Chapter 67 March

When he heard Yue Fei suddenly turned his direction and came to him, Talan was stunned and seemed to be completely distracted... This was not a pretending to stabilize the morale of the army, but a reaction from the heart.

The reason is simple, but the Song-Jin War lasted for four or five years. So far, the Jin army has never lost a field battle above the level of ten thousand people!

The Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they cannot fight! At this moment, there is still a saying that has not been made an exception!

And he, Wanyan, had left 10,000 people, and there were still fifteen Meng'an. Among them, there were no less than ten thousand Jin'an under the Mougui system, and he would be more than five or six thousand soldiers. How could he be afraid of these 20,000 Song troops?

In addition, although Yue Fei's move was considered a surprise attack, it was just a time difference. Calculate the time. As long as Yue Fei arrived there, he would be unable to completely break through this place within one afternoon. Then when Pucha Yubalu arrived in the evening, it would be a force of attack on both sides... However, in one afternoon, could the Song army really defeat him, Wanyan Talai and Fifteen Mengan?

But then again, Yue Fei, the actual commander of the Song army in this battle, also understood this point. He fully understood Wanyan's mentality of laziness, and what he pursued was never a clever plan!

Let’s talk about it, things like military tactics have always been extremely simple. The more self-righteous a brilliant plan, the more likely it is to have problems.

For example, in this battle, Li Kui came to surrender and never wanted to push Wanyan Talan to make specific choices. He was just here to convey the message. The fundamental purpose was to let Wanyan Talan make decisions as soon as possible, and it would be okay for Li Kui himself to be seen through, because Li Kui himself didn't know what Yue Fei was thinking.

So what was Yue Fei’s idea?

It's very simple. Yue Fei's real so-called "miraculous strategy" is just as simple as dividing troops from left to right... I'll divide the troops to attack your weak wings. Do you divide the troops to deal with it? You are a cavalry, you run fast and know it early. Should you go to the city to ambush in advance? As long as Wanyan Talai decides to divide the troops, whether it's going to Changge in the north or Linying in the south, you'll be trapped in the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, which gives the Song army the opportunity to concentrate their troops to Changshe City with more attacks.

In fact, Yue Fei believed that the reliance on this battle was clearly explained to the Zhao Guanjia the day before:

The key is that the Jin people have been going south for several months, and Wanyan Talan and his troops have been under Changshe City for so long, and they have gradually relaxed while exhausted.

The key is that as spring warms, the motorization capabilities of the Jin cavalry entered the ice flood season, and the rivers densely spread across the western Beijing area were greatly weakened.

The key is that Wanyan Talan has repeatedly moved south, and his conservative military attitude has gradually become known to many people, and he has never experienced it even though the Jin army suffered several setbacks.

The key is that after the Zhao Guan family came here to integrate the troops across the Fire, the Song army was full of morale in a short period of time, and the officers were willing to obey the arrangements. They could make bold and clustered military actions, and they could only make these actions in the past few days, and they would change if they were late.

The key is that everyone in the Jin army thought that the Song army could not take the initiative to attack the main force of the Jin army, but with the arrival of a emperor and the bold decision of a temporary responsible commander, the Song army came, and it came so resolutely and so aggressively!

These things, plus a simple and direct way to divide the troops and lure the enemy by relying on the advantage of military strength, are the real military strategy, the real strategic strategy at the strategic level... The battlefield where tens of thousands of people are on the battlefield, except for the number of people, morale, arms, and fighter jets, there is nothing to say. Even Han Shizhong's bravery can only reflect value in the most anxious place! What about the others?

Things like war are absolutely ridiculous at the micro level, but all the ridiculous things together seem to follow logic.

Back in front of you, the current situation of Song Jun is, just fight with the most resolute attitude!

