Chapter 107: The Divine Decree Comes
There were no accidents at this banquet.
However, Zhao Pu was a little worried, his security measures were too low, and if a Jin Army assassin attacked, he would be in danger. It seems that the security measures should be improved, otherwise the safety is not guaranteed, and it is not possible to sleep well. When he looked at this woman named Wu'er again, Zhao Pu's heart was a little hot, should he train the "Song Dynasty version of Klop".
When Zhao Pu returned to the barracks, he took Wu'er with him.
At this time, Wu'er had already taken off her outfit, was wearing armor on her body, and had a mask on her face, looking heroic.
The explanation has been completed, and after sending those weapons, grain and grass to the Hedong Righteous Army, the Bazi Army once again embarked on the journey to Bianliang.
Along the way, the whole army made a rapid assault, with a bit of a blitzkrieg, and some of the states and counties occupied by the Jin army were often quickly breached. In many prefectures and counties, without even closing the city gates, they were killed by the Bazi Army, and a large amount of grain, equipment, etc. were seized.
And Zhao Pu also took this opportunity to train the newly recruited soldiers.
The Bazi Army originally had only 8,000 people, and in the successive battles, the dead were killed, the wounded were disabled, and the combat attrition was extremely serious, and there were only more than 6,000 veterans left. Of the 12,000 people, almost half were recruits. These recruits have undergone short-term assault training, and some indicators are considered qualified. But after all, he has never been on the battlefield or cut people, and there is always too much immaturity on his body.
may have become a soft-footed crab in a certain battle; It may also be in a certain battle, a thousand miles of collapse, or even lead to the defeat of the Bazi Army. Zhao Pu can't afford to lose, because if he loses, he may never have a chance to turn the book back, and losing is equivalent to death in many cases.
It can only be constantly trained and let these recruits attack the states and counties occupied by the Jin army, and many recruits may die, but those who survive must be elite.
And these Jin Jun in Hedong happen to be the best sparring partners.
The Jin army also has a difference of four, six, nine and so on, among which the Jurchen army is the strongest; The army composed of the Khitans and the Bohai people was second; The Han army in Liaodi is again strong; Originally, it was the Song army, but when the Jin army attacked, it turned into the worst strength of the Jin army.
The Jurchens are less than 10,000, and they are invincible. This is the biggest advantage of the Jurchens, but also the biggest disadvantage, the Jurchens are very strong, very strong in combat, but the population is too small. The army of other nationalities had to be recruited to join the sequence of the Jin army and assist the Jin army in battle. At this time, the Jin army besieging Bianliang was the most powerful, and it was composed of Jurchens, Khitans, Bohai people, and Han elites, and their combat effectiveness was the strongest.
In some other areas, the combat effectiveness of the Jin army was very inferior, and some of the Jin army was originally the Song army, but the Jin army called, had no choice but to surrender, and finally became part of the Jin army.
These armies, with very poor forces, are the best whetstones.
In the process of constantly bullying these second-rate, third-rate, and even fourth-rate Jin Army, those recruits gradually found their sense that they were not afraid of the Jin Army.
In the successive battles, Zhao Pu also had to sigh that the Jin army was invincible in the field, but the level of defending the city was too poor. Or it can also be said that the main force of the Jin army is used for field battles, but the most scummy troops are used to defend the city. Except for a critical city, which must be defended and cannot be lost, most of the cities are dispensable.
It's good to be able to hold it, but it's not a big loss if you can't hold it.
"This is the gap between Song and Jin! The Song Dynasty had many people and many people, and the Jin Dynasty had few people and few lands, and the Song Dynasty pursued how many cities it occupied, while the Jurchens pursued how many enemies they had annihilated. As long as the main force of the Jin army is not destroyed, even if it recovers Hedong and Hebei, it is meaningless. As long as it occupies the danger of Youyan, the Jin army can attack at any time! ”
Suddenly, Zhao Pu somewhat understood that the key to confronting the Jin army should not be to pursue the gains and losses of one city and one place, but to focus on the pursuit of annihilating the living force of the Jin army. Even if Hedong is recovered and Hebei is recovered, it is difficult to shake the foundation of the Jin army; However, once the Jin army loses more than 100,000 troops, it is facing the danger of national annihilation.
