Chapter 361: Yue Fei is in charge
Wan Yan Lou analyzed the battle situation, and the originally complex and unpredictable battle situation was peeled back and broken down one by one.
Jin Wushu's mood became heavier and heavier, and his opponent was even more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
"The Song army attacked in four directions, I don't know where the main force is?"
Wanyan Lou Room continued: "The Song army attacked in four directions, and the Western Route Army was the Shaanxi Army, which seemed to be the most powerful, but in the Battle of Bianliang and the Battle of Hedong, all the elites were lost, and the newly recruited soldiers were not strong enough to defend the city, and the attack was insufficient, so there would be no large-scale battles on the West Road!" ”
"The Middle Route Army, which is mainly based on Xiangyang, can easily attack Bianliang and Luoyang, with the shortest attack distance, and can recover the old capital Bianliang. If the general emperor of the Song Dynasty chose to attack in the middle, but Zhao Pu did not regain his name, he would definitely not attack in the middle, just because the middle road was mostly plains, which was not only difficult to transport grain and grass, but also to fight with my iron horse, which was not advisable. ”
"And on the northern route, it is not advisable to use the navy to attack, and the number of naval labor divisions is less than 30,000, and there is more than enough harassment and not enough siege!"
"This battle is most likely to be in Xuzhou, with Xuzhou as the center, luring our army to converge in Xuzhou, and then fight a war of annihilation. In the fierce battle in Xuzhou, you can use the canal to transfer grain and grass, which is convenient for baggage transfer, and you can also take Shandong smoothly with the help of naval changes! ”
………………
"Guarding the river must guard the Huai! The loss of the Huai River is equal to the loss of the gate, equal to the initiative in the hands of the enemy, the key to this battle is to seize the Huaibei generation, this battle to Xuzhou as the center, lock the gate, lock the gate, so that the Jin army can not spy on my Jiangnan, but also to use this to eliminate the Jin army! ”
When Lou Room kept thinking about Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu was also thinking about how to fight.
The Northern Expedition, attacking from all sides, dispersed forces. It's just going to be bad everywhere. This external propaganda is the Northern Expedition of the Fourth Route Army, which is just a fool of the layman, just to pretend to be a big man, in fact, only the Eastern Route Army is really attacking.
The Shaanxi Army, which is mainly defensive; The Middle Route Army went out of Xiangyang, dispatching 5,000 iron cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers to strengthen the momentum and attract the attention of the Jin army; And the Navy. Under the leadership of Han Shizhong, he landed in Goryeo, mainly to form an alliance with Goryeo and build a base area.
The real use of the army, the dispatch of the soldiers. Only the Eastern Route Army.
The focus of this operation was to seize the Huaibei area. Able to threaten Shandong to the north. Central Plains and other regions.
In the Huaibei area, the transportation of grain and grass is shorter, the pressure on logistics and supply is small, and the most important point is that even if the battle is lost, it can run better.
At this time, Zhao Pu can be described as contradictory and powerful. Bold and cautious, there is a kind of determination to fight to the death, and it is extremely cautious. Thought of the worst.
Soon the troops were dispatched, and the battle of Huai'an began.
At this moment, the front line began to fight in full swing, but Zhao Pu was a little idle, and he felt like playing video games, staying in Jiankang at this time, looking at the map, moving the troops on the front line around, attacking this and attacking that, as for the actual results, these are two different things.
Just playing video games, if you lose, you lose, and you can start all over again; It's just that this is a war, and after it is lost, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people will be unlucky.
At this time, Zhao Pu understood the bitterness of the battle of Hedong.
In the battle of Hedong, the rescue of Taiyuan, the last few armies failed, one of the reasons for the failure was that Song Qinzong commanded remotely in Bianliang, which made the front-line army lose its freedom and the battle mode was rigid, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army.
In the Battle of Hedong, the rescue failed, the fundamental reason was that the Song army was decayed and its combat effectiveness declined, even the Western Army, which was known as the strongest army, was a mess of mud; In addition, the hasty dispatch of troops and poor logistics led to a shortage of food and grass on the front line, which was also one of the reasons for the defeat.
In addition, there is also Li Gangwen, who is a little average and difficult to control the arrogant generals of the Western Army, which is also one of the reasons for the defeat
As for the remote command, which led to defeat, the reason is very far-fetched.
Fighting a war is a game of chess, and it is necessary to proceed from the overall situation, rather than fighting each unit individually, and individual units must obey the command of the whole. From ancient times to the present, many battles have been commanded remotely.
