Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 932 Cereal God
After seeing the court's military deployment, Wang Xiaolie put it aside.

If he hadn't been engaged in the Taiyuan Battle, he would have definitely dragged himself into it this time.Wouldn't it be just right to advance eastward from Luoyang, attack Bianjing, and jointly attack Yingtian Mansion?He was not there, so he just escaped.

If he hadn't been worried about being implicated by court officials, Wang Xiaolie would have marched westward and captured Bianliang.Leaving Bianliang behind allowed Liu Yu to understand that he was just avoiding him and not attacking him, rather than being unable to defeat him.

Wang Xiaolie has a special status and strong independence.Liu Yu believed that as long as Zhao Gou was defeated, Wang Xiaolie would naturally surrender.Therefore, the last attack failed, so they never attacked Luoyang again and allowed it to develop.

At this time Wang Ruohai came in, put a stack of pennies on the desk, and said: "Xuanfu, the God of Grain has arrived in Taiyuan. Yelu Yujian has also arrived in Daizhou."

Wang Xiaolie flipped through the official documents and asked, "How are our troops prepared?"

Wang Ruohai said: "The layout has been completed. Now Wenyu Village, Nancun and Jialing Village have established a complete line of defense, and each division has a reserve army behind it. It can be said that it is as good as gold!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Tell the commanders of all divisions to be prepared to deal with the Jin Army's high-intensity attack for half a month and not to slack off."

Wang Ruohai said yes and withdrew from Wang Xiao's hunting office.

When the God of Ceres arrives in Taiyuan, war will begin soon.Jin Jun is not a fool. Wang Xiaolie easily defeated Wanyan Benjian and Wanyan Yinshuke and then stood still. Of course Jin Jun knew something was wrong.But what if you know there is something weird? The huge pressure of food and fodder from the more than 30 troops forced them to attack.

As long as Wang Xiao hunts for a month, the Jin army's food and grass will have problems.Of course, he doesn't need to defend for a month. Jiang Min should invade the Datong Basin in more than half a month.

In the Taiyuan government office, Gu Shen sat in the middle, looking at the generals in front of him with sharp eyes.Now the garrison of Taiyuan, including Wanyan Tuhesu, Wulin Dataiyu and Wanyan Yuying, plus his own army, has exceeded 20.A few years ago, a 10,000+ gold army would have been enough to dominate the world, but today it is restricted everywhere.

After a while, Gu Shen asked: "How many soldiers does Wang Xiaolie have on the opposite side? Do you have a definite number?"

Wanyan Yunying said: "As far as we know, Wang Xiaolie's army is organized into divisions, and each division has 5000 people. In the south, there are six divisions in Wenshui and Qixian, and it is said that there should be 15 people. . And in Fenzhou City, there are about 4 troops from Shaanxi. Taken together, there should be 20 troops."

Ceres nodded.He said: "It is said that there are also Song troops in Longde Mansion in the east?"

Wanyan Yuying said: "There are two divisions, about 5 people."

Gu Shen closed his eyes and said nothing.After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked: "I heard that there are still Song troops in the area of ​​Shizhou and Linfu Road in the west?"

Wanyan Yuying was stunned for a moment and said: "The soldiers and horses on Linfu Road are set up to guard against Xixia. I heard that there is also a division there with about 2 people."

Gu Shen shook his head: "The news I heard is that there are two divisions of the Song Army in the Linfu Road area, with a total of more than 5 people. Now all the states in the mountains have been occupied by the Song Army, and we have no foothold at all. Wouldn't it be terrible if, during the battle at the front, a division of the Song Army came down the Fen River?"

Wanyan Yuying crossed his hands and said, "We didn't have enough troops before, so we didn't go into the mountains to investigate."

In fact, the Song Army has completed the integration of the forces in the mountains, and the Jin Army does not have the ability to enter the mountains.There were fewer troops sent out, and they were all wiped out by the Song army.If too many troops are sent out, the Song army will not be found even if they starve to death. It is actually a dead end.Gu Shen said: "If the Song army attacks Taiyuan from Xianzhou, it will pose a great threat to me, and we must guard against it!"

Wanyan Yuying said: "In the mountains to the west of Taiyuan, there is a place called Gujiao Town, which is guarding the intersection of Fenhe River. Just build a stronghold there and send some troops."

Gu Shen thought for a while and said: "Let's do that for the time being. Our main task now is to face the Song army. As long as we defeat them, the overall situation of this battle will be determined. How is the Song army arranged in Wenshui and Qixian areas now? Is there any way? flaw?"

Wanyan Yuying said: "The Song army lined up three divisions along the valley in the mountains. The divisions are closely connected and there are no flaws."

The Valley God was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "The valley stretches for more than 100 miles. The Song army only uses three divisions, so there must be many gaps in the middle. Isn't it a God-given opportunity?"

Wanyan Yuying said: "King Haojiao learned that in the middle of the valley is the Fen River, which cannot be used as a battlefield. There is not much land on both sides of the Fen River that can be used as a battlefield. Three divisions are enough to seal the road. It is better for the king to come to this matter in person. Let’s talk about it after watching the scene.”

After hearing this, Gushen nodded and said nothing.

Of course, the three divisions cannot seal off all the land of more than 100 miles. In fact, the Song army only blocked some key points.It's just a gap left. It's useless for the Jin army to go over. They can only wait to be annihilated.Wang Xiaolie's arrangement was based on the county town's advance, and there were no flaws.

After a long time, Gu Shen said: "Tomorrow Wanyan Tu will leave Taigu County as soon as possible, and Wulin Datai will leave Jiaocheng County and occupy the two cities. I will make arrangements after I go to the front and see the Song army's layout. .”

Wanyan Tuhesu and Wulin Dataiyu crossed their hands together and said yes.

Gu Shen waved his hand and asked everyone to go out, leaving one person to think in the tent.

From the bottom of his heart, Gu Shen did not believe that the Song Army was now so strong that it would make the Jin Army fearful.But the results on the battlefield cannot but be believed.In the past few years alone, ten thousand-level generals such as Ba Lisu, Sa Lihe, Wanyan Benjian, Wanyan Yinshuke, etc. were defeated by Wang Xiaolie, and even their people were captured.These people, Gu Shen is well aware of their abilities, and any one of them is a powerful figure on the battlefields of Song and Jin Dynasties.In Wang Xiaolie's hands, there was no trouble.

The army in front of them was something the Jin Army had never encountered before.Not only does it appear mysterious, but it is also extremely powerful.

After listening to what Yan Yuying said, the Song army was particularly good at using artillery.Although the Jin Army also had artillery, on the frontline battlefield, the Jin Army's artillery was completely useless.They could neither advance with the front army nor retreat with the army, which made them a burden.

How did the Song army use artillery?How is it different from Jin Jun's usage?Ceres thought about this question carefully.It is a pity that although the Song army on the opposite side had 20 people, few surrendered.I finally voted for a few for various reasons, but I couldn't figure out the problem.

After standing up, Gu Shen paced back and forth in the official hall, thinking about the problem.

Artillery is very powerful, and Gu Shen is convinced of this.Why didn't Wang Xiaolie defend the city?Because with artillery, defending the city is not worth the gain.The Jin army was not familiar with artillery. Once the opponent's city had a powerful cannon, they would not know what to do.However, the Song army knew that it could fight at night and use suspicious soldiers to confuse the opponent. There were many methods.

Without understanding how the Song army used artillery on the battlefield and how the artillery cooperated with the infantry, Gu Shen did not dare to attack the Song army on a large scale.

(I feel very uncomfortable due to Yang. Sorry for the impact on updates!)
