Chapter 672: Shaken on All Fronts (1)

In the matter of rear transfer, although the battle is about logistics, there is no qualified military general who does not attach importance to this aspect. The defense line here www.biquge.info has been operating since the Shence Army arrived in Hedong, accumulating grain and grass and military resources, and now it is not to say that it is piled up or scarce, and even the rear transfer is cut off, and it is much more energy-consuming than the Jurchen Tartars in person.

The defense line is stable, there is no shortage of military funds, it stands to reason that as a general, he should be satisfied, but Han Shizhong can't sleep well these days, every night, he is always worried about where something has happened, and the biggest worry is the west of his house, so he has been holding a military horse in his hand, ready to help in that direction at any time.

According to Han Shizhong's thoughts, the army and horses of the Fold family can be regarded as capable of fighting, even if the Jurchen breaks the border from the direction of Lanzhou, it can be supported for a while? At that time, it was just to turn around and rush back to help, should it be too late? Just when Han Shizhong was about to cheer up and deal with these small things in the army, he heard the sound of a galloping horse's hooves suddenly sounded outside, and for a while, he didn't know how many horses, rushing towards the location of the Chinese army in Gaoyan Village!

Han Shizhong pushed away the generals who were still waiting for him in front of him, and strode out of the enemy building. Standing on the wall of the wall, I saw more than ten horsemen, carrying flags on their backs to hunt and hunt and dance, were galloping, and there were rumors that the horsemen had not entered Gaoyan Village, so they shouted loudly: "The Tartars are out of the whole line, attacking the village!" ”

Han Shizhong was stunned, and immediately turned his head and shouted: "Armor for someone!" What about the cow gao? What about Huang Wenjin? Let's take a look! ”

Countless horns, whining, groups of Jurchen military horses, seemed to be spread out of sight, on the ground, dust rolled, and groups of Jurchen military horses rushed in the direction of the south. In addition to the auxiliary tribal army, there are also Jurchen armor soldiers, surging like iron streams, reflecting one piece of metallic light after another.

Thousands of military horses, still with auxiliary armies and tribal armies as the vanguard, drilled into the thousands of ravines of Huangwei Mountain, at least at the same time, launched an attack on dozens of military villages! How many as 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses are used? And there are brigades, which are coming from the north in an endless stream!

This offensive, from the dawn has been launched, in front of dozens of military villages into a pot of porridge, this offensive on the whole front, the Jurchen army does not care about human life, just in front of the military village stalking, one team can not attack, then the other team up, and against the military village, also built a camp, seems to be preparing to do a long-term siege!

When Han Shizhong rushed to the front line, the battle had already lasted for half a day, and Han Shizhong arrived on a beacon tower high on a mountain, with an unobstructed view of the vision.

How many military villages ago, the sound of killing shook the sky, and I saw the Jurchen military horses rolling up layer by layer like a tide. And in the military village, how many strong bows and crossbows are fired like flying locusts, and some military villages also have stone cannons, and the polished stone projectiles fly out and fall into the dense Jurchen army, which is a blur of flesh and blood.

After the Jurchen military horses attacked the wall, from time to time the gate of the village opened, and the heavy armored infantry warriors of the Shence Army came out with long blades, and the cold light rolled, and the Jurchen military horses that rushed close to the wall were scattered layer by layer!

Half of the Jurchen army consumed human lives in half a day is several times greater than before!

What Han Shizhong saw was such a scene of fierce battles on all fronts, and the Jurchen military horses still looked like they were not dying, and they seemed to be ready to fight like this, even if they filled it with human lives and gnawed with their teeth, they would gnaw away the defense line of the Shence Army!

Niu Gao, who was standing beside Han Shizhong, had a lot of blood in his veins, and he slapped his fist fiercely: "General, just fight like this!" Pull the Chinese army up and accompany the Jurchen Tartars to the end! Look at how many lives these dog tartars have! ”

Huang Wenjin behind Niu Gao couldn't help nodding, this sentence also won his heart, following Han Shizhong's side, except for fighting one or two ranger battles in Yunnei and cutting off a few Tartar heads, it is difficult to see blood at other times, and it has long been boring, and the Jurchen Tartars seem to be desperate this time, isn't this a good kill?

Han Shizhong's face sank like water.

Such an offensive seems tragic. But the defense system built by the Great Song Dynasty, coupled with the strong army such as the Shence Army, how could it be filled by human lives? And just can't last long, how many days can such an offensive last? Is it a famous general's work to throw human lives at such a cost?

The mountain wind came with the sound of shouting and killing, but Han Shizhong was shocked.

