Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Although the number of rebels has reached more than 50,000 after the rapid expansion, only two or three thousand people really have combat effectiveness, and the rest can be said to be a rabble, lacking both combat skills and experience, as well as weapons and equipment, and are vulnerable. Li Fengyun's crowd tactics were actually to maximize the advantage of the large number of rebels and make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
Although the officers and troops were very strong in combat, they had limited numbers, and these limited troops had to not only suppress large and small towns and defend the Tongji Canal and waterways, which were hundreds of miles long, but also ensure the safety of Gyeonggi.
Li Fengyun's battle of 100 regiments is to attack the enemy's shortcomings with his own strengths. Just imagine, when more than 200 regiments of the Righteous Army, as well as hundreds of thousands or even millions of Henan disaster victims who followed the Righteous Army, were in full swing on the front line of the Tongji Canal centered on Junyi, Chenliu and Yongqiu, what would the officers and troops do? If you take the initiative to attack, you must find the main force of the righteous army for a decisive battle, but the righteous army must avoid fighting, the official army cannot find an opponent, and there is nowhere to use force, and it can not kill the unarmed victims, and it cannot always look for an opponent outside the city, ignoring the safety of the city and the safety of the waterway, so it has to be passively defended, and passive defense is equivalent to allowing the righteous army to plunder the Tongji Canal, that is, inaction, and the responsibility is greater. The officers and soldiers were in a dilemma, and in the end they could only play a game of "cat and mouse" with the rebels, and whether they could win the final victory depended on whether the Eastern Capital sent troops to support.
So, will the Eastern Capital send troops to support? The answer is yes, Li Fengyun has already analyzed it from the political level, and Yang Lan, the king of Qi, will definitely take action to fight the chaos. The next question is, when will the Eastern Capital send troops? The mystery in this is great. The timing of the Eastern Capital's dispatch of troops was not only related to the vital interests of Yang Lan, the king of Qi, but also closely related to the expansion of the Rebel Alliance.
"The Eastern Capital will not send troops for the time being." Li Fengyun's tone was very affirmative, "We have enough time to loot the Tongji Canal and strengthen ourselves." ”
"Why is Ming Gong so sure?" Huo Xiaohan immediately asked.
"Qi King Yang Lan needs a record, and the stronger the opponent and the worse the shape, the greater the record he will get." Li Fengyun explained, "Secondly, if the opponent of Qi King Yang Lan wants to use this opportunity to completely destroy him, they must give us a longer time, we are expanded, strengthened, and strengthened, and they can use our sharp knife to kill Qi King Yang Lan." ”
"From the Tongjiqu battlefield, our main opponents are only two, Xingyang and Liangjun. Jiyin has fallen, and Dongjun has not only suffered from continuous disasters and suffered great damage to its vitality, but also has to take into account the safety of the large rivers and waterways, so the threat to us is very limited. Xingyang occupies the advantage of the Tianji Pass, and it is difficult for us to break through the Tianji Pass, so the Tongji Canal waterway in its territory is very safe, since the Tongji Canal Waterway is safe, then Xingyang of course has to hold the Gyeonggi gateway with limited troops to ensure the safety of Gyeonggi. Liang County is outside the defense of Gyeonggi Pass, if the shape of Liang County deteriorates and the waterway of Tongji Canal is interrupted, it will inevitably threaten the security of Gyeonggi, and at that time, not only Xingyang will have to send troops to support, but Dongdu will also have to send troops, so as long as we plunder the Tongji Canal at the same time, ensure the smooth flow of the Tongji Canal, then we will definitely have only one opponent in the short term. ”
"Although Liang County has four Yingyang Mansions, but the Tongji Canal waterway guarded by the garrison is more than 500 miles long, and we only attack the northern section of it, it is not difficult to speculate that it is impossible for Liang County to transfer all the troops of the four Yingyang Mansions to the north to deal with us, at most it is to deploy three Yingyang Mansions, that is, Chenliu, Xiangyi and Songcheng Yingyang Mansions. There were 12 regiments and 2,400 guards in these three Yingyang Mansions, and the waterways they guarded were 400 miles long, and there were seven cities on both sides of the 400 miles of waterways, including Fusong City. Under normal circumstances, this force must be more than enough, but today their opponents not only have more than 200 regiments of our alliance soldiers, but also hundreds of thousands or even millions of Henan disaster victims, and their troops are strictly insufficient. Li Fengyun waved his arm when he said this, "To put it mildly, we can drown them alive if we spit on a single mouthful." ”
Everyone laughed, full of confidence in the next battle of Tongji Canal. If the battle situation is as predicted by Li Fengyun, then in the short term, the alliance's opponents are only the three Yingyang Mansions in Liang County, and now the alliance has more than 200 regiments of troops, and there are countless Henan disaster victims who have spared no effort to help the alliance, and they have an absolute advantage in numbers
Everyone gathered in front of the map, offered suggestions, spoke freely, and did their best to completely use the alliance's numerical advantage with the help of various tactics, so as to truly pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses, and strive to strengthen themselves in the shortest possible time. As long as you have the strength, everything is possible.
The next day, Zhen Baoche took the Xuanfeng army to take the lead in crossing Jishui, went south into Liang County, and directly killed Tongji Canal.
