Nangong County, Zhending Prefecture, the headquarters of the Seventh Army.
Li Dazhuang, commander of the Seventh Army, held a military meeting.
"The Seventh Army cannot continue fighting like this. We walked from Guangzong County to Nangong County for a whole month.
Especially the First Division, as the vanguard, was too slow to capture the city.
It took five days to capture the small Nangong County.
This kind of marching speed is not the speed of our Seventh Army.
How long did it take for us to capture half of Henan Province?
We must reflect on when we can reach Shuntian Mansion at this marching speed.
When the time comes, the King of Qin will lead the Third Army, the Fourth Army and the Imperial Guard to besiege Shuntian Prefecture, and we will not even capture Tianjin at that time.
If this happens, don't you feel ashamed, I will be ashamed on my face.
Our embarrassment is still a trivial matter, which affects the overall strategic plan of the Qin army.
Let Tianjin, Tongzhou, and Jizhou, the Ming armies that we should hold back, be free to send heavy troops to guard the capital.
This led to changes in the plan to attack the capital.
We are sinners, and everyone will go to the grassland to herd sheep with me. "
Duan Ruide, chief of staff of the Seventh Army, was really angry when he saw Li Dazhuang.
When he usually scolds people, he just thinks that the person has some shortcomings, and his anger will subside after a few curses.
When he started to reason, especially when he brought up King Su He of Qin to reason, it was the prelude to an explosion.
Duan Ruide immediately stood up to smooth things over.
"Tan Fangyuan, don't just bow your head and admit your mistakes, we must face them squarely.
Tell me about the battles during this period and how you fought them.
Why is the march so slow? It takes five days to occupy a small city in Nangong County.
It only took us five days to attack Nanyang Fucheng, an important town deployed by the Ming Dynasty in Henan.
King Qin did not specify the time for our army to arrive at Shuntian Mansion.
But we ourselves must also have a sense of urgency, and the Seventh Army must not fall behind others.
The Third Army, the Fourth Army and the Imperial Guard all arrived at Shuntian Mansion.
As long as our Seventh Army has not arrived, what will others think of our Seventh Army?
We are all soldiers, and the honor of the Seventh Army is above all else. "
Tan Fangyuan, commander of the First Division of the Seventh Army, saw everyone's eyes focused on him.
He said a little aggrievedly: "Commander, Chief of Staff, the march is slow, you can't blame me for that.
In the past, we were fighting against the Ming army, and the two armies faced each other head-on.
After defeating the Ming army on the battlefield, they would scurry away, many of them fleeing directly.
Seeing that they could not run away, the Ming army immediately knelt down and surrendered.
In this way, as long as the battle on the frontal battlefield is over, the finishing work is left to the garrison.
We can withdraw from the battlefield and prepare for the next battle.
Now we have replaced the gentry group to train their weapons. When they take the initiative to fight with us, it is okay. We can easily annihilate them.
When the city was broken up and street fighting broke out, we searched people's homes.
Entering a normal people's home, who would have thought that there would be all kinds of traps in a normal people's home.
We had to dismantle various traps and confront the regiment's armed forces, which took a little longer.
We can fight normal street fighting, but before fighting this kind of street fighting, we must distinguish the difference between ordinary people and group training.
If you are not careful, you will accidentally injure people.
Some officers and soldiers cannot accept the accidental injury of civilians, and they will be punished by the Military Justice Department.
When soldiers encounter this kind of problem, they are restrained in fighting and cannot let go.
Sometimes when the regiment's armed forces threaten ordinary people, we have to go and rescue the people.
Fighting such an unconventional battle cannot be done at any speed.
If this kind of battle is fought too quickly, it will inevitably increase the casualties of the Qin army and the people. "
Li Dazhuang slammed the table and said loudly: "Tan Datou, what reason are you looking for?
You have defeated the main force of the regiment's armed forces, and the remaining finishing work is so slow.
Without the garrison, wouldn't you be able to fight a war? "
Li Dazhuang turned to look at Duan Ruide again and asked, "How long will it take for the garrison to be free to support us?"
Duan Ruide said: "Commander, the security forces are currently short of manpower.
Scatter them all out to maintain the security of logistics supply lines and eliminate the gentry in other places.
There are not enough manpower to clear out regiment training and armed forces in other places and maintain the security of logistics supply lines.
Commander Tan has no choice now. Our army is not good at street fighting.
If he had known that his opponent would be difficult to deal with, he would have learned some street fighting skills from the Second Army.
Nangong County is a small county, and the First Division cannot deploy all its troops, nor can it be assisted by other armies. "
Li Dazhuang was a little silent when he heard what Duan Ruide said.
Tan Fangyuan did not fight well in this battle, and most of the factors were not his fault.
During this time, he had been planning his marching route.
