The Light, The Sword

Chapter 22: Camp

Views:

In Lin'an City, Yue Fei couldn't help but frown as he looked at the diaries that were constantly being sent from all over the world.

Letting him deal with these various chores in front of him is more headache than letting him face an army of hundreds of thousands of gold men.

He also proclaimed Hubei and was in charge of military and civil affairs along the way, but at that time everything focused on expelling the golden soldiers. For civil affairs, only to ensure the supply of food and wages, he did not intervene in the specific government affairs of various places.

What's more, at that time, he was in Hubei, where officials from all over the country ordered and banned them, and he never dared to bargain with himself.

However, Fang Jin's court is different.

The situation of the whole country is extremely complicated and affects the whole body.

And above the Great Song Dynasty Hall, there are literati holding important official positions everywhere, regardless of whether they are related to Qin Hui or not, but in dealing with Lin'an, who is a warrior, his attitude of rejection is the same. .

For example, the few memorials in hand now show that officials from all over the world are arguing with each other in arranging military rations. Even if the Privy Council presses them again, it will be of no avail.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been continuous battles with the Northern Liao Dynasty, Xixia and the Jin Kingdom today. The military situation is like fire, and there is no room for half a moment to delay. It is based on the principle of mobilizing rations and mobilizing nearby. The central government only It plays a role of mastering regulation.

So Zhao Kuangyin didn't need to worry about Yue Fei.

This emperor’s official’s imperial conquest, officials in nearby counties, even if they sell their children and daughters, dare not be short of a half-grain ration in the direction of Shunchang Road.

However, it is not the only army that is in contact with the Jinren.

Now the local officials in the counties near Hongxianguan Pass have actually started the idea of mobilizing their own military rations to aid Shunchang, in order to flatter the emperor's official family.

The most outrageous thing is that the group of scholars in the Privy Council in the courtroom also contributed to such opinions.

Even though the military rations on Shunchang Road were already full, they felt that they were left there and wasted. It was a matter of course for Han Shizhong, who needed these rations more than it was transported to Hongxian Guan.

That's right, the emperor is the elder of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the dragon among the people, no matter what you do, you should first ensure that the emperor is where he is, where he is rich in food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

Yue Fei couldn't refute this.

But Yue Fei knew deeply that the battle was not fought like this.

The two armies of the golden man, divided into the flanking attack, became horns.

If Han Shizhong's ministry were to lose, even if the emperor official achieved a brilliant record on Shunchang Road, it would be difficult to save the overall situation.

While the armed forces did not move, the food and grass went first.

Although he has deep confidence in Han Shizhong's leadership ability, he also fully understands that if the supply of military rations at the Hongxian Pass cannot be guaranteed, even if Han Shizhong's tribe is brave, it will eventually be irresistible.

What's more, the officials of the military equipment supervision also learned the way of rations, and they wished to transport all the weapons, weapons, and offensive and defensive equipment in the military equipment supervision to Shunchang Road.

Looking at the complicated numbers on the report, Yue Fei couldn't help but sighed bitterly.

Although he clearly knew that these people favored one another and did not favor the other, it was nothing more than flattery, but the reasons listed by these people made it difficult for him to refute it.

In their memorial report, they even detailed the annual grain output and cashiers in the treasury, and concluded that they did not try their best, but when they were really unable to guarantee the escort of the two routes at the same time, they could only ship to Shun Chang Lu.

The same is true when the military monitor sends up the melodrama.

He is different from those civil servants. In the past few years, he was riding his horse and galloping on the north bank of the river, so knowing the numbers on the memorial table is not completely unfounded.

The roads in Henan and Shuzhong were originally rich and prosperous grain and rice towns, but since the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties, these grain production places have been bordered by the Jin people and have been conquered for years. The people have been displaced, the fields have been abandoned, and the official food has been lost. It is not enough to cope with the needs of two roads at the same time, this is the truth.

And the people's food storage is even more tied to the life of a farmer's family. Da Song originally divided the world into the fifth class of farmers, but since the battle between Song and Jin, almost all of the families above Jiangbei Zhongjia have been destroyed.

