Chapter 106: Where is the Defeat?

Li Zhang left, and Xu Ping sat alone in the study, looking out the window.

The defeat of Mikawaguchi was not about how many troops were lost, but because of the impact on morale. Originally, the party rebelled against the Song Dynasty, and the DPRK and the Central Committee did not attach great importance to it, thinking that Fanbang was a clown, relying on the long distance, and the Song army was not conducive to the expedition. This time, the main force of the most elite forbidden army was defeated, and the two generals in charge of the army were lost, and many people were about to be frightened. The more unfamiliar you are about military affairs, the more likely you are to be blindly optimistic before the war, panic when there is a setback, and behave inappropriately.

After this defeat, it is also time for the DPRK and China to see clearly that the Sanya Forbidden Army in the capital is not as strong as they imagined, and if they do not reform the military system, there is only a dead end.

Speaking seriously, the record of the party army in Sanchuankou is far inferior to that of the Qinzhou army in Sanduchuan, and the fault is that the Qinzhou army is not the main force of the party, and there is no such weighty prisoner as the general of the army, and then the old generals of the Sanya army are obstructing it.

It didn't take long for Sang Yi, Gao Daquan and Cao Keming to arrive at Xu Ping's residence together, and as soon as they entered the door, they asked: "Sanchuankou is defeated, can the marshal get the news?" The second handsome has fallen, and now there is a lot of discussion outside! ”

Xu Ping said: "Sit down, let's sit down and talk." - As soon as the newspaper arrived, I already knew about it. ”

Cao Ke was obviously a little anxious: "Such a big event, why did the festival marshal let the propaganda out?" This kind of defeat is easy to shake the morale of the army, and it should be strictly ordered not to be discussed in the army! Whoever dares to disobey the order, military law is engaged! ”

Xu Ping smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The mouth of the people is worse than the defense of Sichuan, blindly blocking it will not work, it is better to block it than to sparse it." Not only should not prohibit discussion in the army, but also let them talk more, and discuss clearly how Sanduchuan was defeated! I am asking the Privy Council to send a detailed report of the Battle of Mikawaguchi, and then the battalion commander and above will be involved in the discussion of the defeat. ”

Cao Keming was stunned: "Is it really okay to do this?" I am afraid that I will grow the enemy's ambition and destroy my own prestige. ”

"Prestige is fought by bloodshed, where can it be forbidden! We have captured tens of thousands of thieves in Sanduchuan, 3,000 party soldiers, and 6,000 co-followers, how many people have fallen in Sanchuankou? It's not that scary! ”

Cao Keming looked at Sang Yi and Gao Daquan, and thought about it. Sanchuankou Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun only led 10,000 forbidden troops, most of them fled back, it was also a premeditated ambush battle, Xu Ping fought much more beautifully than Yuan Hao. In the final analysis, it was because of the fall of the two generals in charge of the army, which caused psychological panic among people.

The three of them sat down, Tan Hu arranged for someone to serve tea, and Sang Yi said: "In terms of the real record, if the battle is good, we will win in Sanduchuan." However, the loss of the two managers in this battle is really a bit scary. ”

Xu Ping looked at the three of them and said in a deep voice: "I don't let you high-ranking commanders go into battle to fight, you have always been dissatisfied, did you see it this time?" Liu Ping and Shi Yuansun are each the commanders of the road, the generals in charge of the army, each of whom commands nearly 100,000 troops. The two of them are surrounded by thieves, who will lead the troops? Of course, those commanders are unforgivable, but the two armies are facing each other and there is no one to lead the army, whose guilt is it? ”

Officers and soldiers should be clearly distinguished, and each rank, from generals to soldiers, has its own responsibilities. The commander of the first army led people to rush to the front, so who will command and organize it? When it comes to a big war, there will be those who are afraid of not fighting, and there are those who flee from the war, and these lords will be responsible, but is the lack of organizational system responsible? Fear of sending troops, the main responsibility is that there is no command in the campaign, and the commander of each army has the final say on what it should do, and those who dare to fight will lead troops to surround it, and those who dare not fight will close their camps and defend themselves. Isn't it ridiculous that the two armies faced each other, the battle broke out, and the commander of the army left with his headquarters with a word?

