Chapter 940
The Song army suddenly started from Ezhou in the west and went to Yangzhou in the east to more than ten places in the north of the Yangtze River. Fortunately, the most troops were thousands and dozens of people. After crossing the river, they often did not target the well-defended prefectures, but instead targeted the surrounding riverside water camps and outposts scattered around the river. At the same time, they would also raid the military farms in the hinterland, digging canals, blow up embankments, flood the fields, robbery, kill plowing oxen, destroy Aolu Mansion, robbing property, burn military funds, and for a while, they would smoke everywhere.
"What if the Southern Army does?" Baershu outlined the attacked location on the map. More than 30 defense lines under his jurisdiction were attacked, but he could not see any rules and had no focus, which made it difficult for him to judge the purpose of the Song army's combat, which made him angry.
"According to news from Jiangnan, Lin'an's tabloids said that it was because there were often water bandits crossing the river to plunder the villages and towns in the Yangtze River. Among them, the captured people admitted that they were soldiers of our army, so they launched a retaliation operation!" Jin Rong, the governor of Wanhu Prefecture, said that he was in charge of civil and appropriate matters, that is, he was also the intelligence supervisor.
"Revenge?! I think this is just an excuse. The purpose should be to find the weakness of the Jiangbei defense line and prepare for the attack." Boyan shook his head and said.
"Right Prime Minister, the young general thinks it is inappropriate. If he is looking for weakness, why should he destroy the military farms and attack the Auru Mansion? They are obviously bandits!" Tuge opposed.
"Idiots, they are trying to cover up their real purpose and cause us to misjudgment. They can't figure out their real attack location and use this to disperse our troops!" Baershu glared at his deputy and said.
"That's not the case. I think it was because the Southern Army had discovered our attempt to move south, so they attacked everywhere to disrupt our deployment. The destruction of military farms was to arouse panic among the military and civilians, and the attack on the Auru Mansion was to destroy our supplies and could not move south!" After being scolded, Tuge was not convinced and retorted.
"Stop quarrel!" Boyan was already very annoyed by the incident of the Goryeo Navy Army. When he heard the two of them quarrel, he felt even more upset and shouted sternly, "Where did the Southern Army launch the most harassment!"
"It should be in Huaixi!" Jin Rong looked through the war reports sent from all over the place, "The Southern Army used the naval army to conquer the Zhajiang Village, and went north along the Ruxu River, trying to go to Chaohu through Wuwei County. Finally, it was blocked from Dongguan Village and forced it to retreat to the Yangtze River. However, when they withdrew their troops, they bombarded Wuwei County with meteor cannons, and the county government office was destroyed, and the granaries were burned, and the accumulated materials were not stored. At the same time, they also destroyed the water diversion canals in the river, making it impossible for thousands of acres of nearby fields to irrigate!"
"Another army entered Caizi Lake from Changfengsha Town, Chizhou, and attacked Qianhu Treasures by the lake. It was suddenly attacked. Our army could not react. Dozens of people below Qianhu Hesar were killed, and nearly a hundred injured people were injured. The Southern Army plundered the gold and silver of Aolu Mansion and burned all the clothes and equipment that could not be taken away!"
"The Southern Army activities in Jiangzhou and Hukou are the most rampant. They destroyed the military camps and outposts along the river, and invaded the hinterland several times, attacked the Aolu General Administration Office in Wanhu, Tulidu, and burned all the supplies needed to prepare for the south. The casualties were extremely heavy..."
"Where is the raft and ship hidden in the thunder pool?" Before he could finish speaking, Boyan asked anxiously.
"The Leichi Water Village was broken, and the giant rafts built... were all destroyed, and even the stored wood was ignited!" Jin Rong looked at Boyan timidly and said.
"It's over, the little thief must have noticed it, so he took the initiative!" Boyan sighed, as if he had suddenly grown aged a lot. He had already discovered that the target of the Song army's attack was actually very clear, that is, the Aolu Mansion everywhere.
The Mongols first lived a nomadic life. When they went to war, they did not take their wives and wives to manage their luggage, clothes, money and supplies. Whenever they encountered war, adult men left women, young and old, guarded the tents and supplies, and their families and children were in the rear, or followed the army to engage in production, business herds and other industries, and supply them to the front. This kind of tent that stayed in the rear was called Aolu. Later, the family tents that stayed in the rear and lived in camps were called Aolu, and special officials were set up to manage them. This type of official was also called Aolu.
