Volume 11 Zhang Gongbei Looks at the Sky Wolf Chapter 984 Tactics (Continue to Ask for a Monthly Pass)
Of course, what Mu Huali said is also the common combat method used by the Mongols, and the barbarian tribe may be different, but it should be very limited......
The war and fighting on the grassland, in Mu Huali's view, is very simple and crude, not as complicated as the Han army fighting, and there are not as many tricks as the war strategy in the national military supervision book.
In many cases, the course of the war is similar, the two divisions begin to fight each other, or get closer and closer, and begin to fight for the pasture, and then the two divisions send warriors, find each other, and start a fight, the defeated side flees, and the victorious side chases until the enemy is all killed or swallowed, of course, more often the other side is expelled.
The war of feuds between the Mongols and the tribes of the Murbegs and the Tatars is more complicated, but it is almost the same, when the enemy is strong, he will eat away at your steppe, come and plunder every year, kill your warriors, take away your people, cattle and sheep.
And when the Mongols are strong, the same will be the case, and like that, face to face, killing rivers of blood, a battle is rare in the steppe, if there is such a scene, the soldiers of both sides charge face to face, it can only mean that one of the sides has the certainty of victory, or both sides have the confidence to win, will start such a decisive battle.
Otherwise, even if the other party's main account is located, it is not possible to take the lives and blood of the warriors to win the fruits of victory, because the tribes that are defeated by both sides will soon disappear into the steppe and become the slaves of others, and for the Mongol tribes, the warrior is the most valuable treasure.
When he was in the Mongol tribes. Having experienced many vendettas and rivalries between tribes, the Mongol warriors gave him the impression he had. That's it, like wolves in the snowfield, fierce and bloodthirsty, but extremely intelligent.
He hadn't heard what would happen if the Hu people and the Han people fought, but according to his understanding of both sides, the smartest thing about the marshal's northern expedition to the grassland this time was that he didn't bring too many infantry, otherwise. He believed that according to the way the Mongol warriors fought, the infantry would be the main target of their attacks.
That would not only contain the cavalry headquarters of the Qin army, but also weaken the strength of the Qin army, and the clumsy grain and grass baggage team would become the fatal weakness of the Qin army.
The handsome man is really wise, while telling his opinion. Praise in my heart.
Of course, in his opinion, the advantages and disadvantages of the Qin army, which are all cavalry troops, are also very obvious, and if the decisive battle against the grassland cavalry starts soon, the Qin army will have a great chance of winning. And if it is delayed, the chances of the Qin army will be lower and lower, and the time and place are favorable, and it is likely that they will all leave the Qin army.
So he meant that the sooner the decisive battle, the better. Find the opponent's army and rush forward. It's as simple as that, no matter how many enemies there are, he believes that the Qin army, which has been in battle for a long time, tempered with blood and corpses, restrained by strict military discipline, and equipped with sophisticated armor, swords, and arrows, will be invincible in a frontal decisive battle when the morale is strong and energetic, and the 25,000 Qin soldiers are enough to 100,000 barbarian cavalry......
But Wang Shengbao, another Zhao Shi's confidant who seemed to be different from him in status and had a friendship with him, did not agree very much, he felt, of course, not completely disagree with Mu Huali's proposition, but had different opinions on strategy.
He thought that it was a taboo for soldiers to attack far away, and more than 20,000 soldiers of the Qin army, running back and forth like the Hu people, would make the soldiers tired and demoralized, and it was possible that before the decisive battle, they would lose a few chances of winning.
It's better to sit and wait for the enemy to come to the door, and wait for work, isn't the envoy of the Naiban tribe coming, and the scouts of the Naiban tribe are also cruising around, right here, waiting for them to come, use this place as a battlefield, and defeat the arrogance of the barbarians in a battle.
Mu Huali argued that what if the barbarians did not fight us in a decisive battle, but threw themselves into the clouds outside the clouds, in that case, the Tatars would suffer heavy losses.
Wang Shengbao said indifferently, we are not dead, he killed him, since he didn't come to us, let's go to the grassland of the barbarian tribe, kill us, see who kills more, kill ruthlessly.
Mu Huali shook his head, the Tatars are our allies, the support of the grassland outside the clouds, if they can't support it, even if we defeat the barbarians in the future, the grassland tribes will no longer believe us, in that case, after shedding so much blood and killing so many people, what can we get from it?
In fact, in the final analysis, this is a conflict between two concepts of war, the tactics of the Hu people and the art of war of the Han people.
Neither of the two could convince anyone, but in Zhao Shi's eyes, the meaning of the two people was very clear, and they would fight a decisive battle, but one was to take the initiative to attack, and the other was to show the enemy weakness, waiting for the fighter to come, but they were full of confidence in defeating the barbarians.
