Chapter 961: The Liberation of Bazhou (Plus Update)

Under such an ending, hit?

It's a fart.

The generals did not want to fight, and neither did the soldiers, and after the military order was issued, a very depressing atmosphere arose in the army. And when the time passed day by day, after the dragon army finally drove over, the first city to be attacked, Bazhou, had a problem first.

As one of the important cities in the north of the Zhao and Song dynasties, Bazhou arranged for 20,000 troops to defend the city here, and there was also a Xin'an army on its side, in case it could be supported when the war was unfavorable.

In short, Wang Xin's request is that every city has become a nail, so that the dragon army will have a headache. He wanted to see how long it would take to pull out the nails, how many people would have to die, and how much food and grass would have to be spent.

The Northern Army can raise food on the spot, and the Dragon Army is far away, just the logistics part, presumably enough for the other party to drink a pot.

If it is according to Wang Xin's idea, even if the Dragon Army wants to capture the entire northern territory, it will not be able to do it in a few years, and then the situation may change, and the northern territory may be defended. It's just that what he never expected was that when the dragon army really came to the city of Bazhou, it didn't fire a single arrow, and the city actually took the initiative to fall.

"What? 20,000 troops surrendered under the threat of the people in the city? How is this possible, what about the knives and guns in their hands, the people will stop them, they will not arrest people, they will not kill people?" When the scout brought the latest war report to Wang Xin, he didn't believe it at first, and then roared loudly.

As a general in the north, Wang Xin knew that some of the troops below were war-weary, but so what?

Even if he becomes a soldier, not everyone likes to fight, so he can't force everyone to become an elite and a capable division, Wang Xin has long been mentally prepared for this.

However, he didn't do anything, so he handed over Bazhou, but this result was not something Wang Xin could bear.

No matter what, you have to fight, even if you surrender after three or five days, he can understand. But like now, as soon as the dragon army arrived at the city, it surrendered immediately, and its speed was so fast that Zhao Song's soldiers were about to become special ones to open the gate, which was really incomprehensible.

But no matter how angry he was, Bazhou was really lost, and the battle report showed that after the dragon army entered the city, it quickly sent an army straight to the direction of the Xin'an army in the east.

The Xin'an Army garrison also has 20,000 Northern Army, and 20,000 have been lost, and 20,000 cannot be lost. "Quick, immediately send an order to the Baoding army in the south to go to support. This time, I don't want to hold there, just bring the Xin'an Army out, quickly."

Wang Xin regretted it a little, if he had known that this was the case, he should have transferred the Xin'an army out in advance, so that even if Bazhou was lost, the loss would not be so great.

When the order was given, Wang Xin waited for the news with some anxiety. But then that night, new news came back from the front that 20,000 Xin'an troops had been recruited by the Dragon Army.

Speaking of which, the Xin'an army did not surrender as quickly as the Bazhou soldiers, and became the gatekeepers of others. They were ready to resist. But as soon as the dragon cannon of the dragon army rang out, after falling around their military camp, the war horses galloped, and the morale of the army also dropped to the lowest point in an instant.

The power of the dragon cannon was so strong that they felt extremely hostile.

Originally, the morale of the army was a little unstable, and after such a bombardment by the dragon artillery, that little bit of desire to fight was also gone. And it was at this time that the envoy sent by the dragon army came to persuade him to surrender, followed by 20,000 Xin'an troops, and after hesitating for half an hour, the barracks were opened, and everyone laid down their weapons.

Looking at this latest battle report, Wang Xin's heart was dripping blood.

It's 20,000 Northern Army again, or is it more elite, at least the Xin'an Army that can fight, so it just took half an hour to think about it and surrendered?

What the hell do they think, do they know that they are Zhao Song's soldiers? Are they worthy of the name Northern Army?

I was very puzzled, but something had happened, no matter whether I understood it or not, what happened had become irreversible.

"General, this won't work. If every city is like this, although our northern border is large, although there are many cities, but it will not last long, once King Pu asks for responsibility, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to eat and walk around." Li Kesheng stepped forward and reminded in a low voice.

"What can you do?" Of course, Wang Xin knew that it would not work like this, but he really didn't have any tricks now.

"Two points, first, the army changes its defense, so that the people in the city and our defenders are not familiar with each other, and if they want to surrender, the army will not have too many worries about stopping the people."

"Second, send an inspection team, if you find that someone has the intention of surrendering, you can cut it first and then play it, you can kill a hundred people, and dispel the idea that some people dare not fight."

