An Zihe ordered the various departments: "The 3,000 men of the supplementary brigade will be combined with the 2,000 people after the change of clothes, and immediately go north to garrison outside the city of Guiyang Prefecture, remember, only garrison in place, do not take the initiative to attack, if the enemy army has a small force to attack, resolutely strike, and among the puppet Ming thief army, if the main force of the puppet Ming thief army comes out of the city to attack, then quickly retreat."

And keep the news smooth at any time, this official must always know the movements of the Ming army in Guiyang Prefecture! ”

If the Ming army in Guiyang Prefecture is mobilized in a big way, even if it can be blocked by the ability of the supplementary brigade, I am afraid it will also suffer heavy losses, so such a situation cannot occur, once the main force of the Ming army in the place attacked, and came to the outside of Chenzhou to try to attack back and forth, then An Zihe would directly give up the plan to storm Chenzhou and make another plan.

As for taking advantage of the fact that after the puppet Ming thief army came out, they directly turned around and fought a siege to help, and the Ming army was not stupid, and it had become a frightened bird, I am afraid that as soon as they retreat from Chenzhou City, they will immediately retract back to Guiyang City.

However, An Zihe estimated that the Ming army in Guiyang Prefecture should not have the courage to come out, after all, three thousand supplementary soldiers, in addition to no actual combat experience, insufficient training, and weak combat effectiveness, other aspects seem to be no different from the regular army, even if the two thousand people after changing clothes look at it from a distance, the puppet Ming thief army is estimated to be unable to find out that this is just a disguised army of the people.

So what they see will be '5,000 real thieves', in the face of 5,000 real thieves, they probably don't have the courage to go out of the city, if there is, the 3rd Infantry Regiment was only 3,000 people stationed before, and they should go out of the city to meet the battle at that time.

Immediately, An Zihe continued to order: "The provisional fourth regiment is ready to attack the city, the artillery position must be prepared in advance, and tomorrow there will be a tentative attack, find out the defense of the puppet Ming thief army, and prepare for the final general attack!" ”

"The Third Infantry Regiment, after changing guards with the First Supplementary Brigade, rushed to Chenzhou, and at the same time prepared to storm the city, whether this can reach the head of the city depends on your Third Infantry Regiment!"

The 3rd Infantry Regiment was a purely cold weapon unit, mainly equipped with bows and arrows, spears, swords and shields, and this kind of siege warfare was the only place where they could play a greater role.

Therefore, Anzihe also used the 3rd Infantry Regiment as the main force of the first wave of storming the city, while the 4th Infantry Regiment was temporarily formed to provide fire cover and follow-up attacks.

Immediately, a group of officers said in unison: "Obey!" ”

Hearing that everyone under his command was full of confidence, An Zihe said: "Well, this time we will go all out and take Chenzhou directly, and then gather troops to conquer Guiyang Prefecture after taking it, and completely clear the rear for the northbound army!" ”

"After this victory, An will personally ask for credit for you!"

As An Zihe made the final decision, many troops began to move!

However, the first to move was naturally not the provisional Fourth Regiment or the Third Infantry Regiment, but the recruits of the First Supplementary Brigade!

More than 20 miles outside the city of Guiyang Prefecture, an army of more than 5,000 people wearing blue clothes and red pants was rapidly advancing northward.

This is exactly the first supplementary regiment under the 1st Supplementary Brigade, and the soldiers in it are all new recruits, without the slightest combat experience, and even intermediate and advanced training can not be completed.

At this time, several soldiers with muskets in the queue were chatting with each other while following the team!

"Brother Niu, you are well-informed, do you know that we are going there this time, are we going to fight Guiyang Prefecture?" A private, who was slightly short in stature, but was extremely stout, said: "According to our current direction and speed, I'm afraid we will arrive in Guiyang Prefecture tomorrow!" ”

At this time, a slightly lame sergeant beside him walked tall and short, and said, "Fight Guiyang Prefecture?" Just us? Don't think about it, just those of you recruits who haven't even completed their training, I'm afraid you will be scattered if you are bombarded by the cannons of the puppet thief army! ”

According to the normal situation, this kind of disabled soldier who has been left behind is allowed to retire directly, and then return to his hometown with the land and pension he has been allocated, and the lightly injured can enjoy the preferential treatment of the disabled discharge policy of exempting agricultural tax for five years and halving the agricultural tax after five years.

And those who have lost their labor force are exempt from agricultural taxes forever!

Although there is a limit to the number of fields that can be covered by the disability and veterans' preferential treatment policy, it is impossible to say how many fields you can enjoy this policy, but it is enough for a family of several ordinary farmers to enjoy this preferential treatment.

If you have lost your labor force and cannot farm, or you have no labor force at home to farm, you can also rent out the land directly to collect rent, in short, your future life is still guaranteed.

