The morning breeze has risen! The wind ran briskly from the Beibu Gulf into the mouth of the Qinjiang River, and the huge black shadows at the mouth of the river rose up and down with the wind.

The wind ran into Anyuan City, bringing a gratifying coolness. Feng'er mischievously ran to the Jiaozhi camp again, and the firelight happily greeted the wind, and the tongue of fire spat higher, bigger and stronger. But the wind was still not strong, so that the Cochin people had enough time to escape from the boat back to the shore, otherwise the two fires in the south and the north just now, many Cochin people would be burned alive on the boat.

Enough, the fire was flying, coupled with the arrival of a powerful Song army that came out of nowhere, and the entire military camp in Jiaozhi was in chaos.

Zhao Xun suddenly thought of something and said, "Zheng Xianggong, let me go too." ”

"No, Zhou Zhuan can go, but you can't go, not only can you go, some soldiers who can come in handy from Lianzhou to Qinzhou can't go, you have to take them to Yongzhou. The difficulty is not over there, but Yongzhou, although this pocket is good, it is too big, if it is not tightly tied to let the Jiaozhi army drill out, they can turn into poisonous snakes, and tens of thousands of people in Yongzhou will be devastated. Zheng Lang said seriously.

Di Qing made great contributions to this battle, and without his conception, there would be no soul of this battle. Just like Liu Bei can divide the world into three parts, Zhuge Liang is right.

The whole tactic revolves around this ship.

This is a bully that the country is small and the number of troops is small. But if the forbidden army in the capital is not used, there will be fewer troops in Liangguang, so let Jiaozhi divide the troops first, win more and less, and eat the soldiers and horses of Qinlian. There are too many enemies on the Yongzhou side, and I can't eat them for the time being. However, there is an extra-large pocket. The area of this pocket is at least 7,000 square kilometers or more. If you want to stab it to death, nearly 20 important villages can't be lost, and you will be ruined in Yongzhou, and you will retreat to destroy your own plan.

If you can't die, it's not good, if you die, you can win this battle.

Including the question of the money needed for the war. And that's all about it.

Zhao Xun understands military affairs, thinks about it, and doesn't speak. A little unhappy, not only him, but also Zhang Qi. Who doesn't want to go, but can't all the generals go together, what should I do here in Yongzhou?

Zheng Lang stared at the panicked Jiaozhi army and continued: "But you don't have to explain this battle in detail to the imperial court. ”

In fact, with the current strength of Liangguang and many generals, the south is guarded against from the three passes, and the two prefectures of Qinlian have made some preparations in advance, and the invasion of the Jiaozhi people will not be successful. But you can't prevent it, you can prevent it for a while. Can't prevent a lifetime.

Many generals and soldiers will still have to be withdrawn in the end, what should they do when the time comes?

In this release, many soldiers and civilians died.

However, when the truth comes out, some people don't think so. And Ouyang Xiu returned to the court, which was very troublesome.

Therefore, the truth cannot be said in detail, but it can only be said that I was forced to be helpless and had to fight back in self-defense.

Fortunately, most of the officials in the two Guangxi are now people who do practical things, and there are not many ministers who like to talk about it, and only Yu Jing is close to Ouyang Xiu and others. Other people, such as Tian Yu and Zhou Xin, are all doers who like to do practical things and talk less.

The Song army, which had landed on the shore, began to assemble and rushed towards the Jiaozhi people.

At the same time, an army rushed out of the mountain mausoleum in the north, the number was relatively small, and it was an army gathered from Lianzhou and Lingshan. In order to confuse the Jiaozhi army, it was divided into three parts, all of which set off at night, first Lianzhou pulled out part of the army, and sneaked into Lingshan at night. On the second night, we set off from Lingshan and sneaked into Ruhong Village at night. Last night, 3,000 troops set out from Ruhongzhai and sneaked to the north of Anyuan City.

Originally, there was no need for this, but Zhao Xun's night attack made the two armies of the Jiaozhi army one, and he had to change the plan, which became more troublesome. Otherwise, the army was divided into two places as before, both in the south of the city, and the two armies were broken by attacking inside and outside.

However, the negligence of the lucky Jiaozhi people, although it has an impact, has little impact.

Seeing his army fighting from the rear, Zheng Lang shouted: "Open the city gate." ”

The army selected last night came out from the northwest gate.

Fighting began outside the south gate.

The combat effectiveness of the Jiaozhi soldiers is still very impressive, at least stronger than the combat effectiveness of Nong Zhigao's army, but at this time it is chaotic. Hugh said that the Jiaozhi people are born Jurchens, and if the formation is chaotic like this, they will also be doomed to defeat.

