179 ambition
Under the city of Ava, Hongtang Zhao Simei was a department, and after a night of rest, the physical strength and morale of the soldiers gradually recovered.
On the contrary, last night's city of Ava City was very lively, and until now, you can still see puffs of smoke rising into the sky outside the city, wafting over the city of Ava City.
"Hahaha, the people of this Burmese kingdom are really not very good, they couldn't finish the fire all night, it really surprised me!"
Zhao Simei, who was refreshed when she got up early in the morning, patrolled in the temporary barracks to inspect the rest of the soldiers last night, and at the same time did not forget to sleep and the soldiers were bragging about it, without the slightest appearance of a commander.
Zhao Simei's personality is very similar to Wu Jie in the early years, and her favorite thing on weekdays is to stick to the soldiers, roll up her sleeves and discuss women with them, showing off her muscles bare-chested, but she is also very loved by the soldiers below.
The soldiers, who had long been accustomed to the unscrupulous expression of the self-patriarch, also followed the blind coaxing: "That is, if it had been placed on our Dayuan Island, this small fire would have been extinguished a long time ago, and we couldn't sleep well all night." ”
"It's all to blame on you, the head of the group, what did you say to give people a meeting gift, you look at our eyes now, all bloodshot, being noisy by the group of natives in the city screaming and screaming, how can we rest?"
“……”
Zhao Simei didn't care, and looked at the guys who complained to her with a deserved expression: "It seems that a few of you are still not tired enough, and you will still have insomnia?" You ask everyone, isn't that one who sleeps on the bed and waits for the master, I'm starting to think now, should I give you a few extra meals! ”
"Don't, don't, Captain, we're just kidding!"
"I was wrong, Commander......"
A few people who wanted to find an excuse to complain to the division commander, and then took the opportunity to beg for two cigarettes, but suddenly made a bitter face and quickly begged for mercy.
"Fuck off!!"
Zhao Simei had a smile in her eyes and scolded these mischievous guys, but the few people who were scolded were not afraid at all, so they still followed Zhao Simei with their faces and joked.
Soon, after returning from the inspection of the barracks, Zhao Simei changed her face, a little less playful, and a little more calm and fighting spirit.
At least judging from this walking and patrolling, the overall morale of the group of soldiers who have experienced the war is still high, and their mental state is also excellent, but Zhao Simei is no longer worried that everyone will lose the chain in the high-intensity battle.
"We have few people, it is not appropriate to attack Ava City head-on, but this is also where the royal capital is located, and the city defense is strong and there are few flaws!"
Around a sketch drawn by the scout team, Zhao Simei and the members of the crew around him had a heated discussion.
"You can use artillery fire to attack, let's wait for the forty-eight-pounder cannon to prepare for the siege of the city, at this time, use it to directly attack the west city gate, it should be effective."
"The head of the regiment forgot a little, our task is to make an example of the chickens and monkeys, and make a tough posture against the Burmese Kingdom, as long as we can make the other party take the initiative to compromise and sue for peace with us, it is not practical to really capture this royal capital."
"Yes, we can actually secretly contact the local gentry and nobles, let it go, and see the other party's reaction first!"
“……”
The discussion gradually entered a good situation, but the result was not what Zhao Simei was willing to see, it seemed that in the eyes of the crew and others, with their strength, it was almost impossible to eat the royal capital of the Kingdom of Burma.
In Zhao Simei's view, this is a good time for him to make a name for himself and make a name for himself in the Hongtang army, if he can turn the impossible into a possibility, then he will inevitably be promoted one level higher because of this merit, and become a senior member of the army several years earlier than his classmates.
"You think well, but since we have all arrived under the royal city of Ava, should we try hard to see if we can directly enter the royal capital of Burma?"
"Isn't this kind of deterrence and a way of showing strength even more powerful?"
Zhao Simei waved her hand and expressed her opinion, while looking at the group of staff around her with an expectant look, hoping to get their support.
"But the regiment commander, we have only 4,000 troops available, and the Burmese officers and soldiers in the city, according to the reconnaissance of our army scouts, the number is nearly 20,000, and we are protected by strong city fortifications, our chances of winning are really not good!"
Most of the staff members of the crew are young men, because they are more imaginative and breakthrough thinking, of course, many times because of their age, they make too many mistakes in making plans, but under the brainstorming, there is a master who sits in the center to control the direction, but it also forms an excellent complementary picture.
Now that he has met Zhao Simei, a bold master, the group of staff under his command has turned into the reins that hold the divergent thinking in his mind.
"What I want you to do is to make a plan that is possible to break through this city and occupy it, and you don't have to worry about the rest!!"
Finally, Zhao Simei still took out the posture of the commander of the commander and gave him a strong order to play.
"Young people, use your brains, use your imagination, and let's make a miracle together!"
When it was over, Zhao Simei didn't forget to pat the horses of this group of young people, so that they could give better advice when they were relaxed, but he completely forgot that in fact, he himself couldn't be older than these staff members, and even some of them were older than him.
"Report, a messenger has arrived!"
Fortunately, a guard finally came over and interrupted the discussion between Zhao Simei and the others, so that the members of the crew could digest and digest it first, and their commander's huge appetite.
"What, Tang Ren is the head of the regiment, they are only less than fifty miles away from Ava City, and they can come and join us tomorrow?"
"This is great, with the addition of Captain Tang Ren and them, I think it is more likely to conquer Ava City!"
Zhao Simei met with the messenger and got the information given by the messenger, her face was first happy, then she reacted and was shocked, and her face gradually showed regret: "It's just that Commander Tang Ren and they are coming, whether they will support my plan to attack Ava City, it's a little difficult to guess!" ”
"Moreover, there are a few more guys who share the credit with me, even if I win this Ava City, it will not be my Zhao Simei's lone stage!"
Sighing, Zhao Simei vented his grievances on the tall and majestic city in front of him, and the more than ten artillery pieces that had been placed in the morning let out a roar on the spot, and he couldn't be idle for a moment.
