236 So, this is my last battle (4)
The dawn of March 17 in the second year of Jingkang came, and the Song soldiers, who had rested all night, stood up in twos and threes with each other, and they could not recover from yesterday's super-intensive battle in just one night, even if they ate more horse meat and drank more horse bone soup, their legs were still sore, their hands were still numb, and they could not even hold their weapons tightly, and they could only stand up by supporting each other.
Today is the last day, and it is also my last battle, and this last battle must be fought well.
Yue turned the big gun that Zhou Tong personally built for him, stood up, breathed a sigh of relief, and set his eyes on the Jin soldier camp who also started to act, the distance between the two sides was too close, so close that Yue Chuan could see the same panting fatigue of the Jin soldiers, the history books said that the Jin soldiers were good at fighting, and their physical strength was strong, when the Western Army and the Jin soldiers fought the decisive battle of Fuping, the physical strength of the Jin soldiers was stronger than that of the Western Army, and the last hour overwhelmed the Western Army, and the main general of a certain department of the Western Army retreated, and the Battle of Fuping was defeated.
And the Zhennan army brought out by Yue turned out to fight in the mountains, rivers and seas all the year round, three years without a day, no day without a fight, every day without a war to run more than five miles, to maintain a strong body, is to prepare for this, the Zhennan army trekked north, the Jin army also fought hard for a long time, if you talk about physical consumption, in fact, the two sides are equal, plus the Jin soldiers did not rest at all that night, and the Song army slept a full sleep before that, so compared to physical strength, the Song army actually has the upper hand, and at this time, the fatigue of the Jin army is even higher than the Song soldiers.
When the Song army went all the way north, Yue Fu contacted a large number of officials in the south of the Yangtze River that he had helped, and did not ask them to send troops to help, but only asked for the supply of grain and grass along the way, as well as some of the grain and horses, for the sake of his own three years of exterminating bandits for them, he did not want to waste too much manpower and material resources on the South Jiangnan Road, and Jiangbei was too dangerous, he did not want the villagers of Jiangnan to go to the land of Jiangbei to be in danger.
The officials from all over the country agreed, and the Zhennan army ate wherever they went, and the food brought out from the South Jiangnan Road was basically untouched, so after arriving in Jiangbei, they began to consume the food they brought out, and the marching speed was also very fast, and most of the month's effort went north from Zhenjiang Mansion to the suburbs of Kaifeng, and the food consumption was not large, and the three meals before the last battle, Yue Chuan let the soldiers eat to their heart's content, and ate the cattle and donkeys and mules that transported grain along the way, and sent all the grain transporters provided by the government back to Jiangnan. Take a full 30,000 elite soldiers to challenge the golden soldiers.
The Song army did not go hungry, and has always maintained a very high combat effectiveness and morale, in contrast, the Jin soldiers were arrogant and lascivious for a few months, eating and drinking erased a lot of fighting will and combat effectiveness, and the Song army destroyed most of the military supplies and war horses by attacking the camp overnight, and killed a lot of soldiers by the way, so the morale of the Jin soldiers was very low, until Zong Han awakened the beastly nature of the Jin soldiers with blood and killing, in exchange for a group of beast riots.
However, there is no doubt that the Jin soldiers have no food and grass, and now they are eating war horses, and there are a large number of cities on the way back that have not been broken by the Jin soldiers, as long as they have no food, do not ask those officials to attack them, as long as the city is closed and defended, the walls are clear, and the Jin soldiers are not given the opportunity to obtain food, then the Jin soldiers will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and even lose their combat effectiveness, if there are one or two more armies that dare to fight, then it is not impossible to bury the main force of the Jin soldiers in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!
So, so, so, as long as you can, do your best to give them the greatest damage, even if it's for your life! There are many people in the Great Song Dynasty and can afford it, but there are few Jurchens and they can't afford it, and we consume him alone, which is an irreparable wound for him, and we, although we are very sad, but we can afford it!
So, we stand here, not an inch back, not an inch of land, not only for the millions of people in Tokyo, but also for tomorrow!
Yue Chuan stood up and asked Wang Hui to put up the banner, and the banner of national survival and death was flying and hunting, and swore to tens of thousands of golden soldiers, today, there is no retreat from death, and there is no escape from defeat! Wanyan Zonghan felt a headache, Wanyan Zongwang felt a cold heart, they didn't know how many people were killed and injured in yesterday's battle, the combat effectiveness of this Song soldier was too strong, incredibly strong, full of blood, 150,000 gold soldiers, only 60,000 female real soldiers, the remaining 90,000 were servant troops of all ethnic groups, and there were more than 10,000 Han soldiers.
Before more than 10,000 Han soldiers fled to the camp of the Western Army with the Western Army, this expedition, they requisitioned more than 10,000 Han soldiers from the land of Yanyun, and forcibly required them to fight, otherwise they would slaughter the city, these Han soldiers were unwilling, the combat effectiveness can be imagined, the Khitan soldiers and the Bohai soldiers and the Xi soldiers are also conceivable, but it doesn't matter, the really strong part of the Jin soldiers is the female real soldiers, as long as there are female real soldiers, there is no need to be afraid, but last night they quietly counted the points, and were stunned to find that there were less than 30,000 female real soldiers left.
Zong Han and Zong Wang's heads exploded all of a sudden, Zong Bi had just woken up, and when he heard this number, he fainted again, and he still hadn't woken up.
The Song soldiers on the opposite side are said to have been 30,000 at the beginning, and now it is estimated that there are still five or six thousand, that is to say, about 25,000 were killed in the battle, and the female real soldiers of the Jin soldiers are actually less than 30,000 from 60,000 to now, and they are generally more killed in battle! A real female soldier! The entire Jurchen clan could only muster up to 120,000 female real soldiers, and this battle actually lost more than 30,000! A quarter of the female real soldiers are finished, plus the loss of more than 10,000 female real soldiers when they first went south, and now the number of female real soldiers is less than 50,000 of the mobile troops that their entire country can mobilize!
