Chapter 229

The military corps of the Han Dynasty has always been as many people as they should be. At the beginning, there was no reputation. Liu Yan doesn't have such a concept. The second is to focus on actual data. How many people do anything, and even strictly divide all responsibilities.

There is nothing wrong with falsely claiming that it can boost morale, but it often deceives itself and inflates too much accidentally. There are many similar examples. The more famous one is Cao Cao in the battle of Chibi, and Fu Jian in the battle of Feishui.

There is another situation, which is not called a false number, but also includes auxiliary personnel such as civilian men. You should know that a soldier on the front line needs at least five people in the rear to serve him. Then tens of thousands of troops in the front directly participate in the war, and hundreds of thousands of people in the rear serve him. That's how hundreds of thousands of troops in Chinese civilization are calculated.

There is also a deformed algorithm. For example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were only thousands of troops who dared to fight and could fight, and the rest were basically defeated in a war; Those who dare and can fight are thousands of so-called old camps, and the rest are just kidnapped refugees. But the two sides are not the same. Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops are shouting.

"Twenty six thousand?" Deng Heng frowned: "is it like us, or...?"

Cui Xuan, with obvious confusion or confusion, said: "it is estimated that it is a real fighting force."

Deng Heng had to pay attention to it.

There are 26000 troops who can really participate in the war. Any general of the unified Army knows what it means. They clearly understand how difficult it is to deal with an enemy force with at least 10000 brave and able to fight, which is more difficult to deal with than the mixed organization of brave men and mobs!

Shijie Zhao army needs about four or five days to digest the war results, but the Han army is less than 150 miles away. Deng Heng, as a veteran, knows that this is the dangerous period. He consulted with Cui Xuan. Not eating the war results is equal to fighting in vain in the front war, so he can only command a group of troops to go to yaodaokou to be stationed first.

"In view of the fact that all the Han troops are soldiers, we will not lead useless soldiers to this war." Deng Heng calculated carefully for a long time: "lead 10000 to the main road first and become defensive with the help of the terrain."

"Villains will urge the reinforcements of Yuzhou and Sizhou." Cui Xuan actually couldn't understand Deng Heng's behavior. He couldn't help but advise: "ten thousand may be too little, don't bring more?"

In fact, Cui Xuan's official position does not need to call himself a "villain", but to understand the mentality of the general and the two devils, humility has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

"You... Don't understand." Deng Heng didn't intend to explain more. He said seriously, "this battle will not be simple. The reinforcements of other states and counties should be urged more."

Cui Xuan may think Deng Heng made a mountain out of a molehill, but this is the difference between being able to unify the army and not being able to unify the army.

Finally, Deng Heng set out with only 10000 people. In addition to the necessary cavalry, he took away the vast majority of infantry soldiers who thought they could fight, and only a few miscellaneous soldiers who served the logistics.

The reason why Taishan county has the word "mountain" is that Taishan county is really a mountainous terrain. Under this terrain, it is not the key to find a necessary way to defend it. If the enemy can detour in mountainous terrain, what else is there? Detour must be very difficult terrain.

Out of caution, Deng Heng did not divide the front, middle and rear armies, but just sent necessary scouts to investigate and serve as a warning in the front. However, the facts proved that caution was absolutely useful.

"The marching speed of the Han army is so fast!" Deng Heng looked at Yao Jing and asked, "how was their mountain war?"

Yao Jing's existence in Deng Heng's army is similar to that of Ke Qing. He has no real power and can only give some opinions. In addition, he plays the role of answering all questions. He replied, "there has been no mountain war with Liu Yan."

Therefore, Deng Heng knew that not all troops could adapt to all terrain. The scouts sent back the military information in front, saying that they found a Han army with a number of about 3000 approaching, and immediately began to choose how to fight in his mind.

"Stop the whole army!" Deng Heng roared loudly, and then issued an order: "the cavalry and baggage team retreat, and the infantry ambush in the mountains and forests on both sides!"

This is a valley surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the mountains in some places are concave terrain. There are many similar landforms in Taishan county. This valley road has become the main road only after it has been opened up for a long time. Other areas are only mountain trails, or simply need to climb mountains.

The war between the two armies always starts with the fight between scouts. It means that one party finds the other, and both sides will know that there are enemy forces around.

Ambush is a relative thing. It is a surprise, but it is not a real sneak attack. That's why it's called an ambush, not a sneak attack.

"Will they come?" Yao Jing was not completely inexperienced and said, "scouts have fought. There are all mountains here. They..."

"Shh!" Deng Heng doesn't know whether the Han army will come, but everything needs to be tried to have results. There is still a chance to try. What can be done if he doesn't do anything? He did not lower his voice: "wait quietly."

