Chapter 122: Da Song's Death Hole Is There! (Ask for collection, ask for recommendation)
"Boom, boom......"
The hooves of countless war horses struck the wide rammed earth official road, making a roar like thunder. Hundreds of Jurchen iron horsemen, just surrounded by Wanyan Zongwang, walked behind a huge marching procession of cavalry, infantry, weeping prisoners, vehicles full of goods, and looting cattle everywhere.
Behind them were groups of Jurchen elites who rode in two people, all dressed in iron armor, carrying spears on their backs, and two bags of feather arrows and two bows, one Jurchen bow and one horn bow, hung on their belts. This is completely a configuration that can be fought at any time, and a team of people adds up, not 10,000 but 8,000.
Behind this elite palace army, there are countless sentry horses running back and forth, constantly bringing the situation of the Song army brigade behind the Jin soldiers who followed the north.
"Second prince, the first part of the Song army has entered Fengqiu County, and the rest are camped around Fengqiu County!"
"Second prince, the Song people still have no sign of narrowing the distance with our army today, and the front army of the Song army is still twenty miles away from the guard palace army led by Prince Langjun!"
Hearing the return, Wanyan Zongwang just smiled: "The army of the Song people is walking so slowly!" Is this a gift for us to cross the Yellow River? ”
A Jurchen general beside him recklessly interjected: "Second prince, don't withdraw either, let's fight with the Song army between Fengqiu and Huazhou!" ”
Wanyan Zongwang glanced at him lightly, and said with a smile: "Do you think that if we want to fight, the Song people will be happy to fight?" Didn't you notice that the Song army was advancing step by step? They traveled twenty miles a day in such a flat place around Kaifeng Mansion, and they also set up a strange big array, and then they climbed slowly, and after climbing twenty miles, they built a large camp like a turtle shell. If the battle is unfavorable, they will shrink back and become turtles. We can't beat their camp for a while, and most of the starvation won't work...... They walked so slowly, they must have carried a lot of baggage!
And it's already the middle of April, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I heard that in June, the hot weather around Kaifeng Mansion can cook the chickens...... Our sons are accustomed to the cold but are very afraid of heat, how sure can we really fight with the Song army in what kind of heat? ”
Wanyan Zongwang's expression was relaxed, but he vetoed the battle under his command, which also made the generals below a little frustrated. Although it is said that the harvest of this trip to the south is unusually rich, it can be said that it is a full return. However, it did not break the Kaifeng Mansion, nor did it get a satisfactory peace treaty from the Great Song Dynasty. Even the dissatisfying peace treaty seems to have been torn up by the untrustworthy Great Song court.
If you retreat and return, this battle of the Southern Expedition will not be a hearty victory!
Looking at the depressed expressions of the people around him, Wanyan Zongwang said with a smile: "The army of the Song people is strong and weak, and it is longer than defending the fortress and defending the city, and it is shorter than attacking the fortified city in the field. If we give the Song army a chance to hold on, then even if we can win, we will be greatly injured, and the gains outweigh the losses! Wouldn't it be stupid to march and fight, but not to pick and choose the enemy's best to fight? I won't hide it from you, I have already discussed with the deputy marshal and Shilang Jun a way to choke the death hole of the Song people, and then force the Song people to attack the fortifications. When the time comes, the Song people will attack the fortifications, and we will defend the village, are we afraid that we will not be able to win a big victory? As far as the Song people are so weak, even the dying Khitans can't attack, and how many girls can really be injured? ”
His words were half hidden and half hidden, and his generals were also confused. At this time, the Jurchens were still upright and simple, and they could ask whatever they wanted.
"Second prince, what do you mean by the death of the Song people? What is that? ”
"yes, what kind of hole is that, is it a hole used to hide treasures?"
"It's not a treasure, it's supposed to bury the dead...... The second prince wants to dig up the graves of the old emperors of the Song people, right? ”
How can you say that the second prince of Dajin has become the second prince of touching gold?
