After dawn, Zhu Cun, who had eaten steamed cakes with fish meat filling, crushed bean soup, grilled fish and other seasonal breakfasts with the soldiers on duty in the camp, also came to a large earth platform several feet high outside the west gate of Guangling City. On the four sides of the earth platform, many battlements-like bunkers were already surrounded by willow frames and straw bags.

Under a simple wall signal tower serving as the command center in front of the formation, several rows of Hu beds (mas) placed in the open air are the daily regular meetings in front of the formation. Before the regular meeting begins, a handsome man came forward to report in a low voice:

"The night battle situation has been counted out. Four hundred and fifty-three abandoned corpses were found in front of each section of the formation. In addition, no wounded were found, and no wounded were found. They were suspected to have been executed on the spot or retreated with them."

"After checking and inspecting the corpse on the spot, it was found that only a few of them had calluses on the tiger's mouth, back of hands and elbows. Most of the martial arts armor were old objects. The preliminary judgment was another round of harassing feint attack..."

"In addition, last night, more than a hundred people in the city snorkeled in the dark from the east water road, but were caught by traps, ropes, blocks and other objects set up, killing most of them. According to the footprints afterwards, only a dozen people were able to cross the boundary, and now the cruise team is pursuing with all their might."

Zhu Cun, who was sitting on Hu's bed, listened and watched the delivery of documents, and occasionally nodded slightly to express his affirmation. Then the many generals and military officials who attended the scene also sat down spontaneously and in a low voice, but he began to whisper with the left and right with the spare time before the morning meeting.

"But I don't understand why I always leave this hole and then randomly let go of some fish that missed the net?"

"If it weren't for this, how could the city rush out to die again and again?"

"Isn't this just a blind plan to cut the flesh with a blunt knife? As long as you still have some luck, you will naturally not stop easily..."

"What's more, the people in the city want to harass this constantly, which makes our army run away with exhaustion, but they don't know the truth about what they think?"

"This army has its own corresponding regulations, such as those blocking nets, trenches and pits, foot signs, and the stars buried in the ground, and the fast gunners on the sentry, aren't they prepared for this?"

"As long as you can be flawed in front of the formation, you will never be confused. Even if there are so many people in the city, there will not be enough to send them to seek death!"

"Then aren't you afraid that these fish that escape the net will be disturbed by the rear? Since you are willing to take risks, you are afraid that they are all stupid and stubborn and hard-core people among them."

"In fact, how many people can really miss this night, ten or more?"

"The Governor's Office has been promoting the transformation and purge in Jiangbei prefectures for more than a month; even if you can escape a few remnants, you will lose the foundation of the countryside to hide and echo; what is the difference between it and ordinary bandits and riots?"

"On the contrary, the remnants who escaped back have the opportunity to connect those dissidents who are hiding and dormant in the countryside. That is the solution to the Anti-Rebel Association and the Preparatory Department that can achieve a long-term stability once and for all!"

At this time, Zhu Cun also listened to the briefing and slowly raised his head and patrolled left and right. The buzzing sound on the spot suddenly became clear. Then his eyes finally fell on Luo Nian, who was sitting in the front row of the ejaculation master. The other party quickly stood up and bowed:

"I have reported to the general that the shooting teams have been effective in suppressing and deterring the city over the past few days."

"Especially after the earth and high bases in front of the city gates were completed one by one, the defenders on the city were even more unbearable to shoot at our army..."

"Even the defending enemy, don't repair the big plaque overnight, protect the cards and other objects, and cover them tightly behind the city plate, thinking that it is a means of hiding and avoiding war..."

"Then our army changed its course and concentrated on shooting skills to launch a harassing battle with cold guns and cold arrows. Several people were hiding in the platform, so as to attack the generals and officials who showed their heads in the city...

"And then in the battle, I found that the crossbows guarding the enemy on the top of the city were neither as far away as our army's muskets nor as thorough as firearms. So I focused on the attack and harassment of the firearm team, and the enemy could not resist for a while...."

"So, after many days and nights of continuous attacks and attacks, there has been a long time since the defenders who dared to show up on the city. Among them, a group of gun strikers with both hands and eyes have emerged and discovered."

"So, please be allocating more equipment and ammunition, thinking that you will continue to work hard!"

"The firearms and medicines can be guaranteed to be sufficient and can also expand the scale of the strike, but the direct artillery team should not act rashly for the time being."

Zhu Cun nodded and said. Then, another captain from the combat engineering regiment reported:

"The headquarters made another breakthrough and discovery in the hydrological exploration around Guangling City, along with the attempts to dig under the city..."

"Please rebuild the embankment at the breach of Tianchang Lake to intercept it and further lower the groundwater level in Guangling City;"

"As long as the surface waterline is lowered below several outflow channels in the north of the city, our department can carry out further engineering operations and dig the dark trenches into the moat..."

"Preliminary estimates can be made to allow the water gates and gates with lower terrain in the east of the city to have large enough gaps and gaps..."

"Then let's take out a detailed plan, compile the manpower and material investment required, carefully explore and calibrate the area of ​​operation, but don't rush to start construction and gather manpower, so as not to notice any clues and rumors on the city. If you are wary and correspond, it will be unbeautiful."

Zhu Cun made a decision after hearing this: And the military medical officers who accompanied the battalion reported the relative health status of the new army, as well as the proportion and quantity of wounded and sick people who had accumulated over a long period of time, can now return to the team. The transfer and reserves of materials from Jiangdong and upstream areas within one tenth of the report on the grain and materials; the rotating materials officers reported on the daily base of equipment and materials consumption in the army...

However, looking at these meticulous or serious faces, and young and strong, Zhu Cun couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Because there were a few familiar faces that could still be called nicknames, there were no more figures and existences of the former old subordinates.

Or, because of the old pattern of origin or the limitations of their own temperament, most of these people can no longer keep up with the current vigorous development of the Taiping Army; so they are naturally replaced by these more powerful, more talented, more energetic and energetic young newcomers, and gradually retreat to the second and third tier positions, or simply raised by Rong to have a life of more than a lifetime.

Of course, in a sense, Zhu Cun also had similar hidden worries and sense of crisis. Although according to private rumors, as one of the few senior executives of the Taiping Army, he had long been qualified to open a government office. Although he had many slaves and had a few servants to assist in handling documents, he did not bring any of them when he went out of the battle this time.

Now only some of the personal soldiers who have followed him for many years as a shield, and some young men who have been selected from the army to run errands. As for daily food and equipment training, discipline and discipline correction, rewards and punishments, and transfers; they have their own corresponding positions and the officers and officers who are assigned to the subordinates; and the many responsibilities of assisting military personnel are undertaken by the staff and military officers appointed by the Grand Governor's Office.

Therefore, as a commander-in-chief, he, as long as he takes charge of the command of the enemy's combat, delegates and supervises the specific work of these subordinates, and uses this to grasp the situation on the battlefield and other main functions. At least compared to the main general who is in full swing in every detail, Zhu Cun's part of the responsibility here is undoubtedly relatively relaxed and saves much more trouble and worry.

In fact, in this process, no one planned to vote with him, or even follow him to form a team to establish a mansion and build a team; but Zhu Cun gave righteous words to him. As the saying goes, "The vassal states are the root of the chaos in the world for two hundred years. Since the Taiping Army wants to pacify the world and create a peaceful and prosperous era, we should be an example and do what we do and what we do not do. How can we set this precedent again?"
