Chapter 400: Strict
readx;?
After the death of the eldest grandson Huaiming, the offensive of the Ningnan army on the city of Ulan was sharply reduced. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info have been fighting for so many days, and the defenders in Ulan City are almost exhausted, and the main attacking Ningnan Army has also suffered heavy casualties, and now Li Jia is waiting, waiting for his own logistics supplies to come up, so as to give Ulan City the final blow.
Three days later, the supplies of the Ningnan army finally arrived, and the next day, Li Jia ordered the whole army to set up artillery to attack the city. On this day, the Ningnan army set up artillery around the city and launched a wanton bombardment of Ulan City. The city defense of Ulan City was blown up by artillery, and the soldiers and civilians defending the city suffered numerous casualties.
It was not until noon that the artillery bombardment of the Ningnan Army came to an end, and then the Ningnan Army once again launched a full-army onslaught on the city of Ulan. This time, the attack of the Ningnan army was much easier, and they successfully entered the city along the collapsed city wall, and fought street battles with the defenders and civilians in the city.
The battle was so fierce that when the sky was dark and the Ningnan army retreated, there were only about 10,000 defenders left in the city, less than 50,000 people in the city, and the streets and alleys of Ulan City were full of wreckage and corpses.
Li Jia, who was in danger of victory, was certainly not in a hurry to fight for his life in a night battle with the Feng army, and he planned to wait until dawn the next day to deal the most fatal blow to the soldiers and civilians in the city.
However, on the same night, heavy rain fell, and a cavalry detachment, the Tenth Legion of the Wind Country, suddenly came out of the swamps south of Ulan.
In fact, Li Jia also prevented the attack of reinforcements from the Wind Country, he arranged a large number of eyeliners in the north, east and west of Ulan to guard against enemy attacks, the reason why he ignored the south, because the south is a vast swamp, a place of death that eats people without spitting out bones, he does not think that the wind army will appear from there. The fastest, the newer, the newest
But the wind army just came from the swamp, Li Jia forgot one thing, this is Ulan, it is the territory of the wind country, no one will know this land better than the wind people, the south of Ulan is a swamp Yes, but it doesn't mean that there is no road there.
The 10th Legion of the Wind Country, also known as the Tiger Army, as the name suggests, is as fast as a tiger pounces.
The Ningnan army was defenseless, and the fierce fighting for several days caused the whole army to be tired, in the middle of the night, most of the soldiers were sleeping soundly in the camp tents, and the heavy rain from the sky covered the sound of the cavalry galloping, and when the Ningnan army realized that the enemy was coming, the 10th Army had already entered the camp of the Ningnan army.
Seeing the cavalry of the Wind Country that seemed to fall from the sky, the Ningnan army was completely dizzy, not understanding what was happening, where the enemy army came from, and what was even worse was that on a heavy rainy day, the artillery and firearms of the Ningnan army were completely useless.
The Ningnan Army was encircled around the city, and outside the city of Ulan, a company camp was set up that was connected from end to end for hundreds of miles.
After the 10th Army attacked the camp of the Ningnan Army, it was immediately divided into two, with the deputy corps commander Nie Zhen leading five corps to rush to the left, and the deputy corps commander Zi Yiling leading the other five corps to the right to rush to kill.
The speed of the Tiger Ben Army has reached a jaw-dropping level. The camp here had just been attacked, and the spies of the Ningnan Army immediately flew to report to a camp, but the spies of the Ningnan Army had just arrived at a camp, and before they could say a word, the Tiger Army followed.
This is the speed of the Tiger Army.
This battle is the most famous in the Ulan Campaign, 'the Tiger Ben Army and Horses Walk a Hundred Miles to the Company Camp'. The battle lasted from late night to dawn the next day, the 300,000 Ningnan army was crushed for thousands of miles, and finally the Ningnan army that fled back to Ningjun from the Ulan area was less than 30,000 people, and even Li Jia failed to escape from the camp, and died tragically in the iron hooves of the Huben army, and there were no bones.
The Battle of Ulan, and the Battle of Huyaguan in Zhenjun, these two battles gave the Ningnan army a head-on blow, resulting in a great loss of vitality of the Ningnan army, so far, the Ningnan court also completely abandoned the policy of quickly destroying the Feng country, and even the army that invaded the Feng army Ningjun was forced to retreat, retreated to Ningnan, and was stationed near the border between the two countries to rest.
This national war, which took nearly half a year and had a total of more than one million casualties between the two sides, finally came to an end, but the two imperial courts did not sign an armistice agreement, so this national war cannot be regarded as completely over, and now it can only be said that the two sides have temporarily ceased fighting.
So far, this national war has caused huge losses to the Feng Kingdom and Ningnan, both countries have suffered countless losses, and the originally strong national strength has also turned sharply and suffered serious losses.
The great victory of the Feng army in Ulan is definitely a happy good news for the officers and soldiers of the Zhenjun army who are far away in Zhenjun, and the Ningnan army has withdrawn from Ningjun, and they finally don't have to go far to Ningjun to fight.
There was no need to send troops to Ningjun, and Shangguan Xiu couldn't talk about whether he was happy or disappointed, but he was very interested in the two deputy commanders of the Tenth Army.
Nie Zhen and Zi Yiling are both young generals of the Central Army of the Wind Country, Nie Zhen is twenty-three years old, the eldest son of the current former general Nie Wei, who is extremely powerful and bravely crowns the three armies; Zi Yiling is even younger, only twenty years old, but he is already a marquis, and his grandfather is the former Feng Guo general Zi Xiao. The two of them are typical young Zhuang nobles, and they are also young generals who were vigorously promoted after Tang Ling ascended the throne.
