Chapter 365: Dead Land

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!

At this time, Li Pojun was the moment of his blood and strength, and it was the moment when he wanted to make contributions and show his face, so he had a bit of a desperate taste for Saburo in the war.

This Northern Expedition, according to the general idea, should be to take it step by step, threaten Bianliang, attract the attention of the pseudo-Qi, and then take the opportunity to annihilate the first one. It's just that this routine is too dull and a bit dumb. The two armies faced each other and fought each other, and there was no winner or loser in three or five months.

In the end, it is likely to be "repeatedly attacked, and the troops have no choice but to retreat!" ”

For Li Pojun, a tie is a defeat.

So, Li Pojun came to attack the east and west, ostensibly attacking the prefectures and counties near Bianliang, but in fact, he sent an elite sneak attack on Luoyang, broke through Yique Pass in one fell swoop, and then attacked Luoyang, Luoyang defenders, they didn't have time to react at all, they were surrounded and annihilated.

This is all learned from Zhao Pu, Zhao Pu is the best at surprise attacks, good at waiting for work, and Li Pojun gradually learned this trick.

The victory in this battle was expected, and the battle was taken by surprise and caught off guard by the defenders; At the moment when the defense was lax, when no trace of information was obtained, the Song army killed under the city of Luoyang, and the fierce battle began;

In addition, most of the defenders are mainly pseudo-Qi troops, with only 5,000 gold troops, and the combat power of these gold troops is also average, and they are simply called elite, only second- and third-rate troops. After the surprise attack, no effective resistance was organized, and chaos was formed.

The battle was won, and a large number of horses, grain, grass, equipment, etc. from Luoyang's reserves were captured.

It's just that after capturing Luoyang, Li Pojun didn't have much joy, and this bit of combat achievement was not enough!

"Wan Yanchang, I'm waiting for you!"

"First, order the whole army to blockade Luoyang City, and you can only enter. Can't get out; second, the grain and grass equipment are mostly distributed to the local people, and those that cannot be taken are ready to be destroyed; Third, actively strengthen the city defense to prevent the Jin army from counterattacking; Fourth, inform the whole city that the emperor's million-strong army will go on a northern expedition, and soon, Bianliang will be restored and the pseudo-Qi ............ will be destroyed."

One order after another was issued, and the core was to defend Luoyang. Waiting for reinforcements.

Luoyang, which had just experienced the war, was busy again, actively building fortifications to prevent the Jin army from counterattacking. The people were a little frightened, a little uneasy. But it was more joy and joy, and I finally saw Master Wang again. I saw the scene of recovering mountains and rivers again.

Originally, the people of Luoyang. It's very happy, but with the Jin army going south, the beautiful life is broken, the Jin army doesn't know benevolence, righteousness and morality, and he doesn't know what the royal law is, so he will cut you if you don't like it. If you see that your daughter is good-looking, you will snatch it away, and the people will suffer.

As soon as he heard that Wang Shi was going to defend Luoyang, he immediately joined in to assist in the construction of city defense.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings. At this time, Luoyang is another big war, at least many people think so. At this time, in Luoyang City, some Jin troops worked carefully and spread the news that the Song army was defending Luoyang.

…………

At this moment, everyone thought that the Song army was going to defend Luoyang, and Luoyang was going to have a big battle.

didn't expect that this was Li Pojun's trick again.

Once a war starts, there is no such thing as a front line and a rear, and war can occur anytime, anywhere, and at any time. It is not possible to count on the enemy to fight in imaginary places, imaginary moments.

At this time, on the surface, it was advertised to defend Luoyang, but in fact, in Luoyang at this moment, in addition to the defense of 5,000 soldiers and horses, more soldiers and horses left Luoyang and rushed to the ambush site, wanting to give the Jin army a blow.

It seems that under the influence of Zhao Pu, in the eyes of Li Pojun, there is no so-called danger, there is no so-called important city, some are just annihilating the enemy army, annihilating the enemy army, annihilating the enemy army, or annihilating the enemy army.

It is better to break a city than to break an army!

The significance of sticking to Luoyang is far from annihilating Yan Chang's main force.

Doesn't Wan Yanchang like Luoyang City, then throw it to him, as long as it is enough to leave the corpse of tens of thousands of gold soldiers.

20,000 infantry, 5,000 cavalry set off quietly.

In order to better conceal themselves, the 25,000-strong army was dispersed into a dozen units, starting from different directions, and finally gathering at the pointing point.

A day later, the whole army gathered together, counted the number of people, and all arrived.

"In this battle, the cavalry of the Jin army is the majority, and we are mainly infantry, so we can't rush and kill the Jin people head-on, but with the help of the terrain and firearms, we will give them a lot of killing, and then use the cavalry to rush and kill from both sides, and the battlefield is here."

As he spoke, Li Pojun pointed to the open ground in front of him.

"This place is flat and good at cavalry charges, so it doesn't seem to be the best place to ambush!" A Song army general wondered.

"Yes, the ambush of the Jin army should be used to find the terrain, and this place seems to be not suitable!"

The generals present said one after another.

The battlefield in front of you, with the Yellow River in the south and a branch of the Yellow River in the west, is at the confluence of the two rivers, is an open plain, the terrain is flat, there is no topographical advantage to take advantage of, but it is conducive to cavalry charging and killing.

Once the cavalry exerts its might, the infantry of the Song army really can't stop it!

"I have conceived of several ambush sites, where the terrain is dangerous, there are many valleys, and high slopes can be used, which is a good place to snipe cavalry. It's just that with Yan Chang's shrewdness, he will inevitably be very vigilant there, and I don't have the slightest chance. The only chance is to set up an ambush in the place where Wan Yanchang is most at ease, and where he feels that he will not be ambushed, only in this way can he be completely defeated! ”

"And this place is the best place for ambush, it seems that the plain is conducive to cavalry fighting, but it is also a place of death; There are large rivers in the west and south, and as long as there are mines, trenches, etc., in ambush in the north, this is a dead place! ”

"Once the Jin army enters this place, it can only fight desperately, or withdraw to the east. It's just that whether it is evacuating to the east or fighting to the death, our army has won! ”

"Staying here and fighting to the death will only drain the last drop of blood of this golden army; And retreating to the east indicates that the battle has been lost, and at that time, the Jin army will inevitably suffer heavy losses. ”

"One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. It is understandable that there was a defeat once, but the second defeat was enough to frustrate the morale of the army, and two consecutive defeats were enough to demoralize the Jin army. An army without morale is like a man without a soul. ”

"At that time, although the Jin Army was still the Jin Army, it was a local chicken and a dog."

"This victory is in two points, one is that it was unexpected, and Wan Yanchang did not have a trace of defense; second, the power of firearms; The third is the will of the whole army to fight. This battle is a big victory, promoted and rich, everything is easy to say, but if you get out of the basket, just wipe your neck, I can't afford to lose that person! ”

Li Pojun said fiercely. (To be continued......)
