Chapter 701 The 7,000-square-kilometer pocket (1)(1/2)

The morning breeze has risen. The wind runs into the Qinjiangkou with its light steps from Beibu Gulf. The huge black shadows at the riverkou are surging up and down with the wind.

The wind ran into Anyuan City, bringing a pleasant coolness. The wind ran to the Jiaozhi camp mischievously, and the fire came happily, and the flames were spitting higher, bigger and stronger. But the wind was still not strong, giving the Jiaozhi people enough time to escape from the boat back to the shore, otherwise, two fires in the south and north just now, and many Jiaozhi people could burn them alive on the boat.

It was enough, the fire flew away, and the arrival of a powerful Song army that emerged from somewhere, the entire military camp of Jiaozhi was in chaos.

Zhao Xun suddenly thought of something and said, "Mr. Zheng, let me go too."

"No, you can go for luck, but you can't go. Not only can you go, but some soldiers who can be used from Lianzhou to Qinzhou cannot go. You must take them to Yongzhou. The difficulty is not over there, but Yongzhou. Although this pocket is good, it is too big and not tightly pierced to let the Jiaozhi army drill out, they can turn into poisonous snakes, and tens of thousands of households in Yongzhou will suffer from the disaster." Zheng Lang said seriously.

Di Qing made great contributions in this battle. Without his ideas, there would be no soul of this battle. Just like Liu Bei could divide the world in three parts and Zhuge Liang was the same.

The whole tactic revolves around this ship.

This is bullying the small country of Jiaozhi and the number of troops is not large. However, if the imperial guards in the capital are used, the Guangdong and Guangxi are even fewer. Therefore, let Jiaozhi divide the troops first, win the fewer ones, and eat Qin Lian's troops. There are too many enemies in Yongzhou and cannot be eaten for the time being. However, a very large pocket was laid. The area of ​​this pocket is at least 7,000 square kilometers. If you want to kill it, you cannot lose nearly twenty villages. You can't go to Yongzhou to suffer a lot and retreat from your own major plans.

If you can't kill, something big is wrong. If you kill, you will be able to win a great victory in this battle.

All the money problems required for war can be solved.

Zhao Xun understood military affairs, thought about it, but didn't say anything. He was a little unhappy, not only him, but also Zhang Ji. Who doesn't want to go? But all the generals can't go together, what should I do in Yongzhou?

Zheng Lang stared at the panicked Jiaozhi army and continued: "But you don't need to explain in detail to the court after this battle."

In fact, guard against one defense in advance, with the current troops in Guangdong and Guangxi and many generals, the south is guarded from the three passes, and the Qin and Lian Prefectures make some preparations in advance. The Jiaozhi people will not achieve success in invasion. However, they cannot prevent them for a while. They cannot prevent them for a lifetime.

Many generals and soldiers will eventually be withdrawn. What should I do if Jiaozhi invades?

During this release, many soldiers and the people died.

However, the truth is revealed, some people would not think so. And Ouyang Xiu returned to the court, which was very troublesome.

Therefore, the truth cannot be explained in detail, it can only be said that I was forced to fight back in self-defense.

Fortunately, most of the officials in Guangdong and Guangxi are now doing practical things. There are not many ministers who like to talk about them. Only Yu Jing is close to Ouyang Xiu and others. Others, such as Tian Yu and Zhou Qing, are all practical people who like to do practical things and talk less.

The Song army who had set foot on the ashore began to gather and rushed towards the Jiaozhi people.

At the same time, another army rushed out of the mountain monument in the north, with a relatively small number of people. It was an army gathered from Lianzhou and Lingshan. In order to confuse the Jiaozhi army, it was divided into three units, and they all set out at night. First, Lianzhou pulled out some troops and sneaked into Lingshan at night. The next night, it set out from Lingshan and sneaked into Ruhongzhai at night. Last night, three thousand troops set out from Ruhongzhai and sneaked to the north of Anyuan City.

This was not needed, but Zhao Xun's night attack brought the two armies of Jiaozhi army into one, and he had to change the plan, making it even more troublesome. Otherwise, the army would be divided into two places as before, both in the south of the city, attacking inside and outside, and both armies would be destroyed.