In the later stage of the National War, Tang Ling's reuse of the upstarts he cultivated finally played a role, and the Tenth Army was able to repeatedly win key victories, which was directly related to the Wen Taowu of Nie Zhen and Zi Yiling, the two young deputy marshals.
Outside Xijing City.
Shangguan Xiu checks on the training of recruits. The new barracks is far away from Xijing, located in Xingshan, more than thirty miles away. Shangguan Xiu came early, just in time for the recruit to train and run with weights. The weight-bearing run of the Zhenjun army was not trained on flat ground, but in the mountains, which also tested the physical strength of the soldiers even more.
During this time, it has always been Sui Tangjing who trains recruits, and seeing her commanding recruits and running circles around Xingshan, Shangguan Xiu immediately recalled the scene when she was trained to run laps. Don't look at Sui Tangjing as a woman, but the training is extremely strict, which Shangguan Xiu himself deeply understands.
Seeing Shangguan Xiu, Sui Tangjing intervened and said, "My lord." ”
Shangguan Xiu smiled and waved his hand at her, and asked, "Sister Jing, how is the recent training of recruits?"
Sui Tangjing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's not ideal. ”
"What's the matter? Is it because the recruits don't listen to discipline, or is the quality of the recruits too poor?" Shangguan Xiu asked puzzled.
Sui Tangjing explained: "It was the commanders of each corps who came to pick up people at two ends in three days, and many recruits only trained for about half a month before they were taken away by the corps commanders who came to ask for people. ”
Shangguan Xiu sighed, it is understandable that the commanders of the corps are so anxious to ask for people, after all, there are big vacancies in the establishment of each corps, fill up the establishment earlier, and do the formation practice earlier, otherwise in the case of serious lack of personnel, the formation drill will be in vain.
"How's the situation with the conscription?"
"The expropriation of the pro-soldiers is still good. Sui Tang quietly looked at the thousands of recruits running in the distance, Nunu, and said, "These recruits were just sent yesterday, and I heard that there will be a group of recruits coming in the day after tomorrow." ”
Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "If you look at it this way, in another month or two, the establishment of our army will be completely restored." ”
"But the combat power of the new recruits is not the same as that of the veterans. ”
"There's no way around it. Shangguan Xiu sighed lightly, looked at the recruits who were panting and running hard in the distance, and said quietly: "Over time, the recruits will slowly become experienced veterans. After a pause, he changed his words and asked, "Are they almost done?"
"The first lap is almost over. ”
Shangguan Xiu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Sister Jing, how many laps are you going to let them run?"
"Three laps. "Three laps?" Sui Tang shrugged his shoulders and said expressionlessly: "It's three laps now, and after half a month of practice, it will increase to five laps." Leave an extra drop of sweat now, and you will shed a little less blood on the battlefield in the future, this is for their good. ”
Shangguan Xiu knocked on his forehead, and before he could speak, he knew that Sui Tangjing's training must be hellish.
By the time the recruits had completed three laps around Xingshan, they were all tired and weak, and they fell to the ground sitting or lying down. However, there were more than 100 recruits who did not stop to rest, but continued to run with weights, and their speed did not slow down in the slightest.
Seeing this, Shangguan Xiu couldn't help but be stunned, pointed to the recruits who were still running, and asked, "Why don't they keep coming to rest?"
"Because I didn't stop them. ”
"Huh?"
"Their task today is ten laps. ”
Poof! Shangguan Xiu almost spit out a mouthful of old blood just by listening to it. Although Xingshan is not big, it runs ten laps around Xingshan, to say the least, there are forty or fifty miles. This is training, it is simply to exhaust people to death.
Sui Tangjing turned his head to look at him, and then looked at the recruits who continued to run, still with no expression on his face, and said, "They are sharp soldiers." Since they want to be a sharp soldier in the army, then, they have to complete the tasks I have assigned, and if they can't stand it, they can choose to quit and become an ordinary soldier to complete the easy training task. ”
The task of ordinary soldiers is not very easy, and the task of a sharp soldier is not even more than that ordinary humans can accomplish. Shangguan Xiu muttered in his heart, and he asked, "After running ten laps, what else do they have to train?"
"Fighting. Do one-on-three combat training with ordinary soldiers. Sui Tangjing explained: "Now their martial arts are not proficient enough, they can only be one to three, and in the future, it will increase to one pair of five five against ten, or even more, and then in the future, one-on-one combat training with spiritual cultivators will be added, and there will be ......."
"Alright, alright. Shangguan Xiu waved his hand, not wanting to continue listening, Ruishi is indeed not a spiritual cultivator, but according to Sui Tangjing's training method, Ruishi is not much weaker than a spiritual cultivator when he goes to the battlefield.
"But adults think that I haven't trained them hard enough?" asked Sui Tangjing.
Shangguan Xiu looked at her with a smile, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister Jing, according to your training method, how many of them do you think will be able to persist in the end?"
Sui Tangjing said: "No matter how many people can hold on, I must ensure that the delivery to the army is a veritable wind sharps, the role of the sharps on the battlefield is not only to kill and injure the enemy, but also to charge into battle, but also to boost morale, of course I can relax their training now, let them pass in the dark, but in this way, it is equivalent to pushing them to the front of the two armies to send them to death, and I am the executioner who mutilates them." ”
