I became the son of Renzong

War is the most important thing in Song Dynasty now.

"From the current point of view, the implementation of the strategy is very good, basically in accordance with the established strategy, and basically achieved the goal."

Zhao Xi looked at the sand table and compared it with the report read out by the officials...

The four generals of the Guards, Zhao Xi, arranged to enter the area according to the characteristics of their respective operations.If it is possible to be flexible and not impulsive, they will mainly attack Yizhou; Zhou Tong and Wang Shunchen are good at attacking, so they will be arranged to lead the assault; and Zhong Jianzhong has the best view of the overall situation among the four, and when the army advances, it is necessary to take into account The advancement of the entire front.

"Officials, the generals of Hedong Road will invite you again, asking when to attack."

"I'm impatient! There are many battles, why are you in such a hurry? Everyone, I was thinking, all the encounters and positional battles of the four armies made me feel that I couldn't see where the main force of Beiliao was~"

Main force?All the minds are on the advancement of the strategy, that is, the report on the results of the battle, the cabinet also listens to the progress of the advancement, and no one pays attention to the main force of the Northern Liao Dynasty.

There is no doubt that Beiliao must have a main force.

"Summarize all the battle reports and count the situation of the Liao army that wiped out the enemy! Do it quickly!"

Wang Anshi also felt this problem.Since the start of the war, I have been pushed forward, and my mind is full of annihilating the enemy. I really didn't think about screening the details of the enemy.

"Don't worry, the generals in front have their own calculations. If you follow the battle requests of the various armies, the progress will never be just this distance. In other words, the main force of the Liao army has not yet been encountered, and all the commanders have noticed. Let’s make little progress.”

"However, I thought that maybe a little bit of aggressiveness ahead would have a miraculous effect!"

The stable strategy was drawn up by the imperial court and approved by the officials.At this time, the officials suddenly said that they hoped to advance...

"Officials, but the Liao army wants to enlarge the army and go deep? Judging from the early wars between the Liao army and our dynasty, the auxiliary soldiers, that is, the Han army Lin Ya, lured them, thereby attracting our army to pursue or go deep. The Liao army took advantage of the cavalry. , After opening the distance, the cavalry will split up and circle around, forming an encirclement of our side within a specific area!"

"Not only that, the Liao army will also use the surrounded team as a bait to lure other teams to support, so as to encircle the points to fight for reinforcements, and even use the advantages of the cavalry to stretch the front line and carry out non-stop raids and raids. Achieve the goal of defeating each of us."

Wang Shao's military knowledge is genuine.After all, he had led the army and fought in battle, so he immediately understood the official's intentions.

"Official..." Zhang Dun was about to say something when the official who had just gone out to compile the battle report came in.

"Listen to the summary first before discussing!"

Sure enough, judging from the battle reports of various ministries in the Hebei Province, so far more than [-] enemies have been wiped out, and there are only a small number of Pishi troops, let alone the Palace Guards.

It is even suspected that these annihilated Pishi troops were appointed to supervise the battle in the Han army.

In other words, the battle was very lively, but in fact, there has been no real war yet...

"Officials, do you want to let the front know the summary of the battle report?"

This is very important, at least Wang Anshi thinks it is important.

"No need. Hebei Road can check the situation of annihilating the enemy in the report, which means that they have a good idea. On the east and northwest side, let's summarize the battle report and know it, so as not to add to the chaos."

In this war, the imperial court gave the generals in front quite a lot of autonomy.Fighter planes are fleeting, and traveling between the court and the front line can easily lead to delays in fighter planes.

Zhao Xi was afraid that Hedong Road and the Northwest Army could not help attacking.

"Zi Hou, what do you want to say?"

"Officials, I think sending troops aggressively will help draw out the tactics of the Northern Liao Dynasty. Do you want to order some troops ahead to advance?"

One's own side is the real main force, but the enemy's main force has not been seen so far. This battle was fought in a muddle.

