In the northeast corner of the city, the battle clouds were again thick and the wind was everywhere.

On the flat field, with the sound of small drums beating with the bang, it resounded in the newly unfolded array of the Huaidong Army.

The last of the three white soldiers who were the first to go into battle were raising their spears one after another, and raised them above the shoulders and armpits of their comrades in the front row, so that the shining sharp blades were neatly facing diagonally upwards, forming a front line of deterrence against the cavalry;

In the center, a column of white soldiers poked their shields up to the ground, and on the gap deliberately left on them, set up a short spear held in one hand, which was a posture against the rush of the infantry;

As for the white soldiers in the front row, they squatted on the ground with a slightly smaller hand, raised their three-eyed guns in the sound of the password, and made a certain gesture of wanting to launch;

According to their daily training and maneuvering, they must shoot three shots at an enemy within ten paces of a breath, and then, under the cover of the spear point behind them, slash and slash the enemy in close range with a three-eyed gun and a short knife hammer.

Or lie down with the hand diagonally, and entangle or contain the enemy cavalry who charges into battle.

And this is only the most basic array of Huaidong to assemble and respond to the enemy, although the main enemies they have to face are still cowering behind the tall city walls, and those who have been repeatedly attacked no longer dare to take the initiative to respond to the battle and attack.

This time, it was only after the vigorous negotiation and efforts of the generals of the Henan Special Army, headed by Wei Chen, and the promise of a number of quid pro quo and practical benefits, that the Huaidong Army's intention to participate in and assist in the battle for the last time before returning to the division was finally obtained.

At the same time, it was also under the coordination and cooperation of the middle route army in the city to seize the eastern and northern section of the city wall, which was stubbornly resisted and defended by the upper east gate, which was the main strategic target of the Henan special army.

For this reason, the Central Route Army also rarely allocated additional personnel and materials to supplement and strengthen the Henan Special Army, so that they could recover their old outlook after a long war.

Of course, according to the specific division of labor and tribes, most of the former armies with firearms were stationed in the north of the eastern suburbs to prevent possible foreign aid and containment; Then some elite soldiers were drawn from it to provide sufficient firepower to cover and suppress the main force of the siege with the Huaidong Army;

Therefore, in fact, the main force of the attack was still one of the two armies under Wei Chen.

At the same time, after the Henan Dispatch Army on the eastern outskirts of Yiyi began to attack, the army in the middle of the city also sent at least two troops to take turns along the inner side of the city wall to launch a diversion attack on the defenders on the wall.

And in the midst of waiting.

The additional food before the start of the war was also carried by the men on their shoulders and sent to these white soldiers in a ring of columns, squatting on the ground with fire guns, while burying their heads in checking the ammunition and equipment with medicine on their bodies, while silently waiting among the soldiers;

Mainly made of whale oil and canned meat substitutes, the fried meatballs and fried meatloaf are made; In addition, various mushrooms are dried and ground to make mushroom sauce for seasoning, together with a small slice of blood sausage, wrapped in freshly pasted miscellaneous wheat cakes, and served with canned offal boiled soup; It is extra oily and watery and hungry resistant.

For a moment, the aroma staggered between the arriving camps,

In contrast, the friendly camp in the distance looked a little more chaotic and noisy, and the camp was prepared for war with flatbread, tempeh, air-dried sauce and meat, and a pot of soup that was boiled from leftovers.

It is also hot for most people to gobble up and scramble.

It's just that Suo Chao, who is once again a pioneer general, doesn't seem to have much appetite and appetite, and takes the initiative to give up the exclusive share of fatty and greasy meat slices and steamed salted fish in his name to his relatives left and right.

Under the same input and/or standards, Huaidong has always been able to provide better logistics rations and food treatment than traditional officers and soldiers.

On the one hand, Huaidong's own construction and production movement and the reclamation under the military management can provide an almost endless source of cheap non-staple food and agricultural raw materials, and under the internal allocation and circulation, there is almost no extra cost;

On the other hand, it is the so-called institutional problem that is commonly used in ancient and modern China and abroad.

