Compared to Wang Er, who was still busy here, Wucheng had almost returned to calm by noon the next day after a night of cleaning and surrendering.

A large group of people was gathered in an open field to line up for registration.

"Tsk, let's be decisive, if this drags on, when this group of guys gradually figure out how to defend the city, it will be more difficult for us to gnaw this hard bone."

Looking at no less than four thousand captives, Zhang Kai couldn't help but be speechless.

I heard that there was also a regiment of troops, which means that there were 8,000 people left in the city yesterday.

If the 8,000 people were to be commanded by officers who were good at fighting defensive battles, they would indeed be choked if they wanted to gnaw Wucheng.

"Yes, we owe a lot to Zhang Li, but our firepower is also one thing.

But who was the officer who commanded the battlefield before, did he find out? ”

Zhao Ming asked, he was still curious about who the officer who reacted quickly before.

The other party can detect their touch at the first time, and launch a warning, and respond quickly to support many times, which is indeed remarkable.

In the ensuing street battle, the stubborn resistance of the other party also made the large army suffer, if it was not for the fall of other areas, it was still unknown to take Wucheng.

And the other party thinks that the position will not be too high, and it will not affect high-level decision-making, so that the overall front is still defeated.

But some details of the opponent's defensive battle last night are worth learning from.

At least in the defense of the city, Zhao Ming and they are not very good at it.

And the other side is fighting in the streets, on the road they must pass, sprinkling feces and piling up all kinds of obstacles.

Don't underestimate such a thing as feces, normal people can't help but glance down disgustingly when they step on feces when soldiers advance.

In addition, if the manure is piled up, it can drive the enemy forward to a certain extent, thus creating an excellent angle of fire for the defenders.

Unlike the other defenders, who were hiding in the room, this group of defenders could be said to do anything.

The number of people is very scattered, not only in the house, but also in the alleyway, and even on the roof of the house will lie on the stomach to create a fire point.

At the same time, this group of people is very good at finding dead corners and hidden spots, and the playing style is also very yin, Zhao Ming touched a few people here, and the other party was silent, until at least seven or eight people touched it.

If there is a large gap between the front and rear armies and the distance is very long, the front is carried out in groups of three to explore the way.

This group will also deal with their opponents in white-knuckle combat, so as not to shoot and alert the rear.

It can be said that in the defensive battle, the opponent is really good at it.

Just in the block that the other party was responsible for, the attack was only half an hour, and Zhao Ming's men smashed in the strength of two companies before and after, and more than 200 people were all killed.

Later, a round of shelling was carried out, and the result was that the second advance was still badly damaged.

The enemy is not only good at street fighting, but also very good at hiding and finding cover, and the bunkers found are not the kind of buildings that can be easily blown up by artillery fire, so the follow-up advance is still not optimistic.

It wasn't until the rest of the defensive line collapsed that the area was left isolated and surrendered.

"Master Zhao, are you talking about the commander of the Hunan army?"

"If it's this person, you might have seen it."

"Oh!"

"This person is Li Jun, who led the troops to fight with the Outer Mongolians in the Chazhong defense line before."

"Is that him?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ming was a little stunned, of course he knew Li Jun.

I've seen it, and then I heard that this kid has bought a lot of his bonds.

"I heard that this guy wasn't deprived of military power by Zhang Li? Why did you still lead the troops? ”

"Uh.... It seems that there is no one available, but Li Jun is a talent, you see .....," Zhang Kai asked.

This means that I want to see if Zhao Ming wants to recruit this person.

"Let's test his tone first, if you want to be with us, then give him a temporary staff position, and you can see his quality first.

If you think it's okay, reuse it later.

By the way, what about the casualties of the Hunan soldiers? How many people are left? ”

Compared with Li Jun, Zhao Ming attaches more importance to the Hunan army.

The general direction of defense may have been arranged by Li Jun, but some of the small details of the defensive battle were definitely not taught by Li Jun, but the skills that the previous group of Hunan soldiers possessed.

I heard that the Hunan cavalry was very weak, and the field combat was not particularly good, but the fortification and defensive street fighting were the best, and now it seems that the rumors may be true.

"Master Zhao, the lives of this group of people are hard, I won't say anything else, but they really didn't say anything about saving their lives.

The performance is more sophisticated than those veterans for many years, and now that this group of Hunan soldiers has been counted, there are about 800 people left. ”

"Are they willing to surrender? I am willing to incorporate them into our army, and since they have no change in personnel, I would like to temporarily organize them into a reinforced battalion. Zhao Ming proposed.

Although this battle can be regarded as a complete victory, Wucheng was taken.

But the losses are not small, according to statistics, a total of more than 3,000 people were killed and wounded in this battle, which is the case of excluding more than 1,000 Oriental soldiers.

That is to say, a total of 4,000 people were lost, of which more than 900 were slightly injured, and as long as they took a short rest, they could continue to enter the battlefield, but more than 300 people were seriously injured, some of whom may not be able to be rescued, and some of them will be scrapped even if they can be rescued.

Coupled with the successive losses of the previous siege and uprooting, the total number of people who could not continue to be put into the battlefield reached more than 3,200 people.

It's equivalent to almost two regiments gone.

Although there are still 17,800 people left, these are all Zhao Ming's old backgrounds.

Next, he will inevitably face Lao Yan's revenge, and he will also use troops against Suiyuan.

This number of troops is simply not enough, and the top priority at the moment is to replenish the source of troops, and it is best to expand the army as quickly as possible.

"Master Zhao, in fact, we have already let people communicate with those Hunan soldiers, and they were originally very repulsive.

I heard that they were far away from their homeland, and now they have suffered a defeat and killed many people, and their war-weariness is extremely high.

However, when I proposed the treatment of our army, they agreed without the slightest hesitation. ”

Saying that, Zhang Kai showed a smile, and Zhao Ming was also happy.

The relationship is good, this group of people is still very knowledgeable about current affairs.

"Good! With this Hunan army, our ability to attack and defend the city has been greatly enhanced.

The next win of Datong is considered to be a point of certainty, as long as he can win Datong, the next person who should be anxious is his old Yan.

However, equip these Hunan soldiers with better equipment as much as possible, and do not take it easy in the future.

These people are all baby bumps, and they can't be smashed into them all. ”

Zhao Ming is very satisfied with this Hunan soldier, and his side is a weakness in the infantry.

It's not that recruiting a large number of infantry means that you have a strong ability to fight on foot.

Without the support of the original infantry and old backbones, the trained infantry is also second- or third-rate goods.

Just like the current Chabei cavalry, it was formed with the Zhensong army and the Chabei herdsmen as the backbone.

In addition, Zhao Ming's teaching of the knife technique of kicking and dragging is also equivalent to indirectly absorbing the advantages of Ma Jiajun's knife skills.

Zhao Ming can even say very confidently that in the field cavalry battle, his cavalry does not say that he is the first, but also firmly occupies the first echelon level.
