Chapter 440: Show off our military might

Zhao Huan was referring to Datong Mansion, which was their only possible target.

Jin Ren had already touched the ashes of his nose in Fengsheng Prefecture last year, and he would not go again this time.

Last time, only half of the military forts in Fengshengzhou were built, and the tens of thousands of troops of the Jin people were able to advance to the last layer, and finally retreated.

And this winter, although Fengsheng Prefecture is snowing heavily, but the construction of the military fort has not stopped, and the military fort in Fengsheng Prefecture, which is now fully completed, is a nightmare for the Jin people who have no good means to break the city.

The city defense facilities of Datong Mansion, the Jin people know this well, and they laid down the Datong Mansion and continued to plot the Yunzhong Road, which is the right choice for the Jin people.

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were ordered to march in the direction of Juyong Pass, with 30,000 Fei troops and 40,000 Yongding troops, and rushed towards Datong Mansion.

Zhao Huan frowned and looked at Kanyutu, thought for a long time and said, "How many troops do the Western Xia people have?" ”

Zhao Ying was stunned for a moment and said: "The Tangut people are all soldiers, and during the war, all men under the age of 60 are enlisted, and there are about one million Tangut people."

"In the eighth year of Daguan, the last time he attacked the Yongle City built by the Great Song Dynasty at the junction of Xia, Yin, and Youzhou, at most nearly 500,000 people were transferred at one time. On weekdays, 300,000 people can be pumped out. There are about 100,000 soldiers on standing. ”

Zhao Huan nodded when he heard this, and gave up his plan to order the seed division to attack from the Yongding Army Road.

This time, the Western Xia attacked Zhao Huan's troops to build the city of 20,000 at best, and the main force of the Western Xia people was not in this direction, so they went out rashly, in case of ambush, the northwest gate was lost, and their strategic goal of attacking the Jin people here would be interfered with.

In the face of its own conquest, this Jin country is not without any room for resistance!

At this time, the spring breeze and spring rain fell in Datong Mansion, and Yang Xinzhong looked at the combined forces of Xixia and Jin people under the city, and couldn't stop scratching his head.

"Grandfather, why didn't they attack the city?" Yang Xinzhong couldn't figure it out, after these Jin and Xixia people were stationed separately, there was no movement.

"Maybe it's an uneven distribution of spoils or a dispute." Yang Zongmin frowned and looked at the appearance of these two groups of people under the city, and said with a smile.

They didn't have reinforcements, and the front of Datong Mansion was open, and some reinforcements had already been discovered by the scouts who had been scattered.

Now waiting under the city, there should be a dispute over who will die first.

Yang Zongmin shook his head again and again and said: "The most important thing in defending the city is whether the supplies are thorough, and the second is to prevent the traitors from opening the door, do these two things well, and wait until Captain Yue and General Han lead the troops to kill, and go out of the city to attack them together, you can break the enemy." ”

"The most urgent question now is how to build the city of Dongshengwei?"

"If we wait to advance, the Xixia people will definitely retreat, and if we wait to build a city, they will definitely block it, that is, they will forcibly build a good city, and a lonely city on the grassland is also easy to be isolated.

"Is it a hundred thousand people stationed in the city?" Yang Zongmin frowned, he was not thinking about retreating from the enemy, but about strategic planning in the future.

Dongshengwei must be built, otherwise Datong Mansion will be the same as now, and there is a possibility of being beaten at any time, which is not conducive to the development of the two wings centered on Yanjing.

This is a big no-no in strategy.

But Yang Zongmin didn't think of a good way to coerce and lure?

How many years have the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia come and go over the years?

What virtues do the Western Xia people, Yang Zongmin knows very well, they are foxes on the grassland, and they can't catch them at all.

"This battle is the battle of the Great Song Dynasty." Yang Zongmin sighed, looking outside the city and didn't know what to do.

The Battle of Lingwu, Duan Xi in the Eastern Han Dynasty broke the Dongqiang people in Lingwu Valley, and later used the Battle of Lingwu to describe the key battle of defeating foreign races.

And the battle of Dongshengwei Jiancheng is as important as the battle of the Eastern Han Dynasty Lingwu Dapo Qiang people.

It is a key strategic layout that has shifted from strategic defense to strategic offensive, and if it is impossible to build a city, the follow-up battle plan will not be carried out at all.

