But even this was the case, they couldn't stop the people who wanted to escape! They didn't even look at what they were stepping on, they just knew to run north wildly. Because the north was Zhuxian Town, Li Zicheng built a new camp there.

Li Zicheng, who came to Zhuxian Town camp first, stood on the wall. Looking at the panic situation, the crowd running around was very angry! But he was also helpless!

After a moment of silence, Li Zicheng said, "Send people out, lead them to both sides, and organize them and lead them into the camp."

Seeing a few people leaving to gather the defeated soldiers, Li Zicheng turned to Niu Jinxing and said, "Military advisor, it seems that you are right. We really can't beat them! What should we do now?"

Niu Jinxing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't have a good idea either! But aren't they calling us bandits? Then we'll move. I'll go somewhere else and give it to him here!"

Li Zicheng sighed again and said, "I originally thought my wife would have to take a few days later to attack the full-scale attack. At that time, maybe I would come up with a way to deal with him! But I didn't expect..."

Niu Jinxing stepped forward and said, "King of Chuang, I have thought about this problem too. But I can't think of it, I can only blame this person for being too poor in patience."

Li Zicheng said: "If I had such a powerful army, my patience would not be very good! Maybe my writing style is still bad!"

Niu Jinxing said: "Why should the King of Chuang belittle himself? Although an army like him is powerful, it is not without weaknesses."

Li Zicheng said with interest: "Oh, what is the weakness?"

Niu Jinxing could see that Li Zicheng was excited. It seemed that his idea of ​​defeating Liu Pei was almost obsessed with it. Of course Niu Jinxing would not keep it in hiding. He said directly: "Two weaknesses, the first is silver! I have calculated that building such an army requires a huge amount of silver!"

Li Zicheng asked in confusion: "What is a massive amount of silver?"

Niu Jinxing also sighed and said, "King of Chuang, we have captured their soldiers. I have interrogated them in detail. I found that their daily expenses are so huge!"

Then Niu Jinxing began to calculate how much money his wife's soldiers paid each month? The wartime subsidy was

How much? How much does it cost to wear? How much does it cost to hold a musket in your hand? How much does it cost to gunpowder? How much does it cost to consume during training every day? How much does it cost to eat? Li Zicheng's face was covered in sweat!

Then I heard Niu Jinxing say, "There is also that it requires enough craftsmen. I have seen their muskets. The structure is very simple and practical. We can also make them. It's just that the output is too small and the price is too high."

Li Zicheng was silent for a long time before saying, "I don't know where this guy got the money? The spies we sent to Shandong all said that life was peaceful there, and the gentry there was not as greedy as the landlords and old wealth in our place. That's why I haven't used troops to the Shandong direction. If I go there, I'm afraid everyone will oppose me."

Niu Jinxing said: "I can't figure this out!"

Although Niu Jinxing is a very smart person, he doesn't know about the sea affairs, and he has no idea that Liu Pei is the real overlord of the sea, and even has overseas territory! He doesn't know how high the added value of industrial products is? So he naturally doesn't know how Liu Pei has made a fortune.

Li Zicheng said: "Forget it, let's not talk about the money issue for now. What is his other weakness?"

Niu Jinxing said: "Liu Pei and one weakness are baggage! His soldiers are much better than ours. Moreover, the firearms they use also consume a lot of medicine! So his team has a very high demand for baggage! Once their retreat is cut off, they may be in trouble without fighting!"

Li Zicheng said: "I know this too. But I have tried it and it will be no more than we can do to attack their baggage."

Niu Jinxing said: "How could this happen? Not to mention Liu Pei's army, even if the official army that consumes much less than him is cut off, it will immediately collapse! Then how could the logistics and supplies that hit them not be worth the cost?"

Li Zicheng said: "I once sent a small group of people to test it, but the other party's civilians who transported the baggage were also trained! As soon as our people appeared, they surrounded the big carts and relied on the big carts to resist! And those civilians were able to operate firearms, and their accuracy was not bad! So our people

I couldn't rush in for a moment!"

Niu Jinxing said: "If you send more people there? Even if you can't catch them, you can trap them! Isn't that the same as cutting off the baggage?"

Li Zicheng said: "If more people are sent to siege, they will attract their squadron immediately. Our brothers will not be able to run back much!"

Niu Jinxing continued: "King of Chuang, it's not the time to discuss this matter. It's time for us to decide what we will do next."

Li Zicheng said slowly: "He wants me to help him get the chestnut from the fire. This is not bad! Anyway, he can't help him when the city is broken! At worst, I can just wrap up less people."

Niu Jinxing nodded and said, "Breaking Wang Yingming! But Liu Pei has to send someone to the place."

Li Zicheng said: "It's not available at all. We will set out tonight, and he will never chase him."

After saying this, Li Zicheng never spoke again. He just stood on the wall of the village and watched the defeated soldiers being gathered together in groups, and bypassed Zhuxian Town and entered the camp again from behind.

After Liu Pei defeated Li Zicheng's peripheral camp, he did not rush to advance. After all, there were many casualties and injuries in a big battle! This time, Liu Pei used 50,000 people to defeat Li Zicheng's 110,000 troops, and he had to digest and rest.

That night, just as Liu Pei was about to rest, a guard suddenly reported to him: "Master, the people below reported that the camp of the bandits opposite was brightly lit, and people shouted and neighed, as if they were withdrawing their troops overnight."

Liu Pei laughed when he heard this and said, "Take me there and have a look."

A moment later, Liu Pei climbed up to the village wall. At this time, the village wall had been repaired and completely renewed. The building where Liu Pei is now was built by soldiers in the afternoon.

Liu Pei stood on the watchtower and looked carefully. He saw that the lanterns and torches in the camp of the rebels illuminated the entire camp. Although he couldn't see what was doing inside, the noise was definitely loud enough! And every once in a while, a long fire dragon headed west along the road.
Chapter completed!
