Chapter 190 What to do if you don't know how to fight with a large corps
If you don't know how to fight with a large army, what should you do? It's a bit clumsy!
County Magistrate Li thought that if the Song army came over recklessly, he seemed to be a little confused. Should he kill his own people or not? It would be really troublesome.
"Shou Li, now the 'rebels' from all the countries have gathered to wait for Shou Li's order."
Those who have no brains to believe that Li Jie can solve the problem are all crocodiles and brave men.
There is no way, Shou Li is so magical.
Besides, the boss looks very calm now. You can see him sitting at his desk, still thinking about drawing.
"Well, I understand."
County Magistrate Li nodded, and then said, "Let the captains come to see me."
"yes!"
The number of combatants brought by Jiangyin this time is actually quite large. Five hundred crocodile men plus five hundred crocodile men as candidates, and one thousand brave men plus one thousand brave men as candidates.
With a total strength of 3,000 troops, it would not be a problem to support the Song army in the field. With the qualities of the Crocodiles and brave men, the Song army would have to have at least 30,000 regular troops to impress Li Jie.
There is no way, a high degree of organization and discipline means that you can do whatever you want, and the armor coverage rate in Jiangyin City is extremely high, 200%. One person is issued two sets of armor, and a small blast furnace is used for mining and burning charcoal. County Magistrate Li originally
The goal is to "occupy the magpie's nest" and eat the country of Wu.
There was just a little accident, and it was difficult to deal with the Song Dynasty.
The amount of iron used in armor is actually not high, and it is mainly leather armor. Crocodile skin, whale skin, and rhinoceros skin are the main ones. The weapons and equipment are mainly spears and crossbows. There are also sword and shield hands, but generally they are in charge of Jiangyin.
Security work.
In addition, Li Jie also brought a considerable amount of gunpowder, just in case.
So what County Magistrate Li is actually worried about is not how to kill the Song people, but that once the situation gets chaotic, the Crocodile Man and Yongfu's main killing operation is to kill his own people.
There are dozens of forces, various armed forces, large and small, and it is still impossible to tell whether they are enemies or friends. If someone causes trouble in this fight, and if the boat capsizes, where can County Magistrate Li go to reason?
It can even be said that among the "righteous men" who came to support Biyang State, there must be spies from the Song State. In addition to the spies, there may also be a considerable number of rebels. After all, the Song State is not the master of money.
Son.
Normally speaking, with the quality of soldiers like Crocodile Man and Yongfu, with three thousand backbones, it is possible to form an army of fifty or sixty thousand. Adding in logistics, the number of soldiers may reach 300,000.
But County Magistrate Li has always had a bad impression of the mob. Having a large number of people does not necessarily mean there is no use. It depends on the situation and who will use it.
With the level of productivity these days and the extremely cool organization, the more people there are, the head coach must be a top talent.
If you want "the more the merrier", you won't be able to play without having a "whole map" in your mind, and you will only be played by others.
Therefore, County Magistrate Li did not want Crocodile and Yongfu to expand without thinking. In the eyes of King Wu Gou Chen, if you bring loyal ministers, you will definitely bring loyal ministers.
It's different for a traitor like Lord Yiyang. When he ran away, he claimed that there were a hundred thousand people in Yancheng. In fact, the real combatants were tens of thousands of people. The rest were a mess, including barbarians and savages.
, and the unlucky Chinese who were kidnapped.
At that time, Ji Xuan, an old turtle, was given a stick as a soldier.
Can County Magistrate Li do this?
But now I don’t want to do it this way, it seems I have to do it this way.
Because Sha Dong quickly made a preliminary count of the "righteous men" sent by various countries, large and small. Taking into account logistics, labor, and slaves, there were more than 100,000 miscellaneous.
Preliminary statistics are 110,000 to 20,000, and the floating error depends on whether the communication is accurate.
"More than 100,000, what a fucking fool."
Li Jie put his hands on his hips and walked back and forth in the combat office, "How about letting them die directly by 'ant-possessing' them?"
"First Li Yingming!"
After three punches, Sha Heng couldn't make a sound out of him, so he sputtered out such a sentence.
"Yingming, your mother is Yingming."
