Chapter 617: Heading North (7)

Up to now, the Jurchen southward expedition is still more determined to send Zong Han to lead the Western Route Army to march in the ice and snow to promote the strategy of the southern expedition to the Great Song Dynasty, because of the existence of a series of wars in Yang Ling, the Jurchens have an unrealistic overestimation of the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, but not that the strength of the Song army is much higher than that of the Liao, but after gradually understanding the wealth of the Song people, they are jealous, and they have basically reasonable combat effectiveness, but the strength of the Southern Dynasty is enough to raise millions of military horses, which is a large-scale southern expedition and a strategic decisive battle with the Southern Dynasty. How much more damage does the Jurchen Erlang have to lose?

After all, the Jurchen population is not large, that is, after collecting those mature Jurchens in Liao, the population of the Ju tribe is only one million, and at most more than 100,000 soldiers can be mobilized, and after destroying the Liao State, they will have a rich land far beyond the old forest. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the Jurchen destroyed the Liao, they were really a little content with the status quo, from Wanyan Agu to Wanyan Wu begging, as well as the Zongwang Group, the desire to go south was not very strong, and the Zonghan West Route Army Group was trying its best to promote the strategy of the southern expedition, perhaps partly because the territory of the Zonghan Group after the destruction of the Liao was far inferior to the Zongwang Group.

Although the Zonghan clique tried its best to promote, the entire Jurchen's preparations for the southern expedition were somewhat half-hearted, and the military strength was extremely weak, and the ruling group did not act as the Song Dynasty to the extreme.

At this time, it is a model of not dying and not dying, stirring up wind and rain in Yandi, and the warlord Guo Yaoshi who can't control Yandi, all kinds of foolish actions make Guo Yaoshi decisively fall to the Jurchen, the gate of Yandi is open, and the Jurchen will be disrespectful if he doesn't go south.

After the two sieges of Kaifeng, a series of battles broke out one after another, and none of the two emperors competed, and the Northern Song Dynasty, which still had far more than the entire earth, and at this moment all the countries and nations together had national strength and wealth, but in the eyes of the Jurchens, they were not so willing to go south to attack the Song Kingdom, but they didn't want to hurt too many children.

Miraculously destroyed such an empire as Da Liao in a short period of time with a small tribe, it should always be blessed for two days, but as long as the Jurchen soldiers are willing to fight, how can there be any reason why they can't win? Even if the military horses of the Southern Dynasties have some combat effectiveness, they still rely on the military strength of the large number of people.

In terms of military horses alone, can they still be stronger than the Liao people? Yin Keshu's defeat was that within the Western Route Army, he acted recklessly, and finally caused this small group of men and horses to be defeated, and finally died, even Yin Keshu was secretly ridiculed, and the strong army of the Southern Dynasty in Yin Keshu's mouth was no less than the elite of the Jurchens was just a joke.

Rao is a famous general who has been in battle for a long time like Yan Lou and knows that as long as he goes into battle, he can't despise his opponent too much, and he already attaches great importance to the opinion of his old partner Yin Keshu, and he can't help but feel that Yin Keshu is carrying a black pot for setting up a horse, and it also involves hundreds of sons and daughters to die in Yandi.

This time, I also felt that Yin Keshu was shrinking the superior forces in Yingzhou, and he was a little too timid, and he didn't have the courage and fierceness of the previous war, so he insisted on leading the troops to fight a dozen.

Zong Han's army came, and it was blocked between the mountains for a long time, and the logistics supply was already quite difficult, how to explain to Zong Han when the time came? Even if Yin Keshu reminded him repeatedly, Wanyan Lou redoubled his dispatch of more outposts, and his department had seventeen mooke, more than 3,000 cavalry, plus auxiliary soldiers such as cangtou bullet pressure totaling more than 6,000 people.

This is already enough in the war to destroy the Liao and chase the north, originally sent out sentry scouts are normally the size of each Mouke out of two or three ten-person teams, Wanyan Lou Room has been added to each Mouke out of a fifty cavalry full of Puliyan! You must know that now there are more Jurchen family belongings, and it is still the system of the tribal army, and there are many people in each Mouke who stay to watch their belongings, and they are not satisfied with the compilation of this southern expedition.

After a lot of hard work and cold winter, there is a reduction in the number of people who climb the mountain trail and enter the clouds, and each Mok sends a full number of Puliyan, and almost one-third of the combat power is taken out for the long-range exploration sentry!

In Wanyan Lou's view, such an unprecedentedly powerful search curtain may be enough to kill the mountains of Yingzhou alone, and force back the enemy who is now hovering outside the mountains, leaving the main force, which is enough to march out of the mountain easily, and Zonghan's army can go south with the attitude of a brigade march under the response of their military horses.

