Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 276 Brothers and Brothers Respect
"It's a fight, it's a fight!"

Kang Gongbi looked at Liu Ling and said anxiously: "The sentinel report, just looking at the size, Liang Zhe's troops should have no more than 5,000 combatable soldiers, Li Heda's troops are even less, and there are 20,000 soldiers who followed our army south to Yongxing Military Road. The Xia army should be almost dead or wounded, or they may have directly defected to the Song people."

At this point in the battle, everyone is actually tired.

In the past few years of foreign wars, the Song people have lost all their soldiers and elites. Now the main framework of Tan Zhen's army is the Xiang army, Baojia and local militia defenders. There are also a large number of auxiliary soldiers and civilians to make up the number. .

The reason why they were able to suppress Liang Zhe was simply that they had too many troops. Even if the Han army could gain a certain advantage at first with its fine soldiers and food, if the situation continued like this, the Han army would definitely be the first to be overwhelmed. military.

"Li Liangfu sent a message and has cut off the Song army's food route. Our army only needs to wait for another half month, and the 90,000 Song army will be defeated without a fight!"

"No."

Liu Ling put his hand on the map and ordered: "Send the order to Yelu Dashi and Quduan. Whether they are soldiers of the Han army, auxiliary soldiers or soldiers of the Song Dynasty who have recently surrendered, any one of their subordinates will be killed in this battle." Officers of the Song Dynasty Military Academy and above will be rewarded on a per-capita basis, with a minimum of twenty strings and no upper limit.

Those who kill Tan Zhen will be worshiped as generals, granted a thousand households, three thousand acres of land, two hundred thousand guan, and a marquis! "

At this time, it is no longer appropriate to deliberately humiliate the enemy with rewards, such as giving Tan Zhen a donkey or something, but to give real benefits, so as to squeeze out the last breath held in the body of your own soldiers. .

Everyone is tired, but everyone can continue to fight with you. At this time, all they need is a reason to convince themselves to continue fighting for you.

"The camps, cities, prisoners and orphans in the rear are all gone. As long as Tan Zhen's 90,000 troops are killed in Yan'an Prefecture in this battle, then Guanzhong will be ours, Hedong will be ours, and Hebei will also be ours. of!"

"Go north, attack with the whole army!"

Liu Ling leaned back in his chair and stared at the dozen civil servants and generals in front of him. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "After this battle, all the credit goes to you. I only want the world!"

As soon as I said the word "I", the room immediately became quiet.

Immediately, Kang Gongbi bowed down to Liu Ling. Behind him, Han Chang hurriedly knelt down. A dozen civil servants and generals also bowed down to Liu Ling and said in unison:

"My lord, I obey your order!"

"boom!"

The sky was gloomy, and a series of thunder rolled down from the distance. The winter thunder shook, and layers of war clouds were suppressed in the unusual weather.

On the official road, a small group of cavalry rode forward. The sound of horse hooves kept stepping on the puddles, splashing up a handful of rainwater.

"drive!"

"Urgent report, the front army has collapsed again!"

Tan Zhen held the military newspaper, slapped the case and roared: "Are you all eating shit? Twenty thousand people! Twenty thousand people can defeat six thousand people, and they won't be able to defeat them in seven days!"

"He Liang Zhe is a beast of the Xia Kingdom without a king and a father. You are all veteran generals who came from Zheng'er Bajing Jiangmen Zhengluzi in the Song Dynasty. You want soldiers, and I will give them to you. If you want food, I will go to the rear to raise funds. You Do you know how many people have died due to famine in many places in the country?”

His eyes seemed to be filled with fire, and no one dared to look at him. Everywhere Tan Zhen saw, the people standing there bowed their heads and were scolded.

From the perspective of the Song Army alone, coach Tan Zhen cannot be said to have done nothing. After all, he had mostly fought for what the generals wanted from the court. In addition to privately engaging in internal struggles for power, Tan Zhen Zhen also barely fulfilled his duties as a coach.

But he used the experience of the past few decades to judge the battle situation in front of him, and he couldn't judge anything. I went from claiming to be worth 200,000 to 20,000, to actually being worth 90,000 to 6,000.

Although there is no difference of 110,000 between the "200,000" and "90,000", the huge loss of soldiers in recent days has made the Song Army lose the confidence to even claim 200,000.

Furthermore, there were many troops on the Xia Army's side who broke up and defected, and there would only be more desertions on the Song Army's side.

In this regard, the Song and Xia families really have a tacit understanding of their old rivals.

It's just that the combat effectiveness of the Han army has far exceeded Tan Zhen's expectations, and it also gave a blow to the Song generals who were full of confidence at the beginning of the war.

The opponent had killed more than 10,000 people in the battle, and now he was taking the initiative to attack. However, the former soldiers and horses he sent to fight and suppress them were defeated in waves, so much so that Tan Zhen once even had to go to the camp to assemble the troops in person!

In this way, we can barely stabilize the ever-lowering morale.

But now, this Han army dragged out another seven days after leaving the protection of the city wall!

"Tell me, are you a manure eater?"

Tan Zhen was so angry that he stood up and pointed at everyone and cursed: "This commander and you are all ordered to come here to defend against the Northern invaders. We will both be prosperous and devastated! If I give you another half month, I will kill this Han army." Not a single one is left!
Otherwise, everyone will go back to see the official! "

That night, the Song army began to attack the Han army camps under Liang Zhe in batches. Of course, the senior generals of the Song army also felt ashamed, but after all, they relied on the lower-level soldiers to fight.

The war lasted for such a long time, and it only took the Han army more than a month to capture Yan'an Prefecture, but they couldn't capture a small city to the east of Yan'an Prefecture for several months!
"So, are the handsome generals above me all shit eaters?"

Wu Lin complained in a low voice. Wu Jie next to him was just sleeping under the quilt. He vaguely heard his brother complaining. He raised his foot and kicked his brother and muttered: "We have hundreds of thousands of troops to do your damn thing." We are all here, and the Yan people can't change the world, so why are you anxious?"

"Brother, the Yan people say that they are Han people, and we are also Han people. I heard that the reward they offered us is very high."

Wu Lin thought to herself: "I heard that if you kill a soldier and surrender, they will directly give you a two-level promotion."

If he defected as a school captain and brought the head and identity token of a Song officer, the Han army would directly upgrade him by two levels, and he could jump from a school captain to a general or something like that.

Coupled with a piece of money and food to settle down, it was enough to seduce the minds of many Song soldiers.

"Brother,"

Wu Jie huddled in the quilt and said dullly: "Brother, I am also a soldier. Can I take my head off for you and go to the Yan people to make up for it?"

"Brother, that's not what I meant. Looking at the current situation, it's hard to be more ruthless. Maybe our Song Dynasty really can't kill those Yan thieves, so we can only put them back. As you say, the next step is nothing more than ceding land and coins. That’s the way to go.”

While the two brothers were talking, shouts suddenly rang out from outside. They all sat up suddenly and looked at each other. Fear could be heard in the shouts from outside.

"Yangou is coming!"

"The Han army is coming!"

The two brothers looked at each other in confusion. Wu Lin pursed his lips, suddenly his brain twitched, and he joked: "Brother, why don't you take advantage of the moment?"
