Dong'a City (both modern Shandong Province, near Yanggu County, Jining City), is an ancient county established in the Han Dynasty, which has been inherited to this day, administratively subordinate to Jeju/Jiyang County, and militarily subordinate to Qizhou.

My only impression of this place comes from the birthplace of donkey skin ejiao advertising.

Although this is a plain area, because of the perennial flooding of the Yellow River, all kinds of diffuse sediment deposits, large and small gentle slopes and low-lying land, often waterlogging and land salinization troubles, so the output is not abundant and the people are quite strong.

Sorghum and soybeans and other coarse crops are mostly planted in the local area, and livestock are mainly raised, and fisheries are also fished on the tributaries of the Yellow River and Jishui.

Therefore, it has been a long time for families to raise large animals such as donkeys and mules that are used for both meat and animal power. And the ejiao made from slaughtered donkey skins and other leftovers is one of the few ancient specialties and soil offerings in the local area.

According to these geographical summaries and military intelligence reports distributed to the pre-military team level, the non-commissioned officers in the squad are required to be able to recognize rough maps and simply determine the basic skills of orientation against reference objects such as the starry sky, while the officers are also responsible for the collection and simple summarization of various information on the spot, so as to enrich the decision-making and judgment factors in the army.

Because it is located on the eastern edge of the Henan-Huaibei Plain, there are several large and small foothills in Jeju, so it has minerals such as coal soil and gypsum that are rare in the plains.

Dong'e City is located at the foot of Yushan on the north bank of Jishui. The rammed earth and brick-covered two-zhang city wall surrounds thousands of households and 40,000 dingkou, but this is already a record of the old days......

Today's Dong'a, a small city, has been burned to the ground, leaving only the ghost domain full of rubble and no people.

Those northern soldiers hid in these layers of ruins, swarming to besiege and launch an ambush towards the vanguard troops who entered the exploration.

It's just that for this new army of firearms, it may be difficult to say anything else, but in terms of corresponding encounters and in-place defense, it is very set, especially for those pioneer regiments with a majority of veterans.

In a certain term in later generations, they are the reinforced regiments responsible for opening the fog of war, in addition to strengthening the corresponding mobility, they also need to have thick blood and high ability to fight tough battles, which is the minimum condition.

After a simple and hasty fierce engagement, the captain of the pioneer regiment judged the size and direction of the enemy's situation, and used the cover of the soldiers to fight forward, so that the soldiers could not hurry and pull away.

After the soldiers formed several battle groups according to the team and rebuilt the battle line, they used the fire support that came from behind, lightly frustrated the opponent's momentum, covered the battle team, and snatched back the wounded and the dead corpses.

Therefore, by the time the Chinese army's cat's paw general flag also arrived on the battlefield, the opening battle in Jeju was also nearing the end.

In the dust and smoke fired by the platoon and the revolver guns, the enemy soldiers were retreating one after another, and they could only rely on the cover of the buildings, and retreated to the rear to breathe for a while.

At this time, it is the turn of the auxiliary army and stragglers to enter the field, sweep and clean up the battlefield, and this is also the time to train those new soldiers and newcomers in the army.

Therefore, in order to fight in Jeju, the newly expanded 7th and 8th auxiliary brigades are also making the last agitation and promotion before the battle.

"As long as you follow the steps of the discipline, you don't have to worry about anything......"

Gu Laosi, the new fire chief, comforted the new faces under his command in this way, and some of them obviously had the characteristics of the northerners.

"The projectile that listens to flies on the door of the brain is a ball, and after more experience, it becomes a habit......"

"The key is to be deaf and clear-sighted, to follow the standard-bearer, to listen to the trumpet and shout and act......"

"If you can't see these for a while, just find a place with a lot of people to lean on......"

In this small queue of recessed chests and bellies, listening to instructions,

Standing stood ten spearmen and hookers, twenty-five sword-bearers, fifteen of whom were licensed with three-eyed guns, and ten of whom were armed with swords, with short bows or repeaters; Five armor chiefs, five deputy and vanguards, one fire flag, one drummer, and one trumpeter, a total of forty-eight members, are all Gu Laosi's subordinates.

It can be regarded as a transition between firearms and traditional cold soldiers, as long as they can be formed, it can be said that they have both attack and defense in both distance and near, and have universal adaptability under certain conditions.

"The so-called ......"

In the end, he summed it up in a ghostly way.

"The new Ding is afraid of the cannons, and the old soldiers are afraid of the guns"

The vast majority of recruits have never seen a cannon fired, and as long as the cannon sounds, they are easily shocked and at a loss, do not argue the direction, and even instinctively scatter to avoid each other and rush through their own ranks.

However, as veterans who are accustomed to accompanying firearms in combat, they are more concerned about the lead fired from rows of firearms, which are extremely small but thorough, coming and going without a shadow, and only hearing the sound, by the time you realize it, I am afraid that you will have been shot and killed.

