Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3251
Gongyue City.

Xue Rengui took off the mountain armor on his body, asked the soldiers to boil a bucket of hot water to soak for a while, and after he came out, he changed into a set of ordinary clothes, sat in the government office and drank two mouthfuls of warm spirits. The damp and cold qi all over the body is completely dispelled, and it is relieved from the inside out.

This is to guard Gongyue City. If they are marching and fighting in the wild, where can they make fire and boil water?The bonfire rose and the smoke curled up, and the enemy followed the fireworks...

And this is also one of the few places where the Anxi army can have an advantage over the Arab army. Every step back, it will fortify the wall and clear the field, leaving no food, fodder and supplies for the enemy. , morale dropped very badly.

Regardless of whether serving as a soldier is a belief or a profession, you still have to eat enough and wear warm clothes...

……

Li Xiaogong was dressed in luxurious robes, and his fair face looked very rich. Without the sharpness of fighting the world in the past, he looked more like a wealthy elder visiting the mountains and rivers to find friends...

Holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, Li Xiaogong nodded in relief: "The key to a good battle is not how many enemies were killed, but how much the enemy's confidence was hit, so that these gangsters know that fighting is not just about comparing troops. Quantity, the use of strategy and tactics, is the kingly way on the battlefield."

There is a huge gap between the enemy and our forces, how can we wipe out the enemy in one battle? We can only use this kind of blunt knife to cut flesh, and at the same time, severely attack the morale and belief of the enemy, so that they have a decadent mentality of "no resistance". .

The so-called two armies meet and the brave wins, which refers to the morale and belief of the army.

When an army's morale is high and its beliefs are firm, it can often win the many with the few, and the strong with the weak;

Fighting a war is not just about cutting generals and arranging troops, but also fighting psychologically.

Xue Rengui rubbed his hands, smiled wryly and said: "This battle was fought a bit harshly. It was quite out of expectation. Who would have expected that the Arabs would be so slow to react? When they found out that our army cut off their retreat, they should understand that the local environment Under the circumstances, it is difficult for the cavalry to charge and launch an advantage, and our Modao formation specializes in defeating the cavalry. As a result, the Arabs were not only unresponsive, but also tried to counter-charge and disperse the Modao formation of our army. …now, the Arabs are afraid of our army and will take the initiative to seek change. If they divide their troops because of this, it will be troublesome.”

The Anxi army has always had an advantage in tactics and strategy, but no matter how superior it is, it is impossible to offset the disparity in the strength of the two sides.

Once the Arabs divide their forces and rush forward, how can they resist everywhere with such a small force of the Anxi Army?
Li Xiaogong didn't think so, took a sip of tea, and pointed out: "The Arabs' division of troops is indeed troublesome, but it can also be seen from this that their commanders are vacillating, and they don't have a consistent strategy. It doesn't matter how many groups they divide their troops into, as long as they seize one of them and fight hard again, the Arabs will become more and more frightened, lest they will be defeated by our army, and they may rejoin their forces in one place to protect themselves."

After a pause, he continued: "I have taught you before, as a commander, you have to look beyond the situation at the national level. The Arabs' 20 troops came in full force, which is almost the maximum limit they can mobilize. It caused great pressure, regardless of national defense or supplies. Therefore, the Arabs who went deep into the Western Regions dared to do anything but never took risks, because once they stumbled, the consequences would not only be the failure of the conquest of the Western Regions, but also their own countries. This ebb and flow triggered a chain reaction. You may not know that although Mu'awiyah became the caliph of the Great Food Kingdom, he did not follow the orthodoxy, but conspired to usurp it. Hussein, the son of the former caliph Ali, is in the Royal Navy With the support of the people, they conspired near the city of Mecca to regain the caliphate belonging to their family..."

Although Li Xiaogong is not in the Royal Navy, the navy team is all his subordinates in the past. It may be difficult to find out the internal secrets of the navy, but it is extremely easy to know the deployment and dynamics of the navy abroad.

It is no secret in Datang that the Navy has always had maritime trade with the Great Food Kingdom, but few people know that the person who directly trades with Datang is the youngest son of Ali, the former caliph of the Great Food Kingdom, after Ali was assassinated by Muawiyah , The throne changed hands, and the younger Hussein began to cooperate more and more closely with Datang, in exchange for ordnance, armor, and even thunder, to fight against Mu'awiyah.