Wanyan Zongwang hurriedly waved his hand, and didn't say anything about the dead cave or dragon's den, but simply pointed to the north and asked left and right: "Do you know the Yellow River?" ”
"Yes!" Someone immediately replied, "Second prince, do you want to line up against the water?" ”
Wanyan Zongwang smiled: "It's backwater...... But it was the Song people who were cornered! ”
"Why?"
"Because the Yellow River is too high!" Wanyan Zongwang said with a smile, "I don't know how to do it, in the north of Kaifeng Mansion, the river is actually higher than the ground, and it all depends on the embankments on both sides of the river to hold the river. Now it is April when the Yellow River is abundant, and if the Yellow River embankment is dug up, it will be a surging flood...... Can Kaifeng Mansion block the water of the Yellow River? If you can't stop it, the millions of people in Kaifeng Mansion will have to turn into fish and shrimp!
If the officials of the Song Dynasty knew that we were going to dig the Yellow River in the area of the Sanshan pontoon bridge, they would not strictly urge the Song troops who followed us to fight a decisive battle? At that time, we will defend Wenzi Mountain and its surrounding embankments, and wait for the Song people to attack on the back, wouldn't it be easy to win? ”
Can you win easily? I think I really can! Unless the Song people don't want to open the Feng Mansion, let the Jin people release water to flood. Otherwise, the Song army, which was following behind everyone, could only attack hard-headed...... Even if they are afraid of death, their officials will force them to come!
When the time comes, the Jin soldiers occupy the favorable terrain, rely on the preset fortifications, and comfortably wait for the Song army to attack, so is it not to win lying down?
After thinking about it, the Jurchen generals around Wanyan Zongwang were all impressed by the resourcefulness of the second prince.
......
"Li Xianggong, there is Huazhou ahead, and if you walk dozens of miles, you will be the Sanshan pontoon bridge!"
The rider also flew to Li Gang's seat. The army of the Great Song Dynasty's pro-conquest camp, with about 160,000 soldiers and about 70,000 people, a total of 230,000 people, set out from around Ruisheng City outside Kaifeng Mansion on April 14. As of today, it has been four full days.
That's a huge army!
The infantry of the brigade marched in unison, carrying countless banners, vehicles, baggage, and cavalry covering the main force of the infantry army, as if covering the entire land, rumbling forward.
In order to make up the equipment, grain and grass, and rewards needed by these 230,000 horses, the imperial court of Kaifeng Mansion really made a bloody investment. Just to motivate the soldiers, a full 3.3 million yuan (including copper coins and silk silks) was prepared. And the military rations are prepared according to 50 days!
If Wanyan Zongwang wanted to deal with this Song army by encircling and cutting off supplies, he would have to wait until the hottest June......
Li Gang's Chinese army was preparing to enter Fengqiu County, which had long been looted by the Jin soldiers and burned all over the place. His brow was tightly locked, because all he had come to this place was such a devastation.
When the Jin soldiers came south, the Great Song Dynasty did not push the strong wall clearing, but the gold thief did not hesitate to "help" the Great Song Dynasty to complete a scorched earth clearing! As a result, huge wealth was looted and a large number of people were plundered....... Of course, there will be slaughter after massacre!
The prosperous land of Gyeonggi has been greatly damaged!
To make matters worse, the farmland around Kaifeng Province is almost barren...... It's already April, and the agricultural time has been missed, so there must not be much grain to harvest after the autumn, and the supply of Kaifeng Mansion has to rely on Caoyun, and Caoyun has been cut off for several months, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the transportation volume of previous years!
If the gold thief comes again in the autumn and winter of this year, Kaifeng Mansion may be very difficult to hold on...... From this point of view, the Great Song Dynasty must also take advantage of the time when they can still fight now, and severely damage the Jin soldiers, so that they dare to come again!
Thinking of this, Li Gang looked up at the direction of Huazhou from a distance, and said to himself: "Sanshan Bridge...... Will the gold thief be in a hurry to cross the bridge? ”