Over the past seven years, since all the armies of the emperor have been called back by the current emperor's official order, today's emperor's official and Qin Hui's intention to make peace is known to the world. Soldiers on the front line were even more restrained from lightly starting the battle with the Jinmen, so the Jin soldiers were even more unscrupulous. They often went south and looted the people, which added to the burden on the people of the north of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, farmers in the Jiangbei area nowadays are small households who live on the little harvest in Tianzhong every year. If you want to collect food from the people for military use, if you can't use enough silver to buy it, it's tantamount to torture the disabled and drive the people to the fire.

On the military equipment supervisor’s submission, the cost of the various weapons listed is also very worthwhile.

The richness of the Song Dynasty was originally the best in ancient and modern times, but at this time the amount of silver deposited by the Sansifu treasury was so small that he was very surprised.

He knew that there must be a ghost in this, but he was not a professional at all, and for a while it was really difficult to see what was famous in the thick pile of books.

Qin Hui has been in the country for more than ten years, and he has been a military commander. If he is careless, I am afraid that he will inevitably end up with Di Qing, let alone rectify it. When the state is urgent, he still ignores this part of investigation and punishment. Literati who are involved in making troubles in the overall situation.

Since the founding of the country, the system of literati and military commanders has been hostile to each other for more than a hundred years. So the most important thing I should do is to try my best to bridge this gap, and not to make half-hearted moves.

The court of the Song Dynasty can no longer withstand half a minute of internal friction.

What's more, the military situation is urgent and is in full swing. The most urgent thing at the moment must be to raise money and broadly adjust military rations.

But where does the money come from

He looked up to the sky and let out a sigh of relief.

A penny is hard to die a hero.

Let him march and deploy, he can strategize, ten swings and ten finals. However, if he wanted to find a way to raise money and food, and to transfer materials, he really felt quite helpless.

He pondered for a long while, personally wrote a grain reminder, and raised his voice to call the general, so that he was immediately sent to the army transfer envoy.

Although he knew that this might not have much effect, he still had to do his best.

A domestic servant came in and reported: "Marshal, Master, I want to see you!"

Yue Fei lifted up his spirits, and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up!"

I am afraid that only this Bao Daren is the only one who can help me discuss things and come up with ideas in Beijing.

He raised his head and looked at the dark clouds that gradually blocked the sun outside, with a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.

Looking at the weather, I am afraid there will be a big thunderstorm tonight.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the ministers have been doing everything in their entire life, which is considered to be an exhaustive plan, but this time, you just ruined it.

……

Pingchi Daluhua raised her head and squinted her eyes as she stared at the unprovoked dimmed sunlight in the sky.

The silver medalist Qianhu of the Great Golden Kingdom, and the pioneer general of the Red Tiger Army, wore a thick armor from head to toe, covering all parts of his body. The black helmet as the armor was hidden, making him almost Just like the god of death from the netherworld, people can barely see his face. However, between the opening and closing of his eyes, the gleam of light that flashed out made everyone around him deeply feel this pioneer. The fierce and fierce air radiating from the general at any time.

The long-handled broadsword weighing sixty-three jins was carried in his left hand as if it was weightless.

Since ancient times, when the army of the nomads fought against the Central Plains dynasty, the main offensive force they relied on was the cavalry that came and went like wind. From the beginning of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the horse warfare has almost become a decisive victory in the battle between the two armies. The only way to be negative.

But to kill immediately, what you pay attention to is speed and momentum, so the light and sharp weapons in the past are gradually eliminated from the battlefield. Especially since entering the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains dynasty has become more and more sophisticated in shaping armor. No matter how sharp the blade is, it is difficult to cut the strong armor. It is basically replaced by a large-handled machete, a mountain axe, and a meteor hammer. With the weight of the weapon and the impulse of the horse, the heavy weapons of the U.S. can completely shake the opponent to death and injure the opponent without breaking the armor of the opponent.

Just like the long-handled machete in Pingchi Daluhua's hand, it didn't have any blade at all. The place where the blade should have been, but it was only printed with mottled flesh and blood marks.

He was only more than 30 years old and able to become the commander-in-chief of the most elite troops in this golden army, and he couldn't help but feel complacent.

This is the result of my blood and military exploits.

