Chapter 64: The Fortress of Death (Crying for Sanjiang Ticket)
Li Zhongyi told Huang Jingsheng: "You go and tell the fireman team to kill two sheep, cook a few meat dishes, boil a few large pots of mutton soup, steam some white rice, and when you rest, add food to these people." ”
In this era, too much attention is paid to the so-called "human * rights", which is self-seeking trouble, self-seeking and boring, and self-inflicted.
"Whoa." Huang Jingsheng agreed, but in his heart he was thinking that Gongzi was too lenient to these untouchables.
When the people heard that there was a mutton meal after finishing the work, they couldn't help cheering one by one, and shouted indiscriminately, "Thank you Dashuai, thank you Taiwei, thank you old parents......"
Alas, Li Zhongyi secretly sighed that the grass people of this era have too low requirements for the ruling class.
"Is there plenty of water in the mountains?" Although Li Zhongyi has long known that Yao Hong is very careful, the problem of drinking water is by no means a trivial matter, and he must ask clearly, he does not want to become "Ma Yan's second".
Yao Hong grinned and said, "Hui Xiangshuai, because several of the last general's subordinates have been hunting here for many years, and they are very familiar with the terrain, so finding a water source is not a problem at all. To tell you the truth, within a radius of twenty miles, there are only six springs on our mountain, four small and two large, and the water is enough to supply ten thousand troops and many livestock to drink. ”
"Oh." Li Zhongyi's heart moved slightly, and he asked Yao Hong, "According to what you say, if the Zhou army comes to attack us, it needs to carry water from afar?" ”
"Yes. If the enemy army is only attacking in small groups, it can solve the problem of drinking water. If the enemy has more than 1,000 troops, drinking water will be a problem. Yao Hong asserted confidently.
Well, Li Zhongyi is very satisfied, the township army has enough water to drink, and if Zhao Kuangyin comes to attack the cottage with a large army, he will obviously face the dilemma of lack of water to drink.
This place was well chosen, great, Li Zhongyi glanced at Guo Huai who was standing beside him with satisfaction, and he thought to himself, this good helper was not wrong.
In Li Zhongyi's impression, whether it is the republic in the previous life or the current era, Maxima has always been more than Bole.
Talent is everywhere, it depends on how you dig it and use it in the most appropriate position.
That night, except for the first and second battalions of the township army, which had the strongest combat strength, they camped and rested, and the rest of the township soldiers all joined in the reinforcement of the camp.
Li Zhongyi was still the same as last night, and completely handed over the major matter of building the village to Guo Huai, he only brought Huang Jingsheng, Wang Dahu and his personal tooth soldiers, and began to move around again.
Tonight's village is obviously quite different from last night, Li Zhong is easy to feel, the wall erected by the people is actually a wide wall with rammed earth in the middle.
Li Zhongyi walked to a walled wall under construction and took a closer look. He now has a wall about 1 zhang 4 feet (about 4 meters) high, and the sandwich rammed earth layer is about 3 feet 1 inch (about 1 meter) wide.
The people stepped barefoot on the soil, shouted in unison, held a large wooden stake in their arms, and smashed the surface of the rammed earth with all their might, striving to be smooth and strong.
According to Li Zhongyi's own thinking in private, this layer of rammed earth should be in case the enemy army crashes into the wooden wall, right?
Li Zhongyi was about to continue walking, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, it has long been said in history that the western fortress is more conducive to the defense of the defender than the straight city wall of China.
This kind of walled wall in a straight line in front of you, once the enemy army attacks under the wall, because of the big problem of dead ends, the defending soldiers need to poke out if they want to attack the enemy, which increases the great danger.
In this era, there are a large number of bow and crossbow troops in the regular forbidden armies of various countries, and in Li Zhongyi's opinion, Zhao Kuangyin's troops must be the same.
Every soldier who participated in the defense was precious, and Li Zhongyi was secretly glad that the construction of the walled wall had only started recently, and he still had time to make adjustments.