Yang Zongmin's doubts soon became a reality.

The Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia and Jin people launched a tug-of-war between Dongshengwei and Datong Mansion, and the army advanced, the Western Xia and Jin people scattered and retreated, and the soldiers came to invade the city.

Thanks to the durable horse like the inferior horse, I didn't suffer any big losses.

"It can't be like this. We can stand it, but the people can't stand the toss back and forth, and some of the people in the labor relief prison don't dare to go. Yue Fei looked at Kanyu Tu and said to Han Shizhong, Yang Xinzhong, and Yang Zongmin.

In the tug-of-war back and forth, the losses were not very large, and the main purpose of the enemy was to harass, and this kind of harassment, the soldiers were better, and the people were a little tired.

Dong Shengwei is at the gate of Yunzhong Road to Hetao, if the city is built, Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Western Xia people, will be in danger.

Because the river is all grassland, there is no city to defend at all.

"Does Captain Yue have any good strategies?" Yang Zongmin shook his swivel chair and leaned in front of Kanyutu.

Yue Fei's hand drew a line on the map and said, "From here, to here, nine hundred and forty-nine miles away." At the current speed, you can go from Dongshengwei to Xingqing Mansion in three days! ”

The starting point of this line is Dongshengzhou, and the end point of this line is Xingqingfu, the capital of Western Xia.

"Alone in depth, soldiers are taboo." Yang Zongmin shook his head and said, this strategy is a bit imaginative, and the Great Song Dynasty has never had this kind of play.

"We now have horses, carrying a few days' rations, and attacking the enemy must be saved, so that the Xixia people can completely shrink, otherwise the construction of the city can only be dragged on like this, and finally it will be over." Yue Fei said with a sigh.

The more he looked at the map, the more likely it became, there was little rain in spring, the road was not very muddy, and if it dragged back until early summer, such a surprise attack would become difficult.

"The Great Song Dynasty didn't have such a way of playing before, but now the time and place are favorable, even if you can't conquer Xingqing Mansion, you can let the Xixia people have a long memory!" Yue Fei said.

"If you are surrounded by people, it will be very bad, and I don't think it is appropriate." Yang Zongmin still said.

Yue Fei thought for a while and said, "Then leave it to the official family to decide." ”

When Zhao Huan received Yue Fei's military report, he frowned and looked at it for a long time, Yue Fei's plan was an excellent plan, this strategy of a thousand-mile march was not for attacking the city at all, there was only one purpose, an armed march.

In Yue Fei's words, show off our military might!

Show your strength to the Tangut and the Tangut kings, and let them choose their own position in the battle between the Great Song and the Jin.

Zhao Huan approved this order, in his opinion, it would be a good strategy to fight anyway, otherwise Dong Shengwei would be so stiff, it would not be a matter.

Yue Fei did even better than Zhao Huan thought.

After Yue Fei received the order, he took the Hejian Fei Army, taking advantage of the good weather, and rushed towards Xingqing Mansion, and this journey of thousands of miles was frequent!

conquered Yanfang and Yihe one after another, attacked Shuofang City from Qingdamen, turned from Shuofang City, turned to Hangjin City, and returned the same way after the soldiers went straight to Wuhai, not because Yue Fei didn't want to drag the Yellow River all the way south and approach Xingqing Mansion, but because the official family gave him a month.

The most dangerous thing about thousands of miles is to be surrounded by the enemy, but Yue Fei's deterrence-based battle, fighting in one place, will not stay for too long at all.

But Zhao Huan still only gave Yue Fei a month, and the counselor of the Privy Council and Yang Zongmin judged that if it took more than a month, there would be danger.

And this trip, a total of eighteen counties and two states were laid.

When Yue Fei, who returned with a full load, returned to Yunzhong Road, it was exactly a month.

"The Tanguts retreated and fled in a hurry." Yang Xinzhong watched Yue Fei's return from Dongshengwei's city, and welcomed Yue Fei and his party into the city with a smile.

On this trip, the Tangut people were almost scared to death.

When did the people of the Central Plains also play this trick of turning thousands of miles?

And it has already hit Wuhai, less than three hundred miles away from Xingqing Mansion!

Yue Fei took the kettle handed over by Yang Xinzhong, and said with a smile: "It's better to stay in some places for a long time, or at least you can hit Pingluo, the combat effectiveness of the Western Xia people is vulnerable." ”
