Chapter 51: The Essence of the Protracted War

All in all, Lu Zhaoyang felt that the Jin people's combat power was still there, but the firepower of the siege equipment was insufficient.

For the sake of today, it is to garrison the troops and not move.

Build a huge number of armies.

When the time comes, breaking through Bianliang is like taking something in a bag.

At the same time, Jin Jun also took advantage of the short window to rest.

Lu Zhaoyang came back to his senses.

The ability to analyze the situation is indeed possible.

And his words also aroused the empathy of everyone present.

It is indeed not appropriate for the Jin army to attack in a hurry.

The Jin army, led by the great general Sticky Han, wanted to fight a quick battle and quickly destroy the Song Dynasty.

According to the previous combat strength of the Song army, this blitzkrieg wish could be realized.

And sticky Han's tactics can also be theoretically tenable.

After all, what sticky Han was concerned about was the transportation of military salaries in the rear.

They now consume 10,000 quintals of grain a day.

It's winter again.

It was snowing heavily in most places in the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty.

Thus food became the lifeblood of the army.

Military supplies that are more expensive than real money.

At this time, even if they want to go south to grab food.

It is also impossible to achieve.

Because after Song Huizong took his team south, he took a large number of Song ministers and their subordinate people with him.

In order to completely cut off future troubles.

and even re-establish a regime in Gangnam.

Therefore, Song Huizong went south with the front foot, and the back foot came to a strong wall in the south.

Gather all the resources you can eat.

Therefore, the south has a mild climate and there is no grain to harvest.

And if the astonishing army wants to follow Lu Zhaoyang's strategy, continue to spend siege here, and take the opportunity to make siege equipment to attack the city on a large scale.

It will take at least a month.

This means that the Jin people must be prepared to starve for a month.

If you don't want to starve to death, you have to plan three months' worth of food and grass.

Because the rotation and retreat of the army need to be satisfied.

As for the hope that after breaking through Bianliang City, the money and grain in the city will be looted?

That's really thinking too much.

Today's commanders of the Jin Army have seen it clearly.

The soldiers and civilians of Bianliang City are united in their hearts, and they regard death as home.

Even if the city is breached, it will be the end of the fish and the net.

The Jin army was lucky to win, and it was absolutely impossible for the Song people to leave a grain of grain.

They will only burn the granary.

All in all, the current capital of the Great Song Dynasty is not what it used to be.

Therefore, no matter what, Mu Han and Wanyan Zongwang can't get around the difficulty of grain and grass.

In fact, the world was stunned by the momentum of the Jin army's gallop.

But after calming down, you will find that Jin Jun is the real lust and inward, acting for the tiger.

Because the early war between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State was basically the Jin army.

But there is no one-sided advantage in a war that can be really touched.

Just as now, the Jin people besieged Bianliang.

It seems that the wind and fire reach the heart of the Great Song Dynasty.

But they are alone in the end.

Because the Jin people did not conquer the Song army in Hebei and Yanmen Pass at all.

And Zhao Shuo, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, had long seen this.

The golden people are alone and deep, eager to win.

In addition to the pressure of grain and grass supply, there is also mental distress in the rush for quick success.

The most effective way to deal with the Jin people is to use several large armies to clamp down.

Then defend Bianliang City.

In the end, the Jin people were forced into a situation where there was no way out.

When the time comes, the exhausted Jin people will inevitably shake the morale of the army.

On the contrary, this is the main concern of Mu Han and Wanyan Zongwang who want to settle the war and urgently end this war.

However, the city defense of Bianliang City can be said to be the strongest in the same era.

The cavalry of the Jin people is useless here.

Their siege tactics were also slightly pale in front of the various siege equipment of the Great Song Dynasty.

Jin Ren, who was in a dilemma, could only wait in confusion for a while.

But I don't know how long I should wait.

All in all, the previous defeat made the generals of the Jin army calm down a lot.

In the end, Wanyan Zongwang said: "Now that our army has just been defeated, it is inevitable to take a rest. But how much time do you have to rest? Grain and grass are a problem today, but not fatal. ”

"You must know that the Western Route Army of the Song Dynasty is in full swing to attack our defense line. The 50,000 Jurchen elite iron horsemen have also lost more than 4,000 people so far. ”

"According to our sentry report, the troops on the Hebei and Shanxi sides of the Great Song River have been engaged in battle with the Khitan soldiers we left behind in Yanyun Mansion."

"Although we can still parry now, but if it drags on for a long time, then we will really have to return in vain."

Wan Yan Jingluo said: "I have a plan. ”

"What's the plan?"

"I think we should test the Song court again, and we will send envoys to pretend to release the idea of retiring the army."

"If we bring it up, the Song court will definitely send someone over to discuss specific matters."

"When the time comes, we're on our home turf, we're going to be able to handle it, aren't we?"

Wanyan Zongwang bowed slightly: "This is a good way, if Bianliang sends someone out, it just exposes their timidity." ”

"When the time comes, we won't have to open our mouths and ask for some money that will make up for our army."

"So as not to completely anger the Song people, and then the gains outweigh the losses."

When Wanyan Zongwang said such words, it meant that the Jin people had already begun to fear the defenders of Bianliang City in their bones.

Many of the generals in the Great Tent were silent.

But they looked at General Muhan on the side with uneasy eyes.

The Jin army returned in vain to conquer Bianliang City.

This is by no means a multiple-choice question for the military.

Rather, it involves the balance of power within the Kingdom of Jin and the struggle of members of the royal family.

Among them, the tough generals represented by Sticky Han were the Song Destroyer faction.

And it is a very powerful and murderous Song extermination faction.

Taiyuan City, which was once regarded as impregnable by the border army of the Great Song Dynasty, was down.

Thanks to the experience of attacking Taiyuan, Mu Han firmly believed that as long as he gave himself time, he could conquer Bianliang City.

However, Wanyan Zongwang, another general of the Jin army, took the opposite path from Mu Han.

He intended to intimidate and weaken the Great Song.

is similar to boiling frogs in warm water, slowly hollowing out the family foundation of the Song Dynasty.

Achieve the strategic expectation of gradual encroachment and steady progress.

Therefore, although Wanyan Zongwang went south, he did not break out a fierce war with the Song army along the way.

Mu Han and Wanyan Zongwang are politically hostile.

The strange thing is that now these two needle-to-wheat guys are all in one big tent.

This made the topic of whether the retreating army should continue to attack, and suddenly became sensitive.

Sticky Han is a humerus warrior who completes Yan Agu.

He is also the first minister of the auxiliary state.

It's just that the current Emperor of Jin has not fallen into the hands of Wanyan Zongwang, a son in law.

Even so, princelings like Zongwang have a pivotal position in the Golden Court.

The two sides are fighting openly and secretly, stumbling each other, and freezing three feet, which is not a day's cold.

Sticky Han naturally did not allow the army to retreat.

Especially when the troops were withdrawn without an inch of work.

Therefore, he immediately vetoed: "Half a month later, fight again, I look at the Bianliang city defense, we can build more hammer trucks to make a contribution." ”

"What if you still lose? What then? ”

As soon as Zong Wang's words came out, the smell of gunpowder in the tent became more and more intense.