Study how to break through Tianjin and cut off the connection between Shanhaiguan and the capital.
The chief of staff has always been responsible for mobilizing the garrison.
The chief of staff had a better understanding of the combat effectiveness of the gentry regiment's armed forces.
Duan Ruide said helplessly: "In order to save their lives, these gentry spent all their wealth on group training.
Small gentry in some towns and villages have recruited hundreds of people to organize group training.
They avoid our main force, but will attack the support troops.
I can only send a large number of security troops to encircle and suppress these logistics troops.
These regiments are not very powerful, but they can cause us a lot of trouble.
Our Seventh Army seems to be stuck in the quagmire of war, with enemy troops everywhere.
The army must be sent to continuously clear out these regiments and armed forces to prevent them from uniting to cause greater impact after they grow stronger. "
Li Dazhuang stood up and kept pacing in the camp.
The opponents we encounter now are different from those in the past.
The Seventh Army's reckless style of play in the past was not suitable for the opponents it encountered now.
We must think of a good way to completely solve the problem of group training and arming.
Otherwise, when attacking Tianjin, there would be a city heavily guarded by the Ming army in front of it.
Later, regiment-trained armed forces harassed the rear of the army. This battle will be very difficult.
Beizhili is indeed the province under the strongest control of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty responded extremely quickly.
They even used the method of group training to fully mobilize their own enthusiasm and put them on the front line against the Qin army.
While Li Dazhuang was meditating, a man covered in dust and travel-stained walked into the camp.
"Master Pan Zhu is back."
Li Dazhuang was a little surprised when he saw Pan Hongcai coming back.
According to the previous arrangement, Pan Hongcai would have to wait for some time before rendezvousing with the Seventh Army.
Duan Ruide stood up and said hello:
"Master Pan Zhu is riding so fast, why are you so anxious?"
Pan Hongcai picked up the tea cup and poured a large cup of tea.
After he finished drinking, he explained the situation of the Shunde Prefecture military meeting to the officers of the Seventh Army.
After hearing this, Li Dazhuang patted his head and said: "It turns out that the problem of gentry regiment training and armed forces is not unique to our place.
The main force also suffered from this crisis.
Meng Zheng and others were still too anxious, and he was too careless.
Now it has been demoted several levels in a row.
He originally had a very good future, but due to his negligence, he suffered too many casualties in the army, and his career was immediately ended.
You must also pay attention to doing your best even if it is a small-scale war.
The battle of the weak defeating the strong has never ceased since ancient times.
I hope you are the ones who use the weak to defeat the strong, rather than being used by the weak to defeat the strong. "
Pan Hongcai also learned what happened just now.
He looked at everyone and said: "I have conveyed King Qin's intention very clearly.
Our army must now adjust its tactics, especially the thinking of grassroots soldiers, so that they can distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
The first division's attack speed was so slow.
The main reason is to distinguish the difference between the regiment-trained armed forces and the common people.
It is not for us to make the distinction, but for the people to make the distinction themselves.
We just need to remember that anyone who stands in our way is an enemy no matter what method he uses. "
This military meeting of the Seventh Army changed from reviewing its own problems to learning from the experiences and lessons of the Third Army.
At the end of the meeting, Li Dazhuang looked at Tan Fangyuan and said: "Tan Datou, I will give you another chance.
Attacking Yizhou depends on your performance.
In attacking Yizhou this time, you must be quick, accurate and ruthless to build up the momentum of our Qin army. Don't wait any longer. "
Tan Fangyuan saluted with a military salute, and he made a pledge and said: "Thank you, Commander, for giving me this opportunity. Our first division will definitely be able to show the majesty of the Qin Army.
If we fail to capture Yizhou, the delay is too long or the casualties are too great, I am willing to accept any punishment. "
…………………………
Tan Fangyuan led the troops and came to Yizhou City.
On the way from Nangong County to Yizhou, he had made it clear to the grassroots officers that they should not restrain themselves in the fight and let go of the fight when they encountered the enemy.
This time the Qin army will show a unique side.
The process of breaking Yizhou's city wall was extremely simple. The heavy artillery carried by the first division easily blew open the city gate of Yizhou.
The regiment training troops defending Yizhou did not have Hongyi cannons at all.
There was no impact on the artillery regiment of the 1st Division and the siege.
Tan Fangyuan commanded the army to rush into Yizhou City.
The performance of the Qin Army this time will determine whether their Seventh Army is a strong army.
Kong Erniu, the company commander of the Qin Army, led his soldiers to rush into Yizhou City first.
He saw the regiments defending the city were armed, and just like the previous city, they immediately fled in all directions after seeing the city broken.
They did not really escape, but hid in people's homes, waiting for opportunities to retaliate against the Qin army.
If left alone, these people, organized by the gentry, would disrupt the city.
