At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 350 The plan of encirclement and annihilation

In the Beihe military camp, Xie Xianwen looked at Naiyan's body and said, "Naiyan is finished, the country's dynasty has begun!"

He is now a lieutenant general, deputy commander, chief of staff and division commander of the Northern Army, and the commander is his eldest brother Cheng Huading.

"The Tatars attacked Beihe Village and breached the contract first. It is natural for our army to counterattack.

Yuxi Timur is still hovering on the side, just in time to surround and annihilate! "Cheng Huading said.

"Okay, send troops immediately!" Xie Xianwen was about to go out to order troops, but Cheng Huading held him back.

Cheng Huading said: "After all, he is your father-in-law. What happened after this..."

When the Song-Yuan peace treaty was signed, Naiyan panicked and thought that Song's father no longer wanted him and he had to marry the emperor.

From a son to an emperor's father-in-law?Beautiful thought!
Xie Xianwen happened to be single, so he married Naiyan's youngest daughter.

I can't say that I am shy, I can only say that I am comparable to Dong Shi. Of course, the country has always had a saying about marrying a virtuous wife and taking concubines and having sex. It doesn't matter if the wife is not beautiful, but she really can't be too unattractive, and that As for character, it's hard to describe in words, which is evident from the fact that Xie Xianwen doesn't have a concubine.

Xie Xianwen didn't care, and said with a smile: "If it were not for the plot of the Northern Territory, how could a noble Han family member marry a Hu girl?

Now that Naiyan is dead, it's time for me to take action. I only need to use Naiyan's flag to take back the palace tent. Who in the north can compare with me?
Gathering all the ministries, and waiting for the ice and snow to melt, King Wang's army marched southward to directly attack the capital of the puppet Yuan Dynasty. In this way, the north will always be owned by the country. "

"Since that's the case, send a squad to send Naiyan to Zhenbei City. As for you, say that you are eager for revenge." Cheng Hua decided to make the decision for the younger brother.

Xie Xianwen did his best, nodded and went out to convey the order.

Zhenbei City is a newly built city on the Heilongjiang River. It is fifty miles east of Beihe Village. The main force of the Northern Army is stationed there, as are the families of the officers and soldiers.

The battle plan is finalized and the army is dispatched.

Instead of going overland, we entered the river.

After staying in the north for a long time, the Song army also developed many new tricks based on the weather and geography, and ice sledding was one of them.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, dripping water turns into ice. The ice on the river is more than ten feet thick, and the general's cannon cannot blast it, so it is completely possible to walk.

The ice surface was flat, and the sled ran all the way as fast as it could, so it only took one day for Zhenbeicheng's army to arrive, and it also took one day for the army to reach the location of Naiyan Palace.

Everything is on the sled, no need to load, just go.

After more than 30 miles to the west along Heilongjiang River, we turned into the Hannan River and ran for more than 70 miles. When it was dark, the entire army arrived.

"The Song army came so fast?" The sweet potato in Yuxi Timur's hand fell to the ground and smashed to pieces.

He estimated that the Song Army would only take three to five days. At that time, the outer ice wall would have been five or six feet long, enough to support them. Now...

"Marshal, the Song army has just arrived, why not take the initiative?" Yuwashi said.

"We are outnumbered, how can we fight in the field?" Yuxi Timur turned around a few times, uttered one word, and said: "Retreat!"

The car was no longer needed, just one man and two horses, and they fled.

Seeing that Yuxi Timur was so decisive, Xie Xianwen didn't hesitate, and immediately led the army in pursuit.

The Yuan army rode horses and the Song army rode sleds. In fact, the speeds were almost the same, but they were just competing for endurance.

While you were chasing each other on the grassland, Sun Dali was being disciplined in Luoyang City.

"It is common sense that the Yellow River freezes in winter. You are in charge of Mengjinguan, but you don't take precautions, causing the gate of Luoyang to open. How can you be worthy of His Majesty's teachings?" Yang Zhenlong asked.

