Anbeicheng mobilized troops for 150,000 days, and there was no idle time in the snow. Military formations were trained every day, just waiting to survive the winter.
The eight generals of the Tiance Army have already prepared a complete strategic concept. Different from the past, this time the Tiance Army is preparing to use the tactics used by Taizu a hundred years ago.
Winning through chaos, in short, only determines the direction of the battle.
After the food was out and the snow stopped, the first cavalry army set off, first to the south, and then made a semicircle of a thousand miles to hit the three passes of Langyan Mountain directly.
To press the enemy, the infantry of the First Army and the Fourth Army will engage the enemy ten days after the snow stops. It is not a decisive battle. Wait for the enemy to retreat to the north, then push to the north to force the enemy to flee north. The remaining cavalry of the two armies in Anbei City will march slowly along the enemy's flanks. If you don't want to kill the enemy, you must reach the Sanguan Mountain Road three days before the enemy.
To trap the enemy, the infantry of the fourth army arrived at the foot of Langyan Mountain. Cooperate with the cavalry on both wings to compress the enemy's space. The enemy must be trapped in the hills with a radius of hundreds of miles to the south of Sanguan Mountain Road. Then they will press forward step by step. The auxiliary troops of each army must dig deep trenches. , day and night, to prevent the enemy cavalry from retreating. Each army mainly used bows and crossbows, only for defense, and cooperated with the auxiliary troops to continuously reduce the scope.
For the decisive battle, wait for the enemy to run out of food and fodder and kill their horses, then wait three days for the decisive battle.
After this strategy was presented to Zhao Zaicheng, Zhao Zaicheng added a sentence to it.
"After the enemy has run out of food, do not rush into battle. Wait for Tiance's personal guards of 3,000 brigades to arrive with Gu to pick up the bones of the Dingbei army, and then spend another seven days slaughtering them! Anyone who fails to arrive in one day and declares a decisive battle will be killed!" This is what Zhao Zaicheng added.
At this time, there are basically no people in the Six Ministries in Chang'an City. The Six Ministries are in the imperial palace and are allocating all the ministers in the country. None of the Six Ministries are in Chang'an City, six are in Wuding, Hebei, and six are in Guannai Road to prepare for Tiance's army. Carriages and necessary soldiers.
All affairs in the court are controlled by the Five Supervisors of the Nine Temples.
Guannai Road mobilized Zhechongfu to take turns to rest soldiers, and prepared 30,000 soldiers.
The other three major military governors of Daqian will no longer attack and stabilize the current border.
The Twelve War Guards of the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya, who had always been only a semi-military garrison, replenished their numbers in winter, prepared for war, and invited envoys from various countries in Chang'an City to watch the military parade of the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya.
On the same day, Honglu Temple signed a letter to the Hundred Kingdoms: Any country that provokes provocations in the border areas will have its envoys beheaded. Waiting for Tiance's army to be victorious, Nanya banned the army and will arrive in the next day to slaughter their kings and enslave their people..."
The envoys from various countries in Honglu Temple read the credentials of the Minister of Honglu Temple and sent their deputy envoys back to their countries.
No one dares to regard the words of Daqian Honglu Temple Minister as nonsense, because at that time Emperor Wu of Qi issued a letter to the Hundred Kingdoms: "The day when Gu regains the Western Regions will be the day when he ascends the throne. All nations will come to court, and the world will rule together!"
As a result, the current Western Region is still firmly in the hands of the countries in the Central Region. There used to be hundreds of countries in the Western Region with a population of tens of millions, but now there are only a hundred small towns with a population of less than a thousand people. As a reward for cooperating with Daqi, as for others, It has long been buried in history.
Whether it was Dafeng, Daqi, or the current Daqian, the surrounding countries all call it the Zhongyu Empire. In their understanding, this is a country that changes its name every few hundred years. Officially, each country The documents all say "The Kingdom of the Middle Territory".
Looking at the country in the middle region, every battle is a counterattack after being attacked.
And for a big country in the Central Region that values etiquette to issue a "Certificate of Credence" with an obvious threat, it shows that Daqian has really reached a critical moment.
After the deputy envoys from various countries returned home, the area around Daqian actually became quiet. There was no war, and various countries no longer started provocations on the border.
Report to hundreds of people and fight to the death!
As time goes by, the north wind becomes weaker and weaker, and the snow that falls after New Year's Eve becomes smaller and smaller.
The Rus and Jiuhu people outside Dingbei City were sharpening knives and practicing bows in their tents. Duke Lvov sent someone to transport the beans harvested last year in winter to ensure that the horses of the Jiuhu people would not get fat.
The Jiuhu people, Rus people and Dagan people in the grassland all understand that when the weather is good, the winner will be the master of this grassland.
Chaotic warfare is Daqian's favorite way of fighting.
What the Daqian Mansion soldiers heard the most in Zhechong Mansion was military discipline. Therefore, no matter how capable they were, they would not dare to be disrespectful to their superiors.
Although Qin Xunxiang's three guards have a high starting point in official rank, they have to use their military exploits to "pay back" later. For example, Su Ce and Xiang Hao are both in the third rank of training, so Su Ce will be promoted, Xiang Hao will stay put, and wait until Xiang Hao Only after the meritorious deeds exceed six ranks can one be promoted to the current rank.
