Chapter 100: Victory in the first battle

In fact, there is no shortage of famous generals who are good at mountain warfare in Chinese history, let alone mountain combat units. As early as the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang worshiped Tu Sui as a national lieutenant and led an army of 500,000 to the battle. Divided into five armies, attacking Rongcheng (now Jingxian County, Hunan), Jiuzhi (now Ningyuannan, Hunan), Panyu (now Guangzhou, Guangdong), Nanye (now Kangjing, Nanjiang, Jiangxi), Yugan (now Yuganjing, Jiangxi), at first Tu Sui was invincible, and the progress was smooth, but the military leader of the Xiou tribal alliance Ji Jun ambushed Tu Sui and defeated the Qin army.

Subsequently, Qin Shi Huang changed to Zhao Tuo, who was born as a warrior of the Qin State Iron Eagle.

The Iron Eagle Ruishi of the Qin Dynasty can be said to be the originator of the current special forces. When Sima Cuo was training the Iron Eagle Warriors, a soldier had to be fully armoured, holding a spear, a broad-bodied short sword, a fine iron dagger, twenty long arrows and an iron-tired hard bow on his back, a cowhide shield, three days of military rations, and a continuous march of a hundred miles with such a thing. These things add up to about eighty pounds, such a high training intensity is really not something that ordinary people can bear, no wonder among the twenty recruits, only more than a thousand people can be selected. According to this standard, it is really stricter than the selection of special forces in some countries now, and I have to admire the Qin army at that time.

After Zhao Tuo was reappointed as the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Corps, he summed up the lessons of Tu Sui's failure, combined with the training of some Iron Eagle sharp soldiers, and the Qin Dynasty's Southern Expeditionary Army can also be regarded as the first mountain warfare force in Chinese history.

Of course, there are very few records dedicated to the Qin Dynasty's conquest of the southern army, so everyone is very unfamiliar with the Qin Dynasty's conquest of the southern army. However, another mountain warfare in ancient China is very famous, that is, the Wudang Flying Army created by Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms era. After the formation of the Wudang Flying Army, with Zhuge Liang out of Qishan, the whole army was defeated because of Ma Tan's mistakes, and it was the Flying Army led by Wang Ping after the interruption, fighting to the death, beating the drum on the other hand to confuse the enemy, successfully covering the other departments to withdraw from the battlefield, and retreating with their whole body, which is a small test of the edge, and the Wudang Flying Army is often used to crusade against the rebellious ethnic minorities due to the characteristics of mountain warfare.

Of course, Chen Ying also knew that if he recruited young people from mountainous ethnic minorities to train into an army, it would get twice the result with half the effort, but it was a pity that Chen Ying did not have that condition now.

In fact, Chen Ying was not familiar with mountain warfare, but in the era of information explosion in later generations, Chen Ying knew very well what the trend of military development was, in short, just the supremacy of firepower. Among them, the most ruthless play was the former Soviet Union, concentrating its forces to attack one point, opening a gap, and the entire battalion, the whole regiment or even the entire army broke into it, until the enemy's defense line was crushed and crushed, of course, the Germans were encountered, and the Soviets suffered very heavy casualties. Of course, the supremacy of firepower plays the most smoothly is the US military, first three-dimensional attack, overwhelming bomber bombing, then artillery bombardment day and night, and finally dense tanks swarming, of course, after encountering resistance, they will never assault, but immediately retreat and continue to cover with firepower.

Chen Ying convened a meeting of all the generals above the rank of captain and captain of the Dongzi Right Guard, and told them about the characteristics of mountain warfare and the precautions: "Mountain warfare has the very special characteristics of mountainous areas, narrow space, unable to deploy troops at the same time, and multi-arm cooperation. For example, the reorganization of our regimental unit is not suitable for mountain warfare! ”

The combat and tactical units of the Tang Dynasty were regiments, which could also be divided into middle bases, tun cavalry, archery, Yue cavalry, infantry troops, long water, and long soldiers according to their functions and equipment.

The so-called Yue Cavalry Army, "New Tang Dynasty Book Soldiers": "All people are soldiers at twenty years, and they are exempted from sixty." Those who can ride and shoot are Yue Riders. "To explain in simple words, this is light cavalry. Tun cavalry, it is a heavy cavalry. The infantry is lightly armed, and the middle base is the heavy infantry, in the era of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty began to form a Modao army, and the middle base regiment in the Zhichong Mansion was fully replaced by the Modao regiment. Archery, as the name suggests, is a crossbowman. Changshui is not the meaning of the water army, but refers to the name of the Xuanqu River, the original period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Wuhuan people and Hu cavalry who were in charge of Changshui and Xuanqu. In the Tang Dynasty, it was understandable to subordinate the army. The long soldier is the military branch that specializes in operating long weapons, such as spears, spears, etc.

