Zhao Bing remembered that a benevolent man had an ancient war database in his previous life. According to his statistics, a surprising result was obtained - more people may not necessarily win battles, and winning with less is the norm.

When observing the achievements of those famous generals, it is always confirmed that Liu Bang led five princes to attack Chu, and 560,000 people were hung by Xiang Yu in Pengcheng. During the rebellion of the seven kingdoms of Wu and Chu during the rebellion of Emperor Jing of Han, 800,000 troops were quelled by Zhou Yafu for three months. Not to mention that Wang Mang asked Wang Xun to defend Kunming with 430,000 troops, but was defeated by Liu Xiu's 17,000 troops. Wang Mang had no more troops, which directly led to the demise of the Xin Dynasty and the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In addition, there were Chibi, Guandu, Feishui, etc. Many wars at historical turning points almost won the most.

So people concluded a conclusion that "the number of people is 10,000 more, and the IQ is reduced by half." Zhao Bing analyzed and thought that it seemed reasonable. He thought that the ancient communication system was simple, basically "the transmission was yelling, and the command was yelling, and the command was rushing. The commander could not control all the movements of the army and could not command them at all, resulting in difficulties in coordination between the various troops. When Alexander was in the east, he had a team of 40,000 people. Every time he fought, the army fought together, and the commanders had to run away to death. Therefore, in the Battle of Gaugamira, this group of people could easily defeat the millions of troops of the Persian Empire at the cost of 2,400 deaths.

Another thing is that there are too many soldiers, and the generals are prone to being complacent, which leads to their self-confidence and underestimating the enemy. This example is a waste of time. Even an old driver like Cao Cao, who is cautious, will overturn the car in Chibi due to excessive expansion. Fu Jian's million-strong army is said to be able to "snap whips and break the flow", but he was beaten by the Xie brothers in the Feishui River and fled in panic, leaving behind the beautiful story of "the sound of wind and cranes and cranes are all soldiers" that has been passed down through the ages.

In addition, as the saying goes, "There are too many people and no work, and the more chickens, you will not lay eggs." In the war of cold weapons, you need to platoon horizontally to expand your combat area, so that the combat effectiveness of cold weapons can be exerted. Because if the soldiers behind cannot hit people, it is equivalent to not exist. Waiting for the front row to die, the morale of the rear row will be long gone. Therefore, if there are too many soldiers and no suitable venue, it is useless, which will make it even more messy and waste valuable resources.

Of course, Zhao Bing thought that the most important reason why there were so many examples of winning with fewer battles in history was probably because of the seriousness of the masses. If there were more people and fewer people, it was necessary to win. There was nothing worth bragging about at all, so naturally there was no record left. So even if the historical records were recorded, there was no capital to be famous. Perhaps this is how those who are good at fighting came from no great achievements!

Now, if the cavalry with superior forces proposed by Li Sanniang, it is not impossible to launch a continuous attack at any cost and destroy its own battle formation. Zhao Bing thought that he could not be wrong. Although it seemed a bit incredible, the frontal charge tactic of cavalry advancing in parallel had been used in the West for thousands of years, because practice has proved that this is the most effective and fiercest way of attack. Moreover, the cavalry usually faces five times the number of enemies, and sometimes even wins with one or ten. However, as he said, this also requires appropriate conditions...

"How sure is Your Majesty that you can guarantee that this battle can win more with less?" Sure enough, after hearing the emperor's "crazy words", Li Sanniang raised questions again.

"Please look!" Zhao Bing pointed to the map on the table and said, "Changlu Town is very close to Guabu Town. It can be said that they can reach it with their feet. But they are separated by Chushui. Although there are floating bridges between the two places, our army will destroy the bridge or send a battalion of troops to guard the bridgehead. It is probably not easy for them to cross the river. In this way, the enemy along the way will not be able to reinforce Guabu Town!"

"Your Majesty, there is little water coming upstream at present, and the water flows smoothly. You can only cross the river with a floating horse, but you don't have to cross the river with a floating bridge!" Li Sanniang said again.

"Okay, as you said, the enemy cavalry chose another place to cross the river, but don't forget that we still have naval troops on Qingzhou Island. Will they watch the enemy cavalry cross the river at this time? Don't say that Chen Fenglin was negligent. If he was like this, he would not deserve to be the general who commanded the army. I am not aware of it." Zhao Bing did not expect that the little girl was still quite stubborn and kept defending his point of view. He smiled.

