The front line led troops to fight directly, including lieutenant generals and commanders such as Dai Yaxin, and major generals and division commanders such as Deng Weifang, not to mention a large number of brigade generals and colonels, etc.

There is no need for an army general to lead his troops to fight. If you really want to do this, you will not let the Tatars laugh to death, and they will laugh at the fact that there is no one in the Tang Dynasty.

The role of a big boss like the Army is to sit in the rear, formulate a grand strategic direction, and get enough supplies and support from the rear. As for those who implement difficult tactics, they naturally lead Yaxi and Deng Weifang.

As for Lu Yuzhi, the previous one, he was more inclined to lead troops to fight, rather than staying in the rear.

This kind of behavior is actually a bit unpleasant, it is to compete with subordinates for their merits.

Moreover, he did not do his job properly and did not get enough support from the rear, so many front-line generals were quite resentful during the years when General Lu Yu served as the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Army.

You are all an army general, and you are still stolen by the limelight with us major generals and lieutenant generals. You are shameless.

Moreover, as the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Army, he could not obtain enough support from the rear, resulting in poor supply to the front-line troops and sometimes even short of soldiers and food.

Therefore, although General Lu Yu became popular in the Western Regions and his military achievements seemed to be great, he was finally transferred back to Jinling City for retirement.

The main reason is that the army has too much opinions on him and impeached him every few days. Li Xuan was also following the situation when he saw this. In order to balance the army, Li Xuan also wanted to avoid letting an army boss take charge of the army outside the frontier for a long time, and he would not lose his tail.

So, after taking over the Western Regions, General Lu Yu was under pressure from the army, and the Holy Emperor had no intention of keeping him, so he consciously resigned and returned to Beijing to recuperate.

Then there was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and the army tycoon Fang Xi served as the second commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Army. However, Fang Xi was relatively low-key and more modest in office. His main record was to lead the army to capture the southwestern region of Central Asia.

Later, General Gu Zhishu was transferred to serve as the third commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Army.

General Gu Zhishu is a completely opposite to General Lu Yu. After he came, he did not lead the troops to fight the war himself, but instead stayed in the rear. In addition to formulating a strategy, he also ran to Jinling City every few days. Whenever there was something good behind him, he wanted to get the Western Expedition Army.

Otherwise, the Western Expedition Army would not have become the first army to be equipped with Minni rifles and 100 mm front-mounted rifled guns.

In this regard, the generals in the Western Expedition Army had a great impression of General Gu Zhishu!

When it comes to this, I can’t help but feel respect.

He does not seize credit, does not interfere in the detailed tactics of the front-line troops, and also makes things from the rear to the front line. Such superiors are good superiors.

Dai Yaxin and the others naturally had a great favor for General Gu Zhishu and reciprocate their favors. They worked very hard when fighting, and often deliberately held General Gu Zhishu. Once they had any achievements, they said that Gu Zhishu was good at leading the army.

Therefore, although Gu Zhishu ran to Jinling City every few days, he had no military achievements at all, and the army also had a relatively high evaluation of him.

At least there was no such thing as Lu Yuzhi and Fang Xitong as commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition Army before, there were always continuous impeachment.

Lu Yuzhi was impeached because he was not doing his job with his subordinates, which led to the hardships of the Western Expedition Army.

Fang Xitong was impeached because of her poor ability. Who doesn’t know that this person can get up because he kneels down and licks the Holy Emperor.

When I arrived at the front line, I didn’t do anything all day long. I knew that I would write a memorial to Jinling City to praise the Holy Emperor. I didn’t make a good decision on the strategy and relied entirely on the staff team. I also liked to intervene randomly and command remotely.

I almost suffered several losses.

After this, the frontline generals naturally don’t like him.

The generals who can lead troops and fight on the Central Asian front, whether they are generals or school officials, all have their own backgrounds.

For example, Major General Ying Yikang, who has been leading the front line for a long time and is currently the deputy chief of staff of the Western Expedition Army, was previously the commander of the 31st Infantry Division, but later, after the 31st Infantry Division was rotated back, he continued to stay in the Northwest to serve.

First he served as the commander of the rotation of the 9th Infantry Division, and then he was transferred to the Western Expedition Army as deputy chief of staff.

Although the military rank has not changed, even people without a sense of political smell can see that they are steadily accumulating qualifications and climbing up step by step.

Is it possible that no one is behind such a person?

Hao Bonian is his biggest backer. Not only Hao Bonian, but even Li Chunjing admires him quite well.

You should know that Hao Bonian and Li Chunjing have always been mortal enemies. It is not easy to be able to win the praise and support of these two mortal enemies at the same time.

Without these two bigwigs personally supporting him, he wouldn't have been staying in the northwest for several years and climbing higher and higher.

Others, regardless of whether they have made meritorious contributions or not, have basically been transferred back in one or two years.

After all, the front line is limited, so you can't come if you occupy others. A large number of generals within the army are waiting to come to the Central Asian front line to gain credit.

