Generally speaking, the ancient army's ability to bear casualties was relatively low, and in field battles, the general casualties exceeded 20 percent, and the army's morale would be shaken, and after 30 percent, it would collapse into an army.

Of course, there are special cases, such as the Yuejia army and others in history, which are said to be able to maintain a high casualty rate in the field without collapsing, but these are all special circumstances, and the history is too far away to obtain convincing specific evidence, and most of them are rumors.

So generally speaking, the casualty tolerance of the ancient army was very low, and there were also cases where high casualties did not retreat, and there were quite a few, but this situation did not occur in field battles, but more often in siege warfare!

In siege warfare, once the besieging side initiates a siege battle, it usually outnumbers the defending side by far outnumbering the defending side, or has an overall advantage over the defending side.

In this case, after the siege force launches an attack, if it is ruthless enough, arrange a large number of supervision teams behind the attacking force, and once the troops fail to attack the city, retreating is often death.

Siege warfare is not like field warfare, the attack surface is wide, the officers and soldiers of the troops have enough space to escape, and the guide zhì supervision team cannot fully grasp it, on the contrary, because there is a city in the siege war, the attack surface cannot be too wide, and the space for maneuver is small, so when the besieging side occupies the numerical advantage, it is often difficult for the besieging troops to escape.

At this time, if there is a team of warlords and the commander is a ruthless man, then retreating is really not much better than attacking. In this way, with the support of fear, and some incentives such as the destruction of the city, the siege force can even pay 50% of the casualties before retreating.

However, there are very few commanders who are willing to do this, because it will cost a lot of casualties, and ordinary commanders will not do this unless they have to.

The same is true for the defenders, who usually have no way back and refuse to surrender. In order to save their lives, they often burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and the situation of fighting to the last person is not enough, but the casualties are more than 60% and they still fight to the death, which is also common in ancient times.

In other words, the combat capability of the ancient army, or the casualty bearing rate, mainly depends on the will and skill of the commander, if the commander's will is strong enough, and there is a sufficient effective way to drive his soldiers to die. Then you can fight a tragic battle.

If Seng Lingqin wants to say that he is brave enough, he is brave enough, but in terms of willpower, he is actually cowardly in his heart, and toughness is just an appearance; And his command skills are also insufficient, he has not read many military books at all, and he does not have the ability to command a large army, let alone let the non-descendant troops work for him.

In fact, in such a large-scale siege battle, Monk Greenqin himself has no good methods. He can only use the most primitive ant attachment to attack the city, and he has no clue about the specific siege strategy, but he is the commander, and it doesn't matter if he can't do it. You can choose a person to be the siege vanguard officer in the past, and he will be fully responsible for the specific arrangements for the siege operation, and he will sit in the rear, which is called unified dispatch. It's actually just waiting.

The reason why the battle of Huai'an was fought so fiercely was that the problem was with this siege pioneer officer, because this person was appointed by Seng Lingqin as the siege pioneer officer. It's Yuan Jiasan!

The reason why Yuan Jiasan was appointed as the vanguard officer, on the surface, was because Yuan Jiasan was the governor of Caoyun and was very clear about the situation in Huai'an City, but the main reason was that Yuan Jiasan kept taking the initiative to ask for help, and it showed that he led the troops and horses of his headquarters to fight the vanguard.

Yuan Jiasan was appointed as the governor of Caoyun as early as April 1859, and at first he only supervised Caoyun, but later Shengbao returned to Ding Wei because of his mother's illness, giving him a chance to soar.

Because Shengbao's main task at that time was to exterminate the Twist Army, once he returned to Ding Wei, this position was vacant, and there was no one to lead the army, so the imperial court promoted Yuan Jiasan to be the minister of the Qincha, and supervised the military affairs as the actual governor of Caoyun, commanded the green battalion troops retained by Sheng, and continued to carry out the great cause of suppressing the twist.

