Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 398 Victory in the First Battle
Chapter 100 won the first battle
In fact, there is no shortage of famous generals who are good at mountain combat in Chinese history, let alone mountain combat troops.As early as the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang worshiped Tu Sui as a national captain and led an army of 50 to the expedition.Divided into five armies, they attacked Tancheng (now Jing County, Hunan), Jiuyi (now Ningyuan, Hunan), Panyu (now Guangzhou, Guangdong), Nanye (now Nankang, Jiangxi), and Yugan (now Yugan, Jiangxi). At first, Tu Sui was invincible and progressed smoothly, but Jie Jun, the military leader of the Xiou Tribal Alliance, ambushed Tu Sui and defeated the Qin army.

Later, Qin Shihuang changed his commander to Zhao Tuo, who was born as an iron eagle warrior in Qin State.

The iron eagle warriors of the Qin Dynasty can be said to be the originator of today's special forces.General Sima Cuo of the Qin State borrowed Wu Qi’s method of training Wei’s soldiers and selected elite soldiers from the Qin army. A broad short sword, a fine iron dagger, twenty long arrows on the back, a hard iron bow, a cowhide shield, three days' worth of rations, and a continuous march of a hundred miles with such things.The total weight of these things weighed about 1000 kilograms. Such a high training intensity was really beyond the reach of ordinary people. No wonder only more than [-] recruits were selected out of the [-] recruits.According to this standard, it is really stricter than the selection of special forces in some countries now, and I have to admire the Qin army at that time.

After Zhao Tuo became the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition Corps, he summed up the lessons of Tu Sui's failure and combined with the training of some iron eagle warriors, the Qin Dynasty's Southern Expedition Army can also be regarded as the first mountain warfare force in Chinese history.

Of course, there are very few records dedicated to the Qin Dynasty's Southern Conquest Army, so everyone is very unfamiliar with the Qin Dynasty's Southern Conquest Army.However, another mountain warfare in ancient China was very famous, and that was the Wudang Flying Army created by Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms era.After Wudang Flying Army was formed, as soon as Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan Mountain, the whole army was defeated due to Ma Di’s mistake. After the interruption, it was the flying army led by Wang Ping. While fighting to the death, while beating drums to confuse the enemy army, it successfully covered the withdrawal of other ministries On the battlefield, I also retreated completely, which is a small test of my edge. Due to the characteristics of mountain warfare, the Wudang Flying Army is often used to crusade against rebellious ethnic minorities.

Of course, Chen Ying also knew that if young people from the mountainous ethnic groups were recruited to train into the army, it would be more effective, but it was a pity that Chen Ying did not have that condition now.

In fact, Chen Ying is not familiar with mountain warfare, but in the era of information explosion in later generations, Chen Ying is very clear about the trend of military development. Simply put, firepower comes first.Among them, the former Soviet Union played the most ruthless. They concentrated their forces to attack one point, opened the gap, and the entire battalion, the entire regiment, and even the entire army rushed in until they crushed the enemy's defense line. Of course, they encountered the Germans and the Soviets. The casualties were very heavy.Of course, the U.S. military played the most smoothly with firepower first. First, the three-dimensional attack, the overwhelming bomber bombardment, and then the heavy artillery bombardment day and night, and finally the densely packed tanks swarmed up. Of course, after encountering resistance, They will definitely not attack, but retreat immediately and continue to cover with firepower.

Chen Ying convened a meeting with all the generals above the school lieutenant led by Dongzi Youwei, and explained to them the points to be noted in the characteristics of mountain warfare: "Mountain warfare has very special characteristics of mountain warfare, narrow space, unable to deploy troops at the same time, and multi-army coordination. Like now, our regiment-based reorganization is not suitable for mountain warfare!"

The combat tactical unit of the Tang Dynasty was the regiment, which could be divided into center base, garrison cavalry, shooting students, Yue cavalry, infantry, long water, and long soldiers according to functions and equipment.

The so-called Yue cavalry army, "New Book of Tang Bing Zhi": "Anyone who is a soldier at the age of [-] is exempted from sixty. Those who can ride and shoot are Yue cavalry." Explained in simple words, this is the light cavalry .Tuen cavalry are heavy cavalry.The infantry is light infantry, and the middle base is heavy infantry. In the era of Tang Xuanzong, the Tang Dynasty began to form the Modao army, and the middle base regiment in Zhechongfu was completely replaced by the Modao regiment.Shesheng, as the name suggests, is a crossbowman.Changshui does not mean water army, but refers to the name of Xuanqu River. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wuhuan and Hu cavalry were in charge of Changshui and Xuanqu.In the Tang Dynasty, it could be understood that it belonged to the army.Long soldiers are military units that specialize in handling long weapons, such as spears and spears.