This is dragging the main force of the Shence Army! In such an offensive, in addition to the more than 2,000 elites of the Chinese army that he still controls, other forces will be firmly nailed to the defensive line, at least until the offensive has not declined, and the Jurchen Tartars have to nail their main forces to the front at the cost of so many lives, not to mention that other places have opportunities to take advantage of!

There can't be a problem with Lu Junyi, then the west has opened a gap for the Jurchen Tartars!

What is the straight thief's broken family army for?

Han Shizhong turned around violently and waved his hand and ordered: "Send the Chuanchuan to ride out and find out the military situation in the west!" Quick payback! ”

……

Zong Han was dressed in a slightly old armor, looking back to the east, watching the Jurchen armor in the distance drive the auxiliary army and the tribal army to step forward and join the flesh and blood mill before joining the Song army's military village.

And in front of him, rolling westward, it was all an army dominated by true Jurchens!

This time, the army of 150,000 went south, the real Jurchen 60,000, more than 20,000 Wanyan Lou room in front of Yanmen Pass, and 40,000 under his command, except for the 10,000 led by Wanyan Xiyin, who drove the auxiliary tribal army to drag the military horses of the Southern Dynasty in front of him, the rest of the elites went west and went south along the gap opened by Yinkeshu!

Sure enough, the military horses of the Southern Dynasty are still as he knows, although a strong army suddenly emerged, but the others are still vulnerable!

So, let's see which of us is moving fast, fighting behind him, and Han Shizhong has already turned south, fortunately the military headquarters of the Shence Army has been controlled by him, and when he guessed that the Jurchen army was attacking the front and thought that it was contained, in fact, it was possible to break through the border from the west, Han Shizhong immediately dispatched the four commanders of the elite horse army of the Chinese army, more than 1,000 horsemen, lightly packed with grain, and quickly went south, and then turned in the direction of Lanshui, passing through Jingle County, to block the boundary between the Ninghua army and the Lan army, and the Luling on the Lan Mountain!

As a heavy general under Yang Ling, Han Shizhong also understands Yang Ling's current strategic layout, which is to try his best to reconcile the Western Army system. Yao Gu was sent to the door, and if he didn't devour and deter, it would be regarded as weakness. However, Yang Ling's residence in the dynasty, no matter how it spreads, will not touch the sphere of influence of the Western military system for the time being.

Although Han Shizhong has always been worried about the weakness of the western flank, he has always restrained himself from occupying this rather important Luling Pass. Otherwise, there is a Jurchen army in front of him, and he will turn his face with the Zhe family behind his back, which will be a big trouble, and it will also greatly hinder the overall situation of Yang Ling.

But now, I can't hesitate anymore!

Although because of the isolation of the Jurchen military horses in person, it is not really possible to detect whether the main force of the Jurchen military horses has turned to the west. The news of whether the direction of the Lan army is a breach has not yet come exactly, but Han Shizhong has shown the overall situation and determination of a real heavy general at this time.

Although Han Shizhong looks a little unreliable on weekdays, and he is also a little beyond the ordinary in terms of enjoyment, good mansions, good wine, good gold beads, good games, and good girls. But this guy is a person with great wisdom, he chooses sides, never makes mistakes, and at critical times, he also grits his teeth, grasps the key points, and is open-minded!

Now the focus is on the final decisive battle with the Jurchens, and we must not lose the initiative at the beginning, although the Jurchen Tartars attack in front of them are fierce, but relying on the defense system, they can hold on to it, and once the side direction is lost, it will be the shaking trend of the entire Hedong war situation! Even if his family rushed desperately and snatched Luling down, it turned out to be a false alarm, and it was also a bad thing to fold the army, so he showed this face, and then carried the black pot and asked the court to punish him for his crimes, and it is estimated that he can get through it.

As soon as he sniffed out that the battle situation in front of him was wrong, Han Shizhong immediately took action, immediately dispatched troops to lead him south, and went to Luling as quickly as possible, and at the same time immediately sent out the cavalry, one to inform Lu Junyi's department at Yanmen Pass, and the other to report Yang Ling, who was probably already on the way to the expedition at this moment, and at the same time prayed desperately in his heart, I hope that when my old Han arrives, Luling has not been lost!

The Shence Army is worthy of being the old foundation of Yang Ling's beginnings, and with an order, the Chinese army headquarters that was waiting for the rest of the army immediately selected and transferred the elite to set off, and the four commanders of more than 1,000 cavalry were all the mobile forces that could be drawn out at this moment, and everything did not take two or three hours of preparation time. When they set off, it was already nightfall, and these more than 1,000 horsemen followed Han Shizhong to the south in the night.

