Datang New Order

The Khitan chose the right time to attack, and they caught Li Chengzhong by surprise.During the first two days when he entered White Wolf Mountain, Li Chengzhong was quite vigilant. He specially set up a sentry at the mountain pass to keep an eye on the actions of the Khitan people.But because the Khitan people hadn't taken any action, he seemed a little slack, and there were really too many things to worry about in the past few days, so he didn't put too much energy into improving the defense facilities of the military camp.

In the past few days waiting for Feng Dao to bring back the exact news of whether to leave or stay, he focused more on investigating the topography of Bailang Mountain, as well as communicating and comforting the refugees who entered the mountain. In his free time, he also used it to think about how to train these soldiers...

The current defense facilities of the White Wolf Mountain Military Village are extremely crude, and it can be described as almost none.Except for the stone wall stuck between the two mountain walls, there are only a few stone houses on the top of the hills on both sides.The stone wall is very narrow, and no one can stand on it. There are some remaining stone holes on the wall along the inner side of the army village, which were used to build plank roads. According to the distribution of these stone holes, the inner side of the stone wall at that time There should be a wooden plank road where people can stand and several high arrow towers, so that the soldiers can rely on stone walls to guard.But the wooden plank road and the high arrow tower of the past have long since disappeared, and the only thing left is a few decayed wooden boards piled up in the corner of the wall.In other words, this stone wall is just a stone wall now, and it is still a stone wall with a height of only ten feet. At the same time, there is a gap nearly two feet wide on the east side of the stone wall. This is the original military stronghold. Where the gate is located.In this regard, it is similar to when Li Chengzhong was ordered to garrison Yuguan!

If he had known today, he should have put all his heart and soul into repairing the walls and defense facilities. Even if he did it earlier, it would be better than now!At this time, Li Chengzhong was so annoyed that he wanted to die.

The only place that has an advantage is the few stone houses on the mountain walls on both sides of the military village.Compared with the fortress on the side of Yuguan Guancheng, these stone houses are more conducive to defense.The ground where these stone houses are located is much higher than the Yuguan Fortress. Li Chengzhong had a few archers to do a test at that time. There is no killing effect. On the contrary, if the arrow is attacked from top to bottom, it will have no effect at all.Because the terrain here is narrower than Yuguan, the archers on the top of the mountain walls on both sides can hit the target more accurately.This is also the only bright spot in the defense of the entire army stronghold.

"How many people are here?" Li Chengzhong suppressed a little panic in his heart, and asked Wang Dalang pretending to be calm. In order to enhance the effect of this calm, he even deliberately slowed down his speech.After hearing the news, Jiang Miao, Zhang Xingzhong, Zhou Paidao and other major officers and several gang leaders have already surrounded him. He will be the courage of the army. This simple truth is still very clear to Li Chengzhong. If he shows the slightest panic, It will greatly affect the morale of the entire team.

Wang Dalang licked his somewhat dry lips, and said harshly: "There are a lot of people here, probably no less than a thousand people..."

"Have you entered the mountain? Where have you been?" Li Chengzhong asked.

Wang Dalang shook his head: "Not yet, we stopped at the mountain pass. The Khitan bearded man and the kid who came last time were there... I didn't dare to delay, so I came back quickly... I left two brothers at the mountain pass, If there is any further situation, they will rush back to report."

At this time, all the officers above the team leader surrounded Li Chengzhong, and many soldiers who were smarter clenched their swords and guns, looking at this place from all directions.Seeing this, many people also vaguely felt that something was wrong. Although they dared not approach, they all silently watched the crowded small circle.Suddenly, the entire military village fell silent, and the atmosphere seemed extremely tense. …,

what to do?Looking at the brothers who were waiting for his order, looking at the soldiers and civilians who were staring at him, a pair of eyes came together, with expectations, excitement, and more nervousness, anxiety, and bewilderment. Li Chengzhong really took charge of the family on the first day. As the master, he felt the mountain-like pressure, which was so heavy that he almost suffocated.

Is Yizhai sticking to it?Looking at the extremely crude stone wall, Li Cheng felt cool in his heart.According to Wang Dalang, there were no less than a thousand Khitans, but there were only more than 270 soldiers armed with swords and guns, and there were probably less than 200 soldiers who could actually go into battle.Even including the young and strong among the fleeing people, there are less than 500 people, not to mention whether those people will add chaos to the war during the battle, it is even more difficult to say.

Do you "transfer" with the people's strategy?By continuously pulling in a large area in the White Wolf Mountain, let the Khitan people show their flaws in the movement, and then find the weak points to divide and eliminate them?This glorious tactical idea put forward by the great leader before the time travel appeared in Li Chengzhong's mind at the first moment.

Li Chengzhong remembers that when he was serving in the army, the instructor carefully analyzed and summarized the reasons why the Red Army won brilliant victories in the first to fourth anti-encirclement and suppression campaigns in the tutoring class of the party activist training class. To implement this advanced tactical concept, three conditions are required, namely, a base with strategic depth, a team with firm will and capable of running and fighting, and a determination to break through the pots and pans of the family.

Li Chengzhong compared the existing conditions in front of him. After the comparison, he was frustrated and found that he didn't meet any of them.