Almost half a quarter of an hour after Yue Fei turned, as the smoke reserved along the way was ignited one after another, Zhao Jiu did not hesitate to start his Jinwu flag, and the first time the imperial army was in charge... Wang Yan's army took the lead, and the remaining seven commanders of the Tokyo Left-behind Division followed him, Wang Sheng and Niu Gao's troops followed him as guards... The Zhao Guan family himself personally wore armor and bows and rode horses with Li Qiong's troops as the guard center and the seven commanders of the Tokyo Left-behind Division were the central army. Yanling was almost vacant, and in a stance of burning boats, he smashed everything under the city of Changshe.

This news, because Ma Gao and Yue Fei's actions attracted a large number of whistle cavalry, and the number of troops attacked was a bit amazing, the news might be a little slower to be transmitted to Changshe City.

In fact, Wanyan Talan, who learned that Yue Fei turned, was first losing his temper and killing people.

It was not because of military information, but because he had asked his subordinates to watch over Li Kui, but Li Kui actually disappeared in just one morning... The rude-looking Song army commander bribed several leaders of the civil servant camp with the bag of pearls, and quickly gained a certain degree of freedom. Then, in a sufficient time, he rested his beard, threw away his armor, changed into the dirty clothes worn by the civil servants, and sneaked into the civil servant camp with chaotic management.

When Ta was too lazy to know that Yue Fei brought only 20,000 people to attack here, he didn't care at all, so he let Da? take the initiative to lead six or seven Mengan to cross the Qingyan River to fight, but he was preparing to take Li Kui to sacrifice the flag. However, Da? and the entire army were neatly dressed, but there was no one below. So he had to bring a few leaders of the civilian camp who had accepted the bribe and replace him.

After killing people, the inside and outside of the central army tent was in a mess. Big? He was about to throw down these bad things and attack this old man. But at this time the whistle cavalry came forward and reported carefully, saying that the direction of Yanling had suddenly been dispatched and came here. Although the specific number was not clear at the moment, the flag was tight and the troops were numerous. I am afraid that Yanling's main force would be all out!

The Yanling army had a total of more than 80,000, even if Ma Gao, who was in the north as a cover, was equivalent to Yue Fei, who went to the south, and the remaining soldiers were at least 40,000... In other words, the Song army coming here had actually reached more than 60,000! If we included the tiger in Xiashe City behind us that had not spoken, this afternoon, the fifteen Meng'ans of the Jin army here would probably be attacked by a large army of 70,000, which is nearly five times the fierce attack of the Song army.

At this time, Ta Lai became completely serious, but he ordered the messenger to go to Changge to pursue his son-in-law, while ordering Dada to give up attacking and defend only in the river circle... Of course, this order is better than nothing, because after the whistle cavalry chased him, Pucha Gubalu must have noticed Yanling's abnormal movements, and then he would inevitably turn back to rescue him. As for giving up attacking, isn't this nonsense? Two thousand and sixty thousand are the same?

However, since the attack decision has been cancelled, at this moment, the Jin army wanted to make extra preparations, and it was too late to go to time.

After all, the long-distance marching to maintain combat effectiveness is not the same as the marching marching that throws away everything... Regular long-distance marching is based on the large baggage carts in the army, so until the Napoleon era, his cavalry troops were still based on the speed of 40 or 50 miles a day, so Xiahou Yuan's three days, 56 days, 1,000, so Sima Yi rushed to Mengda, and the speed of 60 or 70 miles a day was called a military fact. However, when leaving the baggage and entering a pure battle mode, it is not the same. In this case, the cavalry can run for 70 or 80 miles in one hour, and the infantry can turn back twice in one day and night to cross the Yangtze River, crossing a hundred miles apart (Zang Ba did similar things).

When he returned to his eyes, according to the distance, Yue Fei suddenly turned back twenty-five and six miles away, and Zhao Jiu was about thirty-six and seven miles away from this place when he set out from the camp at Yanling City... So for the Song army to throw away everything, it was only half an hour to more than an hour, and he could take the battle.

