These mausoleums are Li Miao's proud work. It was designed and built by Li Miao in conjunction with later mausoleum buildings.
Tombs will be built at major traffic arteries. Adapt measures to local conditions, easy to defend but difficult to attack! This saves time and effort in the construction of the mausoleum.
It also has the advantage of occupying the main road. For example, the current Jurchen army is blocked by these mausoleums.
If the Jurchen army wants to continue to penetrate into the Dalian area, it must capture the mausoleum. There are also trails nearby that can go deep into the Dalian area.
But the road was rugged and it was difficult for horses and supplies to pass through. If the large army wants to pass, there is no need to even think about it.
And in many places, the Liaodong Bureau will also send people to garrison. As the saying goes, one man is in charge. No one can stop it. In fact, even if these barriers are released, it will not mean much to the Jurchens.
The Jurchens' strengths are large-scale horse battles and field battles. As long as the Jurchens' horses can't get through. Even if a small number of Jurchens pass by, they will not pose much of a threat.
Therefore, the Liaodong Bureau built the mausoleum, which made the Jurchens lose their advantage. There is no other way but to attack the mausoleum.
Of course, you can also choose not to fight. Return home. But this time the Jurchens also came prepared. The siege infantry that had been prepared for several years finally came into use.
At least there is no need for the cavalry to attack the mausoleum directly. Therefore, this year's Liaodong Campaign is an offensive and defensive battle surrounding the mausoleum.
Each mausoleum is adapted to local conditions. Occupy traffic arteries. If the Jurchens want to win, the number of troops they invest each time is limited.
The mausoleum is such a big place, no matter how many troops there are, it won't be able to deploy it. This is the key advantage of the mausoleum.
The Jurchens wanted to take advantage of their large numbers and capture a mausoleum at all costs. Sorry, take your time.
The amount of troops invested at one time is limited. Therefore, if the Jurchens want to capture a mausoleum, they can only slowly fill it with their lives.
Even if the Jurchens manage to capture a few mausoleums in the end, the price they pay must be heavy. The Liaodong Bureau adopted a three-story mausoleum defense in depth this time.
That is to say, the focus is on strengthening the defense of the first three floors of the mausoleum. Even if the Jurchens conquer a mausoleum, it is not of great significance.
There are two layers of mausoleum defense systems behind it. More than 80% of the Liaodong Bureau's security forces are concentrated in the first three layers of the mausoleum defense system.
The Jurchens took down the first floor of the mausoleum, but they still couldn't get in. Winning the three-story mausoleum system means that the Liaodong Bureau's security force has been reduced to seventy-eight percent.
It is no longer a big problem for the Jurchens to win. But that was nearly 100,000, and the quality of the individual soldiers was far better than that of the Jurchen guards.
At present, due to the effect of Jia Tanchun's Art of War, the cooperation of these guards has also made great progress.
Especially the cooperation between two or three people has made the most obvious progress. The guards focus on training cooperation within a small area.
The battle inside the mausoleum. They are all battles of this level. Once the two sides go to war, it is estimated that the battle loss ratio between the Jurchens and the Liaodong Bureau's guards is one to three.
This is the casualty situation of both sides predicted by the Liaodong Bureau based on the situation of both sides. If the guards of the Liaodong Bureau adapt to fighting.
There is still room for improvement in the battle loss ratio. The guards of the Liaodong Bureau were mainly Han slaves. Although their force value is stronger than that of the Jurchens.
But no blood has been seen yet. At the beginning of the battle, the guards of the Liaodong Bureau entered the state relatively slowly.
The senior officials of the Liaodong Bureau have also taken adequate response measures. All of these guards had families.
Now their family is small and has been moved to the rear. Therefore, the guards of the three-story mausoleum on the front line were almost prepared for the worst.
None of these guards, nor their families, want to live the same life as before. What kind of day are you living now?
In the past, under the rule of the Jurchens, it could not be considered a human life. Death is not terrible. Even if these guards die in battle, they can still leave a fortune for their families.
At least they are better off materially. This includes military merit awards and death benefits. This is the benefit of Li Miao's request to use the family as a unit within the sphere of influence.
With the ties of family members, the guards are better able to maintain discipline. Even if you die in battle, you can still achieve certain benefits for your family.
The family members of the three-story mausoleum on the front line had already evacuated. There isn't much food left in the mausoleum.
Of course, for thousands of guards, there is plenty of food and grass. In order to prevent the Liaodong Bureau from being captured, the Liaodong Bureau.
A large amount of food supplies were left for the Jurchens. Therefore, in the first three floors of the mausoleum, only one or two months' food and grass were left for the guards.
War is about supplies. The physical fitness of the guards will be strong if the supplies are sufficient. Now that the end of the year is approaching, the Liaodong region has entered a cold winter.
The temperature dropped to minus twenty degrees. The Jurchens are indeed more cold-resistant than the Han people. But that also requires eating meat.
Even without meat, you are still afraid of the cold and will freeze to death. Although the Jurchens have prepared enough food and grass for two months this time.
But sufficient food and grass is also relative. Compared with the Jurchen cavalry, there may be very sufficient food and grass.
But the Hannu cavalry and Hannu infantry are much different. After all, this is still an era of scarcity. The Jurchens came all the way and how much supplies they could carry.
It would be good if most people can maintain food and clothing. As for the other Han slaves and craftsmen who transported grain and grass, let alone them.
