Chapter 279: Blood Feud for Generations
There are constantly people coming in and out of the camp of the Chinese army, and all the sergeants and civilians are busy, but this war is too much involved, but the logistics of the army is a bottomless pit. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is a big battle with 100,000 people, and in order to ensure the needs of the army to fight deep into Mobei, there will be more than one million people in the rear to transport supplies to the front line for many years.
After all, Datang is still an agricultural country, if the war is protracted, such material consumption is enough to deplete Datang's national reserves, and even drag down the entire Datang economy, and then the chaos and even chaos caused by the time will ruin this emerging country.
After all, Datang has only been completely settled down for a few years, and the country is far from being as stable as imagined. Especially with the flaw of Li Shimin's killing his brother and killing his brother, it is easy to be used by careerists, and it is possible for the entire Tang Dynasty to fall apart.
Think about the Great Sui back then, several expeditions to Goguryeo, while working the people and losing money, he also wiped out his elite soldiers, which also became the fuse of the rebellion.
Therefore, it can be said that this war is not only related to the fate of ******, but also to the national fortune of Datang.
Moreover, Li Jing and other commanders have made higher requirements, not only must win this battle, but also must win beautiful and fast.
Although the ideal results have been achieved in the sand table deduction many times, it is only on paper after all.
When it comes to actual combat, the situation is changing rapidly, and it is difficult to say what kind of situation will arise, and it is difficult to predict the situation.
Moreover, the Turks are a behemoth on the steppe, dominating for a hundred years, and once made all the Central Plains forces, or overtly or covertly surrender to a powerful country.
Even after multiple disasters, now is the time when there is a shortage of forage, and the cattle are thin and the horses are weak, if we can't annihilate all the living forces in one fell swoop, so that these grassland peoples have the opportunity to recuperate, and take the strong men and horses south in the coming year, it will inevitably be another catastrophe.
Therefore, in this battle, it is necessary not only to win, but also to win a big victory, and to defeat the enemy's courage at one time. And the most important thing is to catch or kill the backbone led by Jieli Khan, and don't let this guy run away.
Otherwise, the Tang army would have to face a thorny problem in the vast northern grasslands, unable to find an opponent when it wanted to fight, and being ambushed everywhere when it didn't want to fight. And it's easy to starve, freeze and die of thirst.
Once the losses are heavy and he returns in vain, then because of the loss of labor and money, the elite is lost, Li Shimin's prestige will definitely be greatly reduced, and there will inevitably be some turmoil in Datang.
So strategy is very important, you first have to capture the location of Jieli Khan in one fell swoop, and destroy him here in one fell swoop, so that he can't run. Once he runs, you have no choice but to wait for defeat to come.
That is why, at the very beginning of the discussion of the war, Li Jing had to emphasize the role of the vanguard, and he had to fight for the vanguard candidate.
It can be said that the key to whether this war can be won lies in whether the vanguard is powerful, whether it can always grasp the position of Jieli Khan, and let several armies work together to constantly give this proud steppe lord a head-on blow.
Shi Lei and they came too early, the people and horses in the entire camp have not yet been assembled, and after reporting to the military commander, Shi Lei and they first settled in the place where they were temporarily placed.
Continuous rushing, even with their strong physique, still needs a rest process.
Only after they have recovered their peak state, they can take on their responsibilities and show the value of his deputy pioneer.
And what he saw and heard along the way has made Shi Lei's mentality change a lot.
Originally, for this battle, he just came with the idea of grabbing military merits, killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, all out of a more utilitarian idea.
The scenes that can be witnessed, the tragic situation of the border border, especially after seeing many Datang villages that have become ruins, those villagers who were brutally killed, poor women who were raped to death, and even children in the wilderness of violent corpses, all kept stabbing Shi Lei's heart.
Shi Lei felt that there was a fire, burning in his heart, burning his internal organs, and he had to use the blood of these Turks to extinguish it!
Maybe for the grassland people, this is just an indispensable grass valley, especially in recent years, the drought on the grassland has been more serious, and it is normal to grab some food from those two-legged sheep, as well as women who are used to vent ****, but Shi Lei and thousands of Datang people obviously don't see it this way.
It's a blood feud! It is an undying grudge that must be appeased by the death of the enemy!
Since these people have committed such bestiality, such inhumane bestiality that Shi Lei only saw in history textbooks, like devils entering the village, then Shi Lei will definitely not treat them as people.
How to make them die more and more painfully is what Shi Lei has been thinking about.
With a terror attack that makes the enemy's soul tremble, let them remember that when this hatred erupts, it is enough to destroy the world!
It is necessary to use the slaughter again and again to engrave this kind of awe for Datang into their bones!
In this rare rest time, Shi Lei and the others did not completely relax, and they had to pull the camp every day, and those famous warriors exchanged ideas.
Although he was holding back a fire in his heart, Shi Lei was still very measured, and he didn't really hurt these, and his comrades, who were about to fight side by side, generously shared with them the many dried meat and compressed dry food he brought.
If nothing else, these people will definitely appear, and then among the 3,000 drafts who raided Dingxiang, there is no harm in establishing a relationship in advance.
Besides, something like jerky, that is, in the Central Plains, is really on the grassland, and it won't be long before these people present will eat meat and vomit.
When the time comes, if you give them these things, they may not be able to swallow them, so it is better to take them out at this time and make friends with the people around them.
In a short period of time, Shi Lei's invincible name has spread throughout the entire camp, especially after Su Dingfang also came out and generously admitted that he was inferior to Shi Lei, no one questioned Shi Lei's vanguard position anymore.
Shi Lei, who had no one to challenge, simply wrestled with the huge brown bear he brought in front of everyone.
This scene naturally caused the surrounding soldiers to cheer wildly, and the cheers were endless. Unconsciously, Shi Lei's performance also played a role in improving the overall morale of the battalion.
Speaking of personal martial arts, does anyone on the Turkic side dare to play with Shi Lei like this? With such a fierce man as a pioneer, it is simply invincible.
Li Jing is actually paying attention to Shi Lei's performance, after all, he is the pioneer he values the most, and it is related to the key person who wins or loses.
He knows more about Su Dingfang, and he is still very relieved, but he is a little suspicious of Shi Lei.
However, Shi Lei's performance in the past few days has finally not disappointed him, even if he is only a simple fierce general, even if he does not have the ability to trace the enemy, it is not a loss to give him a position as a deputy vanguard.
After getting Li Jing's orders, Shi Lei set off with his guards non-stop.
At present, the most important thing to do is the work of scouts, determine the situation ahead, and provide a route for the army to advance.
Of course, Su Dingfang and the others are also doing similar work, but the direction of responsibility is different.
Shi Lei had been prepared for this for a long time, and even thought about how to disguise it. Before departure, Turkic clothing was prepared in the luggage.
The subordinates who knew Turkic language also followed all the people who had declined. In order to provide some convenience when carrying out such tasks.
After bringing over this trip, dozens of golden eagles and rock eagles were all released, and under the eyes of everyone, Shi Lei and his super luxurious team ran out in the direction of Dingxiang in a search formation. (To be continued.) )
