The Invincible Sixth Prince
Chapter 1448 Borrowing Troops
An hour later, Yun Zheng and the generals discussed the plan to attack Gongbu.
The army first marched towards Gongbu, carrying food and a small amount of baggage.
Once they were within a hundred miles of Gongbu, they would use Xiao Qin's Seven Tiger Cavalry as the vanguard and raid Gongbu at the fastest speed, surround Gongbu and cut off its possibility of seeking help.
The 20,000 infantrymen under Xiao Dingwu were divided into two. One group served as their right wing, keeping an eye on the direction of Lobsang Tenzin's troops, and the other served as the main force to attack the city.
Zeng Guang led the fully replenished 10,000-man army as the left-wing army.
Yun Zheng led the personal guards and five thousand infantry as the central army.
Xiao Jian'an's 6,000 troops were left behind in Ganci, responsible for guarding and reorganizing the prisoners.
Fearing that Xiao Jianan lacked experience, Yun Zheng also selected two young commanders from his own guards to assist him.
When necessary, Xiao Jianan would lead his troops and the captives to provide food and fodder for the army in front. When their support was needed, no matter how they were organized, they had to move forward.
Puwang served as Xiao Dingwu's deputy general, and his son Gongbaza served as Qin Qihu's deputy general.
All troops should rest for two days and make dry food as soon as possible.
They need to advance quickly and cannot carry too much food.
But as long as we capture Gongbu City, food and fodder will not be a problem.
After deciding on the attack strategy, Yun Zheng asked the generals to go down and prepare.
"Do you have the urge to curse?"
After everyone left, Miaoyin couldn't help but ask Yun Zheng with a smile.
"well enough!"
Yun Zheng smiled calmly, "After all, this is their first time fighting with me. It's normal that they don't understand my style and habits! We just need to fight a few more battles!"
For now, he is generally satisfied with the army under his command.
There are just a few minor issues occasionally.
But it's harmless.
At least he doesn't need to worry about who will try to disobey him.
In fact, it's also his own fault.
If he had given the order directly, these incidents would not have happened at all.
He himself wanted to train these generals, so before making a decision, he would let them discuss with each other first, and he would then come up with some ideas and be responsible for reviewing them.
If you want to train everyone, you have to accept these problems at the beginning.
These generals have no problems at all, do they still need him to train?
"You are quite open-minded."
Miaoyin smiled and asked, "Are you really not going to wait any longer?"
"What are you waiting for?"
Yun Zheng asked with a smile.
"What do you say?"
Miaoyin scolded: "Are you just going to give up the chance to pick on the weak?"
If they had waited a few more days, perhaps they would have waited for the reinforcements sent by Xiqu and defeated the enemy's reinforcements first, which would have not only trained the troops but also given the enemy a warning.
“Isn’t Gongbu a soft persimmon?”
Yun Zheng didn't take it seriously and said arrogantly, "In my eyes, they are all soft persimmons!"
According to Puwang, there are less than 10,000 troops in the entire Gongbu.
As for those slaves, Yun Zheng simply ignored them.
If this isn’t a soft persimmon, then what is it?
"Tsk tsk..."
Miaoyin smiled and said, "I don't know who was thinking about attacking Xiqu's reinforcements the other day."
"Cough cough..."
Yun Zheng coughed twice, showed his palm, and stared at Miaoyin with a smirk on his face, "You want to try my family rules again, right?"
Seeing Yun Zheng's rogue look, Miaoyin not only did not hide, but stuck to Yun Zheng's body, looking at Yun Zheng charmingly, "Husband, is it okay if I am wrong?"
Listening to her sweet voice, Yun Zheng couldn't help but shout "fairy" in his heart.
……
Su Zan and his son did not bring too many followers.
In just three and a half days, Suzan and his son arrived in Gongpo City, exhausted.
King Fa Qiang warmly entertained Su Zan and his son in Gongbu City.
Taking this opportunity, Su Zan also asked King Fa Qiang about the preparations for the 5,000 reinforcements.
Su Zan planned to go directly to Ganci with 5,000 reinforcements.
When this matter was mentioned, King Fa Qiang immediately began to complain: "Prime Minister, it's not that we, the Fa Qiang, are unwilling to send troops, we just don't have many troops left!"
The eight thousand troops he has now are to guard Gongbu!
Moreover, these eight thousand troops are not only the city defense troops, but also include his personal guards and the palace guards of his small palace!
This is his old nest!
It shouldn't be too much to leave 8,000 soldiers to guard it, right?
In order to support the eastern defense line, many of his troops have been withdrawn.
If another 5,000 troops were to be withdrawn, all his personal guards would have to go to defend the city!
"I know the king's difficulties."
Su Zan sighed and said, "But now the situation is critical. We must defend Ganci. Otherwise, once the enemy seizes Ganci and attacks us, they will be able to move freely! At that time, what's the point of holding such a small number of troops in your hands?"
"This……"
King Fa Qiang was speechless, but he was still unwilling in his heart.
He was supportive enough for Chimpu.
But no matter how much he supports Qinpu, he has to keep some men in his hands, right?
He can't just hand over all his troops to Qinpu, right?
Otherwise, if Qinpu wanted to harm him, wouldn't he have no chance to resist at all?
But what Su Zan said makes sense!
If the enemy captures Ganci and attacks, the Fa Qiang will be the first to bear the brunt!
If Daqian really wanted to take action, it would be difficult for him to defend the city with the few troops he had. They could only protect him while he escaped to Xiquwang City.
"How about I give the Prime Minister two thousand troops, and ask the nobles in the city to offer five thousand slaves, so that the Prime Minister can have seven thousand troops?"
After hesitating for a long time, King Fa Qiang showed his utmost sincerity.
"This……"
Su Zan thought for a moment and said, "How about this! Your Majesty, give me three thousand troops and two thousand slaves! However, you have to equip these two thousand slaves with weapons!"
What's the use of five thousand slaves?
Aren’t there enough slave troops in Ganci?
How big a difference is there between having 5,000 more slave soldiers and 5,000 less slave soldiers?
However, if there were an additional 3,000 armored troops, that would be a different story.
Moreover, these troops were the ones sent by King Fa Qiang to guard the royal city, so the armor on them could not be too bad.
King Fa Qiang thought for a long time, and finally agreed reluctantly: "Okay, then I'll listen to you, Prime Minister! Prime Minister, this is the last bit of troops I have..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Su Zan bowed and saluted: "Don't worry, your Majesty, these troops are still yours, no one can swallow up your troops! Even Puwang who guards Ganci is your son-in-law, what do you have to worry about?"
Su Zan gave King Fa Qiang a reassurance and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Xiqu’s military strength has reached its limit!
Now, let alone the royal cities of various tribes, even the royal city of Xiqu has only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses.
Any failure will consume the manpower of Xiqu.
Any failure could lead to the Xiqu tribe surrendering to the enemy.
"Yes Yes!"
King Fa Qiang showed a bitter smile and said, "Before noon tomorrow, these five thousand troops must be handed over to the Prime Minister!"
"Then there's King Lao."
Su Zan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "If you have dry food, please prepare more for them! I have to march quickly..."
King Fa Qiang moved his lips slightly, hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed with a helpless look on his face...
