The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

I am really afraid of what will happen! Two days later, the Intelligence Department confirmed the authenticity of Mimeng Khan's promotion of accounts and troops in Guyuan.

The Mimeng people indeed regard the Yungu Army as their main target. Although it is still uncertain how many Binma will participate, it is foreseeable that the scale will be unprecedented. Judging from the status of the Great Khan's personal conquest, there will be at least more than [-] soldiers and horses, among which the core troops of the Mimeng people will not be less than [-].

Song Yingkui did not expect that the decisive battle involving life and death would come so quickly. He thought that after defeating Beixiang, the Mi Meng people's main target would be Dazheng!

The reason for the strategic misjudgment is that, to put it bluntly, the strategic vision and structure of the big leader are not yet mature.

Dazheng is of course the main strategic target for the Mi Meng people in the next step, but Dazheng is a super-state. No matter how arrogant the Mi Meng people are, they will not start a war lightly. They have to make a decision before deciding.

Before attacking Zheng, it is in the interests of the Mi Meng people to eat the fat meat available in the surrounding area first, which will not affect the main strategy and reduce the risk of attacking Zheng.

He was already a war machine, so he didn't have much trouble preparing for war. Mi Meng Khan was in Yinzhou, not far from Yungu's army. It's just a matter of convenience to mobilize some soldiers and horses to kill the flea in the Yungu Army first.

Another point is that the Battle of Jingzhou was a rare disastrous defeat for the Mi Meng people on the battlefield in recent years. Mimeng Khan, who was used to seeing victories, suddenly heard about a tragic defeat, and it was difficult not to pay attention.

How dare a small warlord in a small area dare to defy the Mongolian soldiers and even win? Why don't you slaughter it and keep it for the New Year?
  Moreover, this little warlord is still from Zheng. If he is immortal, wouldn't it encourage the Zheng people to resist the Mongol soldiers in the future? Is it tolerable or intolerable?
  I heard that Yungu, a small place, was extremely wealthy. Regardless of how small the place was, their wealth might be greater than that of Yinzhou City in Beixiang. There are also a large number of craftsmen who are good at making firearms in its territory. It is simply the best place to hone troops before destroying Zheng!
  ……

Song Yingkui had no time to think about why the Mi Meng people's decision-makers were thinking of a decisive battle. Now, the most important thing is to come up with countermeasures.

Shortage of soldiers! This should be the core contradiction. The fighting power of the Mi Meng people is just that, no matter how overestimated it is, it won't be that high.

But they are better because they have more people. With more people, the battlefield will be larger, and with basically all the cavalry, the range of movement will be even greater! The few people deployed on the front line alone will definitely not be able to prevent the main force of Mi Meng from entering.

Where can we find so many soldiers to stop the Mimeng from going south? The soldiers and horses currently deployed on the front line are all the mobile forces that the Yungu Army can come up with!
  There must be at least [-] troops on the front line to calmly deal with the upcoming war! The troop gap exceeds [-]. This is simply an unsolvable situation.

The situation is pressing, and if there is no solution, you have to find a solution. If you don't come up with a solution, everything will be lost!

The only way is to ignore other areas and use all your strength to finish this battle first.

"An urgent military order was sent. Except for the Huangshui garrison, all the troops and horses in the territory, including the garrison brigade and above, rushed to Huizhou to assemble. The Military Command Office carried out an emergency reorganization of the assembled troops and horses in Huizhou, and reorganized a Yungu Army Corps consisting of three regiments. The three brigades and an independent regiment were assembled and basically reorganized within fifteen days.

After reorganization, the third brigade of the Yungu Army went to Jingzhou, and the independent regiment went to Hongshuiguan and was organized into the second brigade to prepare for the decisive battle. Send orders to the whole territory, with counties as units, relying on garrison brigades, mobilizing people to form civil defense regiments, training troops to defend against enemies, and undertaking military transportation and support for war.

An order was sent to the Sunan vassal to organize more than [-] cavalry to rush to Jingzhou within [-] days and wait for dispatch.

Send a message to the Guining Army to fulfill their allied obligations, organize more than [-] troops, and deploy them to the front line of Gulang Gorge within [-] days to support our army's battle!
  After the order was sent, Guo Kaifeng rushed to Taoyang urgently, formed a water transport team, and transported all the military reserves of Taoyang, Hezhou, Wazhou, and the fifth battalion to the Jingyuanbao pier by water transport to cope with the war situation! All government-owned factories, with the exception of the ordnance production department, were suspended, and all workers were transferred to logistics support personnel to participate in logistics and transportation work.

At the same time, the Office of Government Property relies on workers to organize a militia brigade to support the front line in times of crisis!

Liang Huonv was ordered to form an independent combat corps of the Yungu Army based on the surrender of the existing Xiang Army. He was appointed as the commander-in-chief and rushed to Jingzhou to participate in the war! "

Faced with an unprecedented situation, we can only choose Stud and mobilize all the forces we can mobilize! After a rough calculation, given enough time, the main force can gather [-] soldiers, and there can also be a militia reserve of [-] to [-]. Coupled with the independent soldiers formed by Xiang Jun's troops, they can gather almost [-] troops.

As long as time permits, the troops seem to be sufficient! No matter how powerful the Mi Meng people are, it is impossible to assemble more than [-] troops in a short period of time.

Forty thousand versus one hundred thousand, this is a big battle. As for the improvised troops and horses, they were disorganized, their combat effectiveness was worrisome, and they were uneven. Could the military composition of the Mi Meng people be better than this? The core combat strength they put into the battlefield is about [-], which is enough to support the sky.

The key to this battle still depends on the showdown between the main force. The Mimeng's servant army, the Yungu Army's militia and the surrender corps all help and control the battlefield.

The sudden change in the situation forced people to interrupt the original plan. The approximately [-] Xiang army surrendered, and it seemed that they could not be disbanded. Let's make do with it first, and then consider the next arrangements after the war is over.

In addition to military strength, logistics also requires spending money. At this level of mobilization, all reserves will be exhausted in two or three months! In the days to come, it will be a question of what to do with it. Anyway, the food rations for the [-] Beixiang refugees will definitely not be able to support next year's autumn harvest.

What to do after the war? Let’s talk about it after the war. As long as the battle can be won, there will always be a way. The Mimeng people can support war with war, but our Yungu army can't do it. We are all forced to do this, what method can't we use? You don’t want me to have a good life, and I won’t let you have a good life either.

I heard that after the Mimeng people destroyed Xiang, most of the wealth and food they looted were not transported to the grassland!

The matter is now over and the mobilization order has been issued. Even if the Mimeng people suddenly change their mind and will not fight this battle, the Yungu Army will have no way out. If they don't fight, we will all have to fight!
  Yinzhou City and the Mimeng people can be occupied, as can the Yungu Army. This battle is not only a matter of defense, but also a long-distance counterattack.

The Qiantao Plain where Yinzhou is located has millions of acres of irrigated farmland, and has sufficient conditions to develop into a granary. The Yellow River flows directly from Wazhou to Yinzhou. It is convenient for water transportation. I have the right location, people and people in Yinzhou!