The sound of horses' hoofs came from the distance of the Valley Road. From a distance, there were several fast horses running ahead, and behind them were ten chasing horses.

The running and chasing sides shoot arrows back and forth when galloping, but the accuracy of archery is very worrying because the horse gallops too fast, resulting in too much turbulence.

Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes on the scene, it can be found that the Han army is chasing its scouts. Perhaps it is a coincidence, or the terrain limits the speed. Almost in a flash, six people were hit by arrows and fell off their horses at the same time. Several people who did not die at the first time were tripped by the reins and dragged by the horses, making a sad and miserable howl, which echoed loudly in the Valley Road.

"Stop!!!"

The Han Army scouts stopped their horses and scanned the Valley Road back and forth one by one. Their move made the ambush Shijie Zhao Jun subconsciously try to lower his body and hide in the grass.

From a distance, the Scouts of the Han army were discussing something. When everyone thought they wanted to continue to observe deeply, they turned their horses and galloped away.

Of course, Deng Heng looked at the scene just now. There was a fearful expression on his face and thought: "look at its micro and know the public. The scouts are so sharp. I don't think the soldiers of the Han Army are too bad."

It's normal that the Scouts of the Han Army didn't go deep. It may be out of military orders. The Valley Road has always been a military dangerous place. If it's not necessary, no one will go in and die foolishly.

"Cut off all the reconnaissance horses just withdrawn." Deng Heng didn't kill those people because of anything else. How could a reconnaissance horse run to his own headquarters when he fled? Didn't you let the enemy know the position of our main force? He thought for a while and then ordered, "look for a place to build a camp."

The difference between camp construction and camp construction is the difference in camp fortification. The camp will not only have wooden fences, fences, horse resistance and other fortifications, but also generally have earth walls, corridors and ditches. The two different ways of encampment are the distinction between the main general's attention to the enemy and the level of combat.

Yao Jing led soldiers, but when he looked around, he found that his former soldiers seemed to be a family?

It was a comprehensive understanding of the steps and methods of building the camp. Yao Jing built the camp on a flat terrain. Just the foundation of the fence and wooden fence, the same people spent two hours away from Deng Heng. And this does not include the gap in other barracks facilities. If all of them are included, how big is the gap?

Mountain Camp Building and flat camp building are not the same thing. As a result, Yao Jing found Deng Heng and asked, "the Scouts of the Han Army have appeared. We have enough time to build camp like this?"

Deng Heng immediately smiled and said, "in return, the leader of the Han army is only 3000, and most of the follow-up troops are cavalry."

Yao Jing said "Oh", that is, don't want to fight an ambush in the valley. What's more, the Han army won't go deep into the mountainous terrain.

It seems that Deng Heng was not eager, especially after he found that the Han army was difficult to deal with, he adopted a cautious attitude.

There will be 30000 troops in Yuzhou and 20000 troops in Sizhou, which will add up to 50000. These reinforcements are not a mob, which is fundamentally different from the mob temporarily put together by Yao Jing.

There are 50000 reinforcements from the two states, and Deng Heng's own is close to 20000, which is a real 70000 army. If you count the family soldiers and slave soldiers recruited locally, the total will definitely be close to 200000. If you claim to be able to shout 600000.

Is it in the defense's interest to drag on? Of course, but it depends on what the situation is.

Deng hengzhen was not worried at all. The state of Zhao in Shijie originally planned to go all the way to destroy the Han Dynasty. Even if it could not be destroyed, it would force the Han Dynasty to go to the sea. Don't let the Han Dynasty get in the way when the state of Zhao in Shijie conquered the small ~ court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

"So Liu Yan should be worried." Deng hengshuang said, "since you know that the rebels are not easy to deal with, you should make all kinds of preparations."

Is Liu Yan dispatching troops from overseas? Deng Heng is not so clear about the strength of the Han ministry overseas, but it has been less than four years since the rise of the Han ministry. Even if there are overseas territories, how much can it be adjusted?

"For now, we can consider whether Murong Xianbei will directly intervene, or transport troops from Eastern Liaoning or by sea." Deng Heng's standing height is different from Yao Jing's "little guy": "Yan Gong (Shi bin) led the army to stop in Youzhou. There are various vassal towns in the south to put pressure on the state of Jin. If there is no sea route, the Ministry of Han... Will just die."

Before, Deng Heng, like many people, thought that the Han Dynasty was just a disease of scabies, but after taking office, he didn't think so. It was clearly a serious problem!

In fact, the state of Zhao in Shijie has never taken seriously the forces that have actually formed a separatist regime, but Liu Yan has been different here after the war of Xiami. A Han people establishes a tribe called Hanbu, which also clearly shows their good strength. The first reaction of any Hu people is absolutely: extermination!
