Chapter 196 Prelude
After receiving Zongfu's urgent report, Wu Shu was enthusiastic about the attack on Datong and made great achievements, but now he felt like he was poured with ice water on his head. The two armies of the Song army attacked You in two north and south.
In the Yan area, Pingzhou was lost and Yanjing was in crisis. At this time, the Song army, which had been missing, suddenly discovered that the Song army, had emerged from all directions and surrounded them in several directions.
Wushu immediately understood that Zhao Er not only wanted Youyan, but also his life. But now not only the wealth in the Youyan area makes him reluctant to abandon it. In fact, he has regarded Youyan as his back garden in his heart.
As the capital to absorb greater power, his actions did not go as Zhao Zhen expected, and he gave up the movement to the north and jumped out of the siege of the Song army to Zhongjing. Instead, the front team turned into the back team and quickly returned to the army to take the risk of returning to Juyongguan to rescue Yan
Beijing.
Wu Shu thought it was good, but when the Song army discovered his intention, they immediately gave up "escape" and turned around and chased after him, trying to keep him outside the pass. The two armies fought several times, but although they all rushed out of the siege, they used the
The marching speed inevitably slowed down, and he had to send troops to cut off the rear and deal with the Song army to get rid of the pursuit of the Song army.
The Western Route Army led by Zhao Meng include Longyi, Lion Wing, Hezhong, Hedong and Shaanxi troops, nearly 100,000 troops are strong in strength, but both Longyi and Lion Wing are newly formed.
The new army had never experienced a great war and lacked combat experience, while the three-way state army was equipped with cold weapons. Although there were many people, its combat effectiveness was still weak compared to the other two armies.
Zhao Meng also understood this point. The front army that Wu Shu cut off the rear was the most elite cavalry and had certain combat power. Especially the Tiefutu among them, the attack power was the strongest. And he lacked the cavalry army to compete with.
Due to the limitation of the marching speed, the artillery was unable to keep up with the pursuit team. Especially the Hezhong and Hedong armies, which were engaged in the interception mission, caught up with the siege several times and were broken through, and they could not wait until the large group of people arrived to gather and annihilate them.
The retreating Jin army has now passed Shimen Pass, and the central army has arrived in Guihua Prefecture, which is only one day away from Juyong Pass. However, the fighter jets have also appeared again. Due to the harassment and interception of the Song army, the Jin army has become the rear army.
The front army gradually became disconnected from the marching brigade, and opened the distance, and a gap of forty miles appeared between them and the central army. This provided a good opportunity for the Song army to divide the encirclement and annihilate the Jin army's rear army. Zhao Meng decided to organize the troops again.
Encirclement and annihilation battle.
Zhao Meng has been in the northwest for many years and knows very well about the Hezhong Army and the Hedong Army. Although he cannot face the frontal charge of the regular cavalry of the Jin Army, he also has his own unique tactics. Most of their soldiers were from the border.
All the British and Han ethnic groups. They all have the inherent talents of the horseback nation, their personal riding and martial arts are superb, and they are good at using the horseback tactics of the nomadic peoples. Their main characteristics are maneuverability and flexibility.
Therefore, Zhao Meng continued to pursue and harass the Jin army with the hunting cavalry brigade, delaying their marching speed, continuing to widen the distance with the brigade, and expanding the gap. Hezhong army, which had already detoured to the right wing of the Jin army and the Hedong army, which was waiting on the left wing, quickly broke off the rear
The two wings of the Jin army formed a chasing situation, and the Dragon Wing Army quickly inserted into the gap between the Jin army's rear army and the brigade to lay a line of defense, while the Lion Wing Army detoured to the rear side of the Jin army's rear army to follow.
After receiving the order, the light cavalry of the Hezhong Army and the Hedong Army rushed up immediately. They encountered the Jin army on the front line of Yanshan Mountain. When they saw the Song army attacking, the Jin army's rear commander Wanyan Yulie immediately commanded the three headquarters.
