Qiming 1158

Chapter 427
The number of soldiers is always limited. The Golden Army claims to have 40 soldiers going south, but it is not easy to pull out 16 soldiers that are really available.

The remaining soldiers either encircled and suppressed the remnants of the Khitan rebels in Liaodong, or dealt with the dual threats of the Southern Song and Western Xia in Guanzhong, all of which were unable to support the front line.

What Wanyanliang can take out is all he has now.

Under the current situation, Wanyanliang didn't have the time and enough reserves to conquer all the cities one by one, and it was impossible to surround so many cities with limited elites, but he had to send troops to surround those cities that could not be breached.

Therefore, the only possible situation is to use a signed military uniform, at a big deal, with some elite foxes and fake tigers, it looks like a large army is besieging the city, so that the defenders in the city dare not move rashly.

However, without the main force of the Jin army to oppress, can the Restoration Army in the city really be unable to deal with the falsified Jin army outside the city?

Wouldn't they find clues and rush out to tear apart the powerful appearance of the Jin Army?

Once a city breaks through the siege, the logistics of the Jin army will face danger. If all the cities break through the siege, Wanyanliang's main force going south will face a dead end.

In this case, he still chose to go south.

So, Su Yonglin is sure, Wanyanliang...

The whole gambler!

Is he gambling the country's luck?

Putting everything on a war, and making such a bold move, ignoring military common sense, and going south to find the main force of the Restoration Army, is there really no problem with this guy's head?
Staff officers, look at me, I look at you, all of them were shocked by Wanyan Liang's boldness.

In this regard, Su Yonglin is not incomprehensible.

"According to Yelu Yuanyi, Wanyanliang's situation at this moment is very bad. He has to fight this battle, he has to fight, and he has to win. If he loses, he will die without burial. In fact, he has no way out."

Su Yonglin slowly told the staff members about the current political situation of the Jin Kingdom that Yelu Yuanyi had told him, and explained Wanyanliang's dangerous situation clearly, so that the staff members knew the reasons and psychological factors for Wanyanliang's actions.

In the end, Su Yonglin made a summary, and also took the opportunity to give political lessons to the staff.

"When considering an enemy's behavior, one should not only look at his military actions, but also his political situation. Why did Yue Fei die? He didn't die because of military issues, he died because of political factors. Because of politics, Yue Fei couldn't Immortal.

When everyone wants to make peace, and only he chooses to fight, all his actions are wrong. This situation is called political incorrectness. For the emperor, this is a great taboo. Yue Fei's death, It was the collective conspiracy of the entire Southern Song Dynasty.

But if the politically incorrect person is the emperor himself, and he represents political correctness, then the problem will become simpler. Political correctness and incorrectness contradict each other, so it depends on whose fist is harder. "

Su Yonglin raised his fist: "Wanyanliang won us, proving that his fist is hard, then all his incorrect behaviors will become correct, if he loses, even his correct behaviors will become correct. It’s called a zero-sum game, where the winner takes all and the loser has nothing.”

The staff members fell into deep thought, thinking about what Su Yonglin said.

After a while, Xin Qiji nodded slowly.

"So, Wanyanliang is betting, he is betting that he can win this battle, and then use the might of a big victory to quell all dissatisfaction with him, prove his strength, and he will be able to secure the throne. If he loses, he won't even have a chance to admit his mistakes, and he will surely die without a place to be buried."

"Right, that is it."

Su Yonglin nodded: "We don't need to worry about whether this is a conspiracy or not, Wanyanliang no longer has the qualifications and resources to use conspiracy and tricks, he must be very anxious, angry and nervous now, he will definitely do a lot of stupidity that we can't imagine. decision.

And we, as long as we seize every opportunity to constantly weaken him, make him tired, make him weak, and the huge advantage of [-] cavalry will be turned into nothingness and become a drag on him, then our army will definitely win the final victory! "

"victory!"

The staff members were aroused with the will to win, and expressions of excitement appeared on everyone's faces.

They are standing at the crossroads of history, and they are playing a historic game that few can succeed.

