The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Jinshangjing Road has a total of: one prefecture, namely Huining Prefecture; three prefectures, namely Zhaozhou, Jeju and Xinzhou; five prefectures, namely Puyu Road, Helan Road, Xiangan Road, Hesuguan Road, and Huligai

Road; six counties, namely Huining County, Zhendong County, Yichun County, Shixing County, Lishe County, and Wuchang County. Now Zhaozhou among the three prefectures is lost, and Jeju is also besieged by the Song army in the South Road. The news is cut off.

The laziness and Xiangan Road among the five routes were also trapped in the hands of the Song army. Now the three counties under Huining Prefecture, Yichun, have also been seized, indicating that the Song army has penetrated into the core area of ​​the Jin Dynasty.

After learning that the Song army captured Yichun, the government and the country were shocked. Emperor Wanyan Dan ordered to recruit all the Ding Zhuang on Shangjing Road as an army, and at the same time called on the military and civilians from all over the country to go to Beijing to serve the king. He ordered the deputy commander Wanyan Yanying to be the general manager of the military commander of Shangjing Road, Huining

Tang Kuobian, the Mu of the Prefecture, was appointed as the deputy commander, and his troops were concentrated to quickly eliminate the Jin army that invaded Huining Prefecture and defend the safety of the capital.

Wanyan Qiying was resting on the south bank, and was speeding up the reorganization of the disabled army, strengthening the river defense, and preparing to block the Song army from crossing the river. The scouts who had previously sent inquiries about the news on the other side finally brought the information that everyone was concerned about: the Song army on the north bank had already rested and replenished after the war and was restored after the war.

Going east along the river, everyone was relieved, but soon an imperial edict arrived in the capital. In addition to severe rebukes, it also brought the order that the Song army had captured Yichun and asked him to lead troops to annihilate the Song army.

After receiving the order, Wanyan Qiying did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led his army to the capital, but at this time, the tens of thousands of troops under his command were only less than 70,000. In the bloody night in Zhaozhou, except for the former army, successfully crossing the river.

Only half of the central army was able to cross the river, and the rear army responsible for cover was almost wiped out. They were not killed by the Song army, and were washed away by the surging rivers. Only thousands of people were able to escape, and more than half of the hundreds of thousands of troops were lost.

According to the report of the downstream garrison garrison, the bodies of people rushing down from the upper reaches at Sanchakou blocked the river channel, causing the river to soar several feet. There were countless corpses floating along the river and the water bays, and the scene was terrible. There were as many as tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians along the river salvaged and buried on the shore.

.This battle can be said to have greatly damaged the vitality of the Jin army led by Wanyan Qiying. Everyone was terrified. At that time, on the north bank of Zhaozhou, under the city of Zhaozhou and the banks of the Qiantong River, he surrounded the Song army vanguards on the west road.

There were many opportunities to turn the situation around, but his temporary indecision and everything he wanted made him miss the opportunity to annihilate the enemy.

If you decisively give up Zhaozhou and take the Song army to attack suddenly when crossing the river; in Zhaozhou City, you can encircle and annihilate it with them; even when you withdraw your troops, you regret submitting to the pressure of the court and the authority of the Taishi, if so

After launching the attack first and hitting the Song army hard, you will not suffer such heavy losses. It seems that every opportunity can change the situation and history, but Wanyan Yanying gave up the opportunity himself, so the sky of history will naturally not be favored.

Jin Kingdom.

Under the current situation, Wanyan Yanying can only support her. He dared not expect to completely defeat the Song army's Western Route Army, and knew that this was a basically impossible task. After a command, the 70,000 troops followed the plan as planned

Hurry to the scheduled location to meet with another Jin army led by Pusan ​​Zhongyi, blocking the only way to enter Huining Mansion. However, when Wanyan Yanying led his army to arrive in a row, he did not meet Tang Kuobian, and he also

He did not meet the Song army, but received an order: the Song army suddenly changed lanes in the middle and turned northeast, as if he was going to raid the imperial tomb and let him go to the place where he could protect his ancestors' rest immediately. Tang Kuobianzheng led his army to pursue him.

