sweeping the world

Chapter 229 Congratulations, Upgraded

The Han army has always had as many people as it needs, and there was no name given to it from the beginning.That's because Liu Yan doesn't have this concept. Secondly, he pays attention to actual data. There are only as many people as he can do, and even various responsibilities are strictly divided.

There is nothing wrong with falsely claiming that it can boost morale, but it often deceives itself into it, and inadvertently inflates it too much.There are many similar examples. The more famous one is Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi, and the one that did not happen is Fu Jian in the Battle of Feishui.

In addition, there is another situation that does not claim to be false figures, but auxiliary personnel such as civil servants are also included.You must know that a soldier on the front line needs at least five or so people behind him to serve him. If the tens of thousands of troops in the front directly participate in the battle, there will be tens of thousands of people serving him in the rear. This is the calculation of hundreds of thousands of troops in Chinese civilization.

There is also a deformed algorithm. For example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were only thousands of Ding troops who were really brave and able to fight, and the rest were basically defeated in one battle; The rest are mere refugees in captivity.But the two sides are still shouting with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Twenty-six thousand?" Deng Heng frowned: "Is it like us, or...?"

Cui Xuan said with obvious confusion or confusion: "They are probably actual troops participating in the war."

Deng Heng had to pay attention to this.

There are [-] troops that can really participate in the battle, and any general in charge of the army knows what it means.They clearly understand how difficult it is to deal with an enemy army consisting of at least [-] people who are brave enough to fight, and it is even more difficult to deal with a mixed formation of brave fighters and mobs!
The Zhao army in Shijie probably needed four or five days to digest the results of the battle, but the army of the Han army was less than 150 miles away. As a veteran, Deng Heng knew that this was a dangerous period. He discussed with Cui Xuan and decided not to eat The result of the battle is equal to the previous battle in vain, so the only way is to lead a group of troops to march to the main road to garrison.

"In this battle, since the Han army is all soldiers, we will not lead useless soldiers to go." Deng Heng made careful calculations for a long time: "Let [-] people rush to the main road first, and use the terrain to form a defensive position."

"The villain will urge the reinforcements from Yuzhou and Sizhou." Cui Xuan actually found it difficult to understand Deng Heng's behavior, and couldn't help but persuade again: "Maybe ten thousand is too little, why don't you bring more?"

In fact, Cui Xuan's official position does not need to call himself a "little man", but to understand the mentality of the general and the second devil, humility has already been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of long-term humiliation.

"You... don't understand." Deng Heng did not intend to explain more and said seriously: "This battle will not be simple. The reinforcements from other states and counties need to be urged more."

Cui Xuan may think that Deng Heng is making too much of a fuss, but this is the difference between being able to command troops and not being able to command troops.

In the end, Deng Heng set off with only 1 people. Except for the necessary cavalry, he took away most of the infantry soldiers he thought could be fought, and only a few miscellaneous soldiers who served in logistics.

The reason why Taishan County has the word "mountain" is because Taishan County is really a mountainous terrain.Under this kind of terrain, it is not the key point to find a main road that must be passed through. Whether the enemy detours is actually not the key. If the mountainous terrain can make a detour, then what else is there?The detour must have been very difficult terrain.

Out of caution, Deng Heng did not distinguish between front, middle and rear troops. He only sent the necessary scouts to investigate and serve as a warning in the front. Facts have proved that caution is absolutely useful.

"The marching speed of the Han army is really fast!" Deng Heng looked at Yao Jing and asked, "How about their mountain warfare?"

Yao Jing in Deng Heng's army is similar to the existence of Ke Qing, who has no real power, can only give some opinions, and also plays the role of answering questions.He replied: "There has never been a mountain battle with Liu Yan."

So there is such a difference between being able to command troops and not being able to. Deng Heng is too aware that not all troops can adapt to all terrains. The scouts sent back the military situation ahead, saying that they found a Han army with a number of about [-] approaching. I began to choose how to fight in my mind.

"Stop the whole army!" Deng Heng shouted loudly, and then issued an order: "The cavalry and baggage troops retreat, and the infantry ambushes in the mountains and forests on both sides!"

This is a valley surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the mountains in some places are concave.There are many similar terrains in Taishan County. This valley road has been opened up for a long time before it becomes the main road. Other areas are just mountain trails, or simply need to climb mountains.

The battle between the two armies has always started with the fighting between the scouts, which means that when one side discovers the other side, both sides will know that there are enemy troops around.

Ambush is a relative thing, a fight is a surprise, not a sneak attack in the true sense.That's why it's called an ambush, not a sneak attack.

"Will they come over?" Yao Jing was not completely inexperienced, said: "The scouts have already fought. This side is full of mountains, they..."

"Shh!" Deng Heng didn't know if the Han army would come, but everything needed to be tried to achieve results. There was still a chance to try, so what would happen if he didn't do anything?He didn't lower his voice either: "Wait quietly."

The sound of horseshoes came from the distance of the valley road. From a distance, there were several fast horses galloping ahead, and behind them were about ten horses chasing.