After glaring at Sha Heng, County Magistrate Li paced back and forth, frowning, "If I were Song Guo, I would just look like a soft persimmon on my face first. But looking at Song Guo's slow demeanor, it's probably a bit
Afraid. A mob also has its advantages. When there are more people, it can scare people, and it can also embolden people."
"Shou Li, if you don't need a 'righteous man', just order him to be on standby."
"Do you think people are animals, just stay still? If there are spies here and they bomb the camp at night, a lot of people will die, okay? Then the next day we will take a look, oh, they all died.
We are one of our own, do you think this will hurt our morale?"
He glared at Sha Heng again, but Sha Hen looked innocent, because the words just now were not said by him, but by Sha Dong.
"No need for 'righteous men'..."
Sha Dong pondered for a while, then saluted Li Jie and said, "Sou Li, why don't you let the 'righteous men' serve as assistants and help you from the side?"
"We can't let them dig a hole... dig a hole... huh? Dig a hole..."
County Magistrate Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted the map of Biyang Kingdom with his palm. This map had been re-surveyed and was much more refined than the maps of other countries.
Looking at the map, County Magistrate Li's eyebrows suddenly curved in an obscene manner: "Young men, I suddenly remembered that the country of Force Yang will surrender to the State of Wu sooner or later. In the future, won't it be the territory of the State of Wu?
"
"What Shou Li said is true!"
"you shut up!"
Staring at Shaheng again, County Magistrate Li rubbed his chin, and then said, "Sooner or later, we have to manage our own land. It would be bad to destroy it. They are all good land, and we will definitely have a bumper harvest if we grow food. And it is close to Surabaya... tsk tsk."
, what a great place.”
All the crocodiles and Captain Yongfu were all confused and had no idea what the boss was thinking.
Soon, County Magistrate Li's smile became more and more abnormal: "It's impossible for me to command hundreds of thousands of people to fight a war. But commanding hundreds of thousands of people to do a big project has always been my dream."
After saying this, County Magistrate Li opened the door and shouted: "I am the king of contractors——"
Crocodile Man and the brave men didn't understand it either, because the boss spoke Mandarin.
Suppressing his excitement, County Magistrate Li had a plan at that time and said to the crocodile men and brave men: "Well, there are hundreds of thousands of laborers on hand now. Let's control the Surabaya River and dig ditches.
Divert water to irrigate the nearby land. The war may be protracted. We have to cultivate the land and wait for the opportunity, right?"
"..."
"..."
The dozens of captains are not stupid. The boss clearly intends to use the Allied troops as coolies to carry out a large-scale development of Yangguo.
"In order for the chariot to run fast, the original road must be rested. And what else, we can't let the friendly forces suffer. How can we dig holes under the sky? It's already summer, and there are mosquitoes, rats, and ants.
It’s quite a lot, so we need to build a house.”
Speaking of this, County Magistrate Li's thinking became clearer and clearer. Fighting? Fighting a few chickens' war. I am trying to force Yang Guo to do the Belt and Road Initiative, okay?
Then County Magistrate Li quickly began to organize and assign tasks to dozens of volunteers.
First of all, we have to fight a war. In order to prevent any grain or wood from falling into the hands of the enemy, we must "strengthen the walls and clear the country."
Jianbi, as the name suggests, is to make the barrier stronger. So, this is civil engineering work. People have to build houses and build fortresses. There are fortresses everywhere. Are you afraid of the stupid Song army?
Clearing the wilderness means clearing away all the things in the wilderness. Therefore, the wilderness should be burned and the trees should be cut down.
For this complete set of operations, there must be excavation teams, piling teams, logging teams, wasteland burning teams and other work teams.
Secondly, for a war, there must be trenches and tunnels, as well as logs and rolling stones. What if the Song army was particularly powerful and attacked Biyang City directly?
The carpentry team is indispensable, and the masonry work is indispensable. If County Magistrate Li wants to build a stone trebuchet, a new carpentry design team will have to be added.
We are going to fight again. We have to cook a big pot of rice, but it is not easy to get a big pot. It is also very scientific and common sense to temporarily build a metallurgical group. You cannot eat with your hands, and you must have tableware to serve rice. This is to bake some pottery.
It's understandable to make do with it.
In the final battle, food processing is very important. The logistical pressure is already great, so maybe we have to rely on ourselves? At that time, we can’t order chicken, duck and fish meat to take out, but we must raise some chickens, some ducks, and then return them.
