"Sir, the combat effectiveness of the Jiannu is much higher than that of the Mongols, and their armor is also well-equipped. You must not underestimate the enemy. You must prevent us and the Mongols from being exhausted from fighting, and they suddenly appear on the battlefield to take advantage." Lin Yueru said.
"This is our first time to go out to the fortress to fight. We must put caution first and not waste the battle. We will stay in the stronghold and fight tough battles. We will focus on positional warfare and combine it with mobile warfare under conditions. If there are fighter opportunities, Just use the eight thousand cavalry in hand to fight out. If there is no chance, stick here." Yang Fan said slowly.
Lin Yueru and Tu Shanyue both nodded in agreement. They were relieved that the master had a character that was neither arrogant nor impetuous.
Now, our side relies on water transportation, and its logistics are very secure. It is not a problem to continue fighting for a long time, and there is no need to take risks.
Tu Shanyue said: "My master's strategy is brilliant. Let's not make mistakes first, don't give the enemy a chance, and then look for opportunities to defeat the enemy."
Soon the enemy situation was announced, and Yang Fan immediately issued deployments and orders one by one.
The two cavalry regiments each have 3,600 people, plus Yang Fan's personal battalion of 500 people. As well as the 300 attendant student soldiers who came to the grassland, a total of 8,000 cavalry were on standby in the central square of the camp.
The three hundred student soldiers are students of the Military Academy of Xinghe Academy.
Yang Fan has already begun training regular military academy students.
Now his generals are all servants, and they will have to be formalized and modernized sooner or later in the future. An army with hot weapons will inevitably require a group of high-quality officers who are educated and skilled.
Yang Fan's method of training them, in addition to book study and drill training, is to take them to the battlefield. Only by experiencing war can one truly learn war.
Everyone in the camp was gearing up to fight the Mongols. Long-term ideological education played a big role. No one backed down and everyone wanted to make contributions in this war.
Now, their family has solved the problem of food and clothing. If you want to further improve your social status, you can only rely on learning scientific knowledge to become an intellectual, learning industrial and agricultural technology to become a technician, or becoming a soldier to establish military merit.
As Yang Fan's order was issued, the three militia groups dispersed to three defensive walls to cooperate with the vehicle camp defense. Other troops were stationed inside the camp, awaiting orders to attack.
Zhao Shuigen was one of the first batch of veterans recruited into the regiment training, and he made contributions in the Battle of Rock Beach. He was promoted on the battlefield and was promoted to team leader.
At the beginning, more than 5,000 regiments trained, and after the war, more than 1,000 people survived. Now, almost all of them are officers.
After the subsequent operations to annihilate the gangsters in the south of the Yangtze River and the operation to march to the capital, the army continued to expand. At this time, Zhao Shuigen had already fulfilled the position of deputy battalion commander, that is, deputy captain.
For the militia regiment recruited this time, deputies were directly selected from the combat troops to serve as chief officers.
The deputies of each army are the backing force for officials at all levels. Transferring them directly to the militia is a strategy designed by Yang Fan. It will not affect the troops' operations.
This time Zhao Shuigen was directly appointed as the leader of the First Militia Regiment. This appointment is temporary. After the war, when the militia disbands and returns to the village, these officers will return to their original positions in the army. This is an exercise for these deputy positions.
Let them take charge of their full-time positions for the first time and exercise their ability to coordinate the overall situation.
Before setting off this time, my parents called Zhao Shuigen to them.
He recalled the family's experience of being hungry and cold. Thank you Master for giving me a prosperous and stable life. He was told to fight the enemy bravely and not be afraid of sacrifice. If he could not come back, his family would definitely raise his grandson to be a man.
Back then, his mother was so hungry that she couldn't see. If he hadn't been admitted to Xinghe Tuanlian in time, the family would have filled in the ditch.
Because opportunities are hard to come by, and he is tall, physically fit, and smart. He trained and studied hard.
Not only did they learn military technology, they also worked hard to learn cultural lessons. In addition, he entered the master's field of vision early and was promoted quickly.
