Big wars cannot be carried out because of the terrain, but small-scale wars continue to occur.

The Liao army sent a small group of soldiers to advance along the ridge of the field for infiltration and reconnaissance, while the Daxia also sent a scout to block it.

Due to the terrain, even horses could not be used, and both sides could only fight on the ridges of the lateral fields with their legs.

This was an extremely cruel close handover. The soldiers on both sides fought on the ridges with primitive bows and arrows, swords and guns, and blood stained the ridges and the bodies lay in the paddy fields.

This is not a large army battle, so it tests the individual's force and the courage of soldiers. At most, a dozen people can be allowed to fight at the same time on the narrow ridges, so cooperation between each other is also extremely important.

After more than ten days of war, both sides suffered serious losses, but the scouts of the Daxia army were even stronger. Although the losses were also great, the Liao army suffered greater losses.

However, the head coaches of both sides did not care too much about this, because this battle would not affect the overall situation, and the final victory still depends on the showdown of the large army.

This infiltration cannot prevent the Liao army from filling the road. In fact, Daxia did not stop it much. First, it was difficult to stop it, but second, it was still a strategic issue.

The progress of the Liao army was slower than Wang Shao imagined. It may be due to the military discipline and terrain. This is a good thing. The longer the time delays, the more room for slowing down the Daxia side.

However, the atmosphere gradually became anxious, perhaps because of the weather or the approaching of a grand war.

For the Daxia army, this anxiety is still within the control range.

After some time of purging the army, the overall military appearance and discipline have been improved, and the Daxia army, which has undergone the war to destroy the Song Dynasty, has actually undergone a complete transformation.

This is not only for soldiers reorganized by the Western Army, but also for soldiers who were originally guards of the Banking Regulatory Commission.

Although soldiers from the Banking Regulatory Commission had experienced the war of suppressing bandits and seizing power in the Western Xia, those were low-intensity wars. The Battle to Destroy Song was a large-scale battle that covered half of the Song Dynasty. Such a major battle was enough for them to complete the transformation from new recruits to veterans.

For officers of the Daxia army, this is also an opportunity to be reborn.

This is true for low-level officers or marshals like Wang Shao.

When capturing the six routes in Shaanxi, a thousand miles of *** generally carried out a large roundabout strategy, penetrated directly into the enemy's hinterland, and seized the area north of the Huai River, and implemented the grand strategy of isolating, capturing the core fortress, and cutting off the enemy's retreat, and training for officers at all levels is unparalleled.

From the cooperation between large armies, the cooperation between divisions, to the coordination among squads, to the coordination among squads, to implementing such a big strategy on such a vast battlefield, more than 200,000 troops are instructed by arms, which requires extremely high military literacy.

Therefore, after experiencing these, the Daxia army has completed its overall transformation.

But for the Liao army, it seems more difficult.

The Liao army was of varying quality and there were too many components. Although it was called 300,000 troops, the regular soldiers were only about 100,000. The rest were just some herders or farmers. They had combat effectiveness, but the military discipline was much different.

Poor military discipline means that there are many people who are in vain, which affects the efficiency of opening the road. So the road was finally opened in about twenty days.

Once the road is opened, the real war will come.

"... Since the road has been clear, the Liao army will arrive in an instant. What are the arrangements between the various departments?"

Wang Shao asked.

Zhe Ju immediately responded: "According to the report, the legions have already been in place. According to our prior arrangements, we will keep a few troops to defend the city. The remaining legions mainly use ambushing and field battles, delaying the time of the Liao army's advance and preventing the Liao army from going around the rear to burn, kill and loot."

Wang Shao nodded: "Send another message to remind them to strengthen their connections, remember to strengthen their connections, remember that the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy stands and disturbs us, and the enemy retreats and we chase them. The key to fighting with more and less is to fight with less. Remember not to show off. With less and more enemies, this is a taboo. Otherwise, even if you win, if the casualties are too great, you will be held accountable afterwards!"

Zheju's face sterned and he shouted: "Yes!"

Wang Shao could naturally cut off the heads of so many soldiers and generals when he captured Jingji Road. Moreover, Wang Shao was more cruel than Zhong Yi. It may be because of the ruthless decisiveness of scholars. When Wang Shao dealt with soldiers who violated discipline and laws, he was mostly harsh and unkind.

Therefore, many generals admire Wang Shao, but they are more afraid. However, following Wang Shao also has benefits. Wang Shao has clear rewards and punishments. The key is that he can win battles, and it is a victory with few casualties.

This is very critical.

As the saying goes, a general succeeds and has thousands of bones. Wang Shao’s reputation is very high in strategic height and tactical skills. Therefore, most of the battles he fights are more and less, so there will naturally be few casualties. Although the generals and officials are afraid of his severity, they are willing to fight with him.

As long as he does not violate military discipline, Wang Shao will do good to them, and the rewards he deserves will not be small. When helping his subordinates compete for resources, Wang Shao often runs ahead to help them fight for them.

If you can save your life and be promoted, such a chief official is of course worth following.

Zheju did not dare to neglect, so he quickly copied the order.

Commands are not simple text, but encrypted. If the password book is not intercepted in advance, even if the command is intercepted, it will be just a loneliness.

When he issued the order, news from all over the place flew like snowflakes. The entire staff office was to process this information, then piece it together and summarize it, restore it to the actual situation on the front line, and then report it to Wang Shao to learn about it.

This step is very critical. If their summary is incorrect, most of the commands drawn will not be correct.

However, this kind of thing rarely happens. The Staff Office formed by Ouyang Bian has a unique method of summarizing information that is different from the current era. This is a more advanced Staff Team, which is still different from the Staff members of the current era.

It is precisely because of this advanced staff team that the Daxia army can fight very well.

Generally speaking, it is not difficult to formulate a grand strategy. Many grand strategies are even correct, but the final result is often failure. It is not that the strategy is wrong, but that the execution ability is not good.
