The crimson uniforms were as blazing as flames, and under the sun, the brightly shining weapons in the hands of the Yue Family Army sergeants added a bit of hot and oppressive feeling.
Twenty thousand sergeants of the Yue Family Army, lined up in a neat formation, went at full speed to Shuzhou City, which was only 30 miles away from Shunchang City, and raised the dust and went straight to the sky.
Wang Gui bid farewell to the heavy-faced Yue Family Army generals, and finally came to Liu Zi's side, hugged each other heavily, and then he saddled up on his horse and slashed away.
Everyone can feel the ascending warfare that exudes from him.
It's just that in the hearts of these generals, they really can't relax.
Under the situation of the 300,000 army of the Jinmen under pressure, nearly one-third of the troops were allocated, and they did not even use the Emperor Marshal himself as a bait to lure the Jinmen into a two-way battle
Since the emperor's commander attacked the 15,000 vanguard army of the Jinren at night, they have all been impressed by the emperor's bravery, but at this time, they couldn't help but worry about whether the emperor's commander was too brave.
This is definitely a risky move!
The army of the golden men came here, known as 300,000 cavalry, and the soldiers and horses were several times larger than their own. But outside of Shunchang City, it was open and wide, and the place where the cavalry charged was based on the strategy they had planned before. According to the city of Shunchang Jiancheng, the enemy army took advantage of its weakness and attacked again.
After all, it’s midsummer at this time. The Jurchens who grew up in the white mountains and black waters are not used to the southern climate. They also have a long way to go. Food is difficult and there are big problems in transportation and supplies. As long as the stalemate lasts for a period of time, the ones who suffer Jurchen cavalry from afar.
Just sticking to Shunchang and resisting the impact of these three hundred thousand cavalry is by no means an easy task.
You know, today is different from the past. For several years, Qin Hui’s party even deliberately left idle. Although Han Shizhong’s months of recovery and rectification, the strength of this Yue family army is still different from that of its heyday. .
And even Yue Fei’s impressive record of breaking the enemy’s 50,000 with 8,000 troops and horses was based on those 8,000 sergeants, who were originally the only elite cavalry in the Song Dynasty trained by Yue Fei for several years. on.
The pawns are inconvenient to move and defend, and they are only suitable for defense. Cavalry comes and goes like wind and is good at offensive. This is also the reason why they have been quite worried about the decision of the emperor to separate the army.
Shuzhou City and Shunchang City are only 30 miles away from each other, and they seem to be horns, but in reality the two cities are garrisoning pawns, moving slowly, and it is difficult for each other to help each other.
On the contrary, it is the army of the Jinren, dominated by cavalry, coming and going like wind, thirty miles only in an instant, it is not difficult to concentrate on one place, or to attack two sides, both are not difficult to do, and they are stationed in two places. , Is tantamount to putting the initiative in the hands of the enemy.
If one comes, the battle is to be won, unless the situation develops in the future, and everything is really as the emperor's commander expected.
But, is that really possible
Liu Zifang pressed his waist knife and watched Wang Gui slowly disappear into the rising yellow dust, but he still remembered the murderous intent in his eyes.
If the Emperor Marshal's plan can be unfolded step by step, the task on his shoulders is the heaviest, while the task of Wang Gui is the most dangerous.
However, none of them competed with Wang Gui to lead the team to Shuzhou City, even Niu Gao, the best brave man.
Because this is the most likely opportunity to meet Jin Wushu.
No one knew better than them, Wang Gui's hatred of Jin Wushu.
Especially his Liu Zifang.
That was eleven years ago.
Jin Wushu was the left deputy marshal of the Chinese army who had invaded the Jin army to the south.
At that time, I was with Wang Gui, leading an army of more than a thousand people on Hebei West Road, and fighting hard and bloody with the army of thousands of people from Fenzhou City outside Taiyuan Prefecture.
In battle, Wang Gui rode solo. He rushed back and forth in the enemy's formation seven times, beating hundreds of people. Even the silver medalist of the left army on Jinren West Road, Geqihe, the control officer of the left army, died at Wang Gui’s. Under the knife.
However, Wang Gui's wife, parents, and his infant son were all trapped in the city of Fenzhou before they could withdraw.
When Wang Gui madly rushed into Fenzhou City, looking for, crying, and howling among the corpses in the mountains and seas, he guarded him with a knife sideways and turned one over. Another golden soldier.
Although he has spent most of his life on the battlefield, he has never seen as much blood as that day.
Jin Wushu prancing horse in the Central Plains for more than ten years, and the blood on his hands is more than this one.
Among the people of the Song Dynasty, I don't know how many people want to eat their flesh and sleep with their skins, but Jinwushu is still in the north and south of the country. As long as his name is mentioned, it can stop the nightmare of children crying at night.
