At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Even if it looks mediocre, if an army of 1 people can practice mediocrity to the extreme, it will be indestructible and invincible.

The heavy cavalry is powerful. The tanks of this era are extremely fierce, but the cost is too high. Raising one heavy cavalry is equivalent to raising dozens of infantry, and it takes a long time to feel distressed if one is lost.

The financial pressure is too great.

So at the beginning, King Zhuren felt that there was nothing unexpected, and the generals and think tanks around him also felt that there was nothing unexpected, so they said it didn't matter.

But when Wang Haibo really helped them demonstrate, they realized that this easy-to-understand military formation is not that simple.

The eyes and the brain understand it, but the hands and feet don't understand it. After watching the demonstration in person, I have a new understanding.

"That's how it was used."

"Such a long weapon can indeed play a big role, and can attack the enemy first."

"And the enemy doesn't have such a long weapon, so they can't attack us."

"Perhaps we can try to equip our army with such weapons."

The generals and think tanks discussed with each other and felt that such an approach was very meaningful and could be tried.

They have tasted the sweetness of the Ring Shou Dao, and now this spear looks very powerful.

If they can cooperate well, the field strength of the Zhuchari army will be further improved, and then Zheluo Kingdom will be completely unable to compete with the Zhuchari army in the field.

King Zhunian was overjoyed and looked at Wang Haibo.

"Were you ever a soldier?"

"Yes, to be precise, I am an officer."

Wang Haibo stated his identity without hesitation, and then lied: "However, I left the army a few years ago and used some connections to become a maritime merchant. I wanted to make money, and the people who assisted me also wanted to make money, so We hit it off.

He provided me with goods, and I helped him go to sea to work, and we shared the money we got. That's it, so I have a lot of experience in the army and war. If there is anything I can help, I am willing to help. "

The king of Zhuan nodded.

Those who can go to sea to do business these days, if they don't have any official or military connections in the host country, don't even think about it, he still understands this.

So he dispelled some doubts about Wang Haibo, hoping that Wang Haibo could help his army practice this tactic.

Wang Haibo readily agreed, and gave a batch of spears he brought to the king for free, and then formed a spear team of about 20 people, with a group of shield soldiers and a group of swordsmen, forming a loose army. array.

"This is probably the army formation we used for fighting. The shield soldiers defended in front with their big shields on their backs. The spearmen stretched out their spears from the gap between the shields and stabbed each other. After the two sides fought fiercely for a while, the battle between each other When the distance keeps shortening, the knife hand will suddenly burst out, rushing towards the opponent, and slashing the enemy at close range."

Wang Haibo briefly introduced his training methods, and then asked this small army to act according to his description.

The spear was at the front, and the large shield protected the spearman, while the other troops trying to attack the army formation all showed embarrassment when they saw such a long spear.

Go ahead, for fear of being poked into a sieve.

If you don't rush, you don't know what to do.

Facing this hedgehog-like army formation, they were in a dilemma.

The king and the generals became happier and more excited the more they watched. They felt that if such a model could be extended to the army, it would be very effective in improving the combat effectiveness of the army.

And it can effectively reduce the casualties of one's own army.

Yes, it is like that!

The king decided to try it out, and ordered three hundred spears first.

The price of the spear is much more expensive than the ring knife, because it needs high-quality wood and the same steel, requires good craftsmanship, and takes a long time to complete.

Although it felt that it was indeed a lot more expensive, but considering that after getting the equipment, he could plunder the Zheluo country better and earn back the capital with interest, the king didn't feel bad and agreed to the deal.

Wang Haibo was very happy.

Another big hit.

After the deal was finalized, the king entertained Wang Haibo for dinner. During the meal, he didn't know whether it was a temptation or boredom. He chatted with Wang Haibo about Zhe Luoguo being a turtle.

He said that he sent people to provoke him several times in a row, and the people of Zheluo Kingdom were unwilling to leave the city, so he couldn't find a chance to fight in the field, and he was very helpless.

Wang Haibo laughed out loud.

The king was puzzled.

"why are you laughing?"

"This matter is not difficult to deal with."