Therefore, the word Aolu refers to both the military clan and the government set up officials who specialize in managing the military clan left behind the front. After the Mongolian issued the Han army in the former Jin Dynasty area, it established a separate household registration for the Han military clan left in the original Jin Dynasty, and set up institutions and officials to manage the Han military clan. This kind of organization and official was also called Aolu. During the Western Expedition, Genghis Khan used the rear of the central army as the Great Aolu, and appointed his younger brother Temuge Ochijin to stay behind.
The Mongolian army and the Aolu of the Red Army of the Ma are under the military system, that is, the Aolu General Office under the ten thousand households is established, and the Aolu official is established, which is part of the Mongolian army and the Red Army of the Ma are responsible for managing the military affairs of the ten thousand households or thousands households. In contrast, the Han army is under the jurisdiction of the local administrative system, that is, the Han army is managed by a full-time official outside the ten thousand households, or the various civil officials are also managed. The chief and secondary officials of the northern roads, prefectures, prefectures, counties and counties all have the title of the Aolu. The main responsibilities are:
The military personnel are issued and replaced by the military. When the military personnel are initiated, they usually have to send people to escort. If the military personnel are over 50, the salary officer will be sent to escort; if the military personnel are less than 50, the competent officials will be sent to escort; if the military personnel are less than 50, the competent officials will be sent to escort; the military personnel's escort will be collected. The military personnel will be collected and brought back to the military base; and civil disputes involving military households will be handled by local officials and Aolu. Such incidents occur between military households and civilian households.
After the Mongolian destroyed the Jin Dynasty, after the soldiers of the Ma Chi had a fixed garrison, their families moved from the grassland pastoral areas to the Central Plains agricultural areas, gradually breaking away from the Mongolian headquarters, and gradually formed the Oru system with the characteristics of the Han area north of the Jianghuai River. All military households were under the jurisdiction of various Oru governments. Anyone who issued the issue, replaced the elderly and the weak, supplied military supplies, supported the elderly and the young, and handled civil disputes between the Oru governments, were directly managed by the Oru governments and were not under the jurisdiction of the local routes, prefectures, prefectures and counties.
At present, the Song army targeted Georu Prefecture, which was intended to destroy their logistics system, destroy the reserved materials, and weaken the endurance and motivation of the war. Therefore, once the war is in a stalemate, even if it is not long, it has to withdraw its troops...
Compared with the angry Boyan, Zhao Bing was very calm. After several days of continuous military meetings, the specific goals and combat policies of the harassment tactics were agreed upon. The generals then planned and organized their subordinate troops to carry out operations.
The first stage has now been fully launched. The main task at this stage is to pull out the water camps and outposts set up along the river of the enemy, first knocking them out of their eyes, and clearing obstacles for infiltration operations. At the same time, attack the enemy's garrison troops. Because the territory of the garrison is vast, it is often carried out with hundreds of households as the basic unit, and the garrison points are far apart. Moreover, the military households in the garrison are mostly elderly, weak women and children, and their combat effectiveness is low, which is the target of small troops attacking.
Moreover, these military households in the military farm are also responsible for providing supplies and manufacturing weapons. Striking them is equivalent to weakening their logistics support capabilities. They are fighting in front of them, but they are raided, houses are slaughtered, and wives and children are killed. How can they not be anxious? Therefore, it is also a heavy blow to the morale of the enemy.
After removing the enemy's peripheral stronghold, Zhao Bing immediately moved to the second stage of the battle. At this time, each unit penetrated into the enemy's territory and found out the enemy's mobilization and material hoarding situation to determine the enemy's combat direction and target. At this stage, Zhao Bing authorized the military supervisor in person to face the right to launch an attack without approval after discovering valuable targets. Friends can coordinate their cooperation in combat across jurisdictions, with the purpose of attacking the enemy and disrupting their combat plans.
Zhao Bing also emphasized that friendly forces enter their own jurisdiction due to combat, and should do their best to cooperate and assist. If there are injuries and illnesses, they should not refuse to provide any replenishment of materials. If they need to cooperate and fight, they should actively coordinate. If they find that they are in danger, they should send troops to rescue them in a timely manner. Those who are striving for merit, who are slow to act, negative attitude, and indifferent will be severely punished.
