Because Ye Mingsheng's attack was sudden and there was no greeting before, Yuan Song was caught off guard. He waited until Ye Mingsheng and his people walked into the village gate before he hurriedly led his people to greet him.

After the two parties met, Ye Mingsheng, under the leadership of Yuan Song, began to inspect the first division...

It was the morning drill time, and you could see the various units of the First Division running to warm up under the leadership of their generals.

"One two one, one two one"

"Whose food are we eating?"

"Dashuai Ye's meal!"

"Whose clothes are we wearing?"

"Shuai Ye's clothes!"

"Who do we swear allegiance to?"

"Shuai Ye!"

·················

·················

Listening to the deafening slogans of the soldiers of the First Division on the martial arts stage, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help stroking his palms and said to Yuan Song beside him:

"The soldiers of the first division are very good!"

Yuan Song, who was very happy with Ye Mingsheng's praise, also replied very respectfully:

"These are the heartfelt sentiments of the soldiers. As long as you are mentioned on the battlefield, the morale of the soldiers will soar!"

Ye Mingsheng smiled and nodded, and then turned his attention back to the training of the First Division. The First Division under Yuan Song, as the fist unit of the Fengwu Army, still had a very heavy training volume.

About half an hour later, the professional skill training of each arm began, as well as the military formation coordination drill between the various arms.

After watching the training for a while, Ye Mingsheng turned to Yuan Song beside him and said:

"How do you feel about going to the palace this time?"

After hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Yuan Song pondered for a while. He knew that Ye Mingsheng didn't like those little nutritious flattery, so he answered honestly:

"Reporting to you, Your Majesty, during this expedition to the palace, our army has experienced many fortified battles. During this process, I deeply realized that compared with going out to fight in the field, our army still has many shortcomings in attacking fortified areas, especially in siege.

When our army attacked the city at the beginning, both the soldiers and the generals were a little at a loss..."

"Fortunately, there is a big gap between the combat power of Gongdu's army and our army. In addition, their fighting spirit is low and they are divided internally. In addition, the cities in Gongdu are not strong cities. This makes our army unbeatable all the way. If our army wants to face

If it’s the big cities in Youyan, you might run into some trouble!”

Ye Mingsheng's expression became more serious when he heard this. What Yuan Song said was still very sincere and reasonable. Although his Fengwu Army has fought many large and small battles since its establishment, most of them were small.

In field battles, I have not fought many sieges, especially city sieges. In this regard, neither senior generals such as commanders or generals, nor grassroots leaders such as captains and corps commanders have much experience.

As for Ye Mingsheng's next target, Youyan, because it was located on the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it had faced nomads for decades or hundreds of years, and each city was built stronger than the last.

Although if the plan succeeds, if nothing unexpected happens, the Fengwu Army will have the advantage of a sudden attack. It will not have to face the main force of the Yan Army, and the difficulty will be greatly reduced. However, if you want to make smooth progress in Youyan, siege is a must.

To be strengthened····················

Of course, the experience of siege can only be obtained by fighting a war of blood and fire. There is no shortcut to this, and Ye Mingsheng has nothing to do about it. The only thing Ye Mingsheng can do is to make some breakthroughs in weapons to help Fengwu.

military.

"The Manufacturing Bureau has developed a new type of red cannon during this period. It is said that it has made a big breakthrough in terms of power. In addition, it has also made some improvements to siege equipment such as ladders and rams. In a few days, I will

Ask them to bring the things to you, use them, see how they go, and give your opinions!" Ye Mingsheng ordered to Yuan Song:

Hearing Ye Mingsheng's words, Yuan Song was filled with surprises. He knew that Ye Mingsheng's words were not just a new weapon for their first division to use, but it was also probably a hint that their first division

Will take on the main mission in the next battle!

After considering his words, Yuan Song proactively said to Ye Mingsheng:

"Sir, this is great! The red cannon is the patron saint of our soldiers. When the cannon goes off, the enemy is so scared that they almost pee their pants. With the help of these new weapons, when we enter the border, our first division will definitely

The Yan army was killed and no scraps were left behind..."

