Chapter 90: Rest during the day

Zhao Pu waited a little restlessly, sleepless all night, and his eyes were a little sleepy. But looking at the Jin army camp in the distance, I was constantly worried.

"Your Highness, they're back!" At this time, Zhao Da stepped forward and brought back the good news.

Zhao Pu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "How many come back?" ”

"All twenty people have returned, but three have been slightly injured!"

"It's good to be back!" Zhao Pu completely let go of his heart in his heart, "It's easy to get priceless treasures, but it's hard to find eagle sharps." ”

Soon after, Li Quan and twenty others knelt on one knee and reported: "Lord Wang, live up to your mission." Twenty people killed hundreds of middle and low-level officers in the Jin Army! ”

Hundreds, just an approximate number, specifically more than ninety, one hundred and twenty thirty, or more. Li Quan and the others are also vague, after all, assassination in the army of ten thousand is extremely risky, one careless may all be killed, it is false to say that they are not nervous. Who is still in the mood, count how many specifically.

This night was extremely thrilling, and even they didn't expect that they could kill hundreds of low-level officers of the Golden Soldiers.

"Your Highness, this is the number plate!" Li Quan took out a cloth bag from his waist, which contained a number plate that killed a low-ranking officer of the Jin Army. In the Jin Army, there is a strict hierarchy setting, different generals number plates, which are a symbol of status, but also the physical evidence of the killing of the Jin Army generals, but it is a pity that most of them are illiterate, and the words written on these plates are not recognized.

As a result, Zhao Pu handed over the cloth bag to the clerk on the side.

"Very good, from today onwards, the twenty of you will form an independent army, called the Snow Wolf Special Operations Brigade, which will be responsible for special operations. Every soldier enjoys the rank of squad leader, and there is also a captain and a deputy captain, all of whom enjoy the rank of captain. Zhao Pu said, "This special brigade is not subordinate to any battalion, it is directly subordinate to me and under my command. Independently form an army, fight independently, train independently! ”

Li Quan and the others immediately showed joy on their faces, and their eyes flashed with excitement and gratitude.

Wang Yan and the others immediately frowned, what is the Special Operations Brigade? They didn't know, but there were twenty of them.

And Zhao Da on the side reminded: "Lord Wang, I don't know what the special brigade does!" ”

"The special brigade is used to carry out special tasks, if the normal army pays attention to the dispatch of large armies, tens of thousands of horses rush to kill, like a strange knife; The special brigade is a hidden weapon, small and chic, not noticeable, but once it is shot, it will be killed instantly. The special brigade will no longer appear on the regular battlefield and tens of thousands of people rushing to kill, but will smear a knife in the enemy's weak link! ”

As he spoke, Zhao Pu began to talk about the idea of special operations in a scattered manner.

…………

And the drums died down, and the last night attack of the night was completely gone.

When the first rays of the morning light hit the earth, Wanyan Lou Room felt a burst of relief, and this tossing night was finally over. He would rather fight with more than 100,000 Song troops than fight with the Bazi army, which was only a few thousand people, on the grounds that the Bazi army was too difficult.

Fighting with hundreds of thousands of Song troops, he could grasp the initiative of the war at any time, relying on the fast speed of the cavalry, he could fight if he could fight, and run if he couldn't, looking for the enemy's flaws in the constant movement, and then giving a fatal blow. But the eight-character army is elusive, there is no shadow at all, the scout can't find any traces, Hai Dongqing can't find traces, he shot at the moment of exhaustion, and came with a dull stick at the moment of rest.

Tigers can eat bulls, but they can't catch mice.

"It's tasteless to eat, it's a pity to abandon it, it's time to retire, but what is the reason for quitting?" After Yan Lou's room was entangled, he couldn't think of the best reason to withdraw for a while. Withdrawing without a suitable reason seriously affects the prestige of the manager.

"Deputy Marshal, something is wrong! Nearly 100 low-level generals such as Wu Chang and Shi Chang were killed in the dark night! At this time, a shocking news came.

According to the Jin military system, the military power of the Jin Dynasty was also directly controlled by the emperor. It was set up under the capital, which was later changed to the Marshal's Office, the Privy Council, etc., to assist the emperor in commanding the whole army. During the war, the prince was appointed to lead the troops to the battle, called the capital marshal, the left and right deputy marshals, etc., and the power and responsibility were extremely heavy, but they were temporarily set up, not fixed positions. The border military agencies include the Recruitment Division, the Military Command Division, and so on. The establishment of the Jin Army, at the beginning, was combined with social organizations, and was mainly compiled as "Meng'an" and "Mouke", generally with about 100 households as one "Mouke" and about 1,000 households as one "Meng'an". "Meng'an" is under the command of Wanhu Mansion, and there are also 50, 10, and Wu organizations under "Moke". The recruitment and transfer of soldiers, 1 regular army, with 1 deputy army, the deputy army can be supplemented in wartime. Soldiers are hereditary and can be replaced by children, but they cannot be used as slaves.

It can be said that the military system of the Jin army at this moment is relatively chaotic, in addition to inheriting the original military system of the Jurchens, it also inherited the military system of the Liao State. Meng'an is equivalent to 1,000 households, and Mouke is equivalent to 100 households, and the military appointments under Mouke are often very arbitrary, and most of them are decided by Mouke. Meng'an, Mouke, etc. belong to middle and high-ranking officers, while below Mouke, they belong to low-level officers.