But luckily, Jiaozhi people are careless and careless, although they have an impact, they have little impact.

Seeing his army coming out from behind, Zheng Lang shouted: "Open the city gate."

The army selected last night broke out from the northwest city gate.

A war began outside the south gate.

The combat effectiveness of the Jiaozhi soldiers is still considerable, at least it is stronger than that of the Nong Zhigao army, but it is in chaos at this time. Don’t talk about the Jiaozhi people, even if they give birth to Jurchens, their formations are in chaos, and they will be doomed to be defeated.

Faced with the Song Dynasty infantry, who were fully armed and almost all equipped with infancy armor, the battlefield on the south was a one-sided battle.

Only a few Jiaozhi people resisted, and most of them fell on the ground when the Song army came over like wolves and tigers, and raised their hands to surrender.

The military in the north seemed to face a little better danger.

But he was also frustrated.

All the warships were burned. Where did they escape back to Jiaozhi and flee from the shore? There is a Sihong River in the west blocking like a natural chasm. Even if you swim through Sihong River, there is still a long road, and it is like a little ghost in Xizhai who can't walk in a short time. Even if you escape under the pursuit of the Song army and flee to Ruxizhai, you have no food, no drink, and no siege equipment, how can you capture Ruxizhai?

In fact, if they want to resist, they will lose.

The six thousand Song troops in the city, plus the three thousand Song troops in the north, were not over. Many relatives in their families died in battle. At this time, they wanted to peel the Jiaozhi people's skin and drink the Jiaozhi people's blood. Many people picked up their own crude "weapons", such as kitchen knives, fire sticks, chop hatchets, and beat dog sticks. They spontaneously rushed out of the city gate, followed the Song army, and rushed towards the Jiaozhi people.

When the officers and soldiers at the city gate saw them coming in a fierce manner, they did not dare to stop them. Zheng Lang did not let them stop them. After more than ten days of bloody battle, too many people died, so they had to let them vent their venting.

The sun finally rose.

When a touch of red stains the earth, the battle is about to end.

This is the most straightforward battle.

No Jiaozhi soldiers escaped. Even though they escaped at that time, they were all captured or shot dead afterwards under the search of people from all over the world. Nearly 17,000 Jiaozhi soldiers, a total of more than 12,000 people were killed, resulting in the large number of enemy soldiers being shot dead. It was because the people were angry and killed prisoners without any obstruction. The rest were all captured alive.

But it also left serious trauma to the Song Dynasty.

From Lianzhou to Anyuan City, from the defense war to the counterattack war, more than 4,000 people died in the front and rear, and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land were flooded. More than one million acres of arable land, including Yongzhou, delayed production. Not only that, while many people joined the army, some bad people took the opportunity to do evil and brought great confusion to local public security. In addition, a bunch of messes were left everywhere. For example, Qinjiang, a large shipwreck sank huge rocks, which was of great use.

There are many ships in Jiaozhi. There may not be many giant ships that can be used. This time, this time, the invasion of Jiaozhi, almost most of the large ships that can be used to be brought to the Qinjiangkou. They must not be allowed to escape back to Jiaozhi. The goal has been achieved. But these huge rocks must be salvaged slowly in the future, otherwise it will affect the Qinjiang channel. The large wooden stakes laid on the Zuojiang River in Yongzhou will also be released after the war. The flooded dikes must be drained...

Post-war pensions and rewards were the top priority.

Zheng Lang didn't like fighting for war, but he had to fight for peace.

Perhaps also affected by the great atmosphere of the Song Dynasty, Zheng Lang was not interested in the dethronement of military troops. On the contrary, he focused more on internal governance.

The battle is coming to an end.

Many people were shouting and crying.

Zheng Lang took Zhou Han out of the city to comfort him carefully.

And Zheng Lang apologized repeatedly.

It cannot be said that Zheng Lang is kind. If he was as kind as Zhao Zhen, there would not be this arrangement. It is just the psychology of a small house in later generations, or a little noble. There is no humanistic spirit in this era, so the people are sad but not complain.

