959 to talk about
The South Korean army retreated reluctantly, because of the above political reasons, although many soldiers were extremely reluctant, but all the soldiers obeyed their orders without exception.
They have already been indoctrinated with a mind at the time of training. The conduct of a soldier is to stick to his post and fulfill his orders, and the training method of the Qin State repeatedly instilled this way of thinking in the first day.
It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. No one shall disobey the order. This is very important in the training of the gun era, because if one of them escapes, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction of many people. In order to keep the formation unchanged. Military personnel were repeatedly indoctrinated with the idea of strict observance of orders.
South Korean troops retreated. Also retreating were the Qi army. The Qi army's approach to Yandu began to turn around and retreat, they knew very well that the strength of the allied forces was increasing, and the Qi officers knew that they were facing such an opponent. So, coupled with their supply difficulties, this forced them to choose to retreat on their own initiative.
"Did you hear that?" An officer at the bottom of the Qi army asked, another officer. Behind them was a group of Qi troops who were heading south, carrying guns and saluting.
"What?" Another officer asked.
"Our front. There is also a erratic army that harasses us again. The officer said.
"I know." Another officer said.
"So what are we going to do?" The officer said.
"We're going to run into them sooner or later." The officer said.
"Those hateful people, ruining our supplies." Another officer said helplessly.
The Qi army occupies the rear of the Yan State. A Qin guerrilla cavalry force frequently harassed the Qi army's logistical supply lines. The Qi army's supply lines were stretched for a long time. Because it's a matter of logistical supply lines. The guerrillas basically did not have to think about any logistical difficulties. The Qi army is different, plus the logistics supply line of the Qi army is very long. Even if the Qi army took the initiative to attack these guerrilla cavalry, they could take advantage of their high mobility to go farther away to harass the Qi army's supply lines. This was a heavy blow to the Qi army.
In addition, the Qi army was newly defeated under Yandu City, and most of the troops fell into Yandu City and did not retreat. Only a very small number of officers with a small number of troops took the initiative to break through the encirclement. Some Qi soldiers surrendered on their own initiative. As a result, the morale of the Qi army was very low.
The retreat of the Qi army carried a strong atmosphere of defeat. They understood very well that this time they were driven out again. The shadow of defeat hangs over everyone's heads. From officers to soldiers. It's clear to everyone.
And the Allies are pursuing the Qi army according to the plan they have personally developed. Because of the difference in the affiliation of the army. Zhao Jun has the largest number. But the Yan army fought on its own. And Han Jun is purely here to help. They can do anything, they just need to train their army's will to fight.
Because the relationship of military subordination is different. There was a great deal of division within the Allies. The Yan Army's plan is slowly advancing. The reconquest of lost territory made Zhao Jun feel very strange. The Yan army is fighting on its own, but it plans to advance slowly.
In fact, Yan Jun has his own plans. They believe that the Qi army is not so easy to defeat. Although they defeated the Qi army under the city of Yandu. However, the tragic street battles in the city of the Qi army taught them a deep lesson. The Qi army's will to fight is very tenacious.
In addition, they are the prince's army, not the king's army, that is, King Yan's own army, and the relationship between them is very delicate. The relationship between King Yan and the crown prince is very delicate. The subtlety lies in military power. Now the combat effectiveness of King Yan's army has dropped sharply. Plus the army suffered more losses. Yan Wang's control is very poor. Opposite. Because the prince's army fought strongly. Although they were all new troops, they were very morale in battle. And well-equipped.
At the same time, the Yan prince's army needed to preserve its own strength, so that they could strive for greater advantages in the future power struggle, and for this reason, the Yan army, especially the Yan prince's army, chose a slow offensive route.
The opposite of Yan Jun is Zhao Jun. The Zhao army did not have much understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Qi army, and they believed that with the weapons in their hands and sufficient logistical supplies, they could defeat the Qi army in a short time. After the victory over the Qi army. They will receive a large amount of war materiel. Most of these supplies came from the Qi army. They can make a fortune out of it.
This reason prompted the Zhao army to choose to pursue the enemy quickly, and the combat effectiveness of the Qi army was not very strong in the Zhao army.
The contradictions and differences between the Yan army and the Zhao army were relatively large, and in desperation, the two armies chose to divide their troops. The two armies divided their forces to the south, one fast and the other slow, and they had to drive their opponents apart.
As for the South Korean army, the South Korean army has chosen a more secure approach, and they have taken on the logistics work.
As a result, the Allied troops fought south in two directions.
