The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 99 The Tartars Finally Arrive
"My lord, with such an impregnable fortress defense, we have already taken advantage of the convenient location. In addition, General Ran Wu's [-] cavalry are harassing behind, even if the Tartars have an army of tens of thousands, they may not be able to take our Erlong Valley. Besides. I look at the sky, and there must be continuous heavy rain these few days. It can be said that the right time, place and people are on our side, so don't worry too much, my lord."

Liu Ji patrolled along with Jiang Chuan, seeing that Jiang Chuan stopped talking, thinking that he was worried about the upcoming war, so he spoke in relief.

Jiang Chuan came back to his senses, and said with a hearty smile, "Military Master, I'm not worried that the Tartars will be able to capture our Erlong Valley. If the Tartars want to take down the Erlong Valley, he doesn't have the appetite. If the Tartars come , I'll let them taste what it's like to bleed dry. Even if they bleed dry, they don't even think about entering the Two Dragon Valley."

According to Liu Ji's suggestion, Jiang Chuan ordered Ran Wu to leave the valley early with [-] cavalry archers, asking him to take the initiative to find opportunities to harass the Tartars.Fight if you can, and run if you can't.Even if it can't cause much damage to the Tartars, it will still make them exhausted and battered, and they can't just attack Erlong Valley so easily.

Moreover, with such a group of troops outside, the Tartars did not dare to attack the city with confidence, and had to reserve some troops for defense, which was equivalent to indirectly reducing the pressure on the headquarters.

In fact, now, with both feet stepping on the tall, broad and strong city wall under his feet, Jiang Chuan's original uneasy heart has been completely let go.

Although he has already built Taniguchi into a strong fortress that looks impregnable, he knows that there is no city in this world that can never be broken.

No matter how strong the city is, it will be breached, it is only a matter of time.

So the source of his hole card and confidence is not this hole card, but the shocking secret of the fortress base that can never be told to others.

With the existence of the base, as long as he has enough money and enough population, he can continuously replenish troops from the barracks.

The strength of the defenders is the key and fundamental factor that really determines the victory or defeat of a siege.

He stated that there are less than [-] infantry who can defend the city, but to him it is an infinite force.Of course, these are all theoretical.

As long as the enemy continues to attack the city continuously, Jiang Chuan loses more troops than the system can replenish, and his money and food replenishment is slower than the money and food needed to train recruits, then of course he will be defeated one day.

Of course, this is also theoretical.This kind of situation is almost impossible to happen, unless the attacking party will mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight regardless of the cost, it is possible to cause such a result.

But would anyone do it?Jiang Chuan can be sure that no one has done this at present.If the Qing army dared to attack this time, as long as they let them suffer in Erlong Valley, they would definitely think twice about coming again next time.

At least for now, the main target of the Qing army is not Jiang Chuan, but the behemoth Daming to the south.

It is impossible for them to spend their troops on Jiang Chuan, an enemy who seems to be small at present.

This is Jiang Chuan's true confidence.Moreover, the Qing army has won many battles in recent years, and it has long been defiant, and it feels that the world is invincible.This time to attack a small bandit den, naturally not too many troops will be dispatched.

After hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Liu Ji asked in confusion, "Then what is my lord worried about?"

Jiang Chuan sighed sadly: "What I'm thinking about is once we occupy Liaodong, clear Mongolia, and subdue the Korean Peninsula, how will we treat the behemoth Ming Dynasty in the future? After all, it is also our mother country, and the people there are also our compatriots. If swords and soldiers meet each other, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the test in my heart."

Liu Ji didn't expect that Jiang Chuan had thought of such a far-reaching thing, he was slightly startled and then smiled: "My lord, although it is said that people have near-term worries without long-term considerations, but the lord has forgotten that everything in the world is changing, and everyone's phase changes. , interaction between things, some things will be done in the future even if the lord is not going to do it, he will have to do it."

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chuan also laughed: "That's right, but I was thinking too much. Times have changed, and no one knows what will happen in the future. If that day really comes, when we are strong enough, we are afraid that we will If you don’t provoke others, they will come to provoke us. It’s still the same sentence, how can others snore on the side of the couch? Man Qing is like this, and so is Daming. And I will certainly be like this in the future. So, I was just being mediocre. .Ha ha"

Liu Ji said with a smile: "Master Mingrui, it can be seen that the lord has a pure heart and never forgets his mother country. Liu Ji deeply admires it."

"You old fritter, you're really good at flattering." Jiang Chuan pointed at Liu Ji, and let out a long laugh, and Liu Ji also laughed.

In the afternoon, a horse from a distance came from the north with smoke and dust, and when it came to the city, it shouted loudly: "Urgent news from the scout battalion, please see your lord!"

Not long after, Jiang Chuan saw the scout.

"My lord, the [-] Tartar army has set out from Liaoyang and is heading towards Erlonggu." The scout reported loudly.

"Is it finally here? Then let's start the show." Jiang Chuan looked to the north, with a peaceful smile on his lips.

　The third is coming.
