Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 5001 Strategic Issues
Fu Ward is very aggrieved now, it's not that he can't fight, the quality of the soldiers under his command is still better than that of the Qiang people, but the problem is that Fu Ward dare not fight like before.

In the past, when we fought in the local area, we just recruited soldiers on the spot after the battle. Anyway, they have plenty of people in Guishuang, and there are also many backbones who have completed training in the mountainous areas of Beigui. If you make up for it and train a little, it will be another legion, so there is no need to worry about reserve forces. The problem.

This is the same as the counties in Liangzhou do not worry about their soldiers at all when fighting in the local area. Whoever sends troops can send hundreds of thousands of cavalry, but the counties of Liangzhou can gather together 30 armored cavalry, and they all use The version of the Xiliang iron cavalry has stable combat effectiveness.

But if you switch to an expedition, look at the situation of the Han Dynasty’s struggle against Guishuang, you will know that an expedition and a local battle are two different things. Food and grass logistics, troop allocation, and transfer and recruitment all need to be calculated and used. Basically, it is a [-] army. It takes hundreds of thousands of people to deliver food and grass, and tens of thousands of people to maintain food roads, and only half of them can participate in the war in the end.

This is also the reason why it is difficult to expand the territory. When going out to fight, it is difficult to have more troops than the opponent. In addition, the opponent has popular support, local logistics support, and terrain advantages. If you want to win, it is really true. It is extremely difficult.

To put it simply, assuming that a county-level unit has 30 people, it can theoretically support [-] soldiers. If it goes out to attack other places, the troops it can use, considering logistics, have already guarded grain roads, etc. , and the final force that can be used is about [-].

But for defense, according to the ratio of male to female, mobilizing the local people to stick to the city can mobilize more than 20 young and strong, and counting the young and strong to fight, the healthy women can transfer food and grass in the city, and the force that can be used can even reach an exaggerated [-]. It is the meaning of local warfare.

However, the Han Dynasty basically did not enjoy this kind of treatment, and often went thousands of miles to fight with others. In this case, the advantages of local personnel could not be brought into play at all.

By the way, this is also why, once the Han Dynasty wins, the gains are basically tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep are captured, because the Han Dynasty wins is equivalent to blowing the opponent's city hammer, and it can be scraped three feet.

Similarly, if the Han Dynasty loses a large army, it will usually be 10,000 to [-], and it will not survive to [-]. The reason is that you have gone thousands of miles away to fight, how can you bring [-]+ people.

In turn, this can also explain why after the victory from the early Tang Dynasty to the peak of the Tang Dynasty, the general harvest was tens of thousands, and the number of captured cattle and sheep was extremely exaggerated. Even in the Battle of Constant Ross, the largest casualty statistics given by World History and Tang History, including the friendly troops who backstabbed the Tang Army, were only [-].

To put it bluntly, it is because it is too far away, so far away that the deployment of troops has become a big problem, and the maximum deployment capacity of the main force is only 5 people, and the maximum is no more than [-] people.

After the Tang Dynasty passed Xuanzong's peak period, he often lost 10,000+, and in the Song Dynasty, he often lost hundreds of thousands, and his opponent's gains usually did not exceed a few thousand. In fact, it already shows that the offense and defense have changed positions.

It is impossible to win more than [-] yuan by fighting head-on. According to different opponents, it can be divided into two types: killing the opponent's city and directly defeating the opponent, and killing the opponent's royal court and defeating the opponent. They all belong to the negative textbooks in the art of war that go deep into the army alone and are out of touch with one's own side, but the bosses generally don't read this kind of textbooks.

Fu Wode really wants to talk about combat effectiveness, even if it is limited by the fact that his soldiers have just switched to elite talents, have not fully adapted to the plateau climate, and are not very familiar with the terrain, etc., but if they really want to fight, there are only [-] to [-] Qiang people who are young and strong. Germany can still fight.

But can it solve the problem?Just like when Rahul didn't have the chains behind him, tens of thousands of people would fight Guan Yu directly. Regardless of whether Guan Yu could win, even if he won, it is absolutely impossible for the Han Dynasty to stand firmly in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges.

The loss of 50 troops is nothing to Guishuang, not even [-]%. Relying on the size of the empire, it will take less than two years for the blood to recover. It takes two years to deploy a wave of troops.

It is equivalent to saying that Guishuang has gained a two-year buffer time for nothing. If this is the case, the Han Dynasty may still be fighting the second Boluosi encirclement and suppression war.

It can be said that this is the biggest difference between domestic warfare and foreign warfare. Fu Ward is now in a situation where he cannot afford to win. He can only win a big victory, not a small victory, let alone draw or lose.

If it is said that in Beigui, Fu Wode lost 2 people and wiped out the 6 Qiang people, it is definitely a big victory, and needs to be rewarded. It can be replaced by Fu Wode losing 2 people on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. There are 6 Qiang people, and the Qiang people's tribes are completely unknown, but Kefu Ward's strategy is also abolished!
This is why in the battle of Hengluo, the Tang Dynasty killed [-] Arabs, and its own side lost [-]. The Tang Dynasty recorded that it lost, and the Dashi recorded that it won.

