823 Preparation
Dong Zhuo heard a headache, the reason is very simple, because the simple use of artillery and infantry, Dong Zhuo's army does not have much victory, if you use cavalry to attack, it seems that the chance of victory is not very big, because their morale is relatively low, if you take the initiative to attack, the victory of the infantry is very large? Apparently not so. Therefore, Dong Zhuo still has a headache about this, if he can properly handle such a thing, he naturally hopes to be able to properly handle such a thing, but unfortunately, the discussion comes and goes. Many problems remain unresolved.
For example, the advantage of firearms in a defensive state is okay, but if you take the initiative, who knows what problems will arise.
You know, they have just been reorganized, and their morale has only recovered slightly, how can they attack, the number of artillery shells is insufficient, and most importantly, the old artillery that has been added in is the old artillery cast before the imperial court, which is too heavy, if such a cannon launches an attack, it is not suitable at all, and the defense is okay, and it is impossible to open the situation all at once.
In short, it seems that the offense doesn't have much power, but if you don't have too much strength to attack, you really don't know how to act.
The generals noisily thought that their plan was feasible, which was not a good thing for Dong Zhuo, and many things could not carry out a decisive plan.
"Take the initiative, I have a plan, I don't know if it's feasible?" Li Dao whispered to Dong Zhuo at this time.
"Oh? What's the plan? Dong Zhuo asked quickly.
"My lord, it's a counter-plot. Lu Bu is such a figure. The lord loves it very much, if he can instigate Lu Bu to take refuge in the lord. Li Dao said.
"Wonderful. It's just how to get Lu Bu to take refuge in me. Dong Zhuo said.
"The lord can leave it to me to deal with." Li Dao took the initiative to ask Ying. Li Dao knows very well that Lu Bu's situation, if they continue to attack, they will not be able to open the situation, but they are unwilling to simply defend, plus Ding Yuan is enthusiastic about Luoyang, this matter must be very urgent, the more urgent, the more they are given some opportunities.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Dong Zhuo nodded and agreed, if they could use the counter-strategy, this was the best way, after all, they had not yet researched a feasible plan.
Inside Luoyang City. Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were also concerned about this defensive operation.
"Well, it stopped." Xi Zhicai said helplessly.
"This is an inevitability, after all, the soldiers are not equipped with firearms, if they have enough firearms, there may be some opportunities, but at present, it seems that there are no such possibilities." He said. It was a great missed opportunity for him.
"It is true that the soldiers of the state lacked firearms, and when they attacked the third line of defense, the ammunition fired was like heavy rain from the sky. The most terrible thing is that the shells are aimed directly at the fire, who can withstand such a crazy shot. It seems that it is no longer possible to prevent such a fiasco. Xi Zhicai said.
Cao Cao was silent, and the defeat of the state soldiers was already doomed. They did not accept more advanced things, on the contrary, they rejected, could not accept advanced weapons, and naturally fell behind. This puts them in a disadvantageous situation, and besides, with the cessation of the offensive of the state soldiers, it means that the offensive and defensive sides are switching, once an emergency occurs, this offensive and defensive situation will change, once the other party cannot defend it, it is impossible to solve such a situation, in such a situation, this is absolutely unfavorable. This situation makes them seem very passive. This is perhaps the most disadvantageous point for them at the moment. This kind of thing makes them very bad.
Luzhou, reorganized the Fifth Infantry Regiment.
The sound of military music continued to come, and all kinds of military music tunes made the morale of the soldiers fluctuate.
Military music began to become the standard equipment of every infantry regiment, and this was a way for the staff to try to solve the problem of soldiers' morale, and they required each infantry regiment to have its own military music, so as to integrate the combat of the infantry regiment to the greatest extent. But the staff does not provide relevant soundtrack talents, they only provide some instruments, such as trombone, military horn, snare drum and so on. In short, just a few simple instruments. But this is the most basic orchestral music. This instrument can maximize the courage of soldiers to fight, and the benefits are obvious.
However, there is a big dilemma in terms of soundtrack. Because for these military music, most people just how to make them sound. As for making a good tune, it became a big problem.
