The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

After Zhao Tong established the throne, the last obstacle on the road to personal expedition was eliminated, and everything began to enter the countdown stage. However, the emperor's trip was earth-shattering, let alone a personal expedition, and there were too many unknown factors for this trip, so the preparations became even more complicated.

Cumbersome and lengthy.

The emperor had to leave a housekeeper at home when he went out. This time, Zhao Tong chose Queen Zhu Shuzhen and Queen Mother Zheng Hongmei to jointly supervise the country, while leaving the two former emperors aside. However, this is understandable, as he must be on guard against others.

Ah, what if they two get addicted to officialdom?

, what should I do if I want to have sex for a few more days? The two women are different. One is his wife and the other is his biological mother. They both love him from the bottom of their hearts and will never do anything to betray themselves. I promise

You have peace of mind ahead and don't have to worry about a fire in the backyard.

In fact, Zhu Shuzhen was good at reciting poems and writing poems, but she lacked experience and experience in handling political affairs. Her ability was not as good as that of the imperial concubine Yu Liyan. However, the prince was his son. Although she didn't know it yet, Zhao Tong thought that even if she died, she would still be there.

Those who strongly support their sons to ascend to power can ensure that their "edict" can be carried out smoothly.

Zheng Hongmei, this old lady, is even more remarkable. She has helped Queen Mother Xiang handle the government affairs since she was a palace maid, and she has been through three dynasties. She has never seen anything. She can help her clear the obstacles to her succession in such a dangerous environment, and has been doing so for many years.

Later, he also served as the actual controller of the royal family and acted as the anchor of the sea at critical moments.

Xin Zhao and Zhe Meiluan will accompany him on the expedition. This is not only because they are from the army, they can help him make suggestions and protect him at critical moments, but also to prevent others from being distracted. After all, both of them have certain influence in the court.

, want to take advantage of the emperor

It is not impossible for the emperor to cause trouble in his absence. Yu Liyan and Li Xiaoxiao are different. They have a shallow foundation in the court. They are powerless to cause trouble. Moreover, they can stabilize the Khitan and Xixia in the court, so as not to

Add unnecessary trouble to yourself.

The ministers who stayed behind in the DPRK were also very important. They not only had to deal with the daily affairs of the country, but also ensured the stability of the DPRK, provided food and supplies for the front line, and sent officials to take over the newly occupied land. And if they died, they would be the ones to take care of them.

The ministers are ordered to ensure the smooth handover and transition of power and avoid turmoil. At the same time, they must assist the new ruler in handling government affairs and teach him how to govern the country.

The most suitable person for this job now is Li Gang. He has assisted two emperors in ascending to the throne and has rich experience in this area. He has always been prestigious in the court and can take on this important task. The other candidate is Zhao Ren. Apart from himself, he is also the most suitable person for this job.

He can control the arrogant and powerful generals in the past. At the same time, his loyalty is unquestionable. He will carry out his orders to the letter and leave him to look after the house. It is a pity that they cannot be with him.

Let’s witness together the great moment of the destruction of the Jin Kingdom.

Zhao Tong will act with the North Road in the early stages of the war. He sent Zhao Lian and the advance team to Pingzhou to join Gao Chong to establish the forward headquarters. At the same time, he ordered the Leopard Wing Army to board the ship in Quanzhou and be escorted by the navy to move north by sea.

.The river fleet to which he belongs moves north along the canal; the Mingzhou and Haizhou naval forces assemble towards Dengzhou; the Tiger General, Leopard General and Wolf General each leave two brigades of troops to defend the capital.

, to train new soldiers, the remaining troops marched towards Yanjing; the Lion Wing, Leopard Wing, and Zhongyong armies quietly marched towards Pingzhou; the Guards left four brigades to guard the imperial city, and the remaining troops all accompanied the emperor on the expedition and served as camp guard troops and strategic reserves.

.In this expedition, Zhao Tong mobilized almost all the elites of the Song Dynasty. He wanted to use the power of thunder to give the Jin Kingdom a fatal blow and completely eliminate it...

…………

When the emperor was busy arranging his funeral arrangements and mobilizing troops to prepare for his own expedition, Ningbian Fort also launched the first war after the conflict between the two countries. Although it was early spring in Bianjing, the ground was still freezing and the weather was freezing. And the battlefield

But

There was a heated scene, and the artillery of the Song Army was constantly bombarding the fort. The soldiers did not take the opportunity to launch an siege, but they were laboriously digging a deep trench. They used blasting to remove the thick layer of frozen soil, and then moved towards the fort.

Dig deep.

"Tongjun, what are the Song troops doing?" Meng Anxidali of Ningbian Fort asked Wanyan Yulie beside him. Now both of them were lying on the earthen ramparts beside the boundary trench, observing the Song troops' actions.

"They are digging trenches, can't you see?" Wanyan Yulie said angrily. In the past two days, the Song army did not launch a fierce siege as he imagined, but instead used artillery to continuously bombard the trenches they had set up.

The trebuchet position at the back was used to place the trebuchets and the earth platform and was destroyed together. Fortunately, he learned from the experience under Pyongyang City and did not put out all the trebuchets, otherwise not a single one would be left.

.

"Commander the army, they should fill in the trenches. What is the purpose of digging the trenches? Do they want to besiege us!" Xida Li did not see Wanyan Yulie's impatience and asked ignorantly.

