Two hundred and eighty-four The storm pounded on Zong Ze's fragile defenses
"Give me arrows! The Jin soldiers are absolutely not allowed to cross the Yellow River! Shoot the arrows! Put! A blood-stained officer roared and killed a golden soldier who had climbed the south bank of the Yellow River, and then shouted at his subordinates, desperately pulling the bowstring in his hand, aiming at a golden soldier who was desperately rowing his oars.
This was the seventh day of the Battle of the Yellow River.
Seven days ago, on the sixth day of October in the second year of Jingkang, the vanguard of the Jin Bing East Route Army entered the Song Realm and began to encircle and suppress the scattered resistance of the Song Army, preparing to completely annex the territory of the Song River North, but the resistance of the remnants of the Song Army and the civil forces was unprecedentedly fierce, almost to the point of not giving up an inch of land, so that the troops of Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang suffered a lot of losses, among which the resistance of Wuma Cottage and Hejian Mansion was the most intense, and the civil forces of Wuma Cottage and the official forces of Hejian Mansion caused huge losses to Jin Bing.
The real intention and ultimate goal of this dispatch of troops is to annex Guanzhong, defeat the Western Army, completely sweep away the threat of the ace troops of the Song Army, and open the way into the land of Sichuan and Shu, and then annex Hebei, take Kaifeng, and establish the goal of the Eastern Route Army's offensive base.
Wu Qimai actually didn't have much hope for the Eastern Route Army, but he just wanted to contain the main force of the Song Army in Yingtianfu and make it impossible to support the Northern Expedition and support the northwest war, so the Eastern Route Army only had 80,000 soldiers and horses, 60,000 soldiers, while the Western Route Army had 220,000 soldiers and horses and 150,000 soldiers!
But Rao was like this, Zong Wang and Zong Han didn't have any ideas, they still faithfully carried out their mission, and attacked the land of Hebei very hard. smashed Song's already incomplete resistance to pieces, but that's all. The mass resistance ended after three days, but the small-scale and unrelenting struggle never stopped. So much so that Zong Wang and Zong Han decided to leave 10,000 soldiers and horses behind them to protect the grain route, and they went straight to the Yellow River with the main force, not to entangle with the Song army.
This was the first mistake they made, and it was also the most fatal mistake, because the center of gravity of this war was completely in the northwest, so even if it was the first operation of the logistics system, the main service object was the Western Route Army rather than the Eastern Route Army, and the Eastern Route Army was only a small number of people to ensure their logistics, and the main grain income still had to be grabbed from the Song people. The reason for Wanyan Lou's room is that the land of Hebei is in chaos, and all big forces have a lot of reserve food in their hands, so they ask the two to grab it, and the Western Route Army has to face Yue Fei, Yue Fei, the strongest Western Army in the Song Dynasty.
Zong Wang and Zong Han had no way to knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, who let Lou Murmur's most beloved eldest son be killed under their leadership? It's good that Lou Room doesn't look for them to work hard, besides, the many girls who were defeated in that big defeat broke up and broke up their families, and the big guys didn't trouble them It was already a face for Yan Agu to fight and change the dinner party. What else do they want? Send them food and meat?
Zong Wang and Zong Han had no choice but to invade the south with 80,000 hard-pressed soldiers, and there were only 20,000 soldiers and horses to ensure logistics, while the Western Route Army of Wanyan Lou had 60,000 troops to ensure logistics, and a large number of slaves to transport grain and grass. They are almost invincible, and they are in danger of being cut off from the supply lines by the remnants of the Song army and the Song civil forces behind them at any time, for this. They had to complete their task quickly in the hope of gaining the renewed trust of Wanyan Wu begging. So as to gain his support, to be supported by food and soldiers.
To do this. In fact, it was not easy, but Zong Wang and Zong Han really did it, they were entangled by the Song army and Song civil forces before, Zong Wang and Zong Han made a decision immediately, the golden cicada came out of its shell, and the 50,000 main forces quickly galloped south to deal with the main positions of the Song army on both sides of the Yangtze River.
Zong Ze had already received a tip, or that most of the forces in Hebei had been included in the command of the Jin soldiers before they went south, and they accepted his remote command, but they had not yet been integrated into a unified defense line, and as a result, the Jin soldiers went south, and in a hurry, the defense line of Hebei was destroyed before it was established, and the civil forces retreated into the deep mountains and old forests, and the Song army forces were either eliminated or retreated into the Qingye, the main force of the Jin soldiers did not take any advantage, nor did they suffer too much losses, so they went all the way south.
On October 16, the main force of the Jin soldiers under the leadership of Zong Wang and Zong Han broke through the defense line set up by Zong Ze in Huazhou in a hurry, defeated 3,000 Song soldiers, and arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River.
Hebei's Song army and the People's Army were cleaned up after three times and five divided by two, and the three thousand Song soldiers in Huazhou were also killed, Zong Han seemed to have a feeling of finding confidence again, but Zong Wang's words made him calm down instantly.
