Chapter 941

The sun was shining brightly, and people were everywhere on the mountain road between Zizhou and Huangming County.

The medical team and logistics team moving forward, the civilians and wounded sent from the battlefield in Huangming County, the soldiers of the communication team running forward and backward to communicate... All kinds of figures filled the winding road, the sound of orders, Weeping and shouting came together.

"Each team moves on to the right! Right! Right! Fellow, this is the right, let's give-"

The red armbands responsible for directing traffic shouted in the middle of the road, barely maintaining the smoothness of the entire passage.

In the process of coming and going, the soldiers who have already undergone various trainings do not have much pressure to command.The most difficult to command is of course the civilians who were withdrawn from the battlefield in Huangming County. They experienced the most terrifying scene in their lives. Many people had blood on their bodies, and they may have experienced the impact of the death of their family members. Some people were confused. Walking forward, I couldn't hear anything. Occasionally someone stumbled to meet the opposing team. After being touched, they fell on the ground and cried.

The red armbands who are responsible for dredging will have to direct someone to help them back to the team in a timely manner.

In a few cases, these irrational people even quarreled loudly with others, and at this time, only some coercive measures could be taken.It's inhumane, but it's naturally necessary right now.

Since various plans have been made in advance, although there are various frictions at this time, the big delay that delays things has never happened once.

After all, the road from Huangming County to Zizhou is relatively easy to go.The Jurchen traveled from Jiange to Huangming County, and naturally encountered more troubles.In the comparison of various plans made by the Huaxia Army Staff Department, the smaller number of people still took advantage of the traffic.

In the open field near the middle of the road, the camp tents responsible for taking in civilians stretched out.

The civilians of the Wu Dynasty who survived the battlefield in Huangming County came here, and the first thing they accepted was custody and isolation. During this process, a large number of propagandists were arranged in the Huaxia Army to give them a meeting to give a lecture first, and let them identify first. It is possible that some of the Jurchen spies in the crowd will be filtered in this way before being sent to the rear settlement.

Among the hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder, as long as the Jurchen generals have a little IQ, they will be mixed with spies. Most of these spies are also members of the Han army who surrendered to the Jurchen.Their attitude is vague and it is difficult to choose. If the Huaxia Army has the upper hand, they are even willing to join this side, but in the bounty offered by the Jurchen and changes in the external situation, these people will also be time bombs that may jump out at any time. .

Anyway, the lives of the Han army are worthless, and the people who are casually stuffed into an army and sent to the opposite side will only have a headache for the enemy.

If I were a bad guy, I would definitely do this—although Ning Yi has always been a good person, Ning Yi is quite knowledgeable about this kind of thing.

"...On the battlefield of Huang Ming, Tua Lisu launched a full-scale attack around the middle of the afternoon... With Meng Anwu Litan as the vanguard, he led a thousand people to the city. After the siege failed, it was difficult for this thousand people to retreat. , Tu Li Susui ordered the Han army to launch a general attack on the front line, and the frontal attack was blocked by the artillery regiment, causing heavy casualties..."

There was a watchtower standing high on the peak next to the avenue, and Ning Yi and the patrolling team climbed all the way up.Looking forward from the mountain here, the end of the rolling sea of ​​trees in Huangming County is faintly visible. There are still smoke pillars rising in the depths of the mountains—the mountain fire is still spreading—Xu Shaoyuan of the Secretariat recounted yesterday’s battle.

"...In order to rescue the Wulitan team, Ba Lisu launched three large-scale attacks and ordered to fire on civilians, disrupting the entire battlefield situation. Under this wave of offensives, the Jurchens approached the city wall of Huangming County again and climbed the city. The battle caused some damage... The news from Commander Pang is that on the 25th, our army suffered only a hundred casualties, and most of them were caused by the boulders and bombs they threw."

"...The casualties of the Jurchen troops are conservatively estimated to be more than 5000 people. After three rounds of saturated shelling in the first part, there was a large-scale rout. The Jurchen military law team also killed some people. Boom civilians..."

"One to fifty!" Ning Xi in the team couldn't hide her excitement when she heard the number, and Ning Yi smiled slightly: "Most of the dead are Yu Xian's Han army."

Li Yi, the chief of staff at the side, nodded at this time: "Wu Litan is an elite Jurchen, and he has a plan to attack the city with a quick order, but most of Pang Luan's veterans can't take any advantage when they go to the city. Look. When he arrived at this scene, Ba Lisu immediately ordered the Han army and other affiliated units to conduct a saturated attack, and then bombarded the civilians on the battlefield, disrupting the situation. First, let the elite troops of Wuritan retreat in troubled waters, and second, he was To test the lethality of the cannons on the city walls."

When Li Yi said this, he looked at Ning Xi: "There is a key idea in this, can you see Ning Xi?"

Ning Xi frowned and thought for a moment, "They, they... can accept such a loss?"

"...It shows that they didn't despise us." Ning Yi sighed and patted the child on the shoulder, "The Jurchens have fought for 30 years, and in their own psychology, they should feel that they are the strongest in the world The army. With such a mentality, they would theoretically not accept excessive battle losses. Using a vanguard general like Uritan for the first wave of attacks is a reflection of this mentality. If everything is normal, Uritan’s troops will Stand firm on the city wall, Huangming County should be breached in 25 days."

