Kingdom of Heaven and Han

After sending Dang Xianying away, Zhang Zhen immediately called a meeting of the headquarters staff in the Danzhai official hall.

Everyone sat down, and the soldiers served tea.Zhang Zhendao: "We started from Suide City and occupied Qingjian City. Then we went west and occupied Dantou Village. We wiped out five thousand gold troops along the way. Only now do we understand how many gold troops there are and what they intend to do."

Cao Yudao: "Yu Hou ordered us to go south to occupy Qingjian City and consolidate Suide's defense. But we didn't want us to fight two battles in a row and wipe out the Jin army. Now that we have arrived at Dantou Village, we realize that this is the Jin army's defense." The main force, and probably most of the Jin army in Shaanxi. On one side of Dantou village is Anbao, where there is a brigade of Jin troops, and I don't know how many people there are. On the other side is Long'an village, thousands of Jin troops are about to come. As long as Dantou Village is defended, the safety of Suide's army in the rear can be guaranteed."

Having said that, Cao Yu stood up, leaned on the table, and fixed his eyes on everyone.Said: "We fought two battles within a few days, and we lost more than 300 people. Now 700 people have to face the attack of thousands of Jin troops. Everyone must muster up courage and defend Dantou Village!"

At this time, the attitude of the governor Cao Yu is very important.He said that if you want to hold here, you can't retreat half a step.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Zhang Zhen coughed lightly.Said: "Cao Dujian said very clearly that we can't retreat for half a step in Dantou Village. Once we retreat, we will reach Qingjian City. It is very convenient for the enemy to go south and north. Dantou Village is a village in the middle of the canyon, from east to west There is only one way to go. It is stuck here, and the enemy is so powerful that they can't do anything to Suide. But don't be nervous, we only lost 300 people in the past two days, and wiped out 1 Jinjun. Those who come can How many people are there? All the troops of the Jin Army in Shaanxi have come, and it is impossible to exceed [-]. In the front, we attacked the enemy and defended, and we won a complete victory. Now the enemy is attacking and we defend, so it should be more tolerant. Especially Today, a battalion of ours wiped out [-] cavalry from the Jin army, what else is there to fear?"

After finishing speaking, he said to Wang Wenhong, the commander of the left: "Go back later and tell Shu Jiming and Wang Zhongfu to celebrate their achievements tonight. They fought well!"

Wang Wenhong said yes.

Zhang Zhendao: "We have fought two battles in the past two days. We are running out of shells and grenades, and we need to replenish them from behind. Tao Qing will set off overnight in a while, and urge the back to bring more. Fortunately, we can go all the way. Big carts, as long as they are transported quickly, can support us in defending the city."

Tao Qing said yes.Knowing that the time is urgent, the headquarters must send someone to watch the logistics.

Zhang Zhen went on to say: "It seems that it is impossible for the Jin army to attack tomorrow, and it will take the day after tomorrow. After you go back, you should hurry up to rest the troops and repair the damaged ordnance. According to the city's regulations, strengthen the defense. All the cannons Go to the city wall and strengthen the defense of the city wall. If the Jin army does not come, this work will not stop for a day. The stronger the city wall, the less energy we need to defend the city."

After Zhang Zhen finished speaking, he gently held his teacup and looked at everyone.

Seeing that everyone was not talking about work, Cheng Liangsong stood up and said: "The specific arrangement is as follows. The former barracks will fight today and have a day off tomorrow. If the Jin army doesn't come, we will work with the Zuo barracks to strengthen the defense of the city wall the day after tomorrow. The Zuo barracks will start tomorrow." , Arrange artillery on the city wall, make artillery positions, place grenades, arrange stones and rolling logs, etc. to defend the city wall. The middle and right camps repair the city wall, dig trenches, and do various civil engineering operations. The rear camp arranges materials, various Where to put the defense equipment, how to eat and rest, must be decided in advance. Nie Feng, Wang Wenhong and Zhang Yousheng, you need to arrange the mission when you go back."

