Chapter 266: The Sword Pointing to the Southeast 1

With the formulation of the battle plan of the General Staff and the deployment of front-line soldiers and strategic materials by the Ministry of War, the war machine of the Song Empire, under the command of Zhao Xu, the emperor, rotated rapidly, and at this moment, all the ministers of the Song Empire naturally knew that they felt the strong smell of gunpowder in the air, and war could break out at any time, although the ministers of the Song Empire had long been accustomed to the coming of war, but this did not mean that they did not know the tension, from all of them in a hurry, In the way things become more vigorous and resolute, it is not difficult to see the slightly nervous emotions in their hearts.

"The efficiency of your military department needs to be further accelerated, Khmer is not Goryeo, although the name is similar, but its combat effectiveness is no longer on the same plane at all." After getting off the court, Zhao Xu said to Lu Junyi, who was following him

"Yes, when Wei Chen goes back, he will once again urge his colleagues in the War Department to speed up the war scheduling and ensure that all arrangements and scheduling work are completed before the combat time when the battle plan is formulated."

"Have the Timberwolves and the Wolves entered the battlefield? Where is Lin Chong's front-line headquarters set up? ”

"Long live, more than 6,000 officers and men of the Timber Wolf and Hua Wolf have all entered the Jiaozhi, Bagan, and Khmer areas, and even two more squadrons have entered the Da Yue Guo area.

"Tell Liu Yong and Lin Chong that as the two vanguard officers of the empire, they must cooperate well, for all the news that Lin Chong passed back before and behind the enemy, Liu Yong must plan well with his vanguard combat staff, the vanguard army is the spear of the imperial army, don't let the Angkor people break it."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will send a letter to the front line in southern Xinjiang in a while."

As mentioned above, war has its own reason, and it has a lot of unpredictability, the Song Empire has not yet launched an attack on the Angkor Dynasty, but the Angkor Dynasty has taken the lead in launching an attack on the Song Empire

Liu Yong's 30,000 vanguard army was suddenly attacked by nearly 70,000 people of the Angkor Dynasty, and the most surprising and inexplicable thing was not this sudden attack, but how these 70,000 people escaped the eyes of thousands of Chinese wolves and timber wolves and reached the flank of the Song army's vanguard army

There is no need to think about this question anymore, because the war has already started in advance in the offensive of the Angkor dynasty. After a night of hard fighting, the vanguard army repelled the attacking Angkor army, but almost all the medium artillery such as mountain infantry artillery and cavalry artillery were destroyed by the Angkor army

"Your Majesty, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and you must not judge heroes according to this battle, no one thought that the Khmers would be so cunning, so I hope Your Majesty will think twice about the recital of Lin Chong and Liu Yong." After listening to Xiaodouzi, after reading Lin Chong and Liu Yong's battle table, Lu Junyi hurriedly walked out of class and said to Zhao Xu

And how could the people of the Imperial History Observatory let go of those ministers who made mistakes so easily, especially the generals who made mistakes and were defeated, therefore, after Lu Junyi finished speaking, Zhao Xu did not have a chance to speak, and immediately went out of class and said: "Lord Lu, you said that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, but the enemy launched an attack on our army's vanguard position under the strict supervision of tens of thousands of our army's vanguard troops and Hua Wolf, who is known as the most elite unit of the empire. And the most ridiculous thing is that those soldiers who are known as the most elite soldiers in the empire did not realize that the number of soldiers who died and were seriously injured and quit the battle overnight was as high as nearly 4,000, and almost all the infantry guns and cavalry guns in the vanguard army camp were destroyed. Your Majesty, therefore, the ministers thought that these two people should be immediately arrested and returned to Beijing and punished by military law. ”

Zhao Xu looked at His Majesty Dan who was constantly arguing with reason, arguing loudly with the officials of the military department and the imperial history platform, this contradiction in his heart, he naturally didn't want to punish the two like this, besides, Lu Junyi was right just now, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, which general does not have an unforgettable history of defeat, but there is no corresponding punishment for defeat, which is a bit too much to say, so Zhao Xu needs someone to build a step for him at this time, so that he can come to the stage.