Jiang Cai was seriously ill, and Yang Zhenlong took over the command. He originally wanted to make great contributions after the war in [-] and strive to become the fifth marshal, but he did not want to suffer a big loss first.

The idea of ​​shooting Sun Dali was all over. "I really didn't expect the Tatars to attack in the snow, and they used muskets..."

"Didn't expect that? Musket?" If it weren't for the fact that he just woke up from a serious injury, Yang Zhenlong would have kicked him.

"Do you have a defense plan? Do you have muskets? I think you are distracted!" Yang Zhenlong took a breath and said, "Stop talking, strip off the rank of major general, remove all military positions, and return to Beijing to explain to His Majesty."

"General..." Sun Dali wanted to plead, but was embarrassed.

A defeated general has no face.

After dismissing Sun Dali, Yang Zhenlong looked at Lou Mengcai and asked, "How is the Luoyang people retreating?"

"It's freezing cold, and if you're not prepared in advance, it's probably impossible." Lou Meng replied.

"No, if we don't let Luoyang out, the Yuan army will definitely not take the bait." Yang Zhenlong turned around and said fiercely: "It's really not possible, we can only keep the people in the city."

"General." Lou Mengcai said: "The loss of Mengjin is already a crime. If the people of Luoyang suffer too many losses, I'm afraid the court will blame them."

Using Luoyang as a bait to attract the Yuan army on the north bank and even the Yuan army in Tongguan to attack, encirclement and annihilation was Yang Zhenlong's plan.

According to his authority, Yang Zhenlong could make the decision, but it was a taboo for the state to use troops regardless of the life and death of the people.

"The good life is too comfortable, let them recall the cruelty of the Tatars!" Yang Zhenlong said: "I will take responsibility for the punishment of the court!"

"But……"

"There is no but!" Yang Zhenlong interrupted Lou Mengcai and said: "The overall situation is important. As long as Henan can be recovered, what do the people of a mere city deserve?"

Although he said this, he actually created opportunities for people to evacuate.

Just ten miles away in Sunjiaji, the Yuan army's gunpowder seemed to be free of charge, and artillery shells rained down on the Song army's position.

Each team takes turns covering and retreating back.

Facing the artillery fire of the Yuan army, the people ran away early, so the Song army only needs to take care of itself.

The Song army was very fast, and the Yuan army was not slow either. Especially more than ten miles away on both sides, large groups of Yuan troops rushed towards Luoyang like a tide.

It was getting dark at this time. Even if the Yuan army traveled all night, they would not reach Luoyang until tomorrow. There was not much time left for Yang Zhenlong.

Hada in the rear still felt that the army was too slow and kept urging them to speed up.

"Our army took the Mengjing Pass by surprise and crossed the natural dangers of the Yellow River. It was time to take advantage of the emptiness of Luoyang to attack.

The country has repeatedly lost troops and lost ground, and both inside and outside the court and the public are looking forward to a big victory to boost the morale of the army. The opportunity must not be missed, and the attack must be launched before the reinforcements of the Song army enter Luoyang! ” Hada emphasized again.

"It's just that the snow is too deep, making it difficult to march. We have tried our best," Zhang Wenqian said.

Hada left the post of deputy envoy to the Privy Council and was transferred to the governor of Henan Province. This was actually considered a promotion, but his transfer to the councilor of the governor's office was a derogation.

There is no way, the front line always needs to be blamed for defeat after defeat, and as a Han Chinese, this blame will never be allowed.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Wenqian was still eager to capture Luoyang, but the power of his powerful crossbow could not penetrate Lu Zhen, so marching through the night was not the best strategy.

"As the saying goes, it will be exhausted again and again. If we fight a tough battle, it will be difficult to conquer Luoyang." Hada was also helpless.

The Song Army was determined to fight. Even when Mengjin Pass was attacked by surprise, the Song Army fought to the end and blew up the cannon and gunpowder. Afterwards, the casualties were counted and the casualties were about one to one.

Sneak attack warfare is like this, let alone a frontal attack. If the Song army from all over the city is really allowed to enter the city, the 5 Yuan army may not be able to defeat it.
