Chapter 854 Strengthening the Regiment Organization
"Weapons are not as good as human beings. When we fight, we are heroic. We were lucky in Jingzhou and Yangzhou before. We won successive victories without firearms. But gradually, the enemy became familiar with our fighting methods and carried out With a targeted attack, it will become very difficult for us to win." Xu Ding said.

"Your Majesty is right. The defeats of Yangzhou and Jingzhou illustrate this point. Therefore, we must forge the same weapons as the enemy as soon as possible in order to win."

Guo Jia was very anxious.

This is related to the future of the entire Chinese Empire.

It is related to the people of the world.

Xu Ding walked around the weapons workshop.

Found some problems.

"We don't have the conditions to make new weapons yet, so the weapon workshop has started to make some parts. Will it be useful?" Xu Ding asked.

"it works."

Guo Jia replied: "When our guns are damaged, can we send them back and replace them with our own parts, and they can also be used."

"That can't delay the manufacture of firearms. Although the firearms produced are short-range and not powerful, they are better than swords and shields." Xu Ding walked out of the weapons workshop and said, "Feng Xiao, we can't just wait for the front line to seize weapons , this kind of thinking is very dangerous.”

"In every battle, there are many variables."

"Even if our weapons are worse than the enemy's, we may not be able to win. Do you still dare to hope that we can capture the enemy's weapons when the weapons are not as good as ours?"

"In case the front line is defeated, we don't have any extra weapons in the rear. If we form an army, wouldn't it be easy to capture?"

The question raised by Xu Ding is worthy of vigilance.

For a long time, the officials in the rear thought that the Western Shang Empire was not very strong.You can win even with swords and shields.Because the previous battles of Jingzhou and Yangzhou illustrate this point.

Therefore, many officials did not take the Western Shang Empire seriously.

even
They still don't know the existence of the Western Shang Empire.

They are still discussing where the enemies who appeared in Jiangdong came from.

but.

After Zhuge Liang and Huang Zhong were defeated and Lu Su withdrew from Jingzhou, the ministers all began to wake up.

The fighting power of the Western Merchant Empire was indeed beyond imagination.

But when it comes to making weapons, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are dead-headed.Either make heavy armor and heavy shields, or try to make new weapons, but they can't make them.

Now froze directly.

Go back to Fengtian Hall.

Xu Ding said: "The demand for parts is not very large. Just send a dozen people to manufacture them. From now on, we will do our best to manufacture muskets and grenades. Once the battle ahead is not going well, we will need a lot of firearms. We will manufacture These will come in handy. Also... we need to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the First Army."

"Feng Xiao, where is Lu Su's army? Haven't they withdrawn yet?"

Guo Jia replied: "Five days ago, the Military Aircraft Department received a letter from Lu Su. He has led the army and retreated to Nanyang County. He also asked Cheng Pu to lead an army to fight in Xiangyang, slowing down the formation of the enemy army. Let Huang Gai Guarding Fancheng. Gan Ning guarding Neijiang. Now Lu Su should go to Wancheng. Your Majesty wants to call him back?"

"Yes. The first group army has too few troops and is weak. It must be strengthened." Xu Ding thought for a while and said, "Give all the troops in Jingzhou to Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Gan Ning, and let them guard Xiangyang, Fancheng, Nanyang. Let Lu Su lead the rest of the troops back to Xuchang, and I will strengthen the strength of the first group army."

"In addition, let the sharp knives and shields stationed in Luoyang be transferred back to half of the troops. From Guan Yu's Hebei Field Army and the local armies of Hebei provinces, another 2 people will be transferred to Yan to join the First Army."

"how do you feel?"

Guo Jia waved his hands again and again: "Your Majesty, this is not acceptable."

"Before the formation of the Second Army, Hebei's troops have already been mobilized. Now the states in Hebei are also struggling. They all rely on Guan Yu to guard them. Once the strength of the Hebei Field Army is weakened, wouldn't it be..."

"You don't understand what I mean." Xu Ding said with a light smile: "Our current army is already slowly changing. Cold weapons will be replaced with hot weapons. Once the weapons workshop produces a large number of muskets, they can be equipped for the Hebei Field Army. Do they still need tens of thousands of troops to guard the place? I think 1 is enough. Guan Yu should have [-] troops now. If I transfer back more than [-] troops, it will not affect the overall situation."

"Don't forget, Cheng Yu and Lu Bu are still in Youzhou."

Guo Jia thought about it carefully.

