The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Zhao Tong knew that in order to change the current situation of the New Army, he must undergo spiritual transformation, ignite their originally dim souls, and burn a raging fire. This is the fire of hope to build a future paradise on earth, and it is also the source of hatred between nations.

Fire, this fire will be extremely violent and invincible. But Zhao Tong also knows that once the fire starts, it will easily get out of control. This requires correct guidance to prevent the fire from burning himself.

In order to cooperate with this new army reorganization movement, Zhao Tong first modified the slogan of the Krug Army, "The Han people in the world are one family," and added the sentence, "National unity, jointly resist foreign humiliation." Then he summoned the Krug Army and Dezhou

The city’s mid-level and senior officials mobilized and prepared necessary

Training to let them first understand the necessity and urgency of doing so. At the same time, we must seize the opportunity to reorganize the new army and integrate them into the Krug army sequence, at least in name so that they feel that they are no longer inferior.

, and then gradually improve their treatment.

In order to ensure that the transformed new army can truly be in his own hands, Zhao Tong warned everyone that in the process of reorganizing the army, veterans of the past loyal and brave armies should take the lead, carefully screen the troops, and pay attention to the ideological tendencies of the troops. Among them, the activists must

give prize

Motivate and promote them to become the backbone of the army, thus leading to a change in the atmosphere of the entire army. Furthermore, do not use coercive means to prevent changes, welcome those who are willing to join the Krug Army, pay travel expenses to those who want to leave, and follow the policy of elite troops.

It’s better to be sparing than to abuse!

After the training is completed, the Krupp Army's establishment will be expanded. The existing brigades have reached their full strength of 5,000 men. Each brigade will have two battalions of hussars and two battalions of dragoons, plus one battalion of dragoons. Considering the current situation

The remaining personnel will form two to three brigades, and they will still use cold weapons to fight. They are mainly responsible for guarding the city, maintaining internal security, and coordinating the main operations.

While reorganizing the army, we must also stabilize the people. In a country dominated by farmers and herdsmen, allocating land is the fastest and most effective way. This task was handed over to Qiao Kun, who had to complete the land registration and population before spring plowing began.

Statistical work, and then allocate farming on a family basis, and then levy taxes according to the allocated land area. Improve your own financial system to form a virtuous cycle, gradually get rid of the situation where everything is supported by the Fuzhong, and reduce the financial pressure on the Fuzhong...

Ever since Zhao Tong came to this world, he has had a feeling that time is not waiting for me, and he always feels that there is not enough time. Even if he runs forward every day, he still cannot keep up with the pace of time. Every day when he opens his eyes, all kinds of troubles come to his door, and he rushes to the city.

He couldn't drive him away. He spent three days arranging the arrangements for the army and the people in Texas, but before he could take a breath, the urgent report was delivered to his desk again.

"Your Majesty, the troops defending Bailang Valley relied on difficult terrain to resist the Jin army's attack. Now the Jin army suddenly divided into two groups and continued to attack the pass. The other group of infantry crossed the Baidao Ban and tried to outflank our army!" Zhao Yong pointed.

Map said to the prince, "Once the Jin army forms an encirclement, our army will be trapped in a tight siege. Not only will they face the risk of being completely annihilated, but if the Jin army breaks through the front line of Liangcheng, it will enter the hinterland of Dezhou."

"Well, where are Wanyan Zonghan's troops now?" Zhao Tong looked at the map and asked Li Jun beside him. As a member of the advance team, he had already arrived in Dezhou to provide intelligence support for the prince.

"It is reported that Wanyan Zonghan's troops led troops from Bei'an Prefecture to rescue ten days ago. After leaving Zhongjing Road, they suddenly accelerated their marching speed, marching at a speed of two hundred miles per day. Now they have entered Fengsheng Prefecture. If this situation remains

At this speed, we can reach Xijing in five days." Li Jun found the location of Fengsheng Prefecture on the map and pointed it out to the prince.

"Where are Li Liangfu's troops aiding the Liao now?" Zhao Tong asked again.

"Your Majesty, Li Liangfu's 30,000-strong army has arrived in Dongsheng Prefecture and is on its way to Shuozhou!" Li Jun replied.

"Once he was bitten by snakes and feared well ropes for ten years, Li Liangfu was afraid of being beaten by the Jurchens. At this rate, by the time he arrives in Xijing, the day lily will be cold, and it seems that he will not be able to contain Wanyan Xie!" Zhao Tao!

He touched the beard on his chin and said. He didn't know whether he lacked male hormones or had bad genetics, so his beard grew sparsely. "Have the states around Xijing sent reinforcements now?"

"After Xijing stayed behind and sent out the message, there were very few people who responded. Only Geng Shouzhong, the commander of the Liao Zhang National Army, was ready to lead the reinforcements. Furthermore, Yuanzhou considered that most of the Xiao clan was in Xijing and agreed to send troops. However, if Wanyan Zonghan's troops marched into Xijing, it would not be possible.

Go Yin

Yuanzhou is the first to bear the brunt of the mountain road. I'm afraid it can't protect itself. It's just empty talk to help Xijing!" Li Jun looked at the prince's expression and said carefully. Now he is cautious every time he mentions Yuanzhou, lest the prince discover the secret in his heart.

'.

