"Men, frame this person who lied about the military situation for me to kill!”
The centurion was shocked and hurriedly said,""No, no, Chief Chanyu, what I said is true, it's all true. I didn't lie about the military situation, I didn't. If you don't believe me, you can ask the warriors who came out with me. They are with me, they can testify that I didn't lie about the military situation.”
Chief Touman sneered and said,""Aren't those people you're talking about all yours? Now that King Zhelan is dead, if nothing unexpected happens, you might be the next King Zhelan. How can they not speak up for you?”
The centurion felt like crying.
Longevity Heaven, everything he said was true. A month ago, there was really nothing here except for a group of Han people.
However, why did a huge city appear here in less than a month? How could he explain this?
But that was the day after tomorrow when he came here to investigate the situation. There was really nothing here.
"Chief Chanyu, I beg you, I beg you. You must believe me. There really wasn't any city here before.”
However, Chief Touman no longer wanted to hear his explanation.
Now, two of Chief Touman's personal guards walked over.
When they arrived, they directly dragged the centurion away.
"Spare me, Chief Chanyu, spare me. I'm really telling the truth.”The centurion was still begging.
However, Chief Touman did not even look at him. This centurion was dragged away just like that.
After Chief Touman did this, he looked at Wannian City. He felt both resentful and helpless.
This matter would probably be very troublesome.
Originally, Chief Touman had thought that their goal this time was just a town that had yet to be built into a county.
They only had to deal with the tens of thousands of civilians and thousands of border guards that the Great Qin Imperial Court had sent over.
They had never thought that they would be taking down such a huge city.
The Xiongnu Cavalrymen could indeed roam the grasslands, but if they encountered Great Qin's elite soldiers, they would still be able to put up a fight. However, the Xiongnu people's weakness in battle was very obvious-they were not good at attacking Cities.
Most importantly, before they set off, Chief Touman had never thought that he would need to conquer such a huge city.
This time, he had brought 80,000 men, but all of them were just cavalry.
In fact, their 80,000 cavalrymen looked very powerful and intimidating, but they did not bring much pressure to the people in the city. They could easily deal with them from above because they had the city walls.
This made Chief Touman really hate Yu Ou for being helpless.
If he had known that he was going to take down a city, they would not have only waited for 80,000 cavalry.
Right now, he felt that he was really in a dilemma and did not know what to do.
Enter? How were they going to enter such a huge city like Wannian City?
The towering city wall told him that even if the Xiongnu used all their best riding and archery skills, it would be useless in front of this huge city.
Retreat? How to retreat?
Retreating without even fighting the other party head-on? How would the tribal warriors under him view him in the future?
Therefore, Chief Touman felt that he was in a dilemma. He could not advance or retreat.
………………
At the same time, on the city wall of Wannian City.
Ying Jing stood on the city tower and looked at the 80,000 Xiongnu cavalry outside the city.
Behind him, Mu Guiying was standing beside him, unperturbed.
"Guiying, what do you think? With our current fighting strength of one hundred thousand soldiers, can we try to fight the Xiongnu cavalry outside the city?”Ying Jing looked at the endless Xiongnu cavalry outside the city and didn't feel any pressure. Instead, he wanted to go over and compete with them.
Mu Guiying raised her head and looked at the 80,000 cavalrymen outside. With a serious expression, she said,"That works too."
"Are you sure?" Ying Jing asked with mixed happiness.”
"I'm sure. As long as our tactics are effective and we cooperate well, we can indeed fight the Xiongnu outside the city and defeat their main force."”
"But…"
"But what?" Ying Jing hurriedly asked.
"However, no matter how the battle goes, less than ten percent of our army of one hundred thousand will survive.”Mu Guiying said honestly.
Ying Jing's face fell immediately. Wasn't this equivalent to saying it for nothing?
He would exchange the loss of less than 10% of his 100,000 troops, or even the loss of all of them, for the loss of tens of thousands of Xiongnu cavalry?
Ying Jing wouldn't do such a stupid thing as long as his brain was normal.
"Then, with the current training progress of our army, how long will it take before we can completely defeat them and win a battle?”
Hearing this, Mu Guiying fell silent.
"You can't do it?" Ying Jing frowned and asked. Even the Yang Family Army that you trained before couldn't do it?”
Mu Guiying sighed helplessly and said,"It's not easy to defeat cavalry with infantry.”
"Even the Yang Family Army's highest chance of winning against the Xiongnu cavalry on the grasslands is only 40 - 60%.”
"It's the Yang family's army with four, the Xiongnu cavalry with six."
"Moreover, the Yang Army must be in a favorable terrain to display their strengths.”
"Your Highness, under normal circumstances, using infantry to fight cavalry is not feasible.”
"From ancient times until now, those who could use infantry to defeat cavalry were famous generals whose achievements covered the history books.”
"For example, in a place as flat as the plains, if infantry and cavalry were to fight, the cavalry would have an absolute advantage.”
"In this flat terrain, the infantry can only rely on their formation to deal with the cavalry. It would be best if they could use weapons like bows and crossbows to kill them.”
"And in this process, the infantrymen must have strong execution, strict military discipline, and courage to not fear death. They must face the charging cavalry without fear.”
"Under such circumstances, the infantry must not make any mistakes. Even if there is a slight situation, the infantry may face the risk of being completely wiped out.”
"Therefore, if you want to train an infantry that can defeat cavalry, you will need a lot of time, experience, and actual combat practice.”
"With our current training rate of 100,000 people, it will be very difficult to achieve.”