"We don't have the talent to do that, but we can use our talents. Many soldiers are very curious about the new military music, and the soldiers come from many other places, and they can sing and hum their natural folk tunes. In short, they used various ways to add their hometown tunes to the mix, and compiled them into the most powerful military music. Cao Ang wrote.
"A lot of it happens that we can't control ourselves. For example, soldiers miss their hometowns, and some write their daughters-in-law who have not passed through the door into it, and I don't know what will happen if such military music is written in. But our regimental commander does not seem to object, and from what I know, this is happening in other regiments. Their regimental commander was in morale considerations. And no more criticism was made. Or against such a thing, as long as their military music can boost morale, no one will oppose it. That's what they're going to do right now. Cao Ang wrote.
Military music allows soldiers to listen to the tune of their hometown, they feel at home, and more soldiers like their dream lovers. In comparison, being a soldier and fighting a war is to better marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, and with military exploits, women will look at themselves more. This motivates the soldiers even more to be motivated by the governor.
There were a lot of tunes at once, and soldiers came from many places, but maybe the tune could be understood by everyone, no matter what kind of country sound came out of their mouths. They always make the soldiers feel relatable, and that's probably the main role of music.
"I am more concerned about our roads than about military music, and it is said that some of the new military units have been formed, most of which are related to sappers, who are constantly building roads, widening some roads so that more carriages can pass there, and in addition to this, some sections of the road have also been paved with railways, mainly for transporting ammunition. We are actively making final preparations. Cao Ang wrote.
Cao Ang knew very well what was behind these roads, and if he wanted to complete the transportation of more logistics units, the Republican Army did not have any obstacles in transporting vehicles, because in many states, various vehicle factories were established, and they could produce more and more vehicles, and there was no shortage of horses. Although they were largely unable to meet the requirements of the horses, the Republican Army had strict horse requirements, and the Republican Army had always wanted to build a more efficient cavalry force, but alas, their horses were never satisfied, because their cavalry had used horses. As a result, the combat efficiency of the cavalry was largely reduced, which was easy to lose. That's why the Republican Army has such strict requirements.
Military horses can't meet the demand, but there are still horses, and there are some cattle that can also be satisfied. Of course. Cao Ang also learned about another type of livestock, the mule. Mules are obtained by crossing donkeys and horses. The artillery of the Republican Army badly needed such a livestock as their traction. Mules are hard-working and hard-working. Despite their infertileness, mules have many, many advantages. For a time, the Republican Army bred mules on a large scale, and the number of mules increased rapidly. Because their artillery needs this new animal power.
All the newly commissioned mules were handed over to the artillery unit, and they were to follow the artillery in future battles.
The mule was the new transport force of the Republican Army. Because many times horses are not competent for the transfer of artillery. Of course, there are many more sapper units. Perhaps most of them don't care much about such troops, but Cao Ang knows very well the significance of the engineering troops.
After going south from Taihang Mountain, there will be a long road leading to Luoyang, and the local roads are in very poor condition. The Republican Army had already encountered such a situation when they were fighting in the annexation of states, and if they were to encounter such a similar situation again, one can imagine what kind of bad situation would be.
Therefore, most of the republican army's subsequent increase in troops is mainly to increase the number of engineer troops, and the main purpose of these engineering troops is not to build defensive fortresses, roads have become their first priority, as long as they can open the road to Luoyang, the republican army can ensure a big victory in front of them.
At this time, the various staff roles of the Republican Army were extremely useful. Because they are noticing any detail that may occur on the battlefield. These details can avoid their various disasters to the greatest extent, which is an advantage of a new development model for them, such an advantage, can avoid the development of more disaster situations to the greatest extent, and in such a situation, their advantages will become much more powerful.
In fact, the general staff of the Republican Army is doing this, and they are constantly transferring some experienced junior officers to serve on the staff officers, because their experience can help them solve more practical problems, which is more powerful for them to solve the problems they actually encounter. Staff officers are no longer simply sitting in the office, but more need experience and ability. This is an important point in the evaluation of staff officers.
