"I asked Zhao Yi and his subordinates, and I have also seen those Song Guojiyi who escaped, it seems that Song's new army is not too weak. Their soldiers were well trained, well equipped, and the quality of their officers was quite good, and they were able to deal with them calmly when they were attacked by superior forces. If they hadn't taken the initiative to abandon the No. 1 fortress on the south bank, Zhao Yi's Fourth Division would have suffered heavy losses! ”

In the palace of the head of state in Tianjin, Wu Yixin, the head of state, was also listening to the report of the top level of the Republican Army.

It was his older brother Wu Yiyong who was reporting. Wu Yiyong is now a lieutenant general in the army, and he has also become the deputy commander of the military aircraft department of the capital, which is equivalent to the deputy chief of general staff.

He had just returned from Fort No. 1 on the South Bank, where the Fourth Division of the Army was stationed, and the purpose of his visit there was not only the "Battle of Fort No. 1" that had taken place before.

The results of the investigation surprised Wu Yiyong. Because the Song army showed amazing combat effectiveness in this battle. The Song troops remained calm when they were attacked by the superior forces of the 4th Division in the case of Bandu.

And their troops quickly set up a defensive formation of the chariot fort, using a specially built four-wheeled carriage with sandbags and artillery to form a defensive line. And relying on this improvised defensive line, five attacks of the 4th Division were repelled in succession! It was not until the sixth attack that the defense line was broken due to excessive consumption of troops.

Therefore, in this "Battle of No. 1 Fortress", the number of serious injuries and casualties of the Zhou army was also as high as more than 500 people. Although the losses of the opponent were far less than those of the opponent (about 1,500 men), it was clear that the Zhou army did not have much of the upper hand considering the numerical superiority of the Zhou army.

The room was silent, except for the sound of Wu Yijiu's fingers unconsciously tapping on the table.

"How are they better than the Golden Soldiers? How is it better than the Eastern Liao soldiers? ”

"It's hard to say, the golden soldiers have the strengths of the golden soldiers, the cavalry is powerful, and the hand-to-hand combat is also powerful. However, the battle is still inferior to the Song army, and they can't move the Song army's car fort. As for the Eastern Liao...... If it weren't for the cooperation of our artillery team, we wouldn't be able to defeat the Song army's car fort. The pikemen, crossbowmen, and sword and shield soldiers of the Song army were not weak. And there are many one-pound cannons, and the car fort is even more powerful, and even our six-pound cannons are a little difficult to hit after piling up sandbags. ”

Wu Yiyong slowly talked about his understanding of the Song army, in his opinion, the Song army was not an easy enemy to deal with - it is not surprising that the officers of the new army of the Song Dynasty are actually Wu Yiyong and their fellow brothers of the Zhou army officers. There may be "Sword Sect" and "Qi Sect", but it is definitely not a layman.

"Can we break the fortress defenses, then?" Wu Yijiu asked again.

Chen Jian took over the topic and said, "It's a bit difficult. The Song army's fortified defense line started from Dingbei Sankou in Dingzhou in the west, passed through Baozhou, Guangxin Army and Ansu Army in the east, entered the territory of Xiongzhou and then built along the Baigou River until the mouth of the three rivers, and then turned back to the south, built a fortress along the Yellow River, went directly to the territory of Cangzhou, and then crossed the Yellow River and built the three major fortresses of Nanpi, Qingchi and Yanshan. The entire defense line was about 500 miles long, and every 50 miles, a fortress would be built at a critical point, and a total of 100 fortresses were built. Most of the defenders of each fort had only one battalion, with a total strength of about 100,000. The number of troops is not large, but these forts are equipped with fortress cannons that can fire six to ten catties of projectiles, and each fort has at least 10 cannons, and some small cannons that can fire one catty projectiles......"

"Can't you walk between the two bastions?" The Feng of the Ministry of War Shangshu Zhang asked.

"According to the report of the Song army that defected to us," Wu Yijiu said, "in addition to the more than 100 battalions of new troops stationed in the Evolution Fortress, the Song army also has about 50 battalions of reserves, and maybe more reinforcements will come over!" ”

He paused, "It is true that our troops can pass between the two fortresses, but then we still have to fight a decisive battle with at least 50 battalions of the new army of the Song Kingdom. It is expected that the enemy will adopt tactics such as Chebao and Qiangzhai, and it is likely that there will be a long period of fierce engagement. ”

"Can't you win?" Wu Yijiu asked.

Chen Jian smiled: "How can you not win?" It's just that the number of dead and wounded is larger. However, the defenders of the hundred bastions on the border are likely to escape if their main battle fails.

We can't divide 100 chasers!

Moreover, most of the dozens of battalions of the Zhaoyi Army will run away with them. The Metropolitan Military Machinery Division estimated that they would retreat to the Daimyofu, Kaideokfu, Amway, and Weizhou, relying on the Yellow River and several cities that had been converted into bastions for defense. Stop us from crossing the river! It is more likely that they will retreat to the area around Kaifeng Mansion later, or even to Xiangyang Mansion after the Battle of Kaifeng. ”

Wu Yiyong took over the topic and said: "The 150 battalions of the Hebei Song State New Army plus the forty or fifty battalions of the Zhaoyi Army are the essence. If they are not all wiped out, and a considerable part of them are retreated to the Yangtze River valley, it will prolong the Civil War. If the Song court, which fled to Xiangyang Mansion, learned from the pain and enabled the retro party to carry out thorough reforms, then it is uncertain who will die in the future! ”

Wu Yijiu asked: "What is the military aircraft department going to do?" ”

Chen Jian said coldly: "We want to bypass the Hebei defense line of the Song army, attack Kaifeng Mansion with a strong force, and fight a decisive battle with the Hebei armies of the Song Kingdom going south under the city of Kaifeng Mansion!"

