Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 441 Show off our army

Zhao Huan was referring to Datong Mansion, which was their only possible target.

Jinren had already touched his nose in Fengsheng Prefecture last year, so he will never go again this time.

Last time, the military forts in Fengsheng Prefecture were only half built, and the army of tens of thousands of Jinren managed to advance to the last level, but finally retreated.

And this winter, although it was snowing heavily in Fengsheng Prefecture, the construction of the military fort did not stop. The completely completed military fort in Fengsheng Prefecture is now a nightmare for the golden people who do not have any good means of breaking the city.

The Jinren knew the city defense facilities of Datong Mansion well. It was the right choice for the Jinren to take down Datong Mansion and continue to plot Yunzhong Road.

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were ordered to march towards Juyongguan, with [-] flying troops and [-] Yongding troops, rushing towards Datong Mansion.

Zhao Huan frowned and looked at Kanyu map, thought for a long time and said, "How many troops do the Xixia people have?"

Zhao Ying was taken aback, and said: "The people of Xixia are all soldiers. During the war, all males over the age of 15 and under the age of 60 will join the army. There are about 100 million Xixia households."

"In the eighth year of Daguan, the last attack on Yongle City built by the Song Dynasty at the junction of Xia, Yin, and You prefectures. At most, nearly 50 people were mobilized at one time. 30 people can be drawn out on weekdays. About [-] soldiers are always on hand. .”

Zhao Huan nodded when he heard this, and gave up his plan to order Zhong Shizhong to attack from Yongding Army Road.

This time, Xixia attacked Zhao Huan's city with at most [-] troops. The main force of the Xixia people was not in this direction. They went out rashly. .

Facing its own conquest, the Kingdom of Jin has no room for resistance!
At this time, the spring breeze and spring rain were falling in Datong Mansion, Yang Xinzhong looked at the coalition forces of Xixia and Jin people under the city, scratching his head.

"Grandfather, why didn't they attack the city?" Yang Xinzhong couldn't figure it out. After the Jin people and the Xixia people were stationed separately, there was no more movement.

"Probably because of uneven distribution of spoils or a dispute." Yang Zongmin frowned and said with a smile as he looked at the appearance of the two groups of people in the city.

They had no reinforcements, and the front of Datong Mansion was wide open, and the scouts who had scattered reinforcements had already discovered them.

Waiting at the bottom of the city now, there should be a dispute over who should be sent to death first.

Yang Zongmin shook his head again and again and said: "The most important thing for defending the city is whether the supplies are complete, and the second is to prevent the traitors from opening the door. If you do these two things well, when Captain Yue and General Han lead the troops to kill them, you can go out of the city to attack them together, and you will be able to defeat the enemy. "

"The most urgent question now is how does Dongshengwei build the city?"

"If I wait to advance, the Xixia people will definitely retreat. If I wait to build a city, they will definitely stop it. Even if the city is forcibly built, a lonely city on the grassland will easily be isolated and helpless. The Xixia people and gold people will come together. It is absolutely impossible to defend. It is difficult. .”

"Could it be that there are 10 people stationed in the city?" Yang Zongmin frowned. What he was thinking about was not retreating the enemy, but the subsequent strategic planning.

Dongshengwei must be built, otherwise Datong Mansion will be the same as it is now, and it may be attacked at any time, which is not conducive to the development of the two wings centered on Yanjing.

This is a taboo in strategy.

But Yang Zongmin didn't think of a good way, coercion?
How many years have Da Song and Xixia been fighting back and forth these years?
Yang Zongmin is very clear about the virtues of Xixia people. They are foxes on the prairie, and they can't catch them if they are slippery or not.

"This battle is a battle of spirit and martial arts in the Great Song Dynasty." Yang Zongmin sighed, looking outside the city, not knowing what to do.

In the Battle of Lingwu, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Duan Xi defeated the Eastern Qiang people in Lingwu Valley. Later, he used the Battle of Lingwu to describe the key battle to defeat the alien race.

The battle of Dongshengwei to build the city is as important as the battle of Lingwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty to defeat the Qiang people.

The key strategic layout is from strategic defense to strategic offensive. If the city cannot be built, the follow-up combat plan cannot be launched at all.

Yang Zongmin's doubts soon became reality.

