Chapter four hundred and eighty sixth decisive battle on the western front
The Song army on the eastern front was stationed on the northern border of Goryeo, and had logistics supplies. In addition to transporting grain from Mizhou by ship, Goryeo was also continuously transporting grain and grass in a steady stream.
Adhering to the mentality of not sending troops without eating and drinking, Wang Bing’s defense line on the Eastern Front can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.
Wang Bing has a big characteristic in fighting. He is not very good at attacking battles, but he is a good defensive battle.
In the words of Wanyan Zongwang, Wang Bing was just a turtle hiding in the turtle shell, and he didn't even make any noise.
For Zhao Huan, Wang Bing was undoubtedly a tiger general who constrained the Jin army on the Eastern Front.
In terms of strength, Wanyan Zongwang is the most capable general in the Jin Kingdom.
Originally, the Jin army planned to quickly end the war on the Eastern Front, invade Goryeo, and make up for the losses in the war from Goryeo.
But unexpectedly, Wanyan Zongwang launched more than a dozen attacks, all of which were defended by Wang Bing.
Until the army of the Zongshi arrived in Xianzhou, the troops were on their backs, which began to make Wanyan Zongwang uneasy.
Wanyan Zongwang no longer dared to attack at will, but at this time he was already in a dilemma.
On the coastline of the Bohai Sea, a large number of Song troops were landing and gathering.
Their actions were very fast, quickly occupying the villages and cities there, forming solid barriers on the border between Goryeo and Jin to the narrow strip of the northern coast of the Bohai Sea.
And a sharp blade is exposed, which can attack and retreat or defend.
Such a long front made Wanyan Zongwang too tired to deal with it.
On the Western Front, after Yang Zaixing won the battle, Yue Fei's army was also advancing steadily and approaching Fengzhou.
On the way from Shangjing to Shenzhou, there were endless Jin soldiers.
Some of them were wearing regular army armor, holding long swords, and saying vulgar words. They just finished eating the meat they snatched from the farmhouse, which made them full of strength and looked a little irritable.
They could also go to the next village where there were beautiful girls.
Some of them did not have armor, especially the treasury of the Jin Dynasty court could not support such a large-scale army. These people picked up the axes and bows and arrows they had hunted before, and wore leather and straw sandals, which looked very rampant.
Wanyan Zongpan's comprehensive implementation of the sinicization, the political situation was destroyed, especially in the war-torn era, the atmosphere of the barbarians in the Jin Dynasty soared unprecedentedly.
The Han forces were suppressed in domestic history without any exception. Wanyan Tan strongly advocated the Jurchen supremacy theory, and all ethnic groups should work together to fight against the Han people.
He began to instigate all non-Han people to take up weapons and go south to attack the Song State.
Under his description, the South is a country full of gold.
There are endless meat, endless wine, and endless silks.
Women are more beautiful than flowers. Their skin is like white snow, their hair is like black jade, and their eyes are like the waves of the Tianchi Lake.
In Wanyan Tan's mouth, the Song Dynasty was a fairyland on earth.
As long as you repel the Song army, you can cross Hedong and Hebei again and face the prosperous Tokyo city.
On July 6, Wanyan Tan personally went south from Beijing to Shenzhou to supervise the war.
The Jin army gathered 300,000 troops in Shenzhou and had 5,000 musketeers.
At the same time, the Jin army also had a series of firearms such as thunder and fierce turbulent oil. In terms of city defense, the Jin army made sufficient preparations.
In addition, large stone cannons were also prepared.
These advanced equipment are the legacy of the Liao Kingdom and the outstanding works of Han craftsmen.
From a macro-strategy perspective, Wanyan Tan wanted to defend Shenzhou first and lock the main force of the Song army in Shenzhou. At the same time, he had high hopes for his Eastern Front Army Wanyan Zongbi.
There are reasons for strength and political motivations.
