When the army was summoned, Su Ce was not idle. This time the 270,000 troops came out to fight, the pressure on Su Ce was not small.
As a military leader, Su Ce has no shortage of wealth and means, and even exceeds many people's expectations.
But Su Ce was in the army, except for the previous battle at Zuowuguan, which blocked the mouths of some people. But if you block your mouths, you may not be convinced.
The success of annihilating Hu was so great that even the saint and the prince were unwilling to give up. However, the prince rallied the Western Army and raised more than 100,000 troops to march north. However, a sudden annihilation and quick victory turned the war into a war of attrition.
Although they are not defeated now, they are unable to fight anymore. Counting the wars between Daqian and Jiuhu, although the two sides have not issued a so-called declaration of war, they are fighting openly and relying on hard power, and small-scale attacks are only Limited to scouts and patrols on both sides.
But this time the prince was different. Several large armies made a surprise attack. The knife was swung down. It was not the Jiuhu who received the knife, but the Russian. The Russian who accidentally hit the passenger car was annoyed. The Jiuhu raised their troops. Now that the Jiuhu people have learned their lesson, there was no way before. If they wanted to go south, they let their precious cavalry go head-to-head with the Daqian army. Now with the cooperation of the Russian infantry regiments, the Jiuhu people harassed, divided, and surrounded. Strangulation... all kinds of cavalry methods were used.
The prince's army could not fight and run fast, and was forced to retreat slowly. Although they did not lose their armor, they diverted almost all the cavalry in the 150,000-strong army into the retreat.
Later, the saint forced the Anbei Protectorate to send 150,000 troops. The Russians had to stop the pursuit at first sight. But how could the prince, who had suffered a huge loss, be willing to allow the Russians to retreat? The Anbei army in the rear guarded the retreat, so the prince simply set up camp and stuck to the enemy. Upper Russians.
If you think about it carefully this time, the people of Russia are actually quite innocent. The prince wanted to destroy Hu, but the people of Russia blocked the way. The prince's army defeated many castles in Russia with their faces covered, and the clay men were also very bloody. The prince of Russia personally led the army to pursue them. , but now the 150,000-strong army in Anbei is staring at them, unable to attack, unable to retreat.
The camps of both sides stretched for twenty miles. After several small-scale battles, they set up camps along the low hills on the cold plain. At this time, the battlefield had reached a stalemate. To break the situation, the input of external forces was needed.
Daqian had the Anbei Protectorate behind him, but King Rus felt more and more that his crown was unstable.
Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. War is a major matter related to the country, and a matter related to the survival of the country, so war must be used with caution.
Waging a war requires consuming resources and sacrificing human lives, and these are all obtained from the common people. If resources are invested in waging a war, but nothing is gained and a surplus is obtained, it will be fatal to a country.
When resources are consumed and human lives are lost without compensation, internal conflicts will inevitably expand. When internal conflicts expand to a certain extent, it will lead to the collapse of the country.
Da Qi's conquest of Jiuhu is a typical example. Daqi's first conquest of Jiuhu mobilized more than one million troops and nearly five million servants. It can be said to be huge, but in the end, because Jiuhu retreated, there was no way. Dinghe did not fight the Daqi army. It was okay to fight lightly but not to fight a decisive battle. As a result, Daqi failed in its first battle against the Hu. Later, it raised troops several times to fight the main force of the Jiuhu, but they all ended in failure.
In the end, the Jiuhu people gave in. On the surface, they seemed to be surrendering, but in fact they were not surrendering at all. They were still a major threat to Da Qi. Da Qi's three conquests against Jiuhu failed to achieve its strategic goals.
When a country launches a war, military expenditures come from the national finance, which mainly comes from taxation. Once a war is launched, if a country's economy is not particularly good, taxation will put a lot of pressure on the people. If the war continues for a long time, this pressure will be very great.
It will be long-lasting and have a great impact on economic growth. People may be unemployed and homeless. In this case, the country will be under internal and external pressure.
In the process of Daqi's conquest of Jiuhu, on the one hand, it increased taxes, and on the other hand, it increased corvee labor. Many young laborers did not go to farm because they had to fight, which caused a lot of damage to agricultural production and grain production at that time.
Insufficient food resulted in a lot of hunger and the phenomenon of cannibalism.
Under the circumstances, Jiuhu has retained its strength and its army has become more elite. More importantly, Daqi has lost popular support. Other internal forces have seen the decline of the dynasty, and some forces have begun to plan for rebellion.
, paving the way for the subsequent demise of Da Qi.
If Emperor Qi Xian had not abdicated, I am afraid that the Yin family would have been expelled long ago, and the prosperity of the Duke of Qi would never have been possible.
The Daqi State was inherited from Daqian, and during the Hundred Years of Daqian campaign, the Imperial Guards of Daqi moved westward and became the Protectorate of Anxi. The Qianzhou Army, which was founded in Daqian, turned into the Imperial Guards of Daqian to guard the two roads of Beijing and Ji. From the Dragon Army, Longyou
The forces transformed into the Anbei Protectorate and started a century-old war with the Jiuhu. The Shandong clan supported the Antong Protectorate to expand to the northeast, and the Jiangnan nobles supported the Annan Protectorate to advance to ancient Jiaozhi.
Su Ce wants to decide the outcome in a battle. This time he will definitely not be able to let the tiger go back to the mountain. In the past, the military commanders of the Anbei Protectorate were many people who respected themselves for raising the bandits. Otherwise, with the support of the emperors of the Daqian Dynasty, how could he not be able to defeat a fragmented one for a hundred years?
of Jiuhu.
Nowadays, the Rus are expanding from west to east, and their influence has spread to the north of Langyan Mountain. Isn't this another "big enemy" since Jiuhu?
Therefore, Su Ce wanted to destroy Jiuhu, and the evil intentions of Luosi had long been known to the world. Anbei's line could not lose its enemies, otherwise Anbei's cross sword could only slash at the country.
The military, the most violent group in the political system since ancient times, will only hurt itself if there is no channel for releasing violence. Otherwise, there will be no such thing as Ma Fang Nanshan. Isn’t it because the military has the power to subvert the regime?
The destructive power, the enemy-less Northern Army and the martial Dagan people meant that chaos was imminent.
Now that we have a good opponent like Ross, the soldiers want military exploits, glory, and land. What a good target this new enemy is!
Preparing the army for battle is not something that can be done just by slapping the head. Now the prince's army is facing off against Ross Jiuhu at the Dongchuan River fifty miles north of Langyan Mountain.
The grain and grass baggage in Anbei is enough to be transported to the front line, but now that Su Ce wants to lead Anbei's elite in a battle of annihilation, the supplies are somewhat lacking.
The Anbei Protectorate now has one prefecture, eight cities, six guards, six guards, six guards, and three passes. The previous Beiyuan Protectorate was handed over to the Ministry of Revenue in exchange for its full support.
As for the specific supplies, Su Ce was still hesitant.
If you want war horses, forming a pure cavalry army, not to mention the waste of food and fodder for war horses, is not an easy task just to change the tactics of the Northern Army who are good at infantry and cavalry warfare. The Jiuhu people are good at cavalry warfare. This is
Su Ce didn't want to be accused of being untalented after doing a loss-making business.
