At noon on December 28, Xiongzhou fell into the hands of the Song army, and this important military defense town at the junction of the Kingdom of Jin and the Song Dynasty was torn apart by the Song army.
When Jin Wushu heard about the Xiongzhou battle report, it was already the early morning of the 29th. It was still dark outside and the wind was howling, and Jin Wushu looked gloomy.
The fall of Xiongzhou far exceeded his expectations.
He immediately wrote a letter to Bazhou, and wrote a letter to Han Chang who was stationed in Anci County (Langfang), asking him to stand ready.
Finally, he wrote another letter to Wanyan Xiyin in Zhuozhou, urging him to defeat the Song army as soon as possible.
Although Wu Shu was shocked, he didn't feel that he had lost control of the situation.
Because in his opinion, the Song army's victory over Xiongzhou was part of a surprise attack. Next, the Song army will take down Bazhou, which will be ten times more difficult than attacking Xiongzhou.
Wushu's inference naturally has its own reasons. Anci County to the north of Bazhou has truly elite Wushu divisions, not only heavy infantry and kidnapped horses, but Wushu's trump card, Iron Buddha Tu, is also in Anci County.
The chief general of Anci County is Wushu's confidant Han Chang.
Once the Song Army attacks Bazhou, Bazhou can unite with Anci County to launch a siege against the Song Army.
In the early morning of December 29th, when the light snow had just rested, wintersweet bloomed in full bloom in the backyard.
Zhao Ning stood under the eaves of the backyard, holding the note sent by Wu Lin in his hand. After reading it, he said to Lu Yihao: "Wu Lin wants to send troops from Liaoyang to Jinzhou, and then all the way to Yanjing. Tell him , let him continue to stay in Liaoyang, don't go anywhere, and hold Liaoyang tightly."
Lu Yihao said: "The Jin army in Liaoyang has been completely defeated. If Wu Lin wants to go south, maybe he can indeed make new achievements."
"The role of Liaoyang is not in Jinzhou, let alone fighting Yanjing, but in Shangjing."
At this time, Wang Huaiji came in small steps: "Your Majesty, Xiongzhou urgently reports."
"Oh, bring it."
Zhao Ning took Yue Fei's letter, and after reading it, he frowned: "Xiongzhou has been captured by our army."
Chapter 1432 The Furious Golden Wu Technique (Second Change)
Zhao Guanjia and Lu Yihao stood in the backyard, falling into silence one after another.
It is a good thing that Xiongzhou is taken down, but it does not mean that the Song army has completely taken the initiative when Xiongzhou is taken down.
After a long silence, Zhao Ning said, "If I order Uncle Zhang to go north to help Yue Fei, what do you think?"
"inappropriate."
"Why?"
"As the Guards Brigade goes north, Yue Fei will naturally become even more powerful. It is only a matter of time before he dominates the state, but His Majesty knows better than I do what Jin Wushu will do after learning about it."
Zhao Ning looked at Lu Yihao and said, "There is Han Shizhong in Cangzhou."
"But we don't know the total strength of Jinwushu. If the number of Jinwushu is very large, it is enough for Jinwushu to implement the strategy of virtual reality."
Zhao Ning also fell silent.
In fact, Zhao Ning knew the stakes.
What Lu Yihao said is enough for Jin Wushu to implement false and real strategies. In layman's terms, Jin Wushu has enough troops, no matter whether they are elite or not, as long as they have enough troops, they can deploy suspicious soldiers.
The so-called suspicious soldiers are to arrange the general signing army in the Xijin Mansion, to strengthen the camp, and to take the main defense, so that the Song army mistakenly thinks that the main force of the Jin army has been in the Xijin Mansion.
But in fact, Jin Wushu was able to fight against ten elites, such as kidnappers, iron Buddhas, and heavy infantry, and they had already moved south rapidly.
This part of the force may be far less numerous than the signing army, but it is the protagonist of the battlefield.
When the Song Army thought that the main force was in Xijin Mansion, the Jin Army had already arrived at Hejian Mansion.
This shows that the more people there are, the more room for manipulation to confuse.
Of course, Yue Fei can boldly go northward to attack the Jin army, which is dominated by signing troops, but the problem is that it is still unknown how many of Jin Wushu's kidnappers and iron Buddhas are.
If the number exceeds the forecast of the Military and Political Council, then Yue Fei will not be able to go south to help, and the Hejian Mansion will be in danger.
