Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 937: Attack one wing

The Dutong Yamen of Taiyuan was the Yamen of the Administrative and Prosperous Bureau in the Song Dynasty. After the Jin Dynasty occupied it, it was the Dutong Yamen of Wan Yan Yin Shu, and now it is the commander-in-chief of Gu Shen.

In the official hall, Gushen and Yeluyu saw the host and guest sitting side by side, with the generals below.

After inviting us for tea, Gu Shen said: "The governor has come a long way, it's been a hard journey."

Yeluyu saw it and said: "More than 20 troops have passed through Shuodaizhou in the past month or two. It is really difficult to support military supplies. There is not much food and grass in Taiyuan. We must have military food before we can stay."

Gu Shen said: "You don't have to worry about this. Wanyan Haili has escorted grain and grass from Youzhou and has arrived in Shouyang. In five or six days, he should arrive in Taiyuan."

Yelu Yujian sighed and said: "I feel that the Prime Minister is a little anxious this time to fight the decisive battle with the Song Army. All parties are not well prepared, and the Song Army is not weak. We suddenly arrived in Taiyuan, and we were a little at a loss. I heard that the previous few On that day, the supervisory army fought a battle with the Song army, but the result was not satisfactory."

Gu Shen said: "It is indeed unsatisfactory. But I already know everything about how the Song army fought, and the loss of men is not in vain."

Yeluyu saw it and said: "Since the supervisor army has an idea, I don't know what method to use to fight the Song army?"

Gu Shen said: "The Song army has artillery and grenades, but it is really difficult to break through its military formation with ordinary methods. When our army attacks, we choose a place with a narrow front of the military formation and invest more troops at one time to try to break down its military formation. Break through. Once you break through the military formation and attack from behind, it will be much easier."

Yelu Yujian nodded.He said: "Let me rest for a few days, and then I will see the supervisory army take effect!"

The original intention of Gushen was to let Yelu Yujian's army attack at that time.Unexpectedly, Yelu Yujian actually flinched, and it was hard to force him for a while.

Yelu Yujian stayed for a few days before Wanyan Haili arrived.He brought a large amount of grain and grass from Youzhou, which made Gushen feel more at ease.

On the 11th day, Gu Shen thought that Yelu Yujian's army had finished resting and decided to launch an attack on the Song army.The breakthrough point is still chosen at Shi Rong's position.Gu Shen believed that Shi Rong had only one division and a large defensive area, which was the weak link of the Song army.

Shi Rong stood on a high ground, holding a telescope and keeping an eye on Jin Jun's situation.There is a rectangular table next to it, with several chairs placed in front of it. There is tea, maps and other military equipment on the table.

Xu Changxing lay on the table, looking at the map carefully, and from time to time he picked up a telescope to observe the Jin army's arrangement.Yuan Gai, the commander-in-chief, sat at the table, carefully reading the battle plans submitted by each regiment before the war, and assessing the status of the officers of each regiment.At the end of the table, Secretary Zheng Tianguang checked various orders and wrote them down in a note beside him.

After watching for a while, Shi Rong sat down at the table, put down the telescope, and poured a cup of tea from the teapot.Said: "Looking at the appearance of the Jin Army, the front of the attack is not large, but there are many troops behind. They mainly attack in the direction of Pan Yazhong of the fourth regiment. There are no Jin Army in front of the positions of other regiments. I think the purpose of the Jin Army is , I want to break through in one direction and break up our military formation."

Yuan Gai said: "If it doesn't work, just arrange two more regiments in the direction of Pan Yazhong and let the Jin army come and charge!"

Shi Rong shook his head: "You can let Ge Ding's engineering regiment go up and strengthen Pan Zhong's thickness. When the Jin army is fully committed, if you really don't attack other armies, you can draw troops from other places to supplement Pan Yazhong."

Yuan Gai said: "In short, the Jin army cannot break through our military formation, otherwise we will be in trouble!"

Shi Rong nodded.Xu Changxing on the side said: "The Jin Army really does not attack in other directions, and our army cannot be idle. When most of the Jin Army goes into battle, choose the regiments farther away and attack the Jin Army with all its strength! He If you want to break through our military formation, our army will break through the Jin Army’s military formation!”

Shi Rong clapped his hands: "That's what Staff Officer Xu said. He'll attack his, I'll attack mine, let's see whose attack is more advantageous!"

After saying that, he picked up the telescope and went to the position to observe carefully, looking for a breakthrough.

In front of the Jin army's formation, Gu Shen said to Yeluyu: "The Song army's tactics first relied on artillery attacks, and then relied on grenades to blow up people. After these two lines, it was nothing more than stabbing each other with swords and guns. I, Da Jin, are afraid of fighting in close combat. Who is coming? Please look at the governor, our army has passed the two lines of defense of the Song army, and we are already facing each other with swords and guns!"

Yelu Yujian nodded.He said: "What the supervisor said is right. However, looking at the behavior of the Song army, we will not have the upper hand even if they are fighting hand to hand."

Gu Shen said: "The Song army on the front line are all elites, and their combat power is really powerful. We have no choice but to rely on our large number of soldiers to defeat them!"

Yelu Yujian looked at the front line and said, "At this time, if the Song army suddenly attacks from other places, how will we respond?"

Gu Shen was stunned for a moment and said: "The Song Army's tactics are beneficial to defense. How could they give up their own strengths? If the Song Army attacks, wouldn't it suit my wishes?"

Yeluyu saw it and said: "The supervisor army only attacked the Song army a little, they should attack out."

This is common sense. If the Jin army attacks the Song army, the defense in other directions must be weak.The Song army finds its weakness and attacks the Jin army, which is the law of the battlefield.If the Song army is just passively beaten, the commander will have a problem.

Of course Gu Shen believed that the Song army could only defend and had no means to attack, so it was not a big threat.After listening to Yelu Yujian's words, I couldn't help but beat my heart.If the Song army had special means to attack, wouldn't I be seeking death by arranging it this way?
Shi Rong summoned Zuo Yuhou Tongde in front of him, pointed at the Jin army's formation and said: "The Jin army's layout focuses on our right wing. A large number of troops have been deployed, hoping to break through Pan Yazhong's position of the fourth regiment in one fell swoop, and attack from both front and back. I have been observing here for a long time. The left wing of the Jin Army is indeed weak and there are not many troops. You organize the first and second regiments to attack and directly attack the left wing of the Jin Army. The artillery regiment and cavalry regiment are under your command, use them well."

Tong De crossed his hands and said yes.

After a while, Tong De asked: "With two infantry regiments going out at once, is the defense line a little weaker?"

Shi Rong said: "The Jin army's attack is only concentrated on one point, and the two infantry regiments are useless. Remember, the attack must be fierce and fast, so that the Jin army cannot react. Don't invest the cavalry at the beginning, let them If you have an opportunity later, you must make the final decision! The right wing is Fenhe River, and the Jin army has not deployed many troops, so it is a perfect opportunity. As long as one wing of the Jin army is destroyed, this battle will be basically over!"

Tong De thought for a while, nodded and said: "The general will definitely live up to his mission!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly.

Shi Rong took the telescope and looked at it for a while, then turned back to the table.Said: "I attack the left flank of the Jin army with two infantry regiments, artillery regiments, and cavalry regiments. How long do you think the Jin army can last?"

Xu Changxing said: "The Jin army is good at fighting hard and is not comparable to other armies. I estimate that they can't hold out for an hour."
