Chapter 412: Visiting, Coming Out
Now that you have entered a city, you can rest and relax before the next order and forward feedback.
At least spending the winter in a large city with well-defended walls and ample buildings is not the same thing as sleeping in the open for a long time, and my men have had to trek for a long time in the mud and damp to fill the line.
Of course
The so-called rest and recuperation of our department is not like most armies of the times, which directly let some soldiers herd sheep and go out of the camp to have fun and vent on their own, so as to restore their morale and spirit.
Instead, in accordance with the norms and plans formulated by the regimental corps, relatively low-intensity training and service arrangements were adopted to gradually adjust them from the intense combat state and the high-intensity vigilance frequency.
It also includes evening school study and team talk in the evening, and group entertainment and leisure activities such as storytelling, history, dinner, ball fighting, and shooting during the day. If the material conditions are relatively abundant, the auxiliary army and stragglers should also be included in this daily planning, and the league competition between battalions and regiments should be carried out according to the team as the basic unit.
With only a small amount of material input and preparation, and targeted key rewards after the fact, we can use relatively limited conditions and foundations to bring into play a relatively good effect of group encouragement and encouragement, and guide and publicize a relatively positive spiritual outlook and military atmosphere.
Although these methods are just clichés in the army building of later generations, they are still ingenious new things in this era, especially for those new ranks who have not long joined, it is easy to produce a unique and unique sense of honor and belonging.
The key is to ensure a top-down engagement where no one can stay out of the way.
Then it is to send patrols and sentinels on duty at fixed points to search for the scattered structures scattered in the city for management, although there is some resistance and resistance, but according to the military law of the battlefield, after cutting off a dozen heads cleanly, it will naturally cease in various ways.
By re-collecting and counting the remaining materials in the city, plus the calibration and mapping of buildings and building materials that can be used with other resources, Jing Ke can grasp the similar situation of the place where he is stationed, and if there are no unexpected flowers, we are afraid that we will have to take them here for a while, and even spend the winter.
Therefore, every ounce of potential resources that can be used is relatively valuable and cannot be wasted. Even the broken ruins can come in handy, such as providing coke for a fire.
In the city, however, there are still a lot of rye beans that horses eat, and after I ordered them to be collected, they were crushed and processed into pieces of relatively portable bean and wheat hard cakes using the existing cone mill in Bian Shui.
Then he sent a messenger to inform the handover of the nearby armies, to the effect that "as long as our army comes to the rear, you can rest assured that you can go and die desperately."
So, when I began to inspect the walls, they had already tried to lift the gun wagons to the head of the city in order to strengthen the basic means of defense. After all, this is a rare big city and a land and water point to rush, and more of our previous combat experience comes from field attack and defense and a small number of fortifications, and we have not really defended such a large city.
Therefore, it can be regarded as a rare experience and attempt, and I even thought of organizing a corresponding offensive and defensive drill, which was placed on a section of the city wall between the inner city and the tooth city. Let the auxiliaries and the main battalion play the attacking and defending sides respectively.
After a few attempts, it didn't last long, and the dense sound of guns and artillery fires frightened the defenders in other parts of the city. Although it had been reported in advance that this was a military exercise, some people still shouted slogans such as the Northern Army coming in, rushed out of the garrison and ran around, and a small-scale bombing of the camp occurred.
But it has already become, some kind of frightened bird on Cheng dù, and I can't expect much in the future.
On the fourth day of my arrival in Bianzhou, the messenger who went out to contact me brought me a message and a group of visitors. I stood at the head of the city and watched a small group of people enter, and then I was informed accordingly:
"The former commander of the army, the deputy capital of the East Road is under the command of Xu Qing, and the state defense envoy, and the former army is under the command of Wang Gui...... Consecutive Visits"
It was him, my heart moved, although there were only a few faces, but it left a deep impression on me, and I was finally one of the few people in the official army who felt more reliable.
However, according to the information I got on the spot, he should now be in charge of the right army of the imperial camp, although the right army of the imperial camp is badly damaged. In addition, now he is also the commander of the front military capital appointed by the commander, and the deputy commander of the East Road.
Because the original Eastern Front was under the command of Cao Cheng, and Wang Song was the commander of the army, he was seriously injured in the recent war and could not take care of things, and he was ordered to temporarily specialize in the front of the front in danger, and he was also the third commander of the front capital.
After arriving in Bianzhou, I naturally had to routinely send someone to contact one or two, but I didn't expect him to get the news, so he came to me directly and neatly.
Immediately I arranged in the command vestibule of the gatehouse, and met a group of visitors. This is also the first time I have seen him in the army since the farewell of the Purple Mountain in Jiangning, and I saw him in a military uniform, but he was described as a lot of weight loss, and his face was full of weather.
