Elbata's team was targeted by the Han cavalry, and they were repeatedly entangled and wasted a lot of time, and they had to make a detour to get rid of the entanglement and be hung behind their tails, and when they reached the third line of defense, the garrisons on the defense line had almost fled.
The defense line that was built with great effort and material resources, and the enemy's large army was still far away, but the defenders on the defense line ran away first, which is actually a common occurrence in history.
No matter how strong the defense line is, it needs brave people to be stationed in order to play the role of a defense line, otherwise it is actually a dead thing.
After finding that the defenders on the defense line had basically escaped, he originally wanted to set fire to it, but the problem was that the Han cavalry that was holding on to it came again, so he glanced at the defense line with tears in his eyes, and once again embarked on a fleeing journey.
The defense line and camp built by the anti-Han axis coalition forces with great time and painstaking construction became the base of the new master after the arrival of the Han army.
"This is already in the territory of Hunit, far from the main station of the Protectorate, but it can be used as a material reserve base."
Li Kuang had already made an inspection and found that the camp was actually quite well constructed, but the built city wall faced the east, and the west side still needed to be filled with the necessary city wall: "In fact, the city can be built on the basis of the camp." ” After crossing the Penchi River, the Han Empire had only a few small fortresses, forts and beacons on this side, and there were no other large permanent fortifications.
The eastern part of the Hunnites was entirely nomadic tribes, and to the east there was not even a single fixed settlement.
The Han Empire was in great need of an advance base in the territory of the Hunite, and it was originally necessary to build it from scratch and get a camp with a foundation, so it was naturally more time-saving and labor-saving to strengthen it on this basis.
"Naturally, you can."
Song Ping thought for a moment and continued: "It's just that it needs to be overhauled. ” There are some risks associated with using an enemy camp as a base for advancement, including the fact that the camp was built by the enemy, and the enemy must have mastered the weakness of the camp.
It is not even ruled out that there are more dangerous hidden dangers, such as whether it is possible that the enemy army has dug tunnels.
Once there is a tunnel, the enemy will definitely use the tunnel when it counterattacks.
Li Kuang didn't ignore those risks, nodded to Song Ping and said, "I'll leave it to Changshi." ” Once this camp really has a backhand left by the anti-Han axis coalition forces, they are definitely unwilling to use it for some petty fights, and they will use it as a killer weapon.
That is just a necessary safeguard measure, in fact, as long as the Han army maintains the posture of advancing forward and pushes the battle line all the way to the west, there are some cats in this camp, and the enemy army can only be used to the extreme when the enemy army is pressed close by a large number of soldiers.
They "received" the camp that the anti-Han Axis coalition had built with great difficulty, and the war reached such a situation, which was tantamount to the destruction of the anti-Han Axis coalition's attempt to attack the Anxi Protectorate.
The main force of the anti-Han axis coalition collapsed, but the anti-Han axis coalition in the region had more than one force, and there were more or less other anti-Han axis coalition forces around the main battlefield.
Li Kuang is faced with two choices next.
The first is to continue to advance westward with the main force, and how far can be fartened, forcing the anti-Han axis to organize a large army to come over again to block it, and keep the initiative in the battle in his hands.
Another option is to hold the battle line in the current position, break up the troops in your hands and attack the enemy forces that you have not had time to deal with before, so as to maximize the results of this engagement.
"I think it's the best choice to expand the results."
Song Ping gave his opinion: "Our troops are too small, and the longer the battle line is stretched, the greater the danger." ” It was because of this that Li Kuang hesitated.
Regardless of the fact that they seemed to defeat the enemy's main force easily, it was actually just an unbalanced manifestation of the use of firearms, and the enemy's army collapsed so easily mostly because of the shock of firearms.
If there was no normal war with firearms, the Han army would not be able to directly shake the wall fortifications built by the enemy army as if they had firearms, and a detour attack would be the right choice.
Under the attack of the Han army, the enemy's city wall fortifications did not even hold up the first wave of offensive, which led to the psychological collapse of the anti-Han axis coalition army, and the battle situation is what it is now.
The morale of the two armies is the first priority, and paying attention to taking the lead is to hit the morale of the other side, and how great the effect of the first wave of attacks is, how much will the morale of the two sides change.
