But he still suggested with some concern: "But Your Highness, as a rule, after breaching the city gate, the soldiers must not lay down their swords for three days. If they don't vent their anger, it's easy for a camp cry to break out!"
Camp riots, soldiers killing people, and garrisoning, the long-term repression of the psychological state is very likely to lead to mental problems. If these emotions are not vented, many people will completely lose their rational behavior.
To give an analogy, just like in kindergarten, when the younger children are taking a nap, as long as one child cries out loud, the other children will naturally follow suit and cry.
"That's why I arranged for Mr. Yuqing to be the political commissar. He should use the energy he uses to educate the children to calm the soldiers and relieve the pressure on the battlefield."
As for jobs like military prostitutes? Ji Wan directly passed them over. How could he manage the army like that?
She is a woman herself, so don't say that she looks down on herself.
If other princes heard that there were military prostitutes in the army commanded by Ji Wan, a woman, they would laugh their heads off.
"Look, a princess who has no respect for women wants to be the empress?" How ironic.
The female soldiers in the female barracks were newly recruited soldiers, so Ji Wan did not bring them here. Instead, he handed them over to Yan Peinan to manage and train them.
When reorganizing the army, Ji Wan had issued a strict order that no one should plunder the people's money or insult the women in the city. Those who violated the order would be punished according to military law and then expelled from Ji Wan's Qingshizhou.
Ji Wan increased the cost of soldiers making mistakes, which could not only effectively curb the chaos in the army, but also drive the restless factors out of Qingshi State directly, creating a state that is at least peaceful for the people.
Thanks to the presence of Tuoba Feng and Lin Chanhua, the construction of siege fortifications was very rapid. In less than a day, Ji Wan had set up camp in the distance and made all preparations for the siege.
In this battle, Cui Min was the military advisor, Jin Lie was the main general, Tuoba Feng assisted him, and Ji Wan and other subordinates served as mascots.
Well, mainly Ji Wan wanted to broaden her horizons, but she had never seen such a large-scale siege scene before, so she wanted to pull her subordinates down to listen to their explanations.
Zuo Yue and Gong Xu were on standby beside Ji Wan. This was their first day with the army. They thought Ji Wan wanted them to sneak into the city and kill the leader, or something like that.
Unexpectedly, before leaving for the battle, Ji Wan said to them, "Stay with me and see what normal people around me look like. I don't want two killers, I want two normal generals!"
The two were shocked and looked at each other in surprise before nodding their heads in agreement.
A normal general? What does that look like?
At night, everything is quiet.
As usual, Tuoba Feng released a little bird in his hand, and with the help of the scouts, he quickly flew towards the stone city and the surrounding areas of his own army.
This little bird is also a kind of detection spell. Its most powerful function is that it allows him to observe everything around him through the eyes of the bird.
When Ji Wan first learned about this, he patted Tuoba Feng's shoulder vigorously. Isn't this just an ancient version of a drone?
How many scouts’ deaths can be avoided with this thing!
Jin Lie had already prepared some large siege equipment such as catapults, ladders, chariots, etc. in the rear.
He waited for Tuoba Feng to finish his investigation, then took advantage of the night to launch a fierce attack with 10,000 soldiers.
Tonight, the advisors jointly decided to launch a strong attack. Their main goal was to try their best to destroy the solid gates of the stone city from all directions!
However, he never expected that Tuoba Feng, through the bird's sight, controlled the bird and circled at the gate of Shicheng for a long time, and actually found that several enemy troops were leaving the city in an orderly manner from the gate.
Looking at their attire, they are clearly the enemy's vanguard!
In the tent.
Because Cao Ke was over fifty years old and had gray hair, Ji Wan specially arranged him to be on the left side of Zuo Yue and Gong Xu's tent, closest to Ji Wan.
In a daze, I heard several anxious footsteps running towards Ji Wan's tent, back and forth several times.
There were also the sounds of the remaining guards reminding each other to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
The last bit of sleepiness he had left disappeared in an instant. Cao Ke hurriedly grabbed a robe, put on his boots and ran out of the tent.
Ji Wan's tent was pitched at the very back of the army. At this time, Cui Min had already dispatched 10,000 soldiers to carry out tonight's operation.
In other words, there were only 10,000 soldiers around Ji Wan and in his army! This wasn't too many soldiers, but it wasn't too few either. While it was enough to temporarily protect Ji Wan, if something went wrong on the front line and they were defeated, these 10,000 soldiers wouldn't be enough to defeat the 30,000 in Shicheng.
He arrived at Ji Wan's tent in just a few steps. Sure enough, the two soldiers guarding the door did not stop him, which proved that Ji Wan did not rest.
As soon as I entered, I found that there were quite a few people in the tent, including Yang Guan, Cui Min, and the newcomers Zuo Yue and Gong Xu.
"Mr. Xingzhi, you've arrived at the right time. Please tell him what you just said." Ji Wan said to the messenger scout in front of him.
Xingzhi is Cao Ke's pen name.
The scout repeated it to Cao Ke.
Cao Ke listened carefully before speaking, "Military Advisor, the enemy's vanguard has already left the city. Can our army respond? According to the enemy's intentions, if they only have the vanguard, then a surprise attack is very likely."
Cui Min withdrew his gaze from the map and confirmed, "We've already set up an ambush along the route they must take. If there's only one vanguard, the possibility of a surprise attack is indeed high."
The other party is really acting like a rebel, not even planning to follow the pre-war etiquette!
However, Cui Min had already prepared a plan to deal with it.
Ji Wan's army was stationed in a distant mountain forest. The terrain of this mountain was very flat and it was at the back of the entire front line.
The entire stone city is sandwiched between two higher hills. These two hills not only occupy natural barriers, but can basically eliminate the possibility of invasion by enemy troops.
Although he restricted the entrances and exits of the city to three, if the people inside did not come out, Cui Min had no choice but to resort to a forceful attack.
But now, the situation has changed!
Just got the news from Tuoba Feng, when the people of Shicheng were marching, they could only march in a long line like a thin line in order to allow their horses to pass quickly through the narrow road between the two mountains.
The other party took the initiative to send people out. What's the difference between this and sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?
The necessary route Cui Min had just mentioned was just outside the two mountains. Once the soldiers left the area between the two mountains, they would naturally change their formation, from one that was convenient for marching to one that was convenient for fighting.
What Cui Min did was to wait until the enemy was about to move from the narrow road to the wide road and change formation, and then attack at this point to catch the enemy off guard.
