Chapter 956 [Planning]

Throughout the Great Song Dynasty (Northern Song Dynasty), although there are many ills, most of the people in later generations are summarized as redundant officials, redundant soldiers, redundant expenses, and three mountains. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

As for the mechanism of the Song army's food and salary, it has been described in detail above, so I naturally don't say much here, but I just say that this Lingbao guard unit formed because of the new tactics formulated by Huang Jie is not only a new army and has no combat achievements, and the other has not been in battle, so of course it cannot be overstepped in terms of treatment, so it can only be determined by the standard of ordinary box army troops first, after all, the military department of the Great Song Dynasty is not run by Huang Jie's own family, and it always has to pay attention to rules and processes.

But! The stipulation is that people are dead, and people are alive, so Huang Jie, without singing against the Ministry of War, privately promised that in addition to the various foods, subsidies and pensions calibrated by the army, he would pay two yuan out of his own pocket for each level of beheading, and if he died in battle, he would pay an additional 100 yuan.

Let's not say that the height of 100 guan of this extra pension is not high, just say that the reward for beheading is much higher than the regular reward in the army, you must know that even at this time, the first reward for ordinary military formations is only "a thousand gold", that is, a thousand copper coins, and it is always more when converted into this unit.

And there are still rules in the army, the bounty must first be shared with the commanders at all levels, and a part of it will be distributed to the fallen comrades, and in the end it will only end up with a few hundred dollars.

And Huang Jiexu's "two runs" are not calculated according to 770 yuan, but "two thousand gold", that is, two thousand copper coins, which are almost three times when converted.

Of course, the money that was given as a special reward must be shared with the commander and his comrades, but in the end, the amount that fell into the hands of the individual was naturally much higher.

And for this kind of private reward, Huang Jie also has a good calculation, although this Jurchen head two times is not cheap, if you get 10,000 heads, it is not only 20,000 yuan!

If it is 100,000 heads, it will only be 200,000 yuan, compared to his Thunder God artillery unit that swallows gold and silver, and can get five or six yuan for a random cannon, or a chariot worth five or six thousand yuan at every turn, if he can buy Jurchen heads purely with money, he is really willing to go bankrupt and sell iron to do this thing.

With Huang Jie's net worth now, it is estimated that it should be affordable to buy him a Jurchen head of 200,000 or 300,000 yuan!

Less gossip, but also get down to business. Hearing that Elder Sable actually talked about this, he was so ashamed that everyone couldn't raise their heads, even Han Shizhong also blushed, and said stubbornly: "Where is the elder!" How can I be so shameless, to say that I covet the Jurchens' beheading reward, but how can I say that I covet the marshal's favor and make the brothers do that dirty thing? ”

Among the people present, although Elder Sable is not the old man who has followed Huang Jie for the longest time, he is the oldest elderly person who has followed Huang Jie, and the servants usually respect Huang Jie as their own land king, so Elder Sable's prestige in the army is not low, and no one dares to make a face with him when he hears him reprimanded him like this.

However, seeing that the atmosphere was tending to deteriorate, Sun Gu also had some eyes, and he hurriedly came to the round and said: "The elder naturally has to teach a lesson!" However, General Han's original intention was also how to better retreat from the enemy, so there was no need to be so harsh. Speaking of which, Sun also found out that there would be a battle tomorrow, and he really wanted to discuss it. Although there were many drills in Hebei, after all, it was a rough performance, and the two sides of the drill were not really fighting to the death. ”

Hearing that Sun Gu came out of the round, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Elder Mink didn't really want to make trouble, so he patted his thigh and said, "What is Goro's plan?" ”

Sun Gu slowly stroked his beard and said: "Sun wants to come, but there are two things. One is the grease on the sloping roof, although it is cold outside the house at this time, but the soldiers live in the wall, more or less will produce some heat, and wipe it on early, but I am afraid that it will melt a lot by then, so I think it is better to wait until the enemy army breaks through to within a hundred paces before smearing. ”

Someone immediately said: "How long does it take for you to apply grease?" Is it in time? ”

Someone replied: "Although the pig juice is easy to freeze in the cold weather, if the enemy army has advanced to within 100 paces, it will naturally turn into boiling oil, so that people will set up a ladder to the top of the slope and sprinkle it in wooden barrels, how many breaths will it take?" ”

This fire group is a combat group of the defending force responsible for the close defense, and its mission is to fight the enemy troops who are clinging to the city walls by throwing logs, stones, boiling oil, gold juice (dung) and gunpowder weapons.

Everyone thought about it along the way, and they all nodded, and Han Shizhong hurriedly said, "Not bad!" Gorou's strategy is not quickly recorded! ”

Sun Gu continued: "There is another matter, which was also reminded by Elder Ermine before. When the pit was set up at noon, the elder said to Sun Mouyan, saying that if it wasn't for today's cold and freezing, the depth of the pit would only be a few more feet to be dug up, but if the Jurchens would fill it tomorrow like a crazy demon, the number of kills would not count, and they would be afraid that there would be a lot of them, but the pit would be filled! ”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, and after they made up the scene of the Jurchens filling the pits with human flesh, they couldn't help but be happy at the same time, and some people even shouted: "Yes! Yes also! The elder was very worried, and when I was in Hebei, I also thought about it. ”

This so-called pit is set on the five corners of the rhombic fort. The shape of the castle is a square shape, and the inside of the triangle with five corners of the convex outer wall is not a storehouse, but is all set up as a pit, and a large number of spikes with spear heads are inserted into it.

The purpose of this setting is that once the enemy arrives at the foot of the Lingbao and climbs to the top of the city wall through ladders or building carts and other combat equipment, it will be difficult to escape the fate of slipping and falling, although the height of the city wall is almost three zhang, even if it falls down on the ground, it is difficult to escape serious injury, but it is not troublesome to have an extra layer of protection, so when building the fort, the soil within the five corners is dug out and buried in the prefabricated components to fill at the same time, and it is also set up as a trap by the way.

And now the pit of Tangchi Fort has not been dug too deep because of the cold and freezing, and it is only more than five feet, one person is high, plus the height of the city wall of two zhang and seven, so that the whole height has reached three zhang and two three, that is, the height of almost ten meters or four stories in later generations.

Now that I think about it, if these two want to say that they slipped and fell from the top of the city wall, even if they were not stabbed alive by the spikes, they would have to fall to death if they fell on the ground that was as hard as a stone, and the long-range shooting group in the guard unit also had to make up for the knife (arrow), but if there were more people who fell, then the people who fell in front were only afraid that they would become the meat cushions of the people behind. Tens of thousands of people may be able to fill it.
