Everyone present sneered at the same time.

Whether it is the Heavenly Court, the Death of Ghosts and Gods, or Tao Xiaowu.

Even those Yulin Army, I'm afraid none of them hope to see the Fan Sect be recruited!

Naturally, the Heavenly Court did not want another other force to appear in the Middle Land.

Guishendao doesn't want anyone to compete with them for food.

In the Yulin Army, Wang Hu and infantry captain Wang Jian were both assassinated by the Fanmen masters.

And Tao Xiaowu...

The enemies he and the Fan Sect have made are not short!

As for the court?

Based on Tao Xiaowu's understanding of Yu Su and a dynasty that is rising like the sun.

We must not tolerate such a force that first competes and then surrenders.

There is nothing else, this will have an extremely bad impact on other forces.

That is, you can rebel against the court. At worst, you can surrender if you can't beat it!

In short, although Fanmen has a good plan, it is not so easy to achieve it.

Everyone looked at each other and knew each other.

In dealing with this Fan Sect, all parties have the same goals!

Although they didn't say anything, they all understood the other party's intentions: "We will start siege the city early tomorrow morning!"

It is best to take Mao'an before the arrival of reinforcements in the court!

Early the next morning, before the sky could light up, the rumbling drums were already ringing.

The military and civilians began to bury the pot and cook, and the soldiers got up.

The two drums are ready to complete the assembly!

At the time of the three drums, an attack had already started.

According to the records, there is no distinction between war soldiers and logistics. Often, among the 100,000 troops, the number of real war soldiers is only half, and the rest is logistics.

Even in the old Dayu dynasty, this was the case!

When the new dynasty of Dayu established professional troops, all of these Yulin Imperial Guards were warriors.

All logistics are also specially designed to be done by young and middle-aged men, and they are completely separated.

However, in Tao Xiaowu's opinion, this is far from enough.

The Dayu Xin Dynasty should have established a professional logistics force!

Of course, Tao Xiaowu also knew that in this ancient farming society, this idea was not very realistic.

It’s not because of technology or other problems, it’s purely because of lack of money.

Judging from the history of another world, the first person to establish a professional army was Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, who began to establish an imperial guard.

However, the scale of this imperial guard has never been too large, with a number of more than 100,000.

Nothing else, maintaining a professional army requires a huge amount of wealth.

In ancient farming society, this was undoubtedly an astronomical expense.

So much so that the entire Eastern Han Dynasty could only strengthen its own weak branches, suppress the capital with a small and elite imperial guards, and several strategic locations.

But in this way, local forces quickly grew.

And after the Yellow Turbans and the suppression of the Central Imperial Force weakened, local forces rose rapidly.

Later, all dynasties learned this experience. Apart from the Iron Blood Forced Song, no other dynasty relied on recruited professional troops so much!

There were military soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, and there were guards in the Ming Dynasty. Even the Qing Dynasty had green camps and eight banners, which were inherited by fathers and sons...

The Song Dynasty was called a weak chicken, and it was largely because of this system.

It’s nothing else, the court’s fiscal revenue can’t afford such a large-scale imperial guards.

The so-called three redundant soldiers are all from this redundant soldier!

With the financial resources of the New Dynasty of Dayu, raising more than 100,000 professional soldiers is already under heavy pressure.

How could it be possible to raise more than 100,000 logistics troops that seem not very important?

It would be better to add more than 100,000 combat soldiers!

So, in terms of war, it’s about making money!

The Dayu army began to attack the city!

At this time, Tao Xiaowu's army expanded to 30,000.

Most of the local Maozhou troops who surrendered were used as vanguards and launched an offensive against Mao'an City.

When the sun was noon, the shouts of killing were already ringing, and the most tragic siege had begun!

Mao'an City is high and deep, with strong guards, and the morale of the defenders inside is also high!

Logically speaking, facing the current collapse situation, there is only Mao'an left, and the defenders should be depressed and in panic all day long.

However, what I saw at this time was the city defenders who were frenzy and shouted to kill the enemy. Their morale was not only high, but also crazy.

And there are many people who help guard the city.

These people did not seem to be forced, but were very voluntary.

Many people even hugged the siege soldiers and fell down the city wall directly.

Under such madness, the siege troops quickly retreated.

In this scene, both Tao Xiaowu and other masters looked cold: "The demons of the Fan Sect are best at bewitching people's hearts.

It seems that the soldiers and people in the city have been bewitched!"

Tao Xiaowu was not surprised: "If you are anxious, you have to jump over the wall. At this time of life and death, it is not surprising that those demons of the Fan Sect do anything.

Let’s continue to inform the city, and start building siege equipment..."

"Taoshi, I'm afraid this is something wrong?" said the Taoist, who was ghost and god, coldly.

Tao Xiaowu naturally understood what he meant, that was best to solve the Fan Sect before the court intervened, so as to avoid other changes.

However, Tao Xiaowu shook his head helplessly: "You have seen it too. Under such circumstances, how can we take down the city unless we take action personally?

Even if all the 30,000 people here fill in this place, it is not enough…”

Once the enemy is strongly defending the city, the siege troops will definitely not be able to take down the siege force if they die several times.

It’s not that Tao Xiaowu is kind and ruthless, and he is kind and does not control military justice or wealth.

In fact, the ants supporting the city is the most tragic method of siege, and the casualties are also the most tragic.

The psychological impact on the siege is also the greatest. If it cannot be captured in a short period of time, the morale of the entire army will soon collapse, and it will be a trivial matter if it cannot organize new fortifications in a short period of time.

During the wars of all generations, the ants attacked the city too fiercely, resulting in heavy casualties. The army no longer had the courage and confidence to attack. They could only waste their time under the city. There were too many things to rely on siege to wait for the enemy to surrender.

What's worse is that most of Tao Xiaowu's subordinates are Maozhou troops who have just been incorporated.

Once you force it to the point of being too anxious and mutiny, it will be even more troublesome!

Therefore, although Tao Xiaowu was unwilling, he could only slow down.

Although he had not experienced much war, it was the first time he was leading a large army.

But Tao Xiaowu knew very well that real war and bravery were actually not that important, at least not as important as imagined.

The key to war is logistics, psychology, morale, and other things.

Even when you really get on the battlefield, morale is the real and most important thing!

At this moment, an ant siege attack has reduced the morale of its own army by at least 30%.

If you force it up again, it will be useless...
