Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1090
The two sides fought, and the Song army remained silent. Some people wanted to take the opportunity to seize power. They either surrendered to the Song Dynasty or resisted the city and insisted on fighting against the city. People have different opinions but did not delay being involved in the war. As a result, more and more people participated in the war. The internal turmoil was rampant, and everyone did not go to defend the city. They gathered their own troops to protect themselves, and waited for an opportunity to chop off other people's heads.

The reason is also very simple. Since Jiang Yun can sacrifice the power he developed in Xingqing, he can sacrifice his meticulous work in the Xia army.

A lieutenant general played a decisive role in the city. He first gathered hundreds of subordinates to rebel under the guise of Gu Lihei and shot Zhong Shuling.

A little flame ignited the entire grassland, which just gave those diehards an excuse. The strong suppression of Gulihei did not hold back at all, and it chilled the people watching. Everyone had to protect themselves, lest they be annexed and killed by others.

The battle in the city became more and more intense, and gradually became uncontrollable. Although Gu Lihei controlled tens of thousands of people, he was still unable to eliminate his opponents.

After three consecutive days of fierce fighting, it gradually became clear that Gu Lihei had tried his best and promised too many benefits to the people, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people and control the defenses inside and outside Jingzhou.

The final decisive battle was presided over by Gu Lihei himself, and launched an offensive against the defenders entrenched in the inner city. More than 3000 Xia troops attacked continuously.

Some people let go of their battles, while others fought desperately. It was almost like everyone could be killed, and killing people was red-eyed. The residents of the inner city were considered to be in bad luck.

In fact, from the beginning of the internal strife, the residents of Jingzhou City were very unlucky. The young and strong were dragged to be cannon fodder many times.

The generals who opposed Gulihei were always irreversible, and were quickly beheaded. Even those who surrendered were beheaded by the red-eyed Xia army. Corpses were everywhere in the inner city, and the ground was stained red with blood.

The lieutenant general who first led the army to rebel was also considered a man. Facing the constant pressure of the enemy, You Zi fought to the last moment of his life, and he had fulfilled his duty.

The matter is not over yet, Gu Lihei is very afraid of mutiny, he has been so nervous that he has reached the point of collapse, no longer caring about the Song army outside the city, searching for the remnants of the defeated soldiers, and arresting the civilians who participated in resisting him.

For a while, the situation that should have calmed down became tense again. There was chaos in Jingzhou City, and people were killing people on the execution ground. It was a rioter and he was killed.

At this time, after the internal massacre of the defenders, the strength of the defenders has dropped to more than [-] people, and Gu Lihei is still killing people, causing the already overwhelmed defense force to almost collapse. Many people feel desperate and go to the city one after another at night Dedicated to the Song army.

The funniest thing is that there were successive scenes of meeting at the top of the city. Everyone greeted each other in embarrassment, and helped each other escape. In the end, even the guards on duty also ran away a lot.

Compared with the chicken feathers in the city, the Song army did not take advantage of the chaos to attack the city. In Jiang Yun's words, it was definitely a gentleman's demeanor. No one had noticed that near a goose hole, several young people in scarlet clothes Strange instrument, measured against the city wall.

In Ganzhou, which is far away from the Xingqing battlefield, Yue Fei finally arrived at the front of the army after 20 days of trekking. Without any delay, and without wasting precious time, he quickly took over the Hexi army and immediately launched an offensive against the living women.

It was another war that didn't look like a face to face. The Hexi Army of the Song Army took the initiative to fight. Even Yue Fei was shocked by the grand scene of Wanqi's expedition. .”

However, the battle is cruel and does not depend on personal will. The Jin army is almost all veteran soldiers, and their combat quality is obviously higher than that of the Song army. This is an indisputable fact.

Yue Fei is good at using troops, and he has also commanded thousands of cavalry in battle, but thousands and tens of thousands are a hurdle, just like commanding ten thousand people to fight with 10 people, the difference between tactics and strategy is worlds apart, and it is not bloody. can be substituted.

Besides, the difference in horses also tested the command ability. Back then, it was impossible for the Xiao cavalry army to be equipped with all Liangzhou horses, and the heavy cavalry formed could not carry out large-scale agitation.

Today, there are tens of thousands of horses riding all Liangzhou horses, and there are several battalions of deputy horse troops, which determine the difference in tactics.

His Hexi Army's combat effectiveness is not as good as that of Yun Jie's Army, not to mention the elite vassal army. Most of them are the children of marginal herdsmen who join the army.

The formation of the Hexi Army is the local soldiers of the township army, and they also mobilize many herdsmen's children, but the most elite are to strengthen the second army of Yunjie and Fanluo, and the rest are relatively insufficiently trained. The generals and schools of the Jie and Fan fallen troops, I am afraid that the Hexi Army will not even be able to go to the battlefield.

Sure enough, Yue Fei's plan must be said to be ingenious, and his commanding skills are also very superb, but the combat effectiveness of the Hexi Army is really not satisfactory. Several times the attack was weak, and he was almost defeated by the kidnappers on both wings of the Jin Army.

It is really unbearable for the Ma army to be plundered by two wings. The clumsiness of the Hexi army is embarrassing. It is only when Shaoxing sent reinforcements from the clan that they can barely stand firm.

The cruel reality made Yue Fei realize Wang Xiu's truth. The Jin army has obvious advantages in the horse army, especially when fighting on the plains with large corps. It is difficult for the Song army to completely defeat the opponent. disadvantage.

Today, if it is replaced by an infantry unit, it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out, and it will not be able to support the support of the Fan Luo army. The battle against thousands of Jurchens back then is very different from the tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of Jurchens today. .

In the large-scale horse army mobile warfare in the wilderness, any subtle strategy will appear so pale and powerless under the crush of absolute strength.

"It seems that Wang Xianggong sent me to Hexi with deep intentions!" Yue Fei is not a fool, on the contrary he is very shrewd, only after being frustrated did he vaguely understand Wang Xiu's intentions, that is to fulfill him!

Zhang Xian was also terribly aggrieved. He led a heavy army as a forward, and drove straight to Guanbao, sixty miles away from Zendan County, but was attacked by two thousand cavalry from the Jin army. .

It is absolutely unprecedented in his life, and it also made him realize that the pure horse army combat is completely different from the infantry tactics, beyond their many years of experience, this is a highly maneuverable plunder, a completely new field, let He was extremely shocked.

Xu Qing, however, had some experience, and said in a clear voice: "The captives are free from the constraints of infantry, galloping for thousands of miles, erratic, and the infantry is useless, this is what we will inevitably encounter."