Therefore, every non-commissioned officer and veteran of the platoon will generally ask his subordinates to practice repeatedly with a certain height as a benchmark in order to maintain a basic safety line on the battlefield.

But if, because of a moment of panic and confusion, you have no intention of raising your height to cross this line, and are accidentally injured by a friendly volley, even if you can survive, it is undoubtedly the most aggrieved and humiliating thing.

This is one of the various benefits of being in the Gun Division, just a certain distance away, you can knock down the enemy soldiers one after another, and there is no such cheap and easy thing.

And with the full fire support of friendly forces, it is also a rather hearty and happy thing to attack the city and pull out the fortress, especially in the flying dance of the cannon gun to chase the north, which is like a bamboo.

Therefore, in most cases, once the gunners have formed a suppression and upper hand, the spearmen and white soldiers will only be in the front line, reduced to the role of spectators, until they turn into pursuit.

Gu Laosi missed it so much, and at the same time, he used the senior identity of the past to guide these raw melon eggs and newcomers with ease, but he couldn't help but have a faint sense of self-satisfaction and achievement.

It's like under the Purple Mountain before, blocked by rows of firearms in front of the camp, and peeing his pants in pain, it actually happened to others

Although Gu Laosi had only joined this team for only a few months from outside Jiangning City, he suddenly felt that it seemed that a long time had passed.

It can be like a long-term veteran, full of pride in the trickle of teachings for those newcomers. Because of this relatively rich experience in the army, he opened up a whole new world and future for the rest of his life.

"Helping the world...... Everybody is enough. ”

He silently thought in his heart, can an old soldier like himself, who is full of blood, have hopes and pursuits, and can also make a modest contribution to such a lofty and lofty miss.

Luodu, the rumors in the street market, day by day, every day there are fresh heads, hung on the city wall. There are different ones, from the Southern Dynasty spies, to the suspicion of secretly hiding and retribution, from robbing the three major cities, to the trivial crimes of stealing chickens and dogs.

The severe punishment law called the special period makes the cost and price of ordinary people's mistakes infinitely magnified, and it is likely that life and death or family will be destroyed overnight. Whether it is hanging in the city, or in front of the dispatch of troops on the spot.

And the originally high prices also continued to rise on the hitchhiker of the Southern Army's approach to the capital, so the low-level residents in the city could only rely on the daily limited supply of official food to buy back two liters of grain that exuded the musty smell of Chen Guzi, and survive.

And in the other industry at the former site of Liang Yuan, Qiluo wine, delicacies are still the same, silk and bamboo Yale, all day long, waiting for Zhang Dekun, wearing loose and soft home robes, enjoying the domestic beauty, serving and feeding with the mouth as a cup.

Since his predecessor, Lingbao Gong, returned strongly from Pinglu Dao and retook charge of the Generalissimo's Mansion of the World's Soldiers and Horses, he has made a very cooperative gesture and handed over the Luodu Stay and the Generalissimo's Mansion, all the resources and channels that may be involved, only the most basic interrogation authority remains.

Then if there is nothing to do, he hides here, showing a posture of indulging and intoxicated with the sound of dogs and horses, and being a low-key and introverted person, but he is Da Zhi's nephew after all, and many things cannot avoid him.

For example, a woman in palace dress with gorgeous makeup and temples, long skirts and big sleeves, walked in, squatted down like a cat, obediently leaned against his hand, and touched his leg with her cheek.

She is called Sugar Candy, and she is said to be a subordinate agent, and she has been missing Jin Qiude's sister for a long time.

A woman who is quite scheming and calculating, after a chance encounter, she talks with excellent words, and her blue eyes are secretly accepted as his confined, of course, the identity on the surface is still a female official.

Responsible for monitoring and controlling the female dependents of those clans, and arranging for them to continue to be useful in some shady places.

"The new army of the Southern Dynasties, which the lord asked people to investigate, has already responded and the results have been ......"

She leaned her head on her lap for a moment before she lightly opened her lips

"Now trapped in Bianzhou City is the third of the seven generals of the New Army, the forward, the left forward, and the middle peak ......."

"And the king has drawn attention to the new army of firearms, which is the guerrilla division of the left wing, and the newly promoted guerrilla army,"

"The leader is one of the eight leaves of the South China Sea, the eldest son of the Luo Domain......"

"In the Yunzhou generation, fighting with the Hebei Army......"

Zhang Dekun nodded slightly

Although the Southern Dynasty is menacing, after all, the Northern Dynasty has been operating in the local area for a long time and has left a lot of foreshadowing, so under the great expansion of the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty, with the help of your old feudal towns, some eyeliner and shadows have also been activated, and you can contact a considerable level of sources.

As the saying goes, you have me, I have you.

"After a few years, I came back from Lingwai...... Then I met the wife of the head of the southeast to recruit the director, and bowed to my sister and brother."

Suddenly, the words that Tangtang was saying made his heart move, and he seemed to grasp the key, but he was vague and ungraspable.
