Chapter 255: Heshuo Forbidden Army
Mozhou.
Without waiting for the army to arrive at the city, the Henghai Navy undertook the envoy to know the military affairs of Xiongzhou, and Yang Weizhong, the commander of the left army, led the crowd to personally go out of the city ten miles to meet him.
"Yang Weizhong, 75 in force, 71 in intelligence, 35 in politics, 81 in command, and 90 in health."
Yang Weizhong is this person, Zhao Hao knows a thing or two, he fought bravely against Western Xia back then, made great achievements, and won the trust of Tong Guan, so he was recommended to lead the Heshuo forbidden army.
This person joined the army in Huanzhou as a young man, and he can be regarded as a good general if he can mix with the military attache of the fourth grade. It's just that this person's black history, I'm afraid only Zhao Hao knows at this time, and this is a later story.
Zhao Hao and his entourage arrived at Mozhou City, settled the soldiers and horses, and then entered the city to rest.
It's night, Mozhou Mansion Ya Nei Hall.
Tong Guan sat in the middle, Zhao Hao sat aside, Cai Mao and Cai You were on the left and right, and then there was the Seed Master Dao and the Seed Master, and then Yang Weizhong, and no one else.
Zhao Hao took the lead in asking: "General Yang, how is the reality of the Heshuo Forbidden Army?" ”
Of the 100,000 troops, the Heshuo Forbidden Army accounted for 60,000, which was the main force of the Northern Expedition, and the Heshuo Forbidden Army had been guarding the Hebei border for nearly 200 years, so it must be familiar with the military terrain here and the virtual and real conditions of the Liao people.
Yang Weizhong was originally in the Western Army, and this time he was ordered to lead the Heshuo Forbidden Army, and it was only seven or eight days since he arrived, but after all, the general situation should have been understood.
Hearing Zhao Hao's question, Yang Weizhong's expression became gloomy, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "The situation here is really going to disappoint Xuan Shuai and the county duke...... Far inferior to the Western Army, it is difficult to take on the big responsibility. ”
Everyone's faces changed slightly, and they all looked at Yang Weizhong with puzzled looks.
"In the land of Heshuo, there has been no movement in the past two hundred years, and the generals of the Heshuo forbidden army are arrogant and lazy, and they do not train the enemy, and they have no use. Most of the military rations in the warehouse are coarse grains, and they are less than half of the book value. More importantly, there is a shortage of military weapons, although they are supported in Taiyuan, Daimyo, and Kaide, but the armor equipment is still insufficient, or not applicable. ”
What?
Except for Er Cai, the rest of the people's faces changed drastically.
The army is negligent in training; The military rations were less than half of the book and were mostly coarse grains; Weapons, armor, bows, crossbows, arrows, etc., are all lacking or damaged, and there is no reserve of necessary equipment for digging trenches, siege cities, and defending cities.
Is this still a forbidden army? This is not the case with the local army.
Zhao Hao finally knew why the Northern Expedition in history was dominated by the generals of the Western Army who beat the Western Xia people to cry and cry their mothers, and some of the elite troops of the Western Army participated, including the famous Bai Zhan soldiers, who would lose miserably in the face of the Liao people who were already declining.
Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, took the wrong guideline of surrendering and not allowing killing, which was one of them; As the main army, the Heshuo forbidden army is vulnerable, and if you want anything, it is the second; Tong Guan's escape from the battle caused what was originally just a small defeat to become a defeat like a mountain, which was the third.
Behind the army, there are hundreds of thousands of people, who are constantly transporting grain and grass to Hejian Mansion, as long as they are urged, they can keep up, after all, in this war, in terms of logistics, the Song army has been fully prepared.
As for weapons, armor, bows and crossbows, etc., it is really not possible to step up the transfer from other places, and the system armor shop can make a little bit of it, and it will not cost much merit points, as long as it is good to keep it secret.
The most critical issue now is the question of the fighting quality of the Heshuo Forbidden Army. Let a group of people who have been out of battle for a long time, have no morale and will to fight, facing the Liao people who are trapped and fighting is tantamount to death, and the most important thing is that once there is a large number of losses, it will inevitably collapse, and the entire formation will be disrupted, even if the western army is strong, it will be led astray, so that the whole army will be defeated.
However, if you give up the Heshuo Forbidden Army, you will rely on the 20,000 Western Army and the Jingshi Forbidden Army with average combat effectiveness to fight a decisive battle with the last male soldiers of the Liao.
First of all, the Song Dynasty was nameless, and it belonged to the betrayal of the alliance - the Tanyuan Alliance, which was untenable in a narrow sense of morality.
Secondly, for the Liao people, once defeated, it is a disaster to destroy the country, and they will inevitably fight to the death, and for the Song army, victory is nothing more than a rich reward, and if they are defeated, as long as they run fast to save their lives, it is nothing.
Under such circumstances, if there is no absolute superiority in troops and excellent fighting qualities, even if the command is proper and even if it wins, it will be the kind that kills 1,000 enemies and loses 800 of itself.
After listening to Yang Weizhong's report, everyone fell into deep thought, especially Tong Guan's face obviously showed pessimism.
Tong Guan has been fubian for 20 years, and the battles he has fought are basically smooth sailing, that is, when his own side has the upper hand in terms of morale, troops, equipment, and combat effectiveness, he will not go out of the basket and win steadily.
Now when he hears such a scene from the Heshuo Forbidden Army, how can he not count it in his heart?
Zhao Hao stood up and said in a deep voice: "General Yang, please take this official to the Heshuo Forbidden Army Camp to have a look." ”
……
The camp of the forbidden army in Heshuo is brilliantly lit and bright.
At the gate, several guards were leaning crookedly on the doorpost, chatting and laughing.
