When this aura disappeared, the soldiers below were all in an uproar. One had to know that a valiant lieutenant had a higher chance of surviving on the battlefield. They had never felt such an aura before. They only knew that they had picked up a treasure.
"Commandant is mighty! Commandant is mighty!" The hundred soldiers shouted with the momentum of a thousand troops.
Liu Sancheng and Wang Zhen were stunned. What was going on? They were prepared to see Jia Xuan make a fool of himself.
Jia Xuan's aura was only released towards this hundred-man team, and no one else could feel it at all. Therefore, the others were baffled. The other soldiers were also baffled. They looked at their usual comrades. How could their brothers be defeated by this pretty boy with just a few words?
The 100-man team would not be stupid enough to tell anyone. If they were transferred away by the lieutenant, what would they do? The lieutenant was a life-saving talisman on the battlefield. He could not be transferred away, so they all kept their mouths shut.
"As expected of the grandson of the old Duke." Lou Liu Sancheng said. In fact, he himself did not understand why these bastards were so honest. Did he forget to take his medicine when he went out today?
After entering the job, Jia Xuan ate, drank, and lived with these hundred people. It didn't take long for him to mingle with these soldiers. None of the soldiers who could survive the cruel battlefield were honest. This was also the reason why Liu Sancheng and the others were puzzled on the first day that Jia Xuan had subdued this hundred-man team so quickly.
Wuuu…! Suddenly, the air above the entire army formation was filled with the sound of horns. After Jia Xuan tidied up his clothes, he quickly arrived at the drill ground.
It turned out that the Jurchen had sent 400,000 troops to invade. 200,000 went straight to the border city, and the remaining 200,000 split up. They went straight for the Maple Fire Guards and the Maple Forest Guards.
Due to years of fighting, the two guards did not replenish their forces. Currently, the Maple Fire Guards only had 80,000 people. As for the Maple Forest Guards, they only had 70,000 men, and the difference in strength was huge. Only the border towns were at full strength.
Jia Xuan came to the walls of the military town. Outside the city, there were many Jurchen people everywhere.
The Jurchen were all cavalry. As for the border troops, they had fewer cavalry and more infantry, so they could only defend the city. The entire Maple Fire Guards only had 5000 cavalrymen. Therefore, they were very cowardly during the war. And this time, the Jurchen people only surrounded them and did not attack. It seemed like they wanted to trap the soldiers in the city to death.
Liu Sancheng asked the quartermaster. "How many more days can our rations last?”
"Replying to Milord. Because the day after tomorrow is the time to replenish our rations, our military town's rations can only last for about four days.”The quartermaster replied with sweat all over his forehead.
"What is it? Don't you know that a military town needs at least ten days 'worth of rations? Do you want to test the law yourself?" Liu Sancheng roared.
"Daren doesn't send rations from the rear, what can I do?”The quartermaster said aggrievedly.
"These bastards only know how to enjoy themselves. They don't care about our lives. After this matter is over, I will definitely make a report and take the heads of these bastards.”Liu Sancheng said angrily.
"What should we do now? Without rations, we will be defeated after four days. If there's any way, let's discuss it." Liu Sancheng said helplessly.
"If they don't have enough food, then wouldn't it be fine?”A commander whispered.
"Bullshit! There are 100,000 Jurchen outside the city. Go and burn their rations and kill their cattle and sheep!”Wang Zhen continued," Moreover, we have more infantry, while they are all cavalry. It's not good for us to fight. That would be no different from courting death.”
"Then what can we do? He could only choose a team of men of sacrifice to give it a try. There was no other way.”the commander said. Otherwise, they could only wait for the provincial governors to send troops to save them.
"The provincial governors don't know how much food I have, so it's better not to wait for the provincial governors to send troops. Moreover, there are still 200,000 Jurchen in the border city, how could they send troops to save us in the siege?。Besides, we still need someone to break out of the encirclement and inform the provincial governors.”Liu Sancheng said.
He wondered how things were going at the border city and the Maple Forest Guards.
At this moment, the border city was already surrounded by the Jurchen.
Wang Lixin thought that it was all thanks to him sending his trusted aide to report to the Imperial Court when the Jurchen besieged the city. The Jurchen had never dispatched such a large force before. It seemed that the Zhenren wanted to take Border Town.
The Jurchen cavalry was strong, and the imperial court was always the weaker side. Although he had 200,000 soldiers, he could only defend the city and not fight. Because he only had 20,000 cavalrymen with him, it would be no different from sending the Jurchen to their deaths if they were to fight in the wild.
It was precisely because women knew this that they surrounded the city unscrupulously. This was because they were not afraid of the imperial court going out to fight.
Therefore, there were three military towns in the border city. They all faced the same problem.
When they returned to the Maple Fire Guards, just as the generals were frowning.
Jia Xuan stepped forward." Commander, I am willing to go out of the city alone to burn the Jurchen's rations. Kill their cows and sheep."
"Nonsense, there are 100,000 Jurchen outside. What's the use of you going out alone? Get out!”Liu Sancheng roared. This time, he was really angry. Even if you were Jia Daishan's descendant, you wouldn't speak so carelessly.