Whether they can get out of the situation of the "thief army" to complete a gorgeous reversal and become a regular army representing orthodoxy depends on the outcome of this war.

If they win this war, they will be able to push back the Jin Kingdom, attack Yanyun in one go, recover Yanyun and the Great Wall, and drive the Jin Kingdom back to their hometowns.

But even at this point, the Jin Army still has a huge advantage, and Wanyan Liang still holds the trump card that can turn things around—a huge number of cavalry.

On the field battlefield, this is an indestructible strategic force.

In the middle and late December, Wanyan Yiying rushed from Zhending City to Hengshui, met with Wanyanliang, and handed over the cavalry in his hand to Wanyanliang, allowing Wanyanliang to master a huge number of terrifying cavalry.

However, this did not make Wanyan Liang feel very excited.

His attack on Jing'an failed. The Jing'an defenders showed great courage in the face of Wanyanliang's ferocious siege from all sides. They repeatedly defeated Wanyanliang's attack and held on for more than ten days. to a trace of cheap.

In the end, Wanyan Liang was forced to do nothing, because the infantry troops were not strong enough to rotate the siege, so he could only dismount the cavalry and turn into infantry to participate in the siege battle, so as to facilitate his rotation siege tactics.

Of course, it didn't succeed in the end. Instead, it lost the lives of more than 1000 soldiers and caused a larger number of wounded soldiers.

Faced with huge losses, unanimous opposition from his officials, and his own anxiety, Wan Yanliang had to give up the Jing'an strategy, leaving an army of 5000 people to surround Jing'an City, and then led the troops southward to Hengshui.

But he still held his breath in his heart, he still wanted to fight, and seeing the scale of Hengshui City was inferior to Jing'an City, Wanyanliang was tempted again.

He wanted to vent his anger very much, and he didn't believe that he couldn't take down a single city.

Therefore, despite the dissuasion of Wanyan Benjian and Heshi Lieliangbi, Wanyanliang once again ordered the army to attack Hengshui County.

In fact, according to the opinions of the ministers, you are all ready to go south to fight against Su Yonglin's main force, then implement the tactics to the end, and you have to attack the city again, and you want to attack the city again. Do you want to go south or attack the city?
Is siege that simple?
The spirit of the Jin army has been weakened after repeated siege failures, so that when he arrived under the city of Hengshui, his morale was very low.

After the conquest, the promise of three days of plundering could not arouse morale, because they had never succeeded. Wanyanliang could only rely on rewards and extra meals to improve morale, but this would greatly increase the cost and make logistics more difficult.

He Shi Lie Liangbi repeatedly persuaded Wan Yan Liang to pay attention to the loss of the Jin army, especially since the army carried a large number of horses, and the loss of these horses was astronomical.

If you want to go south, hurry up, hurry up, finish the fight as soon as possible, don't continue to toss the army and logistics personnel, everyone has been holding back to the point of exploding, and they want to kill you!
But Wanyanliang always put his left ear in and out of his right ear.

It was always like this, making Heshi Lieliangbi's heart ashes, and he didn't want to say anything anymore. Wanyanliang could do whatever he wanted, he was tired.

So Wanyanliang personally commanded the army to attack Hengshui City, expressing that he would give the Restoration Army some color, and let the Restoration Army understand how powerful he was.

But will the Restoration Army care about his threats?
Hengshui defender Zhong Xuemin was a regiment trainer of the Tianxiong Army, leading [-] regular troops to defend Hengshui City.

Facing the Jin army's siege and attack, he relied on Hengshui instructor Mo Liang to mobilize [-] militiamen to help defend, and fought bloody battles with the Jin army for five days and nights. Attack the wall.

Amid the roar of Thor cannons and rockets, Wanyan Liang was really impatient.

It was just at this time that Wanyan Yiying led his troops to arrive, and Wanyan Benjian took the opportunity to persuade him to go south. He didn't care how embarrassed he was, so he went down the slope and led the army to the south.

Hengshui offensive and defensive battle was so hastily given up by him.
