From Soldier To Emperor
Chapter 175: Western Region Powerhouse
After each large-scale battle, there will be a period of silence for both the winner and the loser. The problem of post-war prisoners, the seized spoils, the screening and repair of damaged weapons and equipment, the treatment of the wounded in the war and the comfort of the dead, etc. all require a lot of time.
Not to mention the replenishment of personnel and materials after the war. The main force of the defeated Fang Songtsen Gampo was almost wiped out. Naturally, he had to reorganize his team and shrink his forces. Even though Richard had an efficient system of troops and horses, he also needed an indigenous human army. Come to help.
President Richard can't take a small number of system troops to siege the city, so if he does that, Richard will not be able to fill in as many luck coins as possible!
Thousands of elite soldiers are the key to victory or defeat in field battles, but in a siege battle, it is very likely that a tragic offensive and defensive battle will lose more than half!
Therefore, Richard did not bring the troops and horses of his system to forcefully attack the city defense line under the control of Songtsen Gambo.
The cold weapon era siege is very unfair to the offensive side. Even in order to reduce casualties, the offensive side will resort to siege rather than fierce attack in most periods.
Because of the large number of attritions in combat, the morale of the attacking army will be greatly reduced. In the end, it is very likely that the head will be smashed on the solid wall, and it will even be harvested by the defender's counterattack!
This is nothing new in historical battles!
This is also the reason why the ancients came up with the famous saying that "attack the heart is the top, and the city is the bottom".
In fact, in the history of Cold Weapon, the real siege warfare is to use gaps and other methods to deceive the city gate, or simply cooperate with the insurgents inside and outside the city to win the city. After all, the most indispensable people in this world are those who are afraid of death. Traitor and traitor...
If the control in the city is too strict, the offensive side will generally choose to besiege, until the food and grass in the city are not available, the soldiers will reduce their morale and physical strength to a certain level and then take the city with one effort.
This is the safest way, but it is also the most resource-intensive way!
Siege of a city not only requires a lot of troops, but also consumes a lot of food and money out of thin air. Without enough national power, it is impossible to play the siege tactics...
Therefore, in many cases, the siege party will have to take lives to fill it.
This leads to siege battles that are often fought extremely tragically!
Of course, when attacking the city, the offensive team will not directly send the core elites, but will use cannon fodder and vassal troops to consume them. At this point, the historical Meng Yuan and Man Qing played quite proficiently. ...
Meng Yuan can sweep the Eurasian continent, and the large number of servants under their command are indispensable. Most of the Qing Dynasty was defeated by the Han Eight Banners and the Green Camp!
These two ethnic groups are typical of small populations and large populations. They can only use the cruel foreigners as cannon fodder if they want to unify the world. Basically dead!
Because of this, in real history, after the Manchu Qing entered the Pass, including the field battles, the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers, as the core, basically always acted as the supervising team, and seldom went to the front line to fight.
Now Richard’s situation is very similar to the situation in which a few rule the majority. Whether it is the minority population of Han people in the Western Regions, or the small but very elite system headquarters under Richard’s command, they are typical of the minority controlling the majority. .
In this situation, if Richard uses the elite of the system or even the indigenous Han army to attack the heavily-soldered city without considering the casualties, then it will be a funny brain...
While Songtsen Gampo was busy shrinking his strength and arbitrarily offering generous terms to buy the defeated general, Yuchi Yingzhe, and the still ambitious Long Letian, Richard was also busy screening out the captives and gathering a large number of color-eyed people cannon fodder. !
Whether it is the strategic situation of the Western Regions or the intelligence brought back by the frontline scouts, it shows that Richard's enemies are afraid of the Ming army's field capabilities!
If it is said that Richard's defeat of Yuchi Yingzhe can be avoided as a light soldier, who is not strong enough to swallow the elephant, kicking the iron plate and leading to a big defeat.
The failure of Songtsen Gamboo really made Richard and his Ming army name spread throughout the Western Regions!
You must know that before the battle between Songtsen Gambo and Richard, the Tufan Expeditionary Force was recognized as the strongest army in the Western Regions!
Don't look at the original Yuchi Yingzhe and Long Letian's disregard for Songtsen Gambo's control, and they have a vaguely independent tendency.
The two great warlords who benefited the most after the fall of the Anxi Duhufu only secretly broke their wrists with Songtsen Gampo, and they are still the ‘allies’ of the Tufan Kingdom!
Even after the expansion of the strength of Yuchi Yingzhe and Long Letian, the biggest ambition was to put a knighthood under the name of the Turpan Kingdom and realize the ambition of the Autonomous Kingdom of Splitting the Earth. He never thought of completely reversing the Tufan Kingdom!
Obviously, Yuchi Yingzhe and Long Letian are not born like dogs for the Tubo people, but because they are afraid of the strength of the Tubo people, they dare not really push the Tufan kingdom to their opposites.
However, it was such a Big Mac in the Western Regions in the eyes of everyone, but it fell under Richard's army. Richard still wiped out the main force in the Tufan Expeditionary Army with an absolutely weak army!
Songtsen Gambo is proud to deter the more than 30,000 iron-clad soldiers in the entire Western Regions, and even less than one escaped...
Under such a big environment~www.wuxiaspot.com~ no matter how arrogant people do not dare to fight with Richard, even if they have twice or three times the strength...
If you count the Tufan tribe fighters, a semi-civilian and semi-soldier army, at least ten times the number of Songtsen Gambo would dare to formulate a battle plan against Richard in the field...
The aura is played out, not compared. Why did the 21st century hegemon of the new world in Richard's previous life clamor to be a world policeman?
Because people start wars all over the world, they fight local wars in foreign countries every year!
Over more than ten years, one after another dictatorships that seem not to be weak from the outside world have been overthrown. The hard facts are in front of them. Other countries naturally have to think about it. If you irritate that one, you can still sit in your position. stable……
Once the prestige is played out, those small and medium-sized countries will naturally take the initiative to move closer to the strong, even if the strong is insatiable, and often treats the younger brother as a monkey, and even embezzles the younger brother’s due benefits. Many younger brothers can only protest and condemn them. Then continue to endure...
This is the prestige created by the war. It seems cruel, but it is the most real reality.
This world never believes in kindness and tears, people will only fear the strong and the iron fist!
And now Richard is the iron fist of the Western Regions, forcing the remaining three companies in the Western Regions to abandon their previous suspicions, unite again against Richard, and spend huge sums of money to consolidate the city's defense line.
