Puzzle six down
Puzzle (6b)
The first, fourth, fifth, and sixth marks, four huge arrows, broke through the barriers on the map and pierced Quanzhou. Quanzhou, which lost its peripheral city, was like a shelled egg that was placed in front of Wen Tianxiang.
The sporadic explosion of cannonballs came from a distance, shaking the candles on the table back and forth. The battle at the front continued, and the main force of the left wing army in Quanzhou City organized several large-scale counterattacks, but they were all driven back by the broken army. According to the predetermined plan, people from all walks of life approached Quanzhou City in an orderly manner. In the makeshift tent of the Chinese army, the staff officers were busy excitedly, constantly adjusting the markings on the map according to the advance of each battalion.
The first battle to win Quanzhou, this record, let the old people who remember the equipment of the broken army die of shame. Several staff officers were talking lawlessly, so happy that they almost beat the drum and sang. The imperial court thought that the victory of the captives was completely based on strong bows and artillery, but it ignored that these people who manipulated weapons were the decisive factors in the situation of the war. After taking Quanzhou, the Prime Minister's Mansion asked the Xing Dynasty to send troops to attack Zhangzhou in the name of opening up the passage between Guangnan and Fujian.
If you don't make any effort, you want to get equipment from the Broken Army. No way, even if Prime Minister Wen agrees, everyone will not agree.
"Our army won on all fronts, capturing more than 20,000 enemy troops, and slashing and defeating more than 30,000 is expected!" Zeng Huan, the chief of staff, held a battle report that had just been counted, shouted loudly, and rushed into the tent of the Chinese army. Looking at the surrounding generals, he put down his hand embarrassedly, slowed down, and came to Wen Tianxiang.
"Well, in the military, don't talk so much about courtesy. What are our own losses, and can the soldiers hold on, especially the brothers of the sixth standard, what is the situation on their side? Wen Tianxiang asked with a smile, and his emotions were also infected by Zeng Huan. Training for a thousand days is used for a while. The mountainous terrain of northern Fujian, and the tight financial situation of the Prime Minister's Office, made it impossible for the army to raise too many soldiers. But before each soldier went to battle, the training team provided them with maximum training. several months of running-in; whether the new annexed army incorporated into the Broken Army can be integrated into the original combat system of the Broken Army; and Yang Xiaorong, who maintains a certain degree of independence, can it be in line with several other standards; All kinds of problems need to be tested through the battles of the past few days.
"The losses of each standard are very small, the number of dead in the battle is not more than three hundred, and Xinghua has encountered some emergencies, and the color number is a bit much. But the military medical officer has done his best to treat him. Now the morale of the soldiers is very high, and after the fifth standard captures Yongchun, they are ready to approach Nan'an. The first standard also began to attack Xianyu and. General Yang's sixth standard and the teaching battalion captured Anxi together, and it is being repaired, and it can be replenished at any time to meet with the fifth standard! Zeng Huan reported in one breath, his face flushed with excitement. Keep staggering your feet and walking around on the ground.
In addition to continuous victories, it is also necessary to break the indomitable spirit of the soldiers and soldiers. In the history of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been an army with such a high fighting spirit. Without waiting for the coach to give orders, he took the initiative to ask for help. It is not only the superior weapons that support the confidence of the soldiers to win, but in fact, because of the limitations of their own production capacity and the huge demand of the outside world, the equipment of the broken army is far from complete. In addition to Zhang Tang's first standard and the pioneer battalions responsible for attacking the fortifications, many soldiers still held their original weapons and wore paper armor when they were the new annexed army. The soldiers who are accustomed to choosing the imperial court may not fully understand the concept of the country in the mouths of the scholars who taught them to read and read in the night school, but they have a deep feeling for the certificate of defending the land that can be seen in the hands of the officials, as well as the pension of 30 acres of land after being discharged from the army due to injury.
Thirty acres of land and one cow is a farmer's lifelong goal. And the prime minister promised that if they died in battle for the country or were wounded and retired, their family would not only receive 30 acres of paddy fields, but also keep the land protection certificate for generations. Let the world always remember the glory of their sacrifice for the country.
