Chapter 183: The State City (Text)

In addition to this episode, we arrived at the state city of Anyuan Prefecture all the way without incident, which has become the base camp of the official army to counterbalance the rebellion

It was only when they saw the baggage of the brigade we sent, but the defenders on the city wall showed a certain expression of relief and relief, and it seemed that the lack of food for the officers and soldiers should be real, and even the attitude towards us became polite and enthusiastic

But there is no alienation and coldness in Mohe City, which makes us feel comfortable all the way over

Among the military officials who came to negotiate the delivery, they actually met old acquaintances again.

Although he looks bearded and haggard, it is in stark contrast to the neat and decent people who live in the Tiannan Army. However, looking at the color of the other party's clothes, it is obvious that he has been promoted.

"Congratulations on being promoted, I should call you Chen Jian Si now, or Chen Gouguan......"

I asked people to set up a small feast, take out a few private delicacies, and invite them to the table for a drink.

"I'd rather not have this opportunity to carry it,"

Chen Junhou, who described himself as down, complained to me with a wry smile

"So far, I have been trapped in this errand, and I can't get out of it......"

"I just didn't think that you actually waded into this muddy water......"

"Muddy Waters"

I was surprised.

"Do You Know ......"

Chen Junhou, no, it is already Chen Jian Si continued.

"In this land, it's not just the Ma clan who is rebelling,"

"Fifteen of the nineteen feudal lords in Anyuan Prefecture participated in the rebellion ......"

"Of the remaining four families, two are located in remote areas, and their attitudes are unclear for the time being, and one is under the control of the official army, so they dare not act rashly."

"And the other Nuo clan is the opponent of the Ma family, and it is the ...... that is willing to cooperate with the official army."

"As for other states, I don't know how many people still have secret tunes"

"Do you understand now......

Only then did I understand what kind of enemy the officers and soldiers had to face. Or how did the officers and soldiers of the previous time create such a large number of enemies?

"So, what are we going to deal with are the local former feudal soldiers and village warriors? ……”

I shook my head and tried to shake off the worries and persistence.

"It's not a good idea to fight guerrilla warfare with these local snakes......"

I am also from the Sea Domain, so how can I not know the doorway in it, is this the origin of the tragic sight on the side of the road when I came......

"And those out-of-state wild dogs swarming in the ......"

He added in a low voice.

"The officers and soldiers were able to seal the ditch and gorge on land, but they could not block the foreign aid coming from the sea on the west coast......"

"Therefore, this war has to be fought......"

"It's so unusual......"

But I was even more confused,

"When did the situation turn so bad......

Even if the family of Da Situ Makuo has no influence in the local area, or no matter how appealing it is, this land has been colonized and domesticated by the Tang people for hundreds of years, and even if it is under the rule of the established dynasty, it will not be so dangerous that everyone will be in danger to this point.

"Nature is a good thing done by the people who have gone to ......

Chen Junhou gave a kind of sarcastic sneer.

"That Gao Weiwei and Wang both undertook to die...... But they got us all into it, and we couldn't extricate ourselves

"Now for the sake of the dignity of the imperial court, it is impossible to be lenient with these traitors......"

And the leaders of the army are not necessarily united...... How can you teach me to look forward to the end?"

"But if we win this time, at least we can stop Ansheng for a while......"

The right guard general Gao Hun and the privy councillor who were not in the rebellion both promised Wang Xu? What's going on here.

I wanted to ask for more details, but he refused to say anything more, but turned to him to care, and said something else, and finally drank a few more glasses of wine at my place, and brought a large bag of sachets to give the bequest, and staggered away with the help of his relatives.

But I was even more puzzled by what the previous group of officials and soldiers had done that even the local inland feudal divisions, which had always supported the imperial court, had to rise up and rebel, and eventually turned into an uncontrollable rebellion. In other words, how to make mistakes and perverse actions, so that this land is full of suspicion and hostility, and even the logistics line of the official army can no longer be maintained normally.

You must know that Anyuan Prefecture, a large inland state, has always been known for its tame folk customs and peaceful rule. The outer islands of Yuanzhou are incomparable.

Although these local feudal divisions are considered to be a major conservative force in the Saikaido, most of them rarely have any sense of zài in ordinary times, but although there is no lack of contradictions and disputes internally, they are quite grouped externally. Therefore, once they rise up to rebel, it will be quite troublesome and tricky.

After all, it often takes hundreds of years or hundreds of years. The top-down bonds and networks of these feudal lords, consisting of clansmen, clansmen, in-laws, vassals, and subjects, are not so easily broken and destroyed, especially under their disappointment with the officials and their sad resistance and rejection.

The local feudal fortresses that have been divided for generations, built by the scholars and the countrymen, and are similar to the ancient Central Plains dock wall-style fortresses, are bound to become stumbling blocks and hard bones that the officials and soldiers must overcome and uproot one by one.

Just as the Ma clan came out of the mansions in the state city and the manors in the suburbs, in the territory of several families, there are more than a dozen large and small fortress-like settlements, which belong to the original era of the Great Pioneering, used to suppress and defend the local Shanyi Tu tribe, and now it has also become a stronghold against the official army.

Moreover, there are enough mountains and forests in the local area, and as a person from a similar island domain, these mountains and forests are everywhere, but they are more troublesome than those stubborn strongholds.

