Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 886 Contradictions
How can Qu Duan let this kind of competition with himself be done?The eastern battlefield is very important. Even the theater that directly faces the main force of Xia Zuoxiang and undertakes the decisive battle is not as independent as the western front. No matter how great the contribution is on the eastern front, it is still below him.

If he really let Jieqin go, besides where he can't reach, there may also be Hexi's merits, which are comparable to recovering Lingxia, and he will never tolerate it.

Famous generals are very individual, they are also human beings, they have the mentality of guarding against their subordinates, and they are more tenacious and self-confident. For a little disagreement, he clashed with Wang Xuan.

In fact, the matter is also very simple. Qu Duan is conceited about his strategy, and he looks down on marching and joining the army on his own. He thinks that they are far away in the court and don't know much about side affairs.

Now, he was actually appointed with great authority, to dictate to the leading generals in the army, and Wang Xuan also took on the duty of guiding the western servants to join the army division to fight, which touched his rebellion even more.Since the beginning of the new military system, the role of the military joining system has been prominent. Guan Gouxing's status in joining the army has been increasing day by day, and he even has the power to reject the commander's battle plan.

It is true that setting up the military enlistment system breaks seniority based on seniority and allows those middle-level generals and schools the opportunity to participate in high-level decision-making. This is Wang Xiu's intention.It's just that many marching soldiers are young and energetic, and they are not easy to talk to. They are especially disgusting to the veterans when they dictate the strategy.

However, Wang Xuan didn't think they were wrong. In the eyes of the Privy Council Joining the Army Division Marching and Joining the Army, many strategies of the Western Guards needed to be perfected, especially the car camps equipped by each army, which had not been fully utilized, let alone paid attention to.Especially those veterans, all of them rely on experience to stand still, which makes them extremely dissatisfied.

In addition, Qu Duan put one of the two car brigades in the whole army, the second brigade, in the rear, and almost used it as a heavy soldier, which definitely made them angry.

Those young marchers joining the army, without exception, were from the University of Guards Ma Bujun. Wang Xiu personally presided over the compilation, and added Qitao's new-style vehicle combat application, which won the hearts of these marchers to join the army, and they have a deep understanding of the use of military vehicles.

They will never allow good resources to be wasted, and require Qu Duan to form a mixed formation of cavalry and chariot soldiers when breaking through the middle.

It's no wonder that Qu Duan, as a veteran of the Western Army, has his own pride. He doesn't pay attention to the books of those little kids, and he doesn't care about Wang Xiu's strategy. deceitful.

Therefore, he was very indifferent to the configuration of the military vehicle battalions. With the continuous development of the horse army, the use of baggage vehicles to resist the impact of the horse army has almost become a last resort before the defeat, and it is still convenient to refuse the use of horses.

The combat power of large chariots against cavalry has declined since the Han and Tang Dynasties. The cavalry's continuous development of tactics and the cavalry's coordinating tactics made the bulky chariots almost only have static defenses. In the end, they were looted by the two wings of the cavalry, and the infantry detoured crushed.

There is no fool who is willing to put the chariot into use. A chariot plus weapon configuration requires hundreds of coins, which is simply a waste.

Wang Xuan and the gang marching into the army didn't think so. They believed that the chariots were driven by mules and horses, and their mobility was definitely not as good as war horses, but they were much better than infantry.

Besides, the chariot is by no means a baggage vehicle, or compared with those large vehicles in the previous dynasty, it is a kind of partial box vehicle, which is divided into two types: heavy vehicles and light vehicles.

The heavy vehicle can carry five people. The vehicle is equipped with a crossbow with a gear winch, which can be regarded as a combination of a magic arm bow and a bed crossbow. It is fixed on the vehicle and can be turned left and right to shoot. There is also a magic arm bow, Two strong bows, plus long and short fighting equipment, and [-] arrows in reserve, can fully cope with high-intensity combat.

Even if the mules and horses are dead, the car is equipped with a simple gear mechanism, which can open two openings in the floor of the car, and two people can walk on the ground. Using the gear mechanics to drive the four wheels, they can move slowly to fight.

The light vehicle is much simpler. The ancient system of three people is used, and a small amount of configuration is used as a supporting heavy vehicle.

As a high-ranking general of the Military Division, he is a dignified general of the sixth rank, representing the Military Division of the Privy Council. He has the right to supervise the entire war of the Western Guards, and has the right to issue orders for all guards to join the army and Guan Gou to join the army. .

Therefore, he dared to make a tit-for-tat counterattack against Qu Duan, especially the dispatch of the 46th brigade town, which made him extremely dissatisfied.According to those who marched to join the army, since the 52nd brigade town is idle, it is better to send out to fight together, so that the real combat effectiveness of the Che army can be tested, not limited to parades.

Moreover, with the 52nd brigade town as the core, the 46th brigade town should cooperate to attract the Xia army to fight, and strive to annihilate part of the Xia army during the campaign.

Qu Duan insisted on disagreeing, and a dispute broke out between the two sides. He was greatly respected by the army in the west.

Wang Xuan also did not show any weakness, accusing Qu Duan of being arrogant, headstrong and conceited, not knowing how to use tactics at all, and his knowledge is still decades ago, he is simply old.

This time, the General of the Western Guard is in a dilemma. Qu Duan's prestige is irreplaceable in the Western Guard. No one dares to tease the tiger's beard. Said, he is Zong Ze and Li Gang's old department, Zong Ze died of a serious illness, and Li Gang is the prime minister, if you write a secret report, your future will inevitably be twists and turns.

Wang Shu had conflicts with Qu Duan at first, and seeing the Privy Council members joining the Army Division and the Western Guards to fight in the arena, he was happy to stand on the sidelines and see Qu Duan's jokes.

The contradictions are getting bigger and bigger, the 46th Brigade is ready to go, Qu Duan insists on his own opinion, and Wang Xuan refuses to give an inch, which affects the army's campaign.

Wang Xiu, who was far away in Kaifeng, already knew about the dispute. Eight hundred miles of gold medals were not for playing. With the support of a straight official path, he would know in two or three days.

"My lord, Taiwei Qu's tenacious character is really a headache, but the group of privy officials who joined the army and joined the army are also young and vigorous." Yu Wenyi was valued by Wang Xiu, and he was conscripted from the county magistrate to write convenient characters. For some kind of experience, he was a little bit suspicious of Wang Xiu's attitude, so he simply beat each other up.

Zong Liang smiled indifferently, and said lightly: "Taiwei Qu has mastered the Western Army for ten years, so he is naturally highly respected, how can he allow others to talk."

What he said was completely ironic. Those who joined the army insisted on Wang Xiu's tactics and advocated that the only car brigade of the Western Guard should be put into actual combat, but Qu Duan actually disagreed. Of course he wanted to take some eye drops, this guy is not a joke.

Wang Xiu looked indifferent, and said lazily: "Qu Duan is a famous general, but he is not a sage, and there are things he doesn't understand."
