Chapter 217: Taiyuan Raiders (1)
On March 15th, the originally planned three-month coordinated combat training was interrupted due to the abnormal movements of the Taiyuan Jin army. The Taiyuan Battle, which Di Lie originally planned to launch in June, had to be three months in advance.
This is really too hasty for Di Lie, who has not completed a lot of preparations and has just expanded the First Army.
However, the opponent did not have the obligation to prepare calmly for Tianshu City and Tianzhu Army. Han Qinghe's actions in Shouyang became more and more obvious. His ranger whistle detectives even approached the defense line of the Great Wall of Dingxi Guguan.
Fighting with the Tianzhu Army Patrol, each with victory or defeat. According to the General Staff, if there is no accident, Han Qinghe will have more than 70% chance of being in the next ten days and will launch a Tianzhu Army stationed in the Punishment of the Guguan.
The tentative attack of the White Horse Brigade. This is still considered the impact of the rainy season. If this factor is excluded, the possibility of Han Qinghe launching an attack will reach more than 90%.
This means that the Taiyuan Jin Army was bound to launch an attack on the pacification.
The enemy attacked naturally and wanted to fight back. The Tianzhu Army had no tolerance and no need to show weakness. In Di Lie's dictionary, there was no passive waiting for the enemy to attack wantonly, so the words "I can't help but fight back" such a good defensive attack.
In an excellent place, Di Lie still had to lead an army to fight and block it step by step, not to mention that the area of Xiguan is far less than the steep terrain of Waiheguan.
Either don’t fight, if you want to fight, you have to take the lead. And you must hit until the enemy is trembling in pain and dare not show up again.
This is Di Lie's war logic. To deal with Wanyan Aguru, to deal with Sali Yuru. To deal with Wanyan Zongfu... Now, facing this Dragon and Tiger King, it should also be so.
Han Qinghe is coming, right? You don’t need it anymore, I’ll call it first! Wanyan Tuhe wants to make trouble, right? No need to trouble, I’ll come to you directly to trouble you!
Although the material preparations are not sufficient, although the new tactics of the First Division have not been fully adjusted, although the training of the recruits has not been completed, and even the Tianshu City and the Tianzhu Army are not mentally prepared to fight a big battle... Although this is the case
There are so many shortcomings, but war will never wait until you are ready to start.
The enemy invaded, and there were guns and knives. There was nothing. You could stab the chrysanthemum with sharpened sticks... If you were well prepared, you would stab it harder; if you were poor, you would stab it gently. Anyway, you would stab it gently.
It's pain, it's that simple!
After one month, the civil officials and generals of the Tianzhu Army gathered together again. However, the gathering place this time was not the magistrate's office, but the conference hall of the First Field Army's military department next door. There were also much fewer staff than last time, especially the civil servants.
There were only a few people including Chen Gui, Zhang Jiao, Hou Fangjing, Wang Youzhi, etc., and the rest of the officials, including the two princes, were not present.
The generals arrived relatively well. Even Guan Zhongyong, the commander of the second mixed brigade who was not present when the Tianzhu Army expanded its army, rushed back from Jinan. Ma Kuo originally wanted to follow him, but Di Lie considered that the war was about to come, so he was
The front line cannot be separated, and I don’t want Ma Kuo to have any connection with Zhao Zhen after he comes back. If any demon moth is created, it won’t matter how Zhao Zhen will deal with it. But it would be a pity for Ma Kuo to have talents like him.
Ma Kuo has already been in the wrong team once, Di Lie does not want him to stand in the wrong team again. Otherwise, no matter how much he appreciates this person, his team will find it difficult to tolerate a person who repeatedly stands in the wrong team in politics...
