Chapter 1026 Battle of Jinghu
There was a dispute within the peasant army over whether to take the initiative to attack.

Some people support Lu Chengren's view, and feel that it is very dangerous to attack rashly.

And Xu Tong's view is completely different.

"I think we can't belittle ourselves and look down on ourselves. As far as I know, the [-] Song troops in the Jinghu area, in addition to the [-] in Xiangyang, are basically recruits, all from the Lin'an court. Just recruited and established.

In terms of combat effectiveness, can these armies that are going to the battlefield without months of training be stronger than us?We may still have some difficulty comparing the [-] Song army in Xiangyang, but if the opponent is the enemy of Jiujiang and the enemy of Ezhou, I think our army will win! "

Lu Chengren was dissatisfied with this.

"And after that? After winning? Are we taking advantage of the situation to occupy the Jiujiang and Ezhou areas, or will we retreat? What should we do if the enemy of Xiangyang goes south? What if Song Ting continues to dispatch more elite troops to attack?"

Xu Tong smiled.

"Once it is defeated, it will be occupied. What's wrong with it? The people of the Southern Song Dynasty have been suffering from the tyranny of the Song Dynasty for a long time, and they are just waiting for us to go and liberate them. The enemy in Xiangyang has more than enough to protect itself, and it is difficult to make progress. The Henan Corps is not a decoration.

As for a more elite army, does he have one?Don't say he doesn't have it, even if he does, the Henan Corps can't act as a deterrent, so are we helpless?Earlier when we only had 2 or [-] people, we could still defeat their army of [-] to [-], let alone now? "

Lu Chengren was still uneasy.

"It's not that I don't understand what you said at this time, but this is a period of life and death, we shoulder the expectations of the people of the Kyushu region, and we can't act recklessly. We are no longer in Luoxiao Mountain, and we need to think about it. more and more comprehensive.”

Xu Tong shook his head.

"Then we shouldn't wait for the Song army to attack us, but we should fight to create a new situation and give Song Ting a headache. Let them fight with us instead of us fighting with them. The initiative in the war is taken. , you can't hand it over to others!"

Xu Tong's attitude was very firm, while Lu Chengren was more shaken. In the dispute between the two views, Xu Tong gradually gained the upper hand.

The final decision is naturally in Zhao Yucheng's hands.

Facing a brand new situation, Zhao Yucheng wanted to open up a brand new situation, so that the Southern Song Dynasty would fall into a strategic passive position, and could not take the initiative to attack at will. Now Xu Tong's firmness gave him confidence.

"The reason why we are in danger is that we are fighting alone against the enemy on all sides, and the reason why we are fighting alone to fight back against the enemy is because we cannot truly connect with the Ming Kingdom, and for a long time we can only rely on secret contact to obtain help.

Because of the Yellow River Project, our Daming Kingdom itself cannot launch a full-scale southward offensive, so we cannot take the initiative to come down south to find us for the time being, but Daming Kingdom can’t come, we can go, why don’t we take the initiative to find Daming Kingdom? "

Zhao Yucheng's statement surprised many people.

But he was quite a bit of an unstoppable stance.

"Since we have decided to take the initiative to attack, why don't we make a big one. I propose that we concentrate our main force to attack the Ezhou area, defeat the Ezhou army in the Southern Song Dynasty, and then take advantage of the victory to go north!
Our army can take advantage of the fact that the Xiangyang army is unprepared, defeat the Xiangyang army in one fell swoop, and capture Xiangyang. From then on, the area controlled by our army is directly connected with Henan Province!indestructible! "

Zhao Yucheng drew a line on the map, a line from Nanchang to Jiujiang, then to Ezhou, and then to Xiangyang.

Along this line, the peasant army needs to defeat the Jiujiang army, the Ezhou army and the Xiangyang army one after another, and completely destroy the main force in the Jinghu theater of the Southern Song Dynasty, so as to successfully open the passage to Henan and join forces with the Henan Corps in victory.

As long as this channel is opened, all problems will be solved easily.

The Henan Corps will never let the Southern Song Dynasty continue to threaten the Liberated Areas of the Peasant Army, and their task will basically be completed by then.

More importantly, the Southern Song Dynasty will be cut off in a true sense from now on.

From now on, the Jianghuai Theater will not be able to form any alliance with the Chuanshu Theater, and the Yangtze River waterway can no longer be used by them. The two sides will usher in a substantial separation, unless they go south and use the sea to communicate with each other - the cost is too high.

In this way, it will be much less difficult for the Ming army to go south in the future.

This is a plan to completely push the Southern Song Dynasty into a strategic impasse, and this is a plan to completely end the Southern Song Dynasty's national fortunes.

The key point of all this is whether the peasant army can launch an attack quickly and smoothly, and before the arrival of the new general of the Xiangyang army, Wang Yan, the Xiangyang army is actually a leaderless state to carry out a devastating blow to the Xiangyang army.