If the disability is not very serious, but only slightly disabled, you can also get the arrangement of discharge and transfer, arrange for the factory of the Ministry of Industry or return to your hometown to serve as a patrol officer, of course, and divide the field and arrange a job to receive a salary, then the preferential agricultural tax will naturally be gone.

But he retired after being disabled, this is only the choice of most of the disabled soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but it is not the choice of the sergeant called Brother Niu in front of him, there is no one in his family for a long time, why, they all starved to death, only he was single, and he fought all his life, and began to recruit soldiers in the Ming Army at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and was later captured first as a garrison of the Tang Dynasty, and then when he entered the regular army of the Tang Dynasty and became a musketeer, his military career exceeded time.

Moreover, he also got the rank of sergeant in the Tang Army, and he began to read and write, so he thought about applying for the martial arts academy.

It's a pity that in the previous battle of Zhaoqing, he was unlucky to be injured, after his right leg was injured, he didn't walk smoothly, he asked him if he wanted to retire, and promised to be treated well, after he retired as a sergeant, he could directly arrange to serve as a superintendent in the local patrol force, but he didn't want to, how could this retired patrol officer be a soldier, especially his non-commissioned officer treatment is not low, and he is also ready to apply for the martial arts academy.

However, if you want to continue to be a soldier, this main force will definitely not be able to stay, a cripple will not be able to carry a musket and play line combat with his comrades, and there will be no way to launch a bayonet charge with his comrades.

So in the end, the boss transferred him to the 1st Supplementary Brigade, and because of his injuries, he was promoted to the rank of 1st rank and became a sergeant.

After arriving at the 1st Supplementary Brigade, although he was still on active duty, his main job was no longer to fight, but to train soldiers and pass on his own combat experience to those recruits.

You don't have to go to the front line to train some recruits desperately, you can get the salary of a sergeant, and your life is relatively stable, he spent more than ten taels of silver some time ago, and married a white and tender little jasper.

With this kind of life, Niu Er is quite satisfied!

At this time, he slightly despised the young private next to him who had just completed the training of the recruit camp and was assigned to the first supplementary brigade, and then said: "Don't think about it, where to fight, whether to fight or not, these are the business of the commanders, it's not your turn to think, just obey the order!" ”

As soon as he heard the words "obey the order", the young private said, "That's for sure, we must obey the order!" ”

From the first day of the young private's enlistment in the army, he was constantly told that the most important thing in joining the army was not how much ability he had, but obeying orders.

Obedience to orders, these four words are almost the core of the Tang Army, whether it is a soldier or an officer, they are constantly instilled with the concept of obedience to orders, day by day, never stopped, enough to let these recruits know: When the boss gives the order to move forward, even if there is a rain of bullets ahead, then you must move forward!

Is it so cruel?

It's brutal!

But actual combat is more brutal than training!

In the Battle of Haojing, the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of the 17th Infantry Regiment under the 6th Infantry Division, who were under the guns of the Franc Robot, walked step by step to a place only 30 meters away from the Franc Robot and fired a volley, and then launched a bayonet charge!

Without brutal training, the almost brainwashing indoctrination of soldiers into the importance of obeying orders, it is impossible for these soldiers to continue to move forward as if they did not see their comrades falling, and then did not shoot until they were thirty meters away!

The combat methods of modern armies are so cruel!

The 3,000 reinforcements in the 1st Supplementary Brigade and the civilians who wore military uniforms and carried cold weapons did not go directly to the city of Guiyang Prefecture as the young privates expected, but entered a friendly garrison at the beginning of the night.

At the same time, Niu Er and the young privates did not know, and similarly, the Ming troops in the city four or five miles away did not know, that night, the soldiers in the Third Infantry Regiment had been completely overnight.

By the next day, there were only 3,000 reinforcements of the 1st Replenishment Brigade and 2,000 civilians left in this camp.

As for the 3rd Infantry Regiment, it had already left overnight, and it was still rushing during the day, they had to rush to Chenzhou, and then cooperate with the provisional 4th Regiment to launch a fierce attack on Chenzhou.

Although the Ming army in the city of Guiyang Prefecture also noticed that it was not normal, because at night, they saw that the pseudo-Tang thief army camp outside the city was brightly lit, and many fire dragons went in and out, and they didn't have to guess to know that it must be a large-scale transfer of the pseudo-Tang thief army, and at first they thought that the pseudo-Tang thief army was going to attack the city the next morning, so many people did not sleep well and strengthened the defense of the city.

But they didn't wait for the siege of the puppet Tang thief army, but the Chenzhou city ushered in the first attack of the puppet Tang thief army!

When the 3rd Infantry Regiment evacuated Guiyang Prefecture and rushed to Chenzhou, the provisional 4th Regiment outside Chenzhou City also launched a tentative attack on Chenzhou to prepare for the follow-up general attack!
