On the west bank of the Yellow River, the vanguards of the new generals of the Song Dynasty, the new army generals of the Song Dynasty, almost forced the Zhou army to set foot in the camp.

After Lu Yihao agreed to ask for money for the camps and allocated a half% of the "down payment", the huge Hebei New Army's main force took action very quickly under the supervision of Yao Gu.

I have to say that these new military businessmen still have the business level!

The 10 new generals, with the first general in Xihe in Quduan as the vanguard, marched quickly to Dacheng County. After completing the defense quickly, they then went step by step to approach the Yellow River.

Finally, the two generals of Kaifeng and Xihe were on the left wing, Shuofang and Daming were on the right wing, and the two generals of Fuyan were on the center, and the two generals of Hejian were on the big city as the back hall, and the two generals of Shuofang and the fourth generals of Zhaoyi were on the mobile phone, forming a good formation.

The light cavalry provoked by various Song troops from various Song troops visited the Song army's Dazhai, Diaoyutai Village, and Qingzhou City to strictly prevent the Zhou army from breaking into the hinterland of Hebei from two places.

The Zhou army did not seem to have a large-scale idea of ​​breaking into the hinterland of Hebei. Instead, like the Song army, they acted as if they had built a tough camp and fought a stupid battle. The troops were divided into two groups, approaching the direction of the big city. After encountering the vanguard of the Song army, they began to dig trenches and build villages, and there was no intention of starting a decisive battle.

Another Zhou army surrounded Qingzhou City. However, they did not immediately attack the city. Instead, they dug moats on three sides outside Qingzhou City (the city of Qingzhou faces the Yellow River) and acted as if they were besieging the bastion.

When the news came, the morale of the generals of the Hebei New Army was greatly boosted. What they feared the most was a quick battle! First, they could not defeat it; second, they could not continue to extort money...

Now crossing the Yellow River, the number of Zhou troops was significantly higher than that of Song troops in this area between Qingzhou City, Diaoyutaizhai, Dacheng County!

Including the defenders of Diaoyutaizhai and Qingzhou City, the number of Song troops was only about 60,000. The number of Zhou troops was probably not enough to be able to fight with 100,000!

In addition, the firepower of the Zhou army was also stronger than that of the Song army. Other field artillery cannons can hit 6 kilograms and 4 kilograms of artillery cannons. However, the Song army's 400 kilograms cannons can only hit 1 kilogram of projectiles.

Although there are some heavy artillery, the number is too small and the mobility is too poor, and it cannot be compared with the Zhou army artillery.

If the Zhou army chose to fight the main force of the Song army in the eastern part of Dacheng County first and then Qingzhou City, then the 10 generals of the Song army in Hebei would inevitably suffer a defeat!

The old camp of the Hejianfu Road strategic pacification envoy Zhong Shidao also moved from the Sanhekou Fortress to Dacheng County. The location of this battle was the jurisdiction of Hejianfu Road, and Zhong Shidao was the most suitable commander of the three armed forces.

As soon as he arrived at the front line, he immediately convened a military discussion between the various troops. Unlike the last military discussion chaired by Lu Yihao, the answer to the military discussion is that it is really about how to fight... or how to make a big deal and last for a long time!

In the military tent, the huge wooden figures were densely painted with various symbols, and the numbers of each general were also marked in small regular script next to them.

The old husband, wearing a cotton robe and cloth straps, pointed to the formation of the two armies on the wooden picture and said eruditely.

"... Although the Eastern thief army is large, it is unwilling to come and siege our hard camp, but chooses to besiege Qingzhou City. This is to force us to take the initiative and then use field battle to decide the victory! There are many thief soldiers in the East, and the firearms are good, and the cavalry is even more defeated. If we want to win the field battle, we will most likely be at a disadvantage. Fortunately, the Qingzhou city is solid and will be fine for a while!

...A certain method is to move the hard village forward as much as possible, put it on the camp of the Eastern Thief, and then build it to Qingzhou City bit by bit, so that the Eastern Thief will not be able to attack the city with all its strength. As long as Qingzhou City can persist until next spring, we will have the possibility of winning."

After Zhong Shidao finished talking about his plan, a low whispering sound came from the General Office. Whether it was Yao Gu, the generals like Zhong Shizhong, or the new army generals like Qu Duan and Wang Yuan, they all showed a satisfied expression.

The old generation's command is still reliable. It is a fool to fight against the 100,000 Eastern Thiefs on the opposite side! After all the capital is spent, where can we make a fortune?

It is better to use a hard force to get up. Even if the hard village cannot withstand it, everyone can have a chance to retreat slowly.

As for what happens after delaying until next spring, let’s talk about it then!

Maybe the court trained more new troops to supplement Hebei, maybe the court reached a peace agreement with the Eastern thieves to pay millions of dollars...

"Boom boom boom..."

Just as the generals were about to compliment Mr. Zhong, the sound of muffled thunder rolling suddenly came from outside.

Today is a sunny day, with the sun hanging high, how could it be thunder?

The generals immediately realized something was wrong and their faces became solemn.

Master Zhong seemed very calm, touched his beard and smiled, "It must be the thief in the east who is firing fire... Let's take a look!"

