Chapter seven hundred and ninety-ninth is not a strong alliance
Chapter 799: The Unstable Alliance
The war machine of the Ming Dynasty started to work again, and this time, the retired soldiers were summoned to join the army again, but there are conditions for enlistment to be restricted. First, the only son in the family, those who are not married yet will not be admitted. Second, those who are married without children will not be admitted. Third, those who have brothers in the family are still serving in the army will not be admitted.
Although this aspect made it more difficult to conscription in a certain way, this was the military rule of the Ming Dynasty and must be followed at any time. Although they needed troops very much at this time, this was the continuation of the Ming Dynasty's bloodline and the continuation of the military spirit in a certain way.
This was an order issued by Emperor Jingtai himself, so all parts of the country were immediately mobilized. Soon, after retirement, the soldiers who met the conditions were gathered, with a total of 300,000 people, each of which was 100,000 cavalry, 150,000 infantry, and 50,000 others, including artillery.
Time is a bit hasty, but this is not a problem, because they have only retired for a few years, and as long as they pick up their weapons and practice, there should be no problem. Of course, this is not without any problem. The biggest problem that troubles the Ming Dynasty now is of course the cooperation of these soldiers. You must know that the Ming Dynasty, who fought in the past, trained these soldiers in large part in a group situation, with three people in a group, and fighting means handing over their backs to their companions, and then they can face the enemy in front of them very seriously. This tacit understanding is largely due to long-term training. Now, the hasty gathering of these soldiers seems very inexperienced in one aspect, and the cooperation is also reduced.
Jiang Lang naturally knew this, so he proposed a method, which was to marching and practice while gathering, and cooperate with the personnel in place, and then start training during the march. You must know that these soldiers have used this kind of tactic before. Although they have retired and their original partners have gone their separate ways, they still know this tactic. Training them during the march can also cultivate their mutual trust relationship. After all, all this is based on their mutual trust.
At this time, no one in the court had any objections. They originally planned to write Jianglang's book, but now they found that this was a very stupid idea. Now Emperor Jingtai was completely following Jianglang's layout, and it was obvious that these combat plans had been prepared long ago, but few adults in the court knew about it. Even the Ministry of War, which was closely related to this matter, knew very few people. From a certain aspect, they also saw that Emperor Jingtai trusted Jianglang, and the current defeat was just a plan. If he still made a fuss about this matter, wouldn't he be humiliated?
Moreover, Jingtai Emperor is ambitious now. He originally just wanted a strong man so that he could open up the road overseas and control overseas very well. But now the thorns have been brought in. Since this is the case, it is of course best to be able to put the thorns in your pocket together, so the preparation for this war is naturally very strict.
This is true for Emperor Jingtai. What else can the adults below dare to hesitate? Now the focus of the court is on attacking Gao Qiang and the thorns. If they don’t cooperate, if Emperor Jingtai starts anger, what good fruits will there be?
It was also because of how the Ming Dynasty's court was unprecedentedly united at this time. Everyone had only one goal, that was to send troops to Washu. Of course, on the other hand, it was also somewhat challenged because of its own dignity. As a great country, when the Ming Dynasty attacked the powerful, those Washu people were ungrateful and sent troops. This was simply a challenge to the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. The so-called those who violated our heavenly power would be punished even if they were far away! Therefore, no one was negligent from top to bottom to send troops to Washu.
Of course, it is not so easy to send troops to the Washu. To a large extent, we have to consider the mood of the people of the Washu, especially the mood of the people who are dependent on the Ming Dynasty. Although they have already belonged to the Ming Dynasty, they also come from the grassland and from the Washu. The Ming Dynasty attacked the Washu, just like attacking their hometown. If one is not handled well, it will greatly arouse the dissatisfaction of these people. Therefore, to appease the people is also a key point of this battle. Jiang Lang also has plans for this point, of course, it is largely propaganda, and propaganda includes two aspects. The first aspect is
However, it is just ugly sayings. These people also have some feelings about Tutubu Buhua. If it weren't for him, how could these people be displaced? There was no way to live by relying on the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, this civil war was caused by Tutubu Buhua. Therefore, Jianglang's ugliness of Tutubu Buhua actually did not have much spirit. On the other hand, of course, it is to beautify the military actions taken against Wats, with the purpose of rescuing the people under the evil politics of Tutubu Buhua and let them live the same good life as they are now. In this way, what should have been considered an aggressive war suddenly became a righteous action, so that those people could easily accept it.
