94 North and South Military Situation(1/2)
At this time, in Zhenjiang City, as Emperor Zhao Gou and the ministers retreated, the people in the city had almost fled. At this time, the streets were fluttering in the wind, and there were only garbage and debris on the ground. No one was there.
No, it looked extremely desolate. Zhang Jun, with nearly eight thousand gathered troops, and the meals sent by Han Shizhong, each found some empty houses to eat.
After eating, the extremely tired soldiers all took a rest. The soldiers had to retreat for a whole night. Coupled with the fatigue from previous battles and retreats, even hardened men couldn't bear it.
At this time, the soldiers all fell asleep within a few moments. Anyway, Han Shizhong, who was in charge of the guard, said, just rest assured.
It's not that Han Shizhong was arrogant and didn't take the Jin soldiers seriously. It was actually because the Jin army was still looting in Jiankang and had no intention of pursuing the defeated Song army because of the scouting horse report.
Sure enough, all the Jin army troops were still looting in Jiankang. Only Shi Jianu led more than 2,000 people to chase the Song army to the outside of Zhenjiang City. They chased the Song army all night, and they were exhausted by this time. The special forces crossed a large area.

When Shi Jianu led his troops to the outside of the town, Han Shizhong had already made hundreds of horse-rejecting stakes overnight and lined them up. It would take a lot of effort for the Jin soldiers to just rush through the horse-rejecting stakes.
Not to mention that after rejecting the horse, Han Shizhong led the archers and spearmen to block the Jin soldiers. Not to mention that there were tall city walls and defenders behind to block the Jin army. If the Jin soldiers wanted to break through by force, they might be able to do so.
Instead, they were destroyed by Han Shizhong's soldiers. In addition, the Jin soldiers were now exhausted and had no strength to fight anymore.
The slaves of the Shi family had no choice but to dismount and rest, and sent people back to Jiankang to ask for help from the commander-in-chief Wanyan Zongbi (Wushu).
Seeing the Jin soldiers dismounting and resting a few miles away, Han Shizhong couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he boasted that the Jin soldiers could not move a step within two hours, with the one thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry under his command,
, if we want to fight a bloody battle with the Jin Army, I'm afraid that my own strength will be exhausted, and I won't be able to use these soldiers in places that need them more in the future.
Han Shizhong was a wise general. Under certain circumstances, he had a strategic position that allowed him to defeat many with less. However, to defeat more with less, you also needed soldiers. Once all the soldiers were used up, even if the gods came down to earth, Sun Wu would not be able to win the battle while he was still alive.
After Zhang Jun led his soldiers and horses in the city to eat, drink and rest, it was already evening. At this time, two more Jin Army soldiers and horses with about 4,000 cavalry, led by Jin Army generals Jinhua Guduo and Yinhua Guduo, also arrived.
Outside Zhenjiang City.
The Jin soldiers arrived and started making food at night, eating, resting, waiting for dawn, and launching an attack on the Song army when they were ready. Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and others in Zhenjiang City were not idle either, and they discussed it
For a moment, I felt that the main force of the Jin army was about to arrive, and we should not fight head-on with the Jin soldiers.
After all, the opponent is powerful, and the Wushu army behind the Jin army will arrive at any time. If they are entangled, it will be difficult for the two of them to escape.
The current situation was unfavorable, and Han Shizhong shook his head helplessly. "General Zhang, what do you think of the current war situation?" Han Shizhong asked then. Zhang Jun thought for a while and said: "At present, in terms of the combat strength of the two armies, the entire Jin Army
They are cavalry, and our army is mostly infantry, so it is not advisable to fight in the wild. Therefore, the most important thing is for the army to rely on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to block the Jin soldiers on the north bank of the Yangtze River. But Du Chong, the traitor General Zongze, was dying
All the previous efforts were in vain, first losing Tokyo and then the Yangtze River defense line. I heard reports that he had surrendered to the Jin soldiers! How abominable!"