Through these two stages of combat, each unit achieved good results. More than 100 enemy strongholds were removed in total, and more than 3,000 enemies were wiped out; more than 200 miles of irrigation ditches, more than 100 dams were destroyed. More than 30 military farms were destroyed, more than 100 households were burned, tens of thousands of stones of food were burned, thousands of houses were burned, hundreds of enemy troops were killed and injured, and more than 200 plowing oxen were killed.
In addition, it attacked several enemy materials storage areas, and achieved great results. The enemy was also careless. They thought it was difficult to pass through the Yangtze River without realizing it. In order to facilitate transportation, the material transfer point was set on the docks by the river. The Song army assault team used small warships to carry rocket launchers to penetrate through tributaries and rivers, conduct long-distance bombardment, and quickly evacuated after success, achieving a good record.
Of course, for the important enemy targets, all units were willing to dispatch large troops to attack. In the battle of Leichi, Jiangzhou mobilized a division of infantry to fight in concert with the Yangtze River Navy. Under the guidance of the assault team, he forcibly broke through the enemy's obstacles on the river bank and entered the Leichi pool, destroying most of the ships hidden in the lake bay and the rafts built. The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and then calmly retreated to the south bank under the cover of artillery fire.
Zhao Bing looked through the battle reports from all over the place and achieved his goal in general. Although his side also suffered losses this time, the battle took place in the enemy-occupied area and had little impact on Jiangnan. Through a series of raids and reconnaissance operations, it not only disturbed the enemy's sight, but also caused certain material losses to it, making it difficult for him to judge the purpose of the Song army, but more importantly, it allowed Zhao Bing to understand the enemy's combat plan this time. This surprised him a lot. If the enemy was really on the upper, middle and lower reaches of the river, it would really catch him off guard and beyond his expectations.
First of all, Zhao Bing did not expect that the enemy would have the courage to launch a full-line attack when the navy was at a disadvantage and launched a crossing river battle at the same time. Moreover, the combat area of this battle was wide, making it difficult for the army of our side to help each other and could only fight on their own. Furthermore, the three enemy troops were mutually supportive, and as long as there was a breakthrough, they could detour eastward and westward, causing the entire defense line to shake. Fortunately, the situation has been determined now and targeted early measures can be taken to make up for the loopholes.
What made Zhao Bing feel gratified was that this new type of combat attempt gave him more means. This battle mostly uses small troops to attack specific targets through infiltration and raids, which is somewhat similar to special operations in modern warfare. But he thought it was just a similar one, because in this era, the foundation of special operations did not exist, and there was no such unit in the formation of troops. If so, only the operation team of the Bureau of Affairs could barely be considered.
There are many statements about ancient Chinese special forces on the Internet in my previous life, and even summarized the rankings of six special forces in ancient China, twelve special forces, etc. However, after Zhao Bing came to this era, he found that the facts were like the "Top Ten Famous Swords" rumored on the Internet, and most of them were unreliable. For example, the so-called Qin Iron Eagle Guards, the Tang Dynasty Mo Dao Camp, and the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry. The result was too large and far from historical records. There were also the Northern Mansion soldiers, Wei Wuzhang, etc. Although they were indeed elite, they all performed conventional military tasks and could not be considered special forces.
In ancient times and modern times, the combat effectiveness of each soldier is basically the same. The combat effectiveness of each soldier is often carried out on a large scale. Special forces are often small in scale and have no room for development. It is not easy to assassinate enemy generals. Think about the camp formed by more than 10,000 troops, which is more than ten miles in a radius. It is not easy to find the residence of the main general from it. The main general is often in the center. How can the layers of guards escape? The guards around him are not dead, and they are often elite troops. How can you let you be punished by the general who enters a deserted state?
Even if the guards and generals of the emperors of all dynasties, the orphans of the Yulin in the Han Dynasty, Gao Shun's camp, the Beiwei army of the Yue family army, and the three major camps of the Ming Dynasty, these troops may carry out special tasks such as going deep behind enemy lines, searching for escaped enemy important figures, and killing enemy generals when participating in the war. They can send a small number of elite forces to destroy and behead them like modern warfare.
But in ancient times, it was difficult to discover important targets in the rear without the assistance of aerospace reconnaissance. Even after discovering, weapons that can be destroyed are needed. Without advanced communication and contact means and precisely equipped long-range weapons, the success rate of such operations is very low, and it is far less than a siege through high-mobile troops.
