Horse on the World

Chapter 61 Military Discussion
The battle in Fuyuan was temporarily suspended, but both Li Qing and Shang Haibo judged that Wanyan Bulu would definitely come back in a short time, so Fuyuan seemed even busier, and the fortress had to be rebuilt. They did not carry heavy siege equipment, but still caused a lot of damage to the fortress, especially the two guard fortresses. When the tribal coalition forces left, they were almost burned to the ground by a fire. If they need to be rebuilt, they can be reused. There are only its solid foundation and unburnt green bricks and stones.

The inside of the fortress is almost in ruins, and the things that can be used to defend the city have basically been demolished. Some households have even removed the roof tiles from the roof, and moved them to the top of the city and threw them down. There are too many casualties. There are always miserable cries, and some families are almost dead.

Reconstruction, pensions, appeasement, this series of things finally got a great relief after Lu Yiming took office. These basically happened in Chongxian County. It saved a lot of effort, and in a short time, it calmed down.

After Feng Guo rushed to Fuyuan with [-] soldiers from his right wing, he joined Wang Qinian in rebuilding the fortress. Figure out Wanyan Bulu's next deployment in the shortest possible time.

The wounded soldiers, the Craftsman Battalion, and the Statistics and Investigation Department led by Qingfeng were all moved to the Fuyuan Fortress.Now the wounded soldiers are overcrowded, not only the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion who were injured in this battle, but also the people who participated in the defense of the Fuyuan Fortress. , Li Qing ordered him to teach the wounded soldiers some basic temporary treatment skills, otherwise he would not be able to finish this mountain of work even if he was exhausted.

Under the leadership of Ren Ruyun, the Craftsman Battalion mainly repaired damaged weapons. After the battle, nearly half of the [-] chariots were damaged, and they had to be repaired in a short time so that they could be put into use in the next battle.After this battle, Li Qing saw very clearly that if his cavalry confronted the grassland elite head-on, they would not be opponents, and could only rely more on infantry. As long as infantry was well-armored and commanded properly, they could completely resist the cavalry head-on shock.Xu Xiaodao from the craftsman camp did not follow, he is currently frantically experimenting with the forging method of fine iron, and Ren Ruyun said that he has become possessed.

The two guard fortresses have completely abandoned their previous structures and used the bastion designed by Li Qing instead. With experience in building the Jimingze bastion, the construction speed has been greatly increased at this time, which is similar to the Jimingze bastion. Reminiscing, the two fortresses in Fuyuan only had a greatly increased construction area.The left and right fortresses were under construction at the same time, and after more than ten days, they took shape.It is estimated that the construction will be completed in about ten days. The completed bastion will require nearly 200 fewer people than the previous fortress, but if we really talk about its strength and effectiveness against the enemy, it will be several times stronger. grade.

Wang Qichu, Feng Guo, Shang Haibo and others thought about countless offensive and defensive plans when Li Qinggang came up with the design of the bastion. The conclusion was that to break the bastion, the price to be paid was several times higher than that of ordinary fortresses. "If the opponent also has this kind of fortress and has enough troops to defend it, I will never go for a hard attack. This is completely thankless. This kind of fortress is completely a meat grinder." Shang Haibo said decisively .

Qingfeng's reputation in the Changsheng Camp is not obvious, and even among the senior management of the Changsheng Camp, people don't know much about her. Not only did everyone become more and more afraid of this special department, but according to Li Qing's order, each wing of the Changsheng Battalion was equipped with an intelligence team, but the members of this team were all from the Investigation and Statistics Department. He has no right to interfere in his personnel affairs, but he can ask him to provide various information.This is just a manpower on the surface. In the dark, no one knows how many people the Investigation and Statistics Department has hidden in the army. He may be an ordinary soldier under his command, or a postmaster Guochang.

From the initial ignorance to the later fear, many stories happened in the middle, the most talked about is the cavalier Yi Yichang, the captain of Zhenwu Jiang Kui, in Chong County, he fell in love with a woman, often At night, I went to the woman's place to stay overnight. Except for his personal guards, everyone was kept in the dark until one day, Li Qing summoned him and took out a report, which listed Feng Guo's monthly report. On a certain day and at a certain time to that woman's house, when to leave.Several times a month, the data was very detailed, which caused Feng Guo to make a big fuss. Finally, under Li Qing's order, Feng Guo married the woman to calm down the matter.

The second is about gambling with leaf cards. Wang Qinian, Jiang Kui, Feng Guo and others plan to hack Guo Shanfeng, so they make an appointment to play cards with Guo Shanfeng. The generals have always had a layer of inexplicable estrangement. Although they want to improve their relationship, Guo Shanfeng is also an arrogant character, and he is also shameless. When he heard that the three were invited to play cards, he thought it was a good opportunity. , then came over excitedly, before the third shift, not only lost all the money on his body, but also lost the money for the next two years, and the mountain wind also got angry, with his arms bare and his eyes red. Wang Qinian borrowed money with a high interest rate of [-] cent per day, and wanted to make money and fight again. At this time, Li Qing suddenly sent someone to send Wang Qinian a letter, not only did the three secretly discuss and plot against Shanfeng After the matter was told, they even explained clearly how they played tricks on the card. The three of Wang Qinian, who broke out in a cold sweat, stopped immediately, and not only returned the silver to Guo Shanfeng, but also treated him to a good meal. After drinking, after this incident, the relationship between the few of them has been harmonized a lot, but when they think of the secretive work of the Investigation and Statistics Department, they are all sweating profusely.

