Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 201 Chapter [-]
"Tang Qing, did you understand what Liu Wei said?"

Liu Wei chatted with Wu Jie brothers in the commander's tent for a while, and after Liu Wei basically described the battle in detail, Wu Jie fell into deep thought for a long time, and finally spoke.

"Brother, I understand, but I still feel that Liu Wei's battle is a combination of the right time, place, and people. It is difficult to replicate, and it is even more impossible to use it in our battle to defend the city. Monk Yuan."

"Elm head!"

Before Wu Lin finished speaking, Wu Jie interrupted, glared at his brother with dissatisfaction, and said, "You really don't know how to draw inferences from one example? How can there be any victory that can be completely replicated throughout the ages? I want you to see it." , is the reason why Liu Wei was able to defeat the enemy!"

"this."

In Liu Wei's opinion, the elder brother taught the younger brother a lesson, and it really shouldn't be done in front of him, an "outsider", but this also shows that Wu Jie didn't regard Liu Wei as an outsider at all, and it was really a trick of a general. It can be displayed all the time.

"Liu Wei, Tang Qing is dull, explain to him, what are the factors of victory?"

"This." Just as Liu Wei was feeling emotional, Wu Jie's words made him really not know how to speak.Although the whole battle was planned by Liu Wei, he couldn't guarantee that every link would be successful. To be honest, as long as a person is on the battlefield, it is seven points of hard work and three points of luck.

"Don't be polite, Master said, three people must have my teacher, besides, Tang Qing has fought with me in the battlefield since he was a child. He has read less and his mind is not easy to turn."

In Wu Jie's mouth, Wu Lin has become a useless, brave and foolish person. He said that Wu Lin can't hold his head up, and even Liu Wei dare not go to see Wu Lin, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.Since Wu Jie forced it, Liu Wei had no choice but to give in and explain the core of the whole battle.

In fact, Liu Wei's explanation boils down to the four words "use the long to attack the short".

Jin people are good at riding and fighting, while Song people are good at foot fighting.There is no absolute relationship between strength and weakness between the two. In fact, thousands of years of wars have already proved that in the era of cold weapons, there is no absolutely powerful arms, only arms that play a major role in a suitable environment.

In the final analysis, the strength switch between infantry and cavalry is seriously affected by the combat environment.

When Liu Wei formulated the combat plan against the Ulu Division, he emphasized that the combat environment that was not very favorable to the infantry was transformed into an environment that was very unfavorable to the cavalry.Of course, this kind of change must take into account the enemy's cognition. If it is an extremely obvious change in the environment, I am afraid that no commander will foolishly set foot on the whole set.

Collecting sledges and hoes, and using animal power to turn nearly a foot of hard soil on the surface of the entire slope into loose dust is the main reason for the victory in this battle.And Wulu's carelessness was the main reason for his failure. If Wulu could carefully observe and make inferences before entering the ramp, it might be Liu Wei's turn to flee.

The purpose of the large number of mountain springs washed down by the cofferdam was not to wash away the golden soldiers and horses. The silt formed by it and the floating soil greatly restricted the mobility of the horses and people. They were all led by long-range crossbowmen, and if those crossbowmen could not kill the enemy quickly and effectively when the golden men could hardly move, then Liu Wei could only feel unlucky.

After Liu Yi finished explaining, Wu Jie admonished Wu Lin again, and then said: "The impact of this victory on us is by no means as simple as annihilating 2000 Jin soldiers. Liu Wei, are you In this way, it pointed us in the right direction!"

Never expected that Wu Jie would take the significance of this victory so seriously, and Liu Wei said politely with some embarrassment: "My lord is serious."

"It's not serious! Liu Wei, I will naturally explain your contribution to the table, but even if the entire Ulu army is destroyed, the Jinren will never let it go, and the crisis of the monk Yuan has not been resolved. The next step Fight hard, Liu Wei, you need to worry more!"

Liu Wei was taken aback by Wu Jie's words, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I'm just a small guerrilla general, how can I take on such a big responsibility, I hope."

Before Liu Wei could finish his sentence, Wu Jie interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Who said you are a guerrilla general? From now on, you will be the general under my command!"

Zheng Jiang, such a title did not exist in the past.

When the court of the Northern Song Dynasty was forced to go into exile in Lin'an, in order to inspire the fighting spirit of the local armed forces, the court reorganized the supervision of the army. Although Wu rank was still not high in rank, he already possessed the skills of the entire southwest. The military management power of the area, that is to say, Wu Jie has a certain degree of independence in the military system, just like Han Shizhong and Yue Fei.

According to the division method of the war period in later generations, Wu Jie can be said to have led a group army, and this group army has many independent divisions, and the general is equivalent to an independent division. The current combatant establishment is 1000 people.

In other words, just based on Wu Jie's words just now, Liu Wei has directly increased from fifty soldiers to twenty times, and has become a serious general with one thousand soldiers.

This is not a famous general. In theory, a thousand cavalry is naturally more effective than a thousand infantry, but following Wu Jie, he smiled wryly and said to Liu Wei: "Don't thank me first, this But for the trouble I caused you, maybe you will still hate me in your heart!"

