Chapter 503

The soldiers all rested. Kong Quanxin, the battalion commander, did not rest. He called four company commanders and six other auxiliary battalion commanders to hold a meeting in front of a lit campfire.

After leaving Beidai City, Kong Quanxin's excitement never stopped. This is the first battle against the Hanoi City, the capital of Jiaozhi country. Now it has been handed over to himself, which is enough to prove that the sixth young master attaches great importance to him. This is also the first time that a mercenary fought with the enemy's capital, and it will certainly fall into the Annals of history. As a commander commanding this war, he will certainly be remembered in the development history of mercenaries.

But whether the record is good or bad this time depends on the play tomorrow morning. All the officers were called and discussed together.

Although there are only seven battalion commanders and themselves, there are still high and low levels. For example, Kong Quanxin, the cold front battalion commander, has the highest natural position and power. He is equivalent to a class a battalion commander, the auxiliary battalion is equivalent to a class B battalion, and the temporary auxiliary can only be that the third line army has become a class C battalion.

Therefore, at the beginning of the meeting, the initiative was in Kong Quanxin's hands. He didn't even ask the other six battalion commanders what they meant, but first focused on Tiance, the commander of the first company of the Third Battalion on the far left.

If Leng Feng's third battalion is the main attack company, the company commander of his company is the best main company of the Third Battalion. At least the destructive power and military strength of this company alone are much stronger than an auxiliary battalion, and more than three or four times higher than those of temporary auxiliary soldiers.

"Company commander, how about your main attack in World War I tomorrow?" without too much politeness, Kong wholeheartedly asked.

"Thank the battalion commander for his trust. Yilian promised to complete the task." Tiance stood up with an excited red face.

This naturally caused some dissatisfaction among the other three company commanders of Lengfeng Third Battalion. But there is no way. Who let others be a company commander? In the previous small martial arts competitions held in the camp, a company has always been a winning company and is the best in all aspects, which has also been recognized by everyone. Considering the importance of tomorrow's World War I, although there was still some jealousy in the bottom of my heart, the three company commanders didn't say anything at this time.

It's good to be unconvinced by each other and have a certain degree of competition. However, if an internal struggle is formed for this reason and eventually affects the overall combat effectiveness of the whole three battalions, it is a major event. The result of the handling is also very direct. Whoever fights inside will leave. For this reason, since the establishment of Leng Feng, four company level cadres have been taken down for this reason, and they have been reported to the sixth young master for approval.

It was precisely because they wanted to make more achievements that the four company commanders with great prospects developed into secretly mixing children. Later, it was found by the political workers that they reported to the sixth young master. The four were directly dismissed and thrown into the factories in chixian city for probation. If they did not perform well, they would be sent to work in the end, There really is no future.

The sixth young master said more than once that three legged toads are hard to find, and there are many people with two legs. Especially in the cold front, there are more heroes and less people. If anyone dares to keep such a mind and wants to challenge his bottom line, it's a big try.

After the incident of the four company commanders, the feelings between officers were much better. Normal competition still exists, which is also encouraged by the above, but if anyone does anything to win, there is really no such thing as mixing with each other. Perhaps there is such an idea in my heart, but I absolutely dare not do it.

After being named by battalion commander Kong Quanxin, Tiance looked excited. Kong Quanxin was also very satisfied with the morale of the other party and nodded: "Well, I'll see your company's performance tomorrow morning. Other battalions and companies will cooperate with you well. But the ugly story says that there is a leader. If you don't perform well and can't reach the average level of usual training, the battalion commander will have the right to replace you at any time. Don't come to me to complain and report grievances at that time."

"Yes, I promise to finish the task." Tiance scratched his head with embarrassment. Obviously, this is not the first time that he gave his face to the superior officer when he couldn't grab the main task.

Kong Quanxin decided the main task so quickly. The auxiliary battalion commanders and temporary auxiliary battalion commanders on the side were envious.

But I can only envy it in my heart. The strength of others' cold front is there. With the same bullets distributed later, people's target rate can reach as much as 60% or 70%, but the average target rate of temporary auxiliary soldiers is only 30%. Under this huge difference, people are unconvinced and have to be convinced.

