From Soldier To Emperor - Chapter 407
The annihilation of more than 8,000 Beiwei cavalry was not a major event in the eyes of the Southern Song court. Officials in the court had no idea about the Beiwei cavalry. At most, they thought they were a relatively elite cavalry.
However, even if the Southern Song Dynasty lacks horses and cavalry, and only has more than 8,000 people, how much influence can it have on the Sichuan defense line, which has gathered almost 200,000 troops?
Yes, when the Southern Song Dynasty court counted the army, it also included the local garrison troops recruited in Sichuan, that is, the army similar to the Beiming Militia Regiment.
It is already the conscience of the bureaucrats of the Southern Song Dynasty if the civil servants who are only responsible for transportation are not counted in.
After all, it is difficult for them to distinguish the real difference between the Yuejia Army and the local garrison.
Everyone is also equipped with broadswords, spears and matchlocks, and the Yue Family Army is nothing more than some of the elite troops whose armor is better.
It is difficult for officials who have not been on the battlefield to understand how far the gap between a veteran and a recruit is on the battlefield!
It’s like the ongoing battle for the defense of the fort, even if the Shazhou Army’s morale continues to decline due to increasing casualties, it can still rely on the superiority of artillery to cause a large number of casualties to the guarding Yue’s Army, and it will not take a few days to do so. Take down an earthen castle on a line.
You know, the Ming army attacked by multiple lines at the same time!
After the battlefield was completely shielded, the guards of Richard’s logistics and transportation routes were able to mobilize the meat grinder thrown into the front line, and the troops became more abundant, and the offensive of multiple routes could naturally be maintained.
In addition, after the complete destruction of the elite cavalry of the Beiwei army, the entire field of vision was obscured by Richard’s cavalry. Richard can always form a huge advantage in local areas, making the guarding Yuejia army exhausted and unable to perform effectively. defense.
As a result, the front-line offensive and defensive battles of the Yue Family Army were repeated defeats and repeated defeats…
After successive failures, the morale of the Yue Family Army also inevitably began to decline!
Morale decreases, and the number of soldiers dropped in battle naturally increases.
Richard did not have any special treatment for these soldiers. The influential mid- and high-level officers were all escorted to the no man’s land west of Congling in the Western Regions. The volunteers broke up the army and used it as cannon fodder. Let’s go to the west of Congling to endure hardship with the officers!
Perhaps it was the tragedy on the battlefield that made the prisoners of the Yue Family Army yearn for a peaceful life. Although the number of soldiers dropped, there were more people who would rather go to the uninhabited land west of Congling in the Western Regions to endure hardship and farming!
Even if Richard’s people have told in detail the pains of the collective farm-style farming model west of Congling which is equivalent to exile, they still cannot stop the wishes of the people who fear the battlefield and are greedy for life and death…
However, there is a real shortage of people to the west of Congling, especially young men. Naturally, Richard will not embarrass these good young people who are willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, and all satisfy their wishes and **** them to the Western Regions.
This kind of battle only lasted for a month, and Yue Fei couldn’t sit still anymore, because the front army at the top had been completely broken!
The huge casualties almost deprived the former army of combat effectiveness!
As for the soldiers selected and recruited from the Sichuan local garrison, their combat effectiveness can’t be compared with the Yuejia Army veterans. Most of them have become prisoners of the Ming army. Many people even changed their uniforms to join the Tubao offensive and defensive battle!
In this battle, Yue Fei fought extremely depressed, even if the field of vision was blocked, all the soldiers killed and wounded on the battlefield were the former Song Army soldiers!
The real main force of the Ming Army was unscathed except for being defeated by the Jingqi of the Beiwei Army!
Richard’s real consumption is nothing more than piles of shells and gunpowder!
Still cheap solid shells, even shrapnel shells are useless!
Because there is no need at all!
The crushing brought about by science and technology gradually pushed Yue Fei to a dead end, and he knew that the Yue Family Army would enter an endless loop if consumed in this way.
Continual defeat will not only reduce the number of Yuejia Army veterans, but will also send a large number of prisoners to the Ming Army, and then these prisoners will be broken up and incorporated into the Shazhou Army to continue to attack the Tubao, thus creating more victories and prisoners!
In such a cycle, Yue Fei discovered that the Ming army lost not much loss in terms of strength except for tens of thousands of shells…
In fact, this kind of offensive and defensive war did not have much advantage to the Yuejia Army. The Ming Army’s artillery evened the advantage of the soil fort on the Sichuan defense line. Although the Ming Army suffered a lot of casualties on the offensive side, all the people who died were the Shazhou Army like cannon fodder. , Don’t feel bad!
Therefore, in this offensive and defensive battle, the defensive party lost, and the longer it takes, the Yue family army will become weaker until it is worn to death by the opponent!
Can’t expect that the Ming Army’s shells will be lit up one day…
The details of the Southern Song Dynasty have returned accurate information. Beiming has an ordnance production base covering a very wide area in the Northwest Region, and all the artillery shells and gunpowder are transported from there!
The minerals in the northwestern region are enough to ensure the stable production capacity of this ordnance production base!
After all, the frontline is only 30 cavalry cannons. Even if it is used every day, how many solid rounds can be shot?
In early January of the 14th year of the Ming Dynasty calendar, Yue Fei’s elaborate counterattack began!
The first is that more than 20,000 troops are made up of the Sichuan local garrison, but they are wearing Yuejia Army uniforms, and the troops under the Yuejia Army flag rushed out of an earthen fort, and thrust into the rear of the Ming Army’s defense line mightily and mightily! ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Of course ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Richard, who had mastered the vision of the entire battlefield, got the news right away.
The Scout Cavalry couldn’t distinguish the true and false of the more than 20,000 Yue Family Army, so Richard also regarded the opponent as the True Yue Family Army.
After all, there are weak soldiers in the Yue Family Army (the supplementary local garrison).
Therefore, Richard ordered the Shazhou Army to stop the offensive, and drew more than 30,000 people from the Shazhou Army, and escorted the Yuejia Army with the Lancers as the supervising team.
Now that the Shazhou Army has been consumed and replenished, the total number has been sharply reduced to more than 50,000. After more than 30,000 are transferred, the ongoing offensive has naturally stopped, and it has withdrawn to the already-conquered earthen fort defense line.
Naturally, the earthen castles have been demolished long ago. It is useless for Richard to want these earthen castles. If the Yue family’s army dared to attack them head-on, Richard would go straight up in the field!
In the face of the Yue Family Army, Richard did not shy away, but it was Yue Fei who was afraid of field battles!
If Yue Fei dared to fight a decisive battle in the field, the two sides would not use it to turn back the saw to consume, and continue to bleed the army…
