Chapter 506: Close to the People

This is the change in tactical thinking caused by mobility, Dai Yun can fight this kind of interspersed attack battle unscrupulously, all he needs to worry about is whether the supply of troops can keep up, and how to maintain communication between each other, but the other party does not have such ability, the Xiling army is gathered on the front line, and the gap in armament and training has caused a gap in tactical thinking, and in front of Dai Yun, he suddenly became a little at a loss.

This time, Xiling did not decide whether he would definitely organize a full-scale offensive, and took advantage of Dongping to concentrate the main combat forces on the Northern Liao line, and attacked Dongping fiercely, especially on the territory of the Northern Xinjiang Economic Strategy. The hardest working to promote this matter is Ye Tao and Dai Yun's old rivals: Tong Bingwen, as well as his generals. Although Tong Bingwen suffered an unexpected defeat that year, he firmly led the army back to Xiling, and did not suffer too decisive losses, a slight loss of face, which was not a big problem for a veteran like him. After that, everyone also saw Ye Tao, Tan Weixin, Dai Yun, Chi Lei, Qiu Haohui and others are amazingly talented, all of them are among the best, as if they are outstanding figures among the young generation in Dongping. In particular, Ye Tao and Tan Weixin are regarded by various countries as the strongest driving force for Dongping's strong rise. Defeated at the hands of such people, Tong Bingwen can be regarded as a better one.

Tong Bingwen also did not have the qualifications to decide whether to fight this battle. The Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs of the DPRK quarreled over this matter, but Tong Bingwen still won a favorable condition, that is, the troops were drawn first, and as for whether to fight or not, everyone continued to argue about a result. If he decided not to fight, he would never risk the world's condemnation and go against the resolution of the imperial court. He made this statement, and he still won a lot of recognition, but as the troops moved forward, those ministers who originally advocated not fighting also felt more and more that since this was already the case, it was better to fight. Tong Bingwen finally got the result he wanted. However, Tong Bingwen came a little late, although he had already made a lot of arrangements in the early stage, so that the troops should pay attention to Dongping's aerial reconnaissance, and all troops should maintain extremely high vigilance, but compared to Dai Yun, who has been ahead of more than one level in tactical thinking, these generals are still a little slack. The problems inherent in the Xiling army are particularly evident in this kind of defensive operation, which especially requires concerted efforts. Although it has been several years since Xiling returned the military power to the central government and carried out centralized training, the origin of the troops is still the private army of those families, and they are still fighting separately in terms of geography and kinship, and there is still a long way to go before they can truly order and prohibit them. Tong Bingwen also had to consider such a problem when arranging the defense areas of various troops. And the place where Dai Yun attacked happened to be the junction of two forces that didn't deal with each other very well.

When Dai Yun launched the offensive, Tong Bingwen was still two days away from the frontline troops. It was also thanks to Tong Bingwen's good luck that he did not encounter any Dongping troops in the chaos of dozens of battalions in Dongping, but with 300 personal guards, and Xiling had a relatively complete formation of two troops. Subsequently, the old handsome Tong Bingwen began his own work of collecting stragglers like magic. After Tong Bingwen and his own people rounded, in fact, Dai Yun was helpless against him. Dongping's troops this time spread out too fast and too far, and the ability to rush and assault is acceptable, but Dai Yun himself has little confidence in fighting a war of attrition with a veteran like Tong Bingwen. Even though Dai Yun had made a lot of preparations in advance, there would still be things that were not well thought out. One is that the Xiling army was not scattered enough to be attacked at will by the Dongping army with the battalion as the unit, and after the attack, several troops were often gathered together, even if they were not mutually supportive, but it would still make the Dongping army have no place to speak.

Dozens of garrison battalions were interspersed, but there were not many opportunities for a war of annihilation. On several occasions, because of their ignorance of the geographical environment, they turned the war of annihilation into a crushing battle, allowing several troops to escape. Although Dai Yun was so angry, he put himself in his shoes and thought that there was nothing wrong with the decisions made by the battalions under his command and the staff officers. Although Dai Yun has been in the army for many years, he will not scold casually, and when he encounters this situation, he is the only one who sulks with himself.

Eight days after Dai Yun began to attack, Dai Yun felt that this time the battle was basically over. The Dongping army was now mainly divided into six groups, but the opponents they encountered often gathered troops of the same size. Dai Yun, who holds the concept of resolutely not fighting a war of attrition, naturally does not take risks to fight a decisive battle at will, but looks for opportunities very patiently. But Tong Bingwen's wrist is indeed high. He formed the raised troops into a group, stretching out some of them to help the others, while the rest of the troops moved with them, always at a point where they could support each other. made the Dongping army have no way to start, and when several garrison battalions gathered to prepare for joint operations, Tong Bingwen could always allocate a strong army to closely monitor and control, but he carefully kept his distance so as not to really fight together. Watching Tong Bingwen move the troops like a finger, it seems that he easily defused Dai Yun's offensive, and Dai Yun himself is also very convinced, this is the ability of a veteran, a guy who has been on the battlefield all his life.

