Chapter 652 Rookie
Shen Hao was standing on the wall of Qiantan Army Village and saw Cheng Jinhou's army passing by. Different from the bleak life after the catastrophe more than half a month ago, now Cheng Jinhou's army is replenished again, and each of them is full of energy, with a sense of prestige overflowing from his body.
This is military morale. The main credit for the great victory in Jianchuan is that Cheng Jinhou, the upper army, made the first contribution, and it was they who fought most of the battles.
Winning battles and fighting hard will only reveal the prestige of the army after a lot of experience. Invisibly, it is a kind of suppression to the enemy, and it is a kind of spiritual blessing to oneself.
To put it plainly, the soldiers are more energetic.
Most of the time, fighting depends on the spirit. If you overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum, you will have at least 20% more chances of winning. If you survive, you may be yourself.
The so-called tigers are talking about this trend.
Wu Kai also followed Cheng Jinhou's army and left the Shimen Military Village. The half month of recuperation made Wu Kai's injuries mostly healed. As long as he is more careful in the future, there will be no serious problems. Before leaving, he specially came over to say goodbye to Shen Hao, saying that after the war, he would go to Fengri City to invite Shen Hao to drink.
As for the pills on credit, Wu Kaiti didn't mention anything.
However, Jin Hou didn't mention Shen Hao's departure except for calling away Wu Kai, who was originally affiliated to the upper Jianchuan military camp. Shimen.
Because of his relationship in the army, Shen Hao is also used to using all kinds of information gathered in his hands to deduce military strategies. Now he is no longer the pure layman like before, but knows a thing or two. From time to time, he would go to Qiantanjunzhai to ask Zhang Qian and Gan Lin for their opinions.
"Cheng Jinhou led his troops forward, and now they have built a stronghold eighty miles past our place. This shows that the Chinese army wants to retaliate against them in the same way! Don't the barbarians like to play the trick of the salient? We can do the same. It depends on how the barbarians react."
"How else to deal with it? They are probably already aware of it now. Once this protrusion is built by us, the rest of their land will become precarious and may be threatened at any time. In fact, the soldiers they are currently stationed in Jianchuan Is it already half-surrounded?"
The forward movement of Cheng Jinhou's troops is definitely the strongest counterattack from the old Shangjing side, and it also confirmed everyone's guess before. Start when stabbing to the side of the barbarians, the offensive and defensive ends are considered to be interchanged.
"But why is there a new military camp? If it's targeting the barbarians on the opposite side of Jianchuan, you can simply set up camp and use offense instead of defense?" Shen Hao pointed to the map of Jianchuan area on the table and asked what troubled him. question. In his opinion, there is absolutely no need for Cheng Jinhou's troops to build a new military camp. They simply set up camp, and what is there to be afraid of because they are relying on Shimen, a large military camp? Moreover, it would be more flexible if there was no military stronghold, which would facilitate outflanking and encircling the barbarians on the opposite side of Jianchuan.
But at the same time, Shen Hao also knew that although he was no longer a layman in military affairs, he was completely incomparable with Zuo Yuliang and others. Even Zhang Qian and Gan Lin were much better than him in military affairs, so he wanted to know more about himself if he asked more questions. What was missing so that the purpose and benefits of Cheng Jinhou's establishment of the army camp could not be discovered.
"Easy camping? Hehe, brother, your idea is typical. Well, it's the kind of "rookie" you mentioned who thinks this way. It's very simple. Cheng Jinhou's purpose of building a new military camp for eighty miles is to oppress! Oppress the barbarians I have to face an iron thorn pierced into the flesh, and I need to withdraw the people on the front line of Baitouxia and Huzhuyuan to deal with the protrusion of Jianchuan." Gan Lin explained with a laugh.
Zhang Qian went on to say: "Not only is it oppressive, but it will also completely break the relatively balanced military deployment of the barbarians in Jianchuan, Baitouxia, and Huzhuyuan.
And have you ever thought about how much mental pressure the sudden appearance of the enemy's military stronghold on your own territory will bring to the people behind the barbarians? They are not as easy to talk to as our Jingjiu high-level officials. "
Are the high-level officials of the Jingjiu dynasty easy to talk to? Shen Hao didn't think so. He believes that a large part of the reason why Jing Jiu Dynasty showed high fighting spirit is because of the emperor's attitude and skills. The ministers were only one mind when they were suppressed. Of course, these are not easy to discuss with Zhang and Gan.
But after the other party's explanation, Shen Hao also understood a lot. After thinking for a while, he said again: "So Jianchuan will soon be the place where the fight is the most intense on the entire front?"
"This possibility is very high. But it depends on how Zuo Shuai deploys. You see, the terrain on the Jianchuan side is actually not suitable for large-scale decisive battles. Only tens of thousands of people can fight against each other. It is a war of attrition and a bloodbath." Grinding meat, just one word "consumption"! Unless Jianchuan can be completely opened up, the strategic value of Jianchuan is actually not as good as that of Baitou Gorge in the middle."
"Why?"
"Because there is a flat river behind Baitou Gorge, according to the topographic maps preserved before, it is one of the few places left by the barbarians that is suitable for large-scale cultivation. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "granary". Moreover, after Baitou Gorge, there is Sangbiqiu. Now, it is said that the red-eyed wolves hold the Frost Moon Banner there, and the symbolic meaning is extraordinary. Think about it if Baitou Gorge is broken by us."
Shen Hao understood. The protruding part of Jianchuan is equivalent to a stone that still enters the pond, and the rising water splash will cause a series of reactions. What Zuo Yuliang will do afterwards will depend on the reaction of the barbarians. Maybe that's the case with the so-called tricks?
"But you probably won't be on the front line for long." Zhang Qian took a sip from his teacup and changed the subject. The main reason is that talking about military affairs with a rookie like Shen Hao makes him a little uninterested.
As a rookie, Shen Hao must be unaware of his skills. He even felt that he was making rapid progress in military affairs and was in a good mood. Now he was a little surprised by Zhang Qian's sudden remark. Question: "Why did Brother Zhang make such a statement?"
"Because you don't belong to the combat establishment of the frontier army. According to what you said before, you should have been temporarily sent to make up the number, mainly because of your cultivation base and your three master guards. Now Cheng Jinhou's army is gone. Now, the middle and lower military strongholds of Jianchuan will definitely have actions one after another. The safety of Shimen has basically been eliminated, and it is time for you to withdraw.
In addition, the "emergency team" you created at General Pan's place is very effective, and it is definitely a great innovation. General Pan will definitely report to Zuo Shuai, and you should officially receive relevant orders from Zuo Shuai when you go back this time. Therefore, you'd better get it done in two days about the emergency team's strategy. "
