The prestige of the sappers is in battle

For the veteran generals who have been in battle for a long time, it can be seen from the actions of the opponent's soldiers and the formation cooperation that there are thousands of words, even if the Tiger Guard Army is known as the first strong army in the world, there is no specific concept for the Jingnan soldiers, and the eight main forces of the Han army they have fought against are only Gao Shun's Liaodong Army and Juyi's Agni Army, which is the well-trained combat power and strong will of these two armies, which has become a template for the Jingnan Army to follow in training in recent years. But today, some of them finally saw the strength of the Tiger Guards, which was much better than the Liaodong Flames back then.

From the skirmisher line shock to dodge the attack of random arrows through dexterous tactical movements, to the strong entanglement ability of the first wave of non-commissioned officers who came into contact with the defenders, and then to the offensive like a wave of waves rushing to the city just right, the first-line soldiers immediately changed the entanglement into a fierce fight after receiving the support of friendly troops, and the explosion of combat power in that moment made many Jingnan Army's defense lines be quickly broken through, and once the Tiger Guard soldiers formed a squad of three or five people, the combat power increased several times.

Zhou Tai shook his head and picked up the sword to block the river and join the blocking of the Tiger Guards, but at this time he already knew in his heart that the loss of Qingtu County was only a matter of time, although it was a strategy that had been formulated before to lure the enemy from Qingtu, but it was also the focus to see the combat power of the Tiger Guards, to be honest, with Zhou Youping's martial courage and conceit, he would not be afraid even in the face of Liu Yi, but in front of the combat power shown by the Tiger Guards in front of him, there was a sense of powerlessness, although the Jingnan soldiers had also trained extremely hard in the past five years, But compared to the other side, it is far behind.

There is no free lunch in this world, and there is no pie in the sky, so that the enemy generals are admired in their hearts The powerful combat power comes from the hard training in peacetime, "riding a white horse, walking to watch the dragon and tiger" is not just a simple eight words, it does not know how much hard work and sweat of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the three armies, even if it is the glory of the first strong army, it is a heavy pressure.

The Han army has never been stingy in military spending, and this will also make the generals in Yangzhou and Jingnan extremely envious, and according to intelligence, the main force of the Han army sometimes has enough money for a single exercise for them to use for half a year. And it is such abundant funds and logistics to support Zhang He's Tiger Guard, which is not enough, in the past few years in Shudi, Zhang Hu and Zhang Hong have not been less entangled by Jun Yi, that is, to ask for money, food, and people.

Of course, in addition to normal military spending, the economic system of the Han region is very rigorous after Liu Yi and everyone's careful research, even if Zhang He can get some from Zhang Hu and Zhang Hong, it is not enough, Zhao Yun He will not look for it, if he wants to find it, everyone will follow suit, so what should he do? These are difficult to help but be good, Shu produces good wine, so in the past few years, many soldiers of the Tiger Guard Army have the ability to make wine, people open their own pots to sell wine, not only to solve domestic demand but also to sell money, the funds obtained for training, that is, His Majesty is called Zhang He all-rounder.

For example, the engineer battalion of the Tiger Guard Army with defensive strength like Qingtu County can be built in three days, and the soldiers of each battalion will definitely not carry out less than 30 offensive and defensive combat drills every year, and many of them will be far stronger than Qingtu. Zhang He even spared no expense to build a thirty-zhang long city wall on the training ground imitating the Tiger Prison Pass, and which Tiger Guard sergeant had not suffered in front of this city wall in retraining? Even casualties are inevitable! It is precisely this kind of hard training that has made the Tiger Guards more powerful today, and there is no other way.

Just like His Majesty knows himself very well, Zhang He also knows a lot about the various magical skills with Liu Yi in military training, so many new military training methods and new equipment Guards Battalion is still in the process of training, and the Tiger Guards can be synchronized, and the commanders of the eight main forces have the power to directly write to His Majesty, and the use of this power Zhang He and Zhang Junyi are well-deserved first! Last year alone, he wrote twenty-four letters to His Majesty, and Liu Yi selectively replied to twelve of them, which was already a high proportion for the Kaiyuan Emperor, who had a lot of opportunities.

In one hour, from Hao Zhao's attack on Qingtu to Zhou Tai's retreat, it only took one hour for the Tiger Guards to take this place, and two hours seemed like a short time, but it was almost negligible in the siege battle. Even if the pre-war goal was achieved, Zhou Tai was still quite sad when he led the army to retreat, with the kind of combat power shown by the enemy, would their next attack be successful? Even if he succeeds, he will have to face the main force of the Tiger Guard led by Zhang He!

There is one thing that Zhou Tai doesn't know, otherwise his sorrow will increase. After roughly controlling the situation, Hao Zhao was already deliberately slowing down the progress of the attack, following the footsteps of the Tiger Guard's non-commissioned soldiers, the engineer battalion began to appear on the battlefield, and there was a team of short but quite strong alien people, their task was very simple, demolishing the house and removing the door panel, and all the materials that could be used to strengthen the Tiger Guard's position. Hao Zhao's slowing attack is buying them time.