Hearing the temptation in Yuan Song's words, Ye Mingsheng smiled and patted his shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, your first division is indispensable in this battle!"

After receiving Ye Mingsheng's promise, Yuan Song was immediately overjoyed, raised his hands to Ye Mingsheng and said excitedly:

"Thank you, sir! All my colleagues in the First Division will definitely become the sharpest sword in your hands and chop off the head of this little old man, Zhao Fuqu!"

Feeling the strong fighting spirit in Yuan Song's heart, Ye Mingsheng nodded with satisfaction, and then asked again:

"Besides siege, what else do you think our army needs to improve on?"

After hearing this, Yuan Song thought for a while and said:

"Sir, I have been in the military for decades and have found that neither our enemy nor our soldiers are adapted to fighting at night. Even the most disciplined and skilled troops will be panicked and at a loss when encountering a sudden attack at night.

, I think our army can strengthen training in this area..."

Because from modern times, Ye Mingsheng had done this before. He had specially trained the Fengwu Army under his command, such as conducting a surprise attack without saying any greetings, simulating being attacked by the enemy at night, waking the troops from their sleep, and entering

Defend their respective combat positions, or in other words, suddenly pull people out and march five miles in full force at night.

Therefore, now that Yuan Song is talking about strengthening this aspect, he couldn't help but feel a little excited and said:

"Yuan Song, if you have any ideas, you might as well tell them in detail!"

"yes!"

"I believe that our army's previous night training was mainly to prepare for enemy attacks at night. I think our army can not only defend, but also take the initiative to attack. This time, our first division can quickly solve the problem."

Wang Kangxin’s troops still took advantage of the night raid to a large extent!”

"At night, our army's strict discipline and the soldiers' individual quality advantages will be more clearly demonstrated. This can be seen in the military palace this time. Our army has enough food, and there is a meat dish in two or three days to improve the food."

!

"In addition to having better food than the enemy, our army also has a greater amount of training than the opponent's. Therefore, the military formation cooperation is more tacit than the opponent's. Three or five people forming a small formation can often deal with seven or eight enemy people, or even

It’s ten people..."

"I think our advantage in this regard will be even greater at night. We can even conduct night sieges. Even if it is unsuccessful, we can still harass the enemy, make them exhausted, and affect the opponent's rest!"

Yuan Song's words made Ye Mingsheng's eyes light up. He might have been a little conservative before. The Fengwu Army could indeed have more night battles, especially the night siege that Yuan Song mentioned. Since the Fengwu Army lacked experience in sieges, then

You can definitely think of more ways and tricks to make up for it.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Mingsheng ordered:

"Yuan Song, your idea is very good. You can formulate a specific method to conduct training in the first division first and see how it works. If the effect is good, your advanced experience will be extended to the entire army!"

"Yes!" Seeing that Ye Mingsheng accepted his experience, Yuan Song was also very happy.

After talking about tactics, Ye Mingsheng shifted the topic to the soldiers and asked:

"This time the General Staff Headquarters gave you the First Division. How are the planned additional troops in place?"

The overall casualties of the Gongdu Fengwu Army this time were not high, but because the First Division was responsible for most of the most arduous battles, their casualty rate has exceeded 10%. According to Yuan Song's post-war statistics,

One thousand one hundred and thirty-one people were killed and 2,089 wounded...

Among the 2,089 injured, 1,570 were slightly injured and could continue to fight in the army after treatment, while the other 519 were seriously injured and could not continue to serve in the army.

According to the Fengwu Army's method of dealing with the disabled, if those who are unable to continue serving in the army are still active, the Fengwu Army will allocate a few acres of thin farmland in the local area for them to engage in productive labor. Based on their military exploits and the degree of disability,

Give tax benefits, or charge no tax at all.

In other words, it is to arrange a job at the inn, a government-owned company, and help find a job in a private company or store. The government will give certain tax incentives to companies and stores that accept veterans and disabled soldiers, increasing the income.

their positivity.

