Originally, Gui Lichi had thought that his target this time was just a guard station that had yet to be built.
The enemy was just tens of thousands of civilians and thousands of border troops sent by the Ming court.
Who would have thought that they would have to face such a huge city?
It was true that the Mongolian cavaliers ran amok in the grasslands.
Even if they encountered the elite troops of the Ming court, they would still have the strength to fight.
However, the shortcomings of the Mongolians were also very obvious.
They were not good at attacking cities.
Most importantly, Gui Lichi had never expected that he would be facing a giant city.
The 60,000 men he brought this time were all cavalry.
In other words, although they looked intimidating.
However, it was unable to pose much of a threat to the enemies in this giant city.
This was why Gui Lichi was angry and helpless.
If he had known that he was going to face such a huge city.
This time, Gui Lichi definitely wouldn't only bring this few cavalrymen.
Right now, he felt like he was in a dilemma.
Enter? How could they enter a giant city like the Starting City?
The towering city walls told him that even the riding archery skills that the Mongolians were so proud of were no threat in front of this huge city that was more than ten meters tall.
Retreat? How?
He had retreated without even fighting a single battle. How would the tribal warriors under his command view him?
Gui Chili felt a headache coming on.
……
At the same time, on the walls of the Starting City.
Zhu Xiong looked at the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavaliers outside the city.
Beside him, Qin Liangyu stood behind him with a calm expression.
"Liangyu, do you think it's possible for us to fight against the Mongolian cavaliers outside the city with our 100,000 strong army?”
Zhu Xiong looked at the endless Mongolian cavaliers outside the city and did not feel any pressure.
Instead, he felt a little eager to try.
Qin Liangyu looked up at Zhu Rong's back and said seriously,"
"Sure!"
Zhu Rong's eyes lit up."
"Really?"
Qin Liangyu confirmed again,"
"It's true. As long as we work together and cooperate well, we can indeed fight against the Mongolians outside the city. We can even heavily injure them.”
"But…"
Zhu Xiong quickly asked,"
"But what?"
"However, regardless of whether it is good or bad, less than 10% of the 100,000 soldiers under our command will survive, and it is also possible that they will be completely wiped out.”
Qin Liangyu said truthfully.
Zhu Rong's face darkened.
Wouldn't it be useless to say that?
Using his 100,000 strong army to heavily injure the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalrymen at the risk of not even 10% surviving or even being completely wiped out?
Unless Zhu Rong was out of his mind, he would not do such a thing.
"Then, with the current training speed of our army, how long will it take to defeat them?”
Qin Liangyu fell silent.
Zhu Rong frowned slightly and asked,"
"Can't you do it? Could it be that even the White Pole Army you trained couldn't do it?”
Qin Liangyu sighed and said,"
"How can it be so easy to use infantry to defeat cavalry?”
"Even the White Pole Army would only have a 40 - 60 chance of winning against the Mongolian cavaliers on the plains.”
"Moreover, it's the Mongolians who have six points and the White Pole Army who has four points!”
"Only in favorable terrain can the White Pole Army display their advantage.”
"Your Highness, under normal circumstances, it is not advisable to use infantry to fight cavalry.”
"Since ancient times, those who can use infantry to defeat cavalry are rare famous generals.”
"In a flat terrain like the grasslands, cavalry have absolute mobility.”
"In such a terrain, the infantry can only form a formation to deal with the cavalry, using weapons such as bows and crossbows to kill.”
"In this process, the infantry must have absolute execution, discipline, and courage. He had to be brave enough to face the charging cavalry.”
"Under such circumstances, even the slightest mistake on the part of the infantry could result in a catastrophic disaster.”
"Thus, it is really difficult to train an infantry that can defeat cavalry.”
"This requires a lot of time, experience, and actual combat training.”
"With our current training level of 100,000 people, we are still far from reaching that level.”
"Even if we want to train these 100,000 people to the level of white pole soldiers, it might take half a year to a year.”
"So, Your Highness, with our current conditions, it's completely unrealistic for us to deal with these Mongolian cavaliers head-on in the field in a short period of time. It's best if you don't think about such a thing.”
Zhu Rong knew that he had taken things for granted.
Elites could not be cultivated in a day.
That required the tempering of iron and blood.
When Zhu Xiong heard this, he knew that he had taken things for granted.
Battles were not just about numbers.
Even if it was a 100,000-strong mob, it would not be as strong as 5,000 elites.
However, he was still unwilling to give up. He knew that it was not possible to train an elite troop in a short time.
However, his only advantage now was that he had more people.
The key problem was how to make use of the advantage of having more people.
Therefore, Zhu Rong asked again,"
"Then, is there really no way for us ordinary soldiers to display extraordinary combat strength?”
Qin Liangyu thought for a moment and said,"
"There is. Unless, Your Highness, you can create a peerless weapon that can be used by the entire army. Even if ordinary people use it, they can unleash shocking power.”
"Just like the Qin crossbow of the Qin Dynasty and the Mo Sword of the Tang Dynasty.”
Zhu Rong's eyes lit up."
"That's right! Since it was difficult to form elites in a short period of time, it was possible to work on weapons!”
Zhu Rong instantly found the direction.
In his excitement, Zhu Yu gave Qin Liangyu a big hug and laughed,"
"Liangyu, you've done me a great favor!”
At this moment, Qin Liangyu was completely stunned. In an instant, her beautiful face was extremely red.
She wanted to push him away, but she felt that she had offended him.
However, being hugged by Zhu Rong like this, as a daughter of a noble family, it was a little embarrassing.
Fortunately, Zhu Rong let go of Qin Liangyu after giving her a hug. She then left quickly, as if she had thought of a good idea.
Qin Liangyu looked at Zhu Rong's back in a daze. He subconsciously touched his cheek, which was burning hot.
She stomped her feet and muttered,"
"Your Highness, you're going too far."