White Wolf Mountain sounds big, but compared to the red base of the year, it seems a little too small.Not to mention that the whole Bailang mountain area is only twenty miles from east to west, and less than five miles from north to south. It is not easy to cross the Xuanshui that separates the east mountain and the west mountain in the middle.Therefore, the depth that Li Chengzhong can really play is only half.It is not easy to carry out deep penetration in such a small area, not to mention bringing so many people.

As for the team, more than half of the soldiers under him have been trained by him. He believes that the running ability of these soldiers must be much better than those of the Khitans who grew up on horseback. , if you dismount and fight, it's okay, but when it comes to long-distance and persistent running ability, it is definitely not as good as his soldiers.But this kind of strength is also limited. After all, Li Chengzhong's training on their running ability is very basic and the time is very short. Unparalleled charge... The soldiers under him are still far from being able to do it. Li Chengzhong estimated that after running in the mountains for a day, these soldiers are likely to wear themselves down, let alone fighting. As far as the nutritional conditions of these soldiers are concerned, many of them may urinate blood when they run.

In the end, Li Chengzhong couldn't help sighing when he thought about the food and supplies that had just been stored in the cave dwelling, and the fields that had just sprouted green shoots in the back mountain.He really doesn't have the courage and determination of a leader to break his family. These things are the basis for Li Chengzhong's future development, and they are also the hope for the survival of nearly a thousand people under him.If the Khitans were allowed to loot these supplies and destroy those fields, he couldn't imagine what would happen next.It is easy to say that it is necessary to have the courage and determination to defy all difficulties, but Li Chengzhong thought to himself that he really does not have such courage and determination.

All thinking was in the blink of an eye, Li Chengzhong pondered for a while, and then he knew how to choose.He was helpless and had to admit painfully that so far, he had only one choice, the most stupid and most reasonable choice, which was to stay here.Li Chengzhong, who had thought everything through clearly, began to issue orders. This was the first order he had issued since he was truly in charge of the country. …,

Li Chengzhong had never been in contact with power before crossing, and he didn't have much power after crossing until he went to Yuguan. Even if he played a guest role as a "top leader" in Yuguan, it was only according to Zhou Zhiyu's request, within the framework of Zhou Zhiyu's order Issue instructions within.It wasn't until he became the de facto master of the White Wolf Mountain Military Village that he realized that being a leader was really not that easy.Especially under wartime conditions, every order issued is related to the life and death of all soldiers and civilians in Bailang Mountain.He also finally understood why those big men bit every word so carefully and spoke so slowly when they spoke, especially when they gave orders.When Li Chengzhong issued orders, he spoke very slowly and carefully, giving people a feeling of heavyness. It was really heavy. Every sentence weighed on the lives and deaths of thousands of people. Could it not be heavy!

"Jiang Dutou, from now on, you urge the peasants to dig trenches. The trenches are dug on the inside of the stone wall. The height of one person and the width of one foot are required. Except for the gap in the stone wall, all the sections inside the stone wall should be dug out. ..."

"Meng Huochang, Jiao Huochang, you lead the archery team to immediately mark the area outside the stone wall, and request that the ground outside the stone wall be divided into six to nine areas. After marking, each lead a team of archers to board the left and right sides. The mountain walls on both sides are stationed in the stone houses on the top of the walls, and they are tested from top to bottom. The specific requirements are the same as those in Yuguan..."

"Zhang Dutou, you will lead all the spearmen, and each group will form a whole team. It is required to divide the team into two parts, one half is ready for battle, and the other half is on standby. deployment..."

"Zhou Dutou, gather all the sword and shield soldiers, and prepare each group as a team. The fighting method is the same as that of Yuguan..."

"Mr. Zhao, you lead the gang to cook immediately. I want to feed everyone before the war starts... Don't be reluctant to part with those dried meats, take them out... Your brothers should also keep their weapons by their side at all times." , in an emergency, we have to go up and do our best!"

"Feng Sishi, the people are counting on you. You have to transfer them to the back mountain, and try to bring as much food as possible. If the fighter plane here is not going well, go out from the back mountain path and find an opportunity to return to Yuguan..."

At this critical moment, Li Chengzhong's mind suddenly became very clear, and he issued his orders one by one, considering all aspects.In the order, he involuntarily called everyone by his official title, which made everyone feel a sense of awe when they took the order.

After Jiang Miao took the order, he hesitated and asked: "Li Lang... Dutou... When repairing the trench, don't you need to block the gap?"

Li Chengzhong nodded: "Although the gap is the biggest breakthrough for the Khitan people, it is also the only way for us to fight back. If this path is completely blocked, we will have no threat to the Khitan people... At any time, Active defense is the first choice in defense."

When everyone was ordered to leave, Li Chengzhong summoned Zhong Silang to his side, and said in a very solemn tone to this short man who had made military exploits at the head of Yuguan City: "Mr. Zhong, I need at least two hours to do it." Prepare..." As he spoke, he planted a wooden branch on the ground: "Look, the shadow is here now... Before the shadow turns to this position here, the Khitans cannot be allowed to reach the gate of the military camp... Lead your own Brother Hu, rush to the mountain pass quickly, no matter what method you use, try to delay the Khitan people from entering the mountain... Can you do it?"
