On the west bank of the Yellow River, the forward battalions of the generals of the New Army of the Great Song Dynasty and Hebei almost forced the Zhou army to go down.

After Lu Yihao agreed to ask for money for the camps and allocated a "down payment" of two and a half percent. The main force of the huge Hebei New Army, under the supervision of Yao Gu, acted quite quickly.

I have to say that the business level of these new army businessmen is still there!

10 generals of the new army, with the first general of the Xihe River at the end of the curved general, rushed to Dacheng County, and after quickly completing the deployment, then marched step by step, approaching the Yellow River.

In the end, Kaifeng and Xihe will be the left wing, Shuofang and Daimyo will be the right wing, the two generals of Yanyan will be in the center, the two generals of Hejian will be stationed in Dacheng as the apse, the first will be Shuofang, and the fourth two cavalry of Zhaoyi will be mobile, and a good formation has been put in a good formation.

The light cavalry sentinels of the Song army patrolled back and forth between the Song army's Dazhai and Diaoyutai Village and Qingzhou City to strictly prevent the Zhou army from breaking into the hinterland of Hebei from two places.

And the Zhou army did not seem to have the idea of breaking into the hinterland of Hebei in a big way, but like the Song army, he put on a posture of fighting in a daze. And the soldiers were divided into two roads, all the way to the direction of Dacheng, and after encountering the vanguard of the Song army, they began to dig trenches and repair the village, and there was no intention of starting a decisive battle.

On the other hand, the Zhou army besieged the city of Cheongju. However, he did not immediately attack the city, but dug trenches on three sides outside Cheongju Castle (Cheongju Castle faced the Yellow River) and put on a posture of besieging the fortress.

When the news came, the generals of the Hebei New Army were greatly boosted. What they fear most is a quick battle! I can't beat it; Second, there is no way to continue to make money......

Now crossing the Yellow River and spreading between Dacheng County - Diaoyutai Village - Qingzhou City, the number of Zhou troops is significantly greater than that of the Song army in this area!

Counting the defenders of Diaoyutai Village and Qingzhou City, the number of Song troops is also about 60,000. And I'm afraid the number of Zhou's army can't be defeated by 100,000!

In addition, the firepower of the Zhou army was also stronger than that of the Song army. People's field artillery can hit 6 or 4 catties of shells. And the Song army's 400-kilogram cannon could only hit 1-kilogram projectile.

Although there were also some heavy artillery, the number was too small and the mobility was too poor to be compared with the Zhou artillery at all.

If the Zhou army chooses to attack the main force of the Song army in the east of Dacheng County first, and then attack Qingzhou City. Then the 10 generals of the Hebei Song Army will inevitably lose the battle!

The old camp of Hejian Fu Road to pacify the envoy was also transferred from the Sanhekou fortress to the county seat of Dacheng. The location of this operation is the jurisdiction of Hejian Fu Road, and the cultivation of the master is the most suitable commander of the three armies.

As soon as he arrived at the front, he immediately convened a military council of the armies. Unlike the last military conference presided over by Lu Yihao, this answer to the military conference is really to discuss how to fight...... In other words, how to make the business bigger and longer!

In the military tent, the huge wooden map has been densely painted with various symbols, and the numbers of each general are also indicated in small block letters next to it.

The old minister was wearing a cotton robe and a cloth belt, pointing to the formation of the two armies on the wooden map.

“…… Although the Eastern Thief Army is numerous, they are not willing to come to gnaw at our hard village, but choose to besiege Qingzhou City. This is to force us to take the initiative and then use the field battle to decide the winner! There are many thieves in the east, firearms are good, and the cavalry is even more victorious than us. Fortunately, Cheongju Chengjian will be fine for a while!

…… A certain method is to move the hard village forward as much as possible, paste it on the camp of the eastern thieves, and then repair it to Cheongju City little by little, so that the eastern thieves will not be able to attack the city with all their might. As long as Cheongju City can hold out until next spring and not lose, we have the possibility of winning. ”

After the seed master finished talking about his plan, there was a low sound of head-to-ear communication in the public hall. Whether it was a veteran general like Yao Gu and Seed Division, or a new army general like Qu Duan and Wang Yuan, they all showed satisfied expressions.

The command of the old breed is still reliable. It is a fool to fight hard with the 100,000 thieves on the opposite side! The capital is exhausted, where can the big guy get rich?

It's better to force it up. Even if the hard village can't bear it, everyone can have a chance to retreat slowly.

As for what happens after the delay until next spring, let's talk about it then!

Maybe the imperial court trained more new troops to replenish Hebei, or maybe the imperial court reached a peace agreement with the eastern thieves and paid millions of dollars......

"Boom, boom, boom......"

When the generals were about to compliment the planter, there was a sudden sound of muffled thunder rolling outside.

Today is a beautiful sunny day, the sun is hanging high, how can it be thundering?

The generals immediately realized what was going on, and their faces became solemn.

The seed master Dao looked very calm, touched his beard, and said with a smile: "It must be the East Thief who is firing the cannon...... Let's see! ”

Seeing that the seed master was calm, the generals were also relieved. They all followed the seed master to go out of the Shuai Si station in Dacheng County, and then turned over their horses, took their entourage, and went to the front of the cannon sound together.

