Chapter 991 Ji Zijuan Mobilization before the War

When You Shiren came to the top of the city, Feng Ziying was inspecting the condition of the newly built bastion.

The newly built bastion is semi-arc shaped, like steamed buns protruding outwards. This kind of bastion combined with masonry and cement is actually stronger than the city wall. It is basically difficult for ordinary city rams to cause too much damage to it. Big damage done.

 The only thing that may pose a threat is artillery, but according to what Feng Ziying learned, at least in the Inner Kalkha Division, the use of artillery is still at an extremely low level.

There may be, but there will be no more than twenty, and it is doubtful whether they will be transported thousands of miles from the grassland to break through the wall, enter the customs, and be transported into the interior to exert their siege power.

In Feng Ziying’s view, if he has that energy, it would be better to spend more time building some auxiliary siege weapons such as ladder siege vehicles.

If there is no artillery and only relying on crowds to launch an siege, the power of the bastion can be exerted to the extreme. This is Feng Ziying's greatest confidence.

The newly built bastions on the Qian'an City Wall are probably less than twenty feet apart. Such a close distance is enough to maximize the cross-fire power of the bastions. In addition, a low wall was rebuilt outside the city wall, so that Firegun soldiers can rely on this low wall to exert maximum shooting power during the first wave of attacks.

 Morale is usable, and Feng Ziying is quite satisfied with Zuo Liangyu’s performance.

This boy almost accompanied him to each unit and sentry post. Stimulated by the Mongolian invasion of their homeland and the high post-war rewards, the soldiers were full of emotions and enthusiasm.

Of course, this is before the war. Once the war begins, the surrounding partners will be dead or injured, and the blood and mutilated bodies will quickly make their enthusiasm fade. At that time, the real test will be the ability of the officers leading the teams in various ministries, outposts, and teams. When capable.

Feng Ziying hopes that through this battle, a group of outstanding officers will emerge, which will be the foundation for shaping the new army in the future.

"Brother, don't worry. These soldiers have all gone through several rounds of hard training. Not to mention, the mechanical memory and physiological reactions you mentioned seem to be true. Sometimes the dumber the people, the more they have gone through hard training." After the training, almost as soon as the order is given, he can aim and shoot without any hesitation. If he is told to move forward, he will move forward according to the slogan..."

Zuo Liangyu admired his eldest brother so much.

He also trained soldiers when he was in Bashan Camp. He trained the second unit of Bashan Camp with his own hands and feet. The time was much longer than that of these people, but in terms of shooting accuracy and coping ability, they were better than these. Helping the people to strengthen their strength, but in terms of discipline and obedience, this group of people's strength is much stronger than the old pawns they brought out.

This also forced him to strengthen the discipline training of his old soldiers in training. Otherwise, how can you lead these new soldiers to make the people strong?

"The memory set formed by countless trainings will allow them to subconsciously follow the orders. This is the advantage of collective combat. When countless cavalry swarm in, ordinary soldiers who have not undergone such intensive training will instantly become will collapse, but after going through this kind of training, he can at least persist in shooting for two or three rounds. As long as he causes damage to the enemy in these two or three rounds, the enemy's blood will ignite their courage. This is how new soldiers become veterans. The transformation,…”

Feng Ziying’s words deeply impressed Hou Chengzu who was following him.

Although his 1,500-man sailor battalion was trained based on what Shen Yourong received from Feng Ziying and combined with the characteristics of water warfare, the self-generated fire cannons allowed them to shoot faster than ordinary fire cannons, but the biggest The only shortcoming is that they, like this new army of gunmen, have never really been on the battlefield, have never tasted success and failure, and have never experienced the baptism of blood and casualties.

The war they will face this time may subject the sailors to unimaginable cruelty, but Hou Chengzu knows very well that only by experiencing this battle can they truly transform into warriors.

“So the eldest brother thinks that shooting at close range in a low wall can help them grow and transform quickly?” Zuo Liangyu’s trust in Feng Ziying is off the charts.

“Absolutely. This kind of flat-range shooting can better exert the power of concentrated shooting. They can feel the taste of war at close range. Maybe in just one day they can ignore life and death and grow into qualified soldiers.”

Feng Ziying responded calmly.

“Brother Huaiyu, how do your naval battalions plan to intervene in this war?” Feng Ziying turned around and asked.

 “But listen to your orders.” At this time, Hou Chengzu also bowed his hands and obeyed the order.

"Well, there is a tribe in Kunshan that uses self-generated fire guns. Together with your fifteen hundred people, the self-made fire guns of more than 2,000 people are enough for the Mongols to taste the taste of fire gun medicine. You will take turns as emergency preparations in advance. The team mainly depends on how much offensive intensity the Mongols will invest at one time. We will decide according to the situation. But in the later stage, I estimate that there will be loopholes and you will be able to top them. Master You collected them for us. Three thousand civilians, but these civilians can only help clean up the battlefield and treat the wounded. They can do nothing else, and they may even cause some chaos..."

