In fact, many battalion commander-level officers in the Ryukyus were just squad leaders or even ordinary team members three years ago, and these people have been trained in battle after battle, and then they stand out, and then they will receive education, learn to command, and then be promoted.

Every time they are promoted, as long as the war is not particularly urgent, they will be retrained for one to three months, so that they can become familiar with the command more quickly, even if they accept their fate temporarily on the battlefield, they will supplement their learning after the war.

Moreover, combined with the continuous indoctrination and learning of the post-war summary meeting, discussion meetings, and study meetings, the young army of the Ryukyus did not maintain such high efficiency in such rapid expansion.

Zhang San: At present, the total size of the navy and army has exceeded 300,000, and there are more than 30 regimental-level units in the army and marines, more than 100 at the battalion level, and even more in the navy.

One ship in the Navy is a battalion-level unit, and three ships are a regiment-level unit, so the Navy has almost a hundred regiments, of course, there are not so many people, so the number of officers is huge.

It is unrealistic to rely on Zhang San to rely on the foresight of history, and then go to various places to recruit a group of heroes to lead the army, and some heroes really have no command ability, and it may outweigh the losses if they insist on pulling out seedlings to help them grow.

Therefore, Zhang San organized those fierce generals who were not suitable for commanding the army into a separate force of the Praetorian Guard, such as Yu Tai, such as Li Yuanba and others, and Zhang San's battalion commander-level officials and most of the regiment commanders did not have the name on Liangshan, and some were not even martial arts masters.

However, the combat effectiveness of these people commanding the troops is no worse than that commanded by those super masters, and after the next step of the troops' firearms, the role of these fierce generals will be even more limited.

The battle on the city wall continued, both of them were red-eyed, and Xu Guanzhong had to send an additional 10,000 defenders to the city wall in the face of the Song army, which was like a nerve. In this kind of white-hot battle, the rain in the sky suddenly became lighter, and Zhang San also laughed.

Tong Guan under the city also seemed to realize what urged the Song army to attack, but unfortunately when the heavy rain turned into moderate rain, it turned into light rain again, so the Ryukyu army's counterattack began, this time because of the large number of people under the city, the soldiers on the city wall directly lit the fire oil bomb and threw it down.

As soon as these fire oil bombs hit the ground, they exploded with a bang and splashed a large area of fire oil, although many soldiers' clothes were wet, but this could not stop the burning of fire oil bombs in the slightest.

However, because the soldiers under the city wall stepped on a lot of mud back and forth, as long as they were not hit by a large area, they could still extinguish the fire as long as they rolled a few times, but the fire oil bombs on the city fell one after another and still caused a lot of pressure on the Song army under the city.

Finally, after a quarter of an hour, Tong Guan saw that the sea of fire under the city wall had been trained into a line, and in order to avoid the same situation last time, he ordered the troops to temporarily retreat, but did not return to the camp, but squatted under the city and waited for the weather to change.

Anyway, it's summer, and there's nothing to rain on, the battlefield is gradually returning to calm, and the twin sides of the war are beginning to accumulate strength for the next wave of battles, Xu Guanzhong breathed a sigh of relief, and withdrew the first batch of garrison troops who were the most injured and tired to repair, and then replaced them with 10,000 people. In addition, there are more than 20,000 people in the city who have just come up.

At first, Zhang San was not sure whether the offensive of the Song army below would be weakened, but after the rain was small for a while, it gradually became bigger again, and the horn of the attack once remembered that a new war had begun.

Sure enough, this attack was much worse than the last time, the last time it took an hour to climb the city wall, this time it took longer to succeed, and the two sides were once again scorched in the rain.

The men of the army on the city tower began to go to the city to distribute rice balls, as well as bamboo tubes with hot soup, the Song army under the city wall did not have this treatment, but in the morning when the siege began, fried noodles and cakes were distributed, although they were all soaked through, but at this time some people who still disliked this and that.

Everyone took advantage of the time to cushion their stomachs and continue to fight, but this time it seemed that the heavens were not on the side of the Ryukyu army, and although the rain did not turn into torrential rain, it did not stop for a moment.

The battle lasted until night, and the Ryukyu army began to replace the people who were replaced, and then the people on the city wall went down to rest, and the Song army under the city also completed the replacement work in batches.

In the second half of the night, just when the people in the city were exhausted, the rain was a little lighter, and then a large number of fire oil bombs were thrown down to light up the entire night sky.

This light rain lasted until dawn, and then it became heavy again, although the rain was still the same rain, but the Song army's attack was completely weakened, and the attack no longer had momentum.

The next day, the heavy rain stopped coming and going, and the Song army also began to attack like grinding foreign workers, and even retreated without climbing the city wall on several occasions, while the Ryukyu army was also happy to repair, and the fierce battle turned into a contest of willpower.

Tonight, however, Hangzhou's troops finally arrived at the north bank of the Yangtze River in the west of Taizhou and began to disembark, and drove north overnight.

The Ryukyu army drove thirty miles to the north, converged with the intelligence officers, and began to drive in the direction of the pontoon bridge, because the canal was not particularly wide, and there was no wind and waves, so the pontoon bridge was laid very simply, and by the time the large army arrived, five pontoon bridges had been laid on the canal.

At this time, from the time of disembarkation to the time of coming, the sky was already dawning, and the combat troops began to cross the river quickly, and as for the logistics and heavy equipment, they would follow after the personnel had passed.

On the third day of the war, although the Song army took turns to rest, it was also exhausted, and the defenders on the city wall were the same.

Therefore, on the third day of the war, although Tong Guan promised double the benefits, it was difficult to drive these extremely tired Song troops to launch the charge of the first day, and Zhang San was also relieved after receiving reinforcements from Hangzhou that had gone around to the north of the Song army.

Tong Guan also knew that at this time it was already the last moment, and if he couldn't hold on, the three days of hard work would be wasted at one time, so he not only urged the front-line forbidden army, but even moved the Chinese army battalions to the position.

On Zhang San's side, in addition to the 20,000 troops left behind, the rest of the people were also pressed on the city wall, looking at both sides as if they were making a last fight, but the leaders of both sides were not only observing the situation of the battlefield, but also observing the changes in the weather.

Zhang San was naturally waiting for the offensive action of the Ryukyu Army after the heavy rain was light, while Tong Guan was hoping to attack the city wall after the rain was light again.
