This is not surprising.
Generals Fang Xiaoyue was familiar with, such as Li Qingshu, had all risen in rank after receiving rewards for their meritorious service.
Some were transferred to the capital to serve, and some were transferred to the coast. There was no one like Fang Xiaoyue who stayed where he was.
Because this is the principle of appointing military attachés in Daze Kingdom.
In order to prevent generals from being left behind due to long-term appointments in one place, the Daze Kingdom's court put a lot of effort into the appointment and transfer of military attaches.
To put it simply, mid- to senior-level military attachés who have served for more than five years must be transferred out of the province.
Military attachés who are promoted in rank must be transferred out of their post.
Senior military attachés who are promoted to the third rank or above must be transferred to the capital to serve.
It is precisely for this reason that in the more than two hundred years of history of Daze Kingdom, there have been few incidents of rebellion by military attaches.
What's more, the two elders, Zhenbeihou and Jiangyanghou, took over as the head coaches of the two lines, bringing a large number of confidant generals from the capital with rank four or above.
Only when Ben Chachao retreated into the tribe and captured the remaining old men, women, and children did he know what was going to happen next. One of the elderly herdsmen, who seemed to have a lower status, got off the ground and shouted: "Which tribe are they from?"
But faced with an attack that was almost provocative, we naturally showed no mercy and immediately drew our bows to fight back.
Before resting by the river for the night, it was getting dark. Benxiwan hurriedly broke camp and retreated north along the Darien River. When he was about 70 kilometers away, he saw a group of sheep grazing on the grass.
The reason why the head coach of the Northwest Army was asked to follow the rear army is entirely because the Northwest Army suffered heavy losses before two consecutive small battles. There were too few recruits outside. We must be allowed to fight as the vanguard. If we fight a tough battle, we will be direct. rout.
The vanguard army will not send troops until seven days before the guerrilla army sets off, while the central army will send troops a week before, before worshiping the sky.
Ma Yingyi personally interrogated these captured Xiaoyue herders and got some information from our mouths.
He is not only the county magistrate, but also in charge of Benjiangyang Hou Yong.
To put it more complicatedly, in this life of free fighting, Cha Chaoming never gave the guerrillas any orders to attack which tribes. Instead, he asked them to wait for the opportunity and annihilate the barbarian tribes they encountered as much as possible.
After all, when they first sent out troops, Xiwanman made a promise in order to recruit fewer cavalry.
That's not surprising. Although Jie Market has been reduced to ruins, there are still not many bad things outside that are recognized by Xiaoyue herdsmen, such as the iron pots and bowls used for cooking, and even the feeding troughs used to feed horses. All bad things.
After Ozawa and Xiaoyue stopped fighting and negotiated peace, it was possible that the boundary market would be restored.
The vanguard is the most important part of the entire army. It is responsible for a series of important tasks such as exploring the path of the entire army, detecting the enemy's situation, checking the geography, tentatively retreating, disrupting the enemy's deployment, etc.
As a result, civil strife broke out among the Fang Xiaoyue clan.
After all, the Fang Xiaoyue clan has a very high level of civilization and can manufacture very few things.
Apart from the situation of several Xiaoyue tribes in Shishi, the most important thing should not be the civil strife in Xiaoyue.
It must be said that the young herdsman was extremely decisive. I threw on my long shepherd's whip, turned around and ran away. At the same time, I kept making sharp and low shouts to warn the people of my tribe.
To put it bluntly, senior military attaches above the third rank basically do not have the power to command troops. They all serve in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, which is like a pension.
Because the remaining Fang Xiaoyue tribe moved along the river as much as possible.
But that time, Xiao Zeguo launched a full-scale attack on the Fang Xiaoyue tribe, and the small army retreated into the Xiaoyue grassland. It was just the vanguard rushing behind, which seemed to be weak.
To put it bluntly, the guerrilla army delayed their departure for Shishi in order to catch the Fang Xiaoyue tribe off guard, and try to cause enough damage as much as possible after the Fang Xiaoyue tribe reacted!
From our point of view, the people in our tribe are all members of the tribe, regardless of whether they are Fang Xiaoyue or Xiaoze!
To be honest, a county magistrate like Ma Yingyi might have already registered outside the imperial court.
The shepherds who were grazing cattle and horses in the distance also received the warning and ran all the way in the direction of the tribe.
That means we are passionate and affectionate.
After all, the guerrillas have less freedom than the vanguard.
Frontier armies like the Northwest Army are exceptions. After all, frontier armies often have to fight. If the soldiers and generals don't know this, it will be in trouble.
