Chapter 209
"Han Shizhong, lead the team forward!"
"Yes, Command!"
Not far away, a military attache of the Western Army shouted, and the small red flag in his hand also waved forward.
More than 1,000 cavalrymen, including Han Shizhong, began to ride forward.
Behind them, a large number of infantry officers had stopped moving forward, and the open area along the river, which was nearly ten miles away from the enemy, was quite suitable for setting up a large camp.
The camp must be near the water, and if there is a mountain, it will lean on the mountain.
Dig ditches, set up horses, put antlers, erect fences, and build arrow towers.
Without a large number of siege equipment, it is simply impossible to capture a large battalion.
In fact, the barracks are even more difficult to fight than the cities.
Unless one side is defeated.
But if one side is defeated, there is no need to fight the barracks, and most of the people in the camp will run out directly.
If it is in the stalemate stage, there is really no record of directly conquering the enemy camp.
It is also necessary to choose a high place in the barracks and build a watchtower.
At least three zhang or more high, ten or twenty meters high.
On the premise that there were no large number of tall buildings in ancient times, it was enough to find a soil slope tens of meters high, or build a watchtower on flat ground to overlook the battlefield.
The strikers led the cavalry charged.
The deployment of the array is based on the distance and the scope of the battlefield, laying out an array one by one.
You 403 Yi reconnoiters the enemy's flanks and restricts the enemy's cavalry movements.
The pre-Qin, the two Han dynasties, the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, and the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were also the peak in the history of Chinese wars.
After playing five generations, it began to go downhill.
Looking at the various records of the generals of the Ming Dynasty, it is miserable.
During the Battle of Sahu, Yang Hao, a civil servant, was a master and made a lot of jokes.
The Fourth Route Army could not cooperate at all, the main force was dispatched, and the rest of the roads were still on the way.
No reconnaissance.
There is no counter-espionage, and the plan to send troops, including the day to go, and the road map of the march, have all been clearly investigated.
The soldiers led by Liu Ling walked for more than half a year, and then entered the dense forest of Kuandian, and when he arrived, the other three roads were wiped out.
Then he was wiped out again.
There were no military stations, no reconnaissance, and no villages along the way.
Just walked from Sichuan to Liaodong in such a daze.
Someone cut off his head in a daze.
This is still a long-standing general of the Ming Dynasty.
Logistics and military support are all in shambles.
When he went out to sacrifice to the sky, the big sword was made of spur, and he could not cut off the head of the ox.
Everyone said that the Song Dynasty was weak, and there was still the Western Army in the forbidden army of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the performance of the Southern Song Army was 10,000 streets away from the Southern Ming Army, and the Southern Ming Army could not see the tail lights of the Southern Song Army at all.
Even at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, he was born and carried Mongolia for nearly 50 years, and Meng Heng was even on a par with Mongolia!
The Diaoyutai guards were so heroic that even Möngke Khan died in Sichuan.
Xiangyang is even more defended to the point that it can no longer be defended, the elite soldiers and strong generals are all killed, the city has been attacked many times, damaged and repaired, repaired and then disabled, and then repaired.
The front could not be defeated, Meng Yuan beat Sichuan into white ground, and Xiangyang could not be attacked, so he detoured from Yungui, but he still couldn't pull out the nail of Xiangyang.
If Xiangyang can't be taken, there is no way to go south according to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and it is too difficult for the northern army to cross the river from the south of the Yangtze River to attack Jiankang and go down to Hangzhou.
If it weren't for the financial collapse of the Southern Song Dynasty, there would be no way to raise soldiers.
Sichuan was crippled, the south was pierced several times, Mongolia also destroyed the heavens, and foreign trade stagnated.
The Southern Song Dynasty really ran out of money.
Otherwise...... Maybe it can withstand the same as Annan and the Wa Kingdom.
Civilization is immortal and endless.
The two Song Dynasty are ashamed of Jingkang, but the overall performance, the tail lights of the Great Song Dynasty are still not visible in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.