"Your Majesty, the battle situation is very unfavorable for us. Should we also move the fourth brigade up to block the enemy's infantry and prevent us from being attacked from both sides?" Zhao Yong suggested when he saw that the prince just looked at the map in silence for a long time after hearing the report.

"Only by adapting to changes can we find a way out. With passive defense, the territory will only become smaller and smaller. Only by annihilating an enemy and forcing them to retreat can we stabilize our base. Now we also need a victory to boost morale and cooperate with us."

Reorganize the army!" Zhao Tong shook his head and rejected Zhao Yong's suggestion.

"Your Majesty, our current Krug army has less than 7,000 combatable troops, and the defense is still stretched. However, the enemy has 40,000 troops. How can we do it?" Zhao Yong was surprised when he heard this.

That's what he said boldly, the first brigade and the second brigade

Now the actual strength is only half. The third brigade has been fighting for many days. Only the fourth brigade is fully organized. However, the fourth brigade has always been the weakest brigade in the Krug army. It has always been responsible for maintaining communication lines and has never experienced a major war.

Lack of field experience.

"Seven thousand people are enough! If the Jin army rolls forward in a group, it will be really difficult for us to deal with it. But now the enemy forces are divided into two groups and try to encircle our army. The two groups of people will definitely distance themselves. If we suddenly take the initiative to withdraw now,

Get out of Bailang Valley and clear the road. The enemy's frontal attack will definitely send light cavalry to pursue them. If the troops are scattered again, we will attack their group!" Zhao Tong said.

"Your Majesty, once we retreat to make way for the main road, and the enemy troops enter the hinterland of Texas, there is no danger for us to defend. If we cannot quickly annihilate the advancing enemy troops, their follow-up reinforcements will arrive one after another, and we will be even more passive. We can only

We will defend Dezhou City!" Although Zhao Yong admired the boldness of the prince's plan, he was also worried.

"Your worries are not unreasonable. We do not have the advantage in terms of military strength. If we fight hard, we will definitely suffer losses. Therefore, I plan to set up the battlefield here to lure the enemy's forward to Shixiagou. At the same time, I will send a light force to contain the enemy.

The rear army, hold him back, and after we wipe out the enemy's forward, we can return to the army and fight again!" Zhao Tong said with a smile, he knew very well that a group

The success of an organization not only relies on the wisdom and talent of the leader, but most of the success also depends on the followers around the leader and their continuous progress. After a year of fighting alone, Zhao Yong has been tempered and is no longer just a

A brave general, he is now beginning to consider the overall situation, which is exactly what he wants to see.

"Your Majesty, isn't this battle too risky?" Zhao Yong still felt that doing so was a bit of a gamble, so he reluctantly advised.

Zhao Tong smiled and did not answer, but his attitude had already stated that this battle must be fought. The opportunity to fight is fleeting. If a decent annihilation battle is not fought now, when the mobilization of Wanyan Zonghan's army is completed, the situation on the Xijing battlefield will be even worse.

It is very likely that the strategic goal of preserving Datong will not be achieved, so although this battle is risky, it is worth fighting. Only in this way can we achieve the initiative and trap the enemy in a state of exhaustion and poverty.

...

The next day, Zhao Tong left four brigades and one battalion to guard Dezhou City, and personally led the reinforcements to the front line.

At this moment, Zhao Tong was hiding in the army. Not many people knew his true identity. However, many officers in the Krug army were from the Prince's Guards Battalion. When they saw their former companions suddenly appear, although they did not see the Prince, they

But they all understand what this means. Everyone who has been around the prince knows that the prince is the person who protects the shortcomings the most. Now that the Krug army has suffered heavy casualties from the Jurchens, the prince has come to avenge them...

After driving all the way in the afternoon, he arrived at Shixiagou near Liangcheng. In order to cover up people's eyes and ears, he took advantage of the team's rest and quietly left the team with a few guards and entered the mountains. Shixiagou is at the southern foot of Manhan Mountain, Liangcheng

Northwest, stuck on the road leading to Texas. Here are huge rocks, deep valleys, narrow roads, and dangerous terrain. It can be said to be a strategic location. There have been incidents here.

After a great war, Tuoba Gui of the Northern Wei Dynasty defeated the Hou Yan army, which established its important position in the long-term confrontation between the northern and southern regimes in our history. The magnificent scenes of the iron horse conquering the dust and the flying golden swords have long been lost in the smoke and dust of history.

No trace could be seen in the middle. Zhao Tong climbed to the main peak of Manhan Mountain and looked over. He was preparing to attack the Jin army here.

Raid warfare is a tactic with the least losses and the greatest results. Even if it cannot annihilate all the enemies, it can still annihilate most of the enemies. This is the most appropriate tactic for the Krupp army, which is at a disadvantage and needs a battle to reverse the situation.

.Which road to ambush, how to deploy, and how to allocate troops all need to be considered by Zhao Tao. He carefully surveyed each

Where to set up an ambush, where to place the troops, where to place the machine gun positions, and where to place the reserves for support... He even rode back and forth on the road twice to calculate the enemy's marching speed, and made a mistake

All of them may lead to the failure of the battle, but the current Krug army cannot bear such a failure, and he cannot help but be careless.

By the time the reconnaissance was over, it was already sunset, and the blood-like setting sun was shining on the mountains. Zhao Tong's face darkened. Tomorrow the blood would dye this place red again, and the endless fighting would take away many lives...
