After daybreak, Zhu Cun, who had eaten steamed pancakes with fish stuffing, crushed bean soup, grilled fish and other seasonal early meals with the soldiers on duty in the camp, also came to a large building several meters high outside the west gate of Guangling City. On the soil platform; and on the four sides of the soil platform, many battlement-like bunkers have been surrounded by willow frames and straw bags for soil.
And under a simple siding signal tower that serves as the command center before the formation, the left and right rows of Hu beds (Maza) placed in the open air are the site of the daily pre-array meeting; Hou Ying came forward and reported in a low voice:
"The night battle has been counted out... Four hundred and fifty-three abandoned corpses were found before each stage. In addition, there were no captures and no wounded. They were suspected to be executed on the spot or retreated with them..."
"After on-the-spot investigation and inspection of the corpses, it was found that only a few had calluses on the tiger's mouth, back of hands and elbows. Armor and body armor were mostly old things. The preliminary judgment was another round of harassing feints..."
"In addition, there were more than a hundred people in the city last night to swim in the dark from the east waterway, but they were captured and killed by traps, cables, and barriers. According to the traces of their footprints, only a dozen people were able to survive. Diving across the boundary, the cruising team is now fully pursuing it."
And Zhu Cun, who was sitting in Hu **, nodded slightly to express affirmation only occasionally. Afterwards, the many generals and military officials who were present one after another also spontaneously sat down in a low voice, but with the little spare time before the morning meeting, they chatted with the left and right.
"I don't understand, why do I have to leave this hole specially and let go of some fish that have slipped through the net at random?"
"If this is not the case, how can the city rush out to die again and again?"
"Isn't this the Yang Mouhu who cuts meat with a blunt knife? As long as there is a chance in my heart, I won't stop easily..."
"What's more, those people in the city want to harass constantly and make the army exhausted by this, but they don't know the truth about what is right?"
"Our army has its own regulations, those blocks, trenches and pits, foot lottery, as well as the gypsophila buried in the ground, and the quick gunners on the sentry posts, aren't they prepared for this?"
"As long as it is just right in front of the formation, and the formation is not messed up, even if there are many people in the city, it is not enough to send them here for death!"
"Then you are not afraid of these fish slipping through the net, do you have any trouble for the rear? Since you are willing to take risks, I am afraid that they are not all of the stupid and stubborn die-hards."
"In fact, how many can really miss this night, ten or eight, or more than ten?"
"The governor's house has been in the Jiangbei prefectures for more than a month to advance the reform and elimination of the law; even if it can escape a few remnants, it will hide and echo without the foundation of the country; what is the difference from the ordinary gangsters and bandits?"
"On the contrary, it is the remnants of those who fled back. There is a chance that the dissidents who are hiding and dormant in the countryside will be hooked out. That is the way for the anti-rebellion committee and the preparatory department to get once and for all and long-lasting peace and stability!"
At this time, Zhu Cun had also finished listening to the briefing, and slowly raised his head and looked around, looking around, and the buzzing on the spot was suddenly clear. Then his eyes finally fell on Du Wei Luo Nian sitting in the front row, and the other party quickly got up and arched his hands:
"Enlightenment, these days, the shooting teams have been very effective in suppressing and deterring the city..."
"Especially when the soil platforms and high fortifications in front of the city gates are completed piece by piece, the defenders at the head of the city are even more unbearable to shoot at our army..."
"Even if you guard the enemy overnight, don't repair the big tree, protect the plate, etc., secretly cover it behind the city disc, thinking that it is a means of cover and avoidance..."
"Subsequently, our department also changed its course and focused on good shooters to carry out cold-hearted harassment operations. A group of several people took turns to hide on the platform to fight against the generals who were outcropping in the city..."
"Later, it was discovered in the battle that the bow and crossbow guarding the enemy at the head of the city were neither as far as our firearms nor as thorough as the firearms. So the firearms team focused on attacks and harassment, and the enemy was unable to counteract it for a while... "
"So, after so many days and nights of repeated attacks and harassment, there have been no defenders on the city's head who dared to show up for a long time... Among them, a group of gunners with all hands and eyes have emerged and discovered. ..."
"Therefore, please still be allocated more equipment and ammunition, thinking that we will continue to do our best!"
"Firearm medicine can be sufficient, and the scale of strikes can be expanded, but the direct artillery team should not act rashly for the time being..."
Zhu Cun nodded and said. Then, another school lieutenant from the combat engineering group reported:
"The headquarter's hydrological exploration around Guangling City, together with the attempted excavation under the city, once again made breakthroughs and discoveries..."
"Request to rebuild a dike at the crevice of Tianchang Lake in order to intercept it and further lower the groundwater level in Guangling City;"
"As long as the surface waterline is lowered below the mouth of a few outflow canals in the north of the city, the headquarters can carry out further engineering operations to dig the dark trenches into the moat..."
"Preliminary estimates, we can try to make the low-lying water gates and gates in the east of the city have enough gaps and gaps..."
"Then first come up with a detailed plan, compile the required manpower and material input, carefully explore and demarcate the operation area, but don't rush to start work and gather manpower, so as not to make the city aware of any clues. It’s not beautiful if you are wary and coping with the wind..."
When Zhu Cun heard this, he made a decision again: and the military medical officer accompanying the camp reported the relative health of the new army, as well as the proportion and number of the wounded and sick who have accumulated over a long period of time. The situation of the transportation and storage of materials from Jiangdong and upstream areas within a ten-year report of the grain; the rotating material officer will report the daily base of equipment and material consumption in the army. . . . .
However, looking at these meticulous or serious, young and strong faces occupying most of the faces, Zhu Cun was unavoidably surprised. Because there are only a few familiar faces that can be called nicknames, and there are not many figures and existences of old men in them.
In other words, most of these people are no longer able to keep up with the rapid development of the Taiping Army because of the old pattern of the body or the limitations of their own temperament; so naturally they are more powerful and more powerful. They are replaced by talented, energetic and energetic young newcomers, and gradually retreat to the second and third line positions, or simply be raised by Rong and have a good life for the rest of their lives.
Of course, in a sense, Zhu Cun also has similar hidden worries and sense of crisis. Although according to private rumors, as one of the few high-ranking officers of the Taiping Army, he already possesses the qualifications to set up a government. Although he usually served by many servants and had a few doormen who assisted in handling paperwork, he didn't bring any of them when he went out this time.
Now, those who can stay with him are only a few soldiers who have followed for many years as a screen guard, and some young people who have been selected from the military to walk and run errands. As for the daily training of food and equipment, disciplinary inspections, rewards and punishments, transfers; generals and officers who have corresponding positions and affiliations are shared; and many responsibilities of supporting military aircraft are assigned by the staff and military personnel appointed by the Metropolitan Governor’s Office. Take it up.
Therefore, he, a general of the general army, only needs to take charge of the command of the enemy's operations, delegate and supervise the specific tasks of these subordinates, and use this to master the battlefield situation and other major functions. At least compared to the traditional master, Zhu Cun’s claim for responsibility here is undoubtedly relatively easy and much less troublesome.
In fact, during this process, it was not that no one planned to vote with him, or even follow him to form a team that opened his own government and build teeth; however, Zhu Cun refused to give him a righteous word. The so-called is what he said: "Fanzhen is the root of the chaos in the world for two hundred years. Since the Taiping Army wants to calm the world and recreate the prosperity of Qingping, we should set an example and do something about it, how can we reopen it? What about this precedent?"
Therefore, in this rare Huainan Raiders, he also vaguely felt that he might become a weather vane because of this, and even created a brand new military command mode and corresponding war operation system for future generations. . (End of this chapter)
