Chapter 91 Reasons for Leaving the Army

"Sleep during the day, it's so calculating!"

Zhao Pu became speechless again, Wanyan Lou's room was really not simple, and he quickly cracked his harassment war. Taking advantage of the cover of night, constantly harassing the Jin army, hitting the morale of the Jin army, constantly consuming the patience of the Jin army, constantly provoking the Jin army, when the morale of the Jin army is greatly weakened and the generals are angry, then attack again, which is the overall strategy against the Jin army.

But Wan Yan Lou was very smart, so he simply chose to sleep in the morning and march in the afternoon.

Sleeping during the day has many advantages, one of which is not being afraid of attacks.

Under the cover of night, the Song army can attack calmly, retreat calmly, and once the Jin army pursues, it can calmly annihilate the enemy, which is a sure deal. But in the daytime, attacking the Jin army, isn't that looking for death? On the accurate shooting of bows and arrows, it is inferior to the Jin army; On the mountain road, it is also on par with the Jin army, and once it is bitten by the Jin army, it is a stalemate.

Under the big war, even if the Jin army won in the end, it was a heavy loss. Today, there are only 6,000 soldiers who can fight, and there are more than 1,000 wounded soldiers.

Once the casualties are heavy and the losses are too great, he can't afford it.

Wang Yan said: "Your Highness, why don't I send an army and attack again while the Jin army is unprepared!" ”

"No, the fighter has disappeared, and it won't be cost-effective to strike again!" Zhao Pu smiled, "However, as long as the Jin Army does not retreat, we have a chance to carry out Plan No. 2!" What we have is time! ”

Zhao Pu's mood is very calm, there is no better battle in the world than at this moment, there is no need to protect the people, there is no need to defend the city, and there is no need to face the charge of the Jin Army's iron cavalry, grasp the initiative of the war, fight if you win, don't fight if you can't win, when you want to fight, you can fight with yourself, and fight with yourself wherever you want.

It is a small force again, attacking from multiple directions, and even if it loses, it will not lose much.

Before, during the Battle of Yehuling, a large number of grains and weapons were captured, and there was no need to worry about the insufficient supply of grain and grass, so they were hiding in the primeval forest of Taihang Mountain. At the beginning of the war, Wan Yan Lou lost the room. As long as he didn't make a fatal mistake, even if Wanyan Lou Room was the reincarnation of Sun Wu, Bai Qi couldn't help him.

What a happy war, a happy moment.

The content of Plan No. 1 is to attack and harass and hit the morale of the Jin army.

The content of Plan 2 is mainly based on siege.

There is a lot of understanding of the siege, the siege in terms of forces, the siege in terms of strategy, and the siege in terms of local superiority. The point of the siege is not on our army, which is more than the enemy's army, but on the timing of the victory.

In the first siege of Bianliang, the Jin army only had 70,000 soldiers and horses, but there were 200,000 Bianliang forbidden troops in the city, and there were 100,000 young and strong people who were temporarily recruited, plus more than 200,000 Shaanxi troops came to help, and the Bianliang defenders in the city could be called 500,000. An army of 500,000 is not exaggerated at all, it is indeed 500,000.

The 500,000 Song army was besieged by the 70,000 Jin army and was difficult to mobilize. It seems funny, and it seems that Li Gang is incompetent, but in fact, this is a normal event.

In the era of cold weapons, the most important thing is to fight a battle, and field battles are often to set down a formation and stand firm in order to fight with the enemy. However, the formation is not stable, it is in a state of disarray, and it is very dangerous to be attacked by the enemy, and it is very likely that the formation will be completely dispersed, and the whole army will be defeated. Like what; In the Battle of Weishui, the 800,000 troops of the Former Qin faced off against the 70,000 troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It's just that Fu Jian is too proud, delusional about attacking half-crossing, thinking that the enemy is a fool, and he is the smartest. Fu Jian retreated the army without authorization, which led to an unstable formation, coupled with some people shouting that the Qin army was defeated, the 800,000-strong army was too bloated, and lacked the combat command ability of the large corps, and there was no radio to control the whole army, coupled with the strong surprise attack of the Beifu soldiers, and so on. The superposition of various factors caused the formation of the 800,000-strong army to completely turn into a pot of porridge. It is more dangerous for an army of 800,000 to become a pot of porridge than for an army of 80,000 to become a pot of porridge, and the army will lose faster. The former Qin was defeated and defeated in the chaos of the formation.

