Chapter 400: Liaodong Pre-War Preparations

These mausoleums are Li Miao's proud works. It was designed and built by Li Miao in combination with the mausoleum buildings of later generations.

Mausoleums are built on major transportation arteries. Adapt measures to local conditions, easy to defend and difficult to attack! In this way, the construction of the mausoleum saves time and effort.

It also has the advantage of occupying the main road. For example, the current Jurchen army is blocked by these mausoleums.

The Jurchen army, if they want to continue to penetrate into the Dalian area, must take the mausoleum. There is no trail next to it, and you can go deep into the Dalian area.

However, the roads are rough, and it is difficult for horses and supplies to pass. If the large army wants to pass, then there is no need to think about it.

And in many places, the Liaodong Bureau will also send people to garrison. is the so-called one husband. Don't open it. In fact, it is to let go of these levels, which does not mean much to the Jurchens.

The strength of the Jurchens was large-scale horse warfare and field warfare. As long as the Jurchen horses can't get by. A small number of Jurchens, even if they passed, did not pose much of a threat.

Therefore, the Liaodong Bureau built a mausoleum, which made the Jurchens lose their advantage. There was no other way but to attack the mausoleum.

Of course, you can also choose not to fight. Return to your hometown. But this time, the Jurchens also came prepared. The siege infantry, which had been prepared for several years, finally came in handy.

At least you don't have to let the cavalry go directly to attack the mausoleum. Therefore, this year's Liaodong Campaign is an offensive and defensive battle around the mausoleum.

Each mausoleum fort is adapted to local conditions. occupies the main traffic arteries. If the Jurchens want to take it, the number of troops invested each time is also limited.

The mausoleum is such a big place, no matter how many troops it has, it can't be used. This is where the key advantage of the castle lies.

The Jurchens wanted to take advantage of the large number of people and take a mausoleum at all costs. Sorry, take your time.

The number of troops to be invested at one time is limited. Therefore, if the Jurchens want to take a mausoleum, they can only slowly fill it with their lives.

Even if the Jurchens can take a few mausoleums in the end, the price they pay will definitely be heavy. This time, the Liaodong Bureau adopted a three-story mausoleum fort for in-depth defense.

That is, the focus is strengthened, and the defense of the first three layers of the mausoleum is strengthened. Even if the Jurchens break through a mausoleum, it is not very significant.

There are also two layers of mausoleum forts in the back. More than 80 percent of the Liaodong Bureau's escort force is concentrated in the first three layers of the mausoleum defense system.

The Jurchens took a layer of mausoleum, but they still couldn't drive straight in. Winning the three-story mausoleum system means that the guard force of the Liaodong Bureau has been wiped out.

It is no longer a big problem for the Jurchens to win. But that was nearly 100,000, and the quality of individual soldiers was much stronger than that of the Jurchen guards.

At present, due to the role of Jia Tanchun's military book, the cooperation of these guards has also made great progress.

In particular, the cooperation between two or three people has made the most obvious progress. The guards focused on training cooperation in a small area.

Fighting inside the mausoleum. It's all battles of this level. Once the two sides start a war, it is estimated that the battle loss ratio between the Jurchens and the guards of the Liaodong Bureau will be one to three.

This is the casualty situation of both sides predicted by the Liaodong Bureau according to the situation of both sides. If the guards of the Liaodong Bureau, once they adapt to the battle.

There is still room for improvement in the battle loss ratio. The guards of the Liaodong Bureau were mainly Han Nu. Although their force value is stronger than that of the Jurchens.

But no blood has been seen. At the beginning of the battle, the guards of the Liaodong Bureau entered the state, which was relatively slow.

The senior management of the Liaodong Bureau has also taken adequate countermeasures. All of these guards are small.

Now their home is small and has been moved to the rear. Therefore, the guards of these front-line three-story mausoleum forts are almost prepared for the worst.

None of these guards, nor their families, wanted to live their old days. What kind of life are you living now.

In the past, under the rule of the Jurchens, it could not be regarded as a human life. Death is not terrible. Even if these guards die in battle, they can leave a fortune for their families.

At least materially. This includes awards for military exploits, as well as death benefits. This is what Li Miao demanded, the benefits of taking the family as a unit in the sphere of influence.

With the ties of their families, the guards are better able to follow discipline. Even if you die in battle, you can also achieve certain benefits for your family.

The three-story mausoleum at the front line, the family members have already been evacuated. There is not much grain and grass left in the mausoleum.

Of course, for thousands of guards, food and grass are abundant. The Liaodong Bureau in order to prevent the capture of the mausoleum.

Leave a large amount of food supplies for the Jurchens. Therefore, in the first three layers of the mausoleum, only the guards were left with food and grass for one or two months.

War is fought in terms of supplies. With sufficient supplies, the physical fitness of the guards is strong. Now that the end of the year is approaching, the eastern Liaoning region has entered a cold winter.

The temperature has dropped to -20 degrees Celsius. The Jurchens are indeed more resistant to cold than the Han Chinese. But that's also about eating meat.

If you don't have meat, you're just as afraid of the cold, and you'll freeze to death. Although this time the Jurchens prepared, two months of sufficient grain and grass.

But sufficient food and grass is also relative. Compared with the Jurchen cavalry, it may be very abundant food and grass.

But the Hannu cavalry and Hannu infantry will be much worse. After all, this is still an era of scarcity. The Jurchens came all the way and how many supplies they could carry.