Lu Yihao would never let Zhao Ning make such a high-risk decision.
As for Zhao Ning himself, now that Song Dynasty has a strong foundation, there is no need to rush to force Jin Wushu to a decisive battle.
At this point, he also dispelled the idea just now.
Zhao Ning sighed, and said: "In this way, let's observe and observe again. If we go north at this time, it may be exactly what Jin Wushu wants."
On the morning of December 29, Han Chang in Anci County immediately became vigilant after receiving Jin Wushu's secret letter.
Han Chang convened the generals to discuss the matter. He said to everyone: "The Song army conquered Xiongzhou, and the next step must be Bazhou. The king will never allow it!"
Everyone heard that it was the main force of the Song army, and they began to express their opinions one after another.
For example, Meng An Wule said: "If the general remembers correctly, Bazhou has many artillery, the city is strong, and the army is strong. If the Song people want to attack Bazhou, it will be difficult to take it down within ten days and a half months. The general thinks , we can wait for the Song people to do it, and we can closely monitor the battle situation."
Another Meng An, Xiao Lishu, responded immediately: "The general agrees with Wule's intention. Bazhou is less than a hundred miles away from us. The scouts go back and forth for half a day. The battle situation can be checked at any time."
"Once there is an emergency, our army can send cavalry first. The cavalry marches quickly and arrives in half a day. I don't believe that the Song army can capture Bazhou in one day!"
Han Chang nodded repeatedly.
Han Chang also has a military mission. He is stationed in Anci County and is ready to obey orders at any time to detour south to Hejian Mansion.
His troop configuration is to fight against the original Yuefei Department in Hebei Province and the Imperial Guard Brigade of Zhao Guan's family.
And because of the process, it is impossible for Han Chang to go directly to Bazhou to garrison now.
"But I have a doubt in my heart, you can help me answer it." Han Chang said.
"What doubts do you have?"
Han Chang said: "A few days ago, we learned that the main force of the Song army sent troops from Zhending Mansion to attack Bazhou. Now that Bazhou has fallen, the Song army's attack on Bazhou is faster than we expected. Is it possible? , Can the Song Army take Xiongzhou in one day?"
"The Song army's attack on Bazhou was a surprise attack. Wanyan Zongxian's troops probably didn't even have time to put on armor, and the city gate was blasted open by the Song army." Xiao Lishu said, "But Bazhou is different. If the army takes Xiongzhou, it will inevitably strengthen its vigilance. It is unlikely that the Song army will repeat the old tricks. Even if the Song army invades the city, the defense of the city will definitely not be captured by the Song army in a day."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nodded.
In this era, siege warfare has indeed changed. The emergence of heavy artillery and artillery has made the defense of the city vulnerable.
But don't forget that artillery is difficult to deploy in street fighting in the city.
Once they entered the city, they still had to face off with large armies, fighting head-to-head.
"I'm quite satisfied with your answer." Han Chang said, "Since that's the case, it's settled. Pay close attention to the military situation in Bazhou, and report any changes at any time!"
Everyone stood up and said, "Yes!"
It's just that as soon as the words fell, there was an urgent report from the scouts outside.
"Report! Urgent report! Bazhou fall! Bazhou fall!"
The people in the room didn't react for a while, they just looked at each other.
"What's going on outside?" Xiao Lishu asked.
"It seems that Bazhou has fallen?" Wu Le was stunned for a moment and replied.
Bazhou fell!
Everyone was stunned.
"Come in!" Han Chang roared, and the scout rushed in with an urgent report in his hand.
Han Chang quickly snatched it over, looking at ten lines at a glance.
"It's impossible! Xiongzhou yesterday, Bazhou today!" Han Chang's face was livid, "Even if my elite troops are not in Bazhou, Bazhou's city is strong and its armaments are complete. This is absolutely impossible!"
But then, scouts kept sending back the same news, which made Han Chang's hair stand on end.
On December 17, 29th year of Jingkang, Xiongzhou and Bazhou were successively captured by Yue Fei with a thunderbolt, and a huge hole was torn in the military defense line to the south of Xijin Mansion.
When the news reached Jin Wushu, Jin Wushu flipped the table on the spot.