Yuan Jiasan also has some talents, after supervising military affairs, he marched into Anhui, fought even a victory, and always beat Fengyang down, so that the Twist Army was slumped, but because of this, when the Taiping Army suddenly besieged Huai'an, he was not in Huai'an, but in Dingyuan County, which was encircled and suppressed by the Twist Army, and when he got the news and was ready to return to the army for rescue, he was besieged by Zhang Lexing and most of Wu Ruxiao's Twist Army, and he couldn't get out.

After that, when the Jingwu army occupied Huai'an and intercepted Caoyin, he had just escaped and returned to Fengyang, so it was said that the matter of intercepting Caoyin had nothing to do with him.

However, after all, he is the governor of Caoyun, and Huai'an is also his place of governance, and if Caoyun is not supervised well, he must be responsible! For example, people will say, why didn't you send Caoyin to Beijing earlier? Why did you stay for so long, is it selfish?

In addition, although Yuan Jiasan is also considered to be a good soldier, with 50,000 soldiers and horses under his hands, his situation is still different from that of Zeng Guofan and others, half of his troops are the imperial court officers and soldiers retained by Chu Sheng, and the other half are the surrendered regimental training army and the surrendered army of the twisted army, such as Miao Peilin and others.

Moreover, Yuan Jiasan's grain and grass were almost completely controlled by the imperial court, and he did not have a stable territory, or in other words, although Fengyang was his territory, this place was too poor to support an army of 50,000, so his grain and grass were subject to the imperial court's appropriation, which was completely different from the self-contained self-sufficiency of the Hunan army and the Jingwu army.

It's not that Yuan Jiasan doesn't want to, it's really limited by conditions, and the time is too tight. The places he mainly attacked were the poorest places in Anhui, and he had been dealing with the Twist Army, so he had no time to consolidate his territory and prepare money and food.

It is precisely because Yuan Jiasan does not have a real descendant army, and he has no real power to employ people and raise salaries, whether it is soldiers or horses or money and food, he is limited by the Qing court, so he attaches great importance to the attitude of the Qing court and is particularly cautious in dealing with people, such as his eldest son Yuan Baoheng is obviously brave in battle, but in order to appease his subordinates, he is always not allowed to compete with others.

For example, now, the reason why he hurriedly came to Seng Lingqin to help in the war, and even ignored Fengyang, the old nest he worked so hard to manage, was to make meritorious service for his crimes, so that the Qing court could re-realize his ability of Yuan Jiasan, and not remove him from his official position.

Because he knows very well that, at least so far, once he loses the trust of the Qing court, then all the qiē he has worked so hard to fight before will be like a mirror.

So this time, he had the heaviest thoughts on attacking Huai'an, and he had already made up his mind. It is necessary to compete for the first merit at any cost, so that the Qing court can realize his ability and let the court reuse him, so this time he is the most attentive to the errand of attacking Huai'an City, and he keeps recommending himself to Monk Greenqin, and Monk Greenqin also pushes the boat down the river and lets him take the lead.

Since the siege order was issued, Yuan Jiasan was still in charge, so Yuan Jiasan hurriedly raised the account. But before he officially raised his account, he first called his two sons to his side.

After seeing the two sons come in, Yuan Jiasan nodded slightly, and then said solemnly: "Xiaowu (the character of Yuan Jiasan's eldest son Yuan Baoheng), Duchen (the character of Yuan Jia's third son Yuan Baoqing), my father called you this time, do you know what is going on?" ”

Yuan Baoheng and Yuan Baoqing glanced at each other, and then Yuan Baoheng, who was the eldest son, hugged his fists and said, "Father, is it for the attack on Huai'an City?" ”

"Exactly." Yuan Jiasan nodded. "Lord Seng Lingqin has appointed me as the vanguard commander of the siege, with full authority to oversee the siege affairs, and the siege will be carried out soon."