It's good that most people can make ends meet. As for the other Hannu and craftsmen who transported grain and grass, not to mention.

It's nice to be half-full. The other is to keep warm, the problem of keeping so many people warm. The key is to look at the cold cotton clothes.

These are all strength - soft power. In the past few years, the Liaodong Bureau has had sufficient food and materials. Meat, eggs, and poultry are abundant, and the food of the guards is not to mention.

Eating enough has not been a problem for a long time, and now it is important to eat well. If the guards don't eat well, how can the force value increase.

The guards have long been paying attention to nutrition. In the bitter cold of minus twenty degrees. In addition to eating meat, there are also high spirits to keep out the cold.

As for the winter coat to protect against the cold, the guards have already made it to each person. Now outdoors, the guards of the Liaodong Bureau are standing motionless for an hour.

Nor does it get frostbite. This fully reflects the benefits of the abundant materials of the Liaodong Bureau. If the two sides are consumed like this, it won't be long before the two sides are consumed.

The Jurchens will definitely lose a lot of fat. And the guards of the Liaodong Bureau will only get stronger and stronger. I am strengthening my physique all the time.

The cold winter is not a good season for martial arts. There are many guards in the Liaodong Bureau, and they don't even wear cotton clothes.

Polishing your body outdoors. Li Miao looked at the battle report on the front line. The current Liaodong Bureau has frequent battle reports. Two or even three times a day.

Although the war has not yet begun. The two sides have clearly entered a state of war. War is on the verge of breaking out.

Li San, the commander of the Liaodong Bureau's guards, was the supreme commander of the Liaodong Bureau's campaign. Frequently appeared on the front line of the mausoleum, cheering for the guards.

This time, Li San's main position was in the second echelon of the mausoleum. There is no specific station. It is a mobile type.

In addition, along with Li San, there were 5,000 cavalry. As the last maneuvering force. The role of these five thousand cavalry is more of a deterrent to the Jurchens.

and a morale boost for his own guards. The real combat effect is actually not very large. The symbolism is obvious!

It is impossible for Li San to send 5,000 cavalry to the mausoleum to fight hard. It is even more impossible to send it to fight against the Jurchen cavalry.

However, at the critical moment, Li San would not feel sorry for these cavalrymen. Before the war, Li Miao had already sent a letter to Li San alone.

The content of the letter was mostly encouraging. Let Li San not have any worries and let go of his hands and feet. In a big battle, the most taboo thing is that someone is pointing fingers at the back.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Front-line commanders must have arbitrary power. The more rules and regulations are given, the more it will limit the manager's performance.

Li Miao is not without requirements for Li San. Li Miao emphasized in the letter.

"If the three-story mausoleum fort defense is breached. You don't need to come back to see me. In Li Miao's opinion, such a situation is still possible.

It stands to reason that there are nearly 100,000 guards for the defense of the three-story mausoleum. According to the battle loss of one to three. The guards are exhausted, and they want to kill and injure 300,000 Jurchens.

Unless there is a rout. Once the guards fled. Not to mention nearly 100,000 guards, no matter how many guards there are, it is useless.

Therefore, this requires Li San, and even the high-level of the Liaodong Bureau, to do a good job in the pre-war mobilization of the guards. Let the guards have no worries, and let the guards dare to fight.

That is to say, it is necessary to implement the policies of the Liaodong Bureau. If the top management of the Liaodong Bureau can't even do this well, it will be a serious dereliction of duty.

So on the surface, the war seems to be the embodiment of the combat power of the soldiers on both sides. It was the commanders of both sides who were fighting wits and courage.

A good commander can boost the morale of his soldiers. Morale plays a vital role in warfare.

Coupled with the endless stratagems of the commanders. It also determines the balance of victory and defeat in the war. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the armed forces, but more importantly, the concentrated expression of the political and economic aspects of the forces of both sides.

An advanced political and economic system determines the combat effectiveness of its armed forces. Take the Liaodong Bureau as an example.

Let's start with a political perspective. The guards of the Liaodong Bureau all have families. They don't just fight for themselves.

It's also fighting for the family. A series of systems of the Liaodong Bureau. Solved the worries of the guards.

It has always been a wealth and a risk. The surviving guards of this war. It can be said that it is a step to the sky.

It's not just the job that gets promoted. Wealth will also increase a lot. Even if you die in battle. His family will also receive preferential treatment from the Liaodong Bureau.

Enjoy the treatment of martyrs. There is also a generous pension. Li Miao's forces have always paid attention to the preferential treatment of martyrs.

The families of the martyrs will never be allowed to suffer the slightest grievance. Of course, as a guard, if you escape on the battlefield.

The Liaodong Bureau also has very strict sanctions. The system of these Liaodong Bureaus determines the performance of the guards on the battlefield.

The Liaodong Bureau taught Jeet Kune Do to the guards. The general combat power of these guards is much stronger than that of the Jurchens.

As long as they play normally, they will definitely have an obvious upper hand against the Jurchens in the mausoleum. Economically, the Liaodong Bureau has developed extremely well in recent years.

Whether it is industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, etc., the Liaodong Bureau has made great progress.

The industry of Liaodong Bureau is developed. The arsenal of the Liaodong Bureau has produced the most advanced weapons and armor for the guards.

It directly improves the combat power of the guards and their ability to save lives. Especially this year the Liaodong Bureau Arsenal. He also made advanced metal crossbow arrows with great lethality for the guards of the mausoleum.

For the effective killing of the Jurchens on the battlefield, long-range weapons were provided.
