How can I not be in a hurry, it is now November 4 of the third year of Jianyan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 According to real historical records, the fierce offensive and defensive battle of Jiankang will start on the 17th of this month. At that time, the entire army of the left-behind division will be pulled into the battlefield, and the Sizhou battalion will be no exception. After all, although the left-behind division claims to have 100,000 people, in fact, all the troops together are just over 50,000, and the strength is already insufficient.

In other words, Wang Shen still has half a month to train recruits. When the time comes, if the troops are not trained well and rush to battle, it will be sent to death. These 1,000 people he had worked hard to accumulate. In order to raise soldiers, the silver that he got from Chen Lanruo was almost spent. If he loses his troops on the battlefield, what else does he rely on to gain a foothold in this troubled era?

In recent times, Jiankang has been very calm.

After the Jurchens reached the edge of the Yangtze River, they had no choice but to stop because there were no boats. Continue to send troops to sweep the states and counties on the north bank, and gather grain, grass and ordnance.

Seeing that the enemy could not cross the river, the Jiankang soldiers and civilians were also relieved, and they seemed very lax, and almost did not make any pre-war preparations.

But Wang Shen knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and it was summed up in a sentence from later generations: there was not much time left for Jiankang.

No matter how anxious the noise is, the training of the troops still has to pay attention to science and pay attention to gradual and orderly work, and they are not in a hurry.

During this period of time, Wang Shen soaked in the training ground all day long, personally participated in the drill, and bowed down to everything, letting the wind and snow in Jiangnan blow his face black and blow his hands full of cracks.

Gradually, the training of the battalion formation improved, and the soldiers were able to understand and understand the banners, gongs and drums, know when to advance and when to retreat, and how to cooperate with each other, so that they would not be crowded into a mess out of control.

This made Wang Shen happy at the same time, but he also felt that his heart was not solid. After he traveled to the Song Dynasty, he fought two bloody battles, and he was not a layman in the war. It's just that those two battles were against the rabble of the Jinan army, strictly speaking, Li Yu is just a lot of people, not even an army. If the team on the battlefield is a well-trained professional soldier like the Western Army of the Northern Song Dynasty or Li Chengbu, I am afraid that the result will be different.

Not to mention that the women of this period are really at the peak of their combat effectiveness, can the Sizhou battalion compete with them face-to-face on the battlefield?

Wang Shen was not sure about this.

When he retreated from the Anhe River a few days ago, he recruited displaced people all the way, and it was not that he had not met with the Jurchen scouts. Every time everyone met, the Jurchens dared to fight with hundreds of homeless people.

At that time, in order to maintain the troops, he was not good at fighting with the Jin army, and every time he encountered the enemy, he withdrew.

Now, the Sizhou Army has just become a formidable army and can no longer retreat.

Time flew by, and soon it was November 16th. On this day, the battle to defend Jiankang will officially begin.

In real history, on this day, Du Chong heard a report from a spy that a large number of enemy troops were found on the north bank, and the number was not large, only more than 10,000 people. And the army is not in order, the soldiers are tired, and the morale is low. Even better, it was not the Jurchen old Tartars who came, but the signing army composed of the Han people from Hebei.

Hearing this news, Du Chong, the commander-in-chief of the Jiankang Left-behind Campaign, was moved. He didn't have the courage to fight the Jurchens, but he was still happy to pack up the signing army.

Therefore, he ordered Qi Fang, the former army of the remaining division, and Chen Quandu, the Chinese army, to lead the main force to cross the river and sign the army for a decisive battle, preparing to eat this Jinren second-line garbage army and take the lead in taking the lead.

But I didn't want to, but after the army crossed the river, it gnawed a hard bone.

After a short period of chaos, the signing army quickly restored order, fought with the Song army, and even faintly gained the upper hand.

That's right, the commander of this road signing army is Li Cheng. In real history, after the Jurchens invaded the south, he surrendered to Jin Bing and became a shameful traitor.

Li Tianwang's name is not for nothing, the combat effectiveness of the department is very strong, but it is not something that the soldiers and horses left behind can resist.

Of course, in this time and space, Li Cheng had already been recruited, crossed the Yangtze River from Sizhou, and was retreating westward.

That battle was fought until the afternoon, and at this time, Wanyan Zongbi also led Allah to the rescue when he heard the news.

The Song army left behind had been overwhelmed by Li Cheng's beating, and as soon as Allah's power arrived, it immediately collapsed and fled back to the south bank. Not only did they lose most of their elites, but they also left some ships for the Jinren. Relying on the warships they left behind, the Jurchens crossed the Yangtze River little by little, and after several major battles, they completely defeated the soldiers and horses left behind.

So, Jiankang fell, and Du Chong saw that the general trend had gone, and he could not teach the emperor a lesson, so he also surrendered to the Jurchens and became a traitor.

All of this started with today's battle across the river.

Wang Shen also did not think about reminding the decision-makers of the left-behind division, and said that the main force of the Wushu had been found on the north bank. But he was just a small military envoy, and no one took him seriously. Isn't that nonsense when you say that you found the enemy's main force, isn't it the main force of the Jurchen all the time in the north, I want you to talk more.

It feels very bad to know what the future holds, but there is nothing you can do.

Now he can only sit in the tent of the Chinese army, silently looking at the map of Nanjing's river defense drawn by memory, looking at it again and again, and remembering every grass and tree in the surrounding hundreds of miles.