"Do you think the Song people are as stupid as you? They dug trenches to surround us. How can we be trapped? You can imagine it!" Wanyan Yulie didn't actually understand why the Song army dug trenches, but he knew it was definitely not the case.

In order to besiege them, this is not an isolated fortress. If it were not for the fear of being caught by the Song Army's lookout post on the watch car,

I found that he really wanted to stand up and kick him. In the past few days, the Song Army became more and more courageous. They kept approaching the front of the fort and specifically attacked the ambushes on their own trenches. I don’t know how many soldiers died in the cold artillery fire of the Song Army.

When it fell, everyone was so frightened that they hid behind the earthen barrier during the day and did not dare to venture out, and they did not dare to raise fire at night.

"Commander, look at the trench dug by the Song Army. One end leads to the Hun River, and the other end extends to our boundary trench. Are they going to flood the city?"

Asked, but in the form of self-questioning and answering.

"Flooding the city with water, you are really stupid. Our earthen fortress is two feet higher than the Hun River. Can the water come over? If we just turn our boundary trench into a moat, then we can only..." Wanyan

Yu Lie gave this stupid subordinate a slap in the face, but he suddenly thought of something and suddenly stopped and shouted, "Order the archers to fire arrows, and we must not let them dig through the boundary trench!"

Although Xidali didn't know what the wind was about, his mind became more flexible after being scratched. Without further words, he immediately mobilized the archers hidden behind the boundary trench to shoot arrows at the Song army digging the trench. For a moment, the arrows were like

When the rain fell, the Song Army immediately dropped their tools and fled, but some people were injured by the stray arrows. The Song Army's artillery also immediately opened fire at them, and the archers hurriedly evaded...

"Commander the army, the archers can't stand it anymore!" Xidali said to Wanyan Yulie with a mournful face. After the two sides exchanged shots, the two sides began to hide and seek. Whoever showed his head would be beaten. Of course, there was a generational difference in the weapons of the Jin army.

The price was a bit high, but the Song army was forced to slow down the trench digging speed.

"Those who disobey orders and those who are timid will be killed!" Wanyan Yulie said viciously. He had already understood the Song army's attempt to dig trenches.

The boundary trench is more than ten feet deep and ten feet wide. It took a lot of effort to dig it, and of course it was also very laborious to fill it up. The Song army was trying to find a way to dig an artificial river to divert river water into the boundary trench.

The weather is still very cold now, and the river will freeze solid in just two days. But if you pass the people and horses, the trench will lose its role in blocking the enemy cavalry, and you can reach directly under the trench wall. By then, not just a few archers will die.

, but had to directly face the fierce attack of the Song army.

Wanyan Yulie knew that without the obstruction of trenches, he could not stop the Song army's attack at all, so he stopped the Song army from digging trenches at all costs. In addition to using archers to kill enemy soldiers, he also used trebuchets in advance to attack them.

They bombarded the river digging construction site to hinder the Song army's construction, and used the few cavalry troops they had to venture out of the stronghold to drive away the Song army. They even secretly sent soldiers at night to fill in the riverbed dug by the Song army during the day. It can be said that they exhausted their efforts...

After being "taught a lesson" by the emperor, the Song Army began to sum up their experience. After discussion, they believed that the most difficult stages of the attack were crossing the river and crossing the trench. At this time, it was difficult to deploy troops due to terrain restrictions, and artillery was unable to provide effective support.

Moreover, it is difficult to transport large siege equipment through pontoon bridges, and it is also technically very difficult to manufacture a vehicle bridge that is more than ten feet long. If the trench filling project is too large and cannot be completed in a short time, soldiers will be easily killed and injured by the enemy.

But these two most difficult problems were easily solved after the Privy Council delegated the power to formulate detailed combat plans. Zheng Ping and others requested that the attack launch time be advanced from the planned April to before the weather gets warmer. Ice-covered

The river surface allowed the army to move freely, and using the river water to fill the trenches eliminated the troublesome task of filling them. All they had to do was dig a 300-step-long canal.

During the military exercise, Zheng Ping knew that half of the reason for his failure was that in the early stages of the war, his artillery as support fire was destroyed by the emperor using trebuchets. Therefore, he thought that in order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy, he must first destroy the enemy's artillery.

trebuchet, or limit the display of its firepower, causing the enemy to lose long-range fire support.

Zheng Ping handed over this task to Cao Yi, commander of the 1st Artillery Brigade. After reconnaissance, he found that the enemy's heavy trebuchets were all deployed in the fort, hidden behind the earthen forts. However, the range of the large-caliber mortars equipped by the artillery brigade could completely cover the fort.

Everywhere inside. And all they need is

Set up observation posts and destroy them one by one, or use concentrated firepower to destroy the enemy's firing positions. If the enemy's long-range weapons are destroyed, the Song Army's rapid-fire artillery can be safely and boldly deployed at the front to provide engineers with

Provide cover.

With a complete plan, the Song Army relied on the powerful firepower of the artillery to crush the Jin Army's obstruction, and dug the ditch step by step. And with a loud noise, the frozen Talu River embankment was exploded

A hole was made, and the river water flowing under the ice spurted out and flowed continuously into the trench... (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
