Chapter 523 Strategy
Baturhun took the throne of the leader, and the leaders below slowly realized that something was wrong. He used the war to erode everyone's power, but the leader's power became increasingly greater.
If he doesn't listen to him, he will be taken out alone to resist the Chinese army. The leaders of each tribe swallowed the bitter fruits he had caused with hatred, and watched the Junggar tribe step by step above them.
The Jingbei Army was advancing slowly, and they needed enough time to ensure the safety of the occupied areas, because this place would be their food route in the future.
Xia Wanchun asked for steady action and step by step, which went against Yan Yingyuan's idea. Yan Yingyuan wanted to quickly capture several big cities in Junggar and paralyze their national system.
This is the experience of fighting Manchus. After Chenyang took it down, the Manchus scattered all over the place became a piece of loose sand and were defeated without any attack.
Xia Wanchun was in the desert for a long time, so of course he knew that this idea would not work. First of all, there is no central system for the nomadic peoples on the grassland. They gathered together and were a soldier. As long as Baturhun was alive, he could gather an army at any time.
Moreover, the consequence of the rash advance is that the scattered soldiers and scramblers everywhere in the west of the Moon. At that time, the supplies, food and food will become the meat on others' boards, and transporting food will be a disguised enemy.
In the desert, the Jingbei Army had considerable voice, and the support of Yang Zhan and Zhang Huangyan gave Xia Wanchun the confidence to debate with Yan Yingyuan.
On the battlefield, no one can be arbitrary and will not listen to any opinions. Because this matter is unparalleled, a small miscalculation may lead to the death of hundreds of thousands of people.
Yan Yingyuan lowered his head and thought, and recognized the disadvantages proposed by Xia Wanchun from his heart, but he also had his own ideas. If Baturhun was allowed to continue to develop like this, the strength of Junggar would become stronger and stronger. Because it is impossible to advance long distances in the western desert. There are deserts and no-man's land everywhere, and countless herders will become enemies, and it will cost huge national strength to advance step by step for the camp. There is also a Rakshasa Kingdom that will participate in the war at any time.
The battle in the west of the desert is destined to be unrestrained. The final glory of the nomadic people is not comparable to those miscellaneous fish in Southeast Asia.
On the plateau, many soldiers had altitude sickness, and headaches were the most common symptom, often caused by pain on the forehead and bitemporal areas, especially at night, there were constant wailing sounds in the camp.
Even the students from the best medical museums shook their heads and were helpless. The Jingbei Army was fine, and those soldiers from the south were particularly prone to illness.
Xia Wanchun looked at the people in the tent, listened to Yan Yingyuan's words and nodded frequently, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we cannot be greedy for merit and advance. When the Duke of Qi entered Linzi or retreated to Huai'an, it was because it was a taboo for military strategists to go deep into the army. These Junggars could not defeat them and rode on horseback, so our terrain was not familiar with them and could not chase them at all. At that time, they would probably be attacked repeatedly and were helpless. Over time, they would be exhausted and easily defeated."
Yan Yingyuan was not angry at all because of the words of his younger generation. His mind was also on the war. Xia Wanchun said objectively. These people were all people with a family, country and the world. He pondered: "In this case, there is only one way, that is, transport soldiers who are suffering from mountain diseases back to the nine borders of Shaanxi and Gansu to transport grain, and be responsible for the things in the rear. I led my troops to advance step by step, and the Jingbei Army had many cavalry, and could attack from all sides and annihilate the main force of the enemy. After the battle, we withdrew our front line and constantly eroded the resistance of Junggar."
This is a temporary measure, which is faster than Xia Wanchun's erosion step by step, but it will not destroy a country in just a few months like Nanyang.
The desert is filled with a large banner. For thousands of years, people have been emerging, crossing the Great Wall to kill and loot. It is worth it to completely solve this matter even if it takes decades.
Yang Zhan's Sichuan soldiers were actually very good at adapting to the desert. They trained in the Wulianghai in Jingbei for half a year and were equipped with many war horses under their command. They had long wanted to test the combat power of the cavalry. Hearing this, he stood up and said, "The Duke of the Fuguo is very good. I think it's best to do this. Our Sichuan soldiers can attack."
"First, build Hami, make a bridgehead, and see what skills they have to take back!"
-----
Hami spans north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, with forests, grasslands, snow-capped mountains and glaciers all the way. The Hami Basin in the south of the mountain is an oasis on the alluvial plain, surrounded by the majestic Gobi desert.
In addition to the delicious melons, this place is also very important in its geographical location. It is located at the junction of Junggar and Jingbei, and can be used as a place to store grain and troops.
Most of the buildings in Hami are made of local materials and are built with sand and soil, even the local wealthy families are no exception. The architectural style of the houses of Chu Hur Ubash, the Junggar general who guarded Hami, is very different from that of the Central Plains. The courtyard circle is extremely large, but the surroundings are only half a person-high sand and soil walls, and you can see everything in the courtyard from afar.
As soon as you enter the mansion, you will see a long corridor facing you. The corridor is just a wooden frame, covered with vines, and ripe grapes hang in bunches between the branches and leaves, heavy, red sandalwood, and tempting drool.
Chu Huer Ubash was wearing a robe with black edges on white cloth, a round-edged hat, and a string of necklaces made of unknown material hanging around his neck. He set up a felt blanket and futon in front of him, and a few small tables with fine wine, meat and fruits on the tables. The Junggar nobles of Hami gathered here. Under the pressure of the soldiers, the pressure from Wulianghai had already made them breathless.
Chu Huer Ubash had a deep eye socket and looked a little sinister. After looking around, he said, "The Han people have arrived in Hami. This was once the territory they robbed. The traitors conferred by the beggar emperor Zhu Yuanzhang ruled Hami for a hundred years. Now they are going to start a war again. We are not the soft khalkhas, and our territory is never allowed to be affected by others."
Several nobles on the side looked at each other and felt that this person was crazy about gaining and losing his mind. He was not ready to withdraw and retreated to the west of the Gobi Desert to avoid the Han people's edge. He was still thinking about fighting with them.
If a million troops were placed there, how could they fight to the death? They were flattened with Hami's sand walls in just a few shots.
If you can win a battle by saying some passionate words, this kid is a good guy.
Chu Huer Uba glanced around with a sinister look, and saw everyone's reactions. He said coldly: "The war is coming, and I will not drag my brother down. If anyone fights a war and becomes a coward to escape, I will kill him first and then fight the Han people to a decisive battle."