"Congratulations to my father!" Yuan Baoheng immediately hugged his fists and said, "Erchen will definitely fight bravely." Share your father's worries. ”

Yuan Jiasan didn't reply, but just looked at his second son Yuan Baoqing: "Duchen, what do you think?" ”

"Back to my father's words." Yuan Baoqing paused, "Do you mean to let us preserve our strength?" ”

"It's right and it's not right." Yuan Jiasan smiled and shook his head. After looking at the eldest son and the second son, he continued, "Do you know why my father is desperately fighting for this thankless pioneer this time? ”

"This ......" This time, even Yuan Baoheng reacted. Knowing that the other party didn't really ask for his opinion, but wanted to talk to himself, he immediately said, "The son is stupid, and I ask my father to make it clear." ”

"I'm for our Yuan family." Yuan Jiasan sighed, "Whether it was the original Huai'an City besieged by bandits, or later by the Jingwu Army, oh, it was occupied by the Short-haired Army and intercepted Caoyin, although my father was outside at the time, this layer of involvement is inseparable." And the Qing court suffered such a big loss, and the emperor was still frizzy to force the short hair to rebel, and it would definitely not work if he didn't find a scapegoat to vent his anger afterwards. Looking for it, who can you find to be angry? Naturally, it's me. ”

After a pause, Yuan Jiasan continued: "The reason why my Yuan family can have the current Yiqiē is inseparable from the favor of the imperial court, once the imperial court now orders my dismissal and investigation, then the qiē that we worked hard before will come to naught, and according to this situation, it will be difficult for us to have a chance to recover in the future."

Therefore, this attack on Huai'an City is an opportunity, an opportunity to prove yourself to the imperial court again! As long as we fight this battle well, even if we can't defeat Huai'an City, as long as we express our determination, make an attitude, and let the court see it, it will be a success! Therefore, it doesn't matter whether we can defeat Huai'an, the important thing is that we must do our best, even if it is bloody, we will not hesitate to do it, what I said, can you understand? ”

"Understood." Yuan Baoheng said, "What my father meant, is that this time we have to fight for the old book, even if we are all exhausted, as long as the court sees our determination to dare to fight, and thinks that we are loyal enough and useful, even if it is successful?" ”

"That's right." Yuan Jiasan nodded to his eldest son with relief, "However, even if you are desperate, you can't fight hard." In this battle, I decided to let you and Duchen lead the new army we recruited in Fengyang, and then cooperate with the soldiers and horses of Gushan (Ma Xinyi) to be the supervising team, let Yusan (Miao Peilin)'s troops take the lead first, and then let others fight when Yusan's troops are exhausted. In the end, as long as your new army of 5,000 people is fine, our Yuan family will be fine, and we will have the strength to make a comeback. ”

"This, Father." Yuan Baoheng suddenly said, "Miao Peilin is not a master who is willing to suffer, is he willing to take the lead?" ”

"If you don't want to, you can't help it." Yuan Jiasan smiled coldly, "Miao Peilin is a repeated, wolf ambition, and can't stay." There was no way before, after all, his soldiers and horses were still useful, but now, I can't take care of it. I have already asked for a cavalry of 3,000 men from Monk Greenqin, and this cavalry will also cooperate with you as a warlord. Now that the army is gathered, even if Miao Peilin is not happy, he has to do it, and when the time comes, he will use this Huai'an City to consume Miao Peilin's soldiers and horses. ”

"Well, Father." Yuan Baoheng suddenly asked, "Huai'an is a big city, is it only us who is attacking the city?" No one else? It's not that I said, it's up to us people, it's not enough to see it. ”