After breaking through the states and counties occupied by the Jin army, Zhao Pu did not stop, let alone send troops to station, and handed over all the troops to the nearby rebels, and then continued to march quickly.
After a difficult trek, we finally arrived at the Yellow River, as long as we crossed the river, Bianliang was in front of us.
At this time, Bianliang's holy decree arrived.
The meaning of the holy decree is to ask King Yi to lead his army to move to the Daimyo's mansion.
Zhao Pu was stunned, and said secretly in his heart: "This emperor brother, but he knows my heart very well, I have never planned to go to Bianliang City, I just plan to deal with it on the periphery!" “
Bianliang is already a big pit at this time, and whoever falls into the pit will be.
More than 100,000 elites of the Jin army gathered here, using Bianliang as bait, with the idea of encircling the point to send reinforcements, constantly annihilating the Song army that came to the rescue. continued to devour those reinforcements, until the final reinforcements were completely exhausted, and there was no rescue to rescue Bianliang, that was when Bianliang fell.
Historically, the Hunan army surrounded Tianjing, constantly exhausting the main force of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, until the fat dragged the thin and the thin dragged to death.
Although he thought so in his heart, Zhao Pu was disappointed to the extreme, the emperor's brother still didn't run away, and Jingkang's shame was about to happen.
…………
In desperation, Zhao Pu could only move to the Daimyo Mansion and head towards the metropolis to the east.
At this moment, Bianliang has been besieged by water, the city on all sides is completely besieged, and the grain and grass are completely cut off. At this moment, Song Qinzong knew that the Jin Army was really playing this thing, and it was to capture Bianliang in one fell swoop and play a war to destroy the country, rather than simply fighting and leaving.
The defenders of Bianliang soon collided violently with the Jin army, and the sound of killing continued, and the fighting continued.
The siege of the Jin army failed again, and Bianliang City showed its domineering and strong side.
As the capital, Bianliang's walls were too high and too thick to be overcome. Even Wanyan Sticky Han, who has always been good at siege of the city, is also a headache, when besieging Taiyuan, you can implement the method of locking the city, but the siege of Bianliang is simply unable to implement the method of locking the city. Bianliang is too big, and it is not at all the five capitals of Liao, and the small cities of Taiyuan are comparable.
The likes of Wujing and Taiyuan in Liao are only small compared with Bianliang, and they are not at the same level at all.
If you blindly attack Bianliang, even if all the elites of the hundreds of thousands of Jin troops are dead, they may not be able to capture Bianliang City, fortunately Bianliang has a fatal weakness, that is, there are too many people, huge food pressure, in peacetime, relying on the transfer of the Bianhe River, it is not too difficult; Once the Bianhe River is cut off and the foreign grain and grass are cut off during the war, there will be a famine in Bianliang.
Maybe in the end, Bianliang will not be breached, but it may be starved to death.
The strategy of capturing Bianliang was not focused on breaking through Bianliang's city defenses, but on eliminating foreign reinforcements. As long as the reinforcements are extinguished, Bianliang may surrender without a fight.
The loss of Bianliang has become a foregone conclusion.
At this time, Wanyan was inseparable, but he was a little sullen. After the fall of Bianliang, how to deal with the Song State, there was a violent quarrel in the upper echelons of the Jin State, and he supported the establishment of Song Qinzong as a puppet emperor, the establishment of a puppet regime, and the gain time for digesting the results of Hedong and Hebei; However, Wanyan Sticky Han insisted on abolishing Song Qinzong and setting up a new emperor, so that the Song State would once again appear in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties.
And in the confrontation between the two opinions, Wan Yan was completely defeated.