I have to serve these chickens and ducks...
In addition to poultry and livestock, the main thing is to serve people, and it is impossible for these people to eat the same food. Officers must eat meat, soldiers must eat to keep them full, and auxiliary soldiers and transport soldiers can eat half full, which is probably the same. But during war,
It must be kept full. The extra bran produced by pounding the rice cannot be eaten by the officers and soldiers. It must be evenly distributed and mixed with wild vegetables and so on, so that the slaves can have a taste.
If this is done, there will probably be another seven or eight working groups.
For the entire project, County Magistrate Li was thinking about subcontracting out hundreds of sub-projects. For a specific operation area, he might have to let friendly forces have a try.
The emperor still needs hungry soldiers, right?
In terms of specific operations, it is actually still very troublesome. The requirements for conveying instructions and executing team work are still high.
However, compared with directly commanding an army of hundreds of thousands, at least this thing belongs to County Magistrate Li's old profession.
It used to be my old business.
I’ve never eaten pork but I’ve seen pigs run away.
There may be some gaps in system management and construction, which cannot be compared with modern conditions, but there is one thing that County Magistrate Li has an advantage over now.
prestige.
Holding high the flag of "righteousness", he is a big boss, the kind who does not adulterate.
The Ranger of the State of Yan has become his spiritual leader. Where can you go to explain this matter? It is something that the monarch of the State of Yan cannot do. County Magistrate Li has not even performed a chest-breaking performance in front of the Ranger of the State of Yan, but the Ranger of the State of Yan
I decided that County Magistrate Li was very awesome and had no water mark.
This made County Magistrate Li sigh with emotion, the people of Yan State...are discerning!
He also thinks he is awesome.
County Magistrate Li's plan is divided into three parts. In the short term, it is mainly about digging trenches and building houses; in the medium and long term, it is mainly about digging trenches and building houses to open up wasteland; in the long term, it is mainly about building bridges and paving roads to expand the city, digging trenches and building houses.
First, a ditch should be opened outside Biyang City to widen the moat, and the ditch connected to Surabaya should be connected directly to the moat.
This has the advantage of saving transportation capacity. The bamboo raft boat can transport one or two hundred kilograms of materials, and the draft is not high. In spring and summer, the river water originally rises, which can also prevent possible flooding of the Surabaya River.
The total material consumption of the mixed civil and engineering fence is not high by building a sentry tower around the ditch and building a fence based on the sentry tower. Because the earth and rocks produced by digging the trench can be directly built and compacted.
If there is sufficient manpower, it is allowed to operate for more than ten or twenty miles at the same time. As long as there is no sudden wave of Song troops rushing over, there is no need to worry.
We have three thousand crocodile men, brave men, and alternate crocodile men and brave men on hand, enough to deal with emergencies.
Even if the Song army wants to make a sneak attack, it can only use light troops. In this case, the Song army will not be afraid of any number of hand-to-hand encounters.
The scope of the first phase of the operation is not large. It mainly focuses on Biyangcheng. To put it bluntly, it means digging trenches.
If the original moat of Biyang City was an inner ring, what Li Jie wants to do now is to build a second ring road out, and then open a "highway" to connect the second ring road to Surabaya.
The military camp of volunteers from various countries was set up within the second ring road to prevent them from entering the city.
In this way, even if something happens, Biyang City can continue to survive as long as it is still there.
The thing he is least afraid of is fighting a war of attrition. Friendly troops are like dead dogs to Li Jie, and he won't feel sorry for them even if they die. Unless these friendly troops turn into real licking dogs, then he may have some mercy.
Otherwise, he is a contractor and not a developer, so why should he give a bad picture to the customer? There is something wrong with him.
"Let all those who have stayed up all night talking in many languages in Biyang City come out and wait for orders."
"yes!"
"Come when called, but behead if you don't come!"
"yes!"
In the new year, of course there must be new martial law.
Those who suffered in Biyang City last year naturally know that the strong man of Wu State is no joke. What's more, this year's strong man of Wu State is not only the strong man of Wu State, he is also the Prime Minister of Biyang State, and even more so Jiangyin of Wu State.
son.
Internationally, they all belong to the upper-class nobility, and their status is different.
“The ‘righteous men’ who are leading the troops from all over the world are telling you to come here and wait!”
"yes!"
"If you refuse verbally, the certificate of 'righteous man' will not be issued."
