Part Two, Chapter Fourteen, Soldiers’ Deceitful Ways 4
[69 Book Bar-www.] "Two hundred miles east of Dongping City, there were thousands of miles of fertile land, and there were originally many villages. Since the Snake Man attacked, the villages in the south of the Yangtze River moved north one after another. General Shao ordered us wounded soldiers to go to the river.
The victims gathered on the north bank and set up forts along the north bank of the river, which on the one hand gives the victims a safe place, and on the other hand, it also provides defense along the river. The strength among the victims is enough to supplement the casualties in Dongping City after training."
Shao Fengguan actually had such a vision! I couldn't help but admire him secretly. His idea was extremely magnificent. Zhijiang Province had a population of one million, of which there were 200,000 in Dongping City. The land here was fertile and the war was in place. I was afraid that the people in Jiangnan would flee north.
If there is no place to settle, these people will have to compete for grain with the indigenous residents of Jiangbei. However, Shao Fengguan did this, one would set up defenses along the river, and the other would have a solid rear. The transportation on the river did not require the power of cattle and horses, and the cost was very low. Dongping City
It is already a sect that relies on water and has a steady supply. If the enemy is not the snake man whose combat power is far more than expected, Dongping City would be more than enough to hold on for decades.
I think I have the shadow of a famous general. It seems that my current strength is nothing more than fighting on the battlefield, and it is really a world of difference from a real famous general. Maybe Shao Fengguan is closer to a famous general.
I sighed, "General Shao is really amazing. General Shang, are you still going east now?"
"Yes. There are many skilled carpenters in this ship. We mainly take on the role of shipbuilding. Once the navy in the city was defeated, the ships suffered huge losses. The original army of the military farms could not build ships. Chu Commander, thank you for your help.
Thank you, we should set out."
I thought for a while and said, "Okay. But you have to be careful to prevent the snake man from ambushing again."
As soon as he saw Shang Ben leave, he suddenly heard a voice shouting at the bow of the boat: "Where is the control? I want to see him!"
The sound was from Tao Changshi. I walked over the cabin and said, "General Tao, I'm here."
Hearing Tao Changshi and Liu Shixian came over. The rain was still heavy, and Zhen Yining found an umbrella from somewhere to support me. Although it was still bright, it was too heavy, so they could see their figures.
I was not clear, but Tao Changshi was angry when he walked up to me, and suddenly he made a "bang" sound, and the two of them knelt down at the same time. I was startled and said, "General Tao, General Liu, this
Why?”
Tao Changshi said: "I was ordered to obey the command of the commander and should be ordered to treat us as subordinates. However, I am afraid that I will have unforgivable crimes, so please punish me."
I was a little confused and said, "Why did General Tao say this?"
"The ruler, when we set out, has the ruler said that the wolf soldiers and the vanguard camp will advance and retreat together?"
"yes."
"Then why did the ruler only let our army watch on the wall and return to the vanguard camp? It was said that it was limited by the camp, but this time it really surprised the last general. I think we were very guilty and the ruler was unwilling to do so.
For our contributions, please punish us.”
They are trying to compete for merit. I couldn't help but feel a little amused. The two thousand wolf troops actually have not made small contributions, but the two attacks on the front of the snake man were all the forward battalions. Their losses were small, and their contributions were naturally small. I pondered for a moment.
He said: "General Tao, General Liu, please don't be suspicious. If Chu Xiuhong had this intention, the gods and men would be punished together."
What he said was not bad. The number of people in the forward battalion was only 1,300. After being divided into these three parts, although the number was a little large, the snake man attacked the forward battalion twice. Although our losses were not serious, we had a total of casualties.
With less than a hundred people, only one ship was damaged, but the vanguard battalion was actually slightly blunt, and the wolf soldiers were almost completely unharmed, so it was not impossible to let him be a vanguard. I thought for a while and said, "General Tao is dedicated to the country,
I really admire it. Since General Tao invites generals, then let’s ask General Tao for his request. The following hundred miles of itinerary is to use General Tao’s troops as the vanguard, the vanguard battalion as the right wing, General Liu as the left wing, and the vanguard formation to advance."
I made this arrangement and they responded to the "demand" and stood up, but their faces were still a little dissatisfied. Looking at their backs, I couldn't help but feel upset.
If I have to command such people, there are so many things. If I were to command a hundred thousand troops, then just dispatching these generals would be afraid that I would vomit blood.
After Tao and Liu left, I asked Zhen Yining to change the formation, and the forward battalion turned to the right wing, so that Tao Changshi's army came to the middle. Fortunately, there are not many people now, so it is easy to change the formation, so it was only delayed for a while.
Then the new formation was turned into.
The fleet set off in the rain again. I looked at the newly added row of graves on the shore, but my nose couldn't help but feel sore.
The rain was still heavy, making my black moon armor shiny, and the clothes under the armor were already wet. I stood silently on the bar.
Human life may be the most precious thing for a person, but in war, life is such a trivial thing. In the light of swords and swords, life and death are just a matter of a moment. Some of the dead in battle don’t even know the names.
At this time, someone walked up to me and supported an umbrella to top of my head. I turned my head and it was Zhen Yining. He probably finished sending the order. I forced a smile and said, "Zhen Yining, the rain is very good."
Big, go in first.”
Zhen Yining also had a little worried look on her face and said, "Control, why are you not happy after this victory?"
His words were like a knife, and I almost felt dizzy. But what should I say? I actually don’t want to fight at all, I just want to spend my life safely?
"Zhen Yining, you are just the first to enter the battle formation and you will know slowly."
The rain was still falling. I looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.
The ship is advancing at high speed, so it is time to go to Dongping City tonight, right? The fierce battle has only really begun to begin now.
Now the fleet is driving on the river. Although it is going upstream, it is moving forward with the wind. Although the ship speed is not fast on the river, it can still reach Dongping City in two hours. But it is already afternoon, and we have arrived in Yanping City.
, it must be midnight.
After dusk, the rain gradually became thinner, and when it was dark, the rain finally stopped. As soon as the rain stopped, the soldiers on each ship took the time to change into their clothes that had been wet by the rain, and there was only a noise on the river.
I went back to the cabin and changed my underwear and wiped the Black Moon Armor. The Black Moon Armor is just a half-body armor, which mainly protects the upper body, and is not heavy, but it is not easy to wipe. I wiped it finely with a piece of dry cloth.
Under the oil lamp, the auricle leaves began to shine again.
At this time someone knocked on the door and I said, "Come in."
The one who came in was Cao Wendao. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "The boat that the commander and sent out to explore the way is back."
I frowned. This time I sent four small boats to explore the way forward, so that even if something happens, at least one of the ships will be able to come back. Shang Ben and the others are attacked, and if there is a small boat that explores the way back to send a message, we can only
If the soldiers who were exploring the road were fine, they would not come back. When they came back to report the news, something might have happened before. I said, "Is there anything unusual?"
