Chapter 432: Jumping Frog Tactics
Zhao Huan took the notebook handed over by Zhao Ying, read Yue Fei's bandit suppression log in Taihang Mountain in detail, and sighed again and again after reading it, it was really the golden-winged Dapeng Yue Pengju.
This open-and-hanging life has begun.
The bandits in Taihang Mountain, because of the complex mountain roads and the winter bandits, are actually extremely difficult to exterminate.
After the Yanmen Pass on the Hedong Road was lost, when the Hebei Road was defeated by 30,000 Jin troops, countless homeless people and defeated soldiers became an opportunity for the bandits in Taihang Mountain to grow.
Compared with the 170,000 people on Fuxi Mountain, the bandits in Taihang Mountain are much less, only 80,000.
But with only these 80,000 people, their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the 170,000 bandits in Fuxi Mountain.
Fuxi Mountain is a group of madmen, so the bandits in Taihang Mountain are a group of well-trained madmen.
Hedong Road is the place where Juntian is the beginning, and the pit filling action of Hebei Road, which is deeply popular with the people, is now the largest project, and people who are not willing to fall into the grass will go down the mountain to work to support their families.
Even if you don't have a skill, the Righteous Army Bazi Army in Taihang Mountain is also a pretty good place to go.
Those who are still on the mountain are the real bandits, and there are also some low-level officers of the forbidden army who have supplemented them, which has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of this group of bandits.
Yue Fei cooperated with tens of thousands of local rebels and tens of thousands of people to carry out a plan to suppress bandits in Taihang Mountain for several months.
The initial battle was extremely unfavorable, because of the lack of understanding of the terrain, Yue Fei's Hejian army and Wang Yan's Bazi army were ambushed several times.
Niu Gao was drunk and patrolled the mountains, and was almost killed by the people of Taihang Mountain.
Yue Fei was furious, and even lowered Niu Gao to the third level, with fifty military sticks, and then personally led the troops, defeated the army of 10,000 people of the Taihang Mountain bandits, and opened the gap.
Then the Geng brothers, as internal responses, infiltrated the enemy's camp in Taihang Mountain, and Yue Fei personally disguised himself as a personal guard, and entered the camp of the bandits in Taihang Mountain in the name of the following battle book, only to find out the details of the camp in Taihang Mountain.
and then defeated the Taihang Mountain bandits in one fell swoop.
However, these bandits were all habitual offenders, and some even had several lives in their hands, and the defeated bandits plunged into the mountains, posing a new threat to the Hedong Road and the Hebei Road.
Yue Fei and Wang Yan have been rooted in the Taihang Mountains for several months, and they have been constantly chasing the army of the defeated bandits, and with the cooperation of the local people, they finally killed the bandits and began to return to Beijing.
"System, do you think you're too salty? You see that Yue Fei is invincible, self-aiming! What's the use of what you say? Zhao Huan laughed.
[Oh.] 】
……
Zhao Huan was helpless, the system was not strong at all, he was used to it.
Yue Fei's self-aiming hanging is a stone hammer.
Because he was going to the Taihang Mountain camp to write a war book, he needed to enter the camp to investigate, and when Yue Fei left, he was actually recognized.
Yue Fei hit the bandits of Taihang Mountain with a slingshot, and only then could they be regarded as a safe retreat from the camp of Taihang Mountain.
The slingshot that really hit every shot, and the slingshot that didn't miss the shots even shot Yang Hu, the big boss of the Taihang Mountain camp, in one eye.
Zhao Huan put down the military report and saw the 30,000 Hejian soldiers and the eight-character army at the ferry.
Whether it is the seventy-two villages in Fuxi Mountain or the thirty-six caves in Taihang Mountain, in fact, in essence, there are still bandits and scattered forbidden troops, these forbidden troops are powerless when they are officers and soldiers, and they will cry for their fathers and mothers when they walk twenty miles a day.
But when you become a bandit, it's really first-class ferocious.
The reason why these bandits are the victim of one side cannot be eliminated for a long time is because the local army is even worse in combat effectiveness.
In the face of the Hejian Army, which is armed to the teeth, these bandits are actually a little inadequate.
The local people and the rebels were extremely cooperative in exterminating the bandits, and the people were gone.
The reason why Zhao Huan set off in autumn and suppressed bandits in winter was because the mountains were covered by heavy snow in winter, and the bandits had nowhere to escape, so it was convenient to gather and annihilate them.
After losing the time and people, and only the geographical advantage remained, in fact, in the face of the well-trained Hejian Flying Army, it was naturally like a local chicken and a dog, and it was about to collapse at the first touch.