Wang Haibo said with a smile: "If they don't come out, they won't come out. We can send troops to surround their city, seal the surrounding area, and prevent them from coming out. They stay inside and need food, drink, fire, fuel and water. Their city can How much to store? How long is it enough to use?

Even if they can save a lot, as long as they surround their city, they will definitely send people to rescue them. Then you will stand by the city and fight with the army they came to rescue. Isn't this enough to fight in the field? "

The king was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed.

"Yes! Isn't that all right?"

The king immediately called for the generals and gave them the latest instructions.

The generals felt that it was reasonable to do so, and they could give full play to their field advantages.

But some people think that doing so will consume a lot of food and grass, and the requirements for logistics are very high. If the other party directly cuts off their logistics...

"As long as you take the lead in defeating the opponent's main force, and protecting the grain road is the most important thing in launching a war, if the grain road can't be guaranteed, why fight?"

Wang Haibo put forward his own suggestions and ideas.

King Zhuren felt that what he said made sense.

Because of this kind of thing, he backed down, didn't want to fight at all, and handed over the land to Zheluo Kingdom.

All in all, their border cities must be captured, expand their territories, and establish their prestige, so that they can completely gain the upper hand and hit Zheluo Kingdom hard!

King Zhunian was very excited, and decided to organize this battle for aid at all costs.

Subsequently, the Zhuren Kingdom concentrated an army of 1 people, of which 1000 were elite soldiers, and they were used as trump cards to defeat the enemy to support the main force. The Zhuren King even cut his own guard in half and handed it over to the general. Going out to fight, one can imagine how much he attaches importance to this battle.

A large number of slaves were arranged to deliver food and grass to the army.

A large number of free civilians were also recruited to ensure the logistics of the army and ensure that the battle could continue.

In order to further gain the favor of the other party, Wang Haibo is willing to sell them the weapons and equipment that he promised them at a price of [-]% after getting Guo Jun's consent, so as to save them some money.

King Zhuren was very happy, so he placed an order to buy more weapons to show his return.

Of course, the more you buy at this time, the more you earn.

He is not a fool, he must spend a lot of money to buy it, no matter whether it is expensive or not, as long as he can win the war and loot enough things, it will be blood money!

Blood is worth it!

With an order, the army of the Zhuren Kingdom set off to the border city of the Zheluo Kingdom.

This time, King Zhunian personally led the army, and brought Wang Haibo with him as his [special military advisor].

King Zhunian thinks that Wang Haibo's military talent is not bad, if possible, give him some benefits, let him help with advice, and deepen the relationship, isn't it great!

Wang Haibo thinks it's okay, following the past can ensure the victory of the Zhuan Kingdom, which is very important in order to meet Guo Jun's requirements.

Moreover, they can also take the opportunity to observe the combat methods of the Zhunian army, see their combat capabilities and real national potential, and lay the foundation for future crusade against them and annexation of them.

So the two sides reached an agreement in this wave, and Wang Haibo joined the army of Zhunian Kingdom with a dozen soldiers of the Wei Army who pretended to be guards.

On the other side, King Jerome was very annoyed when he first learned that the Eastern Maritime Merchant had rejected their transaction request, and then he immediately learned that the Zhunian Kingdom was about to send a large army to attack the border city. military council.

It was pointed out at the meeting that they needed to ensure that the border city would not fall. Once it fell, the Zhunian Kingdom would have complete control over the military initiative and could annex their territory and population, which in turn would become their own power.

Then the problem becomes bigger, that is, lose the teacher and lose the ground, lose the fiasco, lose face, lose prestige, and even lose the position.

This is a situation he cannot accept anyway.

At the end of the military meeting, the army of the Zhuren Kingdom had invaded the border of the Zheluo Kingdom, and surrounded their city according to Wang Haibo's tactics, and the city was completely surrounded, but they did not attack the city, but set up various obstacles to prevent the city people come out.

The defenders in the city tried to resist on the city wall, but the long-range weapons could not reach the chariot army outside the city, so they could only stare wide-eyed.

It's not that no one has proposed to go out of the city to attack the Zhuan army, but firstly, the opponent has set up so many obstacles, and secondly, the opponent has a lot of troops. If they really want to fight, they might lose the city.

