Chapter 212 Odds Geometry
Based on the information obtained, Zhao Qiong calculated that the Western Liao Dynasty's expedition to Yelu Dashi must have made a hasty decision. He did not have time to slowly assemble and prepare supplies and soldiers, so the materials preparations will definitely not be sufficient, but in order to grasp them.
He still launched the Eastern Expedition desperately at this great time, which was actually a big adventure...
The movement of thousands of miles is not easy in modern times, not to mention that in the era of eight hundred years ago, it was even more difficult. Especially in the Western Liao Dynasty, 70,000 people went deep into the army alone, and had to travel through the thousands of miles of desert and cross countless
A big river broke through several dangerous obstacles, facing the wind and sand, the storm that came and went without a trace, the invasion of rain, snow, wind and frost.
The Khitan soldiers, Xi warriors, and Turkic warriors from Western Liao have entered the Central Plains farming area for so many years, and their nomadic nature has been greatly reduced, and it is mixed with some Han people and Bohai people. Even if Yelu Dashi entered the Western Regions, it was a journey.
He walked over and did not kill him in one breath. He advanced to Ye Mili first, rested for a while before heading south into Gaochang, conquered twice, and finally grasped the Gaochang Uighur Kingdom firmly in his hands, and then he took Qihe westward
The region and stopped on the border for a long time before they suddenly advanced and annexed the Eastern Karakhanate.
If Zhao Qi was Yelu Dashi at this time, he would never have launched this expedition rashly, using Hu Siwuerduo as the starting point. It is too far away from the destination. Even if it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he would not have taken advantage of his family.
Go to bet. If you really want to attack the Jin Dynasty on a large scale, the best way is to first gather troops and horses and money in the eastern part of the empire, that is, the eastern part of the Gaochang Uighur Kingdom, and then contact the Xixia and the grassland nomadic peoples to establish an alliance to gain a foothold
After the land, they will advance to the hinterland of the Jin Dynasty together.
A large army has been expeditioning thousands of miles without logistics support. There is no supply point in the middle, and the number of troops will be less and less. The consumption of food and supplies cannot be replenished, and there is no strong support. If you cannot find a place to gain a foothold, you may not have waited yet
When he walked to the ground, he was exhausted and his troops were exhausted and he was unable to fight. So he felt that he was overreacting with the Western Liao Dynasty for Dading Prefecture after the army had just experienced the war, and he was suspected of taking risks.
But all of this concepts come from Zhao Xiao’s own analysis as the basis. Everything can be one in a thousand miles. He can mess up the original history, so Yelu Dashi’s Eastern Expedition Army may also be as big as a god’s help.
Dingfu, defeating the Jin army to gain a foothold. If that is true, its own strategy of destroying Jin will fall into a passive position. The battle between the two countries will become a battle for hegemony of the Three Kingdoms, which will consume countless money, grain and manpower, and the economy of the Song Dynasty will be gradually
The war that is indefinitely distant has been dragged down and has fallen into another turmoil, let alone ZTE!
Take the initiative and then take the initiative. Since you are going to fight sooner or later, you can't let Xi Liao get a bargain. If he just intervenes, he will let him retreat and dare not easily get involved in China. Become him well
King of the Western Regions. Since he had fought strongly, Zhao Qi decided to launch the Dading War again. However, he dared to do so but it was not entirely a risk. It was carefully analyzed. The main force of the Dading Prefecture Army had been attracted to the battlefield in Yanjing.
Dragging in Yu Pass, Dading was in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom and it was inevitable that fortifications would be relaxed. Unexpectedly, when the Song Dynasty dared to fight, it opened up a second battlefield again. It could have the effect of a surprise attack.
In terms of military strength, although the Western Route Army was the first to be put into the battlefield, they had always been feinting attacks and did not engage in large-scale battles with the Jin army. The troops were kept intact, and at the same time, they were always held in the hands of the emperor and did not let go, and the whole army was raised.
The desire to fight is like a tiger imprisoned in a cage. Once you enter the mountain, it will inevitably be unstoppable. Although the two armies of Yanjing were relatively tired after a series of battles, they were able to get close to the country to supplement them. After a short rest, they could recover their combat effectiveness.
The auxiliary attack mission he was responsible for was also in great victory, and his morale would not lose his mind.
In terms of supply, when the Song army landed, in order to prevent the landing in Yingzhou, they saved a large amount of property, food and grass, which was enough to support a war. The weather was cold and the weather was cold.
The advantages are that the roads are frozen and the rivers are frozen, which facilitates the marching of troops. In particular, heavy artillery can be maneuvered at will and will not be affected by the road, providing powerful fire support to other troops.
Another advantageous aspect is that the Jin Kingdom lost the three generals Wushu, Zongfu and Wanyan Xiyin at the same time. They are not ordinary people, but can be said to be the "Tiantian White Jade Pillar and the Sea Purple Golden Ray" of the Jin Kingdom.
Hearing that their defeat would inevitably cause shock to the whole country, the loss of a large number of troops would also cause them to shrink their troops and adopt key defense strategies. Liaodong, where the capital was located, was under the attack between the Song army, was under the border between land and sea, and became the top priority.
The mansion was attacked by the Song army, and they were afraid they would no longer dare to send troops to reinforce. Wu Qimai was terminally ill, and the dispute over the throne that could break out at any time would also put them in a situation of losing sight of one thing.