However, among the six rates of the East Palace, and the Changshui Regiment was established.

Wei Wenzhong asked, "How do you want to change it?" ”

Chen Yingdao: "All of them are disrupted, with gangs as units, each gang still has ten people, three middle bases, three infantry soldiers, two shooting voices, and two long soldiers. Each team still has five gangs under its jurisdiction, and the five gangs are named one, two, three, four, and five! ”

Du Shanguo, who joined the army in the book's office, said suspiciously: "Our right guard has five Zhichong Mansions under its jurisdiction, a total of 25 regiments, including five regiments of Shooting Sound and Yue Cavalry Commander, 1,000 people. The middle base and infantry regiments have only five regiments. ”

Chen Ying nodded and said: "For the part that is insufficient in shooting, temporarily let the Yue Cavalry Regiment dismount for the sound of shooting, as for the part where the long soldiers are insufficient, then cut the wood into a spear, and the general will ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to allocate equipment, and strive to complete the refitting work within half a month!" ”

Then Chen Ying told the generals about the six tactical principles of the four fields in the later generations, this is the first time Chen Ying took out dry goods, the six tactical principles are the tactical principles summarized by Lin Shuai (to avoid harmony), Luo Shuai, and General Liu, simply put, it is a point of two sides, four fast and one slow, and three fierce.

Fortunately, the right guard rate of the East Palace is different from the generals of the other guards, these generals have followed Chen Ying to fight the Turks, and they have very rich combat experience. After nearly two hours of preparation, the reorganization, refitting and arming of each department were completed in an orderly manner.

Feng Li was also nervously preparing, with a total of thirteen Zhichong Mansion's superior forces of nearly three times the number of guards, if he couldn't beat Chen Ying, then he wouldn't have the face to stay in the East Palace. Of course, Feng Li also knew that this was a drill, not a real fight, and Chen Ying could not do everything he could to deal with the Turks, at least in the process of attacking the mountain, Chen Ying did not dare to let the soldiers directly smash the stones on the mountain.

You must know that the most difficult thing is to face the rolling logs and rocks on the mountain, and often in the mountain attack battle, more than half of the casualties are generated under the blows of the rolling logs or stones. But when the attack began, Feng immediately couldn't laugh.

Although the Jade Mirror Mountain is not big, but the main offensive aspect is only the gentle slope of the south side, or the slightly steep slope of the northeast and due east side, as for the due west direction, there is no need to consider it at all, because the ancients dug the mountain into a nearly vertical cliff when they excavated the Jade Mirror Mountain, unless they can grow wings, there is no way to attack it.

Even if they take a ladder, they can't do it, because they don't have a ladder more than ten feet high.

Wei Chigong is the first wave of offensive echelon, but when he attacks again, Yu Chigong will scold his mother. Because in just two hours, on the gentle slope on the south side, Chen Ying poured a layer of cold water, such a cold weather, immediately frozen into ice, smooth as a mirror, although the slope is relatively gentle, but slippery and not slippery, a regiment of Wei Chigong's department climbed on foot.

However, before Chen Ying's unit could release arrows, the regiment itself fell with a bruised nose and swollen face, as well as dozens of broken legs, feet and arms.

Feng Li was furious and ordered to continue the attack.

This time, Feng Li ordered Wei Chi Gong's troops to carry the firewood and grass that had been prepared long ago, and paved the road as they advanced, so that there would not be so many fall injuries.

However, at this time, the defenders on the top of the mountain poured the boiling snow water down one by one, and more than 3,000 people of Wei Chigong's department were poured into soup.

In such a cold weather, when you are poured with cold water, you will immediately turn into ice flowers.

Wei Chigong had no choice but to order these soldiers to retreat and change their clothes quickly, otherwise it would be really easy to have problems.

But I never thought that these soldiers had not yet retreated, and countless large fireballs rolled down from the top of the fire.

At the same time, Wei Chigong also received an order issued by Chen Ying: "More than 3,000 people in his department have been killed!" ”

Wei Chigong said inexplicably: "How could this be killed?" ”

Chen Ying didn't pay attention to Wei Chigong at all, and Feng Li was silent immediately when he got this order. Chen Ying is right, if it was not poured with water, but fierce fire oil, then these soldiers would have been buried in the fire by now.

Feng Li was not discouraged, although the loss of more than 3,000 people was said to have broken his muscles and bones, it did not mean that he had no chance.

Feng Li ordered the left and right divisions to increase the rate of the left guard, and the remaining 13,000 troops divided into three routes and continued to attack.

PS: I'm very sorry, today's community circuit rectification, it takes ten o'clock to call, helpless to go to the Internet café codeword, but Lao Cheng has no way to calm down in the Internet café, three hours to write a chapter, the follow-up will be a little later.
