Carefully set up an ambush to annihilate the enemy
The Curry Mountain Road, Dolan Village, which is the only way to enter the hinterland of the Silver Moon Empire, is also one of the four roads that Pang Tong pointed out that day that the Roman legions transported military rations. www.biquge.info Some time ago, the Roman legions attacked, the momentum was too big to resist, the villagers took their families and hid in the mountains, the Roman soldiers entered several times but were impatient with the terrain here is too complicated, so they had to burn down the mountain village, and they have not been here since.
But at this time, there was a bustle on the ruins of the original Dolan Village, hundreds of big men were eating, but except for the sound of eating, it was extremely quiet here, the fire was not alive, and everyone ate dry food, just fill their stomachs with water. But in the eyes of the villagers, there was a difference between their country's army and the Han soldiers, even when they were eating, the former was feasting, while the latter was extremely economical, and it seemed that they ate the same frequency! This is surprising, considering that there is a lot of prey hunted today.
The decision of the Han army to expedition to Tianzhu was not made overnight, which went through a process of nearly two years, and the main force of the army is also doing adaptive training for this, the climate and soil of Tianzhu are not small differences from the Han Dynasty, and the geography is also unfamiliar. According to the caution of Liu Yi and the ministers, how could they send troops without full preparation? Of course, brainstorming and exhaustion! For example, several major forces have conducted mountain and jungle combat training in Yazhou for half a year.
The so-called wise man must make a mistake, and a big shortcoming of the Han army was finally put forward by a local soldier of the Longxiang Army in Yazhou, this person is named Ah Hu, and later Liu Yi personally commended him! Of course, Ah Hu's words at that time were very simple, "The food in the army is too good, but if you are hungry, can you still fight like this?" His captain is also a young man from the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy, and when he heard this, he suddenly felt a lot of reports, and finally until he reached the place where Xu Huang, the commander of the Longxiang Army, was the general of Zhengdong, and Gong Ming also felt that it was extremely necessary.
In the past ten years, the logistics system of the Han army has become more and more sound, and the battle of Chibi has almost never experienced a shortage of logistics. For example, the soldiers had to eat hot food, drink hot water, and even be able to take a bath! Liu Yi's starting point is, of course, to ensure the combat strength of the army to the greatest extent, and Tian Yu has also completed this with great energy, and gradually the Han army has become accustomed to such a model. But if you go to a foreign land, how can the logistics be kept so perfect? If not, can the combat power of the Han army be as strong as in the Han Dynasty? The more Xu Huang thought about it, the more he shuddered, and immediately wrote to the Kaiyuan Emperor.
Liu Yi's reaction after receiving the letter was also the same as Xu Huang, although there has been no training of war soldiers in recent years, although it is also a high standard and strict requirements and tactical theories are constantly updated, but in some aspects it has formed a blind spot, such as this logistics matter, the more perfect the better, but once the support is not effective? The Han army can't be like the soldiers of the United States in World War II, and can only fight battles with sufficient supplies! The Son of Heaven, who was alert in time, immediately convened the ministers to discuss the matter, and then a vigorous army movement began, Liu Yi's requirement was that the battle with a full stomach could be fought, and the battle with a hungry stomach should be fought as well, and the major generals also fully realized the importance of this point, and they made suggestions one after another!
In the end, even the doctors participated in this revolution, and the theory of ration of grain and grass was proposed at that time, and all soldiers would have a certain proportion of materials according to the intensity of the battle in wartime, and they should be able to hold out for the longest time using these! When Liu Xin's Xuanjia became an army, it was just in time for this change, and King Lu's requirements for Xuanjia have always been the most stringent standards!
"That's it!" After eating the last bite of rice crackers, Gan Ding carefully wrapped the remaining three-quarters and stuffed them into his arms and said in a deep voice, as the supreme commander of this team, he must lead by example, today's wolf tactics can be different from those of the year, the team has to go through a long period of no rear combat, at least to make such preparations, those rice crackers brought when setting off are extremely important materials, and the daily water must be rationed in order to last longer.
"Xiao Rang, Asud, and these fellows, let's take a look at the terrain of the Kude Valley first." Seeing that the soldiers were all moving in one motion, he nodded willingly and satisfied, stood up and spoke. The second brother's Xuanjia is powerful, it's not that he hasn't seen elite soldiers, but their performance has been almost perfect in the past few days, especially in this mountain forest, they still have the ability to survive! Two days ago, there was news that there was a Roman army carrying grain from here, and the total strength of the escort was about 3,000 people, although there were only 500 in their own hands, but there were many other external conditions for fighting.