"How could it be?" Liu Wei asked rather puzzled.

"I currently have a total of ten generals in my hand, and the one given to you is already the last one, but you should also know how many soldiers and horses we monks have in total now, right?"

When Wu Jie said this, Liu Wei immediately reacted, and thought to himself: I understand that the title of general is given to me, but it must be a polished commander, oh no, a general with 150 troops, Well, where should I recruit the remaining 850 people?
Perhaps seeing the change in the expression on Liu Wei's face, Wu Jie followed closely and said, "It seems that you understand? Lack of soldiers, food, equipment, hey, I'm not competent!"

Seeing Wu Jie blaming himself, Liu Wei hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, there is no need to do this. It is true that the country is facing a crisis now, and the court has no food left!"

"Yes! In the face of a national crisis, the court has no food left! Liu Wei, what you said is so accurate! Wu Lin, let Liu Yi handle all the formalities for the badge of the general. In the face of a national crisis, there are not so many red tapes and regulations. Pay attention, as for soldiers and horses, you have to worry about it yourself, Liu Wei!"

When Liu Wei returned to his subordinates, Wu Anbang and the others were quite concerned.

In the battle against Wulu, Liu Wei was not the only one who was famous, even with his fifty personal soldiers and one hundred crossbowmen, he immediately became a celebrity of Monk Yuan, and many other people under his command came to inquire. One wanted to hear the original version of the battle, and the other was because someone was thinking about whether they could "hop" to Liu Wei's command.

But at this time, the outside world didn't know that Liu Wei had been promoted to general, and with his original title of guerrilla general, his subordinates were already full, or even overstaffed.

"My lord, is there no reward? Is it money or a hat?"

Although Wu Anbang doesn't talk much in normal times, he has been following Liu Wei for a long time. Naturally, he knows that Liu Wei in normal times is actually very talkative.

Glancing at Wu Anbang, then at Chai Qingyuan who was equally curious but unable to speak, Liu Wei pointed at the two of them and said, "Come in with me!"

Liu Wei was in Monk Yuan's residence, which Wu Anbang and others had just cleaned up for him.The place of Heshangyuan was originally just a small market. After being selected by Wu Jie as the place for the decisive battle, most of the aborigines here have been relocated and evacuated to Bashu. Not to mention the number of vacant houses, and the conditions are quite bad.

Even so, when Liu Wei came, there was no extra house for him, and the fifty Gaojiazhuang children he brought to use. As a last resort, Liu Wei could only stay in the camp that Wu Lin allocated for him. Here, let Wu Anbang and others seize the time to cut logs and build them by themselves.

Not only is the house brand new, but even the tables, chairs and benches inside are brand new.

In fact, only General Liu Wei had some belongings in his room. In the room where Wu Anbang and other soldiers lived, there was only Datong shop.

But even if it is a Datong shop, at least it is in the room, with walls and a roof, which is already a kind of happiness compared to sleeping in the barren mountains and mountains.

"Sit down, General Wu, General Chai!"

"A partial general?"

Both Wu Anbang and Chai Qingyuan froze for a moment, Chai Qingyuan reacted quickly, and then smiled and said: "My lord, you are now a general!"

Liu Wei pursed his lips and loosened his shoulders, "It's a regular general, but there is a bare-handed commander, and the two of you are partial generals. Each of you has fifty soldiers, and the fifty soldiers brought out by Gaojiazhuang are my relatives." Bing, don’t even think about it.” Waving his hand, Liu Wei was also putting his words in front of him.

According to the usual practice of the imperial army, if it is in the infantry category, a general can have a maximum of [-] soldiers, while in the cavalry category, the maximum limit of a general is only [-] cavalry.In fact, for the Song Dynasty, which was seriously short of war horses, many generals often couldn't even bring a hundred horses.

Now that Liu Wei is a general, he can have up to five partial generals. Although Wu Anbang and Chai Qingyuan may not be the top five around Liu Wei, they are the only ones who can be appointed as partial generals at the moment. one.

In comparison, Liu Wei felt that he was more humane than Wu Jie. He thought that Wu Jie only gave Liu Wei the status of a general, and he had no soldiers, horses, money and food, and Liu Wei at least gave Wu Anbang and Chai Qingyuan [-] yuan each. A soldier, a crossbowman.

"My lord, you are really, too generous. If my subordinates remember correctly, one general can lead five hundred crossbowmen!" The wry smile on Chai Qingyuan's face was exactly the same as that of Liu Wei in Wu Jie's camp, and Liu Wei's expression at this time was exactly the same as that of Wu Jie at that time.

"Not issued, the national crisis is at stake, and the imperial court has no food left! As a general, so far, there are only you two generals, and we have 150 pitiful soldiers outside. Do you have any ideas on how to solve this problem?"

Wu Anbang and Chai Qingyuan looked at me and I looked at you, and finally turned to Liu Wei, shaking their heads in unison.

"I have an idea." After a slight pause, Liu Wei looked at the two and said.
