"Ha ha, that's good." Yang Chendong was very happy to see Luo Po's words come to the point. He hopes that the officers below can grow rapidly and stand alone. Otherwise, such a big project of conquering the world can't be played by a few limited people. "Head Luo said very well. Even if so, what are you waiting for?"
"The sixth young master, the second battalion ask for war." battalion commander Chen Bo, eager to try, was the first to open his mouth when he saw the opportunity.
Kong Quanxin, the third battalion commander on the side, was still thinking about the gains and losses. Unexpectedly, Chen Bo had opened his mouth to grab the main attack power. At present, he said dissatisfied, "battalion commander Chen, Hanoi was captured by our Third Battalion first. Of course, the work of entering the city to grab food was completed by our Third Battalion, isn't it, commander."
Seeing that the two battalion commanders under his command were asking for war, Luo Po, as the head, smiled at Kong Jie, the political commissar, and then stared at Yang Chendong. It's not good for him to favor one over the other. Of course, it's best to leave such a thing to the sixth young master.
Yang Chendong knew that food was important now. It was not a time to argue. He immediately said: "Well, the third battalion has captured the East Tower in Hanoi. It's very tired. It's left to the second battalion to do the food grab. But the ugly story is ahead. If you can't control the granary truthfully, you can withdraw and change to the Third Battalion. By the way, when you attack later, you can let Hong Jin's Cross toe mercenaries take the lead."
The next step is urban warfare, which can also be called Street warfare. Naturally, its danger is much higher than that in the open field. Of course, Hong Jin's mutual mercenaries do such a dangerous job.
"Please don't worry, the sixth young master. The second battalion guarantees to complete the task." after Chen Bojing gave a standard military salute, he went down to make preparations. While gathering the second battalion plus two auxiliary battalions and four temporary auxiliary Battalions (the so-called Lengfeng battalion commander, they can mobilize far more troops than a regiment), he arranged for someone to call Hong Jin.
At this time, Hong Jin is busy happily.
Since Yang Chendong allowed him to build an armed army of 30000 people, he focused all his energy on this matter. When he first set out from Beidai City, he had already pulled up a team of 2000 people.
Originally, I thought it would take a long time for the team to grow. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the foot of Hanoi, an opportunity came. In front of him were 6000 captured soldiers.
It was originally 7000 people, but after Kong Quanxin's Third Battalion selected 1000 strong men, there were 6000 left.
A force of 6000 people suddenly appeared, but Hong Jin was very happy. He immediately sent someone to do the work of these people. There was no lack of means to scare them, that is, he didn't join the ranks of Jiaozhi mercenaries, so he waited to reform through labor and work hard all his life.
It's better to be a soldier and eat food than a coolie. Soon his team expanded from 2000 to 8000. Hong Jin also changed into a very powerful general.
But even so, Hong Jin has no pride at all. He knows that compared with real mercenaries, he is always an outsider, especially in front of the most elite cold front. He and his 8000 people are just a mob. There is absolutely no chance of winning in a real fight.
In such a mood, he was called to the second battalion commander Chen Bo. "General Hong, the opportunity to do meritorious service has come. The sixth young master said, you and I cooperate to kill into Hanoi city and control some food storage places first. By the way, you should be familiar with the terrain of the city."
Hearing that there was a war to fight, Hong Jin became excited. Although he also knew that using himself at this time was mostly holding a shield, and even the death and injury would be great, it was better to be useful than useless. Then he took the look of a mercenary soldier, stood at attention, paid a military salute and said: "Please don't worry, battalion commander Chen. The situation in Hanoi will be very familiar, and it will be very clear where to store grain. It is also clear that some ministers' house stones are clear. You just need to take people behind the general."
Chen Bo was very pleased that Hong Jin went on the road like this. "Well, we'll rely on General Hong. When it's done, our battalion commander will ask for merit for you in front of the sixth young master."
"Thank you, battalion commander Chen. That's what Hong Jin said. After that, he laughed.
With Hong Jin's assurance and leadership, 8000 cross toed mercenaries tied a white towel to everyone's right arm to make a difference. After that, the army quickly entered Hanoi from the downstairs of Dongcheng. Behind them were nearly 3000 troops from seven battalions with Lengfeng second battalion as the main force.
