Chapter 1060 The deployment of the troops of the Golden Kingdom
Chapter 1060 The deployment of troops in the Kingdom of Jin
When Wanyan Zonghan saw that more than 100,000 soldiers and horses had been accumulated in Linhuang Mansion in Liao Shangjing, his brows instantly furrowed even more.
Originally, he thought that he could use 100,000 soldiers and horses, and with the side support of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Song army, he could capture Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, Liao Dynasty.
However, it was only after he discussed with Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zongbi that he realized that if he really led an army of 100,000 to attack Linhuang Mansion this time, it would really not be appropriate.
First, it was because this approach was completely contrary to the combat strategy that they had originally discussed.
Because the Dajin Kingdom was only established for a short period of time, the total number of soldiers in their country is only about 250,000.
And what about the Daliao Kingdom?
If the troops and horses from all over the country were added together, according to the conservative estimates of Wanyan Zongwang and others, there would be 700,000 to 800,000 soldiers.
If the Great Jin Kingdom cannot capture more cities in the Liao Kingdom in the shortest possible time, then when the Liao Kingdom recovers from the war, it will inevitably gather heavy troops to give the Great Jin Kingdom a fatal blow.
Hit.
Therefore, the original plan of Wanyan Zonghan and others was to only deploy 100,000 troops during the initial battle.
And these 100,000 soldiers and horses should also be divided into two batches to fight in turns.
First, the first batch of 50,000 soldiers and horses combined with the Song Dynasty army to capture Linhuang Mansion in Liao Shangjing, which originally had only more than 50,000 defenders.
After Linhuang Mansion was captured, this batch of Dajin sergeants rested first, and then ordered the second batch of 50,000 soldiers and horses to join forces with the Song Dynasty army to capture Dading Mansion in Zhongjing.
After the Dading Prefecture in Zhongjing is captured, the first batch of soldiers and horses will join forces with the Song Dynasty army to directly capture Datong Prefecture in Xijing.
This goes on and on.
In several battles, the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty combined, and they would surely capture a large number of Liao soldiers.
When the time comes, those Daliao sergeants will be dispersed and incorporated into the two batches of Dajin sergeants one after another, and the conquest will continue like that.
After these two batches of 100,000 soldiers and horses could no longer withstand it, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were sent from the territory of the Kingdom of Jin to supplement the combat troops.
And during the whole process, the Jin Kingdom will surely be able to plunder more people and resources from the land of the Liao Kingdom.
By then, even if the joint military plan between the Jin Kingdom and the Song Dynasty fails to destroy the entire Liao Kingdom, they can still accumulate extremely rich wealth in this war within a few months, which can be used as
Capital to fight again in the future.
As for the plan of Wanyan Zonghan and his three men, why the 150,000 reserve troops in the Jin Army camp were not activated until the end.
Its intention is also quite obvious.
That is, it is used to prevent surrounding countries, such as Xixia, Goryeo, Japan and other countries, from taking advantage of the lack of national power of the Jin Dynasty to come and attack in a roundabout way.
Although the national strength of the above-mentioned countries is relatively weaker than that of the Great Jin Kingdom.
But for so many years, they have always coveted their Kingdom of Jin and the slightly distant Song Dynasty.
Therefore, the defense forces of those countries are also indispensable.
That's why Wanyan Zonghan and the others, after repeated discussions, temporarily left a reserve army of 150,000 in the Kingdom of Jin to prepare for dispatch at any time to deal with unforeseen needs and any other situations that may arise.
Although this strategy seemed good, it became quite powerless after learning that the Song army only brought thousands of soldiers and horses this time.
But now, the Liao Kingdom suddenly gathered more than 100,000 soldiers and horses at Linhuang Mansion in Beijing.
This made the previous plans of Wanyan Zonghan and others completely difficult.
With less than 60,000 troops and horses, attacking a fortified city with more than 100,000 troops stationed there, almost any general who has led troops in battle can guess the outcome.
After all, since ancient times, if the siege team wants to successfully take the city, it must have more soldiers than the defenders.
At least, it must be more than twice the number of soldiers defending the city.
And now?
The total number of troops and horses that the Jin and Song countries could mobilize this time was less than 60,000.
At this moment, if we suddenly attack Linhuang Mansion in Daliao Jian City, whose total military strength has suddenly increased from only 50,000 to more than 100,000...
You can imagine how difficult it is.
But even so, the senior officials of Dajin still wanted to give it a try.
After all, at this moment, Daliao Kingdom was already well prepared for defense.
If the Great Jin Kingdom continues to hesitate, not only will it be disadvantageous for the fighter, but it may also attract all the attention of the Great Liao Kingdom.
At that time, once the senior officials of the Daliao Kingdom make up their minds to capture the Jin army and fight to the death...
At that point, it’s hard to tell what the outcome will be.
Moreover, the senior officials of the Great Jin Kingdom can also use this battle to further test the combat strength and combat will of the soldiers and generals of the Great Liao Kingdom.
This will be extremely beneficial for many wars after this.
It was precisely because of the above considerations that the senior officials of the Jin Kingdom made up their minds to use a total of less than 60,000 troops to surprise Linhuang Mansion, which had more than 100,000 troops stationed there.
The specific date of the battle was set at midnight three days later.
When Wu Zhi received the final instructions from Wanyan Zonghan and others, he showed surprising obedience.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the reply was sent back.
At the same time, he was also brewing an extremely bizarre plan in his mind.
In the next three days, all the soldiers under Wu Zhi trained diligently during the day and rested on time at night, just to refresh themselves and wait for the big battle three days later.
As for the Jin Army, it was almost the same as the state presented by Wu Zhi's troops.
…
During this period of time, Li Jun, Li Kui and others also led several brothers to the territory governed by Shuibo Liangshan.
The place where their group arrived first was the Liangshan East Road Hotel under the control of Dryland Khulu Zhugui.
Prior to this, Mu Hong, who was not blocked, Mu Chun, who was not blocked, and Mu Chun, who was little blocked, had written letters to Hun Jianglong Li Jun, including their contact information for a safe trip up the mountain.
So at this time, Li Jun and others acted very directly. They immediately called the manager of the hotel and told him to find the person in charge of the hotel.
When Zhugui, who was in the dry land, hurried to the East Road Hotel, he caught sight of Li Kui, Li Jun and others sitting in the center of the hotel.
I think Zhu Gui has been running this hotel for several years.
He has seen and befriended countless good men in his daily life.
At this time, one look at the heroic figures and sinister faces of Li Jun, Li Kui and others, and one can already tell that these people are by no means ordinary people.
