Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Battle of Qin and Song
Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Battle of Qin and Song: Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Battle of Qin and Song
In terms of grain and grass, Daqin was even more unbearable, with an army of 500,000 and only one month's grain in stock.
But this is also a helpless thing, although the north has improved over the years, but it is still in the process of restoration, and the newly acquired Shanxi and Hebei regions need funding, Cang Fei is not willing to stop supporting the people in order to conquer the Song Kingdom in the south, as for him to loot the people, it is naturally impossible.
Therefore, Tu Meng's army must break through Xiangyang City within a month and go south to the Song Kingdom to eat, otherwise, it will face the dilemma of running out of food.
If it was a Mongolian army, it would never take such a big risk, Xiangyang City is a well-known fortified city, and it has repeatedly blocked the Mongolian army from going south in history, let alone a month, even if it is a year, the Mongolian army is difficult to overcome.
But Cang Fei did so, there was no strong city in his eyes!
In the previous war in the Northland, he had already verified this, there was no city that could stop his personal force, what he was afraid of was only the overwhelming army that was not afraid of death, because even if he was strong, it would be extremely difficult to conquer an army alone.
After the Southern Song Dynasty knew about Daqin's actions, they had already begun to prepare to attack.
Don't look at the Song State being afraid of the northern nomads like tigers, and the Jurchens of the Jin State who occupied the Central Plains are subservient and subservient, and they don't dare to offend the Mongols, but they are extremely hostile to Daqin, who is also a Han regime, and they can't wait to swallow Daqin in one gulp.
Was the Southern Song Dynasty weak? Of course, this is not the case.
The south direction is rich, Suhu Lake is familiar with the world, this is not true, the grain and grass are sufficient, the weapons are excellent, and even the city is built steadily.
The Song army numbered even more than one million, much more than the previous Jin State and the Mongol army that invaded the Central Plains.
It seems that the Southern Song Dynasty should be very strong, why was it beaten by the Jin State and the Mongols before, and it had no temper at all?
The emperor was mediocre, corrupt officials were rampant, and he did not care about recovering the northern lands, and even the people only wanted stability and were unwilling to support the Northern Expedition.
Looking at the current Daqin, you can actually get a glimpse of one or two, the Central Plains and Guanzhong recovered earlier, but now life is not easy, why is this?
Because of the continuous war with the Mongols, a large number of soldiers died, not to mention the fact that after recovering the northern land, there was no harvest in the second half of the harvest, and the people of Guanzhong and the Central Plains had to help them.
When the man in the family dies, he has to take out the food and give it away, what is the reason? Only a fool will do it!
The people of Guanzhong and the Central Plains are not fools, if it weren't for the Mongol invasion of the south, they would definitely try their best to stop Cangfei's northern expedition.
And this time the southern expedition to the Song Kingdom was unanimously supported by the people of Daqin, the reason is naturally that the Southern Song Dynasty is located in the south of the Yangtze River, extremely rich, and is a fat sheep.
The Jin State has been in decline for many years, and the Mongols have not yet invaded the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty now has a lot of money and grain, if Daqin can destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, he will be able to get a large amount of money and grain from the Southern Song Dynasty, so that Daqin, who is now short of money and grain, will survive the difficult period.
Moreover, in order to avoid disturbing the people in the country, Cang Fei did not wantonly collect military rations in Daqin, so that the people of Daqin had no opinion on the conquest of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Although on the surface, the Southern Song Dynasty was stronger than Great Qin in terms of troops, armaments, and money and food, but Cang Fei was not afraid at all, no matter how prosperous the Southern Song Dynasty was on the surface, it was just a decadent and degenerate regime, and Great Qin was thriving, and the two sides could not talk about the same day at all.
The most important thing is, of course, that the rulers of each country are fundamentally different.
Cang Fei is a well-known Ming Jun, most of the hundred officials under him are honest and capable, while Emperor Song is mediocre, and the following group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials have nothing to do except loot the people.
An army of 500,000 surged down to the city of Xiangyang.
Looking at the 500,000 lions of Great Qin, the sergeants of the Southern Song Dynasty were full of complicated expressions.
This is the Han people in the north who were eager for their salvation before, but they didn't expect to stand up now, and even slash at them.
Without too many words, Cang Fei ordered the army to attack with drums!
Knock! Knock!
The drums sounded, and Tu Meng's army set up a ladder and attacked Xiangyang City.
In this war, Cang Fei did not go to the city alone to kill the soldiers defending the city at the beginning, as in the past, but first let the Tumeng army carry out a regular attack.
In the years since the founding of the Great Qin, the Tumeng army has been established for even longer, for such a long time, the war with the northern Mongols has never been broken, and the soldiers of the Tumeng army are almost all battle-hardened warriors.
Although compared with the Mongol soldiers, the Tu Mongol army was still weak, but with the advantage of numbers, it was already on par with the Mongols.
Of course, this is due to the Mongol side, Ali Buge and Kublai Khan fought for power, and did not send the main force to attack, but it is clear that the Tumeng army has grown up, not as weak as before, and every time Cang Fei needs to make a move, in order to win.
As the king of a country, Cang Fei cannot be in the army for a long time, let alone rush to the front in every battle, maybe he will choose to take action when encountering difficult and important battles, but ordinary wars, if he has to do it himself, it will be unreliable.
The north gate of Xiangyang City is the place where Cang Fei chose to attack.
At this time, Tumeng's army continued to try to rush up the city wall, but they were all blocked by the defenders of Xiangyang City, and the rain of arrows, rolling wood, and scalding water continued to fall, and Tumeng's army suffered heavy losses.
Cang Fei frowned, Tu Meng's army was very brave and kept rushing forward, but it didn't make much progress, and the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty defended it very tightly.
He couldn't sit still, although Cang Fei wanted to see the strength of Tu Meng's army, he was definitely not willing to waste troops and waste time in this way.
Cang Fei rushed to the battlefield, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at the foot of Xiangyang City, where the rain of arrows, rolling wood and other things, Cang Fei easily blocked them, and at the same time performed light skills and trampled on the city wall.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
......
A cry sounded in the Tumeng army, and all the soldiers of the Tumeng army shouted passionately, and they had endless respect for Cangfei.
In their minds, Cang Fei is not only the king of a country, the commander of the three armies, but also the god of the army, and the guarantee of victory.
When Cang Fei made a move, the soldiers of the Tu Meng army did not stop, but became more crazy and moved forward crazily.
Cang Fei climbed the city wall, grabbed a spear, and killed on the city wall.
Before the Battle of Taiyuan, Cangfei's martial arts had already exceeded the level of the Five Uniques, and after the Battle of Dashengguan, his martial arts were more sophisticated.
With a spear in hand, he slaughtered on the city walls, and there was no one enemy.
