"The Red Turbans must be crazy." Apu thought so.

The shells whistled and flew almost over their heads. With such frantic shooting, they couldn't raise their heads at all, they could only hide in the trench and watch the cannonballs fly by in the sky. At the same time, from time to time, they had to feel the fierce bombardment of the artillery, and the shells would hit the high ground fiercely, as long as they were in the trenches, everyone could feel that such a bombardment was terrible.

From time to time in the trenches, Apu could see the corpses that had been carried down, many of them mutilated, their flesh and blood were blurred, and they had either been hit by shells or had died of injuries and blood loss. Seeing such a scene, everyone was silent. This is the most brutal war.

The Red Turbans kept pressing on the high ground. After reaching the heights at a certain distance, they began to build fortifications. The first is sandbags. Then the trenches are dug and the artillery will gradually gather, and the musketeers will shoot frantically regardless of whether they can hit the opponent or not, as long as they can suppress the opponent, everything is worth it. They all think so anyway. To capture the Wheat Stack Heights. The only way is to pour their firepower. Only in this way will they be able to maintain a strong will to fight.

In the face of such an offensive, the Northern Army was completely in a state of passive beating, and their ** bag was not good. Because they are completely suppressed. Only a guy who doesn't want to die would do this, stick out his head and get shot, such a thing, for them, is too cruel. It was so cruel that they couldn't do anything, and in the face of such a situation, it would exacerbate the level of their losses.

The county seat of the Yang family is in full swing for the battle that is in full swing. Shang Wu and Jia Xu tried not to think about it as much as possible. Shangwu is actually still very worried. After all, the fighting there was fierce, the 2nd Regiment was the old foundation of the 2nd Brigade, and the three infantry battalions suffered relatively large losses. It looks like a wheat heap on the heights. It will be a great disaster for their development.

"Boom." A loud explosion was heard. A section of the city wall in Yang's county town collapsed with a bang. In another section, the blasted walls were quickly cleared and used as building materials for each household.

"The demolition of this city wall means that if we want to defend such a county in the future, there is no possibility?" Jia Xu looked at the bombed city wall and said.

The demolition of the city walls was an order of the martial arts. Because the development of a city cannot be stopped by the city wall, on the contrary, the influence of the prime minister is greater, which is extremely unfavorable to the development of the city. For a military attack, the demolition of the city walls meant that they had abandoned the last defense. Shangwu can only be carried out in the form of mobile combat, and the city wall still has a greater impact on the siege.

"Well, that's true, not only the county seat of the Yang family, but also the city of Handan, which has just arrived, will also demolish the city wall." Shang Wu thought for a moment and said.

"What? Isn't that a thought about it? Jia Xu asked Shangwu.

"Don't think about it. Can it be defended by just the walls? If people's will is not firm, no matter how strong the city is, it will not be able to defend it, let alone a city. Even if it's your own home, you can't keep it. Shang Wu said. Another idea of demolishing the walls was to prevent the officers and troops from reoccupying the area for defense, as the rest would be field fortifications. This will greatly reduce the pressure on the attackers. This is not good news for the officers and troops trying to reclaim it.

"Hmm. That's what I'm saying. Jia Xu said.

"Now, we can finish building on the economic front. I plan. First of all, starting with the construction of roads, or the construction of factories in the city, build a large amount of urban infrastructure to attract and expand the project. In this way, we can transfer a part of the labor force, and at the same time, we can get through the current difficulties and attract more businessmen to invest here, and the food problem still needs to be promoted by high prices, so that our food situation can be raised to a very high state. Shang Wu said.

Report. Chief, Chen Xiaobing, the magistrate of Yang's county, came to report. Chen Xiaobing's military salute reported. The fingers of Chen Xiaobing's left hand were seen four by the saber of the official army, and only the thumb was still there. There are also some disadvantageous cords in the legs and feet. He turned out to be a battalion commander of the 11th Regiment, and he could have been promoted to regimental commander, but unfortunately, such a situation made it difficult for him to continue to serve. Ma Heng meant to let him enter the staff system as a staff officer, but he didn't want to, he said. How can there be a lame staff officer who still fights, just like that, Chen Xiaobing still chose to retire. Shang Wu arranged for him to be the county magistrate of Yang's county. This is also an appointment. Chen Xiaobing was very anxious about this result, he was born in the official army, entered the Red Turban Army, and learned some things by relying on his lively brain, but he felt that the things he learned were just scratching the surface, and he felt that he couldn't do such a position. The county magistrate controls the situation in a county, which makes him a little embarrassed.

