I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Cheng Jingwei didn't seem surprised, he dragged Luo Shixing's horse back and sighed, "Hey, this is too weak."

Generally, when people feel pressure, there are two manifestations. One is that although they are under a lot of pressure, they are still very rational and can calmly analyze which method is the most appropriate.

The other is to collapse directly, regardless of it, just to have a good time.

Obviously Pibocheng is the latter.

Luo Shixing was very dissatisfied and said: "Can such a person be sent to govern Pibo City? Can Tubo still do it?"

If Cheng Jingwei's strategy worked, they would take Pibo City at the least cost, at most they would consume more food and grass, but compared with the lives of soldiers, that little food and grass would be nothing.

Human life cannot be bought with money. Even if you say it cold-bloodedly, their population in Lingnan is small. The birth rate has risen in recent years, but it is hard to say how many of these children will grow up smoothly. More than ten years, so one counts as one, and they are all precious.

Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei didn't rush back, the Tubo army and Da Zhou's army had just engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

Luo Shixing searched around but didn't see Wang Antong. The adjutant next to Wang Antong said cautiously: "Wang Sima took the lead and led people to the front."

The corner of Luo Shixing's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. After all, Wang Antong's behavior was a different way to motivate the Xuanyi Army, which made everyone rush forward excitedly.

"They were not motivated by Gou Zi, they were there to grab credit." Cheng Jingwei ruthlessly punctured Luo Shixing's beautiful imagination.

Luo Shixing waved his hand: "That's not a problem."

No matter what the soldiers think, as long as they can fight and win the battle, isn't that enough?

What's more, if you don't have a little bit of money, why do you let people work hard for you?

Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei found a high position to observe the entire battlefield - standing on the cloud cart.

No way, although there are many mountains in Tubo, the city must not be built in the mountains. Most of the surrounding areas are flat land. It is not easy to find a commanding height. In the end, they can only choose this method.

Luo Shixing stood on it, squinted his eyes and looked a little puzzled, and said, "Is there so many soldiers in Pibo City?"

This number is more than he and Cheng Jingwei brought together. After the two of them meet, the number of soldiers is nearly [-], which is quite a lot. Why does it look like there are more people than them on the other side?

Cheng Jing raised his chin slightly: "Take a closer look at the weapons they are holding."

Luo Shixing took a serious look, only to find that many people were holding sticks or agricultural tools, and some even held brooms.

There are also some Tubo people who rushed out riding oxen and sheep.

At first glance, it was a group of rabble.

Luo Shixing raised his eyebrows: "This is... letting ordinary people go to the battlefield?"

Cheng Jingwei said: "The Tubo side... still retains the habits of some nomads. Except for the old and weak, women and children, everyone else can become a warrior at any time."

Strictly speaking, they are not ordinary people, but because of the spread of Sinology to the West, they have changed somewhat, which has led to these Tubo people being tougher than ordinary people, but they are not the same as those of the nomads.

After Luo Shixing heard this, he didn't say anything, but just stood there looking at it seriously, and felt that something was wrong when he looked at him.

There are not many garrisons in Pibo City, but the population is large. If all the young and strong go to the battlefield, they may not be able to take advantage of it.

It is true that the Xuanyi Army has advanced weapons, but the problem is that it is difficult to strike four times with two fists. No matter how sharp the knife in hand is, it is hard to say if many people come to fight at the same time.

It is true that one counts as ten, but that is under certain conditions. With the level of chaos on the battlefield today, it is impossible to know where a stick will come from, and it is impossible to guard against.

Luo Shixing turned to look at Cheng Jingwei and asked, "Can you win?"

Cheng Jingwei pondered for a while and turned to look at the adjutant: "Go and tell Wang Antong to withdraw immediately."

He turned to look at Luo Shixing: "We can win, but it's not necessary. Our loss is greater than theirs."

Temporary victory or loss is nothing, if you can't beat Pibocheng, you are considered a loser. No one can really be invincible in any battle, even if Cheng Jingwei has the experience of his previous life.

Luo Shixing nodded. He is more realistic. If it really doesn't work, he can accept it even if he doesn't beat him.

Anyway, it is impossible for a single failure to erase all their credit. Even if the court really wanted to hold them accountable, it would be a big deal to resign and not do anything.

As long as you are not afraid of losing your job, there is nothing to worry about.

Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei returned to the big tent, and Wang Antong also led the team back.

At this time, Wang Gouzi looked downcast. If there were ears on his head, they might have drooped.

Luo Shixing took a closer look at him, and found that Wang Antong's forehead was swollen. He couldn't help but asked, "How did you do it? Let the doctor show you."

Wang Antong touched his forehead, grinned in pain and said, "I was thrown with a stone, it's nothing."

After speaking, he lowered his head again, feeling very depressed.

Because of living with wolves for a period of time, Wang Antong's five senses are sharper than ordinary people. However, the scene was so chaotic that even he was recruited.

