Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 397 Death Legion
Wang Tin's army went deep alone, and he did not bring an auxiliary army. Because it was a breakout battle, when he left Linhuang, he left Linhuang City without that condition.

Fast marching is his top priority right now. Finding auxiliary soldiers naturally needs to meet his urgent marching requirements. If you need to march fast, men on horseback are naturally the most suitable, but if you go deep into the enemy's hinterland, how can you recruit them?

Huanglong City, the prefecture of Huanglong Mansion that Wang Bing wanted to fight, and it was a quick battle, if he couldn't find suitable auxiliary soldiers, he might as well not look for them.

Huanglong City is not big, a small city only in Zhouqili, smaller than the dilapidated Taiyuan City before.

Huanglong Mansion was originally the capital of the Fuyu Kingdom. When the Fuyu Kingdom was at its strongest, it was only a small vassal state with a span of no more than two thousand miles, and it was still in a bitterly cold place like Liaodong.

Later, Yelu Abaoji, the emperor Taizu of the Liao Kingdom, led his troops to attack Bohai Sea. When the troops returned to Beijing in April of the following year, Yelu Abaoji died of illness here. It was rumored that a huge yellow dragon appeared in the sky above the city at that time, so it was renamed Huanglong Mansion. .

This place of Huanglong Mansion is rich in grains, with a lot of surplus grain and developed agriculture and mulberry, but the city is not very high.

Most of the emperors of the Jin Kingdom lived in Shangjing, the old capital of the Liao Kingdom. The city was tall and large, with a circumference of more than [-] miles.

The decision of the Jin people to conquer Huanglong Mansion and establish their capital in Huanglong Mansion was to a large extent, to achieve the purpose of stabilizing their political power by humiliating the Khitan people.

Now, after Wan Yancheng, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, came to the throne, he lived in scattered places with no city walls at the beginning of the country, and called it Emperor's Village, Guoxiang Village, and Prince Village.After ascending to the emperor's village, it was called Huining Mansion (now Harbin). 'We are planning to settle down in Ningfu.

The city of Huining Mansion was built in the sixth year of Xuanhe. Before Wan Yan Sheng moved from Shangjing, the old capital of the Liao Kingdom, to Huining Mansion, Wang Zhi drove him to Huanglong Mansion.

Therefore, Wang Bing's plan to attack Huanglong Mansion was not a temporary idea. He made extremely meticulous preparations, bypassing the old city of Liao Kingdom to go to Beijing, and directly attacking Huanglong Mansion.

In the snow-capped Huanglong Mansion, there was no room to move at all. Wanyan Sheng paid an unknown price and asked Wanyan Zonghan to attack Linhuang with all his strength, pointing at Yunzhong Road.

From Wang Ting's point of view, Wanyan Sheng made the decision when he determined that Da Song had no offensive ability when formulating the national policy.

Such a decision has led to the Huanglong Mansion's door being opened wide, limited to the weather conditions, Wanyan Sheng never imagined that someone would brave the snowy weather to march.

The general looked at the marching handbook and said, "General Wang, the last general knows where to find the auxiliary army."

"The Tatar people in the Tatar tribe have been bullied by the Jin people for a long time, but we don't know them well. Whether they have the courage to resist the Jin people is unclear."

"However, the general once heard from the Khitan people in Linhuang City that many Khitan people joined the Tatar tribe after the Liao Dynasty was destroyed."

The general took out an object and put it on the table, saying: "There is no need to hire them, this object will definitely drive the Khitan people to serve as my Song's auxiliary army."

Wang Ting took a closer look, and it was the dragon Xijin belt that Yelu Yujian had been wearing all year round.

"Yelu Yujian handed this thing over to you?" Wang Ting looked at his general in astonishment.

Yeluyu sees it as a treasure, and does not want others to see it. It represents his clan identity and controls the rationality of the Khitan people. How could it be here?

The general quickly shook his head and said: "This is an imitation made of copper and lead by the officials at the time, and the golden light is also copper."

He told Wang Ting about how the planters fooled Yeluyu, and the official plan to make dragon Xijin belts to disturb the Khitan people.

It was only then that Wang Ting suddenly realized, and said: "No wonder Yelu Yujian is so easy to keep people from seeing it, it turns out it's a fake."

"No wonder Yelu Dashi didn't want to go back to Liaodong, and even ran to the Western Regions and never came back. It turns out that the Khitans are still fighting among themselves."

"Is the authentic product of the Longxijin belt at Yelu Dashi?"

