Qiming 1158

Chapter 389
In fact, Jin Bing also learned to behave.

Because the coastal areas could not be fully defended, they had to choose the most important Daxingfu coastal areas to defend, so that the Restoration Army would not directly attack the Central Capital.

Not only that, they also learned to use wolf smoke and beacon fire, and once they were attacked by the Restoration Army, they would quickly light wolf smoke or beacon fire.

In addition, there are layers of camps, and the military camps are arranged in layers. After the first layer is attacked, the following military camps have time to react and can respond in time to make defenses.

Judging from their experience of fighting with the Restoration Army several times, the attack of the Restoration Army Navy was relatively sudden and short-lived.

They usually only hit once when the raid is successful, and they won't continue to hit after a successful attack. They pay attention to closing when they are good, so the unfortunate ones are usually the outermost military camps with lax defenses.

After the outer barracks are attacked, the barracks behind tend to react quickly and prepare for defense. Such a layer-by-layer defense, with the addition of wolf smoke and beacon fire, although they are still passively beaten, can generally ensure the safety of the rear. .

After such a defensive strategy was implemented, the surprise attack of the Restoration Army Navy would not be able to truly threaten the Central Capital.

For this reason, Wan Yanliang probably mobilized more than 3000 soldiers for defense, further reducing the number of troops that could be brought south to conquer Hebei.

He was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, not long after the attack, around October [-], there was good news from Yelu Yuanyi.

Yelu Yuanyi successfully captured Wen'an County and Dacheng County in Bazhou, repelled the nearly [-] troops of the Restoration Army stationed there, and achieved a brilliant victory.

He asked to dedicate this victory to His Majesty the Emperor, and wished His Majesty the Emperor a victory in the South Expedition and a glorious triumph.

Wanyanliang was very happy, and immediately ordered a generous reward to Yelu Yuanyi, encouraging him to make persistent efforts and create greater glories.

Then he made this matter public, and let everyone know that his Southern Expedition Pioneer had achieved a glorious victory, defeating the legendary Restoration Army with strong fighting power.

Then he further believed that it was not that the Jin army could not fight, but that the main general was too weak. If the main general was very weak, the army would be dragged to death no matter how hard it was to fight.

Therefore, to sum up, Wanyan Alin is a waste, and Yelu Yuanyi is the great golden general.

And the Daikin army is still invincible and powerful!
Wan Yanliang said a lot of such big words, and even covered up the fact that the Restoration Army had repeatedly attacked the coast of Daxingfu and caused many casualties of the Jin Army.

In this regard, the sober courtier chose to show Wanyanliang the table, and persuaded him not to be too happy. The Restoration Army was not hurt at all, and the navy was still attacking. This is enough to show that Yelu Yuanyi's small victory was not enough. To compliment to this point.

The Restoration Army still has room to spare and has not suffered any serious damage at all.

But Wanyanliang didn't care, he needed victory, and mosquito meat was also meat. He also knew that this small victory would not change the battlefield situation, but no matter what, it was also a victory.

Victory is better than defeat.

Relying on this "victory", Wanyan Liang also temporarily suppressed the forces in the DPRK and China that were dissatisfied with him.

As a result, within a few days, on October [-], the Liberation Army attacked Baoding, and the news came that a large number of southern expedition grains were destroyed.

The retaliation and revenge of the Restoration Army came very quickly, to the point where Wanyanliang didn't have time to flash, so Wanyanliang's cheeks were almost swollen.

Baoding is an important advance reserve base for the Jin Army. A large amount of grain was transported to Baoding before being dispatched to the south. These grains are not only the rations of the vanguard army, but also many of the rations of the main army behind. It was attacked here, and the situation was no trivial matter.

That is to say, the Baoding defenders closed the city gate in time, without causing greater irreparable losses, otherwise this battle would not be fought.

If there is not enough food to eat, the number of the army going south will decrease. If the number decreases, it will be difficult to win against the Restoration Army, and it will be difficult to win.
Better not fight.

Now it can only be said that the minimum entry conditions can still be maintained, which makes Wanyanliang feel that his face is swollen, and at the same time he has gained some comfort.

