Chapter 57
The core of a war is undoubtedly the total logistics and total volume.
Even though he had won seven battles and seven victories since entering Guangnan, his strength expanded to this point, Zhao Ping'an was not so disappointed that he thought he could destroy Nong Zhigao in one battle.
But the watershed of opportunity, initiative, and morale does not require reference to the total amount. If used properly, it can be reversed by sending surprise troops at one time.
To a certain extent, in addition to being a famous military master compared to this era, Nong Zhigao's morale was also obtained through the early stage of surprise victory. As long as he keeps winning, he will always be happy.
This is the tactical consideration of Zhao Ping'an, who was always steady in the sword, took the wrong approach and took the opportunity to attack the important city of Guangzhou.
You can't play without a fight. If you don't play Guangzhou now, it will be more stable and you will never lose again. It's just a matter of time before you win.
But after referring to multiple factors, the Yellow River has broken more than one broken point, Zhao Ping'an also feels that the Song Dynasty now needs a victory to stabilize its mentality.
There is no need to win over Nong Zhigao. As long as you have a severe blow and have an unexpected "cold heart", then the mentality and morale of Guangdong and Guangxi can change.
The battle headquarters of the Guangnan Camp is a team of mentor Zhao personally brainwashed. In the past two months, they have fought thousands of miles and fought with the enemy many times. Therefore, no matter where they came from before joining the camp, they are considered elite today.
This time, when he came out of Guangzhou, he specially selected 3,500 out of the 7,000 people, and he was even more elite among the elite.
One of the few rations was squeezed from the hands of women and children in the entire camp.
"Is the decisive battle going to happen?"
"The decisive battle is coming."
I remember that countless people who lined up to deliver rations asked this question, and the registered sergeants also answered this question.
The best equipment collected since the battle for thousands of miles was also concentrated on the fourteen battalions.
The heavy rain is still continuing, but Zhao Ping'an's troops, who are known for their help, have reached Lishan. Compared with the far journey ahead, Guangzhou is close to the distance.
I have been marching day and night for several days, and I really need to do a temporary renovation here.
The training of troops is used for a thousand days. Since the establishment of Guangnan Camp, Zhao Ping'an taught everyone how to sleep deeply to the greatest extent and to achieve effective rest in the shortest time.
I also teach you how to avoid getting injured after warming up, and how to stretch after extreme marching exercises, so that you will not be tired easily.
These things will not be too obvious for a short time or on individuals, but since the implementation of the military camp rules as a prohibited order, the overall effect has become increasingly obvious during the process of fighting for thousands of miles.
This is basically because the Guangnan camp can stand out and get rid of Nong Zhizhong's tribe several times.
It is also inseparable from Zhao Ping'an's constant brainwashing education and people-friendly in-depth grassroots publicity. This team trusts Zhao Ping'an. After Zhao Ping'an's speech, they will compete with each other for who has done more and can exert their twelve success powers.
Of course, it is a world of difference from being ordered to do things passively.
This is why Zhao Ping'an, who could not ride a horse at that time, was able to ride a horse after a period of time. Zhao Ping'an would communicate with horses, and at a certain time, horses would have the difference between "willing to run to death" and "being forced to run".
"It has been two days since I entered Lishan. If you want to say that the repair has been done, the heavy rain is still continuing. Why do you think my husband has not advanced to Guangzhou yet?"
Zhou Cheng, the former Imperial Army's capital, has now occupied the commander (battalion commander) because of his outstanding performance in combat.
In Lishan, on the eve of the final battle, Zhou Cheng was also very nervous and couldn't figure out why Zhao Ping'an was reluctant to issue orders now.
"Boss, don't worry about these things. My husband is always stable and is constantly sending people to investigate and scout the spots to determine the time and route of the raid."
"If I want to say that raids meant a one-piece effort, and there was no need to think about that much."
"Nonsense, it's just you think. You should be glad that my husband is so smart, hardworking, and so cautious, otherwise he would not be as good as the team today."
"Yes, everything is decided by my husband."
The storm was about to come and the wind filled the building. The more the renovation was before the decisive battle, the more nervous everyone was and talked about it.
"Get together! Emergency gathering! My husband has the order to make meals for half a quarter of an hour and send troops in half an hour!"
The new recruits might not be a little uncomfortable with this unexpected order. But the veterans got used to it. This is how the Guangnan Camp, which started with dozens of warheads at that time, came along.
"Damn it! Hurry up, bastard, have you not eaten?"
Zhou Cheng started kicking people in leather boots. After thinking about it, he didn't eat at all. But as a rough man, he didn't care about this much and was too lazy to admit his mistakes. He just kept kicking people at the top of his throat.
"Head, where will we attack this time?"
The messenger was Zhou Cheng's relative, so he approached to ask.
Zhou Cheng said: "Even as an officer, I don't know."
This is a fact. No one has ever known Zhao Ping'an's ideas. Sometimes even during the march, the front team suddenly becomes the back team.
In Zhou Cheng's memory, after the first time passing Rongshui, he was moving to Liucheng. He walked well, but suddenly he received an order from the back team to the front team to escape.
Sometimes I don’t even know whether Zhao Ping’an is smart or lucky. When he adjusted his direction, he was chased by a main force temporarily invited by Nong Zhizhong from Nong Zhigao’s troops.
To be honest is really dangerous!
The team that had just escaped from west Rongshui was chased by a main force and returned from east to west, crossed Rongshui for the second time, and passed by the oncoming Nong Zhizhong tribe.
The team didn't feel much at that time, just felt tired, kept training, and always marching.
Now when you look back, your feet will be soft. Any time you make a mistake, you will be wiped out.
Similarly, when heavy rains are still ongoing, the troops have only received the order to raise an army in half an hour. However, no one knows which direction to intersperse to avoid Nong Zhigao's investigation website at this time?
"Is it really possible to intersperse? After all, this area fell into the Nong Zhigao area for a long time and has been in operation for a while."
The soldiers were talking.
Zhou Cheng continued to kick people with leather boots: "Hurry, hurry up, stop talking nonsense. I only know that even if it is exposed, the sky will not collapse. It is hard to say when fighting hard, but when it comes to escaping, ask yourself, who has my husband been afraid of? Facing the elite cavalry lineup of Xixia, I dare not say, but as long as my husband takes one step first, there is a mixed army in the world that dares to keep up with me, and I will be more confident. What is Guangzhou? If you can win, you will fight hard. If you can't win, pull up your pants and run away."
The soldier dared to joke with him and laughed: "When the time comes, please help me to cover it and let the soldiers leave first."
"Fart! It's clear that you are protecting me and my husband, letting me go first."
