Chapter 339: Guan Xing is also crazy
Everyone knows that not far north of Beijing is the Great Wall, and this Zhuo County is almost on the edge of the Great Wall (Zhuo County is also within the scope of Beijing in later generations). To the north of this section of the Great Wall are several places such as Daijun, Shanggu, Mayi, Baideng, Sangqian, etc., and further north in these places, there is another section of the Great Wall, and these two sections of the Great Wall are connected at two ends and two ends.
That is to say, there are two sections of the Great Wall, one south and one north, sandwiching these places in the middle, forming a long and narrow shuttle-like terrain. The Kebi Neng Department mainly operates in the narrow strip between these two sections of the Great Wall. This is equivalent to a huge shuttle-shaped city, and these two sections of the Great Wall are the walls of this city, as long as you keep these two sections of the Great Wall, you can form a country of your own in this narrow strip of land, and sit back and relax.
However, the Xianbei people are neither good at besieging or defending cities, so these two sections of the Great Wall are equivalent to a waste for them, not only will they not benefit them, but will hinder their passage.
The people on horseback like to live freely, and they will come to a relocation at any time, and they like to go in any direction, they used to be unobstructed on the grassland, and they can indeed go in that direction, but now they can't, they are surrounded in the middle of two sections of the Great Wall, and it is difficult to climb over the Great Wall at will.
If they wanted to leave the place, they had to leave through a specific gap or gate in the Great Wall. There is no way for the Kebi Neng to form a country of their own in this place, in addition to the fact that the Xianbei people are not good at defending the city, and they do not have so many troops to defend the two sections of the Great Wall that are so long, there is also a reason that there is not only their side of the force here.
It is still the sphere of influence of the Han Chinese, and there are also some Karasuma people who are active. The Han people were mainly concentrated near the city, and the Xianbei people were nomadic in the wild. Before that, Tian Yu served in Daijun. The forces of the Han and Xianbei people here are intertwined and intricate, and in some places even the Han and Hu live together. Working in such a complex place, he can still make some achievements, which shows that Tian Yu does have real materials.
The Second Division now has one regiment stationed in Zhuojun, and two regiments stationed on the section of the Great Wall to the north of Zhuojun.
On the Great Wall of Zhuojun and the First Division, the Second Division suddenly scattered the strength of a brigade, and the strength of this brigade was concentrated, and the queue looked like a lot, but it was sprinkled on the continuous Great Wall, like a few small waves scattered on the sea, and not even a bubble could be raised.
The Great Wall was so long that it was impossible to place the soldiers densely packed on the walls, and the strength of the 1st Division was mainly stationed at some passes and gaps, through which the enemy, if the enemy attacked, mainly through these passes. Because the road passes through these passes, and if you don't pass through these passes, you have to climb over high mountains where there are no roads.
In this way, it is still possible to cross mountains and mountains, and finally to cross the Great Wall, and it is still possible to change a small group of elite troops, but it is difficult to do it with a large army. As for the gaps, they were places that had fallen into disrepair and collapsed, and Guan Xing organized some Wei soldiers who had been captured when he received the territory of the Wei State some time ago into a construction corps to urgently repair these gaps.
Until these openings are repaired, a certain number of troops will need to be stationed just in case. On the city wall, there is generally no need to stand people, the city wall every other distance, there will be a beacon tower and watchtower, each beacon tower will have three or five soldiers stationed, each beacon tower is equipped with a pair of telescopes, these soldiers can observe the enemy situation outside the Great Wall on the high beacon tower.
If an enemy wants to sneak over the Great Wall, they will spot it in time and light a beacon fire to warn them. When they saw the beacon fire, the nearby garrison would quickly rush to the warning point and repel the enemy. This is one of the traditional methods of defending the Great Wall, and it is also used by the 2nd Division.
Guan Xing was more conservative than Zhang Bao, and the previous orders issued by the imperial court to the various troops were to expel the Xianbei people from the Great Wall and ensure that they did not invade the Great Wall again, and Guan Xing strictly carried out this task.
The 2nd Division was confronted by the Xianbei of the Kebi Neng Division, whose main area of activity was between the Inner and Outer Great Walls, but there were also scattered clansmen operating south of the Inner Great Wall. Guan Xing expelled these Xianbei people south of the Inner Great Wall to the north of the Inner Great Wall, and considered the task to be completed, and then he arranged for soldiers to be deployed on the front line of the Inner Great Wall to prevent the Xianbei people from invading the south of the Inner Great Wall again.
Since the vast majority of the Kebineng division was operating north of the Inner Wall, the 2nd Division encountered almost no fighting, only sporadic skirmishes, and it can be said that they were the easiest of all the troops.
It was also their good luck that at the earliest, it was the Fifth Division that first came to Zhuogun, and they were unlucky, they encountered Karasuma's brigade, and as a result, they fought a solid encounter and suffered a lot of losses. Later, the Fifth Division pursued the Karasuma people, and when the Second Division came to Fanyang and Zhuojun again, there were no enemies here.
Just when Guan Xing thought that he could take a break and breathe a sigh of relief, the imperial court suddenly informed the divisions of the good news that the first division had destroyed the Xianbei royal court, and Guan Xing couldn't sit still. Only then did he realize that he was too lax, too unmotivated, too complacent to the status quo.
He was determined to learn from the example of the First Division, take the initiative to strive for the opportunity to attack, and also make immortal contributions. He held a military meeting for three days in a row to discuss countermeasures for sending troops, but after three days, he did not come up with a reason.
The General Staff Headquarters has compiled the methods and experiences of using the vehicle formations to fight in the grasslands into written materials and distributed them to all units, so that they can quickly integrate and apply this set of combat methods.
They can also get the vehicles needed to form a vehicle formation, after all, some time ago, all units received orders to collect vehicles along the way, and the second division also collected a lot, as long as it was slightly modified, it would be enough to use.
However, after three days of military meetings, everyone discussed and discussed, and finally had to veto this plan. There are two reasons, the first reason has been mentioned above, the settlement of the Kebineng tribe is not fixed, and it can be migrated at any time, so it is completely unfeasible to use the tactic of "straight ~ smashing the yellow dragon".
Because there is no "Yellow Dragon" to mess with for you, even if you can detect the location of their settlement, as soon as you send troops, they will be moved, and before you arrive, they will migrate far away to avoid your edge.
P.S. Zhuojun and Fanyang may be the names of the same place in different periods, or they may be adjacent places, but their scope is both part of Beijing and Hebei in later times, which is certain. According to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they are two adjacent places, and here it is still written according to the setting of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
