Chapter 661: Jedi Counterattack
Zhengguo, Luoyi, three hundred miles to the west, Hanyang City.
After the war, the city walls were broken, the houses collapsed, the city was depressed, and among the broken walls, the corpses of the Zheng and Song armies that had not had time to clean up were lying horizontally and vertically, densely packed and extremely numerous, and it was obvious that there was a fierce battle in Hanyang City.
Previously, Xing Yike personally led the army, fought to the death, and recaptured Hanyang City with his flesh and blood.
In order to recapture the city, the Zheng army was watered with blood, and the corpses were piled up into a mountain, and finally, after more than half a year of repeated defeats, the Zheng army won a battle, perhaps, it was only a tragic victory, but it still made the Zheng army feel a sense of bitterness.
Standing on the broken city wall, Xing Yike looked at the scarred soldiers below who were supporting each other, or the corpses lying on the cold ground, and there was unspeakable pain in his heart.
The tiger fell to Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, the phoenix was not as good as a chicken, Zheng Guo was the leader of the northern alliance, but he was attacked by Chen and Song, and in half a year, he lost a large amount of territory, six or seven cities in a row in the west, and hundreds of thousands of innocent people were slaughtered by Song Qi!
Zheng Guo's life and death were at stake, if it weren't for Yan Guo's secret help, Chen Guo made a truce in the east, he personally led the army, and Ju Wentai converged, the army had the advantage, and Zheng Jun took revenge with a mortal heart and successfully recaptured Hanyang City.
Otherwise, Song Qi and Meng Kuo led the army to attack Yueyan City, which was hundreds of miles away, and I was afraid that it would be another tragic battle, and in the end, Song Qi would slaughter the city again.
Xing Yike, at present, there is one wish, even if he dies in battle, as long as Song Qi is captured alive, for the people of Zheng Guo who died in vain!
The Zheng army fought fiercely and had strong willpower, and the people of all counties and cities always insisted on living and dying with the city.
Zheng Song is a feud, and it is understandable how tragic and cruel the battlefield fighting between the two sides is.
However, the Song army attacked the city all the way and paid a heavy price, in order to retaliate against Zheng Guo, Song Qi carried out a large-scale massacre of the Zheng army who resisted stubbornly, as long as it was for Zheng Guoren, the old and weak, women and children were not spared!
It's just crazy, and it seems to have the intention of completely erasing the people of Zheng Guo.
Fortunately, today's Jedi counterattack finally achieved victory, as long as Yan Guo continues to support, all the main forces of the Zheng army will converge, and in the face of the Song army, they may not be in a weak position.
In order to take revenge and capture Song Qi for life, how many casualties did the Zheng army pay, Zheng Guo will definitely fight to the death with the Song State in a state of not destroying the country.
Xing Yike knew very well that after the attack of the Chen and Song coalition forces, Zheng Guo lost a lot of land and lost hope of fighting for hegemony, however, he had to pull a cushion when he died.
Revenge, revenge, taking advantage of the current good opportunity, Zheng Guo will not let the Song army be happy, even if both sides are defeated, and the vassal states will be cheapened in the future, they will have revenge.
Outside the city of Hanyang, forty miles away, in the temporary barracks of the Song army!
A few days ago, Song Qi and Meng Kuo, who had withdrawn from the Bishan area and returned with his army, converged, trying to take advantage of the assembly of the two major armies and use Hanyang City as a bridgehead to prepare for a comprehensive counterattack against the Zheng army!
Unexpectedly, Ju Wentai led the army to attack the barracks, and the two did not know that the other party was deceitful, so they tried their best to deal with Ju Wentai.
After half a day of hard fighting, all 30,000 Song troops in the city were annihilated, and none of them escaped.
After that, Ju Wentai led the army to evacuate alternately and stationed in the west of Hanyang City, facing the Song army camp from afar.
In the past few months, Meng Kuo and Song Qi led their legions, conquered cities, and occupied a lot of Zheng territory, and made huge profits.
However, the battle of Zheng Guo was also the most difficult and hardest war that the two participated in all the wars!
The combat effectiveness of the Zheng army is comparable to that of the Song army, but the willpower is very strong, if it were not for the Chen army in the east, the Zheng army is insufficient and in a weak position, and the two will not attack three hundred miles away from the imperial city of Zheng State.
In the battle with the Zheng army, the opponent often fought until the last moment, and the last man, sometimes, the young and middle-aged laborers in the city, would all die in battle, and the Song army would break the city.
Despite the powerful mechanical corps and the ability to siege the city, the Song army still suffered a lot of casualties, and the battles for defending the city, street battles, attic battles, ambush battles outside the city, and marching battles continued.
In large and small battles, the Song army suffered casualties, often unexpectedly, in order to vent the anger in his heart, after several breakdowns, Song Qi adopted a policy of slaughtering the city, not only did not deter the Zheng army, on the contrary, attracted the other side to resist more stubbornly, even if all the battle was killed, never surrendered.
What's worse is that the commander of the Zheng army, Ju Wentai, a famous general of the Liang State, adopted the strategy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls in the war, and before the battle, he would often move all the defensive equipment of the residents outside the city into the city, and then set fire to all the houses outside the city, so that the Song army did not have any cover to use when it arrived.
The ruthlessness of the means and the firmness of the mind have never been seen by Song Qi!
Therefore, since Ju Wentai led the cavalry of the Liang State to surrender to the Zheng State, the war of the Song army on the Western Front has become more and more difficult!
There is Ju Wentai, a famous general in the army, Zheng Jun is more and more not afraid of life and death, before each battle, often swear to live and die with the city, after the first battle, indeed fulfill the oath, the Song army often kills a thousand enemies, self-loss of eight hundred.
