I became the son of Renzong

"As for the final battle between Guochao and Beiliao... At that time, Beiliao had no intention of avoiding my Great Song Bingfeng."

"On the other hand, the country needs to invest at least [-] cavalry, small chariots that can carry troops faster than cavalry, and smooth and strong transportation lines."

"And the tacit cooperative combat capability of Guocha infantry, chariots, and cavalry is the most critical element."

The timing of war does not only refer to the enemy, but also considers the preparations of one's own side.

It's still a bit late to plan.The problem is, some things are too late.

The destruction of Xixia, the recruiting of Fanqi, training, instilling the idea of ​​loyalty, the use of firearms of Fanqi, etc., cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Chapter 891 Another Deduction

The frontline team is not in danger, which is the basis for Zhao Xi to delegate power to let the frontline do things cheaply.

The morale of the army should be encouraged rather than vented.This trip, for the army on Hebei Road, is equivalent to a walk around.

Although the suggestion of retreat was put forward by the generals in front, Zhao Xi can be sure that the soldiers in front must be holding their breath.

Even if it's a retreat, you still need to grab the grass and beat the rabbit... Randomly draw some results, otherwise it will hurt the morale of the army.

As for the Northern Liao Dynasty, until the civil strife subsides, it will not fight the country directly.People can fully realize where the advantages are.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Beiliao will wait for the army to go deep, and then attack the team that has entered the Beiliao too deep.

After all, there are less than 20. For the Beiliao, which has 30 elites, nearly a million of various Oruduo, Linya, etc., and can summon 200 million combatants in the war, it is still possible to go deep into the territory of the Beiliao. dangerous.

Beiliao seemed to be coordinating with the Great Song Dynasty in acting. When the Song army retreated, the Beiliao cavalry also avoided encounters.

The real battles are only some wars between the scouts.The scouts are originally the elite of the two sides. In contrast, the battles between the scouts are mutually beneficial.

Fortunately, Zhe Kexing caught a scout...

"Didn't the Pishi Army be dispatched by Beiliao this time?"

When the imperial court received the report of Zhe Kexing's interrogation of the scouts, he was really depressed.The whole cabinet was frustrated.

Guochao went northward with such great fanfare and advanced nearly a hundred miles. He always thought that Beiliao's avoidance was because Guochao's combat power made Beiliao fearful.However, it turned out to be the case.

"It seems to be the case. It may also be the same as the road opposite Zhe Kexing, but it may not be the case in others."

This is a bit self-deceiving.

"According to the reports, there are still some Urudos. The nobles of the Northern Liao Dynasty, who did not participate in the civil war, have more or less sent Urudos to the south... that is what was mentioned in the front report The cavalry supported by the rear."

In fact, there was no real battle this time, except for some battles at the beginning, which were defeated by the Guochao army like a gust of wind sweeping fallen leaves.

It was defeated with one blow, and the results of the battle were too late to expand. The cavalry of Beiliao had already fled... At least it was reported.

It was also because of such a report that the court thought that it could achieve amazing results in this expedition.

result······

"Beiliao's established strategy is probably to avoid the edge for the time being?"

"The internal turmoil is turbulent, and Beiliao has no intention of fighting the country."

"It seems that Guochao can only be a bystander in the face of the great opportunity of civil strife in Northern Liao."

It's good to be a bystander... Zhao Xi thinks so.If Zhao Xi were in the situation of the emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty, he would also make such a choice.

In Shangjing Road, Northwest Recruitment Division, and Zhongjing Road, Qin Wang's teams from all over the country have assembled in Nanjing Road, and the day of calming the chaos is waiting.At this time, there is really no need to allocate troops to fight against Song Dynasty.

The point is that the nobles of the Northern Liao Dynasty are all waiting for the result of the civil strife, and it is difficult for them to send troops to stop the Song Dynasty team.

If he divides his forces to resist the Song army, it is better to let the Song army enter the Liao territory, or even let the Song army do harm in the territory of Daliao... When the war disaster hurts the interests of the nobles, it also arouses the anger of the noble tribes anger.

