Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 433 Leapfrog Tactics
Zhao Huan took the note that Zhao Ying handed over, and read through Yue Fei's bandit suppression diary in Taihang Mountain in detail.

This open and hang-like life has begun.

The bandits in the Taihang Mountains are actually extremely difficult to eliminate because of the complicated roads in the mountains and the fact that they are suppressing bandits in winter.

After the fall of Yanmen Pass on Hedong Road, when the Hebei two roads were defeated by 3 Jin troops, countless refugees and defeated soldiers became an opportunity for the Taihang Mountain bandits to grow stronger.

Compared with the 17 people on Fuxi Mountain, there are far fewer bandits in Taihang Mountain, only 8.

But with only these 8 people, their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the 17 bandits in Fuxi Mountain.

Fuxi Mountain is a group of lunatics, so the bandits in Taihang Mountain are a group of well-trained lunatics.

Hebei Road was the first place to equalize the land. The filling operation of Hebei Road and Hebei Road has won the hearts of the people.

Even if you don't have any special skills, the Bazi Army of the Rebel Army in Taihang Mountain is still a pretty good place to go.

Those who are still on the mountain are all real bandits, and some low-level officers of the forbidden army are supplemented, which greatly improves the combat effectiveness of this group of bandits.

Yue Fei cooperated with tens of thousands of local rebels to carry out a plan to suppress bandits in the Taihang Mountains for several months.

The initial battle was extremely unfavorable, because of lack of understanding of the terrain, Yue Fei's Hejian Army and Wang Yan's Bazi Army were ambushed several times.

Niu Gao was patrolling the mountain drunk, and was almost killed by the people of Taihang Mountain.

Yue Fei was furious, and he demoted Niu Gao three ranks in a row, with 1 military sticks, and then personally led the troops, defeating an army of [-] bandits in Taihang Mountain, opening a gap.

Afterwards, the Geng Brothers, acting as internal agents, sneaked into the enemy's camp in Taihang Mountain, and Yue Fei even disguised himself as a personal guard. Details of the campsites in the Taihang Mountains.

And then defeated the Taihang Mountain bandits in one fell swoop.

However, this group of bandits were all habitual offenders, and some of them even had several lives in their hands. The defeated bandits entered the mountainous area, posing a new threat to Hedong Road and Hebei Road.

Yue Fei and Wang Yan have been rooted in the Taihang Mountains for the past few months, and they are constantly looking for the army that was defeated by the bandits. With the cooperation of the local people, they finally killed all the bandits before returning to Beijing.

"System, do you think you are too salty? You see that Yue Fei is invincible, and he is self-aiming! What do you want you to do?" Zhao Huan laughed.

【Oh. 】

……

Zhao Huan was helpless, the system was not working at all, he was used to it.

Yue Fei's self-aiming hanger is made of a stone hammer.

Because he was going to the Taihang Mountain camp to fight, he needed to enter the camp to investigate, and when Yue Fei left, he was recognized by someone.

With Yue Fei's slingshot, the bandits in Taihang Mountain retreated steadily, and they retreated safely from the Taihang Mountain camp.

Really, the slingshot with every shot hits every shot, and even shot Yang Hu, the leader of the Taihang Mountain camp bandits, blind in one eye.

Zhao Huan put down the military newspaper and saw the [-] Hejian soldiers and the Bazi army at the ferry.

Whether it is the 72 villages of Fuxi Mountain or the 36 caves of Taihang Mountain, in essence, there are still bandits and disbanded forbidden troops. Road, will cry father and mother.

But being a bandit is really first-class cruelty.

The reason why these bandits harmed one side was that they could not be eradicated for a long time, because the combat effectiveness of the local Xiang army was even worse.

Facing the Hejian army armed to the teeth, these bandits are actually not enough to look at.

The local people and the rebel army cooperated extremely well in the extermination of the bandits, and the peace of people was gone.

The reason why Zhao Huan decided to set off in autumn and the strategic plan to suppress the bandits in winter was because the mountains were covered by heavy snow in winter, and the bandits had nowhere to escape, so it was convenient for them to gather and wipe them out.

After losing the weather and the harmony of people, and only the location is left, in fact, facing the well-trained Hejian flying army, they are naturally like chickens and dogs, and they will collapse at the first touch.

The loss of the flying army was not very large, only more than 130 soldiers died, and a large part of this was due to the difficult mountain roads in winter and accidental slips.

More than 300 people were injured, and most of these injured soldiers suffered from frostbite.

Zhao Huan saw a long line of soldiers waiting by the ferry, as well as the eight-character army who were only wrapped in cotton clothes and did not even have a piece of armor.

