Chapter 419: Sticking the Persians to Our Battlefield—3

Suning had actually guessed the next choice of the Persians, although they would continue to retreat, but obviously they would be more careful, and maybe they would leave the main combat force to cover the important baggage convoys, because those heavy grain and grass were the logistical support for them to pacify the internal rebel forces after they returned to the Persian plateau. For the Persian emperor, foreign conquest gave him a good excuse to go on a violent internal campaign, so he got a very rich logistical reserve this time, but if it was to be judged internally, it was very likely that those centrists would not give corresponding support, but might turn around and support the rebels and overthrow him, the insatiable emperor.

Therefore, these food and ordnance materials are very important to him, and they must not be lost in Suning's pursuit operation.

However, in this way, it is very likely that the Persian soldiers who stayed behind to ambush the pursuing troops would not be able to carry too much food, because it would not be convenient for them to maneuver on the plains, nor would it be conducive to catching up with the logistics army that had already set off after the victory.

And that's where they have a major weakness in the deployment process.

The next deployment is a variety of plans for this weakness, since they can't carry too much supplies in the later stage, then simply besiege them, once they have to the other armies around them, launch a long-term battle of Weidian party members, vigorous dance, can easily be carried out in this open area, although there is no steep terrain to use, however, within Suning's system, more and more soldiers have been issued flintlock pistols, love this long-range firepower with the help, The steep terrain may allow the pill in the chamber of the gun to slip out.

However, it is unlikely that the plan of sending troops this time will be broken into pieces like last time and use small forces to pursue and sneak attack, but will use the method of fighting in large forces to carry out large-scale encirclement and suppression operations against the possible ambushes of mushrooms.

Of course, the prerequisite for this plan is to find the enemy, so the operation to find the enemy must be carried out at the first time, fortunately, they have just disengaged from contact, and it is impossible to forget the mission of fighting with the enemy because they spent a relatively comfortable night under the cover of the trenches, so when the scouts rushed out of the lair early the next morning, Suning already knew that the information about the enemy's traces would definitely appear on his desk in the afternoon of the same day.

At 12:02 noon that day, the earliest scouts sent him information about the enemy's position.

Miraculously, you were prepared and equipped with much more difficult equipment than the other party, so none of the scouts died, but a few of them hung up.

But Suning was still furious because of this, and he immediately ordered several regiments on standby to attack on all fronts, searching for the enemy army near their trench line.

After receiving the order, several large armies immediately crossed their trenches and pursued them in the direction of the enemy's retreat.

It's just that this time it seems to have taken over in the face of the opponent. The old Persian generals had foreseen that the traces of their armies were so well concealed that the armies of all stripes did not discover the tracks of their movements.

This news was quickly spread to Suning, from Suning's point of view, this is likely to be caused by two reasons, one is the action of the various legions, not counting the unification, the support distance between them is also a bit large, which is likely to allow some small groups of Persian soldiers to get a gap. Therefore, in the past search, it is very likely that there will be some omissions.

Another possibility is that the commander of the other party is very shrewd, only knowing that after not killing the group of eating queens, his position has been exposed, which will inevitably attract a large-scale pursuit by the enemy, and there is only one choice left for them to do, that is, to escape with their lives.

The pursuit of a large army is certainly not as flexible as a small army, even if it is a straight line, the forward troops are also trained, and the safety of the logistics baggage is estimated, and the large logistics burden also limits the speed of the logistics corps, so that the men of the forward battalion, even if they advance lightly, cannot be too far away from the large team, so this is likely to be another reason for not catching up with them.

But what happened that night made Suning know that neither of his guesses was actually reliable, because his trench battle was suddenly attacked by a Persian army that night.

Yes, as Suning expected, his several legions, relatively far away, came without effective support, unable to carry out a dragnet investigation of the gap in the middle, it is very likely that some Persian troops will be left behind, but he guessed the first half of the matter, but ignored the second half of the matter, these Persian troops did avoid the pursuit and encirclement of the pursuers, but they did not stop at the point of glancing that they were still alive, but immediately joined the counterattack, taking advantage of the gap between those pursuing armies, a successful counter-assault, because of their small numbers, did not reach the vicinity of the trench until they were discovered by the local defenders.

A fierce skirmish ensued, and since a large number of troops were already in pursuit, there were not enough defenders left in the trenches, so some of the surrounding troops had to join the battle as quickly as possible. The Great Wall of Defense planned by Suning himself even fell into an embarrassing situation of a large blank area at a certain moment, fortunately, the other party did not have enough strength to attack the surrounding blank area, otherwise, those trenches that were useless would not be able to stop the Persian army that had a little experience, and then they would penetrate into the rear of Suning's defensive line, and their various logistical supplies would be directly threatened.

It's a pity that the Persian hometown didn't have enough courage for him to launch this reverse impact, but it didn't have enough strength to shake the scientific and technological development of the Han Dynasty over the years, although the industrial system under the leadership of Suning still has a very long way to go, but it is undeniable that the current Persians can no longer be an obstacle in front of them.

Even in the basic military confrontation, they had no advantage, when the reinforcements arrived, the old Persian generals of the Zhao army found that their soldiers had been killed and wounded, so the Han army rushed out of their trenches, and ended the lives of these old Persians with a tragic and blood-red white-knuckle battle on the first side.
