"The first confrontation with the marshal of the Han Empire, I admit, I was very excited. It turns out that we, the Romans, will not lose to the Han in terms of tactical arrangements...... But I must explain that no one told me in advance that in this confrontation, in addition to the duke and marshal of the Han Empire, my opponent is an equally outstanding Marquis of the Han Dynasty! —Memoirs of the Roman god of war, Rovinis.

"His Excellency Rovinis is indeed a very good military general, his tactics and plans are quite ancient, he is good at using his troops and is ingenious, and his tactical arrangements are on par with my Han Dynasty. It's a pity that he is only an excellent military general at best, but he is not an excellent military commander! Fundamentally speaking, the commander-in-chief can no longer be equated with a general and a soldier, because the commander-in-chief sometimes has to give up the honor that the soldier pursues! Even to be shameless and indecent, to be able to use every chess piece in your hand and give everything you can for the ultimate victory - including personal dignity and commitment! —Memoirs of the Marshal of the Han Dynasty, Vol. 2, translated by the University of Rome

When it comes to war, the world always values the result, not the process.

The idea of winning and losing, is not the Oriental's patented understanding of war. All the defeated reaped was shame and tears of pity for the victors.

Abbas, the prince of the Yue Clan, stood five miles away from Feiyun Castle, looking at the mountains of corpses piled up under the castle without saying a word.

Carlos next to him looked at the "clairvoyance" for a moment, and he didn't know whether he was really emotional, or he sighed hypocritically: "So many warriors of the Han army died here, we should bury them thickly!" ”

Abbas gave him a cold look, his lips moving, but he still didn't say anything.

Feiyun Castle has become an island completely. The destruction of the Fourth Legion of the Han Dynasty was announced, and there would be no one on the periphery of Feiyun Castle who would be able to contain the Yue Clan's army. The Yueshi soldiers, under the command of Carlos, began to clean up the battlefield. Bury the corpse - in general, this is the patent of the winners!

Carlos is thinking of himself as a winner.

But looking at the tall and sturdy Flying Cloud Castle, Abbas couldn't show a relaxed expression like Carlos. As the prince of the Moon Clan, Abbas knew all too well the terrifying nature of such a castle. Outside Dihua City is located the first big fort in Dayue Prefecture - Dihua Fort! This kind of castle is definitely more difficult to conquer than any high city in the old state. Because it is a purely military facility, there are no civilians in it, and the defenders can do their best to protect every point without taking into account any non-military factors.

"If possible, try to persuade the Flying Cloud Castle Guards to surrender! We lack powerful siege weapons, and a hard assault on Feiyun Castle will cause us huge casualties! "This is Rovinis' order to Abbas.

"What if the Feiyun Castle Han refuses to surrender?" Abbas asked rhetorically.

Rovinis looked at Abbas in disbelief. After making sure he wasn't joking, he said, "To be honest, it's really hard for me to understand your Oriental thinking pattern, but I sincerely admire your bravery - if Feiyun Castle refuses to surrender, you don't have to attack, just besiege it!" Wait until we defeat their Marshal Hu Gong. Feiyun Castle has to be lowered if it doesn't fall! ”

When Rovinis finished his last sentence, he had a deep confidence on his face!

……

Immerse yourself in a hellish battlefield. Carlos took the "clairvoyance" and looked at it for a long time. He handed it to Abbas and muttered, "Your Royal Highness, look at it, why is there no noise on the wall of the Han Army Fort?" This doesn't seem to fit the character of the Han army! ”

To be honest, Carlos understands the temper of the Han people better. Therefore, when the Yue soldiers looked over the corpses of the Han army, the Han army on Feiyun Castle did not react at all, and I couldn't help but feel a little strange - of course. The actions of the Yue's soldiers in treating the dead bodies of the Han army are not very civilized and even more disrespectful!

