Chapter 377 North and South Yanjing I

The battle line separated the Song and Liao armies along the Khitan imperial city, with the Song army to the south and the Liao army to the north. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In the past two days, dozens of battles broke out between the two sides, but there was still no winner or loser.

Many positions, barricades, can be snatched down in the morning, and can be taken away by an impact from the other side in the afternoon, and then they can be snatched back after yelling a few times in the night. For several days, the defensive line continued to seesaw, and the soldiers of the two armies in the north and south of the needle and thread almost fell into a show battle.

After a long battle, the closest soldiers on both sides were not even fifty paces away, and the archers and crossbowmen were too lazy to shoot arrows when they were not in battle or under enemy attack. After six days of fighting, the number of troops on both sides became smaller and smaller, and the mood became more and more depressed.

Seed Master Dao, Han Shizhong, Yao Gu, know it, but this is the truth, they can't find out. Once it is made public, the confidence and will to maintain face will be destroyed, and the soldiers will despair.

Knowing that they can't win, but still letting the soldiers fight for nothing, this is more uncomfortable than losing the battle. The generals will find that to ignore the feelings and confidence of the soldier is to bury their own careers.

Smoke of gunpowder, strange battle lines, staggered teeth. The pre-formation patrol team that is strictly guarded by the rigid guard, at the specified time and place, repeats the mechanical patrol.

Seed Master Dao took Yang Keshi to look out from the building, and they were facing the Imperial City, which was a group of brilliant palaces.

Their goal is to kill in, capture Xiao Puxian's daughter and the royal family, and then return to the court to pay tribute to the official family in victory, and enjoy the congratulations and envy of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs.

Unfortunately, now a sledgehammer has smashed this beautiful illusion to pieces.

"The wild wolf said that the silver can be used to break out of the rhinoceros village, leap five hundred miles in one day, capture countless people, and accept thousands of recruits. At present, it is eighty miles northwest of Yanjing. ”

"Yes, Zong Wang, Zong Bi, and Pu Luhu have led three thousand elite cavalry to attack Danzhou. It is said that Xian also led the army through Gubeikou, and the Jurchens really all went out. ”

The old man paused and said, "It seems that Han Wang's judgment was right, the Jurchen will definitely not sit idly by. Unfortunately, we missed the best time."

Yang Keshi had a deep worry in his eyebrows, originally the Song and Liao armies were exhausted, but now the fierce Jurchen suddenly joined, and it was obvious that he was here to turn over the table. Lao Chong's resoluteness three days ago, but in today's situation, I am afraid that I will have to sacrifice the magic weapon of self-protection again.

Han Shizhong never approved of this kind of tug-of-war that cost people's lives, so he still retained more than 2,000 people. Although the victorious army did not directly participate in the war, they did a good job of capturing prisoners at night, counter-espionage and rape, building fortifications, and discipline picketing.

Now there are more than 30,000 Song troops in Yanjing City, 10,000 Liao troops, plus 10,000 Jurchens from the north, and it is another Three Kingdoms melee.

The difference is that there are no allies in this game. Song Liao's strength was equal, and only the Jurchens were in a favorable situation to defeat Song Liao and enjoy the fruits alone.

In the afternoon, Han Shizhong wrote a secret letter and asked Tywei to release the carrier pigeon, and two hours later, Han Wang could receive the latest information from Yanjing. Morning and evening double reports are routine, and this afternoon, the cavalry of the Zhongjing Jurchen Brigade went south to Yanjing in three routes, which is a special case of major information circulation.

In the evening, Li Qing, Liang Hongyu, Yang Zaixing, Luo Yanqing, Niu Gao, Hu Hongxiu, Yao Zheng, and Tang Xiu gathered together, and there must have been a reply.

"The battle of Yancheng is stacked, the three armies are exhausted, the Jurchen is cutting-edge, it is difficult to resist, thirty-six strategies, the best strategy should be taken"

Han Shizhong repeated the contents of the secret letter, and now although Han Wang is not a general who leads the troops, Han Shizhong still has to respect his opinion at every important juncture.