The Qin side of the allied army's division plan was only notified, and they only knew the result, and the specific situation, Qin State did not know at all. That's right. Wang Jian has his own opinions.
"Zhao Jun's rapid progress has great benefits. There are also big drawbacks. Wang Jian said.
"The Zhao army can take advantage of this kind of rapid intersperse, which can surround the Qi army and then concentrate on encirclement and annihilation, but in this case, there is also a big drawback. That is, if the details are not handled well, it is very easy, and in turn, the power that surrounds you will be directly defeated. In that case, the Zhao army will suffer heavy losses. Wang Jian looked at the results of the telegram and said.
"Yes." Yang Duanhe just nodded in agreement.
And Li Mu also has this view. After Li Mu saw this telegram. Frowning.
"Immediately send a report to the front line, ask them to revise the battle plan, and the troops must not act rashly." Li Mu said loudly.
"Go." Li Mu then shouted.
"Whoa." The guard on the side agreed. Although the names of the front-line combat units of the Zhao army were modified, they were uniformly addressed as commanders. This makes it easier to manage. And start using "Yes." "But that's just the beginning, in some places. The guards were still willing to use their original names. Like what. "Whoa."
Li Mu had already seen the biggest drawback of this battle plan.
The Zhao army actually chose the plan of rapid attack, the plan of the Zhao army was that the cavalry troops plus some fast troops, these troops were equipped with some bicycles and carriages for rapid transportation, so that they formed a mobile combat force, they boldly surpassed the slow retreating Qi troops, the Qi army only had infantry, and their fast troops lost a large number of horses and bicycles in the retreat, and these equipment came to the hands of the Zhao army at this time. The Zhao army naturally made good use of it, and they boldly used these mobile forces to overtake those Qi troops that were slowly advancing, and then intercept them on the way back of the Qi army. In this way, the infantry and heavy artillery units that followed slowly behind the Zhao army could follow up and destroy them together.
Zhao Jun is very bold from today's point of view, but it is also very ordinary, but it seems at the time. Such a plan lacks a certain degree of rationality. Because, Zhao Jun did not have the experience of such a battle. And this is what Li Mu is most worried about.
"Our army, which does not have such and such combat experience, has taken such a big step all at once, and our people will suffer a great loss." Li Mu said to a staff officer.
Also opposed was Mr. Lee, who also felt that such a plan was too risky. Although in terms of results, it is very large. However, the risks are significant. And Zhao Jun has just adapted to this new way of cooking, and such a large-scale intersperse is really outrageous.
Despite Lee's repeated objections, his military rank was merely a major. Most importantly, Major General Zhao Jun believed that Li Zuoche's combat troops were already tired. Let them take the initiative to rest in Yandu for a while. If possible, they will be redeployed to the state of Zhao. That is, it will be possible that the troops of Li Zuoche will be withdrawn from combat positions. Li Zuoche's troops in the Battle of Yandu. More than 30 percent of the troops were lost. This is a very serious attrition for a force. Take this situation into account. The major general very humane let Li Zuoche withdraw from the battle.
However, Li Zuoche believes that Zhao Jun's current battle plan is still very risky, and he hopes that the major general will think about it carefully. Despite this, Li Zuoche still couldn't change anything.
And Shang Wen was still at the train station at this time, and the train arrived at Taiyuan Station. There, Sang-wen received a telegram from South Korea.
"Prime Minister, a telegram from the Queen of Korea." A secretary handed over a special telegram.
"The Queen of Korea?" Shang Wen said in disbelief.
"Yes. Prime minister. The secretary continued.
"Okay, bring it and I'll take a look." Shang Wen said.
Shang Wen opened the telegram and took a quick look.
That's probably what the telegram says. The Queen of South Korea hopes to be able to talk to Sang-moon directly and face to face. What is talked about, there is no specifics. Shang Wen was very surprised by such a telegram. Moreover, he didn't know what Han Shu wanted to do.
"I really don't understand what the Koreans are doing." Shang Wen said.
"We're there now." Shangwen asked.
"Taiyuan, we have arrived in Taiyuan, and in one day, we can reach Xianyang." The secretary said.
"Yes." Shang Wen nodded and said.
"Well, can we be rerouted to South Korea?" Shangwen asked.
"Well, we need to return to Handan. This is the only way to reach Korea. The secretary said. There is no direct train from Taiyuan in Qin to Xinzheng in South Korea, because a Taihang Mountain is blocked in the middle, and it is very difficult to build a railway in the mountainous area.
