Kong Youde still remembers that in Shanghe and Linyi, a seventh-rank magistrate, he dared to use various reasons to make him a third-rank genius general. The key is that he was still in the system at that time and had no way to deal with them.

In order not to cause a big trouble, I had to swallow my anger and not allow the soldiers to rob the place. So, under the resentment of the soldiers and the dual effects of the plague, the soldiers finally collapsed and roared, and finally got to this point.

If the logistics supply cannot keep up, no matter how strong the army is, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. During the "Ji Si Change", the Shanxi soldiers led by Shanxi General Geng Ruqi mutinied and then returned, which is the best interpretation.

The idea of ​​the Shanxi soldiers was easy to understand at that time. I worked hard from Shanxi to Northern Zhili and came to fight for your men in the capital. You didn't even care about food and let us fight against the enemy on hunger? The master didn't serve him, and he scattered and went back to his own house. After he went back to Shanxi, he had some food to eat. If he didn't leave, he would starve to death before he had a war with the Tartars.

Now with complete logistics support, not only Kong Youde, the commander, has become much more at ease, but the soldiers below are the same. As long as you listen to the general's orders honestly and fight whatever you want, you don't need to worry about anything else. When the time comes, you can fight bravely and get military achievements.

As soon as the camp was completed, Kong Youde began to think about the issue of attacking Sun Jie Town. Although the artillery transporting heavy artillery was still in the rear and it was expected to arrive in two days, and the Folang machine would not arrive until tomorrow, Kong Youde did not plan to wait until then to start the war. Sun Jie Town in front of him was just a small town, and there were not many Ming troops stationed, so it was easy to take it down.

According to the scout's investigation, there were a total of 800 Ming troops stationed in Sunjie Town, of which 200 were soldiers under the command of Wu Anbang, the general of Mingdeng Prefecture. The rest were the guards of Qishan Qianhu Sub-south and the young and strong men who were temporarily convened by the magistrate of Fushan.

Sunjie Town is just an ordinary town. It has no moat and the height of the city wall is only 150 meters tall. It can be seen that many places are incomplete and are temporarily repaired, so it is not very difficult to fight.

So Kong Youde decided to attack the city overnight. Of course, the main force of the attack was the new recruits, a total of 900 people, 300 musketeers under Cheng Xikong and Meng Youcai, and 300 infantry under Cui Yongping.

Apart from the few players who led the team, there were basically no veterans. Despite this, Kong Youde was still very relieved of them because the night was their biggest helper.

During this period of the Ming Dynasty, there were only a handful of troops able to conduct night attacks. So far, Kong Youde only knew that the Shenwu Zuoying under Peng Youmo was the command of Peng Youmo. As for why few troops were able to attack at night, it was actually because of night blindness.

Modern people rarely have night blindness and cannot experience that feeling. Even if the light is dim or at night, you can still see clearly. However, people with night blindness are no different from blindness at night.

As a time traveler, although Kong Youde doesn’t know much about night blindness, the cause is very simple, that is, vitamin A deficiency.

Soldiers in the Ming Dynasty were generally malnutrition, which led to long-term deficiency of vitamin A and common night blindness.

There are actually many foods with high vitamin A content, such as animal liver, carrots, egg yolks, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. These are all things in high school biology textbooks, and Kong Youde still has some impression.

Corn was not introduced to the Ming Dynasty for a long time. Although the sweet potatoes were a little longer, most of them were planted by the resettled Liao people and used as seeds.

Egg yolks and animal livers are too luxurious. Carrots were introduced to China since the Song Dynasty. Shandong was also the main planting area {Shandong was still the main production area of ​​carrots in later generations}, so it naturally became the best choice.

Of course, relying solely on carrots to supplement vitamin A is still too luxurious for the army of more than 10,000 people. Kong Youde had to think of another way, boil water with pine needles.

Boil the pine needle for half a time, then filter out the residue and then drink it. Although it is very difficult, in the face of the powerful military discipline, these soldiers could only hold their noses and drink it. With carrots, in less than ten days, except for a few people, the night blindness of other soldiers was solved.

In addition, Kong Youde also ordered them to train at night, basically once every three days. After more than a dozen night trainings, their ability to move at night is not much problem.

Soon, Cui Yongping, Cheng Xikong and Meng Youcai gathered the new recruits and announced a combat plan to prepare for the siege.

The difficulty of siege this time was not very high, and there were only 100 enemy troops in the city. Only 200 enemy soldiers were fighting soldiers, and the rest were all made up. And at night they could basically not make any effective resistance.

"Let's start!" Kong Youde ordered lightly.

Today is March 18th. Although it is not the full moon, on this cloudless night, the earth is still shining brightly, and there is no need to hit the torch. Nine hundred new recruits carried simple siege equipment and began to enter the city wall.

...

Sun Jiezhen, the Central Army’s tent.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the bright tent. It was not difficult to see that everyone had a big word "sorrow" written on their faces, and they were worried about the next defensive task.

After a moment of silence, a fat and greasy middle-aged man stood up and said in a panic, "Mr. Ding, this bandit soldier is coming fiercely. He arrived in Sunjie Town in just one day. It must not be so easy to deal with. How to fight the thief? I hope that Lord Ding's constitution will come out!"

The person who spoke was Hou Liang from Qianhu Station of Qishan. He looked like he had 200 kilograms. When he spoke, the flesh on his face was shaking. He didn't look like an officer leading the team, but more like a rich man.

In fact, this is a portrayal of many military officers in the military office. It is not a matter of one day or two. Hou Liang, as the hereditary Qishan Qianhushou, has long been the largest landlord of the Qishan generation. Military households have become his tenants.
