Section 736 Comparison of the strength of the enemy and the enemy

"Speaking of unity. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info "engaged in Zhonglang Wei Sili is responsible for discipline, he acts as an ugly man, and expresses his opinion: "Unity, the same caliber, don't say what you shouldn't say, and be consistent with the house!" ”

"Everyone knows the temper of the general, behind closed doors, anything can be said, and it doesn't matter if you quarrel!"

"But after going out, everything is subject to the resolution of the meeting, and I don't want to say the reason, understand?!"

"Understood!" Everyone nodded in unison.

……

"Well, after talking for a long time, I finally got to the things that everyone cares about." Wei Xi said: "That's the matter of the white-clothed army of millions of people coming to fight us, and I invited Jiang Changshi (the long history of the Fuyuan General's Mansion, from the Sanpin Official) to introduce the situation to us." ”

Jiang Shi left his seat and picked up the whip to introduce the situation to everyone: "In April this year, the white-clothed food formed a consensus that we should not fight a small fight against our army, so they decided to send out the troops of the country to attack us, the first step is to defeat us in one fell swoop, and the second step is to destroy our country. ”

"He's delusional!" The soldiers said angrily.

"It's delusional, but it's a thought." Jiang Zhi pointed out Mulu on the map and said: "This is the heavy assembly point of the Great Food Army, where the personnel and materials are concentrated, and it is scheduled to be collected at the beginning of next year, and then the troops will be attacked." ”

"According to intelligence analysis, they have at least 300,000 cavalry, more than 500,000 infantry, plus 500,000 people in front of the branch, and the total number has reached 1.3 million, known as a million army, and their caliph will drive the expedition in person, so the morale is still good."

"Next, let me introduce the situation of the white clothes and food, and give you a comprehensive understanding!"

"***** caliph is not only the head of state, religious leader, but also the military commander-in-chief, the current caliph is called Abdul Malik, more capable, has been waging war with foreign countries, and the army is in the direction of the army, and it has reached Spain in Europa."

"They don't have a lot of standing armies, the main ones are the Caliph's Praetorian Guard and some mercenaries, and the rest are large tribal armies under the command of tribal leaders."

"Okay, let's compare the pros and cons of the two armies."

"Due to the large presence of tribal armies, their equipment is not very good, the caliphate's Praetorian Guard equipment is okay, but others are not, this is an opportunity."

He immediately showed off the equipment of the Great Eater Army in White, including sabers, spears, and bows and arrows.

Two sergeants gave an example, using a large scimitar and a Tang knife to cut each other.

As a result, the scimitar was broken into two, so the Tang generals loudly laughed at the inferior level of the big food weapon.

Then he took a scimitar with a strange pattern and collided with the Tang knife, and the sparks sputtered, and none of the knives broke, but the Tang knife was tightened!

Everyone took the steel knife to take a look, and saw that its blade was extremely sharp, and it felt heavy when it was lifted.

"This is a Damascus steel knife made of Uzi steel!" Jiang Zhi told everyone.

Originally, many generals had heard of the name of Uzi steel, and they should not underestimate other countries, but Jiang Shi pointed out that the output of Uzi steel was not very large, and it was not easy to smelt, and only the middle and senior officers of the Caliph's Praetorian Guard and tribes wore Damascus steel knives made of Uzi steel.

"So we don't have to be afraid, and it's also difficult for them to cut our knives, at most they will suffer a loss, but in a chaotic war, this loss is nothing, killing people is just a matter of a few knives, and there are very few things to fight to cut off knives!" Jiang Zhi is quite sure of authenticity.

Feeling that it made sense, everyone nodded their heads.

"There are ...... again," Jiang Shi said with a smile on his face, "Their bows and arrows are far inferior to ours!" ”

It turned out that the biggest difference between the Arab cavalry and the cavalry of the East Asian nomads was that they were not good at riding and shooting. The Arabs were accustomed to hand-to-hand combat with their sabers and spears in a quick assault.

Their bows are not made well, and their arrows are poor.

It's really good news, you know, Wei Xi attaches great importance to mounted archery, and even puts it on top of cavalry warfare!

As long as they are cavalrymen, they have undergone strict cavalry and archery training, and they have carried out static to static, static and moving, and dynamic to dynamic shooting.

Our army's cavalry and archery ability is the best in the world!

As Jiang Zhi said, the other party will be in big trouble!

We don't fight the enemy, we just shoot arrows, and we shoot non-stop, and the enemy collapses on its own.

Sensing that everyone seemed to be blindly optimistic, Jiang Zhi issued a warning.

"The big cannibals have a certain advantage in horses, and their Arabian horses are the best horse breeds in the world, and the horses are fast, suitable for survival and combat in the desert Gobi, which is incomparable with the horses of the Tang Army."

As a qualified chief of staff, Jiang Zhi has complete information, and it is compared that the Hexi horses and Mongolian horses equipped by the Tang Army are not as good as the Arab horses!

"Therefore, when we deal with their cavalry, we must fully consider the speed of their horses, for example, when we take the advance measure, their horses are faster than expected, and we must adapt to them."

"Then again, there are not many such good horses, only the Caliph's Janissaries and a small number of tribal armies have Arabian horses, and the rest are local horses, not our horses' opponents, who run slowly and have poor staying power."

"It would be a big mistake if we underestimate their tribal army, and the fanaticism for religion makes the soldiers of the Great Food Empire very brave. Even in the face of our rain of arrows and knives. Even if you are torn to shreds, you will move forward.

Our morale is very high, their morale is not bad, the caliph is on a personal expedition, and the combat effectiveness it inspires is terrible, everyone must be in good spirits! ”

……

"Our current strength, standing army of 250,000, 150,000 cavalry and 100,000 infantry, once the general mobilization is carried out, we can recruit a total strength of 600,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry!"

Jiang Zhi spent enough saliva and conducted a lot of analysis and comparison of the army's training, combat effectiveness, equipment, grain, horses, and so on, and came to the conclusion: Everyone has their own advantages, and our army does not have an absolute advantage in this battle, so we should not take the enemy lightly.

"Since it was the enemy army that launched an attack on our army, the General Staff drew up a battle plan."

He pointed out the location on the big map

"Retreat in stride, abandon the original Zhaowu Kingdoms, lengthen the enemy's lines of communication, set up defenses in Broken Leaf and Guizi, defend the city, and wait for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy!"

The reputation of the million-strong army is loud, but it is a terrible strict prohibition for logistics, and the old Zhaowu countries are mostly desert areas, and abandoning them will not cause much loss to the Zhou army, but it will become an insurmountable natural danger for the Great Food Army!

After only holding out for three months, the Great Food Army is likely to disintegrate on its own.

Or, it was not impossible for the Zhou army to defeat the enemy head-on, after all, the Zhou army had more cavalry than the Great Food Army.

……

"Thank you to our Chief of Staff for giving us so much introduction! This is a national war, which is related to the life and death of our country and the survival of our group! ”
