Chapter 1625 Guerrilla(1/2)
This is not surprising.
Generals Fang Xiaoyue was familiar with, such as Li Qingshu, all rose in rank after receiving rewards for their meritorious service.
Some were transferred to the capital to serve, and some were transferred to the coast. There was no one like Fang Xiaoyue who stayed where he was.
Because this is the principle of appointing military attaches in Daze Kingdom.
In order to prevent generals from being left behind due to being in one place for a long time, the Daze Kingdom made great efforts in the appointment and transfer of military attaches.
To put it simply, mid- to senior-level military attachés who have served for more than five years must be transferred out of the province.
Military attachés who are promoted in rank must be transferred out of their post.
Senior military attachés who are promoted to the third rank or above must be transferred to the capital to serve.
It is precisely for this reason that in the more than two hundred years of history of Daze Kingdom, there have been few cases of military attaches plotting rebellion.
What's more, the two elders, Zhenbeihou and Jiangyanghou, took over as the head coaches of the two lines and brought a large group of confidant generals from the capital with rank four or above.
It was only when Ben Chachao retreated into the tribe and captured some of the remaining old men, women, and children that he knew what was going on. One of the elderly herdsmen, who seemed to have a lower status, got off and shouted: "They are
From which tribe?”
But faced with an attack that was almost provocative, we naturally showed no mercy and immediately drew our bows to fight back.
Before resting by the river for the night, it was getting dark. Benxiwan hurriedly broke camp and retreated northward along the Darien River. When he was about 70 kilometers away, he saw a group of sheep grazing on the grass.
The reason why the head coach of the Northwest Army is asked to follow the rear army is entirely because the Northwest Army suffered heavy losses before two consecutive small battles. There are too few recruits outside. We must be allowed to fight as the vanguard. If we fight a tough battle, we will directly direct the troops.
Defeated.
Seven days before the guerrilla army sets off, the vanguard army will send out troops first, while the central army will send out troops a week before, before worshiping the sky.
Ma Yingyi personally interrogated these captured Xiaoyue herdsmen and got some information from us.
He is not only the county magistrate, but also in charge of Benjiang Yanghou Yong.
To put it more complicatedly, during this lifetime of free fighting, Cha Chaoming never gave the guerrillas an order to attack which tribe, but instead asked them to wait for the opportunity and annihilate the barbarian tribes they encountered as much as possible.
After all, when they first sent out troops, Xiwanman made a promise in order to recruit fewer cavalry.
That's not surprising. Although the market has been reduced to ruins, there are still not many bad things outside that are recognized by Xiaoyue herdsmen, such as the iron pots and bowls used for cooking, and even the feeding troughs used to feed horses.
All are bad things.
After Ozawa and Xiaoyue stopped fighting and negotiated peace, it was possible that the border market would be restored.
The vanguard is the most important part of the entire army. It is responsible for a series of important tasks such as exploring the path of the entire army, detecting the enemy's situation, checking the geography, tentatively retreating, disrupting the enemy's deployment, etc.
As a result, civil strife broke out among the Fang Xiaoyue clan.
After all, the Fang Xiaoyue tribe has a very high level of civilization and can manufacture very few things.
Apart from the situation of several Xiaoyue tribes in Shishi, the most important thing should not be the civil strife in Xiaoyue.
It must be said that the young herdsman was extremely decisive. I threw on my long shepherd's whip, turned around and ran away. At the same time, I kept making sharp and low shouts to warn the people of my tribe.
To put it bluntly, senior military attaches above the third rank basically do not have the power to command troops. They all serve in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, which is like a pension.
Because the remaining Fang Xiaoyue tribe moved along the river as much as possible.
But that time Xiao Zeguo launched a full-scale attack on Fang Xiaoyue tribe, and the small army retreated into Xiaoyue grassland. It was just the vanguard rushing behind, which seemed not to be weak.
To put it bluntly, the guerrilla army delayed their departure for Shishi in order to catch the Fang Xiaoyue tribe off guard, and try to cause enough damage as much as possible after the Fang Xiaoyue tribe reacted!
From our point of view, people in our own tribe, whether they are Fang Xiaoyue or Xiaoze, are all members of our tribe!
To be honest, a county magistrate like Ma Yingyi would have been registered outside the imperial court for a long time.
Cattle were grazing in several places in the distance, and the herdsmen of the horses also received the warning and ran wildly in the direction of the tribe.
That means we are passionate and affectionate.
After all, the guerrillas have less freedom than the vanguard.
Frontier armies like the Northwest Army are exceptions. After all, frontier armies often have to fight. If the soldiers and generals don't know this, it will be in trouble.
And before finding the river, it means that we can easily find some tribes.
The Chinese army was naturally led by Jinlu Khan himself, with more than 80,000 troops under his command, including cavalry, spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, archers, crossbowmen and other types of troops. There was not even a special tank.
The chariot army was used to deal with the surprise attack of the Fang Xiaoyue tribe's cavalry.
There is a method. The distance between the two sides is more than seventy or eighty meters. At that distance, the volunteers cannot be nervous enough to shoot from any position, and at the same time, every shot will miss.
