From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 160 Sending You a Baby

When the rooster crowed in the early morning of the vertical sun, there was already little smoke in Zhao County, and all the soldiers, including Zhao Tai, left quietly after eating.

Xi Zhicai stayed behind to command and dispatch, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and no one knew whether the other two counties would send troops when they attacked Julu.

If you meet a general with excellent military ability, before Zhao Tai captures Changtao, you decisively send troops to block his back, and directly make dumplings for him, and there are no other troops to stop him at this time, isn't it like a joke? .

No worries is the best news for frontline operations.

From early morning to noon, Zhao Tai came to Changtao with soldiers and horses. As Gao Ai said before, the soldiers on the city wall were all strong and powerful people, and the crossbow exuding a ferocious aura in their hands was brand new, so it was definitely made Not long.

The aristocratic family teamed up with the court and local officials, really regardless of the cost.

In addition, there are three ballistas placed on the wall of Litao City. The crossbow arrows, which are as thick as babies' arms and are no different from spears, make people's hair stand on end just by looking at them. It may be an exaggeration to say that they can shoot through the entire battlefield with one arrow, but if they are used to their full potential. Normally, it would be no problem to dress a dozen people into candied haws.

A crossbow bolt is a rifle, and a crossbow cannon is really a cannon.

Normally, locals are not allowed to possess crossbows, and even the specifications of strong crossbows are restricted. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, crossbows have been strictly controlled.

But the current situation is obviously abnormal. Even if it violates the system, they can't care so much.

"Yikang, are you saying that you should call in directly before eating, or call in after eating?"

Zhao Tai put down the binoculars, and said to Gao Ai who was standing beside him on horseback.

Behind them is an orderly array of [-] soldiers who are motionless. A total of [-] troops have left Changshan. Now they have brought [-] to Chang Tao, leaving [-] for Xi Zhicai.

Is ten thousand a lot?That must be a lot, even five thousand is sometimes a lot.

In ancient cities, the number of guarding troops in a big city can reach [-], and in a small city, there are [-] or several hundred. As the center of a county, the city must be large enough, and the permanent army must be at least [-].

But now there must be more than [-] people in Changtao. According to investigations, there are more than [-] troops in Changtao, and Zhao Tai's [-] is not as many as the opponent.

In siege, it is important to surround the city ten times, attack it five times, and divide it twice. Zhao Tai did not even have twice the opponent's strength, but the opponent was [-] times his own. Normal wars are not fought like this, let alone Siege the city.

But Gao Ai didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhao Tai's words. The art of war sometimes depends on the situation, and it obviously didn't apply here.

"My lord, the weather is clear and bright today. It is not necessary to set up camp, but our newcomers are all tired. How about taking a rest and filling our stomachs with some rations? Only when we are full will we have the strength to kill the enemy. How about during this period?" Persuading the soldiers in the city to surrender, if you can conquer the city without spending a single soldier, that would be great."

Gao Ai didn't take the enemy seriously, but he was unambiguous in his actions. The catapults were set up as soon as they arrived and stood in a row in front of the army, with explosives ready to be dropped at any time.

Without these preparations, if the opponent suddenly feels that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, even if they rush over with hundreds of cavalry, the offensive and defensive sides may have to change positions.

"To persuade you to surrender? You can try it at this point. Let's do what you said first, but if you persuade us to surrender, I have something better that I can use."

The good things he said, it really wasn't that good, at least for him.

It's not a high-end product, it's just a loudspeaker, the kind that can record and play in a loop.

Things can be seen everywhere in modern streets and alleys, in shops and stalls.

Bringing this is purely for the convenience of Zhao Tai's propaganda. Now, it seems to be a good idea to use it to persuade him to surrender.

Hearing that there are good things, Gao Ai can't help but look at Zhao Tai. For him, no matter what Zhao Tai puts out, it will be of great use, and there is no such thing that can't be used.

"Could it be that the lord has some lethal weapon to take out?"

"That's right, maybe this thing is more effective than a mass-killing weapon. Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top, and subduing the enemy without fighting is the top strategy."

The normal method of persuading someone to surrender is to send someone to the city to shout a message. As long as there is some sense of integrity and the other party is not offended, the life of the person shouting is guaranteed.

This is called an envoy, and the existence of an envoy is linked to the identity of the leader to a certain extent.

That is to say, those sent by the general represent the general, and those sent by the emperor represent the emperor.

Insulting the envoy is equivalent to insulting the person in power it represents, and killing it is the same.

It is because of this consideration that the two armies do not fight each other, and if they really fight, they will not die.

With Zhao Tai's current strength, although he offended the family and the imperial court, if he sent an envoy, Zhao Tai would guarantee that nothing would happen to him. If something went wrong, it would not be as simple as a reform.

In a war, it is normal to have more casualties. You said that your family was targeted, and no one was left?That's because I didn't manage the soldiers well, and I will discipline them well later.

There are many people who can live after the reform, but if you want to slap Zhao Tai in the face, even the reform will be saved.

Zhao Tai said that the loudspeaker is easy to use, but when it is really necessary to use this thing, people with weak psychological quality may not be able to use it well.

