Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh
Chapter 287: Strong outside and hard at the same time
Ye Tao smiled and said, "After taking down the Changshi Pass, the Zhenbei Army Department has already let us come and go. Your Majesty's request is to train troops, so the Zhenbei Army Department is the most suitable. Yunzhou can invest about twenty battalions at a time, and launch a short attack to eliminate most of the troops of the Zhenbei Army Department, and practice the maintenance of this subject after occupation. After taking down the Zhenbei Army Department, if you can master Qingping Road and Xiejiabao, you do not need to maintain much force in the Zhenbei Army Department to maintain it. The army can be recycled to Yunzhou. The time is short, but the purpose of training has also achieved
.After capturing the Zhenbei Army Division, there is no need to worry about Xiling's attack on Taizhou, because once Chunnan fights, they can't draw much troops to deal with us. But I dare not attack the northern tribes, because the road repairs on the Benlang are still in progress, and the logistics really cannot be supplied. If we don't fight the Western Army, it is not a matter of concern for the agreement with the Gao family, but from Yunzhou to the Western Army, the wilderness is continuous, and it is easy to form a stalemate. Once the battle takes a long time, the winning or losing is a matter of two things, but Gondor has no time and no money to build it."
Zhuo Mang nodded after hearing this and said, "Ye Tao, it seems that you have put in a lot of effort, right? This doesn't seem like a trick I thought of temporarily."
"You have to pick the soft persimmons." Ye Tao said frankly: "After the Samir family reached an agreement with us, Yunzhou was preparing to move westward. But after looking at several plans, I originally thought that the plan to open up the northern tribes to move westward is much more difficult than to fight the Zhenbei Army Division and then move northward. Regarding how to fight the Zhenbei Army Division, Yunzhou has more than one plan. Zhenbei Army Division has a strong external force and a middle-level effort."
Ye Tao does not like fighting very much, but he is not afraid of fighting. Especially this kind of high organization and explosive combat that requires short-term high-level organization and explosive power is the specialty of the Yunzhou army brought by Ye Tao. As for whether the Yunzhou army is willing to fight? It seems that this has never been a problem. Yunzhou is always warlike from top to bottom. The veterans who were classified as the farm and ranch of the Farms of the Farms actively trained without supervision, just to be able to return to the army, and they were actually smarter from their original comrades and subordinates.
There is a new training outline to update your training content... The fifty battalions are being prepared. Whether the dressing is completed or not, the basic training is implemented very well. Everyone is trying to see how powerful they are now. Although Yunzhou has never had a major battle plan, various drills have never been stopped. Officers at all levels always keep hinting, asking the Legal Office to agree to a short-term attack and make some military achievements. Ye Tao estimated that most people just wanted to "relax".
That's it. Even Dai Yun, who was very patient, seemed not satisfied with conducting battle deductions on the sand table. He had taken out the gradually improving Zhongjun camp several times to cooperate with other troops to practice. As for the tribe on the Benlang Yuan, which had fought every year in Xiao Zhan, although some of the elite soldiers were sent out to form Jingyun cavalry, although sheeping, sheep sheep, and wool textile industry were planning to establish a permanent settlement on the Benlang Yuan, a tribe's own city, etc.
The tribal warriors on the Benlang Yuan had a lot to be busy with, but they did not forget to fight. Because the supply of armed forces, food, side dishes and medicinal materials of the tribal warriors improved in all aspects, the tribal warriors actually fought better. In the past, the northern tribes went south at different scales almost every year, but this summer began. Many tribes on the Benlang Yuan began to "counterattack" on a small scale. Because of the small scale, no one was ready to fight, and Ye Tao only received some reports that were not painful or itchy.
If the news spreads and says that a large-scale battle against Xiling will be carried out, about twenty battalions of troops will be used, Ye Tao guessed that the documents he could receive would be as high as a building. It was Yunzhou, a place with more and more specialties, but always produces warriors.
On the other hand, the Zhenbei Military Office is not so ideal. The main problem is that Jiang Xujing has never been able to combine the various forces of the Zhenbei Military Office, let alone comprehensively update the technical, equipment and combat command. The Zhenbei Military Office still has a total of nearly 200,000 military strength. After the defeat in the battle in Yunzhou, although Jiang Xujing was able to send some yamen-type figures back to the court to serve and not stay in a dangerous place like Zhenbei Military Office that is not suitable for military merits, he himself changed from the original Defu public expectations to the current walking on thin ice. The losses of his troops were not serious, but Ni Sigui, who originally thought he was helping, and Jia Qingyun, had not been able to truly restore his strength. The inclusion and rectification of Zhao Li's army had just been completed, and there were names such as X-Battles in various places.
