Li Shuwan blushed and smiled sheepishly: "Well... I'm not used to it yet..."
"I would like to ask why Xiang Jun's army, which is nearly 200,000 strong, seems to be piled up with sand and then dispersed as soon as it rushes."
"Hmm...this..." Nan Yanxi smiled and nodded, and praised: "Not bad Shuwan, you know how to analyze the root cause of the problem."
"Speaking of it, this matter has to be considered from many aspects, and it is not caused by a single thing."
Then he hid from the women and said slowly: "First of all, although Xiang Jun claimed to have 200,000 men, he retreated in a hurry and did not prepare enough food and grass."
"After these few days of chasing and escaping, I guess the bottom is coming soon."
"The soldiers are tired and hungry, so how can their morale be high? This is one of them!"
After saying that, Nan Yanxi paused, took a sip of tea and cleared her throat: "Second, if you say it sounds good, they are attacking, but if you say it doesn't sound good, they are retreating hastily."
"There are enemy troops blocking the front and pursuing troops approaching behind. Xiang Jun's soldiers are already panic-stricken. They are like birds frightened by their bows. With the sound of wind and the roar of cranes, the grass and trees are full of soldiers."
"So in last night's night attack, we received almost no decent resistance, and a large number of people fled."
"Thirdly, Xiang Tianxing rebelled against Daxia, using his many years of management in the court, the support of his direct troops, and the tiger talisman he obtained through fraud."
"Many troops were actually coerced by him to rebel."
"If everything went smoothly, everyone would give in half-heartedly. But now, his territory has been completely lost, and the sunset is about to begin."
"How many of these soldiers who were brought here are willing to sacrifice their lives for him?"
After Nan Yanxi said something, Li Shuwan nodded with sudden realization: "I understand... It seems that this family army is not monolithic."
"Once the main formula is weakened, the birds and beasts will be scattered."
Hearing this, Nan Yanxi smiled: "Actually... it's not entirely true. There is another important reason for this."
"Oh? What is it?" Li Shuwan asked quickly.
Nan Yanxi said slowly: "I think this reason is the most important..."
"Shuwan, think about it, Xiang Tianxing's central army is his direct descendant. Most of them are members of the four forbidden armies who first rebelled against him."
"There are some who are like birds and beasts scattered about the main army, but they are definitely not the majority in his army."
"In fact, what attracts them most is our new policy..."
"When we attack territory, we don't just eliminate the enemy's resistance."
"Now, all departments in the imperial court are operating at full capacity, and their advance working groups are following our army."
"Every time a piece of land is conquered, a new policy will be implemented immediately. The people will live and work in peace and contentment, and the court will immediately make up for the disaster."
"Everyone divides the land according to head count, but the poll tax is abolished, children go to school for free, and people get free medical treatment."
"Various new types of commercial and local taxes, etc., have finally given the people hope for a better life."
"How can the common people resist us again for such a huge good thing? And most of these soldiers and their families are under our rule."
"Since your life is so good, why do you still want to go against us? It's better to go home early, let your wife and children warm up on the bed, and go home and live a good life."
"So I think...that's the most important reason."
"And this is also an important reason why we have always been invincible, but there are few places where we can rise up!"
Such words not only answered Li Shuwan's questions, but also made everyone present suddenly realize.
In fact, many people present had this doubt.
Why is it that ever since Nanhai followed Nan Yanxi, the Ming Dynasty has always been successful in wars.
To say that weapons and equipment are advanced, this is an important reason, but why is there no resistance to the land that was conquered?
Occasionally, those who want to rebel are also the aristocrats and landlords.
These people colluded with the forces of the former dynasty, gathered bandits, and tried to restore the former dynasty.
But often before the imperial court had time to mobilize the army, these resistance forces were wiped out by ordinary local officials with the full help of the people.
For this reason, everyone has always had more or less doubts, and some people even firmly believe that Nan Yanxi is a deity descended to earth.
Now, after listening to his detailed explanation, everyone finally understood.
At this time, in Xiang Jun's tent, Xiang Tianxing and others were furious.
He scolded Nan Yanxi for not respecting martial ethics and scolded his subordinates for being useless.
In just one night, he lost more than 20,000 people.
It would be okay if all of these people died in battle, but what made Xiang Tianxing angry the most was that most of these people fled.
In particular, there were a large number of generals who fled with their entire army.
Now, with enemy troops chasing behind him and blocking them in front, Xiang Tianxing was unable to send troops to chase the defeated army, and he felt even more angry.
He reached out and picked up the wine bottle on the table, took a few sips, and then threw it to the ground.
The exquisitely carved white jade wine flask instantly shattered into pieces.
Xiang Tianxing pounded the map with both fists, over and over again, roaring like a tiger about to explode: "Attack...attack me..."
None of the generals, including Xiang Yang, dared to dissuade him, so they all got orders and turned around.
"Woo..."
In Xiang Jun's military formation, the low attack horn blew melodiously.
For a moment, people were moving around in the military formation, flags were waving, war horses roared, and war drums rumbled.
The Xiang Jiajun, numbering 170,000 to 80,000, spread out their formation and launched an all-out attack on Linchuan County.
Nan Yanxi stood on the city tower and said slowly to the three women and generals beside her: "Did you see it? A full-scale attack... It seems that Xiang Tianxing is really angry this time."
"However, given the terrain and the size of the city in Linchuan, only tens of thousands of people can be deployed in front."
"These hundreds of thousands of troops are crowded together. Apart from complaining that our muskets and artillery have a low hit rate, they are of no use at all."
After saying that, Nan Yanxi turned to look at everyone and said word by word: "Everyone... in the future, whether you are leading troops to fight or governing a place, you must remember not to be angry..."
"Anger...will make you lose your mind, lower your IQ, affect your judgment, and other uses are useless...!"
"So, at all times, everyone should try to keep a clear head and never make wrong decisions out of anger."
After hearing this, everyone expressed that they had benefited a lot and nodded involuntarily.
Looking at the dense enemy formations in the distance, Nan Yanxi did not panic at all and ordered the messenger: "Everyone, pay attention and enter combat status."
"But don't fire yet. Opening fire too early will only cause the enemy to wake up prematurely and withdraw its troops after suffering a heavy blow."
"Let them continue to approach until they enter the shooting range of the trebuchet, and then open fire...!"
"We must ensure that a single fire strike will eliminate a large number of the enemy's effective forces."