He led a company of soldiers to blockade a street.
The soldier shouted loudly at the street exit: "All the people should come out of their homes. Reporting the regiment's armed forces will be rewarded, and those who tolerate the regiment's armed forces will be punished."
Bring all the people to the big square and let them report to the regiment for armed training.
They have tried this approach in other cities.
If you can really bring most of the people to the square, many people will report the group training for armed forces.
But this step is very difficult. Most people will not leave their houses under the threat of Tuanlian armed forces.
In their previous method, the Qin army searched the people's rooms one by one.
When encountering regiment training armed forces, he also advised them not to attack the common people.
Most of the time was spent on this.
Kong Erniu received orders from his superiors, and now his combat methods have changed and are no longer the same as before.
He stood outside a common man's door and shouted loudly: "Open the door immediately, or we will attack by force."
Kong Erniu shouted a few words, but the door didn't move at all.
"Throw the grenade and break the door open at the same time."
Soldiers threw grenades directly into the house.
At the same time as the grenade exploded, several soldiers pushed open the door with their shoulders.
Several screams immediately broke out in the courtyard, and there were regiments and armed forces inside the house.
Normal people, even if they don't open the door, will hide in the house and will not be harmed by grenades.
Kong Erniu rushed open the door and saw someone in the courtyard. Instead of slowly verifying the person's identity, he shot the person directly.
The sound of gunfire in Yizhou City was endless.
When the people discovered that the Qin army was different from what was rumored, they ordered them to open the door, but they directly attacked without opening the door.
Many people trembled and obeyed the Qin army's orders.
They had previously listened to the propaganda of Tuanlian Armed Forces, and the Qin army would not take the initiative to attack them.
Now it seems that this is completely a trick of the gentry.
The Qin army is the same as the Ming army. Regardless of whether they are benevolent or righteous troops, they are both tiger and wolf troops.
The gentry in Yizhou City were also surprised. The news came from Zhending Mansion that this method was used to deal with the yellow-robed thieves.
This is Gao Shiliang's personal summary of the effective way to deal with thieves in yellow.
I learned from the people who escaped from the front that this method is very effective and can stop the thieves in yellow for a long time. Why doesn't it work now?
The thief in yellow became different from the rumors and showed an extremely fierce side. This is the real side of the thief in yellow.
Tan Fangyuan smiled. It only took him one day to completely control Yizhou City.
He handed over Yizhou City to the expanded garrison.
Tan Fangyuan continued to lead his troops and marched towards Cangzhou.
He felt that doing so would cause less harm to the people.
The gentry regiments practiced armed force, and when they saw the highly offensive Qin army, many of them were afraid of death and surrendered to the Qin army, instead of choosing to kidnap the people and confront them.
Li Dazhuang led the troops into Nanpi County. He praised: "Tan Fangyuan is fighting very well now, and he can also fight, but he was a little constrained before.
If you let go and fight, training and training as a team is a small problem.
They were originally a group of farmers.
If we treat these people as common people, the fight will definitely be extremely slow.
Treat them as real enemies and destroy them with the force of thunder.
This way the fight will be much smoother.
It was King Qin who was far-sighted, discovered the problems of our army in time, and made corresponding adjustments. "
Li Dazhuang turned to Chief of Staff Duan Ruide and asked: "How is the battle of the garrison? Have all the regiment training troops in the rear been wiped out?
After capturing Cangzhou, Tianjin is ahead.
Tianjin is a city that the Ming army focuses on defending.
We must ensure that we have no worries. "
Duan Ruide said happily: "After the expansion of the garrison, the regiment training weapons in the rear have been completely cleared.
At the beginning, there were just too many weapons in the group training, and we couldn't clear them all one by one.
After receiving the order from King Qin, the garrison began to expand.
The logistics department transported many guns and artillery, and the garrison had enough soldiers and weapons.
Their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of regiment training armed forces. These regiment training armed forces are isolated and helpless. How can they stop the encirclement and suppression of the garrison. "
Pan Hongcai walked in from the outside and said happily: "Good news, there is internal strife in the Cangzhou regiment training armed forces.
Some people want to surrender, while others want to defend Cangzhou.
They themselves are already fighting hard.
When our army comes to Cangzhou City, we can easily capture the city. "
Li Dazhuang was extremely happy to hear the news.
“After our army launched a heavy attack, the situation changed greatly.
These regiments train and arm themselves, and they bully the weak and fear the strong.
Tan Fangyuan was still in control of Nanpi County, so he sent the second division Zhuang Renyi's light troops to Cangzhou quickly.
While the internal strife is not over, capture Cangzhou as soon as possible. "
Li Dazhuang saw an excited expression on his face when he saw the second division setting off.
As long as Cangzhou is captured, the next stop is Tianjin. They are not far away from besieging the capital and winning the final victory.
