On the battlefield of cold weapons, tactical strategy surprise attacks do not occupy the mainstream. The success of surprise attack strategies is often based on the mistakes made by the enemy coach.

Because ancient army was often commanded by a general or commander, no matter how strong a single person is, some mistakes will inevitably occur. Those historical generals only suppress the probability of making mistakes infinitely.

This gives the opportunity to implement the surprise attack strategy.

However, when war enters modernization and the emergence of a complete staff system, the phenomenon that one person's will on the battlefield will dominate the entire army no longer exists. A large number of staff can simulate various war results, check for shortcomings and avoid making mistakes.

The senior rulers only need to determine the general strategic direction, and the tactical plan can be completely handed over to the staff of the think tank to formulate. In this way, the probability of making mistakes at the tactical level is infinitely reduced.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Even if a group of ordinary staff members formulated a combat plan, they can match a top tactical master and other famous generals. After all, the wisdom of everyone is higher than that of a single person.

Unless there is such a talented person, how many people are there in the entire history of that person?

Because of this, even the arrogant ruler had to recognize the superiority of the staff system, so that the staff system completely replaced the former command system in the military field, and at the same time, it also turned the war from a surprise attack strategy to a competition of comprehensive national strength between the two sides in a small way.

Under the staff system, the influence of a famous general has become smaller and smaller on the entire battle situation. On the battlefield of World War II on Earth, the number of famous German generals is almost the sum of the Allied forces, and the professional quality of German generals is obviously higher in one fight.

However, under the perfect staff system, no matter how great a famous general is, he cannot change his national destiny, which eventually led to the collapse of Germany, which had a weaker comprehensive national strength in World War II.

Although the generals with cold weapons did not understand what the staff system was, they would have some auxiliary staff under them, and they would not make too stupid mistakes except for a few stubborn commanders.

In fact, generals who tend to use tactical strategies are often the weak side. Because of their weak overall strength and they are not sure of winning on the front battlefield, they have to take risks and find other ways!

For a qualified general, adventure and strategy are often undesirable, so there are very few surprise attacks on the cold weapon battlefield, and more are duels on the front battlefield.

There is the most important point among them. No matter how good the tactical strategy is, if you do not have enough military strength to support it, you may mess up everything!

Because of this, generally speaking, as long as the strength gap is not too large, generals often like to choose open and positive advancement, which is commonly known as "fighting a fool", step by step, firmly protect the logistics route and steadily compress the enemy's living space.

If the enemy avoids war and advances one side, it can gradually form a general trend and eventually achieve the possibility of qualitative change through quantitative change!

Just like the two major warlords, Wei Chi Yingzhe and Long Letian, after the general situation was formed, the place where the army passed was decided by a letter!

Richard naturally understood this, so even if he had the troops in the system headquarters, he was more inclined to win in the field.

In this way, the people and gentry class in the ruling area could be given an impression that the power of the Ming King was not weaker than that of Yuchi Yingzhe!

The direct benefit of this general trend to Richard was that his field team officers and soldiers who were not system soldiers under his command were as high as those of Yuchi Yingzhe who had captured the cities and land!

After all, Yuchi Yingzhe is an old overlord, one of the four towns, and his prestige is deeply rooted in the Western Regions. Nowadays, the small warlords of the Western Regions are either defeated and killed or forcibly annexed. Large warlords such as Yuchi Yingzhe and Long Letian, whose strength has not declined but increased, naturally have formed a general trend that everyone hopes for in the Western Regions.

As for the Tufan Kingdom, although it is stronger, the foreign identity of the Tufan Kingdom was rejected and vigilant by the Han gentry class in the Western Regions, and the support from the people was very low.

The Han gentry class in the Western Regions was worried that the tribal leaders of the Tufan Kingdom would pose a fundamental threat to their interests, and the Han civilians at the bottom were even imprisoned by the long-growing Han people's high-level thinking, and they were unwilling to work hard for a Tufan master from the bottom of their hearts.

The Han people in the Tang Dynasty in another world did not refer to the bloodline of the Han people, but a inheritance of Han culture. Even the Tang royal family had a few Hu bloodlines, but weren’t they respected as the common ruler by most Han people?

However, the Tufan Kingdom is different. Because they were not completely annexed by the Tang Dynasty, their national culture still retained their autonomy and had an essential barrier to the national culture of the Han people. It is this barrier that led to the low acceptance of the Han people's civilian class.

Of course, this is nothing to the conquerors. If the Tufan Kingdom is really strong enough, it will purge a group of stubborn elements after entering the Western Regions, and then promote the Tufan culture through education and other means, it will only take two or three generations, and the entire Western Region will be separated from the influence of Han culture.

This is how the Tang Dynasty did it in the Western Regions back then...

As for the indigenous Seme people at the bottom of the Western Regions, they responded the most dull to the invasion of the Tufan Kingdom. They were already accustomed to oppression and exploitation. Whether it was the exploitation of the Han or the Tubo people, there was not much difference between the Seme people...

However, the combat power of Semuren is too bad, and supporting Semuren can easily cause the backlash of the Han gentry and powerful class in the entire Western Regions, so Songtsen Gampo of the Tufan Kingdom has never changed the living environment of Semuren.

Of course, if the Tufan Kingdom truly ruled the Western Regions, in order to suppress the Han gentry class who had a large amount of resources, the Tufan Kingdom might be another policy.

However, the current political environment of the Tufan Kingdom in the Western Regions was not good. The two major warlords openly sought independence and even wanted to become the king of the vassal state. Everyone knows that the orthodox Tang forces in Shule's army town were allowed to exist in the way of supporting the enemy. Therefore, the Tufan Kingdom, let alone supporting the Semu people, quickly digesting the annexed Western Regions and quelling the hostility of the Han gentry class in the conquering places was the top priority!

Songtsen Gampo could not even block the expansion of the two warlords, because he could not stab the "allies" in the back when Shule Army Town held high the orthodox banner of the Tang Dynasty. The consequences of doing so would not only cause strong resistance from the Yuchi family and the Long family, but also allow the local Han gentry class to see clearly the true face of the Tufan Kingdom and everyone would be in danger!

Once that happens, the Tufan Kingdom will be a rat crossing the street in the Western Regions!
