Chapter 257 What are you afraid of! (Ten thousand characters monthly pass)(3/4)

"After the military training is complete, will the first battle be the Battle of Yancheng?

"It's straightforward enough."

Zhao Haiping couldn't help but sigh.

After entering the second stage of the trial fantasy, he has been immersed in training.

Li Hao, played by Chu Ges, maneuvers around the court, fighting wits and courage with the dog emperor, and he is training his troops;

Fan Cun, who played the role of the prince, tried his best to stop the Jingkang Revolution, destroy the country of Xixia, and when he returned to the side of the Qing Dynasty, he was still training troops.

He was a little dizzy from practicing.

Fortunately, with the guidance and help of General Deng, Zhao Haiping finally trained a powerful new army according to General Deng's military tactics.

However, what he didn't expect was that the first battle of this new army would be the biggest fierce battle between Qi and Jin: the great victory of Yancheng.

At this time, the shadow of General Deng Yuanjing was also riding a war horse, standing beside Zhao Haiping.

"Because of the great victory in Yancheng, it can be said to be a key battle that determines the outcome of the war.

"Other small battles are of no use."

Zhao Haiping nodded and made preparations in his heart.

The reason why the Great Victory of Yancheng is the most famous battle of General Han Fuyue is not because the lost ground was recovered in this battle, nor because this battle achieved a certain strategic purpose, but because this battle directly won with less.

If there are too many, the main force of the Jin people will be defeated.

Great military strategists throughout the ages are often surprisingly consistent on two points.

The first is to be good at using guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, proactively find your own fighting opportunities, and not care about the gains and losses of one city or one place.

The second is to dare to fight a war of annihilation with the goal of wiping out the enemy's effective forces.

This is an irrefutable truth on the battlefield between Qi and Jin.

After this period of time, Zhao Haiping's understanding of the Jin people has reached a very high level.

Naturally, like General Han Fuyue in history, he accurately saw the fate of the Jin people.

And this destiny is that there are few people!

At the beginning, the Jurchen tribe only had more than 2,500 people. After they raised their troops, they fought and won consecutively. In just ten years, they completely annihilated the overlord who had millions of armors at that time.

Thousands of miles of land, a vast empire was established.

In the beginning, there were often myths about thousands of Jurchens defeating an enemy army of more than 100,000 soldiers.

And "The Jurchens are invincible if they are not equal to ten thousand" has become a shocking slogan.

But the greatest destiny of the Jin people has always been the lack of people.

And this also laid the foundation for the fall of the Jin Kingdom in the future.

Although the Jin Kingdom has a vast territory, its ethnic composition is very complex. Among them, the only ones who are truly capable of fighting and have privileges are the native Jin people, especially the military aristocrats among the Jin people. These people are also called fierce

An Mooke is the absolute backbone of the Jin Kingdom.

The reason why Meng'an Mooke could maintain such a strong combat effectiveness in the early days was because they were a class of Jin people who could directly benefit from the war. Every time they captured land, gold and silver, they could share it as much as they wanted, so they had a very high will to fight.

.

As long as you achieve military merit in the war, you can seal a large piece of land and reach the sky in one step.

However, the Jin people have always had very low political intelligence. During their rule, other ethnic groups basically lived as slaves.

Not only did the Jin people burn, kill, and plunder when they went south to the Qi Dynasty, but also treated the people of the Qi Dynasty as pigs and dogs and slaughtered them at will. Various other ethnic groups in the Jin Kingdom also suffered great oppression.

Therefore, in history, after General Han Fuyue achieved a great victory, war broke out within the Jin Kingdom, and all oppressed ethnic groups also rose up to resist.

As for later, when Wanyan Hailing wanted to reform, or later when the Northern Barbarians rose up and destroyed the Jin Dynasty, it was because these few military nobles enjoyed the greatest benefits, but they quickly became corrupted and lost their combat effectiveness as a generation aged.

The fall of the Jin Kingdom is not surprising.



Only after understanding this can we understand why the victory of Yancheng is so important.

Because in this battle, General Han Fuyue severely damaged the Jin people's elite cavalry, Tiefutu and Kaizima, and almost wiped them out in one battle.

The other elite troops of the Jin people were basically killed and wounded in large numbers.

To the point that Wanyan Sheng sighed sadly: "Since we raised our troops on the sea, we have been victorious with this, but now we are defeated!"

In other words, the Tiefu Tu and Guaizima killed in the great victory of Licheng were all the elite of the Jin people's fierce and powerful forces, and they were the fundamental force for maintaining their rule.