Zhao Huan of the Bazi Army had heard about it a long time ago, and it was built by Wang Yan.

The Hebei recruiting department controlled Wang Yan's troops, and fought alone. After resisting Yan Zongwang's attack, the 8000 people under his command were defeated.

The members of the Eight Sects guarded the big city behind closed doors, and were beaten to Cizhou by Wanyan Zongwang's jump-frog tactics.

What is leapfrog tactics?

It is to avoid strong cities and heavily defended cities, go all the way south from Yanjing, and after laying down several strategic cities, they will go straight to Bianjing and carry out beheading operations.

After beheading, the former fortified city really became isolated and helpless, desperately resisting, but only besieged but not attacked, and the people in the city starved to death.

Wanyan Zonghan fought in Taiyuan City for more than 200 days. There was no way to do it, because the position of Taiyuan City was too important, and Taiyuan's defender, Wang Zhi, was not unable to defend the city.

He once personally led the army out of the city to fight, beheaded Li Siben, the Jiedu envoy of the Yisheng Army who had defected, and stabilized the hearts of the people in Taiyuan City.

Wanyan Zongwang fought in Yanjing City for more than two months before persuading Guo Yaoshi to surrender. Wanyan Zongwang is undoubtedly a general. When Yanjing was besieged, he keenly felt that the officials and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were restraining each other.

Then all the way to the south, the soldiers were very fast, and in just three months, they were pushed from Yanjing to Bianjing.

Of course, Wanyan Zongwang didn't know that his behavior of bypassing the enemy's strong city would once again shine under the hands of the US military in later generations, and even the right to invent was taken away.

The only problem with this kind of leapfrog tactic is that it is okay to win every victory, but if there is a slight carelessness, the battle goes wrong or loses, the army's morale will be unstable, and problems such as food and grass supplies will become extremely terrible.

This is also the reason why Wanyan Zongwang had no choice but to withdraw his troops when he saw that the city of Bianjing could not be captured, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty was the main fighter with his head up to the sky.

The leapfrog tactics were implemented more thoroughly by the Mongols. Temujin once sent troops to besiege the central capital of the Jin Kingdom, and sent a large army to plunder wantonly in Hebei and Shandong, and returned with a full load.

After Wang Yan's subordinates were disbanded, they organized anti-gold soldiers in the Taihang Mountains. They stabbed the eight characters of serving the country with a heart and vowing to kill the gold thieves, and they became a well-known eight-character army.

Wang Yan had a high prestige in Hedong, Hebei, and the establishment of the rebel army, when the rebels from the Hedong and Hebei routes heard about it, they took refuge in Wang Yan one after another.

If Zhao Huan hadn't sent Zongze to organize the Hebei Rebel Army, Yue Fei would have defected to Wang Yan.

In the normal historical line, Yue Fei and Wang Yan had some nasty incidents.

And this nasty thing even almost killed Yue Fei.

Later, when Yue Fei ruled Ezhou, when Wang Yan's eight-character army returned to the Southern Song Dynasty, they passed by Ezhou. Yue Fei set up a banquet to entertain Wang Yan, but Wang Yan passed the door and refused to enter.

In the fifth year of Shaoxing, Wang Yan was relieved of his military power by the surrendering faction Qin Hui and others in the court. Yue Fei once wrote to Zhao Gou to ask Zhao Gou to keep Wang Yan's life, so he saved Wang Yan.

However, Wang Yan was still demoted to become an observer, and Shaoxing died of depression in nine years at the age of fifty.

Even so, Wang Yan still did not reconcile with Yue Fei.

When Yue Fei was under Wang Yan, relying on his martial arts, he took the initiative to attack the Jin people many times, and accidentally attracted the main force of the Jin soldiers to attack Wang Yan's main force, and Wang Yan almost died.

These two famous anti-gold generals who had never exchanged a word with each other since parting in Taihang Mountain in their previous lives stood side by side in the wind and snow, discussing something while talking and laughing.

Zhao Huan ordered his car to walk up to the two generals with a smile on his face, and asked with a smile: "What are you two discussing? So happy."

"See the officials." Yue Fei and Wang Yan got off their horses one by one, bowed their heads and said.

"The officials and the king are all saying that the officials issued an edict to scold us." Yue Fei bowed his head and said.

　The leapfrog tactic was not invented by Wanyan Zongwang either. Avoiding a fortified city and attacking the enemy must be saved, and it can even be extended to the time of besieging Wei and saving Zhao, so it will not be expanded here.