"Absolutely." Yuan Jia said, "In this attack, I am the vanguard official presidential system. In addition to our headquarters soldiers and horses, there are also Zheng Kuishi's soldiers and horses, Duolun'a's soldiers and horses, and Kuiyu's soldiers and horses. But they don't work with us, they are each in charge of a door. We mainly attacked the west gate, Zheng Kuishi attacked the south gate, Duolun A and Kuiyu attacked the north, leaving the east gate for Shorthair. In addition, the previous siege equipment, such as those ladders, will also be used by us, and the firearms battalion will also fire artillery to help in the battle. Well, anything else to ask? ”

"In this way, we have more than 100,000 soldiers." Yuan Baoheng nodded, "If you are willing to die, you may not be able to capture Huai'an City." However, is it really necessary to use the tactic of ant-attached siege? Actually, it's not bad to dig tunnels. ”

"It's too slow, and it's not tragic enough." Yuan Jiasan shook his head, "We just want to play a tragic momentum, just to show others." Show it to the court. Therefore, you treat the new army as a warlord, and let it go to fight and kill, any officers and soldiers who retreat. Whoever it is, kill me! In short, as long as we fight resolutely enough, as long as your new army can be saved, no matter how many people we kill. Whether we can take Huai'an City or not, a qiē is not a problem! ”

After the internal discussion is completed, the military discussion later will naturally be different. At that time, Yuan Jiasan turned into a heroic emperor, full of impassionedness, and forced other generals to issue military orders, in short, he looked like he would not give up if he did not take Huai'an.

Indeed, as Yuan Jiasan said, everyone else was not very happy to fight siege warfare, especially Miao Peilin, but at this time, the army was gathered, and they had no chance to rebel at all, so they could only grit their teeth and obey orders.

In this way, two days later, the Qing army gathered large soldiers, and Miao Peilin's 30,000 troops were all dressed up, holding brand-new weapons, wearing brand-new clothes, eating freshly steamed rice, and waiting for the third day of the strong attack!

"The chief master." Wang Jinkui, the general of the Miao Army, took advantage of the time to eat, and said to Miao Peilin prettyly, "The old boy surnamed Yuan is uneasy and kind, let us take the lead, this is to kill us." ”

"Can I not know?" Miao Peilin glanced at him, "But it's too late to say these things now, didn't you look at the cavalry and firearms battalion behind?" Believe it or not, if we don't work hard, these people will definitely be poisoned! ”

"What then?" Wang Jinkui hurriedly said, "You can't really let the brothers die, right?" Look at the city defense of Huai'an City, it is a big city, and the elite army is not easy to mess with, let's go here to die. ”

"Let's take a look." Miao Peilin frowned, "You first put our own cronies and brothers at the end, put those who are not very obedient on weekdays to the front, and then fight first, and wait for some people to die, it must be enough." ”

"How much do you have to die?"

"Hey, if you don't die one or two thousand, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it this time." Miao Peilin sighed, "Hmph, after this experience, we will settle the account with him in the future." ”

"This, okay." Wang Jinkui gritted his teeth and said, "I understand!" Hmph, surnamed Yuan, Lao Tzu will not let him go sooner or later! ”

……

In fact, as early as when the Qing army's various camps began to stir, Wang Sanwu got the news, and he also judged that the other party couldn't help it and was about to start attacking the city.

"Hmph, I finally can't help it!" Wang Sanwu, who was carefully observing with a telescope at the head of the city, grinned, "Come on, come on, the more you come, the better, let this Huai'an City become your grave!" ”

After speaking, Wang Sanwu put down the binoculars and said to the chief of staff beside him: "Order the whole army to strengthen its vigilance, recruit another 30,000 people for backup, and tell them that there will be a big war in the near future, let them all give me spiritual points!" ”

"Yes, Master." The chief of staff nodded, "However, do you want to call the marshal for help?" Seeing the situation of the Qing army, it is estimated that the movement is not small, in case it ......"