If the Hebei field army and the local army in Hebei can be replaced with muskets, the combat effectiveness will be several times stronger than it is now.

It can be defended with fewer troops.

"In order to enhance the combat capability of the First Army Group on the main battlefield, it is imperative to appropriately weaken the defenders in Hebei. Don't argue with me, Feng Xiao, just follow what I say."

"Yes."

Guo Jia muttered in his heart.

He was asked for his opinion just now, but now it is enforced.

But he has accepted the decision from the bottom of his heart.

vertical day.

Xu Ding selected the Fenglin Huoshan Special Forces, the commander of the unit.

He is the son of Jia Xu, Jia Heng.

Jia Heng, 19 years old, 1.9 meters tall.

Among all special forces, he is considered very tall.

but.

He was chosen as the commander of the special forces not because of his height.

Instead, Jia Heng graduated from the Military Academy with the best grades.

He was originally placed in the Second Army, and he should be a figure at the division commander level.

But considering that there is no one to choose the commander of the special forces, Xu Ding detained him.

also.

Jia Heng is Jia Xu's eldest son. Jia Xu is loyal to the Chinese Empire and is the commander-in-chief of the Second Army. Jia Heng must not be far behind.

Xu Ding was relieved to hand over the special forces to him.

But now there is a problem.

Jia Heng had never participated in training, so he would be looked down upon by the special forces if he took over the special forces unit rashly.They were selected because they had undergone rigorous training.

He almost died while surviving in the wild.

And now, Jia Heng descended from the sky and became their commander.

Who will be convinced?

In order to change this situation.

Xu Ding let Jia Heng also receive training.

And let the special forces members be responsible for training him.

All training subjects are decided by them.

in this way
The special forces were very excited.

I was promised to train before, and I was tossing and dying, but now I finally have the opportunity to train others.Moreover, he is Jia Xu's son and their commander in the future.

If you want to become a commander, you have to accept their tests.

From this moment on.

Jia Heng joined the special forces unit and began a month-long assault training.

During this period.

The defense of Xuzhou started.

Lu Su also rushed back from Nanyang County.

"Your Majesty, please see Mr. Lu Su." Dian Wei said outside the room.

"Let him in."

Lu Su walked into the imperial study, cupped his hands and said, "I see Your Majesty."

"Sir, you don't need to be too polite." Xu Ding asked, "I don't know how the first group army is doing now?"

Lu Su replied: "According to His Majesty's will, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Gan Ning have been left in Nanyang. They have more than 3 troops and can hold out for a while. I led more than [-] troops and returned to Xuchang. "

"There are so few troops." Xu Ding originally wanted to form ten divisions like the Second Army.Now it seems that it is difficult to form five divisions.

"Sir, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Lu Su sat down.

Xu Ding said: "I intend to strengthen the strength of the First Army, do you have any good suggestions?"

Lu Su said: "Is Your Majesty worried about the lack of troops?"

"Ah."

"I have tens of thousands of soldiers. You can give them to Your Majesty, depending on whether Your Majesty is willing to accept them." Lu Su said with a smile.

"Tens of thousands of soldiers?"

Xu Ding asked anxiously, "Where is it?"

"In Nanyang. Before my lord, General Sun Jian, surrendered. The troops who returned from the defeat in Jiangdong retreated to Jingzhou one after another. They were only transferred to Nanyang a few days ago. Their equipment is very poor, and they have no combat mission. They also captured Cao Jun Xu Huang's troops, all together, are no less than 5000. If His Majesty is willing to include them in the First Army, three to four divisions can be formed."

Xu Ding didn't realize until now that Sun Jian's troops hadn't been reorganized yet.

Although there were not many people who captured Xu Huang, they were also a help.

They can play a big role in this shortage of troops.

Xu Ding hardly thought about it, and said: "Recall them all to Xuchang, and when our troops from all over the country arrive, they will be incorporated into the first group army sequence."

"Yes."

Lu Su was delighted.

Of the Jiangdong Army who surrendered to the Huaxia Empire, only he and Lu Xun were reused.

One was the commander of the First Army.

One is the division chief of staff of the Second Army, commanding tens of thousands of troops on the front line.

Lu Su had long received a request from Jiangdong's old army, wanting him to intercede with Xu Ding so that the Jiangdong army's old army could also join the Huaxia National Army.

Lu Su never found a chance.

It finally came out today.

did not expect.

Xu Ding readily agreed to his request.

Or rather, agreed to his suggestion.

"Let's do it, the sooner the better." Xu Ding said.