After such a period of time, how many quarters of hours can I still have to remove the cost of running back from the whistleblower and killing Wanyan Ta?

This is exactly the case.

Just after Wanyan Talan learned that the main force of the Song army had left Yanling, Yue Fei had already led his army to the downstream area of ​​Qingwei River about ten miles from Changshe City, and was only about five or six miles away from the front line of the Jin army. Then he was not in a hurry and ordered the troops to take a final rest. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, some of the most elite troops began to wear the few armors ordered by the Zhao Guan family to gather, and put down the order to make the final march.

And two quarters of an hour later, that is, one quarter of an hour, Yue Fei's troops officially began to fight with the Jin army's position on the east bank of Qingyanshui!

The core positions of the Jin army were all located on the continent between Qingyanshui and Zhuiyanshui, that is, under Changshe City. At this time, because of the ten Mengans and the temporary decision of Talan, the main force gave up the plan to cross the river and fight on the east bank. Therefore, the positions on the east bank of Qingyanshui were extremely empty, and there were basically only some scattered subjugation Han troops and a Mengan Jin army. Therefore, after Mengan took the initiative to evacuate, this position almost instantly fell into the hands of the Song army.

This matter was expected and of course irrelevant, but at this time, another inevitable choice was placed in front of Talai.

"Dismant the floating bridge on the clear water to the east?" Talan, who was wearing armor and horses, looked at the Song army, who were densely packed on the other side of the river, hesitated for a moment when he was big on his side.

"Not bad." Young Big? Be careful to suggest. "The key to this battle is to delay time and wait for Pucha Wanhu to return to help. For the purpose of transporting food and grass, there are almost all floating bridges on the river. Now that the floating bridge is demolished, will we try our best to delay the Song army?"

"It makes sense! But it's not good!" Talan thought for a moment and shook his head slightly. "If the floating bridge is demolished, it will be unfavorable for the two sides to attack. If the main force of the Song army cannot be defeated before dark, it will be trapped in a night battle... It's not that we can't fight at night, but what should Han Shizhong do if he takes the opportunity to run away?"

This seems to make sense, big? There is nothing to say... In fact, this is impossible. It is hasty to face the challenge. Everything is right and everything is wrong. Until after the war, no one knows which decision is right or wrong.

"That's it, don't worry about those floating bridges. Just use these floating bridges to lure the Song army over. When the Song army is halfway through, you go forward and lead eight Mengan to attack head-on. Be sure to defeat these 20,000 soldiers before the subsequent Song army arrives." Talan finally looked at the Yue-character flag that was advancing very quickly on the other side, but finally gave a decisive strategy. "I will lead the remaining seven Mengan to guard Han Shizhong!"

The young Bohai royal family? Hearing this, he not only had no objection, but he felt relieved, so he stopped talking and immediately took a horse and was ordered to fight.

Talan looked at the sunlight that was already slanted above his head and returned to his former calmness... At this moment, in the heart of the right deputy marshal of the Jin army, there was such an equation:

In the battle of more than 10,000 people, one man was enough to defeat the three thousand soldiers of the Song army!

Therefore, the eight Mengans were enough to defeat 20,000 Song troops, so the twenty-five Mengans were combined to defeat all the Song troops on the battlefield... Therefore, the only thing to avoid in this battle was to let these fifteen Mengans fall into a state of being besieged by 70,000 or 80,000 Song troops.

That's all.

Just as Talan, who had not been wearing armor for a long time, cheered for himself, Zhao Jiu and Zhao's official family had already reached the Jiegou of Kaifeng Prefecture and Yingchang Prefecture, which were only twenty miles away from the right deputy marshal of the Jin army.

Here, Zhao Jiu followed the original plan to let the entire army take a break, and in order to prevent the raid, most of the soldiers also began to wear leather armor and slightly thinner iron armor before setting off again... Of course, except for Liu Yan's two hundred cavalry, the best armor was gone.

