Yang Ling's prestige, although it cannot be said that he is thunderous in every field of the Great Song Dynasty, at least he is a well-deserved first person in the army except for the old race.

When he was in Yandi before, he was probably only known by his own sons and a few lieutenant generals, but this was only for the middle and upper echelons of the Northern Expeditionary Army and some veterans who were sensitive to military affairs to a certain extent. But even if they had already been mentally prepared, that is, Yang Ling might get up in the future war, but no one expected that along the way, Yang Ling would fight so jaw-dropping and exciting.

If Yang Ling's small battles at the beginning gradually appeared in Yang Keshi's sight, so Yang Keshi's kindness to him has nothing to say, and it is precisely because of this that Yang Keshi fell into the elite soldiers and strong generals among Yang Ling's soldiers and horses, so that in the end, Yang Ling just happened to take a risk.

Pay attention to the wording here, it just has the qualifications to take a risk, at that time, Yang Ling also pinched a handful of sweat for himself, what did he rely on at that time? It depends on the prediction of the direction of history and some luck elements.

When the Northern Expedition was in a state of hesitation and sluggishness, Yang Ling recovered Zhuoyi Erzhou, and this battle really made the Western Army of the Northern Expedition and even the Liao people remember him.

But later, the face of history began to change, and there was no longer a prediction, and every battle was fought by Yang Ling and his subordinates.

defeated Xiao Gan, Yandi repelled Yan Zongbi's Jurchen soldiers and horses, this time after Yang Ling is really famous, and when he reaches the peak, he is also on the cusp.

For the Great Song Dynasty military horse, whose combat strength seemed to be exhausted, it was tantamount to a shot in the arm.

At this time, no one would deny the combat effectiveness of the Divine Ce Army created by Yang Ling.

Even if there is no combat power, the forbidden army is an army. It's all about some admiration for Yang Ling.

For no other reason, Yang Ling's war history is too incredible and exciting.

Yang Lingfen's situation was a bit complicated, after arriving in Hedong, there were official constraints and suspicions from the center of the imperial court.

In fact, it shows that the situation is even more serious than this, that is, there is a problem of the Western Army.

For Yang Ling. When he started, he did rely on a lot of the Western Army, at least Yang Keshi, and the old minister gave him a lot of support both openly and secretly. Even though it was the Western Army at the bottom who fought for most of Yang Ling's senses, most of them felt good, but in the upper echelons of the Western Army, they were absolutely eager to swallow Yang Ling and the Jinyang Army and the Shence Army immediately.

There is no other reason, the Western Army has been brilliant for so many years, not to mention anything else, in recent years, it has beaten the Western Xia to the point that even Hengshan does not dare to cross a step easily, that is, the labor expedition. Below, it also flattened a square wax by the way.

But after the Northern Expedition, the Western Army was defeated again and again, and it was humiliated in front of the people of the whole country.

The momentum of the Western Army is no longer there, but Yang Ling almost stepped on the face of the Western Army, he defeated the soldiers and horses that the Western Army couldn't beat, and he also beat down the cities that the Western Army couldn't beat.

Therefore, there is also some annoyance and anger. Some of the middle- and upper-level generals of the Young Zhuang faction in the Western Army have still been in their mouths until now. "Yang Ling's house, the luck road is really against the sky, but it must not be able to jump for a few days."

Not to mention the military horses of the Jinyang Army that Yang Ling is now directly leading, the skeleton is also composed of the former Huanqing Army.

The generals of the Western Army who are a little bit of a good man can't help but sigh, "Straight lady thief, this guy is simply the super killer of the Western Army." Perfect nemesis, when we meet such a demon-level character, our Western Army has also fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes. "It is also a skill of Yang Ling to make so many people think about this, the Western Army is too big, so they have different ideas. The military men at the bottom only think that such a commander is okay, he is extremely powerful in fighting, and he treats his subordinates broadly, which is basically good.

The other type is the Shaozhuang faction that Fang just said has some resistance to Yang Ling, and the third type of people is a little terrifying, this kind of people have a large part of the right to speak in the Western Army, that is, similar to the small race Xianggong, Xihe Army Yao Gu and others, their qualifications are old enough, and the officials are almost at the top of the pyramid of the Wuchen generation.