The Yueshi were so poor that there had been a drought for two years, followed by a plague. Then there was the rebellion of the displaced people, and the entire Dayue Prefecture was already in tatters. Although the war was secretly financed by the Romans, the food was still not enough. Therefore, when looking through the corpses, the first thing the Yue's soldiers had to do was to rip off the clothes of the fallen soldiers of the Han army, search every pocket, dry food, water bottle, arrows, combat boots, and armor...... Even the underwear made of silk is the target of the Yueshi people's search!

Of course, the Romans did not provide free money, and one of the most important exchange items was silk.

It can be said that the Yueshi people swept everything on the battlefield like locusts. The fallen soldiers of the Han army were often stripped naked, lying naked on the ground stained red by their own blood!

This attitude is clearly an insult to both the East and the West! Great insult!

If it was before yesterday, the walls of the Han army fort would have been noisy for a long time, and from time to time they would shoot arrows to vent their anger. But today, the entire Feiyun Castle is quiet and terrifying, except for the big Han Panlong Flag fluttering on the bell tower at the highest point of Feiyun Castle, there is not a single figure!

"Your Royal Highness, is there a tentative attack?" Carlos said worriedly.

Abbas said lightly: "Your Excellency Carlos, I know why the Han army doesn't make noise, and there is no need to be tempted. ”

"Oh, why?"

"Because they are ready to live and die with the city!" Abbas took a deep breath and said, "They already have the will to die, so they don't care about this afterlife!" ”

Carlos fell silent, as if chewing on Abbas's words. After a while, he said: "Okay, then His Royal Highness the Prince will surrender to them next?" ”

"What do you say?" Abbas squinted at him, sneering.

Carlos looked at the still quiet Feiyun Castle and said with a wry smile: "It seems that there is no need!" ”

……

After being silent for a long time, Carlos said: "Since you can't surrender, does His Royal Highness the Prince have an idea to take this castle?" ”

Abbas nodded silently, reluctant to say much to Carlos.

The Yueshi people, there are Yueshi people's combat methods!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The only thing the Yue's people could do for the Han army was to take off their bloody nameplates, pack them in cowhide bags, and shoot them into Feiyun Castle.

On the fort wall of the second layer of Feiyun Castle, Shen Yun was holding a nameplate in his hand, and there was a deep hole in the nameplate that was two fingers wide that had been shot out by arrows, and the dried blood stains blurred the handwriting on the nameplate. After careful wiping, the engraved Chinese characters on the nameplate were gradually revealed: Li Zhan, Sanjia Bingyouhu, Tu Yuci County, Taiyuan County, Jinzhou of the Han Empire.

Li Zhan. Commander of the Fourth Army Corps of the Northern Front of the Han Empire. Fall!

From the nameplate that was pierced by the cluster of arrows, it can be seen that Li Dianshuai was hit by an arrow in the front - he fought on the front line, always facing the enemy head-on, until death came! As a soldier, Shen Yun admires this Li Dianshuai incomparably! But as the Earl of the Great Han, Shen Yun deeply despised this reckless man - charging on the front line, are you Changshan Zhao Zilong or Meng Zhang Fei?

The dead are gone, and Shen Yun can't blame anything. Li Zhan's body, along with other soldiers of the Fourth Legion, was buried naked in a deep pit east of Feiyun Castle.

The weather is getting hotter, and if you don't bury it in time. Once the corpse decomposes, it can easily cause a plague. The plague virus can be regardless of identity, and both Han and Yueshi people must die.

There were obviously too many corpses, and the Fourth Army of the Han Army lost more than 24,000 people before and after, and the Yueshi people also paid the price of nearly 36,000 people. So many bodies need to be buried. For the era when there were no excavators, the amount of work was not small. The Yue clan dispatched three legions. It took two full days to completely bury it.

It was these two days. Let Feiyun Castle breathe, and Shen Yun finally calmly grasped the military command of the entire Feiyun Castle with the support of the Fifth Company and others!

"Master Hou, Captain Hechen of the Fifth Song invites you to go to the conference room to discuss matters." A soldier appeared behind Shen Yun and said respectfully.

