The word veteran has a different meaning in the Song Dynasty. The commonly referred to veterans not only refer to veterans who have been on the battlefield, but also includes all the soldiers who retired from the army. This is a kind of professional talents trained under a fairly complete system.

Of course, if you have been on the battlefield, the meaning of this veteran is different. He is considered the elite among veterans. As long as you tell the year name, location of the army and the war you have participated in, others will be respectful.

This is an invisible and intangible glory. Veterans often regard these as things more than life and precious. Even the master in the government office should be polite after learning that the victim is a veteran who retreats from the battlefield.

This is glory, and it is also a respect for veterans fighting for the country! It works from the top and the bottom, and the whole society is like this. This also inspires every soldier from the Song Dynasty to work hard and win honor on the battlefield.

This is a kind of inheritance. At present, many of the veterans of the Sixteen Guards are veterans who have never been on the battlefield. They are very eager to go to the battlefield, because only in this way can they become veterans who retreat from the battlefield and have the pride and honor that soldiers deserve.

So don't underestimate this transport convoy composed of veterans of the Sixteen Guards. They are well-equipped and not inferior to other troops at all. They are full of confidence and have the courage they need most on the battlefield.

The number was allocated to the army that transported logistics supplies, but they would not complain or feel wronged, because they knew their importance, and they knew it from the beginning after they secretly arrived in Chawagang and Chawarong.

Although they were not far from Ma'er and learned that Ma'er was surrounded, the order they received was the Yong'an army to assist Wang Shao, so the transport team composed of veterans joined the support war without hesitation.

The best thing about the soldiers of the Song Dynasty is to obey commands and obey orders. This is the basic quality of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty and it is also a "conditioned reflex" that has been trained over the years.

The orders and bans were iron laws in the Song army. Zhao Zhen privately preferred to call the army the "discipline troops".

As the emperor of a country, Zhao Zhen could lead the entire country to change. His words praised the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to a certain extent. The improvement of the status of soldiers was also an important magic weapon for the Song army to improve its combat effectiveness.

The transportation army of Chawagang and Chawarong merged in Motuo and became a special army. This was a temporary military force, with a total of 36,000 people. Each of them came from the various garrisons of the 16 guards of the Song Dynasty. Each of them was the local elite, because only the elites were qualified to enter the battlefield and stand out from so many people who were "eyed".

The 36,000 troops of the vocational army must not only be responsible for transporting baggage and ammunition, but also have combat capabilities. They must be able to defend the baggage they transport, otherwise how can they be called the " vocational army"?

On the other side, Siluo already knew that Zhao Zhen was in Maergan City, and at the same time, he also knew that Garidacuo surrounded Maergan City, which was undoubtedly a "shock surprise" for him.

Who would have thought that the dignified Emperor of Song would suddenly appear on the battlefield? Where is Maer dared to be? It is a city on the Tubo Plateau and a land that once belonged to the Tubo people!

The surround of Maergan also cut off the supply route of the Song army in the southern route in a sense. It was a "good opportunity" for Tubo to fight back!

Jiao Siluo sent a large number of troops to stop Wang Shao's troops from advancing, and at the same time deployed heavy troops to guard Pibo City. The clever commander could clearly see the situation on the battlefield. At this point, Wang Shao and Yang Huaiyu wanted to do Jiao Siluo clearly.

The Song army of the north and south routes were both the main force, and it can be said that they were not the main force. Their fundamental purpose was to form a kind of encirclement of the city, so as to win with a huge advantage. A big victory could turn the world around and make Tubo doom endless.

The supply team that attacked the Song Dynasty was of course the focus of Jiao Siluo. He knew Zhao Zhen and knew that this unparalleled emperor had outstanding military affairs. His favorite thing was to take multiple measures and cause fatal blows to the enemy from all directions.

When the attack on the Western Xia, the Song people advanced together, and even joined forces with Qingtang at that time to launch an attack on Li Yuanhao, making the entire Western Xia "unstable". This was a real enemy.

Now the Emperor of the Song Dynasty plans to use the same trick again and use the same means to deal with Tubo, but Jiao Siluo will not be fooled easily. Since the Song army has divided into many troops, the Tubo army can do this, but Jiao Siluo knows where to focus.

For example, the baggage for attacking the Song army was the top priority. The Song people's southern army consumed an astonishing daily life, and they must need a huge "supply line".

This word is heard from the Song people. The Song army was fighting on the front line, and the baggage in the rear was the most important. If the Song army could be cut off, the Tubo army could put huge pressure on the Song army in the south, not only to force them back, but also to defeat the Song army.

This is the plateau. Once the Song army is defeated, it will be difficult for it to form a combat force that threatens Tubo.

Jiaosiluo knew the gap between the Song Dynasty and Tubo, so he never intended to defeat the Song army head-on. He wanted to launch "shock soldiers" and "suspicious soldiers" to attack the Song army that penetrated the Tubo Plateau.

Soon the Tubo army discovered the fully armed transport team "官网". The meaning of the word "官网" is to have abundant supplies. The "官网" not only has abundant supplies, but also has sufficient combat power.

These people are young and middle-aged men aged 26 or 27, and they are also at the time of their health and energy. Even when they face the surprise attacks of the Tubo army, they are quite calm.

It is important to remain calm on the battlefield, and the calmness of the army comes from their weapons and their courage to fight and dare to fight.

In fact, the Weiji Army had been waiting for the Tubo people to attack them. The speed of the convoy on the plateau was not as fast as that of the cavalry and could easily become the target of the cavalry's attack. The Weiji Army was eager to fight with the Tubo people to create their reputation.

The Tubo cavalry that was hit like a tide did not know what they were about to face. After the Wenji Army stopped the convoy, they quickly used carriages to build defense. This was a very amazing change, especially these modified carriages.
