Chapter 054: The Desire of the People (Part II)

The next day, Hu Wei gathered his three soldiers and nine captains in the big tent to discuss the matter of redeploying defenses......

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the past few days, I have inspected the defense of our army, and I feel that although the current deployment is good, it consumes too much manpower, which makes the soldiers' drills insufficient, so I want to make a slight modification, I don't know what you think?" said Hu Wei as he looked around at the generals under him.

Riquelme said: "Your Excellency must have made up his mind when he proposed this. I would also like to ask the captain to show me. ”

"Hmm. Hu Wei nodded: "Then let me start first." This plan may not be very mature, but please give more opinions after listening to it.

I have carefully studied the defense line of our army, and after preliminary calculations, I believe that it is enough to use a small detachment of 30 soldiers to deploy the defense, and there is no need for a detachment of 100 people.

I have observed soldiers, two posts a day, which is quite tiring for soldiers. If we switch to squad arming, we can divide into nine posts with nine squads. I plan to change the two posts to three posts, which will be rotated every two days, so that the soldiers will not only get enough rest, but also have more time for drills. I wonder what you think?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Owen stood up and said, "Lord Captain, I don't agree with you. I don't think a small squad of men and horses will be enough to deal with the enemy. ”

Hu Wei asked, "Oh, so how many people does Owen think is suitable?"

"This" Owen was asked by Hu Wei, and he couldn't answer for a while.

Hu Wei waved his hand, motioned for Owen to sit down, and continued: "Owen Dian's army's worries are justified, if there is really an enemy attacking, a small team of troops is indeed not enough to deal with it. Here, it's not that I'm talking about discouragement, in my opinion, let alone a small team, even if our entire column is full of 300 people, I don't think we will be able to resist the invading enemy. If anyone dares to say that he can defend this place with 300 men, then I will say that he is not a man, but a god. Because only God can do it. ”

What Hu Wei said is true, if An Rong really chooses to attack from here, then it is impossible to stop an army with only 300 people. The generals had no way to refute this.

"It seems that the Owen Army has a slight deviation in its understanding of our army's defense. In my opinion, the focus of our defense is not to stop the enemy, but to discover the enemy. Spotting the enemy and notifying the military headquarters as quickly as possible is our top priority. Therefore, it does not make much difference to send a squad or a detachment to be on duty.

Riquelme, what do you have to say?"

"Yes, Captain, I agree with you. However, I would like to remind you that in addition to discovering the enemy and notifying the military headquarters, we also have the responsibility to stop the enemy. If the enemy comes to attack, even if our military strength is insufficient, we must swear to stop the enemy to the death. ”

"I agree with you. That's why I'm adjusting my defenses. We were stationed here, and of course we couldn't see the enemy and run away. If anyone does this, not to mention that military law will punish us, even if it is us, we will no longer have the face to live in this world.

I have a simple defense map here, you can take a look at it first. ”

"Wait three!"

"Yes, Captain. Hou San had already received Hu Wei's orders, and as soon as he heard Hu Wei's order, he immediately hung a formation diagram on the board.

Hu Wei pointed to the picture and said, "Everyone, please take a look." This is the valley of Anrong, which is the focus of our defense.

I'm going to build five lookouts here, here, and here, and here, and I'm going to watch over Taniguchi.

In addition, I mention that in this area, traps are secretly dug and trapped, horse rejection pits, and foxholes."

"So many!" Merck said in surprise, and he felt a tingling sensation in his scalp when he saw the trap drawn by Hu Wei.

"Not much. Hu Wei glanced at everyone and said: "Every trap is a combat power, I can't wait to dig this piece into a lake!"

If An Rong can't come, that's fine, if they dare to come, let them taste the power of our three columns. ”

"After seeing the deployment of the captain, I really want to see what those Anrong people are like when they rush up, hahaha" The three captains and the nine captains all laughed.

Hu Wei laughed a few words with everyone, and said solemnly: "I don't want to see it one day."

Soldiers, national affairs, the way of survival, must be investigated, everyone!"

Hu Wei's new defense, well-organized and convincing, was unanimously agreed by all the generals. In fact, even if they disagreed, and Hu Wei wanted to force the way, they had no room for opposition. It's just that Hu Wei doesn't want to appear so dictatorial, so he uses a soft knife here.

Within two days, Hu Wei first ordered the officers and soldiers to eat together with the soldiers in a tough manner, and then first made new defense arrangements. One is soft and the other is hard, and initially in the army, he has established his own prestige. Now he is working on his next assignment - military training.

After the new defense was opened, Hu Wei immediately ordered the whole army to assemble. Taking the opportunity of the announcement of the new national defense, he took advantage of the situation to put forward a training plan that he had planned for a long time.

"Brothers, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less on the battlefield. Practicing the ability to kill the enemy is not for me, but for yourself! Only when you are promoted to an official position and get rich and marry a daughter-in-law can you live well if you have a life. ”

This was Hu Wei's only remonstrance after announcing the training plan, and many years later, it is still sung by veterans.

Hu Wei's training plan has a complete system of rewards and punishments. There are detailed requirements for every squad, every squad, every soldier.

In addition to ordinary training, Hu Wei will also organize confrontation exercises on a regular basis. With the squad as a unit, conduct drills and battles close to actual combat.

When the soldiers found out that the team that won the first place in the battle was rewarded with all-you-can-eat meat, the enthusiasm was really unstoppable. Fighting for meat became almost a slogan among the soldiers. As for where the meat comes from, that's not a matter of concern to the soldiers.

As the days passed, Hu Wei insisted on training with the soldiers every day in addition to completing his own training plan. He even competes in individual battles. Because his individual battles are all masked and carried out according to the shape of the number plate, there is no such thing as releasing water. Hu Wei himself was often beaten and his nose was swollen, but he got a lot of experience close to actual combat, and his skills improved quite quickly.

There is such a scene in it, which is most praised by the soldiers. That is, Hu Wei often pulls down his mask and smiles bitterly after being beaten with a blue nose and swollen face-this time there is no meat to eat.

When Hu Wei first did this, he almost fainted the soldier who beat him. But slowly, everyone got used to it. Hu Wei was not ridiculed by the soldiers for this, but was embraced by the soldiers. Many soldiers said to themselves in their hearts that when they go to war, they must protect the safety of Lord Hu Wei, even if it is at the risk of their own lives.