Not long after we were stationed, the officers and troops announced the so-called Qingyangdu victory, that is, the bridge crossing that we fought against the enemy, and the specific content was nothing more than the officers and troops fighting bravely to be the first, chasing the dead, killing 10,000 local rebels, and seizing the heavy banners. It was also uprooted and destroyed, and dozens of hiding places in the mountains and villages, therefore, the whole army gave wine and meat to celebrate.

Even we were given two cans of food each, a bottle of light wine, of course from the baggage we had sent. For a time the whole city was shrouded in a certain optimism and prospects,

It's just that what I saw and heard in this huge state city was almost all about the official army and various people related to the official army, and there was little sense of existence among the local residents, which also indirectly confirmed some of my conjectures.

Beneath the surface of the prosperity of the Southern Dynasties, perhaps the foundation of the bottom layer has begun to loosen. This time, the Anyuan Prefecture Rebellion, which launched a rebellion in Tiannan, was just an escalation of some kind of situation and a further challenge.

Not doing these things has nothing to do with me for the time being, and the most important thing for me at the moment is to do my duty and train the soldiers by the way while preserving my strength as much as possible.

"Nineteen o'clock obliquely on the triangle, put the ......"

As the password crackled and crackled, it spread into a long ribbon of smoke in front of the rows of firearms, and the time when the gun was fired became more and more neat.

"This time, it's half a breath...... Preliminary evaluation of C class"

Mu Long, the first fire commander and trainer of the pacesetter, put down the hourglass in his hand and said to another soldier who was recording in his notebook, he copied a list of soldiers in different formations and batches, the gap and loading efficiency before and after each shot.

Others multiply these table numbers by some kind of wave line chart to reflect the best state and duration of these soldiers in physical and mental fitness in a more intuitive way, and then find out the relatively reasonable wave amplitude and rotation interval.

In order to maintain the endurance and state of the soldier during the battle, after all, the weapon will be strained, and after a long time, the person will also get tired, and then the concentration and accuracy will decrease. At the same time, when there is sufficient ammunition, rack your brains and try your best to shorten the interval between shots and improve the duration of firepower.

In addition to the infusion of reflexive memory fed with abundant ammunition, it is necessary to explore and formulate relatively scientific tactical details, personnel and steps to further tap the potential of weapons and people.

Under the conditions of daily stationing, the gun team has to shoot at least 30 to 50 batches a day, and the basic unit for the overall evaluation is carried out in the unit of even fire, and only the comprehensive results of the collective reaching a certain target and hitting frequency are used as the standard line of qualification and the evaluation of rewards and punishments for merit and inferiority.

It is also the last elimination system, and the excellent team will be given a separate reward for the food and other treatment on the day according to the three, six, nine, etc., and the unqualified ones will only be given the most basic rations, and they will also be additionally responsible for sanitation and cleaning, weapon preparation and other miscellaneous chores, and if they are at the bottom many times, they will be demoted to use as auxiliaries to stimulate their enthusiasm for training competition.

During this period, the hand-to-hand combat units will be added from time to time, as well as the long-range suppression of the archery team with headless arrows, to disrupt their shooting rhythm and test their on-the-spot performance and unhurried composure.

At the same time, I was also brewing some kind of new adjustment and change.

After many battles, I found that the independent shooting team is obviously inferior to the gun team in terms of suppression, but the victory lies in the convenience and speed of the response, and it is easy to get started in the early stage, which can be used as an excess before receiving the enemy, but after falling into a stalemate, it seems a little chicken, but he can only temporarily idle and pick up the talisman short knife to press the formation for the friendly army, but as a reserve to let them go to hand-to-hand combat is only an expedient measure, obviously not their good and advantage, as an auxiliary force and a bit wasteful.

Therefore, I want to use the training of the shooters and the guns, so that the shooters can also learn to use the guns, and then break up the mixed formations such as the guns as the alternates for the guns, replacing the original auxiliary role of the guns, and the original auxiliaries will be liberated to strengthen the hand-to-hand combat troops of the white soldiers and spears.

In this way, while canceling the shooting team, two other gun teams were formed, according to the ratio of 75 to 45, and the allocation was carried out, so that before the enemy gun team loaded and fired, the shooters in these teams would first cover and contain the crossbows, and then when the guns were ready to start shooting in formation, these still spare archers could also throw bows and arrows to assist in suppression.

After the last few rounds of shooting, these shooters are transferred to a supporting role as needed, preparing the gunners for low-intensity tasks such as reloading guns, carrying goods and casualties, and even holding licenses for protection, and even serving as substitutes for the gunners after a certain number of casualties.

It's just that in the past few days, there have been many more spectators outside the shooting range temporarily assigned to us on the outskirts of the city, but it is the officers and soldiers who have taken turns to come to watch, and they are obviously quite interested and interested in the so-called offensive and defensive firearms tactics that I have supported under frequent Jixi and harassment.

Nowadays, the dressed officers and soldiers are chasing the rebels outside, so the main ones who stay in the state city are some second- and third-rate troops, and the military discipline and vigilance should be much relaxed.

But no matter how noisy and noisy they were, the veterans and non-commissioned officers, in accordance with the drill rules, strictly supervised and restrained the skullers, tried to keep their minds relatively free and focused, and whipped and punished those who made mistakes and showed their flaws with wicker and horsewhips.

A few days later, Danxi, who had led the troops out, also returned with a large number of officers and soldiers, and handed me a message.