.

Then the 70,000 troops said goodbye to the capital again. They rushed to Hu Kaishan, where the imperial tomb was located. But when Wanyan Qingying arrived quickly, they found that the Song army's Western Route Army had not arrived yet, but then pursued Tang Kuobin.

After Wanyan Yanying asked, he found out that after crossing the ancient waters of the Song army, he judged that the Song army would attack Zhendong County. When he took the lead in shortcuts to Zhendong, the Song army did not appear. He was worried that the Song army would attack the west.

, and quickly crossed the Hushui River and rushed to Hukai Mountain for defense.

The fighter plane seemed to appear again. Maybe the Song army had just crossed the tiger water and was busy resting! But Tang Kuobian thought the best fighter plane had been lost. If he took the risk, he would be able to get into the air by the floating Song army.

.And that disturbed the emperor's ancestors, no one could afford this crime. Wanyan Qingying naturally did not want to take risks on such a key issue. So the two discussed Hu Kaishan to defend the danger and set up a formation.

It was spread in front of the mountain, and the cavalry was spread behind the mountain. Then quietly waited for the arrival of the Song army...

Compared with the intelligence system of the Jin Kingdom, the intelligence agencies in the Song Dynasty were obviously more complete and efficient. Zhao Li obtained information from the Jin Kingdom in time through the Military Intelligence Department and the Intelligence Department. After Jin Ting learned that he had crossed the river and captured Yichun, he was absolutely fine.

It was not just a magnitude 8 earthquake, but it was a magnitude 8 earthquake. Wanyan Tan urgently summoned all the ministers to discuss matters and wanted to abandon the city to escape the edge of the Song army. The emperor's words made everyone laugh and cry. The Song army was about to run away before they arrived.

How could I fight the war? I tried my best to persuade him for a long time to temporarily give up this idea.

But the emperor did not leave for the time being, which does not mean that the crisis was lifted. Now Huanglong Mansion has been besieged, and Zhao Erzheng led the southern army to attack. The Western army defeated Wanyan Qiying in Zhaozhou and crossed the river from Yichun. Nearly 100,000 enemy troops were away from the capital.

Less than 200 miles, the situation was already extremely dangerous. After urgent consultations between the Taishi Wushu and several important officials, he decided to mobilize all Jurchen men to join the army, and to order Meng'an, the prefectures and the garrisons stationed in various places to go to Beijing to serve the king, and resolutely eliminate the invasion.

Enemy.

After Zhao Li grasped the dynamics of the Jin Dynasty, he also obtained military intelligence from the Jin Dynasty in time. The enemy's commanders, military divisions, and latest trends were all clearly understood. The elites who are now stationed in the capital.

Most of the troops had been transferred by Wanyan Qiying and lost more than half, but they were unable to defeat the Song army by relying on them, so they urgently recruited 80,000 troops and handed them over to the prince-in-law Tang Kuobian to lead the reinforcements.

Maybe Wu Shu also knew that since the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty, the Jin army had suffered consecutive defeats, and the elite troops deployed in the two marshals' offices and each were almost completely lost. At this time, the troops recruited were of varying quality, lacking training, and their combat effectiveness was definitely not good, so they were especially guarded.

The guards in the capital allocated two teams of 10,000 people to give the title "Guard*" and strengthened the Tang Kuobian, gathering a total of 100,000 people. After the two armies joined forces, the total strength of the auxiliary troops reached 200,000.

However, Zhao Li learned that due to the conquests of the Song Dynasty over the years, the Jin Dynasty's horse-raising land was gradually captured, resulting in a serious shortage of war horses and had to requisition and supplementary military horses from the people. After the Song army launched the Northern Expedition, the Jin Dynasty lost a lot of

The war horses exceeded their replenishment capabilities, so they had to reduce their cavalry and increase their infantry. Therefore, almost all the newly recruited troops were organized into infantry, and Wanyan's troops suffered a lot of losses when crossing the river, and the number of cavalry was also large.