Several troops under Jiang Xujing's command. The most critical professional army had less than 100,000 people. Among the remaining troops, the strongest combat power was the escort army of Emperor Daomingzong. Although the escort army dared to fight and fight, Jiang Xujing dared to use the escort army in the most important position when encountering tough battles, it was only limited to defensive operations. The escort army was mixed with ordnance, and could still hold the enemy back by religious fanaticism in defensive operations, and would not easily disintegrate even if the casualties rate exceeded half. However, the escort army was almost completely unable to be used for attack operations because their mobility was too poor. The escort army had expanded to more than 40,000 people when Jiang Xujing turned a blind eye. But there were only 6,000 to 8,000 war horses of age ranging from 6,000 to 8,000 war horses.
In addition, what made Jiang Xujing worried was the strong erosion shown by the apology army in the territory of Zhenbei Military Division. In order to expand its power, the missionary activities of the apology army and local Daoming religious priests and the incitement of believers have made Jiang Xujing feel uneasy. Because once the apology army encounters things related to Daomingzong, it will often be out of control. For example, recently, Daomingzong has had a relationship with the Leiyin Demon Sect, which flourished in the southern part of Taizhou and Zhenbei Military Division.
There have been many conflicts of big and small. Because Sun Boping and the Leiyin Demon Sect are close, they naturally maintain the Leiyin Demon Sect. Because the Zhenbei Military Department's various consumptions have to pass through Sun Boping's hands, although he does not agree with Sun Boping's protection of the Leiyin Demon Sect, he cannot be too lenient because of the escort army under his command. In this way, even the escort army has different voices towards Jiang Xujing. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Zhenbei Military Department is a strong outside and a middle-level man.
The decline in the combat effectiveness of the army and the passage in and out of Xiling are still in the hands of Yunzhou. In addition to the various internal discord factors, Jiang Xujing, a cavalry general in the North Country, who is not considered a long-range man outside the command of the army, was overwhelmed by the support. After the battle of Yunzhou, he returned to Beijing twice to report his work. During the second report, he did not lead any troops except his own personal guards, which was a very obvious attitude. As for how to deal with Sun Boping in the past year, he had gone to Taizhou to meet with Sun Boping several times in the past year to coordinate the matters about the Leiyin Demon Sect and the Daoming Sect, it was nothing. These repeated actions of leaving the Zhenbei Military Office itself clearly demonstrated Jiang Xujing's control over the Zhenbei Military Office and the reduction of his trust.
Although Ye Tao did not operate another intelligence system for Xiling in addition to the Dongping Intelligence Bureau, his good relationship with the Intelligence Bureau, coupled with the Leiyin Demon Sect, and someone like Sun Boping can provide information to him. In particular, Sun Boping also has a great responsibility to provide Zhenbei Military Department. He has a lot of knowledge about Zhenbei Military Department. Although Ye Tao does not like the feeling of being in a high position, as a strategic envoy in Yunzhou, he can also be called diligent. At least he has never shirked away from these documents and other things he should read.
A thought flashed through Ye Tao's mind, and he immediately expressed the idea. His idea was to keep preparing quietly, and then mobilize the entire Yunzhou area fifteen days before launching an offensive against Xiling. All the troops will arrive at the pre-determined location one by one, eat, rest, and then continue to march, and then enter Xiling in the pre-determined order. After conducting high-intensity continuous combat for no more than one and a half months, the troops and civil affairs officials who took over the local defense entered one after another, consolidate the results achieved in the Zhenbei Military Office in the shortest time, and then the main combat troops
Except for the garrison troops, the entire operation will leave. The total time is no more than three months. During these three months, almost every unit that is put into combat will continue to move and fight... and the careful preparations in advance, the carefully designed deception, and the troops stationed in Yunzhou have been constantly making various feints in the past few months. There is also a time that is too short to organize a large-scale offensive. If it can be implemented smoothly, when the surrounding opponents, especially the Beiliao Western Route Army, prepare to launch an offensive, they will find that all the troops have returned to their starting position, and the offensive they have prepared has lost their meaning.
After Ye Tao finished speaking, he also admitted that in fact, this combat method is very similar to the actions carried out by Tong Bingwen's troops after the capture of Xunshan Pass when the Blood Qi Army first attacked. It is indeed possible to turn explosive operations into stalemate operations, but the various military operations before and after that were completely different. All of the people present were experts in military command, and they were immediately attracted by this kind of adventure and crazy idea.
. Such a battle does take considerable risks. If it is caught in a stalemate, even if Sun Boping constantly drags the hindrance of the North Army Division, it will still make things very troublesome. At that time, due to Chunnan's offensive, it is unlikely that Xiling will draw enough troops to fight, but the Beiliao Western Route Army will not be certain. Although it has reached an agreement with Gao Senqi, Ye Tao has no doubt that once he finds that there is a advantage, the Gao family will definitely launch an attack without hesitation.