"Yes."

Lu Su got up and left.

Xuzhou.

Pengcheng.

Jia Xu rushed to Pengcheng with the second army.

Prepare to join Tai Shici's troops.

but.

The battle situation was not as good as he imagined.

Tai Shici's 3 horses were being attacked by the enemy and were trapped in Xiaogushan.

Xiaogushan, as the name suggests, is a very small lonely mountain.

There is no water source around.

Once trapped, you will be in a desperate situation.

Da da da.
Flew a ride from the official road in the distance.

He ran up to Jia Xu, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhi, General Tai Shici's army was besieged in Xiaogushan, and they are being besieged by the main force of the enemy."

"Where is General Tai Shici's army? Are they all on the mountain? Or?"

Jia Xu had a bad feeling.

If Tai Shici still had an army, how could he only be beaten and not fight back?

If the third column is seriously injured, the system is disabled.
The losses of the Second Army will be unprecedented.

"General Tai Shici's troops are all on the mountain. The cavalry camped fifteen miles away." The scout replied.

"so far so good.."

Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

He got it.

Tai Shici was worried that he would not be able to defeat the army of the Western Shang Empire and cause a large number of casualties.Therefore, the infantry was stationed on the mountain, condescending to hold on.Dispatch all the cavalry, on the one hand, it can threaten the enemy's flank, and on the other hand, it can avoid a frontal conflict with the enemy.

This has reduced many casualties, but it is too useless.

"Go and order the cavalry of the third column to join me and attack the enemy together," Jia Xu said.

"As ordered."

Jia Xu led the army and advanced twenty li.

in this period.

He sent a large number of scouts to go out to find out the news.

Tai Shici's more than [-] cavalry came around.

clap clap clap.
Gunshots came from the east.

The fight was extremely fierce.

Jia Xu recruited his generals to discuss countermeasures.

Due to the urgency of the matter, he did not discuss it with the generals, but showed a map and said: "The enemy is besieging Xiaogushan with fourteen brigades, and their strength is far greater than that of Tai Shici."

"In addition, General Tai Shici sent the cavalry elsewhere, which made Xiaogushan weak."

"We must organize a battle as soon as possible to repel the enemy and rescue General Tai Shici."

At this time, Jia Xu pointed to the map and said: "I just looked carefully, and the enemy's defensive positions are very extensive. And the terrain around Xiaogu Mountain is relatively flat, which is suitable for our cavalry to gallop."

"I decided."

"Divide the cavalry into two groups and attack from the north and the south. All our infantry, from west to east, form an oppressive feint against the enemy. The three sides are reasonable and defeat the enemy."

In order to save time, Jia Xu directly made arrangements.

Xu Huang led the cavalry of the first column to the north.

Zhang Liao led the cavalry of the second and third columns to the south.

All the infantry, following Jia Xu, launched a fierce attack from the west.

After half an hour.

All troops in place.

Jia Xu was about to order an attack.

However.
Before he gave the order, news came from the front that the enemy withdrew to the east.

"Withdrawn?"

Jia Xu thought for a while, and ordered: "Order all the troops not to attack rashly. All troops, move closer to Pengcheng. Let General Tai Shici also withdraw from Xiaogu Mountain. It is a very unfavorable terrain, so we must not stay for a long time."

"promise."

Under Jia Xu's deployment, all the troops stayed in place for another half an hour.After the enemy leaves, go to Pengcheng immediately.

Pengcheng has been captured by the enemy.

But Pengcheng's terrain is not very good, and it is easy to be surrounded by cavalry.

Jia Xu stabbed, with [-] cavalry, extremely mobile.

Once Pengcheng was surrounded, the enemy would not even have a chance to evacuate.

therefore.

Knowing that Jia Xu was approaching Pengcheng, a brigade stationed there quickly withdrew from the city.

Go to the east for twenty miles and join the large army.

Inside Pengcheng.

Fuzhong.

After Tai Shici came back, he returned to Jia Xu.

To be honest, he is very shameless.

When he saw Jia Xu, he kept his head down, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I didn't fight this battle well, I hope you will punish me."

"It's true that you didn't fight well. But you still have credit for being able to keep the main force of the third column in an unfavorable situation. Even if your merits and demerits are equal."

Jia Xu did not punish Tai Shici.

He is now employing people, and he has punished Tai Shici, who will lead the third column.

Moreover, it is not bad for Tai Shici to use his troops cautiously.

In the next battle, using troops cautiously may be the way to victory.
