Chapter 379: Han Shizhong is in action
Not long after Yue Yun led the army to leave, the cavalry of the 1,000 Jin Army chased and killed, but all they saw were corpses, only ashes, and only misery.
The Jin army was furious and chased away, but found that there were three ways for the Song army to retreat, and it was difficult to determine where the Song army was evacuating for a while. can only rely on Meng, chase and kill at will. The result was a pounce.
And the same scene is also being staged in other parts of eastern Liaodong. The Song army first attacked the village, set fire to the people, and then ran away. And when he ran away, he cleverly disguised himself, making it difficult for Jin Jun to justify the direction of evacuation for a while.
In the retreat, the Song army happened to design a trap to ambush and shoot the Jin army.
There is a taste of rogue warfare.
The Liaodong landing operation also adhered to the principle of the Liukou operation, which was also one of the strategies of the Song army's Liaodong landing operation.
Despite Zhao Pu's efforts, in fact, the Song army's combat power was lower than that of the Jin army, not only because of the advantage of cavalry over infantry, but also because of the advantage of barbarian nations over civilized peoples. The same number of Song troops, fierce battles against the same number of Jin troops, the odds of victory are less than three layers.
If it can't be fought, it can only be a guerrilla war; If you can't fight it, you can only take a sports war.
Guerrilla warfare and movement warfare were originally peasant warfare methods, and they were the operational principles of Huang Chao, Li Zicheng and his ilk. The most typical characteristic is that if you can win, you will fight, if you can't win, you will leave, you will keep running away, there is no logistics, and wherever you fight, there is logistics.
And the mode of warfare is not to destroy the enemy, but to constantly destroy and set fires, resulting in the exhaustion of the national potential, and the lack of money and soldiers to fight. After the collapse of the regime. Historically, this way of fighting has worn down one dynasty after another.
And the Song army that landed this time. The number is just over 10,000, and if you fight a conference battle, you may be exhausted twice in a row. However, the containment of the Jin army was limited, so it spread out and carried out rogue operations.
And the rogue fights, the principle is only one fast!
Attack quickly, evacuate quickly. Run fast.
A quick offensive to end the battle before the arrival of reinforcements from the Jin army; Evacuate quickly. If you don't give Jin Jun a chance to bite, even if you are bitten, you can quickly break your tail and survive; To run fast, you must not only be good at horseback riding. You should also be good at running mountain roads. Cross the river and make the Jin army tired, so as to create a chance to win.
Under certain favorable conditions, the scattered Song army quickly gathered together to fight a war of annihilation.
The way of fighting is changing drastically, and in the past, the Song army brigade dispatched soldiers and horses to exterminate the Liukou; At this time, Song Jun was incarnated as a rogue. Suffered from the encirclement and suppression of the Jin army.
At the beginning of the battle, there was nothing, but gradually the battle became fierce.
Defeat the weak with the strong. is normal; Defeating the strong with the weak is a special case. If you want to defeat the strong with the weak, you have to pay an unimaginable price, the continuous battles of the Song army that landed, in addition to the combat attrition, there is also the climate is not adaptable, the soldiers living in the south, suddenly to the northeast, only feel cold panic, a lot of colds.
Fortunately, this situation was expected before entering the war, and the drinking of various home-made herbs led to a decrease in the disease rate and failed to affect the overall combat effectiveness.
As the battle progressed, some villages in the Jin Kingdom quickly gathered together and strengthened their defenses, resulting in a lower and lower success rate of the attack.
After all, the population of the Northeast at this time was less than two million, and the population was sparse. Although this is not conducive to production and development, it is the most conducive to marching and fighting, and can effectively unite the people's strength into military strength.
In order to pursue speed, the Song army did not carry siege equipment, but only monotonous with gunpowder as the main offensive method.
The Jin army also took the village as the center and the cavalry as the extension, constantly compressing the living space of the Song army, increasing the number of defeats, and returning again and again in vain. On several occasions, due to the slower speed of evacuation, he was bitten by the Jin army and suffered a big loss.
However, the results were also remarkable.
Jin Guo, after all, is not the Song Dynasty, and the blood recovery speed is too slow.
The Song Dynasty had a great cause, and there was civil governance, and the post-war reconstruction speed was fast, and it only took one or two years to relieve the trauma of the muscles and bones, and even prepared enough grain and grass materials for the Northern Expedition; However, most of the Jin army was mainly engaged in looting, although they were also engaged in animal husbandry and agricultural production, but the level of production was very low, and the recovery speed from the war wounds was extremely slow.
