Cannons sounded.

One after another.

From the city gate to the Wengcheng, within a range of 1000 meters, it took a full half an hour.

Soldiers within this range suffered 70.00% casualties.

Fortunately, Lu Su, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, etc. were well hidden, otherwise they would not have escaped the fate of being bombed.

"The bombing lasted for half an hour. Tens of thousands of shells should have been used. The Western Shang Empire is really rich, so it doesn't hurt to bomb like this." Xu Ding smiled and said, "If we also have these shells, are we worried about not being able to win?"

"They're retaliating."

"Your Majesty, don't worry about it. We will fight back after they finish blowing up." Lu Su said.

"You must defend it. As Zilong said, if you defend for three days, the enemy will retreat!"

"Yes."

Xu Ding handed over the task of defending the city to Lu Su, Cheng Pu, and Huang Gai.

Then return to the city guard mansion.

The enemy shells bombed for half an hour, and then violently attacked the city.

They entered the city smoothly.

But when he reached Wengcheng, he was stopped by Cheng Pu.

Huang Gai came out from the urn city with hundreds of elite soldiers, and fought the enemy at close range.

a big battle.

The enemy is knocked back again.

Yuzhou.

Yingchuan County.

Jia Xu returned to Xuchang City.

He was very anxious and urged the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Officials to quickly form a new army.

"Zhicai, how many troops do you have now?" Jia Xu took a memorial and went to the military plane.

Xi Zhicai smiled wryly, "Mr. He, how many times do you run a day?"

"The battle on the front line is difficult, and I want to form a new army earlier."

"Difficult? I don't think so?" Xi Zhicai said: "From the moment the enemy invaded, all I received were good news. Your Majesty defeated 7 enemy troops in Jingnan and fought all the way to Nanchang. Zhuge Liang also fought in Yangzhou. Streak. By my count, more than [-] people have been wiped out."

"Ugh."

Jia Xu sat down and said: "What you see are superficial phenomena. We have only just begun to fight against the Western Shang Empire. With the advantage of close combat, it is not surprising that we have the upper hand for a while. Once time goes by, they Once we are familiar with this method of warfare, it will be very difficult for us to win. In the final analysis, we still need powerful weapons and a new type of army that is good at fighting."

Xi Zhicai said: "I don't believe what you said. But I have already prepared half of the soldiers you want. They are all transferred from the Guannei and the Central Plains states. About [-] people can be reorganized into the new army."

"Zhicai, you need to speed up. The front line is waiting for soldiers."

"No matter how urgent you are, you have to wait." Xi Zhicai said, "Let me tell you the truth. You have to wait a month for the remaining troops to be transferred from Hebei."

"so long."

"It's already very fast. And, you have to understand our difficulties." Xi Zhicai said: "You first reorganize the 4 people, and when the follow-up soldiers arrive, you add them in. Isn't it the same. "

"Ok."

Jia Xu also had a hard time seeing Zhicai in the theater, so he didn't force him.

4 people are better than nothing.

this day.

Jia Xu held a swearing-in meeting at the Xuchang school grounds.

All soldiers are there.

Jia Xu stood on the command platform, facing the army, holding a notebook in his hand, and said: "Our Second Army originally planned to need 10 people. But now there are not enough troops, so we can only form [-]. The remaining insufficient troops will be Make it up in a month."

"Even if the number of soldiers is insufficient, our army must have a complete organizational system. That is, each column originally planned to have 3 people, but now there are only [-]. The strength since then will be added slowly."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu glanced at the generals in front of him, opened his notebook and read: "Jia Xu is the commander-in-chief of the second group army. Cui Yan, chief of the general staff. Xu Huang, commander of the first column. Zhang Liao, commander of the second column. Tai Shici, commander of the third column. Ma Chao, commander of the cavalry column. Approved by the commander of the artillery column."

All the generals whose names were read stepped forward.

Jia Xu presented them with commissions, short guns, and new military uniforms.

Everything is carried out according to the model of the Western Shang Empire.

Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Ma Chao, and Shen Pei are generals with real power.

In addition, there are hundreds of division, brigade, and regiment-level generals.

Each unit has its own flag.

From the first regiment to 1 regiment.

From the first brigade to the No.30 brigade.

Although there are many numbers, they are assigned in an orderly manner.

After the flag ceremony.

Jia Xu called everyone into the tent of the Chinese army.

"How do you feel about the new army?" Jia Xu sat down and asked.

The generals are all arranging their clothes.

Tai Shici smiled and said, "It's a bit weird, I like that armor better." At this moment, everyone looked at Ma Chao.The entire new army, only Ma Chao and his troops, did not change their clothes.Still wearing the original armor.

Jia Xu said: "The combat concept of the new army is different from our previous troops. It pays attention to new tactics such as positional warfare and mobile warfare. You must understand these. In the next month, I will talk to you seniors. General, do a simple teaching so that you can understand how to lead the new army to fight."

"From tomorrow, every night, after dinner, come to the Ministry of War to find me. Everyone must bring paper and pen. Every word I say must be carefully recorded."

"Have you heard all of them?"