That is to say, it puts an end to the bad habits and unspoken rules of the traditional military at all levels, or the personnel of the gang who are plucked, and resolutely avoids the direct involvement of military commanders and below, which will lead to the corresponding interests;

For example, the input and management of meals below the team is always carried out by the representatives of the soldiers' committees who are elected in turn in the army, and the point-to-point handover and daily supervision with the logistics department are carried out to eliminate unnecessary waste and achieve simple implementation to people.

Coupled with a relatively reasonable logistics management system and more advanced logistics transportation efficiency, the cost savings and consumption reduction and efficiency increase brought by the natural addition; Therefore, it is natural that in the results of daily operation, a sharp contrast and contrast are formed.

In the end, it can appear in the pot of the low-level soldiers, which is less than the initial investment of thirty percent of the materials and the result of reaching eighty percent, which is naturally clear at a glance.

For example, the criticism and criticism between the decent food eaten by people and the feed that looks like pig food are naturally spread in the exchange and contact.

At the same time, it also brought a lot of pressure and trouble to those friendly generals who enjoyed the vested benefits.

It's just that in the process of preparing for the war, there are also some discordant notes.

"What,"

Feng Juanqi looked at the Marquis Officer Yu in charge of the correction army.

"The 21st and 23rd battalions of the garrison, someone went missing one after another last night?"

"I'm still missing."

But this little episode did not affect the mood of Feng Shuqi's full preparation for the battle, and he had already made up his mind to fight the last battle that was like closing the palace before leaving.

While revealing the reputation and prestige of the Huaidong Army, he also reduced the burden on the army as much as possible, and embarked on the return journey with a relatively relaxed attitude, which was also in his expedient order.

Therefore, after this period of field equipment testing and data collection, some restrictions on the use of ammunition can finally be relaxed.

And for the northern defenders inside the Upper East Gate, the flying boat (observing the hot air balloon) rising high again opposite sent a certain ominous smell in the scorching summer air.

And this ominous flavor quickly turned into a kind of fierce reality. It was a huge iron ball that flew along with the rumbling of cannons.

After the previous battle of knocking on the cannon position at the head of the city, the defenders on the city wall did not have many means to make a counterattack at this distance, but could only hide behind various shelters that thought they were safe like alarmed anthills.

As a result, most of them, after a fairly precise observation, were shot into the ramparts and battlements, the broken crevices and gaps; And then it bouncing and reflecting in a relatively narrow and cramped space, bringing a particularly tragic hell of flesh and blood to the defenders hiding in it.

So much so that the situation was too terrifying, and the rear team that dared to fill it in a hurry was shocked and shocked for a while, and hesitated to enter the field.

However, any moment of hesitation and hesitation on the battlefield is a deadly and terrible chain reaction.

And Zhang Dekun is deployed in the east, which is undoubtedly the biggest victim of this chain reaction.

In fact, when the southern army in the city also heard the noise, under the cover of enough artillery that was pushed up, it rushed through the city wall like a tidal wave.

The outer wall ramparts that he hurriedly built at the expense of manpower and material resources were easily punched out of countless gaps in the process of taking a look, and collapsed in front of the swarming southern soldiers, and could only retreat to the originally relatively strong city wall to continue to hold on.

In the siege camp outside the city, Li Guanyu, a liaison officer from Shuaisi, was also carefully observing and evaluating the performance of the Huaidong artillery team.

"Although they are all small-barreled cannons used in short ranges......"

"But the fight is fast and accurate......"

"There are more numbers, and they are more mobile and lighter......"

"You can easily suppress a piece when you use it together......"

"Compared to those stupid big guys of the Divine Army......"

"Actually, it's more suitable for attacking in the city......"

"Can you give a word or two to Shuai Si...... Leave these artillery fleets behind to listen to ......"

On the other hand, the artillery trucks pushed by more than a dozen people in the city were also slowly running along the temporary aisles cleared out of the ruins, crushing over the uneven ground.

"Push it hard"

The leading general encouraged

"Push the big baby up ......"

"The ...... who beat him up in the north and captives his mother"

"Don't disgrace our Divine Army......"

"Don't be robbed of the limelight by those people in Huaidong......"

"Let them know that we are the ...... who are the best at using firearms in the country"