Faced with the Song Dynasty infantry, which was heavily armed and almost entirely equipped with infantry armor, the southern battlefield became a one-sided battle.

Only a few Jiaozhi people resisted, and most of the Jiaozhi people fell to the ground and raised their hands in surrender when the Song army was killing like wolves.

The army in the north seems to be facing a little better of the threat.

But I was also frustrated.

All the ships were burned, where did they flee back to Jiaozhi and flee from the shore? There is also a Sihong River in the west, which is blocked like a moat. Even if you swim across the Sihong River, there is still a long road, and there are ghosts like the old village to watch the door, and it is difficult to walk an inch. Even if you escape under the pursuit of the Song army and flee to Ruxi Village, you have no food, no drink, no siege equipment, how can you capture Ruxi Village?

In fact, even if they want to resist, they will be defeated.

The 6,000 Song troops in the city, plus the 3,000 Song troops in the north, did not end. Many people took up their own crude "weapons", such as kitchen knives, burning sticks, woodcutters, and dog sticks, and spontaneously rushed out of the city gate, followed by the Song army, and rushed towards the Jiaozhi people.

The officers and soldiers at the city gate did not dare to stop them when they saw them coming violently. Zheng Lang didn't let them stop him, more than ten days of bloody battles, too many people died, and they had to be allowed to vent.

The sun has finally risen.

When a splash of red stained the land, the battle was almost over.

It was the most straightforward battle.

None of the Jiaozhi soldiers escaped, and even if they escaped at the time, they were all caught or killed under the search of the people from all sides. Nearly 17,000 Jiaozhi soldiers, totaling more than 12,000, were killed, and the large number of enemy soldiers killed was also due to the fact that the people, in anger, wantonly killed prisoners regardless of the obstruction. The rest were all captured alive.

But it also left a serious scar on the Song Dynasty.

From Lianzhou to Anyuan City, from the defense battle to the counterattack war, more than 4,000 people died before and after, and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land were submerged. Including Yongzhou, more than one million acres of cultivated land have delayed production. Not only that, but while many ordinary people joined the army, there were also some bad people who took the opportunity to do evil, which brought great confusion to local public order. Also, leave a mess here and there. For example, in the Qinjiang River, a large shipwreck has sunk boulders, which is extremely useful.

There are many cochin boats. There are not many huge ships that may come in handy, and this time in this invasion of Jiaozhi, almost half of the big ships that can come in handy in Jiaozhi were brought to the mouth of the Qinjiang River. They must not be allowed to escape back to Jiaozhi. The goal was achieved. But these boulders will have to be salvaged slowly in the future, otherwise it will affect the Qinjiang waterway. The big wooden stakes that were laid on the Zuojiang River in Yongzhou should also be set aside after the war. The flood water of the submerged embankment should be pumped out......

Post-war pensions and rewards are even more important.

Zheng Lang didn't like to fight for war, but he had to fight for peace.

Probably also influenced by the general atmosphere of the Song Dynasty, Zheng Lang was also not interested in the dethronement of the army. On the contrary, more emphasis is placed on internal governance.

The battle is coming to an end.

Many people were crying and weeping.

Zheng Lang took Zhou Xin out of the city to appease him with his heart.

And Zheng Lang apologized repeatedly.

It can't be said that Zheng Lang is benevolent, if he is as merciful as Zhao Zhen, there will be no such arrangement. It's just the psychology of the small house in the later generations, or a little more noble. There is no humanistic spirit in this era, so although the people mourn, they do not complain.

There is also material compensation for mental trauma. After the war, supplies obtained from some unburned embers in the Cochin military camp, as well as supplies from the city, were distributed to the people. This is the first batch. There is more to come. First, let a group of officials and officers and soldiers put 5,000 Jiaozhi people in shackles and shackles, and escort them to the rear.

Guo Kui sent a group of prisoners of war back, but the merchants were dissatisfied, the time was too short, and they were not very relieved. Therefore, Zheng Lang made a verdict. The cochins were sentenced to 20 years' hard labour for trespassing, and were not released by amnesty. If there is a person in his hand, he shall be sentenced to hard labor for life. This made many businessmen smile, and then in their hearts they were amused by Zheng Lang's practice of building the archway and doing that. How is this different from a slave?

Of course, there is a price to be paid for the extension of time. What Zheng Lang likes, one is to give up the land in short supply in the Central Plains and the two Zhejiang Fujian Roads to the fourth and fifth class households, and the second is that the money needed for this war will not be less, either donate land or donate money.