Simply put, a bronze medal engraved with the words "The Responsibility of the Horseman" put the veterans of a hundred battles, the new recruits and the surrendered supplementary soldiers on the battlefield side by side, and most of them were destined not to see the day of victory. But they knew that as long as the banner of the Breakers did not fall, their children and grandchildren would not be displaced like themselves.
"Prime Minister, a few of our staff officers, want to take a look at the front line!" Zeng Huan played with his land protection card, and his expression was a little twisted. Wen Tianxiang only pointed out the strategic objectives of this operation, and the detailed planning of the specific tactical level was all from Zeng Huan and his staff officers. Such a large-scale battle is the first time for many people, including Zeng Huan, so everyone is eager to go to the front line to see and test the fruits of their labor.
"Don't worry, let's finish the next step first!" Wen Tianxiang smiled and patted Zeng Huan's shoulder, deep down, he was as excited as Zeng Huan. Talking and laughing about thieves, that is the demeanor of a Ming general through the ages, he thinks he is not, and he can't even look at the back of a famous general. But the advantage over the ancient and modern famous generals is the classic battle examples in Wen Zhong's memory. He also wanted his own reflections on the similarities and differences between wars in the age of firearms and wars in the age of cold weapons.
The Broken Army was the first unit to bring firearms to the battlefield in formation, so it was destined to do different things in the past. It is the most practical to formulate combat goals that are compatible with one's own abilities according to one's own strengths and weaknesses. As for the elegance of those lupine scarves, it is better to leave it to future generations to use their imagination.
Wen Tianxiang put his hand on the map and carefully considered his next move. The first goal of the Battle of Quanzhou has already seen the dawn of victory. However, more needs to be done to achieve the goal of the second stage.
There is no tool in hand that can instantly spread the word, and once the troops are mobilized, they will not be able to control the trend of the situation in a short period of time. Therefore, every step must be more thoughtful, not only for oneself, but also for the enemy.
The Left Wing Army has been crippled, and no matter how resourceful the Pu brothers are, they have no available soldiers in their hands, and they can't make any dangerous moves. However, in the south, Suodu, when Mrs. Xu took the initiative to let go of a section of the Jiulong River defense line, he stopped and devoted himself to suppressing bandits in Zhangzhou and Chaozhou.
Could it be that he had the foresight to know that the Broken Army was marching south for him? Wen Tianxiang thought cautiously, shook his head, and vetoed this possibility. The Breaker Army had just begun to launch an offensive near Quanzhou, and Suodu must not have even received a letter from the Pu family in Quanzhou asking for help. But what if he receives a letter asking for help, and refuses to rush into the trap of the captive army?
Wen Tianxiang's two sword eyebrows were wrinkled together, as thick as ink. At this moment, it may not only be necessary to use trickery, but also some things outside the battlefield need to play their role. The advantage of the Broken Army is that it has many advantages outside the military level compared to other armies in this era, such as propaganda, such as popular support.
The staff officers' chatter gradually became quieter, and they began to plan how to make the outcome of this battle more perfect. But everyone knows that it's easy to mobilize your own army, and it's hard to get your opponent to work with you as you design.
