The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

The lively celebration has ended, and the aftermath has not yet subsided. The anti-Jin sentiment in the Song Dynasty is spreading. Many people wrote letters to demand the Northern Expedition to repay the blood debt... This is exactly what Zhao Qi needs. Twenty years have passed, and the year

The tragic situation has become very blurred in the memories of the new generation, and gradually fades away, as if it is a very far away from me. The old story is brought back to the young people, and remember that the Jurchens once brought the Song Dynasty.

The disaster that comes will build momentum for the next step of military operations and provide public opinion support.

After the noise, the military operation also entered the implementation stage from the preparation stage. Zhao Qiong convened the generals and relevant departments to formulate combat plans. The special combat brigade and the scouts of the army deployed at the forefront also carried out secret reconnaissance under the unified dispatch of the Military Intelligence Department.

A detailed investigation of various sections of the defense lines and cities of the Jin Dynasty was conducted to clarify the garrison and weapon configuration of the enemy's troops, and to provide first-hand information for the formulation of combat plans.

"I thought we should use a multi-way attack to attack together. Our Song Dynasty has occupied important places around the Jin Kingdom. Our army has sufficient troops. We can launch an attack at the same time from Dading Prefecture, Yanjing Prefecture, Goryeo and the sea. Finally, we will join forces.

At the city of Huining, launch the final attack on the enemy!" Lieutenant General Xing Yun gathered to discuss the Northern Expedition plan, and Privy Councilor Zhao Yong spoke.

"Brother Yong, multiple attacks will lead to dispersion of troops and weak attacks, which can easily become a protracted war. Once blocked, it will affect the war. This is inconsistent with the principle of quick battle and quick decision we have formulated!" Deputy Du Yuhou Zhao Lian

Oppositions were raised.

"Brother Lian, the Jin army is now setting up defenses everywhere, resulting in weak forces. As long as we break through all the way, it will cause the collapse of the entire outer defense line of the Jin army, forcing them to give up and set up boundary trenches to retreat to the city. They will give other armies a lot of troops.

Provide fighter jets to go deeper!" Zhao Yong explained. He still insisted on multi-way attacks.

"If the troops are concentrated to attack one after another, the two wings also need a large number of troops to cover it. Otherwise, once the attack speed is too fast, you will fall into the danger of a heavy siege; but if the front line is opened, you must attack the city and the village, and encounter a strong situation.

After a long time, the city could not conquer, it had to stop the attack on the entire line, resulting in a slow advancement speed for the enemy to build a second line of defense and dispatch troops!" Zhao Li listened to the two's argument and expressed his own opinions.

"Don't forget that multi-way offenses will inevitably require multiple-way replenishment, which will put great pressure on logistics. As the front line grows and deepens, replenishment will be more difficult. The flat push of the front line can alleviate the pressure of replenishment.

.It can also effectively prevent the enemy from raiding!" Zhao Zhi interrupted, reminding them that they should not fight easily in battles, but also consider their difficulties.

"Well, at the beginning of the battle, we were backing our backs and we could not consider the issue of supply. After going deep into the enemy's territory, food and grass could be replenished by seizure, but weapons and ammunition had to be transported long distances. If cut off, it would affect the course of the battle.

The problem must be taken seriously!" Zhao Yong immediately realized that there were flaws in his plan and nodded and said.

"We can choose to start the battle in spring, when the grass sprouts, which can solve the problem of horse grass and reduce the pressure on logistics supply!" Zhao Meng said after thinking about it.

"Shame brother, have you ever thought about it? The problem of horse grass has been solved. But Liaodong and western Liaoning rivers are crisscrossing, and when the glaciers come to thaw in spring, how can we maneuver quickly? As long as the enemy controls the ferry and demolishes the bridge, it can effectively stagnate.

Our attack. It's not worth the loss!" Zhao Yong once led his troops into Liaodong, and knew very well that the rivers caused the obstacles to the army's attack. Wu Shu also used the glacier to escape.

"You can't have both fish and bear's paws. It's difficult to lose one or the other!" Zhao Meng scratched his scalp twice and said in frustration. In the past, the emperor often made a battle plan, and he never saw him so worried.

"Although we need to consider from many aspects to formulate a combat plan, what is the most important thing?" Zhao Ren did not express his opinion, but listened to their arguments and said when he saw the cold.

"Of course it is to achieve the combat goal!" Zhao Lian said without hesitation.

"Okay, then what is the purpose of our battle this time?" Zhao Ren asked again.

"The purpose of our Northern Expedition is to annihilate the main force of the Jin army, capture Huining and capture the enemy chief, and occupy the entire territory!" Zhao Yong replied immediately, this was determined by the emperor long ago.

"Well, then our combat operations must be completed around these three goals, and these three goals are complementary. Only by first dealing with the enemy with severe damage can the troops come to the meeting and the enemy chiefs submit to the Jin Kingdom. Therefore, our

The combat operation cannot be achieved overnight, and the outcome will be determined in one battle, but it must be carried out gradually. The first thing to consider is how to annihilate the main force of the Jin army from the periphery, so that they cannot return to Huining, laying the foundation for the next battle!

"Zhao Renyan said that he is worthy of being a versatile talent trained by the emperor since childhood, and his experience in the Privy Council Monks' Monks has made him consider issues more comprehensively and rationally and do things in an orderly manner.