If you want to do this, it may be slightly insufficient to rely on the peasant army, so you may need the help of the Henan Corps.

It is not only necessary to inform the Henan Corps, but the key is to get the support of Su Yonglin, so that Su Yonglin orders it to the Henan Corps, so that the Henan Corps assists the peasant army and initiates this [Battle of Jinghu].

While Zhao Yucheng was preparing intensively, he quickly sent news to Su Yonglin and Zhang Yuejing through secret channels.

Zhang Yuejing got the news of Zhao Yucheng four days later. After some research, he was quite interested in this bold plan. At the same time, he also realized that once the plan was successful, it would directly kill the Southern Song Dynasty in two parts, causing the Southern Song Dynasty to bleed heavily. Not long to live.

If the Henan Corps needs to be dispatched, of course, it needs the permission of Su Yonglin and the General Staff.

So he quickly sent a message to Zhongdu to let Su Yonglin know about this matter and his supportive attitude.

Su Yonglin got news about Zhao Yucheng and Zhang Yuejing almost at the same time. Su Yonglin thought about the plans of these two people and gave permission.

Although it is not the official plan time for Song Song, but the plan can't keep up with the changes. He never expects the world to change according to his wishes, so he has always reserved the emergency maneuvering power to deal with emergencies.

Now is the time when that power comes into play.

Since the Jinghu Theater in the Southern Song Dynasty has been so rotten at this moment, it is really inappropriate not to bleed him.

Xiangyang is indeed a strong city in the world, and there are elite troops stationed there. The peasant army who has just formed an army may be able to cut off the retreat of the Song army in Xiangyang, but it may be insufficient to win it head-on.

Therefore, the dispatch of the Henan Corps is almost inevitable.

Since the Henan Corps is going to be dispatched...

Might as well let the Shenji Camp also dispatch.

Isn't a fortified city of the level of Xiangyang the best place to use the Great General Cannon?
Because Guanzhong and Xixia have no decent enemies, although Shenji Camp has experienced more than a dozen battles since its establishment, it has only dispatched chariot and cavalry general artillery. .

The Great General Artillery was originally prepared for a fortified city like Xiangyang.

Although the Song army worked hard to manage Xiangyang, Xiangyang was indeed hard enough. The Mongolians who swept the world were blocked by Xiangyang for many years, but Xiangyang was also a city after all. It was a city, and it was possible to be captured.

Not to mention, this is a weapon that spans the ages.

Su Yonglin didn't hesitate. He knew that the soldiers were very fast. After receiving the news, he immediately approved it, and immediately asked the General Staff to convey instructions to the Henan Corps at an expedited speed of [-] miles.

At the same time, he asked the Skynet Army to quickly send a message to Zhao Yucheng, so that Zhao Yucheng would know his decision.

Then, he reorganized the Shenji battalion that had just completed the second wave of training. With full power, he moved the Shenji battalion to Kaifeng in a full mule-horse way, so that the Shenji battalion could be put in place and rectified as soon as possible, and temporarily returned to Under the command of Zhang Yuejing.

As long as the peasant army successfully defeated the Jiujiang army and the Ezhou army, and cut off the retreat of the Xiangyang army, it was time for the elites of the Henan Corps and the Shenji Battalion to dispatch.

Flanking from front and back, destroying the Xiangyang army, conquering Xiangyang, and cutting the Southern Song Dynasty in two!

Send troops to encircle and suppress my subordinates every day, right?

This time, open your eyes!
Su Yonglin, who is super vengeful, has always remembered the incident of the Southern Song Dynasty attacking Zhao Yucheng three times.

On the other hand, while waiting for a specific order, Zhao Yucheng began to issue a mobilization order to mobilize the army and some people to prepare for the operation. Intelligence personnel were also dispatched in an all-round way to collect a large amount of military intelligence in the Ezhou area, and pay close attention to the movements of the Xiangyang army. .

It means that while the Southern Song Dynasty was preparing for the fourth encirclement and suppression operation, the peasant army also began to prepare for a formal attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, and both sides were preparing.

The difference is that the Southern Song Dynasty did not know and would not believe that the peasant army was preparing to attack them. They still felt that only they could attack, while the peasant army could only defend and counterattack at most.

A group of mud-legged people can do things temporarily, but after all, they can't last long, and they can't fight against the Southern Song Dynasty for a long time. This is their inherent concept.

They did not realize that the military strength of the two sides has undergone a lot of changes after more than a year, and it can even be said that the changes are about to approach qualitative changes.

Their army became recruits, and the peasant army became relative to them - veterans.

This world is constantly changing, nothing is immutable and will not change, a drop of water can penetrate a stone, how can an army stay in the same state forever?