So, Li Zhongyi urgently stopped the construction and asked Guo Huai and Yao Hong to be found.
In front of Guo Huai and Yao Hong, Li Zhongyi squatted on the ground, drew a sketch in the shape of a fortress with stones, and solemnly confessed: "Be sure to tell everyone that the height of the wall can be appropriately reduced. However, the circular wooden fort that protruded not only had to be high, but also had to be repaired in advance with several layers of arrow holes. ”
After Li Zhongyi's detailed explanation, Guo Huai studied the sketches on the ground, and suddenly exclaimed, "Wonderful." In this way, our troops were able to attack the enemy from all directions, and the enemy forces were clearly unable to storm the city with all their might. ”
Seeing that Guo Huai understood the power of the fortress, Li Zhongyi threw away the stone in his hand and added: "The protruding part of the fortress must be pointed, and at least 2o soldiers must be stationed in it, half of which are crossbowmen. Moreover, between the two forts protruding from the wall, not too far away, so that the crossbowmen could cross and shoot accurately......"
When Guo Huai and Yao Hong thoroughly understood, Li Zhongyi stood up, patted the dust on his hands, and said with a smile: "As long as the quality of the fortress is passable, there are enough perforations for crossbowmen to use, and coupled with the dangerous terrain of this mountain, even if there are ten times more enemy troops, we don't need to worry." I'd like to see how many lives they have to fill in. ”
After solving the problem of the fortress, Li Zhongyi took the water bladder handed by Huang Jingsheng with satisfaction, drank a few sips of water, and continued to wander around.
Standing outside the wall, Li Zhongyi saw some people smearing mud on the wall over and over again, he couldn't help nodding secretly, Guo Huai's arrangement was just right to guard against the enemy's fire attack.
In the woods below the "dong dong ......" mountain, the sound of logging came out, which attracted Li Zhongyi's attention.
By the light of the torches, Li Zhongyi vaguely saw that the village soldiers seemed to be shirtless, wielding axes or machetes in their hands, and were struggling to cut down the trees around the camp.
Li Zhongyi touched his chin and thought about it, in addition to the wood needed to set up a camp, I'm afraid it also has the effect of preventing the enemy from setting fire from the bottom of the mountain, right?
Alas, it was still a mistake before I went out, and I knew that I needed to cut down trees overnight to repair the camp, so I should have brought a saw.
Li Zhongyi had another loophole, secretly annoyed, and really responded to the old saying, a thousand days at home are good, but everything is difficult to go out!
Sunny with an umbrella, full of dry food, prepared, worthy of a thousand years of wisdom.
Li Zhongyi circled around the wall, returned to the Chinese army's tent, and sat down to rest for a while.
While pinching his sore thigh muscles, he secretly rejoiced, sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in wartime, it really fucking works.
In the past few months, in order to facilitate the escape and at the same time want to set an example for the township army, Li Zhongyi gritted his teeth every day and insisted on marching with the township army in the morning exercise. By now, his leg strength has increased significantly.
Otherwise, with his previous weak body, let alone climbing the mountain, even if he walked such a long mountain road, he would have to lie down tired.
When Li Zhongyi was drinking mutton soup, the tooth soldiers outside the tent reported that Guo Huai and Yao Hong asked to see him.
At the beginning, in the initial stage of the township army, Li Zhongyi didn't care too much about these red tapes, and the senior officers of the township army could directly enter the door to see him anytime and anywhere.
It's just that Guo Huai has always insisted that the prestige of the coach should not be insulted, which is why the tooth soldier reporting system appeared.
"The sentinels have been sent, right?" Seeing Guo Huai and Yao Hong sitting on both sides, Li Zhongyi propped up one hand on a wooden board that temporarily served as a handsome case, and asked Guo Huai with a smile.