Zhao Shuigan told his parents that he would never embarrass them. We must work hard to secure a good future for our children.
The master has already spoken. The children of the top 50 personnel who have made meritorious service in this battle will be given a place to enter the Xinghe Academy Military Academy.
Now everyone in Yang Fan's system knows that after entering the military academy, he becomes an officer, and he starts at the level of Xiaoqi or squad leader, and is directly responsible for more than thirty people.
The night was already deep, and Zhao Shuigen still hadn't slept.
He persisted and continued to check the defense of the southern section of the wall he was responsible for. He implemented every measure carefully and meticulously. Try not to make any mistakes.
If the battle starts tomorrow, the south wall must be the enemy's main attack direction and will bear the greatest pressure.
Zhao Shuigen felt that the master must have put him here to train him.
Elders like them are all familiar with the master's methods. Whether the master values you or not depends on whether he puts you in the most difficult position.
It wasn't until he had inspected all the one-kilometer section of the wall that he dragged his exhausted body back to sleep.
The next day, the wake-up call sounded an hour late. Outside the tent, bursts of aroma filled the nostrils.
The Huotou Army got up in the middle of the night, steaming steamed buns, stewing braised pork, and grinding soy milk to make tofu. By this time, the tofu was already stewed. The rice is also steamed.
Calories and protein are the two most important nutrients for fighting in this era. Without these two nutrients, soldiers will not have sufficient physical strength and will not be able to fight well.
The soldiers had a good sleep. I feel my energy is back.
They lined up in small groups to wash up, and then the Huotou soldiers brought the food on burdens. White rice, white flour steamed buns, braised pork, stewed tofu, vegetable soup, you can eat as much as you like to keep yourself satisfied.
In addition, according to the number of people, everyone will also have a tael of white wine.
Appropriate drinking can increase the excitement of soldiers and is beneficial to combat. It can also relieve tension and fear.
After eating and resting for an hour, the Mongols finally arrived. Yang Fan observed with a telescope on the top of the mountain and found that the enemy's situation seemed to be different. There were many people coming, it seemed that there were far more than 50,000 people.
Walking slowly in the distance were prairie cavalry. There are also a large number of herders, slaves, etc. on foot.
It was completely dark on three sides. All kinds of people gathered around.
Yang Fan sighed. He knew that Duoyan and Haraqin came with their tribes and drove their cattle and sheep. In addition to warriors, there are also a large number of other tribesmen.
Yang Fan originally wanted to defeat these cavalry and annex their tribes to herd sheep for himself. After all, there was no way for him to stabilize on the grassland without herdsmen.
Now we see that the Mongols are actually using all the people as soldiers, which greatly increases the number of enemies, and these ordinary herdsmen will also suffer a lot. It's not good for Yang Fan's plan.
Directly in the north, some Mongolian nobles wearing gorgeous high-quality uniforms came out from the cavalry group. Yang Fan knew that those in front were all Taijis from various tribes, and those in groups behind were all Tabu Nangs. As for Na Yan and the herd master, they were not qualified to stand there.
Seeing the Mongolian troops gathering together, Yang Fan felt somewhat stressed. These were almost over 100,000 people. This battle is a tough one.
However, that's fine. They gathered them together and saved Yang Fan from searching everywhere. If he wins this battlefield, Yang Fan will solve the problem of Monan Mongolia once and for all.
Tumut, Haraqin, and Duoyan were dealt with at one time, and finally moved westward, destroying the Ordos people and completing the unification of Monan. Then he advanced northward and annexed the twelve Inner and Outer Khalkha Mongolian tribes. Annexation of Buryat Mongols. Basically, Yang Fan's initial strategic intention was completed.
At this time, there was another change on the battlefield. A large group of cavalry wearing blue cloth armor entered the battlefield from behind the Mongols.
The Mongolians dispersed on both sides and made way for the passage. They seemed to be very respectful to these people in blue armor.
Looking at their flags, Yang Fan's eyes narrowed.
"True blue flag!"
Three updates tomorrow
