"My second feeling is that our previous impressions of the Liao soldiers and Jurchens have completely changed. I mean the strategies and methods of combat. Although this time we did not find any secret weapons they had
, but it is not without gain. In the past, the impression given to us by the Liao people was that they rode and shot freely, coming and going like the wind. Therefore, our way to deal with them in the Zhou Dynasty was to camp step by step and build high walls and fortifications to defend them. But now, from Liao,
Judging from the battles between people and the imperial army, whether it is the Battle of Zhuozhou or the battle of Xijin Prefecture, we can see that the Liao Army is no longer the single means of cavalry and shooting raids as we thought. They will
He was also very good at setting up ambushes for defending the city. The reason why the imperial troops were defeated was that the Liao people held on for four days when they attacked Jinfu, until the reinforcements from the Liao tribe arrived. This was the case in the past.
It is unimaginable. This time, the imperial soldiers and horses carried a large amount of siege equipment. The most advanced siege vehicles and Yunxiao vehicles and oil trucks were all used. However, they were unable to capture Xijin Mansion quickly, which is clear evidence.
I heard that the Liao people actually invented a diamond drill to deal with the roller coaster. They drilled through the iron shell of the roller coaster and threw kerosene bottles inside. A large number of roller coasters were burned. Han Desui, the Privy Councilor of the South Privy Council of the Liao Kingdom, led by Jinfu,
, this person is brave and resourceful and cannot be underestimated. If we encounter this person on the battlefield in the future, we must not take it lightly."
Everyone frowned and pondered. From the beginning to now, one thing they have not been able to figure out is how the imperial court defeated hundreds of thousands of troops. The soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty used various methods to attack the city. Even if the city of Xijin Mansion is strong, it will be difficult.
Defend, because the Liao people are not good at defending the city. Their long bows are not enough to stop the siege troops and horses. But now it sounds like the Liao people have changed. They are no longer the kind of people who were only good at riding, shooting and raiding but not good at defending.
The soldiers and horses of the city were exhausted. I am afraid that the soldiers and horses of the Zhou Dynasty who attacked the city never expected this. As a result, they were exhausted and exhausted. In the end, the enemy's reinforcements arrived and they were completely defeated.
"...As for the Jurchens, they are even more impressive. I know that before this, everyone had no impression of the Jurchens. They thought they were just mountain savages who wore animal skins and drank blood like wild beasts. But now. But now
I can tell you that they are definitely not what we imagined. They are indeed as wild as beasts and their military discipline is very lax, but their fighting power is extremely powerful. Not only are they good at frontal combat, everyone is good at close combat.
Brave warriors, and what’s even more frightening is that they are not reckless men. The battle in the wilderness under Xingzhongfu City was that they hid their figures in the unobstructed wilderness and attracted the Liao Army’s 100,000 cavalry into the encirclement.
As a result, we almost wiped out all our opponents and reversed the situation. That night, we went to have a closer look, but we found almost no trace of their hiding and ambush. We almost fell into their siege. You know, it was in the wilderness.
, it’s amazing how they can hide themselves in such a way, one has to admire them." Lin Jue smacked his lips and continued.
"Isn't that right? We knew they were in that area that night, but we didn't find them at all. Although it was night, it was also a night with a bright moon in the sky. They were hundreds of thousands of troops, but we couldn't find them at all.
Traces of it." Sun Dayong was also deeply impressed and couldn't help but echoed.
"The Jurchens have one person and one horse. The people and horses have been cooperating with each other since they were very young. Their horses have been trained to understand their masters' words, truly achieving the state where man and war horse become one. Regardless of whether Whether they are hiding or attacking, they can coordinate seamlessly. This is more powerful than the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom. Although they
Their armor is crude, but their close combat skills make up for their shortcomings. They are a completely different style of cavalry from the Liao army. They do not rely on bows and arrows to kill, but rely on surprise attacks and brutal close combat. I After thinking about it, if our Luoyan Army encountered a close attack from them, we would probably have to pay a heavy price." Lin Jue nodded.
"The Jurchens are invincible if they are less than a hundred. I think I have heard this saying before, and it seems to make sense." Shen Tan said with a frown.
"Bah, Brother Shen, you are going too far, why are you following the praise? The Jurchens are so powerful? What about my Luoyan Army? I am invincible with a hundred people? I was the first to refuse to accept it and asked them to compete with my Luoyan Army. Try?" Ma Bin shouted dissatisfied.
"Even so, I think these words are a bit exaggerated. Brother Shen, it's not a brother contradicting you. I don't believe these words." Liang Qiye said dissatisfied.
Shen Tan laughed and said, "I just said that, but I didn't say it was true. It was only after Mr. Lin said this that I remembered this sentence. I also sneered at it before."
Lin Jue waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion and said in a deep voice: "It's not wrong to pay attention to the enemy. They are indeed strong. And not only their fighting methods, they also use strategies, and they are definitely not reckless. What impressed me even more is their hiding. In addition to the ferocious means of fighting, there is also their communication method. They actually trained falcons to deliver messages. These falcons can actually intercept the military orders passed by the opponent's army. This is simply incredible. Yelv Zong Yuan Juba's order It was Haidongqing who was released by Wanyan Agu who intercepted the news. After learning about it in advance, he was able to escape unscathed. That was not luck. It was a method they had planned long ago to intercept the opponent's intelligence. It was targeted. Our means of communication are all homing pigeons. Just imagine, if we confront the Jurchens, what secrets do we have? After they learn the key information, they can arrange it in advance, and what will be the result?"