Asude was the leader of the Yinyue soldiers in the team, and Xiao Rang was specially sent by Liu Xin to help Gan Ding, and when the former heard this, he said a few words to the old village chief, and immediately several strong and strong young people came out to lead the way for them. Although the old village chief, including the local Asude, introduced it in great detail, it is not negligent about the battle situation, and Gan Ding must go to the scene to watch, only in this way can the troops be arranged according to the terrain, and the advantage of the enemy's army can be offset as much as possible!
There are thirty miles of mountain roads in the valley of Hude, all winding and extremely difficult, and Asud is a little unbearable halfway through, but Gan Ding Xiao Rang is closely following behind a few hunters, and there is no sign of falling behind. Back then, the princes of the Eighteenth Road crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and the battle of Bishui to seize the pass was Liu Yi and Gan Ning climbed the cliff of a hundred zhang to establish a miraculous feat, and Gan Ding also got his father's inheritance, as for Xiao Rang, Xuanjia's mountain warfare and jungle warfare training is not worse than that of Longxiang Tiger Guard! Liu Xin said that they are the most powerful cavalry on horseback, and even if there is no war horse, they are first-class infantry!
Asude secretly admired, the same is true of those hunters, they can hear more clearly when they are close, the two Han generals are breathing extremely smoothly until this time, they are familiar with the terrain but others are not familiar with it, and the physical strength of the two must be extremely strong! However, seeing that Asoud was a little out of breath, the hunters slowed down slightly, and at first they deliberately tried to try.
After a while, they arrived at a clear pool, a hunter went down and took a large bag of water with his own leather bag, Gan Ding and Xiao Rang drank a few small sips without any disapproval, but they did not drink wildly, and the hunters who watched nodded again and again! These Han troops are very good, they are still very friendly to them, that is, they are much better than their own army, with such friendly troops to help, I believe they will be able to drive those hateful Romans out!
After walking thirty miles of mountain road, they had to climb a cliff of thirty or forty zhang, and they also did not let the hunters use rattan to help, so Gan Ding and Xiao Rang followed behind them and climbed it with their bare hands, and the whole process was clean and extremely stable. However, Asud had to rely on everyone to hang down the rattan from the top of the cliff to climb up, so he also had a deeper understanding of the comprehensiveness of the Han army!
"Brother Xiao, draw!" Standing on the top of the cliff, you can see the entire Kude Valley, just take a look at Gan Ding is eyes lit up, this is indeed a good place to ambush and break the enemy, but the premise is that there must be soldiers who are familiar with mountain warfare, otherwise many commanding heights can not be used well, and when he spoke, Xiao Rang had already taken out a sheepskin scroll to draw a map, as the first place in the graduation of the Youzhou Martial Arts Academy in the ninth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, these jobs have almost become his instinct.
"Asud, you see there, there, and there, they are the best places to ambush archers, and I think a few boys from your thirteenth and fourteenth teams are suitable, their archery skills are good." Gan Ding walked aside very reassuringly, and did not disturb Xiao Rang's drawing, and kept pointing around the valley in his hand and said to Asude at the same time.
"Well, what General Gan said is that those boys are nimble and will definitely go up, and the crossbow arrows provided by your army can catch the other party off guard!" Asud also has an eye, otherwise he would not have been sent here by Leonard, Gan Ding said that he also saw that those high places are full of vision, and there are trees as barriers, which are the best positions for archers, and the Silver Moon soldiers mentioned by Gan Ding were also born in the mountains.
"A few here will be handed over to us, the gentle slope on the opposite side can be arranged with fifty people, more with withered leaves and rattan woven into balls, when the time comes, light the fire and push it down, the current formation of the Roman army, the valley road here is more open, can accommodate four horses in parallel, you can let Xuanjia in front of your cavalry, once the ambush is successful and wait for the enemy to attack, there must also be fifty people, the task is the same, use the rocks and grass balls to block the enemy's retreat, I want them to not be able to leave!" Gan Ding smiled and continued to point out, the best sniper terrain should still be occupied by Xuanjia soldiers.
As a general, you must have the most in-depth understanding of the characteristics of your own soldiers, and the confidant in the art of war is this meaning, before and after the departure, Gan Ding has worked the Roman soldiers who follow him, and he has memorized everyone's looks and strengths, if it weren't for their names being too awkward and not in line with the customs of the Han Dynasty, he would definitely be able to write it down! Otherwise, he wouldn't have talked about the specific personnel arrangements of the Silver Moon Empire to Assud just now, and the latter had no objection to this!
"That's what General Gan said, but we have to come to the ambush a little earlier." Hearing this, Asud also gave his opinion, and the information said that the arrival of the Roman grain convoy in about three or four days was estimated according to the normal state, but their preparations must be done in advance, and the ambush war has a high standard for personnel requirements and formation!
"You and Xiao Rang don't have to go back later, I'll go over with my fellow countrymen and lead the army to come immediately!" Hearing this, Gan Ding said categorically, with Xiao Rang's experience, he has a greater role here than himself!
