Chapter 31: Just a Wave of Positive
Li Fengwu wanted to tell them not to be naΓ―ve.
But he couldn't say anything.
In the second year of Longxing, the Jin army attacked Xiangyang, which was not the original trajectory of history, but because of the chain reaction caused by his own appointment to Xiangyang.
I am the butterfly in the butterfly effect.
So I can't see through the trend of this battle, I can only believe Zhang Chao and Zhang Mingzhi.
After all, Zhang Chao once defeated the Jin people.
And I have to say that the suggestion put forward by Zhu Wenxiu is indeed very attractive, and it may not be unsuccessful.
Although Zhang Chao and Zhang Mingzhi did not make an immediate decision in the end, they seemed to be moved by their expressions, especially Zhu Wenxiu's words, defeating the Jin people, entering the Tang and Deng states, and joining the soldiers and horses supported by Jinghu South Road, using the Tang and Deng states as a springboard to attack the base camp of Yingzhou's loyalty.
If it is successful, it will inevitably be a military achievement that does not lose the quarrying victory.
Not only will Zhu Wenxiu be promoted, Zhang Chao and Zhang Mingzhi will inevitably be able to go to the next level, Zhang Chao, as a festival envoy and military general, is likely to win the title of Tai Lieutenant, and Zhang Mingzhi, as a civil minister, may not be long before he becomes a privy envoy in charge of the three offices of the Western Mansion.
Sharp and dizzy.
In this case, Li Fengwu knew that they would not listen to what he said.
In fact, I also vaguely expect that if I can have such a great victory, it will also be a good thing for myself and Zhao Kai.
Moreover, this combat policy does not require oneself to go to the front.
Out of the pacification embassy, Li Fengwu is ready to return to the county government with Huang Feihong and Zhen Shide, and from today onwards, he will strengthen the defense of Xiangyang City, and he must keep Jin Guoxi out.
But I saw that Guo Jing, the secretary of Jiedu, was silent and walked alone.
Li Fengwu's heart moved, got off the sedan chair, and shouted: "Secretary Guo, go along?" β
Guo Jing looked back and saw that it was Li Fengwu, and smiled reluctantly: "Very good." β
Walking on the streets of Xiangyang, both of them were a little heavy-minded, and they didn't know who got up and said that today's pacification of the embassy was done.
Guo Jing sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's going to be ominous this time." β
Li Fengwu can't disagree, and he can't object, after all, what hasn't happened, when it comes to military affairs, don't show your own ability to show your ugliness, "Why did Secretary Guo say this?" β
Guo Jing glanced at Li Fengwu, "Is the Jin army so easy to defeat?" β
After a pause, he said: "Besides, I am a little worried, will there be an elite cavalry of the Jin people in the cavalry army that followed Su Shi Lietaru into Tangzhou." β
Li Fengwu was terrified.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, the cavalry was weak, but the cavalry of the Jin people was strong.
For example, the Golden Man Ace Cavalry, the Iron Float.
The Iron Float is a heavy cavalry army.
That is a real battlefield weapon, there was a Jin man who said wildly, three thousand iron floating slaughter, can slaughter 30,000 armor in the Great Song Dynasty!
Of course, the 30,000 armor here does not refer to the cavalry.
But even so, 3,000 heavy cavalry breaking 30,000 foot soldiers can be regarded as an incomparably brilliant result.
Although this is a wild word, how is it impossible?
After being silent for a while, he said: "The purpose of the Jin people is to break the defense line of the two Huai, and they will not put the heavy cavalry on the battlefield of Xiangyang, so there should be no worries." β
Guo Jing sighed, "I just wish." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
A few days later, all the officials gathered in Xiangyang in the pacification office.
This is a mobilization meeting.
According to the information obtained by the scouts, the Jin army of Tang and Deng states had already left the city, and the route was as expected, and the soldiers and horses of Tangzhou passed through Huyang, and it seemed that they were indeed going to make peace with the soldiers and horses of Dengzhou.
This is reasonable, after all, the Jin people have always believed that the weak army of the Great Song Dynasty will definitely not take the initiative to attack, but choose the army to go out together, and destroy the city and attack Xiangyang with absolutely strong strength.
Of course, for the sake of secrecy, only Zhang Mingzhi and Zhang Chao knew the specific operational arrangements.
But the general strategic plan is also known:
First, collect the troops of Junzhou and Suizhou.
Second, Guyi Town was guarded by the original soldiers and horses, and with the soldiers of Junzhou, he cooperated with the rest of the garrison of the Guanghua Army to go to Heilongji to ambush the Jinren.
