"Which one is Yue Fei?" The white-robed general was extremely handsome. He rode forward and asked loudly. [~]- -
"That's me! I wonder who you are?" Yue Fei had jumped off his horse at this moment. He vaguely guessed the identity of this person, but he was not sure.
"I am Hua Rong." Hua Rong said with a smile.
"See Hua Shuai!" Yue Fei hurriedly stood up and gave a military salute! At this moment, the rest of the officers and soldiers of the Third Army also got off their horses and gave Hua Rong a military salute.
"I thought it would take a few days for you to arrive at Jinzhou City, but I didn't expect you to arrive so soon!" Hua Rong returned a military salute to the officers and soldiers and said with a smile.
He smiled while looking at Yue Fei, knowing that this was the main general in the Hedong Theater. Although Hedong has a very good geographical location and a large population, Hedong's military development has been very slow. Over the years, if it weren't for
The Western Army attacked and a large number of reserves were converted into active service. I am afraid that Hedong will still have the original 100,000 people! Hedong lacks military
General, although Lin Chong is a veteran in the army, Lin Chong is good at training troops but not good at leading troops. Hu Yanzhuo is also very senior, but Hu Yanzhuo has no other skills except chain horses. Even for chain horses, these
It has not been established in years. As for Wu Song, although he is Wu Dong's brother and has extremely strong martial arts, his military ability is also very average.
All in all, Hedong has only produced a good general like Yue Fei in recent years! Hua Rong looked at Yue Fei carefully. He found that although Yue Fei was young, his eyes were shining, which gave him a good feeling.
Yue Fei was standing there respectfully at this moment, looking humble.
Hua Rong and his teacher Lin Chong are both veterans in the army, equivalent to his elders. He does not dare to be rude in front of Hua Rong. Speaking of which, both of them are "legion commanders", but the difference between the legion commanders is also very different.
Large. The Third Army is only one of the three armies in Hedong, while the Northern Army is a super army formed by integrating all the troops and horses from Goryeo and Liaodong and selecting them. The Northern Army is far larger in terms of strength and scale than
His third legion.
The total number of the Northern Army has now reached 250,000. There are a large number of generals under the Northern Army. Whether it is Han Shizhong, Yang Xiong, Yang Zhi, etc., they are all very senior. Almost all of them are veterans in the army, and they are all with Wu Dong.
The group of people who came to Goryeo to conquer the world together
In a sense, the Northern Army is also synonymous with the Liaodong Theater. The Northern Army has a night combat system, an intelligence system, and a logistics system. [~] Compared with the Northern Army, Yue Fei's Third Army is only equivalent to the Northern Army.
Just an army
"Hasn't the Grand Governor arrived yet?" Everyone had already mounted their horses again and headed forward. Hua Rong and Yue Fei were together, and he asked.
"The Governor is behind and will be coming soon," Yue Fei said.
"Okay! We'll wait here for the Governor!" Hua Rong said with a smile.
"Aren't we going to attack Jinzhou City now?" Yue Fei asked curiously.
"Surround and don't fight, surround and fight for reinforcements!" Hua Rong said.
"That's right! Wanyan Zongjun is here. We can use him to attract Wanyan Aguda to arrive! If Wanyan Aguda can arrive with the Jurchen army, it will save us a lot of time." Yue Fei immediately reacted and said.
"Very good, you are indeed a man who knows how to fight!" Hua Rong laughed.
It's really good to be able to see Hua Rong's plan at the first time! Hua Rong also secretly admired Yue Fei, a young general.
"You have traveled a long distance and must be very tired. I have already ordered you to set up camp. You can let the soldiers rest for a while," Hua Rong said.
At present, Yue Fei first arranged for the soldiers of the Third Army to rest! At this moment, under Jinzhou City, these soldiers of the Third Army, in addition to being a little strange, also had a mentality of competing with the soldiers of Liaodong. Over the years, Liaodong's status has been far higher than that of Hedong.
On top of that, the status of the Northern Army was far greater than that of the Third Army, and all of them felt dissatisfied.
Yue Fei was actually looking at the soldiers of the Northern Army. He found that these soldiers were elite, and their overall quality was indeed better than that of the Third Army.
It should be noted that the Northern Army is truly composed of veterans. Almost all soldiers have experienced several years of war. Some soldiers even followed Wu Dong from Liangshanbo to Goryeo, and then from Goryeo to Liaodong! The Third Army
Previously they were composed of reserves. Apart from the attack on Yanyun, they have hardly experienced many wars in recent years. In this regard, they are not as good as the Northern Army.
In addition, the weapons and equipment of the Northern Army are far more than those of the Third Army. More than 200,000 people in the Northern Army have already changed their equipment. All soldiers have new weapons and new armor. There are also a large number of soldiers in the Northern Army.
Artillery exists, even if it is a conventional siege weapon, it has been re-researched by countless craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences. The power of these conventional siege weapons is far better than those possessed by the Third Army.[~]
Although there are many soldiers in the Northern Army, everything here seems orderly. Yue Fei's army has just entered here, and they all feel that they seem to have become a member of this "order". Yue Fei was secretly surprised, not knowing
How the Northern Army did this.
The military camp here is well laid out, and there are countless trenches, fences, iron caltrops and other defensive measures outside the military camp. Even if the military camp is attacked by a sneak attack, there will not be much damage.
After Yue Fei arranged all the soldiers, he began to go to the headquarters of the Northern Army.
He took Han Chang and several other generals along the way and frowned secretly. He found that the number of people here was not only more than 200,000, but more than 500,000.
"Why are there so many people here?" Yue Fei couldn't help but ask after meeting Luan Tingyu who greeted them.
