Anyone who has been fighting for half a year will get tired of it. Even Gao Zunyu, who was eager to seek success, began to get tired of it.
From the turn of spring to summer until the beginning of winter, except for a few limited days of rain and snow, almost every day was spent in battle. This was a kind of torture.
"Shou Weng, this is a problem. This is already the fifth fight this month. If this continues, I'm worried about Ying Xiao..."
A lone army went deep behind the enemy's rear and moved to fight under the enemy's pursuit and interception... Although it was proactive, the environment and atmosphere were real. Besides, the imperial court's plans could only be announced at the general level.
, it is impossible for every soldier to understand clearly. Therefore, it is inevitable to have some confused thoughts.
If this situation had been put in the past, it would have been just one word: kill! Beheading was used to suppress the soldiers' unusual movements and chaotic thoughts. But now it is no longer possible. Not to mention that the soldiers of the new army are different from the original Forbidden Army, they are the civil servants of the entire army.
The assistant officers and supervisors also told the coach not to do anything deviant.
There is nothing Zhong Yi can do. No one can solve the problem of the millennium military... Wait, Zhong Yi seems to have remembered something again.
"Commander, last time the supplies are in place, is there a team?"
Zhong Yi suddenly remembered that when he was in the escort camp, officials had said something about ways to deal with the military's wartime emotions, about propaganda teams, about activating the lives of the soldiers, about adding fun to the soldiers...
··
It was treated as gossip at first, but during this period of time, Zhong Yi, while dealing with various affairs of the military, found more and more that many of the official gossips were quite effective.
"Oh, it seems that there is such a thing. I just accepted the supplies and let them enter the logistics camp casually. Is there anything you can say?"
"It's hard to say. I remember some of what Guan Jia said at the time. I can't tell if that's true or not."
In later generations, in Zhao Xi's original era, there were already psychiatrists involved in the psychological trauma of the war, so how could they not take this into consideration? There is a saying that misses the smallest detail and makes a huge mistake? Since the plan is to destroy the country,
During the war, Zhao Xi naturally did not miss the psychology of the soldiers who were turned off by the old military affairs talk... The ideological work must be done well, and the entertainment life of the soldiers must not be left behind.
It is impossible to find a group of little girls to sing songs in the military camp. It is still possible to find some jugglers to entertain in the military camp. It is impossible for all the armies to be equipped, and it is impossible to extend the entertainment to the Xiang army level. In Gao Zunyu's department,
It is still possible to arrange a squad among the lone army.
This is the last link in this grand scheme.
War in winter is difficult, whether against Xixia or Song Dynasty. When it snows, the ground covered with heavy snow makes it difficult for the cavalry to charge quickly. When the snow melts, the mud on the ground also makes it impossible for the cavalry to charge.
More importantly, this season is supposed to be the season when war horses are raised, but they are still fighting. This will cause immeasurable damage to War Horse and others.
After winter, the intensity of the Xixia people's attacks dropped significantly. What's the difference? Gao Zunyu thought that the Xixia people were about to break out, so he discussed with Zhong Yi and continued to fight. After solving the problem of the soldiers' irritability,
Gao Zunyu didn't think there was anything else that could stop them.
Veteran generals like Di Qing and Zhong Jia knew how to weaken Xixia's combat power. As if to rescue Gao Zunyu's troops, the intensity of their attack on Xixia did not decrease at all.
Even the cavalry team at the medical clinic seemed to have never stopped harassing the Xixia people.
Xixia people are very injured...
"With the war reaching this level, we should be able to see some clues..."
Due to the poor method of communication, the court had no way of knowing what the current situation was in Xixia. As early as a few years ago, Zhao Xi asked Wang Zhongzheng to send detailed information to Xixia. Before the war, all kinds of intelligence were constantly flowing, but during the war,
From the beginning, very little news was delivered.
"The imperial court is only familiar with the situation of the surrounding troops. Gao Zunyu and Wang Shao have no news since the beginning of winter."
This was the most critical point in the battle. The survival of Gao Zunyu's tribe would determine whether a sufficient number of Xixia cavalry could be attracted to the Xingqing Mansion area, while Wang Shao's tribe would decide whether it would leave a way for the Xixia people to escape north.
Gao Zunyu's tribe was surrounded by the Xixia people. But Wang Shao's tribe was surrounded by the weather. The road from Suzhou to Heishui Town Yanjunsi was covered with snow, so the communication was no longer so timely. No.
It is said that sleds are not available, but in the vast Gobi desert, which is covered with white snow, there is no sense of direction at all. Even the old guide does not dare to cross this road in the winter snow.
"There should be no surprises. Di Qing, Zhong Jia, Guo Kui, and the Xixia troops fighting with their various tribes have not changed much. In other words, Gao Zunyu's tribe is still continuing guerrillas and is still attracting Xixia people to encircle and annihilate."
"As for Wang Shao's army, the previous order to Li Xian's army has been mentioned. In order to avoid being alerted by the Xixia people in the encirclement, Li Xian's army was not allowed to capture the Black Mountain Weifu Army Division, just like Di Qing and other armies. But for Li Xian's scouts,
If you want to go to him, go west and five hundred miles north..."
"Li Xianbu needs to start fighting against the Black Mountain Weifu Army Division at the moment when the partial division moves south, and finally completes the rendezvous with the partial division before the Xixia people flee north."
"And Li Xianbu's report shows that there has been no change in the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town except for some troops being mobilized by the Xixia court. There is no change at this time, which is a good thing for the partial division. In other words, the partial division and Li Xianbu are controlling the summons.
In terms of issues, we have done a good job.”
"The clues I want to see are actually the information on supplies and material supplies that all the Xixia forces gathered in Xingqing Mansion. Perhaps that is the key to this war."
Zhao Xi's planning is never simply about calculating one's own strength, nor is it simply considering the current situation. Just like this war...
The grand plan is one thing, but the most important thing is that all Zhao Xi's plans are aimed at Xixia's system.
If Xixia really wants to be as absolute and centralized as the country is now, Zhao Xi's plan for Xixia can only be gradual. Xixia's own system laid the foundation for Zhao Xi's plan.
With the bravery of the Dangxiang people, even if the grand plan is finally completed and the entire combat force of Xixia is completely surrounded, once the Dangxiang people gather together to break out at one point, Zhao Xi is not sure that he can completely keep them.
However, the Xixia people's system determines that the Xixia people will not do this in the end. This is because, in order to annihilate Gao Zunyu's tribe, Xixia mobilized too many tribal soldiers. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry were concentrated in Xingqing, Yinxia, and Xiping.
With such a small area, it is difficult for the Xixia court's reserves to satisfy all the cavalry supplies.
Therefore, internal disputes are certain, and this kind of dispute is the clue that Zhao Xi said, and is the key to final victory or defeat.