Goosebumps appeared on everyone's bodies. If that were the case, it would be as if they were naked in front of the Jurchens, and everything could be seen clearly.
"These may seem like trivial details, but they play a decisive role. You must know that it was precisely by relying on these means that Wanyan Agu's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses escaped annihilation. A small eagle saved the entire army. This is not a trivial matter. Moreover, falcons can deliver messages several times faster than our homing pigeons. A distance of hundreds of miles can be reached in a day and night. For the layout of the battle, coordinated command and communication are not very important. It goes without saying. I hope you all understand this." Lin Jue continued in a deep voice.
Everyone in the audience was buzzing with discussion. Many people did not realize the seriousness of the problem at first, thinking that it was just some trivial means that would have little impact on the real battle. But after listening to Lin Jue's analysis, he suddenly felt that his thoughts Big mistake. As Mr. Lin often said before, when leading a battle, it is not only a bloody battle, but also countless detailed preparations and games, and the impact of every detail must be considered. Because it may just be A small oversight can ruin the entire battle. I didn't quite understand Master Lin's words before, but today it's like a sudden enlightenment.
"The third point of realization is about the current situation. The current situation is already in chaos, and the situation we were most worried about has already happened. After the imperial court's defeat, it will bring about a series of serious consequences. From now on, the world will not be the same.
No matter how peaceful it is, at this time, I, the Luoyan Army, may not be able to survive alone. When I come back
On the way, I have been thinking about this matter. I think we must make a positive response. Our Luoyan Army must become stronger and must adjust its strategy to deal with it." Lin Jue said quietly.
"Brother-in-law, in your opinion, where will the situation develop after the imperial court's defeat? Will the Liao people attack the Zhou Dynasty for revenge? I don't know how the imperial court will respond. How should I, the Luoyan Army, respond?" Guo Kun
He frowned and said in thought.
The question asked by Guo Kun was also a topic of great concern to everyone, so everyone calmed down and listened to Lin Jue's answer.
Lin Jue shook his head and smiled: "I originally wanted to ask your opinion. What will happen after Yang Jun's defeat? This is indeed a complicated issue. I think the Liao people will definitely retaliate, but in what way?
But it’s unknown.”
Guo Kun frowned and said: "What do you mean by this? Aren't the Liao people going to mobilize troops and horses to attack our great Zhou Dynasty in order to take revenge? What other ways can we do?"
"Yes, isn't it a full-scale war?" everyone said one after another.
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "The war is going to start, but maybe not now. I think that the Liao Kingdom will not fully invade our Zhou Dynasty in a short time. It is very simple. Although Yang Jun was defeated, the situation faced by the Liao people is still
The trend of a pincer attack from the north and the south. The general situation has not changed, how can the Liao people invade the south in a large scale? Although the Zhou Dynasty is now in turmoil, this defeat is even worse. But when it comes to having to fight, the Zhou Dynasty still has nearly a hundred troops on paper.
Ten thousand. Perhaps most of them have no combat effectiveness, but the 200,000 Forbidden Army and the 250,000 Northwest Army still have combat effectiveness. The 400,000 soldiers and horses in the border town are also a deterrent in terms of numbers, although some of them are really capable of fighting.
The fear is less than 30%. But the Liao people themselves are not having a hard time."
"Your Majesty, what you are saying is that once the Liao people attack the Zhou Dynasty, the Jurchens will take advantage of the situation to attack. They will still use their troops on both sides, and it will be difficult to take care of both sides, right?" Sun Dayong said.
Lin Jue nodded and said: "That's right. The Liao people actually suffered a big loss this time. If Yang Jun hadn't been defeated, they themselves would have collapsed. It can only be said that the Liao country's strength was not exhausted. At the critical moment, Yang Jun was defeated.
After analyzing the Jinfu city, this gave them a chance to make a comeback. But in fact, the Liao people were also seriously injured this time. The Liao soldiers and horses were flanked by the Zhou and Jurchen armies. After several battles, the number of losses was no less than 200,000.
They originally had only 700,000 to 800,000 troops, but now they probably have less than 500,000 troops in the whole country. If they want to attack the Zhou Dynasty, these 500,000 troops will probably have to be mobilized. Wouldn't that give the Jurchens a chance?
The Jurchen cavalry still has a strength of 150,000, and has not suffered any major losses. Wanyan Aguda is an ambitious person, and the combat capability of the Jurchen army is also much higher than that of the Liao people. Therefore, in fact,
They are the biggest worry for the Liao people. If the Liao people want to retaliate militarily, they should first retaliate against the Jurchens. How can Yelu Zongyuan dare to take action against the Zhou Dynasty if this serious worry is not eliminated?"
Everyone was stunned. Shen Tan suddenly said: "But didn't you say before, sir, that the Liao people seem to have sent troops to the border of Zhuozhou with the intention of attacking our Zhou Dynasty. So what do you say?"
Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "I think this is just a gesture. In my judgment, the Liao people will definitely not use troops against the Zhou at this moment. They will probably use an intimidating gesture to make the Zhou court feel the pressure.
.If I were Yelu Zongyuan, I would force the Zhou Dynasty to sever its alliance with the Jurchens at this moment, and at the same time, severely extort money and enter into a temporary reconciliation treaty."
Liang Qi scratched his head and said: "I am confused. Will the Liao people let the Zhou court go? Will the Liao people be so kind?"