In the battle to capture the capital of Liao and Zhongjing, his 15,000 vanguard troops defeated one hundred thousand people in the Liao army. Under the big sword in his hand, he ruined the soul of countless fierce soldiers in the Liao State.

He retracted his gaze, turned his head, and said to Bianlu, the vice general of Pioneer who had fallen slightly, "Immediately pass the order, and the whole army will rush to the Dragon King Temple and set up camp!"

Bian Lu rushed forward and asked in surprise, "General, it is less than twenty miles away from Shunchang City. We should be there before dusk!"

Pingchi Dalu smiled at the corner of his mouth, raised his horse whip, and pointed at the sky: "Costin has already begun to fly back to the nest. Tonight will not be the weather suitable for siege!"

The whole body of Bian Lu was shocked, and then he raised his head and saw the clouds growing thicker and thicker beside the scorching sun in the sky.

Costin flies back to the nest, which is the Jurchen people’s habit of describing the future of thunderstorms.

He is also a person who has been in battle for a long time. Although it is impossible to know for sure whether there will be a torrential rain tonight from the celestial phenomena in front of him, but in any case, the weather will change, which will inevitably not be conducive to the army's attack on the city.

Escorting Bian Lu no longer hesitated, he gave an order, turned his horse back, and passed the order to the whole team.

Before heading straight to Shunchang City, they had done a detailed study of the nearby terrain and terrain. They had already determined where to camp and rest, before marching, so they paid Bian Lu at this time. With an order, more than 15,000 rode, steered and steered, and did not linger.

The Jinjun traveled all over the world, except for a few people such as Zhang Jun and Yue Fei, it was not a fluke that he never failed.

Pingchi Daluhua looked back and looked at the cavalry covered in dark black heavy armor. Every three horses are connected by iron chains. They are all three horses at the same time, but they are just like the same horse. Without the slightest confusion.

In the Song Dynasty, because the sixteen prefectures of Youyun in the north were all under the hands of the Liao State, the northwest, Qinghai-Tibet, and southern Yunnan were segregated by Xixia, Tubo, and Dali respectively. Therefore, the source of the horses has been completely lost. Therefore, in the Song army, it has never been able to develop a truly powerful cavalry that can compete with foreign armies.

It's just that there will be gains and losses. Although the Song Army can't fight with the horse army and the foreign army, in the battle for more than a hundred years, it has also developed a series of defensive formations against the horse army. In this way, when the Song army competed with the foreign army, it was difficult to win; but the foreign horse army wanted to break through the defense of the Song army, but it was also extremely difficult. Even the more than a hundred years of ties between the Liao and Song Dynasties were determined by the stubborn strength between the two armies.

Therefore, although the Jurchen tribe started from the White Mountains and Heishui, in just a few years, the Liao army, which had been decayed and decayed for more than a hundred years, was wiped out without the power to fight back. However, when the South attacked the Song Dynasty, Dajin However, the cavalry of this army, which should have been far weaker than the Liao army, was hindered by a hundred times stronger than the Liao army.

Therefore, the Jin people really regarded this seemingly weak Song State as the only enemy in his life. After all, the Song Army’s strong and unbreakable defense, if you wait to put yourself in an invincible place first, If there are peerless generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong in the Song Army, apart from the defensive battlefield, they can train a cavalry force capable of assault and rapid attack, then the one who suffers must be the invincible Big Gold and Iron Army.

Had it not been for Zhao Gou, a monarch in Song State who was afraid of peace and discussion, the Jinren would still be able to occupy a large area of Jiangbei.

Therefore, in the past few years of the armistice, the several generals in the Jin Army who had great foresight, all focused their thinking on how to break through the Song Army's defensive battlefield.

The "Iron Float" with more than 15,000 horses and 5,103 columns behind him is an elite selected from the original million gold army based on the vision of the golden war god. The elite in China, after four years of careful training and training.

The Jin Army attacked the Song Dynasty with 600,000 troops this time, and it really had the ambition to win. After all, at this time in the Southern Dynasty, the country was changing, the generals were not attached, and the morale of the soldiers was particularly low. If you don’t directly point at this time, step through this small southern court, and wait for the emperor of Song State who is said to have changed his sex to run for a few more years, and then she will be grazing Jiangnan again, but it will be even more difficult than it is now. Times.

