Chapter 532
Zhao Bing looked at Zhang Shijie with a solemn face and suddenly shook his head and smiled. It really was a matter of his butt. If he had known the truth about "withdrawal of troops" in his previous life, he would definitely curse and then write a fierce post on the Internet. "Accuses this kind of evil deed of kidnapping tens of thousands of people for his own interests and destroying a city, shameless, despicable, bastard, villain, liar... These words will definitely fill the entire article.
Now Zhao Bingjue's dynasty is a country for the time being. He can barely call him the king of a country, but in fact, it is more appropriate to call him a "violent" group at best. However, with this identity, he put on a legal cloak and was able to do things in vain for the sake of the country, the Song Dynasty, and the people.
Now that Zhao Bing has only been a year since he has reached the high position, he suddenly realized that he has become a scumbag politician who has not achieved his goal and used all means. He kept coming out of conspiracy and not saying that he was not guilty at all, but he would not be complacent for his "smart" and even feel at ease. This sense of superiority is just because the chair under his butt, and he feels like doing justice, and it is not necessary to use some dark methods.
Although I did not blatantly send troops to drive away strongly, nor did I arrest people from door to door, I secretly used threats to intimidate and create disasters to achieve my goal, forcing the people of Quanzhou to board their own broken ship that could sink at any time, but also sacrificed the interests of these people. The methods were different, but the results were no different. It just made people feel that they were voluntarily, not forced by themselves, but so that their psychology would be more comfortable.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling guilty for bringing wars to the people of Quanzhou?" Zhang Shijie asked carefully when he saw His Majesty's face change.
"Yes, I am here, but I am unable to stay for a long time. But the Tartars want to spread hatred on the heads of the people, causing them unrestrained disasters and making them feel very uneasy!" Zhao Bing said.
"Your Majesty, don't think so." Zhang Shijie politely said, "Your Majesty raises troops to recover Quanzhou is a matter of justice and saves the people from water and fire. Quanzhou is originally Quanzhou of our Song Dynasty, and wealth is Your Majesty's wealth. If it weren't for the invasion of the Tartars, how could it happen today? Everything originated from the Tartars, but not Your Majesty!"
"Shishou is to relax my heart!" Zhao Bing said with a smile, but it was a little bitter. He had heard too much about this principle, nothing more than justice and injustice, but what are the standards of justice? Everyone would say that he acted justly. Didn't Kublai Khan also rallied south to punish the treacherous Southern Dynasty? However, Zhao Bing firmly believed that what he did was just. After all, the Mongols were invaders, and they ran to his yard to kill and set fire. If he didn't even have this sense of justice, wouldn't he have received so many years of education?
"I am not comforting Your Majesty, I am saying the truth!" Zhang Shijie shook his head and said, "The Tartars offended me, the Song Dynasty, were nothing more than coveting the wealth of Jiangnan. For this reason, they would kill and set fire to destroy our foundation. The people would be a little dissatisfied with swords and guns, and the killings would flow into a river. Some people raised the flag of righteousness to fight against violence, while others were displaced. Look at where the court came, the people fought for donating money and food, and the gentry all recruited righteousness to help the king, so that they would know what the people wanted. There were more than a thousand dead in Quanzhou to fight against violence, but Your Majesty would look at the city..."
"Oh, the number of people in the city seems to have increased a lot!" The platform where Zhao Bing is located is higher than the city wall, and he could clearly see everything in the city. He followed Zhang Shijie's finger. It was said that the people would panic when the battle was fought. They should take advantage of the opportunity when the city gates were not closed yet, but he saw that there were not fewer people on the street, but there were much more than usual.
"Your Majesty has few opportunities to go out and know less about the changes in the city. But I see the changes in the city every day." Zhang Shijie said, "Your Majesty told the people to avoid the war before attacking the city. After that, he also wiped out corrupt officials in the city, traitors surrendered generals, and punished the great merchants who colluded with the Tartars. After the city opened, they spread this good news. At that time, there were powerful people loyal to our dynasty, and the remaining ministers led their people into the city to serve the king. However, because Pu Shougen had not yet been sentenced to the law, some people outside the city were worried that the king's army would not be able to eradicate it, and they retreated without success. They did not dare to enter the city without preventing the Pu thieves from dying and revenge. However, after the Pu family was beheaded in the ancestral temple, the people went into the city to help with the war. At this moment, tens of thousands of young and strong men had gathered to obey Your Majesty's orders at any time and serve the emperor."
