Chapter 334 The army enters the empty city

It had been snowing heavily all night, and it was knee-deep. But because of the strong military situation, Wei Yang did not dare to delay in Lintong, so he led his troops westward early the next morning to attack Jingzhao Mansion. This time his army came west, no matter how successful it was,

Failure to occupy Jingzhao Mansion is a failure.

Holding a wooden stick in his hand, Wei Yang walked through the snow. At noon, he ordered the army to rest temporarily and eat something before leaving.

At this moment, two people came quickly from the front. The guards from the army brought them to Wei Yang and crossed their hands and said: "Commander, the people from the army sent to Jingzhao Mansion to spy on the military situation are back!"

Wei Yang nodded and asked the soldiers who came: "How is the situation in Jingzhao Mansion now?"

The soldiers crossed their hands and said: "Back to the government, hundreds of Jin troops who stayed in Jingzhao Mansion opened the city and fled early this morning. The elders in the city celebrated, gathered cattle, sheep, wine, and labor for the army, and they were already waiting at Baqiao. The people gathered there, waiting.

Take control of the city!"

"Oh——" Wei Yang was startled. "In which direction did the escaping Jin army go?"

The soldier said: "I heard that they fled to Xianyang. However, they were attacked by the people on the way. It's hard to say how many people could escape."

Wei Yang said with a smile: "The people in Guanzhong have suffered so much from the Jin people. How long will it take if we don't beat up the drowned dog now? We ordered the whole army to set off. We can't keep our elders waiting in Baqiao for a long time. After entering the city, have a good rest!"

There are two counties attached to Jingzhao Prefecture, Chang'an to the west and Fanchuan to the east. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wannian County was separated from Chang'an County, and then Wannian County continued to expand. During the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty changed Wannian County to Daxing

County. In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, changed Daxing County to Wannian County. For hundreds of years thereafter, except for a short period of time, it was always called Wannian County. In the seventh year of Xuanhe, Emperor Huizong, Wannian County was changed to Fan

Sichuan County.

The layout of Jingzhao Prefecture is very similar to that of Kaifeng Prefecture. It has two counties. One county represents the place name, Kaifeng Prefecture is Kaifeng County, and Jingzhao Prefecture is Chang'an County. The other one is Jiqing. Kaifeng Prefecture is Xiangfu.

County, Jingzhao Prefecture is Wannian County. Of course, Daxing is also an auspicious word. In later generations, when Beijing became the capital, there was Daxing County. However, Huizong of the Song Dynasty had always had a very strange idea. After changing its name to Fanchuan County, Chang'an said goodbye to the capital.

Baqiao is a bridge on the Bahe River near Fanchuan County. A posthouse has been set up here since the Tang Dynasty. People in the Tang Dynasty said goodbye to their friends when they were going east, and it was here that they sent them here, leaving behind countless poems. Today's Baqiao

It was extremely lively. The people had swept away the snow on the bridge. There were incense tables beside the bridge and wine and meat on the roadside. People with status in the city gathered at the bridge head and waited eagerly for the arrival of the army.

When Wei Yang's army appeared in sight, the people waiting at the bridge cheered.

Wei Yang stopped and looked at the welcoming crowd, feeling excited for a moment. When soldiers fight, in addition to the high-spirited passion on the battlefield, who doesn't look forward to the welcome of the people? After so many years of joining the army, this is the first time he has seen such a welcoming scene.

After crossing the bridge and drinking the wine brought by his father, Wei Yang looked back and saw that everything was completely white. Only the ten-mile long road from Baqiao to Jingguang Fucheng had been cleaned by the people.

Amid the cheers of the people, Wei Yang led his three thousand troops into Jingzhao City.

In Guozhou, the soldiers are busy preparing for the New Year. Although their families cannot be reunited, they still have to celebrate the New Year lively.

In the official hall, Wang Xiaolie and Li Yanxian were sitting at the table, listening to Wang Ruohai read Wei Yang's official document.

After Wang Ruohai finished reading, Li Yanxian said: "The attack on Jingzhao Mansion went so smoothly, it was like a dream! Wushu was blocked in Mianchi, and Fengxiang's Xiliduo had no one to stop him, so why didn't he come back to help Jingzhao?"