Li Kesheng opened his mouth and proposed two strategies that he came up with. Wang Xin, who listened directly, kept nodding, "Okay, this method is good, then go and do it immediately?"

If it was peacetime, such a thing as the army changing guards, Wang Xin would not do it easily. Changing the guard is equivalent to changing a new environment, and the soldiers also need to adapt, and before they fully adapt, they will start a big war, which is not good for the war situation.

But now, Wang Xin can't care about that much. Look at Bazhou, isn't it because the soldiers guarding here are all the children of the people of Bazhou, so when the people asked for the surrender of Kaicheng, in the face of all their relatives, the 20,000 soldiers were quite scruples, so there was a matter of sacrificing the city.

If it were replaced by other armies to defend the city, the people and the soldiers would not have any contact with each other, and they would not know each other.

Are you looking to see if the soldiers will allow the people to open the gates?

"Change the guard immediately, and leave this matter to General Li." Wang Xin said anxiously like a person who was in a hurry to seek medical treatment.

After Li Kesheng got the order, he turned around and went to make arrangements. It's just that time is pressing, for example, Xiongzhou City, Rongcheng and Guishun City, which are closer to Bazhou, have no time to do these things, so they can only start from the city behind them.

The change of defense is to cut off the intimate connection between the army and the people, and to hold the city without scruples, but whether it is Li Kesheng or Wang Xin, they have forgotten the important one, that is, will the army defending the city agree to do this?

Just like Bazhou City, the children who defend the city are the families and children of the people in the city, and they climbed the city tower to protect their families and defend the country. But now, they were asked to leave their city and go to a strange city.

That would be equivalent to asking him to give up his family, can the soldier be willing?

Guarding the city tower by himself, he can communicate with his family, and he will be prosperous and lossy. To put it mildly, when things cannot be violated, you can still die with your relatives. But what will be the result of this change of guard?

For example, how will the other northern armies treat their relatives after they enter the city?

Will they beat and scold at every turn, and even kill people for some money?

I became a northern army, but other northern soldiers robbed my family's property, and even directly killed my relatives, so what else should this northern army do?

As soon as this idea came out, the so-called change of guard could only stay in words, and not a single army agreed to change the guard after accepting the order, and all of them did not move, ignoring the military order.

The order was issued, but no one carried it out, which made Li Kesheng angry.

He knew that the time he had come to the Northern Army was still a little short, and perhaps he didn't have that appeal, so he had no choice but to report the situation to General Wang Xin.

"Are these people still against them? Don't you know that military orders are like mountains and need to be obeyed unconditionally? In this way, didn't you send out an inspection team? If anyone dares to disobey the order to change the guard, they will be arrested, and those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot. Hmph!"

Wang Xin is also very displeased, usually don't listen to the greeting, forget it, now that the dragon army has been killed, the enemy still doesn't listen to the greeting at the moment, then don't blame him for not being emotional. He wanted to see if the others would dare to disobey after he had killed a few of the leaders.

With strong pressure, this is the method that Wang Xin and Li Kesheng came up with.

They think that their ideas are good and their solutions are feasible, but they forget that human beings are rebellious.

When there is a problem, the way to figure out is how to untie this knot and do the ideological work. This is especially true when it comes to issues of life and death, such as going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Forcing everyone to do something by strong means is tantamount to forcing everyone to die, who will agree, it's no wonder if there is no problem.

The various inspection teams that have been dispatched have received new military orders halfway through.

When they saw that they had the power of life and death over the city they were going to, everyone in the inspection team became excited.

It's a wonderful feeling to be able to control the life and death of others. Especially now that it is wartime, it is nothing to kill someone, and the members of these inspection teams are excited, constantly stepping up their journey and running to various target cities.

Bazhou was liberated, and the entire city was full of vitality that was completely different from before.

After taking the place without blood, truckloads of supplies entered the city, and then passed into the hands of the people and the soldiers of the defending army according to human hair.

But all the people in Bazhou City, as long as they have Han nationality, everyone can get three meals a day for the next 15 days, including white rice, white noodles and meat.

This is meat, for the people of the Northland who have been living in the north and often live in the flames of war, meat has not been seen for many days, or even years. Even during the Chinese New Year every year, most people are reluctant to eat meat once.

"S: Thank you lxiaoj111 for your reward to the Great Song Dynasty, and I will add six more, this is the fourth chapter."
