"Vice general, please report the status of our army."
Chu Rui squinted his eyes, glanced at the adjutant who was wearing armor and kneeling on one knee, and asked based on the system prompt he just received.
Damn it, he actually restricted my strength to level four, and even changed his whole body. It was no longer his own equipment, but a set of gold-level armor, and none of the things in the backpack could be used. , This means that in the current situation, Chu Rui is completely a general in the cold weapon era. He only has a horse under his crotch, a sword at his waist and an army behind him. He does not have strong strength to destroy it by force, so he can only Relying on strategy and soldiers, the city was conquered.
"Report to the general, we have 73,564 soldiers, including 40,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry, and XXX crossbowmen..."
Chu Rui frowned and listened to the deputy general's report, quickly sorted out the information in his mind, and then thought about the attack strategy one by one.
"Report everything about the enemy's situation one by one. Don't miss any details."
After getting a rough idea of his own strength, Chu Rui asked the deputy general to report the enemy's situation.
The city is eighty meters high and made of hard granite. It is also poured with molten iron on the outside. It is very strong. The city gate is thirty meters high and seven meters wide. It is made of fine iron and is indestructible to swords. They could only use a door-pounding and pestle made of birch ironwood to smash into the city. There were about 50,000 defenders in the city. The city owner was well-known and had very strong command. He was loved by the army and the people. And, most importantly, outside the city, It is a large open space. Without the natural smoke, the archers on the tower will cause a lot of trouble...
Chu Rui analyzed this piece of information in detail, thinking about strategies that were feasible and relatively risky.
After standing quietly for three hours, Chu Rui remained motionless, his brows condensed together, and he fell into difficult thoughts.
There are only ten hours, such as harassment warfare, countermeasures and so on, it is impossible. We can only use a relatively safer method to attack by force. Moreover, it is morning now, and ten hours later it will be evening and dusk. Even A sneak attack at night is impossible.
"What's wrong."
A commotion sounded, disturbing Chu Rui's contemplation. Turning his head, he looked at the deputy general and asked with some anger.
"General, some soldiers have numb feet due to standing for too long, so..."
The deputy general was stared at by Chu Rui's violent eyes, and he was a little scared, but he still had the courage to explain everything.
"Behead those who sit on the ground."
Chu Rui's eyes sharpened, and he waved to the soldiers around him. Even though his voice was soft, the cold murderous intention contained in it made the deputy generals and surrounding vanguards, captains, etc. break out in cold sweat.
An army must be mixed with good and bad. After all, this is not an elite soldier led by a leader, and the test given to him naturally includes command. If he can't even handle his own army, then how can he let them follow him to attack cities and conquer territory? .
There are many ways to condense them into a rope. However, at this time, the only way is to use thunderous methods, which are also bloody and cruel to make them fear and dare not make mistakes. A big stick and sweet dates are the most basic. He is a general, and soldiers have a sense of awe, but not everyone is like this. However, the personal soldiers are 100% loyal, so no matter how ridiculous Chu Rui's military order is, they will not hesitate. Hesitant execution.
Screaming continuously.
The military camp, which had been filled with slight complaints, suddenly became silent, as quiet as a ghost.
"Report to the general, mission accomplished."
The soldier captain's armor was stained with blood. He ran over and inserted the bloody sword on the ground. He knelt on one knee and clasped his fists towards Chu Rui to return to the mission.
"How many people are there."
Chu Rui glanced expressionlessly, and every soldier lowered his head under his cold eyes, not daring to look at him.
"Back to the general, there are seven hundred and thirty-one people in total."
The captain of the soldiers was very respectful, and there was no tremor in his voice. For veterans like them who were used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield, killing hundreds of people was nothing.
"Seven hundred and thirty-one, oh, it's really good. Why, my legs are weak before I even go to the battlefield." Chu Rui's cold voice spread throughout the three armies, making everyone silent.
"Since their legs are weak, in order to avoid being embarrassed on the battlefield and dragging down the entire army, it is better to kill them all to eliminate the moths in the entire army... This battle is a tough battle, and absolutely no one will be allowed to do so. General, I don’t care what you are thinking, but as long as you do your job well, you will be punished."
"Throughout the ages, every soldier who goes to war has done it for eight reasons, either to make achievements or to defend his homeland. No matter what, since you are serving as soldiers under this general, then this general will be responsible for you. , On the battlefield, death is inevitable. I, the general, can only consider the overall situation and try my best to protect you. Your blood will not be wasted in vain. No one can take away a point of your merits, not even me. Your generals will not be greedy for military industry that originally belonged to their soldiers and was purchased with their blood and lives."
"You sacrificed on the battlefield, and your family members can receive generous pensions. I swear to God, no one can compensate for this pension. As many enemies as you kill, you will get as many rewards as you want, squad leader, captain, Centurion, vanguard, lieutenant general, general, as long as your military merit is sufficient, then these positions are yours."
"Today, before evening, we capture this city. I hereby assure you that everything in the city, as long as you can see and get it, is yours. However, there are two things. If you violate them, you will be killed on the spot. , Absolute forgiveness, first, you can’t rape women, second, you can’t kill innocent people indiscriminately, and third, you can’t rob your brothers’ finances. Apart from these three points, you can do other things as much as you want, including killing the city lord. , he was directly made a captain of thousands and was rewarded with three thousand silver."
The sonorous sound spread throughout the entire military camp and echoed in the valley, making the soldiers who were originally frightened by Chu Rui's iron-blooded and ruthless methods, and even those who had alienated and rebellious hearts, their eyes turned red.
No matter in troubled times or in peaceful times, poor people serve as soldiers just to have enough to eat. Perhaps some of the more ambitious ones also want to make achievements. Children from rich families serve as soldiers just to gain merit and avoid being mixed up with the low-ranking merchants. So as to take the high road, now, Chu Rui has placed such an opportunity in front of them. The general has taken the oath as evidence, and it must be true. If he does not take the merits of the war and promises the right to rob, he will suddenly let this group of people The soldiers' eyes were red,
