Chapter 613: Heading North (3)

In the Battle of Fuping in 1130, Song Liao fought another main battle, when Lou Mu was seriously ill and still led the army to fight. At the beginning of the war, Wanyan Zongbi, as the main force, had been repelled by the Song army, and the right flank of the Jurchen army was on the verge www.biquge.info of collapse.

In the end, he led the Jurchen army to win the Battle of Fuping, and after the war, Yan Lou died of illness, and then was posthumously named King Xin, and later renamed King of Kaiyuan.

Such a person, prestige and self-respect......

At this moment, in the Chinese army camp outside Yingzhou City, the Jurchen generals were arguing about the departure and stay of several military horses.

Wanyan Lou ignored them, walked to Yin Keshu's side in a few steps, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Yin Keshu's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand to signal the generals under his command to stop a little, and then said to Lou Room with a solemn expression: "Make sure that Yingzhou is important, shrink the troops, strengthen the city defense, and wait for Zong Han to come." ”

Lou Mu's question was simple, and Yin Keshu also answered directly, Lou Mu's generals heard Yin Keshu's execution, and let out a huge boo, and the generals under Yin Keshu's command suddenly became gray, and this time they didn't have the face to fight with them anymore.

Yingzhou City is only well guarded, although these people in their own family do not have the will to fight to the death with Yingzhou's strong enemy, but the main general said so, everyone is still very faceless......

Lou Mu waved his hand again, suppressed those subordinates who were ready to simply taunt Yin Keshu, and frowned: "Yin Keshu, this is not like you, this is not how you fight." ”

He looked around left and right, pointed and said: "Zong Han should have already set off, but the road to the south is six hundred miles, all of which are lofty mountains and mountains, and the army moves slowly on just one road, not to mention that it still carries so much baggage, and it will take at least twenty days for the main force to arrive." I know that the enemy is a strong army, and Yingzhou fought hard in this battle! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to grab so many dangers, but we were trapped here, and we couldn't have enough food, so we could only hold our heads and be beaten. We Jurchens have always been moving to fight, otherwise how could we defeat millions of Liao troops? Only by pushing the enemies from the periphery a little farther away can we better ensure the safety of this place......"

After Yan Lou looked at Yin Keshu again, his expression was sincere: "Yin Keshu, I know that you have suffered heavy losses in these two battles, and there are some bastards who want to speak." But don't you care, Zong Han doesn't know you yet? We've always fought side by side, don't let these things hurt your spirit...... There are still undead people in war? If we were afraid of the dead, we wouldn't have to raise an army to destroy Liao. You said that this military horse in front of you is not from Liao, it is very strange, I will lead the troops to fight, explore the truth, you will stay and ensure the safety of here. ”

Yin Keshu's expression is rare and a little bitter, this kind of look, in this iron fight, it is also like this, the face of the Jurchen heavy general who fought all the way up from the bottom is really rare, Lou Room said that it is naturally right, the war should be fought like this, no matter what, you can't just hold your head and be beaten, Lou Room's department is sharp, push it out to fight, and its own department stays behind, and the room for maneuver is much greater, when he saw the corpse of the peripheral sentinel, Yin Keshu's first reaction was also like this.

But he didn't know why, his intuition told him that it might be more advantageous to use Yingzhou City as bait to besiege them! But this kind of intuition, after all, can't be counted, what Lou Room said, is the right reason, the army is here, Yingzhou City is obviously dead, where can there be a big fish so stupid to bump into?

But Lou Room is gone, the vicinity of Yingzhou City is empty, and only less than 1,000 people are left to defend it, and the enemy takes advantage of the weakness to enter? This thought arose, Yin Keshu quickly refuted himself in his heart, there were mountains and mountains all around, and the snow was all over the ground, Lou Room pushed out to fight again, and opened a bigger warning curtain, where would there be a large army that could take advantage of the gap to kill in? If a small group of military horses comes, the nearly 1,000 soldiers under his command will be able to deal with it......

Right? Another important thing is that no matter how you decide. Although he is known as the main general, Lou Room has always respected himself as a character from a small department, but his own family can't force Lou Room to listen to all orders! Lou Room has already put forward his own opinion, and it is reasonable, even Zong Han has to give face, let alone his own family!

