Chapter 0438 - Not to be underestimated

"Captain Haojiaozhang learned that there was a lack of dense forests near Wenchi, and it was impossible to harvest large trees nearby, so I and other generals discussed, so we demolished the houses in the city and built a simple fence in the northern suburbs outside the city, so that the residents in the city could move out for the army to stay temporarily. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Wang Yanchao also realized that this was very bad, and he was a little lacking in confidence to speak.

"Wang Desheng! You are also a town marshal, and you have done this kind of disturbing thing? The county town is so small, could it be that all the buildings were bulldozed and 50,000 troops were stationed? It will take at least a few months for the grain and grass to be collected and transported from here, and cultivation will resume in the spring. Zhang Yue almost jumped up when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask sharply.

"What time of year can you mistaken, there is a salt pond here rich in green salt, most of the residents in the city make a living by boiling salt and mining salt, and now that the army has arrived, it must be carried by the people, right? Wouldn't it be just right to requisition them on the spot? ”

Wang Yanchao was also very unhappy when he heard it, and asked loudly, he was also a section commander, and he was deployed along the border of the northwest camp, and this position was also a temporary assignment, and Zhang Yue's northwest border was recruited, theoretically at the same level, but Zhang Yue was also the envoy of the Xuanhui North Academy, holding the festival Yue in his hand, and bringing the main army to come, he was a veritable and justifiable commander of the army.

"Alright! Wang Dashuai! Zhang can't cure you of the big crime of delaying the military plane, but it's still okay to get up to the minor, wait and listen! Zhang Yue was greatly annoyed, whipped his horse and went to the front of the garrison army, discussed with Hou Zhangyi, and decided to find a slightly higher place on the outskirts of the city to camp again.

The army of 50,000, plus the grain, grass, and heavy stables, covers an area of nearly ten miles, and it is a joke if there is no large camp squeezed into the city, so I don't know what the chaos will be. Zhang Yue immediately ordered 5,000 soldiers to go separately to cut down trees, or go to the city to collect timber as a fence erected outside the camp. Another officer was sent to plan the barracks, and 5,000 soldiers were transferred to dig trenches.

The rest of the soldiers could only wait in formation, and the chariot and horse team unloaded the baggage to feed the mules and horses, so that Xue Chucun sent troops to carry hot water out for the men and horses to drink. Soon, the officer who led the troops to dig the trench came to report that the weather had not yet melted away, and the ground was full of frozen soil below the surface of the ground, and the ice slag was splashed everywhere, which shook the soldiers' wrists and numb, and they could not dig at all.

"Burn it with fire! Boil hot water on the spot and pour it down for me, in short, the soldiers will be stationed in the camp tonight, not in the city! Zhang Yue held back his old anger, but he didn't care about it, and insisted on camping on the spot.

The sky was soon dark, the wind was blowing in the field, the temperature dropped sharply, and a pile of bonfires were lit on the construction site, and the soldiers who were doing the work were all warm, but the soldiers who were waiting in the formation really couldn't stand it, and their hands and feet were cold and numb, their lips were dark and shivering, and they didn't dare to speak nonsense, but they secretly greeted Wang Yanchao's ancestors for eighteen generations in their hearts.

The three or four thousand remnants of the Jingnan Army plus the Shuo Fang Army all live in the city, and some of them are stationed at the head of the city in turn, looking at the construction site two or three miles south of the city, the Shuo Fang Army has no feelings, and the soldiers of the Jing Difficult Army, most of the early years have gone out with Zhang Yue to Hehuang, and then the mood is complicated, one by one, they are close to each other, muttering quietly.

"Look...... We call it like a child, and people call it a soldier to eat food! Sensei said that the iron sheet on his body and the guy in his hand are hot-eyed, and even the distance is very fair, as long as you go to the battlefield and cut off your head, you will be credited with merit, without any discount...... "A Jingnan army on duty at the head of the city was promoted at the beginning of the year and was promoted, and said very enviously.

"Alas...... Isn't it? Last winter, I fought by the water, but I beheaded the Xia Sui army in battle, but the result was that everyone suffered defeat, and our military merits were not settled, but who can I find to lead it, I really want to pick a son to go home to see the baby! The deputy of the team also echoed helplessly.

"Whew...... That Wang Dashuai is here! The soldier next to him hurriedly reminded him, and the two officers hurriedly walked away as if nothing happened, and each returned to his post and looked out of the city with wide eyes.

Wang Yanchao's defeat at Anleshui was actually a bit unjust, he had just arrived in Kansai to sign the Yongxing Military Government, but he moved to Pizhou in less than half a year after taking office, and went to the battlefield in two or three months.

The night outside was dark, and the torches lit at the head of the city affected the sight, Wang Yanchao walked to the dark place and looked into the distance, and couldn't help but be surprised, only to see a lot of torches lit in the field south of the city, and a few huge bonfires illuminated the construction site.

Zhang Yue's soldiers are working in an orderly manner, each doing their own thing, and they are busy, the outer camp fence has been erected in rows, and now they are building a two- or three-zhang high gate frame, and the craftsmen on the other side have also finished the wooden door and are waiting for testing and installation.

The tens of thousands of soldiers who were originally waiting in formation, covering a large area, could not be seen, but at this time, they actually walked around with torches, and the sound of footsteps crackled into a piece, which was more than the trampling of horses' hooves. It is a large area of walking back and forth, after all, on this cold day, people will really freeze when they stand still in the wild.

"Fuck! Is this a night training exercise? To be able to train soldiers to this level is really not to be underestimated! Wang Yanchao muttered in a low voice, and admired it very much in his heart, but he was also a veteran of the Four Dynasties, although he was only in his forties, he would not show it on his face.

After the erection of the camp fence was completed, the soldiers who surrounded the fence and erected the camp tent together with the engineering troops gave priority to live in the camp, and then the peripheral baggage soldiers carried grain and grass equipment into the camp for storage, and finally the tens of thousands of people who watched the excitement and froze into dogs, slowly drove into the camp like dough pulled into a line, and when they arrived at the gate, the staff officers responsible for the arrangements reported the barracks where the armies were located, and then went under the leadership of officers at all levels.

Wang Yanchao kept watching, and he found that in just a while, tens of thousands of people entered the camp, and then the camp fence was heavily guarded, and the patrols inside and outside the camp walked back and forth, and the light and dark sentinels were in place.

"What a strong soldier! No wonder every battle is fought with less, and the battle is resolved quickly, even Li Chongjin and other royal relatives are not in their eyes, they are confident......" Wang Yanchao muttered, his mood was a little complicated, he had already expected that this battle would be thankless, and there would be nothing to do without him.

At noon the next day, Shi Yanchao, who was stationed at the northern foot of Qinggangling to transport grain and grass, and Yanzhou Zhangwu Army Yajun both commanded Dong Chenguang to come to meet after receiving a notice, and Zhang Yue held a military meeting and ordered Dong Chenguang to return to Qinggangling to continue transporting grain and grass.

Shi Yanchao and Yan Chengwang were ordered to be the commanders of the forward and deputy capitals, Zhang Zhixing and Fu Zhaoji were the main and deputy capitals, and the forbidden army headquarters and the Zhenyuan army were combined together, temporarily arranged as 12,000 cavalry, and the troops were dispatched on the 25th to capture the camel mouth.

The main force of 40,000 elites followed up and took Yanzhou Wuyuan. As for Shuofang, Jingnan, Changyi and other friendly forces, they can only wait for Li Guangyan's troops to be solved before they can free up their hands to come in handy.
