"Crude oil!" Yang Chendong raised his eyebrows, reached for the porcelain bottle, opened it and nodded involuntarily. The so-called crude oil has been recorded in some books before. It should be said that it was recorded as early as the Han Dynasty. It came out of the ground, that is, what is now called oil. Only because people in this era do not know how to mine or use, there are few opportunities for military use.
It must be that even the crude oil that caused the fire last time came out of the surface. It was easily available and was used by the Mongolian army. If so, the flammability must be very strong, and everything will be natural.
"It's this thing. Have you ever figured out where they got it?" Yang Chendong, who knows more about crude oil, asked curiously.
"I've figured it out. This thing appeared in the low-lying place between Yidu city and Guangwu town. Our people actually went there once. Although most of the crude oil has disappeared, if you look carefully, you can still find some." Iron Tiger answered with his chest. It can be seen that this time they really used their heart and investigated everything very clearly.
"Is there such crude oil in Yidu now?" Yang Chendong asked a question of great concern.
"I don't know yet, but please give us some time to investigate." Iron Tiger shook his head gently, and then asked for instructions with a firm expression on his face.
It's only five days from the beginning to the present. It is not easy to find out these situations in such a short time, but it is obviously impossible to fully understand the situation of Yidu city.
Yang Chendong naturally understands this truth. He also knows that the time is too hasty, but he can't wait.
Mercenaries give the impression that they are victorious, invincible and invincible all over the world. This is the reason why they can grow rapidly. On the contrary, if he loses again and again, even if he takes out more money, there is no way to restore the previous macro like morale.
Of course, there is a more important reason. This time, someone hired a slap while he was away. If he didn't fight back, there would inevitably be some statements that would shake the morale of the army, and would be despised by other forces. This is the important reason why Yang Chendong was eager to start the army.
Whether the Mobei Mongol coalition army has hit the mercenaries hard before, or they are now occupying Yidu City, they are provoking. Once the time is long, if he has not responded at all, who will pay attention to mercenaries in the future. Didn't all the myths created before have been wasted? This is absolutely not allowed by him. But in such a short time, it was the news sent by Feng Liang and tie Hu that prompted him to make the determination of World War I.
Knowing the specific number of enemies in Yidu City, and knowing that there are highly flammable substances such as crude oil in the city, this is an opportunity, an opportunity in front of yourself. Yang Chendong is good at grasping opportunities, and this time is no exception.
"Under the order, all divisions and heads will go to Yang's house for a meeting immediately." Yang Chendong's eyes twinkle with fine light, and a bold plan has begun to take shape in his mind.
The sixth young master had an order. After it was sent to the battalions, the officers above the regiment immediately went straight to Yang's house. Soon, in the battle room of the house, all the school officials stood up. They looked at Yang Chendong standing in front of the sand table with their chests and eyes.
When all the regimental officers arrived, Yang Chendong looked away from the sand table. At this moment, all officers at the regiment level and above in the city barracks stood in front of themselves. They are Hu Mang, the independent division commander, and Xin Honghai, the deputy division commander; Xiao Feng, head of the tiger regiment (Yang Chendong personally changed his name); The cavalry strengthened the head of the first regiment to follow the wind, and the cavalry strengthened the head of the second regiment LV Zhuo; Suhe, head of the first regiment of Tatar cavalry, shebie, head of the second regiment of Tatar cavalry; Logistics head Yang er; Xu Yunsheng, commander of Reconnaissance Battalion (enjoying the treatment of regiment level).
Yes, farewell belongs to the first regimental officer promoted by the fire line.
Different from others, even Hu Mang and Xiao Feng standing there are people who climb up step by step. But this farewell was indeed promoted directly to the position of head of the regiment from the demoted general. Before that, he was unknown and unknown, but now he is called a blockbuster.
Only Yang Chendong, who has the deepest contact with him, knows the ability and wisdom of farewell. He even has the same ideas in many cases. He was originally a general in the Tatar army and half of his Han blood. Of course, such a person should be reused.
