Xu Huai also talked with Wang Fan about the construction of a new city at Beixiakou. After the new city is completed, he will submit a request for Xiangyang and hand over Jiuli Pass to the Jinghu North Road Metro Deployment Department (Anzhou Bingma Metro Supervisory Office) to be responsible for defense.

Chushan should still concentrate the elite troops and horses as much as possible to dispatch them, rather than disperse them to guard the various city blocks.

"Some people in Xiangyang are eager to think about your idea, but whether it can be done depends on the reorganization of Anzhou's troops, which is not useful!"

In recent years, Wang Fan has had his own selfish desires and power, and has had sharp conflicts with Xu Huai and the people of Tongbai Mountain. However, the situation is so bad now that everyone is prosperous and loses. Of course, he also hopes that the Huai Shang defense line will be as solid as a rock under Xu Huai's defense.

Otherwise, the north road of Jinghu is in danger and Xiangyang is in danger, and there will be no end to the nest if it is destroyed!

Another one is Zhou He, Gao Chunnian, Gu Fan and others, who still regard him, Zhu Han, Xu Wei, Wen Hengyue, Qian Zerui and even Hu Kai and others as a series, excluding excluding them indifferently, which also makes them united to ensure that Xiangyang does not return to the old road.

"The soldiers and horses of the Anzhou camps entered the military camps and garrisons in turn, and the generals took turns to Chushan to watch the battle! In addition, the establishment of the state camps should be as small as possible!" Of course, Xu Huai could not expect the soldiers and horses of Anzhou to become elites in a hundred battles at once, but he handed over Jiuli Pass to the garrison of Anzhou and did not expect them to fight a tough battle.

Whether a soldier can defend the city and resist a small group of enemy troops' attacks is not very high.

On the one hand, Xu Huai hopes that the Anzhou army generals and soldiers can take turns to watch the battle against the enemy, and on the other hand, he hopes that the Anzhou army organization will be adjusted.

The Dayue Banying Army consisted of twenty men, five teams were one capital, ten capitals were one battalions, five battalions were one battalions, and ten garrisons were one army.

This military system with sparse skeleton is more suitable for fighting in arrays.

However, if the fierce attacks and even more so, the two armies will need more military officers. As the backbone of the army, military generals need to support the entire army, but in fact, military officers need to be from top to bottom. The backbone of military generals is more dense and more practical.

Currently, the Chushan army is organized, with ten people as a squad, and the three squad is a squadron, and the three squadron is a squadron, and the three squadron is a squadron, and the three squadron is a squadron, and the chief and deputy chief generals are set up; the fifth squadron is a battalion, and the chief and deputy battalion commander and officers are set up; the third to fifth squadron are one squadron, and in addition to the chief and deputy chief and deputy chief Yuhou and officers in the military, they are also assigned to the record office to participate in the military, chief clerk and other officials to ensure independent combat, independent operation of logistics, and guard the side.

There are usually 1,500 to 2,500 people in Chushan, but the number of military officers and generals is three or four times that of the old system. It is naturally strong in attacking the tough situation and strong in resisting the natural strength.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Chushan has fought south and north in recent years, cultivating a group of elite soldiers and gathering a group of strong military generals; half a year ago, Xu Huai also officially established the Warriors' Shrine House, and further systematically trained military officers and generals.

Xu Huai hopes that Wang Fan will be deployed as the military commander of Jinghu North Road, and will shoulder the burden of reorganizing the military commanders of Jinghu North Road, and will also make achievements in military system reform.

As long as Jinghu North Road achieves results and achieves achievements, the Jianghuai and Chuanxia routes can be implemented, and the Dayue reserve troops will be sufficient. At that time, they will naturally not be afraid of seeking attrition with the Chihu people.

"Okay, I will write down everything you say. When I go back, I will write a note for Mr. Hu!" Wang Fan said.

Emperor Jianji and the Privy Council are currently very concerned about every move of Jinghu North Road. Wang Fan must first discuss such a big move.

As for sending Anzhou generals and officials to watch the battle against the enemy, Wang Fan could decide immediately, and specially sent Lu Xiong, Wang Kong and others to some generals and officials of Anzhou Military and Horse Commission to go directly to Chushan City with Xu Huai.

Although Lu Xiong, Wang Kong, Zheng Shou and others were private officials of the Wang family, they had made no less achievements than ordinary generals after following Wang Bing and Wang Fan over the years. In particular, Lu Xiong was busy guarding Gong County and other things. Wang Kong, Zheng Shou and others also directly participated in the first Bianliang defense war.

