Chapter 280: The Clash of National Fortunes (3)

Zhang Jun went directly to the Jingyuan army and asked Qu Duan why he did not obey the military order.

Qu Duan's answer was, "You will lose."

Is this what a soldier should say, if you feel that you will be defeated, you can not obey orders and not go to the battlefield? What kind of logic is this!

Zhang Jun was so angry that he laughed angrily, and asked rhetorically, "What if you are undefeated?" ”

Qu Duan replied very calmly: "If you are not defeated, I will cut off the head on your neck." ”

Zhang Jun asked again: "Do you dare to make a military order?" ”

Qu Duan didn't say a word, just picked up the pen and wrote, without the slightest ambiguity.

Zhang Jun carefully put away the military order and told Qu Duan: "Very good, if I lose, I will also cut off your head." ”

What Qu Duan didn't know was that what he wrote to Zhang Jun was not only a military order, but also a detailed confession that he violated the military order without authorization.

Until this moment, Qu Duan still thought that he was safe, and Zhang Jun didn't dare to do anything to him. But he was wrong, very wrong.

Qin Chuan, who has always played the role of Mr. Yes and a good wealth boy, finally returned to his original face.

Zhang Jun directly dismissed Qu Duan from all his duties, demoted him to the end, and went to Jiezhou to "live idle".

Qu Duan was furious, and was about to speak, when he suddenly found that the generals under the rank were looking at him like fools, and their faces were full of ridicule and ridicule.

Qu Duan only came to his senses at this time, and most of the generals in his army had unconsciously changed and stood on Zhang Jun's side - Sun Wu was promoted by Zhang Jun, Zhao Zhe was the first to move closer to Zhang Jun, not to mention Liu Xi. Together with his younger brother Liu Qi. He is the coach of the decisive battle of Fuping appointed by Zhang Jun

Look around. The Western Army is in the hands of Zhang Jun except him, why don't you dare to touch him? Even belittled him and killed him to establish his authority, which is more conducive to improving morale.

In this way, it took Zhang Jun more than a year to finally grasp all the military and political power in the northwest. Zhang Jun has also become the king of the northwest in the true sense

So far, all the arrangements and arrangements made by Zhang Jun in the land of Qinchuan are correct, and they can even be said to be flawless.

From the preparation of military rations, buying people's hearts, step-by-step overhead twists, to the final thunderous blow, the whole process can be called meticulous arrangement and exhaustive strategy.

Next. It depends on Zhang Jun's performance in the Battle of Fuping.

If the Northwest Army can win the decisive battle with Jin Bing in the subsequent decisive battle of Fuping, then Zhang Jun will inevitably become famous through the ages and become another hero in the history of the Han people

As for how this battle should be fought, Zhang Jun gave full play to the spirit of democratic centralism and convened an enlarged pre-war meeting to allow the generals to express their opinions.

Wu Jue was the first to speak, suggesting that the whole army retreat a few dozen miles to the west and re-establish the fortress, because there were mountains there. The Western Army fought in hilly terrain all year round. The mountains are their main battlefield, as long as they are lined up in the mountains. Then the advance can be attacked, retreated, and defended, at least it has the ability to hold on to itself, and the mountains can limit the opponent's heavy cavalry.

In hindsight, Wu Jue's opinion was the way for the Song army to win; But at the time, other opinions were overwhelmingly in favor of Zhang Jun's original plan - a decisive battle in Fuping.

Their argument was: our troops are several times more than the Jin soldiers, and Fuping is a swampy land with reeds, which is not conducive to the cavalry of the Jin State, so there is no need to move.

Volume 108 of "Continuation of Capital and Governance Tongjian": Xi ordered the generals to discuss the battle, and Jue said: "The soldiers move with advantage, and the terrain is unfavorable, how can they fight?" It is advisable to migrate to Gaofu, so that the enemy and horses conflict, and I am enough to resist it. Qin Fenglu mentioned the official affairs of the prison Guo Hao also said: "The enemy can not fight, and he should defend it in a divided place to wait for its disadvantages." All the generals said: "Our division is several times larger than the enemy, and we are blocking the reeds, and the enemy has no way to ride, so why use him to migrate!"

Why do the generals of the Northwest Army think that their own troops are several times more than the golden soldiers?

Because the Jin soldiers led by Wanyan Lou have been in Shaanxi for many years, and they have fought fiercely with the Western Army. His more than 30,000 cavalry is already a public source in the northwest region.

The problem is that the Jin soldiers in the northwest region are now far more than the Yan Lou Room

Jin Guo is well aware of the changes within the Northwest Army.

I don't know what channel Jin Bing got the news through, anyway, Jin Bing already knew that Zhang Junjing had integrated the entire Northwest Army and would make a counterattack against Jin Bing at any time.

This area in the northwest is too important, so the gold lord Wu Qimai decided to drive the expedition in person, and also ordered Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Zongfu, who were far away in the Huaidong region, to lead their cavalry to the northwest battlefield as soon as possible to reinforce Wanyan Lou to ensure the victory of this battle.

In this way, the elite cavalry of the three-way Jin Kingdom of Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Zongfu gathered in one place for the first time after destroying the Liao State to face the enemy together.

The cavalry of these three Jin countries totaled 90,000 people, which was already the majority of the Jin country's troops. If the Dajin Kingdom loses these 90,000 troops, let alone attacking, it will be a problem to even protect itself.

Therefore, in the battle of Fuping, the Song Dynasty cannot be defeated, and the Jin State cannot be defeated either

Zhang Jun hoarded a large amount of supplies in Fuping, so how many troops did he muster?