The attrition of the flying army was not very large, only more than 130 soldiers died, and a large part of this was due to the difficulty of the mountain road in winter and accidentally slipped.
More than 300 people were wounded, and most of these wounded soldiers were frostbitten.
Zhao Huan saw a long line of soldiers waiting by the ferry, and there was only a cotton suit, not even a piece of armor.
Zhao Huan of the eight-character army has long heard of it, and it was built by Wang Yan.
Hebei Zhaofu Sidu commanded Wang Yan's troops, fought alone, and after resisting Yan Zongwang's attack, he led 8,000 people to disperse.
The people of the Eight Gates were kept behind closed doors in the big city, and they were beaten to Cizhou by Wanyan Zongwang with the tactics of jumping frogs.
What is Jumping Frog Tactics?
It is to avoid the fortified cities, avoid the seriously ill defensive cities, go all the way south from Yanjing, and after laying down several cities at strategic points, they will approach Bianjing and carry out a beheading operation.
After the beheading, the previous fortified city really became isolated and helpless, resisting to the death, but only besieging but not attacking, starving the people in the city to death.
Wanyan Zonghan fought in Taiyuan City for more than 200 days, but there was no way, because the location of Taiyuan City was too important, and Wang Yu, the defender of Taiyuan, was not unable to defend the city.
He once personally led his soldiers out of the city to fight, and beheaded the defected Yisheng army Jiedu envoy Li Siben, which stabilized the hearts of the people in Taiyuan City.
Wanyan Zongwang fought in Yanjing City for more than two months before persuading Guo Yaoshi, Wanyan Zongwang was undoubtedly a general, Yanjing was besieged, and he keenly felt that the officials and troops of the Great Song Dynasty were restricting each other.
And then went all the way south, the speed of the soldiers, in just three months, from Yanjing, to Bianjing.
Of course, Wanyan Zongwang didn't know that his behavior of bypassing the enemy's fortified city was once again shining under the hands of the American army in later generations, and even the right to invent it was taken away.
The only problem with this kind of jumping frog tactic is that if it is easy to say that it is easy to say that it is victorious, if it is a little careless, the battle does not go well or loses, then the army's morale is unstable, and problems such as food and grass supply will become extremely terrible.
This is also the reason why Wanyan Zongwang saw that Bianjing City could not be captured, and the Great Song Emperor was the kind of main battle faction whose head was pushed to the sky, so he had to withdraw his troops.
The leapfrog tactics were carried out more thoroughly by the Mongols, and Temujin once sent troops to besiege the central capital of the Jin state, and sent large armies to plunder in Hebei and Shandong.
After Wang Yan's subordinates were dispersed, in Taihang Mountain, they organized anti-Jin righteous soldiers, stabbed the country with a red heart, and swore to kill the gold thief.
Wang Yan has a prestige in Hedong, Hebei, and the establishment of the righteous army, the righteous army in Hedong and Hebei heard about this and took refuge in Wang Yan one after another.
If it weren't for Zhao Huan who sent Zong Ze to organize the Hebei Righteous Army, Yue Fei would also defect to Wang Yan.
In the normal historical line, Yue Fei also had some dirty encounters with Wang Yan.
And this filthy thing even almost cost Yue Fei's life.
Later, when Yue Fei ruled Ezhou, when Wang Yan's eight-character army returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, he passed through Ezhou, and Yue Fei set up a banquet to entertain Wang Yan, but Wang Yan passed through the door and did not enter.
In the fifth year of Shaoxing, Wang Yan was relieved of his military power by Qin Hui and others, who surrendered to the court, and Yue Fei once wrote to Zhao Gou and asked Zhao Gou to leave Wang Yan's life alive, so as to save Wang Yan.
But Wang Yan was still demoted to an observer, and Shaoxing died of depression in nine years at the age of fifty.
Even so, Wang Yan still did not reconcile with Yue Fei.
When Yue Fei was under Wang Yan, he relied on his martial arts and repeatedly took the initiative to attack the Jin people, but accidentally attracted the main force of the Jin soldiers to attack Wang Yan's main force, and Wang Yan almost died.
These two famous anti-gold generals who have never had a word of communication with each other since they separated from Taihang Mountain in their previous lives, stood side by side in the wind and snow, talking and laughing about something.
Zhao Huan walked up to the two generals with a smile on his face, and asked with a smile, "What are the two of you discussing?" So happy. ”
"See the official family." Yue Fei and Wang Yan turned over and dismounted, bowed their heads and said.
"The ministers and the king are all saying, and the officials have issued an edict to scold us." Yue Fei bowed his head and said.