For Fang Cheng, Zhao Xin and others, it doesn't matter if Shen Yun is a school soldier. Whether it is a marquis or a brother in a robe who stirs a horse spoon in a pot, but for other ordinary soldiers, the marquis is like a celestial being.

The Han Dynasty was founded for thousands of years. The fear of imperial power and nobles is already the instinct of every ordinary person, which is also the reason why the Fifth Company wants Shen Yun to come forward to take power - even if there are a few officers who don't take the Marquis of Dahan in their eyes, Shen Yun's identity can also deter most of the soldiers! That's enough!

Of course, so far, there has not been anyone in Feiyun Castle who does not take Shen Yun, the marquis, in his eyes - even Ma Gu has obeyed his orders.

Shen Yun frowned invisibly and said, "Haven't things all been discussed?" What else is there to discuss? ”

The soldier bowed his head and replied, "My subordinates don't know about this." ”

Shen Yun nodded, handed him the nameplate in his hand, and said, "Put all the nameplates of the dead robe in the underground vault." ”

The underground vault is divided into several rooms, one of which is dedicated to storing the nameplate of the fallen soldiers. Because the nameplate is the only evidence to identify the dead, and it is also the basis of the imperial court's pension, every soldier attaches great importance to it. And whether it is the Han people or the Yueshi people, they will also not spoil the nameplate at will - the battlefield has no eyes, who knows if the next person to die is not himself? Respect for the nameplate is respect for yourself! Everyone understands this!

……

There were many people sitting in the conference room, but there was no Lin Min, the original brigade commander of Feiyun Castle. Lin Min, the supreme commander of Feiyun Fort two days ago, was sent by Shen Yun to the brigade commander's room to stay, so don't come out and run around and command. As for his responsibility, after the war, people from the Judge Advocate General's Office came to settle accounts with him.

Shen Yun walked in proudly and sat down on the main seat in front of the conference table.

"Master Hou, the soldiers of each battalion have been reorganized, this is the roster, please take a look at it." The one who spoke was the surviving captain and company commander of the original Fourth Army Corps, surnamed Chen, named Yin, and the word Shanbei. The so-called south of the mountain and the north of the water are yang, and the north of the mountain and the south of the water are yin. That's where his name comes from.

Chenyin is twenty-six years old and a native of Huailai County, Yanzhou. He joined the army at the age of eighteen, and four years later he was directly transferred to the second class regiment as a lieutenant, and after his Shuozhou regiment was incorporated into the Northern Xinjiang Front, he was also temporarily promoted to company commander because of his stable personality, and was in charge of the baggage logistics of the third brigade of the first town of the fourth regiment. Kind of a man who can be in power.

After Shen Yun took over the command, the first thing he had to face was the chaotic establishment of the troops, and there were too many factions among the officers, making it impossible to effectively command. Therefore, after consulting with the Fifth Company and others, the first thing he did was to reorganize all the Han soldiers and soldiers in Feiyun Castle, and the squad and platoon establishment remained unchanged, but the company level and above were redeployed. The original Feiyun Guard defenders were separated from the remnants of the Fourth Legion, placed under the command of the Special Division, and reorganized a force. Since this reorganization is temporary, it is still referred to as the Special Editorial Department.

When the order was issued during the reorganization process, Shen Yun was still worried that he would not be convinced, so he specially asked Zhang Mo to take the old men of the first battalion of forty-three people to "ambush" outside the conference room, preparing to also have a "cup smashing number". To Shen Yun's surprise, all the officers strongly agreed with this disbandment and reorganization. The attitude is warm and the atmosphere is high. once gave Shen Yun the illusion that the aura of his protagonist was manifested, and the aura of the king was overflowing.

Later, I learned that in fact, whether it was Feiyunwei or the remnants of the Fourth Legion, they were all worried about the current situation, if Lin Min was really capable, for the grassroots officers, they were not as much competing for power and profit as the high-level - the current Feiyun Castle was a dead place, and there was no right to fight for - what they thought was very simple, whoever could lead them to live would be their commander! Shen Yun didn't even stand up. Those officers of the Fourth Legion are also planning to elect Chen Yin to come out and seize power!