The compensation for mental trauma is also material. After the war, the materials obtained from some unburned embers in the Jiaozhi Military Camp and the materials in the city were distributed to the people. This was the first batch. There was also a group of yamen runners and officers and soldiers. First, let a group of yamen runners and officers and soldiers put five thousand Jiaozhi people in shackles and handcuffs and escort them to the rear.

Guo Kui sent back a group of prisoners of war, but the merchants were dissatisfied. The time was too short and they were close to Jiaozhi, so they were not relieved. Therefore, Zheng Lang made a verdict. The Jiaozhi was sentenced to be punished for 20 years of labor and the general amnesty was not allowed to be released. If someone was in his hands, he was sentenced to lifelong labor. This made many merchants smile happily, and then they were amazed at Zheng Lang's practice of building both a archway and doing that. What is the difference between this and a slave?

Of course, the time has been extended, and there is a price. What Zheng Lang likes is to give up the land in short supply on Fujian Road in Central Plains and Liangzhe to the fourth and fifth-class households, and the second is that the money required for this battle will not be less, either donating land or donating money.

All understand.

So under the tacit understanding between the two sides, most of the Jiaozhi people were divided into various parts of Guangnan East Road, or prefectures and counties north of Guangnan West Road, such as Guizhou, Rongzhou, and Zhaozhou.

After the ambition of Xiao Yue in later generations, he allowed the second ancestor to fight back twice and fight into a widow village. Zheng Lang still had this idea. This is the price of provoking China!

The first step is to do this. Otherwise, if the people are angry, a prisoner will not be taken away later. They will be beaten to death by the angry people.

Jiaozhi had no way to invade Qinzhou again, and divided the soldiers, including militia, into two. The elite soldiers were drawn, with a total of 6,000 people, which was to be brought to Yongzhou. The remaining ones were drawn, and a lot of arable land was flooded, and war was coming, and business was interrupted. As long as the spare labor was taken away, it was not for fighting, but for moving things. Zhao Xun could not leave, so he had to prepare and bring weapons and supplies before he could leave.

Zheng Lang took three thousand laborers on board the boat, plucked up the sails again, and the soldiers waved the oars and sailed southward.

The Battle of Anyuan City was just the beginning of the reversal. It was only when the Song Dynasty fleet moved southward that it really began.

After a while, the huge fleet disappeared on the horizon.

Zhao Xun looked at the direction where the fleet disappeared with envious eyes and sighed, what should I do? I can only go to Yongzhou.

I counted the weapons and supplies and got on the road in the afternoon.

...

But it's not very optimistic yet.

Wu Er led a large army to enter the hinterland of Yongzhou from the three armies. First, he was blocked from Zuojiang, and the water gate was controlled by the water gate. After taking the water gate, he distributed many troops to enter from the water gate. After all, the water gate flowed down the water gate, which was faster and saved the soldiers' physical strength. When the fleet arrived at Luozhe Cave, it was placed on a canyon area and then placed on a hidden stake. This move was invented by the Jiaozhi people and made the Later Han defeat. However, Zheng Lang moved it out many times.

Because the river is shrinking and the river is turbulent, the boats know that there are hidden stakes in front of them, but they cannot get off the anchor in time to control the boat. It would be better if they go upwards, but now they can't brake. They watch the boat in front playing with the bars, and the boat behind them is still rushing forward.

The ships began to collide, and before the ambush on the shore broke out, the ship began to sink.

Then the ambushers on the shore raised their bows and arrows, and the rockets flew around. However, because Jiaozhi attached importance to scouts, there were not many ambushers, which was a pity.

When they saw something was wrong, the Jiaozhi soldiers jumped into the ship and ran away.

When the water flows fast, there will be dark whirlpools. Even if the water is good, many soldiers will suck it to the bottom of the river and drowned alive. But many soldiers still fled to the shore. Seeing this, the Song Dynasty ambushed soldiers fought a small battle and retreated. Don’t think about leaving the waterway at a moment.

Helpless. I can only walk on the dry road.

The situation of dry roads was relatively good. The Song Dynasty built several avenues, and the original avenues were also expanded. The road surface was flat and wide. The Jiaozhi army rushed to Taipingzhai in a fierce manner, which made Wu Er angry again. Knowing that the main force of Jiaozhi was arrived, the Song people were still tampering the hidden stakes on the river surface.

is required.