Tong Bingwen thought clearly from the beginning: the Dongping army came to the garrison battalion, and it was impossible to fight a tough battle, not whether Dongping could win, but the garrison camp was a local pillar, as long as they could force the Xiling army, Dai Yun would be considered a success, and now that they had completed their goal, they would never pay a lot of soldiers' blood in order to kill and injure a little more Xiling sergeant. In particular, the heavy casualties of these powerful local forces are likely to cause a chain of negative reactions in a region. But Tong Bingwen can only get to this point, he also has to sigh, Ye Tao and Dai Yun have too high prestige in Yunzhou and the entire Northern Xinjiang Economic Strategy Mansion, otherwise, if they fight to die tens of thousands of people, staring at the garrison camps in certain areas, and then supplemented by secret spies to spread rumors, it is not impossible to force the Northern Xinjiang Economic Strategy Mansion to have civil strife. But as long as Ye Tao, Dai Yun, Tan Weixin and others are still there, even if Golan personally says that he wants to rebel, I'm afraid not many people will pay attention to him.

After this kind of battle itinerary that everyone felt was chewing wax, the two wise commanders invariably chose to withdraw their troops. Both armies retreated to places that were convenient for defense and camped, and a buffer zone of 200 miles was vacated in between. Dai Yun sighed that it was a pity that the Dai family's clan soldiers completed their final appearance in such a battle. But Dai Yun also saw the difference between himself and the first-class generals through this battle. Ci is not in charge of the army, compared to Tong Bingwen, Dai Yun, who is a mother, seems flexible after all. In addition, Dai Yun needs to think more deeply about the dialectic between the size and flexibility of the troops, and the small troops are fast and fast, but when they encounter this situation, they are really at a loss. In addition, the combat preparations for Xiling on the part of the Jinglufu cannot be compared with the previous preparations for the Northern Liao, and many maps do not meet the standards recognized by the officers under the rule of the Jinglufu now. After this battle, Dai Yun strictly ordered that he must come up with a detailed military map from Zhenzhou to Taizhou within half a year. On the contrary, in the realm of Taizhou, due to the activities of the Lei Yin Demon Sect, the map is more complete.

After arranging these things, Dai Yun took a small number of personal followers and flew straight to Zhongjun Town. Removing the armor on his body that was not heavy, it was basically just a decorative armor, and Dai Yun felt a little relieved. Tong Bingwen is too powerful. Fighting Tong Bingwen in a sports battle was completely different from when Tong Bingwen was completely unfamiliar with the tactics and types of the Blood Qi Army and had a contemptuous heart. The veteran pressured her almost all the time, making her think several times about how good it would have been if she had intercepted him before and killed him. Even if Dai Yun has an airship in his hand, it is useless, Tong Bingwen's tactics are not afraid of reconnaissance at all, it is a real conspiracy. And the attack of the airship, he can completely ignore it, he has enough prestige to let his troops obey his orders to fight to the death. Dai Yun kept thinking about how to deal with Tong Bingwen when he fought again in the future.

The airship did not land in Zhongjun Town, but outside a small village west of Zhongjun Town. Ye Tao, Tan Weixin and other big families were waiting for her there. There are many interesting places near Zhongjun Town, and the vegetation is very different from Yunzhou, which makes the children have a lot of fun. Whether it is Ip Man Xuan, Ip Man Machine, or even Ip Man Yun who plays behind his two elder brothers, he can recognize many types of ores. The people of the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau, the Commerce and Trade Bureau, and the General Headquarters all lamented that under the seemingly barren land of Northern Liao, there was wealth. But for children, the colorful ores are great toys.

Ye Tao's family came out to play, and he didn't bring too many guards, and he has always been low-key, and he didn't do anything to disturb the people. Everywhere they passed, the local people who originally had all kinds of speculations about this important minister of Dongping gradually changed their views. Compared with the domineering of the Western Route Army, Ye Tao and his party did not commit any crimes. Occasionally, there were some small accidents, the apologies were sincere, and the compensation was many and fast, and this important minister of Dongping soon left a deep impression among the people of Northern Liao.

And this time, after landing in the fields outside the village, after a seemingly loose but hidden murderous encirclement, many people around came to see the airship and what a legendary female general like Dai Yun should look like. When he didn't pose a threat to himself, Ye Tao didn't let the guards drive him away, and the people started from these details. As a feudal official on the ruling side, he has long had this kind of consciousness. However, Liu Yong disappeared for a while, and when he came back, he had already changed his clothes, but there was still a faint sense of excitement on his body.
