Chapter 2222: Anti-customer
Latest website: Now that he is ready to go to war, Jarions has made serious preparations.
Except for some of the inventory materials secretly transported to the warehouses in the northern mountainous areas for storage, the rest of the inventory materials are opened for supply and not left at all.
According to him: "If we win, we have everything, if we fail, the inventory has nothing to do with us!"
This is reasonable, so the city council agreed to divide the materials in the public treasury in the city.
There are about 25,000 men and 5,000 women in the city, all armed, and women are no exception.
Among the Nuggets, some people are well-equipped, ranging from blunderbuss and muskets to muskets (rifled guns). Some people can be equipped with five or six muskets.
This is the standard equipment for Swiss mercenaries in Europe. In order to win the battle, the mercenaries are equipped with exaggerated equipment. Some people have seven or eight muskets on their bodies. After one is fired, the second is fired. The main reason is that the muskets were loaded too slowly. , You can increase the firepower with a lot of guns on your body, of course this requires a lot of money.
Some are very poor. They are so poor that they only have a dagger for body protection. At most, it is a firecracker. Some people even use matchlocks or bows and arrows.
The armies are at war, and the firing range is too close, so going into battle is tantamount to being a target.
Matchlocks and bows and arrows are equally useless. The Chinese are full of flintlocks and can
Therefore, the muskets stored in the city warehouse were distributed to the people in the city, and then the ammunition was distributed.
The city treasury still stored some supplies and armed the people. At least 25,000 people were armed with spears, and at least they were qualified to fight.
Some of the women also got spears, and they will also go to battle. This brings the number of people who can fight in the city to 28,000!
The banner was played: the Johannesburg Freedom Army, known as "If you don't be free, you would rather die!"
There are still thirty-six artillery in the city. Before, there were gunners, but the training was very bad. Now they are in place all at once, and they are actively engaged in training.
In addition to guns and ammunition, there are armors, helmets, harnesses, medicines, etc., all distributed one by one.
Even the stocked coffee, tea, and shochu are not hesitant to distribute them. Anyway, if you win, you have everything, if you lose, there is nothing, so why keep it!
Qi Chuan kept passing the news that the Chinese were approaching, the atmosphere in the city became increasingly tense, and training became more frequent.
In addition to personal marksmanship, there is also an array. The three mayors, Jariens, Kronkamp, and Oyer led the Central Army, the Left Army and the Right Army respectively, each with 8,000, 7,000 and 7,000. In addition, 5,000 people from Brisbane and 1,000 people from the city participated in the war as a rear army.
Three thousand women were assigned to the left, center and right armies and directly participated in the war. Another two thousand women were trained in ambulance and were responsible for the rescue of the wounded.
The mayors are all busy. They stipulated the flag and horn signals. They agreed that the red flag would attack and the green flag would defend. One horn would be defensive, and three horns would be offensive.
At the first exercise of the 28,000-strong formation, it was fine to open the formation and shoot and advance forward, but when the queue was adjusted and the troops were mobilized to the other side, it became chaotic. The soldiers could not find the officers, and the officers could not find them. Arrived, squeezed into a ball.
When you get anxious, there is a quarrel between officers and officers, soldiers and soldiers, and soldiers and officers. They scold each other indiscriminately!
Unlike a monarchy society, nobles are naturally superior, and the common people are obedient and obedient when they see it.
And in the Netherlands of freedom and equality, it is not your turn to be the master of this world. Everyone has the same status. It is great to be appointed as an officer. Why should I listen to you!
Those temporarily appointed officers have no authority at all, and others disagree with them, but they cannot strictly enforce military discipline, otherwise they will run away!
"Oh God, how can we beat the infidels like this!" Jarrians couldn't help covering his face.
Although it was terrible, the drill had to go on. Thanks to the efforts of Jariens and others, the civilian army's drill was not satisfactory and gradually passed.
It seemed that it was endless training and excavation, everyone was exhausted.
As time goes by, everyone is fed up. Even Brisbane wants to fight because he knows that the food is consuming like flying, and the enemy will not come again. So when the food is finished, there is no replenishment.
Finally, the Chinese army arrived, and they came one after another, like a big snake with invisible tails, spear stings and their armors reflecting the sunlight, shining terribly.
Seeing that the Dutch swallowed, secretly nervous!
There are as many as 50,000 South China Army troops, including 15,000 Chinese troops, 10,000 Indian Imperial Army, 10,000 Japanese, Korean, Annan, Ryukyu, and Burmese mixed Imperial Army, and 15,000 civilians. (These civil servants have received military training and can serve as soldiers in an emergency, equivalent to a reserve army).
The main general is Yan Le, and the deputy general Li Guoying.
This time there are as many as 100,000 troops (not counted as civilians), but 100,000 people cannot be dispatched in the battle. They are distributed by the sea, and there is a support logistics line. There are only so many troops that can be sent to the front. Up.
Of course, this was a troop sent out to detect the number of people in Johannesburg. Yan Le thought that 35,000 troops were enough, so no more troops were brought in.
More pawns will increase the odds, but it also brings heavy logistical pressure.
When they arrived outside the city, the South China Army was not in a hurry to fight, and first built a camp and dug trenches to build the camp.
The officers, soldiers, and migrant workers were all busy. Yan Le and Li Guoying looked at the city with barrel-type telescopes. They saw that two soil barriers were built and trenches were dug outside the city to protect the city. The height of the soil barriers is not high, at most As a breast wall, on the frontal position, there are some wooden fences and some watchtowers. Baipi has been garrisoned and is looking over cautiously.
The high-magnification telescopes are of very good quality. Baipi thought that they were far away and the Chinese could not see them, but their movements were all revealed in the lens of Yan Le and Li Guoying. If Baipi could see themselves, Will be surprised.
After watching it for a while, Yan Le asked Li Guoying, "What do you think, man?"
"Le Jue, the other party looks eager and can't wait. Either it's morale or lack of rations. In my opinion, we don't have to rush to fight with them, let's take a moment!" Li Guoying said without thinking.
He is the veteran of the army ~www.wuxiaspot.com~. He can stand out from the crowd and rank among the heroes of the Ming Dynasty. How easy is it to be like him? You can see the strangeness at a glance.

"Are you not afraid that our army will run out first?" Yan Le asked.
"We use most of our manpower to ensure the supply of military rations. Even if the enemy runs out of food, it will not be our turn to eat all of the food!" Li Guoying said: "Especially when Baipi does not send heavy troops to attack our logistics line, there must be a problem!"
Under normal circumstances, the guest army will come from far away, the home army will surely clear the field and attack the guest army's back line.
Now Baipi is only attacking the army's logistics line in pieces, unable to break the cross, there must be a problem.
Yan Le laughed and said, "Since our army's logistics line is unblocked, our army is against the visitors, brothers, take a good rest!"
The officers and soldiers responded cheerfully: "Okay, boss!"