When the prince was assassinated, this was also the reason why those who followed Su Ce to kill the enemies were the sons of nobles and not the sons of high-ranking officials. They had to cherish every fighting opportunity.
Sooner or later, civil servants will become civil servants, because they know that in the military, those with the greatest military exploits are respected.
Let them waste more than ten years to earn these merits and then be promoted. They can't wait.
Everyone has their own path to walk in life. Some roads are easy to walk, but the roadside is full of grain, which is just enough to eat. Some roads are difficult to walk, but the roadside is full of sweet springs of sweet fruits and delicious food.
Different people have different paths, and some paths cannot be changed once they are chosen.
These days, the 3,000 brigades of Tiance's pro-army troops are no longer as immature as they were in Chang'an City.
The red and white face was chapped by the cold wind, and the same was true for Su Ce's face.
The contents of the letter of confession written by the Minister of Honglu Temple were intentionally leaked.
This passage undoubtedly boosts morale. When Tian Su Ce inspected the military camp this time, he could always hear the brigade soldiers discussing when the snow would stop and when the snow would stop, the war would start. They still knew this.
But how to deal with the Ruos and Jiuhu people in the north of the city, only ten people in Dingbei City know.
The prince Zhao Zaicheng, the second prince Zhao Zaixiao, and the eight generals of the Tiance Army.
As the guard commander of Tiance's personal army, and as the general leading the only army in Tiance's army, Su Ce was also qualified to participate in the formulation of military strategy, but the prince Zhao Zaicheng did not let him go.
Su Ce had no choice but to arrange the defense of the Lu Ben Army.
As for the Festival Hall, the Luben Army's defenses were all a hundred meters away. The only people in the Festival Hall each time were the crown prince, the second prince, and eight generals, a total of ten people.
This battle is related to the safety of northern Daqian, so we have to be cautious.
Su Ce can also understand, but he will find out later.
However, as a member of Tiance's own army, Su Ce also understood that he probably wouldn't be able to go into battle. After all, the Luben Army only existed to protect the prince, and anything other than that would be a breach of responsibility.
Su Ce also understood that he had been promoted too quickly before, so it was appropriate for him to settle down for a few years. Besides, Su Ce was not treated badly. This time, the prince personally went to conquer the East Palace. Among the ten guards in the East Palace, only Su Ce came. The first guard rate now not only has a name, but also a reality.
Even if Su Ce is not a camper, he still understands how prominent his current position is in the eyes of others.
The title of the first military attache of the East Palace, or the general of the East Palace, is not small, so Su Ce became more and more cautious in doing things. As for going into battle, Su Ce would rather not have this opportunity and let the enemy attack the prince. So Tiance There are so many people in the army who are born as generals, I'm afraid they are just people in name only.
The snow was about to stop, and the quarrels in the festival hall became louder and louder. Some brigades also heard a few words. Su Ce had no choice but to separate this group of brigades to guard the courtyard at all times. They were not allowed to leave the courtyard without the prince's order.
, he led eight hundred troops to guard the outside of the hospital.
The remaining two thousand brigade troops were led by Xiang Mao and Jiang Lan to practice military formations.
After Su Ce arranged the defenses every day these days, he would find a corner to sit in a corner and borrow military books from General Tiance to read. His life was quite relaxed.
Of course, it is not easy to borrow military books, but with Baiguo Niang opening the way and the reputation of the future general of the East Palace, borrowing a few military books is a trivial matter.
After Su Ce came into contact with these generals, he felt that these people were not bad, but because of their background, if they became big, they might disrupt the country, so they were not given honors.
Rewards for nobles like Su Ce generally did not give money, but only land and food. These generals and ministers did not give land, food and property, but the money and officials did not feel sorry for them.
Just like the eight generals in the festival hall, each one is a third-grade general.
Zuo Bao Tao Wei General Li Chengdao was from Qinzhou and was of the same clan as Su Ce's former garrison leader Li Ji.
General Taowei of Youbao was granted the title of Yu Chun from Liangzhou.
General Yuan Ling of Zuo Ying Yang Wei came from Qizhou.
Xue Qianren, the general of Youying Yangwei, came from Daizhou.
Xia Houwang, the general of Zuohu Benwei, came from Yanzhou.
General Zongcheng of Youhu Benwei came from Bingzhou.
Xu Bi, the general of Zuo Fei and Xiong Wei, came from Youzhou.
General Tong Xin of Youfei Xiongwei came from Yanzhou. He was the clan uncle of general Tong Xi of the third town under Su Ce's border garrison.
When the first month had just passed and the second dragon raised its head in February, the whole Anbei City was boiling. The snow had stopped a few days ago, and the snow outside had hindered the battle between the two armies for two months.
Just thinking of the tens of thousands of civilians lying in the fields north of the city and the corpses of 80,000 Dingbei troops still in the snow, the whole army's fighting spirit was at its peak.
They have long figured out the strength of the Nine Hus and the Rus, and even the thousands of cavalry that look like tin cans have already figured out a way.
Although some of their comrades were killed during the skirmish in the snow in winter, after finding out the true strength of the enemy, the Tiance Army would not be lenient. As long as General Tiance gave the order, the Tiance Army would leave the city to general Jiuhu.
The Russians and Russians were defeated.
But this time the prince doesn’t want to be defeated!