For the purpose of protecting Ma Kuo, Di Lie asked King Ji Zhao Xu and King Xin Zhao Zhen to jointly sign an imperial seal and appoint Ma Kuo as the governor of Jinan Prefecture. This appointment is very different from the prefect (prefecture) that has always been appointed by the Song Dynasty. It is not only
There is no "knowing the affairs of a certain military and state" or "knowing the affairs of a certain military and horse", which means that the horse has no military command power. Guan Sheng manages the army, the horse has expanded the affairs of the people, and the military and political separation. This is Di Lie's
The administrative techniques that the forces in Tianshu City have always used.
After the generals and officers at the Tianzhu Legion level and above gathered together, Deputy Chief of Staff Ling Yuan first announced the discipline and precautions of the meeting: "1. No records are allowed, only silently remember them. If they cannot be remembered completely, there will be a dedicated person to convey this when the action is done. Don't worry about this.
; 2. The content of the meeting is first-level top secret, and participants must strictly observe the confidentiality regulations. If you hear, see, and leave this door, you must keep your own mouth in mind. Even if you are close relatives, you must not disclose it.
If there are any violations or leaks in the above two articles, the responsibility will be held based on the severity of the circumstances, and the upper limit will not be capped!"
The last sentence "No top limit" was heard by the people of the congregation. Needless to say, the old people from the Tianzhu Army were full of tremors. Newcomers such as Fu Xuan, Wang Zhongzhi, and Liu Ze were all terrified. Their **
During this period, I almost didn't practice anything else, and I kept practicing military discipline. The army had whipped, beaten, and shackled many people, and even beheaded more than a dozen people, including old brothers and backbones in various villages.
The corporal almost made a mutiny over this matter. Fortunately, before Di Lie took action, the brigades cleaned up their own homes.
Who doesn't know the strength of the Tianzhu Army in his heart? How could he be in trouble with a group of stupid subordinates? If you want to abandon it, you will give up and be ruthless. Not to mention, after removing those thorns, the training of each unit is done.
Performance is rising straight. After this, the ** division, who is very familiar with the military discipline of the Tianzhu Army, is even more aware of the meaning of "no top limit". Now, we are ready to be determined.
Note that when you leave this door, you have to open your eyes when you sleep, so as not to let your mouth miss you in your dreams.
Di Lie looked around the generals in the hall and slowly spoke: "You have read the analysis of the General Staff and the battle report of the White Horse Brigade. Tell me how to deal with it?"
"Fight!" He Yuanqing roared very simply. Then Yang Zaixing, Guan Zhongyong, Zhang Li, Shi Zhihe, Yang Zhechong, Yang Fen, Gao Liang, Zuo Kai, A Shu and others all agreed.
"Planning the army and preparing for war." Fu Xuan said two answers that can be attacked and defended on behalf of the ** Division.
On the other side of the civil servant, as usual, he only wears ears.
Di Lie nodded: "It seems that the opinions of the divisions and brigades are consistent about the war. So now we have three choices: 1. After annihilation of Han Qinghe, the Jin army may not dare to commit the crime again after the small punishment of the big punishment. I
The army continued to train troops, and had a good opportunity to calm down; 2. First, destroy Han Qinghe, and then seize Shouyang City, and add a lock to pacify the west gate. This lock will not be opened for a day, and there will be no danger to pacify the west of the pacification; 3.
Han Qinghe seized Shouyang City and took Taiyuan directly!”
The last sentence "Tao Taiyuan directly" is even more scary than the sentence "No top-up". This time, let alone the group of Taihang heroes who have just been incorporated by the ** teacher, even Guan Zhongyong, who has always been very confident in Di Lie,
Li, Shi Zhihe, Yang Fen and others were all surprised and looked at each other.
The warlike man He Yuanqing grinned: "Taoyuan! Very good! We have been staying in this mountain valley for too long, so we should move. The beautiful Taiyuan City is indeed a good place."
Yang Zaixing sat on the chair, with a tall body and a solemn military posture. He looked straight ahead with his eyes. He just said calmly: "The sword has been sharpened for half a year, and now the sharpness has appeared. It should be time to show it to the enemy."