I understand it all.

Therefore, under the tacit understanding of the two sides, most of the Jiaozhi people were divided into various parts of Guangnan East Road, or the states and counties north of Guangnan West Road, such as Guizhou, Rongzhou, and Zhaozhou.

The ambition of Xiaoyue in later generations made the second ancestor fight back in self-defense twice and fight into a widow's village, Zheng Lang still thinks like this. This is the price of provoking China!

The first step is to do this, otherwise under the anger of the people, even a prisoner will not want to be taken away later, and all of them will be beaten to death by the angry people.

Jiaozhi had no way to invade Qinzhou again, and divided the soldiers, including the militia, into two. The elite soldiers were dispatched, totaling 6,000 people, and this was to be brought to Yongzhou. The rest of them were drawn with three thousand men, and much of the arable land was submerged, and when war came, commerce was interrupted, and all the spare labor was taken away, not for fighting, but for carrying things. Zhao Xun can't leave yet, he has to prepare and bring weapons and baggage before leaving.

Zheng Lang took 3,000 laborers, got on the boat, puffed up the sails again, and the soldiers swung the oars and set sail south.

The battle of Anyuan City was only the beginning of the reversal, and the real reversal began when the Song Dynasty fleet went south.

In a moment, the huge fleet disappeared on the horizon.

Zhao Xun looked at the direction where the fleet disappeared with envious eyes, and sighed, what should I do, I can only go to Yongzhou.

Weapons and supplies were counted, and in the afternoon they were on their way.

……

But it's not very optimistic yet.

Wu Er led the army from the three armies into the hinterland of Yongzhou. First of all, it was blocked from the Zuojiang River, and the waterway was controlled by Shuikou Pass. After capturing the Shuikou Pass, a large number of troops were divided into the Shuikou Pass, after all, the waterway went down the river, faster, and also saved the physical strength of the soldiers. When the fleet arrived at Luo Xiedong, it rested on a hidden pile in a canyon area, a tactic invented by the Jiaozhi people to defeat the Later Han. However, Zheng Lang moved out repeatedly.

Here, because of the contraction of the river and the turbulence of the river, the boat knew that there was a hidden pile in front of it, but it could not anchor in time to control the boat. It's better if you go upstream, but now you can't brake even if you want to. I watched the boat in front of me play with the warping bar, and the boat behind me was still rushing forward.

Ships began to collide, and before the ambush on the shore could strike, a ship began to sink.

Then the ambush soldiers on the shore raised their bows and arrows, and the rockets flew wildly. But because Jiaozhi attaches great importance to scouts, there are not many ambushes, which is a pity.

Seeing that it was not good, the Cochin soldiers jumped out of ship and fled.

When the water is fast, there are dark whirlpools, and even if the water is good, many soldiers suck to the bottom of the river and drown alive. But many of the soldiers fled to shore. Seeing this, the Song Dynasty ambushed the soldiers and retreated. Don't think about going by water.

Helpless. You can only take the dry road.

The condition of the dry road was better, and the Song Dynasty built several avenues, and the original avenues were also expanded. The road surface is flat and wide. The Jiaozhi army rushed to Taiping Village with great momentum, and let me see a scene that made Wu Er angry. Knowing the arrival of the main force of Jiaozhi, the Song people were still ramming the dark piles on the river in a hurry.

Yes, it is a must.

The water transport of the Zuojiang River is developed, it is only a checkpoint of Shuikou Pass, and the rest of the river can not be intercepted, if the Jiaozhi people pounce on the rear of the Taiping Village, the whole will be chaotic. On the shore, you can build a fortress on various main roads, what to do on the water surface? You can only use hidden stakes to stop the enemy.

Then Wu Er looked at Taiping Village again, and his brows furrowed together.

It has become a town south pass, and most of the city walls in the south are not only tall and strong. Most of them are made of stones and bricks. Can a crash hit an earthen wall, could it collapse these stone walls? The original plan was to quickly rush to Yongzhou City and take Yongzhou, and on the other side, quickly take Qinzhou and Lianzhou, and the two armies would meet in Hengzhou. And then it depends on the situation. Or Guizhou, or Guangzhou. To make the entire Liangguang erosive, and then look at the reaction of the Song Dynasty, at least let the Song Dynasty cede Yongzhou to Jiaozhi. If not, retreat to Yongzhou, taking advantage of the hot weather and complex mountainous terrain in the south. Conduct sniping. Even if you can't get Yongzhou, the two Guang are erosive, and they are wantonly plundered, and this line of income is also quite rich.

