"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 181
Chen Ziang led his troops to besiege Zhen'an Mansion, and the soldiers of the Qinghe Army were like a tide, and they took turns to attack wave after wave.
The battle lasted for a whole day, but the Zhen'an Mansion remained motionless, and the troops of the six banner battalions attacked by the Qinghe Army suffered a lot of damage.
The Qinghe Army troops of these six banner battalions were all recruited from refugees and lacked the experience of fighting in battle. Chen Ziang didn't have time to train them, so he had to train in actual combat.
Although a day's fighting failed to capture Zhen'an Mansion, all the soldiers of the Qinghe Army who participated in the battle also truly experienced the cruel war.
Many soldiers were full of fighting spirit at the beginning, and did not pay attention to the soldiers of the Imperial Guard.
After all, they came all the way, and the defenders of the towns and dynasties along the way all fled, making them underestimate the enemy.
The battle in Zhen'an Mansion made them realize that their enemy was not as weak as they imagined, and they had to go all out to win this war.
And they were too optimistic at the beginning of the war, thinking that if they rushed forward with a roar, the enemy would flee.
However, the facts have proved that their enemies are also fierce and fierce, and those who died in battle are the best proof.
Even the most skilled soldiers, in such a battle, fighting alone cannot guarantee that they will retreat unscathed. They have learned to rely on their own robes.
In the evening, Chen Ziang gave the order to stop the attack, and then ordered to set up camp and bury the pot for cooking.
It wasn't too hard for the cavalry to block and guard all the time, but the infantry responsible for the attack was exhausted.
Fortunately, Chen Zi'ang and the others fought all the way, captured many towns, and the seized supplies piled up like a mountain.
The daytime battle made these recruits see blood and realized the cruelty of war, and Chen Ziang also knew that they were very tired.
Therefore, in terms of food supply, they are not stingy, except for drinks, various dishes try to satisfy the soldiers.
Facing the sumptuous meals, the soldiers who had been fighting for a day really didn't have much appetite, especially when they thought of the dripping blood and red and white things, many of them hadn't recovered from their state.
Many soldiers just ate a few mouthfuls and couldn't help vomiting when they smelled the smell of blood floating from a distance.
"I can tell you, if you don't eat, you won't have the strength to carry a knife tomorrow."
"If you don't have the strength to carry a knife, how can you fight in battle? I'm afraid you will never have a chance to eat again, because you are already dead."
Seeing these soldiers who couldn't swallow the sumptuous dishes, the blood-stained officers didn't care. They chewed and passed on their experience.
Liang Guanlin, a soldier who was a scholar and joined the army, also felt very uncomfortable, but he also felt that the words of these veteran officers made sense, so he gnawed on the cooking cake with difficulty.
"Look at Brother Liang, he is a scholar, he can adapt, you are not as good as him."
Seeing that Liang Guanlin swallowed his food with great restraint, some officers immediately cited him as an example.
"Who is afraid of whom? Isn't it just eating, I can eat too!"
There has always been a competitive atmosphere in the army, and immediately some brothers grabbed the pancakes and began to eat them.
"How about just eating pancakes? Come, come, eat a piece of meat."
The officers, on the other hand, didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and took spoons to fill the soldiers' bowls with meat.
Many soldiers still had shredded meat that had been slaughtered during the day hanging on their uniforms, and now they saw large pieces of meat, and their faces turned pale.
"Give me all to eat, whoever wastes it, I will serve you with army sticks!"
The officers are also veterans who crawled over from the dead, so they naturally know that these recruits have just experienced the first stop in their lives and are very uncomfortable.
But they also knew that they might have to attack tomorrow, and they had to let these soldiers have enough strength to fight.
"Look at how cowardly you are, I killed two dynasty soldiers in the first battle"
Some veterans began to brag about their achievements, trying to set an example for the recruits.
"Just brag about you, how do I remember that you hid behind me and peed in your crotch in fright." Some officers couldn't help but joked.
"It's nothing, you must have remembered it wrong." The veteran retorted with embarrassment.
Seeing the veterans and officers bickering, the surrounding recruits also laughed, and the tense atmosphere dissipated a lot.
