Chapter 382: Jungle Warfare

There were so many smart people who were as smart as Wang Zhen this night, but everyone pretended to be confused. Just think about these things in your mind, and you must not discuss them.

After winter began, there was a light snow, and the sky was gloomy and refused to snow heavily.

There are many fewer refugees on the mountain, and Macheng is unable to solve the food, clothing, housing and transportation of tens of thousands of refugees. They can only let refugees walk in groups to the Great Wall and go to the Yongping area of ​​Luanzhou to resettle. Macheng is not a saint, and it is impossible to use military rations to support the refugees. Who is it?

I don’t know how long this battle will take, so military ration reserves will be particularly important. As for the cotton-coated mountain, there are many cotton armor stripped from the bodies of the enfeoffed soldiers, and the skins of cattle, sheep and horses that can keep the cold. In this way, tens of thousands of people

He was grateful and had more than 20,000 civilians who assisted the army in fighting, and were all organized into auxiliary soldiers by Macheng.

After a light snow, it was cold and the army could not move even if it wanted to move the soldiers.

However, the officials of various battalions were unwilling to be lonely and became more and more diligent in ambushing. Ma Cheng also let it go, and it was excellent to keep the troops alive. Although the people kept diversion to Luanzhou, the people gathered over mountains and ridges.

There are still more and more people, making Laiyuanlou crowded, the weather is cold, and it is impossible to hide in the mountains. I don’t know how many people die in the mountains and become food for wild animals. The enemy’s army is reluctant to leave in the pass, and the people are the ones who are unlucky.

The people hid in the mountains from autumn to winter, but the enemy army still did not leave, and many people froze to death.

In winter, the handsome camp is as warm as spring.

Lu Xiangsheng was very angry and resented Ma Cheng: "The so-called famous religion is to govern the country and pacify the world, and the other is to sage the inner and outer kings. Isn't it great!"

Ma Cheng said calmly: "Since it is the study of the king of the outside world, it is the study of governance. If you don't ask questions about nature or ask about life, isn't that narrow-minded?"

Lu Xiangsheng was refuted and was speechless for a moment. Ma Cheng felt proud that this was the Confucian paradox summarized by two talented women in the family, Yu Fengjun and Liu Zihua. He also asked Lu Jinshi. These two little girls were

It's really cruel. This is not what I look for Confucianism from the root, it's too cruel.

Ma Cheng said proudly: "Governing the country and pacifying the world, and sages inside and kings outside are nothing more than the study of governing the country. However, there are knowledge everywhere in the world. Buddhism calls a flower and a world, and Taoism says Tao follows nature. The world, nature is not

Have you learned it? Come on, you, Hanlin official, would you tell me, is your famous teaching a narrow-minded learning?"

Lu Xiangsheng was speechless, and left with a blushing face and angrily, and even slammed the door heavily.

Ma Cheng was even more proud. He could win a Hanlin even when he debated. Young Master, I am also a talented person. He took over the research results of his wives and concubines without hesitation. Is Confucianism a narrow-minded study of governing the country? Lu Xiangsheng would not recognize it even if he was beaten to death.

This argument directly points to the weakness of Confucianism, which is itself a paradox.

The door opened and the cold blew in.

Two beautiful maids came in from outside with food boxes and half-kneeled on the ground to arrange the food. These two were women in distress found by the personal sentry officer Li Zhengming. They were innocent and well-behaved. They served Macheng.

I feel much more comfortable. Ma Cheng asked himself that he was not a saint who could not be pure and weak, and he was happy that someone would be there to serve him. Seeing the two well-behaved maids tasted the food and tried the poison, Ma Cheng smiled, Li Zhengming didn't have such a wonderful thought, most of them

It was the idea of ​​the pretty lady in his family.

Ma Cheng has no disgust for this subordinate who is so lucky that he explodes. Only those who are lucky can live long. People with some luck in the war are not idle people. This thing is really evil, who doesn't want to.

Keep a good luck person by your side. That pretty lady has some knowledge, and Li Zhengming is also lucky to marry her. The official lady is inevitably infected with some official habits and has a lot of thoughts, but Ma Cheng doesn't hate her.

She is so beautiful that such people are always likable, for example, she finds these two beautiful maids.

