Chapter 497 Battle in Cangzhou 4
"Press forward!" Liu Zhijie ordered.

The platoon gun array began to shoot forward in rotation. After one platoon finished shooting, it loaded its ammunition on the spot, and the loaded platoon behind rushed to the front and fired in formation.Like a wheel, the entire platoon of guns rolled forward.

"To conduct a night attack at this level, the commander is too confident." The deputy brigade commander muttered to Liu Zhijie.

Night attacks have very high requirements on the army, and only elite divisions are capable of launching night attacks.

With the night vision of a soldier, he could see that within ten rounds of volleys, deserters had already begun to appear in the night raiding army ahead, and the deserters were running towards both sides of the battlefield.

"As a matter of courtesy, you go and prepare. Lead the two regiments to follow the defeated army directly into the city. We will take Zhao'an County tonight." Liu Zhijie ordered.

"Yes!" The deputy brigade commander took the order and went down to prepare.

"Attack the city at night? It will increase the casualties of our own troops. How about we wait until dawn before taking action?" the chief of staff of the [-]th Brigade suggested.

When attacking a city at night, due to the cover of night, street fighting after entering the city can easily be attacked by defenders who are familiar with the terrain, and the casualties will be much greater than during the day.

"It doesn't matter, I took a look at the army that attacked at night. The equipment is still good, not cannon fodder. And these troops that attacked at night are not as good as the recruits that our Xinghan League trained for a month. The enemy generals send out troops to attack at night like this. It can be seen that there are many defenders in the city." Liu Zhijie did not agree with the chief of staff's order and explained to him: "And this is a rare opportunity. Tonight we will capture Zhao'an City in one go, and tomorrow we will leave some of the people who fought at night to rest, and our army will Being able to go directly to Wuzhu County is one day and one night earlier than the previous battle plan. By then, it will be impossible for the Jin Army to reach Wuzhu County before us."

According to the intelligence during the day, the Jin Army has arrived at Qingchi County. If the Jin Army sends a cavalry to march directly, it is possible that they can reach Wuzhu County in one day.

"Okay, I will go to the rear camp to inform Brigadier Zhao to lift the alert and let the soldiers take time to rest." The chief of staff asked.

"Go ahead."

Neither of them thought it would be difficult to capture Zhao'an County.

On the 29th, when the sky was slightly bright, the entire camp began to "come alive", and the tents were disassembled and packed into trucks.

Each cooking class began to cook. Taking the company as a unit, the platoon-level cooks cooperated with the company headquarters cooks, and a squad of soldiers helped, and breakfast was quickly prepared.

Since it was during the march, there were no foods that required a lot of work, such as steamed buns and steamed buns. Breakfast only had convenience foods such as thick porridge, salted fish, and pickles.

Liu Xinqi did not eat with the soldiers. He had a small meal with two light side dishes, a plate of steamed buns, and a bowl of soy milk. There were also Zhao Yinghao and Liu Zhijie in the tent. While eating, the two of them reported to Liu Xinqi what happened last night. War situation.

The defeated army rushed to the city, but the city gate was not closed in time, and was directly chased into the city by a cavalry battalion, followed by three infantry battalions.After entering the city, there was very weak resistance. The civil and military officials of Zhao'an County who stayed on the gate tower waiting for the news of "victory" were directly taken over. The city had no leader, and there were no reserve soldiers. Allied soldiers occupied it.

"This county magistrate was also reckless. He directly sent 4000 people for a night attack. After the night attack was broken, the remaining 1000 people were immediately frightened." Liu Zhijie concluded.

"What are our casualties?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"Three people were killed and 46 were injured, 13 of whom were seriously injured." Liu Zhijie replied.

Liu Xinqi opened the system to check. After the Western Attack, the power value has been slowly rising. Now it has reached 5487209, and the reputation has also reached 4593467.

Select "Recruit 16 times", the reputation is -16000, and the remaining reputation is 4577467.

After the special effects, thirteen one-star general cards and three two-star general cards appeared in Liu Xinqi's hand.After recruiting more than 5000 general cards, Liu Xinqi has basically mastered the rules and probabilities of recruitment.

He took out thirteen one-star military general cards and handed them to Liu Zhijie: "Use them for the seriously injured, and do your best to treat them."

"Yes! I will thank the leader on behalf of those wounded."

"That's right. The soldiers are working hard on the front line to revitalize the Han Alliance. We can't let their hearts be cold." Liu Xinqi replied.

After this year's year-end settlement, Liu Xinqi believes that the one-star general cards in his hand will be greatly abundant. By then, he can give each brigade a certain amount of spare general cards, so that they can provide timely treatment to seriously injured soldiers when fighting outside. , Reduce the death rate of seriously injured people.

In this way, on the one hand, we reward those brave men who dare to fight hard, and on the other hand, we retain the seeds of experienced veterans.

The previously established system of "all officers receiving immortal magic" will continue to be implemented. Comprehensive treatment of seriously injured personnel only adds one more rule to this rule: warriors are also eligible to receive immortal magic.

I believe that if this system is implemented, it will greatly improve the fighting spirit and morale of the Xinghan Alliance troops.

Liu Zhijie handed over the thirteen general cards in his hand to his guards: "Take these thirteen talismans and use them for the seriously injured as soon as possible." Then he continued to report to Liu Xinqi: "Through responding to the night attack last night, I discovered I’ll report to you some areas that can be improved.”

"You said."

"First of all, I think the alarms at night should be divided into levels, and then corresponding response plans should be formulated according to the different levels. For example, for a night attack of the level last night, a lower level alarm can be used first, without the need for all personnel to prepare for war."

"Would it be a waste of time to fight?" Zhao Yinghao raised a different opinion.

"I don't think so. We only have 2 people now, and we may not realize that getting up in the middle of the night will do anything. But in the future, if there are 10,000+ people, or hundreds of thousands of people, and if the enemy comes to attack at night with a few thousand people, then we will be able to One hundred thousand soldiers all got up to prepare for war, which is too passive." Liu Zhijie gave an example.

"It makes sense. If the enemy comes three or five times a night, we won't have the energy to fight the next day." Liu Xinqi nodded in agreement: "You can submit a report of your ideas to the staff and let them investigate and collect information in detail. We will formulate new systems based on the opinions of other generals.”

"Okay." Liu Zhijie responded.

"Second point, I think when setting up camp, we can actually set up small camps, and then form a large camp from the small camps. It is best to have one camp per regiment..."

After several people discussed for a while, the guard reported and they were ready to go.

After ordering the army to set off, the three rode together and continued to discuss the unfinished topic.

"I think when a large army is fighting, the cooking should be more concentrated to facilitate management..." Zhao Yinghao suggested.

...

After Liu Xinqi's training, now the officers of the Xinghan League have basically learned to observe and analyze. Many of the current systems in the Xinghan League's army are summed up by officers at all levels from practice. They are already much more professional than Liu Xinqi's two swords, so Liu Xinqi no longer knows how to command the army in details, and he will not even eat with ordinary soldiers.

The Xinghan League no longer needs Corporal Liu Xinqi Lixian.