How else does this deter the armies of the servants of all races? Especially the Khitans and Han people who have a blood feud with the Jurchens!
I wanted to catch the emperor of the Han people and force the Han people to surrender, so as to end the resistance of the Han people, who knew that the success fell short, the Han emperor was rescued, soon, soon the Han people's counterattack will begin, this kind of shame is not acceptable to everyone, let alone the emperor, so Zong Han and Zong Wang both felt cold in their hearts, and they were cold all over their bodies, and they could almost think of the scene where Yan Wu begged to buy a thunderstorm.
Zong Han is the son of the Jurchen Prime Minister Wanyan Sagai, this is okay, Wu Qimai will also give Sagai a face, but Zong Wang is the son of Aguta, Aguda is dead, Zongwang has always felt very unhappy with Wu Qimai's accession to the throne, and he is against Wu Qimai everywhere, and even once had the idea of killing Wu Qimai to regain his position, this defeat, Wu Qimai will definitely do something to him, there is no doubt about it! Zong Han didn't have any good fruit to eat, and he lost the lives of nearly 50,000 female real soldiers in the two battles of the Song Dynasty.
And all of this is caused by the army in front of them and the leader of this army, Zong Wang and Zong Han are to blame!
Gathering the remaining less than 80,000 soldiers, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang glanced at each other, knowing that this battle is a decisive battle, this battle is a battle that determines everything for everyone, and if they win, they still have reason to say that they have fought hard, lost, and have nothing, and they will be beheaded if they go back, according to Wanyan Wu's begging character......
In any case, to win, it is best to capture the leader of this army alive, they only know that the leader of this army is surnamed Yue, and they don't know what his name is or who he is, but such a strong army, this guy must have a lot to do with Yue Fei, and the two big guys think so.
They also know the situation, the longer it drags on, the more dangerous they become, I don't know if the Western Army will come again, and now they have exhausted all their advantages in dealing with this army, if the Western Army comes again, even if it is the disabled Western Army, it will be enough for them to drink a pot, plus there are many crises on the way back, if you are not careful, you have to explain here!
Zong Han and Zong Wang complained more and more that they were not ready for the back road, to be honest, this was inevitable, who made it difficult for both of them to have enough time and troops to conquer every city of the Song army one by one? This is inevitable, there are too many cities in the Song army, and not every Song general does not dare to fight them, there is one in front of them, and there are several on the way here, and if there are a few more, they will really not be able to stand it.
Too few troops, too few supplies, too little preparation, this is a huge flaw! And the Song Dynasty had a large number of people and abundant materials, and they could die 100,000 people in battle, while the Jurchens only had 100,000......
Rao is so, Zong Han and Zong Wang also decided to fight the last battle, this Song army has reached the point of exhaustion, yesterday the first battle and fought out more than 30,000 Jin soldiers, they themselves only have more than 5,000 people left, exhausted, Jin soldiers can also gather almost 20,000 cavalry to deal a devastating blow to them, a round of charge, this Song army should almost be dead and wounded, and then they took the infantry to harvest the last remnants, and captured the Song army The main general went back to the mission, and the battle was over.
The next battle against the Song Dynasty, it is estimated that the Song will start first, but the Jurchen preparations here must also be done, Wanyan Zonghan is ready to offer advice to offset his mistakes, he plans to gather at least 300,000 troops in the next war, and the Jurchen soldiers will not be less than 60,000 in number, launch a complete war of annihilation against the Song, eat all the elite forces of the Song army, and then use the strong combat effectiveness of the Jurchen corps to defeat the main force of the Song army and completely destroy the Song State, not just the Hebei area of the Song Dynasty.
The Jin army and the Song army are different from the Song army, they are nomadic fishing and hunting people, they will not prepare grain and grass to provide logistics, they will only fight all the way and rob all the way, so the nomadic fishing and hunting people can often mobilize one-third of the population of their own tribe, that is, all young and middle-aged men to go to war, without worrying about the production of their own people, their lives rely on nomadism and robbery, do not rely on agriculture, they do not need to rely on agricultural production to maintain their lives, so, their ability to wage war is much stronger than that of the Han people.
Once the Han people use more than one-tenth of the population as soldiers, it is called a poor army, using more than five percent of the population to fight, it is called shaking the country, and it will also cause an unexpected blow to agriculture, the early Song Dynasty to deal with a medium-scale border war, it takes 30 million yuan, it is conceivable how much damage the war does to the agricultural nation, therefore, the Han people's counterattack is not easy, like the large-scale long-term thorough counterattack of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which consumed half of the national strength and population of the Han Dynasty, It is also the swan song in the history of the entire world's agricultural nations.
Song will be well prepared, and Kim will be well prepared.
This is the last battle before that!
Wanyan Zonghan waved his hand, and the decisive battle began!!
Never back down! I will not retreat!
Yue turned over and waved his sword: "There is death and no life!" There is no enemy and no self! There is no advance or retreat! I will die if the country survives!! Gentlemen, die with me!! "More than 5,000 Song troops are ready to launch a desperate attack on the Jin soldiers with the heart of death!
But suddenly, not far from the northwest, a cannon rang out, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing rang out, and a large number of cavalry rushed towards the place where Yue Tuo and Zong Han fought a decisive battle, and then a larger number of infantry, Yue Flan looked at the big black character on the big banner in front of the army - Zong!
Zong Ze, Grandpa Zong! You're finally here!
