The struggle of the reborn prince

The reason why Zhao Tun adopted the tactic of attacking one place, consolidating one place, and fighting steadily is that he was worried that because the attack speed was too fast, he would not be able to consolidate the rear, and thus would fall into the dilemma of endless rebellion and impermanence, and repeated suppressions.Guerrilla warfare is another headache. The Jurchens have a good location and people, and have the conditions to fully develop. Therefore, he has always taken the annihilation of the enemy's vital forces as his main combat goal. He is worried that once the Jin army is divided into countless small groups and It is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive to entangle yourself, but also it is difficult to deal with the military and the civilians.

Now that Mou Yan suddenly abandoned the city and adopted the strategy of dividing troops to deal with the Song army's siege tactics, Zhao Tun was surprised and annoyed.But if they would involve a lot of their own troops and slow down their offensive pace, wouldn't it be in line with their wishes.

"Your Majesty, I think it's strange that the Jin army's sudden change of defense tactics is against the rules." Zhao Lian said suddenly.

"What's wrong with it? ****..." Zhao Tun asked.

"Your Majesty, Jeju's subordinates have already completed the pre-war preparations for retreating into the city with strong walls and clearing the fields. Now that we are approaching the city, only ten miles away from the city, they suddenly sent troops out of the city to regain control of those abandoned fortresses. Isn't it a bit hasty, and those fortresses are under their control?" There was a lot of damage before the withdrawal, and there was a lack of food and grass reserves, so it can be said that they did not have the conditions to resist the attack. If they want to use guerrilla tactics to resist us, why bother?" Zhao Lian said. "That's right, they're taking off their pants and farting." Zhao Yong also nodded, feeling that what Zhao Lian was thinking was indeed reasonable.

"This can only explain one problem, the generals in Jeju City are at odds!" Zhao Tun immediately thought of this problem when Zhao Lian mentioned it.

"Your Majesty's analysis is that Wanyan Alin was not famous for martial arts among the younger generation before, but he was intelligent and discerning. He was proficient in Jurchen, Khitan characters and Chinese characters, so he was favored by Wanyan Quan. Although he was awarded a military position, he never Leading the army to fight; Brother Mouyan was born in the general family, deeply influenced by his father and brother, skilled in bow and horse, and fought with his father since he was a child. Said.

"Wanyan Alin was able to serve as the Governor of the Huanglong Mansion and the Chief of Soldiers and Horses. It was Wushu's compromise after adjusting the rebellion case. First, it was to give the emperor face; second, it was to win over Zongxiong; In this way, it can explain why the initial strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the country was implemented, and then the two may fight for power and turn against each other, leaving Ah Lin behind and doing it alone." Zhao Tong nodded.Civil and military struggles have never stopped throughout the dynasties, and this problem also exists in the Kingdom of Jin. Excessive interference by civil officials in the military will definitely cause dissatisfaction among military officials.If it was someone else, the imperial envoy might still be able to suppress him, but Mou Yan was also of noble birth, and his father and brother must be in the rank of prime minister now, and sending A Lin, an upstart, here already made him feel a little bit more dissatisfied.Next, Ah Lin sternly carried out the imperial edict, using force to further deepen the conflict between the two sides.Although it is not clear what caused the conflict between the two sides to erupt, but judging from the current situation, Mouyan must have gained the upper hand and controlled the power of Jeju City.

"Your Majesty, can we take advantage of the conflict between the two of them to break the plan?" Zhao Yong pondered for a moment and said.

"This is indeed an opportunity, but it's not easy to turn Ah Lin Xianyu over. Have you already made up your mind!" Zhao Tong said to Zhao Yong.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates thought that they could send heavy troops to attack the fortresses restored by the Golden Army. Small battles are fought to create momentum. One is to frighten and plot, so that they have the illusion that their own plans cannot stop our army; the other is to borrow This is a big publicity. It is said that our army is not afraid of conspiracy. His father and brother were so powerful in the past. They were all beheaded by us, let alone him. Now they are afraid of Ah Lin. I am worried that he will not be able to stand firmly and be wiped out. Now the Jin army is out of the city to restore the fort It is giving us every opportunity to break through." Zhao Yong said.

"Well, that's a good idea. Spread rumors to shake the morale of the army, but it's not enough to let Ah Lin regain power, or intensify their internal fighting." Zhao Tang affirmed Zhao Yong's thinking, but felt that the fire was not enough.

"Yes, although Mouyan is brave but not scheming, but his brother Shi Gu is good at making decisions, and he may be able to see through our plan. If we can get rid of this person, Mouyan will lose a lot of help. Then we will attack the city It will reduce a lot of resistance." Gao Chong nodded and said.

