Chapter 155 Dimension Reduction Strike(2/2)
Such a result, let alone realizing it, it is impossible for you to let Zhao Wei and Wen Tianxiang and the others dream again!
So, what causes such a result? Shouldn’t it be summarized?
Moreover, putting aside the result and looking at the process of the battle is an incomprehensible thing for the soldiers of this era.
Let’s say that, whether it’s quick or not, or Zhang Jue, their tactics and tactics are very traditional.
When a large army fights, it hits the key points directly, and its strategic purpose is simple and crude. To attack Lingxiao is to attack Lingxiao. To attack the city is to attack the city.
In the meantime, strategies, or strange weapons and tricks are also aided by grand strategies.
However, in this battle, the Song army did not have a large army.
Subu An has been looking for where the main force of the Song army is, but the Song army actually has no main force, so it completely reversed the situation.
From the beginning, it was mainly small troops, but there was a strategic goal - to rescue Lingxiao City.
However, when the battle started, this goal kept changing.
From rescuing Lingxiao's siege to protecting the Divine Arm City, to tentatively oppressing Chongqing.
When the 100,000 soldiers from Shen'anbing City returned to Chongqing, they immediately changed directions and turned to Yibin. They ate the 100,000 soldiers.
Moreover, war investment has changed again and again.
At the beginning, only the Xuetou Army and Wangxiang Camp were moving, and the main force of the Sichuan Army was still stationed in Diaoyu City to protect the base camp without any loss.
However, as we fought, in the end, Diaoyu City did not even leave any soldiers and all the soldiers, and they came out in full bloom.
Why does this situation cause? Why do you react so quickly? This is worth summarizing.
With his sense of war itself, Zhang Jue and several of his husbands vaguely felt that they might have had a new set of tactics and tactical concepts, which would become the key to the survival of the Song Dynasty in Bashu.
In fact, how could they find a new set of tactical concepts? They find two sets of military thinking that transcends this era.
First of all, it’s tactical.
Let’s take a look at this battle with someone who knows military affairs afterwards. This is a typical case of a multi-army collaborative battle vs. a large army group with intensive offensive and defense!
And it's the kind that's totally abused.
Why do you say so?
Because no answers are not the same as the Song army, whether from the command system, to the intelligence system, or to the coordination of troops, they are not on the same level as the Song army, and they are several dimensions apart.
The Song army has the intelligence support of the Jinyiwei, and it has all-round intelligence support.
Although the troops invested were small, there were artillery, special forces, rangers, navy and conventional infantry.
Xie Ming's cavalry carried artillery and guerrillas into weak parts of the enemy, and the blood-headed special forces were hidden behind the enemy, defeating the enemy's morale with psychological warfare and small-scale harassment.
Zhang Jue's navy and infantry took various postures and cooperated with small groups of troops to achieve strategic goals.
There is even an element of people's urgent war.
Don’t forget that Zhao Wei’s use of land reform and silver to stabilize the Shen’er City has also played a key role.
As for the command system, it is not on the same level.
If you don’t answer quickly, you will still command the three armies, but what about the Song Dynasty? It is the top minds of this era that are working together.
The same is true for intelligence, and the quick-replying intelligence is limited to military. However, the information of the Song Dynasty is full of everything, and except for military, there are also many and very detailed.
The people's sentiments, officials, and even how many land, slaves, and Han people in Luzhou, Chongqing, and Yizhou are under the control of the Jinyiwei.
Without Zhao Mengxi's information, would Zhao Wei arrest him so accurately? Will he be in Luzhou that day and announce land reform on the same day?
In short, this battle was very surprising in the eyes of the Song people, but in the eyes of later generations, it was natural.
It’s not unfair to lose if you don’t answer quickly!
In addition to tactical leadership, there is another benefit from this battle, which can even be said to be the biggest benefit.
That is, this practical command system.
Yes! Why do you take it out alone? It is precisely because it is too advanced. And it invisibly solved something that the Song Dynasty had not figured out for three hundred years.
That is the relationship between civil and military.
Although the old husbands and Zhang Jue are happy, it is because the country is in trouble and they have to unite.
But in fact, the opposition between civil and military officials was a common problem in the Song Dynasty. The disease reached its core and was cured by money.
Although the literati of the Southern Song Dynasty were not like the Northern Song Dynasty, when military men went to war, literati supervised the army and misled the military opportunity, they could at most not cause trouble.
OK., it’s just a sensation if you don’t cause trouble.
In short, if you can't pee in a pot, you can basically have no solution.
So what is the relationship between civil and military in this battle? That is, what is the practical command system?
Simply put, a few literati and husbands did not leave the general's mansion for three months and formulated a complete set of strategies. Zhang Jue, a warrior, implemented it and assigned it to various subordinate generals.
When the lower-level generals are outside, they only need to achieve strategic goals.
As for how to complete it, it is not up to Zhang Jue to decide, nor is it up to the literati’s husband.
The result is that it is very efficient, extremely efficient, and extremely efficient!
Why is this happening?
In fact, it is also very simple. The scholar-official class is the most elite group of people in this era. They have strategic vision and great wisdom. But most of them have no practice, do not know how to lead troops, and do not understand tactics.
Therefore, if you let the literati take charge of soldiers, you will not be able to take good care of them as strong as Wen Tianxiang.
To put it bluntly, the soldiers couldn't execute what he was thinking about.
This is what is called the so-called literati commanding soldiers and delaying the three armies.
Leading troops to fight is the specialty of the warriors. Zhang Jue, Xie Ming and others do not have the ink in Wen Tianxiang and others, nor do they have the lofty view of them. But they can lead, understand every soldier under their command, and understand tactics better.
The result was that the literati only provided their wisdom in the commander's mansion, formulated a general strategic direction, and then Zhang Jue, a military master, would implement it, and the effect would be completely different.
This is like the General Staff of later generations, which formulates strategic directions and war goals, and then handed over to the combat troops below to implement them.
The General Staff will only tell you which unit will be brought to where and what purpose it will achieve. But it will not tell you how to fight, what formation to line up, and how many trenches to dig.
Don’t underestimate this new-style organization similar to the General Staff. This not only allows literati and military generals to cooperate perfectly without rift, but more importantly, this is not one person, this is a group of people!
Moreover, he is the group of people with the highest vision and wisdom in this era!
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Mengxi sent countless information to the General's Mansion, and several husbands were able to find the most useful among countless information, analyze the situation of the enemy and us, and then fine-tune the strategy.
It is precisely because of this that when Xie Ming took down Shen'an Arm City, they sent Zhao Wei to the first time, not others.
Because from Zhao Mengxi's information, they have analyzed that if they want to secure Luzhou, they must mobilize the people and serfs.
And the only one who can do this is Zhao Wei.
He has money and courage.
Because of this, after buying Genting City, it was concluded that it would be better to move the city instead of forcibly occupying it, and Yang Liangjie was selected to execute it.
Yang Liangjie is the uncle and a royal relative. His prestige is more useful than any general, and he can use the least force to empty the Jintang Genting.
Because of this, as soon as Yunding City was obtained, Wen Tianxiang immediately decided that he would increase his troops to Shenbing City if he did not answer.
Therefore, he immediately changed his previous conservative strategy, Diaoyu City came out to coerce Chongqing, and took the three cities of Qingju, Niutouzhai and Liyi.
This kind of collective wisdom, collective courage, collective response, and ability to analyze collectively is simply incomparable to a person without answering it quickly.
Even if he has experienced many battles and is famous, he has to kneel down and obey!
