Twelve million guan is almost half of the annual tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty, and such a large amount of money in the early years of Zhenguan is not said to be taken out, and the merchants have done it, but the biggest news in Chang'an is indeed not about the Cangzhou shipyard, but the imperial court's decision to send troops to the Eastern Turks.
Yuan Shan just Qianyu Cangzhou project has not had time to be implemented by Du Ruhui to the Ministry of War, at this time the situation is very urgent, Yuan Shan is not good to slack, can only get up early and take a carriage to pass, Chang'an City Gate opened he entered the city, but unexpectedly, the personnel of the Ministry of War have all gathered together, only he, a person who lives outside the city, came the latest.
Yuan Shan didn't understand the situation yet, and suddenly said that he was going to fight, but he hadn't gotten used to it, and after he arrived, he asked, "Du Shangshu, what the hell is going on." ” Du Ruhui knew that Yuan Shan didn't know the situation, but he was still very optimistic about Yuan Shan's military talent, after all, the person who could train the "Ghost Hunting Horse" was only Yuan Shan.
"Here's the thing, the Acting Governor of Prefecture, Zhang Gongjin, sent a large army to conquer the Turks under the pretext that Jieli Khan had formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty and aided the rebel Liang Shidu, and His Majesty felt that the time was ripe so he decided to send 100,000 troops to attack the Eastern Turks."
Du Ruhui said.
"Send 100,000 troops, Du Shangshu, I haven't been on the battlefield to call me for what to do."
Yuan Shan was a little panicked in his heart, he really didn't understand this war, he couldn't rely on his cleverness to defeat the enemy, the danger on the battlefield was not to say that there was blood and everyone to protect him, and he was not a military general, and it was okay to ask him to study some weapons and equipment, and it was absolutely impossible to go to the battlefield.
"I've always heard that you have military talent, so stay during this time and don't give advice to the Tang Dynasty soldiers."
Du Ruhui said.
"Since that's the case, I'll immediately call someone back to inform me, and by the way, I'll also get some daily necessities."
Yuan Shan said.
"You don't have to worry about these little things, I have already notified someone to go to your village to inform you."
Du Ruhui said.
"The war ahead may break out at any time, so you might as well study countermeasures with the old man."
Du Ruhui said.
There is also a large room in the house of the military department, and after Yuan Shan came in, he saw a super large sand table placed in the middle of the house, and the sand table was already surrounded by people, and some people were talking and some people were recording.
Such a large sand table could not be made in a few days, and from this matter, you could know that this battle had been prepared for a long time, and I heard a familiar voice shouting on the side, as if he had been on the battlefield in person.
"General Cheng is also here."
Won-sun asked casually.
"By the way, Du Shangshu, you haven't told me which general is the commander-in-chief."
Yuan Shan said.
"This time, Li Jing of the Eastern Turks was the head of the march, and Zhang Gongjin was the deputy head of the army.
Li Ji, the governor of Bingzhou, was the head of the march of Tonghan Road, the governor of Huazhou, Shi Chai Shao, was the head of the march of Jinhe Road, and Xue Wanche, the governor of Lingzhou, was the head of the march of Changwu Road.
Du Ruhui said.
As soon as I heard it, it was a ruthless person, and Yuan Shan didn't worry about it, although Yuan Shan didn't know much about the detailed history of the Tang Dynasty, but he generally knew that the imperial court not only destroyed the Eastern Turks, but also wiped out the Turks.
It's just that he didn't have the mood to study these things, what to do with him if there were these ruthless people, so the plan to mess around began.
"There is also the vanguard of His Majesty's Northern Ya Forbidden Army, the vanguard officer is Wei Chi Jingde, and the adjutants are Wei Dayou and Huo Da."
Du Ruhui said.
Originally planned to mix here until the end of the war, he heard that his student served as the commander, and he still took the lead, now he couldn't sit still, the training of the Beiya Forbidden Army has his credit, and the situation of this army is probably only he knows better, compared to the cold weapon against this team, it is a half-hung artillery, it can be said that it is a firearms battalion, which will suffer if it is directly in conflict with the enemy.
Yuan Shan's worries were immediately seen by Du Ruhui, how could they not see the change in strength, and comforted: "What we can do now is to do a good job in logistics and summarize the collected information for reference in the battle ahead." ” "It's only enough to have a sand table, so Du Shangshu should bring me a few more detailed maps."
Yuan Shan said.
I don't know who came up with the idea of using the Northern Ya Army as the vanguard, they don't understand that artillery is not used like this, the Northern Ya Army is much less than the regular government soldiers, and it is easy to be surrounded if they are alone, even if they are good at warfare, but they are actually a cavalry infantry of several thousand people when they lose their firearms.
"If you want to believe the assembly and subordination of the Northern Ya Army, tell me about it."
Yuan Shan said seriously.
Du Ruhui immediately asked someone to bring over the accounts of the equipment distribution of the Northern Ya Army, these are the equipment distribution list, Yuan Shanjian did not worry about it, although he was a pioneer, but the heavy artillery and all kinds of grenades and ammunition were not so easy to transport, looking at the two hundred carriages equipped with almost all of them were used to transport these things, so that a team could not go much faster than the baggage troops.
"Du Shangshu, my suggestion is to immediately terminate the Northern Ya Army as the vanguard and adopt a covert combat mode, preferably relying on a large army to fight."
Yuan Shan said.
With such a powerful firearms support, wouldn't it be better to fight the vanguard, and follow the large army all the way to crush it.
What's more, the Northern Ya Army carried too many grenades, and except for Li Jing's troops, which were equipped with 10,000 grenades, the other troops did not have this thing at all, and most of the firearms were concentrated on the side of the Northern Ya Army.
If this continues, let alone fight, I am afraid that this army will be dragged down by these firearms in the end, which may also be the reason why they are used to cold weapon combat, plus the reason why grenades lack actual combat, so they are not taken seriously.
Just when Yuan Shan was thinking about things, Cheng Zhijie said in front of the sand table: "My Tang soldiers are the best at charging into battle, if they can fight the Turks by surprise, they will be able to control the overall situation." ” For what Cheng Zhijie said Yuan Shan didn't care about, he saw that many of the onlookers in the sand table were the generals who didn't have the opportunity to lead the troops this time, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde were all listed, Yuan Shan didn't go over but asked Du Ruhui to provide him with information on the equipment and equipment of each unit, he wanted to quickly understand the situation of the troops, and it was the fastest way to read the account book.
The records of the military department were counted at the end, and Yuan Shan carefully read them all, and also recorded them, knowing the situation of troops, personnel and equipment, and more importantly, their current marching route and the destination they were about to reach.
Cold weapon combat is nothing more than what kind of send, like the Tang Dynasty, which likes to form a confrontation in the way Yuan Shan is disdainful, in the Turks, the most important thing is to use the way of siege, and it is necessary to surprise, because most of the tribes live in the plains, and the most important thing to defeat the enemy is not to let them escape easily.
