Xiao Rui was not a good person in essence, and he had never considered himself a good person.
Judging from his style of doing things, it was obvious that he was a person without any faith…
In other words, he could do whatever he wanted. Everything depended on his thoughts.
Yesterday, he was still very angry in the military camp, but after returning to the relay station to sleep, Xiao Rui's mood was much better.
After getting up in the morning and wiping the chest muscles of the girls around him five times, Xiao Rui returned to the military camp. Compared to the lifeless military camp yesterday, the morale of the military camp today had a qualitative improvement.
In addition, although Xiao Rui had saved 600,000 taels yesterday, he did not save it. After leaving 500,000 taels to reward meritorious officials, he gave the remaining 100,000 taels to Shen Zimu, who was also a leader of Six Fan School.
He had asked him to go to the Southern Capital and nearby areas to collect food and meat. He had asked him to buy them at the market price and use them to comfort the army. Why did he give the money to the people of Six Fan School?
Firstly, the people of Six Fan School were not considered proper officials. They did not have any superiors. Seventy percent of the people in Six Fan School had joined the school with their skills. People in Jianghu were very particular about righteousness. They would not be greedy for this money.
The second reason was that they were originally a department of the royal family, so they were actually very rich from the beginning of their establishment. They were not as stingy as the officials and the army.
As long as one entered the Six Fan School as a constable, their annual salary would be 100 dan, which was similar to a seventh-grade official. If Shen Zimu became a leader, he would have 500 dan of food every year, which was equivalent to the number between the second-grade and the third-grade. Moreover, when they went out on business, everything could be claimed. Weapons and clothes did not need to be spent separately, so they were very rich.
Although this hundred thousand taels of silver was not a small amount, they would not touch it.
This was also the reason why Xiao Rui had chosen them.
The things that were arranged yesterday had already begun to bear fruit today. Originally, when Xiao Rui entered the military camp, there was a dead atmosphere everywhere. However, when he entered the military camp now, he saw that everyone's condition was much better. The soldiers 'faces were rosy and their spirits were very good.
There was good food and money. For them, there was finally a reason to work hard.
Looking at their expressions, Xiao Rui heaved a sigh of relief. He believed that the Great Zhou would get better and better. Although he did not have the intention of carrying this dynasty on his shoulders, it did not stop him from longing for such a day to come.
After calling back the soldiers of all levels, Xiao Rui also began to arrange the battle strategy.
Er, to be exact, Xiao Rui didn't know much about battle tactics. Although he had read some of Sun Tzu's Art of War before coming here, he really didn't know much about battle formations.
Moreover, he didn't think it was necessary to know too much about it.
In a situation where the morale and state of the soldiers were about the same, even if they had no pay, it was not a problem for them to fight against 30,000 with 140,000. The reason why these people did not kill Prince Ning was mainly because the generals were afraid. Every time they fought, Prince Ning would mix those martial arts masters among them to sneak attack and assassinate the commanders of the thousand-family and hundred-family families.
It was similar to snipers during World War II.
In addition, the officers of the Great Zhou were a little cowardly. Once they were ambushed, they would run and then call their soldiers to protect them. Once the protection was in chaos, the attack could only be left unsettled.
However, this problem was now solved.
Xiao Rui divided the Jinyiwei and Six Fan School masters into groups of ten to protect the thousand-men, hundred-men, lieutenants, commanders, and so on. In addition, there were still a thousand people left, who were handed over to the Jinyiwei commander, Qian Shi, Rosefinch, to lead and assassinate the enemy commanders.
Yes, Xiao Rui's strategy was this rough. In the past, Xiao Rui liked to play Warcraft 3, but compared to other tactics, the main way he played this game was to circle and attack when he was almost done…
At most, he would control the hero's movements and skills. He would not look at the rest.
It was the same now. Under the situation where they had the upper hand in terms of military strength and martial arts experts, they could just circle them up and attack them. They could have as many as they wanted.
Looking at Xiao Rui's shameless way of suppressing others, although these commanders did not dare to disagree, they had to admit that this was the most effective method.
After formulating the strategy, that afternoon, after lunch, the drums of the Great Zhou camp sounded. The entire army attacked!
When they heard the noise, Prince Ning's camp also sent troops out. At the same time, there were many martial arts experts mixed in. Over the past few days, they had fought more than ten battles with the Great Zhou army on the other side. If it was not because 30,000 people were really too few, they might have swallowed these people long ago!
Therefore, from a fundamental point of view, they really looked down on the Great Zhou army.
This included Prince Ning, Zhu Chunhao, who returned to the marshal's platform after hearing the drums.
However, when the two armies fought, the expressions of the Ning King's army instantly changed.
This was because they suddenly realized that the Great Zhou army opposite them was no longer as cowardly as before. Instead, some of them were similar to their side. They were also risking their lives!
Moreover, although the Great Zhou army had secretly sold a lot of weapons, the Great Zhou army was still the real regular army. In the past, when Prince Ning recruited soldiers, he only dared to recruit infantry, archers, crossbowmen, and the like. He did not have cavalry or firearms, but the Great Zhou army did. After Xiao Rui used firearms and cavalry, the threat on the battlefield could be described as extremely terrifying!
In the history of the Great Zhou, cavalry had naturally been used in a concentrated manner. To be precise, China had already used cavalry in a concentrated manner hundreds or thousands of years ago.
However, the musketeers were rarely used in a concentrated manner. In this era, although the damage of the musketeers was considerable, their weaknesses were also obvious. Without the long-range support of the archers, it was difficult for the sword-shield soldiers to improve their melee defense.
However, when Xiao Rui set up the three-wheeled gun formation, these problems were all solved.
Although the strength of the attack was reduced for a moment, the attack was continuous…
If that row of guns went over, it would knock down and kill hundreds of Prince Ning's troops. The other Prince Ning's troops would not be able to rush over because the left and right sides were already blocked by other troops.
While these people were in chaos, the cavalrymen who had gathered together also began to charge and split up Prince Ning's army. 140,000 against 30,000. Moreover, it was such a wild battle. There was nothing to say about pure crushing. From the beginning of the battle to the appearance of Prince Ning's army retreating, it was only a quarter of an hour.
At this time, on the commander's platform in the military camp, the commanders looked at Xiao Rui with respect. Although Xiao Rui's method was simple and crude, it was really effective. However, they all knew that this was only the beginning, because what they had to face later was the infiltration and assassination of the martial arts masters of the Ning Royal Army!