To reduce.

Looking at the overall situation, the Jin Dynasty was at an absolute disadvantage. As long as the two armies of the Song army work together and cooperate with each other, the destruction of the Jin Dynasty is just around the corner. As the supreme commander of the Western Route Army, Zhao Li's main goal is to do his best to attract and restrain Na Jin.

The army of the country created the most favorable conditions for the emperor's southern army to attack Huining Prefecture. In a head-on battle with nearly 200,000 Jin troops, Zhao Li, a good student of the emperor, was not that stupid, and this was also a critical moment to test his ability.

.On the one hand, Zhao Li immediately sent a messenger to report to the emperor about the latest progress of the Western Route Army and asked the emperor to advance quickly to Huining; on the other hand, Zhao Li made an amazing move, and he decided to take the initiative to challenge 200,000

The King* team.

Zhao Li knew that in order to take the initiative in the battle, the Song army's cavalry must give full play to the combat advantages of being efficient and mobile. This must be lightly equipped. He left behind the infantry of the Dragon Wing Army and the Tiger Wing Army and the Dragon who needed to cooperate in combat.

The generals guard the baggage and pontoon bridge in Yichun City. The generals, the hunting cavalry and the dragon wings, and the dragon cavalry of the two armies of Lion Wings formed a mobile corps, carrying ten days of food and supplies to attack and annihilate the enemy...

In order to avoid being trapped in the situation of the enemy's two armies, Zhao Li first made an attack on Huining City, mobilized Wanyan Qiying's troops to move closer to Huining, and then suddenly changed the marching road to break the enemy's plan to attack the two sides. And he was

Further mobilize the enemy. Considering that the Jin army may also take the initiative, Zhao Li chose the battlefield in Hu Kaishan, which the enemy must rescue. This is the hometown where the Jurchens became prosperous. A few years ago, Wanyan Tan moved the mausoleum of his grandfather Aguda here.

Later, Wu Qimai and his ancestors' tombs were moved here. The ancestral tombs were scattered not only a great shame for the Wanyan clan, but also a legendary "king spirit" leaked and affected the national destiny. This was unbearable for the Jin Dynasty to bear

Disaster.

Hu Kai Mountain lies across from east to west, facing north to south, the south of the mountain is wide and gentle, but the two sides are raised, and the north of the mountain is steep and steep, natural barrier, looking away, it looks like an equilateral triangle. If you look carefully, it looks like a slightly oblique straw hat. The tiger is pressed in front of the mountain.

At the confluence of the two tributaries of water, streams overflowing between the residual veins spreading from the main peak to the surrounding areas, forming two major sources of east and west, which is indeed an easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Jin army's army was arranged in front of the mountain.

Heshan is occupied by a favorable terrain.

When Zhao Li led his army to the foot of the mountain, he immediately made arrangements, and the entire army spread out horizontally like geese wings. He ordered the hunting cavalry to go around the mountain and attack the cavalry that harassed the Jin Dynasty, and at the same time ordered the dragon cavalry to assault the attack.

The Jin infantry in front of the mountain seemed to have pinched the weaknesses and lifelines of the Jin Dynasty. Although the Jin army was large in number, they lacked cavalry and were afraid to fight against the Song army. They seemed to be satisfied with defending themselves and waiting for work.

Don’t dare to take the initiative to avoid losses!

Zhao Li also knew that he was impossible, and did not expect to win in one battle and eat a fat man in one bite. His purpose was to use his cavalry to make quick maneuvering repeatedly harass and toss the 200,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom, so as to make the 200,000 troops

They were restless day and night until the other party was exhausted, and then they ate the meat and swallowed it in one bite... (To be continued)