The thought has been decided, and Yin Keshu is also very happy, and said to Lou Mur: "In this case, I will stay behind, Lou Mur, you go out to fight, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, the key is to find out the truth of this military horse!" Lou Mu, this military horse should be the one I bumped into, you should be more serious. ”

Lou Room smiled, stroked his chest and saluted: "Yin Keshu, I listen to you." ”

After receiving the order, Wan Yan Lou simply turned around and left, and shouted loudly: "Let's all light up the sons!" Bring enough grain and forage, and bring less bullet pressure with those cangtou, so as to save the drag, let's go out and fight! The generals under his command cheered loudly, hugged Yan Lou's room and walked towards the outside of the fort, and while walking, he only looked back with contemptuous eyes, and he couldn't help but look back at Yin Keshu and Xi Yin's subordinates, only Yin Keshu, still silent, just looked up and looked at the hunting banner fluttering on Yingzhou City overhead, thoughtfully.

……

Most of the 2,000 and hundreds of cavalry of the Shence Army are local elites in Yunnei, with nearly 2,000 miscellaneous horses, mules and donkeys, carrying food and materials with the army. Such a luxurious lineup, even after the opening of the Great Song River, war horses are not as scarce as in the past few decades, and it is also rare and unheard of! You must know that the white soldiers and heavy cavalry that the Western Army easily made up back then were almost 5,000 people, and the qualified war horses were only about sixty percent, the horses were as strong as dragons and eagles, and the people were fierce like tigers and wolves.

These cavalry are basically grouped into the category of light cavalry, but they are all lined with leather armor and a layer of chain mail on the outside. Some sergeants also bring an extra set of scale armor with a protective heart, and throw it to the auxiliary camel belt, this degree of armor is almost much the same as a heavy horse, that is, a war horse mount, there is also a thick white stacked cloth for the horse cover, several layers of white stacked cotton hammered into a layer, and then the outside is a waterproof tarpaulin, which can not only keep out the cold and moisture but also have a certain protective ability.

But the cost is remarkable, every soldier, whether born in Hedong Danzhou or Yunnei, the blades are all kinds of complete, almost everyone has a horse lance made of fine work, some big families even have spare, horse swords, long knives, iron bones and other melee blades, each person with a fork and fork has at least three or four handles, not to mention the strong bow and crossbow, the feather arrows and arrows are all selected from the Bianliang arsenal.

With such a degree of equipment, it can simply flash the eyes of the blind kryptonite dog, even Zong Han's personal guard Mouke, can only be stunned, and the other materials transported with the army are simple, only the grain is sufficient, the grain is refined mixed and fried wheat of jerky, the best meat sauce boiled out, a jar of salt and eggs, a gourd and a gourd of spirits and vinegar, and even the horse material is full of good salt beans and Jiaozhou tribute sugar cubes!

Now in Yingzhou, the Jurchen military horses who are eating boiled meat by plundering some miscellaneous grains and beans and killing horses and mules have to swallow saliva when they see Han Shizhong's horses eating, the Great Song Dynasty is proud of the heroes in this era, and this group of heroes is still at the level of the earth.

It's just that this national strength has never been exerted at the turn of the two Song Dynasty, although the Shence Army is elite, but after all, the scale is still limited, Yang Ling can only do his best to arm it to the teeth, in order to use it to suppress other forces, in the face of a life-and-death enemy like the Jurchen, thanks to Yang Ling is very good at holding money, and he is quite willing to spend money.

Thousands of cavalry troops moved up to pull out the battle than the same number of infantry troops several times larger, on the way to the march, rolled up all the way to the jade dragon like snow dust, helmet reflection snow light, dazzling, the remnants of the walled fort in the cloud to see this kind of military appearance, all only feel trembling, some people know the banner of the Song army better, and the small number of elite children who have been collected in their own walled fort are running in the outpost of the army to explore the way.

At this time, they suddenly understood that this army that suddenly appeared and crisscrossed the land in the clouds turned out to be the banner of the Song army, no wonder it was possible to transport so many old and weak people who consumed food in vain to the east of the Great Song Dynasty in one trip!

For the people of Yunnei, after the collapse of the Great Liao rule, they attacked and plundered each other, and the original system completely collapsed.

For these local powerful factions, they are not willing to surrender, the reason is very simple, such a big empire has collapsed, for the people of Yunnei, they don't care who they surrender to, the key is to surrender to a strong enough party, and the days of chaos are enough after one time!

