Chapter 145 The Guards Corps was born out of nowhere!
After nightfall.
Chang'an City implemented the strictest curfew.
On the wide concrete streets, apart from the soldiers walking back and forth, there was no one left waiting.
The entire city seems to have turned into a huge military fortress.
Benefiting from the [Global Construction Acceleration Card], excavation projects such as water canals and artificial lakes in the Changzhi District of Chang'an City have been completed, and there are no longer any potholes or piles of dirt in the city.
Because a large number of people were sent to Zunlong Kingdom, the temporary settlements that had been seen everywhere before were also cancelled.
It is rare that both sides of the street become clean and tidy.
future.
Even if the people are brought back, they will be placed in the Wannian District, which is larger and more open.
The construction of Changzhi District is nearing completion.
Especially with the blessing of the [Global Construction Acceleration Card], previously planned large-scale construction projects such as Chang'an University and Miyagi Gardens have also entered the construction fast lane and are expected to be completed within half a month.
It can be seen that he is still taking advantage of the alliance.
The fierce battle during the day was far from easy even for the Chang'an defenders. The 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th divisions responsible for defending the city and the Chang'an garrison lost a total of more than 3,000 people.
More than 5,000 people were seriously injured, and more than 10,000 were slightly injured.
After half a month of fierce fighting, the four garrison divisions with a total strength of 100,000 troops have completed a new round of reorganization. After today's consumption, there is almost no redundancy anymore.
The total number of casualties + seriously injured retirees exceeds 20,000.
The results achieved are——
Over and over again, the cumulative number of coalition soldiers killed under Chang'an City has reached nearly 500,000.
The casualty ratio on both sides was more than twenty-five to one.
This is of course a very exaggerated statistic. In addition to being the defensive side, the gap between the two sides in terms of weapons and equipment, offensive/defensive equipment, and individual combat capabilities is also one of the main reasons.
After careful analysis, it is not surprising at all.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand how desperate it is for a million coalition troops to attack Chang'an City.
………
After the war.
As a lord, Tang Jing inspected and expressed condolences to all the troops defending the city. At the same time, he went to Chang'an Hospital and the field hospital to visit and express condolences to the wounded.
after.
Once again, three million glory points were spent to purchase fifteen thousand sets of infantry armor from the glory store to arm the thirty newly formed heavy infantry battalions.
In this way.
The nine infantry divisions under the Longxiang Army and Tiance Army each have a heavy infantry brigade.
After that.
Tang Jing came to the Wilderness Temple and started a new round of summons.
In the past week, a total of more than 620,000 killing points were gained. Today alone, because there were second-level and even third-level warriors participating in the siege, more than 350,000 killing points were gained.
Very crazy!
This means that Tang Jing can summon tens of thousands of wild warriors, which will be the largest summons at once.
Decide immediately——
The Imperial Guard Battalion was upgraded to a Imperial Guard Brigade, with two armor-breaking battalions, two Divine Bow Battalions, two Devil Tiger Cavalry Battalions and a Feilian Reconnaissance Team, totaling more than 3,000 wild warriors.
Referred to as Three Thousand Imperial Guards.
Xu Chu was promoted to brigade commander of the Imperial Guard Brigade, and Tu Li and Fengzhi served as deputy generals.
to this end.
It is necessary to summon 800 Chiyou warriors, 900 Houyi warriors, and 800 Demon Tiger cavalry.
The Guards Division was upgraded to the Guards Corps, which currently only has the First Guards Infantry Division and the Second Guards Cavalry Division under its jurisdiction. Each division has five brigades, and each brigade still maintains the organization of five battalions.
to this end.
It is necessary to summon 4,000 Chi You warriors, 1,000 Hou Yi warriors and 7,500 Demon Tiger Cavalry.
Add it all together.
A total of 750,000 killing points and more than 830,000 gold coins are required.
What a pity.
Tang Jing had neither so much money nor so much killing value.
Only one less Demonic Tiger Cavalry Brigade can be summoned.
