Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1212

Jing Bo was also very excited. He didn't mind Yue Yun's meritorious deeds, but was thinking about how to win. At this moment, he no longer gave orders. With the fall of the banner of the Jin Army's commander, Pang Rong, Cheng Jiao and others led their troops. Forging ahead, the Jin army lost its unified command and fell into the embarrassing situation of fighting on its own. Only some soldiers and horses left the battlefield, and the others were trapped, as if trapped and fighting.

When the retreating Jin army gathered in the distance one after another, watching the situation on the battlefield, and wanted to wait for an opportunity to counterattack and rescue Pao Ze, Jing Bo and Yue Yun met again.

"Taiwei, kill for a while?" Yue Yun was murderous, and his eyes turned to the remnants of the Jin army in the distance.The commander died in battle, and all the ministries were disorganized. This is a very serious matter. The remnants of the Jin army have lost their combat effectiveness. If they are wise, they should run away quickly. They are stupid and want to counterattack.

"Gather troops and horses first, and prepare for battle." Jing Bo also wanted to expand the results of the battle, but his troops were in disarray, and it was difficult to encircle the horse army. Not to mention the smoke and dust rising from the northwest direction, it was obvious that a large army was moving rapidly Come on, if you don't gather your soldiers and horses together to form a team, you may lose the results of the battle.

"Oh, Taiwei should be careful with his troops!" Yue Yun turned his head to look at the northwest, licked his chapped lips, and smiled.

"It's not that Ying Xiang doesn't know, it's that he killed too quickly." Jing Bo's face was serious, but he didn't forget to joke.

The news of the great victory in Huaizhou soon spread to Xingzai, which made Wang Xiu even more joyful. It turned out that Jing Bo and Yue Yun defeated more than [-] elite cavalry of the Jin Army, and Kong Yanzhou's reinforcements also arrived, and fierce battle broke out between the two armies again.

Jing Bo's military talent was reflected. He did not attack in one go. Instead, he gathered the cavalry, chariots, and infantry into a temporary standard match to form a tactical group with a chariot as the center and horses on both wings. The army array gradually gathers and retreats to the edge of the battlefield, which is equivalent to withdrawing from the battle and waiting for an opportunity.

In this way, he got rid of the burden of the infantry and turned passive into active. He personally commanded the mobile corps to fight, and Cheng Jiao was responsible for the infantry's pressure, that is, to use the chariot and horse troops to cooperate to strangle the infantry.

Kong Yanzhou had tasted the combined combat power of the Song Army's chariots and cavalry. The [-] infantry were beaten into a panic under the Song Army's charge, and they were completely powerless to fight back. Immediately dodge people.

This time, Jing Bo didn't stop, and immediately attacked Li Qiong outside Hanoi County in two directions. The speed was particularly fast. Li Qiong couldn't hold on any longer.

However, Li Qiong was considered a general, not comparable to Kong Yanzhou and others. This guy resolutely abandoned some soldiers and horses, and retreated step by step with strong crossbows on both wings, forcing Jing Bo to consider casualties and did not pursue.

Just when the news reached Xingzai, He Mo arrived in Hanoi County in person, and Xuan Yi's army also marched from Mengzhou to Huaizhou, accompanied by six thousand township troops escorting food and grass.

Jingbo dispatched Yue Yun with [-] cavalry, crossed Taihang Road and went up Danshui, plundered Tianshui Pass, beheaded [-] defenders, and burned the pass city, but did not stop to occupy it, and immediately turned back. Kong Yanzhou was so scared that he gave up Xingzhao Town.

Almost at the same time, the Zhenwu Army of the Northern Guards, with the support of two thousand cavalry, raided Liaocheng, the prefecture of Bozhou. The population and property moved to the south, and the famous Jin army reacted, only to recover the empty city abandoned by the Song army.

The Jin army did not pay attention to the Song army's raid on Bozhou. Instead, they believed that the opponent's focus was on Hedong, and gradually occupied the main roads before sending troops, otherwise they would not migrate the population, which made them pay a heavy price.

However, there are more and more signs that the Song Army's partial divisions are frequently attacking, and the Northern Expedition may not be far away!

At this moment, the war game hosted by the Privy Council ended, Gao Ping's wishful thinking succeeded, and the Dianqian Division set up a separate battalion to go north, responsible for attacking Hedong.

In fact, apart from the result of mutual compromise, the reason why the battalion was able to be formed was that the departments of the Dianqian Division had already gone north, forming an army of tens of thousands in the west of Beijing. This was also Gao Ping's cunning side. It's not like people have finished singing their tricks.

The composition of this army is also very unique, with the entire army of the Gongsheng Army as the backbone, and the other five armies dispatched a brigade and town, plus the attached logistics transfer troops, the strength reached [-] officials, which can be called a luxurious lineup. , can't run away from others.

It is very surprising that Feng Yuan actually became the deputy capital commander of the camp, which is a big surprise. The court did not plan to gather two chariot troops. There are gossip that Wang Xianggong is also noncommittal, and even supports Feng Yuan as the deputy capital. control.

Here comes the problem. The camp of the Imperial Army of the Great Song Dynasty is just a shelf, and the senior military commanders are appointed as commanders and part-timers before the battle, that is, they are dispatched by the Privy Council to join the army. There is no deputy commander position, which means it is specially set up for Fengyuan.

Although the appointment of Feng Yuan made many people regret that the chariot soldiers of the Song Dynasty could not participate in the war independently, thinking that they had missed an era.However, some people still found clues, and the special deputy capital control can also be said to be a step. The east camp is just a partial division, and the real main force is still in the north. The chariot soldiers are under the control, and Feng Yuan has not been stopped by the chariot soldiers, leaving people with hope.

In other words, under the active attack of He Mo and Jing Bo along the river, the prelude to the military action of the Northern Expedition was kicked off, but the grasslands in the northwest were also turbulent.

Duan Shoujue was quite lucky. He was transferred from the official department, and he had been practicing in the local area. He had accumulated enough qualifications and was selected by Wang Xiu the year before last, and entered the Ministry of Rites as a doctor.

Now, he stepped into the grassland for the third time, to go as an envoy to Hutura Khan of the Qiyan tribe.

The reason is very simple. The Jurchens strengthened their control over the grasslands and continued to conquer the various ministries. The biggest one was Wushu's personal control. They used the Jin Army's five special mothers to conquer them. .

However, when the Kelie people and the Qiyan people were forced to the end of the mountain, the Tatar, Mierqi and other tribes suddenly changed from actively cooperating with the conquest to secretly reporting and releasing water on the battlefield. Defeated, lost the best opportunity to attack the Qiyan and Kelie people.

In order to reduce the pressure and keep the last foundation, Khutura Khan took the opportunity to sing the first compromise, and the Tatars also actively mediated. The 27 villages in the north of the river were given over to the various ministries of the grassland, and a certain amount of ironware was allocated to each of the grassland ministries every year.

It can also be regarded as temporarily stabilizing the western border, moving power to the southern line, and blackmailing the Song dynasty.