"Ren Ge'er makes sense. Our first step is to annihilate most of the Jin army's forces and weaken its defense of Huining." Zhao Yong nodded first and said, "But it is not easy to achieve this goal, the Jin army is now

Rebuild the left and right Marshal's Office, and place most of the troops in the west and south to defend against our attack. But as long as we break one of them, they can quickly shrink the defense line and abandon the boundary trenches that have lost their function, and establish the second

The road defense line is fully defensive to the capital."

"Well, if you want to annihilate the main force of the Jin army outside the capital, you must cut off their way back to Huining, divide them, annihilate them one by one, and then attack Huining with all your strength!" Gao Chong expressed his own opinions.

"Then we can use two attacks to support each other. First defeat the enemy and quickly advance to Huining City, while the other moves from the initial feint attack to the main attack. However, the enemy's rear route was cut off, and the capital city was

If we are surrounded, we must have no fighting spirit, or we will try our best to return to the army to rescue the capital, then we can take advantage of the situation to launch a general attack and annihilate the enemy in pursuit!" Zhao Liyan said.

"Li Ge'er, if the enemy troops return to the capital, they will definitely leave their troops behind and use the strong city and rivers to block them layer by layer. If their main force cannot be annihilated, the enemy will use the reinforcements and the troops who defend the capital to attack inside and outside.

Our army besieged troops, but the other side was unable to make rapid reinforcements under the enemy's attack. Once the troops were defeated, they would collapse on the whole line!" Zhao Yong thought for a while and said, but he still thought it was inappropriate.

"Hmph, since we can attack Huining Mansion City, why not just capture it and then attack the enemy troops back to defend in two directions!" Zhao Meng said impatiently when he saw that everyone was arguing.

"Huining Mansion is the capital of the Jin Kingdom. It has tight defenses and may not be able to capture it in a short time. When the army of kings from all directions arrives, it will become a pot of raw rice. I am afraid that it will choke to death when the time comes!" Zhao Yong was not polite and did not hesitate to do so.

Say.

"Oh, it's really troublesome. Solving one problem and another has a problem. I don't know how Your Majesty planned it back then. Every battle was completely settled!" Zhao Xiao couldn't interfere for a while, and the planning was not his strength.

Can't help but sigh.

"At that time, His Majesty often thought all night before the war, and it was difficult to fall asleep. Every possible problem must be considered. How to remedy the problem if it happened. Only when you figure it out and think it through, will you make up your mind to fight.

So it is normal for us to argue. It is much better than having problems when fighting but having no choice but to do anything!" Zhao Ren saw that everyone was a little impatient and comforted everyone...

Under Zhao Ren's consolation, everyone sat down again and discussed again. After many days of additions and revisions, they finally drafted a draft for the Northern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom, and handed it to the emperor's desk for his opinion.

"Zhao Yong, how do you consider setting the day of the battle in April?" Zhao Qiong carefully studied the combat plan and summoned everyone to the command center set up in Genyuan to inquire about relevant questions.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates consider it from two aspects. April is the time when spring grass sprouts. We can launch an attack at this time to grazle on the spot to reduce the pressure on logistics supply; in addition, most of our soldiers are from the Central Plains that are not withstand the bitter cold in Liaodong.

When the weather gets warmer, it can reduce epidemics and facilitate combat!" Zhao Yong replied.

"Well, there is some reason. Are you planning to launch an attack at the same time between the two routes west and the south?" Zhao Qi asked again.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The two groups launched an attack at the same time, making it impossible for the Jin army to support each other, and they can defeat each other!" Zhao Yong replied respectfully, but he wondered why the emperor had to ask again.

"Well, your two attacks are trying to restrain the enemies of the two commanders' offices on the left and right of the Jin army. Then, after breaking through the border, the western route attacks Huining Mansion, and then besiege the city and attack aid wait for the southern route army to meet and launch a general attack!" Zhao Zhen clicked the spotlight and clicked the city to attack the city and attack the aid of the southern route army.

Head asked Zhao Yong for confirmation again.

"Yes, when the Left General of the Jin army learned that our Western Route Army reached Huining Mansion, he would be panicked and hurriedly retreated to help. We can take the opportunity to cover up and kill the enemy on the way to pursue! Is there anything wrong with Your Majesty?

"Zhao Yong was a little guilty when asked by the emperor and said uneasy.

"Look, Taizhou on the western border of the Jin army is less than 700 miles away from Huining Prefecture, and there is only a big city in Changchun Prefecture on the way. Could it be that the Jin army is a fool who would not expect that we will launch an attack here and can easily let you run all the way.

Go to Huining Mansion to show off your power?" Zhao Qiong said with a smile.

"Okay, even if you easily break through the boundary moat and enter the heartland of the Jin Kingdom and approach Huining Prefecture. But there is only one big road in the south to reach Huining Prefecture, and there are more than ten cities of all sizes and sizes on the way, including Jinzhou Prefecture, Liaoyang Prefecture, Tongzhou, and Huanglong.

There are several strong cities in the palace. If I were Wu Shu, I would never give up so many cities without guarding them, and let them go back to Hui Ning. As long as he blocked our south, he would just need to stick to the city and calmly mobilize troops to cut off our supply line.

, and then encircle and annihilate the exhausted army on the western route." Zhao Qi's face changed and said... (To be continued...)