Wang Ruohai said: "Nu Liduo's army is divided into two groups, one is attacking Longzhou and the other is attacking Fengzhou. It is not easy to withdraw the troops. Moreover, there is Privy Council Zhang's army in front of him. If a flaw is revealed, what will happen?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "The original arrangement of the Jin army was to use Wushu to guard the pass, while Yinli Duo and Wanyan Huonv attacked. Who would have thought that Wushu would be so ineffective! They could not attack Guozhou, but instead lost Jingzhao Mansion. Damn it! From my point of view, Wu Shu will only be punished after this battle."

After saying that, Wang Xiaolie shook his head repeatedly. He remembered that Wu Shu was famous in his previous life, but who would have thought that it would be so ineffective in fighting. He easily mobilized the main force in front of his own army, leaving countless flaws.

In fact, among the generals of the Jin army, Wushu's record was relatively bad. In the battle against the Song Dynasty, he made a huge fuss in searching mountains and seas, but in the end it was all in vain. In history, he later attacked Sichuan and Shu, and was defeated many times. By the time of Yue Fei He counterattacked and was defeated first by Liu Qi and then by Yue Fei. However, Wu Shu was the son of Jin Taizu Wan Yan Da Gu Da. He was of noble birth and politically shrewd, and finally became the winner of the political battles of the Jin Dynasty.

Li Yanxian said: "In a battle like Wushu's, as long as we have tens of thousands more troops, we can surround him, Nianliduo, and Wanyan Huonv respectively, and annihilate them! Alas, it has always been said that the golden soldiers are difficult to fight. In fact, what’s so difficult about it?”

Wang Xiaolie said: "Jinglue, when you say this, you underestimate the Jin army. How many troops are needed to surround and annihilate it? Our current army does not have more than five times the strength, so we dare not say that we can surround the Jin army and annihilate it." There are 100,000 Jin troops in Shaanxi. Even if they are divided and surrounded, it is estimated that more than 200,000 troops will be needed to dare to win. This depends on geography and defending according to danger. If the Jin troops are allowed to join forces in one place, twenty Even an army of ten thousand is not enough."

Wang Ruohai nodded: "What Zhenfu said is absolutely true. Although there are problems with the Jin army's strategy, there is no ambiguity in the battle formation. Not only this dynasty, but also the Liao Kingdom also suffered greatly in those years, and the country was destroyed in more than ten years. !”

Li Yanxian frowned and said, "Is the Jin Army really so difficult to defeat?"

"It's hard to fight! It's very hard to fight!" Wang Xiaolie sighed. "The Jin Army fought extremely bravely and was very resolute in executing orders. What's commendable is that under such circumstances, their frontline generals were very flexible in fighting and not rigid at all. Like this The army is a very difficult opponent to defeat! Of course, this is caused by the environment in which the Jin Army grew up, their combat experience, and the stimulation of their battle results, and many factors. For the Jin Army, it can be said that the time, place and people are favorable. This situation is really not easy.”

Having said this, Wang Xiaolie sat down and looked at the map on the table. He added: "We must fully understand the combat effectiveness of the Jin Army. We must not get carried away and rush the army to fight with the Jin Army. We must be caught by the Jin Army." Given the opportunity, we won the first battle and completely annihilated the main force of our army. It will be very difficult later. It is not that the combat effectiveness of the Jin Army cannot be trained. But if you want to train such a soldier, you cannot be like the Jin Army, but you must have It is a feasible method that you can implement yourself. To put it simply, just training troops is not enough. It also requires political cooperation. It is a systematic project."

Li Yanxian nodded, seeming to understand Wang Xiaolie's words.

Wang Xiaolie's words were not imagined, but based on the experience of later generations.

The Jin Army at this time was similar to the German and Japanese armies during World War II. The army was well-trained, resolute in fighting, very powerful in organization, and extremely powerful in combat. Even if they were defeated, they still had many fans. Some people are particularly obsessed with their style.

It's like following a demon.

Facing such an enemy, the United States relies on national strength, the Soviet Union relies on military strength, and China has developed another style of army. This style of army is suitable for China. If you want to beat a dog, you don't have to let yourself become like a dog.