"The entire scout team is scattered, and the farthest is ten miles away." Guo Huai took the water cup handed to him by Huang Jingsheng and took a sip of water, "Xiang Shuai, the last general thinks that the brothers of the scout team have made a great contribution this time, and it seems that they should reward money and motivate ......"
Li Zhongyi thought for a while and said, "Well, what the scout team has done this time is not a great feat, but a miraculous feat. I see, not only to reward money, but also to wait for the war, but also to be popular in front of the whole army......"
Perhaps realizing that something was wrong, Li Zhongyi hurriedly swallowed the word big red flower and changed it to the word medal.
"The Big Red Medal?" Guo Huai had never heard of any medals or anything like that, and looked at Li Zhongyi in confusion.
"That's right, it's a medal." Li Zhongyi thought about it and said, "Starting from the third-class merit and going all the way to the special merit, you must be awarded in public." On weekdays, the brothers who wear medals can see the officials without kneeling. When the township army is disbanded and goes home, a third-class merit medal can be exchanged for five times, no, ten copper coins. The second-class merit medal can be exchanged for twenty copper coins, and so on. ”
Guo Huai and Yao Hong looked at each other, they didn't notice anything at all, and their minds were all focused on the four words "gather and disperse home".
What are you kidding, disband the township army and go home? Give up the real power in your hands so lightly?
Lao Tzu picked up his heart and lungs, and a strong army that gradually matured was disbanded so lightly?
Wealth and danger are sought! Fame, but take it right away!
Guo Huai and Yao Hong glanced at each other, and the moment their eyes met, they both saw each other's intentions clearly: never agree!
Seeing that Yao Hong wanted to open his mouth to persuade Li Zhongyi, Guo Huai shook his head slightly, signaling him with his eyes not to act rashly.
Guo Huai has been by Li Zhongyi's side for a long time, and he knows Li Zhongyi's temperament very well.
In Guo Huai's view, although Li Zhongyi does not know how to march and fight, he is humble and studious, not ashamed to ask questions, and is very willing to accept the reasonable advice of his subordinates.
As long as Li Zhongyi has a grasp of the specific situation, after careful consideration, there will always be unexpected but very effective schemes.
Guo Huai has been with many chiefs before, and there are only a handful of good commanders and good bosses who can really listen to the opinions of their subordinates.
It can be said that without Li Zhongyi's vigorous promotion, Guo Huai would not have the real power position of commanding thousands of armies under one person now. What's more, Li Zhongyi once saved Guo Huai's life.
In troubled times, human life is as cheap as a dog. At that time, Guo Huai was just a small deputy head, if it weren't for Li Zhongyi's kindness to come to the rescue, Guo Huai knew in his heart that he would have been buried in the mass grave.
Guo Huai, who understands Entu Bao, no matter what others think, in short, he is determined to follow Li Zhongyi.
"Xiangshuai, the untouchables in the countryside are really bitter. The reason why the last general wants to be a soldier and eat food is because his family is so poor that he can't open the pot. Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of your jokes, when the last general was recruited into the camp, he wore the same patch pants that his grandfather handed down.
"Xiang Shuai, if you are not forced to have no way, who wants to tattoo words on your face, be embarrassed everywhere, and hang your head on the waistband of your trousers and eat this kind of pickled angry rice?"
Guo Huai's very skillful euphemistic complaint really deeply moved Li Zhongyi and resonated with him.
To put it bluntly, the reason is actually very simple.
Li Zhongyi's ancestors have been poor ravine farmers for generations. If it weren't for the fact that the family was about to be unable to open the pot, Li Zhongyi's grandfather would not have taken the huge risk of losing his head and ran to join the Red Army.
Li Zhongyi secretly sighed, and when he drank water, he suddenly realized that it was not easy to pull up a team, but if he wanted to disband this team, it would be even more difficult.
In the process of Li Zhongyi's reorganization of the township army, all the officers and soldiers of Guo Huai's capital have seen blood and have combat experience, so Guo Huai's capital has become the backbone of the township army.
