920. Chapter 920: The War Officially Begins
It is ironic that the 46th Brigade was ambushed by 70,000 or 80,000 Xia troops, and it was ironic that the whole army collapsed after only one day of fighting. "Words * love * first * hair [big/book/bag/small/say/net.dashubao.cc]
Nearly 10,000 horses and horses only held out for one day, and it was still an elite brigade town directly under the capital division, which was a two-horse military camp system, a chariot battalion, a five-infantry battalion as the core of the combat team, and the arrows carried by the baggage troops could support ten days of high-intensity operations, even in the face of tens of thousands of Xia troops, at least they could insist on waiting for help.
Fortunately, the 52nd Brigade arrived in the evening of the same day, directly repelled the interception of tens of thousands of Xia troops, rescued nearly 2,000 defeated soldiers, and even stationed on the spot with less than 300 chariots and thousands of soldiers to fight against the enemy more than ten times larger, so that the Xia army could not be stopped, and arrived safely in Pingqiang City, which can be regarded as saving some face.
The most important thing is that this battle highlights the combat effectiveness of the chariot soldiers, as a variant of the ancient army, the chariot soldiers are enough to rank among the main forces of the forbidden army with this battle.
"Even if the chariot soldiers regain their glory, it does not mean that Mr. sacrifices others." Feng Yuan rolled his eyes, he was quite happy in his heart, he could make the chariot soldiers glorious again, the sacrifice of the forty-sixth brigade town was definitely worth it, it was just painful.
It cannot but be said that the soldiers are sad, whether it is a soldier who worries about the world first, or a good general who loves soldiers like a son, under the premise of thinking that it is necessary to sacrifice, he will never spare the lives of soldiers, there is no sadness and lamentation, only enough value.
Zhong Lirui shook his head and smiled, and said knowingly: "Understand, how can an adult fill his life with a soldier, after this battle, the chariot soldiers are booming, and many of your lord's ideas can also be implemented, your burden is really not light."
Feng Yuan solemnly bowed his head, he knew that the chariot soldiers proposed by Wang Xiu to reorganize were by no means antique chariots in history, but a new type of troops, a brand new chariot, given a new tactics and establishment, completely a technical army, with higher requirements for logistics.
If Li Shifu does not have a strong baggage guarantee, I am afraid that he will not be able to calmly station, let alone break through at will.
"Alright, we just have to wait, maybe you will be entrusted with a heavy responsibility." Zhong Lirui took back the copy of Guantang, put it in his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Even Li Xianggong and Lu Xianggong have no bottom in their hearts, only the army can calm down the discussion, and only adults can calm down." ”
"Calm down to see if Mr. can withstand it, some people are lucky." Feng Yuanyin pointed out that he really wanted to re-lead the troops to fight and regain the pleasure of galloping on the field.
"Maybe I guessed wrong, hehe." Zhong Lirui laughed self-deprecatingly, who Feng Yuan was referring to, he naturally knew clearly, and the decision was just needed.
Although the government and the opposition are boiling up and down, and the 46th Brigade Town, which is fueled by various newspapers and tries its best to exaggerate the sadness, they do not see the glory of the 52nd Brigade Town, and it seems that there are still smart people who accuse Wang Xiu and the Western Servants of the wave.
However, the top level of the forbidden army had a different view of the war, and many people of insight did not care about the defeat of the 46th Brigade Town, but were quite interested in the victory of the 52nd Brigade Town.
The marching soldiers of the Privy Council Military Department began to discuss eagerly that a mere chariot brigade could fight against tens of thousands of Xia troops, which reminded people of Li Ling in the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu in the Southern Dynasty, and even some people commented on the achievements of the 52nd Brigade Town, which was by no means something that the chariot soldiers of the previous dynasty could achieve, and definitely surpassed the previous dynasty.
Among them, the equipment of the combat vehicles, the combination of the establishment and the use of tactics are all refreshing, unheard of in the armament, and lead people to reverie.
Especially in the Western Army, the town of the 52nd Brigade attracted attention, when the generals received the report, they were very surprised by the combat effectiveness of the car brigade, some people did not see the true essence, but it did not prevent them from using experience to see, it is a miracle in itself to be able to rely on the chariot against tens of thousands of people, and they cannot but pay attention to it.
Even before the start of the war, the commanders of the various armies watched the drills of the cavalry and met with the battalion commanders, hoping to find a good way to defeat the enemy.
Of course, it is impossible to do without punishment, after all, it is a great defeat of 10,000 people, if there is no 52nd Brigade Town to turn the tide, I am afraid that this war is really off to a bad start, and it will end hastily before it is fought.
Qu Duan, as the commander of the Western Army, naturally blamed himself, and the decision of the two governments was to reduce the degree of the festival to the observation of the festival, that is, he suffered a little loss, and the right was not weakened at all, and it was not trivial at all.
Xie Qian was the most wronged, he was responsible for commanding the support of Pingqiang City, but he didn't expect the destruction of the 46th Brigade Town, and he directly became a regimental training envoy, and some armies commanded and sent battalion commanders, and their official rank was one level higher than him.
The generals who are in charge of the military capital, at the very least, are actually teaching the history of assassination, and the military commanders who are also in the battalion are all in the regimental training, and some people even reach the festival to observe and stay behind.
There must be a reward, the 52nd Brigade Town all made meritorious contributions, according to the rules of reward, Li Shifu made outstanding achievements, became famous in the first war, was awarded the history of the Yao County Thorn, has the qualifications to serve as the commander of the military capital, the remnants of the 46th Brigade Town were merged into the 52nd Brigade Town, so that the car brigade reached the scale of the upper brigade, the platform was set up, and only the imperial court was appointed.
Qu Duan didn't care about the official position, he just felt ashamed, he never expected that the car brigade that he didn't like would become famous in one battle, and from a tactical point of view, it was completely Wang Xiu's set.
However, the 46th Brigade Town was abolished, and the remnants were merged into the 52nd Brigade Town, and there will never be any more powerful brigades. Shame, is simply his biggest shame, since the establishment of the new military system, the North Servant Army has gone through bloody battles, and there is really no brigade, the army was revoked the military number, even if the Xuanwu Army 16th Brigade Town was defeated, there are still nearly 1,000 people fleeing with the military flag, and the people who survive are not as good as the 46th Brigade Town, but they just got off the brigade and kept the military flag, which did not meet the bar bar of the main general and the military flag at the same time.
On the fifth day of the line in the learning, the two governments rewarded and punished with amazing efficiency, and appointed the deputy capital of the palace to join the army Gao Ping to the north, this guy was appointed as the commander of the northwest camp of the palace front division, responsible for the operation of Tianwu and Shenwei army, and Feng Yuan was the deputy capital of the camp to join the army.
The imperial court didn't seem to trust Qu Duan very much, so it was very strange for Wang Xiu to see Guantang, but he didn't stop it.
No matter what the wind and rain, war is inevitable.
With a strong sense of shame, Qu Duan commanded the Western Servant Army to launch an attack, and the same humiliating Xie Qian, who no longer cared about the gains and losses, went to the border army in person.
He controlled Li Yanxian's fifth battalion on Yanjun Road and Xu Huiyan's sixth battalion on Huanqing Road, and formed the East Road Army to take the lead in attacking Xia Jianing and Xiangyou Military Division.
