Chapter 383 Fighting Huacheng Again 2
After a few polite words, the troops began to enter the city in an orderly manner.

Now there are almost no ordinary people in Huacheng in the north and Huachengguan in the south, and they have become two large military camps.Huacheng is where soldiers are stationed, and Huachengguan is where soldiers take turns to rest.

At present, in addition to the soldiers of the Rebel Army and the Xinghan League, there are some bold businessmen who dare to come to the front line to provide services to the army.

Most of these businessmen are from Penglai, and they have very high trust in the Xinghan League. They believe that the Xinghan League will not be defeated, so they will take the risk of doing some business as soldiers with the army.

Soldiers have money and spend generously, and their business profits are pretty good.

These transactions are all reviewed by the Logistics Department. They are mostly food sales, equipment repairs, daily necessities, clothing sales, etc. They will not involve pornography and drugs. These two are absolutely prohibited in the Xinghan League's army. Just catch them. Heavy fines were imposed, not only on soldiers, but also on businessmen who provided services.

The Xinghan League army is not like the armies of other countries. Once you become a soldier, you will lose contact with your family.Xinghan League has family leave, which lasts for two months a year. If there is no condition for leave that year, it will be accumulated for two years and four months, or three years and six months.

When soldiers have family leave, they can have their own private lives, have families, and have a place to release their desires, without causing trouble because they have been held in for too long.

The Fourth Field Regiment had basically rested, and even the first battalion of soldiers who had stayed behind in Huacheng had changed their defenses in June.

After having a hot dinner and everyone settling down, it was already midnight. This time was no longer suitable for holding a military meeting. Several senior officials went back to camp to rest.

The next day, August 28, Chen hour.

The generals above the battalion gathered in the Central Army (former Huacheng County Yamen).

"Liaoyang Mansion is 22 miles away from Huacheng. The Jin Army set off from Liaoyang Mansion on August [-] and marched about [-] miles a day. Yesterday, the spies who watched the Jin Army reported that the Jin Army was already close to Gaizhou, and it is estimated that it will reach Gaizhou today. Gaizhou.”

With golden eagle communication, the six hundred miles round trip only takes one hour.

The dive speed of a wild golden eagle can exceed 1000 kilometers per hour, and the average cruising flight speed is about [-] kilometers. A one-star general card increases the speed by [-], which is half of that of a wild golden eagle.After final conversion to units, the cruising flight speed can reach [-] miles/hour.

"I don't know if they will rest halfway. If we don't rest halfway and arrive directly at Huacheng, the Jin Army will arrive in nine days at the earliest. So we still have nine days to prepare for the Jin Army this time." Liu Xinyuan analyzed road.

"That's right, but everything that can be prepared is ready now, just wait for the Jin army to come over." Yu Jin answered.

It has been prepared for several months. I thought that the Jin army would counterattack quickly, but I didn't expect to wait until the summer harvest was over before leaving.

"The fact that the Jin Army was able to wait until now to counterattack shows that they are waiting for summer grain. It also reveals that the Jin Kingdom has been fighting continuously for several years and its own savings have been very tight. From this point of view, we can analyze that we will not face many enemies. Maybe it’s this wave.” Liu Xinyuan analyzed again.

"That's right. The Military Intelligence Department and Diting jointly compiled intelligence before coming here. The Jin army in Shangjing and Yanjing has not moved. The Jin army in Liaoyang Prefecture has assembled the troops from Zhongjing Road and Tokyo Road, and it is the largest in total. A main battle force of 4 people." Jiao Rui continued.

"Yes, according to frontline inspections, the Jin Army dispatched about 7 troops this time, but only half of them had complete weapons and armor, and the rest were logistics troops." The person in charge of Liaodong's Military Intelligence Department reported.

Seeing that the officers of the Xinghan League could clearly analyze the enemy's strength and strength in just a few words, the rebel generals breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me just say, there is no need to be afraid at all. When we were in Cangzhou, we faced the elite troops of the Jin Army, with more people than the current Liaoyang Army. We won in the end. Now there are Xinghan With the help of the brothers from the Alliance Field Group, we will definitely win," Yang Jin said. "The leader of the alliance often said, 'Despise the enemy strategically, and pay attention to the enemy tactically.' Even if we have a good chance of winning, we cannot take it lightly. In history, there are countless battles that capsized in the gutter. Cao Cao's Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi, from Both positive and negative aspects illustrate the tragic consequences of underestimating the enemy," said Jiao Rui.

In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated the many with less.In the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's enemies were defeated with fewer enemies.Moreover, the Battle of Guandu is in the front and the Battle of Chibi is in the back, which is very dramatic.

"That's right, our two armies have to practice and cooperate with each other in the past few days, so that we don't have time to fight in front of the battle, and if there is a problem with the coordination, the enemy will wait for the opportunity to take advantage of it." Yu Jin agreed.

In the next few days, the two armies practiced together how to deal with various battle situations such as defending the city, fighting outside the city, and breaking through the encirclement.

"You guys... are a bit awesome." Yu Jin sighed after seeing the cooperation between Jiao Rui and Liu Xinyuan.

"It would be great if we could do this at sea." Ye Chuan, who had always been a bystander, was also a little envious.

"Hey, I don't know the specific effect yet. If it can really achieve the expected effect, I will be happy then." Jiao Rui said modestly.

Finally, Liu Xinyuan concluded this topic:
"Speaking of which, this is still your attention, and your navy is not far away from implementing this kind of warfare. If the steam engine researched by the lord this time is successful, your ships will not even need sails. By then, they will be horses on the sea, You can run wherever you want.”

"I hope so." Ye Chuan responded.

……

On September [-]th, the Liaoyang Army of the Jin Kingdom never stopped for rest and recuperation. It took fifteen days to move the army to the north of Huacheng.

Looking at the Jin army arrayed outside the city, Liu Xinyuan admired:

"Compared with the Puppet Qi army, the Jin army is indeed much more sophisticated. This is still the second-line army of the Jin State. It is no wonder that the Zhao State was defeated and retreated."

The Jin army is not planning to attack the city now. The formation is just to guard the logistics troops who are camping in the rear.However, defensive preparations have been made on the walls of Huacheng to prevent the Jin army from seeing the empty defense of Huacheng and improvising, changing their strategies and launching an attack.

"I think Zhao Guo was caught off guard. Didn't he withstand the Jin army's fierce attack in the first half of this year." Yu Jin continued.

To prevent the topic from getting dragged further, Jiao Rui changed the subject: "Then are we going to have a night attack tonight?"

"Of course, even if we don't succeed, we still have to harass them. After all, when people come from afar, we should also say hello politely." Liu Xinyuan replied.

"Are you going or should I go?" Jiao Rui asked again.

Among the officers of the Xinghan Alliance here, Liu Xinyuan has the highest military rank and position, so according to regulations, the Xinghan Alliance army is commanded by Liu Xinyuan.