The so-called "generals are outside, and military orders are not subject to it" refers more to winning battles; And if you don't follow military orders and lose the battle, you are likely to have your head cut off.
As a matter of fact, remote control command is only in the direction of attack, and it is rare to command specific operations.
Even Song Qinzong, who was militarily illiterate, would not be stupidly involved in specific operational commands. And attributing the battle of Hedong to remote command can be said to be the most inappropriate reason.
And now, Zhao Pu is also in Jiankang, fighting thousands of miles away.
It's just that at this moment, Zhao Pu feels more helpless.
Every day various news came, and then the military department analyzed it and came to conclusions. It's just that both these messages and conclusions are more outdated.
In this era, there was no telegraph, no satellite, no fax, and the news was extremely lagging behind. But by the time the news came, it was already a few days later, and it was impossible to stop it.
As for whether you can win a big game, it's all up to luck.
…………
At this moment, the battle of Huai'an has begun!
It was Yue Fei, a new-generation general, who commanded the battle.
A good start is very important, and it is also very important to win the first battle!
The first battle not only consolidated the morale of the army and the people, but also gave the Jin army an illusion that the Song army was going to dispatch heavy troops on the east road to relieve the pressure on the northwest and cover for the next plan.
Therefore, Zhao Pu boldly enabled Yue Fei.
When it comes to the Southern Song Dynasty, it is inevitable to mention Yue Fei, and Yue Fei seems to be synonymous with the Southern Song Dynasty. In this era, Yue Fei is invincible, no matter how powerful the enemy is, he can only face Yue Fei. In the terminology of fantasy novels, this is "the son of the plane", this is the "pig's foot treatment".
Relatively speaking, Zhao Pu, the emperor, is more of a soy sauce player.
Although later generations have too many doubts about Yue Fei's amazing achievements, and most of them think that later generations will add secondaments, and feel that it is exaggerated, but the truth is that even if Yue Fei does not have Han Xin's talent, he can be regarded as a rare general.
At least throughout Yue Fei's life, he has not fought a major defeat that has been defeated for thousands of miles.
The worst comment is nothing more than "repeated attacks".
As a result, Yue Fei was only twenty-eight years old, and he commanded an army of more than 200,000 and set out to conquer Huaibei.
When this proposal was proposed, the court was in an uproar, and the dissatisfied civil ministers and military generals wrote to persuade them not to be reckless. As the saying goes, a radish and a pit, if you occupy it, I will not have it. And this 200,000 army is not a local army, nor is it a 200,000 forbidden army in the Northern Song Dynasty, but a division of 100 refinements.
Most of these armies have experienced the Battle of Hedong, the Great Victory of Yangzhou, and the Battle of Xiangyang, most of which are elite, and their combat power is undoubtedly strong.
Later, it was expanded, reorganized, and strengthened, and the overall combat effectiveness soared.
These 200,000 troops are almost equal to the elite and strong army of the fifth layer of the Southern Song Dynasty.
No one wants to hand over such a large army to a hairy boy.
And Zhao Pu didn't bother to argue, it didn't make sense.
Zhao Pu only asked, "Yue Fei is not suitable, so who is suitable?" If that one thinks he's better than him, I'll give you a chance? ”
Suddenly, the ministers were a little dumbfounded.
I have to say that this is the inferior root nature of scholars and doctors, and it is also the inferior root nature of human nature, only seeing the shortcomings of others, but not seeing their own shortcomings.
At this time, the appointment of Yue Fei was indeed a bit hasty, and Yue Fei did have many shortcomings. At least at this time, Yue Fei has not yet grown into Marshal Yue in later generations, but apart from him, he can't find a suitable candidate. When there is no best candidate, it can only be improvised.
Some generals were not convinced and stepped forward one after another.
At this time, there is no Kong Rong to let the pear say.
And Zhao Pu convinced them.
So a few simple military confrontations began, whether the mules or horses were pulled out for a walk, whether it could be done or not, first competed.
The first game, a one-man confrontation;
in the second, fifty people confronted;
the third, 500 men confronted;
Fourth, retreat rehearsal;
the fifth, sand table rehearsal;
In the five duels, they were tested on individual combat ability, squad combat ability, team combat ability, retreat ability, and overall grasp. As long as you pass these five points, you can become a qualified marshal.
In the era of cold weapons, the big war was very simple and direct, and there were not too many mysteries to speak of.
Of course, simple does not mean easy, it does not mean that everyone can do it, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty would not have lost so badly, losing half of the country.
In five games, Yue Fei won in the end, and he became the coach of the Eastern Route Army without any doubts. (To be continued......)