More than 11000 people suddenly appeared, and then launched a violent impact on Hanoi, making the originally seemingly balanced situation out of control.
It's true that mercenaries have captured the East Tower, but they are still in a defensive state because of their military strength. This also makes the Jiaozhi army facing them slowly relax their vigilance. In their opinion, it's a good thing that they don't take the initiative to attack. How can the other party dare to take the initiative to trouble them?
It was under such arrogant mentality that more than 10000 mercenaries were suddenly killed, which caught the Jiaozhi army in the city unprepared. Then there was a scuffle between the two sides for more than an hour. Finally, after Chen Bo appeared with real mercenaries, the situation became one-sided and the Jiaozhi army collapsed.
Just at the beginning of the war, the cross toe mercenaries killed more than 2000 people and injured more than 1000 people. Jiaozhi army suffered heavy losses, and the corpses and blood all over the ground have proved everything.
"Well done. There are no undead people in war, but they are valuable to die." Chen Bosheng was afraid that Hong Jin would feel heartache and lose too much, so he came over and patted him on the shoulder and said with encouragement.
"I'm fine, battalion commander Chen. Don't worry. Then we can rush to the third street in the west, where there is a granary in the city." Hong Jin shook his head and smiled.
Speaking of it, Chen Bo is too worried.
As he said, where there are undead people in war, it is very normal for a big war to go on, even if tens of thousands of people die on the winning side. I'm afraid only mercenaries, once more than hundreds of casualties, will be a great loss. So this loss is really not in Hong Jin's eyes.
Not to mention, these people have just joined his men, and they have no feelings for each other. They die when they die. Anyway, he can continue to recruit soldiers in the future. As long as he has the trust of Yang Chendong, he won't worry about the source of soldiers.
Hong Jin did not worry here, and the depressed became king Riley.
Originally, he gave ministers two days in a hurry, resulting in chaos in some places. But who would have thought that the mercenary even took the initiative to launch an attack, which made his so-called two days more tense and even felt that it was not enough.
"Pass on the king's order and send 20000 people to press on immediately. We must suppress the momentum of mercenary attacks." Li Li shouted to the general below in the palace. When he turned and came down to the temple, he ordered the people in the palace to quickly go out of the city with him. Take what you can take away immediately. Don't take what you can't take. Just hide it. He firmly believed that he would come back one day.
Twenty thousand people have been sent out, but they have no fighting spirit. Where can they be the opponent of mercenaries looking for people everywhere and trying to make achievements?
After several small confusions, thousands of corpses were left behind. The Jiaozhi army in the city fought and retreated, and most of them were concentrated around the west gate.
If we really want to cut off the retreat of Jiaozhi army, it will be a bloody and bitter battle. For the only way out, Jiaozhi army will not give up easily. In the end, it is inevitable that both sides will lose.
But Chen Bo's goal is not to cut off the retreat of Jiaozhi army. What they want is more food. If everyone's goals are inconsistent, there will naturally be a lot less conflict. Finally, after two days, the Jiaozhi royal family and all ministers and dignitaries left Hanoi. Chen Bo and his family also robbed the grain from two granaries and some large families.
According to statistics made by the logistics and Quartermaster's office, this food is enough for 300000 troops for a year.
With food, Yang Chendong's heart can be put down. While praising Chen Bo for completing his task, he also called Hong Jin and allowed him to expand his business in the city. Of course, the troops are still 30000.
The dignitaries in Jiaozhi run almost the same, but most people don't run. Their ancestral property is here. If they really run away, they don't know where they can go or what they can do, so they are at home like criminals waiting to be judged.
Until this time, 47000 Jiaozhi culture youth came in handy.
As early as when they were in chixian City, they had systematic learning. It can't be said that everyone is a scholar, but they can still do basic literacy and communication with others. After arriving at Beidai City, Yang Chendong met him several times and took several big classes. He knew exactly what to do next. Now it's time to send them to work. Under the protection of mercenaries, mercenary auxiliaries and temporary auxiliaries, they began to walk through the streets.
What these educated young people have to do is simple, even rough and violent. That is, they will tell the people the relevant urban governance policies of mercenaries and tell them that as long as they live like before, they should cultivate the land and do business if they should set up stalls, then no one will embarrass them. Even some grain opened by mercenaries will be sold to them to ensure that they can eat and so on.
