1097. Chapter 1097 - Civil Strife in Jingzhou
The two sides fought, and the Song army did not move, some people wanted to take the opportunity to seize power, either surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, or refuse the city to insist on the war of resistance, people's hearts were different but did not delay being involved in the war, the result was that more and more people participated in the war, the city was in chaos, everyone did not defend the city, each gathered troops to protect themselves, and waited for the opportunity to cut off the heads of others.
The reason is also very simple, since Jiang Yun can sacrifice the forces that develop in Xingqing, he can sacrifice the fine work in the Xia army.
A lieutenant general played a decisive role in the city, he first gathered hundreds of subordinates, under the banner of rebellion and shooting Zhongshu Ling, took the lead in occupying a battle warehouse, and raised the banner of anti-bone black.
A little flame ignited the entire grassland, which just gave those die-hard elements an excuse, and the strong suppression of the bones was black, and it did not leave a hand at all, and it made the people who were watching cold, and everyone had to protect themselves, so as not to be swallowed and killed by others.
The battle in the city became more and more intense, and gradually there was a situation that could not be controlled, although Guli Hei had tens of thousands of people, he still could not destroy the opponent, and even his own men were guarding against each other, and there was a tendency to collapse.
After three days of fierce battles, it gradually became clear, and Guli Hei did his best to promise too many benefits to the people, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people and control the various defenses inside and outside Jingzhou.
The final decisive battle was presided over by Gu Lihei himself, and launched an offensive against the defenders entrenched in the inner city, and more than 3,000 Xia troops attacked continuously.
Some people put down their soldiers, and some people fought desperately, it was simply that everyone could be killed, and the people who killed were red-eyed, and the residents of the inner city were considered to have fallen into bad luck.
In fact, from the beginning of the infighting, the residents of Jingzhou City were very unlucky, young and strong were pulled many times to be cannon fodder, and in the end, even the old and weak women and children were also pulled up, which was full of casualties.
The generals who opposed the black bones were always irreversible, and they were quickly killed, and even those who surrendered were beheaded by the red-eyed Xia army, and the inner city was full of corpses, and the blood stained the ground red.
The deputy general who led the army to rebel first was also a man, and in the face of the constantly pressing enemy, he fought until the last moment of his life, and he completed his duty.
The matter is not over yet, Gu Lihei is very afraid of mutiny, he is already highly nervous, to the point of collapse, no longer ignoring the Song army outside the city, searching for the remnants of the defeated soldiers everywhere, and arresting the civilians who participated in the resistance against him.
For a time, the situation that should have been calmed down was tense again, the chickens and dogs in Jingzhou City were jumping, killing people on the execution ground, and the Xia military officials continued to catch fish that slipped through the net, and by the way, they blackmailed the residents, took people without giving money, and cut them down if they said they were a disorderly people.
At this time, after the internal slaughter of the defenders, the strength of the army dropped to more than 10,000 people left, the bone power was still killing, and the already overwhelmed defensive force of the guide zhì was almost to the point of collapse, and many people felt desperate and went down to the city at night to join the Song army.
The funniest thing is that there are continuous scenes of meeting at the head of the city, everyone is embarrassed to say hello, help each other to escape, and finally even the guards on duty run a lot.
Compared with the chicken feathers in the city, the Song army did not take advantage of the chaos to attack the city, in Jiang Yun's words, it was definitely a gentleman's demeanor, and no one noticed that near a goose hole, several young men in scarlet clothes used strange instruments to measure the city wall.
In Ganzhou, which was far away from the Xingqing battlefield, Yue Fei finally arrived in front of the army after a twenty-day trek, and he did not waste any grinding or precious time, he quickly took over the Hexi Army and immediately launched an offensive against the living girl.
It was another war that didn't look like a face, the Hexi Army of the Song Army took the initiative to fight, and the huge scene of 10,000 horsemen marching out was even shocked by Yue Fei, and praised: "The court has this fine horse, why worry about the immortality of the captive." ”
However, the battle is cruel and does not depend on personal will, the Jin army is almost all elite soldiers, and the battle is significantly higher than that of the Song army, which is an indisputable fact.
Yue Fei is good at using soldiers, and has also commanded thousands of cavalry battles, but thousands and tens of thousands are a hurdle, just like commanding 10,000 people and 100,000 people to fight, the difference between tactics and strategy is worlds apart, not bloody can be replaced.
Besides, the difference in horses also tested the command ability, and it was impossible for the Xiao cavalry to be equipped with all Liangzhou horses, and the heavy cavalry composed of them could not carry out large-scale agitation.
Now, tens of thousands of horsemen are all riding Liangzhou horses, and there are several battalions of auxiliary horse troops, which determines the difference in tactics.
His Hexi Army's combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Yunjie Army, not to mention the elite feudal army, most of the people are the children of the border herdsmen in the army, and they are skilled in bows and horses since childhood, and the horse army can not be cultivated overnight.
The formation of the Hexi Army is the native soldiers of the township army, and it is also the transfer of many herdsmen's children, but the most elite is to strengthen the Yunjie and Fanluo Second Army, and the rest are relatively undertrained, and it is easy to have accidents on the battlefield.
Sure enough, Yue Fei's plan cannot but be said to be ingenious, and his command skills are also very exquisite, but the combat effectiveness of the Hexi Army is really a bit unsatisfactory, and several attacks are not effective, and he was almost defeated by the two wings of the Jin Army.
The Ma army was actually plundered by others, which is really unbearable, and the clumsiness of the Hexi army is embarrassing, that is, Shao Xing sent a feudal army to reinforce it, which can be regarded as barely standing firm.
The cruel reality made Yue Fei realize Wang Xiu's truth, the Jin army has obvious advantages in the battle of the horse army, especially the large army in the plain battle, it is difficult for the Song army to completely defeat the other party, even if you have the horse army, you will not be able to fill the disadvantage in a few years.
Today, if it is replaced by an infantry army, it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out, and it will not be able to support the support of the feudal army, and dealing with thousands of Jurchen cavalry back then, and dealing with tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of Jurchen cavalry today, is very different from the campaign level.
The large-scale horse army movement battle in the wasteland, any exquisite strategy, under the crushing of absolute strength, seems so pale and powerless.
"It seems that Wang Xianggong asked me to go to Hexi, and my intention is quite profound!" Yue Fei is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very shrewd, and only when he is frustrated can he faintly understand Wang Xiu's intentions, which is fulfilling him!
Zhang Xian was also aggrieved, he led a heavy army as a striker, and drove directly to the fort sixty miles away from the county seat of Delete Dan, but he was attacked by two thousand cavalry of the Jin army, and he was passive everywhere, if it was not for the main force to respond, he might be eaten.
It was definitely something he had never done in his life, and it also made him realize that the pure horse army combat was completely different from the infantry tactics, more than their years of experience, this was a highly mobile plunder, completely new field, and he was extremely shocked.
Xu Qing had some experience, and said loudly: "The captives are free from the constraints of the foot soldiers, galloping thousands of miles, erratic, and the infantry army is useless, which is what we will inevitably encounter." ”