Since the engineer battalion, a new type of troops, has been trained and put into use, the generals of all armies are very fond of it, and it is the primary purpose of the engineer battalion to open the road and build bridges in the mountains and waters, and he can play a great role in both offensive and defensive ends, and they can quickly repair the blows suffered by the head of the city in the siege war, and they can also set up positions for the equipment battalion in the siege war so that they can exert their maximum power! The more complex the terrain, the more it can reflect the role of the engineer battalion, especially in the battle of Pingnan, Zhang He and Zhang Liao had to take the first credit, and Meng Xu regarded this army as a divine soldier descending from heaven.

"Hurry up, hurry up, you don't have long eyes, you dismantled the wrong one, do you want to die?" Kuai Shan scolded while commanding, he was not scolding the brothers of the engineer battalion but those alien races, His Majesty said that these people can't give a good face, the more they beat and scold, the better they do this job.

In the Han army, Liu Yi's words are iron laws, the soldiers, including the generals, are used to it, and what the general said is that His Majesty will never be wrong, even if there is a cliff in front of you, you have to jump, so although these aliens are very appreciative of their ability to bear hardships and stand hard work, they will not have a good face on their faces, and they are often either leather whips or wooden sticks, Your Majesty said, they are humanoid tools!

"Yes, hi ......" Sure enough, in the scolding of Kuaishan and a cadre of soldiers, those Japanese slaves promised to keep working in their hands, and they were still very energetic, in their hearts, they were much luckier than those predecessors, they were well fed and warm, and compared with the days of Wajima, one day and one place.

"Brothers, General Hao said that this battle depends on our engineer battalion, even if it is not easy to defend here, even if there are few materials, we must make it into a strong fortress, the brothers of the infantry army are fighting with their lives, and we have to fight to the death." Kuaishan shouted loudly while lowering the door panel, the people of Qingtu County had almost fled before this battle, but this was a good thing.

"No." The sergeants of the engineer battalion and the Japanese slaves all responded in unison.

In fact, many generals in the army are quite appreciative of these Japanese slaves, their obedience is excellent and they can bear hardships and stand hard work, and the attitude towards these people is very different from the attitude of His Majesty to these people, such as Wuhuan Huns and even Xianbei, and the people in the army are just right, anyway, just do it. However, some literati in the DPRK and China have complained about this, and feel that Emperor Kaiyuan's move is quite unworthy of the bearing of a great Han country. When the news reached Liu Yi's ears, he couldn't cry or laugh, sometimes being too open-minded is also harmful, what do you know? It's a pity that I can't send you to see certain eras.

Liu Yi's attitude towards this is very resolute, and he does not explain at all, this can also be seen as an experiment on his own authority, it didn't take long for many scholars to come out to refute, they counted all kinds of things before the Kaiyuan Emperor, and came to the conclusion that His Majesty's vision is definitely very accessible, don't wait for the rat's eyes, and in the future, if you have your own public opinion, the matter will not be over.

"General Hao, there are still dozens of civilians in this county who have not yet had time to evacuate." As soon as Hao Zhao entered the county, a soldier came to tell him that this attack was just a prelude, and the next two days would be a real battle, otherwise Hao Zhao's practice would have taken the lead in the battle, and the Han army's habit was to go up and down, Liu Yi said that the generals, the generals can still be as usual in wartime, that is, the Kaiyuan Emperor has no good way to do this, only to increase the personal soldiers around these generals.

"Let's go, let's see." The resettlement of the people in the siege war is also a major matter, and it is generally handled by the first-level generals themselves, especially Hao Zhao has to demolish many houses in the county this time.

In order to rush the schedule, Kuai Shan sent a total of 53 remaining men, women, and children in the village to the largest ancestral hall in the county, and they were resting when Hao Zhao arrived, at least from the expression of fear and panic. The biggest reason is that the Han army has pervasive propaganda methods, and Liu Yi's long-term pro-people and love for the people is the biggest guarantee, so the people of the Han Dynasty basically know that the Han army will never disturb the people.

"Rest assured, everyone, we are His Majesty's army, just now Captain Kuai just borrowed everyone's house, and when the war is over, it will definitely build a new one for you, everyone must remember to stay here and don't go out, it is difficult to take care of the war." Hao Zhao said loudly with a pleasant face.

"We've heard all of this, but when they leave, they have to take everyone away, and if we refuse to leave, we will take away all the water, can this general?" After a while, an old man stood up and spoke, he was still a little restrained at first, but after seeing Hao Zhao's smile, he said more fluently.

"Don't worry, we will take care of the water, and everyone will take out the dry food." Hao Zhao smiled slightly and first untied his food bag, and the soldiers around him also followed suit, but this move stunned the people in the room.