For severely disabled soldiers who cannot move, some silver coins should be sent back to their place of origin and handed over to their families and tribesmen, and then the local government will distribute some rice, noodles, vegetables, cloth and the like at regular intervals to ensure their basic needs.

their lives, and organize doctors to conduct regular visits to treat and alleviate their pain···············

As for severely disabled soldiers who have no family members, the government also has ways to deal with them. If other families are willing to accept these soldiers, the government will provide tax incentives and regular subsidies for treatment. If no one is willing to accept them, there are also nursing homes under the government's name.

adoption.

The above methods basically ensure that disabled soldiers can be properly accommodated, which also relieves the soldiers from worries, ensures the combat effectiveness of the army, and allows the soldiers to dare to fight on the battlefield and on the line between life and death.

Work hard and dare to fight the enemy with your life!

In response to Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Yuan Song said without hesitation:

"Currently, we have been supplemented with about 500 soldiers. Because they are capable people drawn from the rural warrior groups from various places, they are all strong and strong men with no problems in terms of martial arts. They only need to undergo a period of battle training.

, you can completely integrate into my first division..."

After hearing that only five hundred people were added, Ye Mingsheng asked again:

"Then the General Staff has not said when the remaining manpower will be added to you?"

Yuan Song hesitated and said:

"The General Staff said that it will take some time to train these rural warriors, so the remaining more than a thousand people should be gradually added to us within this month!"

Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly when he heard this, and Yuan Song explained:

"Sir, there is enough time for the new recruits to come in this month. I can guarantee that it will not affect the combat effectiveness of my first division!"

Ye Mingsheng shook his head and said:

"Things may change, and our troops may enter the customs earlier!"

Yuan Song was a little tempted when he heard the words. He hesitated for a moment and then tentatively asked Ye Mingsheng:

"Sir, what happened?"

Ye Mingsheng explained:

"The matter has not yet been decided. I will urge the General Staff to replenish your manpower as soon as possible, at least 2,000 people. This time, your first division is sent back to Dongning to live in the camp in the north of the city, mainly because of the plan of the General Staff.

Let you and the First Division take the lead. He Jingyun and Huo San will come to you in a few days to introduce you to the situation of the Yan Army in Jizhou. You must be prepared first...

····”

Finally getting the accurate number from Ye Mingsheng, Yuan Song was in a state of excitement. He nodded heavily towards Ye Mingsheng and said:

"I know in my heart that I will never let you down!"

After discussing with Yuan Song, the soldiers of the First Division had basically finished their training. Ye Mingsheng took advantage of this time to give an impromptu speech to the soldiers of the First Division, encouraging the soldiers to defend the country and fight the enemy bravely. Ye Mingsheng's

The appearance undoubtedly ignited the passion of the soldiers, and the short speech was interrupted many times by the applause of the soldiers.

Afterwards, Ye Mingsheng met with generals at all levels of the First Division, as well as soldiers who had made some important achievements, and had a cordial handshake and conversation with them.

Three days ago, at the triumphal ceremony of more than 100,000 people, due to time constraints, Ye Mingsheng only met with a few representatives. But this time, one of the purposes of Ye Mingsheng coming to the camp in the north of the city was to meet more people.

The generals and meritorious soldiers showed their affinity to these people and expressed that even though they were the governor of Liaoyang, their hearts were still with these soldiers...

·

Because the Fengwu Army recruits very strictly and only recruits farmers, miners and other people who are simple-minded and honest, so for many soldiers, before joining the army, they have seen the biggest official in their hometown, maybe the village chief.

Li Zheng.

Now seeing Ye Mingsheng, the governor of Liaoyang and the local emperor of Liaoyang, he was already very excited and in a hurry. But at this time, Ye Mingsheng encouraged him with a smile on his face. Many people couldn't help but cry with excitement. I believe that at this time

Even if Ye Mingsheng asks them to go up the mountain of knives or into the sea of ​​fire, they will carry out Ye Mingsheng's orders to the letter!
Chapter completed!
