Chapter 34 The End of the Battle of Tamulin Great Plains
On March 29, the Elantes troops continued their pursuit after defeating the logistics and heavy infantry. The cavalry dispersed around to capture the fleeing noble soldiers. The army continued to march, and after camping at night, it continued to pursue westward the next day.
On March 30, Captain Tablostra of the Tacojian Fortress followed Lin Fenghan's order to block the Haikou road, and flexibly attacked to disrupt the noble king's troops. Under Tablostra's obstruction, many noble troops Abandoning the bulky armaments, treasures and equipment, they dispersed through the Vico Mountains towards the vassal territory of Duke Brant in the west. Lin Fenghan continued to lead the pursuit, and on April 5, he cleared out most of the remnants of the nobles in the eastern half of the Vico Mountains.
On April 7, the battle that took place in the Satsenli Plain area to the north of the Tamulin Great Plains came to an end. With the attack of the Elant army based on the Thousands and Centuries, all the noble resistance forces and the king's forces came to an end. The powers in this land were wiped out one after another. After Lin Fenghan eliminated various opposition forces in the territory, he and many generals gathered at Takojian Fortress to discuss military affairs.
"Baron, our light cavalry conducted reconnaissance along the Vico Mountains and cover areas, and found that the villages and towns in the western area of ??Takojian Fortress were strictly guarded. Many nobles carried food and materials from subordinate towns into their castles. The big noble lords Spies are constantly sent into our area to investigate, and they station numerous troops at various key points in the Vico Mountains to strictly control our trade with the outside world, and at the same time block the routes for farmers fleeing to us."
Kelande said with a serious face: "A lot of the merchant spies we sent to lurk have also been arrested, and the light cavalry now dare not enter their territory. At several mountain passes in the Vico Mountains. The royal troops who retreated there The local noble army is working hard to dig tunnels and build fortress defenses. What should we do now."
"That's not bad!" Ramsay patted his thigh and said loudly: "Baron, we directly sent infantry to demolish their guardrails, checkpoints, and fortresses to pave the way for our future march."
"No!"
Corland quickly said: "Now that the spring grain harvest is coming, we can't send a lot of manpower to fight in the west. The material reserves in our area are not enough for our consumption. What's more, after these few months of fighting , our territory has expanded to nearly half a million square kilometers, and now we have more than ten cities, hundreds of towns, and nearly 10,000 villages. In these areas, we have not cultivated government personnel loyal to the Elantra government. The people's attitude towards our government is not very clear. Our political rule in the territory has not really been established, so in the next time we should quickly arrange officials in various cities, towns, villages, and agencies. Quickly Establish our rule well, cultivate various talents at the same time, continue to lay the foundation for our rule, and increase our rule in the small eastern half of the southern continent."
"Yes!"
Davout nodded calmly and said seriously: "Baron, after such a long and continuous campaign, our current army has reached nearly 50,000 people. Most of the officers in such an army have not received a complete military education. , only relying on a moment of courage, various talents, and opportunities to sit in the positions of centurion, commander of thousands, and commander of the infantry regiment. If one-tenth or a few people in an army are like this, then It will not affect the combat effectiveness, but when more than half of an army does not receive complete officer and soldier education, once the army is dispersed or does not have the command of outstanding officers, it will be completely defeated in future operations. In the past few days, You saw a lot of things in the report of the extermination of the noble remnants, right! Many of the injured and sacrificed were unnecessary, but in order to prove their courage, or under the command of a centurion who was stupid and didn't know tactics, our soldiers were brave and scattered. Charge forward, or charge forward in formation. Those centurions and battalion captains who can form formations to defeat the enemy have some brains, but they do not know that they can use political means to conquer the enemy without attrition or with lower sacrifices. This is far from the It is more effective than sacrificing soldiers to defeat the enemy."
"yes!"
Rana then spoke: "As an officer general, they not only have to learn tactics and understand the use of various arms, but also learn political science, psychology, engineering and other comprehensive academics. Most of the officers in our army today are illiterate. , they not only don¡¯t understand political science, they don¡¯t even understand basic military tactics. Today, most of the grassroots officers such as centurions, squadron leaders, and squad leaders in our army have very few qualities except physical courage. Other military academics, this is a very dangerous thing, we urgently need military training for our current army officers and soldiers. Especially those noble knights and retainers we most include, and the militia in their territories, we need to start from scratchBegin to cultivate their loyalty, cultivate their military fighting habits, and cultivate their discipline and fighting ability. "
"Um!"
Ma Youden also frowned and said: "Baron, neither the army nor the local governments, including our logistics materials, allow us to continue the war, so now we must stop using troops and stop and develop with peace of mind. But we also We cannot allow them to block the farmers in the west at will, and we cannot allow them to build fortresses on the natural border of the Vico Mountains, otherwise we will definitely face major trouble when marching westward in the future."
"So I suggest that we take the phalanx infantry corps with the Tacojan fortress as the base, rush into the opposite territory along the coast, attack and expel the soldiers who built the fortress, and we have our own pass on the coast of the Vico Mountains, above the mountains Fortresses were built in the center and western borders of several easy-to-travel roads, and some soldiers were stationed to control the passes and control access."
"good!"
"That makes sense!"
Keland glanced at Ma Youden appreciatively, stretched out his thumb and said: "This is a good idea. As long as we send more than 300 soldiers to build fortresses, guard the roads, expel the enemy, support according to the situation, and transport supplies, then It¡¯s really good to not only master the checkpoints, but also gain the initiative in the war, and be able to obtain all kinds of information about the west at any time, which will create favorable conditions for entering the western region in the future.¡±
"Um!"
Lin Fenghan glanced at Ma Youden with a smile, nodded with a smile and said: "In that case, then we will follow Ma Youden's method. We will take three or four squadrons of infantry from each infantry regiment to form a mixed battalion. The mixed group will build fortifications, control the border, and create good conditions for our future march."
