I am Da Song

Chapter 318 Unexpected Situation

Just over a month after the national celebration of the Great Song Dynasty ended, the war between Jin Kingdom and Xixia broke out immediately.

To the astonishment of both Song and Xixia, the leader of the Jin army was actually a general who had never commanded an army of 10,000+ before.

Complete Yan Lou room!

But until he took command and went out, everyone felt that it was so reasonable for him to be the marshal.

In the battle of Jurchen to establish a country, there were only five most outstanding generals, namely Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Zongwang (the second prince Wolibu), Wanyan Zonghan (National Prime Minister Nianhan), Wanyan Yinshuke, and Wanyan Loushi.

Among them, Wanyan Aguda and the second prince Wanyan Zongwang had both passed away, and Wanyan Yinshu could be executed in Tokyo by Ling Chi.

The remaining prime ministers, Wanyan Zonghan and the Song Dynasty, and the Mongols all suffered defeats.

Of the five famous generals, only Wanyan Loushi remained without any defeats.

Besides these five famous generals, the rest of the younger generation, whether it is Wanyan Zongpan or Jin Wushu, are all experienced babies in the hands of Song Jun.The performance is extremely stable, and it is almost certain to lose every battle.

Especially Wanyan Zongpan, who has been completely beaten into autism.There is a serious Song Jun phobia.

He alone contributed to two 10-level fiascos.

If it weren't for the fact that the Song Army didn't have many cavalry, these two major defeats would have severely injured the Jurchen's vitality and made them unable to recover.

It was a forced and helpless move of the Kingdom of Jin to run out of Yanlou rooms, but the effect was so good that it shocked all countries in the world.

Wanyan Loushi general Jin Jun is brave and good at fighting, and the advantages of tenacity and sharpness are brought into full play.

On July [-], the Jin army sent troops from Yunnei Prefecture. On July [-], the Jin army crossed thousands of miles and captured the Chaoshun Army Division in the right wing of the Western Xia military town.

The army is at the foot of Helan Mountain, only one step away from Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia.

Wanyan Loushi's marching route is obviously a careful study of the battle route of Liao Xingzong's campaign against Xia in the fourth year of Qingli (1044 AD), and a profound summary of the reasons for the failure of the Liao army that year.

Therefore, although the same marching route as Liao Xingzong was adopted, it was not as arrogant and arrogant as Liao Xingzong, showing off his military might.It is a very pragmatic march to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Liao army's shortage of food and grass.

Xixia was still on guard against this route of his advance, but Da Song was unexpected.

The Privy Council is too limited to its own perspective. Based on its own tactics, it feels that the Jin army will go to the outer side of the Yellow River, sweep away all the cities along the Yellow River, and then consolidate its flanks to prevent the grain road from being harassed by Xixia.

However, the Jin army's style of play is completely different from that of the Song army. Their cavalry advantage is on par with that of Xixia, and may even have an advantage.

Therefore, Wanyan Loushi directly chose to go to the inner side of the Yellow River and go straight to the vital point.

When you reach the foot of Helan Mountain, go south along Helan Mountain and surround the capital of Xixia.

They wished that the Xixia army would leave the city to fight with them in the field, so that the Jin army could take advantage of their combat power and chop them all to pieces at the foot of Helan Mountain.

The difference in military thinking between Song and Jin made the two countries make completely different predictions about the direction of this war.

Only Xixia, who is on the other side of the war, has not deeply felt the rapid progress of the military theories of various countries.

Xixia is still accustomed to sending troops to find a mountainside, a dangerous pass to defend, and fight against opponents in mountain warfare.

Until August [-]th, news of Xixia's defeat flooded in front of Zhao Huan's case like snowflakes.

This battle thousands of miles away also deeply mobilized Da Song's nerves.

Zhao Huan's level of diligence in politics can be said to be the most since time travel, and he summoned the prime minister for court discussions for several days.

Today's new battle report came. After reading it, Zhao Huan asked the female officer to give it to other prime ministers. He frowned and said, "Western Xia has been defeated again. The [-] troops from Dingzhou, Huaizhou and other places east of the Yellow River rushed to help Xingqing Mansion. Was defeated by Jin Guo's general Wan Yanhuo's [-] female commander in the Great Sinking Valley."

"This time there is no weather to help Xixia. The Jin army is not like the Liao army. Just after winning, it encountered a 'sudden wind and flying sand'. The [-] Xixia army was almost wiped out, and there were very few survivors."

"This is the first time Xixia has suffered a major defeat since the war between Jin and Xia. Even if the whole country is mobilized, how many troops can Xixia have? At most 50. How long can Xixia persist in this kind of destruction with tens of thousands of times? "

The number of Xixia's 50 troops is the number that Xixia boasted when the Song Dynasty attacked Xia.

Not to mention whether there are so many troops, even if there are, most of them are mobs.

It can't stop the tiger and wolf division of the Jin Army at all.

Wanyan Loushi's movements were really too fast, too fast.

It took only a dozen days. In this era, it would take most of the time just to deliver the news. In the remaining short time, Da Song's reaction could not keep up with the changes in the situation.

If the Privy Council sends Shenwu Youjun to go out based on the information received, after the news is conveyed, Shenwu Youjun will march into the originally set target city.When the army really marches to Xixia, it is likely to crash into the heavy siege in the hinterland of the Jin army.

Therefore, Zhao Huan was awe-inspiring in the court meetings in recent days, and put enormous pressure on the Privy Council.

Today, Zhao Huan reiterated the main point again: "According to the current situation, it is very likely that the Jin army will encircle Xingqing Mansion before September, just like besieging us towards Tokyo, forcing Xixia to sign an alliance under the city. Once Xixia hands over a large amount of wealth to The Golden Army means that the strategic goal of the Golden Army has been achieved. It can return with a lot of wealth and greatly ease domestic conflicts. It even directly destroys Xixia and expands the territory for thousands of miles. What idea does the Privy Council have to ease the situation?"

Zhang Shuye has also been exhausted in the past few months. After all, the Privy Council's judgment on Xixia's war has made a huge error.The Jin army's accidental use of the Wanyan Lou room further pushed the situation to a situation that no one in the Song, Jin, and Xixia kingdoms had expected.

But for a huge country like Song Dynasty, a wrong judgment will not have much impact. Song Dynasty has strong national strength and huge room for maneuver to correct mistakes.

There are countless talented people in the whole country, and the wisdom that can be formed is beyond the imagination of small countries like Jin Guo and Xixia.

So Zhang Shuye immediately reported to Zhao Huan: "The Privy Council Shou Que Shuling Shi analyzed the situation in Xixia, and I think it is very insightful. Now the Shouque Shuling Shi is divided into two factions about the development of the Xixia war."

"Among them, the conservative faction still believes that the war will be as expected by the Privy Council, and the Jin and Xia armies will be deadlocked on a certain line."

Zhao Huan frowned, and asked, "The Xixia army has been defeated in a row, what can we do to stop the Jin army?"

"It's still wind and sand. In the Western Xia war against Liao Dynasty, it was also a loss of soldiers and generals. It was defeated on the battlefield. It was because of the sudden gust of wind on the battlefield that filled the sky with flying sand that turned defeat into victory."

Zhao Huan used his fists to hammer the case, and solemnly said: "I don't believe in strange powers and gods, and I don't believe in the theory of luck! How can Xixia be protected by flying sand and rocks every time there is a big war?"

"But I thought that what was said in the Shouque Shu Lingshi was not a strange force."