The main attack task is arranged, and then the auxiliary attack task is assigned. In this regard, there was a military plan before the northern belt city started, but now it is just repeating it. It is precisely because there was a plan long ago that this pre war meeting was held in an orderly manner.

Compared with the calm of mercenaries outside the city, the Jiaozhi army in Hanoi was shocked by the sudden emergence of the enemy.

When the general on duty reported the discovery of mercenaries to Prince Li Yuanlong in the palace, he was shocked. The first sentence was, "how can these mercenaries be so fast? Did they fall from the world?"

No wonder Li Yuanlong sighed that the distance from Beidai city to Hanoi city is nearly 200 Li. According to the marching speed of Jiaozhi army, it is generally about three days fast, and four or five days slow. But in less than a day, the mercenaries finished the whole journey. It was only this foot power that made people look at it with admiration.

All the generals in the city were also called to the main hall of the palace. After learning the news, they were also surprised one by one. Like the last time Huang Hua took his army to attack Beidai City, he had tried his best, but it took five thousand troops two and a half days to get to Beidai city. In comparison, isn't his marching speed no different from that of a snail?

Fortunately, this topic flashed by. The first thing we should do when we get together is to think about what to do next.

The original plan was to arrange troops out of the city tomorrow. But now it seems that it is not appropriate to do so. Prince Li Yuanlong set his sights on general Ruan gengwang. After all, the first battle of the previous plan was completed by this person.

Before, Ruan gengwang's headquarters made contributions to the joint campaign of King min in the border of Nanming. At the time of sending troops, there were only 50000 people. Later, it grew to 100000 people, and nearly 10000 captured Han people and all kinds of gold and silver treasures were sent back. At that time, he was in the limelight.

At that time, Ruan Geng Wang was also beautiful and defiant. With the emergence of mercenaries, this situation began to reverse, so that only half of his 100000 people really returned to Hanoi.

When the troops were sent out, there were only 15000 defeated soldiers left when they came back, which made many people question Ruan gengwang's ability. It happened that Prime Minister Ruan Chuncheng went to Beidai city to negotiate with Jiaozhi army, and his position became more precarious. Helpless, he had to try his best to win the task of being the first attack, hoping to recover the previous defeat and become the pillar of the generals again.

Li Yuanlong also gave him a chance to reform. Taking advantage of his position as Prince, he persuaded the people. Not only did he not take back his original power of leading 15000 troops, but also allocated 5000 troops to him, making up 20000 for the vanguard army.

With 20000 pairs of 3000 mercenaries, the number is 7 to 1. Compared with the home battle, no one will see the possibility of failure. But now the sudden emergence of mercenaries has caught them by surprise.

But only after the initial panic, Ruan gengwang came out of the train in armor, hugged his fist and said to Li Yuanlong: "Your Highness, the prince will be willing to lead troops out of the city overnight to prepare for tomorrow's war."

"OK." Li Yuanlong said, "so general Ruan has worked hard. He can go to get 1000 iron shields for tomorrow's war. Other generals can do their own work as agreed before. When it's dawn, they will go to the city building with the crown prince."

"Yes." the generals bowed and answered in unison. Ruan gengwang, one of them, was flushed with excitement.

Soon after the generals from the palace returned to the camp, Ruan gengwang moved. Twenty thousand soldiers came out of the east city and began to line up two miles outside the city. This has also attracted the attention of mercenaries. The two company commanders in charge of security are bayonets and guns, and the insurance is opened. In case of any accident, the guns will roar.

Fortunately, Ruan gengwang just left the city and didn't mean to attack immediately. Maybe he also thought of taking action at dawn. This is an opportunity to perform well in front of the prince and all civil and military officials. If we rush to camp all night now, even if we win, how many people can see their majestic posture?

It's also better that Ruan gengwang didn't send troops overnight. Otherwise, they who are not good at night fighting will only be more miserable if they lose. Of course, general Ruan has no experience of this. Everything will not know what it is to strike a stone with an egg until dawn and wait for the results of the war.

Next, although the distance between the former armies of the two sides was less than three miles, and the barracks of the other side could be seen from a distance, they were safe and sound. When the next day began to dawn, the cooking smoke in the barracks rose, the firemen began to be busy, and a big war was about to appear on the earth.