It's just that he doesn't change his loud voice that can be heard from afar, and his temperament like a fierce wind and fire.
"It's been a long time since I saw ......"
He grinned a little bit and hugged his fists
"I didn't think you could go this far...... It's really embarrassing, and I feel that the world is impermanent......"
What does this mean, I suddenly saw the subordinates he brought, twitching their faces or raising their hands to weigh their foreheads, and doing what he cared about, and the subordinates who greeted me behind me couldn't help but show some kind of embarrassed expressions,
"A certain Suidu is in the forward army...... It is also the name of Marshal Luo who has been heard for a long time."
But Wang Gui, who had a sense of zài in the door on the side, hurriedly spoke out and said slowly
"I just hate not being able to see each other in person......"
"But I don't know what kind of wind blew Xu Du over......"
But since I knew that his temperament was like this, I didn't think anything of it, and I bowed back.
"Yes, of course...... Winds of the Battlefield"
He was straight to the point
"I'm here to help......"
"It doesn't matter if it's men or horses, whether it's firearms. Cannons are ......"
Then, behind him, there were a number of choking coughs again, as well as helpless expressions from his subordinates, such as "why did you say it again" and "obviously the wrong step".
"I want to hear about it"
I smiled slightly, waved my hand and made an inviting gesture to lead them to the large crude sand table.
"Please tell us more......
Then I learned that he had come to me this time, not by chance, but for a military operation not long ago, and it was said that in order to plan the attack of the Central Route Army on the city of Nakto, he had launched a limited offensive on the eastern front.
The direction of the offensive is mainly aimed at the Wujiao Pass, which has been repeatedly attacked for more than two months, in order to lead the northern army on the southern battlefield and gain a certain strategic initiative. To this end, under the leadership of Xu Qing, preliminary work has been organized and prepared for a while.
Of course, no matter how nice they say, in my opinion, this is also a certain helpless move to show the military presence of the Eastern Front, because a few days ago, there were a lot of baskets here on the Eastern Front, which had been deeply criticized by the rear base camp.
If you continue to play soy sauce like this, I am afraid that everyone's future will be worried, and it is not impossible to be removed and merged, or demoted to a second-rate or even third-rate local military order.
Of course, our army is an exception, and with my merits and achievements in the unique way, coupled with the identity of the imperial battalion, I am not worried about the future. And I sent someone to contact them, which was a surprise that increased the chances of success in this military operation.
Because my unit is the only large organization on the front line of the Eastern Road that is in relatively good condition and still has spare strength. What's more, we still have an artillery regiment with the army, although it is only a long-barreled field gun of about six inches at most, but it is enough to bear the suppression and deterrence of its city head.
For this operation, they have transferred and reorganized 25 battalion heads from four corps with fewer casualties, and concentrated the remaining equipment on the Eastern Front for use, just to achieve a decent result, which can be said to be determined to be achieved.
However, although he is the commander of the six or seven routes of military horses on the front line, for me, who is the deputy envoy of the Qingzhou town guard, the deputy envoy of the economic strategy, the commander of the left army of the imperial camp, and the envoy of the north, even if he is a few ranks higher in the ministry, he can only be regarded as a reciprocal speaker, and is not under his direct subordinate jurisdiction and division. Among the front-line military supplies, there is only the right to assist under orders, and there is no reason to directly listen to the tune.
Therefore, Xu Qing, as the head of the front, simply decided to put aside the red tape and time-wasting petition steps that required someone to negotiate and exchange, and personally led someone over to directly finalize my opinions and corresponding matters.
"Is it okay or not......
He looked at me with a big sword and said
"You can give me a letter......
"It's a matter of ......"
I didn't explicitly refuse,
"Let me think about it or two,"
Then summoned Qi to hold a small meeting temporarily, presented the benefits and losses and the corresponding stakeholders, and listened to the opinions of the generals a little. In the end, it was up to me to make the decision to participate in this cutting-edge operation. Although our army does not need such an additional merit and achievements,
But on the one hand, it is impossible for my soldiers to go straight and go alone, and they also need to acquire and cultivate the experience and experience of the coordinated operation of the large corps under the condition of less risk.
On the other hand, it is a personal need, and it is necessary to go to the city of Togi and even Nakdo to take a trip and take a look.
"Still".
I looked at my subordinates with stern expressions on their faces, and then at Xu Qing and the others with happy faces, and added
"Our department is only responsible for pressing the formation and corresponding support ......"
"Do not participate in the forcible attack ......"
"Zenya."
Xu Qing got up and replied, stretching out his hand to me.
"That's enough."
Then, the remaining details need to be discussed and coordinated more.