"Well, creeps. No need to salute, you are now the county magistrate. Shang Wu said with a smile.

"No, sir, you will always be our commander in our minds." Chen Xiaobing said solemnly.

"Hmm. Good. That's right. How are you as a county magistrate? Shang Wu asked.

"This. Sir, are you telling the truth? Chen Xiaobing said embarrassedly.

"Hehe, you, we are here to listen to the truth, but not to listen to you lie, why, you, who should be a colonel in the army, have you learned to tell lies all of a sudden? It seems that the temptation of the county magistrate is very great. Shang Wu said.

"Nope. No. Sir, I, I didn't learn this, I just think that this county magistrate is very unsuitable for me, I, I'd better go back to farming, the people here are too difficult to manage, they don't listen to you at all. Chen Xiaobing said helplessly.

"Huh." Jia Xu said after listening to it.

"Oh, what's the call, won't listen to you?" Shangwu asked.

"Sir, for example, I have given a big order to demolish the city wall. Ask the whole city to participate, but in the end there are not many people who come, but I don't have many soldiers, not many people, they don't listen to you at all, if this is placed under my hands, I. Chen Xiaobing said extremely aggrieved.

"You're trying to send troops to drive everyone out, are you?" Shang Wu asked a little unhappily.

"Nope. Sir, I don't dare, I didn't do this, I don't dare to do such a thing, it's a violation of discipline. I don't dare. Chen Xiaobing hurriedly shook his head and refused.

"That's true." Jia Xu said on the side.

"How did you end up with it?" Shangwu asked.

"Yes, it was Minister Wang who gave me a way to distribute some land bonds, and whoever comes, I can give them back, and I can take back the materials of the demolished city wall, and as a result, this thing will be done. They don't listen to me at all, they listen to money. Chen Xiaobing said.

"Huh." Shang Wu smiled. Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can't scold you now. You're now the county magistrate. The county magistrate, in fact, is on the same level as the colonels in the army. Shang Wu said.

"Sir." Chen Xiaobing said.

"I know that you are used to that straight-up temper in the army, but this is management, managing a county town, I can't allocate more people to you, everything depends on you to figure it out. The task is to restore the county seat and economic order as soon as possible, and the people must have enough food so that they can eat. Have a certain amount of savings. This is something that you, as a county magistrate, have to consider. Shang Wu said.

"As for how to transfer, it depends on your ability as the county magistrate. Remembered. It's mobilization, just like boosting morale in the army, you can't start scolding, you can only motivate them, mobilize them to participate in the economy, and only those who break the law and commit crimes, you can do that. Do you understand? Shang Wu said.

"Yes. Sir. Chen Xiaobing said. However, Chen Xiaobing still has some difficulties. He didn't know what to do, and he didn't have any experience in it, so it was a very difficult thing for him. After Shang Wu finished speaking, he went to check on other places.

"Strategist, you old man has to give me a support, me. I'm dying of sorrow. One regiment in this army is easy to manage, but the combined population of this county town is almost more than one army. There are men, women and children, how can I manage this? Chen Xiaobing knew that Jia Xu was a martial military advisor, and many of his suggestions came up from him. The whole army knows about it.

"I'm also embarrassed about this, I can't tell you what to do by your side, right?" Jia Xu told helplessly.

"Strategist, don't tease me. You are a powerful man, you old man, support the move, I, I beg you, I still have two bottles of good wine, I am not willing to drink it, I will give it to you. Chen Xiaobing said with a smile.

"Are you bribing me?" Jia Xu said with a smile.

"Don't. I'm tuition, what I've learned from you, military advisor, I'll give you a move. I. I really can't help me. Chen Xiaobing said.

"That's it. You, ah, learn two words, order. As long as you establish this order, everything is in order, how to do this, each performing its own duties, is the same as the army company commander managing the platoon commander, and the platoon commander managing the squad leader. Jia Xu said.

"Oh. I understand. Get. Is that right? Chen Xiaobing said.

"That's what it means, in addition, you also take the time to study, go to that business school, learn management, I don't care about the tuition." Jia Xu patted the other party's shoulder and said.