"In addition to soldiers, we have also recruited more than 300,000 civilians from Goryeo! These civilians have been systematically trained and can even take up arms to fight the enemy when necessary! We have been working on this battle for almost a year
It's ready." Luan Tingyu smiled.
Last year, the Liaodong Theater had plans to advance westward, but it was not implemented. It was not until the beginning of this year that the two armies were combined to open up the Liaodong and Yanyun Passes.
"What are they doing over there?" Yue Fei nodded and suddenly pointed into the distance and asked.
In the distance, countless civilians are building something there, which looks like a huge building.
"They are building a fortress." Luan Tingyu said.
"Build a fortress?" Yue Fei was stunned.
"Although Hua Shuai has decided to surround the area for reinforcements, there are still 70,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses in Jinzhou City. If Wanyan Aguda comes over and Jinzhou City Yingwaihe, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. So we must strangle Jinzhou City to death first.
, Although we will not attack them, we must prevent them from attacking us! These fortresses are designed to deal with them." Luan Tingyu said.
"Why are there so many soldiers in Jinzhou City?" Yue Fei said in surprise.
As far as he knew, there were only 50,000 soldiers in Jinzhou City. They had wiped out 10,000 Jinzhou City reinforcements on the way before. Now there should be only more than 40,000 soldiers in Jinzhou City.
"When our northern army attacked Guangning Prefecture, Yizhou and other places, all the soldiers and horses from those cities fled to Jinzhou City! Wanyan Zongjun is worthy of being Wanyan Agu's son, and he has some talents. It is said that he sent soldiers from various places
Ma’s orders! We’re going to build here
Build five forts and surround Jinzhou City. Even if they come out, they will be blocked by the forts! And in addition to the forts, there are trenches between the forts. If there is enough time, we can even use the Great Wall to connect the various forts.
Get up!" Luan Tingyu laughed.
"How much work does this require?" Yue Fei said in disbelief.
"With hundreds of thousands of civilians, it won't take long! Moreover, we have transported enough bricks, tiles and cement from Goryeo, which are just in use now." Luan Tingyu said.
"Cement, what is that?" Yue Fei asked curiously.
"It's a kind of construction material. It was developed by the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences under the command of the Governor." Luan Tingyu said.
More than 300,000 people are working continuously here. It only takes a few days for the fortress to be established. By then, a large number of trebuchets, crossbowmen, and artillery are set up, and the Jurchen soldiers in Jinzhou City can't even think of it.
come out.
"Come on, we're at the military headquarters! Come in!" Luan Tingyu said with a smile.
Here, huge camps are connected together, and the operations, intelligence, and logistics offices of the Northern Army are all here.
After Yue Fei came here, he realized that there were more than a thousand people here, and he also felt how perfect the system here was.
Intelligence from various places is continuously sent here, including information from Jinzhou City, information from Liaodong and Korea, as well as information from Shangjing, Zhongjing and other places. The Intelligence Department will screen this information and send it to the Operations Department, which will then process the intelligence.
Conduct systematic research, speculate on any possible enemy attack directions, and then formulate various combat plans against the imaginary enemy.
The Intelligence Department, Operations Department, and Logistics Department of the military department are a whole. From intelligence collection to the formulation and organization of strategic campaign plans, to command and deployment, coordination of the relationships among various armies, and to logistics distribution work, everything is
It comes from here, and everything is in order. Every member of the military department is an elite in the military, and many are combat heroes. They enter here after going through systematic study in the military academy and become a part of it.
Yue Fei looked at everything in front of him, and his heart became more and more shocked. He felt that there was a fundamental difference between the Northern Army and the Hedong Army. Among the Hedong Army, he and several generals commanded the army, while the Northern Army in front of him
A group directs the war, and the military commander is only a part of this group.
In fact, this is the biggest difference between the ancient military system and the modern military system. In the ancient military system, the victory or defeat of the war was determined by the commander. The commander determines the future and destiny of the army. In the modern military system, the role of the commander is gradually weakened.
, the General Staff Headquarters, composed of military elites, replaced the military commander and became the command center of the army. The General Staff Headquarters determines the fate of the army. The military headquarters of the Northern Army has now initially assumed the role of the General Staff Headquarters in later generations, responsible for regulating intelligence.
All aspects of combat and logistics.
If history had not changed, it would not have been until hundreds of years later that the staff system was first born in Europe in the 17th century. After that, the staff system was continuously improved in Germany until the establishment of the German "Staff Headquarters". The Germans believed that they had a
The importance of a perfect staff system is far more important than having a wise commander. No wise commander in history can compare to a perfect staff system.
In more than three hundred years of modern times, Germany has not had any military commander comparable to Napoleon. However, the strength of the German army dominates Europe. The fundamental reason is that its leading military system is the reason.
By the end of the 19th century, because the German army was strong, countries all over the world began to learn from the German army and established modern staff systems. This included Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Japan. An important symbol of the increase in Japan's military power in modern times was the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters.
, later Japanese war plans for invading China all came from the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters.
After 1949, China also established the General Staff. However, China followed the Soviet system to prevent the military commander from having too much power, so the General Staff was decentralized. The real General Staff should be the General Staff, General Administration, General Logistics, etc. of modern China.
From the recruitment of soldiers to the training of soldiers, from the formulation of military plans to the execution of military plans, all the way to logistics and military supplies, the General Staff is responsible for the collection of various headquarters. The General Staff is the real military command center.
The current Northern Army Headquarters is just such a primitive general staff or staff headquarters. Hua Rong is just the leader of this organization. Even if the Northern Army does not have Hua Rong, the military headquarters can still formulate a complete combat plan.
And to implement this plan perfectly, this is where the advanced nature of the staff system lies. Please go to the first release without ads - -