Whether it is the establishment, finance, people's livelihood, or army, the Southern Song Dynasty is crushing the Southern Ming Dynasty. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Even the end of the Ming Dynasty at the time of the great unification could not be compared with the Southern Song Dynasty.
At the level of the Battle of Salhu, not to mention the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, even the Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty could not fight such a bad battle.
After that, Ningjin won a great victory, but it was just a turtle to defend the city.
Then in the Songjin War, there were more than 100,000 Ming troops, and they were already almost all the elites of the Ming army at that time.
As a result, it was still unwinnable.
No matter what, the Song army has always done an excellent job in logistics, ordnance, and military support.
Because finances are always tilted towards the army.
Even if the burden of the three redundant is extremely heavy (CBDA) the Renzong period, or the wasteful and squandered Huizong period.
The army's salaries and military supplies are always guaranteed.
The Northern Song Dynasty is good at controlling martial arts with literature, but it is impossible to be as brain-dead as the Ming Dynasty to cripple his army and make it cross.
In the second year of Chongzhen, King Qin, the Shanxi Army, and the Shaanxi Border Army went to the city of Beijing, and the imperial court did not mention the military salary, nor even food, and the officials of the military department transferred these border troops around like monkeys.
The Ming army also had a rule that no food would be given on the day of the camp, and as long as it was constantly transferred, it could be kept without food.
That's smart.
It's a pity that the big head soldiers don't cooperate.
The Shanxi Border Army and the Shaanxi Border Army directly mutinied and left, and later many people fell into the grass, and more became the backbone of the anti-thieves.
The Qinwang soldiers in many provinces were the same, with no food or pay, no landing, and finally mutiny and scattered.
Chongzhen, the emperor, is the same, even if the most basic guarantee is not done well, even if he summons the generals at the head of the city and parades the soldiers and horses, he will not do this kind of façade work.
What is pitiful about him hanging himself.
I do everything by myself.
In the end, he also passed the buck to the ministers.
You are the emperor, not the puppet emperor who has been set aside.
In the seventeen years of Chongzhen, the number of ministers killed was only inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di's subordinates who killed Jianwen were a continuation of the war, not the norm, and Zhu Di was not as ruthless as Chongzhen.
Wanton and indiscriminate killing, Chongzhen killed dozens of ministers including the military department's Shangshu, Jingluo, governor, and general soldier once in two years.
is in power, reckless, and in the end, the subordinates do not blame themselves for not managing well, and blame the ministers.
It can only be said that the dead nature has not changed.
The main force of the Song army in front of him has accumulated many problems of the Northern Song army.
In terms of strength, it is far from being comparable with the era of the four generals of ZTE.
But after all, they are the elite who have fought with the Tangut people for a hundred years, and they have been fighting for many years over the years, with rich battlefield experience, and their military literacy is the peak of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms.
All the way over, the place that can be guarded will be set up in the village, and the direction along the waterway is to be guarded by the dry village.
There are bays, shallow streams, and forked places on the water, and there will also be water villages. []
The army of hundreds of thousands of people, plus hundreds of thousands of people, the density is extremely high, and there is no problem with the speed of the dispatched army, everything is in order, although it is not as high as the Han and Tang Dynasty armies, and it is not as fierce and daring as the later Southern Song Dynasty army, but at least the Northern Song Dynasty army, especially the Western Army, it is a mature and qualified army, especially led by qualified generals such as Shidao, even if it is Tong Guan, although his reputation was later discredited and was recognized as a traitor by later generations, but at least before the Baigou fiasco and Taiyuan were defeated again, Tong Guan was also a qualified commander。
The army, which was above the passing line, suffered a disadvantage, but continued to put pressure on the enemy.
That's how the battlefield works.
A small disadvantage is ignored, and it slowly accumulates into a big disadvantage, once it is suppressed by the enemy before the battle, it is like playing chess by others who are constantly approaching the fall, and finally losing the whole game.
