The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 153 Generals are stupid

~《》~ Chapter 153: I will be foolish

Although Zhao Qiong received the reprimand from the Secretariat, he did not take it seriously. In order to review the results of the winter training, he planned to convene the imperial guards stationed in Hedong on March 15th to hold a grand review. According to the road, Hedong was divided into concurrent agents (

Taiyuan), Zelu, Lanshi, and Linfu, there are thirteen generals in total, and there are six generals participating in the review this time.

This time, Zhao Qi did not do some fun, queue, array and other flower stands like usual, but held a live-fire military exercise code-named "Hand in Hand", with the third general in Hedong, who can save it.

To command the six generals in Hedong for the Red Side and the loyal and brave army for the Blue Side, the two sides launched a 'war' under the abandoned city of Jinyang. This is not only a preview of the war between cold weapons and hot weapons, but also two distinct

The collision of different military ideas.

The exercise was divided into six games, namely attacking, defending the city, surprise attack, anti-sneak attack and logistics support, and array attack. The prince's personal army was only six months old, so the generals of Hedong still won the victory of the exercise.

Full of confidence, after all, they are already a long battle formation, and they have at least a psychological advantage for a group of new recruits who have never heard of blood. At first, they also discussed whether to leave some face for the prince and not let the prince lose.

It was too ugly, but after a tough battle, their faces were trampled by the prince and they twisted them a few more hatreds.

The battlefield of attack was chosen in the south city of Jinyang's abandoned city. Although it was destroyed, the main structure was still there. Zhe Kecun sent two generals to defend the city and quickly restored the city defense facilities. However, the loyal and brave army that siege only sent one general.

According to the past theory of offense and defense, the ratio of offense and defense should be at least 2:1, but this time it turned over. After the battle began, the Blues' offensive caught them off guard. The fierce artillery fire and locust-like bullets

, the rumbling explosion sounded, and the incendiary bomb caused a fire.

These unprecedented means quickly destroyed their city defense facilities and their confidence in sticking to each other. One hour later, when the city gate was blown up by artillery fire, there was no need to defend it. According to the generals

Assessed, the firepower preparation had already wiped out half of their defenders, but the prince still had no troops on his side.

Although the Red Army generals racked their brains to find ways in the next few rounds, the result was still pale. They attacked the city, and all the equipment was destroyed. The attackers did not even pass through the moat, and their hands lost their attack without touching the city wall.

The ability of the Red Army who defended the city was counterattacked by the Blue Army and was almost wiped out; at night, the attack camp was raided by the opponent, and his chief general was assassinated and kidnapped by the Red Army's spies who were touched into the camp, and his military plan was stolen.

, The soldiers in the camp were incited by rumors and almost 'muted'; later everyone thought that they could only make a fuss against the Red Army's weakest combat power, and sent the selection battalion with the strongest combat power of each general to attack the Red Army's transportation line, and ended up surrounding the

A Red Army baggage battalion with more than 500 people lived in it, and after most of the day, the "destroyed soldiers and lost generals" but did not eat it; in the last array attack, the two sides had equal strength, and everyone thought that the Red Army's muskets and artillery could not be used this time.

, the swords and guns may still have a chance of winning, but they are still defeated in front of the charge of the loyal and brave cavalry.

After the ten-day exercise, the generals of Hedong admired the flexible tactics, strict discipline and powerful weapons of the Loyal and Brave Army. No one dared to mention invincibility in front of the Loyal and Brave Army. This battle also laid the foundation for the Loyal and Brave Army's first general.

'The prince also became the veritable Hedong Marshal and the real leader of the army!

Zhao Qi had just changed the situation in Hedong, and the Intelligence Department heard news that Liu Fa defeated Tong'ancheng.

In the spring of the first year of Xuanhe, Liu Fa, the Xihe general, one of the six generals in the northwest, received the order from his grandfather-in-law Tong Guan again: he used the power of victory to continue to send troops to advance to Shuofang City, which is Lingzhou, the hinterland of the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, and Xing

In the prefecture area, as soon as Liu Fa's army arrived in Tong'an, the troops were exhausted and had not yet received enough rest. They encountered the Xixia army led by King Chage of the Western Xia and Jin Dynasties. As a last resort, a large-scale encounter began.

Chage knew Liu Fay well, and divided the army into three fronts to face the front of the Song army. He also divided the elite cavalry Tieyaki to climb the mountain from the rear and walked around the back of the Song army, intending to make Liu Fay the enemy from both sides. At this time, Liu Faze made a fatal mistake

There was a mistake in choosing a camp site. I did not choose to station on a high mountain where I could observe and attack the enemy from a high place. Instead, I believed my subordinates' suggestions and set up camp on an open lowland. Perhaps this was done because it was beneficial to the development.

The Song army was good at array tactics, but he ignored the combat effectiveness of his army after the long march at this time. The choice of this location became the key reason for the final defeat in this battle.

After the battle began, the disadvantages of the Song army after the march all the way began to emerge, while the Xixia army was waiting for work, and its advantages became increasingly obvious, and it continued to launch new attacks. The head coach Cha Ge personally led more than 10,000 troops to attack Liu Faqian, headed by Yang Weizhong, who was brave and good at fighting.

The army had achieved results at this time. Yang Weizhong's front army was finally broken and defeated into the central army. The Song army lost the guards of the front army. At this time, the roundabout attacks of the Song army sent by Chage also made breakthrough progress.

Liu Fa's rear army was difficult to resist, and he retreated step by step and collapsed into the left army. Liu Fa's Ministry lost the guards of the rear army. In this way, the Xixia Chage army had completed the siege. Liu Fa's left and right armies had to tighten and each of them was responsible for their own efforts.

war.