As a result, a total of 625,000 kill points and 683,000 gold coins were consumed, and 4,800 Chi You warriors, 1,900 Hou Yi warriors, and 5,800 Demon Tiger Cavalry were summoned in one go.
Called down.
Not only were all the kill points on hand depleted, but there were only 17,000 gold coins left.
Become a pauper again.
This is not all, in order to arm the newly summoned wild warriors, 6,700 sets of infantry armor and 5,800 sets of bright light armor need to be purchased.
Oh, right!
The Mighty Brigade and the Flying Bear Brigade summoned before have not yet been equipped with armor.
Adding them all together, a total of 3.5 million glory points are needed, but Tang Jing only has 2 million glory points left in his hand, which is still 1.5 million points short.
Fortunately, once we launch a counterattack tomorrow, we will receive a huge amount of glory points.
The equipment will be replenished soon.
………
After bringing the newly summoned barbarian warriors to the original Guards Division station in person, Tang Jing also took the opportunity to announce the appointment of new generals for the Guards Corps.
He will personally assume the position of commander of the Guards Corps.
Shirakawa, the former commander of the Guards Division, was promoted to deputy commander of the Guards Corps and commander of the 2nd Guards Cavalry Division, responsible for the daily management of the Guards Division.
Tu Hong, the former brigade commander of the Zhongwu Brigade under the 10th Division, was promoted to the division commander of the 1st Guards Infantry Division.
As one of the Three Heroes of Chang'an, Bai Chuan is naturally the seed player that Tang Jing focuses on training, but he must be promoted to the commander of the legion now, on an equal footing with the three generals Yue Fei, Guo Ziyi, and Lian Po.
Obviously it cannot convince the public.
Even so, there are only two divisions under the Guards Corps that are not yet full.
It is still easy to attract criticism.
In view of this, Tang Jing adopted a compromise strategy and took charge personally to lead the way for Bai Chuan.
As for Tu Hong.
As the first wild warrior to arrive in Chang'an, he was the eldest brother of all the Chiyou warriors in the army. He successively served as the commander of the patrol team, the commander of the city defense camp, the brigade commander of the city guard brigade, the brigade commander of the Shanshan brigade and the brigade commander of the Zhongwu brigade.
Regardless of ability or experience in commanding troops, he barely meets the threshold of a division commander.
And because the Guards Corps was composed entirely of barbarian warriors, the First Guards Infantry Division was mainly composed of Chiyou warriors.
Having Tu Hong serve as the commander-in-chief is more symbolic and makes it easier for Chi You's soldiers to be convinced.
………
Depart from the Guards Corps station.
Still unable to rest, Tang Jing transferred to the Yamen of the Military Affairs Administration to attend a combat deployment meeting chaired by Yue Fei, the commander-in-chief of the counterattack.
Of course I'm just listening.
In the war room, the three giants, Yue Fei, Guo Ziyi, and Lian Po, were all there.
In addition, all ten division commanders from the Longxiang Corps and Tiance Corps were present, as well as Zhang Liao, the commander of the Chang'an garrison division under the City Guard Corps.
As well as Bai Chuan, the newly promoted deputy commander of the Guards Corps, and Tu Hong, the division commander of the 1st Guards Infantry Division.
The Director of the Military Affairs Administration, Qin Shuang, naturally participated.
After Tang Jing arrived, all the generals stood up and saluted with solemn expressions.
"Everyone, sit down!"
Tang Jing sat down with a smile, "I only came with my ears today, and all the arrangements will be made by General Yue."
"Thank you for your trust, sir!"
After Yue Fei saluted again, he stopped being polite and began to make combat arrangements: "In the daytime battle, the coalition forces once again lost more than 180,000 people, and the total strength has been reduced sharply to less than 670,000 people."
This is undoubtedly good news for Chang'an's upcoming major counterattack.
Logically speaking, it is very time-consuming to count casualty data like this, not to mention the enemy's, but also our own, and the enemy's casualties are even more difficult to evaluate.