From then on, when Feng Guo and others saw Qingfeng, they seemed to have seen a ghost, and they avoided it in fear.But the three of them were unlucky and often met Qingfeng. Whenever they saw Qingfeng's thin, smiling and pretty face in some meetings, the three of them would secretly call out in their hearts, femme fatale.The horrible woman who caused these things can only be tolerated by the general. The three of them often have their own stomachs. Regarding the private affairs between the general and the femme fatale, the senior leaders of the Changsheng Camp often speculate in their hearts, but no one dares to say it. If this femme fatale knew about it, if she would get her to write it in the report several times in the evening, she would lose her life.

The Changsheng Camp holds a regular meeting every five and ten every month, and all the participants report the progress of matters within their scope of authority and the difficulties they encounter, and Li Qing will coordinate and deal with them on the spot. Today is exactly the 25th, and the regular meeting of the Changsheng Camp Held normally.

Of course, the military is the current focus. After the several lieutenants of the commanding army spoke one by one, Qingfeng opened the file in front of her, and first glanced at the audience before starting to speak. The generals she swept away felt chills in their necks. Whoosh, after carefully thinking back and confirming that I have been following the rules and disciplines for a while, I finally feel at ease.

"General, Mr. Shang, County Magistrate Lu, all captains." Qingfeng's pleasant voice sounded in everyone's ears, "The Investigation and Statistics Department confirmed that after the defeat of Fuyuan, the barbarian Zuoxiao Wang Wanyan Bulu was on the garrison. Linli reconvened the nearby ministries to prepare to attack Fuyuan again. So far, more than ten small tribes have been summoned, and more than [-] troops have been assembled. Everyone needs to pay attention to that the opponent has prepared sufficient large-scale siege equipment this time. The Investigation and Statistics Department confirmed that the other side will attack Fuyuan again in mid-June.”

"Secondly, the barbarian chief Shan Yu Bayar began to transport supplies to the forest, and collected food, grass and military equipment. It can be confirmed that the other party is preparing for a large-scale invasion in the future. As for the tribes that Bayar may attack this time, it is not yet confirmed. If it can effectively assemble the five tribes of the barbarians, its strength may reach 20, which is the largest number of troops assembled by the barbarians over the years."

"Why can the barbarians gather so many troops this time?" Shang Haibo asked.

Qingfeng nodded to Shang Haibo: "A good question from the military adviser. For a long time, the barbarians have had a big enemy outside the Congling Pass, that is, the Shiwei people. But just this year, the Shiwei people's sweat died suddenly, and internal strife broke out in the clan. In order to compete for Khan, several of the most powerful princes fought on their own. Before the internal strife among the Shiwei people stopped, they had no spare power to pose a threat to Congling Pass. Therefore, Bayar could send the five coalition forces from Congling Guan withdrew and threw himself into the battle against us."

"That is to say, this time Dingzhou will face an unprecedented crisis." Shang Haibo said.

"That's right, the day the five allied forces of Congling Pass arrive will be the time for their massive attack." Qingfeng closed the folder in front of him. "Finally, I would like to talk about the internal affairs of our army. In the past month, there have been 25 incidents of fights between Lieutenant Wang and Lieutenant Jiang in our army. A total of 75 people were injured and entered the wounded barracks."

The eyes of all the people in the meeting turned to the two school captains. Wang Qinian and Jiang Kui's faces gradually turned red, purple, and white. It's just a little conflict among the boys below, isn't it Jiang Kui?"

Jiang Kui nodded again and again, "That's right, that's right, they are too outrageous. After we go down, we must reaffirm military discipline. If something like this happens, we will definitely punish them severely."

Li Qing glanced at them coldly, "Military discipline is the most unrelenting thing in an army. Those who participated in the beating were all rewarded with [-] army sticks. Those wounded soldiers were sent first, and they were beaten after their injuries recovered. Now When the enemy is at hand, it is time to sail together with the same boat, and each wing must not slack off in the slightest."

"Yes!" The two captains responded loudly.In fact, there is no major conflict between the two armies, but this time the two armies performed well in the battle against Wanyan Bulu. After the battle, they will inevitably brag. How good Qi Yi is, after each of them got into a stalemate, they naturally had to fight their fists to see the truth.Li Qing didn't really take it seriously, but everything should be on guard against the passing of time, and if there were conflicts between the two armies, it would not be a good thing for the future cooperation of infantry and cavalry.
