Chapter 30: The Fall

Speaking of which, it seems that the Song army took advantage of the Jin soldiers in a place like Shanxi, but in fact, there are not many people who can do it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info This not only has high requirements for generals and soldiers, but also has many requirements for the court in the rear. At the very least, the imperial court in Kaifeng should not point fingers at the generals on the front line.

A long time ago, the ancestors of China said, "The king will not be subject to the king's life outside", why? It is because under the conditions of the ancient cold weapon war, things on the battlefield changed overnight, and the imperial court behind it simply did not have time to respond to the changes on the front line in a timely manner. The outcome of a war often depends on a critical moment, so how can we wait for the center behind to speak before acting?

In the era of cold weapons, the so-called "strategizing in the battle and winning thousands of miles away" is just idiot's babble.

He has been in the army all his life, and when he was a child, he was decided by the elders of his family to take the road of military merit, and he was already familiar with how to fight. Even if the battle formation in front of him was broken by the golden soldiers, he did not panic, but just ordered the reserve to be filled in.

The Song army, which had been dispersed, dragged its weapons and ran from the mountains on both sides to the rear of the military formation. The army of the folded family is very strict in governing the army, and those who dare to attack the army formation are all beheaded.

A second wave of heavily armored sergeants roared and rushed forward, colliding with the golden soldiers who were pouring in like a tidal wave. Steel and blood have become the main theme of this land in an instant. The crossbowmen of the Song army, who had occupied the high slopes of the mountain, began to shoot at the archers of the forbidden army after relieving themselves.

In such a confrontation process, the competition is who shoots faster and who can be shot without falling. Although the Song army has many shortcomings, it will only do better than the Jin people in the area of ordnance. With more crossbowmen, with better armor, I'll ask you, Wyvern Riding Face .... Eh, how can a strong bow and a hard crossbow step man lose?

"Shoot!" A low-level military attache ignored the arrows fired by the Jin soldiers and roared, "One hundred steps to the left, shoot!" ”

"Buzz", the bowstring bounced open, oscillating back and forth, sending a burst of trills in the air. Hundreds of arrows fly high into the air and then convert gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy under the action of gravity. The high-speed arrows pierced into the muscles of the rape, and the sharp tufts tore through the muscles and brought out the blood.

Heavily armored warriors are immune to some ranged damage, but where do the Golden Soldiers have so much heavy armor? Except for the trappers, it would be nice for the rest to have a pair of leather armor. Under the continuous long-range attacks of the Song army, the Jin soldiers finally ran out of sharp energy and broke up towards the rear.

This situation was staged several times in a row, and the division relied on its superiority in armament, and always won more and lost less in the big battle with the Jin people, pushing the battle line to less than a hundred miles away from Taiyuan. Under the pressure of the seed division, the main force of the Jin soldiers of the West Road swarmed in, wanting to defeat the elite of the Song army in one fell swoop.

The situation seems to be not bad for the Song people, if it is a blood fight, it must be stronger in the Song Dynasty. Even if hundreds of thousands of people die, the Song army can continue to fight. But as long as tens of thousands of Jurchen soldiers died, the rule of the Jin State would be shaken.

However, two events occurred in quick succession, which made the situation take a sharp turn for the worse. First of all, Yao Gu's general Jiao An said that the commander of the Jin army, Wanyan Zonghan (Sticky Han), had arrived, causing Yao Gu and Zhang Hao's armies to stop patrolling and failing to meet with the central part of the division as agreed.

Secondly, when the middle of the division was forced to retreat to kill Xiongling (now southwest of Shouyang, Shanxi), the soldiers were already hungry and exhausted, after the Jin soldiers found out the situation in the middle of the division, they launched a fierce attack again, the Song army with a shortage of military food and low morale could no longer withstand it, the right army and the front army were scattered one after another, and the Chinese army led by the division did not retreat, from the time of the battle to the time, the soldiers of the Song army repelled the Jin soldiers with a divine arm bow, but because the reward was not brought, there was no way to give a reward to the soldiers, and the soldiers who fought to the death did not get the reward very angry, Unwilling to fight again.

The old custom of the five generations of the Song Dynasty is that soldiers must sound before they fight, and they must also sound when they win. Those soldiers were usually oppressed so badly that they thought of making a small fortune by fighting. Not only the Song army, but most of the ancient armies were like this. If the reward is not handed down, what will be said to have repelled the enemy......

Please, don't you know the virtues of the Zhao family? By the end of the war, it definitely didn't count. Those military men who made a fuss, weren't the heads of the people who were killed that time?

Mom's, the big guy is desperate to kill the enemy, and Zhao Guan's family doesn't even give out rewards, so this is still playing a ball? Anyway, we don't have the surname Zhao, you can play by yourself!

After repelling the attack of the Jin, the reward was swallowed, or it was really too late to send it, anyway, the final result was that the enraged soldiers were no longer willing to fight, and scattered in all directions. The seed master led the remaining more than 100 soldiers around him to continue to fight desperately, and finally the seed master was seriously injured everywhere and hated the territory.

Among the divisions was a famous general of the Song army, and after his defeat and death, the morale of all parts of the Song army was greatly affected. After sacrificing his life for the country, the minister Liu Tao said to the court, please give it a gift, and the court issued an edict to give the young master, and said Zhuang Shu.

Although the Song Dynasty was very harsh on the soldiers, often tattooing words on their faces, they were very generous to the generals. Probably in the eyes of the emperor and ministers, military generals are greedy for money, how can those who are not greedy for money fight well? It is to rely on the reward of money to maintain the desire of generals and soldiers to fight.

This time, however, they finally got away with it.....

Because of the defeat in Shanxi, Li Gang and others were not immune to being implicated. No matter what reason Li Gang chose that kind of military deployment at that time, and whether he really couldn't scrape together enough money to supply the army at the front, but it was a real thing to lose troops and lose ground.

The emperor didn't want to carry this pot, so he had to buckle it on the minister's body. If Li Gang was a veteran of the Three Dynasties like Han Qi, maybe there would be a ...... Even Han Qi only wiped out tens of thousands of troops back then, and it was not to the point of losing a fortified city like Taiyuan.

After the battle slashing division, the Jin soldiers pulled the prisoners captured on the battlefield and the spoils they got to the city of Taiyuan, which greatly damaged the morale of the defenders. If there is no reinforcement outside, there is no city to defend inside. Taiyuan City, which had been held out for a long time, was finally captured by the Jin soldiers.

For Wanyan Zonghan, this is how he moved back to the situation, proving that he is no worse than Wanyan Zongwang. For the Jin people, it was to shatter the hardest shell of the Song Dynasty, and then, Tokyo Bianliang was completely exposed to the blades of the Jin soldiers.

As long as there are people of insight, they can see that it is only a matter of time before the Jin people go south again. But it seems that Song Qinzong does not seem to think so, and he and his ministers think that they are smarter than others. Therefore, they decided to sue for peace with Jin Bing. Maybe those golden people suddenly became peaceful people after they got a lot of money?

However, if the Song Dynasty is destroyed, won't all those things be Jin?
