964. Chapter 964: Situation Changes and Choices
In other words, the Song army did not attack the city of Xiazhou, and even just entered Xiazhou, it began to deviate, but it was an all-out attack on Shizhou, in the east of Yanzhou, the northwest camp of the Dianqian Division almost died down, and it seemed to be agreed, the Xia army was busy reinforcing the guards, and the Song army was waiting for a confrontation with big eyes and small eyes.
Li Liangfu did not listen to Ren Duoye's strategy, but adopted the safe method of most generals and retreated into the southern part of Yaode City, and Qingyuan Military City and Mengjing City were lost.
The Qingyuan military city is an important part of the middle line battlefield, the Xia army was attacked by the Song army, and the military city is a matter of time.
However, whether or not it can last for a longer period of time and give the second line of defense more time is related to the stability of the entire defense line. Even if it was surrounded by the Song army, with the danger and reserves of the Qingyuan military city, it could hold out for more than three months with thousands of people, and the sacrifice was worth it.
It's a pity that Li Liangfu saw the crisis, but he didn't pay attention to hope, and gave up the military city lightly, and led to the fact that Mengjing City could not support it.
The loss of Mengjing City had a bad reaction, this city is one of the three cities along the Lingzhou River, through the Guò Hanhai, without the support of the three cities, the main force of the Song army's infantry army has to cross hundreds of miles of the Hanhai, maybe it can.
The key is to defeat the other side in a war, but your army in the past was due to a lack of baggage, which is equivalent to sending people to the door to kill, that's two words.
Therefore, the loss of the Qingyuan military city made the defense of the middle line of the Xia army completely passive, and Mengjing City fell into the hands of the Song army, giving Wu Jie's springboard to advance.
Ren Duoye's construction yì is very exquisite, the whole army crossed the Chungang Gorge, marched towards Yanzhou, and attacked the flank of the Song Army's former Si Tianwu Army, which was an absolutely sinister move, of course, for Gao Ping, and it may lead to the dilemma of the northwest camp of the former division of the Zhanì Palace.
However, as long as the northwest camp of the palace front division can be defeated, it can encourage the army to solve the submarine, and the left wing of the Xia army has no chance of victory.
Li Liangfu considered that the two camps of the Song army threatened Hanhai, and once they quickly went north, they were likely to pose a threat to Xingqing from a soft belly, and most of the generals considered it stable.
The decisive battle of the Song army in the five states can be said to have advantages and disadvantages, and the decisive victory of the five states indicates that the success is half.
Due to Li Liangfu's hasty retreat, some Xia troops were abandoned, and they could only entrench themselves in the camp and resist desperately, allowing the Song army to divide them, and then break them individually, and the remnants of the Xia army in Qingyuan Military City and Mengjing City put up a more resolute resistance.
In this way, the attack of the Song army was even more difficult, the Yunyi Army was withdrawn and reorganized, and the township army troops pulled up, and they fought quite hard.
Relying on the well-built camps, the Xia army resisted very tenaciously, obviously they understood that there was no way out, everyone was fighting the trapped beasts, and the Song army's attacks were repeatedly frustrated.
In the strictest case, the Tongzhou Township Army attacked the Sixth Village, but was counterattacked forcefully, and finally had to withdraw, with less than 2,000 of the 3,000 people, and many of them were killed in the battle.
The high-intensity combat also made Liu Yanqing aware of the combat effectiveness of the Xia army, and he had to change the tactics of the strong attack and turn into a trap, so that the Xia army's sniper troops fell into a desperate situation.
In the face of the good shape of the front line, Qu Duan was elated, but Wang Xiu was in Kaifeng and summoned Zhang Bangchang, Shen Mo, Cai Yi, Zhang Suo, Wang Yuan and others.
The atmosphere was dreary, and everyone smelled something unusual, but no one spoke first.
"Ladies and gentlemen, whether the war in the northwest can be carried out smoothly now is based on the fact that the captives do not interfere with all their strength, and the sudden death of the famous Qianshun leads to internal turmoil. Obviously, Zhang Zichu played a very bad role, and the captives had already seen our superiority, and the original war guidance could no longer adapt to the new form. Wang Xiu saw that everyone was silent, so he first characterized the matter.
"Since the captives are transferred north to the west, it is also an opportunity for us." Zhang Suo glanced at Wang Xiu, and his gaze turned to Wang Yuan's face.
Wang Yuan was a little uncomfortable, but he was also a general with the tone of the main battle, since he had the opportunity, he couldn't let it go, and said in a deep voice: "The captives will march to the northwest, as long as he dares to interfere, my northern army can drive north." ”
Zhang Bangchang's eyelids twitched, and he said dangerously: "Don't use swords and soldiers in vain, the imperial court should not start a war with the captives." ”
Zhang Suo glanced at Zhang Bangchang and said lightly: "Zhang Xianggong is old enough to hold the country, and he can't bear to let the people suffer, so he admires him very much." However, the imperial court has already started a provocation in the northwest and must not stop. The main force of the captives was transferred to the west, and Hebei was bound to be empty. ”
"Financially strained." Zhang Bangchang was very angry with Zhang's attitude, but did he have no way, who let himself lose his prestige, if it weren't for Wang Xiu's nostalgia, I am afraid that it would not be his turn to be the left-behind minister, and he would just be promoted to the palace to support the elderly, and even be dismissed.
He is cautious, and he doesn't think much about the war in the northwest, let alone challenging the Jurchens, it is definitely his nightmare.
Shen Mo glared at Zhang Bangchang fiercely, it was about the battle of **** birds, he had to talk nonsense about money, he didn't want to say it but he couldn't help but say it, it was really unlucky.
After a little muttering, he met Wang Xiu's gaze and said: "If you start a war on two fronts, even if you can defeat the captives, what kind of journey do you want to go into?" ”
This is the key, organizing a mobile defensive war is different from an offensive war, tactical counterattack and strategic counterattack are two different concepts, and the most important thing is financial support.
"Take the southeast road of the river and establish a defense in Xinghao." Zhang saw the silence loosening, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. As a resolute war-theorist, he naturally wanted to fight back against the Jurchens, and when the God of Wealth spoke, he naturally wanted to hear affirmative words.
"Yes." Shen Mo's answer was extremely succinct.
Cai Yi looked silent, his expression was playful, he turned his gaze to Wang Yuan again, and said lightly: "Even so, can you contain the main force of the captives?" ”
Wang Yuan pursed his lips and said affirmatively: "It depends on whether the captives are resolute, they have to be iron-hearted, and they have time to hold us back." ”
"That is to say, once you go north, it will be a full-scale war, and the victory of the imperial court will also be defeat." Shen Mo shook his head, what he said was the truth, the financial resources of the Great Song Dynasty, regardless of the cost, could support two big wars, but in the end it was bankrupt.
Wang Xiu nervously calculated the gains and losses, the large-scale movement of the Jin army in Hebei and Hedong did not deliberately cover up, and the speed division and the staff division were easy to use the guò number to judge the troops of the Jin army, the Ma army was transferred 30,000, and the infantry army also had more than 10,000 people.
There are not too many soldiers and horses, but the Jin army stationed 20,000 horse troops on Xijing Road, and then gather this army, excluding the remaining horse army troops, there will be 40,000 horse troops in the direction of the Tiande army, which is a force that can change the situation of the war!
Launch a counteroffensive to Hebei, Hedong? It's not a way, what Shen Mo said makes sense, in the end it may be a victory or a defeat, the Great Song and the Jurchens are both defeated, and the party members are cheaper, this is not the ending he wants to see.