"yes!"
The so-called certificate of "righteousness" is a wooden sign with "Big Red 01" perforated and knotted. This thing is easy to recognize, because only County Magistrate Li in the world is willing to waste "Big Red 01" on bumpkins.
Having this is equivalent to being recognized by County Magistrate Li and being recognized as a "righteous man".
As for the wooden sign, anyone who comes to pick it up can engrave their name on it. You can engrave it yourself or write it yourself. It's up to you.
This is a difference and a warning.
With the certificate of "righteous man", at least under Biyang City, the status is different. You didn't explain that you are useless, otherwise why didn't the macho man give you the certificate? There must be something wrong with you, otherwise it would be impossible
, everyone has it, but you don’t? Did the macho man give you a piece of "Chixia"? It doesn’t exist...
And this operation can also warn those princes with small thoughts. Since they have sent people to help me, they should do a good job. Don't think that there will be nothing. You must be obedient. If you don't obey, there will be no "Chixia".
High-grade silk and precious silk can only be provided by Jiangyin-eup.
Intimidation and inducement are always effective.
Besides, most of the small countries that came to join in the fun couldn't conquer Jiangyin City themselves, let alone Jiangyin City, they couldn't even conquer the former Baisha Village.
Therefore, there are actually many countries that want to refuse to hand over the command of the headquarters.
Li Jie wants to create a kind of pressure so that countries with small thoughts will have to give in.
Even if I don’t beat you, you have to give in.
Hundreds of thousands of people are watching, you perform a dance counterattack?
In addition to command authority, the problem of multinational troops is also a huge problem in communication, so Li Jie wants to capture all the translators. In this way, in one contract area or one work section, two, three, three, four or even more countries can be coordinated.
troops participate in the collaboration.
For example, the people of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Cai Dynasty spoke completely differently. They communicated with each other like a chicken talking to a duck. But with the merchants in the Jianghuai and Hanshui areas, they were able to translate, and even if they were not accurate, they could still communicate with the words.
Order.
There is very little nonsense in engineering orders. This condition fully meets the requirements for accurate communication.
After the troops from various countries handed over the command power, Li Jie could also mediate the conflicts between some hostile countries. For example, there was no need to place the troops of the six countries next to Shu Yong, because these two countries have been fighting each other in recent years.
They are betraying each other's teammates, and dumping negative information on each other internationally. In short, they are enemies who are at war with each other.
If there is no command authority, and if the two countries make do with finding a place to set up camp, and end up setting up camp next door to each other, something will happen 10,000% of the time.
The roar of the camp is trivial, and it is foreseeable to directly mutiny and kill each other.
After unifying the command authority at the same time, and allocating the garrison locations of various troops, there will be no favoritism between one and another.
Anyway, they are all within the second ring outside the inner ring. No matter how good they are, they can go to the sky; no matter how bad they are, they can go to the ground? Aren't they all unable to enter the city?
Li Jie summoned his men. In addition to the direct descendants of Jiangyin, there were also scholars from Biyang, Tan, Liu, Cao, Xi and other countries.
In particular, Cao State secretly sent out many public servants. Uncle Cao was also very capable. He issued a death order. Even if the strong man of Wu State asked the public servants to dig out manure, they must obey the order.
County Magistrate Li wondered if this would give me a batch of management talents for nothing. Of course, County Magistrate Li didn't need any high-end management talents. Being able to accurately convey orders and supervise the progress of the project would be more than enough.
His system is an accountability system. The boss looks to the group leader, the group leader looks to the squadron leader, and the squadron leader looks to the squad leader.
Then everyone held whips together and started whipping friendly troops and beating enemy troops.
Both sides have to be pumped and both sides have to be hard!
"Order: All farm tools from Jiangbei will be deployed to force the Yang!"
"yes!"
"Order: Set up Liu Camp in Biyang and recruit healthy women to join the camp!"
"yes!"
After issuing several more orders, Li Jie pulled out last year's "Yi Dan Camp" again.
The old rule is that during war, military control must be implemented.
Then, it is normal to once again set up the "Elimination of Anti-Forcing and Negative Sabotage" committee.
There may be friendly forces who cannot understand, but the "Yi Dan Camp" is very professional and has rich experience. As long as you reason with the friendly forces, can you still communicate smoothly?