There are naturally some different opinions about shebie becoming the head of the second regiment of the newly established Tatar cavalry, but this is the order of the God of war, and no one dares to question it openly. Yang Chendong believes that he only needs to give the other party a chance to perform. In a short time, everyone will see the strength of this person clearly. At that time, no one will have any doubt about the appointment of farewell.
His eyes swept away from everyone, and every officer stood upright at the moment, showing a pair of tiger eyes, perfectly displaying his best mental state at this moment.
"There is only one thing I want you to come today, that is to attack Yidu city." there is no opening remarks, not even inspiring and morale words. This is because Yang Chendong knows that everyone is waiting for this moment.
Sure enough, at the next moment, everyone's eyes showed an excited and excited light, such as Hu Mang and others, who were full of murderous spirit. They were waiting for blood shame. It was like a year.
"Well, it can be seen from your state that you should all be ready. If so, I believe there should be no problem. Now I announce the military order..." in the combat room, Yang Chendong's orders were issued one after another, and an officer named stood at attention, saying that he promised to complete the task, A large net aimed at Yidu city also unfolded.
In a sense, this is not a good time to attack Yidu city. For one thing, the organizational structure of each regiment is not complete, just like the tiger regiment, because a battalion will be sent to transport military funds the day after tomorrow, so that their regiment should have 3200 people after expansion, and now there are only 1100 people. There is also the headquarters of the newly established second Tatar cavalry regiment, which should also have 3200 people, but now there are only 2000 people, resulting in a shortage of troops.
Second, even with these existing armies, as well as the 6000 recruits just recruited and the thousands of veterans of the original construction team who have not yet fully adapted to the style of mercenary troops, it is said that they should unify the army first, train well, and then send them to the battlefield. But in this way, when their training is completed, it will take a month or two, or even longer. Yang Chendong can't wait. He did not dare to think about what other grassland tribes would do if they could not show the strong fighting power of mercenaries in the short term. He was afraid that he would have to deal with more than 58000 Mobei allied troops.
Not waiting, and now sending troops can also play by surprise. Yang Chendong thought that the battle had already had 60% chance to win. If we had advanced the weapons, we could prepare ahead of time and prepare for war.
A series of orders were issued, and all the officers did not doubt him. Although they also knew their own shortcomings, this was the order of the God of war, and they must obey it. From the God of war's invincibility, they also firmly believe that this victory will belong to them.
The officers were ordered to leave one by one. Finally, everyone except Yang Er withdrew. Then Yang Er, who was tall and smiling, gathered in front of Yang Chendong, "young master, make a discussion. Don't let our logistics regiment guard the home. I also want to go to war."
"No way." he politely refused, and Yang Chendong's face became much more serious. "Yang Er, don't think the task of your logistics regiment is very light this time. I tell you that once the war changes, the security of the whole Shicheng will be handed over to you."
"Oh." Yang ER was rejected and said something listless. Yang Ercai didn't believe that the sixth young master would miss when he made a move, which was clearly comforting him.
Yang Chendong seemed to see what Yang Er thought. Yang Chendong shook his head. Facing the closest people around him, he was always hard hearted, "Well, you don't have any psychological burden. If you win this battle, do you know how many prisoners there will be? At that time, your logistics regiment will be busy. How to select useful talents from these prisoners and join the mercenary army is your business. It matters a lot."
In this way, Yang er's face became much more serious. The number of logistics regiments is not fixed. Sometimes they may only have thousands of people, and sometimes they may reach more than 10000 people. All this depends on the performance of the soldiers in the front battlefield and how many prisoners they can catch. And how to reuse these prisoners and make them use for their own use is really a very important thing.
In other words, the function of the logistics regiment is not only to cook for the soldiers, provide all kinds of weapons and logistics support, but also to serve as a new force and a supplementary force. Once there are good signs and several regiments compete for a captured soldier, the distribution task will eventually fall on him, which is a very popular job. Of course, this is also a popular job Is a very important job. Only the most trusted people will be placed in this position.