Then Li Fengyun led seven reserve armies of about 5,000 soldiers to cross the river into Liang County and advance to the front line of Chenliu and Yongqiu.
Yuan An and Xiao Yi commanded the camp guards, craftsmen, and people to fight day and night, and built more than a dozen temporary pontoon bridges on the Jishui River to help the victims of the Henan disaster cross the river to the south.
At the same time that the victims of the disaster in Henan rushed to the Tongji Canal like a flood, Han Jinluo, Meng Haigong and other six commanders each led their own troops, entered Liang County from the line of Waihuang and Kaocheng, and quickly advanced to Yongqiu, Xiangyi, and Ningling, and approached Songcheng, the capital of Liang County.
The situation in Liang County has taken a sharp turn for the worse, the safety of Tongji Canal is in jeopardy, and Junyi City, an important defense town in Gyeonggi Tianqian Pass, has entered a state of imminent battle.
When Fei Yao's boat arrived at Junyi, it was already dusk, and the deep twilight shrouded the sky over this thousand-year-old city, giving people a sense of infinite desolation.
The supreme commander of the Gyeonggi Customs Eastern Defense Zone, Choi Baodeok, the governor of Xingyang, personally rushed to the wharf outside the city to meet Fei Yao.
The military post of Governor of Xingyang is a product of the deepening of the reform of centralized power.
After his accession to the throne, he accelerated the pace of centralization and first carried out the reform of administrative divisions. During the period of the first emperor, it was a two-level administrative system of states and counties, and the states were relatively large, and the power of assassinating history was also great, and they were in charge of the military and political power of a state. Today, it has been changed to a two-level administrative system of counties and counties, and its focus is to change the prefecture into a county, and divide a prefecture into several counties. The purpose of this reform was to further weaken the power of the local chiefs, and the central government not only took back some of their administrative powers, but also directly stripped them of their military powers.
The military power of the state of this dynasty has its historical origins.
The army of Middle-earth has always been composed of the central army and the local army, during the period of unification, the central army was strong, and in the era of division and war, the local army was strong, the warlords were divided, and the heroes were fighting. In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwentai established the government military system, and the Weifu army, as the central army, grew rapidly in the war of unification of China and Earth. After the unification, this system matured, and in addition to further improving the military system and strengthening the strength of the Weifu army, the military reform of the first emperor also had an important purpose of demilitarizing the Shandong region, especially the north and south of the Great River, so as to curb the threat of the Shandong people to the emerging dynasty to the greatest extent. However, the area of Middle-earth is too large, there are too many strategic places, and the northern captives in the northwest are too strong, coupled with the fact that the unification has just been reunified, and the political, economic and military systems must be adjusted in an all-round way, and there are too many things to do, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight, so it can only be done slowly, and the central government army alone cannot protect Middle-earth, so the governor's office is set up, and the governor controls the military and political power of a region, or the state assassin controls the military and political power of a state, and the huge number of local armies is used as a supplement to the military strength of Middle-earth.
Before his accession to the throne, there were still thirty-six governorships in Middle-earth, mainly concentrated in the border areas of the northwest, and there were even more states with military power. After ascending the throne, he immediately reformed the military system, first abolished the governor's office, and assigned all the troops originally subordinate to the governor's office to the twelve guards, unified under the command of the central government, and the most basic military unit in the country was the Yingyang Mansion. The second is to use the reform of the administrative system to directly deprive the assassin of the military power.
At this time, there was a problem, the whole ** team was subordinate to the Twelve Guards, and they all became the Central Army, and the power of the Twelve Guards was too great, in addition, the Middle Earth was too big, and the information transmission was inconvenient, and it was simply impractical for the central government to directly command the Guards Army thousands or even thousands of miles away. It is true that military power needs to be centralized, but unrestricted concentration will certainly lead to disadvantages. So the central government came up with another plan, that is, to set up the Governor's Mansion in a strategic place, and the army in the strategic place was commanded by the Governor's Mansion, that is, part of the army originally commanded by the Governor's Mansion was handed over to the Governor's Mansion, and the military power originally controlled by the Prefecture Assassin was handed over to the supreme governor of the Governor's Mansion, and the highest governor of the Governor's Mansion directly obeyed the orders of the central government and the emperor.
Xingyang is a strategic place, the Xingyang Governor's Mansion commands the four Yingyang Mansions in Xingyang, and the Xingyang Governors can directly command them, but these four Yingyang Mansions are subordinate to the Wei Mansion in terms of establishment, and the Wei Mansion can also command them, which forms a dual leadership, and contradictions are inevitable. However, the generals, generals, Wu Benlang generals, and Wu Yalang generals of the Twelve Wei Mansions do not command the army in peacetime, and only in wartime, according to the emperor's authorization, can they be qualified to lead the army in battle, or be ordered to suppress the frontier, so under normal circumstances, there is no conflict between the Wei Mansion and the Du Wei Mansion in terms of authority.
However, this time, the conflict was inevitable, and Wu Benlang hurried Fei Yao to Junyi in order to seize the command of the four Yingyang Mansions in Xingyang with Cui Baode, the governor of Xingyang.
