Chapter I have something to say

Zhao Bing's unanimous words made the hearts of the Sixth Army feel in his throat. They didn't know what His Majesty understood and could not figure out what he was thinking. At the same time, they were also wondering if there was something wrong with what they said just now and whether His Majesty caught something, but after thinking about it, they couldn't figure it out clearly.

"Commander Chen, I'll ask you again!" Zhao Bing ignored the thoughts of these people and asked again after a moment of silence, "What are the infantry serving as the main attackers equipped?"

"Your Majesty, the main attacking troops are fully armed. Each person has a plan to carry muskets, bayonets, backpacks, shoulder bags, kettles, short shovels, breastplate, helmets, 100 bullets, four grenades, and three-day rations. There are also teams serving assault, each with ten kilograms of gunpowder bags, one large shield and one short ladder." Chen Feng answered this question in a slight manner, and he opened his mouth and came.

"If you follow what you said, the weight of each soldier should be between 30 and 40 kilograms, right?" Zhao Bing estimated and said.

"Report to Your Majesty, this is roughly the case, some are heavier!" Chen Feng nodded and said.

"Oh, how did the cannon be transported up?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"The artillery is too heavy and the road is difficult to move. We mobilized a battalion to open the road before transporting the artillery to the mountain, and then opened a launch position, which delayed a lot of time. After the main attack team was in position, it was delayed by an hour before launching the attack." Chen Feng said embarrassingly.

"That is, why do you have to use heavy artillery? Small villages like this, using mortars is enough to suppress the enemy's counterattack. Besides, do you have to prepare for artillery fire before attacking?" Zhao Bing asked repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, isn't Caodian required artillery preparations before attacking? In addition, I thought that heavy artillery was powerful and could easily destroy the enemy's walls and kill them with greater damage from the enemy, so that they could create conditions for the attack of the main attacking troops." Chen Feng reported.

"After you reported the combat plan, did your superiors raise objections?" Zhao Bing asked.

"Your Majesty, after deliberating on the combat plan reported by the Third Regiment, he thought that the deployment was tight, the preparation was sufficient, and the use of troops was reasonable, so he allowed it to be implemented!" Jiang Sheng replied incitingly.

"Then do you think the use of artillery can achieve the expected effect?" Zhao Bing asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, it seems that it is still a shameful person in hindsight, but it is because the mountains and forests are densely affected by the darkness of the night, so that the power of heavy artillery was not exerted. However, the combat plan will not be considered at the end, but the impact of the mountains on the use of artillery was not considered." Jiang Sheng hesitated and answered.

"Why did you miss the time and find that things are not possible, and why did you transfer your troops to take turns to attack? You didn't make adjustments in time." Zhao Bing took a deep breath after hearing this, suppressed his anger, and asked again.

"Your Majesty, the time limit given to us by the governor is one day. Otherwise, if the military law is in operation, the last general will have to launch a strong attack!" Chen Feng looked at His Majesty's unkind face, his heart tightened, and he blurted out his words.

"Nonsense, I have never said this. The time limit for you is two days!" Pan Nian frowned and shouted.

"The governor... was said by the last general, just to put some pressure on them, to be able to complete His Majesty's order in advance and add color to our six armies. Who would have thought..." Jiang Sheng stammered with a bitter face.

"Do you know what the crime is for falsely passing military orders?" Pan Nian instantly understood what was going on and pointed at him and shouted.

"Hmph, your combat plan has been reviewed by the third level of the army, division and regiment. Has no one raised any objections?" After hearing the three of them, Zhao Bing had roughly understood what was going on. In order to express his attitude, Pan Nian promised to pull out the two camps in front of him within two days, and then passed the pressure on Jiang Sheng when issuing the order. In order to please his superiors, Jiang Sheng forced the time compression to Chen Feng at the next level. As for what he said, he didn't need to think too much about what was going on.

"I thought that although there were some flaws in it, it would not affect the entire battle. Moreover, I also granted them the right to make the right to make the right things. Once there is any change, they can be dealt with at the right time!" Pan Nian replied.

"Well, General Jiang, General Chen, where is your command post open when the battle breaks out?" Zhao Bing nodded and turned to ask the other two people.

"Report to Your Majesty, I will dispatch and command in Qingping Town!" Jiang Sheng replied.

"Report to Your Majesty, I will open a command post ten miles away from the battlefield to command the attack." Chen Feng replied.

"Okay, one is far away from the other side of the river, one is in the camp, and the other is ten miles away. They are all very stable!" Although Zhao Bing tried his best to suppress his anger, he couldn't help but sneer.

He was very clear about the difficulties of combat communication in ancient times. Because of the satellites, optical fibers and omnipresent communication networks, it was easy to plan and win thousands of miles away. Even during World War II, when communication was not very developed, the military-level command post was opened a hundred miles away, and the battlefield situation could be grasped in real time through radio and wired telephones.

