Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 1163: Follow the Jin army and have meat to eat

King Langya!
As the Queen Mother, Wang Zhenying would not fail to understand the meaning and status of the title of King Langya. In the past, this title was given to the emperor's closest brother!

Or the emperor's favorite son!
Just like Sima Daozi!Only a close clan member like him could possibly obtain such an honorable title.

Others, not to mention Wang Mi, who is incomparable in terms of blood relationship, even the clan members surnamed Sima, as long as their blood relationship is far away, it is impossible to get such a title!
Therefore, as soon as the title of King Langya was announced, everyone in the government and the clan knew what Wang Mi was going to do in the future.

And the Queen Mother Wang Zhenying?

Don't count on it. It's impossible. She can't stop Wang Mi's advance. It can even be said that the Queen Mother not only has no objection to Wang Mi becoming the regent, but will even go further in the future.

Even if the Queen Mother had the heart to stop Wang Mi from succeeding, to be honest, she really didn't have the ability.

As the empress dowager in the deep palace, does Wang Zhenying have the power to command every soldier?

She doesn't!
If other conditions are put aside, the only forces Wang Zhenying can really mobilize are the few troops around Jiankang.

With just such a small number of people, can they still compete with the powerful Beifu soldiers?

Can?

is it possible?

On the contrary, since Wang Zhenying chose to cooperate with Wang Mi and actively supported him, fulfilling many of his wishes, including leading the Northern Expedition, Wang Zhenying's strength has increased a lot.

Originally, it was impossible for her to mobilize Beifu, who was even very likely to be her enemy. Now, as long as she needs it, Wang Mi will step forward and lend Beifu soldiers to her.

In this way, there was such cooperation, which enriched the strength of the harem. With the dignity of the Queen Mother or personal friendship, Wang Zhenying could easily command the soldiers of the Beifu, including pacifying those disobedient clans.

The clan members of the Jin Dynasty finally realized that Wang Zhenying did this for her own benefit.

It has nothing to do with the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with the Sima family.

How could they endure such a thing?

Therefore, Sima Xiuzhi and others, who were eager to cause trouble, could not legitimately send troops in the name of rescuing Wang Gong, so they had to find another way.

In fact, it doesn't matter if there is no name. After the Jin Dynasty established Jiangzuo, unreasonable rebellions did not happen.

This is such a magical land, and the Jin people here are such a group of people who do whatever they want.

We can do whatever we want to do, no matter what situation you are in now or what kind of crisis you are facing. As for the Sima clan now, it is no different from the original one.

Since you, Wang Zhenying, want to abandon the Sima clan, don't blame us for being rude!

On the other side, in Yangzhou, another hinterland guarding Jiankang, new conspiracies are constantly brewing.

what?
Is the Northern Expedition army in danger?

Is Sima going to attack the Beifu soldiers from behind?

no no!

Don't worry, it's not possible.

The people of the Sima family have always been good at external fighting and internal fighting at home. How could they possibly point their troops at the powerful Beifu Army?
Even if you lend them some courage, they won't dare.

Although they dare not provoke the Beifu Army, they can hold back the Beifu Army. They are still very good at this.

In addition, they are very clear about the inner emptiness in Jiankang City now.

So, if we want to cause trouble, how can we let this treasure land go?
It is said that the rear is empty and the rear is empty. However, the biggest concern for any large army going out on an expedition is often not the strength of the enemy army, but a fire in the back garden. This is what they are talking about.

Since it was the Northern Expedition, for example, a dynasty like the Jin Dynasty, even if they had strong firepower support, it must be noted that they still only occupied half of the country.

Firepower weapons can be replenished in a short time, but what about the sources of troops?

It’s really not something you can solve in a short time if you think of a solution and have a smart mind.

For a baby, even if things are better now, if you want it to grow into a young man who can carry a gun and fight, it will take at least 15 years!
15 years!
Going back 15 years, even Wang Mi was just a little baby bobbing his head. This shows that expanding the population and increasing the number of soldiers can definitely not be achieved by just talking.

You must not pinch the seedling to encourage it to grow, because even if you pinch it, the seedling will not listen to you and it will not grow even if it should not.