Therefore, when Emperor Jianji ascended the throne in Xiangyang, several generals including Lu Xiong, Wang Kong, Zheng Shou and Zhu Wei had to be granted military officials ranging from six to ninth ranks.

He was a military official, including Lu Xiong, Wang Kong, Zheng Shou and others, who followed Wang Fan to Jinghu North Road to take up their posts, and they could also take up their official duties in the Ministry of Deployment.

"The last time I walked on Tongbai Mountain Road was in the fifth year of Tianxuan. In just a few years, things have changed!" Lu Xiong and Xu Huai stood in front of the dock, looking at the snow next to the mountain road behind him, recalling the situation when Wang Bing and Wang Xuan and his grandson escorted Wang Bing and met Xu Huai on Tongbai Mountain Road, he sighed.

Of course, he had also visited Caizhou or Tongbai Mountain many times before, but either went to Caizhou City to meet Hu Kai, or met Xu Huai at Qingyiling, but he had no chance to walk the Tongbai Mountain Road again.

Lu Xiong was over 60 years old at this time, and he was running around the country over the years and was very sad. His hair and beard were gray, his face was covered with wrinkles, but he looked even colder.

The ferry came over, and Xu Huai and everyone boarded the boat.

At this time, the Huai River was not frozen yet, but the water flowed on the shore slowly, and there was already thin ice in the bay covered with reeds.

The ferry was a row of oars and warships. A dozen oarsmen worked together to drive towards the north bank like arrows. With an incense stick, they stopped at the pier south of Chushan City.

The generals and officials of the Anzhou Military and Horse Commission Supervisors and officials from the Youzhou Academy Wushizhai House came forward to respond - and pulled them to Chushan to watch the battle against the enemy and be familiar with the enemy's situation, not to serve as the uncle.

However, Lu Xiong and Wang Kong are old friends who are close to Chu Shan, especially Lu Xiong, who are also half-teacher and half-friendly to Xu Huai.

"Master Lu, my body is still so strong!" Liu Qiong'er received the news and was waiting in front of the dock for a moment. When she saw everyone getting off the boat, she stepped forward and curled her body to salute.

Tang Pan was stationed in Qingyi Ridge and Xu Xin'an was stationed in Luoshan. It was impossible to escape at this critical moment, but Tang Qing, Han Qi, Yin Peng and others all led their troops to guard Zhouqiao on the Chu Mountain or the south bank; Lu Xiong was considered half a master to them.

Liu Qiong'er had already prepared a private banquet in her house. In addition to Shi Zhen and Wang Ju, others, such as Xu Wujiang, Xu Wuli, Tang Tiande, Xu Sihu, Yan Xiaoyi, Niu Ershe, were all old friends of Lu Xiong and Wang Kong.

Although Xu Huai rarely bans the alcohol, under the current situation, everyone was concerned about the progress of the war and couldn't drink enough. After eating a few rounds of wine, Lu Xiong and Wang Kong also had no intention of rushing to the side courtyard to rest. They climbed the city wall with Xu Huai and watched the military situation at night.

The puppet Chu army made a strategy of building a joint camp in shallow manner, mobilizing tens of thousands of civilians to work hard to build camps and build camps on both sides of the Mingxi River; the enemy's garrison was extremely strict, and Chushan had no chance to go out of the city to counterattack, and he also built the outer wall of Chushan without stopping.

The war was so tight that more than 30,000 civilians gathered on the north bank and replaced them day and night for a month. At present, the outer city wall, which was more than 26 miles long, was finally built.

Because we must ensure that all the civilians work in the inner line under the protection of the outer camps and are not disturbed by enemy cavalry. The stone, soil, lime, river sand, wood and other materials needed to build the city are transported from the south bank, and more than 50,000 young and strong people are actually used.

With so many people's food, wages and the consumption of many tools and materials, the expenses on this outer city wall cost more than 100,000 ounces of money and grain in a month.

The construction of the city wall is far from enough.

The Chihu people siege cities in Hedong, Hebei, Heluo and other places, and have used stone-caught combat equipment on a large scale. The city towers that are prone to collapse naturally cannot be built, but the city walls need to be built with stronger war sheds with two layers of logs as roofs. The foundations of these war sheds cannot be directly laid on the city walls, and another foundation must be built.

In order to ensure a channel to send troops to counterattack, there are six large and small stone seal gates left in the northern city of Chushan alone.