So, if Yelu Dashi's Wanli Expedition is a pure adventure in military blind action, then Zhao Qiong's actions are acceptable, at least 50% of them are in hand. Even if the competition fails, they can quickly cooperate with reinforcements arranged on the border.
Withdrawal from Yanjing will not suffer any major losses, resulting in serious damage to the vitality...
..............
Although Dading Prefecture, which was once the capital of Liao Zhongjing, was not the capital of Liao Kingdom, it was built in the middle of Liao and was at the time of national strength. It caught up with the Liao and Song ally for more than a hundred years, and after its completion, it was a few days after its completion.
It has been continuously expanded over the past ten years, and it has been built even better and larger than the capital Shangjing. First, it was second only to Shangjing's important capital, and later gradually became the capital of the middle and late Liao Dynasty.
Dading Prefecture has a rectangular shape, seven miles long from north to south and more than eight miles wide from east to west. The city wall is tall and thick, and a urn city is built with complete defense measures. An inner city is built in the city, and a palace city is arranged in the inner city, with layers of walls and walls between them.
Surrounded by moats, the fortifications are not inferior to Yanjing City. There are many temples and temples in the city, and there are also many handicraft workshops, merchants and street markets. Metallurgy and porcelain industries are quite developed. They are both a military city and a prosperous city.
Zhao Qi was born in a special forces army in his previous life. His combat operations focused on attacking him unexpectedly and defeating the more with less. After traveling through time, he brought this practice to this life. Whether it was acting or leading troops to fight, he liked to send surprise troops, conduct surprise attacks, and make
He cheated, and under his words and deeds, his bad behavior inevitably affected these generals under his command. After Zhao Meng was ordered to capture Dading Prefecture, he formulated a combat plan through the information transferred from the Military Information Department, because the Western Army was in
In the periphery, there is no cooperation of artillery and lack of heavy artillery to attack the city, so raids became the best choice.
Zhao Meng is a good student of the emperor. He would not have thought that he had already used a skillful tactic. However, if there were many pedestrians on the road, it would be impossible to attack like a capture of Pingzhou. He could only find another way. Since Dading Prefecture is located in the throat.
The area is well-developed, so it has become an important material distribution and exchange venue on the grassland. Caravans in various places frequently make it difficult to attract the attention of others. They can sneak into the city without knowing it...
At dawn, the dawn light first appeared, Dading City was shrouded in the morning mist, and the whole city was still sleeping, but a large number of cars and horses had gathered outside Zhuxia Gate, and there were piles of bonfires that were about to be extinguished on the roadside. They were all waiting.
Some of the caravans entering the city failed to arrive last night before the city gate closed and could only stay outside the city gate overnight. Some came overnight and waited for the door to open. The soldiers guarding the city gate were disturbed by Qingmeng and loudly shouted impatiently.
Cursing, very lively.
At this time, another caravan joined the waiting team, with a total of 30,40 large carts and a hundred pack horses, and there were also a large number of people. They squeezed forward as soon as they arrived. This behavior immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of others.
But looking at these people, they all had scimitars on their waists and murderous faces, not only the Khitans, Tatars, but also the Dangxiang people, they muttered and made way out.
Anyone who often travels to this area knows that the Song Dynasty blocked the border and prohibited trade with the Jin Dynasty. Some people took risks to start smuggling business in order to make huge profits, and inevitably clashed with the Song army. Therefore, these people are fearless and desperate.
The swords and guns face each other. In addition, the prosperous business roads attracted countless bandits and horse thieves. They robbed caravans in the desert and went to the city to sell stolen goods after they succeeded, and they were not good at stolen goods. Everyone was a businessman, so they naturally stayed away from them.
"I'm sorry, everyone!" At this time, a big man in a leather robe came over and smiled at everyone who looked at him. No one should offend him. He replied in a sloppy manner, "Brother, come from Yanjing,
Is the Daoer in the south easy to leave?" the man asked without any concern.
"Oh, the south is fighting very hard. The Southern Dynasty has occupied Yu Pass. Yanjing's business cannot be done. You can only go west in the future!" A shopkeeper shook his head and sighed.
"It's not easy to walk to the west. I heard that the Khitan Linya army has also come!" Someone said, and someone immediately said.
"It's okay, the city lord in Yuguan has already led his troops. Besides, there are tens of thousands of our army in Yanjing and two princes guarding him. I'll take it back sooner or later!"
"It's hard to say that the Southern Dynasty's offensive was very fierce this time. I'm afraid I can't resist it. What I'm afraid of is that I'm fighting all the way here, and there's really no way to go!"
"Brother, how is that possible? Yuguan is seven or eight hundred miles away. Even if you fight for a while, you won't be able to get here, otherwise you would have been allowed to enter the city long ago!"
"To be honest, the Southern Dynasties army would not fly, it was still early to get here!" The big man said in agreement, but his heart was relieved. These merchants had the most informed news, and they didn't know that Yanjing had lost.
The city is not much better, and I have a little more chance of winning.
"The city gate is open, we are entering the city!" As he was speaking, the gate of Dading Mansion was pushed open, the suspension bridge fell down with a bang, and the people rushed forward... (To be continued, please search for the flight
