This Overlord Doesn’t Care About Anything

Chapter 694: 42. The world has been suffering for a long time

Views:

Yunyang currently borders Lide on the territory of the ninth son Lizhi, who is also a son with over 100,000 soldiers.

Before the uprising of the various princes, the total number of Yunyang's army was less than 200,000. At that time, the people had a considerable amount of tax revenue that went to the army. Although most of it was corrupted, the burden the army brought to the people can be seen.

Now Mr. Yunyang has tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command. The most basic thing for stationing troops is to consider the relationship of production. Whether the people engaged in production in the rear can support so many soldiers in the front line. This is actually a very serious blow to the training efficiency of the army.

Not to mention that the young masters of Yunyang don't even think about the issue of production, because they have never been exposed to these things since they were born. Everyone's idea is very simple: integrate all the forces, eat other people, take away their resources, until you become the lord of Yunyang—as for the things after becoming the lord, there is still time to talk about it later.

When the vast majority of people think so, it doesn't help if someone stays awake. Without special training methods, without a stable rear support, without the protection of natural dangers in a corner, the other Yunyang masters actually do not have Li De's unique conditions. All they can do is engage in an arms race recklessly, using numbers to overwhelm those around them.

And now, Yuxi City will tell them that the number of soldiers they are proud of will become nothing worth mentioning from today onwards.

Fang Shisan did not pile up all the troops together, but simply chose to divide the troops. It seemed that there were only half of the people on the opposite side now, and Li Zhi chose to go out of the city to meet the enemy without hesitation after being stunned for a moment. He didn't know why the general on the opposite side did this, but he knew that this was the best time to swallow the Yuxi City army. He had 150,000 people in his hands, and 100,000 people fought against 50,000 people to defend the city. This battle seemed easy.

He has coveted Yuxi City for a long time, and this is the closest opportunity he gets.

Swallowing up the army in Yuxi City, Li Zhi will be able to travel all the way west and eat all his brother's property in his stomach. This is an irresistible temptation.

As a result, thunderous shouts rushed to the face, and a hundred thousand mob mustered their last courage to fight out from the city, and then they were defeated in the battle in the wilderness. The whole process didn't even last for a stick of incense. Li Zhi, who was sitting high on the top of the city, watched in disbelief that the army he had collected desperately rushed towards the opposite side like a tide, and it was like the tide was smashed on the reef Disintegrates that quickly.

The seemingly unbelievable scene was normal in Fang Shisan's expectation. The reason is actually very simple. The soldiers under Lizhi have no concept of fighting in their minds. What they want is to run. The way to survive in front of a lion is not to run past the lion, but to run past the people around them. They must be sure that they can escape faster than the people around them, so that they can escape from the current scene.

They knew very well that they would flee, and they also knew that the people around them would flee. After all, everyone knew how Li Zhi forcibly captured them. No one would be loyal to such a young man. Since everyone will run away, the people around him are no longer their companions, but their potential competitors. As long as they run one step ahead of them, they can be in charge of the rear.

So this kind of army can still fight a dozen when the chickens are pecking at each other, but when they encounter difficulties and see no hope of winning, they will not hesitate to betray their companions and scramble to keep themselves life.

Because the soldiers fled so quickly, Li Zhi didn't even know what to do next. A part of the defeated army has already fled towards the city desperately, but the army of Yuxi City followed closely behind. If the city gate is closed, all of its own troops will be kept out. If it is not closed, the army of Yuxi City may take advantage of the situation to attack. into the city.

That's 100,000 people...

It hurts to think about the wealth that I have accumulated for an unknown amount of time, and just give it up so casually. But the army of Yuxi City is closely behind their own army, if the strong man does not cut off his wrist now...

Li Zhi hesitated for a while, and the last chance completely left him. The general of Yuxi City directly led his troops forward, smashed through Li Zhi's army, cut down the sling of the long bridge, and drove straight into the city. Li Zhi opened his mouth, he just felt that everything in front of him was like a nightmare, and he didn't know what to say. The people around him dragged him and wanted to escape to other cities, but the soldiers who stayed behind saw that the situation was gone and chose to mutiny , blocking Lizhi's escape route.

After Li Zhi hid in the middle of the city for a period of time, he was captured by the army of Yuxi City, put on shackles and escorted back to Yuxi City.

Fang Shisan calmly counted the losses, and found that the total casualties in Yuxi City were less than a hundred.

She asked the soldiers if they needed a break, and all said no.

As a result, the tens of thousands of troops barely stopped, and after taking over Lizhi's territory, they began to clear the next Young Master Yunyang. She has no preference, and she doesn't care whether there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of opponents, she simply hits whoever is closer, and at the same time prepares those who are far away to be beaten. If the other party is willing to come out and fight her, they will fight in an open place. If the other party chooses to be a turtle, Fang Shisan will choose to attack.

Anyway, with the Shenji Battalion, her siege equipment is far more advanced than that of ordinary troops. In addition, due to the excessive taxation, the people under the rule of the Young Masters of Yunyang were miserable, and the effect of the defense array was greatly weakened. For them, this kind of firearm burst, which can be compared to a large-scale magic bombing, is simply Things that are difficult to defend, after a few rounds, there will often be chaos on the city wall.

At this time, everyone realized that the division of troops in Yuxi City did not have any deep meaning, it was simply based on efficiency. With 10,000 to 20,000 troops, you can fight against hundreds of thousands of troops, so naturally, you don't need 50,000 people to get together. They are like cold machines: attack the city, take away the city lord and the nobles on the Anbu list, appease the people and surrender the army, and then go to the next place.

Before the huge Yunyang could fully react, nearly one-third of the territory in the west was directly assigned to Yuxi City. The city was conquered on the same day, and people came to promulgate various laws and regulations on the same day, guiding the people to resume production, and distributing a large amount of food and grass for disaster relief. Some of Young Master Yunyang's army turned into rogues after their defeat, and Yuxi City sent people to track them down very thoughtfully. Most of the rogues would be wiped out immediately. If the scale is relatively large, Yuxi City will call back a division of troops to deal with them, preferring to take down a few cities and give priority to dealing with these annoying flies.

The next day, the high-level executives of Yuxi City, except for He Yue who stayed in Yuxi City to manage the overall situation, were all sent out to inspect the various cities. On the one hand, it will bring confidence to the people who have just joined Yuxi City, and on the other hand, it will also let them understand the development strategy of Yuxi City - not to grab the cake from them, but to make a bigger cake so that everyone can eat.

At the same time, Yuxi City started the second phase of the conscription plan to further digest the unstable factors in the territory and hold the initiative in its own hands. The Shaoyu Camp was dismantled to various places, and a large number of slogans were printed on the walls from the countryside to the cities. Thousands of words actually expressed the same meaning.

——The world has been suffering for a long time, and the brothers are completely liberated from today.