Ten thousand people lined up to meet the enemy. They used Tiefutu as the vanguard to attack the two armies, intending to quickly defeat the Song army and continue the march. Facing the 10 cavalry, a group of Tiefutu connected with each other, they came. The Hezhong Army's military commander
Qu Ru immediately commanded the troops to scatter, turn around and leave. The Jin army was even more proud to chase after the horse.
As the Jin army's heavy cavalry was running, the neat pursuit formation began to scatter. The light cavalry focused on cavalry and shooting, which was closely related to their own equipment. If they fought with another cavalry in close combat, the light cavalry never relied on one-on-one challenge or retreat.
The Song army's light cavalry quickly deviated to both sides and behind the Jin army, surrounded it, and kept firing arrows. The Dragon-Ying Army, which had been deployed in advance, suddenly appeared, blocking the Jin army's heavy cavalry's way, and truly
The battle begins now.
The Song army blocking troops lined up in blocking lines, with motorcycles, rapid-fire cannons and bead guns fired in turn, and fire was sprayed in front of the formation, spreading death. The light cavalry on both wings ran towards Mercedes-Benz on the side of the Jin army, at close range
The Jin army was driven together like a cattle. The hunting scene reappeared again. The Song army's light cavalry were extremely excited and used all their arrows without mercy. It can be summarized.
Sexually speaking, some excellent traditional cavalry have maintained an advantage in informal cavalry for a long time, because informal cavalry mainly requires personal skills.
The Jin army rushed back and forth like a frightened group of beasts in a large net of bows and arrows and bullets, gradually losing the attack spirit, and casualties also increased rapidly. At this time, the Song army's light cavalry and dragon cavalry began to charge, and they were like the same
Sliced the Jin army by hand, and then used the tactic of dispersed encirclement, and attacked while circling around the enemy, constantly shrinking and surrounding until the enemy was dragged to death.
From noon to evening, the two sides of the war were running and fighting on the wasteland within a radius of 100 miles. During the entire battle, the Jin army did not return to the aid, but hurriedly retreated to Juyong Pass, leaving the Song army who was fighting aid to wait.
Field. When the night wind blows, the battlefield becomes quiet. The bonfires are surrounded by tired Song army knights, and the blazing flames reflect their excited faces red. In this battle, the Song army's Western Route Army wiped out the Wu Shuhou Army
Three 10,000 teams cut off one of Wu Shu’s claws…
………
Zhao Qi's plan to attack Yanjing first and then attack reinforcements was implemented with his insistence. Now his words are both imperial edicts and military orders, which can be said to be the highest instruction. Time is tight and the task is heavy. After receiving the orders, the two departments immediately began to implement the implementation and make preparations in full swing.
Before the war, we reconnaissed, made siege equipment, and began to clear the Jin army strongholds outside Yanjing City, and had previously advanced to camp at the five miles below the city.
The Southern Army led by Zhao Lian gathered two armies of General Leopard and General Wolf, plus an artillery reinforcement brigade, with a total of more than 40,000 troops; Zhao Yong's Southern Army had Dragon General, Tiger General and Tiger Wing Army had more than 60,000 cavalry and infantry troops, and
With the assistance of the two prefecture troops in Hebei, the two congregated the five main forces of the Song army, which was strong and powerful. Moreover, the emperor ordered the troops who first attacked the city to be awarded the title of "Yanjing Brigade", the main general was granted the title of marquis, and the heroes of combat were awarded the title of "Yanjing Brigade".
Tian. The imperial edict was thundering in the entire army, and the troops were holding their energy to get to the city first...
Zhao Yong was ordered to attack the north gate of Yanjing City. He led several staff officers and guards in the army to change their clothes and ride horses to conduct close reconnaissance. As the Song army approached the city, all the Jin troops arranged on the periphery had withdrawn to the city and left nowhere outside.
