Chapter 1205: Guerrilla Tactics
Now, the Roman army is a big problem for the Tang army, and they really don't know how to fight.
They were tall and powerful, and even their weapons were a lot bigger.
Although there are also shortcomings, that is, they don't understand the military formation, but with the cooperation of Liangzhou soldiers and horses, it is not a big problem.
I've also attacked with arrows, but the effect is mediocre.
The Roman army, in two days of fighting, killed more than 3,000 people.
Although there were two fights, the soldiers still had fear.
There is fear in the heart, and when the fight starts, they are tied.
Zhang Yu was still on his way, but he also received some news.
In the next few days, Zhang Liao and Ma Chao did not break out into a big war.
On the one hand, Ma Chao waited for Ma Teng's experiment, and valued whether wearing armor would have a big impact on the Romans.
And Zhang Liao, on their side, has been researching new tactics.
The Romans were indeed powerful, but they were also human.
No matter how powerful the enemy is, there will be weaknesses, and the weakness that Mu Han discovered is the soldiers and horses of the Liangzhou army.
The soldiers and horses in Liangzhou were not so strong, at least far from being the opponent of the Tang army.
Although the Roman army was powerful, it only had 50,000 men, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could hold them back.
In this way, this Ma Chao has no way to guarantee his absolute advantage.
Once the battle situation enters a stalemate, it is very unfavorable for them.
There are many soldiers and horses in the Tang Dynasty, and a group of dead people will come again, but they can't bear it.
The soldiers and horses of Liangzhou said that they were dead, and there were more than 200,000 of them, and if the losses were too great, the Roman army would be killed without the cooperation of the soldiers and horses of Liangzhou.
After a few more days, Zhang Yu approached the battlefield.
On the way, Guo Jia received the news and began to study it.
"Lord, these Romans are powerful, but after all, they are still small in number, let's open up one more battlefield, no matter how powerful this Ma Chao is, he can still conjure up two Roman armies."
Guo Jia's suggestion made Zhang Yu ponder, the previous plan was not like this.
Before, they besieged Ma Chao and annihilated their army, so the war in Liangzhou was not difficult, and they drove straight into it and directly destroyed Ma Teng.
But now the plan has changed, no one expected that the Roman army of 50,000 people had such a strong influence that they had to change their plan.
It's nothing to change the plan, the most important thing is whether you can win the battle smoothly.
Zhang Yu began to study maps and tactics.
In later generations, there was a military master who was very suitable for guerrilla warfare.
If you can't beat it, then you will drag down the enemy, now Zhang Yu and their national strength are strong, and they can afford to drag on a long-term war, but the enemy can't, the enemy is now blocked by Zhang Yu, and it won't be long before their fragile conditions will be problematic.
In fact, if Liangzhou is a place that is blocked and cannot contact the outside world, the fragile ecology really cannot be self-sufficient.
After a boom in commerce, it has changed dramatically, and once it was locked down, many social formations have changed dramatically.
In the face of such changes, can the military and civilians of Liangzhou adapt?
In the past, there were many caravans between the East and the West, and at the same time, there were also many caravans from Zhang Yu's side that arrived in Liangzhou.
This requires hiring a lot of people, and when Zhang Yu blocks them, they lose their jobs.
There are also places such as hotels, where many customers used to be, and the people who lived around these hotels will also be unemployed.
At the same time, the Western Roman army was coming, so those strongholds in the desert could not withstand so many people, so the caravan had to stop.
In this way, I don't know how many people will lose their jobs.
I don't know how many people are unemployed, and what will happen when these people lose their jobs?
A place that started by commerce and trade is now cut off from trade, and there will be big problems.
Zhang Yu didn't know if the Ma family father and son could solve these problems, but Zhang Yu felt that a big problem would definitely happen.
"Then we will build more strong camps around us as bases, and if they come to attack, we will defend, and if they do not come, we will attack and harass them." Zhang Yu said.
was a little aggrieved, thinking that he could sweep Ma Teng, but it turned out that the Roman legion was very suitable for the attack of this cold weapon.
Originally, the Roman legions were not very strong, because their cultural level was not good, and they had not yet developed to the point where they could use stratagems and take advantage of war.
However, Ma Teng Ma Chao can, they know how to arrange troops and make their strength higher.
Zhang Yu drew circles on the map and planned to set up camps in these places.
Camps were set up, and grain and grass were not piled up in large quantities.
A camp will replenish a few days' worth of food, and once it can't be defeated, it will run away with grain and grass.
The whole Liangzhou is also very large, and many places can be places for them to attack.
Zhang Yu and they have a large number of troops, and Zhang Yu plans to let some soldiers and horses scatter and turn into small teams to attack and harass in Liangzhou.
In this way, this war can also drag on in Liangzhou, no matter how strong they are, they don't want to fight out.
Zhang Yu began to write letters for Zhang Liao to carry out, and on his side, he dispersed the 50,000 troops and let them each enter the enemy's territory.
The army was dispersed, but Ma Chao's army still had to be solved.
The appearance of Zhang Yu's army was also a huge pressure on Ma Chao.
Zhang Yu scattered 50,000 soldiers and horses, and after two days, another 50,000 were scattered, and he took 100,000 soldiers and horses not to open up battlefields in other places, but to find Zhang Liao.
The plan has changed, but it can't be helped.
Zhang Yu planned to attack Ma Chao from several directions in the state, or from the grassland.
When the time comes, they will be attacked on three sides and must be very passive.
A few days later, Zhang Yu finally joined Zhang Liao.
"The lord, his subordinates are incompetent, and they live up to the expectations of the lord." Zhang Liao was at the gate of the camp and knelt down on one knee and said.
Behind, a cadre of generals also knelt on one knee.
"Get up, I already know the matter, this Roman is strong, unexpected, it is not your fault."
They really can't be blamed for this, Zhang Liao did a good job.
A few people entered the account, and in this way, Zhang Yu's subordinates were full of talents.
"I have already sent Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai and a cadre of young generals, 100,000 soldiers and horses, and let them go to attack the interior of Liangzhou." Zhang Yu said.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief, because Zhang Yu brought 100,000 soldiers and horses over, not because other armies couldn't come.
Zhang Yu began to deliberate.
"To deal with Ma Teng, we have several ideas, the ideal is that we attack everywhere, and the father and son of the Ma family can only go back to defend the city in the end, and they can only defend a few cities." Zhang Yu said.
"The army, we do not fight against them, use guerrilla warfare, slowly exhaust the enemy, so that we can also find out the enemy's weaknesses."
Zhang Yu planned to try first to see if he could lure the enemy deeper.
Zhang Yu's strategy was decided, and then it began to be implemented.
Next, Ma Chao came to attack, Zhang Yu and they fought for a while and then retreated, Ma Chao pursued for a while, and found that the enemy was not chaotic, so he did not dare to pursue, but burned Zhang Yu's camp, and then went back.
Several times in a row, Zhang Yu found that the enemy did not dare to pursue, so he did not continue to retreat.
