Chapter 177
On the Wang Tower at the top of Jingmen City, Wang Xiaoli, Jie Qian, Chen and Yi gathered together to watch the Jin army camp outside the city.
After a long time, Xie Qian said: "The Jin army set up a camp and was very cautious. All the Jin army's reconnaissance cavalry were destroyed outside the city these days. It seems that they were quite scared. The Jin army arranged this way, although it poses a small threat to our army.
It's a lot, but it's hard to deal with."
Wang Xiaoliu said: "You can't underestimate the Jin army! Last year, the Jin army crossed the river. These Jin generals first fought in Yangzhou and defeated Du Chong's army of 60,000. Later, they defeated Guangzhou and crossed the river from Huangzhou. They defeated Hongzhou and Tan.
There is no enemy in the city, Dingzhou and other cities. Even though they are arrogant, their troops can really fight. We must be prepared to fight hard with the Jin army for a few days. When they are exhausted, they will find a way."
Chen Yuyi said: "Looking at the Jin army outside the city, the camp is not strict, and the camp is also scattered, and it is not a very strong army."
Wang Xiaoliu said: "The Jin army started in remote areas and gathered and dispersed in wartime. This is how it is. It cannot be judged by common sense. The camps are strict and the camps are neat, which are the regular army, not the Jin army. Such arrangements are suitable for
The Jin army, there is no need to underestimate them. The important thing now is to find out the arrangement of the Jin army, especially where the rear army is."
The Jin army was less than 10,000, but there were nearly 20,000 slave porters. These people brought great convenience to the Jin army, but in wartime, they were time bombs. If used well, they would have miraculous effects.
Pointing outside the city, Xie Qian said: "Looking at the largest camp in the south, it is separated from other camps, it seems to be the porter's camp."
Wang Xiaoli said: "This is the territory of Zhijun, so I can only trouble you in this matter. At night, I will send a few locals out to find the porter in the Jin army. One is to understand the arrangement of the Jin army, and the other is to understand the idea of the porter.
”
Jie Qian said: "These porters are ordinary people from the southern states. They were forced into the army by the Jin army, so they naturally had extremely resentment. If they had their help, this matter would be twice the result with half the effort!"
Wang Xiaoli said: "They are all miserable people! The Jin army's morale is still strong and the control is strict. There is no need to provoke the porter to cause trouble. When the battle takes a few days, the morale of the Jin army will be wiped out, and then I will find a way."
After watching the arrangements of the Jin army, Wang Xiaoli and Chen Yuyi returned to the military camp.
Call Niu Gao and Wang Xiaoliu said: "The Jin army has arrived in front of the city. If what I expected is not bad, the war will definitely start tomorrow! Although we had the upper hand before, we cannot underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Jin army. Today, we will see the arrangement of the Jin army.
, Tomorrow, we should use the central army to attack our army."
Niu Gao said: "If this is the case, it is better for me to come to the central army! Although the Jin army is strong, our army may not be weak after so many days of training."
Wang Xiaoli shook his head: "No need. The Jin army is different from other armies and is particularly tenacious. When attacking, one wave retreats and another, and it continues to go on. You must be prepared to fight the Jin army for a few days. Niu
The three thousand cavalry in your army are of special use. In addition to the main army, the Jin army also captured 10,000 or 20,000 porters to carry the load. These people were not well-fed and covered with complaints. After fighting with the Jin army for a few days, they would be exhausted.
After the morale of the Jin army, his camp was not strict. At that time, you attacked the porter's garrison with cavalry, causing chaos——”
Speaking of this, Niu Gao didn’t know what it meant. He hurriedly crossed his hands and said yes.
Wang Xiaoli nodded. He was silent for a while and said, "This time, he saved Shanzhou, although he had won a great victory in the end, our army suffered a lot of losses. Especially the generals who led the army, a total of seven people died. I think about this two.
In 2018, it is so difficult for us to train a general! We have completely gained the upper hand in this war and we should not be like last time. Okay, go back and arrange it."
Niu Gao received the order and said goodbye and left.
Wang Xiaoli said to Chen Yuyi: "Senator to get some wine. I will accompany several commanders and deputy commanders tonight to make two drinks. In the battle tomorrow, they will be killed. The strength of the Jin army is unprecedented.
Although its strategic planning and combat command have its shortcomings, the battle formation cannot be underestimated. No matter how well the planning is, the two armies will be defeated and they will be unable to fight if they are attacked."
Chen Yuyi went to get the wine, and Wang Xiao ordered his personal soldiers to call the four commanders and deputy commanders of the central army to his commander's tent.
After hearing about drinking, eight generals entered Wang Xiaohunting's tent, and they were all worried. In any case, Wang Xiaohunting's army was not allowed to drink alcohol, even Wang Xiaohunting himself was no exception. Today, the Jin army arrived, Wang
It’s not right to ask for wine when hunting for a night, no matter how you think about it, it’s not right.
Seeing the eight people being held back, Wang Xiaolei said: "I like to talk to the point where I am. You don't have to guess. Today, the Jin army has arrived in front of the city, and it will definitely attack tomorrow. I estimate that the direction of the Jin army's attack should be
It is the Central Army. You are the commander of the Central Army and will fight with the Jin army tomorrow. I have prepared a small wine tonight, so I would like to drink two drinks."
Xue Cheng, who is more cheerful, said: "Defense says so, do you want us to drink deadhead wine tonight?"
