Zheng Bao took advantage of the princes of the late Han Dynasty to compete for hegemony and the chaos in the world, organized a group of thieves to run rampant between the Jianghuai River, and only bullied the good people on weekdays, like Yuan Shu, Liu Xun and others did not dare to provoke.

The reason why he dared to fight Hefei was that he heard that there were fewer defenders in Longxiang, and second, he knew that the city of Hefei was rotten and could not withstand the strong attack and rush, but he kicked the iron plate.

The city wall of Hefei has not only been reinforced, but the defenders are also like tigers and wolves. I really can't beat it, so I can only join in order to survive.

Long Xiang and others ended their pursuit, and finally defeated and subdued the remnants of Zheng Bao with less than 2,000 defenders. Zheng Bao was knocked down by a high-altitude projectile, and retreated in panic surrounded by thieves.

It's a pity that there was chaos on the way, and Zheng Bao, who was seriously injured and unconscious, was thrown to the ground, and later trampled on the horse, and found that the body was no longer human.

His nephew Zheng Hu, who led the death, with a bright and eye-catching helmet on his head, was locked by Xu Chu, who was chasing him out of the city, and ended up in a different place.

The battle lasted less than half a day, and the seven or eight thousand thieves brought by Zheng Bao, except for more than 2,000 who were killed or seriously injured, all the rest were absorbed by Long Xiang.

The battle to defend the city is more and more, and it has doubled, and I can't believe it, but Long Xiang did it.

It's like a mock exam with a total score of 100, but the result is inexplicably 300 points, because the person who wrote the question was merged by him.

Long Xiang led the army back the same way, and Lu Su was already waiting under the city tower.

"Yunqi, congratulations, not only beheaded Zheng Bao to eliminate harm, but also incorporated his subordinates, no one will dare to despise Hefei in the future."

"Co-optation is co-optation, but the combat effectiveness of these people... Ay... Don't dare to compliment..."Long Xiang shook his head bitterly, and said in his heart I still like Xu Chu's elite soldiers, and it is estimated that it is useless to receive such a wine bag and rice bag.

Lu Su said with a smile: "The key to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers depends on whether the generals will be able to practice, if General Xu is allowed to train the troops, there will definitely be earth-shaking changes." ”

"What Zijing said is that the soldiers are beary, and they will be in a nest, and they have to be reorganized." Long Xiang nodded in agreement.

Feng Zhong, who was standing next to Lu Su, was the first to stand up and ask for someone after hearing this.

"Yunqi, when you are in formation, remember to consider the craftsman battalion, after today's battle, the southern city wall has to be repaired and reinforced, and my thousand-strong team is not enough."

"Uncle Zhong can really see the stitches, but don't worry, suddenly there are so many more soldiers, and each of you has to put a burden on your shoulders." When Long Xiang spoke, he looked at Lu Su meaningfully, as if to say that you also have a share.

Lu Su instantly understood, he considered that he would leave in three years, and hurriedly euphemistically excused himself: "Yunqi doesn't need to think about me, Hefei is busy enough with government affairs now, I really don't have the strength to lead the troops, General Feng was right just now, Zheng Bao's troops are uneven, just allocate more to the craftsman battalion..."

"On my side, the master builds and assists in defending the city, but I don't pick the strength of the soldiers, Yunqi can let the rest choose first, and leave the rest to Uncle Zhong." Feng Zhong clenched his fists and agreed.

"That's what I thought too," Long Xiang replied with a smile. In order to ensure the control of the pawns, Long Xiang ordered the pawns to gather at the south gate, and he had to distribute and marshal them as soon as possible.

m Zheng Bao's 5,300 soldiers were divided into five parts by Long Xiang on the spot, of which Xu Ding and Tang Yu each led 1,000 people, Xu Chu led 600 people, Cao Xing took 400 people, and all the rest were assigned to Feng Zhong.