If it weren't for the old Xianggong who was helping Yang Ling with euphemistic means, I am afraid that the Western Army would have cooperated with He Guan and his ilk to drive the soldiers and horses to the east of the river.

So by now, the old man is already seriously ill, and half of the loess is buried in the old man's chest, and he is also more than willing to deal with the affairs of the Western Army on weekdays.

But after all, the prestige of the old breed has never been moved, there used to be a Tong Guan on top, and now I can't find a second person, as for the Zhao Song official family that everyone usually talks about, you asked the official family to come to Guanzhong to beat me?

The whip is out of reach, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the tail is too big to say that this is such a situation, so the imperial court is quite jealous of the special accident of the Western Army.

Although there is an old breed of Xianggong on the side of Yang Ling's matter, although it is not possible to provoke the fight between the Western Army and the Jinyang Army for a while, but to say two ugly words, how long can the old Xianggong persist physically and mentally exhausted?

After all, this old man was already riddled with diseases, and when he arrived at Yang Ling, he finally reached an agreement with Wang Hao, and the difficulties in front of him were finally solved, but what Yang Ling had to face was the Jurchen army of Yinkeshu.

To say that a mere Dazu County is absolutely unable to withstand such an army, Lu Junyi and Huang Wenjin are also unable to fight, and after two battles with the rangers in front, they retreated with the people.

When he arrived at the Shuozhou camp, the problem he had to face was whether the newly reorganized Hedong Forbidden Army could be trained in the shortest possible time, and it was precisely for this reason that when he arrived at Yang Ling, he personally rushed to Shuozhou to sit in the town, and even at any cost he came out of a part of his Heiyun Capital soldiers, and mixed the Jinyang soldiers, which made the overall combat effectiveness not decline too much.

Now the situation is already a little complicated, Yin Keshu bypassed Yue Fei's 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Yingzhou, and came straight to Shuozhou, and in a short period of time, several county towns have been broken.

Although the Jurchen Tartars did not have the idea of attacking the city of Shuozhou for a while, the strategic purpose of the Jurchens had been achieved.

Yin Keshu is worthy of being the top first-class military general in this era, and the Jurchen soldiers and horses are like a sharp knife stabbed into the vital point of the Jinyang army, and it is between the two states of Shuoying. The most important thing is that there are 20,000 Jinyang army soldiers in Yingzhou, and the passage to the south has been cut off by Yinkeshu. After all, not long after the annexation of Yingzhou, there was absolutely no capital to supply the 20,000 army for long-term combat, and the supply line to the south was cut off, which was already extremely bad.

Could it be that the main force of the 20,000 army will be pulled out to find Yinkeshu in a field battle of life and death?

The Jurchens will never be afraid of a war, and most of the Jinyang army are foot soldiers, and if they have no support in the field, they are just waiting for death, not to mention that the 20,000 soldiers eat horses and chew, as well as auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands, etc. It's not a small battle.

Some people will ask, so isn't it true that the Jurchens are just like this, and there is no supply and no support for grain and grass lines?

There is a problem to be mentioned here, since ancient times, the Han family has fought with soldiers and horses, especially the large army, and has not relied on the strength of the strong economic foundation and logistics to keep up.

This is not the case with ethnic minorities, most of whom are nomadic. The cavalry was the majority, and they drove down for a long time. Drifting back and forth to occupy the initiative on the battlefield, the powerful Han Empire because of the Han Wu Emperor's Northern Expedition to attack the Xiongnu, although the shame of the alliance under the city of the blood ancestors, although the male wolf Juxu makes people's blood boiling, but we need to see clearly that after defeating the Xiongnu, it is also the national strength accumulated by the rule of Wenjing Vertical Arch is exhausted. Since then, the Han Dynasty has entered a period from prosperity to decline.

What's more, the Jurchen people's combat power is also fierce, if the population is a little more, I am afraid it will be another Mongol Empire.

Unlike the Song army, the Jurchens did not need a supply line to fight in one place, they only needed to break a few small cities to supply the needs of the army for several months, even if they did not attack the cities, and plundered the villages. High maneuverability

, strong destructive power, low cost is their biggest characteristic.

