Chapter 1070 Zongwang's ambition (seeking a monthly ticket)
The casualty report of the bloody battle at Moutuogang soon came out. The Song army killed more than 18,000 people, seriously injured more than 4,300 people, and suffered countless minor injuries. The Jin army suffered casualties of about 10,000 people.
It's almost a ratio of two to one.
From the data, it seems that the Song Army suffered a disastrous defeat. In fact, this is not the case, because based on the population gap between the two sides, even if the Song Army trades five for one, it can still afford it, because the Song Army alone has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there are also
There are millions of citizens, and the follow-up ability is too strong. Your Jin army only has 60,000 to 70,000 troops, and they will be gone after the battle. By the time your reinforcements arrive, you will probably be exhausted long ago.
This is not to say that the people of the Song Dynasty are willing to degenerate, and you are still complacent. You can't make up for this gap in strength perfectly. Others have a few horses, and you have a few horses. The gap is too big.
If you don't lose, you win, if you defeat it, you win. Moreover, you must know that since Wanyan Agu started his army, the Jin army has rarely suffered tens of thousands of casualties. This is extremely rare, whether it is against the Liao, Song or Jin armies.
Usually there are thousands of people chasing tens of thousands of people.
It can be said to be a miracle that this battle was fought like this!
From a strategic point of view, the Song Army also won the victory. The Jin Army did not capture Moutuogang. They never crossed the red line. For the Song Army, it was not just a victory.
It is more about self-confidence. They gradually stepped out of the shadow of the Golden Army and knew that this Golden Army is not invincible. As long as you have a fatal determination, you can defeat anyone.
After hearing the news, the residents of Kaifeng felt a mixture of sadness and joy. They took the best things at home, whether it was clothes or food, and sent them to the families of the deceased spontaneously. Their children were good.
They are great heroes. It is precisely because of their bloody battle that we can still stand here.
Many people even asked their sons to go into battle to kill the enemy. Zhao Kai originally wanted to give some subsidies to these families. But he was short of money and did not have the power to award rewards, so he could only issue a notice, which was equivalent to giving these
He also sent an IOU to the family members, and he personally went to the homes of the deceased to express condolences to them. He understood a truth, those who win the hearts of the people will win the world.
If Song Huizong issued this notice on that day, the people would definitely think that this motherfucker is bullshit.
But Zhao Kai is different. The people all know his difficulties. He is probably the poorest regent in the world, and he is already very grateful for this IOU.
Times Weekly of the Song Dynasty did not brag to no limit as before, but went to great lengths to brag. Instead, it issued a list of more than 10,000 people, hoping that the people would remember them.
……．
Inside the Jin Army’s base camp.
Compared with the smiles and relaxed atmosphere of the previous days, the atmosphere now seemed a bit heavy, and all the soldiers fell into silence.
For the Song Army, not losing means winning. On the contrary, for them, not winning means losing. They will not think that their own people died less than the opponent. They will only think that these 10,000 casualties have made them lose.
unacceptable.
When they arrived, they were all confident. They saw that Li Qi had stationed this force outside the city. It seemed that Kaifeng City was already a piece of food for them, and they could easily get it. Who would have thought that after fighting for a long time, they even opened the city gate.
I didn't even see it, and I couldn't even take down Moutuogang. If I tell you this, I won't make anyone laugh.
What makes them even more puzzled is how the Song army, which has always been cowardly and fearful of death, suddenly became so brave. Everyone looked at death as if they were home. There were also those flaming spears and exploding arrows. How did all this happen?
What's going on, no one can figure it out.
They no longer dare to despise this imperial army.
Wanyan Zongwang actually felt very guilty in his heart. Although he had been cautious enough, he still looked down on the Song army from the bottom of his heart. As a result, he suffered heavy losses in the Moutuogang battle. However, as the commander-in-chief, he could not show it to avoid injury.
He glanced at the soldiers and said majestically: "Why don't you say anything? We haven't lost yet. Are you going to give up? If so, you are not worthy of being my good man, Daijin. You
But don’t forget that in every war against Liao in the past, we won the final victory in desperate situations. One defeat is not enough to explain any problem. Whoever laughs to the end will be the biggest winner."