In order to facilitate the expansion and management of each battalion, Long Xiang named and distinguished the generals and armies under his command, that is, 3,300 people under Feng Zhong's department were the craftsman battalion, 1,600 people under Xu Chu's department were the Huwei battalion, 1,300 people under Tang Yu's department were the right battalion of the city defense, 1,200 people under the Xu Ding department were the left battalion of the city defense, and 430 people from Cao Xing's department were cavalry battalions.

The establishment of the army at the end of the Han Dynasty was

The binary system of the "quasi-square system", the most basic detachment unit is

"Fire", the head of the fire has jurisdiction over 10 people, the team leader has jurisdiction over 50 people, the commander has jurisdiction over 100 people, the Quhou has jurisdiction over 200 people, the military Sima has jurisdiction over 400 people, the school captain has jurisdiction over 800 people, the general has jurisdiction over 1,600 people, and the number general has jurisdiction over 3,200 people.

Although the upper limit of an army is 3,200 people, it can be flexibly handled in practice, and theoretically other departments can be added infinitely.

At this time, Long Xiang led the army Sima, nominally only able to command 400 people, and the highest appointment could only be Quhou, so he took it upon himself to set the commander of the five battalions as the governor with a wide range of meanings, and was controlled by himself and the future 'Grand Governor' Lu Su.

The Tiger Guard Battalion, the City Defense Battalion, and the Cavalry Battalion were reintegrated, and the new entrants were refined into a whole through collective training at the first time, and the first task of the reintegrated craftsman battalion was arranged by Long Xiang himself.

Hefei defensive battle, flying stone more meritorious service. The stones and bricks of the city wall were thrown down in thousands, tens of thousands, and piled up into several small hills outside the south gate.

Worried about potential safety hazards, Long Xiang asked the craftsman battalion to collect all the treasures back to the city, and asked to dig a deep trench under the root of the inner wall for use.

Feng Zhong carried out the order unconditionally, but Lu Su did not understand. Lu Su pointed to the gravel and bricks and asked: "The flying stone is good for defense, but the range is still closer, the gravel has been collided with once, and the reuse size is already a lot smaller, I see that you make people pile up under the root of the wall, is there any other use?" Long Xiang pointed to the area to be dug with white ash and explained with a smile: "Wait until the trench under the root of the wall is dug and then bury these debris in it." ”

"Wouldn't that be too much?" Before Long Xiang finished speaking, Lu Su directly interrupted the conversation, and his expression was very surprised, and he said that the craftsman battalion has two thousand more people, and you can't blindly command in order to practice your skills.

The old city is renovated, the streets are leveled, the houses are repaired, the walls are reinforced, even if it is to take soil from outside the city, there is a lot of work to do, why should they be assigned to do useless work?

Lu Su mistakenly thought that because of the project, in fact, Long Xiang planned to strengthen the foundation, he pointed to the white line and explained: "Zijing listened to me, the trench under the courtyard wall was dug, the groove was sunk to the bottom with large stones, and then the collected gravel and bricks were used as aggregates, and finally poured with cement mortar, which is an extremely solid foundation." ”

"Sounds sturdy, but I don't know what the intention is to add a concrete foundation inside the walls?"

"Last year, Cao thieves poured water into Pi, and I heard that many city walls were soaked and damaged, and now I use rubble and concrete as the foundation, and then build a few layers of brick walls on it, so that I am no longer afraid of water attacks."

"Hiss..." Lu Su gasped after hearing this, and said in his heart that the amount of work was so amazing, I don't know how much cement and bricks would be consumed.

He admonished: "Not to mention how many bricks are used to lay the city wall, the cement used for the foundation of the siege of the city is also amazing, and now there are thousands of soldiers in Hefei, so you can't always live in simple tents, right?" Although it is a good thing that you are taking precautions, but at this time, the city wall of Hefei is enough, and there is no point in over-reinforcing it..."Long Xiang saw that Lu Su was serious, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Zijing, don't worry, I don't plan to do it overnight, the reinforced foundation is done one by one, and the ready-made bricks and gravel are used first, as for adding brick walls inside the city wall, it is only part of the plan, and it will be arranged when there are many people in the future." ”