And once these people died, it meant that the entire pillars of the Jin Dynasty were torn down, and the building would shake instantly.

This is why after the unjust death of General Han Fuyue, the Jin people really signed a peace agreement with the Qi Dynasty and stopped attacking. They did not take this opportunity to destroy Qi again. Instead, they prepared for more than ten years before Wanyan Hailing

He led his army southward again.

The reason is that the Jin people suffered heavy losses in this battle and were indeed unable to fight again.

Now, although the dungeon does not clearly indicate the victory goal at this stage, in Zhao Haiping's view, it is all obvious.

That is: kill the enemy's effective forces as much as possible and recreate a great victory in Yancheng!



This great victory at Yancheng commanded by Zhao Haiping was not very different from the real great victory at Yancheng in history.

After all, with General Deng Yuanjing, a famous general throughout the ages, running the army, heroes always see the same thing.

Wanyan Sheng first spied out that the core of the Qi army led by Zhao Haiping was stationed in Lincheng, while other troops were scattered around the surrounding areas, leaving the core empty, so he decided to personally lead 15,000 elite cavalry and 100,000 infantry to attack Lincheng.

City, the command center of the Qi army must be eliminated in one fell swoop with a beheading operation.

If it succeeds, then the rest of the Qi army will lose their command and will definitely collapse without a fight.

But this time, it hit the mark.

Since it is Wan Yansheng's beheading operation, it means that he will break into the Qi army's formation at all costs. If he cannot attack for a long time and the various units of the Qi army quickly support him, his deep and lonely army will be destroyed.

Danger.

Therefore, for both sides, this battle has become a duel between spear and shield.

For Wan Yansheng, he wanted to use the iron pagoda and the kidnapping horse to break through the military formation of Zhao Haiping's soldiers at all costs and complete the beheading operation; while for Zhao Haiping, he wanted to command his elite soldiers regardless of cost.

Hold on at all costs and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

At this point, both sides have gains and losses.

For Wan Yansheng, on the premise that he had to complete the beheading operation, it meant that he had to give up the mobility of the cavalry and could no longer make detours in guerrilla warfare. Instead, he had to press Jin Gui's heavy cavalry up one after another;

But at the same time, since he is the one who takes the initiative and has superior military strength, this is indeed a perfect opportunity for him.

It’s no wonder that history will evaluate him: He always makes the right strategic decisions at the right time and in the right place, but every time he fights, he always goes in the opposite direction due to execution reasons and becomes a "famous general quality inspection machine."

.

For Zhao Haiping, his troops were at a disadvantage at this time, and a large number of elite infantry lacked room to maneuver.

But since Wan Yansheng had to break through his military formation at all costs, then as long as he could hold on to his position desperately, he would have won half the battle.



The war begins.

This army, which has been specially trained by General Deng, has become a force that obeys orders and prohibits them. They dare not disobey orders, and they feel as comfortable as using their arms and fingers.

The various arrangements made specifically for the Jin cavalry, such as targeted training for horseback, spear, axe, etc., also had a miraculous effect.

Wanyan Sheng first used his cavalry to outflank the two flanks, trying to cut down the Qi army's heavy infantry formation like peeling an onion layer by layer. However, Zhao Haiping immediately ordered his cavalry to go into battle and fight with the kaizi horses.

These elite cavalry were still able to gain the upper hand in battles with the Jin's cavalry horses.

Wan Yansheng finally couldn't calm down, so he ordered Tiefu Tu to charge directly into the Qi army's heavy infantry formation.

Zhao Haiping ordered these heavy infantry to resist the horses and spears to block the Tiefu Tu's attack, and then sent out specialized elite heavy infantry, each holding shields, axes, maza knives, etc., to behead the Tiefu Tu.

.

These elite infantrymen holding their shields high looked like they were in training. They lowered their heads and used thick shields to protect their heads and faces. Then they just moved forward and were not allowed to retreat. They could only lower their heads and not raise their heads.

He used his shield to block the iron pagoda, which had been stopped by his horse and spear, and whose impact was reduced, and then chopped off the horse's legs one after another.

After these iron pagodas fell off their horses, soldiers with spears flew their helmets away, and then soldiers with big axes came forward and beheaded them.

This battle lasted for several hours, and the subsequent battle lasted for another six days.

The Qi army fought successively and successfully, and Wan Yansheng's 100,000-strong army was defeated and had to retreat.



The white fog in Zhao Haiping's vision gradually dissipated.

After the great victory in Yancheng, the scene in front of him changed rapidly. When he looked back, he was already in Zhuxian Town.

"General!

"You will be outside, and you will not accept your orders!"