Of course, Shen Yun stood up at this moment, and the effect was better. Chenyin, who has the rank of captain, naturally cannot be compared with the marquis recognized by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Although the marquis could not take charge of the army without the emperor's order in the court law, he was in a hurry. Looking at the entire Feiyun Castle, only Shen Yun's identity can convince the public.

After learning that they were following the identity of the Marquis of the Han Dynasty. And not after their own domineering spirit. Shen Yun was still a little sad. Although he didn't go to college, his eight years of military experience and rich experience in logistics management made him handy in the reorganization.

As a result of the final reorganization, the Special Parts Department was used as a framework. The remnants of Feiyunwei and the Fourth Army Corps, including lightly wounded soldiers, were put into the organization, and the entire special department was fleshed out. Specifically, the fifth consecutive term is the first song leader. The battalion commanders under his command are Chu Sui, Luo Oak, and Stone Hammer; Zheng Ying is the second song leader, and the battalion commanders under his command are Ying Liang, Hao Feng, and Huangfu Song; The third song is Wen Cui, and the battalion commanders under his command are Bi Yun, Hu Ke, and Zhong Lisi.

Chen Yin is in charge of the logistics of the special compilation department, the pro-soldier song is led by Fang Cheng, and the guard song is led by Zhao Xin. The former Feiyunwei and the officers above the company level of the Fourth Army Corps, who did not continue to serve, were separately selected to form a staff officer.

The 2,682 people of Shen Yunyun before did not include the remnants of the Fourth Army that had returned to the fort, because most of them were wounded. However, after a few days of rest, many lightly wounded soldiers have been able to re-put on the battlefield, so after sorting it out, Shen Yun found that he had actually become a marquis with the name of a department commander, but led the brigade commander's troops! This is unprecedented!

The entire special edition department is not only full, but even overstaffed. Taking the first song as an example, the strength of the first song is normally about 1,800 to 2,000 people, but the special department was not full at all because it was composed of cadet soldiers, and the entire special department only had more than 2,000 soldiers. But now, with the replenishment of the Fourth Legion, there are a full 2,200 people under the command of the Fifth Company at the moment! And each song has the phenomenon of super-compilation!

Shen Yun didn't know how the Fifth Company talked to the officers of the Fourth Legion, and they all agreed to give up their military power and hand over their subordinates to the Fifth Company. For this reason, Shen Yun admired it very much.

Later, Shen Yun understood that although the Han Empire was a feudal system, there was no hidden danger of the feudal dynasty's private army in the army, because every soldier had high Chinese, and he knew deeply that he was not someone's private soldier, but the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Under the circumstance that the soldiers at the grassroots level have this kind of awareness, it is impossible for some people to cling to the military power.

Without further ado, in short, Shen Yun's reorganization process was very smooth. As the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, he commanded a team of nearly 7,800 people with the rank of colonel - this is the establishment of a brigade! In addition, there are nearly 2,000 injuries, if you count them, Shen Yun can be called a town commander!

Of course, because Shen Yun's military commander qualifications were not recognized by Duke Hu, it was impossible for his subordinates to call him "department commander" or "brigade commander", and to call him "Hou Ye".

For Shen Yun, it was the first time to lead so many people, and it was in such a desperate situation, and the pressure was so great that it could be imagined. But fortunately, there are staff officers Qu, as well as the help of the fifth company and Chen Yin, and many things have been decided, as long as Shen Yun approves it. Such a layered, but not bloated and chaotic command system, was established by the Holy Ancestor Emperor five hundred years ago.

While dealing with complicated military affairs, Shen Yun also repeatedly sighed at the Holy Ancestor's system creation art that passed through his predecessors!

