"That's almost the number." Wang Mi agreed.

Moreover, there was another discovery on his side that his brothers did not have. Although the Jin army did not know the internal situation of the Qin soldiers, it was impossible for Di Qin himself not to know the inside story.

At this moment, you can understand why Fu Zuan surrendered in a timid manner even though he was in command of the army.

That's because he knew in his heart that there were not many Qin soldiers in the city!

And as Li Dalian surrendered in advance with his two thousand soldiers and horses, the few people under his command could not make a difference.

Since we are unable to fight anymore, we might as well surrender quickly while the situation is still good, so that at least it doesn't look so unbearable.

It turned out that this was what he had in mind.

"Amai, continue."

"Tell me your specific thoughts."

With these numbers, Wang Mi became more confident. He Mai must have a complete picture in his heart, and he had a plan!

"Actually, it's not that complicated. The Qin soldiers have very few troops, but the main force of our army has not been greatly damaged. Then we can place these Qin soldiers in Yecheng and then arrange our own troops.

Ma looked at them, our troops are strong enough, and these Qin soldiers can't do anything."

"Besides, I have also considered that our army can win consecutive battles not only because the quality of our soldiers has improved, but more importantly, our weapons are much better."

"Di Qin is not our opponent at all, but after this battle, our weapons have also been depleted a lot, and we must replenish them as soon as possible."

"This Yecheng is a traditional military town. There are quite a lot of iron materials, sulfur and other materials stored in the city. These things are great treasures!"

"Shouldn't we seize the time to produce weapons locally in Yecheng?"

"Not only Yecheng, but even the surrounding towns, those with a small area and small population, seeing that Yecheng is occupied by our army, there must be many people who are willing to surrender directly to me."

"There will also be a lot of iron, sulfur, and saltpeter in these towns. Wouldn't that be great?"

"yes!"

"You are absolutely right!"

Wang Mi's eyes suddenly became very bright. You see, this is how he came up with the solution. This is the reason why everyone is so enthusiastic about it.

"We really need to seize the time to build weapons in Yecheng. This is not only to make up for our shortcomings, but also to prepare for our next attack plan."

"Yecheng is just a small step. Next, Chang'an and Luoyang are our goals. But as you all know, it is absolutely impossible for us to transport weapons from Jingkou all the time. The long journey is not only inconvenient, but also prone to accidents.

Incident."

This is the case in war. It is always more cost-effective to prepare and use immediately than to transport it over long distances.

For example, when the later Yongle Emperor Zhu Di went on his northern expedition, he originally planned to transport grain and grass from afar to support the march of the large army.

However, later, as the journey to the north became farther and farther, long-distance transportation was obviously no longer suitable. So what should we do?

Zhu Di immediately changed his policy and adopted the method of collecting grain along the way and delivering it directly. This not only saved the farmers from transporting grain, but also prevented any gaps in the supply of the army.

This is the benefit of having a large territory.

In the past, the Jin Dynasty was located in the south of the Yangtze River, and logistical supplies had always been a problem. In the end, no solution was found until the demise of the Southern Dynasty.

Neither people nor things can be connected. This problem often does not occur in the northern court.

The road to their conquest was not short, on the contrary, it was very long. So why did they not seem to encounter such difficulties?

That's all because their soldiers are sharp and the battle is fought faster.

The war horses are in groups, rushing here and there. If they can't win, they can quickly shrink back. But if they win, it will be a great victory.

No delay on either side.

So for the current Jin army, a steady and steady attack is indeed their goal.

Use a town as a stronghold and continue to seize important surrounding strongholds to ensure logistical supplies. Only in this way can this reverse battle from south to north have a chance of success.

"Amai, your idea is very good, but you must also keep it confidential."

"As far as I know, the Qin soldiers are also very curious about our army's firearms. They also know that we can only win with the help of this artifact. As long as we make weapons in the city, they will definitely find ways to steal them.

We must take strict precautions and not let them succeed."

"I understand this." He Mai said happily.

"But, Di Qin is paying attention to these things, do they still want to cause trouble again?"

"They must be hopeless."

What they say is that even if they can't defeat them, it won't stop them from making trouble.

Especially the firearms produced at this stage are relatively crude in craftsmanship and are still at the elementary level. It is easy for the enemy to steal them and succeed.

Even more precautions need to be taken.

"It's impossible to cause trouble, but Di Qin is cunning. We all know this. We can't guarantee that they will want to cause trouble again when they see the army far away."

"Another thing we should pay attention to is that it does not mean that they will stop if they are not sure of winning. In many cases, they will not even hesitate to take action as long as they think it will bring bad luck to our army."

As soon as this statement came out, all the colleagues present showed expressions of disbelief.

"Can this still happen?"

"If you can't win, why do you do this?"

I don't understand, I really don't understand.
