Li Xuan pondered for a long time, and when the others saw Li Xuan's appearance, they didn't dare to disturb for a while, as for letting them come up with any good plans, to be honest, they couldn't come up with any good plans.

Usually, when they were fighting some small battles, Fang Dongquan and Butcher Chen could still say a few words, but in such an important strategic direction choice today, they all obediently kept their mouths shut.

Even if they have led their troops to win many battles before, they are also self-aware, they can't even know how to type, and as for military theories and tactics, they don't know anything, and they have fought more according to instinct before.

However, the development of the new army of the Tang Dynasty is today, and after having thousands of troops, it also puts forward great requirements for the command ability of the generals, and Fang Dongquan and Chen Butcher, to be honest, cannot meet this requirement.

Even Zeng Ziwen, a general who has been influenced by various military theories since he was a child, actually knows nothing about how to command the Tang New Army, a semi-modern army with hot weapons as the core and cold weapons as the supplement.

Compared with them, Hao Bonian and a group of young officers from the Guards are young and not very experienced, and they don't even seem to have any hair, but from the first day of their army, they played with muskets, and later read and write, and entered the Imperial Academy to receive Li Xuan's personal teaching.

Although the things that Li Xuan taught them were also messy, most of them were things they had seen from various film and television dramas or so on, but no matter how messy they were, Li Xuan instilled in them only one conceptual core, that is, the war in the new era, that is, the war of the line.

The musketeers will completely eliminate the other infantry classes, whether they are archers, spearmen, sword and shield men, or any other mess of infantry, they will be swept into the dustbin of history by the musketeers.

Hao Bonian and others, who listened to Li Xuan's words in three days and two ends, naturally also established the concept that line combat is the foundation of all tactics, and musketeers are the only infantry.

Because these people took the position of battalion officers, they were naturally more comfortable in commanding troops that were already more than half of the main force equipped with arquebuses.

However, this is limited to tactical capabilities, and strategic capabilities are slightly lacking.

Li Xuan pondered for a long time, and finally looked around at everyone present, but he couldn't find any generals who could help him share the strategic pressure.

In the end, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: A thousand troops are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general!

After sighing secretly, Li Xuan spoke: "Immediately inform Fang Xitong and let the first mixed battalion return to the No. 2 ferry and choose the opportunity to snipe the enemy troops crossing the river."

In addition, the 4th Infantry Battalion was transferred to reinforce the No. 2 and No. 3 ferries! ”

At this time, he glanced at Hao Bonian again, and then continued: "Hao Bonian, you lead a team of musketeers and a long spearmen from your headquarters to reinforce the No. 2 ferry, and the first mixed battalion will also be under your command after arrival, so be sure to stop the Ming army at the No. 2 ferry!" ”

Then he turned his attention to Zhao Jingyun, the deputy commander of the Fourth Infantry Battalion: "Zhao Jingyun led another team of musketeers and spearmen of the Fourth Battalion to reinforce the No. 3 ferry, and after arriving, he obeyed the command of Li Chunjing of the Second Mixed Battalion!" ”

As soon as everyone heard Li Xuan's arrangement, they all knew that Li Xuan was dissatisfied with Fang Xitong's conservatism and hesitation.

Fang Xitong and Li Chunjing are both major officers who have only recently been promoted, and the status of these two of them is equal, but now Li Xuan has sent Hao Bonian to the No. 2 ferry, obviously because the other party Xitong's command ability does not agree.

And Li Chunjing's decisiveness and resoluteness made Li Xuan choose to continue to reuse him.

Otherwise, Hao Bonian would have gone to Li Chunjing, who disobeyed orders, instead of going to Fang Xitong's side.

Hao Bonian and many other generals were not stupid people, so they naturally understood the reason for Li Xuan's arrangement for the first time.

However, at this time, many people also asked themselves, if they encountered the same choice as Fang Xitong, I am afraid that they would choose to be conservative like Fang Xitong, please decide!

After all, conservatism can only be said to be a matter of character and ability, but like Li Chunjing, it is a matter of loyalty or not.

After this battle, whether His Majesty will continue to be important Li Chunjing is a question.

After making arrangements to reinforce the No. 2 and No. 3 ferries, Li Xuan did not stop the meeting, but continued: "Immediately send people back to Zhengtai County, let the troops remaining outside Zhengtai County strictly defend to the death, and must not let the enemy of Zhengtai County out of the city!" ”

Earlier, the second mixed battalion was stationed in Zhengtai County and Longhua Town, and later the troops of the third and fourth infantry battalions were rotated and stationed, but since the Ming army arrived at the Lanjiang ferry a few days ago, it was still tens of thousands of people.

Li Xuan transferred all the main forces in the rear to the front line, and the task of monitoring and guarding against the enemy in Zhengtai County was handed over to the thief hunting camp.

Although the robbery battalion is not the main force, and there is not even a regular army, they are also equipped with a full range of cold weapons, so it may be a little difficult for them to attack Zhengtai County, but it is still possible to prevent the Ming army in Zhengtai County from rushing out.

At this time, Li Xuan continued: "Send someone back to Xikou Village immediately, and let the military department increase the recruitment of new soldiers, the more the better!" ”

After that, he looked at Zeng Ziwen again, and then said: "The combat division here should speed up the training of new recruits, and we can use appropriate reinforcement of training intensity to shorten the training time, and the soldiers who have already been trained will be replenished to each unit as soon as possible!" ”

It is foreseeable that a major war is about to break out, and whether it is victory or defeat, the new army of the Tang Dynasty will inevitably suffer a large number of casualties.

In a war, it is always inevitable to be killed and injured, and this time, Li Xuan is afraid that there will be many casualties!

Therefore, he needs to prepare in advance, so that after the casualties of the troops, there are enough recruits in the rear, and the recruits who have completed a month of basic training to replenish the damaged troops, so as to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the troops can be maintained.

When Li Xuan made many arrangements, many generals also retreated one after another, Li Xuan did not have the idea of sleeping at this time, it is now more than four o'clock in the morning, after an hour, the sky will be bright, and he can't sleep for long, not to mention, Li Xuan can't sleep now!

Tonight, the ship of the Tang Dynasty has begun to leak, and as for whether it will sink, he doesn't know!

If the ship of the Tang Dynasty is really going to sink, what should he do?

Faced with a shipwreck crisis, he couldn't sleep at all!

It was not only him and the generals of the New Army of the Tang Dynasty who couldn't sleep, but also a group of Ming military officials on the east bank of the Lanjiang River.

However, unlike the worried Li Xuan and other civil and military officials of the Tang New Army, the civil and military officials of the Ming Army seemed very excited.
