278, the iron-blooded curtain finally opened, and Liangshan blackmailed Zengtou City (4)
Sometimes things are like this, as the saying goes, no book is written without coincidence,
Zheng Fei also didn't expect that the strict military discipline of the Independent Company, the divine power of the Broken Soul, and the fact that he took away the arrows shot out of the consideration of "diligence and thrift", and let go of the more than 100 guards out of the consideration of not wanting to kill again, would make Zeng Rong, Shi Wengong and others make a wrong judgment.
Forbidden Army? They also looked down on the forbidden army too much, even the forbidden army could not have such equipment as the Soul Breaker, and it was impossible for them to dare to use only ninety people against four hundred Zengtou City guards, let alone have military discipline that was significantly higher than theirs!
In fact, I don't blame Zeng Rong and Shi Wengong for making mistakes, I can only blame Zheng Fei and others for showing that they are too much like a regular army!
The mistake made by Zeng Lang and Shi Wengong not only gave Zheng Fei more time to strengthen himself, but also caused them to make more mistakes in the way of "butterfly effect" on this wrong path!
Of course, Zheng Fei still doesn't know anything about all this.
When Zeng Tu saw Zeng Lane in the secret room, Zheng Fei had already led the independent company back to Liangshanbo smoothly and strictly controlled Zeng Mi.
It's a pity that the harvest this time is quite small, the grain and grass are burned, and the captives are also released.
In addition to the 10,000 unspent grain money found from Zeng Mi's body, and the more than 40 horses used by the grain team to transport grain,
It's a pity that these horses are all inferior horses, and the pulling goods are okay, but when the combat horses are completely unqualified!
However, when the people of Liangshan learned that the independent company defeated the guards of the Zengtou City Grain Brigade with its own strength, and only a few people on their own side were slightly injured, they killed more than 200 people on the other side and captured more than 100 people, they were still shocked!
The Independence Company has also instantly become the pride of the entire Yangsan! Since then, the independent company has officially become synonymous with the elite troops of Liangshanbo!
Since then, the independent company and the independent battalions, independent regiments, independent brigades, and independent armies developed by it in the future have made many miraculous achievements, and have completely become a trump card army in Zheng Fei's hands!
Zheng Fei was very happy that the independent company had won the first battle, and immediately took out 1,000 guan from the 10,000 guan money he had just captured and rewarded the soldiers of the independent company, and then threw all the remaining 9,000 guan into the armory.
This big victory has completely proved the correctness of Zheng Feiqiang's thinking of the army, and now the top priority is to seize the time to continue to make soul breakers, black lacquer bows and all kinds of weapons, and strive to be able to equip all the horses in Liangshanbo already!
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Fei convened a combat summary meeting, including all the leaders of Liangshan and the squad leader and above.
At the meeting, the people of the independent company first gave a detailed explanation of the operation to everyone, and then Zheng Fei led everyone to analyze the gains and losses of the operation step by step.
Through detailed narration and analysis, everyone outside the independent company benefited a lot as if they had personally experienced the battle of Banxianpo, and since then, it has become a tradition of the Liangshan Army to hold a battle summary meeting after each major battle, regardless of success or failure.
The meeting was not held in vain, and the summary was not made in vain, and several deficiencies shown in this operation were also shown in front of everyone!
The first is that there are too few horses.
The independent company has two people and one horse, the burden on the horse is too heavy, and the distance between the horse personnel is too close, which seriously affects the speed of marching and fighting and the combat space of the horse personnel.
Fortunately, there weren't many riders on the side of Zengtou City this time, and they were basically wiped out in the first salvo of the Broken Soul.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be who rushed to the place where Zheng Fei and Zeng Mi scuffled first!
In case the people of Zengtou City arrive first and restrain or even kill Zheng Fei, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe to welcome the independent company and even Liangshan!
The second is that the archery skills of the independent company using the black lacquer bow are really average, and it is still a fluke that there are no archers on the side of Zengtou City, so they suppressed the opponent with a salvo and defeated the opponent's psychological defense!
The third one was put forward by Pang Wanchun, he believes that Zheng Fei is already the commander-in-chief, and he must not risk his life again, and if he encounters something like trapping Zeng Mi in the future, Zheng Fei must not go out in person!
For the first shortcoming, in fact, Liang Shanbo is not the only one who has this helplessness, the entire Great Song Dynasty has been suffering from the lack of a large number of good horses to equip the army for more than 100 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China!
The reason is that there are few horses in the Middle Plains, since the decline of the Tang Dynasty and the loss of important horse-producing places such as the four towns of Anxi, the supply of horses in the Central Plains has been tight, and the dog thief Shi Jingjiao recognized the thief as his father and ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Liao State, which not only gave up the natural dangers of the Central Plains to resist the northern nomads, so that the northern nomads could drive straight into the hinterland of the vast plains of the Central Plains through the various natural danger checkpoints unscathed, but also fell into the hands of the last horse-producing land of the Central Plains Dynasty!
The founders of the Song Dynasty, Song Taizu and Song Taizong, the two Rongma Emperors, clearly understood this and always wanted to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun.
It's a pity that the successive Northern Expeditions ended in failure due to tactics and other reasons.
Since then, the entire Great Song Dynasty has been in the passive situation of few horses, unable to establish cavalry, and there is no danger to rely on the invasion of the northern nomads can only be tired of defense, otherwise, even if the Great Song Dynasty can not destroy Liaojin, relying on the defense of the natural danger checkpoint, it will not be driven straight into the capital by the Jin soldiers, and the two emperors will be abducted and the country will be destroyed.
Therefore, although the demise of the Great Song Dynasty has its own reasons, it also has an important relationship with Shi Jingjiao's sale of the horse-producing land of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures!
And the ideal army that Zheng Fei wants to build must have a pure and large number of cavalry troops!
Only by establishing this cavalry force, the Liangshan army can gallop on the land of the Great Song Dynasty after getting rid of the natural danger of Liangshanbo, and even in the future, it can compete head-on with the nomadic peoples such as Liao, Xia, and Jin!
Therefore, how to get more horses has become another problem in front of Zheng Fei that must be solved as soon as possible after the armory!