Zuojiang has developed water transportation, and there is only one checkpoint at Shuitou Pass. The rest of the river surface cannot be intercepted. If the Jiaozhi people rushed to the rear of Taiping Village, it would be in chaos. The gates can be built on various important roads on the shore. What should I do if the water surface is? I can only use hidden stakes to block the enemy.

Then Wu Er looked at Taiping Village again and frowned.

Another Zhennan Pass was formed. Most of the city walls on the south were not only tall and strong. Most of them were built with stones and bricks. Can the car crash into the earth walls? Could these stone walls be collapsed? The original plan was to quickly pounce on Yongzhou City and take down Yongzhou, and the other side quickly took down Qinzhou Lianzhou, and the two armies met in Hengzhou. Then, depending on the situation, either hit Guizhou or Guangzhou, causing the entire Guangdong and Guangxi to decay. Then look at the reaction of the Song Dynasty, at least the Song Dynasty had to ced Yongzhou to Jiaozhi. If you are not convinced, you will retreat to Yongzhou and use the hot weather in the south and the complex mountainous terrain to snipe. If you can't get Yongzhou, Guangdong and Guangxi will become corrupt and plunder, and this industry will also have a lot of income.

Since ancient times, the people of the Central Plains have been the most miserable. Because of their diligence, all the Central Plains are the richest areas. The Central Plains dynasty invaded nomadic peoples or the south, and their expenditures far exceeded their income. Initiating wars did not have much practical value except expanding territory. However, these countries were different. As long as they invaded, they would gain something. Even Jiaozhi was careless and only used 20,000 people to maintain the logistics of the 80,000 army. Without guns, the Central Plains people gave them guns, no grain, the Central Plains people gave them food, no cloth, the Central Plains people gave them cloth, no money, the Central Plains people gave them money.

The Song Dynasty was not interested in opening the border and even used money to buy peace, which was forced by this tragic situation.

Zheng Lang had a good time to develop Guangdong and Guangxi, just in western Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangnan West Road were densely populated, and because of the land, he even drowned his own children. This gave Zheng Lang the premise of large-scale immigration. If there were no Chinese households and these immigrants decades in advance, considering that the barbarians were not loyal to the court, even if the court had money, he would not agree to Zheng Lang's development Guangdong and Guangxi.

If you are not a person of our race, your heart will be different. It is a slogan that has been shouted since the Tang Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty had a clearer understanding. The Anshi Rebellion caused the Han-based idea to appear from the Song Dynasty. Zheng Lang also had it, but his ideas were even more advanced. It doesn’t matter if it was not a problem with the Han people, and it would be a sinicization. It would be better to transform all ethnic groups in the Song Dynasty into Han people, not to mention more than 100, more than 50, or more than a dozen races, or five or six races, which Zheng Lang didn’t like. And there was a precedent. The sinicization of the Xianbei people was placed where it was more than 500 years ago, and it could be proved. You can’t be serious. If you are serious, 90% of the northern people have more or less the genes of the Xianbei people, but who thinks they are Xianbei people? Maybe Zheng Lang has the blood of the Xianbei people himself, but Zheng Lang thinks he is Xianbei?

Therefore, one is immigration, and the other is the Chinese barbarians.

This approach is also the reason for the crisis in Jiaozhi.

Looking at the Taiping City Wall, Wu Er said nothing for a moment. With a last wave of his hand, he pushed the captured barbarians and people down under the city wall, and asked them to continue to be cannon fodder. He Bin shouted on the top of the city: "Everyone, it's not that the court is cruel, and it really cannot retreat. Once he retreats, there are more than one million households and nearly five million people in the back. If you want to survive, resist. We will not give in."

This is a nice saying.

The fact that this unbearableness and concession made many tribes more grateful to the Song Dynasty, and some tribal soldiers who participated in the Jiaozhi Alliance were shaken. But they still did not play a role. In the decisive battle, the first role could be played. When the army was shaken, the Jiaozhi people could not work together, and their combat effectiveness would decline. After the war, it would be beneficial to the rule of the court.

After talking to Bin, the soldiers and arrows were released together.

The cannon fodders fled and fled.
