Fifty thousand versus one hundred and fifty thousand, it's going to be difficult to win no matter how you look at it.
Even though the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty were all strong and could fight one against two.
But the problem is that there is a river running through the middle, so there will definitely be more troubles.
Of course, there is one thing they didn't say.
That's it.
By now, the movements of my side have probably been clearly discovered by Gaoyang State.
It's not that it's not secretive enough, it's just that with an army of 50,000, it's impossible to hide it no matter how hard you try.
Besides, daily training is required!
"Don't worry, this is all within my expectations." Song Hongzhi thought for a moment and continued, "Inform the entire army. Starting today, all training is suspended. Also, have the Quartermaster Department prepare improved meals for all soldiers tonight. Everyone must be well fed."
"Also, pull out all the bows and crossbows, weapons, and ships that have been built during this period."
"Tell all the soldiers that the battle is about to begin. The first one to cross the river will be rewarded handsomely!"
What?
Is a war about to begin?
All the deputy generals present were shocked when they heard this.
Knowing that the prince of Gaoyang had arrived, the morale of the other side was high, and they had Xuancheng as their support, plus an army of 150,000.
In this situation, starting a war directly would be extremely stupid!
"General, absolutely not!"
Finally, a deputy general stepped forward and said, "We are completely at a disadvantage and still need to cross the river. If we start this battle, we will be completely defeated. General, please reconsider!"
"Please think twice, General!"
If you force an attack when you are not at the advantage at all, you are courting death.
The deputy generals had experienced wars before and knew that now was not the best time to send troops.
Even if they can successfully cross the river, there will inevitably be heavy losses. How many people will be left out of the 50,000 people?
So they felt that at this critical moment, they must stop it!
Song Hongzhi stood up and looked at everyone.
He knew what these people were thinking, so he didn't use his status to force them. He simply said, "Everyone, this general is well aware that because of my background and lack of military experience, although you have obeyed my recent orders, it is also because of your status that you have always been dissatisfied."
"But now, in the name of the current emperor's uncle, I am telling you that I, Song Hongzhi, have already planned this battle. It is a sure win!"
"At the same time, I, Song Hongzhi, swear an oath here. If this battle goes against me in the slightest and results in heavy losses for our side, I will definitely resign from my position as Commander of Liao Town and be punished by military law!"
"But now, please, everyone, believe me for once!"
Right now.
Song Hongzhi's voice reached everyone's ears, serious and firm.
He knew very well that these deputy generals had always been dissatisfied with him, but due to their status, they did not dare to say it out loud.
But now, the war is about to begin, and no place can be left out. We must be united.
But to achieve this, simply using identity to suppress will not be very effective.
The only way is to tell everyone your determination.
This is the first battle.
This was also his first battle in the military, so he couldn't be careless.
We must fight to shock the world!
Below, the deputy generals looked at each other after hearing this.
Indeed, they were not satisfied with the young commander of Liaozhen.
I often feel that the other party's decision is extremely stupid and will be a waste of the orders of the soldiers.
But these words made everyone silent. It was not because they were persuaded, but because they felt the determination in Song Hongzhi's tone, and this was in the capacity of the emperor's uncle.
So, after a moment of hesitation, they didn't say anything more, and immediately said in unison: "I understand."
Their idea was simple, as long as it was before the war really started.
Then there is a chance to salvage everything.
The Great Wei is the Great Wei after all.
And now, it would be better to listen to the military order again.
Song Hongzhi looked at everyone, a smile flashed in his eyes, and said, "Thank you very much."
After saying this, he turned to look at one of the lieutenants and continued, "The eight hundred soldiers that I personally trained some time ago are now showing initial results. Send a secret order and have them prepare tonight."
"Tonight?" The deputy general was stunned. Wasn't the food for the soldiers tonight to be improved?
However, although he had some doubts in his mind, he did not ask any questions. He nodded and went to prepare.
As for the other deputy generals, they looked at each other and didn't quite understand.
But I know.
Since it's done in secret, it can't be made public.
Song Hongzhi also gave the same instructions and asked everyone to leave.
He turned around and looked at the map of Gaoyang Kingdom. His eyes narrowed slightly and he said softly, "Brother-in-law Emperor, you have entrusted the battle concerning the majesty of the Great Wei to me. I will definitely not let you down."
"This time, I will let everyone in the world know what the consequences will be if they offend the Great Wei!"
Then he paused, took a deep breath, and left the tent.
And in the time that follows.
Because of Song Hongzhi's order, the sound of training at the garrison stopped.
All the bows and crossbows, as well as the ships built recently, were also pushed out.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Quartermaster Department took out a large part of the stored food to improve the food for the soldiers.