We have been attacking Wuma Cottage and Hejian Mansion for so long, Wuma Cottage has not been breached, and the Song army in Hejian has only been broken in the end, which has taken us so much time, we arrived so quickly, it is completely the Song army behind us that has no resistance at all, if they resolutely resist, can we still come here so quickly? Moreover, the 3,000 Song soldiers in Huazhou were all infantry, but none of them surrendered, all of them were killed, and the remaining dozens of wounded soldiers even jumped into the Yellow River to commit suicide! What does this mean? This means that the Song army is far from giving in! They didn't flee, they all fought to the end!
When we only came, all the Song troops fled when they heard the news, and now? The Song army did not flee at all, they fought us face to face, they charged without cavalry, and they would rather jump into the river than surrender if they were defeated! The Han Chinese have begun to change! Time is running out for us! If this continues, sooner or later, the combat effectiveness of the Han people will become as strong as their ancestors! Not to mention that their emperor hates us to the bone! He will definitely take revenge! How many people do we have? How many people do they have?
Zong Wang didn't see the victory, he only saw the deep crisis and hidden dangers, the Song people began to become brave, began to dare to fight, which was completely unimaginable before, the current Song army, it seems that they all have a deep hatred, seeing the Jin soldier is like seeing the enemy who killed his father, and rushed up with red eyes, Zong Wang saw with his own eyes a Song soldier whose arms were cut off with red eyes biting the neck of a Jin soldier, biting him bleeding like a lot, until his body was pierced by three spears and did not let go, Forced that Jurchen warrior to bite and bleed to death......
That look made Zong Wang couldn't help but touch his neck, thinking of the bite that hurt into the bone marrow, and thinking of the terrifying fighter with red eyes who would do whatever it takes.
Courage is contagious.
Zong Wang took a deep breath, the Song people began to become terrifying, several blows made the fighting blood in the bones of the Song people begin to recover, Zong Wang read through the history of the Han people, and realized that the Han people did not know how to fight, otherwise how could their territory expand from a small piece of the Yellow River Valley to the entire Monan Han Land? Charged phone bills? Throughout the history of the Han people, expansion and fighting, aggression and resistance have never stopped.
In addition to the current dynasty and the Song Dynasty, which stopped fighting for more than a hundred years, it only stopped fighting with the Liao State, and Dali, Nanban, and Western Xia, and did not stop fighting, so the northwest corps of the Song Dynasty was still strong, and the town defenders in the south were still strong.
They can't be given a chance to recover! Otherwise, they would not be facing Song, but Qin! Chinese! Tang Dynasty!
But Zong Wang wanted to order the march, but he saw the deeply tired expressions of the soldiers around him, he had been attacked by the Han people, that is, he was attacked last night, although the scale was not large, but it was enough to make the Jin soldiers unable to rest well, how could the Han people before have this kind of courage? So Zong Wang and Zong Han didn't take much precautions, who knew that they let the Han people drill Confucius in this way, killed many people, and burned a lot of things.
In addition to the Western Army and Yue Tuo, this is the first time that other Song armies have taken the initiative to attack!
Zong Wang had no choice but to set up camp, wait for the arrival of food and meat, rest his strength, and officially cross the river the day after tomorrow! Destroy the main force of the Song army!
Zong Wang's wishful thinking played well, he did let people monitor the Song army camp on the other side, the Song army camp was brightly lit, obviously guarding against Zong Wang, Zong Wang took a look, and went to sleep, he was still sick, weak, and needed more rest, Zong Han drank some wine, walked around the military camp a few times, and then slept, leaving few people to keep vigil, he also thought that the Song army would not attack at night, but in the second half of the night, when they slept the most soundly, the Song army of 5,000 people brazenly attacked the camp, and actually crossed the river at night, killing the Jin army by surprise.
The Jin army was defenseless, suffered heavy casualties, Zong Wang and Zong Han were almost burned out of their hair and other hairs, and a lot of food was burned, which was the little military food left, until after dawn the Song army quickly retreated, rushed into the Yellow River has long been prepared boats, more than 10,000 crossbowmen on the opposite bank desperately released arrows to cover the Song army's sneak attack and retreat, the Jin army could not pursue, but suffered heavy casualties.
After dawn, the Song army successfully retreated, Zong Wang checked the casualties, and found that more than 10,000 Jin soldiers were hacked to death and wounded, more than 3,000 female real soldiers, and the corpse of the Song army was only more than 2,000.
However, all this is just the beginning, when it came to crossing the river, Zong Wang found that the tools for crossing the river were burned by the Song army, and the Jin soldiers, who could not find the boats crossing the river, expanded the search range, and finally found more than a dozen small fishing boats, but they could not meet the requirements of crossing the river at all, there were only five small boats when crossing the river before, but there was no Song army on the other side to stop it.
Now there are more than a dozen small boats, but the Song army, which is full of people standing on the opposite bank, is armed with a divine arm bow and a repeater, and shoots fiercely at the boat of the Jin soldiers crossing the river, but fortunately the Jin soldiers tethered the boat with a long enough iron cable before crossing the river, so that the Jin soldiers on the boat can pull back the boat even if they are dead, otherwise, the Jin soldiers really have no boat to cross the river.