However, in ancient times, when communications were basically yelling and messaging were basically leap, I could only get close to the battlefield as close as possible to the battlefield. The distance of ten miles had exceeded the limit of vision at night, not to mention in the undulating mountainous areas, I was afraid that I would not be able to see anything after turning around. Everything could only be transmitted by manpower, but the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. When the news was delivered and the superiors made a decision and then conveyed to the front, the daylily was cold.

Therefore, it is very common and helpless to say that ancient generals personally came to the front and arrows and led their troops to charge. This is also to facilitate the real situation of the battlefield and be able to make timely judgments and convey measures to respond to changes on the battlefield. This is also an example of the generals, commanders, and even emperors who faced the enemy in ancient times were killed or captured on the battlefield. It is because they were too close to the battlefield and sometimes they didn't even have time to escape.

"Your Majesty, I will have something to say!" The sarcastic meaning in the emperor's words, as long as it is not a fool, could hear it, which made everyone in the tent panic, worried that the stewards of His Majesty would be burned by the tent, so no one dared to answer the words and remained silent. Suddenly, one person left the line, breaking the silence in the tent.

"Commander Li, how can you speak in front of Your Majesty?" Chen Feng scolded sternly when he saw this.

"Oh, who is he?" Zhao Bing looked at the man who was out of the line. He saw that he had a sad and angry face, injured his left arm, hung it around his neck with a bandage, and stood in a daze in the tent, but he seemed to have a sense of acquaintance. He pressed his hands and looked at Jiang Sheng and asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, he is the commander of the first battalion who served as the main attacker in this battle... The last general has sent someone to investigate him, and he will be punished seriously later!" Jiang Sheng saw that he was the commander of the main attacker, but he did not remember his name for a while, so he could only answer vaguely.

"Commander Li made you fail in the battle, what else do you have to say?" Zhao Bing looked angry, but his tone was very gentle.

"And Li, what you said makes sense, Your Majesty will naturally make the decision for you. But if you slander the superior and try to get rid of the crime, no one can save you!" Ni Liang, who had not said anything, pointed at the moment.

"Xie Dushuai, I don't want to defend myself. I just want to restore the truth and prevent those robes from dying in vain!" Li Ang said with deep tribute to Ni Liang. Then he turned around in front of the sand table, looked at it for a while, and pushed one of them down with his right hand.

"Commander Li, you must not be rude in front of you!" Jiang Sheng did not call out the name of his subordinates, but Ni Liang called out, which made him feel embarrassed, and felt that he was embarrassing himself. Seeing that he destroyed the sand table again, he shouted sternly.

"Report to the commander, the locations of the two villages marked on this sand table are wrong, and the arrangement and roads of the enemy are not right." Ang Lee did not stop because of Shangguan's scolding, but instead started to reshape. He felt that one-handed operation was inconvenient, so he simply pulled off the bandage to help him injuring his arms.

"..." Zhao Bing waved Jiang Sheng to retreat, but he left his seat and came to the sand table to see his operation. But after seeing Ang Lee clearing the sand table, he began to re-arrange it after a little thought. After determining the location of the two mountains, he also carved the roads on it, placing the forts, passes, trees, and rocks set up by the enemy. Although his arm was injured, his movements and techniques were very skilled. He had already shaped the sand table again in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Is your modification correct?" Zhao Bing saw that his left arm had bleeding due to his movements, so he took out his silk handkerchief and asked while wrapping it up. In fact, he had already made a decision in his mind, and understood that if he had not understood the terrain and his chest, he would not have rearranged the sand table in a short time without delay.

"Your Majesty, the last general's garrison is not far from the enemy camp. After that, he has inspected the terrain and ordered his subordinates to use the opportunity of picking wood and drawing water to approach and reconnaise. Therefore, he knows it very well and there is no mistake." His Majesty Li Anzhong bowed and thanked him, and said confidently.

"Do you think there is any mistake?" Zhao Bing waved to let the others lean over and let them examine it.

"It's roughly good!" Pan Nian said vaguely after seeing it briefly. The others nodded and did not raise any objections. But everyone's faces were very ugly, especially Jiang Sheng and Chen Feng's faces were simply beaten. He just said that he was ordered to strictly guard and never went forward to reconnaissance to cover up his mistakes of not being familiar with the terrain. Now a subordinate who is familiar with the terrain appears. Isn't this a deception?

"Since that's the case, let's talk about your objections to Shangguan's plan!" Zhao Bing did not pursue their mistakes in deceiving the emperor at this time, but looked at An Yan and said.

"Yes!" Ang Lee raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the last general has no objection to the commander and the commander using night attack to attack the enemy fortress of Bazhangshan, and he is very supportive!"

"Hmm?!" Zhao Bing was very surprised when he heard this, and he couldn't help but nod, and his eyes were complicated when he looked at him. However, the others all breathed a sigh of relief, their faces were a little slow, but they wondered what the hell was doing.