"This is definitely not from the hands of Wu Jie!" Jin Wushu cursed, "That person must have come back! Zhao Guan's family, oh! Dog Emperor! It is so insidious! He must have ordered Yue Fei back to Hebei, otherwise why did Yunzhong keep going? There is no big battle report coming!"
Jin Wushu's whole body was trembling.
"It must be Yue Fei! It's him! This king has already felt his aura! He is in Bazhou right now! Only he dares to divide his troops to fight such a battle! Only he can let Zhang Xian carry our elite army in Zhuozhou!"
No matter how furious Jin Wushu is, the situation has undergone major changes.
"Send troops immediately! Gather all the elites of this king, I want to bypass Bazhou and go to Hejian Mansion to capture the dog emperor!"
"Your Highness, calm down!"
"How can I appease this king!"
Han Qixian said: "The last thing you should do is to make major decisions when you are angry."
Chapter 1433 Discussing the National Thief's Golden Wushu (First Change)
With the situation on the main battlefield at this level, it is impossible to immediately determine who has the upper hand and who has fallen behind.
The Jin people still have an army in the east of the river, and Zhang Xian has been defending the battlefield of Zhuozhou.
On the frontal main battlefield, Yue Fei's troop deployment has been exposed. Although he took down Bazhou and Xiongzhou, he has not yet fought against the main force of Jin Wushu.
After all, the battle situation is changing rapidly.
Zhao Ning resisted the instinctive impulse of micro-manipulation, and sat firmly in the river.
In a blink of an eye, it was the last day of the 17th year of Jingkang, and there was no news of any changes in the Jin army from the front line, but Zhao Ning was keenly aware that the real war was not far away.
Naturally, Jin Wushu couldn't sit still.
But war is never just war.
The loss of Xiongzhou and Bazhou was two hundred miles away from Yanjing.
As for Yanjing City at this time, it is completely different.
It is said that on the day of New Year's Eve, the city of Yanjing was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there were reports everywhere that Wang Shi went south and captured Zhending Mansion and Zhongshan Mansion.
Even to celebrate this good news, the officials of Xijin Mansion even "suggested" that the common people hang a festive lantern at the door of their house, and cheer for Master Wang whenever they meet.
Of course, the officials and gentlemen of Xijin Mansion said that this is not forced, it is voluntary.
As for the few people who were arrested today, it was a coincidence that there were no lanterns hanging at the door of their house. They were the king of rumors who lost Bazhou and Xiongzhou.
Since there are frequent good news during this period, Yanjing cannot be the only one to celebrate.
These good news were also delivered to Shangjing, which caused a great sensation and repercussions in Shanghai.
Some people reprimanded the king of Wei for lying about the military situation, but some people have already begun to calculate and force the Song people to stop, asking the Song people how much money to pay and how much land to cut.
Most importantly, Song people had to be forced to donate 1 beauties.
No!One hundred thousand!
I want one hundred thousand!
On December [-]th, at noon, I went to the capital.
Wan Yanliang had just fallen asleep in the boundless spring when he was woken up by Tang Kuobian who hurried over.
"You better give me a reasonable explanation." Wan Yanliang looked at Tang Kuo Bian with a sneer.
"Song envoy asks to see you."
"Song Envoy?" Wan Yanliang immediately regained his energy. He pushed away the beautiful woman beside him, sat up and said, "Go, prepare a big pot, catch this Song Envoy, and cook it in public."
Upon hearing this, Tang Kuobian quickly said, "It's absolutely impossible."
"Why?" Wan Yanliang said, "Could it be that you are still worried that the Song people will become angry and attack Shangjing?"
Tang Kuobian was about to speak, but Wan Yanliang said to himself: "I just want them to attack Shangjing, but I want to see what they use to attack the city!"
What Wan Yanliang said was true.
Yang Zaixing's troops rushed from the grassland without any artillery at all. Due to the surprise march, they even brought the engineering battalion with them. It is undoubtedly too possible to build heavy artillery with local materials.
Therefore, it is really unrealistic to want to conquer a big city like Beijing, otherwise, with Yang Zaixing's temper, he would have already started bombarding the city.
"Song people will not attack the city in a short time, but His Majesty can't kill Song envoy."
"Do I have to kill him?"
"Killing will cause consequences we cannot afford."
"Joke! Those Song people burned down my granary, should I follow them?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you hear what the Song people are here for?"
"What are you doing?"
"The people of Song said that they hope to join His Majesty in hunting down the country's thieves."