Looking at the three armies of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Zongwang was on the front between the Jin Dynasty and Goryeo. Once Wanyan Zongwang defeated the Song army, his mission was to invade Goryeo, and his influence on the Song Dynasty was limited.
Wanyan Zonghan led the main force of the central army to fight against the main force of Yanyun, the Song Dynasty.
Such an arrangement seems to place Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan in an important position.
In fact, the one who really took the biggest advantage was Wanyan Zongbi of Fengcheng.
Wanyan Zongbi not only has 30,000 Tiefutu, but also 50,000 kidnapped horses. The total infantry force is also a source of power.
Continuous replenishment, reaching 200,000.
Wanyan Tan gave him high hopes, hoping that he could defeat the Northwest Army of Song State there and march straight into the territory of Song State from there.
Once this happens, the Song army on the front line will inevitably be unstable.
As long as Zhong Shidao besieged Chenzhou and could not be conquered for a long time, the Song army on the front line was in chaos and collapsed.
Therefore, Wanyan Tan believes that the key point of this war is to defeat the Northwest Army of the Song army.
As for his strong mobilization of troops to Chenzhou and advocating in Shenzhou to defeat the Song army from here and attack Juyongguan, he just wanted to attract the attention of the main force of the Song army.
While mobilizing a large army to gather in Shenzhou, Wanyan Dan urged Wanyan Zongbi from Fengzhou to end the war as soon as possible.
Yue Fei's total force increased to 200,000. After obtaining Fengcheng's anti-city layout, Yue Fei decisively launched a siege on Fengcheng.
In fact, Wanyan Zongbi used the tactic of strengthening the wall and clearing the fields to isolate the Song army on the grassland.
The front line of the Song army extended very deeply, and the supply of food and grass in the rear was always disturbed by the Jin army.
On July 12, the Jin army still harassed small-scale behind the Song army as usual.
But the Song army on this day was different. Yue Fei brazenly launched a siege on Fengcheng.
On this day, the Jin army at the top of Fengcheng City could see the boundless Song army appearing from the distant horizon, densely packed, rolling towards this side like a silver torrent.
The swords and guns are like forests, and the flags seem to be more concealed than the sky.
Yue Fei's army was in full swing, and the heavy infantry under Liu Qi had been replenished with beef for a period of time. They were very strong and had strong qi and blood.
Even his eyes are firm and energetic. When walking, every step is powerful and uniform.
The ground seemed to be shaking and trembling as the pace of the Song army rose and fell.
There are also musketeers, heavy cavalry, light cavalry, archers...
The Song army was all wearing armor, and the armor was different depending on the type of troops.
The horses of heavy cavalry will be slightly short, but they are full of endurance and are covered with heavy armor.
Light cavalry has armor, but more of them are leather. The horses are tall and will run faster and faster.
Heavy infantry is the Great Song Infantry Armor, and the whole body is equipped with about 70 kilograms. This weight is too heavy for the Song army in the past.
But for the current Song army, they are already used to it.
Each of them was wearing a bronze ghost mask, and even if the thunder exploded in front of them, they would not hurt them.
The saber-killing saber-killing saber-killing saber-killing saber-killing saber-killing saber-killing saber-killing saber-killing saber-killing saber-killing saber-killing saber-killing saber-killing saber-killing saber-k
A well-trained Song army was able to kill a war horse rushing over with one sword.
In the mixed army, there is an army that is very dazzling. They are wearing light armor and will move more rapidly. Everyone has a silver flintlock rifle in their hands.
The gun body is about three feet long and has a blade of two feet in front.
Behind the army, the best protected were thirty iron cannons, which moved with the army, and each muzzle exuded a majestic aura.
The Song army advanced about three miles to Lifeng City and stopped.
Because outside Fengcheng, there were also Jin troops standing by.
ps: Haha, it really requires the blessing of strength! I started writing after working one day today when I came back to work in the evening.
I originally planned to write an update last night, but I didn't realize it enough to fall asleep when I fell on the bed.
Chapter completed!