Among the subordinates, there are also some who have an affair with women among refugees. Ma Cheng doesn't mind. If you like it, you will marry him. Of course, this is the privilege of the officials. The soldiers are strictly prohibited from getting married. Ma Cheng asked himself that he was a human being.

Seven emotions and six desires, and love between men and women can make their subordinates vent negative emotions. If people hold on to the mountain for a long time, they will cause trouble. Do they bring a group of ascetic monks to fight with the enemy soldiers? Ma Cheng asked himself that he didn't have this ability.

There are also some secret prostitutes in the mountains, and the officials of various departments also turn a blind eye. Ma Cheng also has to admit that these secret prostitutes are beneficial to releasing pressure on the army. In the Ming Dynasty, will a large army of Puritans be trained without desires?

It was impossible. After lunch, I went to the bedroom to take a nap. The two women followed in a very obedient manner. After a while, a woman gasped in the room, but the personal soldiers outside were still expressionless and their waists were straight.

.

Afternoon, front line.

Ma Cheng was refreshed and observed the official road at Xifengkou with a thousand-mile mirror. The figures swayed on the hillside on the west side of the official road. It was the Ming people who were rushing to cut down trees and built roads.

Natural danger, Ma Cheng sighed, no natural danger in this world that cannot be conquered.

The trees on the western mountain have almost been cut down, and only the bare rocks and loess are left. How many people have the enemy soldiers used to cut trees and build roads? It's less than 100,000. How efficient is the 100,000 people to cut trees? Look at the bare ones on the opposite side.

You will know the so-called natural danger. If the trees are gone, this is still a bullshit natural danger. The barbarian army built a mountain road on the back slope, so the cannon naturally could not hit the back slope. The winding mountain road leads directly to Zunhua. Along the way are corpses that cannot be calculated by the number of people from the Ming Dynasty.

.

This is a road made of corpses of Ming people. It is so urgent that the barbarian army cannot do anything.

The Great Wall was built, and the Ming Dynasty still built countless military forts in the mountains. It was easy to do it by just opening a few mountain roads. The army of the barbarians not only drove the Ming people to cut down trees and build roads, but also built them on the west side.

There were some defensive facilities and various mechanisms for rolling stones and wood trapping. Haoge was also very smart. The enemy army was both cruel and treacherous. The stupid officials, ministers and ministers in the Ming Dynasty court.

Even Yuan Chonghuan complained in private messages, and was forced to fight by the emperor and the elders every day. It was so hard. Macheng was a little gloating. Is it so easy to govern the world's troops? There are reckless and irritable emperors, a group of people

The masters who know how to intrigue have soldiers from various provinces, and they don’t know how much trouble they have every day. They have to listen to the emperor’s words and the ministers’ words. Maybe one day the commander Yuan will be driven crazy.

The supervisor suffered in Beijing, but Ma Cheng was not idle either. He took the time to organize the mountain warfare into a book and let his subordinates study and implement it. The mountain warfare was learned in the military academy, and it just came in handy now.

It has been sorted into seven tactics and compiled into combat manuals.

It is convenient for hidden gathering and secretly meeting enemies, and achieve sudden combat.

It is convenient for widespread implementation of roundabout encirclement, interspersed division, and annihilation of the enemy in close combat.

It facilitates light infantry and squad activities and conducts guerrilla operations.

It is convenient to defend by risk, curb key points, and save troops.

Easy to conceal configuration and maneuver, to carry out ambush and attacks.

It is convenient to use local materials to build fortifications, set up obstacles, and make simple equipment.

It is convenient to collect wild food and overcome short-term recharge difficulties.

These seven mountain warfare techniques in later generations were compiled into a text. Lu Xiangsheng and Ni Yuanlu praised them very much. They regarded them as a classic that must be learned by military strategists, and wrote a lot in the Ma family's military theory. After implementing them specifically, Ma Cheng also has a set of actions.

The effective mountain warfare is to fight mountain wars to detour, encircle and make breakthroughs in multiple ways.

For the main breakthrough direction, concentrate troops three to five times or even more advantageous. The main breakthrough direction is usually chosen in places where the opponent is negligent in defense and has a stake in the entire defense, so that it is easy to concentrate troops to attack the main target and facilitate the expansion of combat results. There are usually two attacks.

To three directions, each direction can have two to three military routes, but there must be main directions and main military routes to form a focused multi-way siege deployment.
