Chapter 352
"See, this is the current Xinghan League." Liu Xinqi proudly announced to several senior generals at the post-war summary meeting.

"It's really shocking. When we attacked Xinyang before, I already felt that our Xinghan Alliance was very powerful. I didn't expect that attacking Huacheng this time would subvert my concept of war even more." Gao Yuan was also a little shocked.

When attacking Yangxin, they still relied on the force of the soldiers when entering the city to hold back the Jin army's counterattack in the city.

This time the attack on Huacheng was completed entirely by ordinary soldiers.

In other words, if the Fourth Field Regiment had no soldiers, it would not change the outcome of the siege.

"This is my standard siege tactic." Liu Xinyuan said sternly at Gao Yuan, feeling angry that he had previously ignored him.

"You..." Gao Yuan was angry and funny. It was all a joke before.But he also understood that Liu Xinqi was also joking now.

"Well, there are still some flaws in your siege this time, such as the street fighting after entering the city. The soldiers were too proud and did not implement the street fighting standards we trained before. There should have been zero casualties." Liu Xinqi criticized.

Compared with the Jin Army, the Xinghan League's army had a generational advantage in weapons, and all members were equipped with steel armor. They were well-trained, and their soldiers had good physical fitness and high combat morale.Even so, they were attacked by the resisting Jin army in the street fighting, resulting in casualties.

"This is because the soldiers knew that the production of grenades was insufficient, so they failed to fully implement the combat standard of 'drop bombs first and then enter' in hidden places." Liu Xinyuan explained.

"What's more important, human life or grenades?" Liu Xinyuan interrupted directly and reprimanded in a stern voice.

"Human life is important!" Liu Xinyuan immediately stood up and replied.

"That's good. I would rather waste ten or a hundred grenades than fight with the lives of soldiers. Today's Xinghan League is different from the past. When life and death are not at stake, there is no need for soldiers to fight with their lives. You must Remember." Liu Xinqi instilled the concept of 'people-oriented' into the senior generals present.

Some people in later generations have ridiculed the US military as young soldiers, but these young soldiers, relying on their strong national strength, excellent training, and sophisticated equipment, are invincible in the world and maintain the hegemony of the United States.

At present, the cost of training soldiers of Xinghan League is also rising.

Settlement expenses, treatment during recruit training, treatment for military dependents, etc. are all costs.In addition to the weapons, equipment, and logistics provided to these soldiers, as well as the treatment and pension costs incurred after their injuries and deaths, a well-trained and fully equipped Xinghan League soldier is already equivalent to the same weight of copper coins. .

If the Jin soldiers and fake Qi soldiers who can be recruited with a few taels of silver fight to death, the Xinghan Alliance will suffer a huge loss.

"Okay, let's take advantage of the fact that there is still some time before dark, and attack Huachengguan in one fell swoop. This time, the fourth field regiment will still be the main force, commanded by Liu Xinyuan." Liu Xinqi ordered.

"Yes! Alliance Lord."

The crowd will soon disperse.Some naval officers and soldiers entered the city to take over Huacheng, freeing up the Fourth Field Regiment to gather in formation outside the north gate of Huacheng Pass again.

Since the main defense target of Huacheng Pass is the south, the northern city wall is very short and thin. The Jin Army officers and soldiers in the pass also saw Huacheng in the north, and were captured by this group of unknown troops in less than an hour.

Therefore, after the city gate of Huachengguan was blasted open by artillery and the city head was cleaned by tiger squatting cannons, the generals who defended the city surrendered directly.

"Send the order, the Navy will organize ships to transport all the rebels here as soon as possible." Liu Xinqi made arrangements for Gao Yuan.

Then Yu Jin called over.

"I will take away the people of Huacheng and Huachengguan, and leave these two cities to you." Liu Xinqi said first.

Yu Jin was obviously relieved after hearing this.

Before Liu Xinqi asked the sailors to take over Huacheng, he thought that the previous agreement had changed.This time he followed Liu Xinqi to visit the siege battle of the Xinghan League, and Yu Jin no longer had any intention of resisting the Xinghan League.If Liu Xinqi hadn't wanted to use the name of their rebel army, he would have been directly reorganized by the Xinghan League.

"Thank you, ally."

"You're welcome, this was all agreed before." Liu Xinqi waved his hand, and then arranged: "There is a large area of ​​land south of Huachengguan that can be used for farming. We conducted a sweep there last year, and now a lot of the land should be It is a land without an owner. The original people there have now settled in Denglai, and there should be very few who are willing to come back. So you can ask your soldiers for their opinions later. Those who are willing to let their family members come here to farm and settle down can do so. Sign up in advance, and when the situation stabilizes, I will send a boat to bring their families over."

The Jin army will definitely counterattack later, and there will be a big battle in Huacheng.

Moreover, this place will definitely be a place of dispute between the Rebel Army and the Jin Army in the future. There will definitely be a lot of fighting. Those Rebel Army soldiers may not necessarily want their family members to come over, so Liu Xinqi arranged for Yu Jinxian to consult.

"I understand. After they all come over, I will start to implement it." Yu Jin replied.

"Tomorrow you will take over the defense of the two cities, and all my people will withdraw." Liu Xinqi said.

"Um..., can we keep the elite troops who attacked the city before? The Jin army will definitely attack in large numbers later, and I'm not sure we can hold on." Yu Jin requested.

Liu Xinqi thought about it. He would also need the members of the Fourth Field Regiment later, so he couldn't keep them all.

"I'll leave you a battalion of troops."

"How much is a battalion?"

"630 people." Liu Xinqi replied.

"How many powerful firearms are there?" Yu Jin asked carefully.

Liu Xinqi looked at him, but he didn't realize that this person's eyes were still very poisonous. Being able to sit on the leader of the rebel army really had his own unique advantages.

"I will keep the ten-door trot." Liu Xinqi replied.

These ten tiger cannons will also be used by the soldiers of the field regiment and will not be handed over directly to the rebels. Therefore, Liu Xinqi did not say "keep it for you", but said "will keep it".

"Then I'll be relieved." Yu Jin replied, looking at his demeanor, he was indeed much relieved.

With ten tiger cannons on the city wall, it is much easier to defend the city. If the Jin army wants to get close to the city wall, they must withstand several waves of shelling first. Large siege weapons can also be destroyed with artillery.

"In the south of Huacheng Pass, I will send officials to manage it. You can just stay in the two cities. The Xinghan League will provide all your supplies such as food, grass, weapons and equipment, and will open various shops in the two cities to meet the needs of the soldiers. , entertainment needs." Liu Xinqi said again.

This is equivalent to encircling the rebel army in the Huacheng area. The intention of using it is too obvious. Liu Xinqi added:
"You don't have to worry too much. In two years, the Jin Army will no longer be a threat to our Xinghan Alliance. By then you will be completely free. You can go wherever you want."

"Is it okay to join the Xinghan League?" Yu Jin asked.

"Yes, if you plan to join the Xinghan League at that time, all soldiers will be treated as citizens, and your leaders will be given higher treatment based on their contributions in the past few years." Liu Xinqi promised.

The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys are cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden.That is a sign of lack of control and lack of confidence in his subordinates.Liu Xinqi didn't need it. He was very confident that as long as he lived, his men would not be able to make any trouble.
