Chapter 793: Sunrise in the East (18)

Liaoning Wei geographical location is very important, stuck out of the Panshan, attack Helin, Yulin's main road, this city used to be in the hands of the Donghu people, the Donghu people also attached great importance to it, this city has been constantly expanding and reinforced, the defense of 5,000 people, it is really a little stretched, Meng Chong now does not even have a reserve in his hands, he needs to hold on here for at least ten days, the defenders of Panshan are five days away from here, of course, this has to be the whole army lightly armed and hurrying, considering the time it takes for the messenger to rush to Panshan, When they arrived here, it was conservatively estimated that it would take about eight days, and it would take even longer for Yan Haibo, who was resting in the Niulanshan camp, to arrive, not more than half a month, so don't think about it.

In other words, Meng Chong had to deal with the attack of tens of thousands of Donghu people for about ten days without reserves.

Outside the Liaoning Wei, the corpses were stacked layer by layer, almost all of them were soldiers of the Agu clan who were forced to attack the city, these soldiers who were poorly equipped because they were prisoners, under the rain of crossbow arrows on the city, there was almost no power to fight back, only a very small number of people rushed to the city wall, set up a ladder, and barely climbed to the top of the city, but under the strong counterattack at the head of the city, even if they were suppressed, in just half a day, these Agu soldiers who were forced to attack the city were almost killed and wounded.

Meng Chong sat in the city tower, carefully folding his big sword, this battle, I am afraid that I, the commander of the army, will also go into battle shirtless, when Yu Wenke launches a formal attack, it will not be so easy.

The siege techniques of the Donghu people are not as rusty as in previous years, and after several years of training by the generals of the Qi and Yan countries, their siege tactics have also begun to become familiar and tough, and all kinds of siege equipment have also increased. At least for now, Meng Chong was above the city, observing the rear ranks of the Donghu people. Improvised, improvised siege engines have been erected, improvised trebuchets. Rushing cars and other things, he also saw some.

"Commander Meng, He Dayou asks to see! Duan Qianli, another division commander under Meng Chong, strode in, saluted Meng Chong, and said.

"Who is He Dayou? Meng Chong couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't seem to have heard of this name.

"Commander Meng, He Dayou is the person in charge of transporting grain and grass materials in Jishi County." Duan Qianli replied.

Meng Chong frowned, "Didn't you already let all these people evacuate Liaoning Wei?" Why is he still here? "

"This He Dayou. Unlike the people in charge of other places, he is the village chief of Baiyang Village, Jishi County, and was once praised as the village head of the first village in the world by the Governor, and this person was also a soldier of the Eastern Army before, and none of the more than 1,000 people he brought from Jishi County left." Duan Qianli said.

Hearing that He Dayou was also a soldier before, Meng Chong's frowning brows stretched a little, "It turned out to be the former Paoze brother, let him in, I know his thoughts." But those people, what can they do, even if they have some military training."

He Dayou limped in front of Meng Chong, he was wearing a brand-new military uniform of the Eastern Army, facing Meng Zhong's somewhat puzzled gaze, he saluted Meng Chong and said with a smile: "Commander Meng, this military uniform was given to me by the army when I retired, but without the identification number of the army, it is purely a commemoration, but every time I transport logistics materials for the troops." I'll take it with me, maybe someday. I'll be able to put it back on and kill the Doke, this time. Looks like it works."

Listening to He Dayou Shuanglang's laughter, Meng Chong couldn't help but feel good, sure enough, he was born in the military, his temperament was straightforward, and there were not so many twists and turns, "Village Chief He, you are a very valued figure by the governor, I don't know what year you quit the army due to injury?" "

He Dayou said with a smile: "It's too early, at that time, the governor was still the military cao of Fufeng, I followed the governor to Yuyang, and after the battle, my leg was injured, and after being cured, I was lame, so I had to leave the army and go to Baiyang Village to become a village chief."

As soon as he heard this, Meng Chong couldn't help but be in awe, he had participated in the Battle of Yuyang, he was really a veteran, longer than he had been following the governor for a longer time, in the Eastern Army, there were not many people like Meng Chong now, and they were all in high positions.

"Sit, Village Chief He." Meng Chong personally dragged a chair and sat down according to He Qianli, "I also followed the governor when I was in Yuyang, speaking of which, we are old comrades-in-arms."