What he said is correct. When they fought with the Liao Kingdom, they only had a small number of troops. If they lost, they would lose completely. However, they were able to win more with less every time. Of course, this has a lot to do with Wanyan Aguda's leadership ability.
It can be said to be an exhaustive strategy.
Wanyan Zongbi stood up and said: "Second brother, I would like to lead the army to fight Moutuogang again."
Many generals stood up, asked for battle, and even expressed their willingness to receive military orders. They really couldn't swallow this breath.
Liu Yanzong said: "Supervisor, the Song Army is much stronger than we imagined. The opponent has already set up an iron barrel formation in Moutuogang. If they blindly attack Moutuogang, it will be difficult to win and they will lose money."
huge."
Wanyan Zongwang nodded. He just wanted to motivate these soldiers. Of course he knew that it was not advisable to attack Moutuogang again. He said: "The Song army is better than us in that they have fortresses and chariots for defense, so they can withstand
Our charge was the main reason for our defeat in the Moutuogang battle. What made us better than the Song army was that our cavalry was far stronger than theirs. If we had taken Moutuogang by force, the horses we got would still be weak.
It is not enough to compensate for the horses we lost, so I should try to make full use of our advantages and not engage in positional battles with the Song army. We must run, we must charge, and we must defeat them on the move."
After hearing this, all the generals nodded, feeling that it would be unwise to rush into the opponent's car formation.
Pharmacist Guo now has no men, so his value has been greatly weakened, but he must show his existence and is still valuable. You, Wanyan Zongwang, still have to rely on me. I racked my brains to think about it, and suddenly my eyes lit up.
, said: "Second Prince, the general has a plan that can break the enemy's chariot formation."
Wanyan Zongwang hurriedly said: "Speak quickly."
Pharmacist Guo said: "We can escort thousands of people from Daming Mansion and drive them to the front. The Song army will definitely not be able to attack its own people, but we can take advantage of the situation and rush up to annihilate the enemy."
As soon as these words came out, many generals looked at each other, and many others nodded in agreement.
However, Wanyan Zongwang remained silent, and then looked at Liu Yanzong.
Liu Yanzong asked: "Excuse me, the supervisor. Are you here to occupy this place and destroy the Southern Dynasties, or do you just want to grab something and go back."
Wanyan Zongwang smiled and nodded, saying: "This plan is simply terrible."
Pharmacist Guo was complacent, thinking that his plan was impeccable and would be greatly praised by Wanyan Zongwang. Who knew that Wanyan Zongwang would ruthlessly reject it? He couldn't help but feel surprised and looked at Wanyan Zongwang in surprise.
Wanyan Zongwang pointed his hand outside and said: "Outside are all our warriors from Dajin, but most of them are Han and Khitan people. Why are they standing here? It's because their country has abandoned them. If, we
If you use the strategy of driving away the people to defeat the enemy, then you will not get victory or Kaifeng City, but the hatred of tens of millions of people in the Southern Dynasties. They will resist us even more desperately. This will not only make our army, but also the enemy
We, Dajin, are in a state of eternal doom. How many people are there in the Southern Dynasties and how many Han people are there? You should know better than me. Have you finished killing them? Even if we can use the sword in our hands to make them submit for a while, once they find an opportunity,
They immediately raised troops to deal with us, and we will pay a heavy price for this. The Southern Dynasties have already taught us a good lesson on this point. Even if the killing is finished, what can I do with these empty cities?
You all must remember that we are dealing with the Southern Dynasty court and army. It is the Southern Dynasty people with weapons, not the helpless Southern Dynasty people, because our purpose is to occupy this place and to
Destroy the Southern Dynasty, replace it, and rule this area instead of just being a brutal bandit. However, if you want to rule this place, you must make the people living in this place surrender to us and make them our great leader.
People of the Jin Dynasty. If anyone says something that harms my plans again, I will definitely deal with him under military law."
Unlike Wanyan Zonghan, he likes to use violence to fight violence, quickly expand his territory, and make achievements. He is more inclined to support the Han people to rule the Han people, reduce the Han people's anti-gold sentiment, slowly disintegrate them from the inside, and then slowly annex them.