Therefore, generally speaking, if such a small court wants to conduct a large-scale conquest campaign, it will always be somewhat stretched in terms of military strength.

It's the same for someone as powerful as Beifu.

Even with the help of Jingzhou soldiers, Wang Mi still had to mobilize most of the troops in the territory and put them into the queue for the Northern Expedition.

In this way, although he also knew that the guard of Jiankang City was still very important and could not be slacked off, he also prepared some Beifu soldiers to stay in the capital city to guard it.

However, relatively speaking, the troops are still limited and the strength is still weak.

Although the Sima family's army is relatively poor in terms of personnel quality and weapons and equipment, as long as they gather together and use all their strength, they can still cause a big impact on Jiankang City.

When the time comes, the capital will be in chaos. Can you, Wang Mi, still stay in the north?
You must come back.

If you don’t return the aid, your old nest will be taken away. What’s the use of all your hard work on the Northern Expedition?
Sima Xiuzhi and the others had this idea.

If I can't beat you, why can't I make you feel sick?
On the other side, the general of Beifu, Langya King Wang Zhiyuan, who was still unaware of the undercurrents in Jiankang City, was still on the way to the Northern Expedition.

The so-called conquest is actually just that. After taking Qinzhou City, the business of expanding Yao Qiang's territory seems to have become no longer difficult, at least it is much smoother than Wang Mi imagined at the beginning.

In fact, many battles in history are like this.

If Di Qin is still occupying the north and the arrogant Fu Jian is still there, then no one, whether Wang Mi himself or the generals under him, dares to take it lightly.

After all, that is half of the authentic country. Moreover, Qin soldiers are known for their martial arts. For many years, Qin soldiers have been fighting everywhere, conquering east and west, and their military exploits are also there.

The strength is indeed very strong.

But now, everything is no longer the same.

Di Qin's power in the north collapsed overnight and quickly split into several scattered small courts. As a whole, the strength of the north must have dropped significantly and it cannot be twisted into a rope. That's it.

As a result, the collapse was like a series of dominoes, being toppled one after another.

The so-called failure is like this.

What was the situation in Qinzhou City at that time?
It is not an exaggeration to say that the soldiers and horses are strong. Although in the past, the importance of this border town was still average, but after all the masters Yao Chang and Yao Xing arrived, the military strength and combat effectiveness have all increased significantly.

In addition, the strength of two generals who are good at conquering and fighting must not be underestimated.

The results of it?
It was such a well-defended city with tens of thousands of troops, but the Jin army took it so easily!

How can this be so?

How could this be so!
What about the Jin army?
Not only did they win a beautiful victory, but the casualties on their side were very few, especially the main force of the Beifu soldiers, who basically suffered no losses.

Not to mention the Jingzhou soldiers, who were not the first to lead the battle. In addition, they were always good at moving left and right on the battlefield, fighting and saving their lives at the same time.So, needless to say, the main body of the army was retained. In addition, the wave of Qin soldiers led by Zhu Xu, it can be said that the strength of the Jin's Northern Expedition army has not decreased but increased.

People are all snobbish.

Although the majority of the Qin soldiers who followed Zhu Xu to the Qinzhou City were Han Chinese, on the whole, Zhu Xu must have exaggerated.

Many of the cavalry were Di people.

These people originally followed Zhu Xu's orders because of Fulong's face. When they arrived at Qinzhou City, these Di Qin cavalry gradually felt that things were developing in the direction they were worried about.

Although Di Qin is now united with Da Jin in name, what about in reality?
Where is the union here?

This is obviously to dispatch Qin soldiers to fight with the Jin army. The initiative is completely in the hands of the Jin army, and they are just some people who have been deceived.

pitiful!

But the war had already begun. Although the Qin soldiers were dissatisfied, they could only fight hard because it was obvious that the Qiang soldiers in the city also hated the Qin soldiers.

When the two sides encountered each other, the Qiang soldiers would not spare the Qin soldiers just because they were deceived into coming to Qinzhou City. Therefore, if the Qin soldiers wanted to save their lives, they would first have to fight the Qiang soldiers desperately.

This is true.

