Chapter 1575 This is the gap of more than a thousand years
In five days, Li Shentong led the main force of 100,000 elite troops on the North Road of the Li Army, and had completed setting up camp around Wang Junlin's camp, trapping more than 10,000 Far Eastern troops led by Wang Junlin, and pretending not to kill Wang Junlin.
Death will never withdraw the troops.
While building the camp, Li Shentong led his army to provoke them every day, and tried every means to lure the Far Eastern Army out of the camp to charge and fight.
However, the Far Eastern Army could not get out.
Because of the painful losses the Li Army suffered when they attacked the Far Eastern Army camp on the first day, Li Shentong did not let the army attack the Far Eastern Army camp for a while. Apparently, he was thinking of a new method, or he was waiting for someone to come from Shuozhou City.
Some equipment was brought.
"Perhaps Li Shentong thought that even if he couldn't break through our camp, as long as it was surrounded, our food and grass would eventually run out and we could be consumed to death. But in his mind, as long as I die, the other routes will fail.
They are not worth mentioning, so he is letting Luo Shixin and Wu Si go about consolidating Luliang County and Xinkou County. But he doesn't know that the food and grass stored in our camp can feed our more than 10,000 horses.
Last three months, and three months is enough for us to complete the first phase of the plan." Wang Junlin came out of the commander's tent, used his binoculars to take a look at the 10,000 Li Jiajun cavalry who came to provoke him from a distance, and then talked to
Shen Guoer entered the tent while talking.
…………
…………
The morning light has appeared, and the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army in Wang Junlin's camp walked out of the tent one after another at the sound of the meal horn. They took the bowls and chopsticks in groups to serve the steaming mutton that the Huotou soldiers had just cooked in the morning.
Steamed buns in soup.
Even for ordinary soldiers, there are several pieces of mutton in the soup. In this era, this is already an excellent meal for ordinary people. Unless there is a festive event or the Chinese New Year, they generally cannot eat it.
So everyone had a great time eating.
In Wang Junlin's opinion, even half of the morale comes from good food, so under his promotion, the Far East Army attaches great importance to food.
According to the relevant regulations of the Far Eastern Army's wartime military camps, there are "nine prohibitions and eighteen executions" in the military, which include prohibitions on making loud noises, laughter and playing, etc.
However, this mainly means that during wartime or at night, Far East Army soldiers can speak appropriately when resting and eating.
Therefore, the Far Eastern Army camp was not completely silent at this time. From time to time there was the sound of suppressed laughter.
In Wang Junlin's view, this rule is excellent. When soldiers are nervous during war, they should always keep a tightrope and relax appropriately, which will help maintain the morale of the troops.
A few days later, on the battlefield of the Far Eastern Army camp where Wang Junlin was located, the corpses of Li Shentong's soldiers and horses were specially ordered by Wang Junlin to pile up into a low wall. After pouring water on it, they all froze into popsicles and turned into ice sticks.
This is another line of defense to prevent Li Jiajun from attacking the Far Eastern Army camp.
After Wang Junlin had dinner, he inspected the camp surrounded by Shen Guoer, several soldiers, and several councilors.
All snow in the camp must be cleaned up at dawn and piled up to the edge of the camp. After watering, it forms a wall of ice and snow to avoid affecting movement in the camp, especially large siege equipment.
promotion.
Wang Junlin walked out of the camp,
When I came to the trench at the front, I saw many different arrows stuck in the earthen pass in front of the trench.
Yesterday, the Li Jiajun dispatched 30,000 infantrymen and attacked forward with shields. When they were a hundred paces away, they were thrown. However, the steel plate armor and helmets of the Far East Army were too defensive, except for a few who were shot in the eyes.
Apart from that, there was almost no damage. On the contrary, the Li family's army suffered many casualties under the Far Eastern Army's trebuchets, giant guns, crossbows, steel string bows and other powerful weapons, and finally retreated to their camp in embarrassment.
The arrows of the Li Jiajun are naturally different from those of the Far East Army. To be precise, the arrows of the former are too rough compared to the latter - the arrows are uniform in length and style, and are even well-made. At first glance, they look like they were made by professional military craftsmen.
It's just that although the arrow clusters are polished and the arrow shafts are smooth, the polishing and smoothness are much worse than those of the Far Eastern Army.
Generally speaking, the craftsmanship level is still far from that of the Far East Military Factory.
Wang Junlin had known for a long time that Li Shimin had been doing his best to model the model of his weapons and equipment production base in Yancheng, and had also trained a large number of craftsmen in the army. In recent days, the opponent's trebuchets and other long-range attack equipment were all
There are traces of imitating various types of equipment of the Far Eastern Army.
However, Wang Junlin knew that there were some things that the other party could never imitate, such as assembly lines and some materials based on steel.
As far as Wang Junlin knew, after Nie Xiaoyu casually built the thing called a punch hammer at the Yancheng weapons and equipment production base in Fanyang County, he was able to build more than 100,000 pieces of steel plate armor every year, and hundreds of thousands of arrows.
No matter how hard Li Shimin imitated him, he could never achieve this. It took thousands of years and a gap of more than a hundred centuries.