No trenches are dug outside the city wall, but in order to restrict the enemy cavalry from approaching the city, a low horse-blocking wall will be built. At that time, obstacles such as horse-resistance and deer antlers will be filled on the outside to form three layers of obstacles to the outer city wall.

In order to suppress the attack of enemy stone-cattering equipment, a large number of stone-cattering machines are also needed to be deployed on the inside of the city wall; considering the convenience and accuracy of operation, a more stable abutment needs to be laid. Considering that the army is in a rush, the city wall may be partially or completely lost. Inside the city wall, an inner moat must be excavated, an inner guardrail must be built to strengthen the depth of defense.

In this way, a multiple defense system with city walls as the core is initially formed.

Of course, a large number of Fangyuan Military Camps that are conducive to street fighting and strong walls need to be built in the city, and the roads are flat.

Overall, based on the previous period, the construction of the outer city wall was successfully built in one month, just to cut out the outline ditch of Chushan City, making the internal construction less affected by enemy troops. It will take at least two months to first take shape.

The subsequent investment in money and food is also huge.

If it weren't for the huge amount of supplies transported from Huaichuan and Huangchuan this time, Chu Shan, who was already in short supply, would definitely not be able to bear it after all the staff entered combat readiness.

Lu Xiong looked into the distance and could faintly see a group of cavalry moving from east to west. Several beacon towers on the north were lit into bonfires, indicating that the team of cavalry was an enemy scout, frowned and said:

"Yue Hailou is extremely difficult to deal with. He also knew that the Chu Shan armored soldiers were fighting in formation. Their combat power was insufficient and they were difficult to resist. So he used this seemingly stupid method to advance one by one, which was also a headache!"

"" Xu Huai nodded and said, "Chushan City has just begun to grow in scale, and Qingyi Ridge is surrounded by dangerous mountains and is not afraid of enemy attacks. However, it is very troublesome to advance through Yuehai's floors!"

"The former commander of the puppet Chu army was Zhong Changqing," said Han Qi. "We calmed down the chaos in Tongbai Mountain, and used the method of building a village to restrict the space for the coalition forces little by little. He not only learned well, but also became more and more powerful!"

The city of Chushan City and Qingyiling, Yingcheng was extremely strong, and there were elite troops stationed. They were not afraid of the puppet Chu army being able to invade. Even the puppet Chu army dared to approach the formation. They all had confidence in killing the puppet Chu army and scolding their parents.

The problem is that Qingyilingying City and Chushan City are sixty miles apart.

Generally speaking, as long as you can defend the two key nodes of Qingyi Ridge and Chushan City, there are 60 miles of mountain ridges between Qingyi Ridge and Chushan City, and build some forts in some shallow passes that are easy to pass, such as the Shimenling Military Village, you can keep the enemy from outside Tongbai Mountain.

Now, by entering the construction of a company of camps, the puppet Chu army made an initiative to directly approach the camps and build Qingyi Ridge.

In this way, the connection between Chushan City and Qingyiling outside Shimenling will be cut off. If you want to adjust the deployment of troops and horses through the passage inside Tongbai Mountain (fortunately, the Huaiyuan-Qingyiling Road was opened at no cost) and reinforce each other, the mountain road will be narrow and tortuous, and it will take at least one more day.

The puppet Chu army was close to Chushan City, and Qingyiling Camp City built camps. They could also build the fort into Shimenling, and even drive the young and strong civilians to work hard to open up new mountain roads in Shimenling.

This will force Chushan to disperse its limited troops to more checkpoints to defend the mountain areas such as Shimenling.

At that point, the enemy's troops are absolutely dominant in size. How could Chushan ensure that there is no omission?

Once the sixty-mile-long defense line is wedged by the enemy with this seemingly stupid strategy, not only will the seemingly relatively safe production and construction environment inside Tongbai Mountain be destroyed, but the significance of the Chu Mountain troops defending Chushan City and Qingyi Ridge will no longer exist.

However, at this time, the Chihu people had the advantage in all battlefields, and Xu Huai could not expect to delay the time and Yue Hailou would withdraw his troops and rescue him.

Even after the Chihu people gained more advantages and results on other battlefields, they would continue to send more and more elite troops to the Huai River to participate in the war.

In other words, the Chushan soldiers and horses were forced to attack the enemy's camps close to the built one after another to ensure the integrity of the entire defense line.

However, the offense and defense are easy, and the price and casualties paid by Chushan are definitely much greater than the two points of simply defending Qingyilingying City and Chushan City.