However, as the fight continued, Qin Bing's attitude also changed.

I have to say that these Jin troops are indeed powerful, and why do they have such magical weapons in their hands?

This powerful power is simply devastating!

So powerful!

Even the Di people who have always been good at bows and horses, and who claim that wherever the riding whip points, there is territory, under the light of the firearms, they can only look up.

So, Di Ren instantly changed his mind. Such a powerful army was tolerant of foreign races. Why didn't they follow?

How could they not follow?
Moreover, with their military strength now, it is not that easy to return to Qin, and there is not even a suitable way.

What should I do?
The best solution now is to follow the Jin army. If you follow the Jin army, you can win the battle and save your life. What else is there to ask for?

In troubled times, if you can save your life, it is of course the best choice.

Furthermore, Di people have a rough temperament and do not have such a strong sense of faith. Who should they follow to fight instead of fighting?
The most important thing is that the Jin people are different from the Qiang people. The Di people and the Qiang people currently have a deep hatred. Even if the Di people are willing to follow the Qiang people, the Qiang people will not accept it.

And what about the Jin people?

Although they have the blessing of firearms, in this era where cold weapons such as bow and horse combat account for the majority, bow and horse technology and cavalry combat are still a very important form that cannot be eliminated.

It was precisely after seeing this that the Di people knew that the Jin people still needed the help of their Di and Qin cavalry.

As for the Di people, they were not that repulsive to the Jin people, so cooperation was a matter of course.

In addition, not only the Qiang people, but also the Northern Expedition army will be able to advance to the location of the Xianbei tribe in a while.

So, going to war with the Jin army was a very honorable thing for the Di people who had been betrayed by several major tribes.

It's roughly equivalent to a fox pretending to be a tiger's power!

Therefore, you can see that after these people decided to fight with the Jin army, sometimes the Di people performed more actively than the Jin people.

Especially when they can brutally torture the Qiang people, they jump very high.

Fight bravely and charge forward.

Of course Wang Mi would not refuse their efforts.

However, if you want all the Qiang soldiers to drop their military flags and surrender quickly, it is naturally not enough to just rely on strong soldiers and strong horses to charge blindly.

It is also necessary to use a variety of methods flexibly.

For example, sometimes we use firearms to intimidate.

The territories occupied by Yao Qiang were far away from the Jin army in comparison. Thinking about how the Jin army successively captured Xiangyang, Nanyang and many other important towns, they could not see it.

There is no fate!
What a pity!

In order to make up for their regret, King Langya thoughtfully led a large group of people to perform for them.

The real lethality of firearms is secondary, and the intimidation power is a magic weapon for their dominance in this era.

People who have seen firearms and people who have never seen firearms are basically two different people.

This is the power of firearms.

People who lived in the late Jin Dynasty had never even seen gunpowder, and they had never heard of fireworks that flew into the sky and exploded.

From this, we can know that people in this era basically have no knowledge of weapons made with fire.

There is no concept at all.

And firearms are such a weapon. Every time they are used, various wonders will inevitably occur. The sound is not ordinary, it is like thunder.

One thunderclap is scary enough, let alone a series of thunderclaps?
One ring after another?

Still have surround sound in your ears?

That effect is simply not ordinary scary, it can scare people to death!
What's more, are firearms only scary because of their sound?

It also has the terrifying sparks, the black smoke that keeps coming out, and the projectiles that hit it with one hit, which are enough to make the enemy soldiers lose the courage to charge.

This is the power of firearms.

Therefore, in the hearts of the powerful Qiang soldiers who had never seen firearms, the roar of artillery in the city was like a reminder from hell.

How dare they make a mistake?

Under the premise that Qinzhou City has been conquered and Yao Xing died in battle, as long as a row of red cannons are pulled out and a burst of cannons are fired, a white flag will land on the city.

Let King Langya absolutely save worry and effort.

Of course, there are also stubborn people who want to rely on artillery to intimidate the defenders into leaving the city and surrendering, which is absolutely impossible.

They were tenacious and seemed unafraid of the threat of artillery.

What should I do?
Faced with this situation, does King Langya have any better solution?Or should we just draw up our posture and fight again?
