Chapter 516: Asking for the order to go down the mountain
"Of course, any kind of combat requires physical strength, and fighting with the enemy army on a hungry stomach cannot last, so the royal military attaches great importance to the rationing of military rations, and all troops in battle need to give priority to the supply of combat dry food. Liang Chong learned from Zhang Jie's usual chats with his subordinates that Ao Yu may be the strongest person in the 201st Division, so he looked at Ao Yu differently.
"It's not useful, can you care about something else besides eating?" Ding Kui pulled Ao Yu beside him.
"Eh, that's what you're not talking about, Captain Ding. The powerful samurai all eat an amazing amount of food, and my Zhang Yulu is very good at eating, and one person can top four or five people. Little Brother Ding's strength is above Zhang Yulu, and it is reasonable to eat more.
Good staff officer, tell the logistics, Ding Yu's military ration will be doubled. Zhang Jie saw Ao Yu's expression and said, "Well, three times." Ding Yu won't mention it today, I've always forgotten about it. ”
Even if you add ten times or a hundred times, it is not enough, I think this goods can catch up with the gluttony, think about the cooks in my family who are tired enough every day, and most of them are for him alone.
Ding Kui complained frantically in his stomach, no way, it's better to hide these things from others, "Thank you Lord Zhang!" he kicked Ao Yu's heel.
"Thank you, my lord, oops, it's still the official's words. Ao Yu suddenly realized that such a thing as an official position was quite useful, and everyone present was made to cry and laugh by him.
"My lord, it's better to wait for some of the scouts to come back after nightfall and torture them than for us to guess here. Ding Kui took the opportunity to propose to go down the mountain, and going down the mountain with a military order can save a lot of things, and he doesn't have to sneak around in the mountains like a mouse.
"Well, it's okay to catch a few, but don't irritate the enemy too much, you just take a squad down the mountain. Zhang Jie didn't think about whether Ding Kui could do it, but worried that Ding Kui would catch too many scouts and come back, "Before the main army has news, we should not start a war with the enemy army too early, after all, they have an absolute superiority in strength." ”
"Since this is the case, there is no need for so many people to go, it will get in the way if you go more, just go with Ding Yu, and it will be more convenient for the two of them to move. Ding Kui didn't think about killing at all, he went down the mountain to cultivate in the name of grabbing his tongue.
"Yes, that's it. Zhang Jie turned his head and instructed Liang Chong, "I will send an order to Xue Chong in a while, and let Ding Kui grab a few tongues and come back at night." ”
Military orders will not be given to the pro-soldiers, but only to the people who bring the pro-soldiers, and whether the person will bring his own pro-soldiers is not a matter for the superior officers to manage.
Xue Chong frowned after receiving the military order sent by Liangchong, and found Ding Kui and said, "Come back as soon as possible after catching the scouts, and don't do anything you can't do." ”
"Don't worry, captain, what can the two of us do? Ding Kui understood what his captain was going to say.
Hearing Ding Kui say this, the expression on Xue Chong's face was much more relaxed, his eyebrows were no longer wrinkled, and he put his arm around Ding Kui's shoulders and said, "It's good to know, don't let the new daughter-in-law of the family stay alone in the empty room for too long." A narrow smile appeared on his face.
In the evening, the Shaodian army arrived in Zhongguan City one after another, unlike the Meng army, it dared to march at night, because the army had eyeliner and guides wherever it was fighting in the local area, and the marching efficiency was more than a cut higher than that of the Meng army.
"News has arrived from Zengxi City that the vanguard of the 22nd Army has been camped outside the city, and its main force will arrive in a few days. "Detective Malay newspaper.
Jiang Zhi gathered several corps commanders who had arrived in advance for a meeting, pointed to the map on the table, and said: "The 22nd Army is in Zengxi City, the 21st Army is in Fengfeng Pass, and the two army corps sent by the Commander's Office for reinforcements have already driven to the front line. The combat strength of 200,000 people here is unknown, and can only be used for reserves and blocking and rescue, and the main attack will have to rely on our Eighth and Fourteenth Army Corps.
All the members of the Eighth and Fourteenth Army Corps will be able to arrive by noon tomorrow, the Second Army Corps will be able to arrive by tomorrow night, and the remaining units will be able to arrive at Zhongguan City at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest. According to the commander's order, the general attack was to be launched in three days, and the road to Shapu City had to be repaired within three days.
The 1st Eighth Army Corps, the 1st 1st Army Corps, and the 1st Lindi Army were the first to take the lead attack, while the 2nd, Haitii, and 22nd Lindi Corps were ready to respond in a roundabout way, and then they would make other arrangements depending on the specific battle situation. Do you have any comments on this?"
Hu Qin saw that the other people were silent, so he had to take the lead in responding: "In addition to the new corps and the second legion of Lindi to maintain a complete establishment, our several corps have suffered varying degrees of losses from the start of the battle to the present.
Our 14th Army Corps had fought hard with the elite 13th Army Corps of the Meng Army for many days, and the casualties were second only to the 1st Army Corps on the ground, and the soldiers were already very tired from the sleepless journey day and night. I see if we can start the general offensive a day or two later, so that the soldiers can rest and rest. ”
Also present were the commanders of Lindi 1, Lindi 2 and Haiti 1, who were expressionless and did not express support or opposition, which made Hu Qin even anxious.
"Well, we all know what the commander means, our army is tired, and the enemy is just as tired, and give us an extra day or two of rest, and let the enemy rest for another day or two. The question is who has the stronger recovery ability? Are we or the enemy? I have to be honest, the overall quality of my subordinates is not as good as the enemy's, and I am afraid that this aspect is a little worse. Fan Yi took the initiative to say so as not to be too embarrassed by Hu Qin.
"Commander Fan said one aspect, and another aspect is that the enemy army is more tired than us, they have encountered a lot of resistance all the way to attack the city and plunder the land, and now they have to build fortifications to resist the attack of our army, and it is the Meng army that needs the most time, not us. The commander in chief is by no means inconsiderate of the suffering of the lower-level officers and soldiers, but hopes that there will be fewer casualties in the next major battle, and he will take the first step to break the string of the enemy army. Jiang Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In the face of many powerful generals in the army, Jiang Zhi's momentum is much weaker, and his prestige and seniority in the army are too far from these generals. During the siege of Jianshi City, everyone knew that they could not retreat, and besides, they were easy to be defeated by the Meng army with superior forces. Now that the situation has been reversed, the difficulty of commanding the legions will skyrocket, without willingness.
As the commander of the regular army, Hu Qin took the lead in complaining about suffering, and it was a signal that Jiang Zhi really didn't understand the reasoning he said? Obviously, he didn't look down on Jiang Zhi very much.
Fortunately, several commanders of the local army did not make trouble with them, and Fan Yi, who suffered the least loss, also opened his mouth to speak for Jiang Zhi, which was equivalent to expressing his position on behalf of the local army. In this way, Jiang Zhi's pressure will be much less when he directs the battle later.
