Chapter 247: Advance and Retreat
Li He stood in a small village called Yukou Town, which was already sixty miles away from the Fangjia River they had crossed, and the residents of the town were indifferent to the entry of the Tianzhu people, perhaps this was related to the fact that the original rule of His Royal Highness King Ning was not stable here.
For them, a change of master is purely a change of tax object, and even this tax object is far from above, and has never disturbed the established order here.
This is also the norm of country rule in this era. This has been the case for hundreds of years, and the commercial forces of the times have changed only the cities where the population is concentrated, and have never extended their influence to these ends of society.
His partner Fang Boxuan was standing next to him, in a manic state of mind.
"What, don't let us move forward, now! Staying in place? Do you want to be ready to push back to Fangjiahe at any time? What the hell, bastards, do these bitche-raised guys sitting in the command know how to fight at the front line, how can they just stop? This time our attack went so smoothly, it was a good opportunity to drive the enemy into the sea in one fell swoop, why give up? ”
The herald who had been looking for him next to him and finally found it looked helpless, he was just a herald, as for why, where did he know.
"What, if we don't stop, we're going to cut off my ammunition supply, I'm Cao! They dare ......"
Fang Boxuan looked at the herald viciously, as if he wanted to sprinkle all this anger on his head, and looked at him fiercely, just like looking at those bastards in the headquarters in Fang Boxuan's mouth. But in the end, Fang Boxuan finally came back to his senses in frustration, looked at his adjutant with a strange look, and scolded unwillingly.
"Hey, these bastards!"
There is no way, this attack was said in advance to be a local experimental battle, I didn't expect to be able to fight so far in advance, and now the command behind me saw that these officers below them were spreading so far at once, so naturally they had to find them one by one and put a tight spell on them.
"Then you still want to retire?"
Li He asked,
Fang Boxuan waved his hand, as if he had just lost a battle, and said angrily:
"Retreat!"
At the sound of the order, the officers and soldiers of the three battalions who had just broken into this town retreated from the town like a tide, and when they left, they did not forget to distribute many of the captured materials of the Song army to the following, marching dry food, standard clothing, and those tents used to camp or something, there are a lot of them, so that the idlers in the town have more food out of thin air, which is really like the New Year.
The generous Tianzhu soldiers were remembered by some people in the town, and correspondingly, there was a legend of the Tianzhu Army in this town.
The retreat of the Tianzhu army made the command of the Song army very depressed.
Gwangju, a coastal port city called Gwangju near the South Seas, is home to the headquarters of Wang Bo's army.
Just as he didn't expect that the Tianzhu Army, which was obviously already in difficult logistics, would suddenly burst into a blow, he also didn't expect the Tianzhu Army to strike a violent blow, causing a huge amount of damage to his subordinates, making him angry, and his subordinates finally became familiar with the offensive of the Tianzhu Army, and he also mobilized the army from the rear, concentrated the superior forces, and prepared to give the first blow to several Tianzhu troops who had stepped on the front line, and the Tianzhu Army retreated on all fronts.
Fall back?
And it is to withdraw without hesitation, and to withdraw smoothly.
The whole offensive was like a pre-planned game to tease the Song army.
The resentment that Song Jun had been holding back for several days was empty again.
The army of more than 100,000 was mobilized, and a huge amount of logistics resources were squandered, just followed by the Tianzhu army's ass for a pull-up?
I'm not angry, I'm not angry!
Wang Bo, a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, was so angry by the rapid advance and retreat of the Tianzhu Army that he almost got sick. It's really weird.
However, Wang Bo is not an ordinary person after all, decades of combat experience is extremely rich, he deeply understands that the more this is the case, the more it is necessary to stabilize the formation, this wave of Song troops up and down is mobilized up and down the heart of impetuousness, even the command sequence is a little panicked, hundreds of thousands of troops are sprinkled on the entire front like pepper noodles, the entire defense system is all messed up, such a situation is absolutely not to go to war.
Now Wang Bo is a little glad that the Tianzhu army has retreated, otherwise in the current situation of the Song army, there are really flaws everywhere in the defense line, if it is really a full-scale war, the Tianzhu army is really likely to be like a bamboo. And if this war starts, the result after the war will definitely not be just a partial loss, which may even lead to the complete collapse of the Song army.
Wang Bo thought about it and sweated profusely, knowing that he had definitely committed a commander's taboo on the battlefield and underestimated his opponent.
Not to mention anything else, just look at the surprise attack of the Tianzhu army, in just a few days, hit the troops, focus on breakthroughs, and advance in depth in a very orderly manner after the breakthrough, the Tianzhu army used only about 50,000 or 60,000 troops in this local offensive, of which the sharp knife elite is more than 20,000, but he annihilated more than 10,000 of his men, defeated 50,000 or 60,000, and the entire Xuanwu Army killed a regiment commander and several battalion commanders, and was almost completely defeated.
However, these are not the most terrible in Wang Bo's eyes, and I am afraid that the biggest thing is that the Song army is not familiar with the new tactics of the Tianzhu army, and was blinded, this reason Wang Bo is completely understandable, in his opinion, this failure is forgivable, and it is not a real failure.
The most terrifying thing is that the Tianzhu army has obviously occupied the battlefield advantage, and it can continue to pursue and expand the advantage, but it is a comprehensive retreat under the order, and the speed of retreat is even faster than when it came, which is a little terrifying.
He's a veteran and knows what it means to have an army that can perform such tactical maneuvers.
Retreat in war has always been a technical task, and if you are not careful, it can turn into a major rout, and there are countless examples of this throughout the ages.
However, the Tianzhu army on the opposite side was so calmly completed.
What does this mean, this shows that the professionalism of this Tianzhu army has reached an extremely terrifying height, orders and prohibitions, can be issued and received, since ancient times, there are not many troops that can achieve this level.
It is almost impossible for such an army to be completely defeated, and an army with this kind of battlefield execution is almost inherently invincible on the battlefield.
And how terrible it must be to be able to train the commander of such an army.
At this time, Wang Bo began to feel that the war between Tianzhu and the Great Song Dynasty was likely not as simple as they originally imagined.
