Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 68 The East Wind is Tight, War Drums and Hammers!
The heavy cavalry is undoubtedly excellent. The Song Dynasty has been defeated repeatedly. In addition to the blind command of the generals, there is also a tactical backwardness.

The enemy's light cavalry shot arrows, and the pursuit was to be kited, and then the heavy cavalry charged, causing countless casualties.If you don't pursue, you will be beaten passively.

It is not that there is no horse army in the Song Dynasty, but most of them are light cavalry, and it is not impossible to harass cavalry and archery. Qingtang has been in it for nearly 20 years, and the horse army has become a large-scale and organizational system.

But without the tactical impact of heavy cavalry, no matter how much harassment there is, there is also a lack of a final decision.

Fighting in the wild always suffers.

Although in Xixia, the Great Song Dynasty used the mountain city to build a camp step by step, and the bunkers strengthened the crossbow and bow, and squeezed and eroded the living space of Xixia step by step, but it could not completely eliminate the separatist forces of Xixia, a party member rebellion.

Without the advantage of the terrain, the mountain city's every step of the way has no effect, so Hengshan is the boundary, and it has not been an inch for more than ten years.

"Let's make a decisive battle here. Stop Wanyan Zongwang's department for more than three days, and our goal will be achieved." Yue Fei got on his horse and returned to his camp.

Fu Xuan was silent. What does this choice represent?
Put life and death aside!
Wanyan Zongwang brought his exhausted army to the foot of Crescent Moon City. Although he lost a lot of baggage, he still knew clearly that his journey to Taiyuan would definitely not be smooth sailing.

He indeed caused terrible casualties to the guerrilla Song army, and wiped out all the soldiers in one side!
In that battle, he did not order Feng Dao to gather the prisoners, but to kill them all.

The tradition of killing prisoners without knowing it is not true for the Jin people.

Since the Liao Kingdom galloped recklessly in Liaodong, every time the Jin people failed in battle, all the men above the wheel were slaughtered.

On the grassland, it is far more cruel than singing and dancing in the pass.

This is the world outside the pass, there has never been any kindness, it is all cruel massacres and deaths.In comparison, Guanzhong is undoubtedly happier.

However, Guanzhong was able to go out of the Great Wall many times, and the killed grassland tribes threw away their helmets and armors, and the failure of the grassland to form a joint force was also the key.

The people in the pass are really good at sowing discord.

Crescent City looked very weak under the nearly ten-meter-high trebuchet, and the earthen wall couldn't stop the bombardment of the roaring huge stones. Every time it hit the earthen city wall, at least a big hole was made.

The gravel shot out, taking away the fresh lives one by one.

There is no right or wrong in war, both sides are crazy.

Crescent City's defenders collapsed faster than Wanyan Zongwang expected. Standing two thousand steps away, he watched the city wall crumbling under the ravages of the catapults.

Before the order for the general attack was given, the defenders in Crescent Moon City had already retreated, and there were deserters all over the mountains and plains.

It is an honor to die for the country, but with such meaningless casualties, everyone will be shaken and just abandon the city and flee.

Many people in the state of Jin are like this, many people in the country of Liao are like this, and many people in the country of Song are like this.

Speaking of it, whether it is the Liao Kingdom, Xixia Kingdom, Jin Kingdom, or Song Dynasty, they are all built on the corpses of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The good ones, such as cold forging armor technology, heavy cavalry tactics, and official system, all learned from the prosperous Tang Dynasty.Similarly, escaping is also a good learning.

After all, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, fell six times, and the emperor escaped nine times.

During the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong of the former Tang Dynasty abandoned his capital and fled;
Tubo invaded and approached Chang'an, and Li Yu, the emperor of the former Tang Dynasty, left Shanzhou;
Jiedu envoy Li Xilie rebelled, Jing Nan's division rebelled, and Emperor Dezong of the former Tang Dynasty fled;

Huang Chao invaded Chang'an, and Emperor Xizong of the former Tang Dynasty fled to Chengdu;

The Shence Army collapsed, and Emperor Xizong of the former Tang Dynasty fled to Fengxiang;
Li Ke used to advance to Chang'an, and Emperor Zhaozong of the former Tang Dynasty fled to Fengxiang;

Then Li Ke used to attack Chang'an twice, and Emperor Zhaozong of the former Tang Dynasty fled to Fengxiang twice;

In the end, Zhu Quanzhong hijacked Zhaozong of the former Tang Dynasty to Luoyang, then killed him, and the Tang Dynasty officially perished.

But who dares to say that the Tang Dynasty is not powerful?No one dared to say that.

Escaping does not mean weakness. The Protectorate of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty lost the support of the Central Plains, and relied on its narrow territory and depth to fight back and forth between the Western Regions and the Great Food Kingdom.

Who can do it?No one can do it.Everyone remembers how powerful the prosperous Tang Dynasty was.

Jin, Song, Liao, Xia, Tubo, Dali, Li Dynasty, Huihe, and Khotan all lay on the corpses of the Tang Dynasty and were established?
Who doesn't claim to be the authentic successor of the Tang Dynasty?Who dares to say that Datang is a weak country?No.

It's not shameful to just run away, it's justified to retreat strategically, take a break, organize again, and avenge the bloody sea.

Facing an invincible enemy, no one would choose to fly moths to the flame.That's stupidity, not bravery.

Wanyan Zongwang walked into the dilapidated Crescent City, repaired it for a day, and then entered the mountain, it was the mountain road, the luggage was gathered, and the trebuchet was unloaded and loaded. People depend on the city-state, and it has been revised.

