Chapter 74: Clean War
"From the vestibular to try to Anxi, bone strength, use this to make an encircled combat style, and then look at the Turkic Kyoto! The Jurchens are quite good!" Zhang Cheng said the latest information and discussed with his subordinates what to do next.
On the one hand, this is a strategy planned by the Jurchens' wise men. On the other hand, this is also an objective need for a team to grow stronger. They need to establish a stronghold and a base. Even if no one plans, Zhang Cheng can't think of how to fight now.
Zhang Cheng knew that the Jurchens had become a confidant of the court. However, in terms of financial resources and military aspects, the Great Zhou Dynasty could not beat others in terms of marching characteristics of the Jurchens.
The Turkish strategy also changes at any time due to time and place. When the Jurchen power is weak, the Turks cannot find the soldiers and generals and cannot block the Jurchens' way out. If the soldiers of the two countries unite, you can give it a try!
The Jurchens were originally a nation under the Turks. However, as the Jurchens became stronger, the wolf had become a tiger. The Turkic court neither could nor did it have time to gather the elite troops and financial resources of the whole country to fight against the Jurchens, which gave them the opportunity to camp and build a base. Now it has formed an encirclement for them.
They had no other way except to fight against the counter-encirclement and cooperate with the Zhou soldiers. After some discussion, this was decided by everyone! But in this way, the Turkic people would suffer. Zhang Cheng had no time to care about other people's lives and deaths. He just wanted to win this war beautifully!
Zhang Cheng could not tell the Turks such a cruel decision. It is inevitable that the places where they were infringed would be resentful and even the people's minds would change. This would not be of any benefit to the Turks! After all, the Jurchens did not massacre the Turks' people when they came.
However, there is no way to do this. Standing high and looking far away, sometimes, looking at the overall situation, the painstaking efforts of overall decisions may not be understood by the local area. The surrounding cities of the Turks will become purgatory on earth!
Zhang Cheng said: "At present, the Jurchens are heading west to Beiting. According to information, they have 100,000 people, but according to my general's opinion, they must not have so many! At this time, they should attack the Turkic capital together! Let's fight 100,000 people first! Then we will clear the Turkic siege!"
After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, there was no basis at all! It was just a mess! Some advisers have begun to doubt how Zhang Cheng got to where he is today?
Zhang Cheng didn't feel that he had accomplished nothing. His eyes became sharp and he said solemnly: "In other words, the siege of the Turks and the difficulties of Beiting, they have no external force to rely on, they have to rely entirely on themselves. You are the external force brought by me, let's advance and retreat together!"
The generals were stunned for the first time, then stood up one after another, expressing their loyalty with enthusiasm. Zhang Cheng smiled faintly and raised his hand to comfort him: "Please sit down, you generals, there is nothing scary about the Jurchens. Although they are fierce, we are not vegetarians, so we may not be able to beat them. Do you think so?"
Zhang Cheng was not sure, so he could only comfort himself. Now he began to feel that marching and fighting was not fun at all, he was trying his life!
However, if you raise troops for a thousand days, you will use troops for a while. The Great Zhou Dynasty has not seen any blood since its establishment, but it is just that they don’t know how powerful they are.
Then Zhang Cheng stood up sternly and said, "I have finished talking about the current situation. I wonder if you have any opinions?"
"The lower officials think that the marshal cannot be so hasty, so they should discuss it again! Fighting with the Jurchens is a big deal!"
"No matter how much you discuss it? Let you say you don't say it, but you won't accept it after I said it." Zhang Cheng couldn't help but feel angry. Who are these people!
Suddenly, a man broke in outside the tent and said loudly: "The Jurchens and the Turks have always had one thing in common, that is, they are fierce and cunning in combat. The troops are divided and merged in time, and they are wandering. They have no place to live. If they can fight, they will fight, and if they cannot, they will avoid them. Therefore, they cannot hit the key points, and use a thunder strike and a drum to get a balance. If you have to make a difference between the two, it is that the Jurchens used this point more vividly than the Turks!
Moreover, all the supplies of the Jurchens were plundered, and most of the troops were rioters. Once the imperial army surrounded and suppressed them, they could abandon all their supplies, war horses, and even small troops without hesitation, and then escape and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback. They were like jackals and wild dogs, unable to chase them, and difficult to avoid them.
For the army like lightning, the Turks' combat power is not weaker than them, but fighting with them is very difficult. Therefore, we need to raise food and grass and serve as bait, and we need to find the main force of the Jurchens and work hard to fight them! Everyone knows the story of surrounding the points and fighting aid. We also need to protect every Turkish city and transportation route. We need time and energy to plan and coordinate! Destruction is always easier than construction!
In addition, hundreds of thousands of troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty had to guard the border and defend the city. Moreover, due to the high cost of the mainland officers and soldiers, they rarely had complete cavalry teams. Even if there were cavalry, they were mainly composed of infantry and cavalry, which was destined to be my leader."
"What are you doing?" Zhang Cheng looked at the man inexplicably, and saw that the man had beautiful eyebrows and tall figure. He showed a heroic spirit between his eyebrows. He was wearing a red robe. His eyes were quiet and deep. Not only did he not have a smile, but he didn't even have the right emotions such as anger, sadness, dissatisfaction, and dissatisfaction. His eyes were as calm as abyss, condescending, like a god looking down at the ridiculous beings who were rushing to camp.
"Master Zhang! This can only be fought in this battle! Otherwise, I will not be able to defeat the Jurchens!" The man realized that he was a little rude.
"Lian Zhan! Get out of here! Who asked you to come in? If you talk nonsense and disturb the morale of the army, I will deal with your military law!" Zhang Cheng naturally would not adopt Lian Zhan's proposal. In this way, wouldn't he admit that he was not as good as him? Zhang Cheng didn't want to admit this, "Get out of here! Did you hear that?" Seeing Lian Zhan standing there stupidly, he couldn't help but angrily,
"Marcenary think twice! Only in this way can we fight, and only by doing this will our army have a chance. The last general is willing to serve as bait!" Lian Zhan said solemnly,
"Here are you here! Drive Lian Zhan out!" Zhang Cheng roared angrily. Even if Lian Zhan was right, he would not accept his suggestion.
Two followers came to drive away Lian Zhan. Lian Zhan struggled to break free and said sternly: "Pover the army first when fighting! Some of our army has low combat power, poor military discipline, and even compete with bandits and robbers to harm the people! We must first rectify the army!"
"Where are you sleepwalking?" Zhang Cheng couldn't help but have a headache. This is really a pot of war. As for the military discipline, it was entirely because of Marshal Zhang. Marshal Zhang used to lead troops to fight, so he was not strict with his subordinates and allowed them to rob the people.
