A thrilling and hectic day is over. The people in the city have gone back to their homes after eating a terrible meal from the inspection department, and they want to check the houses that have been ravaged by the Tartars to see if there is anything damaged or missing, and the most worrying thing is that the grain buried in the ground is still worried...

In fact, the Manchu Tartars came and went quickly, and they did not set fires, and the damage caused to Xishan Town was not very great, and the biggest damage was probably the removal of the door panels of many houses, but those door panels were all erected on the ditch, as long as they were carried back and re-installed on the door.

The night was late, the sky was full of stars, except for those on duty, the soldiers had eaten dinner early and went to bed, but without exception they all had insomnia, so they lay on the bed and blew.

After winning a battle, of course, you need to relax, and the officers such as the commander are not willing to restrain them anymore.

There are many soldiers who have made meritorious contributions in this battle, such as Xu Qingtian and Wang Meng, who stabbed to death a Manchurian soldier respectively, but to say that the person with the greatest meritorious service, there is no doubt that Liu Da is capable, it is he who came up with the method of lime to break the enemy, and by throwing lime bags to make the Manchurian Tartar chaos, Xu Qingtian and Wang Meng took the opportunity to kill the Tartar soldiers who attacked the wall.

If Liu Neng was in the house, he would have bragged about himself without the praise of others, but at this time, together with other small flag officers, he was summoned to the hall of the Inspection Department for a meeting.

The hall was brightly lit, and a dozen thick candles lit up the whole room like day, and more than 20 people sat or stood together, but it did not seem crowded at all.

At the end of the battle, although the victory was won, many problems could be exposed, and Chen Yue called people above the junior flag officer for a meeting to analyze the problems and sum up experience.

Chen Yue thinks that he is not a genius, and he can only say that he does not understand the command of troops in battle, and only by constantly summing up experience can he go further.

"The battle is over, we also won, killed forty or fifty people from the Mantars, it can be said that it is a complete victory, everyone's merits have been recorded, and then there will be a promotion award, but this battle has also exposed many problems, you can think about it, if it weren't for Liu Neng's ability to get back the lime to attack the Mantars, if it weren't for the fact that we had two tiger squat cannons, could we still defeat the Mantars so easily and hold the city?" Chen Yue was the first to speak.

Everyone listened to Chen Yue's speech with smiles on their faces, and their excitement was overflowing, this time they won such a big battle, and everyone would get a lot of rewards. But as Chen Yue spoke, the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared, and they suddenly recalled the fierce battle that had just happened.

The Tartar arrows are full of fierce and vicious arrows, and the fierce and invincible combat skills make many people feel palpitations when they think about it. Especially for the soldiers guarding the wall, when the Mantars attacked the wall, they killed people again and again, but they could not do anything about the Mantars wearing heavy armor, and the despair in their hearts was still vivid.

It's a fluke to win this battle!

"Let me talk about it," Chen Yue and Yang Zhengping have the highest position, so naturally he will speak first.

"Today I stayed on the walled wall to defend the city, but was attacked by the Mantars, if it wasn't for Liu Neng's sudden appearance and attack the Mantars with lime bags, maybe the walled wall would have been captured by the Mantars." Yang Zhengping was full of chagrin, "So I did a very bad job in this battle, and I ask the inspector to punish him!" ”

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Chen Yue to plead guilty.

Chen Yue said: "Yang took the lead and withstood the offensive of the Mantars, what is the crime?" The meeting today is not to hold everyone accountable, but to sum up the deficiencies so that he will not make such mistakes again when he fights the Manchurians in the future. Brother Zhengping, since you have been commanding on the wall, let's talk about the shortcomings of defending the city. ”

Yang Zhengping nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "The biggest problem in defending the city this time is the lack of experience of the brothers. First of all, we have not done enough to prepare for the defense of the city, there are no ash bottles and stones for defending the city, and when they are suppressed by the full Tartar bow and arrow, they cannot attack the climbing enemy, but can only passively wait for the enemy to climb up, and then attack them.

Then there was the fierceness of the Mantars, who were the first to go to the city this time, the most elite white-armored soldiers, wearing three layers of armor, and the spears could not pierce its defenses, plus the Mantars were extremely fierce and killed several people in a row, and the brothers had nothing to do with him.

However, his subordinates thought that to deal with such a full tartar, one could use a fire gun to shoot at close range, and the spear could not pierce the three layers of armor, and the fire gun may not. ”

When Yang Zhengping said this, Chen Ping's face turned red, he was in the city at the time, but he was too nervous to raise the fire gun when the Mantar attacked.

"Besides, you can make some hook and sickle guns, and if you can't fight against a full Tartar opponent, you can use a hook and sickle to knock a full Tartar hook to the ground, and then it's easy to deal with."

Hook and sickle? Chen Yue suddenly remembered the story of the Yue family's army breaking the golden soldiers' abduction horses with hook and sickle guns, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Zhengping's proposal is very good, the hook and sickle can deal with the white-armored soldiers, and it can also deal with the cavalry full of Tartars, let's build a large number of them in the future, and equip two or three small flags each." ”

After Yang Zhengping spoke, other officers took the floor one after another, each putting forward their own suggestions. For example, at that time, the people in the city could be organized to assist in defending the city, and they could not go into battle to fight, but they could transport wooden lime bottles for the soldiers on the wall, for example, they could boil water or even fire oil on the city wall, pour it under the city, and burn the Tartar soldiers who climbed the city wall.

For example, Liu Neng proposed that he could make a kite and fly it outside the city, and put it on the kite with lime and throw it from the air, forcing the Mantar to open his eyes.

As a scribe, Shan Minglei was responsible for recording the content of the meeting, and he picked up the brush and recorded everyone's suggestions one by one.

"My lord, I don't know if I should talk about a proposal from my subordinates?" When everyone was talking a little weaker, Shan Minglei put down the brush and said to Chen Yue.

"If there is anything that should be said or not, Mr. can just say it." Chen Yue said with a smile.

"My lord, through what you have just said, and through today's battle, my subordinates have remembered a problem, that is, some people bravely stepped forward during the battle, and some people flinched. Therefore, in order to improve the combat effectiveness, it is necessary to pay attention to supervising and rewarding and punishing, so a special post should be set up to supervise the war during the war. Shan Minglei said eloquently.

Set up a military judge! In the Ming army, there is a special pacification officer to manage military law and military discipline, since the establishment of the inspection department, because of the small number of soldiers, Chen Yue has never thought of this, and now it seems that it has come to the time to set up.

"Since Mr. proposed, how about Mr. take the position of this pacification?" Chen Yue asked with a smile, Zhenfu must be familiar with military law, be able to read and write, and search the army, but he really can't find a suitable person.