The gentry who poured into Qian'an City brought many family members and servants, which caused the population of Qian'an City to increase dramatically.

 Fortunately, You Shiren had discussed countermeasures with Feng Ziying before, and all the houses in the county were unconditionally expropriated, and all the ample houses were vacated to provide temporary shelter for these people who came to the city.

And the best of these people were unconditionally requisitioned and organized to serve as civilian men once the war started.

"Don't worry, sir. If anyone dares to cause trouble, my people don't know anyone. They only follow orders." Hou Chengzu replied.

"It's not like there will be chaos. I'm just afraid that some people will shout and yell, which will affect the morale of the army." Feng Ziying waved her hand.

Wu Yaoqing also arranged a few secrets for himself here, keeping an eye on the movements in Qian'an City at all times. There are also characters in the Yamen of Youshi Ren posted around the city to secretly observe the public opinion. The county magistrate is still very skillful in this regard. .

Several people were observing and discussing along the city wall, and happened to meet the traveler Ren coming over.

 After some pleasantries, You Shiren also became more enthusiastic about Feng Ziying.

In any case, the additional 1,500 sailors still make You Shiren feel more at ease. After all, these are new armies that use firecrackers. You Shiren's previous worries have gradually dissipated. As long as the battle of Qian'an City can be ensured, The vitality of the entire Qian'an County can be preserved, and nothing else matters.

Bushiyamala stood under the steps of the city wall and looked at the few men coming down. The young man among them had a graceful and indifferent demeanor, and his graceless grace in his movements made everyone's eyes subconsciously fall on him.

After walking down the stairs, Feng Ziying saw Busia Mara in armor standing on the edge of the city wall, looking at him with a complicated expression, and quickly greeted him: "Busiya Mara, when did you arrive? Delgrad Woolen cloth?"

"Delgrad is with the warriors of our tribe, so I am here." Bushiya Mara restrained her other thoughts, learned the etiquette of Han military generals, and said with a fist in her arms: "I will be by your side this time. , so that I can help coordinate the master and the three thousand soldiers of our clan."

"Then it's all your fault." Feng Ziying didn't care, "Then I'll introduce you to Kunshan. You know me. This one is Master You, the magistrate of Qian'an County, and this one is Hou Chengzu, the garrison of the Denglai Navy Naval Battalion. Mr. Hou,..., this heroic heroine is Bushi Yamala of the Haixi Yehe tribe. His father is Beile Buzhai, the former Yehe tribe. The current Beile Jintaishi is his uncle. Bu Xiamala is known as the first warrior of the Haixi tribe. Yang Gu is his brother."

Feng Ziying's introduction made Busia Mara feel very comfortable. Her words of compliment and praise for Ye Hebu and her brother's praise made her face suddenly brighten. Although this guy clearly wanted to take advantage of Ye Hebu, But at least his attitude is still very good.

 The eyes of You Shiren and Hou Chengzu fell on this tall and strong woman.

She is almost a head taller than an ordinary woman. Among the men here, except for Feng Ziying who is slightly shorter than her, the others are also half a head shorter. They have slightly sunken eye sockets and dark pupils. His nose and cheekbones were as sharp as a knife, and his long black hair was randomly pulled into a bun and fell on the back of his head. He held a helmet with animal patterns covering the face in his left hand. He looked brave and extraordinarily brave. Eye-catching.

In addition, she is decorated with animal rings on her shoulders, her chest is wrapped in shiny black leather armor, and she is half-covered by a gray-white armor scarf. She has a round waist and round buttocks, especially those toned and slender thighs that are full of power, all the way to her knees. The boots and the simple and weird scimitar slung across her waist made this woman look like a female leopard full of danger and temptation, waiting to devour anyone of her choosing.

"I have met you all." Everyone respects me a foot, and I respect others a foot. Busia Mara still gave a very polite salute, which surprised several people, including Feng Ziying. In his impression, Busia Mara Not so good-tempered.

After several people returned the courtesy, Bushiya Mara's eyes fell on Hou Chengzu, "The ships in Funingyang River are the Denglai Navy brought by Lord Hou?"

Hou Chengzu was stunned for a moment and then nodded: "That's right, we came ashore from Funing."

 “No wonder.” Bushiyamala nodded, but said nothing.

Feng Ziying was also used to this woman's weird temperament and didn't care, "Busiya Mara, you Yehe warriors will temporarily stay in Tu'er Mountain. Together with the Jizhen Army from Shanhaiguan, if it can be confirmed that the Mongols are moving along the Qinglong River Coming down from the west, you need to march to the area east of the Qinglong River and west of the Yanhe Camp to assemble and stand by."

“What if the Mongols descended from the south of Qinglong River?” Busiyamala asked.

"That's easy. We are safe in Qian'an. If they want to attack Lulong directly, we will have more choices. But I think Zhuoli Ketuhunbatulu and Zaisai are not that stupid." Feng Ziying smiled lightly.