Seeing him like this, Luo Shixing couldn't help poking Cheng Jing and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? He hasn't lost before?"

Cheng Jingwei glanced at Wang Antong and said with a smile: "I have never lost in front of you."

Originally, no matter how happy Wang Antong got to his position, he didn't have to go directly to the battlefield. Before that, he hadn't been a striker for a long time.

This time, he probably wanted to show off in front of Luo Shixing. After all, Luo Shixing rarely actually went to the front line in the previous battles.

In the end, I didn't expect that the halberd fell into the sand the first time, and Gouzi almost became depressed directly.

Luo Shixing laughed, reached out and patted Wang Antong's dog's head and said, "Cheer up, your appearance like this will damage morale."

Wang Antong glanced back, as expected, all the soldiers under him seemed to be in mourning, as if they were losing for the first time.

In fact, they didn't count as losing, they just retreated back, and the opponent didn't dare to go too deep. After all, there were several crossbows outside the barracks that looked very dangerous.

This thing is the real magical weapon, but it is a pity that it is generally not used when the two sides are fighting.

Since it is barely considered a defeat, it is natural to have a meeting to conclude.

All the mid-level generals gathered in the big tent, and Luo Shixing found in a daze that he didn't even recognize them all.

But it's not a problem to think about it, anyway, he didn't recognize it all from the beginning.

He knows himself very well, knows what to intervene and what not to intervene, and he has never cared about the ups and downs within the army.

Of course, Cheng Jingwei would give him a look, and would tell him why these officers were promoted and why they were downgraded, but Luo Shixing basically ignored them if he saw that there was no particularly serious problem at a glance, and he might not even remember the name of the other party.

At this time, everyone was sitting in the big tent, Cheng Jingwei was about to say something when he heard deafening cheers from a distance.

Luo Shixing turned to look at Cheng Jingwei: "What are those Tubo people screaming?"

The cheers gradually turned into uniform shouts, but Luo Shixing couldn't understand what the other party said.

Cheng Jingwei listened carefully, then turned his head and said, "It's nothing important, don't worry about it."

Luo Shixing looked at him suspiciously: "Are you lying to me? When did you understand Tubo dialect?"

Wang Antong on the side immediately spoke for Cheng Jingwei: "Because those are all Tubo's curse words, the general listened to them a lot."

Cheng Jingwei: ...

He pressed the dog's head hard with no expression on his face, so don't say it if you know this kind of thing in your heart!

Luo Shixing understood that he was swearing, so it's okay.

Everyone looked at him quietly, for fear that Luo Shixing would hit him back if he got angry and impulsive.

It turned out that this young and ambitious Duke of Yue seemed to be very calm, without the slightest hint of anger and impulsiveness, he did not look like a young man at all.

Luo Shixing held a bamboo cup in his hands and said slowly, "The other party has launched a mass offensive, so we have to change our strategy."

Cheng Jing looked at Luo Shixing with a slight smile and said, "It seems that there is no need to be soft-handed now."

Luo Shixing put down the bamboo cup and made a final decision: "Use gunpowder, pay attention to controlling the dosage."

They just didn't want to use gunpowder to attack the city before. Although the opposite city wall is short, it is actually very strong. If they want to explode it, they must use a lot of it.

They were also somewhat restrained for fear of causing aftershocks.

But now it's different, Tubo has already taken the initiative to call, and they just need to bomb people.

Luo Shixing still insisted on not bombing civilians, but if those civilians took up weapons, they would become soldiers in Luo Shixing's eyes, and no matter whether the opponent had received professional training or not, they didn't have to keep their hands.

Cheng Jingwei immediately arranged for people to prepare.

The morale of the Tubo side was high after a victory, and they even felt that they could not only break through, but even repel the Dazhou army!

As Luo Shixing expected, they quickly launched a second attack, as if they didn't want to give Da Zhou's soldiers too much time to adjust.

This time Luo Shixing didn't go, no matter how many times, the scene after using gunpowder made him a little uncomfortable, and he didn't want his discomfort to affect Cheng Jingwei, so he just didn't go.

He just needs to wait here for news.

Whenever gunpowder is used as a big killer, it will be a dimensionality reduction blow to the wars of this era.

In order to lure the opponent to open the city gate, Cheng Jingwei even lost two games very cunningly, and then retreated while fighting, making the opponent think that there is an opportunity to catch up.

Cheng Jingwei has a good grasp of the heat, will not make the other party suspicious, and can also make the other party be blinded by the momentary victory.

When he felt that it was about the same, Wang Antong and the blasting team they specially trained would be released.

When the sound of artillery fire sounded, there was basically no suspense in this battle.

When Cheng Jingwei came back, he could even ask casually: "Do you want to visit Pibo City?"

Luo Shixing always felt that what he said was like going on a trip and asking him if he wanted to go somewhere.

"Go!" The customs and customs of Tubo are still worth seeing, after all, this may be the territory of the Great Zhou in the future, and he can definitely make a plan for the harmonious coexistence of the Great Zhou people!