It would be nice to be half full. The other thing is keeping warm, which is a problem for so many people. The key is to look at cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold.
These are all strengths - soft powers. The Liaodong Bureau has had sufficient food supplies in recent years. Meat, eggs and poultry are abundant, and the food for the guards is not to mention.
Having enough food has not been a problem for a long time, but now we pay attention to eating well. If the guards don't eat well, how can their force value be increased?
The guards have long been paying attention to nutrition. In the severe cold of minus 20 degrees. In addition to eating meat, there are also strong alcoholic beverages to keep out the cold.
As for the winter clothes to keep out the cold, the guards already had one for everyone. Now outdoors, the Liaodong Bureau's guards stood motionless for an hour.
No frostbite either. This fully reflects the benefits of the Liaodong Bureau's abundant supplies. If both sides continue to waste time like this, it won't be long.
The Jurchens will definitely lose a lot of weight. The guards of the Liaodong Bureau will only become stronger. Strengthening your physique every moment.
The cold winter is not a good season for practicing martial arts. There are many guards in the Liaodong Bureau, and they don't even wear cotton-padded clothes.
Polishing your body outdoors. Li Miao looked at the battle reports from the front line. There are now frequent battle reports for the Liaodong Bureau. Two or even three reports a day.
Although the war has not started yet. The two sides have clearly entered a state of war. War is about to break out.
Li San, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Bureau's guards, was the supreme commander of the Liaodong Bureau's battle. Frequently appeared on the front line of the mausoleum to cheer for the guards.
This time Li San's main position was on the second echelon of the mausoleum. There is no specific location. It is mobile.
In addition, there were five thousand cavalry with Li San. As a last resort. The role of these five thousand cavalry is more to deter the Jurchens.
and boosting the morale of his own guards. The real practical effect is actually not great. The symbolic meaning is obvious!
It was impossible for Li San to send five thousand cavalry to the mausoleum to fight hard. It is even less likely to be sent to fight against the Jurchen cavalry.
However, at the critical moment, Li San would not feel sorry for these cavalry. Before the war, Li Miao had already written to Li San alone.
The content of the letter is mostly encouraging. Let Li San not have any worries and just let go. In a big battle, it is most taboo to have someone gesticulating from behind.
The battlefield situation is changing rapidly. Front-line commanders must have arbitrary power. The more rules and regulations given, the more it will limit the coach's performance.
Li Miao did not have no requirements for Li San. Li Miao emphasized in the letter.
"If all three layers of the mausoleum's defenses are breached, there is no need to come back to see me." In Li Miao's view, such a situation is still possible.
It stands to reason that there are nearly 100,000 guards in the three-tiered mausoleum defense. The battle loss is one to three. The guards are exhausted, and they want to kill and injure 300,000 Jurchens.
Unless there is a rout. Once the guards fled. Not to mention nearly 100,000 guards, no matter how many guards there are, it's useless.
Therefore, this requires Li San and even the senior officials of the Liaodong Bureau to mobilize the guards before the war. Let the guards have no worries and let the guards dare to fight.
That is to say, the policies of the Liaodong Bureau must be implemented to the letter. If the top management of the Liaodong Bureau cannot even do this well, it would be a serious dereliction of duty.
So on the surface, the war seems to be a reflection of the combat power of the soldiers on both sides. It was the commanders-in-chief of both sides who were competing for wits and courage.
An excellent commander can boost the morale of his own soldiers. Morale plays a vital role in war.
Coupled with the endless strategies of the commanders. It also determines the outcome of the war. In fact, the combat effectiveness of the military, but more importantly, is the concentrated expression of the political, economic and other aspects of the forces on both sides.
An advanced political and economic system determines the combat effectiveness of its army. Take the Liaodong Bureau as an example.
Let’s analyze it from a political perspective first. The guards of the Liaodong Bureau all have families. Their fight is not just for themselves.
He is also fighting for his family. A series of systems of the Liaodong Bureau. It solves the worries for the guards.
Wealth has always been sought in danger. The surviving guards from this war. It can be said that it has reached the sky in one step.
It’s not just positions that can be promoted. Wealth will also increase a lot. Even if you die in battle unfortunately. His family will also receive preferential treatment from the Liaodong Bureau.
Enjoy the treatment of martyrs. There is also a generous pension. Li Miao's power has always focused on giving preferential treatment to the martyrs' relatives.
The families of the martyrs will never be allowed to suffer any further injustice. Of course, as a guard, if you escape on the battlefield.
The Liaodong Bureau also has very strict sanctions. These Liaodong Bureau's systems determine the performance of the guards on the battlefield.
The Liaodong Bureau taught the guards Jeet Kune Do. The general combat power of these guards is much stronger than that of the Jurchens.
As long as they perform normally, they will definitely have a clear upper hand against the Jurchens in the mausoleum. Economically speaking, Liaodong Bureau has developed extremely well in recent years.
Whether it is industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, etc., Liaodong Bureau has achieved considerable development.
Liaodong Bureau has developed industry. This caused the Liaodong Bureau's arsenal to produce the most advanced weapons and armor for the guards.
Directly improves the combat power and life-saving ability of the guards. Especially this year's Liaodong Bureau Arsenal. He also made advanced and extremely lethal metal crossbows for the guards of the mausoleum.
To effectively kill Jurchens on the battlefield, long-range weapons were provided.
