Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 576 His Majesty's Commanding Style

After Aurangzeb burned to death the princes and nobles who had betrayed him, he immediately led his army to march eastward, aiming at the follow-up troops of the Ming Fan Army.It can be said that this is also a choice that Aurangzeb had to make in reality.

After the supply line is cut off, the ordinary army can't last for too long, and it will be declared over. They can't retreat very far, and it is a very dangerous challenge to challenge the enemy when they lack supplies. The possibility of failure is very high.

However, after the supply of the Ming army was interrupted, it seemed that nothing happened. The soldiers were still eating according to the highest standard of food, and their ammunition and fuel were relatively sufficient. Bai Mingxiu led the main force of the 12th Army to retreat immediately. It was already close to Aurangzeb's troops, which made the Mughal emperor feel strong pressure.Therefore, he had no choice but to change the practice of being as stable as Mount Tai after copying the back road in ordinary ancient battles. Instead, he chose to take the initiative to attack, first destroying the relatively weak follow-up troops of the Ming and Bengal Fan Army, and then dragging on for a few days. When the main force of the 12th Army is in trouble, a decisive battle will be held against it.

This is definitely not a good way, but it is one of the few ways Aurangzeb has now.

Bai Mingxiu also realized what Aurangzeb wanted to do, so on the one hand, he was accelerating the marching speed of the 12th Army, especially by concentrating the army's high-mobility armored force first, trying to reach the battlefield as soon as possible to achieve the best breakthrough impact; On the one hand, Bai Mingxiu asked the follow-up troops of the Fan Army to execute the large-scale assembly order. On the other hand, he traded space for time to avoid direct encounters between brigade-level troops with small tactical formations and Aurangzeb's troops, and to face them with as large a force as possible. Against Aurangzeb.

Not only in India, the Ming army is calculating and deducing changes in the battlefield situation in various ways. In the staff headquarters of the Ministry of War in the local capital of the Ming Dynasty, a group of generals of the Ming army are doing the same thing, and even half complaining about it. Evaluate His Majesty the Emperor's skills as a military commander.

"Your Majesty is more cautious. The army of the Houlu Fan Army has about 11 brigades of about 16 troops. To a certain extent, it is not impossible to compete with Aurangzeb's [-] Mughal army. As long as Proper deployment, active mobilization of the enemy's brigade, interspersed and divided back and forth, Aurangzeb's army will definitely be wiped out." Meng Qingfu, a young and vigorous staff officer, spoke boldly.

The military department of the Ming army is now filled with a force of young men. These soldiers in their 30s were basically born after the Jiashen Incident. They experienced wars and subjugation. They also experienced the Restoration War when they were teenagers. New education grows up.This group of soldiers is relatively young, and their spirits are very high. They also have a relatively complete knowledge structure and skill training. Many people think that they are actually better than the older generation of Ming officers during the Restoration War.

But it is also this group of young and strong officers who are eager to fight and express themselves on the battlefield.

Gao Ning, who was in his forties, was not counted as these young men, but as the recovery generation. He participated in the recovery war, and belonged to a relatively young group of officers in the recovery war, and belonged to those who grew up in the recovery war.The young officers and soldiers in their 30s and 20s at that time, after [-] years of experience, are now the core backbone of the army.

Maybe it's because the Restoration Generation came here with great achievements in the Restoration War, so they didn't yearn for war and victory like the young men. In many cases, they were considered relatively conservative forces in the army, but they were also largely stable. The military circles of Ming Dynasty.

Gao Ning said: "It's not that your majesty is cautious, but that your majesty has such a commanding style. A good fighter has no great achievements in battle. Your majesty never fights unprepared battles, and never takes too high a risk on the battlefield. , Your Majesty's style of leading troops is quite fierce, and he has unmatched courage. Winning victory with the highest efficiency and the lowest cost is His Majesty's style, and it has also been deeply integrated into the style of my Ming army."

What Gao Ning said was actually very pertinent, but the young Meng Qingfu looked a bit disapproving. He just felt that Gao Ning's words were very dishonest. It was very ugly to flatter the emperor when he was not here.The officers of the Young Zhuang faction were very proud. They were also influenced by the new ideas of the Ming Dynasty. They respected the restored emperor of the Ming Dynasty and recognized him as the greatest Chinese emperor in history, but they also placed his position more in the Ming Dynasty. In the position of a citizen, instead of putting him first in everything.

And Gao Ning himself was Li Laiheng's adopted son, he was regarded as the second generation of the army, so some young and strong officers who came up through their own hard work looked down upon him.

Someone asked Su Shuhuan: "Commander Su, what do you think of His Majesty's move?"

Su Shuhuan said: "Very good. If I were in command, I would probably have to do similar things. Compared with the Mughal army, the 12 feudal army does not have that great advantage. You can win if you win, but a miserable victory will not benefit my Ming Dynasty." His Majesty was able to assemble more than [-] vassal troops through a few moves, and lured the Mughal army to continue eastward. Aurangzeb crushed in one fell swoop."

Even Su Shuhuan, who had the highest prestige in the army, said the same thing, so no one offered any further opinions on this strategy.

"It's just that the Bangladesh Army now has a large number of new recruits and returned reserves. Can such combat effectiveness be guaranteed?" Some people questioned this.

Gao Ning said again: "Is the Mughal army better? A considerable part of their army is a strong man who was captured to fight, and now he has been forced to serve for more than one or several years. , the morale of the Mughal army is actually not high, and it is maintained entirely by Aurangzeb's iron fist. Although the Bengal Army is relatively new, its establishment is old, and there are a large number of reliable officers, non-commissioned officers and veterans. Our Not to mention the level of equipment, in fact, such a Bangladesh army has relatively good combat effectiveness."

Su Shuhuan also said: "The combat mission of the Bengal Fan Army is actually not heavy. It is to hold the position firmly, resist the attack of the Mughal army, and actually defeat the enemy. In fact, it is handed over to the 12th Group Army. But with His Majesty's temper , Eighty percent of it is to gather the Bengali army to fight the Mughal army head-on, and the scene should be pretty good at that time, we need to collect a lot of relevant information, which will be very helpful for our army's reform and tactical review."