Zhang Dun feels that it is completely possible to follow the plan, let some combat forces rush forward, draw out the tactical arrangements of the Beiliao, and at the same time make adjustments to the tactics of the Beiliao to avoid unnecessary accidents.

Zhang Dun's idea is not wrong...

"Since the imperial court has an order to give the generals in the front the autonomy, don't break your word. Zihou, everyone, you must trust our generals, trust their judgment on the battle situation, and use the most tactical tactics."

"I'm thinking that our steady progress is nothing more than a delay in the war, and there may not be uncontrollable accidents. Let's wait and see."

Against Guochao's steady advance tactics, how will Beiliao fight this battle?Zhao Xi was also thinking, putting himself in the shoes of Beiliao.It seems that there is really no good way.

Harassing, luring and chasing, turning back and slashing, these are the most conventional tactics in Beiliao.

Or attack the grain road, cut off the logistics supply, and then keep attacking and killing the various ministries fighting for the grain road...

Don't look at the tens of millions of armies on both sides of Hebei Province, Song and Liao, who are fighting against each other. It is impossible for such people to be placed on the huge plain of Hebei Province without omissions.

Not to mention the single cavalry squad, even thousands of cavalry can do it if they want to go around the opponent's back from the gap.Of course, it's a little more difficult to add more.

Five thousand, or even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have changed, and it is impossible for any party to detect it.

Perhaps the Northern Liao Dynasty will adopt such a method... Yelu Yixin still has military talents, and the tactics of this rebellion are worth learning from the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty.

Chapter 933

The steady advancement of the Song Dynasty is the steady advancement of the chariot soldiers.

The chariots are equipped with firearms and all kinds of equipment for firing gunpowder. Once the chariots are in formation, Beiliao has no way to start.

Song Dynasty's current gunpowder bomb launch is no longer a simple trebuchet or a simple launcher.Single strong crossbow, god arm crossbow, even eight ox crossbow and bed crossbow have become dual-purpose.

Moreover, the eight-ox crossbow of Song Dynasty no longer requires a team of people to operate it. Two people are fully capable of it, and the rate of fire is many times higher than before.

With such a disparity in armaments, Beiliao can only try to divide and attack tactically.However, Da Song was not moved by the temptation at all, and strictly implemented the steady progress.

In fact, steady progress also has its disadvantages.Just can't juggle too much.

In the case that the enemy cannot be effectively wiped out, the deeper the strategy, the greater the loophole behind it.

Except for this area of ​​advancement, any other place may hide the enemy's entire combat team.

This is also the status quo at the beginning of the war, when both sides tried this way.

Beiliao was retreating, and from time to time would send thousands or thousands of cavalry to harass and harass, as if teasing, hit a few times, and then ran away.The purpose is to allow Da Song to pursue or speed up the advance.It's a little bit like showing weakness to the enemy.

On the Song side, no matter what the opponent does, how many they come to fight, the chariot soldiers are the chariot soldiers, and they will never go out in chariot formation.Run away to rest, transfer the injured, and then continue to advance steadily.

The two sides have been dragging so far, even if Da Song is safe, it is still more than 100 miles away from the border, and it is far away from the rear camp, and there are already laid cities behind.

In other words, the depth has left enough space for the cavalry to maneuver behind...

The front army and rear supplies of the chariot can no longer be transported by rails.Although it is still transported by horse-drawn carriage, it cannot be compared with the track, and it has to establish a logistics supply line and send troops to guard the logistics supply line.

The current soldiers of the Song Dynasty are more dependent on logistical supplies than when they had no firearms in the early years.Not only food, but also a large and uninterrupted supply of gunpowder...

"Almost?"

"It's almost there. If we go any farther away, we may have difficulty supplying supplies, and Beiliao may really cause chaos behind the chariot. More than a hundred miles, it is the most suitable distance for Beiliao's one-man, three-cavalry Pishi army and Gongwei army. .”

"How about the supply line?"

"After the doubt formation is completed, it depends on whether Beiliao has been fooled."