Although the strength of the little Hussein is not enough to compare with Mu'awiyah, but after all, he is an orthodox throne with a strong reputation and righteousness. Now he has attracted a very large army in Dashi. Numerous Ali's former ministries supported him openly and secretly.

The Tang Dynasty was in chaos, and the Great Food Kingdom was not having a good time.

Xue Rengui was surprised: "Is there such a thing? In the end, seeing the Arabs coming aggressively and determined to win, they thought that their country was prosperous and prosperous, and they were actively expanding outward."

Li Xiaogong said: "External expansion does not necessarily mean the unity of internal affairs, the prosperity of the people and the strength of the country. Sometimes foreign wars are the best means to divert domestic conflicts. This is the case with the current Great Food Kingdom. They are so active in conquering the Western Regions. They are coveting the wealth of the Silk Road, and they hope to use such a meritorious service to expand the territory to enhance Mu'awiyah's prestige and consolidate his rule. Therefore, the Arab army can only win and cannot be defeated. Next, how dare they take risks?"

Xue Rengui nodded. Fang Jun told them this kind of political truth more than once, and even warned them that if they become the commander of one side in the future, they must strictly follow the central policy, otherwise, even if you have great achievements and abilities, you may end up miserable. next game.

The military must serve politics. If it deviates from this purpose, it will become a malignant tumor that disrupts the world, and everyone wants to get rid of it quickly.

In this way, even if the Arab army divides its forces, it is not so difficult to deal with.

However, Xue Rengui worriedly said: "A surprise soldier from the enemy army left the camp and headed north. Their whereabouts are unpredictable, and they must shoulder an extremely important mission. What if they rush to Jiaohe City, or even sneak attack the Duke of Yue like I guessed... What should we do? it is good?"

The reason why cavalry is called the king of war is because of its super mobility.

Once it is affixed by a cavalry and launches a surprise attack without the opponent's knowledge, the success rate is almost over [-]%. Even if it cannot be wiped out, it will definitely be severely injured.

Li Xiaogong stretched his feet, put down his teacup, clasped his fist with his right hand and tapped his left knee, shook his head and said, "Even so, there is not much we can do. However, Duke Yue has a lot of foundations in the Western Regions. There are also many partners, and there are many sources of information. Even if the big cannibal went to Jiaohe City secretly, how could he really be unaware? As long as Duke Yue pays attention, it is very difficult to sneak attack him. difficult."

He has great confidence in Fang Jun.

It is true that Fang Jun's ability to lead troops in battle is indeed ordinary, and he does not have the talent corresponding to the brilliant fighters he has achieved, but there is one thing that is not the same, that is, follow the rules and be cautious.

Perhaps it is because he knows that he does not have the talent to command troops, and he cannot be as unpredictable as a famous general in the world, so Fang Jun never has the feeling of arrogance while optimizing the army's weapons and equipment and supplies to the greatest extent. Heart.

The most important thing is the word "stable".

At the beginning when the soldiers came out of the Baidao, they were regarded as greedy for meritorious service, but the final results proved that the Youtunwei entered Mobei brazenly on the basis of fully understanding the difference in combat power between the enemy and us.

It seemed dangerous, but in fact Xue Yantuo had more than [-] people who controlled the strings, but they did not pose any threat to Fang Jun at all. Feng Lang Juxu and Le Shi Yanran are the most dazzling feats after creating Wei and Huo.

When marching and fighting, as long as you don't make low-level mistakes and don't give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of, with the combat power of the right guards, it is difficult for any army in the world to defeat them head-on.

It is even more difficult to wipe them out.

Xue Rengui also knew the truth of what Li Xiaogong said, even if he was worried, it was useless, so he nodded and got up and said: "Master, go down and make preparations. If the Arabs really divide their troops, what methods should be used to deal with them, and where to give them a head-on blow."

Li Xiaogong said happily: "Only by planning and planning can you win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. Work hard, guard against arrogance and impetuosity. After this battle, you will definitely have a place in the imperial army."