"The problem has been solved, and how to solve it is your business. I just want to watch the fun, but within half a month, I will hold a banquet in Jeju City!" Zhao Tong looked at the crowd and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, your subordinates will conquer the city as scheduled." Zhao Yong and the others immediately understood that the emperor wanted to be the shopkeeper again, but this time he set a deadline for them. of……

Before the Jin army used the fort to launch an attack, the Song army began a large-scale battle the next day. They dispatched half of their troops, a total of twelve brigades. With the cooperation of artillery, they fought against the rear with the speed of a lion fighting a rabbit. Launched an attack with the flanking Jinjun Fortress, and at the same time sent some troops to lie on the main road outside Jeju City to attack the neighboring fortress reinforcements who came to rescue after receiving the police.The battalion has also strengthened its patrol force, and set up peripheral security positions in key areas to prevent enemy raids and block infiltrating enemy troops.

Faced with the powerful attack of the Song army, the fortress controlled by the Jin army was powerless to stop it. The Song army often only needed a round of artillery fire to knock down its thin wall, and there was no place to hide in the narrow space of the fortress. After the war, there were already heavy casualties, and they were unable to resist the next attack of the Song army. All they could do was abandon the village and flee.However, the Song army did not destroy the captured fortress as in the past. Instead, it was repaired and left to garrison, which became a stronghold for them to protect the communication arteries and isolate the Jin army from each other.

Facing the crazy counterattack of the Song army, Mouyan had to order the soldiers who left the city to abandon the fortress. Instead, they took advantage of the familiar terrain to hide in the wilderness and woods, gathering and scattered to attack the Song army's luggage and the fortress it occupied.But this tactic also has little effect, because the Song army has already controlled the strongholds on the main roads and can dispatch reinforcements at any time to reinforce the attacked troops, and it is basically impossible for the "guerrillas" who do not have heavy weapons to take down the forts they guard. Complete the task, and face the danger of being encircled and wiped out.The other is that the work of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness in the early stage of the Jin army was so good that they lacked food and drink after they left the city, and they could not get assistance from their tribesmen.

The frequent failures made the morale of the army low, and they also had doubts about Mouyan's tactics. What made Mouyan and others even more anxious was that more and more rumors followed the defeated soldiers who fled back to the city.It was rumored that Song Jun was afraid of the general manager Ah Lin, worried that he would try his best to hold on to the city, which would cause them great casualties and make them unable to march to Beijing.But Song Jun is not afraid of plotting against this reckless man. He is brave and foolish, and he is even a fool who has his flag taken away. If he presides over Jeju's military administration, sooner or later the city will be destroyed and people will die.

What is even more frightening is the doubts from the people of the tribe, because there are rumors that the reason why Mouyan insisted on restoring the fortress outside the city was because of the lack of food and grass in the city, and it was impossible to support so many people. If the Song army besieged the city for a month, they would have to run out of food .So he knew that sending troops out of the city would fail, but in order to reduce the burden of supply, consume the excess population, and reduce the pressure on defending the city, he sent groups of people out of the city to die.

"Shi Gunai, now rumors are spreading in the city, several meng'an demanded to stop restoring the fortress, so as not to waste troops, but after I refused, they refused to go out of the city after receiving the food and grass." Brother discussing matters, he said with a frown.

"Yeah, people in the city are not stable now, especially those Muke who were breached by the Song army, complaining in private that Wanhu shouldn't have disobeyed the commander's order to send troops out of the city and suffered heavy losses, but the effect is minimal. It's better to hide in the city Good." Haili also said.

"Stupid, it is precisely because we keep sending troops out of the city to harass the Song army that it is impossible for the Song army to attack the city, and I suspect that it is the Song army who deliberately spread rumors to confuse our army, and implemented countermeasures, by provoking the conflict between us and our neighbors. To achieve their goal." Shi Gunai couldn't help cursing.

"I think the one who spread the rumors was Alina. He was dissatisfied by us, and it happened that these few battles were not going well, so he took the opportunity to make rumors and make troubles to elevate himself, so that he can use this power to regain power. , I think even if Zhao Er is an immortal, it would be difficult for him to guess what happened in our city, let alone say good things for A-Lin." Haili disagreed with Shi Gunai's analysis.

"Well, I also thought that Lina was the mastermind. The spies discovered that someone secretly visited the governor's mansion at night, plotting to seize power again, and he also replaced all the soldiers guarding the governor's mansion with government troops." Mou Yan said, Speaking of which, the pain from the whip wound on his back was even more unbearable.

"Hmph, just relying on my neighbor and a few stalking shrimps in the city, we won't be able to make waves. As long as we hold the treasury firmly in our hands, everyone will have to act according to our face, or we will starve to death!" Shi Gu Nai was not worried about these, and said with a sneer.

"Report to Wanhu, people from the general manager's mansion said that an envoy from Beijing has arrived, please go and listen to the order." At this time, a soldier came in and reported.

"Oh, the Song Army has now cut off the roads everywhere. How did the envoys come to us, and the soldiers guarding the city didn't report it. Could there be fraud?" When the two parties have already turned their faces, the sudden invitation cannot prevent him from thinking twice.

"What are you afraid of? Jeju City is the world of our Aoji tribe, and he can turn the world upside down!" Mou Yan didn't care, he didn't believe that Ah Lin dared to do anything to him...