At dawn the next day, he went straight to Tianming Pass, looked at the majestic mountain road, the brick wall nearly ten meters high, and the defenders who were afraid but still holding their spears tightly. Jin Bing shook his head and sighed.

Since ancient times, the pass has been difficult to break through, and the terrain is too strong for the defenders. Rushing through it like this will only increase the casualties that don't matter.

Otherwise, how can it be called a pass?

There is also Maling Pass in the back. At Tianming Pass, it is completely unnecessary to pay huge casualties and costs.

Besides, it's not impossible to get around the Tianming Pass.Although the canyon next to it is difficult to pass in summer, it is smooth in winter.

This is also the reason why Wanyan Zongwang chose this place.

Wanyan Zongwang's vanguard quickly passed the ice-covered river and advanced to the canyon of Yixiantian.

After sweeping the cliffs on both sides of the canyon and confirming safety, Wanyan Zongwang's central and rear troops also crossed the river.

The terrain here is not suitable for ambush. It is not that the terrain is not rugged enough, but the cliffs on both sides are not very high, and they are all within the range of arrows. If you set up an ambush in such terrain, you will be shot by a golden man who is good at shooting. sieve.

Yue Fei didn't set up an ambush on the cliff like that, he commanded his army to eat a half full breakfast.

After inspecting the mechanisms of all the decisive battle chariots, and ordering to inspect all kinds of weapons, when the army was ready, they went down from the old barracks in Huangchao, from Yuma Road, to the Yixiantian Canyon.

Yue Fei ordered everyone to put on armor and horses to wear armor.

This was the equipment that Li Gang gave to the criminal army under the emperor's order before leaving. In Zhao Huan's heart, Yue Fei was a general, so he naturally had a preference in his heart. How could he rest assured that he did not have complete equipment to go to the battlefield?
He was also given a gold medal of 13 yuan, and an order to do things cheaply.

Yue Fei put on a shoulder shawl, a black hammer armor around his body, put on arm guards, tied them tightly with silk, and wrapped them around in circles. He stomped his feet vigorously to let his feet get used to the long shoes.

Wrapped the belly of the robe around the waist, wrapped the Luo sleeves, tied the armor tie, and put on the red silk belt.

The red inner lining and silk belt are actually metaphysical things, hoping for a good omen of meritorious deeds. It is said that wearing a red belt and wearing a red inner lining can attract benefits and ward off evil spirits, and the souls of the dead will not invade.

Put your hair up, wrap it with silk belts layer by layer, then put on the phoenix-winged pocket, pull up the collar in circles, and fix it on the helmet.

He moved his neck and body in a small range, allowing his body to adapt to the heavy armor, looked at the entrance of the canyon in the distance, and waited for the sinners to put on their armor.

"Shuai Yue! All the school inspections have been completed!" Fu Xuan shouted to Yue Fei after hearing the reports from the battalion commanders.

"Go forward!" Yue Fei's voice was extremely dull, which was due to the pause.

The soldiers pushed up the chariot and shouted like a mountain shouting: "Fight! Fight must be won!"

"The cloud follows the dragon, the wind follows the tiger, fame and wealth, dust and soil." Yue Fei played the leader of the military song with a dull but extremely majestic voice.

"Looking at Shenzhou, the people are suffering, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren! Look at the world, there are no barbarians, and the way of heaven is broken!"

"A good man, don't leave your parents, only for the sake of the common people and not for the Lord! A strong man drinks all the wine in his bowl, and he will never turn back on a journey of thousands of miles! The golden drum is beating and the crowd is roaring, and we will never stop until we break the yellow dragon!"

"No one cares about the sweat and blood salt car, thousands of miles away to harvest the bones. The river is broken and the road is dead. I pity you the most, and I feel like a man who is so determined! Look at the hands and mend the cracks in the sky!"

The sound of the waves was louder than the sound of the war drums, and the roaring war drums, the roaring war horses and military songs, followed the pace of the army formation, and walked towards the mountain pass step by step.

The moment the military song sounded, Wanyan Zongwang frowned and looked in the direction of the mountain pass!
Have an enemy?
In such a narrow terrain, although it is not conducive to the deployment of light cavalry like Kidnap Horse, it is the best battlefield for heavy cavalry!

Walk slowly with a hundred steps, walk fast with a hundred steps, and charge with a hundred steps!No matter what kind of army formation, the heavy cavalry in charge is enough to crush any formation on the opposite side!
He frowned and looked in the direction of the mountain pass, and shouted: "All the army! Prepare for war!"

The front army blocked the front layer by layer with huge shields at the fastest speed, while the rear army of the middle army quickly changed formation.

The sound of military songs became more and more loud, echoing throughout the canyon.

An orderly army formation appeared in front of them, black armor appeared in their eyes, and the big "Yue" flag fluttering in gold on a red background, in the howling mountain wind, kept churning in the wind, hunting rattle.

"Fight! The battle must be won!" The orderly shouts echoed in the canyon unceasingly. This sentence was what Zhao Huan said unintentionally when Master Zhong Dao asked Zhao Huan how far he had fought.

On both sides of the narrow passage, there are two armies facing each other, and the atmosphere of killing fills the whole valley.

Even the crows on the cliff stopped their crowing, and looked curiously at the two groups of soldiers below. In their smart eyes, they seemed to be thinking about whether they could have an extra meal today.

　Weakly ask for a recommendation ticket.