Therefore, the front-line generals who can fight in Central Asia for a long time are basically supported by people. Even if they are just rotated, they are not ordinary generals. Ordinary generals cannot get the opportunity to gilt the front-line.

Therefore, the dissatisfaction of the front-line generals is actually easily reflected and is learned by the army bosses in Jinling City.

General Lu Yuzhi and General Fang Xi were both fucked like this, but Gu Zhishu is now quite popular with front-line generals.

Dai Yaxin also knew that Lord Gu was trying to get a batch of rifled guns afterwards recently.

Now the Navy is the first to equip the rear-mounted rifled guns, so the Army will naturally not fall behind. It is already the army's imperial artillery manufacturer. Tianjin Guns and Cannon Factory has stepped up the development of the army's rear-mounted rifled guns.

Especially medium-caliber field artillery, it is the top priority. The Tianjin Guns and Cannon Factory has already launched the research and development of rear-mounted rifled artillery for the army, including 75mm field artillery, 85mm rear-mounted field artillery, and 100mm rear-mounted field artillery.

Artillery with larger caliber is difficult and probably won't be able to be used in a short period of time.

However, short-barrel howitzers with smaller caliber are relatively simple in research and development and production. The 75 mm and 16 times the tube of the howitzers have been designed and have now begun small-scale trial production.

According to the old rules, the first batch of artillery must be used first for the Guards, and the next is the Army equipment.

Lord Gu has set his sights on this 75mm howitzer that has begun trial production on a small scale, and wants to get it to Central Asia as soon as the Army starts equipment.

There are many troops in the Western Expedition Army, not to mention that this was originally an artillery of the infantry division, and it was difficult for the cavalry troops to be equipped.

But Dai Yaxin thought to see if he could get a batch of them to use at that time. No need to have more, just get one of the eighteen gates of the camp.

However, it is a matter of the future to install rifled guns afterwards. Now, they can only use front-mounted rifled guns, and even even front-mounted rifled guns, there are not many, only two battalions in total.

It has to be said that because the front-mounted rifled gun appeared relatively late, and the technical gap between the rear-mounted rifled guns was not large, the rear-mounted rifled gun appeared just a few years ago, making the front-mounted rifled gun a transitional product and there was no much equipment at all.

If there is too much equipment, it will probably have to be eliminated and replaced within a few years. Therefore, the Army is quite conflicted with the front-mounted rifled guns, and in the end, only the equipment is used as a transitional weapon.

In this way, the large number of artillery in the army are actually old-style front-mounted smoothbore cannons.

Fortunately, the Tatars' artillery were also smoothbore guns, and the number was not as large as theirs, and the performance was not as good as theirs. Therefore, the Tang Army still had an absolute advantage in artillery.

Not to mention, at least there are more than 30 front-mounted rifled guns in charge.

Lieutenant General Dai Ya has decided to teach these Tatars a good lesson, how should cavalry fight in infantry!

Before teaching these Tatars, he also learned how to fight in the infantry war!

Because he understands it half well!

At this time, the staff system of the Tang Army highlighted its huge role.

Dai Yaxin and a large number of cavalry division commanders were not good at, and they didn’t even know how to fight infantry wars.

There is a consultant!

The staff system of the Tang Army is very complete. The military headquarters, division headquarters and regiment headquarters all have a complete staff team. The staff team originally provides various tactical suggestions, so they often do not only arrange the same type of staff talents, but also arrange different types of staff.

Some are good at artillery battles, some are good at cavalry battles, some are good at maneuver warfare, some are good at baggage supply, some are good at engineering, and some are good at infantry tactics.

Although many staff members in the First Cavalry Army were good at infantry and artillery warfare and did not have many staff members in engineering, they had them.

Dai Yaxin also transferred several of the better ones to the General Staff of the Military Department to formulate detailed defensive tactics, and he himself took the opportunity to learn how to fight in the infantry war.

Dai Yaxin can still cram the Buddha for a moment, but Wulihan has to be blind.

They were not without infantry and artillery in the Jin Dynasty of Tatar, nor were they without various talents who were good at infantry, artillery warfare and defense operations. But to be honest, most of these talents were concentrated on the Western and Southwest lines and fought against the Europeans.

In Central Asia, cavalry is the main one, and there are not even many infantry and artillery, so the generals are naturally the main ones.

A few Tatar generals who were good at infantry and artillery warfare were also leading 20,000 to 30,000 infantry and artillery warfare in the rear, and did not follow him.

If this came here, it would be a maneuvering distance of hundreds of kilometers. It was too far for the infantry and artillerymen. I guess they were discovered by the Nan Tang barbarians halfway through the way, and then sent cavalry to raid.

What should I do if there are no relevant talents?

Nonsense, naturally, I’m going to bite the bullet!

It’s impossible to stop eating pork without Mr. Zhang, right? Even if they are pigs with hair, they won’t dislike it.

Therefore, a large number of cavalry generals from the Jin Dynasty, such as Wulihan, were facing four or five kilometers ahead, and the Southern Tang barbarians built a defensive position on the edge of the nameless lake.