On the other hand, Jiang Lang and others have begun to concentrate their superior forces on the front. The direction of the coalition forces' action is not something that cannot be predicted. Now the bad words of the coalition forces are largely the issue of supply. If this problem is not solved for a day, the more anxious they will be. The more anxious they will naturally have more problems. The enemy's civil strife, what Jiang Lang hopes most is to see this.
On the other hand, for the two armies, a consensus was finally reached, that is, to take the initiative to attack and concentrate superior forces to attack those cities. In this way, it would be impossible to rely on tens of thousands of people to defend the attack of hundreds of thousands of people. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty had to fight them head-on, so they might be able to stop the army from advancing.
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty surrounded the coalition forces in four aspects. Now they are like rubber. The coalition forces of the two countries have arrived and have contracted defensively, but the other three directions immediately organized an attack.
Although the forces of both sides were similar, the Ming Dynasty largely occupied an advantage of advanced weapons, because the gap in weapons naturally led to a gap in combat effectiveness. In this way, the number of soldiers equivalent to the number of Ming Dynasty soldiers was more than that of the coalition forces of the two countries. Jinazawa Jun's purpose was to showdown the main force, but Jiang Lang did not intend to have any showdown with the main force, but one word: Mo!
The enemy concentrated its superior forces to attack a place. The Ming Dynasty did not directly confront them, but only defended them. Then the other three aspects strengthened their attacks. In this way, the two armies captured a city, but the Ming Dynasty could capture three of them. The purpose in front of them was actually very simple, which was to separate the hundreds of thousands of troops and force them to transform from the original active attack into a passive defense.
Regarding this, Totuo Buhua didn't feel anything wrong. At that time, Jinazawa Jun felt a little worried at this time. Looking at the huge sand table in front of him, his brows were furrowed.
This sand table was also learned by him from the Ming Dynasty, which showed the current situation of the three armies. Three-fifths of the land have been occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and only the middle positions remained under the control of the two armies. The cities that were originally occupied by Washu are basically under the control of the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers of Washu fled and surrendered.
This was very irritable. In fact, the plan for the thorn man Kanazawa Jun was also very clear. What they wanted most now was to open the road to thorn man and let them go back, but now they couldn't let them go back. They had the strength of the troops, and they had to rely on them to drag the Ming Dynasty people.
"Crown Prince, I said how should I fight this battle?"
Tutuobuhua's voice came in, and he could hear that he was a little anxious now. After all, it was a problem of not supplying to a large extent. If the supply is controlled by others, it would be like someone pinching his pulse.
Jinazawa Shin looked up and turned around to look. He saw that Tuotuo Buhua had already walked in, and then said, "Shan, why are you here?"
Tuotuobuhua is a very heroic person. After coming in, he immediately said::: "Why can't I come? What I want to know most now is what you plan to fight? The Ming Dynasty people are pressing step by step."
Shan Kanazawa now also wanted to know how to fight this battle. After slightly knocking on his head, Shan Kanazawa said: "Now the intentions of the people of the Ming Dynasty have basically been clear, and they want to disperse our troops."
"Distribute our forces?"
Tuotuobuhua seemed a little surprised.
"That's right!"|
Shan Kanazawa nodded, then pointed to the sand table in front of him, and said, "According to our original plan, we attacked the higher ground, but now you have also seen that we encountered very tenacious resistance on the top. These Ming people had no intention of pushing a step back. Moreover, the most important point is that when we attacked them, they were attacking us in three directions, and the strength was greater than ours. If we did not support it, it would not take long before the Ming people behind this. If we advance ten miles a day, they could advance ten miles from three directions at the same time!"
When Jinazawa said this, he did not forget to point fingers to the next to him.
