After some conversation, Li Shushi roughly understood the situation of this operation.
It should be said that although Li Shushi had thought that this operation was likely to encounter great difficulties, it was only when the generals led their teams on the actual expedition that they truly felt that there were many more troubles than they imagined.
.
The first trouble they encountered was marching. Yes, marching turned out to be the first problem encountered by the troops heading north.
Because Li Shushi's action was completely personal, although the number of troops used was not large, it was still very troublesome to explain. Therefore, Li Shushi asked the troops to march in secret after leaving Xihe, so as not to be discovered by soldiers and civilians nearby.
This was not only to avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles, but also to train the skills of the troops and accumulate experience for future battles. After all, Li Shushi knew very well that after the collapse of the Han Dynasty's rule, it would be difficult for Xihe to survive alone in the melee between various forces.
Such an order is not too troublesome for military generals like Lu Bu and Hua Xiong. Although not many people in the army have similar experiences, with the prestige of the generals, the soldiers can easily execute the orders. But for people like
It's more troublesome for guys like Zhao Yun who are still considered novices. Even though Lu Bu led the army to demonstrate for two days in the early stages of the march, it is easier said than done. When it comes to actually practicing it, he will still make a lot of jokes.
.
Although I don't know what the specific situation is, if a brave and careful guy like Zhao Yun is not that good, then other little guys like Qian Zhao can also imagine their sad faces.
The concealed army avoids the soldiers and civilians along the way and ensures that one's own side is not discovered to the greatest extent. This can not only be solved by staying day and night, but also includes the selection of routes, the determination of rest points and other march-related matters.
It's a science. You have to know that if you don't do it secretly enough, you'll be marching at night.
Too much noise will also wake up sleeping birds, and then be discovered by the mountain people. As the northern border of the Han Dynasty, the scattered mountain people are actually part of the Han Dynasty's border defense system. Experienced generals will organize them
, monitor at any time whether there are foreigners from the north sneaking into the hinterland of the Han Dynasty.
What I have to admit is that Lu Bu and Cheng Lian, who were once horse thieves and robbers, are experts in this area. Even Cao Xing, who was born in Orion, cannot match these two habitual criminals in some aspects.
It is estimated that these skills were also developed when the two men led their subordinates to hide in the East, and the biggest victim was our Gao Shun children's shoes.
"Tell me how you two feel about your trip north this time. I'm also a little mentally prepared."
Although the number of soldiers killed in this operation is not that surprising, and the losses in each of the two battles in Xihe far exceeded this one, the reason why it caused such a big shock was because of participating in this sortie.
soldiers.
In the order of the ancient army, especially after the emergence of stirrups, high bridge saddles and horseshoes, with the exception of a few arms, the cavalry can be said to be a well-deserved treasure in the army. Especially in the vast flatlands of the north, the power of the cavalry is even more...
times magnification.
The soldiers who went out this time were carefully selected, and all of them can be said to be the elite of Xihe County soldiers. Especially those Xiliang cavalry who were not selected as Li Shushi's personal guard, they are a symbol of honor and strength.
Due to the victory of the two defensive battles in Xihe, especially the successful killing of the Xianbei Chanyu Helian, the Xihe army and the people have a high expectation for the Xihe County soldiers. And those elites who have chosen from thousands of people will undoubtedly put this expectation into practice.
Pushed to the top.
But what was the result? Nearly two thousand people went out, and less than a thousand came back. Even when they came back, everyone was worried about it, and the image was in a mess. Except for the fact that there were more war horses around than when they went out, basically everything was less than when they went out.
.
As the saying goes: As deep as love is, as deep as hate is, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The tragedy of the returning soldiers obviously stimulated the soldiers and civilians of Xihe, and made the people who were originally proud of the soldiers of Xihe County have doubts about the strength of this army.
Doubt. At the same time, it also made them doubt their originally stable life. They began to doubt whether the army around them could protect them.
Although Li Shushi and his staff team had not considered the occurrence of this situation, it was obvious that the situation was worse than they imagined. No, maybe in the eyes of old foxes like Jia Xu and Yan Zhong, they had already expected it.
But this
As long as these old foxes don't involve their own safety, they usually won't do anything to argue for. Just like Jia Xu, he gave a casual reminder beforehand, and then saw no reaction from others and stopped saying anything. Anyway,
He has fulfilled his duty.
No, to a certain extent, his approach can even make the master pay more attention to his opinions afterwards, thereby improving his status in the eyes of the master. This is obviously not just a way of self-protection in order to retreat.
Is there any reason to enter?
"If I talk about my impressions, the biggest impression is that if we fight in the wild, unless we have a good ambush opportunity, we will be at a huge disadvantage if we fight in person. The opponent's mounted archery level is very high, although the arrows used
The arrow power is not as powerful as ours, but the production level of riding bows is probably slightly better than ours. With their equestrian skills, they don’t even have to fight us face to face, as long as they are at a certain distance
Just shoot arrows from a distance. If we weren't following some civil servants who could impose certain restrictions on the other side or gain certain benefits on our side, I'm afraid it wouldn't be impossible for us to be killed alive by them. This should be us
The biggest problem in fighting aliens is that at least if those alien soldiers are trained in my hands for half a year and become obedient and behave in an orderly manner, there will be no one on the grassland who can defeat them."
