not to affect the combat effectiveness of the Yuzhi Army."

"Another army?"

After thinking for a while, Mo Zizai nodded slowly, "It's good."

The Imperial Army has become a system, and it is not appropriate to add people to it again and again. It is better to establish a single army as Han Qu said.

"Since that's the case, the Yuzhi Army will be handed over to Yang Yanzhang, and you will be responsible for the newly established army."

"As for the treatment, it is slightly inferior to the Yuzhi Army, but in terms of cultivation, the treatment can be the same as the Yuzhi Army."

What Mo Zizai mentioned in cultivation refers to the accelerator. Han Qu also heard what he meant and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He originally thought that Mo Zizai's means of accelerating cultivation could be limited, and at first he did not think that the newly established army could also accelerate, but he did not expect that Mo Zizai would make it directly to him. For him, this was better than any promise.

"If this is the case, then after going back, we have to consider how to defeat Zheng, Wei and Lu in the future."

Han Quqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and joked with Mo Zizai with a smile. As for the upcoming battle in front of him, neither he nor Mo Zizai were at all worried.