The three stood up and said yes.

Zhang Zhen said: "Okay, everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged. Tao Qing will go to eat first, and leave in a while! Remember, if you want to defend the city, shells and grenades are essential! After you go back, arrange Send these two over here. Dantou village has grain and grass stored, so it's not too urgent."

Tao Qing said yes, got up, said goodbye and left.

Zhang Zhendao: "If you have any opinions, let's talk about it. To defend Dantou Village, we need to work together."

In today's meeting, because Dantou Village must be defended, Cao Yu's attitude was strict.Cao Yu's attitude was stern, while Zhang Zhen's attitude was more relaxed.This is the way of getting along with the governor and the capital prison, which has been honed slowly.

Wang Wenhong said: "The control and staff have just talked about how to defend and how to arrange. It is basically complete. However, there is no defense without offense. Only when there is both offense and defense, and there is offense in defense, can we be as stable as Mount Tai. How will it be then? Offense, control has not yet been arranged."

Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "Indeed, I only talked about defense just now. This is based on two considerations. One is that Marquis Yu will not let us defend to the death, and will send reinforcements. Dantou Village is [-] kilometers away from Suide City. It will be here in three to five days. In addition to the time we need to ask for help, we only need to wait for five days. Another thing is that the situation is changing rapidly, which army to attack depends on the situation at the time, and it will be decided at that time."

Wang Wenhong shook his head: "It's better to make a decision early. The army should prepare early."

Zhang Zhen nodded: "Alright. In normal combat, the front army and the left army are used as forwards. But this time it is different. It is a defensive battle, so let the central battalion be the main attack. During the battle, the rear battalion is used as a reserve team to support other battalions at any time. When necessary, they will cooperate with the central battalion to go out of the city to attack, and the other battalions will assist."

Wang Wenhong was not satisfied after hearing this, but didn't say anything more.

When defending, there must be many countermeasures against the enemy's main attack direction.For example, suddenly attack the enemy in other directions to disrupt the enemy.Or when the enemy is retreating, attack suddenly to make the enemy tired.All kinds, many countermeasures using offensive countermeasures.But if you can't stick to it, let the enemy attack when they want to attack, and rest when they want to rest, then it's over.

Zhang Yousheng said: "Actually, the artillery is very useful when defending the city. It can destroy all the enemy's siege equipment. But how to use the artillery should be drawn up before the battle. Otherwise, it will be impossible to arrange artillery positions and other things. "

Zhang Zhen looked at Cheng Liangsong, and said, "The staff and I will go to the city wall to see this matter tomorrow before making a decision. It's too early to make a decision now."

After discussing a few unimportant issues, it was getting dark.

Zhang Zhen stood up and said, "Tonight, I will celebrate Shu Jiming's battalion. The other battalions have eaten and slept early to prepare for tomorrow's affairs."

Cao Yu said: "Let's celebrate with all the staff. Shu Jiming's battalion adds two sheep and prepares a few jars of wine. Except for them, other battalions are not allowed to drink alcohol."

Zhang Zhen smiled and said: "Since the Dujian said so, let's do so. Now we have no shortage of supplies, so we are a little extravagant. The other battalion has five sheep, and Shu Jiming's former army battalion has fifteen. Besides, they Fifty more chickens, feel free to eat them!"

Everyone listened and laughed together.This kind of food is enough to eat freely, so don't worry about running out of food.

Cao Yu thought for a while and said: "Since the management is so generous, I can't be stingy. Today, dozens of fish were caught in the Yeyan River and cooked together to celebrate the former military camp! Also, they can let go tonight. Drink and rest tomorrow."

Cheng Liangsong on the side secretly planned who would celebrate tonight and who would be on duty.Although Dang Xianying surrendered, he could not fully trust him.For these foreign soldiers, loyalty is very problematic at this time, which side is stronger and which side to vote for.
