Chapter 9 The Pass of Jiashan
The 60,000 army will definitely suffer a lot of losses, at least 10,000 or 20,000 casualties, that is, there will be 30,000 to 40,000. No matter how hard the Moji people can fight, they will be trapped in the Daguang army, and there will be only one ending. Therefore, these Moji people will definitely withdraw before the Daguang army siege, which will not take many days! Fu Shuo was thinking that when the Moji people retreated, he would pounce on them and take a bite.
If you talk about this plan, the big tent is as quiet as death. This plan is naturally good, with 70% or 80% chance of success. The teacher and the soldier of Moji are tired and will definitely follow the old road outside the pass.
As early as when Fu Tianchou was the Minister of War, he said that the guards in Jimen Pass were weak, but the line of Zhenbei Pass was full of elite soldiers and powerful generals.
It is common sense that the thief does not leave empty. Last year, the snow was heavy in western Liaoning, and there were famines everywhere outside the pass, and no cattle, sheep and livestock were freezing to death. At the beginning of spring this year, the Moji people robbed and fled, but the guards were tightly guarded, so the Moji people did not take much advantage.
This time, I will drive straight into the capital and go straight into the capital. When I retreat, I will never return empty-handed. I will inevitably bring the robbed population, livestock, and property. In this way, the marching speed will inevitably be slow and the discipline will be relaxed.
The army (of course not the army with extremely abundant material resources after the later industrial society) is a hungry wolf. When locked in a cage, he will not be full or wear warm. Only when he is out of the cage, he will be bloodthirsty. If he is not allowed to eat at this time, he may backfire. This situation is like a person in the devil's way of feeding the demon.
The Moji people were poor, and they were semi-civilized savages who hunted and fished more than ten years ago. In terms of their productivity, they could not support themselves by taking the robbery.
In fact, both worlds are ordinary, and China is released from Middle-earth China. None of the Four Barbarians can support themselves by themselves, and they all rely on plunder to supplement most of their consumption. This is the natural contradiction between Middle-earth and the Four Barbarians!
Cao Cao said to Lu Bu that year: "It's like feeding an eagle. If you are full, you will escape from afar. If you are hungry, you will obey your orders." Once this army is full, every soldier will plunder enough things, and his combat power will definitely decline greatly.
These are the key points in ancient military tactics. They have military morale, with a army of 30,000 troops exceeding 500,000. Without military morale, no matter how many people are, they are just more prisoners.
Therefore, the ancient wars were far less brilliant than imagined. In the past, a large battle of tens of thousands of people was just a name that was left in history. Thousands of people were corps, and it was impossible to fight the decisive battle with the Celestial Empire at any time.
But when you travel through this world and get in touch with more people, you will gradually understand. With more people, only tens of thousands of troops can be effectively organized. Therefore, in history, those who have hundreds of thousands of troops are often defeated by the failure.
The topic is too far-reaching. These generals are all Lao Yu’s war. After listening to Fu Shuo’s analysis, they all felt that there was great potential. However, none of them agreed with it, which means they disagree!
Fu said naturally, I know why. Many times, it is not the right thing, and everyone will choose. What everyone chooses is not whether it is correct or not, but whether it is beneficial to themselves.
First, there is no danger to go to the capital to serve the king now, and there are many troops gathered. But if the Moji people are in a hurry to jump over the wall, it will be very dangerous!
The two are more important than to protect the emperor. Going to the capital to pay tribute to the king is to protect the emperor. It is said that the greatest contribution is that although there are many people who pay tribute to the king, there will be fewer people. To block the Moji people, there will be no such contribution. It doesn’t matter if the emperor starts to talk about it in the future, if I encounter danger in one year, other ministers will come to protect the emperor. Even if you don’t come, you will definitely have an opinion in your heart.
What is the most important thing in the officialdom? Of course, the opinion of the superior is the most important. Besides, this is the emperor's opinion, so it will not be able to turn over. It is like giving gifts to the leader during the Chinese New Year. The leader may not remember who gives gifts to the leader, but who doesn't give gifts to the leader will definitely remember it.
The truth is average, but the severity is far more serious. It is no wonder that these generals have such expressions.
These twists and turns cannot be placed on the table, but they are the key!
Third, their families are still in the capital and have worries and concerns. This is human nature.
Fu said that he is not the kind of person who is not familiar with human affairs and has some understanding of these. He is still the same old saying, you cannot use such things as strong, you must untie the knot. The unwilling army will definitely not have much morale.
Fu Shuo and Yue Shanqiu looked at each other. This situation was already as expected. Some words were not very suitable for Fu Shuo. Yue Shanqiu coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, you don't have to think too much. Don't forget, who is sitting in front of you?"