The ministers who understand Zhao Xu's thoughts are naturally very many, no, Zhao Xu's most intimate brother-in-law, Chu Luli, the secretary of the ministry, took the lead in standing up and finding a step for Zhao Xu and said: "Your Majesty, Lin Chong and Liu Yong were negligent, and the defeat in the first battle greatly reduced the spirit of our army, so they should be detained and returned to Beijing, removed from their posts and investigated, and that night the battle caused our army to lose more than 4,000 people, and even almost all the heavy equipment was destroyed. It will inevitably make the momentum of our army fall into a more unfavorable state, so the minister thinks that it is better to let these two people stay in their posts to check, wear the guilt and make meritorious service, if the battle is won, according to the merits of the two people, the final reward is punishment, if the battle is unfortunately lost, these two people will be punished for two crimes, and they will be beheaded immediately, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks. ”

Chu Luli's words were recognized by most of the officials, especially the officials of the Ministry of War, of course, the most important thing was the approval of Zhao Xu, otherwise Lin Chong and Liu Yong would not have been pardoned anyway, and many officials in the Imperial History Observatory saw that their emperor was determined to protect Lin Chong and Liu Yong, so they didn't say anything anymore.

After Zhao Xu saw that his ministers were quiet, he issued an order to the military department: "Immediately pass through the military post and urgently convey my will to the front line in southern Xinjiang with an expedited period of 800 miles, Lin Chong and Liu Yong should be punished for the crimes committed by Lin Chong and Liu Yong, however, the three armies should not be easily changed in front of the formation, and the two were ordered to make meritorious contributions to the crime, and if the battle was lost, order the two to kill themselves on the spot to thank the world." ”

"Obey." Lu Junyi listened to Zhao Xu's words, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and after glancing at his emperor and master, he retreated to his class

Lost this battle? How is it possible, the rolling steel torrent of the Song Empire's army, coupled with a clear division of labor command system, the elite Song Empire army will not be defeated in the hands of the Angkor Dynasty no matter what, and after this bloody lesson, Zhao Xu knows that those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals stationed in the southern Xinjiang of the empire will never let themselves make such low-level mistakes again, soldiers, what is the most important thing? That's honor, just imagine, how can those arrogant soldiers who calm down and have a character like a tiger and wolf let the enemy once again put on their necks

And Lin Chong, who received the order from the Ministry of War, exerted his keen and ruthless like a cheetah, and stretched out the claws of his wolf pack to all parts of the Khmer again and again, and the entire northern region of the Khmer was turned upside down by Lin Chong and his Hua Wolves and Timber Wolves, and even more, a squadron of Hua Wolves broke through behind enemy lines and dropped a mortar shell on the tower of Angkor Thom, the capital of the Angkor Dynasty

In the front-line camp of the Song Army, within the commander's tent, Hu Songlin, the commander of the southern expedition, stood with his generals in front of the sand table marking the entire southeast peninsula, and listened to Ouyang He, the chief of staff assigned by the General Staff, tell him about the front-line combat plan formulated by the front-line combat staff according to the operational plan of the imperial general staff.

"Marshal, due to the last attack on our army by the Khmer army, our army had to start implementing our battle plan ahead of schedule."

"Then let's talk about it in detail, this surprise attack by the Angkor people on our forward army has really caught us off guard, and if we can't restore the morale of our soldiers in a short time, I'm afraid that the further we go, the more unfavorable its form will be." Hu Songlin said with a punch on the wooden frame on the edge of the sand table

Ouyang He got Hu Songlin's order, and continued to say to all the generals present: "Hu Shuai, generals, after the vanguard of the vanguard army has re-replenished a large number of mountain infantry artillery, with the help of artillery, the vanguard of the vanguard army has reached Thang Long City, the capital of the original Cochin country, and the road from Qinzhou to Thang Long City has also been opened by the vanguard army, Hua Wolf and Timber Wolf, so our army can move quickly and directly station the army in Thang Long City, and Thang Long City will be used as the front command of our army. Then launch a full-front offensive against the Khmer. By waterway, according to the latest operational plan of the Imperial General Staff, the warships of the South China Sea Fleet moved towards the Khmer city of Tamanon under the personal command of the commander-in-chief, General Liu Feilong, and then the South China Sea Fleet divided its forces, one way up the Mekong River to strike at the cities and villages along the river, and the other continued to move forward, from the Bangkok Delta to the Chao Phraya River, also to strike at the enemy, to support our army's combat operations can be carried out smoothly, and the last way of the navy will blockade the entire southeast peninsula. Prevent the Khmer royal family from escaping by water. ”

After listening to Ouyang He's statement, Hu Songlin stroked his short beard and pondered for a moment, and said: "Order: Feng Xiang, this commander will ride 50,000 steps to you, and after the army arrives at Thang Long City, you will take a short rest, and immediately lead the army out of Thang Long City, along the line of Dali Kingdom, the army will kill all the way to Bagan, and the troops will go to Pungara, and then destroy all the Angkor troops entrenched in the territory of the original Bagan country, as well as those aborigines of Bagan, and finally reorganize the army and horses, and be ready to march to Pungarat at any time, and open up the vital route for troops in India." ”

"The last will obey."
