Da Song: The opening game killed Ximen Qing

PS: Sorry, the chapter order is wrong, it has been revised, sorry very much!!

“To the west of us, it is also the place where the imperial court gathered heavy troops. In the Eastern Ming Dynasty, the imperial court assembled the Right Wing of the Longjie Army, the Crane Army and the Hujie Army, with a total strength of 125,000 men. In the cities of Xiangyi and Taikang, there were also six forbidden armies drawn from Jingxi Road, Jingxi Road and Huainan West Road, with a total strength of more than 40,000 people. In addition, the Song army in Bianjing, as well as the iron cavalry army, the Japanese army and the Tianwu army, with a total strength of up to 150,000 people. Even the left wing of the Longjie Army, the Dragon Guard Army and the Divine Guard Army, which we eliminated last year, are now being rebuilt. ”

“Gee! The entire Gyeonggi Road is undoubtedly the focus of the Song Army’s defense! The forbidden army assembled alone numbered nearly 300,000. There are also 125,000 troops in the process of rebuilding. It seems that Zhao Yao, the dog emperor, is afraid of death! So many elite troops were actually assembled in Gyeonggi Road. Wu Song shook his head speechlessly.

Although the Great Song Dynasty has always been a strong and weak branch of implementation.

Deploy up to half of the elite forbidden army near the Jing Division to strengthen the imperial court’s control over the army, thus avoiding the situation of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties period.

In addition, after the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, it has always been civilized and martial, and the status of soldiers is far inferior to that of civilian officials.

This greatly reduced the likelihood of an army rebellion.

But at the same time, it also greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty army. Especially after those elite Song troops at the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China were eliminated, the next forbidden army became weaker and weaker.

Even the forbidden army is like this, and the box army is even more needless to say.

So much so that in the wars against the Liao State and Western Xia, the Song army repeatedly failed. Not only bowed to the Liao State, but also sent a large number of years coins every year, which was simply a shame to throw people home.

“Grand Commander, Gyeonggi Road is undoubtedly a hard bone, I’m afraid it’s hard to gnaw!” Lin Chong also had a solemn expression.

Although the strength of the Liangshan rebel army has skyrocketed to more than 300,000 people. But dealing with an enemy on three sides is also very difficult. If you want to attack westward in a big way and take Bianjing, it is undoubtedly very difficult.

After all, as the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Bianjing’s defense force is also very strong.

Wu Song nodded and forcibly launched an attack on Bianjing, which would definitely not work.

Wu Song was reluctant to take the elite strength that had been painstakingly trained to confront the Song army. If we can preserve these elite troops as much as possible and put them into future wars with Western Xia and even the Liao Kingdom, it will undoubtedly be the best.

“Grand Commander, then we will not take the initiative to attack. On the front line of the east-west road in Beijing, only take care of defense. Attack from other directions. Further expand the sphere of influence of our Liangshan rebels. If we can take Huainan East Road, Huainan West Road, and even Jiangnan East Road and Liangzhe Road and other wealthy places in one fell swoop, this will greatly expand the sphere of influence of our Liangshan rebels. There are also more people under control. Naturally, it is also possible to raise more money and food to arm more troops. In this way, we can also have a more powerful force to compete with the imperial court for the world! Gongsun Sheng made a suggestion.

Wu Song’s eyes couldn’t help but light up: “This is a good way!” Avoid places where the enemy’s strength is strong, attack the enemy’s weak strength knows. After making a breakthrough, we can undoubtedly further strengthen our strength! ”

Wu Song believed that if the Liangshan rebels could break through in other directions, especially in the south, it would allow the Liangshan rebels to occupy a large area of territory in a very short time.

The southern regions not only had a large population, but also developed commerce and trade, and were also the main granaries of the Great Song Dynasty.

Once the Liangshan rebels occupied these roads in the south, with the policy of treating the peasants favorably, they would certainly be able to obtain the strong support of the peasants in a very short time and quickly stabilize their rule.

Recruit more troops, and that’s not a problem.

At that time, it will be much easier to turn around and threaten Bianjing from the south and besiege Bianjing.

Many of the other Liangshan generals, although not from professional military backgrounds, were not from professional military backgrounds. But they still understand such a simple truth.

“Brothers, then the focus of our attack is the south. However, given that there are strong enemies to the west and north. Therefore, we cannot put too many troops into the south for the time being. Brother Yang Zhi, the Second Army led by you, Brother Li Ying, the Ninth Army led by you. As well as Brother Zhu Tong, the Seventh Army led by you will be all the forces we put into fighting in the south. In addition, from the Second Cavalry Corps, three cavalry regiments were transferred and strengthened to you. I hope that you will be able to defeat the enemies assembled by the Song army in the south in the shortest possible time and capture several roads in the south in one fell swoop. Wusong said.

“Yes, Grand Commander!” Yang Zhi, Zhu Tong, and Li Ying all got up and answered.

In their opinion, although the Song army gathered more than 130,000 people in the south. But except for the more than 40,000 people in the six forbidden armies who had slightly some combat effectiveness, the remaining more than 90,000 boxes of troops were not a concern at all.

Don’t say about sending out three infantry corps, even two infantry corps will be able to sweep them across!

Three infantry corps were dispatched, and they were captured, and there were no problems.

“The Song army in the north has the Sixth Army of the Cheng brothers, the Eighth Army of the Dong Ping brothers, and the remaining three cavalry regiments of the Second Cavalry Army of the Qin Ming brothers to deal with.” Wu Song ordered.

“Yes, Grand Commander!” Dong Ping, Dong Ping, and Qin Ming all replied.

Compared to the 1st Cavalry Corps, which was already full, the 2nd Cavalry Corps was not full. Because of the lack of war horses, even if the Liangshan rebels collected war horses everywhere, they only formed six cavalry regiments for the Second Cavalry Corps, as well as a heavy regiment and an artillery regiment.

Fortunately, the ordnance manufacturing supervisor has been working overtime for this period of time, and finally equipped all the armies with artillery. As a result, the combat effectiveness of all armies has been greatly strengthened.

Although the Song army in the north was relatively strong in combat, the Liangshan rebel army should be able to cope with it if it gathered two infantry corps and three cavalry regiments. Even, if you can catch the fighters, you may not be able to defeat them in one fell swoop.

“The remaining troops, including the First, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Armies, as well as the First Cavalry Corps, and even the main force of the Water Army, are used to defend against the Song Army in the direction of Gyeonggi Road!” Wu Song continued.

“Yes, Grand Commander!” Lin Chong, Lei Heng, Lu Zhishen, Mu Hong, Yang Xiong and others all answered.

There is no doubt that the Song army they faced this way was the strongest. Of course, the premise is that Song Huizong has the courage to send all the forces around Bianjing to attack.

Otherwise, if it were to defend alone, these 150,000 people of the Liangshan rebel army would still be elite, enough to withstand the attack of the Song army.