At that time, the rebellion of the rebellious ministers may have a result, and it is possible to encircle and wipe out the Song army that invaded the territory of Daliao from the north.

I hope it's good, but unfortunately the results are quite boring.This time, no matter whether it is the Northern Liao Dynasty or the Great Song Dynasty, there is still a feeling of unfinished business.

One side sent troops with great fanfare, and when they felt bad, they withdrew directly and cleanly.

On the other hand, one side is showing weakness to the enemy and preparing to play a big game.Using his own civil strife as a bait to hide his real strength, he hopes to make the other party design a big encirclement.

"It's a waste of money and food, and it's useless!"

Zhang Dun was not ridiculing anyone, this was originally decided by the cabinet collectively, and he was even the most active member.He just sighed, this situation made him a little confused, and he couldn't figure out how the war ended like this.

"Perhaps this is not a waste of money and food."

Su Zhe answered, no one could answer Zhang Dun's words, and everyone felt a little hot.Su Zhe didn't care, he was familiar with Zhang Dun's temperament these years.

"George elders, this time the troops have been dispatched for so long, have you ever seen any envoys from the Northern Liao Dynasty?"

When Su Zhe said this, everyone guessed what happened.Indeed, the last time the army was mobilized to go north, it only advanced a few dozen miles. Once there was a contact, Beiliao sent envoys to go south.

But this time, Beiliao remained indifferent until the war was over.

"Perhaps the Northern Liao court has no time to take care of it?"

Although he generally agreed with Su Zhe's words, Han Zhen still raised doubts.

"No. Everyone, please see... Zhong Jianzhong went north from Baozhou to Yizhou; Wang Shunchen came to Xincheng; Zhou Tong arrived in Yongqing; and Zhekexing has already approached Wuqing."

"The civil war in the Northern Liao Dynasty is basically in Jizhou, Jingzhou, and Tanzhou. If our army continues to go north, the army of Xijin Prefecture has not moved, and the army of Zhuozhou Prefecture has not moved. Once the Zhekexing Department crosses Wuqing. The army of the Northern Liao Dynasty in Zhuozhou and other places entered the southeast, blocking the connection of the four armies..."

"Guochao's several victories against the Liao Dynasty, and even the destruction of Xixia, all formed a situation in the region where the more fought the less, and the advantage of the chariot was the result of a big victory."

"If it's true that Zheke Xingbu is in a tight siege..."

In the Battle of Hedong that year, the Guochao did not take down Weizhou. That is to say, although most of the Xijing Road in the Beiliao had been recovered by the Guochao, such as the Feihuling and Zijingling areas, the Beiliao deployed a considerable number of elite soldiers. .

Zhong Jianzhong can win Yizhou, but he must guard against Weizhou's Beiliao team.Even if Yunzhou's army goes eastward, with the steepness of Feihu Ridge and Zijing Ridge, it will be difficult to join forces with Zhongjian Central in a short time.

However, Gu'an, Yongqing, Zhuozhou and other places are large-scale plains and open land, which is the terrain where cavalry can exert their advantages.When Zhekexing fell into a tight siege, Wang Shunchen and Zhou Tong's department would be restrained, and it was even said that there was a problem of getting out of trouble in all walks of life...

Chariots have a restraint effect against cavalry, but it does not mean that chariots are invincible against cavalry.

After the chariots are arrayed and formed into the shape of the city, it is only to make the cavalry's attack ineffective.The use of chariots to pursue can also avoid the disadvantages of the exhaustion of infantry pursuit in the early dynasty.

The biggest disadvantage of the chariot is that it takes too long to connect and assemble, even for the most familiar soldiers, it takes nearly half an hour to complete.

For the cavalry, this half an hour may be a rush of thirty or fifty miles.

This is also the reason why the scouts released fifty miles... Once the cavalry approached, the chariot was too late to assemble and connect, and it was easy to be rushed in by the cavalry...

If it really happens that Beiliao divides the army of thinking ahead and uses superior forces to attack all the way... the result is really difficult to judge.