But contrary to Yan Lou's expectations, under the collision of the power search curtains of the two sides, the battle was by no means as optimistic as he imagined! A series of small-scale brutal battles unfolded in the mountains, ice and snow, and one by one the military information was passed back, and the enemy was really as strong as Yin Keshu said!

Pu Liyan, who has a scale of 50 people, and thousands of Liao military horses have encountered most of them fleeing from the wind, but the enemy is far away from the outpost of only dozens of people, but they can not only dare to resist, but even want to press back the power search curtain opened by the Jurchens, and the small troops on both sides are entangled, but in two days, it is said that the casualties have been more than 100 people, and even some Jurchen sons were captured by the enemy.

Even if there was that Sentinel Squad that won and even wiped out the opponent, it would have to pay quite a painful damage! Such a daring military horse, after defeating the spirit of the entire Great Liao Empire in the battle of Hubu Dagang, Wanyan Lou Room has never tasted it again, but when it meets such a strong hand, it has aroused the fighting spirit of Wan Yan Lou Room, and more elite soldiers and strong generals have been drawn out and thrown into a series of small-scale bloody attrition wars in the complicated mountain paths.

No matter what the price is, we must rush out of the mountains near the left of Yingzhou, and on the open terrain, we can give full play to the power of the Jurchen brigade galloping across the country and being good at fighting large-scale field battles!

Wanyan Lou Room was also deeply glad, fortunately his own family advocated to fight out first, obviously the enemy did not have enough reinforcements to the north, if it really shrank in Yingzhou Zuo and waited for more than ten days, Zong Han's main force was coming, but the enemy reinforcements did not know how many came. Tens of thousands of people and a large number of auxiliary troops and accompanying soldiers were compressed in the mountains, and they couldn't be expanded, and they didn't know how much more they would have to pay for the lives of the girl Zhenerlang to kill this mountain!

The military information of the torture prisoners also arrived, and Wanyan Lou finally figured out the reality of some opponents on the opposite side, and sure enough, as expected by Yinkeshu, since it was a strong army of the Southern Dynasty, then this war was not just an ordinary expedition to simply sweep the land of Yunnei and establish a base for attacking the Song Dynasty, but the beginning of the decisive battle with the Southern Dynasty!

The response of the Southern Dynasty is really not slow, it went north to operate in Yunnei early and was ready for a decisive battle with the Jurchens, this is only the front of the Hedong Road of the Southern Dynasty, and in the front of the Zongwang Department, I don't know how many elite soldiers and strong generals of the Southern Dynasty have gathered?

Since it was the precursor of the strategic decisive battle between the Song and the Jurchens, Wanyan Lou Room immediately cheered up, but as a heavy general, isn't it possible to show his ability in such a decisive battle?

Wanyan Lou Room in the past few days desperately urged the department to change and advance, desperately to rush out of this mountain, or even led the guards to the front of a certain mountain road, in Wanyan Lou Room such a role model, Lou Room Mou Ke is not a little lazy, but also this cruel fight aroused a little dull ferociousness and wildness, regardless of what casualties, regardless of what cold and tired, as if he took out the strength to destroy the elite of the Liao State when he first started the army, biting the military horses of the Southern Dynasty, doing endless continuous battles!

In the military tent, the atmosphere was tense, the guards were ordered to come and go, and the generals who came to receive orders also came and went, everyone looked solemn, and the tent was filled with the tense atmosphere of the coming big war.

Outside the military tents, the various commanders' villages, which were originally stuffed to the brim, were now much empty, and groups of military horses were sent out, either to maintain contact with the enemy, or to do the battle of delaying and harassing the enemy troops, or to take their robes and withdraw from the pursuit of the Jurchen Tartars.

The only road for military horses to enter and exit each military village has been trampled on by the passing people and horses to turn out the black frozen soil, in a vast white is particularly eye-catching, from time to time dozens of soldiers armed to the teeth roared away, pounced on the mountains to the north. In the military village, the people left behind were also busy.

Including the local requisitioned people, they are either digging trenches, or reinforcing walled walls, or renovating military weapons, or urging supplies. Busy and busy, there is no one idle, in a military village in the house, the snow is stained with blood, but this is the place where the wounded Sima of the army receives and treats the wounded.

A wounded soldier was easily snatched from the front, survived the cold and bumps and was sent here, bandaged the wounds, fed the decoction, and every day a car set off from here to transfer the wounded number to Wuzhou, and in just a few days of outpost contact battle, there were fifty or sixty brothers who could not return, and the number of seriously injured sons and daughters was about the same.