The fleeing and the chasing parties shot arrows back and forth while galloping, but because the horse galloped too fast and caused too much bumps, the accuracy of the arrows was very worrying.

Under the watchful eyes of thousands of eyes at the scene, distinguishing the battle robes, one can find that the Han army is chasing the scouts of our side. It may be a coincidence, or the terrain may limit the speed. Almost instantly, six people were shot by arrows at the same time. After being hit and knocked down from their horses, several people who did not die immediately were dragged by the horses by their reins and let out pitiful howls that echoed loudly in the valley road.

"stop!!!"

The scouts of the Han army stopped their horses and scanned the valley road one by one. Their actions made Shijie Zhao Jun who was in ambush subconsciously lower his body as much as possible to hide in the grass.

From a distance, the scouts of the Han army were discussing something. Just when everyone thought they were going to continue to observe in depth, they all turned their horses and galloped away without thinking.

Of course Deng Heng saw the scene just now, with a fearful expression on his face, and thought: "Look at the small and know the big, the scouts are so elite, I think the Han army's soldiers will not be too bad." 】

It is quite normal that the Han scouts did not go deep. It may be due to military orders. Furthermore, the valley road has always been a dangerous military area. No one would foolishly go in and risk their lives unless necessary.

"Behead all the scouts who just withdrew." Deng Heng didn't kill those people for other reasons. How could scouts run to their own army when they were fleeing?Isn't it to let the enemy know the location of our main force in a clear way?He thought for a while and then ordered: "Look for a place to build a camp."

Whether it is building a camp or not stationing a camp, the difference between them is the difference in the camp's fortifications.When building a camp, there are not only defensive fortifications such as wooden fences, fences, and horse rejection, but also earth walls, corridors, and ditches.The two different camping methods are the distinction between the general's emphasis on the enemy's army and the level of combat.

Yao Jing led soldiers before, but when he looked around, he suddenly found that his former soldiers seemed to be playing tricks?
That is a comprehensive cognition from the steps and methods of building the camp. Yao Jing built the camp on the flat terrain. Just the fence and the foundation of the wooden fence, the same manpower and the time spent by Deng Heng are two hours apart. .And this has not included the gap in other barracks facilities. If all of them are counted, how big is the gap?
Building a camp on a mountain is not the same as building a camp on a flat ground, so Yao Jing found Deng Heng and asked in confusion: "The scouts of the Han army have appeared, do we have enough time to build a camp like this?"

Deng Heng laughed immediately and said: "Reporting from the cavalry, the Han army's lead is only three thousand, and most of the follow-up troops are cavalry."

Yao Jing said "Oh", that means the ambush in the valley should not be fought, and the Han army will not go deep into the mountainous terrain.

It seems that Deng Heng is not in a hurry, especially after finding out that the Han army is difficult to deal with, he adopted a cautious attitude.

There will be [-] troops from Yuzhou, and [-] troops from Sizhou, adding up to [-].These reinforcements were not mobs, they were fundamentally different from the mob that Yao Jing had improvised.

Fifty thousand reinforcements from the two states, and Deng Heng's close to 20, that is a solid 60 troops. If the family soldiers and slave soldiers recruited from the local area are included, the total will definitely approach [-]. You can call [-].

Is it beneficial for the defender if time continues to drag on?That is of course, but it depends on the situation.

Deng Heng really wasn't in a hurry at all. Shijie Zhao State originally planned to go three ways to destroy the Han tribe.

"So it is Liu Yan who should be anxious." Deng Heng said cheerfully: "Since we know that the rebels are not easy to deal with, we should be prepared in every possible way."

Liu Yan is transferring troops from overseas?Deng Heng is not so clear about the strength of the Han tribe overseas, but the Han tribe has only risen for less than four years. Even if they have territories overseas, how much can they adjust?
"For now, we have to worry about whether Murong Xianbei will directly intervene, or transport troops from the direction of Liaodong, or by sea." Deng Heng's height is not the same as that of a 'little guy' like Yao Jing: "Yan Gong ( Shi Bin led his army to station in Youzhou, and there were various vassal towns in the south to put pressure on Jin. If there was no sea route, the Han tribe... would just wait to die."

Before, Deng Heng, like many people, thought that the Han Dynasty was just a disease of scabies, but after taking office, after some understanding, he didn't think so. It was clearly a serious problem!

For the faction that has actually formed a separate regime, Shijie Zhao Guo has never taken it seriously, but Liu Yan has been different here after the Xiami War. A Han people established a tribe called the Han tribe, which clearly shows that it is not vulgar. With such strength, the first reaction of any barbarian is definitely: exterminate!
…………

I solemnly recommend a book written by the great master Ma Jia: "Iron Curtain Germany", the advertisement is at the end.

　Berlin under Romanov's feet was the axis of the Red Empire.The endless Apocalypse armor cluster is the sword and shield to conquer the West.

　　Iron Cross returned from hell, full of the humiliation and hatred of defeat.

　　He will make Europe pay dearly for the crimes committed against Germany!

　　"Souls of Steel will answer the call of the Iron Curtain and return to Berlin to meet at the Brandenburg Gate."

　　"Empire, I'm back."