However, among the six ranks of the East Palace, there is no Changshui regiment.

Wei Wenzhong asked: "How does the general want to change?"

Chen Yingdao: "Everything is disrupted, with groups as the unit. Each group still has ten people under its jurisdiction, three each for center base and infantry, two each for shooters and two long soldiers. Each team still has five groups under its jurisdiction. Name them one, two, three, four, and five!"

Du Shanguo, who joined the army in the recording room, said doubtfully: "Our right guard has five Zhechongfus under its jurisdiction, a total of 25 regiments, including five regiments each of Shesheng and Yueqichang, with thousands of people. The middle base and infantry regiments have only [-] regiments. Five regiments."

Chen Ying nodded and said: "For the part where the shooting sound is insufficient, let the Yue cavalry regiment dismount temporarily to make the shooting sound. As for the part where the long soldiers are insufficient, then cut wood into spears. This general will ask His Royal Highness for equipment, and strive for half of the soldiers. Complete the dress-up work within a month!"

Then Chen Ying told the generals the six tactical principles of the later generations of the four fields. This is the first time Chen Ying has taken out dry goods. The six tactical principles are the tactical principles summed up by Lin Shuai (avoiding harmony), Luo Shuai, and General Liu. , simply put, it is one point and two sides, four fast and one slow, and three fierce.

Fortunately, the rate of Donggong Youwei is different from that of the other guards. These generals all fought against the Turks with Chen Ying, and they have very rich combat experience.After nearly two hours of preparation, the reorganization, reequipment and deployment of each department were completed in an orderly manner.

Feng Li was also preparing nervously, with three guards leading a total of thirteen Zhechong Mansion's superior force nearly three times, if he still couldn't beat Chen Ying, then he would have no face staying in the East Palace.Of course, Feng Li also knew that this was a drill, not a real fight, and it was impossible for Chen Ying to do everything he could to deal with the Turkic people. At least during his attack on the mountain, Chen Ying did not dare to let the soldiers smash the stones on the mountain. Just smash it down.

You must know that the most difficult thing is to face the rolling wood and stones on the mountain in the upward attack. Often, in the battle of attacking the mountain, more than half of the casualties are caused by the impact of the rolling wood or the stones.But when the attack started, Feng Li couldn't laugh immediately.

Although Yujing Mountain is not big, its main offensive is only the gentle slope in the south, or the slightly steeper slopes in the northeast and east. As for the west, there is no need to consider it at all. The mountain has been dug into a nearly vertical cliff, and unless they can grow wings, there is no way to attack it.

Even taking a ladder won't work, because they don't have any ladders more than ten feet high.

Yu Chigong was used as the first wave of offensive echelon, but Yuchi Gong would be scolded when he attacked once.Because in just two hours, Chen Ying poured a layer of cold water on the gentle slope on the south side. In such a cold weather, it immediately froze into an ice surface, smooth as a mirror. Although the slope is relatively gentle, it is not slippery. Yes, a regiment from Yuchi Gong's department climbed on foot.

However, before Chen Ying's troops could shoot the arrows, the regiment fell down with bruises and swollen faces, and dozens of soldiers had broken legs, feet and arms.

Feng Li was furious and ordered to continue the attack.

This time Feng Li ordered Yuchi Gong's troops to carry the firewood that had been prepared, and pave the road while advancing, so that there would not be so many injuries from falls.

However, at this moment, the defenders on the top of the mountain poured the boiled snow water down, and more than [-] people from Yuchi Gong's troops were drowned.

In such a cold weather, once poured with cold water, it will be turned into ice flowers immediately.

In desperation, Yu Chigong had no choice but to order these soldiers to retreat and change their clothes quickly, otherwise problems would really easily occur.

But I never thought that before these soldiers retreated, countless big fireballs rolled down from the top of the fire.

At the same time, Yu Chigong also received an order from Chen Ying: "More than [-] people under his command have been killed!"

Yu Chigong said inexplicably, "How could he be killed in battle?"

Chen Ying didn't pay attention to Yu Chigong at all, and Feng Li fell silent immediately after receiving this order.What Chen Ying said was right, if the fire oil was poured instead of water, then these soldiers would have been buried in the sea of ​​fire by now.

Feng Li wasn't discouraged either. Although the loss of more than [-] people was said to be traumatic, it didn't mean he didn't have a chance.

Feng Li ordered the rate of the left and right commanders plus the rate of the left guard, and the remaining [-] troops were divided into three groups and continued to attack.

PS: I'm very sorry, the circuit rectification of the community today requires ten o'clock to call, so I went to the Internet cafe to code, but Lao Cheng couldn't calm down in the Internet cafe. He only wrote a chapter in three hours, and the follow-up will be later.