But Tang Jing couldn't stand it. There were new kill value and glory value data, which could be easily deduced in reverse.
From this, we can grasp the enemy's first-hand casualty data.
Of course, what Tang Jing has is only the total daily casualty data of the coalition forces, specifically which army has how many people were killed, how many were seriously injured, and how many were lightly injured.
This is unknown.
We can only make a simple prediction based on the intensity of the attack.
Average it down.
The enemy's Central Route Army, East Route Army, South Route Army and West Route Army each suffered about 45,000 casualties.
Among them.
Because the Central Route Army was responsible for attacking Jingyaomen, the total casualties would be greater.
Compared with the sharp decrease in the combat strength of the coalition forces, Chang'an's side has added more than 12,500 wild warriors overnight, and the overall combat strength has actually experienced a wave of improvement.
A new batch of infantry armor and Mingguang armor were also deployed.
If you are a little more adventurous, you can even give up the previous strategy of surrounding three and missing one and attack directly from all sides.
After discussion.
To be on the safe side, we should continue to implement the strategy of surrounding three and missing one.
The difference is that the fourth division under the Tiance Army will not participate in the attacks on the East Route Army, South Route Army, and West Route Army, but will be mainly responsible for pursuing the enemy's Middle Route Army.
Even if the Central Army cannot be completely wiped out, it can still be severely damaged.
Acting with the Fourth Division was the newly formed Second Cavalry Division of the Guards Corps.
Yue Fei started to order generals.
"The Longxiang Army is responsible for attacking the enemy's Western Route Army and South Route Army. The specific deployment is-"
"The 1st, 7th, and 8th divisions are responsible for attacking the enemy's Western Route Army."
"General Lian Po will serve as the commander-in-chief."
"The Third and Sixth Divisions, together with the First Guards Infantry Division, are responsible for attacking the enemy's Southern Route Army."
"General Xue Rengui will serve as the commander-in-chief."
"The Tiance Army is responsible for attacking the enemy's East Route Army and Middle Route Army. The specific deployment is-"
"The fifth, ninth, and tenth divisions are responsible for attacking the enemy's Eastern Route Army."
"General Guo Ziyi will serve as the commander-in-chief."
"The Second Division is responsible for attacking the approximately 50,000 enemy troops deployed by the Central Route Army on the south bank of the Mero River."
"General Chang Yuchun will serve as the commander-in-chief."
"The fourth division, together with the second division of the Guards Cavalry, is responsible for crossing the Mero River and attacking the enemy's center route."
"General Shirakawa will serve as the commander-in-chief."
The chief general of the five armies is either the commander of the legion or the deputy commander.
The lineup is luxurious!
When the military order is given, the generals will happily accept the order.
There was only one person who was not happy, but it was Zhang Liao, the commander of the Chang'an garrison division. He stood up, clasped his fists and said, "May I ask, general, what is the combat mission of the Chang'an garrison division in this major counterattack?"
"The Chang'an garrison has been guarding the city for half a month and is very tired. It is time to rest in the city." Yue Fei replied.
This is not a shirk.
The 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th divisions that were also responsible for defending the city, including their predecessors' four-way garrison, took turns during the process. Only the Chang'an garrison division remained at its position.
It is true that a rest is needed.
Zhang Liao did not appreciate it and said loudly: "General, the Chang'an garrison division belongs to the city guard corps and is also a member of the Chang'an army. In this major counterattack, the Chang'an army came out in full force, so the participation of the garrison division cannot be avoided."
"The garrison division can not only defend, but also participate in the attack!!!"
"We are not tired, we will finally fight!"
As soon as these words came out, all the generals present, including Tang Jing, could not help but be moved by it.
Yue Fei looked at Tang Jing, saw Tang Jing nodded slightly, and then said: "Okay, then ask the Chang'an garrison to be responsible for the interception mission on the Gray Water River. Be sure to stop the enemy's West Route Army and South Route Army from escaping to Monroe County.
.”
"yes!"
Zhang Liao accepted the order happily and immediately grinned.
