"It has been three months since the siege of Bianliang, and most of the soldiers in the city lack training, and Li Gang, who commands the army, is just a literati. Today's Bianliang is in danger of falling, how can our army linger and delay the military plane! The planter shouted.

"Brother, it's not that I'm timid, but that I'm not as strong as others!" "Our army is small, only 30,000 people, and there is a lack of armor, at least half of it is armor, and most of the soldiers with armor are old. The appearance of armor-piercing arrows is only 100,000, and the long-range attack is insufficient. And the most worrying thing is that the cavalry is only 3,000, and the horses are poor! ”

I know best about my own background.

The people say that the Shaanxi Army (referred to as the Western Army) is the strongest army in the Great Song Dynasty. But in fact, the Western Army was very weak, like a papier-mâché tiger.

Back then, the Qing Tang Qiang was wiped out, it was because the enemy was too weak and internally corrupt, and the Western Army attacked with several times the strength of the army, and it was strange that it was crushed with strong troops, and it was not lost.

Later, Fang La was destroyed, because Fang La was too weak at that time, the Manichaeans under his command were a group of peasants and unemployed vagrants, and their combat effectiveness was extremely poor. In addition, the Song Dynasty pursued strong cadres and weak branches, resulting in a shortage of grain and grass in the local government and county treasury, and a serious shortage of ordnance. Although Fang La occupied many areas in the south of the Yangtze River and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, these two fatal weaknesses made Fang La's uprising seem to be huge, but in fact, it was strong on the outside. It can be said that it is not so much that the Western Army defeated Fang La, but that Fang La itself is vulnerable.

There were various contradictions within the Western Army, and there were many internal factions, and in order to compete for war merits, there were often fights; Some generals have the phenomenon of greed for ink, which is extremely serious, and after layers of fire consumption, layers of filial piety to superiors, less than three layers of real distribution to the low-level officers and soldiers; Some generals also colluded with merchants to resell armor, weapons, and even large equipment. And the most terrible thing is the Western Army, which is good in Shaanxi, but when it goes to other places, it often robs the people, like bandits. Most of the generals did not dare to restrain them, for fear of triggering a mutiny.

The seemingly powerful Western Army is actually extremely weak. Against those weak armies, it may be possible to fight with a large number of people, blood and bravery, and defeat the enemy in one go. However, it is extremely dangerous to encounter some strong brigades.

In the face of this Western Xia army, the Western Army must leave enough soldiers to defend against the Western Xia Army taking the opportunity to invade. And the mobile troops that can be summoned are seriously insufficient, and the equipment in the treasury is also seriously lacking......

"How can I not know this! But we didn't have a choice! The seed master sighed, "The army of the world, the Western Xia army is stronger than our Shaanxi army, the Liao army is stronger than the Western Xia army, and the Jin army is stronger than the Liao army." The strength of the Jin army overpowered the Western Xia army, the Liao army, and the Shaanxi army, which can be called the first. The gap between our Shaanxi Army and the Jin Army is obvious. If you want to defeat the Jin army, you must be three times, or even five times the Jin army, and then set up a car formation, a spear formation, a shield formation, a strong crossbow formation, a hob knife hand, etc., and the cavalry guards the left and right wings. ”

"But now we don't have a choice. The Jin army of 70,000 people coerced Bianliang, and although there were 200,000 defenders in the city, all of them were local chickens and dogs. Several times the Jin army attacked the city wall, and the city was almost broken. I'm surprised, the Bianliang moat is more than ten zhang, the city wall is more than ten zhang, the thickness of the city wall can take two carriages side by side, such a dangerous city, it is actually like this, the waste is not waste, but such a waste is actually in a high position. ”

The seed master scolded resentfully, "The situation in Bianliang is extremely dangerous now, and the people in the city are panicking. If we go late, the official family may not be able to withstand the pressure and sign an alliance under the city, or even break the city of Bianliang, then we will be sinners. We don't have much time left. We took the initiative to attack and enter Bianliang, which might attract heavy siege and death by the Jin army, and we suffered heavy losses, or even the total annihilation of the army, but we had no choice. As long as we get to the city, hope will be born in the hearts of the people of Bianliang; As long as a soldier enters Bianliang, the hearts of the officials will be more stable. ”

"What Bianliang lacks is not the army of King Qin, but the confidence to defeat the enemy. Entering Bianliang did not bring reinforcements, but to boost morale and stabilize the morale of the army. ”

Just like a tourist walking in the desert, the scorching sun is terrible, but even more terrifying than the scorching sun is the despair of not seeing the oasis.

Today's Bianliang, there are actually not a lot of soldiers and horses, relying on the strong city of Bianliang, the backward siege technology of the Jin army, it is difficult to break through Bianliang, but Bianliang is almost missed several times. All this is because the 200,000 defenders are already frightened grass chickens. Now the best way to restore the confidence of those 200,000 defenders is to win the battle, and the reinforcements will arrive in time for the next time.

"The Jin army has 70,000 people, and half of it can be dispatched to snipe our army, that is, it can be dispatched to 30,000 Jin troops to stop our army. At that time, the strength of the enemy and us was equal, the Jin army was mostly cavalry, and our army was mainly infantry, and the battle on the plains was very unfavorable to our army. It would be nice to be able to get half of them in at the end! The seed master analyzed, his eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't bear it, "Brother, do you really want to do this?" ”

"These 30,000 military horses are all relatives of the breeder and the township party, and they can be said to be the lineage, the closest and the most loyal. The planters have settled in the northwest, and it all depends on them. As long as there are military horses in hand, even the official family does not dare to be too embarrassed to grow a family. But if you insist on entering Bianliang, you will inevitably confront the Jin army, and it would be good to survive half of it at that time, is it worth it? ”

"Is it worth it?" "We don't have a choice. Once Bianliang fell, the royal family fell into barbarianism, and then my Great Song Dynasty died. Without the restraint of the imperial family, the land of the Central Plains will inevitably fall into fragmentation. At that time, the various feudal towns would be divided one after another, dominate one side, and fight for each other, and the tragedy of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms will be repeated again. There is an invasion of the Jin army outside, and our Central Plains can be described as full of beacons, and at that time, thousands of Han people will become slaves of gold thieves......"