Fu Xuan, Wang Zhongzhi, Liu Ze, Zhao Bangjie and others looked at each other, and they all saw a look of horror in each other's eyes. Take Taiyuan! This proposal is so amazing. There is a full 20,000 gold army there! And Tianzhu
The entire army had only more than 20,000 people. They used 20,000 to surround 20,000. It was still a strong city with only one crazy mind. How crazy is this?
Fu Xuan held it in for a long time, but still ignored Liu Ze and Zhao Bangjie's eyes. A sentence appeared: "I'm afraid of being reckless."
Di Lie looked at Fu Xuan and smiled and said, "Mr. Fu doesn't keep it in his words. Our Tianzhu Army has always spoke freely when we have any opinions and suggestions. If you have any opinions and suggestions, please feel free to discuss them together."
Fu Xuan felt relieved and had been in contact with Di Lie for a long time. He could see that the city lord was indeed not the kind of person who could not listen to opposition. He was bluntly speaking: "Our army's strength is similar to the enemy, and his military strategy is
If there is a 'multiple, attack it, and if there is ten, encircle it', annihilate Han Qing, and seize Shouyang's strength, and take Taiyuan... I'm so reckless! In my opinion, the first one is a good idea."
Wang Zhongzhi also said: "Now the Jin army is attacking from all directions, Huaihe River, north and south, Guanzhong, east and west. Once our army is facing Taiyuan and fails to defeat for ten months, all the Jin army will definitely encircle in all directions. At that time, our army will be in a dilemma.
Realm. The city lord, it is not easy for the Tianzhu Army to have today! You must be careful!" Wang Zhongzhi had seen the Tianzhu Army exercises the tactics with his own eyes. He is more confident in the combat effectiveness of his army than Fu Xuan. His words are as follows
I mean, prefer the second one.
Guan Zhongyong also said: "The Jin army besieged Taiyuan that day, and led the Jin chief Wanyan Zonghan, with a force of 60,000 troops; and there were only 3,000 victories in Taiyuan City, plus more than 10,000 people to help defend. The force was so strong
The huge gap, but Taiyuan City could still last for nearly nine months until the city was exhausted and the enemy was defeated. Now nearly 10,000 gold troops are defending the city, and our army has put all its strength into two or three thousand.
Apart from the remaining troops and the large number of auxiliary soldiers, the troops who invest in combat have no advantage. In terms of time, there is no advantage in us, we cannot take nine months to attack the city, and even not even ninety days.
There will be…”
All the generals were silent, but neither Yang Zaixing nor He Yuanqing spoke.
Shaoqing, Zhang Li said, "Taiyuan is to pacify the side of the collapse, pacify is the nail in Taiyuan's eyes. Our army and the Taiyuan Jin army will have a battle sooner or later, but our first army has just been formed and the training and running-in has not yet been completed. At this time,
We are in a hurry to fight, but we don’t have much control. We should postpone the Taiyuan Campaign, train and prepare, and eat Han Qinghe’s troops at the same time, and take the opportunity to take down Shouyang and confront the Taiyuan Jin Army. We should wait for our army to prepare enough
After that, it will not be too late to launch the Taiyuan Battle.”
Zhang Li's strategy of attacking and defending, combined with the current actual situation of the Tianzhu Army, was approved by most of the generals attending the meeting. Even Chen Gui, who was listening, nodded in praise, but Zhang Jiao remained silent and glanced at Di Lie from time to time.
, look at the generals sitting on the ground and shake their heads gently.
Di Lie waited for a while, and saw that no one had made new ideas, and then said in a deep voice: "I have understood your ideas and suggestions, mainly because we believe that the difficulties and disadvantages facing our army are not enough to launch a
A large-scale battle. When the time is not ripe, the battle hastily went out. Once the battle is unfavorable, it may fall into a siege and ruin this hard-won good situation. Do you all think so?"
All the generals nodded, even He Yuanqing, who was eager to attack, saw Yang Zaixing hesitate and nodded, he also slowly followed suit.
