1120.Chapter 1120 The Song Army's Offensive in Hexi
The reason is very simple, the Jurchen clan is a small clan, and being able to destroy the Khitan with millions of soldiers is simply the favor of the Immortal Heaven, and even Ah Guta feels very lucky. Romance debuts
The whole clan still has a population of only a few hundred thousand, and even if the fierce security system is implemented and the reputation of the people is constantly encouraged, there are only 100,000 soldiers who can fight.
Some of these soldiers and horses must be stationed in Shangjing, and some of them must be stationed in important areas, which cannot be lightly mobilized, and can be transferred to the battlefield, that is, no more than 80,000 people.
Back then, the Jin army marched south, and there were only 90,000 Jurchens on both sides, and the others were all Fanhan miscellaneous soldiers. Even if the Great Song Dynasty was defeated, the two emperors hunted in the north and the Son of Heaven moved south, the situation faced by the Jurchens was even more complicated, constantly consuming the already small strength.
It's not that they don't want to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, but that the Jurchen people have few villains, and they swept the Khitan and the Great Song Dynasty in ten years, in Wang Xiu's words, that is, they exceeded the offensive apex of the war, that is, they took **** luck to support the city of Kaifeng.
When they took Kaifeng very unexpectedly, it was not by their national strength and military strength, but by the unrealistic fantasies of the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and the change of the order of the Son of Heaven.
In the end, the drawbacks beyond the apex of the offensive began to erupt, with the instability of the Khitan tribes inside, and the dissent of the grassland and the party outside, so that the Jurchens had to choose to maintain the status quo, adopt the strategy of constantly suppressing the Great Song Dynasty, and even put forward a motion to return Hebei, although they were ill-intentioned, but they were helpless.
As soon as he was served, he had heard Wang Xiu's analysis, and he had always seemed to believe it, and when he worked for the Jurchens, he understood Wang Xiu's foresight.
The strategy of the Jurchens, from weakening the Xia and weakening the Song Dynasty to occupying the key points, controlling the flank of the Great Song Dynasty, and mobilizing more than 60,000 Jurchen elites before and after the Wushu, almost reaching the limit of the Jurchen clan, there is no way to draw troops and horses, unless the two rivers are abandoned.
Again, the Jin army is not without soldiers and horses, but there are too few elite soldiers who can maneuver, and the Jurchens are unwilling to arm other tribes, but only limited the recruitment of Khitan, Bohai, and Xi people to form a force that follows the elite of the Jurchen tribe, but they are not at ease.
The highly promoted Temu is a special case, it is the first elite to be dominated by the Shannan Han army, and it is also a helpless move of the Wushu, the Jurchen combat effectiveness has declined, and the alien race has to be enabled, and the Shannan Han people are millions, and it is a pity that the good resources are not used.
Let's not talk about anything else, let's first look at the strength of the Jin army on the battlefield, 60,000 elite Jurchen people, more than 40,000 Fanhan troops, and hundreds of thousands of troops in the six camps of the Song army, but also to deal with the situation in the grassland.
The living girl took 40,000 Jurchen elites, 10,000 Han troops went deep into Hexi, that is, the army fought alone, Sa Li said that there were more than 50,000 people, but there were only two Temu, part of the troops were led by Ali and Wulie, monitoring the various departments of the grassland, and one went south from the eastern part of Henan, but was defeated in Dingzhou and Dijinze, and was completely unable to meet the needs of high-intensity operations.
"For today's plan, we can only let the unified army division defend the city, and I can lead the army out of the city to deter Xiao Heda." Gao Sheng shook his head, ready to fight a bloody battle, anyway, he still has nearly 10,000 people to fight.
Zhang Qiyuan smiled indifferently, and said: "It's also a safe way, with the fifth brother guarding the town, they can't play tricks, and I also have to go back to Ming Langjun to prevent the Southern Dynasty from making trouble in other places." β
"Oh, you're leaving?" Gao Sheng couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Zhang Qiyuan with a smile, and his mocking eyes did not hide it at all.
Zhang Qiyuan's face was slight, although he was called back by Wushu, but he was also suspected of evading, he could use the excuse of the military situation to stay urgently, of course he was unwilling to stay.
"If necessary, please ask Lang Jun to give up Hexi, and hope to cherish it." Gao Sheng did not care too much, but made a solemn request.
Zhang Qiyuan restrained his embarrassed expression, knowing that Gao Sheng was solemn, and as far as the current shape is concerned, there is some truth, the passivity of Henan makes it impossible for Hexi to launch a large-scale offensive, and the Song army can completely take defense in Hexi, directly occupy Henan, and cut off the retreat of the living girl.
Thinking about it, Song Jun also had an ambiguous attitude, and the two sides had not yet developed to the desperate Cheng DΓΉ, so he couldn't help but say: "Don't worry." β
"Instead of breaking each one, it's better to discard the part." Gao Sheng was a little unwilling, but he still endured this breath.
"Yu Wenyi, Tatar." Zhang Qiyuan said thoughtfully.
In Hexi, after Yue Fei's strict training, the Hexi Army eliminated a group of war horses and officials to form a horse team of 6,000 people, which was an all-horse army, and by no means a half-horse army like the Northern Attendant Army.
Shao Xing decided to launch the strongest attack on Ganzhou after learning that Wei Liluo led 5,000 men to the west, and the Song army gathered Fanluo and Hexi troops and began military operations.
Due to the abundance of war horses, the car brigade changed the mules and horses used by other car brigades, and all the war horses were equipped with vehicles, and the horse army and infantry cavalry were also expanded, with more than 200 chariots plus 2,000 horse troops and 2,500 cavalry, and the combat effectiveness exceeded that of the military division.
The living girl deployed two Temu in Ganzhou and organized a garrison of more than 10,000 Uighurs and Dangxiang people, and the strength was relatively strong.
Yue Fei's Hexi Army bore the brunt of the attack and took the lead in launching an attack, driving directly to the county seat of Delete Dan, so that the Jin army was completely unexpected, and had to rush to meet the battle.
This one was a pure battle of the horse army, the two Temu of the Jin army were involved in the battle, the two armies of the Song army and a car brigade, and tens of thousands of horse troops fought in the dark.
It must be said that the Jin army is fierce and still maintains strong combat effectiveness, and the Song army is under great pressure, and even the car brigade cannot bite them, and the mobility of the horse army is too strong.
Yue Fei played a mainstay role, using Zhang Xian's 3,000 cavalry as bait to directly attract the Jin army to besiege him, and let the chariot brigade advance directly to the city of Jie Dan, and set up a chariot cavalry formation, so that the Jin army had to divide his troops to besiege.
He personally led 2,000 horsemen to make a detour, seized the territory of Nanguanpu in Cutan County in one fell swoop, cut off the Jin army and the county grain road, forced the Jin army to return to the army to seize it, and let Shao Xing seize the opportunity.
The car brigade suddenly changed its formation to attack horizontally, and with Zhang Xianbu as the base, it divided the Jin army into two halves, which was a tragic battle.
Although the Jin army was divided into two divisions and could not join the division, it still maintained strong combat effectiveness, and Zhang Xian struggled to support it, and it was almost impossible to hold on.
Yue Fei and Dong Moke joined forces, they fought with the Jin army together, Shao Xing was not idle, he sent a force composed of Qin Feng and Xihe Township Army to launch a strong attack on the county seat, and the defenders were a rabble temporarily, and they had long been frightened by the bloody battle.
The infantry cavalry of the chariot brigade dismounted and fought, and took the south wall in one strong attack, and the strong could not be stronger, and these rabble surrendered one after another, without the slightest hesitation.
