Chapter 499: Occupy? Submit?
As soon as it was dark, several sentry spies came to report an urgent military situation.
This made many soldiers who were on vigil and generals who got up early to see it in their eyes and watched one after another. At this time, there were other people in the military account, Xiao Gan just sat there, his voice did not move, and even waved his hand a little lazily to let those few distant people come to him to report the military situation.
Anyway, you can't dodge it, and if you point it out openly, it's good to show your own public heart.
Several sentry detectives knelt down in front of Xiao Gan, hurriedly saluted, and began to report.
Listen to the reward, the moment inside and outside the account countless discoloration. We can no longer wait to ignore it and persuade each other.
"Why did the Song army suddenly change his temper and organize people and horses so quickly to attack suddenly? This must be a ruse......"
"King, what should I do? Is it to fight or to defend? I think the Song army is small, and Yizhou doesn't care, let's go back to Yanjing as soon as possible, otherwise, Lin Ya's side, I'm afraid it is! ”
Originally, he had vaguely heard that there was a Song army after that, but many people did not believe it. In particular, they walked slowly for a long time, and they did not see the Song army follow. It's even more credulous!
But it turned out that the army led by Zhu Zilong's clone was a battalion step by step. While resting, he turned a corner and knocked down some Liao military forts and small cities that passed by.
In particular, the attached land of Zhuozhou was also included in the hands. In these places, because of Guo Yaoshi's gathered troops, the Liao army was out of control. There are only some local large organizations of soldiers, and there will be nearly 10,000 opponents of Liangshan's mixed people.
When the army arrived, 90% of them just retreated and ran away, and they occupied it without even fighting. This is also one of the reasons why the army led by Zhu Zilong's clone is getting slower and slower. In addition, it is necessary to divide some troops to guard the occupied territory!
Guo Rong has a lot of opinions about this, but letting Zhu Zilong's clone occupy these can be used to take Guo Yaoshi's department back to the south. Let it have nothing to say!
Of course, it is naturally right to be able to accept Pharmacist Guo. But more importantly, occupying these places is even more important to the Great Song Dynasty.
The Song army failed to fight in the field, but the defense of the city was powerful.
Taking Zhang Shunmin's army as an example, the Sichuan peasant army uprising was in full swing, and hundreds of thousands of troops were gathered in a few months. The rebels then locked on the next city to attack - Zizhou! Such a huge provincial capital city of Chengdu was captured by the rebels, and the leader of the peasant army, "Li Shun", believed that it was not very difficult to capture Zizhou, and also made the correct deployment, he sent 200,000 troops to attack this small city, and believed that it could be taken down in an instant!
In the early days of Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun's rebellion, Zhang Yong had already felt the seriousness of the matter, so he immediately strengthened the defense of the city, trained the army day and night, prepared food for a protracted war, and manufactured military supplies.
The army garrisoning Zizhou was only 10,000, and it was a 1:20 war, but Zhang Yong made careful arrangements and was not afraid. Due to the height of the city, the depth of the moat, and the full combat readiness, the 200,000 army could not break through the city!
This is true internally, but also externally.
The real characteristic of the Song army was that it was good at defense and not good at attacking. As long as it is a defensive battle, whether it is a field battle or a defensive city, he fights well.
However, the Liao people knew the other side of the Song army better than the Jin people.
The Song army was characterized by weak cavalry, but extremely strong bows and crossbows. However, in all fairness, even if the Song army fought in the field on the plains, it was not without advantages. Because the plain also has the advantage of the plain, it can give the Song infantry enough warning time to set up a position and use bows and crossbows against the cavalry.
However, this tactic also made the weakness of the infantry more prominent, and the emphasis on bows and crossbows made the Song army's dependence on logistics more than other infantry. Once the supply line was lengthened, the Song army's high consumption of arrows made the logistical pressure overwhelmed, even if there was no interference, and it was often impossible to maintain it normally. And if the supply line is cut off by the opponent's cavalry, then his infantry will only be passively beaten when the arrows are exhausted.
Historically, most of the victories and defeats of the Song army conform to this law.
The siege of Taiyuan was even more obvious, and the Song army finally won and then lost after the bows and crossbows and arrows were consumed. With the same fate, Li Ling of the Han Dynasty was in the same situation.
-
Seeing that all of your subordinates were surprised, even a little frightened.
Xiao Gan smiled slowly and relaxedly: "What Song army occupies the city, what Jurchen!" Just wait for me to return to the city and sit in Yanjing. Yanjing is such a majestic city, the Jurchens can't beat it for a year! As for the Song army, he is not afraid, the Song army has always been bulky and unbearable, even if tens of thousands of people are drawn to the north in advance, it is not possible to move in ten days and half a month, so, don't panic, you still can't understand this truth? ”
The Lord will be at an important moment, at a critical juncture, there is still calm. It can stabilize morale and morale. The panicked look on everyone's faces immediately calmed down a lot.
However, many border cities, as well as Zhuozhou, were lost after all. This Guo Yaoshi is now in the main city, whether to attack quickly, or to avoid long nights and dreams, retreat quickly, and wait for a quick idea.
Thinking of this, all the generals looked at Xiao Gan in unison.
Xiao Gan still looked relaxed, glanced back at the Yizhou city wall, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the generals, this king wants to come, it's amazing that it is this rainy weather that makes the Song people suddenly attack." However, more than 500 or 1,000 horses should be cavalry............ Maybe it's Yang Keshi's white soldiers. But the elongation of the battle line made it impossible for them to continue to set off with the whole army. Whichever general is willing to lead 10,000 horses in the rear attack, and if he comes to an ambush, he will definitely succeed. I wonder who wants to go? ”
People who have read the Three Kingdoms like to use ambush tactics, Zhuge Liang is like this, Comrade Sima is the same, and Cao Cao is the same. It's like a hero saving beauty, saying it's old-fashioned, but it's cool after several trials. Always practical!
What Xiao Gan said, listening to the ears of the Liao generals, only felt that it was very reasonable.
In this way, it is an ambush and an ambush, but I am afraid that it will be the first credit. It's easy! At that moment, several Liao generals rushed forward: "King, my subordinates are willing to go!" ”
Xiao Gan smiled and named a few people: "A few people have such great ambitions, you lead the people of the headquarters to go forward, and each of them is surrounded by one, but there are only these ten thousand people." If no one comes, it must be that the Song people are so full of thoughts, and they want to keep this great achievement to the death, and they are fighting the idea of closing the city and defending it. But it's just a small number of people, how can you keep it? As long as they go fast, let them be trapped in Zhuozhou, and the backup has not arrived. This...... Go, this credit is given to you, it is easy, it depends on who is the first to make the first contribution! ”
Those generals knew that it was impossible for the main force of the Liao battalion to move, and they could only go back quickly. It seems that this ambush battle will not be able to take half a day, and it will definitely be attacked from afar. glanced at each other, thinking to themselves, how can these 10,000 people get a majority?
If the war of the kingdom dies, there will be demons. When the army is in chaos, there will be early disputes. The same is true for the Liao people, office politics is everywhere. The heart is not monolithic, and acting separately is also a hidden danger.
The generals who were ordered all stepped forward and knelt down on one knee: "King, I will not be dishonored!" ”
It's just that this promise is good, but they have their own ghosts and small plans.