Similarly, in the Great Battle of Song and Jin, the Song army had to resist the iron cavalry of the Jin army, but the only way to resist was to form an infantry formation and resist layer by layer; If the Jin army wants to defeat the Song army, the only way to break through the Song army formation is to break through the Song army's formation. One defends the formation, the other breaks the formation, whoever wins first will win. In the siege of Bianliang, the city wall of Bianliang was very wide, and the Song army had to use most of its troops to defend the city, and the number of troops to fight was limited. If you want to attack, if you have fewer troops, you will deliver food, and if you have more troops, you will be risky. Even later, when the Shaanxi army came to the rescue, they did not dare to go out of the city to fight. In the field, the infantry formation had to be placed, but the city gate was narrow, and the Song army had only a limited number of soldiers who walked out of the city gate at one time, and it would take a certain amount of time to arrange the infantry formation. During this time, the iron cavalry of the Jin army may rush and completely disperse the infantry formation that has not yet been arranged.

Relying on the rapid dispatch of the cavalry and the powerful impact force, the Song army was simply unable to be under the city gate, or did not have the courage to set up a formation. It's hard to set up a formation, and what kind of field battles are fought. To besiege more and less, this is a way of besieging; The cavalry besieged the infantry, which was also a way of siege; And cutting off food and water is also a way of siege.

As long as it was an area where the Jin army was encamped, all the water sources within a radius of twenty miles were poisoned and difficult to drink; As long as it is on the route of the Jin Army, all kinds of obstacles and small traps are set up; Soldiers who constantly attacked the Jin army to get water. In short, make the Jin army uncomfortable, and let the Jin army suffer from drinking water.

It's June, it's hot, dry, and water-intensive, and water is in some ways more important than food.

A day without a meal, it is bearable; But if you don't drink water for a day, it's unbearable. If you don't eat for two days, you won't starve; But if you don't drink water for two days, you will be sick if you don't die.

With his familiarity with this mountain range, Zhao Pu took action in advance to cut off the water source.

………………

Five days passed.

After the afternoon march, the marching speed of the whole army decreased, but the situation of the Jin army was much better. Even if there was an occasional night attack by the Song army, it was harmless. Jin Jun, who had rested enough during the day, had enough energy, and was more energetic than a cat at night, and Song Jun's night harassment could no longer be shaken, but in the night attack, he suffered some small losses.

It's just that the old trouble has just been solved, and a new problem has arisen -- the difficulty of drinking water.

In June, it is the rainy season, and there is a lot of rain, so there will be no shortage of water. Mountain springs, mountains, rivers, etc., generally do not suffer from water shortage, but under Zhao Pu's water cut-off meter, those water sources are polluted, either poisoned, or filthy, difficult to drink, and can also be cooked.

More than 10,000 people, plus the war horses to drink, the amount of water needed is amazing. Due to the cut off of the water source, the gang had to go more than ten miles away and travel hard to pull water, which was not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also often attacked by the Song army.

Hundreds of pack horses were taken and hundreds of men were killed because of the problem of drinking water.

The Jin army actually had a drinking water tribulation.

"What a guy who doesn't play cards according to common sense!" Wanyan Lou Room has a feeling of weakness. Cutting off the water source is not a clever strategy, almost all the generals know it, but the generals of the Song Dynasty mostly advocate upright wars, conference battles, despise and despise those sideways, and disdain to use them.

However, the generals of the Bazi Army used the water cut meter, which did not seek to annihilate the Song army, but was mainly harassed, angering the officers and men in the army, constantly hitting the morale of the whole army, making the whole army impatient and angry, as long as the anger reached the extreme, it would lose its mind and lose its composure, and then the opportunity would come.

"Wang Yan is not simple! I don't want to annihilate our army, I just want to bite down on the meat, eat part of it step by step, and erode step by step, until in the end there is no longer a trace of resistance! Wan Yan Lou sighed again.

Most of the generals of the Song army were nothing more than two kinds of combat thinking, one was to fear the enemy like a tiger and fear the Jin army, and they often retreated without a fight and fled without a fight; There is also a contempt for the Jin army, often trying to wipe out thousands, or even tens of thousands, of the Jurchen army in one battle, and become famous in one fell swoop.

The former is afraid of war, the latter is arrogant and ignorant;

The former lacks courage, the latter is blind and arrogant;

The former did not recognize the enemy; The latter is a failure to recognize oneself;

The former is a capitulation faction, and the latter is a quick victory.

Both of these enemies are very easy to deal with, and against the former, as long as intimidation is necessary, as long as inducement is enough, and they will soon surrender; It is enough for the latter to destroy his body as long as he keeps fighting, and the dead cannot do it.

However, this eight-character army is completely different from these two types of Song army. The eight-character army is neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither afraid of the enemy, nor arrogant and ignorant; Neither cowardice nor fearlessness in battle; is not afraid of the strength of the Jin army, and does not fantasize about defeating the Jin army in a war. It is like an old and spicy hunter, constantly waiting for the opportunity, constantly angering the prey, and constantly eating the prey bite by bite.

It will not pursue the elimination of tens of thousands of gold troops in World War I, but will continue to encroach on the gold army, destroying hundreds today and hundreds tomorrow.

"It's time to retire, even if I solve the water problem, he will give me new difficulties!"

Wan Yan Lou took out a letter in his arms and completely made up his mind to retreat.