"No whatever!" Wang Sanwu waved his hand, "Don't rush to ask for help now, otherwise, what if the other party just shook a shot and didn't come to attack us at all?" It's better to wait for the other party to really call. Moreover, if you don't ask for help, it also depends on the strength of their attack, if it is a painless harassment, then there is no need to pay attention to it, we will deal with it ourselves, if it is really a big fight, it is not too late to report it at that time. ”

"Understood." The chief of staff saluted, "Let's do it!" ”

Waiting for his chief of staff to leave, Wang Sanwu continued to pick up the telescope and observe carefully, and kept chanting: "Come on, come on, come on, make contributions, just now!" ”

……

And so it was, on the third day. The Qing army finally went out in a big way and began the real siege operation!

On the first day of the siege, the sky was cloudless, and the vanguard army Miao Peilin who attacked the West Gate also recuperated early, and assembled and stood by in a place where there was still a mile away from the moat.

Then, a large number of ragged men suddenly ran out behind the Miao army, and they were forced by the Qing army behind them, either carrying large wooden shields covering quilts, or carrying sandbags, or holding shovels. With a shout, he hurried towards the moat.

At first glance, these people are forcibly brought in, and their role is to fill in the moat first, otherwise they will not be able to get close to Huai'an City at all.

There are so many of these people that there are at least 20,000 people here at the West Gate alone.

And when these people from the west gate began to fill the river with sandbags, a large number of people also poured out from the south gate and the north gate. They took the same things as the people outside the West Gate, to fill in the moat and pave the way for the army.

Three gates, a total of more than 60,000 people. If left unattended, they will soon fill the moat, but if they want to hit them, let's not talk about the unbearable problem. Ammunition consumption alone is not a small amount.

"Despicable!" Seeing this situation, Wang Sanwu at the head of the city smashed the head of the city with his fist, "I actually hit the head with the common people." Qing Demon is really dead! I really don't treat us Han people as human beings! ”

"Commander, what now?" The chief of staff beside him immediately said urgently, "You can't watch like this, if it goes on like this, the moat will be filled sooner or later." Do you want to shoot? ”

"Not necessarily!" Wang Sanwu put down the binoculars and squinted again, "Look at their appearance, this scale is not small, the cannonballs should be spared, and the rifles should not be fired." In this way, don't we still have a lot of guns and earth cannons? Aren't there still a lot of bows and arrows? Use those! Our elite infantry regiment will not move first, let the militia do it first.

By the way, then Feng Zi has only defected to us for a few days, and even the marshal has a good eye for him, this time let him let him do it, and let his soldiers and horses be responsible for the defense of this West Gate, I want to see if he is as majestic as the marshal said! ”

"Is this appropriate?" The chief of staff paused, "Feng Zicai was the original Huai'an defender, although he later listened to the persuasion and defected to us, but after all, it was the Qing army who surrendered, and his loyalty still needs to be tested, if he really lets him let go of the command of the West Gate, in case he opens the city gate......"

"Don't worry, the city gate is in the hands of our Jingwu Army, and his soldiers and horses can't get close at all, not to mention that there are not only Feng Zicai's troops here, but also the militia troops of our Jingwu Army, if he dares to mess around, there will definitely be no good end." Wang Sanwu said, "This time we should give him a chance to see if he really takes refuge in us, if so, it's easy to say, if not, he will not be spared!" When the time comes, the big handsome won't be able to say anything about me. ”

"Then what if he listens to orders at first, and then fights back when we fight fiercely with the Qing army?" The chief of staff said again.

"Huai'an City is not only a city wall of the outer city." Wang Sanwu said lightly, "It seems that Qinggou is really here, judging from their momentum, this siege will not be too small." Therefore, just in case, I will retreat the main force of our elite army to the inner city, and the defense of the outer city will be handed over to the militia. ”

"Is that appropriate?" The chief of staff asked.