Jin Wushu’s real name is Wanyanwushu, and the Han name is Zongbi. However, among the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty, they are almost always called Jinwushu, because in their minds, this hand is not known to be contaminated by the Song Dynasty. The demon of the flesh and blood of the army and the people is the symbol of the Jurchen Jinren.
He was the fourth son of Wanyan Aguda, the great grandfather of the Jin Dynasty. Since Wanyan Agu launched his army in Baishan and Heishui, he has been commanding most of the Jinbing, destroying the Liao and conquering Song Dynasty. He has his power in almost every major battle of the Jin Dynasty. Figure.
He had never learned the art of war, and all the techniques of commanding troops were trained in hundreds of battles against the Liao and Song Dynasties.
In the three years of Jianyan after the Great Song Nandu, Wanyan Wushu raised the army by 100,000, and defeated the famous generals of the Song army. He chased the current emperor's official all the way, and even broke Yangzhou, Hezhou, Hangzhou, Yuezhou, Mingzhou, like entering the land of no one, forced today's emperor officials to install all the civil and military officials of the precarious Jiangnan court on the sea ships, and set sail from Mingzhou. Wanyan Wushu, who is not well versed in naval warfare, led the army all the way into the sea, pursuing for more than three hundred miles. Today, the inhumanity of the Ziguan's family was also scared by the great golden general during that battle.
Even if the Chuan-Shan Xuanfu, who was leaned by the Great Song Dynasty as the Great Wall, Zhang Jun assembled Liu Qi, Wu Jie, Zhao Zhe and other ministries, dispatched 400,000 troops, and besieged him in Fuping with a force several times that of Jin Wushu. Annihilated in World War I, but after a bloody day and night, Zhao Zhe’s army was smashed by him. When Zhao Zhe’s army was scattered, he chased and defeated the Song army with less and more. The Song army was defeated and dispersed. Since then, the Great Song Dynasty has completely lost the five roads in Shaanxi.
Although he has suffered three losses in the hands of three unfamiliar generals, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, and Wu Jie, he has not compromised his position in the Golden Army, second only to the "God of War" Wanyanliang.
Because of the army coming south this time, King Sejong still uses Wanyan Wushu as the commander in charge, with a total of 600,000 troops of the Jin army.
No one can despise Jin Wushu, even the generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, who have defeated him, do not even despise this enemy.
After all, no matter how disadvantaged that day, Jin Wushu still succeeded in bringing the main force of the Jurchen cavalry back to the north of the river.
It was when the army and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty had already organized, and the situation between Song and Jin Dynasty had been reversed. The Jurchen cavalry had forged ahead and penetrated into the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River before. Existence will be a big question mark.
When you advance, you will advance, when you retreat, you will retreat.
For such an opponent, would he really follow the game set by the emperor in every step
However, at the moment they retracted their eyes to look into the distance, they have buried all their doubts in their hearts, and replaced them with a burning intent to fight.
Yes, the reason why they did not hesitate to implement all his orders after the Emperor Marshal announced the plan, in addition to the vocation of the soldier, it was more because of trust!
After more than ten days of trial, they have a blind faith in their Emperor.
They are convinced that the emperor will never take them, and use Song Jiangshan to make such a joke.
As soldiers, they had already put everything aside at this time, only left with that kind of unspeakable fanatical desire for the battle that was about to come.
Since the Jinren’s horses dared to set foot on the land of the Song Dynasty, let them use the blood of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to tell the Jurchens.
Any step taken by any aggressor on the land of Song Dynasty must pay the price of blood!
……
Yilaiyi's large and deep deposits of rain clouds cut the light and shadow of the earth into pieces by Madara.
Zhao Kuangyin rode his horse to relax, the long wind blew, and his face was slightly painful, but when he looked back, Shunchang City was already thrown into the invisible distance.
Although the generals of the unified army have experienced many battles and are skilled in tactics, they are ultimately different from them.
In addition to being an unfamiliar general, he is also an emperor who holds the universe in his hands!
In the eyes of the emperor, marching and governance, like the arms of a country, complement each other.
Therefore, his vision is not limited to the upcoming battle in front of him.
The war between the two countries requires more than soldiers and enthusiasm, but more, they are consuming people's livelihood and money.
Although the southern half of the Yangtze River has always been a place of wealth and stability, and the Great Song Dynasty under his own control, it is more controlled by the Tianfu in Shuzhong, and the grain production is abundant, but after more than ten years of fighting, it is no longer able to bear it.
If it hadn’t been a few years ago, several iron armies led by Yue Fei and Han Shizhong drove the Jurchen soldiers out of the hinterland, and since then they have been controlling the battlefield against Jin Guo’s soldiers and horses in several places along the line before the border of Song and Jin. The economy of Shida Song still cannot be restored to its present level.
