However, relying only on the terrain to defend passively, although it is conducive to giving full play to the advantages of my troops, but it is also too passive, I prefer to be more prepared to take the initiative, so a new round of operation and training projects has begun.

Under the supervision of the squad soldiers, a large number of stragglers and makeshift men worked shirtless and sweaty on the makeshift construction site, and they were responsible for digging all kinds of pits and laying improvised traps, and cutting off or destroying the existing road surface with small trenches that were passable between the hills.

In this way, people can cross or make a detour, but the chariots and horses carrying heavy loads are not so easy to jump. How much can delay the speed and efficiency of blocking the march of the brigade that may come.

All the traps are also relatively crude and simple, and they are not lethal, but they are convenient to collect materials and make them, so that a large number of temporary people can be piled up, and the corresponding number can be piled up.

I didn't expect any of these things to be effective, I just needed some of them to function properly, and in a certain way, making wounded people could drag down the enemy ranks more than corpses.

In this way, day after day passed quickly, and I began to take the time to use the materials prepared in advance to teach some theoretical courses to the closed doors.

On this day, I was in the internal non-commissioned officer training class, teaching them the evolution and similarities and differences of the military system of the Tang Dynasty to the present.

This dynasty followed the Tang system and had a slight evolution, which originated from "Wei Gong's Question to Taizong". Therefore, a full-strength standard army has a full strength of 12,681 personnel, plus a number of auxiliary personnel.

Generally equipped with a seven or eight thousand collars, the rest are light or cloth, bows, crossbows, knives and guns according to the head of each one, and Mo knife, long Ke axe two thousand to three thousand, hammer sticks and other heavy soldiers two thousand to three thousand, in addition to the more professional Mo knife team, the rest are equipped according to actual needs.

Take the battalion team as the basic unit, and then according to the actual needs, the army is divided into three divisions (not satisfied with the formation), or five divisions (full formation) in the front and back, left and right (full formation, each part leads several battalions, with jumping/selecting the front (commando), the odd team (reserve), and even the horse infantry team on the left and right compartments, and the main generals such as the left and right Yu Hou Army are directly under the sequence.

In the Southern Dynasties, the cavalry was insufficient, but it was mainly strengthened in the sequence of firearms such as the chariot battalion and the grenadier and the divine aircraft team.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty came from the government soldier system in the early stage, and after the collapse of the government soldier system in the middle period, it became a recruitment, but after the Anshi Rebellion - Taixing reform, it was restored to partially improved government soldiers and recruitment traditions, which were mixed with each other.

The same is true of the Southern Dynasty Liang, but the objects of recruitment in the Eight Roads on land are mainly from small handicraftsmen and miners from all over the country, and then supplemented by the hereditary military households under the name of the military governments in Yanbian; On the other hand, the two seas were recruited from the people of each vassal state, plus the local vassals and princes, and according to a certain percentage, they brought the sons of the feudal lords to prepare their own armies, forming the most basic military sequence.

Just like me, most of the armed forces in the core part are from West Borneo and even Fuyuan Prefecture and the sons of the feudal clansmen and the countrymen, and the rest are all kinds of people who have been recruited on the spot, including military households in Yanbian and senior old righteous servants; There are not only skilled hands transferred from the active army, but also veterans re-recruited after retirement; There are not only trainees from the high-level Jingwu, but also scholars and teachers from the grassroots level to speak Wudongtang.

It can be said that it has both the characteristics of diversity, and there are four dislikes that do not rely on......

Then a message made me quietly end the preaching and gather the generals above the head of the battalion stationed there.

"Shuaiji replied to ......"

I clutched a piece of paper and glanced at their faces. Or expectant, or thoughtful, or eager to try......

"Good news, bad news......"

I said meaningfully

"Which one do you want to hear first? ……”

"Self-esteem...... Let's start with the good news......"

After being silent for a moment, Xin Jiaxuan, who was the deputy general, still spoke in the eyes of everyone

"The good news is that the commander is in order to encourage the left wing of the new army, the right to lead the defense envoy of the state, and the commander of the Yongcheng Mabu capital, and the rest of the troops are all following the example of the national dynasty, and each has a promotion commission system."

"Yes, the relevant people under the account can drop out of the next level...... Just put your name on file"

"Congratulations to the ......"

"Congratulations to the defense lords......"

They roared, and immediately congratulated me with a smile, and congratulated each other with their new titles

"What about the bad news......

The first to react was Han Liangchen, the chief instructor of the army and the commander of the horse army.

"Hmmm......"

I looked back and made a press motion to silence them anew

"The bad news is that this promotion is only in terms of rank and establishment,"

"On the grounds that the troops are standing tightly, the commander will not give us a single soldier reinforcement at the moment......"

"The difference required will be made up by self-raising on the spot......"

Suddenly there was an uproar,

"Is it really raised by a little mother......

The first to burst foul language was Yang Zaixing, the head of the fourth battalion

"Shuaiji, what are we......"

Zhang Lizheng, the second battalion officer who was dissatisfied, said

"If you scatter it here, you will put it ......"

The officers of the 1st Battalion also said that the wind swept the flag

"I don't even give supplements and help, what can I do to defend against the enemy......"

Cui Bangbi of the third battalion spread his hands.