"But such a situation did not occur. Pulling out the speed immediately let the cannon fodder of the Han army charge forward, and then launched three consecutive waves of offensive, pushing the battlefield attack to saturation, and later, without using the main force elite, after paying huge casualties... ...indicates that at least in the eyes of the Jurchen army leaders like Tu Lisu, they think it is necessary to use such damage to find out where the limits of the Huaxia Army's combat power lie. This 'necessity' proves that they did not underestimate us in this war, or even underestimate us. It was Gao who looked at us a lot before he came to launch this battle in the southwest."

Ning Xi nodded, Li Yi said: "Zong Han and Xi Yin believe that the rise of the Jurchens has reached its peak, and there is already a problem of corruption inside, and the Huaxia Army rising among the Han people is still on the rise. If this situation continues, the Jurchens There will be a danger of subjugation of the country, so they regard the Southwest Battle as the most critical battle for the Jurchen to survive. Huang Ming fought on the first day, and we can know that they can accept a quick victory, but also accept the disparity in combat power between the two sides. , it is possible to slowly boil, this is the most troublesome."

Ning Yi looked down at the refugee camp with convenient roads: "How many civilian casualties?"

"The second division's statistics are approximate numbers. The number of civilians who were driven forward for the whole day was between 600 and 700. In the end, we rescued..." Xu Shaoyuan looked at the statistics and looked at the bottom, "... ...more than [-] people, including more than [-] wounded."

The team beside the watchtower was silent for a moment, and then Ning Yi laughed: "Speaking of which, when the staff was discussing the plan in the early stage, Chen Tian helped Jurchen to think of a dirty strategy. When they were in the southwest, the world had already belonged to them, and they could stuff the surrendered Han troops into the refugee cannon fodder, and we had to pick them up, and it was very troublesome to filter them out.”

"In view of this, Chen Tian said that the Jurchens could consider expelling millions or even millions of civilians in Xianghu, Sichuan and Shu areas, ransacking their homes, robbing food and everything, and then driving millions, Two million or even three million people come to our side, whether they are used as cannon fodder or sent directly, as long as the Jurchens consider opening a channel, we simply cannot digest them. Within a year, we will all be dead..."

The refugee camps below the hillsides look miserable, but such things are just the beginning.When Ning Yi talked about Chen Tian's story, the atmosphere was lively, with a sigh in his smile, and Li Yi on the side also showed a complicated laugh.Ning Xi frowned and thought for a moment, "If that's the case, then what should I do... But Zhou Junwu made an upside-down bead curtain on the edge of the Yangtze River..."

"We can't fight here. Whether it's Jiangekou or the mountain passes of Jinniu Road, as long as the Jurchen defends it, millions of civilians will not be able to go back."

"Then...is there any way to deal with it?"

"Yangmou is very difficult to deal with." Ning Yi laughed, "When Chen Tian said it, everyone was a little dumbfounded. The possibility of this incident is very small, because the development expectations are uncontrollable, and Jurchen can launch hundreds of thousands at any time. There is no need to fight this kind of useless battle with a million army, but if they are really cowardly to this point, they are desperate to send people inside while fighting, and everyone can't cry if they really cry, and the possibility of collapse is very high... So why the staff Everyone in the ministry said that Chen Tian has a bad stomach, and he and Qu Zhengyan are a natural pair..."

Ning Yi looked at the refugee camp below, and after saying this joke, his eyes gradually became serious.

"I can't be optimistic. Huangming County is [-] to [-]. It is said to be a saturated attack. In fact, the Jurchen attack is not saturated at all. When the elites come on the field, the catapults and iron guns are all pushed up, and the overall casualty ratio will be greatly reduced. Su is a veteran of Jurchen. Since he is mentally prepared, he will soon be able to find the critical point of Huangming County's defense strength. On Yuyu Creek, he is still holding his troops in the dark, and he is also waiting for the result of pulling away from Su. It's the real test."

Ning Yi read the battle report, then stretched out his hand and flicked it, and handed it to Li Yi with a wry smile: "Oh, look, there are still debt collectors behind. I said it repeatedly before the war, save the shells for me. These two guys, Pang Liuan and Li Dong, lost their fortunes for a day and bombarded more than 5000 people with cannonballs. This is really exciting... After the sum, the report came and reported to us that the shells might not be enough."

In the Huaxia Army, matters at the purely operational level are managed by the staff and the leadership of each army. Although Ning Yi is in charge of the overall operation, he occasionally analyzes it and does not have much direct involvement.However, the logistics of military supplies, the production, collection and deployment of various materials are still in the hands of Ning Yi. In the previous analysis of Huang Ming's battle situation, Ning Yi said it seriously, but in fact there are not many worries. When it came to the head, Ning Yi slumped his shoulders and laughed in anger.