Because this is not a question of gains, but a strategic level. After the Tang Dynasty lost 5000 people, the remaining 23 people are no longer enough to continue to maintain the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate in the face of the [-] troops of Dashi. As far as the territory of the Black Sea, it does not have the capital to continue to maintain the name of the Sasanian Persian country under the attack of Dashi.

Although this battle had no impact on the core territories of Arabia and the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty still retained a large area of ​​Central Asia, but this has already shaken the overall hegemony of the Tang Dynasty in Eurasia, proving that the Tang Dynasty did not Not an invincible existence.

After all, the territory of the Tang Dynasty has actually surpassed the extreme wall of imperial rule. It can be maintained more because the Tang Dynasty is too strong. The one who doesn't start, with the Qur'an in one hand and the cross in the other, world-class famous players one after another.

This is the same as the Anxi Dadu Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty who lost six battles in six battles, and the strength of the Anxi Dadu Protectorate in the early days of Xuanzong only accounted for about one-twentieth of the overall military strength of the Tang Dynasty. During the Kaiyuan period, Xuanzong had a total of 49.8W.

Among them, 2 people fought eastward and lost six times. This is why the Tang Dynasty was able to go to the Black Sea to discuss the border issue with Byzantium, because no one dared to provoke this monster anymore. The prosperous empire has no temper, and there are 25 opponents in this kind of legion. Is this a level?of course not.

So the Tang Dynasty only had 4000 people in the whole of Central Asia, but it firmly grasped the important reason for the entire Anxi Metropolitan Guard. My 4000 people and the Arabs won the hammer, and they won six battles and six victories. You scumbags can't even afford to provoke Arabs, how dare you provoke giant fathers!

Under such circumstances, Central Asia naturally would not dare to disobey the orders of the Tang Dynasty, but the defeat of the Tang Dynasty in the battle of Hengluo was actually equivalent to shaking the undefeated golden body, which in turn led to the beginning of some changes in the frontiers. idea.

This is the same as the world beacon of US imperialism in 2019. No one thought that the other party could be so bad. In 2021, American imperialism will be like this. If we really want to say that the real strength gap between 2019 and 2021 may not be much, But the former speaks loudly, and everyone knows how to blow it very powerfully. In 2021, it will inevitably be a little bit hard to blow.

As for Song, there is nothing to talk about. The undefeated golden body is in the hands of others, and it is often broken by tens of thousands of people, and then tens of thousands are defeated, and hundreds of thousands are captured.

The most amazing thing about the Han Dynasty is that, if you really want to say how fierce it is, it is actually not very fierce, at least it is not as good as the hard indicators. The family hammered others, and they all won in the end.

It doesn't matter whether you are in a mess or not. The important thing is that you look very ferocious and not strong enough, but your aura is very strong. At first glance, you are a top-notch giant. , it's a bit too embarrassing.

Just like the same Chinese army and the same American weapons, combat power is completely different. Hard indicators are just hard indicators. When you beat others, sometimes what you look at is not hard indicators.

This also makes Fu Wo De look particularly embarrassed now, a mere 3 Qiang people are chasing more than [-] elites from Fu War De's headquarters to fight, what is called aggrieved, this is called aggrieved.

During the period, Fu Ward did not think about turning around and fighting the Qiang people, but when he thought that he would not have the energy to implement the strategy after winning, Fu Ward forcibly held back this thought, and put the overall situation first.

On the contrary, it was the Qiang people who killed so much that it was called a rise. Although their own losses were twice as much as that of Fu Ward, the momentum of the chase was far better than that of Fu Ward, and since they snatched back more than 40 big geese Afterwards, the Qiang looked at the big goose that had lost weight, but came back, and its fighting power had improved again, so beat him!Pieces into pieces!

"It ran really fast." Lin Dai spat and stabbed a prisoner of Guishuang to death. He couldn't understand what the other party said, and the souvenir trade was not done well, so he killed him.

"Are you still chasing? Boss." The leader of the Di people quickly handed over a cup of Naan wine, and said to Lin Dai. With the style of a general, he can lead them to a higher level, so Lin Dai has been elected as a big leader, and he will wait for the Han Dynasty to appoint an official to become a county guard.

That's right, after Yang Pu's malicious research, they can actually not be led by that treacherous minister named Sima Lang, they can form a new county, called Qiangtang County, and then hang under the leadership of Chuanshu, Sichuan Chen Deng, governor of Shu, was a good official.

This idea is very good, and it can break away from Sima Lang's rule. Therefore, a group of Qiang people who thought that they had suffered a lot quickly began to recommend, and Lin Dai did his part to become the reserve sheriff. The internal affairs of the Qiang people, the internal affairs of the Qiang people...