From the trump card "Iron Futu" of the Golden Army that he led, he became the vanguard of the attack on the Song Dynasty, and one could see the heart of the Dajin Kingdom for victory in this attack on the Song Dynasty.

Pioneers should be like sharp blades. Once Song Jun's hole is torn open and the army points directly, it will naturally be like a broken bamboo.

"Iron Futu" was designed specifically for the tough defensive battlefield of the Song Army.

From human to horse, everything is wrapped in profound armor, making it difficult to enter with a sharp blade. And the three riders are connected with each other, and they advance and retreat together, which is equivalent to triple the strength of the fight. And the three horses are connected to each other as auxiliary wings, which will also make it more difficult for the Song army to use the big knife to smash the horse's legs, or to confuse the cavalry.

The three horses wrapped in profound armor and heavy armor weighed more than a thousand catties, coupled with the force of Liangju rushing, on the battlefield, it was a moving copper and iron fortress, regardless of the Song Army battle in front of you. How tough the formation is, it is impossible to escape the fate of being trampled and crushed.

Pingchi Daluhua looked at the "Iron Futu" army behind him. Although the men and horses are connected, but at the turning point of the advancement and retreat, there are three horses and three people, like one, even every step and foot of the three horses. The ground is cut at the same time, and the distance taken is as if measured with the most precise ruler, generally the same, no difference.

Where can the world find a second such army

Which army in the world can withstand the rush and collision of these copper and iron fortresses

Could it be that in the six years of Shaoxing’s battle, the city of Shunchang, which was missing a half-angle, has not been reinforced and repaired so far

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, pointing the knife in the direction of Shunchang City, and shouting: "My sons, go forward bravely. At this time tomorrow, we can snatch all the gold and silver in that city and sleep all over. Pretty women there!"

There was a burst of applause.

The sand and dust rolled straight towards the city of Shunchang not far away.

……

"I don't want you to think about national justice, what you think about regaining rivers and mountains, I just want to ask you, a group of robbers are going to break your house, kill your parents, rob your money, and sleep with your women. As a master with handles, what are you going to do?"

"Fuck!"

"Kill them!"

"Fuck them!"

"kill!"

The sergeants of the Yue Family Army gathered on the field of the lower colonel scolded hoarsely and answered differently, but they all expressed the same meaning.

Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and other generals of the Yue family’s army looked at the emperor of the Song Dynasty who was standing in the center of the stone platform and speaking to all the Yue family’s military. Using his deep internal strength, these were completely different from what he should have said. The words that came out were clearly sent to everyone's ears.

For a time, a thought came to them at the same time.

If Chang Zhiyuan hadn't been beheaded, I'm afraid he would also be so angry that he would die.

Niu Gao grinned and grinned. He felt that the emperor was handsome, but he was so damn different, and he had a damn appetite for Lao Niu.

Although the soldiers of the Yue Family Army lined up at this time, out of resistance to Chang Zhiyuan, they had a bit of a sense of separation from the new guardian who took over as Chang Zhiyuan, but at this time, listening to him is enthusiastic. Pentium's remarks could not help but forget all of them.

What this supervising army observer said was not the sour words that he didn't understand, but that every sentence was spoken to his heart.

Zhao Kuangyin stood on the stone platform, majestic and majestic as a god.

The excuse that the book official in the camp had made for him was shaken to powder before he saw it.

No one understands better than him, what should be said to a real soldier.

"What if those bandits have better weapons than you?"

"kill!"

"I have a life!"

"Fight!"

"What if the armor of those bandits is stronger than yours?"

"kill!"

"Hack them!"

"What if the band of bandits' horses are faster than you?"

"kill!"

The mood of the sergeant underneath became more and more excited, and the voice became louder and louder, but the words he called out became more unified.

A smile appeared on Zhao Kuangyin's face, and he slowly said, "If the group of robbers are now twenty miles outside the city, are they waiting to snatch them into the city tomorrow?"

There was silence underneath for a while, and suddenly there was an overwhelming roar:

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The Seventy Thousand Yue Family Sergeants of the Great Song Dynasty roared hoarsely, rolling over the world, and for a while, it seemed that even the somewhat dim sun was dyed blood red.