At this moment, Wang Shen can only hope for the butterfly effect. Since Li Cheng has accepted Zhao'an, then the Hebei army that Song General is about to face should not be so strong, and I hope that they can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and calmly cross the river to collect troops and return to the camp before Wushu arrives. With a passable victory, the morale of the troops left behind in the division was boosted.

In the real history, in addition to the loss of some of the ships to the Jin army, the biggest problem of this fiasco in real history was that the elite of the remaining division was exhausted and demoralized, and after the Jurchens crossed the river later, they hardly formed any decent resistance. As soon as the Jurchens rushed, the Song army had no fighting spirit, and they dispersed in an instant. Even a god of war like Yue Fei couldn't restrain the troops, so he had to turn around abruptly, and from then on, he broke away from the main force of the Song army and fought independently.

After the main elite was lost, the entire Jiankang soldiers and horses were sent to the battlefield by Du Chong, and the Sizhou battalion was naturally no exception.

With the training level of the Sizhou army, go into battle to kill the enemy, is it successful?

Thinking of this, Wang Shen's heart was heavy. Early in the morning, I asked Du Shu to go to the Left-behind Division to inquire about the news.

Supposedly, today is the day of the soldiers' vacation. Because of his worries, Wang Shen canceled his vacation and left the soldiers to train in the battalion.

Du Shu had a very happy time in the Sizhou camp during this time, first of all, although Wang Shen had not received military salaries from the left-behind division, the allowance was allocated on time, and with money, he could be regarded as able to support his family. Secondly, Wang Shen was very polite to everyone, he smiled with three points before speaking, and shouted affectionately with the brother of the covenant, and never put on a shelf. He talks elegantly, and is very interesting, he is a wonderful person, and getting along with him is really like a spring breeze.

The most proud thing for Du Shu is that he suddenly solved the problem of official position and food for his former colleagues and friends, and everyone thanked him one after another, and took him as the first to look forward. Du Shu is a good person, affectionate, and good-looking, and he feels that he is simply the reincarnation of Meng Weijun.

Although everyone was holding the positions of deputy commander, Marquis Yu, undertaking the bureau, and doing official business, Wang Shen did not let them lead the troops, naturally because he was afraid that everyone would have two hearts to take the troops away.

To eat other people's food, you have to have the consciousness of the diners, everyone is a human spirit, and naturally knows how to put it in the right position.

During this time, he sat in the tent of the Chinese army all day long, reading books and drinking tea. When I was tired of chatting and chatting, I went to the playground to watch the soldiers' drills, and my life was free. If you are happy, you can also take a leave to go home to see your wife and children, it is really less close to home, sleep until you wake up naturally, and have a high position and light responsibility.

They don't understand military affairs, so it's annoying to really lead troops!

It is not good to be an officer and in charge of military power, you have to practice like a soldier on the playground every day, being exposed to the sun and rain, braving the wind and snow, and being tired like a dog. Every day, I can scrape a pound of mud on my body. We are also officials who have been the master of the book, the household, and the punishment, and we are rolling in the soil like rough people, like words?

Besides, running ten miles every morning is terrifying to think about. If I really go to take charge of the army, I will have to die.

Of course, it's boring to be idle like this. Hearing that Wang Shen asked him to go to the Left-behind Division to inquire about the news, Du Shu immediately came to his senses and rushed out of the barracks with a few colleagues.

Soon, there was news from there, saying that it was indeed found on the north bank of the Yangtze River that the Hebei signing army, Du Chong felt that this was a good fighter, and the military order went down like flowing water, and ordered the front army and the Chinese army to immediately get on the boat and cross the river to ask for the enemy.

Wang Shen felt as if he had been hit by a hammer in his heart, and urgently asked which part of the Hebei signing army belonged to, and who was the general of the unified army?

The one who came back with the news was a deputy commander surnamed Zheng, who used to work as a citizen in the state government and was an old official who was old enough to write a book. I don't understand military affairs, so I thought about it: "It seems to be a Liao person, Khitan, surnamed Ma and Wu." ”

Wang Shen was shocked: "Yelu Ma Wu? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it seems to be called that." Deputy Commander Zheng nodded again and again.

"It's over!" Wang Shen smiled bitterly: "I look at this battle, and the left-behind division is going to end." ”

Deputy Commander Zheng was puzzled: "It's just a Khitan Hu person, and the Hebei signing army doesn't seem to be able to fight, so why be afraid?" They have few people, less than 5,000, and they are fatigued teachers. Our left-behind division is the main force is exhausted, is it possible that we can still be defeated? ”

"What Hebei signed the army, this is the main force of the Jin soldiers." That's right, Yelu Mawu is indeed a Khitan, but he is now a general of the Jin Kingdom. The soldiers under him are all the elite of Qianliao, and their combat strength is very good, if they are really compared, they are still above Li Chengbu, second only to the Jurchens. In real history, after crossing the Yangtze River, this Ma Wu has always been a striker for Wushu in front and has made great achievements.

Moreover, this person is a fierce general who is not inferior to Li Cheng.

Since the internal strife and splitting of the troops left behind, the combat effectiveness has deteriorated and their morale has fallen to the extreme. Not to mention encountering Yelu Ma Wu, even if it is an ordinary Hebei signing army, I am afraid that I will be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.

Compared with this battle in real history, the situation of the main force of the left-behind division is even more sinister.

He sighed angrily: "Du Xiang is confused, why do you want to cross the river for a decisive battle." ”

Deputy Commander Zheng agreed with Wang Shen's words: "Yes, anyway, the Jurchens can't cross the river, so let's stay on the south bank and stay still." The so-called movement is better than being still, good, how to think about looking for other people's bad luck, isn't this a lot of things? ”