It is not possible to say which is better or worse, but it is necessary to make a decision early......
It was not until late at night that the military discussion ended, and Zhao Shi did not make a decision immediately, in fact, in his opinion, the barbarians and the Mongols were different, the barbarians occupied the most fertile pastures on the grassland, and it was said that the caravans had to rest in the tents of the barbarians, and they were still very rich.
Compared with the Mongols now, they are more like rich people with a lot of money, so they are more light to deal with than the Mongols.
And the barbarians, who have a rich life, although powerful, are ...... It had dominated the grassland for too long, and arrogance would inevitably become its habit, so Zhao Shi didn't think that the fighters were so difficult to find, nor did he think that the warriors of the Nabarian tribe would be as terrible as Mu Huali described.
The rich man on the steppe, it may be easier to snatch, he already has some calculations in his heart, but it depends on the reaction of the barbarians, the arrogant enemy is always easier to defeat than the red-eyed people who fight with you, this may be the difference between the barbarians and the Mongols......
Therefore, he ordered all units of the army to prepare for battle, although there is no logistics baggage team, and there is no large number of carriages to requisition, but the most important thing on the grassland is war horses.
It is enough for a warrior to prepare two or three horses to carry grain and grass, which can already ensure that they do not have to worry about grain and grass for several months.
Now the Qin army is replacing war horses, but the tall Hexi horses have not been completely abandoned, these tall war horses are actually the favorite of the soldiers to rush into battle.
Therefore, Zhao Shi decided to gather the Hexi war horses, with five thousand of the bravest warriors, and use them as the purpose of charging the battle, and the scouts were equipped with a Hexi war horse, plus a grassland horse, whether it was a long-distance run or a short sprint, let the scouts choose for themselves......
After that, he ordered the generals of all the tribes to find the Tatar warriors who had stayed in the Nabarian army, and ask them what was special about the battle of the Nabarian warriors, so as to prepare as soon as possible.
The preparations for the war proceeded quickly, and Zhao Shi himself took turns to talk to the warriors who had helped the Nabarians and the Kereb tribe, in fact, it was not surprising to him, he heard that most of them were the number of Nabarian warriors, how sharp the steel swords were, how sophisticated the arrows were, and how gorgeous the armor was.
In their battles with the Kreh, most of them were fighting in the form of encirclement and suppression, swinging out the numerical superiority, and constantly forcing the soldiers of the Kreh to fight them in a decisive battle.
And they did receive good results, they had defeated the brigade of the Kereb warriors several times, forcing them to flee with wolves, but unfortunately, a few years later, they did not find the location of the Khan Tent of the Kerebu, perhaps the closest they were to the Khan Tent of the Kerebu, that time they besieged and annihilated a large tribe affiliated with the Kerebu, and the harvest was very rich, but in the end, they did not even see the shadow of the Khan Tent of the Kereb.
In such continuous attrition, the Kereh tribe gradually became completely at a disadvantage, but the Nabarian tribe was not very comfortable, and their most elite warriors were dragged there, chasing the shadows of the Kereb warriors all over the grassland, but they could not be caught.
And the consumption has become more and more amazing, food, arrows, steel knives, flowing to the east, tens of thousands of troops, in a few years, if it is not for the victory at hand, the nobles of the barbarian tribe must not be willing to bear such an astonishing consumption.
These were not the speculations of the Tatar warriors, but most of them were uttered by the barbarian warriors themselves, and they were extremely credible.
Zhao Shi can imagine that even if the Naiman tribe has not used all its strength to deal with the Kereh tribe, it has been greatly injured, and the fierce Mongolian warriors, although they are about to fail, they have killed countless Naiban warriors, in fact, in the fight with the steppe giants like the Naiban tribe, the Kereh tribe has supported for so long, it can already be called a miracle.
It also shows from the side that the Nabarian tribe is not so invincible, and the nobles of the Naiban tribe have never seen the danger in the future, and when they defeat the Kereb tribe, they will definitely attract the attention of Genghis Khan.
They did not expect, or were ready for, the blow of the swarming Mongol warriors, they only saw the victory in front of them and wanted to grasp it in their hands.
Perhaps in their eyes, there was no difference between Genghis Khan Temujin and the Kereh, and when they defeated the Kereb, the Mongol eagle would tremble his feathers in fright, bend down, and become the eagle dog of the Nabarian tribe......
Hearing this, Zhao Shi's mood was already becoming more and more relaxed, and his tactics were gradually taking shape in his heart......
(Monthly pass, monthly pass, my body is finally better today, I'm ready to go to work tomorrow, almost a week, Ah Cao has delayed a lot of work, especially distressing is the salary, alas, adults shouldn't get sick, and they can't afford it in the future...... )