Wipe them all out in Kaifeng Prefecture!

If it is possible, the entire Song Dynasty will be taken prisoner, and the north and the south will be mixed in one fell swoop! ”

"Dominating the world?" Wu Yijiu's gaze was only focused on the direction of Kaifeng Mansion on the map of the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty.

The idea of destroying the main force of the new army of the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and then quickly taking Kaifeng Mansion is too attractive.

Although the core position of Kaifeng Mansion has been shaken in recent years, it is still the first city of the Great Song Dynasty. The huge Great Song Dynasty lived there! If you want to move to Xiangyang or Xuzhou, it is not so easy.

And it is different from the impregnable Xiangyang and Xuzhou.

Kaifeng is a city that cannot be defended! The city had no way to stock up enough food to cope with the Long Siege, nor could it withstand the onslaught of the Yellow River.

This city that must be saved but cannot be defended is the most ideal point for encirclement and reinforcement.

If the Great Song Dynasty ran to Xiangyang, then the Zhou army would be beyond the reach of the whip. Even if the army of the Zhou army was desperate to fight over, it would be impossible for the naval fleet to run upstream in the Han River.

As for the 24-angle fortress in Xuzhou...... No army would want to attack it. If the Great Song court slipped in, then the Zhou army would have no choice but to carry out a protracted siege.

However, considering that the vicinity of Xuzhou is the Huainan granary, I am afraid it is difficult to starve Xuzhou Daleng Fort.

Therefore, before the Great Song Dynasty made up its mind to leave the undefendable dilapidated castle of Kaifeng Mansion, it was undoubtedly the best way to wipe out the main force of the Song army and the imperial court.

"How?" Wu Yijiu asked, "Where to go from?" ”

Chen Jian said: "Go from places they don't think of and places where they can raise food along the way.

Because it is at least 1,000 miles from Tianjin to Kaifeng, our army will need to walk for 20 days at the earliest. The battle outside Kaifeng is likely to last a month. If we count it a little more generously, it will take at least two to three months for our army to complete the task.

And in these two or three months, transportation on the north-flowing Yellow River must not be possible. In addition to the fortresses, there are also a large number of rural docks, and the rural regimental training is also good.

Once our army invades, the Song people will be fortified and cleared, making it difficult for us to get supplies. And carrying food for thousands of miles is a taboo for soldiers! ”

In fact, carrying grain for thousands of miles is not necessarily a taboo, but the logistics and transportation capacity of the Zhou State by land is limited. It is impossible to transport enough grain and grass for at least 200,000 troops for at least two months to a distance of 1,000 miles without resorting to canals.

Therefore, raising food along the way will be the premise guarantee for the Zhou army to quickly take Kaifeng Mansion!

……

"Daddy, you really make your daughter worry about death."

"What to worry about? Your father and I take a battalion of fake soldiers everywhere, and you can still cause harm? ”

"But you're not the Führer now......"

"It's not the Führer, how tired is the Führer? It's official business all day long, and your third brother is still in a meeting, look, it's getting dark. ”

"But, but...... The third brother became the head of state, and the Great Song Dynasty and our family fought! The daughter and the king of the East China Sea are caught in the middle, can life be better? ”

Tianjin, on the north bank of the Jiehe River, in the courtyard of the martial arts, Wu Haogu was talking to his eldest daughter Wu Meiniang with a smile.

Wu Meiniang has been the princess of the East China Sea for several years, and lives in Fengguo with her husband Zhao Kai. The husband and wife have a lot of common topics, they are both new scholars, both teach in the Yuntai Academy, both like art and antiques, and they are both people who spend a lot of money...... In addition to art, antiques, academics, and extravagant spending, they also had a son, two daughters, and a total of three children. It can be regarded as an enviable fairy couple!

However, this fairy-like life was overshadowed by the war between the Song Dynasty and the Zhou State.

"Daddy," Wu Meiniang looked at her father with a smile, "Why don't you talk to the third brother...... If the coins are too small, you can add a little more. How about three million? It's negotiable, it's better than fighting! ”

Wu Haogu looked at his daughter, who gave birth to three dolls but maintained an excellent figure, and replied with a smile: "Meiniang, do you want to be a queen?" ”

"When what?" Wu Meiniang was stunned and looked at her father in a daze.

"Queen!" Wu Haogu smiled, "Do you want to be it?" ”

Wu Meiniang opened her mouth wide, staring at a pair of bright eyes, "Daddy, you, do you want to ......"

"It doesn't matter what I think," Wu Haogu waved his hand, "The key is whether you and the East Sea King want to?" ”

"Think...... Can you do it? Wu Meiniang looked at her father, and the expression on her face became extremely serious.

As the concubine of the prince of the Great Song Dynasty and the king of the feudal country, how could she not want to be the queen?

Wu Haogu nodded and smiled: "As long as you and the King of the East China Sea want to, I can let you get your wish."

But you can't be emperor and empress in Haizhou or Xuzhou, you have to go to Jiangnan. Later, the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty were each other's brotherly states. ”