Of course, these core generals must know what kind of attitude Han Wang has, which has a magical effect on calming their panicked mood. In their hearts, as long as Han Wang is there, no matter what happens, the winning army will not lose.

"Ten thousand Tartars? Just fight, running around, big brother is really boring! Yang Zaixing fired again.

Counting the troops, Han Shizhong, Yang Zaixing, and Luo Yanqing each led 400 cavalry; Niu Gao and Yao Zheng each led 400 infantry troops; Tang Xiu took a hundred rocket archers, Li Qing only had 60 special forces left, Liang Hongyu had 100 female gendarmes, and Hu Hongxiu was stationed at the command center with a group of staff officers. With the addition of nearly 200 logistics personnel, the total number of troops does not exceed 2,500.

"Hu Hongxiu, tell this guy about the situation of the Jurchen army!" Han Shizhong had a headache when he saw Yang Zaixing, and this stunned young man didn't care about the battle, and every time he sent someone to guard him with fear. In comparison, Luo Yanqing is much more well-behaved and sensible, at least he knows that the elders and young are inferior and forbidden.

Hu Hongxiu didn't even look at the information, and came as soon as he opened his mouth, "Yinshuke led his troops south, swept away a large number of servant troops, and the preliminary judgment is that there are only nine or eight hundred Jurchen soldiers, and the support of other tribes and Yanjiao big households is at least as high as more than two thousand."

Zongwang Zongbi led an army of 3,000 and was fighting fiercely with 30,000 Liao troops in Danzhou, believing that he would win in a few days. As for the Jin army of the Xieye brigade, it is definitely not just for Yanjing, it will definitely sweep through the Liaonanjing Road. If the Jurchens occupy this place, they may not be able to win Longwangshu! The day when such a great Song Dynasty disaster will be connected is not far away! ”

After a pause, Hu Hongxiu went on to explain, "The Jurchens are mainly cavalry, and they have strong mobile combat capabilities, and they don't pay attention to the gains and losses of one city or one place. For a long time, the Han army of the Central Plains, which was dominated by infantry, was extremely difficult to deal with the cavalry units in the north, and even if there were a few cavalry, they were often not their opponents, so it was inevitable that they would win less and lose more. ”

Only then did Yang Zaixing and Luo Yanqing know that the current situation is no longer a simple battle between military formations, but that the Jurchen cavalry can give full play to their greatest speed advantage and can selectively fight across the city according to their own advantages.

Surround the city, cut off all the surrounding roads, if there are reinforcements, it will become a siege point to send reinforcements, it is convenient to advance and retreat, but the defending side will be miserable, and many Liao cities will collapse quickly in this way.

Han Shizhong needs everyone to make a judgment on Han Wang's meaning, and how the various arms of the army should deal with the Jurchen invasion of the south. "Ladies and gentlemen, Yanjing can no longer be counted on, and evacuation is the wisest choice, but when will it be withdrawn? How to withdraw, you need to make a charter. ”

"Master Tong, how do they decide?"

This is also a sensitive topic, the Lian Shengjun is a subordinate of Tong Guan, and he fights hand in hand with the Western Army, so he should indeed take care of what they mean. Otherwise, in the future, there will be virtues who will carry the black pot in the court.

Han Shizhong's face was expressionless, and he said flatly, "The streak army is different from the physique of other armies, and it is difficult to coordinate and consistency. Master Tong avoided suspicion because of the defeat, and the old minister temporarily took over the right to take over, and I will ask for instructions on many things."

"I propose, taking advantage of the fact that the silver art can go deep alone, you can lure the enemy into an ambush, even if you can't destroy the enemy, you can also disperse the speed of the Jurchen combined forces and mess up their attack plan."

Hu Hongxiu pointed to the map and continued, "Yinshu is less than eighty miles away from Yanjing, and he can arrive in two hours. If you defeat the silver technique, it is equivalent to breaking the oblique arm. (To be continued.) )