"Your Majesty said very much. The navy has completed the task of supporting the landing of the infantry. It is circling in the river to block the enemy across the river, thereby avoiding the worries of the enemy from landing in various units!" A military officer nodded and said.

"Let's talk about the Hadawanhu Mansion stationed in Liuhe. They are garrison troops, not only to undertake combat tasks, but also to farm and support themselves. In this way, it is impossible to be stationed together, but to be scattered in this area of ​​hundreds of miles, right?" Zhao Bing asked everyone.

"That's natural. Although the main soldiers under a Wanhu Mansion are only 7,000, they are still several times their families and expelled households. The population is less than 40,000 or 50,000, and they cultivate tens of thousands of hectares of land. If they get together and everyone goes out to farm together, the nearest ones have already finished their work and go home at night, and the far ones are probably not yet on the ground!" Sihu Jun said with a smile.

"So a Wanhu Mansion must be scattered in various places. For the convenience of farming, even a thousand households must be separated. Therefore, after getting the news, they still have to gather again before they can come to reinforce. What they discovered at the moment is, as expected, the Qianhu Mansion closest to Guabu Town." Zhao Bing said slowly, "The second division of our army's army is currently in charge of three regiments, a total of twelve battalions and more than 9,000 troops. Even if it is only counted as two regiments that landed, there are still 5,000 troops, but they can concentrate on dispatching troops. Overall, the troops are at a disadvantage, but they can form a local advantage."

"Well, Your Majesty is right. The enemy army is in battle in batches, turning its advantages into disadvantages. When they wake up, most of them have been lost and it is difficult to compete with our army. If their troops are assembled and fight again, our army will have wiped out the enemy Guabu Town, and completed the task of searching for trapped people, and retreated back to Jiangbei calmly. They can only sigh and do nothing." A military officer nodded.

"Your Majesty, the ship carrying the rescued trapped people has returned and is about to enter the water camp!" This is the report from the lookout post.

"Okay, I will welcome my heroes of the Song Dynasty immediately!" Zhao Bing stood up and said, everyone was also filled with joy. With their return, they showed that the goal of launching this battle had been achieved. On the other hand, they also used this to express their respect for the emperor. Thinking about the sake of more than 20 soldiers, they would not hesitate to come and launch a war in person. From the perspective of himself, if he was in danger, he would probably sacrifice his life to rescue him...

At this time, Tan Fei was in a tough battle. After sending back the trapped people, he almost did not rest. After replenishing ammunition, he rushed towards Guabu Town without stopping. Taking advantage of the fact that the main enemy forces were fighting with him, the guards of the guards suddenly rushed into the town. The situation was similar to what he expected. Since all the soldiers stationed here had already entered the battle, the guards of the town were empty, and more than a dozen Mongolian soldiers patrolling outside the town were shot to death without taking off their bows and arrows.

Since the early morning battle started, the news of the Southern Army landing had already spread, and Qianhu Habichi ordered the soldiers to fight. But this time, the battle did not end soon as before. Instead, the sound of gunfire became more and more intense, and people felt that it was not the small fight of the Southern Army. As the wounded and the dead were constantly sent back, people lost their battle after the ferry. All the 100-man teams stationed in the camp were killed, and thousands of Song troops came ashore.

As time went by, bad news came one after another. Qianhu Habichi's counterattack did not go smoothly, and his son was also killed in the battle. The Song army also raided Guabu Mountain, and the two hundred-man teams that surrounded and suppressed the soldiers of the Southern Army on the mountain suffered heavy casualties. Only less than 30% of the people fled back. People also learned from their mouths that the reason why the Southern Army crossed the river and landed in large numbers was to find the soldiers who were lost in Jiangbei.

More and more casualties were sent back, which also made the town shrouded in a sad cloud. The families of the deceased cried and claimed the bodies by robbing the sky and earth, and the families of the injured were busy seeking medical treatment and taking care of the medicine. More people gathered in Aolu, anxiously inquiring about the family's news, and waited for Aolu's instructions to transport military supplies, treat the wounded, and burying the dead.

At first, people thought that since the Southern Army had rescued people, they would withdraw their troops. However, a morning passed, and the war became more and more intense. Not only did they lit the beacon for help, but the messenger also sent a petty horse to all directions. Aolu also announced with a sinister face that all men over fifteen years old and under sixty-five would prepare their bows and horses, and they would go to the Oru to prepare for battle at any time, and young and strong women would also come to the camp to serve.

