1704. Chapter 1704 Prepare to do it 9

What is the concept of more than 500 defenders guarding a city? In other words, this small city is two and a half miles long from east to west and one mile from north to south. If a soldier stands every five meters on the city wall, he can't even stand in a circle. , there is not even a reserve team left, and it is okay to maintain law and order in peacetime, but there is no hope at all in the event of a war.

Fortunately, the First Army Corps is constantly patrolling the province on weekdays. In addition to the main force of Songxi City that guards the capital and the 'logistics base', the First Army Corps dispatches two mobile troops of 2,000 people all year round to patrol the province. The patrols within the territory, coupled with the strict defense of the border and southern fortresses by the Seventh and Ninth Corps, gave them a sense of security.

In fact, from the mission configuration of these three main armies, we can also see some things worth pondering.

The coaches of the First Army and the Second Army, Shen Renzhi and Zhao Tianshu, were seconded from Yue Ying's field army in two batches. Of course, Su Yin usually borrowed people from Yue Ying and never returned them. Taishi Wu and Gu Xueqiao, as well as the dozen or so generals under Tianzhu Qixing, were all obtained from Yue Ying in this way. Therefore, when Yue Ying sent these two people here, he was already mentally prepared. .

Regarding Yue Ying's subordinates, Su Yin felt more at ease, but after all, the two of them had not been with Su Yin for a long time, so while serving as commanders of the first and seventh legions respectively, he also asked his two old subordinates, Taishi Wu and Gu Xueqiao as their deputy.

From this point of view, it is indeed quite interesting. Although Tai Shiwu and Gu Xueqiao's military qualifications and abilities are no lower than those of Shen Renzhi and Zhao Tianshu, after all, they joined the army alone at the beginning, and Shen Renzhi and Zhao Tianshu each brought tens of thousands of troops.

Speaking of which, sending Tai Shiwu and Gu Xueqiao as deputies does not necessarily imply surveillance, but it still has some checks and balances in it.

But for Guan Zhen, the commander of the Ninth Army, Su Yin chose to have unconditional trust. Even his deputy was just an unfounded Wang Zhaobang who was promoted directly from a staff general. In the army, Wang Zhaobang's influence was absolute. It cannot be compared with Guan Zhen. Not only because Guan Zhen has been with him longer, but the most important thing is that Guan Zhen is Yu Wensheng's minister. The loyal relationship between the minister and the king is the most important thing in this world. It is logical that Guan Zhen can directly carry out the orders of Yu Wensheng and Su Yin regardless of whether it is Da Qin or something else. But Zhao Tianshu and Shen Renzhi cannot.

However, the Ninth Corps, which Su Yin trusted the most and, to a certain extent, was the most direct lineage, had such a big problem.

Guan Zhen punched the basket of the hot air balloon with some pain.

After a moment, Guan Zhen let out a sigh and looked down with wide eyes, "No, aren't these guys immigrants from the Baiyue Kingdom? How can they be so proficient in battle formation? Look, their troop configuration is obviously An expert must be from the regular army, and it is definitely not an ordinary local army, but a field army! At this level, Tang Zhencang and the others could not achieve this level! I suspect that these are genuine soldiers from Baiyue. A field army, not some self-defense force in the three southwest cities."