Now the morale of the anti-Han axis coalition is completely collapsed, falling to the point where there is almost no lower limit, but in fact, this is only temporary and full of uncertainty.
"It's fine."
Li Kuang accepted Song Ping's opinion and told the reason why Song Ping didn't say it: "It's really not advisable to force it too hard, forcing them to feel that they have no way to live and have to work hard." ” Song Ping's response was to smile.
Mainly because of the insufficient number of Han troops involved in the war, there were only 23,000 regular troops, and they were divided into seven parts.
Li Kuang gathered 14,000 regular troops into sharp knives, but just such a small number of troops was completely insufficient, and if he continued to advance westward, the more he went west, the more he could predict that the enemy's desperate determination would increase, and at the same time, the enemy army had always been in a numerical advantage, and if they really wanted to form a situation of a lone army going deep, they did not have to worry about the lack of food, but the ammunition supply of the firearms troops would become a big problem.
Song Ping needed to do a lot of things next, including the verification and recording of military exploits, the reconstruction of camps, the replenishment of logistics and military supplies, and the diplomatic relations between various small countries and small tribes.
The chief of the Han Empire was a big housekeeper, basically helping the master to do chores.
If this commander of the army is stronger in terms of strategy, the chores will be handed over to the army to praise the painting.
Song Ping knows very well that what he is good at is not strategy, but the handling and coordination of miscellaneous matters.
The point is that there really is no master of strategy in the Han Empire, mainly related to the combat style of the Han army, the Han army usually fights the enemy army in a face-to-face manner, and the long-term habit is formed, and the Han army is gradually turning the habit into rigidity.
When an army wins the same way over and over again, they become convinced that that style of play suits them, and as a result, their fighting style is fixed.
If such a unit is suddenly incorporated into the command of a commander of a different style, and the style of combat suddenly changes, only the truly excellent generals can give full play to their combat effectiveness, otherwise it will usually reduce the combat effectiveness of such a unit, or even be annihilated.
The reason is very simple, an army that can fight very well in a head-on battle is really not so suitable if it is broken up and transferred to the rear of the enemy army to fight guerrillas Next, the group of Han troops in the Anxi Protectorate, they left 6,000 regular troops and 15,000 county soldiers, and the rest were split out to join their own troops that came up from behind, and began to clean up the enemy forces that remained behind the battle line.
Liu Shen's unit, which had only rested for a short night, was at the time of overhauling the flintlock pistol when they received the order to dismantle.
"Fifty or sixty rounds from the barrel have been worn out, and there is no accuracy anymore."
Ji Hai was wiping the body of the gun, muttering a little: "We didn't just fire fifty or sixty rounds, but hundreds of rounds." ” The 12-type flintlock pistol currently used by the Han army, after it was fired more than 130 times, the barrel was in danger of cracking at any time, and in fact, after a large battle, it was time to replace the barrel.
Naturally, firearms units have replacement barrels to carry, and there will inevitably be flintlock pistols in stock.
However, flintlock pistols used as a reserve are only used in an emergency, and the barrel is usually replaced.
As riflemen, they must have training on changing the barrel, at least master the technology of replacing the barrel, but compared with professional maintenance logistics soldiers, the speed and perfection will definitely be much worse.

Liu Shen was doing the job of replacing the barrel of the gun, not his own firearms, but to help the soldiers under his command.
He frowned when he heard Ji Hai's complaint, if it weren't for Ji Hai's non-stop while complaining, he would have scolded him.
As a "second generation", Ji Hai is too out-of-the-box in some aspects of behavior, he is a qualified soldier, but he is not a soldier who will be liked by officers.
He himself knows this, but he really has no prospects for the development of the army, and he will not do troublesome things, but he has no intention of changing the fragmented thoughts of that mouth.
"Hurry up" Liu Shen looked around and shouted to a busy robe: "We only have half an hour. ” After they came down from the battlefield, they were ordered to rest, mainly to recover as soon as possible, and to prepare for the possibility of going to war again.
The order to open again was given at nine o'clock in the morning, and the departure time was half past one after lunch.