Han Shizhong nodded and said: "General Zhang, don't be angry. Now Jin Wushu's hundreds of thousands of cavalry are heading south, and food and grass are always limited. In addition, I have recruited soldiers and horses from various places and built fortifications. It is not impossible to block all the hundreds of thousands of Wushu's cavalry."
of."
Zhang Jun smiled and nodded, and said: "General Han, you are right. Your ideas coincide with Zhang's. But you and I don't have many troops to send now. Thinking about the increase in taxes in the court after successive wars,
The lack of livelihood for the people in various places has led to the proliferation of bandits, and the situation has long been dilapidated. There are countless bandits under the banner of rebels. Some people only raised the banner to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but more people do it for their own selfish desires. They attack prefectures and counties, rob military supplies, and cause harm.
The common people. Old General Zongze worked hard to gather these people to fight against the Jin Dynasty. Old General Zongze gathered a million militiamen, but they were driven away by Du Chong. It is really sad! However, I heard that they were all killed by the people in the north.
King Xin was appeased..."
At this point, Zhang Jun didn't say much more, but everyone present knew that King Xin was born to Concubine Liu Guifei. He was more mature and upright than King Kang Zhaogou, who was born to Wei Cairen, and was more qualified to inherit the throne, so now
In front of Zhao Gou, it is best not to mention King Xin who is fighting against the Jin in the north.
Han Shizhong chuckled and said: "General Zhang, don't worry too much, as long as the Wushu army is entangled. The Wushu troops who penetrate deep into our territory and are continuously attacked by our troops will withdraw sooner or later. Those in the north were recruited by King Xin Qiansui to fight against the Jin Dynasty.
, is a good thing. As long as the bandits in the south wait for the Jin army to retreat, then we will be free to cut off the bandits in the south one by one. After all, they are just a group of rabble. When the time comes, the garrison in various places will strictly guard the city, as long as they let them
If they can't get food and grass, these people will break up sooner or later."
After Zhang Jun heard this, he stood up and clasped his fists and said, "General Han, I admire you so much!" Han Shizhong smiled and said, "Okay, General Zhang, you can lead your troops to retreat first. When you retreat, our troops will also withdraw. Wait."
After repelling the Jin soldiers, you and I will meet again." Then Zhang Jun resigned, and the two men immediately decided to let Zhang Jun lead his 8,000 infantry and cavalry troops to retreat first. Han Shizhong then led his troops to retreat.
The retreat directions of the two men were also different. Zhang Jun followed the footsteps of Emperor Zhao Gou and retreated south. Han Shizhong, on the other hand, had to hide on the spot and recruit troops in the surrounding areas to prepare for a fatal attack on the Jin soldiers in the future. At this time, everyone could rest.
When it was almost done, the whole army retreated.
After making the plan, Zhang Jun immediately led his army to retreat southward, running as fast as he could. When the morning star was in the sky, Han Shizhong led his soldiers, horseback and whip, and ran out of Zhenjiang City in a flash. Only thousands of gold soldiers were left behind.
He stayed outside Zhenjiang City and stared at the empty city of Juma.
When the sun rose the next day, the Jin army immediately launched an attack. However, when the Jin soldiers launched the attack, they were dumbfounded. There was no one in the city!
The Shi family slaves originally wanted to continue the pursuit, but the four thousand men and horses brought by Jinhua Guduo and Yinhua Guduo galloped all the way, and they were exhausted. They had no strength to pursue them. In addition, they were afraid that they would be ambushed by the Song army alone.
So in desperation, the three of them decided that it would not be too late to pursue them after the main army arrived.
At this time, in Qingshi City where the Jin soldiers were defeated, Zhao Zhen and Li Yuxuan counted the losses together, and they both lamented greatly. The militiamen had the weakest combat effectiveness, with more than 10,000 militiamen losing more than 7,000 people. Although many of them were disabled, but in the
Medicine in this era is very backward, and I am afraid that not many people can survive. Among the five armies, the Golden Dragon Army lost more than 2,700 people, while the other armies also lost about 500 or 600 people.