Zeng Huan blushed and pushed several small flags representing the Broken Army forward on the map. As soon as the situation outside Quanzhou City lit up, Wen Tianxiang smiled appreciatively at Zeng Huan, and then began to arrange: "Dispatch all targets, and after advancing to the expected goal, immediately repair them in situ." Cut off the grain routes from the surrounding states and counties to Quanzhou, and besiege but not attack. If the Pujia army goes out of the city to fight back, resolutely and completely exterminate, don't let any of them back. At the same time, Zeng Huan, you write a letter of persuasion to Pu Shougeng in my name, and find a captive to bring it to him. Tell him that if Xiancheng surrenders, I can guarantee the lives of all the soldiers and civilians in Quanzhou except for their Pu brothers. If he wants to leave, he can do so, seal the treasury, leave food and belongings, and evacuate within ten days. Ten days later, if he doesn't surrender and leave, the broken army will go directly into the city, and at that time, the people who participated in the massacre of the Great Song royal family, and all the people surnamed Pu, I will send them to Yashan for trial by the emperor himself! ”
"Yes!" Zeng Huanyi stepped forward and replied loudly. There was a surge of emotion in my heart that I was seeking for my confidant and was unshakable in this life. Delaying the offensive and encircling but not taking it was a poisonous plan he had just thought of. After Wen Tianxiang proposed it, he immediately fully adopted it and began to supplement the deficiencies. At the beginning, the Pu brothers killed more than 3,000 people surnamed Zhao to ask the Mongols for credit, as if they were sent to Yashan. Therefore, the Pu brothers will definitely not surrender. As for the merchants in the city, as long as they can save their lives and property, they don't really care who sacrifices. Last time, they sacrificed three thousand Zhao and Song royal families, and this time, the Pu family brothers, who refused to surrender, inevitably became the common enemies of the chambers of commerce in the city.
"Bai Xu, you take my order arrow to General Yang Xiaorong to reward the fifth standard order. It is said that all the Fuzhou fathers and elders were shocked by their achievements. After this battle, I will personally go and toast the brother of the fifth standard. After Yan Jingyuan, you take a fast horse and send a letter to General Chen Fusong, telling him that the water operation can begin, and ask the Fang family to carry out the agreement between us and ......." Wen Tianxiang thought about it and gave a few more orders. Anyway, the new annexes who came over fought well on the flanks this time, so they should be doubly encouraged. When the soldiers knew the responsibility and honor on their bodies, the generals wanted to take them, but they might not be able to take them away.
The confident voice echoed in the military tent, and all the tasks seemed to be memorized, and they were arranged in an orderly manner from Wen Tianxiang's mouth. After such a long run-in, he has blended into his current identity. is no longer the scholar who can rush to the light, but has slowly become a qualified general.
"Master, you send someone back to Fuzhou as soon as possible, print the news of our army's victory in the outskirts of Quanzhou into a newspaper, and spread it through all channels. Remember, to say how critical the situation of the Pu family is, by the way, the Pu family and the Left Wing Army and the Broken Army have stopped the fierce fighting. Quanzhou may surrender without a fight and return to the Great Song Dynasty! Wen Tianxiang turned his gaze to Chen Longfu, now is the best time to compete for the hearts and minds of the people, although this will prematurely expose the strength of the Broken Army. But each victory boosted the morale of the resisters everywhere, and gave those who were not willing to be slaves of the Mongols a real comparison between the actions of the court and the captive army.
"Yes!" Chen Long Fuxing rushed to agree, and the white beard flew high with the sound of answer.
"I suggest adding a sentence to say that Suo Du is afraid of the Broken Army, and he will not save the Pu brothers when they see death!" Staff officer Zeng Huan put down his pen and reminded with a wicked smile. Suodu has a keen sense of smell, but he can't stand the reputation of being afraid of war, and the guilt of abandoning Quanzhou and preserving his strength.
Even if he saw that there was a trap ahead, the Breakers had to use all means to get him to jump in. Deception is a type of conspiracy. A more clever ploy than deception, leaving the opponent with no other choice but this way.
"One more thing, saying that the Broken Army is willing to support all forces that resist the Mongols and fight for China!" Wen Tianxiang's words pulled Chen Longfu, who had already walked to the door of the Chinese military tent, back. "Tell everyone that this China does not refer to the Central Plains. It's not willing to be a fourth-class slave, everyone whose life is worth the price of a donkey, a common home! ”
"Yes!" Chen Longfu straightened his body again. He knew that from this moment on, the people in the court would no longer be able to use the emperor's signboard to stop the footsteps of the Broken Army, because the object of their allegiance had changed from the Great Song Dynasty to China.
In the course of this war, some celebrities will wisely remain silent in order to take care of the overall situation and not bear the responsibility of tearing the back legs of the captives and making it impossible for the latter to pay revenge for the royal family.
And after the end of this battle, the word China will be imprinted in the hearts of all those who are paying attention to this battle, and they will not be erased.