I didn't dare to think about it, I didn't dare to think about it, that scene was too scary.

"I'm over seventy years old, even if I die on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud, there's no pity!"

"Brother......" Seed Master unconsciously shed tears on his face. It is a fool to know that you can't do it; Knowing the road to death, but still going there, this is a madman. But for the sake of righteousness, for the lives of tens of millions of people in the Central Plains, what is counted.

Pulling out the camp and raising the village, the 30,000 troops marched towards Bianliang with tragedy and heroism.

………

Along the way, he was very afraid, and in the face of the tiger-wolf-like Jin Army, no one was not afraid.

In order to alleviate the fear in his heart, he had to talk with the traitor Zhang Bangchang, the nonsense talk of Tiannan and Haibei, the analysis of the current situation, the changes in officialdom, and the poetry and songs. The more he talked, the more he was amazed, if he didn't know the history of later generations, Zhao Pu would definitely think that he was a generation of virtuous ministers.

I don't see the characteristics of the traitor at all, and in the conversation, I will only be fascinated by his rich knowledge and fall into deep thought.

"It seems that it is not easy to be a traitor. It can be said that he has a wrong outlook, it can be said that he flatters Shangguan, and it can be said that he has no bottom line in morality, but I have to admit that he is knowledgeable, sophisticated, and accurate in his analysis of the court situation. ”

During the conversation, Zhao Pu defined this traitorous minister.

"Lord Wang, Jinying has arrived!" At this time, beside the carriage, a guard said loudly, and in a high voice, he was not full of energy, and seemed to be a little timid.

"It's finally here!" With a nervous mind, Zhao Pu got out of the car, followed by Zhang Bangchang.

The Jin military camp is close at hand, with rough faces, different braids, cold weapons, and battle flags floating in the air, all of which show Xiao Killing.

Is this the Golden Army?

Zhao Pu's eyes hurt a little.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wanyan Aguta rose between the white mountains and black waters, fought fiercely against the Liao State, swept away the Northern Song Dynasty, and achieved the prestige of the Jurchens who were not satisfied with 10,000 and were invincible.

And five hundred years later, in the land of Liaodong, ** Hachi led the Jurchens to rise again, with twelve pairs of armor to raise troops, Salxu fought a battle, but won the initiative in Liaodong and established Houjin. His descendants took the opportunity of the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty to enter the Shanhaiguan Pass, sweep away the rebels, establish the Qing Dynasty in the troubled times, and dominate this land for 300 years.

The Jurchens are less than 10,000, and they are invincible.

It seems to be a myth, a myth that is hard to break.

No one broke the myth that the Jin army was undefeated, and only fifteen years later the great victory in Yuncheng and the myth of the Jin army's invincibility were shattered. Before, the north and south of the river, Henan and Hebei, were all invincible. Those who surrendered, such as Guo Yaoshi and others, were the majority; Those who abandoned the city, such as Zhao Mingcheng and others, were also the majority; And like Liu Qi, there are almost a few who dare to stick to Shunchang. Everywhere the Jin army went, everyone was terrified, either abandoning the city and fleeing, or surrendering the city. The courage to fight is almost rare.

"The prince has arrived!"

"Have you arrived?"

There was no chance for him to come forward, so Zhang Bangchang took the lead and stepped forward to negotiate with the envoy of the Jin army. No one cared about him as a hostage, nor did they care about his role as the prince of the Great Song Dynasty.

The envoys of the Jin army paid attention to the gold and silver and horses promised by the Song Dynasty in the peace treaty between the Jin and Song dynasties, as well as a large amount of mortgaged cloth finances, etc., as well as the clause in the national letter of land cession. As for a prime minister and a prince, they are just piggybacking on goods.

"Honorable envoy, we have promised all the promises in the treaty, and the carriage is carrying gold and silver, etc., and we ask for inspection......" At this time, Zhang Bangchang no longer regained his elegance and calmness just now, became extremely obscene, and became a villain who slipped his beard and slapped horses. The words were full of flattery, as if this Jin army envoy was his grandfather, and Zhang Bangchang also gave full play to the potential of a traitor, and he spoke in a low voice, without any dignity at all, and seemed to have transformed into a pug.

"Your country's speed is so slow, it was three days late, and I thought I was going to break the contract. I was about to persuade my marshal to attack Bianliang and fall into the sun! The envoy of the Jin army who greeted him was extremely arrogant, and his head was raised very high, as if he wanted to have eyes on the top of his head.

After talking for a long time, the envoy of the Jin army arrogantly accepted the gift.

And this envoy of the Jin army is a Han Chinese, speaking with a Bianliang accent, but he is a lackey of the Jin army.

Looking at all this, Zhao Pu's heart was full of anger, but he had to endure it. It was hard, but it had to be endured. He is not Zhao Yun, it is difficult to enter and exit seven times in thousands of troops; It's not an immortal, and when you blow a breath, all 100,000 heroes will be wiped out. He's just a mortal who has a head off and will die. Impulsiveness will not help, it will only leave Jin Jun with an excuse to make things difficult.

PS: Time is limited, so I'll change it today. I'm sorry!
