Chapter 425 The Poor Dai County
Jiang waved his hand and signaled Xu Zhong to retreat, saying lightly: "I will take the initiative to fight against the Huns. This battle will not only win, but also win beautifully!"
The generals in the camp looked solemn when they heard this.
They would not doubt whether Jiang could do it. Jiang's past victory gave them enough confidence. Even if the Huns were the Huns, as long as Jiang said he would take the initiative to fight, he would definitely be sure to win.
Although a arrogant soldier will be defeated, as long as the general keeps his mind and fights steadily, the arrogant soldier can exert stronger combat effectiveness.
Zhao Feng stepped out and said, "Marty, now our army is fully equipped with equipment and sufficient food and supplies. Even if we fight against the Hun cavalry in a field, we are not without the power to fight."
Jiang nodded. Since he had the power to fight, the rest depends on the tactics and strategies of the leaders of both sides.
Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "The best tactic for using infantry to fight cavalry is to build large chariots to surround them to form camps, while soldiers lined up outside the camp, holding halberds and shields in front, and bows and crossbows in the back."
"Secondly, it is to use the Modao to fight the cavalry. This Hou once ordered the Craftsman Camp to build 30,000 Modao, which weighs fifteen kilograms. The soldier waved the Modao in his hand, which could cut the war horse with one knife and two swords."
"Of course, the most important thing is the formation. The 100,000 troops under this marquis have been trained for a long time, and the changes in the formation have long been clear."
In terms of military affairs, Jiang did not expect Xiao He, nor was he proficient in military strategies.
Jiang took Xiao He mainly to manage logistics so that Jiang could spend more time thinking about strategies to respond to the enemy.
There are three major elements for infantry fighting cavalry, one of which is the chariot formation.
During the Han Dynasty, General Li Ling led 5,000 infantry and was surrounded by 30,000 cavalry of the Huns. Li Ling surrounded the chariots as a camp, and the 30,000 cavalrymen fought in one battle and broke out. Li Ling even led his army to pursue the other side.
Needless to say, Modao is nothing more than equipment advantages.
As for the formation, it is nothing more than the cooperation of various types of troops. Jiang has long studied this aspect and has considered the scenes of fighting against cavalry many times.
However, these are just field advantages. Jiang wants to defeat the Huns, his strategy is also indispensable.
Jiang continued: "If our army wants to defeat the Huns, the first thing is to do is night attacks. Night attacks can make the Huns lose their advantage in war horses and collapse in the chaos."
"And the Huns live in the grasslands, and they are more alert than me, the Central Plains people, and they can detect it with a little movement."
"If we want to make the Huns lose their vigilance, the first thing is to do is to get tired of the soldiers. Several pretending to attack at night made the Huns annoyed, thinking that we were just harassing them. After they lost their vigilance, our army could gather troops and decide the Huns in one battle."
Jiang's words made the soldiers unable to help but their blood boil.
What does it mean to plan and win a thousand miles away?
That's it!
Before Jiang Ren arrived in the northern border, he had already come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy, and it was a feasible strategy with a very high chance of victory.
The story of the wolf coming teaches us that we must not lie, because others are deceived once, and after two times, they will no longer believe you again.
But if this story is used in the art of war, you can still defeat the enemy.
Jiang said: "Everyone go down and prepare! This marquis's words today are the highest secret in the army. Who dares to leak them? This marquis will definitely beheaded."
"I will obey the order!"
After the soldiers retreated, Xiao He suddenly said, "Actually, the Marquis doesn't have to inform the generals of the plan to defeat the enemy so early. When we arrive in Dai County, we can let them act according to the plan."
Jiang Xiao said, "Mr. Xiao He's words are extremely true, but the battle with the Huns is not a civil war in the Central Plains. We don't need to worry that some people in the army will be bribed by the Huns. In this way, why not inform the generals in advance and increase the morale of the army?"
Xiao He bowed and said, "Xiao He has received teaching."
Jiang said: "The first marching and fighting is in the logistics department. I would like to ask the sir for the logistics affairs of this marquis."
Xiao He bowed and said, "I will definitely not be humiliated."
...
On the second day, Li Mu led King Qian of Zhao to hold a oath-taking meeting in Handan. After the oath-taking meeting, Jiang led his army to Dai County.
The journey of a large army to march is different from the fast horse report, and the journey of a day is extremely limited.
Normally, the army would set up camp in the evening, make fires and cook, and after resting for a night, they would make breakfast, and then set off the camp and continue to march.
Infantry marching for a day must not exceed eighty miles, otherwise the soldiers will not only lose their combat effectiveness when they are tired, but will also cause trouble.
However, Jiang trains soldiers first, physical fitness, and secondly, armed off-road.
The soldiers under Jiang's command were not only physically excellent, but also could marche normally when carrying heavy loads.
Jiang only has fifteen days, and within fifteen days, he must arrive in the northern border.
Otherwise, once the Huns arrive early and plunder the people in the northern border of Zhao, Jiang Ke will become a sinner.
In order to avoid his fault affecting the people of Zhao State, Jiang rushed to march all the way and directly saved the camping. All soldiers, including Jiang, had to sleep in the wilderness, and sometimes they had to march overnight.
While ensuring four meals a day, the time spent on cooking is eliminated by purging the fire and cooking is marching for seven hours in a day and fourteen hours in one day.
The army galloped under Jiang's order and marched about 150 miles in one day, almost twice the speed of an ordinary army.
In the entire Warring States Period, only Jiang's army could march like this.
The urgent marching tests not only the physical fitness of the soldiers, but also the prestige of the commander in the army.
Jiang arrived in just nine days from Handan to Dai County.
Jiang ordered the entire army to camp and rest for two days. After two days, he set out directly from Dai County to arrive at the border of Zhao State to welcome the Huns.
Jiang Ze led his soldiers into Dai County. After washing up, he met with officials from Dai County in the Hou Mansion.
Dai County, as Jiang, fought against the Xiongnu. The last city behind it, the food and grass transported from Handan must be transferred through Dai County. In addition, Dai County must also collect food and grass from the people for the purpose of fighting in the army.
Sitting in the main seat, Jiang glanced at the surroundings and said with a cold look on his face: "What I saw and heard on the way to the city was shocking. The people of Dai County were all thin and could not eat enough, but the price of Dai County's grain was twice as expensive as Handan. Who can tell me about this, what's going on?"
This is Jiang's first time in Dai County. I only heard that Dai County was poor before, but who would have thought that it would be so poor?
The daily meals of the people are exaggerating.
There are basically no rice grains in a bowl of porridge, but most of them are wild vegetables, and some people even fill their stomachs with wild grass.
When Jiang didn't meet Li Mu, although there was not much surplus at home, she could barely survive the winter if she had a meal a day.
Jiang originally thought that his life was extremely miserable, but Jiang never expected that life was not the worst, only even worse.
The people of Dai County have almost no activities, and in order to maintain enough physical strength, they almost stay at home.
