Chapter 657: Jingdong counterattacks

Just as Wang Xiu was confident, Feng Yuan did not disappoint him, and Li Guo faced the threat of tens of thousands of Jin troops, but it was still in the hands of the imperial court. "Words * Love * First * Hair [Latest Chapter Reading Baoliny]

As soon as he abandoned the defense and fled in Zhangyan Cave, he immediately realized that something was wrong, took correct defensive measures, gathered all troops and horses in time, abandoned some fortresses on the periphery, and gathered the main force in the city, so as not to be eaten by the absolutely superior Jin army.

Because, his main task is not to defeat or annihilate the enemy, but to ensure the safety of the Li Guojian and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

While shrinking his forces, he moved all the iron-smelting workshops around Liguo into the city, and the residents of those villages also moved in.

When the main force of the Jin army swarmed by, and did not storm the city, he quickly established a defensive camp outside the city, and the timing was quite good, and when the follow-up troops and horses of the Jin army arrived, the defense system of Li Guojian was completely perfected.

There is no shortage of food and grass, not to mention the first battle, and there is no problem with the soldiers, if the Li Guojian does not have a good armor battle, it is too much to say, all the craftsmen who withdrew into the city are converted to the military, and a large number of offensive and defensive equipment are manufactured, and the materials in reserve are constantly consumed.

Feng Yuan is very confident, he reacted in time and did not suffer losses, his subordinates reached more than 10,000 people, and there was enough food, grass and armor, the conditions were much better than Wang Xiu back then, and it was too bad to hold Li Guo.

As for grain, grass and other materials, the three floors of the new city of Li Guojian are all material storage, grain, steel blanks, and a large number of materials that can be used for defense. It's just right to fight a war of attrition, and those merchants are going to laugh secretly. The more the war is fought, the greater the depletion of reserves, the more money they make.

At the beginning, the follow-up troops of the Jin Army did not have to capture Liguo, but only used thousands of people to contain it, hoping that the Liguo garrison would not make trouble, anyway, they occupied Pengcheng to rush.

Wushu did not know Wang Xiu thoroughly, he was very concerned about the changes in the Southern Dynasty, and also realized that Wang Xiu's improvement would bring great danger to the Jurchens. But they didn't realize the key significance of the country.

In order to achieve his strategic goals, he directly crossed over to Liguo and left it to the follow-up troops to clean up. But where did he think that the generals of the follow-up troops, focusing on the strategic point of attack, took a cautious look at the heavily guarded Li Guojian. The first great opportunity was wasted, and the defenders' defenses were constantly improved.

How could I have thought that Feng Yuan was extremely brave. The battle situation gradually stabilized, and he took the initiative to attack at several opportunities, and after a few rounds, the Jin army was beaten and cried for his mother, and the surveillance troops in the north of Pengcheng were almost completely annihilated.

When the Song army continued to converge in the direction of Xuzhou, the hereditary Hezha Meng'an Nu of the Jin Army realized that it was not good. The army of the Southern Dynasty seemed to be going to a decisive battle in Xuzhou, and the country of Li would be a thorn in the flesh, and it would kill people at a critical moment, so he immediately transferred troops and horses to besiege the country of Li.

With the arrival of the follow-up troops of the Jin army. With 50,000 soldiers, a large-scale bloody battle is slowly beginging.

Feng Yuan was keenly aware of the opportunity, and before the living girl led his troops to encircle Liguo, he once opened a communication channel to the west and transmitted military information in a timely manner, saying that the Jin army was gathering in Liguo, and he was willing to be an iron felt. Attract the main force of the Jin Army, and finally come to a center to blossom.

With the intervention of the Privy Council, Wang Yuan issued a battle order centered on the country, and generals from all walks of life gathered in Xuzhou to repeat Wang Xiu's classic battle.

At the junction of Zhongdu County in Yunzhou and Gong County in Yanzhou, Zhang Jun and Wang De formed a horse infantry army of nearly 30,000 people. They were heading for Xuzhou, and they were preparing to pass directly through Jeju into Xuzhou, because there was a river that could transport grain and grass and reduce the burden of the march. Besides, west of Ziyang Mountain is still controlled by the Song army, so there is no need to worry about the flank being attacked, and the march is safer.

Due to the main force of the second echelon of the Jin Army. Gradually converging to Xuzhou, the garrisons in each county decreased a lot, and the defense line had to be contracted, and some small fortresses were forced to give up.

On that day, more than 1,000 horsemen were marching at an unhurried speed for more than ten miles west of Gongxian County, and almost all of these cavalrymen rode Hequ horses, which were obviously the elite of the army.

Hequ horse is the best horse breed, produced in Liangzhou, the party people limit the good horses, the imperial court does its best, all kinds of means are exhausted, every year from the Tubo people get a batch of horses, back to the Yi case of those unlucky ghosts, if placed in Shaanxi Sixth Road, can return to Yilai Hequ horse, the court will not only not punish, but also praise a lot.

Different places, different times, and different trading partners will have different outcomes.

However, in order to return to the war horse, the imperial court also tried its best. In that year, Wang Shao launched the Xihe Campaign, defeated the Tubo people, established the Xihe Road, stabilized the strategic situation in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, and also took away a part of the horse farm.

However, from the perspective of long-term strategy, the gains outweigh the losses, and the establishment of the Xihe Road is to improve Shaanxi's defensive posture, but it has made the imperial court lose the trust of the Tubo people, and the normal war horse trade has become extremely difficult, not to mention the use of Tubo to contain the party members.

The reason why the eastern encroachment strategy was adopted during the Zhenghe period was that the Tubo people did not cooperate, and it was difficult to launch an offensive on the western front from the Xihe Road.

There are also a small number of Hequ horses in the border areas of Shaanxi, but they are not too good, and all the most elite troops are still not enough, and the seventy-eight generals of that year all rely on the war horses of the Tiansi Prison and the horses of the resurrection of the Jurchens, so that Wang Xiu's lightning-fast military action was created.

Therefore, the Jin army formed an inertial thinking, which Song army team is equipped with Hequ horses, and then equipped with full horse army armor, it is absolutely to be cautious.

Jing Bo is only half equipped with iron armor, riding a horse at the forefront, and his perennial military career has made him grow beyond ordinary people, with a beard on his face, looking very powerful.

He was ordered by Wang Deshuai to recover Gong County and recruit villagers to bury the bones of the fallen soldiers of the 13th Brigade, which can be regarded as his initiative to ask for his life. The thirteenth brigade collapsed, and Qiu Yun's unknown life and death made him very anxious, otherwise he would not have accepted the order of this partial division.

The battlefield was littered with corpses, but fortunately the weather was cold, and the corpses of the war dead were not completely decomposed, at least not yet a plague. Everyone marched silently, no one made a sound, and the whole team was quite silent.

"Tai Lieutenant, the four gates of the county town are closed, and some of them are not abnormal, but there are a few corpses of captives in front of them." A hurry-stitched man came galloping and reported in front of Jingbo Ma.

Jing Bo rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I didn't see corpses everywhere here"

The anxious foot touched the bad breath, swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly said: "It was recently killed, and there are broken flat hook and no feather arrows." ”

"Oh, it looks like there are still people resisting, let's go and see first." Jing Bo's eyes lit up, and some hope rose in his heart, he always thought that Qiu Yun was very hard. To be continued.