The small-scale outpost contact battle was fought so brutally, and the self-probing sentry was pressed back step by step, and it was about to withdraw from the mountains. This kind of battle intensity made the Shence army feel very clearly that they were really those Jurchen Tartars who had encountered the fierceness in Yan Land in person!

Han Shizhong stayed next to Mu Tu, his strong young face was as usual, the brutal battle broke out suddenly, and he didn't see the slightest nervous shaking on his face, but was more attentive and his eyes sharper.

This set of wooden drawings is carefully created by the master craftsmen of the Ministry Division, the accumulation of more than 100 years of accumulation of the Song people, the topography of the mountains and rivers of the sixteen states of Yanyun has been extremely detailed, after the Shence army stationed in Hedong and set up the Ulzhou camp and the Yanmen camp, more efforts have been made in this regard.

Yang Ling, as a traverser, does not know anything else, at least the importance of intelligence far exceeds that of everyone in this era, and has invested considerable resources in military intelligence, although this set of wooden maps is not in the form of a three-dimensional sand table as in later generations, let alone contour lines and the like, but at least from a two-dimensional point of view, the numerous mountain trails from the left to the south of Yingzhou are clearly marked, and none of them are missing.

In this era, the technical means are limited, although there are many mountain trails, but there are only five or six roads that can barely support a large-scale military horse to march, and the remaining roads can only allow small groups of dozens of people to pass, and they can't carry baggage, so they are useless. The outpost spies sent by Han Shizhong also focused most of their attention on those five or six mountain roads, and most of the outpost battles were still brutally going on around those mountain roads!

On the latest sign of the wooden map, the Jurchen military horses are pressing south step by step, and they are about to rush out of the mountains, and according to the confessions of the tortured prisoners, this southbound military horse is the main force of Wanyan Lou's department, and its strength is more than that of Han Shizhong's department!

What made Han Shizhong sigh was the strength of the combat power of Wanyan Lou's department, a bloody battle with Yinkeshu's department in Yandi that day, he had already fought to the best of his ability, and now he changed to a Jurchen military horse, it was still so strong, but the Great Song Dynasty only had a divine army!

Han Shizhong's fingers lightly tapped the wooden figure, and this emotion was deeply hidden in his heart, and standing under him, it was Lu Junyi who was also looking at the wooden figure intently, this military general with deep qualifications and extraordinary courage was the deputy role of Han Shizhong's vanguard military horse.

Seeing that Han Shizhong was silent for a long time, he sighed: "General, this bird room is moving forward in separate ways, why don't you let me go, gather five or six commanders to me, and beat him all the way first?" ”

Han Shizhong shook his head: "This mountain road can't move the army, so we can only move forward in separate ways, don't we still can't move away?" It's just that the whole army is fighting all the way, and they have to be added one by one, so isn't it fighting like this now? This Lou room is desperate to rush out. It's useless for us to block three or two passages with all our troops, and we can't block three or two passages......"

"And we can't fight with the Jurchen Tartars." Lu Junyi didn't speak, he could only smile bitterly in his heart, the Great Song Dynasty, which has a population of tens of millions, can't fight for human life with the Jurchen Tartars, this is both ridiculous and cruel, the Shence army is only 20,000 in size, and the King of Jin doesn't know how long it will take to pull out the new army in Bianliang, and he doesn't know if the King of Jin can successfully train the new army under the constraints of the big turbans in Bianliang.

The Shence army is gone, and the entire Great Song Dynasty, where can I find another military horse that dares to fight and is very capable of fighting, and can almost fight with the Jurchen Tartars? Relying on the twilight of the Western Army, which has been greatly injured? Is it still a question whether the Western Army group is willing to come to Hedong to get millet from the Yangling fire, relying on the Shengjie Army that is not yet in the climate?

The predecessor of the Shengjie Army was the Huanqing Army that was defeated even more badly, and now I don't know if there is a good military heart, the garrison forbidden army in Hebei Zhulu is not as good as the Shengjie Army, and in the war against Yan, I would rather recruit soldiers in Hebei Zhulu than dare to use those ancestors who don't know how many soldiers there are.

The Dumen Forbidden Army is more wasteful than the Hebei Zhulu Forbidden Army, and now the King of Jin is retraining, and he has a headache, Lu Junyi never expected to see the Dumen Forbidden Army appear on the battlefield in this life, and under the Dumen Forbidden Army, there is a god-like existence, which is better than the final champion of the competition, the Jiangnan Zhulu Garrison Forbidden Army!

The garrison of the forbidden army in other places is a matter of how much of the empty quota, and the garrison of the forbidden army in the south of the Yangtze River is empty to the point that there is only a roster left, Fang La got into trouble, and a group of ordinary people wielding sickles and hoes immediately swept half of the south of the Yangtze River, and they simply did not encounter any resistance!