"I have taken out my savings for a few years, and I will work hard day and night. Where can I add more money to them...Xu Shaoyuan, go back and write me a letter and scold them to death. The plan is the plan, and there are no more." He shot He clapped his hands, "Yes, I know that this battle will be fought for three months, and all of them will go to the northwest wind."

The mountains in front of him are vast, and the roads are winding. Ning Yi talked about this on the mountain, but he also brought these smiles.Ning Xi frowned and worked hard to settle accounts. When she got to a secluded place, she found her father and asked, "Dad, is there really enough?" Ning Yi looked at his son, who had gradually grown into an adult, and was also amused: "Let's go, take me with you. You do the math."

In the afternoon, the father and son returned to the command post, took the abacus and settled the accounts.Pang Liuan started to apply for more supplies after a day of cannonballing. In fact, it was more than this army who wanted more things.

In the pre-war mission deployment, the materials of each army have been divided up, and the output of the rear has also been divided in the next few months.Ning Yi had only a small amount left on hand, but every army was doing everything possible to get it out of Ning Yi's hands. In the past period of time, what made Ning Yi sigh and slap the table the most was this kind of thing.

Fighting against the Jurchen felt more like an elderly landowner being divided up by his next son, and there was a sense of desolation that he would not be able to survive half his life.Occasionally, he was so angry that he laughed at the reports of the various armies, and he took pleasure in bitterness.

Of course, no one is selfish in this matter, and even this kind of game is very necessary.All Ning Yi could do was to scold the teachers and teachers in front of them from time to time, saying that they were prostitutes, and then went back to urge the workers to work overtime and overtime, and urged the propaganda department to continuously encourage everyone to exert their own initiative.He occasionally laughs at himself, that his true character as a black-hearted capitalist has reached the limit.

Even so, there is still a huge shortage of supplies.In the early years, in order to maintain the operation of Hedengsan County, basically everything that could be sold was sold.The bulk of the business is an iron cannon, and what Ning Yi is pressing is a grenade.After conquering the Chengdu Plain, I was more comfortable and began to prepare for the battle with all my strength, but the total military stock is still not much. After all, this battle was fought early.

The father and son spent half an afternoon in the room, and when they got out, the publicity and celebration of Huangming County's [-]-for-[-] victory was already being done outside.The propaganda team passed by beating gongs and drums. Ning Xi's expression was like that of a stupid son of a landlord who suddenly found out that his family was an empty shell. His expression was a little guilty and embarrassed.

"It's all about money... productivity." Ning Yi sighed and patted his son on the shoulder, "There is a new factory in Chengdu, and I plan to let you learn about it. These managements will be the top priority in the future. ."

"...I-I'm not going." Ning Xi responded, "Father, you lied to me again."

"It's all the truth." Ning Yi's eyes were sincere and calm, "But you have your own ideas, so you can stay in Zizhou first."

Ning Yi's expression didn't show any flaws. On the 26th, Huangming County experienced another round of battle. Pang Liu'an reduced the frequency of shelling, and the damage on the battlefield was reduced.And even if the cannons were not fired, the battle strength at the head of Huangming County was still stronger than steel.This was just the beginning of the war, and Ba Lishun sent the results and some conclusions of the attack back to every leader of the Jurchen army.

The fire started by the scouts in the mountains during the confrontation spread more and more widely. The exchange of about [-] to [-] was an unbearable threat to the affiliated troops who entered the mountain for the bounty, even if the top Jurchen had ordered It is not allowed to set fire easily, but once attacked, who can control the order at the juncture of life and death, whether to fish in troubled waters or turn around to escape, setting a fire is the preferred strategy.

The scouts of the Huaxia Army temporarily chose to keep their troops on the front line, and some of the elite Jurchen scouts gradually began to adapt to the Huaxia Army's operations. never go back.

Everyone understands that the initial trial and stalemate will not last for too long. Once the trial is over, what awaits the Huaxia Army will inevitably be a large-scale, high-intensity repeated charge and exchange by the Jurchen. Yes, even if you go up and down, the Jurchen will not be at an absolute disadvantage.The most important thing is: regardless of human and material resources, they can afford it.

26 After dealing with things that night, Ning Yi took out the letter paper and wrote a letter to the family in the rear. The letter to Su Tan'er was written like this:

I found that when the children grew up, they were nowhere near as cute as they were when they were young. I told Wenwen, Ning Ke, Ning Shuang, and Ning Ning that father liked them the most, and their elder brothers were not likable.

Well, Ning He is still young, but he is just as cute as them.

……

Soon after, Su Tan'er also wrote:

Yesterday, I received a letter from Xi'er, saying that you always want to trick him into going to the rear. It's really the old habits of some old people. He wants to be a refreshing young man, and he should not learn from you in this regard.

He had his own discernment, and I was glad, of course, the letter scolded him.

You don't get angry with him anymore.

……

- I'll be angry with him!

- Glad your sister!

Ning Yi's face turned black with anger at his wife's letter.

But compared to war, these are indescribably happy things.

　I noticed that someone left a message before, why not add the day after the date, because the dates in the book are all lunar calendars, usually the lunar calendar does not add the day, for example, the single digit is the first day, and the tens digit is only the sixteenth. Seventeen, twenty...etc.