The deputy post of supervising the main post is actually a tradition, the most basic team level, the deputy post is the escort team at the back, and someone dares to turn back and cut it with a knife. But when he reached a higher level, there was no restriction on the commander, and he was the one who fought and the one who retreated. There will be a monopoly power, a monopoly on the command of the war, and a monopoly on decision-making power.

Sang Yi said: "There are no two generals in charge of the army in this battle, they take the lead in rushing to kill one, and then another, there is no personal guard around the main general, and it is easy to be surrounded by thieves." As long as the thief knows a little about the military system of the imperial court, it is easy to surround the commander of the army first. The snake can't do it without a head, and as soon as the main general is lost, the army will naturally be in chaos. ”

Cao Keming said: "It's true, we Qin Fenglu here require that the Chinese army must be left by the side of the main general, and the right Marquis Yu will lead the army to fight, and the main general will not be so easy to be surrounded." The other forbidden armies did not have this system, and as soon as they rushed forward, they were targeted by thieves. The forbidden army that was defeated by the enemy in the first battle of Sanchuankou was actually only two or three thousand people, and the normal arrangement should not have taken the enemy. ”

Xu Ping didn't know when this rule was formed, the two armies faced each other, and the commander of the unified army directly stepped forward to meet the enemy, and no matter how stupid the other party was, he knew that he would use superior forces to kill the commander first. As soon as the commander was lost, the forbidden army did not have a set order for the transfer of command, and the whole army was in chaos, resulting in a rout. Shaking his head, he said to Sandao: "Therefore, there are many lessons from the defeat of Sanchuankou, and when the Privy Council reports the specific battle to Qinzhou, the whole army must study it well." The same thing must not be allowed to happen in Qinfeng Road! ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ping relaxed his tone and said, "You also have to appease the army, don't be afraid of the party army because of the defeat of Sanchuankou." They surrounded the soldiers and horses of Huanqing and Yanyan with several times the force, and they still couldn't gather and annihilate the encircled forbidden army with their intentions or intentions, and their combat strength was like that. This battle lost a lot in command, and the forbidden army was still far stronger than the party army, as long as it was not caught by the thieves, it was easy to defeat the thieves when facing the enemy. When we study this battle, we also focus on officers above the battalion commander, and those who are more junior should not participate too much. must not lose proportion, because of this defeat, I thought that the thieves were stronger than the soldiers and horses of this dynasty, and even went to learn how to lead the army to fight, putting the cart before the horse. Han Chen Tang Yan said that Hu Bing Wu was the first Han soldier, even if he learned the Han armor, it was just Hu Bing San who was the first Han soldier. Now it seems that the party item is about the same as the forbidden army. In this battle, the imperial court is the first-class elite of the forbidden army, and the thief is also the elite soldier of the Hao thief himself, with five or six times the strength of the army, set up an ambush in advance, and can only defeat the forbidden army, unable to gather and annihilate. Failure is a failure of command, not that the combat strength of the non-commissioned officers of the forbidden army is inferior to that of the party members, and this point must be made clear. Don't get a sore on your foot, but cut off your head, it's hopeless. This battle also shows that when the two armies clash, the soldiers can fight, but it is more important to command properly. ”

The three of them promised. Xu Ping's words are not unforgiving, there are indeed people who have been defeated by the northern alien race several times, and they are dizzy and think that the soldiers of the alien race are better able to fight than the forbidden army. He even found many reasons such as learning to ride and shoot since he was a child, and he was able to learn hard work, and asked for the same reason to recruit troops mainly from the northwest border. In fact, judging from the performance of the battle, whether it is the party or the Khitan, the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is still far inferior to that of the Song army, and the defeat is mainly in the organization, system, and command. Many people think that war is similar to fighting in the streets, and when it fails, the shadow of a tall and sturdy enemy appears in front of them, and they are frightened first.