"Oh, I am sorry for these people. The court is ashamed of their loyalty!" Zhao Bing felt even more sad. He was coaxing and using these people who were loyal to him and sighed and said sadly.
"Your Majesty is kind and righteous, and he loves the military and soldiers. But you must not think so. In the war, you either die or I die. How can you be innocent? I feel uncomfortable when I see the thousands of soldiers falling down, but if we don't kill the Tartars, how can we survive? These people hope to return to the rule of the Song Dynasty and live the past life, so they naturally have to work hard, and maybe they will save their lives!" Zhang Shijie said excitedly.
"Yes, there will be sacrifices when there is victory, I understand!" Zhao Bing suddenly remembered a saying that a great man in his previous life said, sacrificing local interests for the sake of the whole is one of the principles of dialectics. The war he is experiencing now is a war between two countries. A war between two nations is a battle of life and death between one nation and one country, but not for personal interests and life and death. Abandoning a land and losing a city is also for future victory. Then his pity at this moment is just a small righteousness, and the flood of sympathy will be a disaster in the future, and it is definitely not a matter of justice.
"Your Majesty is so best!" Zhang Shijie said with relief as if he was relieved.
"Haha, thank you for your guidance, I thank you!" Zhao Bing bowed to Zhang Shijie and smiled. He didn't expect that Zhang Shijie would understand the world as a troop. Although it was not a great enlightenment, he also understood the coldness of the world.
"How dare I take it? I just have some understanding!" Zhang Shijie quickly returned the courtesy.
"Then today our monarch and ministers will teach our ministers a lesson and tell Kublai Khan that we should not bully our Song Dynasty and the Han people should not be humiliated!" Zhao Bing knew that he could not figure it out or understand it. Since he had sat on this chair, he had no choice but to take on the important task of saving the people and the country. At this moment, the sound of killing sounds on the battlefield was heard again, and thousands of soldiers were looking at him, and he cheered up again...
The attack was repeatedly frustrated, and in the evening, the general seemed to be unable to calm down. He dispatched the army to launch a strong attack, and he had the momentum to flatten the Song camp in one fell swoop. He still used the tactics used by Mongolian cavalry, and used the cavalry to continuously shoot forward and find the weakness of the Song army's defense, but the effect was not great between them. In addition, Zhao Bing commanded the army's heavy artillery in the right wing artillery group to intercept the heavy artillery, and instead threw away the corpses on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Suo seems to still use the right wing as a breakthrough!" Zhang Shijie also paid close attention to the battlefield. When they focused on the cavalry, the enemy infantry took the opportunity to carry the ladder forward, as if they were going to force the trench, and he suggested to the emperor.
"Well, the Mongols are best at using the strategy of vocalizing the east and attacking the west. They told Zhuang Zheng that the central army and the soldiers on the right wing should not move lightly, and that the central army guarding the city should be prepared for reinforcements at any time." Zhao Bing watched the Yuan soldiers fall down in groups under the interception of archers and crossbows, but he still did not retreat and rushed forward desperately, while the left wing and the central army did not move at all. This was abnormal. At this moment, the fool could see that even if they could break through the right wing, they would have suffered huge casualties. However, how could they expand the breakthrough and then seize the camp outside the city? Unless they were frightened, they would not even prepare to reinforce the right wing.
"Your Majesty, I suspect that their real attack position is on the left wing, which is the junction of the two armies. There may be gaps in defense. This guy is really cunning!" Zhang Shijie nodded after observing again.
"I am just guessing and dare not conclude that such arrangements are just a little cautious!" Zhao Bing knew that he was still learning about war and accumulating experience, so he dared not show off in front of the veteran. Besides, as the navy entered the city to replace the central army to maintain public order and had a guard serving as a strategic reserve team, he still had a lot of power to call. Adhering to the principle of being cautious and no big mistakes, he was still prepared to deal with emergencies.
"Your Majesty is right to be more cautious when facing the Yuan soldiers. If I could be as cautious as Your Majesty, I would not return without success, and I would make the Pu thief arrogant to this day." Zhang Shijie said sadly, "These Tartars were very cunning before the battle, and their virtuality and reality make people unable to understand their intentions, but once they are determined, they will fight for the deaths and deaths, and they will have a strong momentum. If our army is not a strong army, they will often be frightened by their power and collapse without fighting. Their courage makes me feel very thrilled!"