The Song Dynasty, Xixia, and Jin people started a tug-of-war between Dongshengwei and Datong Mansion. When the army advanced, the Xixia people and Jin people scattered and retreated, and when the city was built, soldiers came to invade.

Thanks to having such a tolerant horse as a bad horse, he didn't suffer any big losses.

"It can't be like this. We can bear it, but the peasants can't stand such a toss and turn. Some peasants in the labor relief prison are afraid to go." Yue Fei looked at the Kanyu map and said to Han Shizhong, Yang Xinzhong, and Yang Zongmin.

In the back and forth tug-of-war, the peasants did not lose much. The main purpose of the enemy is to harass, and this kind of harassment, the soldiers are better, and the peasants are a little exhausted.

Dongshengwei is at the gate from Yunzhong Road to Hetao. If the city is built, Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Xixia people, will be in danger.

Because the flat river is full of grasslands, there is no city to defend at all.

"Does Captain Yue have any good strategies?" Yang Zongmin shook his swivel chair and leaned in front of Kanyu map.

Yue Fei drew a line on the Kanyu map with his hand and said, "From here to here, 940 Jiuli Road. At the current speed, we can reach Xingqing Mansion from Dongshengwei in three days!"

The starting point of this line is Dongsheng Prefecture, and the end point of this line is Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia.

"A lone army goes deep, and it's a big taboo for military strategists." Yang Zongmin shook his head and said, this strategy is a bit unconstrained, and Song Dynasty has never had this kind of strategy.

"We have horses now, and carry a few days' rations. We must save the enemy if we attack, so that the Xixia people will shrink completely. Otherwise, the construction of the city will have to be dragged on like this, and finally nothing will be done." Yue Fei said with a sigh.

The more he looked at the Kanyu map, the more likely it was that there was little rain in spring and the road was not very muddy. If it was delayed until early summer, such a surprise attack would become difficult.

"There was no such style of play before the Great Song Dynasty, but now the right time, place and people are in place. Even if Xingqing Mansion cannot be conquered, the Xixia people will have a long memory!" Yue Fei said.

"If you are surrounded by people, it will be very bad. I don't think it is appropriate." Yang Zongmin still said so.

Yue Fei thought for a while and said, "Let's leave it to the officials to make a decision."

When Zhao Huan received Yue Fei's military report, he frowned and looked at it for a long time. Yue Fei's plan was an excellent strategy. This strategy of marching thousands of miles was not at all for the purpose of conquering the city, but only for one purpose, an armed march.

In Yue Fei's words, show off our military power!
Show your own strength to the Xixia people and the Xixia king, and let them choose their own position in the battle between the Song Dynasty and the Jin people.

Zhao Huan approved this order. In his opinion, it's a good strategy if you can't fight anyway. If Dong Shengwei is so stiff, it's not a problem.

Yue Fei did better than Zhao Huan thought.

After Yue Fei took the order, he took the Hejian Flying Army and ran towards Xingqing Mansion while the weather was still good, and this journey of thousands of miles, the news of success came frequently!

Conquered Yanfang and Yihe one after another, entered Shuofang City from Qingdamen, turned from Shuofang City to Hangjin City, and went straight to Wuhai and returned the same way. , but because the officials gave him a month.

The most dangerous thing for Qianli Zhuanjin is to be surrounded by the enemy, but Yue Fei's deterrence-based battle will not stay in one place for too long.

But Zhao Huan still only gave Yue Fei a month, and the counselors of the Privy Council and Yang Zongmin judged that if more than a month, there would be danger.

And this time, a total of eighteen counties and two prefectures were conquered.

It was exactly one month when Yue Fei returned to Yunzhong Road after returning home with a full load.

"The Xixia people retreated and fled in a hurry." Yang Xinzhong watched Yue Fei return from the Dongshengwei city, and welcomed Yue Fei and his party into the city with a smile on his face.

This trip, the Xixia people were almost scared to death.

When did the people of the Central Plains start to play this trick of traveling thousands of miles?
And it has already reached Wuhai, less than three hundred miles away from Xingqing Mansion!
Yue Fei took the water bottle handed over by Yang Xinzhong, and said with a smile: "I still stayed in some places for a long time, or at least I can hit Pingluo. The fighting power of the Xixia people is vulnerable."
