Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 55 The war is not over yet!

Zhao Huan stopped his fantasies in time, now Jin Bing is still wandering on his river east road, this is not the time to dream!

He was very convinced that it was far better to let Yue Fei go out to fight than to be the next commander in his own army.

Moreover, this group is a criminal army, and it is said that there is no luck at all. No one can find fault with it.

At this time, Zhao Huan had to thank Song for his official position, official position, and dispatch. Although this cumbersome official position led to a heavy bureaucracy, overstaffed, and countless redundant officials, it also had a lot to do in terms of flexibility.

On the surface, Yue Fei is still Bing Yilang, but after this battle, how many responsibilities will be transferred depends entirely on Yue Fei's performance on the battlefield.

As for checking and balancing Shen Cong, there is no need to arrange manpower by yourself at all, and Liang Shicheng, the commander of the three yamen, will do the check.

Zhao Huan is quite satisfied with this scheduling. Although it is not perfect in all aspects, it is already the limit of his ability.

Li Gang took out a note from his sleeve and said: "Liu Yi, the military supervisor, read the books given by the officials, and wrote a book "Shooting Zhushen". It is improved, and it works well on the improved version of the bed crossbow."

"There are countless trebuchets in Taiyuan, send a fast horse, with a newly invented sight, and this book to Taiyuan City?"

Geometry is not very thick, and its theory is not very profound. Liu Yi, who is known as a mathematician, has no problem in understanding this book, but Zhao Huan is still overjoyed when it is applied to practice so quickly.

Moreover, right-angled triangles, protractors, and mathematical tools for several diagrams, applied to equipment such as bed crossbows and trebuchets, are completely qualitative improvements.

Zhao Huan flicked through Liu Yi's "Shooting All ginseng" a little bit, and felt that the writing was still a bit esoteric. After all, there are still a few generals who are capable of writing and fighting. It would be better if they could be written in plain language.

However, many generals have participating generals, so it is not a big problem to understand this book, and it is not a big problem to use it in practice.

"Sure." Zhao Huan said.

Shen Cong took out a letter from his arms and said: "There are also Zhang Xiaochun, the imperial emissary of the Taiyuan government, and Wang Zhi, the deputy emissary, with wax books. Here is the wax book. Please have a look at it."

"Although the Jin people are under the city, they can't do any harm. Taiyuan has been a powerful feudal clan since ancient times. The city is strong and the food is sufficient, and the soldiers are brave. Hu rode a horse and didn’t return, the top is revenge for the court, and the bottom is for the soldiers and civilians and other blood!”

Zhao Huan opened the first letter, it was Zhang Xiaochun, in general Zhao Huan understood it, but he refused to fight, he really couldn't fight, so he defended the city and waited for help.

And Wang Ting's letter is more intuitive than Zhang Xiaochun's letter.

"Taiyuan City is forty miles away, and the defense is very strong. The people from the age of fifteen to under sixty are all registered as soldiers. All the houses are demolished, and the walls are removed, so that the places are connected, and the rich and the poor have the same food. The stalemate lasts for half a year. Rescue the soldiers. If not, the food is exhausted, if the reinforcements do not arrive for a long time, the old and the weak will be killed, and the country will die."

"The people are short of food, the three armies eat cattle and horses first, and mules next. They cook bows and crossbows, and the common people cook duckweed, bark, and chaff. To fill their stomachs. The second is the wife, and the male will die. If you eat the meat yourself, there is no time to exchange it."

"Zhang Xiaochun wanted to surrender to the enemy, so he summoned all the supervisors to negotiate a peace. He led five hundred knives and axes to pay homage to the magistrate, and then took military power. Although it was an expedient measure, all crimes cannot be redeemed."

Is Zhang Xiaochun ready to betray?Zhao Huan didn't know the bloody storm, but how difficult it was for Wang Bao to defend the city for about half a year!

"The Jin people once said: The city is trapped, and the defenders can't move if they step up the city. If the city is broken, they will send troops into the city. Everyone, old and young, will be killed! Burn the houses! Destroy the city walls! Taiyuan has been afraid of Qiu ruins since then carry on."

Zhao Huan had long heard the rumors that Yan Zonghan had issued an order not to seal the saber for ten days, and when he got the news from Wang Teng today, he really had mixed feelings in his heart.

At this time, I can only hope that Zhong Shizhong, the younger brother of Zhong Shi Dao, can go to Taiyuan City quickly and rush to help Taiyuan.

Zhao Huan solemnly put down the two letters, and said: "Everyone, what I heard just now is the battle of Taiyuan City. Taiyuan City, which has been guarded for more than 100 days, is in danger."

"Even if the Wanyan Zongwang Department cannot be wiped out, it must be detoured to Yanjing Mansion, pass Juyongguan, go to Yunzhou, and then go to Datong by detour! If you enter the East Road from Xingzhou, Taiyuan City will be destroyed in a short time. The military situation is urgent. Please help! The generals."