"The Tartars established their own country and conquered cities and land and fought continuously. They fought in all directions. The troops under their command became more and more brave. Temujin was skilled in the control of his subordinates and was good at military affairs, which was definitely not something that ordinary troops could fight!" Zhao Bing knew of the strength of the Mongolian army, its exquisite tactics, high morale, and bravery in combat. Even in the modern world, it was difficult to find an army that was shouldered by the army.
At this time, the Yuan army suffered thousands of casualties, covering the road to attack, but the offensive still remained unabated. Although the Song army was sharp and the firepower was fierce, the number was limited after all, and the shooting was not satisfactory, it was inevitable that there would be gaps in firepower. The Yuan army continued to use this to advance. Some soldiers even braved the rain of arrows to attack the trench, and set up the ladder to the trench and rushed over tremblingly. Some enemy soldiers could not wait to jump into the trench and threw their hooks and climbed up.
The performance of the rear army is also remarkable. In addition to using the cover of existing fortifications to continuously shoot the enemy soldiers approaching with crossbows, and tenaciously shoot with the archers close at hand, they also rushed out of the trench to fight the enemy soldiers who crossed the trench with grenades. Under their strong blocking, the Yuan soldiers were unable to break through the trench, but they also began to suffer major casualties. Zhuang Siqi still abides by His Majesty's orders and did not mobilize the army troops from the central army and the left wing to reinforce.
‘Wuwu…’ Just as the battle on the right wing was in full swing, the sound of horns in the enemy's direction sounded again, and the enemy's central army and the left wing soldiers began to move.
"Being told by Your Majesty, it is indeed a striking attack!" Zhang Shijie frowned. At the same time, he knew that this was the most powerful attack prepared by Sodu. At this time, the right wing was in full force, and the right wing was still insufficient. If the most powerful crossbow cannon was turned to suppress the enemy attacking the left wing, it might be possible to break through by the enemy. However, the left wing's offensive was obviously greater. With just a few dozen small crossbow cannons, it would be difficult to block the enemy's power attack. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Song army, which made him a little worried whether the rear army can defend the defense line.
"Well, the human sea tactic!" Zhao Bing nodded and murmured. This tactic of attacking the enemy formation in a dense formation regardless of casualties and multiple waves is not unfamiliar with him, even as a modern person.
As far as he knows, the human sea tactics may be the oldest attack method for mankind. In the era of cold weapons, the attacking parties invested superior forces in specific positions and time to gain tactical advantages. Entering the era of gunpowder, dense formations were even a necessary means to ensure the amount of firepower being deployed on their side, such as the classic "queuing and shooting". Until the Maxine machine gun was equipped with a large number of troops, many cases of massacres were produced during World War I, this ushered in the innovation of infantry tactics, which was gradually abandoned, but it still did not disappear. It was still frequently used in modern wars, and this extremely cruel tactic is a severe test for both the offensive and the defensive.
"Your Majesty, it's better to transfer the central army out of the city. I'm worried that the rear army will not be able to withstand the enemy's attack!" Although Zhang Shijie didn't know what the human sea tactics mentioned were, he knew that once there was a gap in the defense line, the enemy would flock in, and it would be too late to transfer reinforcements at that time.
"Okay, General Shu will order the central army to take over the reserve position, and all the rear army will be stationed in the front line!" Zhao Bing nodded.
"Yes, I follow the order!" Large-scale mobilization of the army is also a technical job. If you are not careful, you may cause chaos. Zhao Bing knew that his talent was limited, so he asked Zhang Shijie to command himself.
"Your Majesty, the enemy cavalry has entered the range of small crossbows, and the infantry is still 700 steps away from the trench!" Guan Tongshou reported.
"Let the rocket battalion concentrate firepower to attack the enemy infantry, and the crossbows fired flowering bullets to block the enemy cavalry!" Zhao Bing ordered. He had expected that the enemy would probably use the human sea tactics if they could not capture it for a long time. Because in ancient times, when weapons were simple and lacking modern firepower weapons, the continuous combat capability was not strong, and the intensive attack of multiple waves was obviously a tactic that was easy to choose.