Just when Zhao Zhen was grieving for his dead and injured subordinates and the heavy pension, the beast came in from the door and said: "Zhao Zhen is a thousand years old, as you promised, you will dispatch strong men for training, and first give me Jin Junlong to replenish his troops." Special Forces Time Travel.
Prince of the Song Dynasty 94
When Zhao Zhen saw the ferocious beast coming in, he stood up and said: "Of course I will replenish your troops first." After that, he pointed at Li Yuxuan and said: "I don't care about your recruitment and training. Tell him, he will be responsible for this matter.
"
The corner of Li Yuxuan's mouth was crooked. He was the one who managed the hundreds of thousands of people in Qingshi City. He was still the person in charge of the construction project of Qingshi City. He was still the one who managed the business and exchanged the mirrors with the merchants of the Southern Family, and he was the one who exchanged glass for food, gold and silver. Now the army's logistics and even recruitment
The new recruits also became him. The helpless Li Yuxuan looked at Zhao Zhen sadly. He regretted that he brought people from all over the country to join this general Gao. He was treating people like animals! One person can handle more than a dozen people.
Errand!
The beast didn't care whether Li Yuxuan had any resentment, so he didn't say much to him. He just pulled him up and left. When they got outside the door, the beast pulled Li Yuxuan and went straight to the school grounds. When they arrived at the school grounds, Yang Fan, Zhao Xiaodao, Di Lei and Yan Chengfang
The four of them were already waiting there, and there were many newly recruited soldiers standing under the stage.
Of course, most of these soldiers are composed of militiamen who have experienced bloody battles, and the others are strong men who participated in the city defense battle, carrying stones and arrows for logistics. After this war, there was a shortage of soldiers, and it was temporarily unable to receive them from the General Commander's Office.
New soldiers can only be replenished on the spot.
Seeing the beast pulling Li Yuxuan over, Yang Fan smiled and said: "Brother Beast, oh, Mr. Li is here too. Mr. Li, these are the three thousand soldiers you selected for us from the militia and the strong men in the city. Let's share one with each other."
Divide it."
Li Yuxuan took out his arm from the beast's huge arm and said with a wry smile: "Two thousand new recruits will be sent in the next two days, so don't worry." The beast turned back and said with great joy: "Really?
Mr. Li is so efficient that he can replenish 5,000 troops for us in just a few days?"
Looking at the dumbfounded and surprised look on the beast, Li Yuxuan said again: "Beast, according to General Gao's military order, your Golden Dragon Army suffered the most heavy casualties in the last battle. This time, you will take away two thousand of the three thousand people first, and tomorrow's two
You choose eight hundred people out of a thousand people." The beast was happy now and immediately thanked the leader.
Zhao Xiaodao, Di Lei, Yang Fan, and Yan Chengfang, who were a little jealous when they saw Li Yuxuan taking care of the beasts like this, said anxiously: "But what about our army? We also lost hundreds of troops."
Li Yuxuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, each of your armies has lost about five to six hundred people, especially Zhao Xiaodao's personal guard right army has suffered the least loss, only losing more than 400 people. Today you each choose 250 people.
, the remaining ones will be selected from those who will be replenished tomorrow.”
The ministries led the new recruits over and began to practice to the death. Li Yuxuan returned to the Bluestone Fortress and saw the busy Zhao Zhen in the office lobby. He sighed helplessly and said to Zhao Zhen: "
Mr. Gao, our Qingshi City only has 25,000 soldiers, 10,000 strong men and 10,000 militiamen, but the 80,000 Jin army was defeated, and the Jin army lost more than 50,000 people. We, the Song Dynasty, have millions of troops, and the people
Yizhao. Why can't we repel the Jin soldiers, welcome back the two emperors, and capture You Yan to revive the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties?"
Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, looking at the angry look on Li Yuxuan's face, he smiled and said: "Master Li, this sentence was once asked by Commander Zongze when he was alive whether we believed in the current position of Wang Jun."