Seeing that Master Zhong was calm, all the generals breathed a sigh of relief. They followed Master Zhong out of the Supervisor's headquarters in Dacheng County, then turned over and took their horses, and headed towards the front line of the cannon sound.

The bombardment was being launched by Wu Yixin's Third Division. The engineers of the Third Division had just completed a gun base located on the front and also mounted a 12-pound heavy artillery transported from the rear. They were bombarding the camp of the Song army opposite now!

In addition, there were a whole brigade of infantrymen, arriving in the two wings of the artillery tower, waiting to fight with the Song army who were bombarded and "forced out of" the camp.

But they were destined to be in vain.

Because the Song army's camp had long considered the issue of being bombarded, the exterior wall was built into an inclined surface and the height was limited, so we were not afraid of the bombardment of the Zhou army's cannons.

And even if there are some casualties and injuries, the new army of the Song army can persist. At most, a few cannons are not to be brave, but to report a battle!

The Eastern thief came to attack (the artillery was also an attack), and was repelled by the powerful troops of the Song Dynasty (the camp was not lost anyway), and it was undoubtedly the Song army who won... and then they could seek credit and rewards. This deal was really easy to do!

...

Just as the sound of cannons rumbling on the front line of Bazhou, Qingzhou, dozens of small sampans also penetrated the waves of the Bohai Sea under the cover of the roaring naval guns, and leaned onto the beach near Zhifu Mountain in Dengzhou with a loud bang.

Before the sampan had stopped, the Great Zhou naval military soldiers filled with them had already jumped down. The first Zhou army officer wore half-body armor and a six-petal iron helmet on his head. He held a Mo Dao and jumped into the cold sea with barefoot. The soldiers also rumbled down, each of them was half-body armor and iron helmets, holding a Mo Dao and barefoot.

This is the standard outfit of the Great Zhou marines during landing warfare!

Unlike the half-agricultural army, half-army and half-army army, the Navy of the Great Zhou were recruiting soldiers, and the same was the same as the Marine Army. They were all professional soldiers with high salaries. They were truly elite soldiers!

The recruiting system actually has its advantages. It is separated from agriculture and animal husbandry, and the carefully selected professional soldiers can be trained to become elite aces.

However, there must be a prerequisite, that is, there must be a martial and combative environment. The most ideal thing is of course to develop the most elite recruiting troops based on the knights and the palace soldiers.

If you accidentally encounter a martial arts-loving environment, it is difficult to recruit good soldiers. If it is in the era of cold weapons, it will be even more difficult. Traditional martial arts have been honed and the idea of ​​being a good soldier by putting down a hoe is basically unrealistic.

With hundreds of thousands of military citizens, the Great Zhou, which can also obtain the savage Jurchens, yellow-headed Jurchens, Khitans and Xi knights, as well as various grassland herdsmen sources. Of course, the most elite professional marine soldiers can be formed!

"Not found that the Song bandits were deployed! Successfully went to land!"

Major Xu Tu, the battalion commander of the 4th Battalion of the 4th Brigade of the Second Marine Division, held Mo Dao, looked around, shouted, and then looked back. The sea was covered with Zhou Navy ships participating in the landing operation. The sailing battleships were forming a shelling formation and opened fire in rounds of fire at places suspected to be the Song army camp on the coast. The sand ships carrying troops were changing one after another, and a large number of soldiers climbed down the rope net, climbed onto various small boats, and then worked hard to sail to the beach.

There was no warship from the Song Dynasty on the sea.

There was no soldier from the Song army on the beach!

"Brothers, follow me quickly!" Major Xu Tu shouted, held up the Mo Dao, stepped on the sea water, and rushed towards the beach.

The bay near Zhifu Mountain is the Yantai Harbor in later generations, and it is the best-class port among the Bohai Bay.

However, it was not developed at this time, and its prosperity was far less than that of Penglai Port, Dengzhou, which was west of Zhifu River.

The Zhou navy had long noticed this bay and wanted to take it for itself.

This bay is a non-freezing port and is located at the entrance of the Bohai Bay. It is more suitable to become the home port of the Beiyang Navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is too cold in winter. Although the port will not be completely frozen, there are floating ice everywhere, which will cause certain damage to the ships.

So after the Song and Zhou war broke out, the Zhou navy was holding on to his strength and must seize "Yantai" as its new home port.

Since October, the Beiyang Fleet commanded by Admiral Chen Tianli has been concentrated in the Five Islands Islands, waiting for the opportunity to capture "Yantai". According to the plan, they should launch a landing battle after the army attacks Hebei and occupy Zhifu Mountain and its nearby beaches.

Then build a fortress at the entrance of the Zhifu Mountain Peninsula. The Zhifu Mountain Peninsula is like a hammer, connected to the Shandong Peninsula by a thin "wooden handle". As long as you control the "wooden handle", you can "circle" a good harbor and a peninsula to station troops.

After occupying the Zhifu Peninsula and establishing a port terminal, the Beiyang Fleet continuously transported the "Shandong Legion" troops of the Zhou Guo Army stationed in Lushun Prefecture to continuously transport over to open up a "Jingdong Second Battlefield".

With the "Hebei First Battlefield" and "JD Second Battlefield", Hedong will become an overlooked battlefield...

If Xiao Gan is willing to turn against him, the conditions for such a big detour will be fully met!
