Chapter 124: Surprise
To fight an attack war is to fight an intelligence war, and to fight an infiltration war well is to fight an attack war. Intelligence warfare is a prerequisite for this, while infiltration warfare is the fundamental guarantee. The two are indispensable and complement each other. However, the reconnaissance system of the Krup army is still in the relatively primitive stage of scouting and scouting horses, and can only obtain the most basic information, and it is difficult to be competent for this task of infiltrating the enemy's rear to complete the task of intelligence gathering by understanding the enemy's movements and penetrating into the enemy's rear.
"Hmph, if you have a fart, you can let it go, and if you hold it, you won't be afraid of a stomachache, don't you just want to dig some corners from the loyal soldiers!" Obedient and obedient, although Zhao Yong said it implicitly, Zhao Ta also understood the meaning of his words, "I have already ordered a detachment of the Intelligence Support Squadron of the Guards Battalion and the Military Intelligence Department of the Loyal Army to enter Xijing to provide you with intelligence support, so rest assured!" ”
"The boss still feels sorry for me, and he knows what I want!" Zhao Yong said with a hippie smile, but he was very grateful in his heart, the prince had almost soaked in himself this year, otherwise he would have to die of worry, let alone fight this situation.
"I will naturally help you if I can help you, but I can't always stay here, things still need to be done by you, although the loyal army and the Kryu army are divided into two parts, but you are still brothers, just temporarily separated, sooner or later one day you will be united, even if I am gone, you have difficulties, they will not sit idly by!" Zhao said.
"We all understand that our two brothers are born to the same mother, although they are separated, they are still brothers, and it is difficult to distinguish each other, but the mother can't be eccentric!" Zhao Yong said 'solemnly', and his serious appearance caused everyone to laugh.
"Damn, you've learned to turn around and curse. Isn't the skin itchy again? Zhao Ta couldn't put up a shelf for them to put on the prince's face, but he preferred this kind of intimate atmosphere between brothers.
"Brothers. After today, we are going to go desperately, how about letting the boss treat us? "Words to the prince. Zhao Yong didn't care, but coaxed, his proposal was naturally welcomed by everyone, and it was unanimously agreed that the prince would personally cook a big meal for everyone...
Two days later, the information came back that Aguta had already arrived in Yuanzhou, and the battalion stayed behind as their old opponent Wanyan Pu slave, commanding 5,000 soldiers to watch the house, and Zhao Ta decided to attack. In order to ensure a surprise attack, he chose the time of the attack at dawn. Then they will march 200 miles overnight to Baishuiluo.
This campaign consisted of a series of small battles, and in order to form a local superiority in troops, and the suddenness of the battle, it was necessary to maintain the good mobility of the troops. The so-called mobility is flexibility and speed, and speed is exchanged for space, and speed is used to bring victory. That is to say, we often say, 'come like falling from the sky, go like lightning', so that the opponent is unable to guard against it.
It was still the standard of one man and two horses, and each person carried all the necessary combat goods and household items on the horse's back. Each person carried ten days' worth of jerky, dry food and five catties of cheese, and in particular, each person was given a pot of wine to keep out the cold. Cheese is something that people in the Central Plains are not used to, but it is a good thing that can provide sufficient calories. Especially in this cold winter, after coming to the northwest, Zhao added cheese to the recipe. If you don't eat it, you have to eat.
In order to keep the battle light, the baggage team did not carry grain and grass baggage. They even abandoned carts and switched to pack horses. Because they wanted to hide their tracks and leave no traces of cooking on a fire, they did not provide hot food, but only carried medicine and ammunition and a day's emergency dry rations to keep up with the rapid march. The only way to improve one's life is to hunt and steal from the enemy.
Before setting out, the various ministries once again emphasized military discipline, because the source of the Krüper army is complex, not only geographically different, but also ethnic differences, which is easy to form estrangement, and this phenomenon has become more prominent after the expansion of the army. This required them to be tightly bound together with strict military discipline in order to bring out the power of the group and weapons.
Therefore, the Krüptan army has one more rule than the loyal army, stipulating that the enemy is killed on the spot, and each fighting collective is not allowed to leave its own members, and when one or several people in the collective are attacking, others are not allowed to retreat, and must meet and attack together. When a person is in danger or captured, others must be rescued with all their might, and those who escape without regard for their comrades are shot with strict military discipline......
At the time of the third watch, the Kryu army marched 150 miles in one night, stopped at a reed beach ten miles away from the Jin army camp, sent scouts to confirm the direction, clear the enemy rangers, reconnoiter the enemy's garrison, dismount and rest, restore horsepower, check equipment, and make pre-battle preparations.
In October, the weather became colder and colder, the exhaled heat condensed into frost on the hat and eyebrows, and the face of the human was invisible, and the sweat on the horse's body formed strings of ice on the abdomen. Zhao Ta jumped off the horse and stomped lightly twice, his feet that were almost unconscious from the cold tingled, and Wangfu hurriedly stepped forward to carry the prince into the reeds, where a clearing had been cleared, and the reeds more than one person high blocked the howling cold wind, making people feel warmer.
After a short period of effort, Zhao Yong brought a few staff members to touch it, and Wangfu commanded a few guards to set up a certain simple tent with a cloth curtain and light a horse lantern, and this became a forward command post.
"Are there any attritions on the way?" Zhao Ta asked as he chewed the jerky in his mouth.
"No, all the departments have arrived!" Zhao Yong also reached out and took out a piece of dry food from the dry food bag beside the prince, stuffed it into his mouth and replied.
"Well, what's going on?" Zhao Ta pushed the bag of dry food forward and motioned for everyone to eat together.
"The first batch of scouts sent have returned, there is no abnormality around, maybe because we are behind the front line, Ah Guta is gone again, and the garrison is not strict, besides, who would have thought that we would come here by surprise to sneak attack!" Zhao Yong said with a chuckle.
"Don't be careless, although Wanyan Pu Jianu has suffered several losses from us, he is still a fierce general, we must be cautious and pay attention to the trap traps they laid in front of the village, so as to avoid causing big losses just after it is launched!" Zhao Ta said uneasily.
"Don't worry, the Jurchen camp is very sloppy, they use felt cars as the camp and the hard village as the palace, just like our gun village, it is easy to be destroyed!" Zhao Yong said.
"You just have the bottom in your heart, remember that after entering the camp, we don't want things like a chariot honor guard, we have to keep some of the handsome flag and seal letters, and since there are definitely good things in the emperor's camp, they can't be destroyed, I have actually put money on you in the past two years, and this time it's time to go back to the book!" Zhao Ta said 'seriously'.
"Don't worry, I'll take people to the royal tent of Ah Guda personally, and the good things can't be destroyed, so I'll keep them for you for money!" Zhao Yong said that the prince of Dark Music in his heart always settles accounts and does not make loss-making transactions, which may be the way to win every time... (To be continued.) )