The guards couldn't bear the responsibility of losing the city, so they could only choose to close the city and stick to it, resolutely not to attack.

Although they were unable to communicate with the outside world, the surrounding investigators learned of the situation here and quickly reported it to King Jerome.

That's it, there's nothing more to say.

There is no other way but support.

Chapter 1502 One Thousand 440 Second Wang Haibo Thinks This World Is Crazy

Although I don't know why the opponent didn't attack the city, but since the city is besieged, it is a siege.

So he issued a mobilization order to mobilize a large number of troops, and called on other places to send troops to rescue the border together, to ensure that the army of the Zhuian Kingdom was defeated and the important cities on the border were kept, otherwise the entire Zheluo Kingdom would be in danger.

Crap, everyone knows it's dangerous.

The army of the Zheluo Kingdom began to mobilize and moved closer to the border cities, trying to lift the siege of the border cities by the Zhuan army.

King Zhunian was overjoyed when he heard the news, and praised Wang Haibo fiercely.

"Your method is really great. As long as you surround their city, you can force them to fight us in the wild, and you can wipe out their army on a large scale. As long as the army is wiped out, what is this city?"

Saying this, King Zhu Nian suddenly had a new idea.

After defeating the Zheluo Kingdom and occupying the local cities, they can also get a lot of people and prisoners of war, as well as a lot of land. Although they make a lot of money, it takes time to digest.

In the process of digestion, a lot of food, money and other resources are required, and these things are in short supply now.

But at the same time, they also need a lot of ordnance from the Wei Empire to support their powerful combat effectiveness, so their hands are a little tight.

If you insist on saying what is rich, of course, it is the human resources as prisoners of war.

He wanted to talk to Wang Haibo about using the captured prisoners as currency to trade arms with them.

"Materials and money, etc., we actually need them very much, and we need these things even more to occupy these places in the future. The only thing we are rich now is people. We have captured many prisoners of war. I wonder if you need these prisoners?

They can do a lot of things and use them at will, so don’t worry about exhausting them. The place where you live should also need a lot of people to help you do things, right?You should also need women, right?Is it okay to use these prisoners of war to exchange weapons with you? "

King Zhunian looked at Wang Haibo expectantly.

Wang Haibo didn't expect that the king's thinking was so active, and he thought of exchanging weapons with prisoners of war so easily.

This is of course possible. Guo Jun has always been short of people, and now he can exchange weapons for prisoners of war. Wouldn't it be flattering?

But you can't agree directly, you have to bargain and maximize your benefits.

Wang Haibo has been a merchant for so long, so he has some experience in trading.

He pretended to think for a while.

"Of course we need manpower, but on the other hand, we need to take care to manage these people, prevent them from escaping, and feed them to prevent them from starving to death too quickly. These are expenses, so..."

Wang Haibo smiled: "Of course it is possible, but we need to discuss the amount of exchange."

King Zhu charian breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good, after this battle is over, let's have a good discussion."

"it is good."

The two made an agreement.

The agreement was made, but at this moment, King Zhu Ren also had some other thoughts in his heart.

For example - if they can master the forging method of this magical weapon, wouldn't they need to spend so much money to buy their weapons?

Although this idea only popped up at that moment, it did pop up.

Then, he put all his thoughts on the upcoming siege tactics.

They seized favorable terrain around them, dug tunnel traps, and forced Zheluo soldiers to attack from the bottom up while they occupied a condescending posture.

In the three days since the battle started, almost [-] soldiers of the Zheluo Kingdom were killed, and even more were injured, but there was no progress.

More importantly, the people of Zhunian seem to have started a partial counterattack.

The injection chariot army armed with excellent weapons counterattacked the Jerome army in groups, and defeated the Jerome army steadily.

The frontline generals tried to force the Zhuan army to retreat by attacking the grain road, but they soon discovered that this was also a trap. The opponent had already set up an ambush, and when they thought they had succeeded, the ambush troops rushed out.

Their tactic of attacking the grain road was only executed once, but it failed helplessly because they were attacked by ambushes.