At this moment, Wang Yan, the former army, suddenly came to the horse and went straight to the dragon crow to find Zhao Guan’s house, who was drinking water, and then immediately put forward a proposal that exceeded the original plan:

"The official family, it is only twenty miles away from the front line. My front army can already see the fireworks in the front at the front. In addition, the messenger sent by Yue Fei's army when the final rest is restored, it can be confirmed that the battle is correct in front... Therefore, I specially asked the official family to issue an order to stop our Eight Character Army and run forward immediately! We will concentrate the cavalry in the army to launch first and support forward!"

"It is natural for the cavalry to start first, but the whole army runs forward. Do you still have the strength to fight when you are in front of the formation?" Zhao Jiu, who stood up hurriedly, was stunned for a moment.

"No need to fight immediately!" Wang Yan still did not dismount, but responded seriously. "At this time, Yue Fei must be competing with the Jin army for the floating bridge on the river. There are not many places to fight, and it is extremely difficult for the 20,000 troops to cross the river. Even if our army broke its legs, they could rest calmly on the riverside and then cross the river. Officials, for those who wished to win this battle, the key is whether they can defeat the Jin army with absolute strength in one breath, and there is no difference... Then if you want this, the continuous offensive is the key!"

"I'm going to discuss it!" Hu Yin, the civil servant who was the most important in the military, suddenly bowed to him. "Yue Zhenfu is not here, and the military should have decided to be the king here!"

When Zhao Jiu heard this, he no longer hesitated: "Since that's the case, Liu Yan led the cavalry first, and Wang Qing took the former military affairs and did not need to report it!"

Wang Yan was overjoyed and immediately left with gratitude. Liu Yan immediately ordered his troops to wear armor and galloped over a moment later.

Seeing that Liu Yan also set off, Zhao Jiu no longer delayed and ordered the entire army to set off again and follow the front army to follow.

Just two quarters of an hour later, the Song army reinforcements arrived one after another, and there were only a few hundred vanguard cavalry who arrived first, but the flag of the heavily armored cavalry in the lead made all the Jin army a little disturbed - the Chixin Team was originally acquaintances of many Jin army.

Not only that, although the formation of the Song army was a little chaotic, it continued to flow and rushed in quickly. Moreover, the characteristics of these soldiers also made all Jin soldiers realize their opponent's identity quickly - the Eight Character Army is also an acquaintance!

At this time, Wanyan Talan, who was watching the game, was already confused. The reason was simple. In the past two quarters of an hour, although Eight Mengans did not have any disadvantages in the scene, or they were indeed suppressing the Song army to fight, they could never quickly defeat them, defeating the so-called ten thousand Song troops who crossed the river during the half-cross and attack!

After crossing the river, the ten thousand Song troops did not take the risk of marching. Instead, under the command of the Yue-shaped banner, they rushed to attack the west bank of Qingbaishui, leaning against floating bridges, forming a hard array composed of multiple spears and hard crossbows, as strong as a mountain tomb.

This exceeded his long-term understanding of the Song army.

"Marson!" A Bohai Mouke rushed over and shouted from afar. "The Song army brigade is coming up, and my family is asking for some support from the marshal!"

Wanyan Tailan, who watched the entire battle situation on the rammed earth high ground of Jiangtai, knew the entire battlefield well and instinctively wanted to agree, but just as he was about to speak, a commotion suddenly appeared beside him, and a close servant took the initiative to pull him.

Talan followed the fingers of his confidant, and then began to sweat on his forehead. Because Han Shizhong's flag had already appeared at some ruins of the city wall in Changshe City, which had collapsed and blocked, was already there... It was like a hidden tiger staring at his back.

After hesitating for a moment, Talan gritted his teeth and replied to Bohai Mouke: "Tell me? I'll give him two more Meng'an, but tell him that he would not be allowed to take care of the casualties, and let him lead himself and dig into the Song army formation with me!"