So when it comes to the situation in front of him, the situation is indeed a bit complicated, especially for Yang Ling, only about 7,000 soldiers in the Jinyang Army led by his own family are the original veterans of the Jinyang Army, and most of the remaining people are selected from the forbidden army and the Xiang army.

Finally, the two sides reached an agreement, and the preparation was good

The military affairs in Hedong have been rectified, and the dross has finally been eliminated by now.

The rest of the good people always have the scale of 10,000 people, these people have to say that they have physique, but the discipline and ability to endure hardships in the army, as well as the fighting quality in all aspects are more than a step worse than the soldiers in Yang Ling's army, so these people are mixed into the Jinyang army, on the surface, the number of people has indeed expanded several times, but if you consider it fundamentally, Yang Ling's nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, the overall strength is not as good as the previous seven or eight thousand people.

Because when it comes to the real battlefield, it may be because some of these newly formed people and horses are in chaos first, and finally lead to the collapse of the entire group.

Fortunately, where Yang Ling is located, the model of the entire army has already formed a template, especially in terms of military training, with more unique experience and strict discipline.

Over the past few days, there have basically been some strong troops, at least, the grade has been improved more than a little compared to before, and during these times, Yang Ling has continued to release these newcomers and put them in the battlefield area where they are in contact with the Jurchen soldiers and horses for small-scale battles!

For them, although it is a brutal battle, it also achieves the goal of improving their combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, and the battlefield is always the best and fastest place to temper and improve people.

Because every ounce of experience is accumulated with a lot of blood and life.

Yin Keshu was here, and at first he was dismissive of these Song troops, and the battles between the two sides on the sentry always ended with the Song army paying several times the casualties.

However, in the case of Yang Ling in charge, the morale has also improved little by little, at least it will no longer be a nest of soldiers and horses in history who collapsed or collapsed at the touch of a button in Hedong, in real history, the Jurchen army on the west road was led by Wanyan Zonghan, and attacked the city from the north, broke countless checkpoints, and killed until the city of Taiyuan, almost no real corresponding resistance.

In the end, it was only when I arrived at the city of Taiyuan that I found Wang Yu's vow to defend the city, which was really embarrassing.

But in the minds of these Hedong forbidden troops, the confidence of each of them slowly rose.

At least in their concept, the Jurchens are no longer invincible, they are also flesh and blood, and they will be killed by swords and guns.

When Yang Ling arrived here today, I don't know how many people were ecstatic, and there was no other reason, it was a kind of conviction from the heart.

As long as there is a place where Xiao Yang is the master, this battle will definitely be won, and it must be them who will persist until the end, Yang Ling has killed all the way to today's powerful position, I don't know how many of them have won more with less, defeated the strong with the weak, and have been reborn again and again in desperate situations.

And now is just the time for them to make contributions, Yang Ling is talking and laughing among a group of soldiers, and although his every move is approachable, it just gives people a sense of trustworthiness.

"General Xiao Yang, when will we be able to let go of our courage to fight with the Jurchens?"

Yang Ling smiled slightly, "Lao Tzu is not panicking, you are panicking, don't think that only you need the head of the Tartar to be promoted to become rich, and Lao Tzu also wants it!" ”

After Yang Ling finished speaking, he immediately attracted a burst of laughter, and then said with a straight face, "Don't think that you can really fight with the Jurchen soldiers and horses after a few small battles, you haven't seen the terrible things about these Tartars, if it is the scale of the system, I am afraid it will take ten times to win, at the beginning of the battle of Hubu Dagang, the 700,000 army of the Liao people was not beaten by the Jurchen 20,000 people to lose their armor." ”

"But I estimate that 700,000 is blown, 200,000 can't run, the Jurchen Tartars can rush back and forth to kill more than 20 back and forth in the battle array, some of you, including a certain one, are just able to learn to control horses, the Jinyang Army, the old pawns in the Shence Army can only rush to kill twelve or thirteen times, so you can't take it lightly, and fight with the Jurchens, that is, you have to kill at the beginning, and you must not hold a fluke mentality, the more you go to the back, they will drag down the opponent alive."

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, Yang Ling smiled slightly at this time, "But don't be too nervous, we have to despise the opponent in the war, and attach importance to the opponent in the strategy, so that's right." (To be continued.) )