Since ancient times, the people of the Central Plains have been the most sorrowful. Because of their diligence, all the Central Plains were the richest of the regions. The Central Plains Dynasty invaded the nomads or the south, and the expenditure far exceeded the income, and the war did not have much practical value except to expand the territory. However, these states are different, as long as they invade, they will gain something. Even Jiaozhi was arrogant in using only 20,000 people to maintain the logistics of the 80,000-strong army. There are no guns, the Central Plains people give them guns, there is no grain, the Central Plains people give them food, there is no cloth, the Central Plains people give them cloth, there is no money, the Central Plains people give them money.

The Song Dynasty was not interested in opening the border, and even used money to buy An, which was also forced by this tragic situation.

Zheng Lang had a good time to develop Liangguang, which happened to be densely populated in western Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangnan West Road, and even drowned his own children because of the land. This gave Zheng Lang the premise for large-scale immigration. If there were no Han households and these immigrants a few decades in advance, considering that the barbarians were not very loyal to the imperial court, even if the imperial court had money, they would not have agreed to Zheng Lang to develop Liangguang.

If it is not my race, its heart will be different, it is a slogan shouted from the Tang Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty had a clearer understanding that an Anshi Rebellion made the idea of the Han standard begin to appear in the Song Dynasty. Zheng Lang also has it, but his ideas are more advanced, it doesn't matter if it's not a Han problem, it has to be sinicized. It is better to let all the ethnic groups of the Song Dynasty be transformed into the Han nationality, not to mention more than a hundred, fifty, or a dozen races, that is, five or six races, which Zheng Lang does not like. And there is a precedent, the sinicization of the Xianbei people, as early as more than 500 years ago, where it was placed, can be proven. Ninety percent of the people in the north have more or less Xianbei genes, but who thinks they are Xianbei people? Maybe Zheng Lang himself has the blood of Xianbei people, but Zheng Lang thinks he is a Xianbei person?

Therefore, one is an immigrant, and the other is a Sinicized barbarian.

This practice is also the reason for the crisis of Cochin.

Looking at the Taiping City Wall, Wu Er was silent for a while, and finally waved his hand to push the captured barbarian people down under the city wall, so that they could continue to be cannon fodder. I still want to do good things. He Bin shouted at the head of the city: "Everyone, if it is not the cruelty of the imperial court, it really can't retreat, once you retreat, there are more than 1.1 million households and nearly 5 million people in the rear, if you want to live, resist." We won't let it anymore. ”

That's a nice way to put it.

The fact that this could not bear to give in, as soon as they retreated, many tribes were more grateful to the Song Dynasty, and some of the tribal soldiers who participated in the Jiaozhi coalition army were shaken in their hearts. But it still hasn't worked. When the decisive battle comes, the first role will be brought into play, and if the morale of the army is shaken, the Jiaozhi people will not be able to work together, and the combat effectiveness will decline. After the war, it was conducive to the rule of the imperial court.

After He Bin finished speaking, the soldiers fired their arrows and crossbows.

The cannon fodder turned around and fled.

Later, the law enforcement team forced back into the city with random arrows.

It ended badly.

There were deaths on both sides, and many were weeping under the city, and we did not attack or retreat, so do whatever you like.

I saw that the fire was coming. He Bin let all the trebuchets fire a salvo with the crossbow to suppress the cross-toe army in the rear. Suddenly he opened the gates of the city, and put these poor men into the city with them. Wu Er immediately ordered the rear army to press on it without his life. But the rear army had just crossed the moat, and the gates were closed again.

He Bin settled these barbarians, sent people to comfort them, and then gathered some of them into soldiers. In turn, they were used to guard Taipingzhai. These barbarians took the clan to destroy the family feud and went to the city, and they fought even harder than the Song army.

Wu Er's stealing chickens does not make a handful of rice. Angry, his eyes rolled, and he came up with another idea. Stopped and did not attack the village. First, scouts were sent to investigate everywhere, but the situation was not good, the avenues were to be sealed, and of course there were many small roads. However, after the Northwest Campaign, there were already countermeasures to these trails.

All blown up with gunpowder. Even those sheep intestine trails have made the gunpowder blow up alive. If you want to attack Yongzhou, it is simple, and you can capture these stockades. Either slowly send out boats and slowly remove the hidden piles on the left river. So another crisis arose in Cochin, grain and grass.

