Chapter 200: After the War
"The four thousand gold army is all wiped out like this!"
Walking in the dilapidated camp, Wang Wuyue was a little incredulous.
If the 4,000 Jin army fights under normal conditions, the tens of thousands of Song troops may not be able to stay, and if they can't fight, the Jin army can easily retreat, and it is really difficult to catch up with the four-legged runaway. But today, overnight, all of them were wiped out, and the infantry and cavalry only participated in the sweeping work.
She also saw the horror of black powder for the first time.
In the face of the unconscionable cannon covering the terror, no matter how brave he is, he will definitely die in the end.
"And so it is destroyed!" Zhao Pu said calmly, "I said, don't overestimate the Jin Army, the Jin Army is very powerful, but it is not invincible, it is also a human being, it is also two legs, two arms, and a head, it will also kill people, as long as the tactics are applied properly, and then it is completely possible to kill the Jin Army by surprise!" ”
"However, this battle is destined to be difficult to imitate, our army wins by surprise, and Jin army wins by arrogance.
"The longest range of running without conscience is only 200 meters, which is his biggest shortcoming. Once discovered by Jin Jun, all plans were lost. Fortunately for me, the Jin Army did not place patrol cavalry outside the camp, which saved us a lot of trouble; Second, tonight's night is darker, and I can't see my fingers; Third, after a day of fierce fighting, the Jin army was tired and less vigilant. The superposition of many factors led to the annihilation of the Jin army, and if there was one less link, the battle might not be so perfect! ”
Generally speaking, patrol posts were to be set up on the periphery of the camp, and cavalry was constantly roaming outside to guard against enemy night attacks. However, the Jin army rarely did this, and in this era, the common people generally suffered from night blindness, and they could not see beyond ten meters without their torches; And if you are carrying a torch, it is easy to become the target of attack.
In the Song Realm, the Jin army's patrol posts were attacked by the rebels many times, and the rebels often destroyed the patrol posts, and ran away, which made the Jin army hate and have nothing to do. The number of losses was too many, and the Jin army rarely set up patrol posts on the periphery, but only closely guarded the gate of the camp and the fence.
In the eyes of the generals of the Jin Army, the Song soldiers were cowardly and would only attack by stealing chickens and dogs, and did not dare to really fight. As long as the gate of the village is guarded and the fence is guarded, the army will be safe, even if the Song army attacks the camp at night, it doesn't care.
This kind of negligence, this kind of carelessness, gave Zhao Pu the opportunity to fight.
Zhao Pu also learned about this situation, so he decisively decided on this battle plan.
And even more fortunately, tonight the night is dark, you can't see your five fingers, the visibility is low, you can't see clearly, the scene is blurry 50 meters away, 100 meters away it is even darker, 200 meters away the Song army arranged for half an hour, and the Jin army camp knows nothing.
In addition, a large amount of black powder was also one of the important factors, and almost every soldier of the Jin Army was bombarded with forty catties of black powder.
All of the above, a combination of factors, led to this victory.
In this battle, the black powder stored in Yangzhou City was almost exhausted, not to mention anything else, but the cost of making black powder alone reached as much as 300,000 yuan. That is to say, Yangzhou is rich and rich, not bad for money, and the general area really can't support such a large consumption.
As soon as the cannon sounded, there were ten thousand taels of gold, which was not blown.
Compared with cold weapon warfare, gunpowder warfare is more terrifying in terms of dependence on logistics and the consumption of money.
"This time it's just an accident, the next time the Jin Army is prepared, it may not be so easy to win!" Zhao Pu said calmly.
"If you create artillery with a range of five miles, hundreds of guns will attack together, and the firepower will be covered, and then tens of thousands of gold troops will also be turned into ashes." Wang Wuyue said with some longing, "And the elite of the Jin army is only more than 100,000, and after a few battles like this, the Jin army is not far from being completely wiped out!" ”
Zhao Pu said from afar: "This is impossible, the cavalry of the Jin Army is the mainstay, and they will only fight a sports war with us, not blindly a positional war." Unless ............"
The advent of artillery, flintlock pistols, and even modern rifles did not necessarily put an end to cavalry. It was only in the era of machine guns that cavalry went into decline; It was not until the advent of tanks that the cavalry completely declined. But at this moment, it is still far from the invention of machine guns and tanks.
…………
In this battle, the Jin army was completely wiped out.
After the destruction of the Jin army, the ministers of the court were also relieved, and when the court meeting was held again, Zhao Pu obviously found that the atmosphere was a little different, there were many fewer quarrels, and there was a lot more respect, and the ministers could no longer treat the new emperor like a child. At this moment, Zhao Pu had a hint of being an emperor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have something to do, you will play early, and you will retreat from the dynasty if you have nothing to do!" When it was time to go to the last dynasty, Zhao Pu began to feel sleepy again.
"Your Majesty, now that our army has won a great victory in Yangzhou, it should be celebrated for three days!"
"Your Majesty, the Jin army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and our army should lead the division to grieve, drive the Jin army out of the Yellow River, and recover the territory!"
"In this battle, Shandong is lost, Huaibei can be broken every day, I am no longer safe in Yangzhou, we must move the capital to Jiankang, the honor guard of the Yangtze River is dangerous, the sailor is sharp, and the Jin army will be intercepted on the north bank, this time to protect the whole country!"
The ministers began to talk about it again, some said that they wanted to celebrate the victory, some said that they wanted to go on the Northern Expedition, and some said that they wanted to move the capital, and Zhao Pu's head was dizzy again, and he felt like he was sleeping, and this time he was lucky, and he finally didn't sleep. And after the court meeting, Zhao Pufan didn't eat, just lay on the bed and fell asleep!
Zhao Pu can sleep peacefully, but some people can't sleep.
In Yangzhou City, a fish that slipped through the net was angry, he was Su Yi, the leader of the Jin Army's secret agents, responsible for a section of military intelligence in Huaibei Shandong.
From the beginning of the battle, Su Yi did not think that the 7,000 Jin Army could take Yangzhou lightly, and worked hard to persuade Yan to evacuate and move his troops to attack other states and counties in Yangzhou. Wanyan evacuated and despised the Jin army, did not listen to his opinion, and rashly attacked the Song army camp outside the city, resulting in heavy losses.
In the face of huge losses, Wanyan evacuated and also came to his senses and planned to take the opportunity to leave.
Just wanted to leave, it was too late, at the moment of dawn, the Song army attacked, the violent gunpowder explosion resounded continuously, the earth was trembling, and the flames were rushing...... It wasn't until noon the next day that Su Yi learned that the Jin army had been wiped out. The 4,000 gold army, overnight, was annihilated, evacuated and beheaded.
After hearing the news, Su Yi was frightened and scared. Frightened to leave one step earlier, to avoid death; What I was afraid of was that the 4,000 gold army was gone.
No matter what the means, it is not easy to destroy the 4,000 gold army overnight.
"First of all, Wanyan Ye's 5,000 gold army was destroyed, and then Wanyan evacuated and 7,000 gold troops were wiped out, the eight-character army is not simple, and Zhao Pu is not simple!" Su Yi thought about the information on the intelligence, and became more and more worried in her heart, one victory can be said to be a fluke, but two victories may not be a fluke.
Picking up the pen, Suyi began to write a letter, reporting the recent situation in Yangzhou, and after writing, he tied it to the pigeon's leg, and finally the pigeon flew up and disappeared into the sky.