Marshal Yue Fei. At that time, Marshal Yue Fei said, as long as the civil servants are not greedy for money and the generals are willing to die, the world will be peaceful! I will also give this sentence to you. Mr. Li, as long as you follow me wholeheartedly, you will see it sooner or later.
I believe in the day when the king’s army repels the Jin soldiers, welcomes back the Second Emperor, seizes You Yan and captures the Liaodong Great Wall, and revives the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties and invites congratulations from all around!”
Li Yuxuan stared at Zhao Zhen closely and said: "General Gao, these words are too strong. I'm afraid they are not words that a controlling general can say. And I know that General Gao Pang is just a commander, why can he become a controlling commander?
All the armies? And it just so happens that the left and right personal soldiers of Wang Qiantose are all here? I sold myself to you, can't you tell the truth?"
Zhao Zhen smiled slightly. He already knew that Li Yuxuan should know his identity. He said: "I believe in Wang Zhao Zhen. Mr. Li, don't worry, follow me, I will not treat you badly. What I just said is
I speak from the bottom of my heart. In my lifetime, Zhao Zhen, I will definitely achieve all my ambitions."
"For His Majesty Qiantose's great ambition, Li Yuxuan, who holds a humble position, is willing to go through fire and water, even to the death!" Li Yuxuan immediately prostrated and kowtowed.
Early the next morning, Zhao Zhen got up and immediately started training new recruits and veterans with a group of generals. Standing at attention, starting, standing in formation, long-distance running, gathering in the dark, cross-country with heavy loads, and being attacked in the dark.
, jumping frog and climbing, riding horses and dancing with spears... A group of new recruits were drilled so hard that they were in so much pain that life was worse than death...
At the same time, Li Yanxian's Jin soldiers in Shaanzhou City also retreated. Li Yanxian was shocked when he learned that King Xin's army had defeated the main force of the Jin army. He quickly reported it to Zhao Gou's small court to express his merits for General "Gaopang".
At this time, Zhao Gou had no intention of paying attention to anything. He was being captured and fled by the Jin army searching the mountains and seas.
On this day, the generals were summoned to Zhao Zhen's central army tent, which was already crowded with people. The commanders of each army, the commanders of each battalion, and a group of generals, deputy generals, and generals were all there to see them.
Everyone had also arrived, and Zhao Zhen said loudly: "Generals, listen to the order!" There was a crash, and everyone stood there with their chests puffed out.
I heard Zhao Zhen say: "Now that the Jin soldiers are retreating, we must take advantage of the situation and go northward to open up our base here. From now on, Yang Fan's Shenlong Army will stay behind, and the other four armies will immediately be dispatched to prepare to go north. Qingshi City is under the responsibility of Yang Fan
Military preparation, Li Yuxuan is in charge of government affairs."
Yang Fan and Li Yuxuan clasped their fists and said: "Yes!" Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and continued: "Where are Zhao Xiaodao, Yan Chengfang, and Di Lei?" The three of them immediately stepped forward, clasped their fists and said in unison: "The general is here!" Zhao
Zhen ordered: "Starting from midnight today, the three of you will lead your troops to the north through Jiezhou City and Yanchi. During this period, you will march day and night, marching twenty miles a day. On the way, you can only disperse and walk along lonely mountain roads. Remember not to give way.
When people find out, if they encounter anyone on the way, they will all be arrested. Stop advancing after three days and assemble and stand by." When the three of them saw Zhao Zhen finish speaking, they clasped their fists and said, "I have the order."
Zhao Zhen continued to shout: "Where is the beast?" The beast hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "The general is here!" Then she heard Zhao Zhen say: "Command your troops and horses immediately, and in three days, follow me to escort 500 trucks loaded with firewood.
The cart was disguised as transporting grain to Fenzhou, which is occupied by our commander-in-chief's palace in the north. On the way, we put out sentries for twenty miles, and kept an eye on the surroundings at all times, and headed straight to the corridor west of the salt pond in the east of Jiezhou." The beast clasped his fists and said, "This is your order.
To be continued...