Wang Xiaoli smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I will have to do my best tomorrow and relax tonight. Just sit there. There is no need to be restrained."
Everyone sat down. Chen Yuyi took the wine pot and poured wine for everyone.
Several generals hurriedly said, "How dare you let the Senate pour wine! It's not a bad general!"
Wang Xiaoliu said: "Tomorrow we will go to the battlefield, and you will benefit from it tonight. We are not allowed to let our personal soldiers come in, so the Senate pours wine."
How many people in the army don’t like wine? They set out from Xiangyang and arrived in Jingmen City for many days, but the wine was not dripped. When they smelled the wine in the glass, several generals were ready to move and couldn’t help it.
Wang Xiaoli raised his glass: "Let's drink one. Let's talk slowly."
All the generals thanked him. They raised their glasses and drank them all in one go.
The soldiers outside roasted a sheep and brought the meat in. With the nearby fruits and vegetables, everyone drank a few cups.
After three rounds of wine, Wang Xiaohunting said: "After arriving in Dengzhou, you are all new generals. I remember Xue Cheng, Ma Chengzhong and Wei Yang were the original Wang Jun people, and the rest were all after arriving in Xinye.
Selected.”
Zhong Ci said: "I remember the defense well. Those three brothers have been defending for a long time, but we have been defending for less than two years."
Except for the three who were originally Wang Xiaoliu and worked for the Wang Army, the others were the original official army and joined the Wang Xiaoliu Army for various reasons. During the training in Xinye, they were particularly outstanding and promoted to the commander and deputy.
control.
In Wang Xiaoliu’s army, the unified control of about 3,000 people is a basic combat unit. During wartime, you must charge forward and command in front of the battlefield. In small-scale battles, the command can lead troops to fight. If you go down, it will not be a formal battle.
It's right.
Wang Xiaoliu said: "Calculate the time, I have been to Dengzhou and Xiangyang for nearly two years. Xinye has been practicing troops for a year, and everyone has worked hard to finally have an army that can be fought this year. At the beginning of the year,
You have all made great contributions. Now we will fight against the Jin army in Beilai, and I hope everyone will use their lives."
Several people crossed their hands together and called it yes.
Wang Xiaoliu said: "I invite you to drink tonight because I have something to say. Although I have helped Shanzhou, everyone has fought with the Jin people. But to be honest, in Shanzhou, the main thing that fights with us is to ask for money.
The soldiers of the prefectures and prefectures, Lou Su's Jurchens retreated too quickly and suffered little losses. The Jurchens are different from other armies. If you hear too much, you should not take this seriously."
Xue Cheng said: "The Jurchen soldiers are particularly good at fighting, and we all hear a lot. But, are the Jurchens three heads and six arms? Otherwise, how could they be better than others? They will be better than others with knives and guns!"
Wang Xiaolei said: "The Jurchens may not be much better than other people, but they are particularly powerful in wars. This is a fact. When the two armies intersect, once the Jurchens start attacking, they will take turns to go up and never look back. One person dies
The descendants are over, and the team is over, and the team is over, and they will never give up until victory is achieved! The Jurchen soldiers are particularly able to endure hardships, are very persevering, and are especially obedient to orders, and are not afraid of death. Don’t think these words are legends, female
Real people are really like this! Once the battle starts, fighting for one day is nothing, and it is not uncommon to fight for a few days!"
After hearing this, the generals were silent for a moment. After a while, Zhong Ci asked, "Defense, the Jurchens fight, as the defense says, our ears are calloused. But, are they really like this?
It feels too exaggerated. How can an army in the world fight like this?"
Wang Xiaolizheng nodded in a key position: "It's really like this! I heard that when I saved Shaanxi at the beginning of the year, Shao Ling had fought against a Jurchen. They attacked one after another, and never stopped! If it weren't for my army, Shao Ling would have only
Can be entangled!"
Shao Ling was still in the area of Shanzhou, and the generals here in Jingmen did not go to war with the real Jurchens. Many people disagree with the legend of the Jurchens. They thought that the Jurchens had won too much, and the Song army exaggerated them.
Wang Xiaolie knew that it was not exaggerating. Indeed, the Jurchens' strategic abilities and combat abilities were not good, but on the battlefield, the Jurchens were the king at this time. Once the attack began, it would surging like a tide, regardless of life and death.
The Jurchens had harsh military laws and soldiers were brave and fearless, which had many advantages. This was a typical invasive strong army and should not be underestimated. To a certain extent, the characteristics of the Jurchens were similar to those of the later German and Japanese troops, especially the Japanese troops.
The strategic vision is not good, and they are also strong on the battlefield and are also aggressive. When they first start, they are like storms and unstoppable. They have a kind of animal nature and bring this animal nature to the extreme.
Wang Xiaolie does not like such an army, but he will not underestimate such an army. His own army cannot fully exert the subjective initiative of soldiers without being tempered and tempered. It will be very difficult to face such an army.
After all, the same thing is said. No matter how good the marshal's strategy is, and the general's command is properly, his army will collapse at a touch on the battlefield, and it is impossible to win a battle. All kinds of planning and commands require an army that can conquer and fight well.
OK.
Seeing that Wang Xiaolie spoke very seriously, the generals finally understood why they had to drink tonight. Because tomorrow, they would face a fierce battle. Even though the Song army now has the advantage and even if the Jin army is rushing for a long distance, tomorrow's war will still be
Chapter completed!