When the low-ranking officers and soldiers were sitting around eating and trying their best to adapt the recruits to the war, Chen Ziang was also calling the senior officers for a meeting.
Lin Yu, Li Lang, Zhou Ba and six newly promoted banner battalion commanders were all present in the temporary Chinese army tent.
Lin Yu is now in charge of commanding their cavalry units, Li Lang is in charge of the infantry, and Zhou Ba is in charge of coordinating logistics supplies, and he is a guest quartermaster.
"General, the casualties have been counted. During the day, we killed 1,700 people, slightly injured 1,100 people, and seriously injured 200 people."
At the beginning of the meeting, Li Lang reported the casualty statistics to Chen Ziang with a heavy heart.
Hearing that so many brothers were lost in just one day, the faces of the battalion commanders of the Six Banners were not very good-looking.
Their six banner battalion commanders were all picked up by Chen Ziang himself, and he had high hopes for them, but they got bad debts and had no face to face Chen Ziang.
"General, we have failed your expectations, you should withdraw me."
The No. 1 Banner Battalion suffered the most casualties. They lost more than 500 people in battle. It can be said that they were injured.
"If dismissal would solve the problem, you wouldn't be sitting here now."
Seeing this banner battalion commander who wanted to take the blame and resign, Chen Ziang also knocked on the table and criticized without mercy.
"Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, and it's just a small defeat. If you don't even have this psychological endurance, how will you lead troops to fight in the future?"
"Besides, we have encountered problems now. What we need is to find a way to solve the problem, not to evade and shirk responsibility. Removal will not solve the problem."
"General Luo Ying, tell me first why you suffered so many casualties?"
After Chen Zi'ang set the tone for the meeting, he immediately turned his attention to the new First Banner Battalion Commander.
The commander of the First Banner Battalion did not expect their loss to be so great, and Chen Ziang did not blame him unexpectedly, which made him a little astonished.
"Why, I didn't think of what went wrong, or did you dare not say it?"
Seeing that the battalion commander of the first banner did not speak, Chen Ziang couldn't help but continue to speak.
"General, most of the casualties of our brothers in the First Banner Battalion were caused by the arrows of the Praetorian Guards. We lacked shields and retreated without orders. The officers did not restrain the troops enough and failed to stop them in time. ?¡¡±
Facing Chen Ziang's aggressive gaze, the Commander of the First Banner Battalion had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer all their questions.
"I think you also have problems with your command. You rushed forward in a swarm, and even forgot the formation during training. I think you still underestimate the enemy." Chen Ziang added.
"What the general said is that I really underestimated the enemy."
"The eagle fights the rabbit with all its strength. Remember the lesson of this time. In the future, no matter how weak the enemy is, you must go all out and don't capsize in the gutter again."
"No!"
"Faced with these problems, how are you going to solve them?" Chen Ziang asked again.
"I will send people to chop down trees overnight to make shields, make sure that every brother has a shield for self-defense, and teach them how to avoid arrows, so that the officers can strengthen their control over the troops"
Regarding the problems they encountered, the commander of the First Banner Battalion also expressed his thoughts after a pause.
"Very good. After we go back, we will rectify according to what you said. Only by constantly summing up experience can we make continuous progress. I hope you can gain wisdom from a pitfall."
"No!"
"Second Banner Battalion Commander, tell me, your problem?"
Soon, Chen Ziang called the name of the commander of the Second Banner Battalion and asked him to analyze the problem and propose a solution.
After everyone had spoken, Chen Ziang also made a summary, asking them to check for omissions and make up for vacancies, so as not to fall twice in one place.
At the end of the meeting, Chen Ziang also spoke a few words of his heart to these confidant generals.
"Brothers, you may think that it is cruel and cold-blooded for me to let these newly trained recruits fight, but what I want to tell you is that our enemies are more powerful than we imagined."
"If we can't quickly become stronger and these recruits can't quickly adapt to the battlefield, then in the near future, we will only be destroyed, and everyone will die."
"Surrounded by powerful enemies, we can fight a bloody road only by striving for self-improvement, freeing countless people in the Far East from suffering, and preventing us from being bullied by other countries in the Far East!"