Third, the soldiers of Suizhou entered the territory of the Guanghua Army, together with the only two thousand light cavalry on the southwest road of Beijing, stationed in Wujiaji in the area behind the Black Dragon Collection, and acted at the opportunity, if the Jin people did not divide the troops, they quickly reinforced the Black Dragon Collection, and if the Jin people divided the troops, they would block the attack in the area of Wujiaji, and wait for the victory of the Black Dragon Collection, and then reinforce the troops and horses of Guyi Town and the Black Dragon Collection, and strangle the enemy army.
Guyi Town, Heilongji, and Wujiaji soldiers and horses are in a triangular situation, and they are each other's reinforcements.
This strategic approach is generally in order.
No matter which plan Jin Ren chooses, it is expected by his side, so he will take the lead.
There is a way to know oneself and one's opponent, and to win all battles.
What's more, this strategy is only preliminary, according to the battlefield situation, Zhang Chao and Zhang Mingzhi, who are close to Guyi Town, can also adapt to the situation, and can try a frontal battle, if the situation is not good, they can also use light cavalry to drag the enemy's cavalry, and the foot soldiers can quickly withdraw to Xiangyang and Suizhou to defend the siege battle afterwards.
This plan can be fought and retreated, and it is indeed a good strategic plan.
And the two thousand cavalry of the Jin people, if they take the Black Dragon Collection, they will not be able to exert their mobility between the mountains, and the cavalry that has lost their mobility may even be inferior to foot soldiers.
If you bypass the Black Dragon Set and go to the Wujiaji area, there will be a confrontation between the soldiers and horses of Suizhou and the two thousand cavalry of Xiangyang.
The cavalry was two thousand against two thousand, and the outcome was unknown.
However, his side had the soldiers and horses of Guyi Town galloping to help, and he still had the first advantage.
Moreover, Zhang Chao and Zhang Mingzhi are convinced that this can also improve the combat strength of their own soldiers and horses: once defeated, the territory of Junzhou, Suizhou and Guanghua Army will be trampled by the iron hooves of the Jin.
Behind him is the hometown father, where there are his own wives and children, parents, how can soldiers not fight to the death?
No matter how you look at it, this victory is all seventy percent.
The most important point is that the Black Dragon Set must win a big victory in the first battle, and it must be fast.
Although their own forces are not superior, in the eyes of Zhang Mingzhi and Zhang Chao, the right time, place and people are enough to erase this disadvantage.
The Jin people also had 25,000 soldiers and horses.
After these few days of mobilization, they recruited new soldiers, and although the cavalry army was only 2,000, the infantry was 4,000 more: Xiangyang alone recruited 2,000 new soldiers.
In this way, in terms of troops, they are only one or two thousand less than the other side.
In a battle with 20,000 people, although 2,000 people can affect the overall situation, they can also be insignificant, and the cavalry can take the lives of 1,000 people with a single collision.
What's more, the Great Song Dynasty Xiongshi waited for work at ease and occupied a geographical advantage.
There is definitely a chance that you will win the battle.
Knowing this strategic approach, there was no objection to it.
Even Guo Jing and Li Fengwu felt that there was a great possibility of success, thus reversing the entire battlefield situation of the Song and Jin Wars.
After all, on the battlefield, when the difference in forces is not large, any result is possible.
The golden people are fierce soldiers, but they have not been defeated over the years.
Jiedu made Zhang Chao defeat the Jin people in Shaoxing in the thirty-first year, and this alone convinces his strategic vision.
The rest is much easier.
The various departments went to the designated place in accordance with the military order, and the officials of Xiangyang, Zhang Mingzhi and Zhang Chao naturally would not miss this great achievement, and they would inevitably go to Guyi Town to command the army, and Zhu Wenxiu, Zhong Yu and others also wanted to increase their qualifications and took the initiative to ask for battle.
Zhang Mingzhi naturally agreed.
But Xiangyang Mansion also needs to be guarded, just in case.
It was the final resolution that Di Shaosheng, the prefect of Xiangyang, Guo Jing, the secretary of the festival, and Zhou Shu, the judge of the festival, stayed in Xiangyang.
and 2,000 new conscription horses...... After all, Zhang Chao is an experienced general, and he knows that letting new recruits go to the battlefield at this time is likely to backfire, so it is better to stay and garrison Xiangyang.
Naturally, the officials of the Xiangyang County Ya will not move, and they will remain to manage the public security in Xiangyang. (To be continued.) )