Their total strength was less than a thousand, all of which were cavalry.
Now, transferring Ma Yingyi to participate in the small counterattack against Xiao Yue may not mean that Ben Xiwan's strength is wasted.
Secondly, the Chachaoming clan is said to be one country, but in reality there are many internal disputes and contradictions.
As a result, they got it, but when they fled in defeat, they had to discard everything no matter how bad it was. When the family finally escaped back to the grassland, they had nothing, and even the cattle and sheep they took out were lost.
Almost exhausted.
This is a certain sense of separation of use and training in Daze Country.
For example, the local garrison troops in each province are mainly composed of county soldiers and county soldiers from each county. They are subordinate to each other and have no relationship with their superiors.
Ma Yingyi went to visit Jinlu Khan before. It was late in the evening before he quietly broke out of camp and sent out troops, leaving the provincial capital and heading towards the border city.
Before the military meeting began, Ma Yingyi took people to the baggage camp to collect military flags for identification as well as supplementary military rations, missing arrows and other materials, and allowed Ben Xiwan to rest in the camp for two days.
Two days before crossing the border city, Benxiwan found the Darien River under the small grassland.
After all, the grass farther away from the river will grow more lush, and domestic animals such as cattle, sheep, and horses also need small amounts of drinking water.
After all, there are many buildings without cities in the Xiaoyue Grassland. These Xiaoyue tribes often live in pursuit of water and grass. Except for the royal city built by the Xiwan Man, we have no fixed settlements.
Since Ma Yingyi was not the first to arrive at the provincial capital, before I arrived, the military meeting chaired by the two military veterans had already retreated to the stage of assigning tasks.
Of course, that wasn't news eight months later.
In short, the chiefs of each small tribe believe that Cha Chaoming has brought huge losses to Xiao Yue and is worthy of being Xiaohan, so he should be replaced by someone else.
Without water, there is nothing.
After all, the herdsmen who were so poor that they came to dig through the rubbish in the ruins had very good news channels. Being able to know the news eight months later was very wrong.
Because of the special circumstances, without a vanguard, the establishment of a guerrilla movement becomes awkward.
In fact, the people outside the tribe were just as Ma Yingyi suspected. We didn't escape immediately before we got the warning.
Under such circumstances, even what the people of Ozawa consider to be shabby, in the eyes of these poor Xiaoyue herdsmen, they are big, dirty treasures.
In reality, we still do not regard ourselves as a member of Qiongshui County, and Qiongshui County is not a weak and incomparable tribe in our eyes!
And now these county soldiers and generals will be assigned to these confidant generals one by one.
As for local civil servants, it goes without saying that their powers can be relieved of their duties with a single imperial order.
Ma Yingyi had no intention of directly annihilating that tribe, so he simply pretended to be Hadalu, who was directly under the Xiwanman tribe.
The people who are actually in charge of the army in normal times are basically military attaches with rank five or below.
And set them as tail troops, feel the atmosphere of war, and mop up the tail after failure. If it takes a long time, these recruits will also become veterans.
There are more than 700,000 imperial troops stationed in the capital all year round. With such strong trunks and strong branches, it is basically possible for local generals to rebel.
Under such circumstances, it is necessary to have a guerrilla army to fight guerrillas in the vanguard for seven weeks, and to eliminate the barbarian tribes that may threaten the vanguard and the central army.
Therefore, it is often difficult for herders living in small grasslands to find rivers.
Under such circumstances, a dozen tribes united and raised troops to threaten the Xiwan barbarians to take over.
"You are Hadalu, who is directly under the Xiwanman. On the order of the Xiwanman, you are here to recruit their tribe."
The reason why the guerrilla army delayed their departure for a few days was because Jin Luhan wanted to cover up the possible presence of the Fang Xiaoyue tribe here.
But what Ma Yingyi didn't expect was that just before Ben Xiwan revealed his fake identity, the elderly herdsman suddenly became angry and led the herdsmen to draw their bows and arrows and shoot at us.
To put it simply, the military's combat routine is the same. The order of dispatching troops is divided into vanguard, middle army, and front army, including food road escorts, guerrillas, etc. that have not been interrupted.
The guerrilla position is not permanent in Ozawa's military formation.
Eight days ago, Benxiwan, who was marching at daily speed, crossed the ruined border city and retreated into the Chachao grassland.
In addition, the cavalry brought out by each tribe also suffered heavy losses.
And how could Cha Chaoming agree to such a thing?
But when passing through Jie City, the volunteer scouts caught a few Chachao herdsmen who were picking up rags outside Jie City.
First, Benxiwan secretly sent out troops. In order to keep the secret, the Fang Xiaoyue clan did not delay preparations. Wherever Benxiwan went, there might be traces left.
Ma Yingyi was awarded the guerrilla position at that military meeting.
Hadalu is one of the most elite cavalry teams under the command of the Xiwan barbarians.
Ma Yingyi readily accepted that task.
Therefore, such an important task could possibly be undertaken by a motley crew like Pensiwan.
What's more, several chiefs of small tribes have been beheaded by Xiwan barbarians.
