Chapter 90: The Old and the Young on Western Xia (2)

Although Chong Yanfeng had his own opinion in his heart, he did not interrupt with words, and on the outside, he still nodded in agreement, and Lao Zhou said more energetically when he saw this, "Second, over the past hundred years, Western Xia has been able to repeatedly thwart our army's westward expeditions, and a tactic of the party has to be mentioned, they often use the strategy of robbing the army's grain and grass and cutting off the water source, which often makes our army collapse without a fight, and they can be described as tried and tested again and again when they use this trick!" ”

Chong Yanfeng continued to nodded, but this time he really agreed, Lao Zhou is worthy of being an experienced old Western Army soldier, to sum it up, everything is the way, every sentence can be to the point, the geographical environment of Western Xia is relatively harsh, it is easy for soldiers and horses to ambush, our army comes from afar and the domestic grain and grass are too far away from the battlefield, and the deeper it goes, the easier it is to give the other party a chance, which is also a helpless thing, so Fan Zhongyan, Chong E and other wise people suggested that the steady tactics of building barracks and advancing layer by layer were adopted.

"Third, the party is as cunning as a fox, and is very good at camouflage, creating illusions on the battlefield, or ambushing or feigning defeat and fleeing, although the soldiers are not tired of cheating, but the Xixia people are very keen on this, which makes people unable to guard against it, except for the family army, other generals have suffered too much in this regard!" Lao Zhou sighed again, several of his comrades-in-arms he was familiar with back then were killed in the middle of the plan!

Lao Zhou's point is exactly what Yan Feng thought about before, the tactics of the Western Xia people are completely determined by their character as a thief, even in the period when the Western Xia won more victories and defeated less Li Yuanhao against the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Xia people did not have the slightest advantage in fighting on the battlefield, this is a group of goods that can only fight with the wind.

The words of wit can be said, but the two sides of Song and Xia seem to be reversed, my great Song generals have repeatedly attacked the enemy, and the losses are not miserable, until the two generals who are more witty than the party members appear in Shiheng and the two generals who are thousands of times more witty than the party members, and the cunning party members who are as cunning as foxes are simply childish like children in front of the father and son, and they have been repeatedly played like three grandsons, and later they have reached the level of smelling the color change!

Regardless of whether what Lao Zhou summarized can play a role in himself, but the other party's persistence is worthy of Yanfeng's admiration, and what Lao Zhou said is indeed the key, no matter what the level of this old man's command of the battle is, just for the understanding of the Western Xia army, I am afraid that few people in the world can compare with him, of course, it means that few can compare when it comes to theory......

"Furthermore, at the beginning of the war, the Tangut people basically did not care about the gains and losses of land and cities, and these things were lost when they were lost, and the party members were not distressed!" Lao Zhou continued: "The strong wall is the consistent tactic of the Western Xia people, they are very patient, and constantly send cavalry to reconnoiter around, swim but not attack, until they capture the right fighter in the movement will shoot, the result is of course always un......expected, it is really impossible to prevent it!" ”

"That's right, my Great Song Dynasty soldiers pay attention to people in the city, they will never be able to abandon the people and escape from the city, but the Xixia people are not, for these cunning as foxes and cruel as wolves, the people in the city are not worth mentioning, for the final victory, they can give up everything except their own lives!" Chong Yanfeng couldn't help but interject, even if the Great Song soldiers knew that they were dead, they would not abandon the city and flee, otherwise what was waiting for him would be worse than death, and the tactics of the Western Xia people were more flexible, which the Great Song Dynasty couldn't learn and couldn't learn!

"One more thing is the most painful thing for me!" Lao Zhou gritted his teeth, "Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that the spy methods of the Tangut people are very clever, and a lot of important information about our military is often obtained by them at the first time, which allows them to anticipate the enemy, so we still have a fart ......"