Whether in his youth or after joining the Bingzhou Army, Lu Bu frequently fought against grassland peoples. Therefore, he has the best eyesight among all generals in terms of experience and experience. Therefore, he can often make changes that are most beneficial to his own side based on the enemy's actions.
To achieve the purpose of reducing casualties and increasing the winning rate. This is a talent, and it is also due to his rich experience.
"Then our opponents have no solution? Then we can only sit back and wait for them to go south every year?"
"It is indeed more difficult. The biggest flaw of our opponents is their discipline. Often when the size of the army is large, the opponent's command becomes less flexible. If our generals have enough vision, they will find many ways to do it.
It is a flaw to use. However, as the number of warring parties decreases, the density of the battlefield becomes smaller, and the conflicts and chaos caused by the opponent's many disorderly movements will be reduced. That is, if the quality of a single unit is not as good as that of the opponent, it will be very difficult for us.
It’s hard to get much advantage.”
"What about the civilian troops? Can they make up for some of our shortcomings? Didn't you just say that the civilian troops who went north this time reduced a lot of battle losses for our troops?"
"It's possible, but it's doubtful that apart from those lunatics in riding, the bodies of the other civil servants among us Han people can withstand the harsh environment on the grasslands and the bumps caused by rapid transfers."
Although Li Shushi wanted to refute, but after thinking about Guo Fengxiao's death, Li Shushi had to admit that although the physical fitness of the scribes in the Han Dynasty was far better than that after the Song Dynasty, the physical fitness of most guys who read all day long was obviously not that high.
go.
Marching is hard, because it is so boring. Marching in a hurry is even harder, because the creatine produced alone can make most people lie down and not have to think about getting up for a long time. Although war horses can reduce
The rider's fatigue, but that's also relative - I didn't look at those people who were doing it
The guys in the Huaqian will also feel physically and mentally exhausted, so let alone the war horses without shock absorbers. Didn't you read what Liu Bei said? Just because he hasn't ridden a horse for a long time, he has gained weight. From this, it can be seen that riding a horse is
A very effective way to lose weight. Since you can lose weight, you would think that you would definitely consume less.
Of course, this situation is limited to the Han people, or even most Han people. For the grassland peoples, this is not a problem at all. After all, those shamans and witch doctors used to hunt like other children when they were young.
, in the fights, except for a few guys whose physical fitness is really not good enough to meet guests, they all fought well. Only those alien civil servants who have been in high positions for a long time and have aged will experience a decline in physical function. Young people, all
Very energetic.
Of course, the same situation applies to those from the border areas who have received strict training since childhood. Although they have switched to civil service occupations, they have a good foundation. However, most of these people have entered the Qinglong Shrine, which is what Lu Bu said and Li Shushi regarded as "madmen"
.
"This is easy to handle. Cao Ling will remember that from now on, the civil servants under your command will have to find a fixed time to train with the soldiers every day. It doesn't matter how good their martial arts are, as long as they have enough physical fitness.
Yeah, life lies in movement
In addition, the diet should also be adjusted. If possible, let the soldiers eat more meat, such as increasing the rewards in the army. Of course, you and Zhongde should discuss the specific situation, live within your means, and don't act too hastily.
.”
"Yeah, I understand." "If the army maintains its current size, it shouldn't cause much trouble."
"By the way, Wenhe, don't look around with your eyes. You are also included in the training." Li Shushi said that he held a grudge.
Regarding Li Shushi's "punishment", Jia Xu could only hold his nose and admit it. It seemed that his sense of presence was still too strong, otherwise why would the lord think of him all of a sudden? Jia Xu continued to summarize the lessons of his failure.
.
"Okay Wen He, stop mumbling. Let's talk about what those guys on the grassland think of our action. Will they become so angry that they go south together to share their grievances with each other?" This is what Li Shushi is most worried about.
question.
"The Tuoba Tribe has been wiped out, and the Rilu Deduction Department has left its pasture again. The wolves on the grassland will probably have to fight for the inheritance left by these two tribes for a while. The Lord's actions are not big, and most of the losses are
For some small and medium-sized tribes, in the absence of a common leader, such problems are very difficult for them.
Obviously it was just scabies. However, the lord's actions also reminded them, so Xu thought maybe they would make a gesture this year. After all, they didn't want their backyard to catch fire. But there was a bias, Hu
It is not easy for people to enter Xihe, so my lord, there is no need to worry too much."
"Only when mistakes are discovered can they be corrected. I think you all have your own experience of the army's next training methods and goals. So I hope everyone can speak freely tomorrow. The face you lose will always be regained one day. Yes.
No, Zilong."
"What my lord said is absolutely true!"
The expression on Zhao Yun's face at this moment was completely different from his usual ferociousness. It seemed that the honest man had been greatly stimulated this time.
p.s. The European Cup final tomorrow morning. I think of the World Cup six years ago. The Football Association also took action before the start, and Germany was eliminated in the semi-finals. Will the result be the same? Although history is always an amazing coincidence, history is not simple either.
Repeat. However, if we look at the performance in the group stage, Spain seems to have a slight advantage...
p.s. I will update the same rules tomorrow. I hope I will have good results next week...