The artillery bombardment was the headquarters of Wu Yixin's 3rd Division. The sappers of the 3rd Division have just completed a fort at the front and set up a 12-pound cannon that was just transported from the rear, and they are bombarding the barracks of the Song army on the opposite side!

In addition, there was a whole brigade of infantry, lined up on both flanks of this fort, waiting to engage the Song army, which was "forced out" of the camp by artillery shelling.

But they were destined to come for nothing.

Because the camp of the Song army had long considered the problem of being bombarded, the outer wall was built into an inclined plane, and the height was limited, so it was not afraid of the artillery bombardment of the Zhou army at all.

And even if there are some casualties, the new army of the Song army can hold on, at most a few cannons - not to strengthen courage, but to report an engagement!

The eastern thief came to attack (the cannon was also an attack), and was repelled by the strong army of the Great Song Dynasty (the camp did not fall anyway), and it was undoubtedly the Song army that won...... Then you can ask for merit and reward, this business is really easy to do!

……

At the same time as the cannon roared on the Cheongju-Baju front, dozens of small sampans, under the cover of roaring naval guns, pierced through the waves of the Bohai Sea and landed on the beach near Zhifu Mountain in Dengzhou with a bang.

Before the sampan could be stopped, the Great Zhou marines who were full of it had already jumped down. One of the first military attachés of the Zhou army wore half-body armor, wore a six-petal iron helmet with a mosake, held a Mo sword, and jumped barefoot into the icy water. The soldiers also rumbled, all of them were half-armoured, iron helmets, holding Da Mo knives, and barefoot.

This is the standard attire of the marines of the Great Zhou Dynasty when they fight landing battles!

Unlike the army, which is half peasant and half soldier, the navy of the Great Zhou is all recruited, and the same is true for marines, all of whom are professional soldiers with high salaries. It's a real elite!

In fact, the conscription system also has merits, and it is separated from agriculture and animal husbandry, and the carefully selected professional soldiers can be trained into ace elites.

But there must be a premise, that is, there must be a martial and aggressive environment. The ideal is, of course, to develop the most elite recruits on the basis of knights and government soldiers.

If you don't happen to encounter a general environment that is averse to martial arts, it is very difficult to recruit good soldiers. If it is in the era of cold weapons, it is even more difficult - traditional martial arts are martial arts that have been honed, and the idea that you can be a good soldier by putting down your hoe is basically unrealistic.

And with hundreds of thousands of military citizens, you can also get savage Jurchen, yellow-headed Jurchen, Khitan and Xi knights, as well as a variety of grassland herdsmen and soldiers. Of course, you can assemble the most elite professional marines!

"I didn't find the Song thieves and horses! Landing successfully! ”

Major Xu Tu, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 4th Brigade of the 2nd Marine Division, held a Mo knife, looked around, shouted, and then looked back again. The sea was covered with Zhou Navy ships participating in the landing operation. The sail battleships were forming an artillery formation, and round after round they were firing at what appeared to be the Song military camp on the coast. The sand boats transporting the troops were changing boats, and large groups of soldiers climbed down the rope nets, onto various small boats, and then struggled to make their way to the beachhead.

On the sea, there is not a single Great Song warship.

On the beach, there is not a single soldier of the Song army!

"Brothers, hurry up and follow so-and-so!" Major Xu Tu shouted, held a Mo knife, stepped on the sea, and rushed towards the beachhead.

The bay near Zhifu Mountain is the Yantai Harbor in later generations, and it is the first-class harbor in the Bohai Bay.

However, it was not developed at this time, and the degree of prosperity was far less than that of Dengzhou Penglai Port in the west of Zhifu Shuixi.

And the navy of the Zhou State has long noticed this bay and has long wanted to occupy it for themselves.

This bay is an ice-free port, and it is located at the entrance of Bohai Bay, which is more suitable than Port Arthur in the north to become the home port of the Beiyang Navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty - the winter in Arthur is too cold, although the port will not be completely frozen, but there are ice floes everywhere, which will also cause some damage to ships.

Therefore, after the Song and Zhou wars began, the navy of the Zhou State held back its strength and must seize "Yantai" as its new home port.

Since October, the Beiyang Fleet, commanded by Admiral Chen Tianli, has been concentrated on the Wudao Islands, waiting for the opportunity to capture "Yantai," which according to the plan is to launch a landing operation to occupy Zhifu Mountain and its nearby beaches after the army has made a sortie to Hebei.

Then build a fortress at the entrance of the Zhifushan Peninsula - the Zhifushan Peninsula is like a hammer, connected to the Shandong Peninsula by a thin "wooden handle", as long as the "wooden handle" is controlled, you can "circle" a good port and a peninsula garrison.

After occupying the Zhifu Peninsula and establishing a port wharf. The Beiyang Fleet has continuously transported the "Shandong Army" troops of the Zhou Army stationed in Lushun Province to open up a "second battlefield in Jingdong".

With the "First Battlefield of Hebei" and the "Second Battlefield of Jingdong", Hedong will become a neglected battlefield......

If Xiao Gan is willing to defect, then the conditions for a big detour are fully met!