Song Dynasty, because he felt that if he only relied on killing to make the Han people surrender, it would be counterproductive and arouse the fighting mood of the Han people. If tens of millions of Han people really work together, no matter how brave your iron hooves are, you will not be able to withstand them!
Moreover, this trick may be useful for others, but Wanyan Zongwang knows that it may not work for a lunatic like Li Qi. It will only give him the best reason to encourage people to fight against gold.
In history, when the Jin army broke through Kaifeng City, Wanyan Zongwang advocated retaining the Huiqin Emperors as puppets of the Jin State to continue to rule the Han people. First, let the two nationalities integrate, learn the culture of the Han people, and use the culture of the Han people to fight against the Han people.
To rule the Han people, however, they encountered opposition from Wanyan Zonghan and others, who insisted on escorting Emperor Huiqin to the north, to create something new and completely destroy the Song Dynasty. Wanyan Zongwang was so angry that he walked away at that time, which caused the Han people to resist the Jin Dynasty.
It was an unprecedented surge. Rebels were fighting against the Jin almost everywhere, which also caused the Jin army to suffer unprecedented heavy losses in the Yangtze River Basin and suffered heavy losses. If Zhao Gou, the emperor who was desperate for survival, had not adopted a policy of partial security, his Kaifeng capital
It may not be possible to hold it.
But if Wanyan Zongwang's tolerant policy had been adopted at that time, the result might have been different.
Although Wanyan Zonghan might be slightly superior to Wanyan Zongwang militarily, he was far from Wanyan Zongwang's vision and strategy. However, for the Song Dynasty, it was really sad to have such an opponent.
When Pharmacist Guo saw that his flattery was slapped on the horse's leg, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and said: "The general will finally be convicted."
Wanyan Zongwang chuckled and said: "He who doesn't know is not guilty." Even so, he already had murderous intentions towards Medicine Master Guo in his heart. If a person like you can do this to your own people, can I still expect you to be grateful to me, Daijin?
Isn't this a big joke?
Pharmacist Guo was so clever that he was misled by his cleverness. These words cost him his life.
As a non-Jurchen, Liu Yanzong admired Wanyan Zongwang from the bottom of his heart and said: "What the supervisor said is really good. In fact, we still have the initiative now. We can constantly change between feint attacks and main attacks. We can
Continue to attack Moutuogang with the main force, but at the same time divide the troops to feint to attack other places. First, drag the main force of the Song army in Moutuogang. If Moutuogang can be captured, that would be the best. But if not, we can immediately send the main force to Moutuogang.
Turn the attack to other places, turn the feint attack into the main attack, and turn the main attack into a feint attack. After all, our cavalry can run fast, and the Song army can only follow us, exhausted. Once the Song army moves, they will lose their advantage.
We can even annihilate them on the way."
Wanyan Zongwang laughed and said, "Yan Zong, what you and I think really coincide with each other!"
PS: You foodies are so awesome. Xiaoxi really didn’t expect to be able to touch the top six positions in the category. For this, Xiaoxi is really grateful to you all for your strong support. I am ashamed to say that this little chef’s book
I have written four million words and have never been on the category list for more than ten days. Of course, this is mainly due to my lack of effort. I admit this, although I am very stable (the author has always emphasized that he is very stable)
, in fact, this is what he is good at. Author:......!), but there are few outbursts. I have been striving to change this and strive to write more every day. Recently, Xiaoxi often
Posting three chapters, even if it is two chapters, the number of words can be regarded as three chapters. Xiaoxi thinks that this small progress is worthy of encouragement. Finally, I have to say that I am very excited about the increase in monthly tickets yesterday.
I am very touched and thank you very much for your support. However, Master Li has a good saying, saying ten thousand words of gratitude is not as real as the whole thing. In order to thank you all, I will continue with three chapters tomorrow, and an additional chapter will be posted at noon.
I strive to make it more enjoyable for everyone, and I also hope that everyone can continue to support the little chef and vote for more monthly votes, even if the little chef stays on the monthly vote classification list for a full month!
