Chapter 361: Military Discussion (3)
In the lead-gray sky, there were snow particles sprinkled downward, rustling among the pine forests on the Hidden Moon Peak.
Yinyue Peak is an irregular but very steep small peak, located in the northwest corner of the water mountain, about 2 kilometers away; The remains of a ruined watchtower loom east and south of the Hidden Moon Peak, and the foundations of two rammed earth walls loom in the dense pine forest.
This is the northwest watchtower of Yuanxing Palace.
A group of people stood at the foot of Ma Yinyue Peak, pointing at the remnants of the watchtower.
"Lord, don't worry about victory and defeat first, this is a common way in soldiers!"
Behind Chu Fan, Song Xiance rode on his big cyan mule, and said loudly, "Yuanyu this city, with a radius of 6 miles, is worthy of being the stronghold of my Liao army...... Although the city wall is lost, the city foundation is still there, and with a little repair, it can be called a golden city...... After the restoration of this city, a small village is built on both sides of its north and south, then I am in the east of Mingshui, Zhongda, Shixing, Chengshan everywhere can be described as a rock! ”
Chu Fan was dressed in a jade-colored brocade robe, his eyes kept wandering between the ruins and broken walls of the palace, and he couldn't help but think in his heart - to repair such a large city, there was no time to come, and there were enough people?
Today, all the relevant people have arrived, and the military conference has officially begun. As soon as he came up, Song Xiance proposed to rebuild the Yuan Xinggong as the main stronghold of the Fuliao army to defend against Korea.
His proposal was almost immediately approved by the majority of the people - in the idea of the people of this age, the city can give people a great sense of security; Occupying a fortified city is the most basic condition for resisting an attack.
In this regard, Chu Fan is unavoidable--he is very confident in the field combat ability of the Fuliao army!
The Korean army is nothing more than a larger number, and its mentality and tactics are still stuck in the era of feudal armies; Chu Fan believed that under the attack of the complete firepower system of the Fuliao army, the North Koreans would not perform better than those chaotic soldiers of Liu Zeqing in Ningyuan.
What he was more concerned about now was how to transfer back the first battalion of the Dengzhou pillar -- the first battalion left a company to guard the tobacco factory. The order for all the others to be transferred back to Jeju Island had been transmitted to Dengju through carrier pigeons a few days ago.
However, although it is unavoidable, Chu Fan will not disobey everyone's opinions - the current enemy, even if it is to stabilize people's hearts, it should be as good as a stream, and one more city will also facilitate the future development of Jeju Island, right?
So there was this field investigation, and after Hulala took dozens of people out of the Shuishan mansion, Chu Fan and them followed the ruins of the Yuanxing Palace and looked at it. Came to the foot of this Hidden Moon Peak.
In fact, the city wall of Yuanxing Palace has not been completely destroyed, especially the Chengtianmen in the south is still largely intact, and the nearby city wall is still there; The other three sides were worse, the west gate had just laid a foundation, the north gate was wiped out in the grass, and the east was the worst, and even the gate could not be found anywhere.
After turning around, Chen Shangren, who kept counting his fingers along the way, frowned, and was about to return to the Shuishan Mansion. The old man approached Chu Fan and said, "Yixian, I've calculated, this amount of work is indeed very large!" …… Not to mention the south gate, the east and west gates need to be built, and I am afraid it will take a lot of labor and materials...... There are only a few days left in this month, and we only have 4 months from December. There are no 10,000 people, but I'm afraid that the construction will not be completed! ”
Chu Fan believed that Ma Youyi let the snow lion find his way by himself, touched his chin and muttered for a long time. "It's urgent, not so regular...... For example, there are two gates in the east and west, and there is a rammed earth platform, and the gatehouse will be talked about later...... As for the city wall, it doesn't need to be built so wide, and it's almost the same as leaving 1 meter in the arrow path...... As for manpower. Hmmm......"
He was still groaning, and Song Xiance, who had been following closely beside him, smiled and said, "This matter is easy to hear!" …… This time we conquered Halla Mountain, plus Xu Da's side, we captured more than 200 people; Jingyi County captured more than 100 people in the first battle. Aren't these captives the best of labor? …… The mountain people remembered that the lord had ordered that on Jeju Island, Han Nu should never be seen again! But now there are still many big families who turn a blind eye to this, and the family is still serving as the son of my Han family...... When this great enemy is coming, these people who do not listen to orders should also sort out and sort out...... After sorting it out this time, wouldn't it add hundreds or thousands of prisoners? ”
As soon as Chu Fan heard it, he understood what the dwarf Dao man had in mind.
In addition to the extinct Liu family on Jeju Island, there are dozens of large families with herdsmen, many hundreds of households, and few dozens, among which there are descendants of the Song people like Zhao Songjie; After Chu Fan wiped out the Liu family, he sent a post to these big families in the name of the Liao Army, hoping that they would take the initiative to release the Han slaves and say that they could pay a certain amount of ransom for them.
But those big families have always regarded the Han slaves as their own property, and they will easily let go of them when they are idle, and the situation is unclear at that time, they are still pinning their hopes on the Korean royal court, and naturally they will not release the Han slaves.
During this period of time, except for a very small number of Han slaves who escaped, there was no big family that contacted the Liao Army to negotiate the redemption of Han slaves; And Chu Fan was also busy suppressing bandits in Halla Mountain, so he didn't care about taking care of this matter, so it was delayed.
Now that Song Xiance has brought up the old matter again, it is obvious that he wants to eliminate hidden dangers on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can also rescue the Han slaves and realize Chu Fan's original promise, and the most important thing is to alleviate the current situation of insufficient labor under Chen Shangren by conscripting and capturing prisoners.
Looking at Song Xiance's breezy and light-hearted face, Chu Fan couldn't help but laugh and scold in his heart, what a dwarf, the plan he came up with is really bad!
"The military advisor's plan is wonderful!"
Laughing and scolding in his heart, Chu Fan really praised him repeatedly, "The Han slaves are all my relatives who are related by blood, how can they still watch being enslaved by these Koreans!" …… Indeed, it should be taken care of before the arrival of the Korean army, so as not to become a punching bag for those big families...... It's just that after this military meeting, all battalions of the Fuliao Army are afraid that they will be busy with drills and preparations, where can they allocate their energy to do this? However, the regimental training camp in Jingyi County has just been expanded, and it is in need of such a low-intensity small-scale war, so please ask Zhu Dujian to worry about this matter! ”
Song Xiance was stunned at first, and then reacted immediately.
Chu Fan really used his power to the extreme-letting the regimental training battalion take the lead, not only pushed the notoriety of such extermination on the heads of the Koreans, but also put the Fuliao army in a transcendent position; Needless to say, if the regimental training battalion wins, in case there is any mistake, the initiative of the Fuliao army to adjust or destroy it is completely in their own hands.
"High! It's really high! Song Xiance couldn't help but stroke his palms and laughed, "The lord's arrangement is really leaky...... The regimental training camp is justified! ”
After speaking, he said as if he remembered something, "Speaking of the hidden dangers of cooking, the mountain people feel that there is still a place that needs to be cooked. ”
Chu Fan didn't know what he meant, and looked at him with interest.
Where else do you need to cook? (To be continued.) )