Xin Jiaxuan, Lu Wuguan and Zhao Long, the three deputy chiefs, although they did not complain as loudly as they were, they also showed a certain look of dissatisfaction and disappointment.

After all, there are so many differences on weekdays, but when you come to this army, you always expect to be in the same boat, make a difference and make achievements, but you have suffered obvious injustice again and again, what kind of thing is this.

"So ......"

I pressed my hands to calm them down a bit.

"We must have our own ideas, and we must work together to be self-reliant......"

"Even if there are violations and prohibitions,"

Then I secretly said in my heart, this sentence is the point,

"It's a last resort......"

Speaking of which, I meant to pay attention to the third person in the army, as the chief chief of the land affairs view, his expression changed slightly, but he pressed it again.

As for Xin Jiaxuan and Zhao Long, they used a silent attitude to express a certain acquiescence and temporary attitude.

When the head of Dong Huting of the Northern Army went up together with the corresponding beheading, as well as the report asking for help, it was such a fluttering piece of paper that replied to us.

Although there are a lot of praises and isolations, the final summary is that "there are no reinforcements for the time being, but there are still units and materials, and we will find a way to tide over the difficulties." ”

But having such a title that can act in the interests of the battlefield is better than nothing.

According to the class of the Yanbian Theater of the Southern Dynasties, it is divided into: the general pipe road (road) - the establishment of the system and the subdivision of the road (several prefectures) - the control (large and small military states) - the capital supervisor (the big and small city fortresses) - the commander/the general (the town fortress) - the head / the general (the large and small forts), the fire head / the team general (the sentry sui), and the military attaches of various colors with the corresponding ranks from the fire commander, the captain to the general and the general.

As the biggest feature of the Yanbian Theater system, these Yanbian military posts can also manage or act on behalf of some of the responsibilities of governing the people. After all, in order to cope with the unexpected situation on the battlefield, it is impossible to sacrifice efficiency and functions to play any battlefield civilian and military duties.

In the second-line places, there are also set up: Assassin History, Regiment Training, Jurisdiction, Inspection, Section Level, Team Leader, in order to manage and lead the township soldiers and brave subordinates. Under the Yanbian system, local pro-people officials and their subordinates are also responsible for part of the military needs of border defense, which are mixed with the former and can be exchanged and promoted.

After all, starting from the poisoned arrow, you can deal with all kinds of criminal lawsuits in military and land disputes, and temporarily levy a certain percentage of money, food, and military service to consolidate the defense points

Of course, I, the defense envoy of the state, belong to the product of a shrunken version in my eyes, and I can only govern the two counties and three cities in the east of the state, and it is also a newly occupied area where a large number of people have fled and all industries have withered.

As for the two troops stationed in the western part of the city, the five cities, then there is only the right to build and coordinate in substance, if the other party does not listen to the coordination, it will also ignore the flowers, and I can only ask the commander to punish it.

In other words, just giving a title is counting on us to be self-reliant, give full play to our subjective initiative, and resist enemies who may have a big advantage, even if they are raised by concubines who have fallen out of favor.

Fortunately, at least in terms of logistical supply, the commander is not talking to death, but let's supplement what we need as appropriate, otherwise I really have to consider symbolic resistance, and give up the defense line and let those decision-makers have a headache.

Subsequently, I sent a team of sufficient size to Chuzhou and Haozhou on the south bank of the Huai River to make full use of and squeeze the value of this instruction, and to make a big banner under the pretext of consolidating the battle front. In the end, I can move as many materials as I can to come back, and as long as I think it can come in handy, I will find a way to get it back.

Zhao Long, the Marquis of Yu, is responsible for leading the team, of course, the reason why I chose him to do this is not only because he wants me to show a certain attitude of getting closer, on the other hand, compared to Xin Jiaxuan, a deputy general who was born in the martial arts class, or the Lu Wu concept sent from the counselor's office with a famous background;

Zhao Long is a military practical background who fights iron and iron, and he should be quite experienced in this kind of military-local negotiation, and he is the same time as Liu Yanqing and Liu Yanqing in Tiannan to rebel against the military account, and it is really a bit overkill to be a military judge. Before, he may have continued to observe the school, but since he is willing to take the initiative to get closer to me, he might as well take on more of his responsibilities as a further test and trial.

Therefore, I have a private additional instruction to Zhao Long, who is responsible for leading the team, that is, to gather people in the local area as much as possible to bring them across the river, even if it costs some money and food.

Compared with the scattered Huaishang Prefectures that resisted fiercely and were defeated, Chuzhou and Haozhou were densely populated Wangzhou in Huainan Province, and they were relatively less damaged and plundered by the war.

Therefore, it will be relatively easy to use grain as a temptation to recruit Ding Zhuang's labor on the spot, and when they are deceived into crossing the Huai River in the name of short-term employment, there is basically no way to turn back, and I can take the opportunity to requisition these labor resources to strengthen the defense and commuting of my place, which can be regarded as some kind of workaround.

As early as two days ago, the order to recruit new stragglers in Jiangyang, Runzhou, and Jiangning in the south of the Yangtze River had already been issued, and now I only need to send fast horses to catch up and hand over the newly added number to the local camps, which will take at least two or three days to go back and forth, and then the local people will find relations, make mutual guarantees, and organize soldiers on the spot, and it will take another ten days and half a month, hoping to catch up.
