Chapter 172: Qiguan
Jingzhou
Manyuan County
Qiguan
For a month, Shangguan Xiong led millions of troops, all the way like a bamboo, and recovered all the land in Jingzhou that had been invaded by the Nanban. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Today, only this Qiguan leading to the wasteland is still in the hands of the Nanban, and a full five million Nanban troops are stationed in Qiguan.
Looking at Qiguan, which was located between the mountains, Shangguanxiong, the Duke of Zhenguo, did not rashly attack, but steadily stationed thirty miles away.
Qiguan
Located in the west of the wild mountain range, its wild mountain range stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and the mountains are ten thousand ravines, which divides Dayu and the barbarian land.
And the Qiguan in the west and the Tianhuang City in the east are the only two passages for Dayu to reach the barren state.
Originally, these two places have always been firmly in the hands of Dayu, and his two armies have been retained at more than 500,000.
Even if there was a deserted state as a buffer before, the guards of the Dayu court have never relaxed their vigilance against this city.
Last time, the blood god was assassinated on the way to inspect the Qiguan, but fortunately he was not succeeded by the barbarians, otherwise, the Nanban might still be presumptuous in southern Xinjiang at this time.
The two important military towns are now in the hands of the Nanban, and there are still millions of Nanban troops in them that are not inferior to their own side.
This made Shangguan Xiong worry about it for several days, and similarly, the Southern God Hou Blood Tongtian also encountered the same trouble under the Heavenly Desolate City.
In the face of the pressure of the army of the Yu Dynasty, the Nanban did not fight with the Dayu army as before, and it was stubbornly guarding two important places not out, wanting to let the southern god wait for the blood to pass through the sky and the town of the country to know that it was difficult to retreat.
Nanban, who has a favorable geographical location, is not stupid, and naturally will not go out of the city (out of the customs) to fight in the field with Dayu, two famous generals.
Nanban is warlike and supreme in his bones, so he will naturally not be afraid to fight with Dayu's army.
However, the two sides are in a big war, and the number of dead and wounded is bound to be quite a lot, and Dayu is good to say that they have people who can replenish their troops.
Even if you lose millions at once, you can gather millions of troops again in a short time, which has an incomparable advantage for the Nanban, which has a limited population.
Therefore, Nanban, who now occupies a geographical advantage, will not be stupid enough to run out and wrestle with Shangguan Xiong and Blood God Hou.
Inside the marshal's tent, Shangguan Xiong was staring at the topographical map around Qiguan, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't think of an effective way to attack after thinking for a long time.
The Wild Mountain Range is too big and too long, which makes Shangguan Xiong feel extremely depressed, no matter how he attacks, this Wild Mountain Range is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
I thought that I couldn't lead millions of troops to spare the barbarian mountains and fight directly into the hinterland of the Southern Barbarians.
If that is the case, there is no way to guarantee the logistics of the army.
"General, Nanshen waits for the military report. ”
Shangguan Xiong took the military report handed over by Tie Ying, and after opening it and reading it carefully, the content on it was similar to what he had guessed, and Nanshen Hou Blood Tongtian was also in a dilemma like him.
So, I wrote to ask about his next move.
The geographical location of Qiguan and Tianhuang City is too important, Dayu and Nanban, who occupy these two places, will occupy the initiative.
Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, in Shangguan Xiong's view, but he can't let Nanban always occupy his hands.
Otherwise, if the barbarians come to southern Xinjiang to fight grass valleys if they have nothing to do in the future, or seize the opportunity to come to plague southern Xinjiang, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable at that time.
After a slight groan, Shangguan Xiong said to his messenger:
"Report back to the Southern Shenhou, let his soldiers come to the city, first press the soldiers, and find opportunities on their own. ”
"Yes, the subordinates retired. ”
At this time, Shangguan Xiong suddenly thought that his grandson didn't know what was going on, he had been busy with military affairs for the past month, but he didn't have time to take care of Shangguan Qiuyu's affairs.
So, I couldn't help asking:
"Qiu Yu, how is he now?"
"Childe, he's now in the scout camp and has become the leader of the scout team. Iron Eagle replied.
"What is he doing in the scout camp?" Shangguan Xiong asked with a frown.
"Childe was the first to rush into the city when he attacked the city, and he could have been promoted to a lieutenant because of his merits, but Childe refused.
As for why, the last general doesn't know, it was Gongzi who applied for transfer to the scout camp himself, and at the same time, he also got Zhang Heizi's consent. ”
Iron Eagle told everything he knew.
Dayu army establishment:
Centurion: The lowest-ranking officer in Dayu's army.
Soldiers: Ten centurions, 1,000 soldiers.
Du Wei: An officer of this level can already build a battalion of men, usually about 3,000 people, to take care of the safety of a county.
Captain: The mainstay of the army, the real real power officer, each of whom has nearly 10,000 horses.
It is the highest position that those martial artists who do not know how to write and ink can rise, and at the same time, the martial arts of every lieutenant need to reach at least the cultivation of the third-rate realm or above.
At the same time, the position of lieutenant is also the most popular position in the army, because in the army, as long as you have strength, you can challenge your superiors.
As long as you defeat the opponent, you can take their place, but those who have military merits cannot be challenged by them.
Miscellaneous generals: Miscellaneous generals are the lowest official positions among generals, such as General Pi, partial generals and other arbitrarily named general titles, which belong to this range.
General Siping: For example, the three major generals under Nan Shenhou, the official position of the head of the Nangong family, is this position.
General Si'an: The highest military official position in a state.
General of the Four Towns: The Southern God is the General of Zhennan.
Four Expeditionary Generals: Under normal circumstances, the imperial court is not often established, and only when there is a local rebellion or conquest of foreign tribes, the leading general is given this position.
Generals of the Fourth Army: Under normal circumstances, the imperial court is not often established, and only the generals sent by the imperial court to rescue foreign invasions will be temporarily granted this position.
General: The highest military commander among the generals, in charge of all the armies in the world (except for the Yucheng army), Yu Dynasty, the position of the general has been permanent.
However, each of its generals has one thing in common, that is, this position is as if it was set up for the Shangguan family.
For a long time, he held the position of a general, from beginning to end, it was a person from the Shangguan family.
This position of a great general, like a hereditary title, has also become a hereditary position of the Shangguan family in disguise.
Therefore, this made the royal family have to come out of the post of marshal and make a separation of powers, in order to divide the power of the general.
Marshal: Nominally half a level higher than the general, he controls the promotion and dispatch of the world's army, including the forbidden army of Yucheng is also under his jurisdiction, a total of three people.
"Hmph, this Zhang Heizi is really going to find trouble for Lao Tzu. Shangguan Xiong said with a slight dissatisfaction.
The Scout Battalion, which is a high-risk profession, is slightly lower than the Dead Battalion.
Especially in such a large-scale war, the first battle between the two armies was the scout battalions of both sides.
At this time, the death of the scout camp was slightly greater than that of the dead battalion that led the siege.
Of course, although the scout camp is dangerous, the treatment is the best in the whole army, and it is also the place where the promotion is the fastest.