……

Looking at the complete roster, Shen Yun nodded and said: "Well, since the reorganization has been completed, then each performs its own duties, the first song is responsible for the outer fortress wall, the second song is responsible for the second layer, and the third song is the reserve, supporting everywhere at any time." ”

As soon as Shen Yun finished speaking, he found that everyone was looking at him with a strange look.

Shen Yun touched his nose and wondered, "What's wrong?" Did I say something wrong? ”

Chen Yin coughed and forced a smile: "No, it's just Master Hou, your plan is to stick to help?" ”

Shen Yun suddenly understood what he was going to discuss at this meeting.

It turned out to be this ......

Shen Yun coughed and smiled embarrassedly: "You also know that Ben Hou was only a school soldier before, and he has no experience in leading a large army...... I wonder if you and the staff have any plans? ”

Everyone also smiled, and didn't give this young Hou Ye too much reproachful looks. After all, everyone knew that although Shen Yun was a marquis, he really had no experience in commanding an army before.

The first to speak was Tatsuin, who represented the will of the Fourth Legion. His opinion is simple, that is, to break through!

The entire Feiyun Castle is now only able to fight with 7,800 people, and if you count the 2,000 wounded soldiers, there are barely 10,000 people. But the Yue clan has three legions and 50,000 troops!

"The enemy is outnumbered, if the marshal does not send reinforcements to the camp, my Feiyun Castle will have to be broken by the rebels sooner or later. Moreover, Feiyun Fort is not far from Jinshan Forest, and the rebels have been fighting for three days, and in a few days, when they return from logging in Jinshan Forest and build siege equipment, Feiyun Fort will be even more dangerous. Chen Yin said worriedly.

Indeed, it is this fortress that Feiyun Castle relies on. And the Yueshi people have been lurking in Beihai Prefecture for a winter, of course, they don't have a competent siege weapon - Xinzhou City has no city walls, and they don't need it in normal times - but if they want to storm Feiyun Castle, they must have siege weapons.

In this era, gunpowder was not widely used in the field of warfare, so the common siege weapons were ladders, crashes, arrow towers, trebuchets, anti-aircraft bed crossbows, and so on. While trebuchets and anti-aircraft crossbows are extremely damaging to walls and gates, they require a sophisticated mechanism to make them. For the Yueshi people, they don't have the ability to create such high-powered siege weapons for the time being. Even if they knew how to build the mechanism, they wouldn't be able to figure it out for a while. So all they can use are siege weapons that can be quickly mass-produced, such as ladders and crashes, and arrow towers.

Siege with these quick siege machines, there is also a cruel technical term - "ant siege"! It is the victory that people climb up from the city wall like ants and pile up with their lives!

Although in film and television works, it seems that every war has a scene of ants attacking the city. But Shen Yun knew that in the real era of cold weapons, the matter of "ants attacking the city" rarely happened. Because that means that both sides of the war have no choice but to fill it with human lives. This is extremely cruel to the soldiers on the besieging side, rolling stones, pounding wood, boiling oil...... There are countless ways to make the soldiers of the "ant-attached siege" deterred. Soldiers are also human beings, and they are also afraid of death! There can be one or two things, but not three. Come a few more times, you don't have to fight the defenders, the siegers have to mess up on their own!

Since it is impossible for the ants to attack the city, why did Chen Yin propose to break through? Because there is not enough food in Feiyun Castle. And they have an advantage in breaking through, and that is the number of horses!

Today's special department is very strange, it is said that it is a cavalry department, but it is the most foot soldiers, but it can be said that it is an infantry department, but there are tens of thousands of horses!

So many horses, the daily consumption of hay and beans is also amazing. If you plan to break out, you should do it early, because once there is not enough food to eat, it will become inevitable to kill horses to satisfy hunger. Once the horses are gone, there is no need to think about breaking out.

This is also the reason why the Chenyin Council immediately convened a military meeting to discuss and make decisions after the reorganization was completed. Flying Cloud Castle must come up with a strategy to deal with it. (To be continued......)