In addition, as Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu have continued to improve and change the Far East Army's top-to-bottom system, mechanisms, doctrines, models, thinking, etc. over the years, especially through repeated military reforms, the Far East Army's military system has long been in line with
Like the professional armies of later generations, there is a clear division of labor and clear responsibilities.
The person responsible for war preparations and fighting is the Senate Office, but the commander-in-chief of the Senate Office has always been vacant. Wang Junlin is ready to wait until Li Jing has made a big enough contribution this time, and then let Li Jing take the next step.
There is also the Equipment Office responsible for the production and maintenance of weapons and equipment, which has always been held concurrently by Liu Ziming.
The logistics department responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the personnel and war horses has been led by the beautiful Yang Kongchan from the Fanyang Chamber of Commerce.
Nie Xiaoyu is personally in charge of the Shedao training base responsible for training. Of course, she doesn't care much about it now. The group of instructors trained by her are fully capable of doing this.
All along, the Shedao training camp has been continuously producing elite soldiers who are proficient in joint combat, coordination, strict discipline, and loyal to Wang Junlin, which has become one of the main reasons why the Far East Army is becoming stronger and stronger.
As the number of the army continues to increase and its composition becomes more and more complex, incidents of soldiers violating laws and disciplines have also occurred one after another. Recently, Wang Junlin ordered the establishment of a Military Justice Department responsible for military law, which is responsible for picketing, punishment, and investigation of such matters.
Coupled with the scientific and reasonable establishment system and military honors system, reward and punishment system, pension system, military affiliation system, martyr system, military academy training system, etc., as well as various doctrines and regulations, the Far East Army can achieve a certain level of success as long as there is no corruption within the army.
The combat effectiveness can always be maintained at a very high level,
Especially the planning, efficiency and preparation for each war launched are far beyond what the armies of other forces in this era can compare to.
What's more, the Far Eastern Army's weapons and equipment have been constantly innovated, making the gap between other forces wider and wider.
These factors or advantages are the fundamental reason why Wang Junlin dared to face Li Shentong's 100,000 elite troops with more than 10,000 people.
All along, the Far East Army's superiors and subordinates have admired Wang Junlin's talent and foresight as if they were given by heaven because of these unique advantages of the Far East Army.
However, few people know that although many of these things were proposed by Wang Junlin, the specific content or details, reform steps, etc. were all proposed by Nie Xiaoyu.
While secretly lamenting the rapid improvement of the Far Eastern Army's military strength in the past few years and the rapid changes, Wang Junlin walked out of the Chinese army camp and came to the two wing camps. The situation was similar to that of the Chinese army. The only difference was that the two wings were piled with the corpses of Li Jiajun soldiers and war horses.
The low wall was lower than that of the Chinese army, apparently because there were fewer enemy soldiers who died in front of their camp than the Chinese army.
The night before yesterday, a strong wind blew. Wang Junlin ordered the entire army to guard against night attacks by the enemy, and at the same time sent two thousand cavalry to attack the Li family camp at night.
As a result, Li Shentong also took precautions and sent more than 2,000 people to sneak attack. Both sides were prepared. Naturally, their night attacks were unsuccessful, leaving some corpses and retreating.
However, those who went to the Far East Army for a sneak attack were all wearing special white lurking clothes and white hats. When they retreated, they got into the snow. At night, the people of the Li Family Army were not visible at all, so only dozens of people were killed or injured. But when the Li Family Army came,
The sneak attack was different, with more than half of the two thousand people left behind.
Wang Junlin was thinking about the overall strategic plan and when Li Shentong would react and withdraw his troops. After inspecting a circle, he returned to the Chinese Army. At this time, as a sharp siren sounded, the soldiers of the Far East Army were nervous.
They left the camp one after another, each arrived at his position, and was ready to kill the enemy.
Today's Li Jiajun's attack is different from the previous days. They came out of camp in large numbers and came to the front of the formation. After assuming an offensive posture, they launched trebuchets, shield trucks, pit-filling trucks, and even a model imitating the Far East.
They also pushed out the long-range attack equipment of the army's giant crossbow.
After bringing in various long-range attack weapons of his own, he no longer had to be beaten blindly. Under Wang Junlin's telescope observation, he found that the morale of the Li family's soldiers was much higher today than in the previous days.
Wang Junlin smiled, with a sarcastic look on his face, and said: "No matter how good Li Shentong is at fighting, or how brave his cavalry is, there are some things they will never think of, such as the same trebuchet, no matter how he imitates it.
, the range will be different, the accuracy will be different, and even the rate of fire will be different, because they cannot imitate some core technologies and they cannot produce core accessories."
After a pause, Wang Junlin said: "Instruct the four trebuchet fleets in the engineering camp to smash the enemy's long-range equipment into pieces first and tell them not to use it.
For gunpowder packets, use stone bullets."
The ordering soldiers nearby quickly conveyed military orders to the four trebuchet fleets in the engineering supply camp. The four trebuchet captains who received the news were very excited, which meant that they were about to obtain another great military exploit.