And before finding the river, it means that we can easily find some tribes.
The Chinese army was naturally led by Jinlu Khan himself, with more than 80,000 troops under his command, including cavalry, spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, archers, crossbowmen, etc., and there was not even a special tank. The chariot army was used to deal with the surprise attack of the Fang Xiaoyue tribe's cavalry.
There is a way. The distance between the two sides is more than seventy or eighty meters. At that distance, the volunteers cannot be nervous enough to shoot from any posture, and at the same time, every shot will miss.
Their total strength was less than a thousand, all of which were cavalry.
Now, transferring Ma Yingyi to participate in the small counterattack against Xiao Yue may not mean that Ben Xiwan's strength is wasted.
Secondly, the Chachaoming clan is said to be one country, but in reality it is full of internal disputes and contradictions.
In the end, they got it, but when they fled in defeat, they had to discard everything no matter how bad it was. In the end, when the family fled back to the grassland, they had nothing, and even the cattle and sheep they took out were lost. Almost exhausted.
This is a certain sense of separation of use and training in Daze Country.
For example, the local garrisons in each province are mainly composed of county soldiers and county soldiers from each county. They are subordinate to each other and have no relationship with their superiors.
Before, Ma Yingyi went to visit Jin Luhan. It was late in the evening before he quietly broke out of camp and sent out troops, leaving the provincial capital and heading towards the border city.
Before the military meeting began, Ma Yingyi took people to the baggage camp to collect military flags for identification as well as supplementary military rations, missing arrows and other materials, and allowed Ben Xiwan to rest in the camp for two days.
Two days before crossing the border city, Benxiwan found the Darien River under the small grassland.
After all, the grass farther away from the river will grow more lush, and domestic animals such as cattle, sheep, and horses also need a small amount of drinking water.
After all, many buildings under the Xiaoyue Grassland do not have cities. These Xiaoyue tribes often live in pursuit of water and grass. Except for the royal city built by the Xiwan Man, we do not have any fixed settlements.
Since Ma Yingyi was not the first to arrive at the provincial capital, before I arrived, the military meeting chaired by the two military veterans immediately retreated to the stage of assigning tasks.
Of course, that wasn't news eight months later.
In short, the chiefs of each small tribe believe that Cha Chaoming has brought huge losses to Xiao Yue and is worthy of being Xiaohan, so he should be replaced.
Without water, there is nothing.
After all, the herdsmen who were so poor that they came to dig through the rubbish in the ruins had very good news channels. Being able to know the news eight months later was very wrong.
Because of the special circumstances, without the vanguard, the establishment of guerrillas becomes awkward.
In fact, the people outside the tribe were just as Ma Yingyi suspected. We didn't escape immediately before we got the warning.
Under such circumstances, even what the people of Ozawa consider to be shabby, in the eyes of these poor Xiaoyue herdsmen, they are big treasures of evil.
In reality, we still don’t regard ourselves as a part of Qiongshui County, and Qiongshui County is not a weak and incomparable tribe in our eyes!
And now these county soldiers and generals will be assigned to these confidant generals one by one.
As for local civil servants, it is even less necessary to say that their powers can be removed with a single imperial order.
Ma Yingyi had no intention of directly annihilating that tribe, so he simply pretended to be Hadalu, who was directly under the Xiwanman.
The people who are actually in charge of the army in normal times are basically military attaches with rank five or below.
And set them as the tail army, feel the atmosphere of war, and mop up the tail after failure. If it takes a long time, these recruits will also become veterans.
There are more than 700,000 imperial troops and Beijing troops stationed in the capital all year round. With such strong trunks and strong branches, it is basically possible for local generals to rebel.
In such a situation, it is necessary to have a guerrilla army to fight guerrillas in the vanguard for seven weeks to eliminate the barbarian tribes that may threaten the vanguard and the central army.
Therefore, it is often difficult for herders living in small grasslands to find rivers.
Under such circumstances, a dozen tribes united and raised troops to intimidate the Xiwan barbarians to take over.
"You are Hadalu, who is directly under the Xiwanman. On the order of the Xiwanman, you are here to recruit their tribe."
The reason why the guerrilla army delayed their departure for a few days was because Jin Luhan wanted to cover up the possible presence of the Fang Xiaoyue tribe here.
But what Ma Yingyi didn't expect was that just before Ben Xiwan revealed his fake identity, the old herdsman suddenly became angry and led the herdsmen to draw their bows and arrows and shoot at us.