Di Lie continued calmly: "It's good for you to think this way, but no one seems to mention the advantage of launching the Taiyuan Battle at this time. Then I will talk about it and ask you to make a judgment."
"First talk about the necessity of launching the Taiyuan Battle at this time. Where our Tianshu City is located is in Taihang, the Jingxing Road is in the east and west attack of the Jin army. From Jingxing to the east, it is Zhending, an important town in Hebei, and the west.
Facing Shouyang, it is Taiyuan, the central hub of Hedong. Have you ever thought about what would it be if the Jin army in the east and west towns were attacking our Tianshu at the same time and pacified the two cities?"
Di Lie's assumption made the civil and military generals take a deep breath. If such a situation really occurs, it goes without saying that Tianshu City will definitely suffer major losses. It would be fine if there is a problem in the east, and it is used properly.
Hundreds of people can stop thousands of troops; but the west is not as dangerous as the terrain, and the fields of villages and fields within a hundred miles outside the city are full of spring plowing people. Once the iron hooves break in, the consequences will be unimaginable...
Yang Fen let out a sigh and said, "Fortunately, the Jin army in Zhending Prefecture in the east has been severely damaged by our army. It is impossible to pose a threat to our Tianshu City in the short term. Taiyuan in the west has not yet
We attach great importance to our army, first kill its claws and then seize its city (Shouyang). As the city lord said, as long as the lock of Shouyang is not broken, it will be pacified to the west, or even the entire one will be pacified, it will be safe."
The generals nodded repeatedly and said that they had a new evaluation of the significance of the battle of the day.
"It's March now, and the real deposit army is unable to re-invade. The Taiyuan Jin army still underestimates our army, but what I want to say is, what if the time is delayed until June, July, or even after August and September? We are ready to go more
Full, the combat power is stronger, what about the enemy? Half a year later, will the Jin army in Zhending Prefecture return to its state before September last year? Now in Jingdong, the Jianghuai area, the Jindong Road Army Wushu, which is extremely fierce in fighting with the Jianyan Army.
Will Wanyan Benji be transferred back by Wanyan Zongfu? When our army defeated Han Qinghe's troops and captured Shouyang, forming a threat to Taiyuan, it is a guide to Wanyan Loushi in Guanzhong and ravage Beijing.
Wanyan Yinshuke in the West, Wanyan Balisu and other Western Army will not lead their troops to gather in Taiyuan to form an absolute advantageous force for our army?”
The questions raised by Di Lie may be completely suppressed by all the officials present, and no one can speak. Yes, if you are ready, the enemy will not stagnate; you will change
If you are strong, the enemy will not be as pitiful as you. If you are in trouble, the enemy will be as difficult as you. When you overcome the difficulties, the enemy's strength will also make great progress, no matter how much human, material, military, and gold
The army is stronger than the Tianzhu army. At present, the two towns of the Jin army have not recovered, and the other has not received enough attention. Once the enemy in the east has completed the dispatch of troops and generals, the enemy in the west has lost troops and lost generals.
I woke up from the blow of the lost city. Is Tianshu City still easy to deploy as calmly as it is now?
As long as you think about it, the east and west armies were all staring at Tianshu City as if they were facing a great enemy, gathering the army to form an encirclement. Everyone couldn't help but feel their scalp tingling. The most terrifying thing is that this situation is almost certain.
It will happen, it's no need to say that the right deputy marshal was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bite Di Lie a piece of meat. But he had enough troops in his hand, no one would believe that he could hold back his wrongness.
Shucheng takes action.
As for Taiyuan in the west, yes, Wanyan Tuhesu does not take the Tianzhu Army too seriously at present, but once the Tianzhu Army annihilates Han Qinghe's troops as planned and then captures Shouyang City, as long as Wanyan Tuhesu has not yet
If you become arrogant and become crazy, you will definitely treat the Tianzhu Army as a great hostility. It feels good to be valued by the enemy, but when facing thousands of troops, you will not be so happy.
Chapter completed!