The firelight shook all the way, and the villages and towns in the Fenhe River valley watched the firelight walk like a dragon in the night, all of them shook their hearts, how was the battle with the Jurchen? The name of the Shence Army is well-known, can it keep the peace of the Hedong side?

In this war with the Jurchens, in the midst of internal and external troubles in the Great Song Dynasty, what was the final outcome? A dark night and half a day passed, Han Shizhong led more than 1,000 light horses, had traveled more than 200 miles, after passing through the cave valley village, turned to the southwest, along the direction of the junction of the Ninghua Army and Xianzhou, and ran towards Luling.

If the Lan army breaks through the border and enters, more than 200 miles to the south, it is the junction of the Lan army, the Ninghua army, Xianzhou, and Lanzhou, and the Lan Mountain in the northeast of this junction has been lowered, and the Luliang Mountain area stretching from the southwest is also low. Several roads are forming on this side that allow for a certain number of military horses. Lanshui flows here in an east-west direction, where it divides into two roads, one to the east into the Fen River, and the other to the south, flowing through the range of Loufu County, Yifang County, Xianzhou.

In a word, this is a passage into the Fen River valley from the west, and if it is lost, let the enemy enter from the west. Then the Shence army that is congested on the edge of the Ninghua army is being copied from the back road, and the enemy can encircle the Shence army to the north, and to the south, it can go straight to Taiyuan Mansion!

The people of the Great Song Dynasty naturally never forgot this place when they ran the Hedong defense system. At the junction of Lanjun and Lanzhou, the Flying Kite Fort and Luling were set up to block it. Within the scope of the Ninghua Army, a cave valley village was set up to respond.

Han Shizhong's trip is to plug this gap!

More than 200 miles of galloping down, the people and horses are tired and soft-boned, from time to time there are war horses that can't run and abandon them on the side of the road, fortunately, these four commanders are all prepared horses, so there is no delay, on weekdays, so many war horses are scrapped, even Yang Ling's command has to do everything to pick up the first equipment The Shence Army is also very distressed, but now no one can take care of it, the horses are like this, and the more hard-working Song army soldiers are also gritting their teeth to support, no one dares to stop and rest for a while!

For no other reason, they came all the way to the south, and then turned west through the cave valley village. Finally, on the way, I saw the refugees who had fled across the Lan Mountain, and also brought the news that the Jurchen Tartars had broken through the border exactly!

In this way, the local defenders have not had time to return, Han Shizhong has already hurried south, seeing the scene of the Chinese cavalry desperately rushing south, and seeing the banner of Han Shizhong in front, but for the people in the Shence army, who does not secretly praise in his heart, a good Han general, and reacts quickly!

The military information obtained from the refugees is fragmented and scattered, but it also roughly outlines a whole picture, the Jurchen Tartars broke through the border a few days ago, and the slightest resistance seems to have never been encountered. The beacon fire kept burning from north to south, as if the Jurchen Tartars would enter the hinterland of the Lan army at high speed in an instant, and as for the defense of the Lan army, what kind of war happened, there was no definite news.

Such fragmentary news is enough to make Han Shizhong no longer sympathetic to the soldiers' mounts, and move forward desperately, now is the time to fight to see if this gap can be blocked!

In addition, Han Shizhong had to scold all the way in his heart, the straight thief's folded family, and his great reputation, but he easily penetrated the Lan army, and at first glance, he went west to avoid the war, as long as my old Han does not die, there will be a chance to fold your straight thief in the future!

The sound of horses' hooves, the Song army armor soldiers walked through the Lanshui River Valley, the road was quite broken, and the mountains on both sides had already seemed to be somewhat calm. Although the water next to him splashed broken jade, but the Song army soldiers from Han Shizhong down, everyone was covered with dust and dry color, and no one had time to stop and scrub a little.

Suddenly, the sentry in front stopped, and they all pulled out their blades, opened their bows and arrows, and Han Shizhong, who was trying his best to relax his body on the saddle and save his physical strength, woke up at once, and urged the horse to rush forward. Niu Gao and Huang Wenjin, who went south with him, also gathered their spirits and guarded them tightly.

Without waiting for the whistle to scream, I heard Song dialect coming from the opposite side, which was the Hedong accent: "Master Jun, we have escaped from the Lan Army!" Don't shoot arrows! ”

The Sentry Armor shouted, "Raise your hands and come out of the rocks to examine!" The slightest change in this arrow is unrecognizable! (To be continued.) )