One soldier and one soldier, he was in a position of fighting to the death with the city. Looking at the tall city walls, he was also a little worried. This place is not as good as Qigou Pass, not only the city is high and the pool is deep, but also the number of soldiers and generals is wide, even if it is bombarded with heavy artillery.
It is not possible to break the city in just a few cannons. He rode west along the outside of the city and observed the two city gates in the north. The northwest gate was Kaiyang Gate and had a road running straight to the north and south. If he broke the city like this, he could quickly divide the Jin army guarding the city.
Two parts are annihilated.
At this moment, the sky was bright, and the few people traveling west could already see the top of the towering palace in the city. It was the imperial city of the city. But unlike Bianjing, the imperial city and the outer city share the northwest gate Danfeng Gate. Zhao Yong knew that
This is the core area of Yanjing City, and it must be the place where the Jin army has the most tight defenses. According to the city construction rules, there will be a moat inside the city gate.
"How many gates are there in the palace city besides Danfeng Gate?" Zhao Yong asked Hou Jun, commander of the scout camp beside him.
"The rule of law, after the Khitan obtained Yanjing, it was limited to the old pattern of the Tang and the Five Dynasties Youzhou City. The palaces all faced south, and the southern gate Yuanhe Gate and Qixia Gate were the main gate, but the Khitans were respected in the east, and the inner gate was the east.
The three gates of the city do not open, they only enter and exit from the east gate Xuanhe Gate!" Hou Jun reported.
"Well, did Yaoshi Guo lead troops to attack the city after surrendering to Song, did he attack Yingchun Gate?" Zhao Yong nodded and asked again.
"The rule said it is right, but the four gates of the Yanjing Imperial City only enter and exit from the east gate, so Guo Yaoshi chose to first attack the Yingchun Gate of the southeast gate when he attacked Yanjing City. Because Yingchun Gate is closest to Xuanhe Gate, he captured Yingchun Gate.
It was convenient to directly capture Xuanhe Gate and enter the palace. It was only because Empress Xiao was defending the Xuanhe Gate and Xiao Gan, the king of the Fourth Army, returned to the rescue in time, that the Song army failed to succeed." Hou Jun replied.
"It was also because of Liu Guangshi, a fool. After Guo Yaoshi broke the city, he refused to move forward. Empress Xiao personally climbed Xuanhe Gate and shot arrows to guard it, waiting for the four soldiers to enter the Danfeng Gate in the secret gate of the south, and the inner city
All the gates were opened, and the cavalry emerged and fought in the three cities. The Song army caught off guard and gave up the remaining seven gates that had already occupied. They were forced to withdraw from the city. They failed, but they also led to a crushing defeat in the army." Xu Biao snorted coldly.
"What if we attack Danfeng Sect directly and directly attack the imperial city?" Zhao Yong suddenly asked as he looked at Danfeng Sect.
"This..." Xu Biao hesitated and said, "It's really good to hit the key points and attack his leader, but the imperial city must be well set up tightly. There must be two trenches in Danfeng Gate. It is difficult for siege equipment to pass through the city gate. Then, enter
If the troops in the city cannot advance or retreat, they will be shot and killed by the enemy on the city, and it may be difficult to succeed!"
"But even if we break into the gate from it, we have to pass through the second moat and guard against the side attacks of the Jin army hidden in the imperial city. There are many houses in the city, the terrain is narrow, and the artillery is difficult to spread, so we can only set up ladders to attack the city.
The casualties must be huge!" Zhao Yong analyzed.
"Stone-throwing cart, be careful!" Just as everyone was discussing, it was already dawn, and the Jin army on the city found someone exploring the city, so they launched an attack.
"Damn, do they have this guy?" Zhao Yong and others ran away and hid outside the range before stopping the horse. He cursed hatefully, "Send artillery troops immediately to knock out their throwing stones.
