Chapter 126: A Line of Defense That Must Be Established

Zhang was not happy about the situation of the military exercise.

This is Tong Yuan and Dong Bai providing generous food, if it is an ordinary county, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Tong Yuan asked the military officials who participated in this uprising to speak as much as possible, and also asked the soldiers who participated in the winter defense to share some experience.

In the winter, when the Yufula Department was able to be pressed to the death in one area, in addition to the Dreadnought Army, there were also many results of the new army of the state to defend each tun.

Finally, after the active participation of all levels in the discussion, Zhang summed up some conclusions.

First, even if the battle was won in our villages, even if the battle was won, it was based on the loss of more people's property. It is best to control the enemy in the preset battlefield of our future.

Second, it is necessary to form a superior force force as much as possible in the local area. In each battle, we should concentrate absolutely superior forces as much as possible, and strive to achieve absolute superiority in local directions, local spaces, and local physical contacts.

That is, to concentrate all efforts to strike at a certain part of the enemy, a certain direction, and some specific personnel, in order to achieve the effect of annihilating one part of the enemy and defeating the other part.

Third, it is necessary to strengthen the leadership of mobilization work and mobilize reliable households. In this exercise, Zhang Jiji's task for Mintun was to stop blindly going into battle without adequate preparation as much as possible.

Instead, after arming and mobilizing, they were able to build a second line of defense, which played a very good role in supporting the front and rear. As for mobilizing the cantonments, because the people of the cantonments firmly supported our side, we were able to mobilize the cantonments and collect information even though things were chaotic, and we achieved very good results.

However, there are also problems. "That is, the judgment of the direction of the enemy's attack and harassment completely relies on wartime reconnaissance, which is very passive."

When Zhang Ji finished saying this, everyone didn't understand it too much. Tong Yuan smiled, Zhang Ji was really strict with himself.

He interjected: "What De Jong means is that we should have a certain amount of research on the nomadic tribes and understand their habits of aggression and harassment. The commander of the dreadnought army and above, and the commander and above of the new army of the state, need to have a clear mind on this issue and estimate how the other side may attack. So that you won't have to rely entirely on the orders from above and the scouts' scouting? ”

Zhang Ji's body trembled slightly, and he said happily: "The general is too powerful, I just thought that the scouts might be blocked, so all levels should formulate a plan in advance for this level." Studying and analyzing the enemy in advance is the real way to anticipate the enemy's victory, and I have written it down. ”

Zhang Ji and the summary of the crowd ended here, he arranged for the county lieutenants of the three counties and the counterparts of Juntun and Mintun to write down these points, let them convey them orally, and impressed everyone through daily communication.

Tong Yuan added: "I will try to carry out this kind of small-scale exercise every six months, so that people who are not involved can also actually operate, so that the effect will be better." ”

After the meeting, Tong Yuan and Zhang had a special exchange. During the exercise, Zhang Ji personally led his men to pounce on the enemy troops, and this was certainly correct. But what if the enemy is not five hundred, but five hundred forwards, and there are three thousand main forces behind?

Of course, Zhang Ji has a lot of strategy and planning, but if the enemy is too strong, then the situation is probably sacrificed for the people.

"I think some adjustments can be made in terms of the strength and position of our army."

Zhang also thought about this, "Does the general mean to follow the method of the Great Wall hundreds of years ago to defend against the enemy?" ”

Tong Yuan's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, but it's not." My idea is to strengthen the construction of outposts and fortresses in the mountains in the north, and renovate part of the Great Wall of Wei during the Warring States period. Strive to delay the enemy in the mountains. ”

Zhang Ji answered: "If the enemy breaks through the defense, our army can also get information about where the enemy broke through." In this way, on the one hand, as in this case, the enemy army will be contained, expelled and annihilated. On the other hand, plug the gaps, close the door and beat the dog. If the enemy is few, strive to encircle and annihilate it; If there are many enemies......"

"Then the enemy will not be able to take away the population and materials, and a gap must be made again." The two of them completely thought of being together, and the answers were seamless without distinction between you and me.

"Hahaha!" The two laughed heartily, which is called coincidence, and the tacit understanding between the two has become deeper and deeper.

After discussion, Zhang Ji will try to build several dock forts on the basis of the original outposts, and go more than ten miles north to repair the Great Wall of Wei and place outposts.

On this basis, the Haoqiang Wubao in the mountains and wilderness was also incorporated into the defense system, and a closer relationship was established than before.

Zhang Ji planned to transfer dozens of tuns in the north of the two counties, and each county military tun out of five tuns per month, and take turns to enter the outpost fortress in the mountains. This is not much pressure on the soldiers who have less war and less heavy production tasks.

Soon after, the Hanhu merchants who came and went saw that Tong Yuan's soldiers and horses with good arms, strong bodies and full of spirit appeared at important passes and roads in the mountains. It soon became a hot topic in the north.

"Ahh Do the Han people want to block the road and rob, or do they want to attack us? Some Hu people still felt intimidated, but seeing that the number of people was small and their attitude was friendly, they gradually changed from fear to security.

"How can there be people at the Great Wall? The place was desolate. ”

"Don't believe it, now Weiyang Jun and General Pingbei's people are stationed there."

"Let me tell you, a long, long time ago, the imperial court sent people to the Great Wall, but it was a large group of 'called Huazi', very poor. It's a joke to call them the army. ”

"Look! Look! ”

These big businessmen saw with their own eyes that the dilapidated Great Wall pass had a new look, and the banners of the Xiliang Army and Tong Yuan were still fluttering. Although there are only a few elite garrisons here, they control the situation for dozens of miles around, and believe that once there is a change, they can react quickly.

The businessman who was chatting just now felt a burst of seriousness and righteousness, and a shock and respect spontaneously arose in his heart.

"This is my big man, tall and strong, worthy of being 'a man and a five-hu'."

The majesty of the Tong Yuan Army has penetrated deeper into the hearts of all ethnic groups and pedestrians in the vicinity. In the future, many tribes and populations will be able to take the initiative to join them, and they will not be able to do without these little efforts.

……

Tong Yuan came to Dong Bai's mansion again, this time to say a short goodbye, and then he was about to cross the Yellow River and return to Hedong to continue to stabilize the development there.

It is estimated that in less than two months, the planted wheat will be ripe. After the harvest in early summer, millet should be planted as soon as possible, harvested in late autumn, and then planted with wheat.

Due to the late season of this round, it may not be possible to plant another round of wheat stalks. Therefore, wait until early spring next year to plant millet normally, and then plant wheat in early autumn.

In this way, this land can maintain the rotation of wheat and millet cropping, and it will be harvested three times in two years.