"Why isn't it appropriate?" Wang Sanwu smiled, "Huai'an City is too big, but the main force of our Jingwu Army has only one infantry regiment, even if you add the thousand people in the cavalry regiment, it will not exceed five thousand." In this case, if the main force of our elite army is scattered on the walls of various outer cities, it will not have much effect at all, but if we enter the smaller inner cities, we can concentrate our forces and give full play to our firepower superiority. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Sanwu pointed to the inner city behind him: "You see, after we retreat all the main forces to the inner city, with the range of our rifles, the entire outer city and even the outer city are within our fire control range. In addition, our artillery is a curved artillery, and when the time comes, we can hit wherever we want. And once the Qing army enters the city, the scope of movement will be smaller, the density of troops will become larger, and in the face of our firepower, it can only be more casualties, understand? ”

"Yes, understood, I'll give the order!" As soon as the chief of staff saluted, he immediately picked up the microphone and began to issue orders, "Hey, the communications office, I am the chief of staff Situ He, let General Feng come over immediately!" Yes, right away! ”

After a while, a pinch of goatee remained. Feng Zicai, who had a bald head on his head, strode over, and when he came to Wang Sanwu, he did not salute the new-style military salute of the Jingwu Army, but continued to clasp his hands into fists, knelt on one knee, and came with an old-style military salute: "The last general, Feng Zicai, knock to see the master!" ”

"General Feng, please get up." Wang Sanwu raised his hand in a vain move.

"Thank you, sir!" Feng Zicai got up at this time, and then lowered his head and stood aside, looking down and obeying orders.

If you want to talk about this Feng Zicai, the experience can be regarded as bumpy. The reason why he was able to join the Jingwu Army was also a coincidence.

Originally, Feng Zicai belonged to Guangyong and obeyed orders in the Jiangnan camp in Hechun, but later Li Xiucheng broke through the Jiangnan camp, and the troops were scattered, Feng Zicai had no choice but to gather nearly 10,000 defeated troops and retreated to Zhenjiang.

At that time, Li Xiucheng was mainly staring at Danyang and Changzhou, and he didn't have time to deal with him, so Feng Zicai was very leisurely in Zhenjiang. But later, Li Xiucheng was defeated by the Jingwu army under the city of Suzhou, and after retreating to Changzhou to recuperate, his good days slowly came to an end.

At that time, Li Xiucheng was indeed weak, but because of Li Yongji's deliberate release of water. Coupled with the funding of the foreigners, Li Xiucheng's soldiers and horses replied quickly, and it didn't take long for the Northern Expedition to be launched with the help of the foreigners.

With the help of foreigners, Li Xiucheng's new army quickly broke through Nantong and Zhenjiang. Feng Zicai, who was guarding Zhenjiang, could not stop the artillery fire of the foreign warships and had to retreat north.

After that, Feng Zicai led his troops to flee all the way. ran all the way to Huai'an and returned to the Huai'an defenders, but it didn't take long for the Taiping army and the foreigners to fight again, but this time, because of the lack of naval artillery bombardment, he regained his prestige and kept the Taiping army and the foreigners' troops under the city of Huai'an.

But it didn't take long for the Taiping army and the foreigners to be killed by the Jingwu army, and after that, Huai'an City fell under the control of the Jingwu army, and Feng Zicai and other original garrison soldiers and horses were also under the control of the Jingwu army and Wang Sanwu.

Later, when the Jingwu Army intercepted Caoyin, Feng Zicai and his troops were put under the guard of weapons, and after the imperial court and the Jingwu Army completely turned their faces, his troops were directly imprisoned.

However, thanks to his name, when Li Yongji knew Feng Zicai's name, he ordered Wang Sanwu to treat him well and surrender him, but Wang Sanwu didn't go out in person, so he sent someone to ask if he was willing to surrender.

Unexpectedly, Feng Zicai said very simply, I am willing to surrender.

In this way, Feng Zicai surrendered to the Jingwu Army, and cut off his braids more simply, not only him, but his more than 10,000 people and horses also cut off their braids together, handed in the name of the vote, and voted for the Jingwu Army.