"This one can't be repaired, register it" Liu Shen put the flintlock pistol in his hand on the table that belonged to the one to be repaired, and said to the soldier standing next to him: "Go find the quartermaster and get a new one." ” I don't know how this soldier used the firearm, but the front end of the barrel was obviously bent.
This kind of damage is not something they can repair now, and they have to send it to the logistics department.
"Tun Chief, I" Zhao Xiu said worriedly: "When I stabbed at the enemy soldiers, I didn't find that the bayonet fell off, so I did" After repeated shots, the metal will definitely soften, and then stab the ground hard, and the force of the impact will bend the barrel.
Similar situations have not happened rarely, although Liu Shen is helpless, it is difficult to ask for anything, people really can't pay attention to too many details when they are desperate, what is in their hands is what they use, and they also know that it is very good to poke out a bayonet according to training.
Ten minutes before the deadline for purchasing, Liu Shen gave up on the flintlock pistol, which was difficult to maintain, and reported it directly to the quartermaster department.
Their battalion did not lose its strength during the battle, and the number of people who came here is still as many as there are now, but the number of guns that need to be replaced has reached 37.
"So much" Qin Song saw the data handed over by Liu Shen, frowned and looked at Liu Shen, first asked, and then nodded: "Yes." ” Liu Shen turned around and left in shame.
He knew just now that he didn't need to use the most guns in his arsenal, but they weren't the most fierce in the battle.
The other tun, which has always been at the forefront of the battle line, needs to use and store only 46 guns, and it is basically because the barrel is scrapped because of the fire, but it is not some mistakes by the soldiers that cause the guns to be scrapped.
"This Highness of ours has done a good job."
Zhao Ping smiled and stamped on the data sheet: "As a nobleman on the battlefield, he can follow orders and command the troops to exert effective combat effectiveness."
Qin Song glanced at Zhao Ping, knowing that if he changed Zhao Ping, he would have a different face, and even he had to reprimand him just now, but this was the reality.
They will definitely have some special care for Liu Shen, so it is impossible to really ignore Liu Shen's identity.
If you really ignore Liu Shen's special identity, it will be really stupid.
Of course, even if they take care of Liu Shen, they usually don't do it too obviously, not because they care about other people in the army, but because they don't want to hurt Liu Shen's self-esteem.
Liu Shen, who returned to the army, had a helpless and depressed expression on his face.
Of course, he knew that he was being given special care, and he was really ashamed that he did not take special care as something to be proud of.
"Tun Chief" Xu Guang saw what Liu Shen's mood was, and said: "It will be developed soon, and we must concentrate on the management of the troops." ” Liu Shen was still too young to hide some things, so he told Xu Guang what he thought.
"Your Highness is a nobleman after all" Xu Guang changed his title and said bluntly: "As a nobleman who went to the battlefield, not as a supervising army, let alone staying in the absolutely safe rear, His Highness is the only one."
It's a little imperfect, but this is the truth, if everything is perfect, Your Highness should be disappointed."
Liu Shen thought about it, and it was also the truth, if everything was perfect, wouldn't it mean that everything was deliberately arranged, and when he went to the army, it would become a big joke, and this life journey would not become a good story, but would become a "political achievement project" that would be ridiculed by future generations.
"I'm probably going to have to take part in this one."
Liu Shen is young, but some of the things that should be understood will be understood: "My mother knows that I am going to the battlefield, and I will definitely cry and beg my father."
Even the ministers will ask their fathers for advice.
When the time comes."
Xu Guang's eyes were confused for a moment, he didn't know what the Son of Heaven would think, and he couldn't even guess what the Son of Heaven would do, but that would definitely not be a good thing for Liu Shen.
"Chief."
Xu Guang changed his title again and said extremely seriously: "Once Your Majesty asks you if you want to go back, you should probably choose to stay and at least participate in this war throughout the whole process." ” They were sent over by their respective fathers, and the best way to establish a friendship with Liu Shen is that they can't even be familiar, and with the resume of being a soldier under Liu Shen, the help they will get in the future is definitely not small.
Of course, Xu Guang could not guarantee that Liu Shen would not be in danger on the battlefield, and it was selfish to suggest that Liu Shen stay, but he really hoped that Liu Shen would have more experience, so that after he could ascend to the throne, he would have a deeper and more practical understanding of the war
