"Won, this win..."
Looking at the enemy's disintegration, whether it is Stone Bull or Wang Qiu, they have some incredible meanings and feelings, and some have the illusion of a world away.
But for Zhou Huai'an, this victory was not unexpected. The difference was only sooner or later; according to what he had learned from historical government documents and local rumors. These natives are best at their mobility in the mountains, short assaults and small-scale encounters in narrow spaces, and guerrilla operations such as sneak attacks and harassment;
Once a large-scale downhill reaches a plain area with different environments, river networks and paddy fields, most of the mountain advantages that they have proven will be basically lost; in the case of a large number of people, it may be possible to ignore and ignore these. Shortcomings and differences, but once blocked, frustrated and showing signs of decline, this disadvantage will be suddenly amplified and used.
This is also one of the reasons why he dared to take the risk of making a silly shot under Jiaozhou City, and led troops to take the initiative to fight the barbarians north; the bet was that they could not order and react quickly like regular troops, and the combat experience on the plains was severely lacking. It’s just that I didn’t expect that it was not the one-by-one attacking and defeating as expected, but just a decisive battle that was fought so soon.
"Congratulations to the leader, our army has killed nearly 10,000, and the rest of the barbarians have already collapsed..."
Mi Baogong said the apprentice captain who was in charge of supervising those attached to the armed cleaning of the battlefield.
"The winning army is like a mountain, ... and there are nearly 10,000 children and slaves in the army..."
"But it's where I am waiting to take a warning."
Hearing that this week Huai'an couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. There are so many things to remember and reflect on winning this war.
For example, the other party actually carried the captured population and property in the army, so much burden and invisible concern, undoubtedly intensified the opponent's way of defeat after contrarian.
I don’t know if it’s because of the overconfidence of the opponent or the support. Although the Xiyuan Man who came south to attack is known as an army of fifty thousand, almost two to thirty thousand were actually put into the battlefield this time. Compared with the rebel army brought by Zhou Huai'an plus The nearly 10,000 armed forces are not considered to be an obvious advantage;
And he did not wait for all to arrive before launching the attack first. The result is that under the disguised oil-filling tactics, in batches, one after another, the halberds were broken and shattered before the pre-set array of alternate cover by the rebels who were waiting in battle. When he finally made up his mind to sacrifice the decisive trump card and the decisive weapon-the elephant soldier, and all the main forces that accompany it, he encountered the restraint that he had prepared; therefore, the defeat was not wronged.
However, the subsequent casualties report will not be so pleasant. After all, there is no perfect zero casualty thing in the world; in this unsurprising battle, it still caused nearly a thousand casualties of the team itself; a large part of it was a panicked elephant who was inadvertently directly The consequences caused by breaking into the array and stepping on them, as well as the subsequent siege and killing process.
The second is the damage of the spears and spears thrown close to them, as well as the damage of the crossbow and poisoned arrows; then there are some negligible melee losses; the savage soldiers look terrifying and terrifying. Brave without fear of death, but lacks the basic cooperation and coordination in a large-scale battle; it is easy to disperse into small groups fighting on their own.
Then it was easily divided by the battle formation of the rebels alternated between far and near, and formed a partial advantage to be wiped out one by one, or through the rotation of the battle, each one was defeated in the limited close combat. This also fully reflects the traditional coldness. In weapon warfare, the combat power bonus and comparative advantage brought by the more organized and disciplined side.
And as the saying goes, it is declining again and again. Once a stalemate is reached, with the exception of a few extraordinarily brave and brave men, the shortcomings and disadvantages of most brutal soldiers in terms of physical continuity and explosive power will become more apparent over time. Therefore, apart from the few soil regiments that filled the two wings and the main formation, they were forcibly broken through and collapsed, they could not shake the main position of the rebel army at all.
Later Zhou Huaian received a return, and the horse team’s pursuit also encountered "setbacks" in a certain sense; many defeated barbarians fled directly into the muddy ridges, or jumped into those river ponds and streams. Then the rebel riders who cherish their mounts had to sigh with excitement, and then dismounted to continue chasing two legs with two legs.
Well, it is expected that at least tens of thousands of brutal soldiers will be able to escape the pursuit; however, they have little organization and no fighting spirit, and they have lost all of their armor and weapons. They are no longer able to use the main force to further pursue and kill; just rely on those Familiar with the local armed forces, it is enough to clean up and deal with them rationally. This is the blood debt of destroying the homeland and the hatred inherited from generation to generation, don't worry that they will not work hard to do it.
"Next, we should take advantage of the victory and pursue..."
Zhou Huaian continued to issue orders and deploy here.
"Then these remaining savages and their accomplices are left forever..."
"Wan Sheng..."
"Long win..."
"Mighty and invincible..."
A cheer with high morale immediately resounded through the wilderness.
Then, on the second day of the rushing camp and marching north, Zhou Huaian met the messenger from the other party. He was a barbarian who spoke very well in Mandarin. Apart from embroidered toe caps and chest-breaking bucket shirts, he was almost with Anna Native Tang people are no different.
"Luo's chieftain is willing to join hands with your army to strike out, and to divide the land of Annan's thirteen states..."
The other party talked so eloquently.
"And the Zeng clan in Annan City is also the enemy of the big boss... Now the Luo Department still has tens of thousands of soldiers, and there are many other leaders as allies..."
"If the general is in good spirits, he can also send his troops together to attack them together.. All the goods and the population are not divided, and only the five states of Gannan can be preserved..."
"What is your origin..."
Zhou Huaian suddenly interrupted him in public.
"Small... villain... Shi Ayue..."
The messenger couldn't help being stunned before continuing.
"It's the book leader of Luo's department, who was once added as a doctor in Nanping Prefecture..."
"Put it out and cut it..."
Hearing the last few words, Zhou Huaian suddenly shouted
"The Han thief who has forgotten his ancestors and forgotten his ancestors dares to act as a brute force. Is this deceiving no one in our army..."
"General Rao..."
Then the other party's begging for mercy came out half a sentence, and the guards threw down in the tent proficiently captured and sealed it, and dragged it out of the tent like a dead dog.
"Please also lead the army to calm down..."
At this time, someone in the military account spoke out, but it was Zhang Biao, the leader of the soil group who had surrendered.
"There is no need for such humble people to work anger..."
"It's just that I just killed the ambassador directly, I am afraid it is too cheap and barbaric..."
"With a small and meagre view, it is entirely possible for this generation to be imaginary... to lie to him and to lie to the truth... may be possible to gain something."
"No need..."
Zhou Huaian interrupted without hesitation.
"I should take what I want by myself, and why don't I have to use other people...especially outside prisoners..."
"And the territory of my Han family can be coveted and traded by the locals..."
"My generation has been following the example of the sages of Ma Fubo and others, and we have done our best to eliminate evil and Yongding Nanjiang will be..."
During the words, a deadly head was presented, and Zhou Huaian looked at it disgustingly and waved it out.
"Hang on the flagpole to pass the first round of parade, and tell the army and the common people along the way, the local group is courageous..."
"Before the last barbarian who set foot on this land dies, those who dare to make a peace with foreign enemies are national traitors and Han thieves, and they end up like this." (End of this chapter)