As soon as these words were said, all the generals were shocked again. Yes, when they remembered the identity of the national master, the national masters of Daguang dynasty, whether they were formally enthroned or not formally enthroned, were all people with great supernatural powers and boundless magical powers. At the same time, the national masters were also the emperors, and the emperors of all dynasties were the most trusted and trusted.
If you follow others and don’t go to save the emperor, maybe the emperor has any thoughts in his mind. But follow the national teacher...
Seeing Yue Shanqiu, the masters of inner court worship, following Fu Shuo so respectfully, was enough to make them think a lot.
"Don't worry, although this time is a bit dangerous. But with my national teacher, no one can erase this military achievements." Fu Shi said lightly, and there was a convincing power in his tone: "If this battle is fought well, it is not difficult to be granted a title! The emperor has great plans. If you watch Moji people escape from the pass and give up a great opportunity to attack, I'm afraid the emperor will not let you go!"
The generals here are all moved. When they think of Emperor Qing'an's character, they are definitely flattering. But they are so happy about merits. It is not false to hide in the deep palace for decades. Although they do not care about political affairs, they are very concerned about various wars. Especially after winning battles, Emperor Qing'an was stingy, but he has always rewarded his military achievements with great value.
Only with both soft and hard use, these generals slowly loosened and clasped their fists and saluted: "Don't worry, the national master, we obey the orders of the national master, serve the emperor, and serve the court!"
Fu Shuohe said, "That's good!"
After conquering these generals, the army continued to set off. However, the soldiers in the army knew nothing, and even knew that the capital was besieged by the Moji people again.
Under ancient conditions, the morale of the army was extremely fragile. Some negative news was the most likely to cause turmoil in the army and cause various changes. The most terrifying thing was the whistle! Therefore, the news blockade in the army was always extremely strict, and military information would not be known to the lower-level officers and soldiers.
Fu said that in the past world, the famous Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, flooded the seven armies, and attacked Cao Wei terrified. However, he was attacked by the Eastern Wu and captured the Jingzhou base camp. Guan Yu did not block the news, and all the soldiers in the army knew about it. The army was in a turbulent manner, so he was at a loss and was beheaded by the Eastern Wu.
The situation is almost as bad as before. At this time, if some time travelers rely on the experience of the founding of the Celestial Empire and do things like giving out the upper and lower levels, the education of soldiers will also fail more.
Five hundred miles away from Daguang, there is the Daluo Mountain Mountains, which is the dividing line between natural agriculture and grassland animal husbandry. The city defense of the checkpoints was built, and the inner and outer gates were separated.
The northern mountains are originally very majestic, and the Daluo Mountains are a natural barrier to Middle Earth. However, no matter how steep the mountain is, some places are relatively flat and easy to enter and exit. However, the place where small teams can pass through and the road of a large army are two concepts.
There are some small paths in the mountains that can accommodate dozens or hundreds of people passing by, but it is impossible to pass the army. Where the Daluo Mountains can pass through the army, they have long been built into levels and have tight defenses.
Especially after the rise of the Moji people, Zhenbei Pass against the Moji people became increasingly important, stationed the most elite troops and the best generals of the Daguang Dynasty, with sufficient soldiers and food. However, some other checkpoints far away from the Moji people slowly relaxed. Jiashan Pass was so relaxed that it was attacked by the Moji people by detour. It took it down without any effort and attacked the capital.
Jiashan Pass is extremely dangerous. When the troops walk in such a place, the mountains on both sides are clamped and people walk in it. They can only accommodate five people in parallel. If they ride horses, they can only ride two horses. If they build a level here, they can really be considered as one man and ten thousand men who can drive them!
However, no matter how good the defense line is, people need to defend. It is because this place is too dangerous that the defenders are careless and easily taken down by the Moji people.
Jiashan Pass is now occupied by the Moji people, and it is their retreat. As long as Jiashan Pass is captured, the Moji people can almost catch turtles in a jar. This is much stronger than the field battles that Fu Shuo's subordinates began to predict!
"Moji is not satisfied with ten thousand, and he is invincible!" Fu laughed at the distance and stuck the entire mountain road. The city was high and the walls were thick, and it was ten feet high, with complete defense. Cannons could still be seen in the city, but Fu said he doubted whether any of these Moji people could fire the cannons.
Moreover, the cannon also faces the direction outside the pass. When the entire pass is designed, it is guarding against external dangers, and attacking from the inside is much easier. It is said that the Moji people had an elite team that crossed the mountain path, then rushed into the back, and opened the city gate. The Moji people outside the pass rushed in, and attacked inside and outside to capture the dangerous pass.
The military organization of the Moji people is divided into ten-person teams, hundred-person teams, and thousand-person teams, which is quite simple. Now there are two thousand-person teams stationed in Jiashanguan, with few troops, only more than two thousand people. (To be continued.