Especially if it is used in public, as long as you dare to use it once, your psychological quality and social skills will rise in a straight line.

Zhao Tai's psychological quality must be excellent, and he is not afraid of embarrassing emotions.

Then he started recording and shouting in the eyes of all the soldiers. The voice was quite loud, but Litao couldn't hear it clearly. After all, he was several hundred meters away.

"Listen, people inside. I advise you to open the city and surrender quickly. I am Changshan Zhao Tai and Zhao Ding'an. I am sure you all know about the reform. It is not worth working for a wealthy family. As long as you are willing to put down your weapons and surrender, our army will enter the city. At this time, the family will no longer exist, and their farm tools will be distributed to the people, their cattle will be distributed to the people, and their fields will be distributed to the people. Now that I am a soldier, but I have military pay, I think you all know how to choose."

Zhao Tai completed the recording under the eyes of everyone, but everyone looked at Zhao Tai with strange eyes, as if they knew him again.

Although every sentence is true, it sounds like there is an unpleasant sense of immediacy.

They didn't know what was wrong, but Zhao Tai knew it very well. That's the way they recruited workers. If Zhao Tai hadn't restrained himself a little, he would have wanted to say that the salary is good and the benefits are high.

As for the persuasion, don't deal with those hypocrisy. His persuasion is aimed at the soldiers who were born in the common people, not the generals or the aristocratic families and officials in the city. They have nothing to persuade them to surrender. Diehard people will not listen to Zhao Tai's words.

"The lord is really, ingenious, informal."

Gao Ai held his breath for a long time before he said such a sentence, but he also knew that if this word was passed on to the ears of the soldiers and the common people, there would be the effect they wanted to see.

"As long as you always consider the problem from the perspective of the common people, and state the pros and cons in the simplest terms, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. You can send someone to deliver this to the other side's city wall, and that's it."

Zhao Tai showed Gao Ai how to use the speaker several times. Except for the trouble of recording, the other steps couldn't be easier.

Only people who follow Zhao Tai can accept this kind of novelty calmly, and there won't be too strong reactions in the military, but the speaker that can play the same sentence repeatedly is really eye-opening.

"This object is very exquisite, but if it is sent to the other party's city wall like this, what if it is damaged, the general can't guarantee that this object will be unharmed."

"Don't worry about whether it will be damaged, there are as many of these things as you want."

Hearing how much Gao Ai wants to have is relieved, and the degree of cherishing the speakers has dropped a lot.

The lord will definitely not joke about this matter, so there is nothing to worry about.

Then Gao Ai picked one of the soldiers, and after teaching him how to use it, he rode directly to the city of Changtao.

Guo Dian, the governor of Julu County, was standing at the top of the city, looking at Zhao Tai's army with a cloudy expression on his face.

"Although Zhao Ding'an's soldiers are sharp and the explosives are strong, he can restrain them with a strong crossbow. He knows this. In the end, he is still leading the army to attack, and it is still the seat of the county. I don't know what to rely on. .”

No one dares to underestimate Zhao Tai's means, since explosives can be produced, there is no guarantee that he has no other means, otherwise he would not appear here.

Whether it was a bluff or some kind of strategy to use, Guo Dian didn't know at all.

"If you plan frequently, we just have to stick to it, and we can't do anything. The explosives can't be used, and there are no more than [-] troops. Outside of Changshan, there are all strong cities and strong passes. It's only your fault that you don't leave room. .”

It was a pity for Zhao Tai to give up such a big advantage, but it would not be like this if he slackened his mouth, but this is not a kind of luck. If Zhao Taisong fell in love with a good family, the trouble would be the court and officials like them.

"Prefect, the other party sent a man and a horse. They should be here to persuade them to surrender."

When the general defending the city reported to Guo Dian, he also saw the cavalry pawn galloping towards him.

General?He had never heard of Zhao Tai's army doing this when they went on an expedition. They were all direct attacks, and there was no fine tradition of fighting generals at all.

People are too lazy to use their strategies with you, attacking the heart and the city is just a matter of thought.

Moreover, there is no technical content in attacking the heart at all. I just ask you whether to surrender or not, and if you don't surrender, you will attack by force.It should be called a threat, although a threat can also be called an attack.

"Let him come here, don't hurt his life."

In fact, no one would do anything without Guo Dian's words. No one is willing to fight against Zhao Tai, including the aristocratic family. Everything is forced.

"At the order of the prefect, I came here to deliver a message to prefect Guo and everyone in the city. The prefect said that the day when the city will be destroyed is only a short period of time, and stubborn resistance will only increase casualties. If prefect Guo is willing to surrender, the suffering of the military disaster will be avoided. I hope Taishou Guo will serve as a soldier, and the safety of the people should be more considered. You can give the prefect a quarter of an hour to think about it. After a quarter of an hour, don’t blame him for being unpredictable. I will send another thing to Guo Taishou, and I will leave.”

Guo Dian was stunned, he left without saying a word?
And what's the matter with that thing on the ground, it can still talk by itself.

Things that transcended the times appeared in front of the ancients, and the sense of shock was huge.

The existence of the speakers was incomprehensible, but the words that started to play in a loop made Guo Dian and others' faces change drastically.
