Chapter 183: The Fall of Nanze
Just when Ouyang Yuhui and Cheng Dajun were discussing how to deal with the firearms of the Vermilion Bird Army, the Vermilion Bird Army had already launched an attack on Nanze Mansion!
Dawn is the time of the day when people are most sleepy and relaxed. After a night of recuperation, the Suzaku Army quietly assembled and completed all the preparations before the siege.
At the same time, small units were sent to quietly fill the moat while the enemy did not find it.
"Oh......!"
A soldier guarding the city yawned on the tower, and it was dark outside the city that he couldn't see anything clearly. Just when he squinted his eyes again and was about to sleep for a while, he vaguely seemed to hear something,
So he rubbed his eyes and looked down at the city, and then he saw that the Suzaku army under the city was quietly carrying sandbags like ants.
"Enemy attack!"
The soldier was shocked when he saw this, and immediately shouted urgently.
And this shout instantly broke the peace on the city tower, and the co-ordinator who was guarding the city couldn't help but change his face after being awakened, and then immediately ordered: "Throw the torch quickly!" Throw the torches! ”
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
Immediately after that, dozens of torches were thrown under the city, and then the light of the torches showed the river-filling troops of the Suzaku Army under the city at a glance.
When the co-organizer saw this, he immediately shouted, "Everyone is up, hurry up and prepare!" The enemy is coming! ”
Then there was an instant uproar in the city, and everyone was awakened.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! ”
At the same time, under the orders of the defending officers, the archers began to fire arrows, intending to expel the Suzaku soldiers who were filling the river.
"Boom......!"
"Boom......!"
"Boom......!"
However, the officers and soldiers defending the city had only released a few arrows, and a burst of shells exploded above the city.
Now that it has been exposed, there is no need to remain silent. Therefore, the Suzaku Army artillery battalion, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately opened fire and suppressed the head of the city.
Although it was exposed too early, most of the moat had already been filled, so under the cover of the artillery battalion, the remaining moat was quickly filled.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Then the Suzaku Army launched an attack on Nanze Mansion, and it was still the original siege three-plate axe, and the tricks were not too old to work.
So when the first rays of sunlight in the morning hit Nanze Castle, the Suzaku Army had already invaded the castle and quickly completed the occupation of the entire city.
After occupying Nanze Mansion, Li Yun ordered Zhao Xin and Hu Lingyun to continue eastward to put pressure on the imperial court. On the other hand, the main force stayed in Nanze Castle for repairs, because since the eastward advance, the Suzaku Army has fought a series of battles, not only the soldiers are extremely tired, but also the ammunition is seriously depleted and needs to be replenished urgently.
At the same time, many prisoners were captured in successive battles, and Li Yun also took this opportunity to reorganize them.
The so-called reorganization is not to integrate them into combat units, but to reorganize them into engineering teams, which are specially used for the repair of official roads in the rear and the construction workers of other projects.
In fact, these ordinary soldiers in the feudal era served as soldiers to support their families, and they did not have the great feelings of their family and country. Moreover, the imperial officials did not pay attention to the ideological education and cultural training of ordinary soldiers.
Therefore, for ordinary soldiers, whoever pays them food and pay, they will give their lives. Therefore, in ancient wars, for the captured ordinary soldiers, most of them were integrated into their own armies by the victors.
However, the Suzaku Army was not an ordinary army, and since the founding of the army, Li Yun has attached great importance to the political and ideological work of the soldiers. So even if these people can use it, Li Yun will not directly integrate them into his army.
At the very least, it should be placed in the rear and ideological education should be carried out for a period of time, so that the reorganization can be carried out according to the situation.
So taking advantage of the last glimmer of tranquility before the war, the Suzaku Army repaired in Nanze Castle and hoarded a large number of weapons and ammunition. After receiving the information about the fall of Nanze City, the Tiger Army also accelerated its march and rushed towards the Suzaku Army.
"The marching speed of this Tiger Army is really fast!" Glancing at the information sent by Maoyan, Li Yun couldn't help but sigh.
In the end, it was as elite as the Tiger Wei Army, and the speed of the Tiger Army's march was much faster than Li Yun expected. Originally, Li Yun thought that it would take seven days for the Tiger Army to arrive at Nanze Mansion at the earliest, but he didn't expect that it would take them only four days to arrive.
Putting down the information in his hand, Li Yun immediately asked, "How are the various troops repaired?" ”
"Big brother, don't worry, the shortage of all units has been replenished, and the ammunition has been distributed according to the base. And after a few days of repair, the brothers have also regained their sharpness, this time let's weigh the weight of this tiger army. Xu Tianhua replied confidently.
"Okay, let the brothers be ready and don't be careless."
"No!"
The Vermilion Bird Army is extremely strict in governing the army, but it must also be relaxed, otherwise the bowstring that is too tight will break at any time. And the soldier is hovering on the edge of life and death, and the mental pressure is even greater.
In order to relieve the pressure of the soldiers, Li Yun instructed the Political Department to give the officers and men of Suzaku a channel to relax and vent in a reasonable way.
Therefore, in this repair, the Suzaku Army not only paid a generous military salary, but also bounties and vacation subsidies from previous wars, so every Suzaku officer and soldier made a windfall. Although most of the officers and soldiers sent back the general's salary, some were left for eating, drinking, and merrymaking.
But in this way, a large number of sturdy men with silver taels poured into the city, and it was inevitable that something would happen, in order to ensure that there would be no disturbance to the people. The Political Department sent a large number of gendarmes to patrol the streets to prevent the officers and soldiers from causing trouble.
At the same time, in order to provide those officers and soldiers with a suitable place for recreation, the Suzaku Army cooperated with many green buildings in the city and set up military clubs. This not only ensures safety, but also gives those officers and soldiers a place to go.
Although some Qinglou were not happy, the Vermilion Bird Army would not ask for their opinions. Therefore, under the toughness of the Vermilion Bird Army, coupled with the fact that there is money to be made, most of the Qinglou are still very acquainted.
But no matter how well it is arranged, when those soldiers who have just drunk alcohol meet each other, fights and brawls are absolutely inevitable.
"Haha...... You don't know, I knocked the patrol battalion officer off his horse with one shot, and this dagger was found on him. After drinking some wine, one of the Suzaku soldiers pulled out a beautiful dagger and showed it off.
"Cut! What is this? Look at me! ”
Another Suzaku soldier next to him was not convinced, and immediately took out a short sword, only to see that he pulled out his short sword and cut off the corner of the table with one sword.
"Click!"
"Wow!"
"It's so sharp!"
The people around looked at it and exclaimed, after all, there is a soldier who doesn't love the divine soldier!