Speaking of which, more than 10,000 people were also the rout of the Jiangnan battalion that Feng Zicai had collected at the beginning, and Feng Zicai took them all the way from Zhenjiang to Huai'an, and there was no big loss, which can be regarded as a skill.

Although Feng Zicai defected to the Jingwu Army, Wang Sanwu was not very interested in him, and he still didn't trust him very much, so he just gave them cold weapons, and only did some auxiliary work, and didn't give them really important work.

As for now, Wang Sanwu plans to let him guard the West Gate, not so much to test his loyalty, but to hope that the other party is really ill-intentioned and pretend to surrender, and then let the Qing army enter the city.

Because in this way, he can justifiably only defend the inner city and give full play to the firepower advantage of the elite army, but if this is the case, the people between the inner and outer cities will suffer, so he himself cannot take the initiative to give up the outer city.

I don't give up, but if it's a betrayal, it will be different if the city gate is opened by a traitor, and Wang Sanwu used to clean Huai'an City too hard, looking for his subordinates, it seems that only Feng Zicai is not very reliable, what else is it, anyway, Wang Sanwu doesn't believe that they will betray the Jingwu Army.

Thinking of this, Wang Sanwu said in a solemn tone: "General Feng, the military situation is urgent, I won't say more, in short, I plan to withdraw the main force of the Jingwu Army to the inner city, concentrate forces, and give full play to our firepower advantage, as for the west gate of this outer city, I will give you full authority to defend, I don't know if you are willing or not?" ”

"This?" Feng Zicai was stunned for a moment, and then he clenched his fists and said loudly, "The last general will take orders!" ”

"Good!" Wang Sanwu nodded, "Your original troops, as well as the original militia units here, are all under your unified dispatch." The weapons here, including bows, arrows, spears, guns, and cannons, are all yours, and I will leave you a radio telephone for easy coordination, and if you can't hold on, you can call in our artillery support. Well, that's all for now, what else are the requirements? Say it together, as long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you. ”

"Can you give me some grenadiers for you?" Feng Zicai said, "As for the musket, we don't usually use it, and we can't use it well if you give it to us, but that kind of grenadier can be used as a small cannon, which is especially effective for defending the city." Even if we don't give us grenadiers, we can throw some cannonballs with grenadiers, we can throw them with our hands. ”

"With your hands still? That's not possible, the ammunition of our grenadiers is different from elsewhere, it is not a simple ignition. Wang Sanwu smiled, "In this case, I will leave you a hundred grenadiers, two thousand projectiles, and at the same time leave you ten grenadier instructors to teach your people how to use grenadiers."

The grenadier is actually very easy to learn, and if you don't pursue accuracy, it is quite simple to master the firing process, and in my opinion, the most important thing is how to launch safely.

Well, what do you think of my arrangement? ”

"That's for the best." Feng Zicai nodded, "Then now this place is under my control?" ”

"Yes, it's up to you, but you'll have to wait until I'm gone." Wang Sanwu smiled, then took down his telescope, and at the same time dragged down the stab-proof vest on his body, and then sent them to Feng Zicai's hands together, "These two things are also for you." ”

"Huh? This, Master Teacher, this can't be helped! Feng Zicai hurriedly excused himself.

"What's the deal?" Wang Sanwu said with a smile, "You are already a senior commander, and it is normal to have a telescope, as for the stab-proof vest, you have to be on the front line, it is more suitable than me to wear, so don't shirk it." In addition, I have left you a thousand riot shields and a thousand explosion-proof helmets, which you must use for yourself.

Okay, that's it for the time being, my Jingwu army has never looked at ability, not background, so I hope you can do it yourself. ”

"Thank you, Lord for the reward!" Feng Zicai half-knelt on the ground again and saluted with his fists, "I, Feng Zicai, must be full of liver and brains, and swear to defend this section of the city wall, and I will live up to the grace of the adult's reconstruction!" (To be continued......)