Now it is exposed that the army is just a vest used by the Song people, for the former Liao people in the land of Yunnei, they have a more sense of belonging to this force, how to say that the Great Song is also a huge empire, and the Great Liao has been known in the world for more than 100 years, and the Jurchen Tartars are ferocious, and they have slaughtered countless cities along the way, causing a huge wave of refugees in the north.

The Great Song Dynasty is very rich, no matter from which point of view, it is stronger than the Jurchen Tartars who came out of the deep mountains and old forests, and these heroes who suddenly realized that after they figured out the reality of the Song Army, they all thought that they could send more children to the army, and they would be famous and rich in the Great Song Dynasty in the future!

As for the force of the Great Song Dynasty, the rumor of the weakness of the southerners was almost a politically correct understanding in Liao.

However, for these local heroes, shallow eyelids are also a common feature, and now this elite of the Shence Army, which is like a dragon, is no less than a heavenly soldier in their eyes! With such a strong army, those Jurchen Tartars who have never met but only heard rumors are not afraid that they will not be able to resist, right?

Those Jurchen Tartars only need to be individuals, can they still be three-headed and six-armed? It's better to serve these tough Song people. I can't say that I can leave this bird place that has almost become a white land, bitter cold and hardship, and enjoy the blessings in the Song people's flowers and mountains!

Han Shizhong's journey to the north unexpectedly played a role in deterring the land in the clouds. The march of the cavalry brigade is not much faster than that of the infantry brigade, horses and mules are more tired and sick than people, and serving these animals is a technical job, and it is difficult to maintain a good condition for a long time.

Originally, I thought that the heroes in these walled forts might not be willing to return to them, and it was a somewhat troublesome thing to replenish and recuperate along the way, but to Han Shizhong's surprise. The news that his strong army had gone north spread like wings among the local heroes in the land of Yunnei, and he replenished and rested all the way, but he was quite enthusiastic in receiving and entertaining, not only trying his best to take out their own fine grain and good straw to replenish the army horses, but even if he lost his cattle on the way, it was not difficult to ask Wubao for replenishment.

The local Haoqiang is even more desperate to see Han Shizhong, and wants to stuff a few more elite children to the sentry camp, in the troubled times, life is as cheap as paper, even if it is a little status Haoqiang's children, and in the troubled times, it is also a good time to choose a side, and it is impossible to struggle for the family's future hundred years of wealth!

It is simply not worth mentioning the lives of a few children, because of this factor, the speed of Han Shizhong's army going north is much faster than expected, but in six or seven days, it will reach the mountains and mountains near Yingzhou, and Han Shizhong also cautiously deployed the brigade outside the mountains, sending more sentinels to explore the reality of the mountain roads and passages in various places.

Now what Han Shizhong is eagerly waiting for is what the situation is in Yingzhou, and the sentinel he sent first did not let him wait too long, Han Shizhong's camp was set up on a high hill, and there was a big tent of the Chinese army on the high hill, and there was a camp tent under the command of the Chinese cavalry.

The periphery is fenced and snow trenches, and the four corners of the watchtower are set up, and the other cavalry commanders are in command, walking left and right, like plum blossom petals, they are spread out into a camp, and the stamens where the Chinese army's big tent are firmly guarded, the distance between each other, the strong crossbow can be connected, and in each camp, there is a passage that is enough for the cavalry to attack, which is the standard cavalry army.

The main force of the vanguard is set up here to stabilize the camp and open up, and every day there will be three or four hundred cavalry sentry spouts to open the power search curtain of the cavalry, and also send an equal number of teams of distant outposts, the main force of the vanguard of the entire Shence army to the north, like a dangerous animal with all its tentacles open, vigilantly lying on the ground less than a hundred miles away from the city of Yingzhou, waiting to spy on the reality of the enemy in front of him, and then make the most rapid and powerful response.

At this moment, in the simple decoration of Han Shizhong's Chinese army tent, Lu Junyi and other soldiers were swaying and trying their best to stand straight. Especially Yang Zaixing, who has been in the field for the longest time, has the most bitter sentinels, and his face is full of openings blown by the cold wind, and blood scabs and ice ballast are mixed together.

But they still used their last strength to maintain the demeanor of a soldier, for no other reason, standing in front of them was Han Shizhong, who was young but the name of bravery was served by the whole army, and the whole army was feared, not to mention that Han Shizhong was young, and he was already in the position of the pinnacle of the Great Song Dynasty Wuchen!