At this moment, Tan Fei rushed into the town. He found that the layout here was no different from the small town along the Yangtze River in the south. It was also developed by the river. It was built on the water. It was only a spacious main street about two miles long. Shops and inns were built adjacent to each other on the street, showing the prosperity of the past. However, due to the recovery of the south of the Yangtze River and the interruption of trade in the north and south, it inevitably showed a depressing atmosphere. However, as the resident of Thousand Houses, there is a population of tens of thousands of people around it, and it will not decline.

The war ahead was in full swing, but no one expected that the Song army would suddenly rush into the town. The first thing people thought of the defeat in the front was that caused great panic. The few people on the street fled in scattered places, and the shops closed. Tan Fei's trip was not to rob the house, nor to siege the city, nor to rob the land, nor to rob the city, nor to rob. It was just to catch a few escaped pedestrians and ask the whereabouts of the Song army who had lost the town.

The Song army attacked the inn in the town at the time when the Song army was very troubled, and they were not able to kill them all, so this matter is well known. After asking separately, the people all said that four Southern Army were trapped in a room in the town. They held on for nearly a day and refused to surrender. In the end, Qianhu asked people to set fire to the house. Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the four people destroyed their weapons and detonated bombs and committed suicide. More than ten people were killed or injured, but they didn't even catch the living. Qianhu Habichi was furious and sent people to drag the body to the street next to Qianhu's office to expose the body to the public to shock the Southern Army. The bodies are still there.

After asking about the situation and the location of Qianhu Institution, Tan Fei immediately led his troops to search. Qianhu Institution, as the highest administrative agency in a radius of dozens of miles, was not difficult to find. It was located in the center of the main street. They searched all the way and soon found the bodies of trapped soldiers abandoned on the street. However, due to the warmer weather and the biting of wild dogs, they have been called a pile of scattered bones, and they cannot tell each other at all. Only the tattered military uniforms also indicate their identities.

Seeing this tragic situation, the guard camp was extremely sad and angry. It was unfortunate that he died on the battlefield. The body was still trashed and gnawed by dogs. This was a great humiliation. But Tan Fei was not overwhelmed by anger. He knew that he was alone and could not stay for a long time. He immediately sent alerts to both ends of the long street, and quickly restrained the remains of the martyrs and evacuated as soon as possible after completing the task.

Everyone endured the grief and picked up the remains of bones, but the bones were dragged by wild beasts and it was incomplete. It was difficult to piece them all together when searching for them. The corpses of the four adult men were only filled with two backpacks, which made everyone even more sad. At this moment, gunfire and grenade explosions came from both ends of the street. Tan Fei looked at both ends and saw countless enemy cavalry rushing over at both ends of the street. He heard the sound of horse hooves and more enemy cavalry were behind him. He realized that the pathway was blocked, and it was impossible to break through. After all, people could not escape.

"Enter Thousand Houses!" Tan Fei saw the situation clearly and gave up his plan to break through. If they were on the street, they could not resist the enemy cavalry attacked from the front and back. To defend, they must have a strong place, otherwise they would still repeat the mistakes of the four robes on the street. At present, this Thousand Houses is the best choice, and wait for an opportunity to break through after dark.

The Qianhu House is not unfamiliar to Tan Fei's view. Its predecessor should be a dock wall built by local wealthy households. Since the southbound, the two sides of the Yangtze River have been in constant war. As long as the wealthy families with financial resources will be built to resist external invasions and bandits. This kind of building adopts the layout of external moats and internal houses, which is like a miniature city, with the defensive characteristics of moats and city walls. Digging trenches outside the fort, building walls, and suspension bridges and turrets are available. The trenches are three or four meters deep. The towering city walls can be used to walk around. There are bunkers and arrow towers on all sides. From the outside, they are as hard as iron barrels.

However, the front owner of the dock wall in front of him was limited financial resources, and the entire building was only about fifty acres, and there were no deep moats around him. Maybe there was a gradual accumulation of siltation due to lack of maintenance and was invaded by the surrounding houses. Only a small pool in front was left, but there was no suspension bridge. Instead, a stone bridge was built. The exterior wall was half a meter high, and people could walk around. There were corner towers at all corners. From a distance, it looked like a miniature square city.