To put it simply, the military's combat routine is the same. The order of dispatching troops is divided into vanguard, middle army, and front army. Among them, there are still food road escorts, guerrillas, etc. that have not continued.
The guerrilla position is not permanent in Ozawa's military formation.
Eight days ago, Benxiwan, who was marching at daily speed, crossed the ruined boundary city and retreated into the Chachao grassland.
In addition, the cavalry brought out by each tribe also suffered heavy losses.
And how could Zha Chaoming agree to such a thing.
But when passing through Jie City, the volunteer scouts caught a few Chachao herdsmen picking up rags outside Jie City.
First, Benxiwan sent troops secretly. In order to keep the secret, the Fang Xiaoyue clan did not delay preparations. Wherever Benxiwan went, there might be traces left.
Ma Yingyi was awarded the guerrilla position at that military meeting.
Hadalu is one of the most elite cavalry teams under Xiwanman.
Ma Yingyi readily accepted that task.
Therefore, such an important task might be undertaken by a motley crew like Pensiwan.
What's more, several chiefs of small tribes have been beheaded by Xiwan barbarians.
As a series of arrows went silent, all the women and children who dared to attack Yiyong fell to the ground.
Such an armed force lurking among the people and under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War really made everyone in the court feel uneasy.
When they arrived at the grassland, Ma Yingyi always used paper cranes to guide the way. These volunteers who rushed to Xiwan knew how to act.
Therefore, we have no sympathy at all for those Chachaoming herdsmen.
Like Xiaoyue, the vanguard force on the front line was not served by the cavalry Pofeng Battalion of General Zhaowu Shishi, Jinlu Khan's old subordinate. However, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the vanguard force, Jinlu Khan also specially transferred two cavalry teams from the frontier army. Get involved.
Very few of the young people outside the large tribes were lost, and almost all of them could not survive.
An old herdsman riding a horse and wielding a shepherd's whip was keenly aware of the approaching cavalry group.
In fact, few rivers under small grasslands have fixed channels. Due to light rains and other reasons, it is often difficult for those rivers to change their course.
What made Ma Yingyi think even more was that before seeing that scene, the remaining women and even children outside the tribe rushed out of the tribe, picked up the bows and arrows that had fallen on the ground, and headed towards the west. Wan launched a retreat.
The tail army is composed of eight personal guard battalions followed by the northwest army commander plus two special battalions, totaling less than 20,000.
As civil strife broke out, these large tribes had to move immediately to avoid the fighting between the two sides.
In the blink of an eye, these two hundred herdsmen were all shot to death.
Of course, with Benxiwan's current strength, it is almost impossible for the arrows shot by these shepherds to hurt us.
Before Bensiwan approached the tribe, about two hundred herdsmen emerged from these tents. We dismounted our horses, grabbed our riding bows, and gathered behind the tribe with a murderous look.
To this day, the civil strife in the Fang Xiaoyue clan is still ongoing.
Fights frequently broke out between the tribes directly under Xiwanman and various smaller tribes.
The number of volunteers must be less than 4,000, and if His Majesty the Emperor was willing to transfer them back to the capital after being beaten to death, I'm afraid the imperial court would have already taken action.
Under the open grassland, the sound cannot travel very far.
To put it more complicatedly, it was not that before the Xiwanman returned from a small defeat, the chiefs of each small tribe were extremely satisfied with him.
Benjiangyang Houyong could not run slower than those herdsmen with his galloping horse technique, but we all suppressed the urge to speed up the horses. Instead, we followed Cha Chaoming's order and quickly approached the tribe at a constant speed.
Before the interrogation, Ma Yingyi said nothing and continued to retreat with his troops. The few brave scouts who stayed behind did not take into account the friendship between the Xiaoyue tribe and the rest of the world. They drew their swords and chopped down the barbarian herdsmen. On the ground.
Is Xiaojia sending out troops hoping to rob grain, grass, craftsmen, gold, silver, and jewelry from Xiao Zeguo to make a fortune?
It is said that these tribes who obeyed Cha Chaoming have launched a new young Khan, known as Eagle Khan, who is leading 80,000 troops and fights with Cha Chaoming's remaining 20,000 young cavalry in the depths of the grassland.
The other thing is that as soon as I take over and someone else steps down, the tribes directly under me will inevitably be divided, and that is something I can never accept.
We have no concept of a country at all. When faced with conflicts of interest and other situations, we value the interests of our own tribe less.
Damn it, at that time, even if Ma Yingyi was not merciful, these Benjiangyang Houyong would be merciless at all.
