Jinglu Guanshan (7)
There is no moon tonight.
In the camp of the Song army, which was hidden in the night, the drums suddenly sounded, and the drums rolled through the starry sky like thunder. In the camp, flags were unfurled, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
A small group of cavalrymen armed with torches, under the cover of the large infantry formation behind them, rushed forward and galloped in front of the Jin army camp. The general who led the team gave an order, and countless rockets with pointed heads and nodded vigorously into the golden camp, wooden fences, and tents, and they were on fire.
Under the firelight, countless Jurchens, Khitans, and Han Chinese, first dodged everywhere, but under the reprimand of the generals, they extinguished the scattered sparks.
Several Jurchen Wanhu who were alarmed began to curse loudly, gathered troops and horses, and prepared to open a camp to attack.
It's just that when the Jurchen cavalry was assembled and the armor was ready to come out, the Song cavalry of the brigade had begun to slowly retreat, and when the Jurchens arrived at the camp gate, the Song cavalry had quickly retreated to the front of their own infantry formation, spreading out their wings, and guarding the infantry by the light of the camp.
The infantry had already lined up neatly and began to march forward slowly, with swordsmen, spearmen, and gunners in front, and the crossbowmen of the brigade behind, spears and spears like a forest, and the arrows emitted a cold light, facing the enemy cavalry who had just woken up from their sleep and stared at in a daze.
"U-U-U ......"
The horn sounded in the golden camp, and the cavalry of the brigade was recalled as soon as they rushed out of the camp gate.
"Ahem, what kind of battle is this!"
Wanhu Chizhan Hui, who led the team, slapped his leg, spat fiercely at the Song army's formation, and then turned his horse's head and rushed back to the camp first.
These days, the Song army took advantage of the numerical advantage, divided into several teams, and harassed the Jin camp day and night. Fighting during the day, attacking at night, and at noon the Jin soldiers were very tired and wanted to rest, but the Song army beat the drums vigorously, stirring everyone who did not dare to slack off, and they had to open their eyes when they slept.
After more than ten days, although the Song army was also very tired, after all, the number of people was nearly twice that of the other party, and they were divided into several teams to rest in shifts, but they were much stronger than the Jin soldiers.
Wanyan Zongfu couldn't bear it, and sent people to the Song camp to cast a war letter, to make an appointment with the Song army for a decisive battle.
Zhang Jun and the others wanted to agree, but they all said: "How can you fall into your majesty?" Morale can be boosted but not discharged, when the enemy is in a position, the victory or defeat is a duel, and you can't be cowardly! ”
Shen Tuo said: "Whoever wants to agree, send whoever out of the camp to fight the enemy alone, the dignified Song Wenchen general, how can he not be the king's precursor?" Ladies and gentlemen, are there any cowardices? ”
This is clearly unreasonable, but Zhang Jun and the others can't think about it, so they have to arrange things for the audience Shen Tuo. As for Qu Duan and the others, they completely agreed with Shen Tuo's tone, and used the crowd to defeat the outnumbered, so that the arrangement was to maximize the effectiveness of the large number of people.
In this way, no matter how Jin Bing invited him to fight, Song Jun just ignored it. Anyway, the battalion was endless, supplies were constantly being sent, and the two sides were deadlocked, but the Song army was not afraid.
However, the Jin soldiers were different from the Song army, they still maintained the habits of the barbarians, and adopted the method of providing food for the enemy.
To put it simply, it's a robbery.
There is no logistics in the real sense, and the military supplies needed are just to knock down and grab where to grab. Anyway, the Song Kingdom has been prosperous for more than 100 years, and it is the national policy of hiding the wealth of the people, and the wealth of the people of the Song Dynasty has made the eyes of these Jurchens from the white mountains and black waters red.
Grab it, grab it!
Grab from Yanyun to the Central Plains, and grab from the Central Plains to Jiangnan. The Jin soldiers plundered all the way, not only did not weaken due to the war, but greatly increased their strength, stimulated the appetite of all Jurchen tribes, and also made more and more Jurchen people willing to join the army.
It's just that when I got here, I was in a predicament. Shaanxi was originally a barren region of the Song Dynasty, and the many years of war and heavy taxes in the Western Xia, coupled with the destruction of the natural environment, all kinds of factors combined, making Shaanxi Liulu much poorer than the Central Plains Jiangnan.
At this time, it is even worse, after many years of war and destruction, the people are scattered and fled, and the Jin soldiers can still grab some grain and grass when they first arrive, but after a few months, they have already made the people under the rule of the whole country miserable, and the people can not survive, how can there be extra grain and grass for them to rob?
Shen Tuo saw this, the two armies were holding each other, relying on Sichuan and Jingxiang, and the Song army, which had sufficient logistics and supplies, naturally had a greater advantage, in this case, why should he be in a hurry to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army?
Chi Zhanhui returned to the camp, thinking about it in his heart, but he only vaguely felt that it was not a problem.
The Jurchens have an upright personality, and it is difficult to endure it when they think of it. He immediately took off his heavy armor, changed his robe, and immediately came to Wanyan Zongfu's handsome tent.