The general shook his head and said, "I don't know about this general, but we can use the Dragon Sikkim Belt to bring a group of Khitan people as auxiliary troops."

Wang Ting pondered for a while, and said, "We are in an alliance with Yelu Yujian now. If we use his power in this way, will it have a bad influence on him?"

"If it's not good, it's not good. You take Long Xijin to the place where the Khitan people are, recruit [-] auxiliary soldiers, and explain to them in advance that there is no food for them."

Wang Ting's tone changed quickly, from an employment relationship to a prostitution.

The general took the order to leave, Wang Ting stood up and stretched his body.

The injuries suffered in Taiyuan City last time were old injuries, and the injuries suffered in the battle in Linhuang City this time are new injuries.

Old wounds and new wounds, in this kind of severe cold weather, will be painful.

The veteran was covered in injuries and illnesses, Wang Ting was used to it, and even became numb to the pain.

But Wang Ting still didn't rest. He took his own troops and began to patrol the camp to check on the soldiers on duty. The spirits of most soldiers were still high, which made him feel relieved.

It is the lifelessness of the entire barracks, which makes people shudder.

The second inspection focuses on the security of the camp.Especially outside the camp, camping must smash pits to prevent enemy soldiers.

Small potholes were smashed into the snow by Wang Jin's army. Wang Jin's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the rabbit running out of the pothole, he bent his bow and shot an arrow, and hit it with one arrow.

Wang Ting grabbed the wild rabbit's body, his arrow skills were still there, and his bones were still strong. A little pain did not affect his state.

that's enough.

After Wang Ting caught two roe deer and three rabbits in the snow, when he returned to the camp contentedly, he suddenly stopped.

Wang Ting looked under the tree not far away, and there seemed to be a figure. When he came closer, it was indeed a person, but a corpse, which had been frozen hard.

"Call the logistics escort!" Wang Ting roared!
Because this is a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty!

But he didn't have a padded jacket on him, and he was actually wearing a summer jacket inside his armor!And look at the luggage is the scout who did not return from the heavy snow yesterday!
In fact, Wang Ting always thought that the scouts who Daxue went out to investigate last night were afraid of following his desperate battle and chose to flee.

But when he saw the bodies of the scouts, he fully understood that these scouts were probably frozen to death.

The guards looked around, but no one moved.

"Go and call me the logistics guard! Are you all deaf?! Or is it that I can't speak anymore? I want to ask him why the scouts didn't distribute cotton clothes!" Wang Ting looked at the guards, shouted even more angrily.

"General Wang, this is the logistics escort."

"He gave his son the padded jacket to wear. His son was supposed to go on patrol last night, but his son was blinded by the heavy snow and couldn't see, so he went." A parent stood up cautiously and said.

Wang Ting was in a daze as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.The man whose spine was not broken by the golden man suddenly felt a little unstable. He held onto the tree trunk to barely maintain his figure.

He looked at the scout under the tree. When he was frozen to death, the direction the scout climbed out was still north!
Before he died, he still looked at the north?Facing the enemy and dying!Until death!
The expression on Wang Ting's face was very complicated. He was doubting himself. Was it really wrong to decide the strategy of going north?
Another entourage said: "A few days ago, the general issued an order to the entire army that all fathers, sons, and brothers who join the army must choose one person to return to Yunzhong. There are no padded clothes for the two of them in the logistics transfer."

"I asked the father and son to choose one of them to go back to Yunzhong Road, why didn't the two of them go back?" Wang Ting asked with a frown while supporting the tree.

A personal guard stood up and said: "There is no one in the family of the military supply squad. Most of the soldiers of the Jiesheng Army came from Hedong Road, and many families lived in Wenshui, Xinzhou, Shuozhou, etc. place."

"There is no one at home. It's the same whether you go back or not. It's better to kill a few golden men."

Only then did Wang Ting fully understand why less than 2000 people returned to the camp with Sun Yi when he led his troops to the north.

His soldiers are the Jiesheng Army, which originally came from Hedong Road.When the Jin people went south, the northern part of Hedong Road was directly slaughtered and plundered. Because of the pressure of the Jin soldiers in the southern part, bandits ran rampant, and the people were in dire straits.

He looked at the lifeless camp, then at the scouts on the ground, and at the scars on his hands. Jie Shengjun's body was very dead, and Wang Ting also thought of many ways, but to no avail. .

The soldiers of the Jiesheng Army followed their own goals, and even their human desires such as making meritorious deeds and becoming princes and worshiping ministers seemed extremely weak.

They are as silent as dead, but they are so vividly alive.

The fundamental purpose of the Victory Army is revenge.