Liu Fa was unwilling to fail and regrouped the three armies, using Ce Pioneer to vanguard the Right Army, Ce Palace Left Army and the Direct Central Army launched the last fierce triangular offensive to break through. This battle lasted more than seven hours from the early morning to the nightfall.

Although the Song army never feared the war and retreated, after all, the soldiers and horses had insufficient food and rest, and the fierce battles resulted in "hungry and thirsty soldiers, and many people died." In the end, the left army Zhu Dingguo was defeated first, and the triangular offensive touched

As soon as it was defeated, the Song army could no longer withstand such a fierce battle. The entire army collapsed. Commander Liu Fa surrounded it. The generals did not know where it was, and they were too busy to escape.

Liu Fa led several cavalry to retreat at night, and the direction of his retreat was also very puzzling. He did not run to Lanzhou, where the Song camp was located, and Zhenwu Army, but went the other way, running for seventy miles overnight.

Escape to the hinterland of Xixia, named Zhuzhu, because the road was dark, I was anxious to escape. I was panicked and fell off the cliff and broke my leg. It was really raining all night. At this time, I happened to be from Xixia.

The soldiers of the fu Zhan found out and killed him. The leader went to ask for credit from Cha Ge.

Cha Ge is indeed a talented general. He ignored the fatigue of the soldiers and made people pick up Liu Fa's head and quickly rushed to attack the support troops of the Song army and the civilians transporting grain. Seeing the heroic and good at fighting, the famous general Liu Fa, who was frightened by the Western Xia, was also frightened.

The most elite imperial guard he has led, no armor

Suddenly, the army was frightened and defeated without fighting. The baggage was also captured by the Xixia army. Tong'an City, which had occupied less than a year, was lost again.

In the battle of Tong'an City, the Song army lost 20,000 elite troops, and together with the military and civilians and men, they lost more than 100,000 troops. The general Liu Fazhen was killed. The newly acquired Tong'an City was also recovered by the people of Xixia. Liu Fazhi died.

It also shocked the border generals and became afraid of Xixia. After obtaining Tong'an City, Cha Ge re-sieged the siege of Zhenwu Army. Zhenwu is the ancient bone dragon built by Tong Guan.

The city, Zhenwu, was very critical. Once it was lost, the Western Xia army could go straight to Lanzhou and then penetrate into the mainland.

Zhao Qi was heartbroken when he received the news. After Tong Guan won the battle of Tong'an City last year, he wrote to express his congratulations and politely put forward the opinions of "not to be too hasty". He should adopt the "step-by-step approach, steady action, and unite

In the shallow attack, gradually eliminate the vital forces of Xixia, and finally conquered Xingqing Prefecture's gradual strategy. In the subsequent official documents, he also advised him many times, hoping that Tong Guan could listen to his own opinions, and even willing to reduce his identity and lead the elite Hedong people to go there in person.

Lanzhou followed its command to participate in the battle, but was rejected by Tong Guan, a loser. In the end, it failed to block the wheel of history. The tragedy still happened!

Although Tong Guan was an eunuch, he was still the one who knew the most about the military in the Song Dynasty today. With the military strength and financial resources of Shaanxi and Hedong, he indeed achieved great results in the war with Xixia for several years and occupied Xixia at the national border.

In addition, he has gained a strategic advantage. However, he still finds it difficult to get rid of the limitations of this era. The main general has never stepped onto the battlefield in the rear and has no clear understanding of the battlefield. He has a more important understanding of the battlefield.

The soldiers have never seen the combat effectiveness, have no clear understanding of the situation, and have followed the old path of winning first and then losing.

If he knew that there were fellow travelers in later generations, he might have felt a little relieved. During the Opium War in the late Qing Dynasty, the famous Guangzhou general Yang Fang fought with the British, and asked his subordinate troops to collect women's urine to destroy the magic of the British army. During the Battle of Zhapu

The Qing army was wearing paper masks on their faces, jumping with great gods, pretending to be monsters, and rushing towards the British army, but they knew nothing if they didn't ask.

Even if there are some knowledgeable generals like Guan Tianpei and Lin Zexu, they are sad to see their childish ignorance when fighting against foreign devils. When Guan Tianpei was confronting the British army, he asked his soldiers to sing around the round mountain behind the fort.

The purpose is to give the British army an illusion of increasing troops. He seemed to think that these foreigners were powerful guns and could not have much intelligence. If we Chinese use a little trick, we can make these look as hairy as gorillas.

"Foreign Russians" fooled them.

Lin Zexu is not much better than Guan Tianpei in his understanding of foreigners. Because Lao Lin accidentally saw the foreigner walking, his steps were stiff. He seemed to have no idea that it was someone walking in a straight manner, so he arbitrarily believed that the foreigner's joints were

We are different, our knees will not bend. So he imagined that when fighting, he would use a bamboo pole and poke the bend of the legs of the foreigners, which would easily knock the foreigners to the ground.

Today, Lord Tong is even more powerful. He regards his army as a magic weapon. He does not consider the problems of in-depth relay and withdrawal of the lonely army. He just wants to ask Liu Fa to lead the cavalry to penetrate the nest in Xixia. Liu Fa is also stunned.

At first, he was cautious, but later underestimated the enemy. As a veteran who fought with Xixia many times, if he fought steadily according to the actual situation, if he could eat Chage's army carefully, Xixia would lose the capital to fight the Northern Song Dynasty and would be in danger of destruction.

Even if it fails, it will not be wiped out. However, if it is not believed on the battlefield, there is no meaning in hindsight...