The officers under Mok are themselves cannon fodder, and they die on the battlefield, no one cares, and no one remembers the name.

It can be said that as long as it is not a dead Mouke, his subordinates rarely alarm him. However, there were too many Wu Chang and the like who died at this time, one hundred and thirty-five people died, and the number was too many, and it was difficult to hide it if they wanted to.

Wanyan Lou Room suddenly couldn't slow down, "What's going on, it can't be Ying Xiao!" ”

When marching and fighting, the most feared thing is the roar of the camp. Those who serve as soldiers live in fear, and the mental depression after years can be imagined. On weekdays, it is all about military discipline suppression, especially on the eve of the war, everyone's life and death are uncertain, I don't know if I can come back alive tomorrow, everyone is on the verge of a mental breakdown, at this time, as long as there is a little wind and grass, it may be just a soldier's nightmare scream, which can detonate the hysterical crazy atmosphere in the camp, the soldier completely gets rid of the shackles of military discipline, some people copy the guy to take revenge and revenge, chase and kill officers, enemies, and comrades who don't know, and only leave a corpse in one place the next day, which is very terrifying.

"No, it's that the elite of the enemy army reached into the barracks last night and took the opportunity to strike! The wounded soldiers all died of broken neck bones, and the wounds were exactly the same! ”

"Damn, I'm going to kill him and take off his head to make a ball!" Wan Yan Lou was furious, and threw the silver bowl on the table on the ground with a flick of his hand. Fortunately, the silver bowl on the ground was very strong, and it fell to the ground and spun around a few times, and it was not deformed at all.

After smashing the silver bowl, Wan Yan Lou's mood calmed down, and he frowned and said, "I won't go out of the army today, I didn't get a good night's sleep yesterday by the eight-character army, I slept and rested this morning, and marched in the afternoon!" The days are getting longer, the nights are getting shorter, it's time to make some time to rest! ”

During the day, he should have marched, or fought, or done other things, but he rarely did one thing, and that was sleeping. An inch of time is an inch of gold, and it is difficult to buy an inch of time. Time in many moments, refers to the time of the day, after all, at night it is dark, more often it is rest, candles, kerosene, torches, etc., in this era, are extremely expensive, except for a very few wealthy families, few people use. Even if it is used by those wealthy families, they try to save as much as possible.

Working during the day and resting at night, this is the most typical work and rest time in the era of agricultural civilization, and it is also the work and rest time of the Great Song Dynasty.

Sleeping during the day is a crime and is condemned by the doctors. It is said that one of Confucius's disciples slept during the day, but was scolded by Confucius that rotten wood should not be carved and dung should not be stained before.

After Yan Lou's room announced this order, the soldiers were first surprised, and then cheered, most of the people who were tossed by the Song army last night were poor sleep, plus some of the death of the army commanders, even chiefs and others, they were already panicked, and they couldn't live in fear. The morale of the army is floating.

But with this order from Yan Lou's room, the officers and men of the whole army immediately cheered, grateful for the thoughtfulness of the deputy marshal.

Then the change of guards, the rest of the people rested, the sentry posts were strengthened a lot, and at the same time, nearly a thousand cavalry of the Jin army were waiting leisurely, bows out of the strings, knives out of sheaths, waiting for the appearance of the Song army at any time.

Li Ye praised Jin Bing, the so-called "man is like a tiger, a horse is like a dragon, an ape is like an ape when he goes up the mountain, he is like an otter when he enters the water, his momentum is like Mount Tai, and China is like a tired egg." It means that the Jin army is very strong in combat, fighting like a tiger on foot, a dragon in cavalry, an ape in mountain combat, and an otter in water combat.

So it was called "six things like giving things", and the result was that he was scolded for fearing the enemy like a tiger, and his reputation was so bad that it was on the street. In fact, what he said was a bit exaggerated, but it also reflected the strong combat effectiveness of the Jin Army, which had excellent performance in foot combat, cavalry warfare, mountain warfare, and water warfare.

Of course, the odds of winning vary greatly from battlefield to battlefield. Nine wins and one defeat in cavalry battles, six wins and four defeats in infantry battles, five or five in mountain battles, and three wins and seven defeats in water battles. From the Jurchens who were born in the white mountains and black waters, they inevitably went to the deep mountains to collect ginseng, catch Haidongqing, catch wild martens, etc., and often walked like flying, which was not inferior to Wang Ping's Wudang Flying Army in the Three Kingdoms era.

The Jurchens are no strangers to mountain warfare, and they can even be said to be extremely familiar.

In mountain warfare, the Jurchen army also defeated the Song army many times. However, there is no escaping the fact that victory in mountain warfare is far from being comparable to victory in Jurchen cavalry warfare, or even much inferior.

Even so, Wanyan Lou Room is also extremely confident.

At night, relying on the cover of the night, Jin Jun suffered a lot of losses. But if it was bright today, the sun emitted a bright light, and without the cover of night, the Song army could no longer attack like last night. As long as the Song army appeared, relying on the accurate shooting of the Jurchens, it was enough to make the Bazi Army pay a heavy price.

The Jurchens are less than 10,000, and they are invincible.

This is not only in cavalry combat, but even in mountain warfare, Wanyan Lou Room is also extremely confident.