The record of the "History of the Song Dynasty" is 400,000 infantry and 70,000 cavalry; In the nineteenth chapter of the "History of Jin", it is recorded that the emperor went to Luoshui to govern the army, Zhang Jun had 60,000 cavalry, and 120,000 foot soldiers were Fuping.

Considering the fine tradition of the Song army falsely reporting the number of people and eating empty salaries, the records in the history of Jin are closer to reality.

According to the practice of the Song army, one-third of these 180,000 people should be porters who transport grain, that is, the actual strength of the Song army should be 120,000.

The two sides faced off in the field, and the mixed corps of 120,000 infantry and cavalry of the Song Dynasty faced off against the pure cavalry of the 80,000 Jin Kingdom, which should be regarded as a very fair decisive battle.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out

Song Jun made the first move. Zhang Jun offered a bounty. Who can capture Yan Lou's room alive, reward the envoy title, 10,000 pieces of silver and silk.

Obviously, at this time, Zhang Jun thought that his opponent was just Wanyan Lou Room, and he didn't know that he was about to face the full attack of the entire Dajin Kingdom.

Jin Guo's response was: There is a life to capture Zhang Jun. Reward a donkey. A piece of cloth.

Zhang Jun was furious. Give Jin Bing a war letter, and fight a decisive battle in a dignified manner, and there is no need to do some verbal battles.

Jin Guo agreed to Zhang Jun's request, and at the same time put forward a condition: since the location was decided by the Song army, it didn't matter if he wanted to be in Fuping, but the time of the decisive battle had to be determined by the Jin soldiers.

Jin Bing's request, Zhang Jun did not refuse.

The Song Dynasty decided on the location. Jin Guo decides the time, and this arrangement seems to be quite fair.

In this way, the Jin and Song dynasties agreed that on September 24, the fourth year of Jianyan, when the eagle flew and the grass grew, they would decide whether to win or lose in Fuping

On the 24th of September, the Jin army launched the first wave of offensive at the appointment.

Wanyan Lou sent three thousand iron horsemen, loaded with firewood, grass and soil bags, and quickly rushed to the swampy area in front of the Song army, charging all the way. Throwing away the firewood and soil, a large road was soon created for the horses to pass.

After finishing Yan Lou's room, one move broke the geographical advantage that Song Jun claimed. General Chang Sheng really lived up to his name.

When the Song army had not yet come to their senses, the Jin soldiers had already launched a second wave of attacks

The second wave of the Jin soldiers' offensive was in charge of Wanyan Wushu.

Wanyan Wushu personally led the 30,000 elite cavalry under his command to charge, but he did not directly attack the main formation of the Northwest Army, but quickly circled around the flank and rear of the Western Army, where there was a poorly defended and porous camp that Wanyan Lou had personally investigated.

This is indeed the biggest weakness of the Northwest Army.

Because this is not a military camp at all, but a place where people live.

Once it broke through the previous layers of defense, attacked the place where the people lived, and forced tens of thousands of people to flee indiscriminately, it could disrupt the entire defensive system of the Song army, and the Song army would definitely be defeated.

At this time, a group of cavalry rushed out of the Song camp, led by a young general named Liu Qi

Liu Qi's bravery is unimaginable.

In the first round of hedging between the two armies, Liu Qi killed Chi Zhanhui, the head of the Jin army, and stabbed the cavalry brigade that had completed Yan Wushu; turned back to the second round of sprints, and basically wiped out the command of Chi Zhanhui; In the third round of sprinting, he actually surrounded Wanyan Wushu and his remaining half of his troops.

What level of general is this Liu Qi!

The next time was the unilateral massacre of the Jin soldiers by the Song army. And Wanyan Wushu and the remaining more than 10,000 golden soldiers were besieged by Liu Qi, and they couldn't get out, and they became turtles in the urn.

At the end of the fourth year of Jianyan, everything was indeed not going well for Wanyan Wushu. Maybe he can't even remember how many times he was forced into a desperate situation by the Song army this year.

The problem is that although God has repeatedly arranged to force Wanyan Wushu into a desperate situation, he has also arranged a savior to rescue him from the sea of suffering every time, and what is even more strange is that these saviors are all Han Chinese.

This time, the name of the Han man was Han Chang, the character Yuanji, the strongest general under the Golden Vulture Tent. He is known for his good archery, and he can shoot a bow with the power of three stones, which is among the Song and Jin countries, only Yue Fei is of the same level as him.

I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet.

Han Chang shot a lot, and today he finally got retribution - he was shot in the eye by a stray arrow.

After the arrow, Han Chang suddenly burst out of character: he pulled the arrow out of his eye socket, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and pressed it, and his combat effectiveness rose sharply, and he actually accurately found the golden vulture in the chaotic army, and killed his female Allah

How amazing, how heroic! The Han people have once again become the saviors of the completion of Yan Wushu

In this way, the clashes between the Jin and Song armies in the morning were temporarily suspended.

The Jin army won first and then lost, wasting all the ingenious arrangements of the victorious general Wanyan Lou's room.

Liu Qi only used the men and horses of the Jingyuan Army Headquarters, equivalent to one-fifth of the strength of the Northwest Army, to repel and cripple one-third of the troops of the Jin State, and paralyzed the troops in charge of the right flank.

Before Wanyan Wushu, he was also defeated by Yue Fei and Han Shizhong in Jiankang Mansion and on the Yangtze River, but there were various objective reasons for the defeat at that time, even if it was said that Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were not victorious, they could barely be established.

However, the battle between Liu Qi and Wanyan Wushu was the first time since the war between the Song and Jin countries that the Jin soldiers were defeated under the condition of being in good condition.

After the defeat of the Yan Wushu, there was nothing to say about the loss...... (To be continued......)