At the beginning, the two major armies of the Song army, nearly 500,000 troops, seized a large area of territory of Zheng on the Western Front, but they still suffered heavy casualties, at least more than 100,000 veterans were killed in battle, and they could not be effectively replenished.
Chen temporarily ceased troops in the east and west, and Yan secretly supported Zheng Guo, Zheng gathered the whole country's forces, transferred the western front, and prepared to carry out a counteroffensive and recover the lost territory.
In today's battle, the opponent won the initial victory and annihilated 30,000 veterans of the Song army.
The Song army's combat effectiveness is not weak, and the mechanical corps is a magic weapon to kill the enemy, but unfortunately every fierce battle, the Zheng army has a heart of death, even though the casualties in the war are great, but never flinched, often causing the Song army to be forced to hand-to-hand combat.
Zheng Guoren, this ruthlessness, is very rare among the vassal states.
Song Qi, as a general and an enemy of Zheng Guo, naturally knew that Zheng Guo was ruthless, and in order to eliminate the tiger ben of Zhao State, Su Qin resolutely broke off the Longjiang River and eliminated nearly 300,000 tiger ben in order to eliminate the tiger ben of Zhao State.
In order to block the Song army today, Zheng Guoren's ruthlessness was shown again, and the Song army knew that it would be difficult to defeat Zheng Guo.
What's more, the Song army is getting smaller and smaller, and it is far away from the hinterland of the Song State, the military food is very difficult, and the situation will become more and more difficult.
However, in the face of the menacing Zheng army, Song Qi was not only frightened, nor did he have the intention of retreating, on the contrary, after learning that Zheng Guo had exhausted all his efforts to reach the Western Front, they were eager to fight with the main army of Zheng Army.
So as to completely solve all problems and control the Song army to a minimum!
After all, today's battle has sounded the alarm, proving that the Zheng army is not vulnerable, and it is not impossible to defeat the Song army and regain the lost territory.
Therefore, if the war is protracted and stalemate, with the fighting spirit of the Zheng army and the people of Zheng State, the situation will become more and more unfavorable to the Song army.
Faced with this situation, Meng Kuo persuaded Song Qi and suggested that he temporarily avoid the edge of Zheng's army, suspend his troops and rectify his military horses, and choose a suitable time to fight again.
Unexpectedly, the Song army felt that the fighter plane was fleeting, and it must not be suspended, even if the Song army was newly defeated and lost 30,000 elites, it still had an absolute advantage, and there was no need to avoid the edge of the Zheng army.
Meng Kuo felt that Chen Guo had a truce, and Yan Guo secretly helped Zheng Guo, allowing Zheng Guo, a country similar to a trapped beast, to break out in the last hideous before it perished. Fight with Song Guoli to the end.
At the end of the war, the Song State also won a crushing victory.
The Yan State lying in the north, and the Chen State in the east, will definitely release their minions and tear the Song Kingdom to pieces with sharp teeth and sharp claws.
Even if it is not clear why Yan and Chen suddenly reneged on the alliance and abandoned the Song State to support the Zheng State, Meng Kuo still felt that at this moment, there must be a truce, and there must be no more fighting, no more fighting, and no chaotic victory or defeat, and the Song State's idea of fighting for hegemony may be broken.
Moreover, before he led the army to leave the Bishan Plain, the armies of Yan and Song always insisted, attack, I don't know whether the Yan army is real or not, retreat, if the Yan army attacks the Song State, what preparations will be made, for a while, it is really a dilemma.
Even later, when he heard that Yuan Muchun led the princes to the Yan and Song borders, the Yan army was still elusive, and it seemed that there was a suspicion of secretly attacking the Song army.
He fought with the Yan army many times, and even the generals of the Yan army were cunning, so he didn't dare to take it lightly at all, let alone put most of his forces on attacking Zheng Guo and ignoring the existence of Yan State.
Meng Kuo felt that the situation was indeed serious, and it was not clear whether Song Qi realized the existence of the problem, but judging from the current performance, he either did not realize the seriousness of the problem, or did not take Yan Guo in his eyes!
However, both of them are generals who can fight well, and their morale is extremely high, even though the Yan army began to haunt the Song and Yan borders, and had a plan to attack the Song army, after Song Qihua persuaded him to speak and talk, Meng Kuo's will was shaken, and he agreed to hit the Zheng army first, and then look for an opportunity to take revenge on the Yan army!
It's a pity that during the planning of the combat deployment, news came from Kaifeng, asking the two to stop fighting with the Zheng army, and they were in a state of truce, and they were not allowed to go to war easily without an order from the imperial court.
Hearing this news, Song Qi instantly blew up his hair, secretly scolding what bullshit order, the Chinese ministers of the court, do you know the situation on the front, how did you start arbitrarily interfering in the military affairs of the front.
If it weren't far away, Song Qi would ride back in person and ask why the other party gave the order.
However, when he saw that the letter was signed by Lin Shuying, Song Qi muttered secretly, how could he make such a decision, could it be that someone in the DPRK and China was bribed by Zheng Yan and Lin Shuying, so he made such a confused decision.
With his palm slammed on the desk, Song Qi handed the letter to Meng Kuo and said unhappily: "The Chinese ministers of the imperial court, is your hand stretched too long, and you have begun to meddle in military affairs!" ”
The general is outside, the military order is not subject to it, Song Qi knows Lin Shuying's character, military affairs, rarely interferes, the generals are outside, she will completely hand over the military power to the other party.
Today, he received the news that the court asked for a truce, and Song Qi really couldn't understand it!
However, since he decided to continue attacking Zheng Guo, Song Qi did not intend to carry out the orders from the court!