Chong Yanfeng exhaled and didn't answer, he was a little powerless to even complain about this issue, what Lao Zhou said was by no means alarmist, the Han people have never lacked traitors and traitors, and even some information and instructions were obtained by other spies as soon as they left the palace, what kind of concept is this? The Tangut people mastered the movements of our army before our front army was instructed, as Lao Zhou said, this battle is still a fart! Moreover, since Taizong, the autonomy of the front-line soldiers is extremely low, if you dare to come outside, I will let you hehe the next day, knowing that you have to jump even if it is a pit, this feels more aggrieved and aggrieved!

"Sixth ......" Lao Zhou didn't know where to take out a small notebook, and the old man who looked like a master outside the world grinned at Chong Yanfeng, and the momentum of the master immediately disappeared, "Hey, I'm older, and my memory can't compare to you young people, well, the sixth is ......"

Lao Zhou quickly flipped through his small notebook and said: "Sixth, most of the Western Xia generals are extremely shameless, often using the paralyzing psychology of some of our generals. ”

Some people may say that the generals of the Great Song Dynasty are stupid? Can you always make a mistake in a pit? The answer is: yes, it is. First of all, we mentioned before that the party people almost never fight tough battles, and it is their consistent style to surrender if they can't escape, and the reason for the escalation of friction between the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty this year is because of a rebel general.

As a result, although it was in vain, it made Li Qianshun, the lord of the Western Xia, see the hope of attacking, so he built a city in the Zangdi River Pan Fortress Mountain of the Security Army, which led to the continuous war in the next few years of the Song and Xia, until the master of the Dao horse stepped on the mountain to make the Xixia people frightened and begged for mercy, the long-term expedition between the two countries came to an end. In addition, the long-term domestic turmoil of the Tangut people in recent years is also a reason why they have defected more, who has let the Xixia relatives dictate for so many years, it is strange not to be chaotic!

It is precisely because there are too many people who have really surrendered, so some fake surrenders are mixed in it so that it is not easy to be discovered, and we have to mention that it is the pride in the bones of our Heavenly Empire, pride is not fake, but it is also easy to cause great joy and underestimation of the enemy, so it is inevitable to be deceived.

"Seventh, the party has a strong sense of the overall situation, and they don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, as I said before, they don't feel sorry for the lost city, and the same is true for the city they captured, if they can defend it, they can't hold it and retreat immediately after grabbing all the things!" Lao Zhou opened the book and spoke more neatly, he said this point is the Great Song Dynasty and the Tangut people can not compare, the Song army took the city as the most important feat, and will never give up until the end, compared with the Tangut people, our soldiers are indeed too rigid and rigid.

National strength, military strength, economy, politics, celebrities, generals, territory, and obviously which one has an absolute advantage, and as a result, it has been impossible to fight with a small Western Xia for more than 100 years, and the reasons are difficult to explain in a word, but the military reasons Lao Zhou has almost summed it up, and he believes that no one in the world can say that it is better than Lao Zhou, and even he can't do it.

Chong Yanfeng got up and bowed deeply to Lao Zhou, not for anything else, just because of Lao Zhou's enthusiasm for the military, just because the other party left the Western Army for half his life but still paid attention to the situation at all times, and has been summing up experience and waiting for the day of revenge, but moved to be moved, admired to admire, Chong Yanfeng still realized that something was wrong!

It would not be surprising if the above incisive arguments were summed up by people like Fan Zhongyan and Sima Guang, because these two people themselves have university knowledge and have been working in the northwest for many years, but Lao Zhou is just a small leader, a pure martial artist with a sesame mung bean, and the other party can understand so many things? There are some truths, even if you have a mirror in your heart, but it is not easy to list them so clearly, not to mention that in terms of military affairs, the other party's summary is too good, and it is impossible for Chong Yanfeng, who has read countless historical materials and academic papers in his two lives, to add another one.

Of course, what Chong Yanfeng is most interested in is actually the small book in Lao Zhou's hand, and now what the other party is talking about should only be a drop in the bucket of the book, there must be a lot of content on such a thick book, even if there are a few more incisive arguments, it is enough for Chong Yanfeng to benefit for life, how can such a thick small book not make Chong Yanfeng salivate!