However, Zhao Kuangyin knew incomparably that the most fundamental reason why the Song Dynasty’s army was able to attack the enemy’s front lines in the past few years was not the enhancement of the Song Dynasty’s military strength, but after the Jurchens defeated Beiliao and attacked Bianjing. , Xia Xia no longer regarded himself as a mere barbarian in the remote white mountains and black waters, but regarded himself as an orthodox in the world that could be mixed in one universe.
Therefore, every time the Jurchens attacked the Song Dynasty, they saved the heart of destroying the Song Dynasty and occupying half of the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, the army directed forward and attacked all the strategic points that the Song Dynasty army was strictly guarding. The intention depends on the battle, and because of this, the Jurchen talents have been blindly advancing several times, losing the right time and place, and thus are defeated by the generals Yue and Han who are waiting for work.
The reason why the generals of the Yue family army insisted on this proposal according to Shunchang, and waited until the enemy was exhausted before attacking, was precisely the empirical talk obtained after experiencing similar battles of various sizes.
However, the only one of them, Zhao Kuangyin, who has a full grasp of the situation between Song and Jin, knows very clearly that this battle is no longer the same as those fought before!
In fact, Jin Wushu, who had fought with Yue and Han armies several times, had already understood in his heart that the military strength between Song and Jin was not far away. The power of Jurchen nationwide is also an impossible task.
Because of the brave and diligent Jin Wushu that year, he will not hesitate to carry on the name of fleeing, and he will continue to flee, and is eager to retreat to the north bank of the great river.
Although the Jinren held hundreds of thousands of troops to suppress the realm, it seemed that they wanted to do a battle to wipe out the Song realm, but Zhao Kuangyin was absolutely sure that this was just a deliberate appearance.
While the Jurchens deployed hundreds of thousands of troops from all ethnic groups of Donghu on the western front to resist the Xiliao attack of Yelu Dashi, they were absolutely unable to sustain such a full-scale battle.
Jin Wushu came here only to carry out a gorgeous army, in order to force peace by war, so as to obtain the benefits that cannot be obtained on the battlefield at the negotiating table.
However, this is exactly what makes Zhao Kuangyin the most headache.
Even the most powerful nomads in Zilai, compared with the Central Plains dynasty, regardless of the population and army, they are often disproportionate in number.
However, just like a giant elephant, it cannot avoid the bites of gnats.
The Nvzhen barbarians possessed this cavalry squad which is probably the most numerous in history. They are like holding an indestructible weapon and can choose to break through the defense of the Song Dynasty at any time.
In order to cope with such attacks that came and went like the wind, Da Song had to spend most of his national strength on building barriers and garrisoning troops.
In the past, the Jinren and Da Song armies fought head-to-head in various strategic points and met hand-to-hand, which was tantamount to giving up the greatest advantage of cavalry on their own.
Now if the Jin Ren gave up his ambition to swallow Song Da Song and changed his usual harassment raid tactics, it would really be impossible to defend against.
At present, Liu Qi and Wu Lin's armies are in a state of reorganization. Da Song's armies that can be quickly put into battle are limited, and they are bound to be unable to deploy defenses along the line.
If you want to achieve the goal of making peace with the Jin people, then bypass the heavily guarded fortified city, penetrate through the gaps in the military towns, and go straight to Lin'an, thus deterring yourself, the emperor's official, almost capable of conquering war. The tactics that Jin Wushu will use.
Although this is very risky, the chance of success against the Da Song infantry who is good at defending and not attacking at the impressive speed of the golden cavalry is really very high.
Along the Lin'an line, there is a wealth of wealth in the Song Dynasty. Jin Wushu's army led hundreds of thousands of horses to looting, fearing that the Song Dynasty will not be able to recover its vitality in more than ten years.
So he decided to use his body as a bait to divide the army, not out of impulse.
If Jin Wushu wanted to use war to force peace, he, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, would definitely be the most exotic target for advancement.
And only by holding down Jin Wushu's hundreds of thousands of troops, can oneself be able to calmly carry out the next plan.
No one can guess what he wants to achieve in this war.
Even the generals of the Yue Family Army have never known it.
He didn't explain everything to them, and he didn't have to say everything to them.
Serve with benevolence and imperial with majesty.
What he needs is not persuasion, but absolute obedience!
This is the way of the emperor.
A shadow was cast, and a little rain was caught in the long wind blowing across the face.
Zhao Kuangyin raised his head, and the squat wall of Shuzhou City was already faintly caught in his sight.
"drive!"
Zhao Kuangyin slid his horse, lifted the rein, and rushed to the small city, into the storm.
His laughter was flying up and swaying in the wind.
Jin Wushu Ah Jin Wushu, I will be waiting for you here!
Don't let me down!