This time, just one month of sweeping, the hinterland of the Jin army was scattered and in disarray, and the national economy suffered a heavy blow; And the most terrifying thing is that Liaodong is the hinterland of the Jin army, and the attack here also affects the morale of the front-line soldiers.
…………
The wild Northeast Great Plain has not been developed at this time, except for a few areas, most of them are primeval forests, primeval mountains, and primeval grasslands, which are extremely conducive to the hiding of the army!
In a primeval forest, there were 5,000 Song troops, silent, as long as they did not get close to observe, they would not notice the existence of the Song army at all.
At this time, the whole army was cooking on a fire, using a smokeless stove for the march.
In the past, the Song army mostly fought in large corps, and there was no need for smokeless stoves at all, because the strong enemy could not be defeated, and the weak enemy could not catch up, and there was no need to fight field battles, and most of them took fire in the open to cook.
However, with the development of the Song army's field warfare, especially the beginning of the landing in Liaodong, concealment became extremely important, so there was a smokeless stove for marching.
Dig a big pit first, then dig a small pit at a distance of more than ten centimeters, then penetrate the two holes from the bottom, pile the excavated soil around the mouth of the big pit, pat it to enhance its lightproofness, extend and dig three flues in the direction of the small pit opening, the flue is more than ten centimeters deep, two or three meters long, and then put the helmet at the mouth of the small pit and fill the edge with soil, cover it with branches, wheat stalks and other things above the flue, cover it with soil, hide the flue according to the method of dense and sparse on the edge of the pot, put the ignition into the small pit from the bottom of the big pit, add firewood, Cook.
The marching smokeless stove is not really smokeless, but the smoke from the flue is relatively hidden, and it is not easy to be found.
With the advent of smokeless stoves, the concealment of the Song army has improved a lot, and the odds of victory have improved a lot.
At this time, drinking the broth, Han Shizhong's mind was heavy, and he stood thinking about the next step to fight.
"Three months, at least three months, only three months, the situation will change greatly! Just can it really last for three months? ”
Thinking back on the experience of these days, Han Shizhong had a sense of fear, dancing on the tip of the knife again and again, and almost bumping into Jin Jun many times, but he still passed by after the worst, and narrowly avoided the catastrophe again and again.
In addition to being frightened, Han Shizhong rose up with admiration.
Preparing for a rainy day is easier said than done!
And His Majesty the Emperor began this kind of training a year ago, specializing in training rogues in combat, training in concealment, and training in attacking villages, which can be regarded as exercises and preliminary examinations. Because of these foreshadowings, such great achievements can be achieved in the current landing operation in Liaodong.
It's just that this is not enough, at this time, Jin Guo is a little broken, but it is far from shaking the whole country.
Only by shaking the whole country of Jin and panicking at the top can we better encircle Wei and save Zhao, and better respond to the front-line operations.
At this moment, the situation on the front line is unfavorable, once the Northern Expedition is defeated, it is beaten by the Jin army to the Yangtze River, and it is under the city of Xiangyang, even if it does not cross the river, it is enough to make the Song Dynasty panic.
In this battle, the breakthrough was in Liaodong, followed by Qingzhou.
For the victory of this battle, even if this 10,000-strong army is all buried in Liaodong, it is worth it.
"Marshal Han, the Jin army has been dispatched, and a road of soldiers and horses has approached, less than thirty miles away from here, it seems to be called...... Wan Yan Kang seems to be the imperial grandson of the Jin Kingdom! At this time, a scout soldier appeared and reported the latest military situation to Han Shizhong.
"Wan Yan Yan, the emperor's grandson, it's you!" Han Shizhong's eyes flashed blood, and his expression was a little hideous, "If you kill the imperial grandson of the Jin Kingdom in this battle, it will be a great achievement." Even if I die here, it's worth it! ”
"At that time, the whole country was shaken, I don't believe it, the whole country can endure the nest being ended, and still fight on the front line with peace of mind!"
Han Shizhong opened the sketch and observed it carefully.
This part of the Northeast is unfamiliar to the Song Army. Before the expedition, there was no map to use at all. This map was improvised, after the Song army arrived in the northeast, and the graphics are somewhat rudimentary, and many areas are still blurred.
"I'm going to check it out for myself, the map is too rudimentary!" Han Shizhong looked at the map and decided to go to the front line to check it out in person.
Fighting a war just by relying on such a rudimentary map is like committing suicide. (To be continued......)

Later the second update.
I fell into the card again, mainly because I wanted to write that kind of passion, that kind of heat, but when I put down the pen, I felt that my level was limited, and it was difficult to write that wonderful moment.