"Deling!" The faces of several people also became serious, and they were not at all excited like when they heard about the retreat. This war is not over yet.

Master Zhong went out of Dongyemen, then out of the outer city, and arrived at Wanyan Zongwang's abandoned camp.

He found his three commanders in the camp and reminded them of the main points of the battle.

Yue Fei led his army of [-] criminals, and set off from the imperial city, first went to the arsenal, received a lot of weapons and supplies, went out of Dailou gate, and went to the Zhongshidao military camp for a meeting.

Li Gang wrote several documents overnight, handed them to Kuaiqi, and sent him to the Zongze Barracks on the north bank of the Yellow River, and asked him to go to Xingzhou.

Next to Jinzhong is Maling Pass, the mountain pass into Taihang Mountain, and there is a small city in Xingzhou called Crescent City, which is only guarded by more than [-] people. It is the only way to enter Taihang Mountain from the North China Plain.

As for Maling Pass, there are 24 passes below. It is true that the mountains are high and the water is deep, but each pass has only one battalion of defenders, and each pass has only 500 people, which is far from enough!

This Maling Pass is an important stronghold to block Wanyan Zong Wangbu this time!Behind him is Heshun, and Guo Heshun can go to Jinzhong and directly to the city of Taiyuan!

Li Gang tried his best to explain the importance of Crescent City as concisely as possible. On the road of Wanyan Zongwang's return to the north, only Crescent City in Xingzhou can go directly to Taiyuan.

The reason why he concluded that Wanyan Zongwang would not go another way was because there was only Zhaozhou to the north that could lead to Taiyuan, but on that road was Niangziguan, which was known to be easy to defend but difficult to attack.

From there, as long as Niangziguan's five thousand defenders are not pigs, Wanyan Zongwang, who rushed to help, will suffer heavy losses!

This conflicts with Wanyan Zongwang's strategy!
Whether it was Zhao Huan, Zhong Shidao, or Li Gang, Yuefei and others, they all concluded that the reason why Wanyan Zongwang went to help Wanyan Zonghan instead of returning to Liaodong was that Wanyan Zongwang's ambition was still alive!
His ambition is still supporting him, otherwise when he left, he would not have left the captives of women and children, and the [-] Han bandit army, but would have returned north with them.

That's good judgment.

He also wrote books to Jincheng, Changzhi, Linzhou and other places to strengthen security to prevent Wanyan Zong Wang's department from suddenly entering the East Road from here.

In the battle of Shanxi, there is no room for loss!

Li Gang scratched his gray hair, recalled the important roads in the map given by the new emperor, and sent the letter after making sure it was safe.

Yue Fei discovered another advantage of the decisive victory chariot, that is, it is enough to stack food, grass and supplies on the cart. This cart is not only a combat tool, but also a means of transportation, killing two birds with one stone.

The departure speed of Yue Fei's criminal army was half an hour faster than the speed of the teacher. He set off first, chasing the horse's hoof prints, and chasing the enemy.

"Fu Xuan, you take 800 people and ride horses as scouts, patrol around, and return after finding the enemy's trace." Yue Fei called his adjutant and said.

This person is from his own hometown, and both of them were selected when the marriage officer was selected, but Yue Fei had to go back to his hometown to observe his father's filial piety, so he lost his quota of marriage officer.

Now, when old friends meet, things are different.

The horse is a serious and tall horse in the Western Regions, but it was lent to him by Zhong Shaobao before his departure.

For an army without horses, marching scouts and sending news are very troublesome things. The [-] horses were borrowed by Yue Fei.

It was also the first time for him to lead an army of 6000 people, so he didn't feel that it was so inconvenient, and the morale of the army was extremely high.

This is a chance to live a dignified life, and it is also a chance to give the family a chance to live.

What are the consequences of the bandit rebellion?
Yi tribe.

Since the new emperor has given the opportunity to perform crimes and meritorious deeds, they will naturally seize this opportunity.

Moreover, the marching speed of the [-] decisive army has greatly exceeded his expectations. They were all infantry, and he thought it would be very slow, but it turned out to be faster than he expected, because the scouts returned quickly and found Wanyan Zongwang. department.

Less than ten miles.

How come it's so close?How could Wanyan Zong Wangbu, who had already set off for a day, be so slow?
"Liu Jing, led fifty chariots on the left wing, Zhang Xian, led fifty chariots on the right wing, Wang Gui, led fifty chariots on the forward, and the formation was not scattered during the march. Since we caught the trace of the opponent, the opponent is likely to have You have noticed us and prevented the opponent from ambush." ​​Yue Fei always felt that something was wrong.

ps: In the next chapter, the marching map of Yue Fei and Wanyan Zongwang has been prepared. After I mark it, I will post it to the top post in the comment area.

Now there is the previous marching map in the top post, you can eat it first, you need to operate on the computer, copy the URL.