A large number of Zhaitong retreated to the rear. The front retreated, and the rest of the supplies in the back were all burned, leaving only some dilapidated houses. It's not exactly Qingbi Qingye, and there are some tribes who are not interested in the Song Dynasty so far. This is divided into two parts, one of which is the topographical factor. Located in the deep mountains and old forests, in the Song Realm, Zheng Lang is helpless to take them, and the Jiaozhi people have no way to take them. There are also some big Zhaitong, who are sure that they will stick to it and are not satisfied with the Song Dynasty. I am also not satisfied with the cochin. But because Cochin uses barbarians as cannon fodder, they are highly vigilant. So the vigilance is higher.

For the sake of food and grass, they had to attack forcibly.

It took a dozen of these tribes to know that they were wrong. Don't talk about the Song army, even if the Jiaozhi people forcibly attacked, they were also invincible. It's not that Zheng Lang didn't want to fight before, it wasn't worth it, and the sacrifice was too high. Unless a hostile move is made, it is still mainly to appease. If you really want to attack, no matter which clan you are, it is not the opponent of the Song army, nor is it the opponent of the Jiaozhi people.

Under the forcible attack of the Jiaozhi people, several large villages were broken and looted. At this time, the rest of Zhaitong regretted it, and it was too late to regret it, so the level was blocked and could not be withdrawn to the rear. However, several attacks also caused heavy losses to the Jiaozhi people. It has nothing to do with the Jiaozhi people, and most of them use the life barbarians who follow to be the main force. It seems to have been cheapened and the strength has been preserved. The actual approach is also wrong, except for some tribes who are loyal to Jiaozhi, some tribes are also cold in their hearts when they see Jiaozhi like this. Now I can't see that once it is unfavorable, it will become a very unfavorable factor for Cochin.

Some supplies were obtained, but they were still insufficient.

Forcibly attacked Taipingzhai again, but this time Wu Er changed his method.

But as soon as he delayed, he bought time for Song Jun.

In fact, the Song army was still very dangerous at the beginning, twelve Dazhai, and the regular army was only 10,000 people, which was 10,000 people, and it had nothing to do with Guo Kui and the Sanguan army. In addition, there are more than 10,000 militiamen, but these militias lack cooperation and actual combat experience. At that time, if Jiaozhi launched a strong attack, the situation in Yongzhou was very dangerous.

After a delay of several days, there were not many captured materials, which in turn allowed Zhao Xun to lead 6,000 soldiers to arrive, increasing the defense strength of the twelve villages.

At the same time, the third group of nearly 5,000 militiamen was sent to Yongzhou from all over the country.

At this time, the defensive strength of the twelve villages gradually became considerable.

In short, the longer the time dragged on, the more beneficial it was for the Song Dynasty. Wu Er still didn't know, and saw that the gains of looting the villages outweighed the losses, so he attacked the Taiping Village again. In a different way, they continued to use the captive people as cannon fodder. But in the cannon fodder was mixed with a large number of cochin soldiers.

It was another back and forth toss, and Bin Fu commanded to suppress the Jiaozhi rear army with weapons and put the cannon fodder in, Wu Er was overjoyed, but he was extremely disappointed. The cannon fodder was put in, but the order made them drop their weapons and enter the city, this problem is not big, once they enter the city, let the city be chaotic, and the inside and outside can be taken down.

The cannon fodder entered the city, the city was heavily guarded, and another passage was set up at the gate of the city, and under the guard of the soldiers, the cannon fodder entered a large closed square from the passage, and the city gate was closed again. Then the soldiers took the barbarians to screen, and pulled out the fake cannon fodder one by one, and some of the Jiaozhi soldiers wanted to resist, but they were unarmed and killed on the spot. All the rest were arrested, taken to the city, and beheaded for public display. Don't use cannon fodder, it's useless for us.

Wu Er had no choice but to forcibly tackle the problem.

The bloody battle was delayed for several days before it really began. Both sides suffered heavy casualties in the offensive and defensive battles.

It was very beneficial to Song Jun to drag it on, but at this time, Yu Jing was afraid in his heart and did the next stupid thing. As a result, after the war, Zheng Lang wrote angrily and impeached Yu Jing, so Yu Jing did not merit, but had a fault, which caused Yu Jing to degrade Jizhou. But you can't blame Yu Jing, who doesn't understand military affairs and is worried about the safety of Liangguang, so he did stupid things. This is also a common malaise of the Song Dynasty's Wenchen in command. But this stupid thing once made Zheng Lang's plan extremely dangerous. (To be continued.)