"That's, that's! He Dayou said with a smile: "The scene when we sang military songs together in the barracks back then is still vivid in my mind!" "

Meng Chong smiled and nodded, "Lao He, since I am an old comrade-in-arms, I don't talk around the corner, I understand what you mean, I want to bring your people to help me defend the city, but Lao He, they are people after all, although they have received some training, they are not warriors after all, now Yu Wenke under the city is like a mad dog, the battle will become more and more fierce day by day, let them go to the city, send them to death in vain, and return to Jishi County, where is not to serve the governor!" "

Hearing Meng Chong say this, He Dayou's face couldn't help but change, and he said unhappily: "Commander Meng, you are looking down on us, I don't dare to say anything about the militia in other places, but our Baiyang Village, that's second to none, haven't you heard that the two division commanders of the Young Guards almost fought in order to snatch the youth of our Baiyang Village into their hands?" Our militia is usually peasants, but when they go to the battlefield, they are soldiers."

"I know that! Meng Chong smiled bitterly: "But those well-trained youths, aren't they all recruited by the Young Guards?" "

"The recruitment of the Young Guards is too strict, with various restrictions, which makes us there, there are still many capable guys who can't enter, these people, and there are a lot of veterans, although they have left the army for various reasons, but they are all good at the battlefield, but the ambition is still there,,, I have more than a thousand people, just waiting for Commander Meng to review it under the city! "

Meng Chong looked at Duan Qianli, "Okay." Let's take a look at the majesty of the athletes in Jishi County."

Walking out of the city gate building, Meng Chong stood on top of the city and looked down, below the city head. A group of people in different clothes were standing there in a neat queue. Each of these people wore a waist knife, which was a privilege given to the people under the rule of Zhengdongfu, and all the people could carry weapons with them, such as knives and guns, and the people under Zhengdong Province had them in almost every household, of course. Things like bows and crossbows still won't work.

In the queue of more than 1,000 people, there are about 100 people wearing old military uniforms, it looks like they should be veterans, and they should also be the leaders of the various squads of the more than 1,000 people.

The so-called layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway. A battlefield veteran like Meng Chong was already thrilled just by looking at it. It's like a bunch of people, it's just a well-trained army.

"Our Baiyang Village, where people are basically inhabited by retired soldiers and their families, as well as their relatives and friends, unlike other places where military training is carried out in the slack season, military training in our village is one of the daily work, which is to learn, and the little ones are in addition to studying. There are never bad instructors, and there are not only Yan people in the village. There are still a lot of Huns, so the young people who went out from our village. Not only is it good at foot combat, it is equestrian, it is also first-class good, what do you think of our team? He Dayou said proudly.

Meng Chong stared at this team for a long time, then turned around and stretched out his hand to He Dayou, "Welcome to the Eastern Group Army."

He Dayou was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and shook Meng Chong tightly, then took a step back and gave a military salute to Meng Chong: "Commander Meng, please arrange a combat mission for us."

Meng Chong smiled, "It's not in a hurry, your team will change their outfits and weapons first, and use them as reserves first, Lao He, my subordinates, but there is no one to prepare, your team can be regarded as solving a big problem for me."

"Got it! "He Dayou is a veteran, so he naturally knows that since Meng Chong has accepted his team, it can be regarded as a soldier under the command of the other party, and in the face of orders, there is only obedience and no room for bargaining.

He limped down the tower, walked to his team, and loudly announced Meng Chong's decision to these people, and as his words landed, more than a thousand people suddenly burst into cheers, Meng Chong noticed that some of the veterans in old military uniforms even wiped their tears.

"It's all good soldiers! Meng Chong looked at this qiē with mixed feelings, turned to Duan Qianli and said, "The governor has such an army and such a people, how can he not win?" How dare you not win! "

Duan Qianli also nodded again and again, "Experienced veterans are all treasures, that is, our Eastern Army is so extravagant, so many experienced veterans have been released to the township."

Meng Chong laughed, pointed to the more than 1,000 people who were changing their outfits and weapons under the leadership of the quartermaster, and said, "If there is no such extravagant thing, where will these well-trained militiamen come from?" Qianli, the militia of Baiyang Village is indeed much better than the militia in other places, but in the entire area controlled by Zhengdong Prefecture, the governor can gather hundreds of thousands of troops with an order, and outsiders see that we have less than 100,000 horses in Zhengdong Mansion so far, but as long as the governor is willing, he can raise an army that makes all countries tremble at any time."

Duan Qianli suddenly said: "Commander, this move is high, if we Zhengdong Mansion maintains a large number of troops all year round, the cost of the army alone will make Zhengdong Mansion unbearable, but this move is to raise soldiers for the people, these retired veterans ensure the combat effectiveness of the militia organization, and they can also save a lot of military expenses for Zhengdong Mansion, high, really high!" "

Meng Chong chin slightly, his eyes looked in the direction of Zhengdong Mansion, when Gao Yuan made this decision, he should have thought so, the governor was far-sighted and prepared for a rainy day, which made people have to admire it very much. (To be continued)
