In this battle, the Tubo army avoided the real and did not directly confront the elite of the Tang army, but after cutting off its grain and grass, it concentrated superior forces to win the victory;

The Tang army went from afar, and the troops were not enough, the supply was not smooth, especially the generals in the army were not in harmony, and the deputy general Guo Zhifeng violated the military order, insisted on going his own way, and finally fell into defeat. Vertex updates are the fastest

Of course, the Tang rulers also had problems with the use of troops in the Western Regions before. The provocation of Tibet has always been hesitant and indecisive, and the generals sent are also ineffective.

For truly talented generals, they are always suspicious and suppressed because of their high merits, and even use the method of being dispatched to the barren land on the border of the Western Regions as a way to squeeze out famous generals.

"Fuck! Isn't this a typical example of crossing the river and demolishing bridges, unloading mills and killing donkeys? People bothered to beat Baal down the country, and when the ass waited for the chair to sit firmly, he tried every means to belittle others!"

Comrade One Piece fought for those generals again.

"This is a common problem of the superiors, have you also heard the story of the yellow robe?

Chen Qiao mutinied, Zhao Kuangyin was supported as the emperor by his generals in the yellow robe, and he was always uneasy after becoming the emperor, because he was afraid that the generals would learn from him in the future!

Later, after Zhao Kuangyin retreated from the court, he specially left all the generals to drink together, and the next day those people took the initiative to hand over the military power after saying that they were sick, which is also the origin of the idiom "a cup of wine releases the military power". ”

After becoming famous, Zhu Yuanzhang wantonly slaughtered heroes.

To sum up, the success of a campaign depends not only on the leading generals making correct decisions, but also on the full understanding and trust of the incumbents above and the tacit cooperation of the unconditional obedience of the executors below.

Otherwise, the incumbents above do not trust, and then there are villains who slander them, and no matter how many soldiers below do not obey orders, obey commands and do their own thing, no matter how brave and invincible you are, you will suffer unimaginable fatal blows.

As mentioned above, Tubo invaded the Western Regions on a large scale, and the Tang court judged that Tubo must be empty.

As long as Xue Rengui takes Tuyuhun, he will cut off the connection between Tubo and the four towns in the Western Regions, and he can go straight to Luosuo, and retreat can join forces with Tang generals who are guarding Anxi to recapture Qiuzi, Shule, Khotan, and Yanqi.

The Tang Dynasty had previously sent the general Ashina Zhong to lead the Yuhe army in the Western Regions to rescue Khotan.

At the same time as Xue Rengui sent troops, the Tang Dynasty took the western Turkic leader Ashina Duzhi as the general of Zuo Xiaowei and the governor of Luyan to contain the forces of Tubo in the Western Regions, echoing Xue Rengui from afar.

It can be seen that the Tang Dynasty made a lot of efforts for this campaign, Xue Rengui made the method of "encircling Wei to save Zhao", and at the same time, the troops deployed in the Western Regions played a leading role, and the strategic deployment can also be described as clever.

It's a pity that the plan can't catch up with the changes, and the 100,000 elite division is tantamount to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger in the end.

"Big brother, look at it, in ancient times, this population felt that there were more than we do now!? As long as there was a war, there were hundreds of thousands or millions of heroes at every turn, why were there so many people?

There is no detailed record in this history book. However, the "Weigong Military Law" pointed out that for a force of 20,000 people, it is necessary to allocate 6,000 people to protect the baggage.

Escort is still second, the farther the distance, the greater the force required for transportation, Shen Kuo calculated this account in Mengxi Pen Talk, 100,000 soldiers, in addition to taking care of the baggage and other duties, there are only 70,000 troops left that can go to the battlefield, and maintaining this 100,000 army requires 300,000 people to go back and forth on the supply line!

At this point, you increase manpower and protect with troops, which has no practical effect, because people themselves have to eat, even if they use animal power, cattle and horses have to eat themselves, for example, in the Tang Dynasty, a horse needs to be rationed 3 liters of horse feed per day, which is difficult to improve the efficiency of supply. ”

The stars are changing, the years are long, although it is said that it spans thousands of years of time and space, it still can't take away the glorious past.

Listening to the eldest brother tell about the great victories that Xue Rengui has achieved in the past 40 years in the army, he has taken the lead all the way, he is unstoppable, and he has bravely crowned the three armies, which makes Comrade One Piece also listen to the blood boiling, his eyebrows flutter, and he can't suppress the excitement in his heart.

"Usually read more books and study and study, like the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties Li Gang gave pertinent evaluations in ("Preface to the Biography of the Virtuous Generals of the Tang Dynasty"): Li Daliang's loyalty to Su Wei, Pei Xingjian, Su Ding's strategy, Qin Shubao, Xue Rengui, Li Siye's courage to fight, Gao Chongwen's strict discipline, Wang Zhonghe's solidity, Li Baozhen's training, Zhang Wanfu's benevolence, Li Guangyan's decision, all have the style of a virtuous general. ”

"Big brother, it's not like you don't know, I'm the laziest to read those books in Chinese!

Comrade One Piece smiled innocently.

To be honest, when he used to read, he didn't like classical Chinese, and even when he translated it, he couldn't always remember the meaning.

In this regard, he admires his eldest brother very much, those literary and poetry are endowed with poetry, and the eldest brother understands it as soon as he gets it in his hands and looks at it, and he understands the meaning without the teacher's translation.

"We have a lot to learn in this area. For example, the military theoretical knowledge of the West is relatively detailed, and we should learn from each other's strong points and make up for our weaknesses and apply what we have learned. ”

After combining the development of military mobilization with the history of war, the West has found that with the development of technology from ancient times to the present, the ability of countries to participate in war has become stronger and stronger.

In particular, the implementation of technologies and measures such as social management, railway transportation, military stations, professionalization of non-commissioned officers, and reserve forces has led to an increasing proportion of troops/civilians that can be used in all-out warfare in modern times.

In ancient warfare, there was no widespread mobilization of civilians into the army and rapid training to go to war, as in World War II, and all relied on standing armies.

At the same time, railways and roads provided a channel for the efficient accumulation of troops and materials, which made it possible to solve the logistical problems that used to hold the throat of ancient armies.

Under the limitations of ancient communication technology and military training and command technology, not to mention hundreds of thousands of troops, an army of only 100,000 people can approach command paralysis, and the distance is too far and tactics are difficult to match, so that so many people cannot exert their combat effectiveness at all, but on the contrary, it increases the logistical pressure and morale risk.

Professionalized non-commissioned officers offer the possibility of large force coordination. In ancient times, military training often relied on individual generals, and the formation orders were different, such as Qi Jiguang's training of the Qi family's army, and its use of formations was not understood by other Ming troops.

In this way, when the armies of the whole world and the north of the world are gathered together, it will be difficult to effectively coordinate operations, and you can only scatter the sand, and you will not be able to make up effective combat effectiveness.

It is that excellent ancient generals would never do such a thing, and in decisive ancient battles, many excellent ancient generals would not use a large number of troops, and often only brought tens of thousands of troops at most.

In modern times, all countries have established their own unified standardized military training codes, and use these codes to train non-commissioned officers in the army and military academies, and the non-commissioned officers are responsible for training recruits, so that soldiers everywhere can receive exactly the same training, so that when they are assembled, they can also cooperate with each other in combat.

This is also the positive meaning of pulling training. We all know that understanding and trust between people is important. It takes a long time to achieve tacit understanding.