But the next news really knocked his proud self-confidence a bit and drew blood from his already swollen face.

On October [-], news came back that the vanguard Yelu Yuanyi's army had been wiped out in Dacheng.

The news came back from Baoding's logistics and grain corps. When they were anxiously going to open the channel for transporting grain, they learned that the vanguard army was surrounded and annihilated by the Restoration Army in Dacheng, and the entire army was annihilated. Most of the dead were captured.

Only a few hundred lucky ones survived.

When the news came, the court and opposition in the Jin Kingdom were shaken, and the civilians and military generals lost their composure.

To put it simply - I'm afraid.

This is not the first time.

This is the second time.

The regular army of the Jin Army, which was established for the second time, was defeated and annihilated in the face of the Restoration Army.

The established Jin Army was large in number, fairly well equipped, and had a complete organization, but it was the Jin Army with such a complete organization that was completely wiped out.

Wanyan Alin had the demeanor of a famous general, and his entire army was wiped out and died.

Now it has been replaced by Yelu Yuanyi, the Minister of War, who had just won the battle and was designated as a famous general of the Great Gold by the emperor, but was destroyed by the Liberation Army in a blink of an eye.

Now it seems that Yelu Yuanyi's previous victory was most likely due to the lure of the enemy's in-depth, rather than the excellent record of Yelu Yuanyi, the so-called famous general.

This is simply because the Liberation Army deliberately showed weakness and lured Yelu Yuanyi into their trap.

We don't know what Wan Yanliang thinks. Everyone only knows that the combat effectiveness of the Liberation Army is extraordinary. An army of 3 to [-] people can no longer do anything to them, and they are even at risk of being wiped out.

The Restoration Army has left the category of the bandit army and has the demeanor of a regular army.

At this time, someone else remembered Wen Dunsizhong's comment on Su Yonglin and the Restoration Army - Yue Fei and his army.

There was a lot of discussion about the matter, but this matter brought a result that surprised Wanyan Liang.

The strength and skill of the Restoration Army made the civil servants and generals of the Dajin Kingdom feel the real threat. They were afraid of it. They were afraid that the Restoration Army would continue to be strong. They could really invade Yanyun and overthrow the Jinting, and take everything they have now. take away.

They were all afraid.

Really scared.

Now is not the time for a battle of wills, it is time to unite to completely wipe out the Restoration Army.

This is urgent.

As a result, the civil servants and military generals expressed their opinions and suggestions, providing the emperor with the best advice he could think of for his southern expedition, and strongly urged the emperor to dispatch the most elite soldiers and horses to annihilate and devour the Restoration Army in one fell swoop.

We must destroy the Restoration Army before it has the strength to overthrow Ginting.

It is necessary to crush the Liberation Army years into slag with absolute superiority in military strength, then slaughter them all, and use physical extinction to make the threat of the Liberation Army no longer exist!
Yan Liang was taken aback by these suggestions, which basically came from the Jurchen bureaucrats.

He had thought that this defeat would make these Jurchen bureaucrats, who he had never dealt with, even more afraid of the Restoration Army, but he didn't expect that fear would bring not only cringe, but also the strange courage of the last fight before cringing.

This kind of courage inexplicably consolidated Wanyanliang's position. The civil servants and generals had no time to argue with Wanyanliang about his status. They only hoped that Wanyanliang would come up with a solution immediately so that the Restoration Army could be completely wiped out.

This is an unexpected gain.

The only thing that made him unhappy was that the courtiers felt Wen Dunsizhong's foresight, and they all asked Wanyanliang to re-enable Wen Dunsizhong, and let the mature and prudent Wen Dunsizhong come up with a strategy to deal with the Restoration Army.

Although the courtiers needed Wanyanliang's force, they didn't quite believe in Wanyanliang's wisdom, so they needed a more reliable candidate to provide a plan, and Wanyanliang would just follow suit.

Although Wanyanliang was very unhappy about this, the political pressure was too great, and he had no better way but to make compromises.

Wen Dunsizhong, who had been under house arrest for several months, was finally released, and was summoned to the palace by the emperor's chariot to discuss important matters with the emperor.