When he arrived outside the tent, he saw that the lights were bright inside, and the figures were building, showing that there were many generals of ten thousand households who had the same thoughts as him, and they all came to the Zongfu tent to listen to the way to break the enemy.
At this time, the Jurchens did not pay much attention to respect and humility, and when Chizhan Hui arrived in the tent, he saw that it was a room full of people, and he was talking to himself, so he did not speak at first, only nodded slightly to everyone in the tent, and sat down.
Beside him are Han Chang and Wang Bolong, who are thousands of households in the Han army, and Chi Zhanhui is mixed in the middle of these two people, and the boss is uncomfortable.
Unlike the Jurchen aristocracy who attached importance to Han generals, many Jurchen generals who were brave and good at fighting despised the Han army from the bottom of their hearts and never believed in the combat power of the Han army.
But after listening to Yan Sali and said: "These Song barbarians don't fight, and they don't retreat. There are so many people that we don't dare to divide our troops, so it's not a matter for this stalemate to continue. ”
Wanyan Zongfu also looked gloomy, and asked him: "You have been talking for a long time, I know what kind of grain and grass, morale, etc." So now I ask you, what to do with your opinion? ”
"In my opinion, this land of Shaanxi is far less rich than the Central Plains and Jiangnan, and the Song army in the south can't fight, so why bother to work here? It is better to leave tens of thousands of soldiers to guard Chang'an and other places, let's go east and west and go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and capture Zhao Gouna. ”
Before the words fell, the rest of the Jurchen households in the tent said together: "How can this be done, since we defeated Da Liao, destroyed the Song Dynasty and entered Tokyo, we have not yet suffered defeat." If we are going to retire at this time, won't it make the world laugh, who will be afraid of us in the future? ”
Chi Zhanhui also said: "That's it, as soon as we retreat, how can Chang'an and other places stay?" The Song people are not good at field warfare, they are good at defending and attacking the city, there are so many Song soldiers here, as soon as we retreat, Guan Shaanxi will definitely be collected by them, in this way, and then connect with the Central Plains, the future battle will be much more difficult to fight. ”
Some people even sneered: "You have to be a crying gentleman, but don't stir us in." ”
"Haha!"
For a while, there was thunder of joy in the tent, and everyone was smiling and looking weird, looking at Sali and drinking together.
Sali drank the purple skin of the drink, and said angrily: "I lost my temper that day, and you want to laugh at me for the rest of your life?" ”
This crying Langjun has an allusion. On the same day, Sali led the troops into Guanshaan, and met the Song army Wu Jue's department, the two armies fought, Wu Jue's elite dared to fight, and the troops were strictly organized, and the Sa Li drank the vanguard was defeated, and he was able to attack him.
Although this Sali drink is brave, he has never encountered such a dangerous situation. So while flying and fleeing for his life, he couldn't help but snot and tears came down together, and he was seen clearly.
Later, this person felt that he was a great shame, and immediately raised troops to take revenge, and finally defeated Wu Jue.
Seeing that he was too embarrassed, Wanyan Zongfu coughed continuously and suppressed everyone's words.
There was silence in the field for a while, laughing and laughing, how to break the deadlock in front of them, but everyone had no way at all.
After half a ring, Zong Fu said to Zong Bi: "What do you think?" ”
His two brothers, if you talk about the ability to lead troops, Zongfu is under Zongbi. If you talk about age and prestige, Zong Bi is not as good as Zong Fu at this time, it is based on Zong Fu and Zong Bi as the auxiliary.
And this time to rejuvenate the army, the elite soldiers and iron cavalry are mostly under Zong Bi, and they are fighting and defending the plan, in fact, Zong Bi's opinion is the most important.
Zong Bi was muffled for a while, and Fang said: "I thought that the Song people had a lot of soldiers, and they were in a hurry to fight with us, so it was better to wait for work and let them attack." Now that it's been delayed for so many days, they are actually not fighting, but we really can't afford to drag it out. He said lightly: "Since they don't come, let's go." ”
Zong Fu said worriedly: "When we Jurchen fight, we have always been flying with two wings and attacking together. The left wing of the Song Dynasty is strong, but the right wing relies on the geographical advantage, if it is only attacked from one side, the position cannot be unleashed, I am afraid that it is a victory, and it is also a tragic victory. ”
Zong Bi hadn't answered yet, but Wan Yan Lou Room spoke first and replied with a smile: "I'm also worried about this, so I haven't had anything to say for many days." Yesterday I looked at the terrain with the deputy marshal, but I found a magic way to break the enemy's right flank. ”
"Oh?"
Sosuke's spirits were lifted and he said happily: "Since you said okay, then you must be okay!" ”
Wanyan Lou Room was the most rare wisdom general of the Jin people at that time, whether it was the overall strategy or the details of the battlefield, he was one of the best figures, these days he was just silent, everyone said that he couldn't think about it, at this time this person actually said that there was a way, for a time everyone was overjoyed, and they all felt that there was hope for breaking the enemy.