Zhao Hao and Yang Weizhong walked side by side, followed by Fang Baihua, Wu Song, Yang Zaixing, Lu Junyi, Liang Hongyu, Shi Jin, Hua Rong and Zhang Qing and other brocade-clothed guards, and came straight to Yuanmen.
Those guards, until Zhao Hao and the others approached, did they restrain the hippie smile on their faces, and bowed forward with a slightly perfunctory expression and movements: "I've seen all the generals!" ”
Yang Weizhong shook his head, snorted coldly, and was about to enter, but heard Zhao Hao shout in a deep voice: "Slow! ”
The guards were about to stand up straight, and when they heard Zhao Hao's voice was not good, they hurriedly bowed down again.
"Didn't you have dinner?" Zhao Hao asked.
The guards looked stunned, and someone subconsciously replied, "Eat." ”
Zhao Hao shouted: "Since you have dinner, why are you so weak to speak?" How can you fight on the battlefield in this way? ”
Several of the guards stole a glance at each other, each with a disapproving expression in their eyes.
"Salute again, and be louder, or you will be punished!" Zhao Hao shouted.
Several people were shocked by Zhao Hao's expression, and finally got up reluctantly, bent down again, and shouted in unison: "I've seen all the generals!" ”
Zhao Hao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Next time, if there is a dereliction of duty, a person who chats on duty will be punished with thirty rods!" ”
"Whoa!"
Zhao Hao snorted coldly, and then led the crowd to continue to move forward.
Walking into the camp, Zhao Haocai opened his eyes.
I saw that the camp was full of people coming and going, like a vegetable market, full of sounds of fighting and laughing and scolding, some people were kicking and juju, chatting around a group of people, and some people were naked, standing at the door of the tent to take a bath, and from several tents came the shouts of gambling dice.
Such a scene would be normal if it were ordinary, but now that the war is imminent, it is inconceivable to be so lax and casual.
Yang Weizhong had a helpless expression on his face, and bowed his hand to Zhao Hao: "Let the county prince smile, and the last general must rectify it well." ”
But I saw a few shirtless forbidden soldiers, carrying wine gourds, squirting wine, walking and shaking, passing in front of Zhao Hao and others without care, and some even glanced back at Zhao Hao and scolded in a low voice: "Where did the dog come from to be an official, running to the barracks to hunt birds at night?" ”
Looking carefully, you can see that those drunks, dressed in white flowers, are just like the national football team, with a standard white chicken figure, where there is a little bit of the strength and toughness that a military man should have.
"Help, help......"
Just when Zhao Hao's eyes were full of anger, suddenly a terrible woman's scream came.
Zhao Hao's expression changed greatly: "Go over and take a look!" ”
After speaking, he held down the hilt of the sword, and took a few vertical leaps in succession, like flying away, Yang Weizhong and the others were all good at it, and followed closely behind Zhao Hao.
Soon, Zhao Hao arrived at the noisy place, and couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of him.
I saw a military man, shirtless, carrying a young woman in red on his shoulder, the woman was struggling desperately, and the soldiers around him looked around, laughing one by one.
"Brute, let me go, you brute......" the woman cried desperately.
"Haha, such a beautiful little lady...... If you let it go...... Isn't it a tyrannical thing...... Lao Tzu will make the little lady want to die tonight...... Cannot help doing something...... Uh......" The soldier was drunkenly burping and smiling cruelly.
"Marquis Chen Yu, it seems that a few generals have come to patrol the camp, let her go first." Someone next to him persuaded him.
"Fart!" The guy snorted with wine and scolded nonchalantly, "This woman is a prostitute who spends a lot of money, Lao Tzu gave Lao BAO five times of money, and let it go before he started playing, who will pay Lao Tzu's money?" Lao Tzu didn't steal or rob, could it be that the general patrolling the camp paid Lao Tzu's money? ”
Hahaha!
There was a burst of laughter from the Song soldiers, many people cheered, and the entire military camp was in chaos.
"Old BAO hurt me...... I'm a courtesan who doesn't sell myself...... Let me go...... I'll pay you money......" the woman cried.
That Chen Yuhou sneered: "What kind of courtesan and dancer, not all of them are sold, Lao Tzu gave money to play!" ”
In addition to another round of enthusiastic cheers and evil laughter, the woman almost fainted from crying.
"General Yang!" Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
The chaotic Heshuo forbidden army looked up at the big tent one after another, only to see their main general Yang Weizhong and a young general coming side by side, followed by a large group of generals in armor, coming with a murderous aura.
The crowd was intimidated by the momentum of the comer, and gradually quieted down.
Zhao Hao's face was pale, and he walked towards the drunken Yu Hou step by step, and an invisible murderous aura rose into the sky, making the Yu Hou couldn't help but show a look of horror in his eyes, and hurriedly put the woman who was struggling on his shoulders to the ground.
"Will ...... The general ......, "That Marquis Yu's drunkenness has already woken up for three minutes.
Zhao Hao glanced at him coldly, turned back to Yang Weizhong beside him and asked, "What is the crime of robbing the people's girls and disturbing the barracks?" ”
"Kill according to the law!" Yang Weizhong replied.
"Good!"
Zhao Hao's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he drew his sword and pointed directly at the Marquis Yu.
That Yu Hou felt a chill in his heart, and then gritted his teeth and drew his sword, roaring angrily: "Lao Tzu paid the money, and the crime will not be ...... death."
Before he finished speaking, the cold light flashed, and the throat of the Marquis Yu was cut open by the long sword, and blood gushed out, like a blooming peony.
"You...... You ......" The Yu Hou clutched his throat and fell unwillingly.
Wow!
The forbidden army around them was in chaos, showing anger and disobedience, and there was a riot.
