Chapter 1070: Zongwang's Ambition

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The casualty report of the bloody battle of Mutuogang soon came out, and the Song army killed more than 18,000 people, seriously wounded more than 4,300, and suffered countless minor injuries. The Jin army suffered more than 10,000 casualties.

It's about a two-to-one ratio.

Judging from the number, it seems that the Song army was defeated, but in fact, it is not, because according to the population gap between the two sides, even if the Song army is five for one, it can bear it, because the Song army has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses alone, and there are millions of city citizens, and the follow-up ability is too strong, your Jin army will have sixty or seventy thousand horses, and there will be no more after the battle, and when your reinforcements come, it is estimated that you will be exhausted long ago.

This is not to say that the Song people are willing to fall, two for one, you are still complacent, this kind of gap in strength, you can't make up for it perfectly, others have a few horses, you have a few horses, the gap is too big, if you don't lose, you win, and if you repel, you win, and, you must know that since the end of Yan Agu's army, the Jin army has rarely suffered tens of thousands of casualties, which is extremely rare, whether it is for Liao or Song, the Jin army is usually thousands of people and horses, chasing tens of thousands of horses and horses.

This battle is fought like this, it can be said to be a miracle!

From the point of view of strategic significance, it was also the Song army that won the victory, the Jin army did not take the Mu camel gang, this red line, they never crossed half a step, which is not only a victory for the Song army, but also self-confidence, they gradually walked out of the shadow of the Jin army, knowing that this Jin army is not invincible, as long as you hold a determination to die, then you can defeat anyone.

After hearing the news, the residents of Kaifeng were filled with joy and sorrow, and they took the best things in the house, whether it was clothing or food, and spontaneously delivered them to the families of the deceased. Their sons and daughters are good and heroes, and it is because of their bloody battles that we are still standing here.

There are even many people who let their sons go into battle to kill the enemy. Zhao Kai originally wanted to give some subsidies to these family members, but because he was shy in his pocket, he did not have the right to reward them, so he could only issue a notice, which was equivalent to an IOU to these family members, and he also personally went to the homes of the deceased and condoled with them. He understands a truth, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

On that day, if this notice was issued by Song Huizong, the people would definitely think that this mother was bullshit.

But Zhao Kai is different. The people knew of his difficulties, and he was probably the poorest regent in the world. I am already very grateful to him for this IOU.

The Great Song Times is not like the previous one. There is no limit to bragging, but a list of more than 10,000 people was sent, hoping that the people would remember them

Inside the base camp of the Jin Army.

Compared with the happy smiles and relaxed faces of the past few days, the atmosphere is now a little heavy. All the soldiers fell silent.

For Song Jun, not losing is winning, and conversely, for them. If you don't win, you lose, they won't think that their people will die less than the other party, they will only feel that these 10,000 casualties are unacceptable to them.

When they came, they were full of confidence, and when they saw that Li Qi still stationed this army outside the city, it seemed that this Kaifeng City was already a dish in their bowl, and it was within reach. Where do you think, this has been fighting for a long time, and I haven't even seen the gate of Kaifeng, and I can't even take down a Mu camel gang.

What made them even more puzzled was how the Song army, who had always been cowardly and afraid of death, suddenly became so brave, all of them regarded death as home, as well as those spears that could fire and arrows that could explode, no one could figure out what was going on with this qiē.

They no longer dared to despise this forbidden army.

Wanyan Zongwang actually blamed himself in his heart, although he had been cautious enough, but he still looked down on the Song army in his heart, so that he fought in the first battle of Mu Huogang and suffered heavy losses, but as a commander, he couldn't show it, so as not to hurt morale, glanced at the soldiers, and said quite majestically: "Why don't you speak?" We haven't lost yet, do you just give up, if that's the case, you don't deserve to be a good man of my big gold at all, don't forget jì, every war against Liao in the past, we have achieved the final victory in a desperate situation, a defeat is not enough to explain anything, who can have the last laugh, who is the biggest winner. ”

He was right, when they fought with Liao, it was just a little bit of people, and if they lost, they would lose completely, but every time they were able to win more with less, of course, this has a lot to do with Wanyan Agu's leadership ability, and it can be said that it is a last resort.

Wanyan Zongbi got up and said, "Second brother, my brother is willing to lead the army to fight Mu Huogang 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: "Supervising the army, the strength of the Song army is far stronger than we imagined, the other party has already set up an iron bucket formation in Mu Huogang, if you blindly attack Mu Huogang, I am afraid it will be difficult to win, and there will be huge losses." ”

Wanyan Zongwang nodded, he just wanted to inspire these soldiers, of course he knew that it was not advisable to storm Mu Huogang again, and said: "The Song army is superior to ours in that they have fortresses and chariots as defenses, and they can resist our charge, which is the main reason why we lost the first battle of Mu Huogang." And what is superior to the Song army is that our cavalry is far stronger than them, if we forcibly take the Mou Huogang, the horses we get are not enough to compensate for the war horses we have lost, I should try to give full play to our advantages, not to fight with the Song army in positional warfare, we have to run, we have to rush, we have to defeat them on the walk. ”

When the generals heard this, they nodded their heads one after another, and they all felt that it would be really unwise to rush at the opponent's car formation.

Guo Yaoshi has no horses now, and his value has been greatly weakened, but he must show his own savings, he is still valuable, you still have to rely on me after Yan Zongwang, racked his brains to think about it, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "Second prince, the last general has a strategy that can break the enemy's car formation." ”

Wanyan Zongwang hurriedly said, "Hurry up." ”

Guo Yaoshi said: "We can send thousands of people from the Daimyo's Mansion and drive them to the front, the Song army will definitely not be able to do anything in the face of its own people, and we can rush forward and annihilate the enemy." ”

As soon as this remark came out. Many generals looked at each other, and many others nodded in agreement.

However, Wanyan Zongwang was silent, and then looked at Liu Yanzong.

Liu Yanzong asked: "May I ask the prison army, do you want to occupy this place and destroy the Southern Dynasty, or do you just want to grab something and go back?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang nodded with a smile and said, "This plan is simply terrible. ”

Pharmacist Guo was complacent, thinking that his plan was impeccable, and he would definitely be greatly appreciated by Wanyan Zongwang. How do you know, but you got Wanyan Zongwang's ruthless veto, and you can't help but feel surprised, and look at Wanyan Zongwang in surprise.

Wanyan Zong pointed out his hand and said, "Outside are all my Dajin warriors." But most of them are Han Chinese and Khitans, why would they stand here. That's because their country abandoned them. If we use the strategy of driving the people to break the enemy, then in exchange for not victory, nor Kaifeng City, but the hatred of tens of millions of people in the Southern Dynasty, they will resist us even more desperately. This is not only for our army, but even for me Dajin to fall into a land of no return, how many people are in the Southern Dynasty and how many Han people are there. You should know better than I do, are you done killing? Even if we can bring them to their knees with the broadsword in our hands for a while, once they find an opportunity, they will immediately raise troops against us, and we will pay a heavy price for this, and the Southern Dynasty has already taught us a good lesson. Even if I finish killing, then what can I do with this empty city?

You must all remember that we are dealing with the court and the army of the Southern Dynasty, the people of the Southern Dynasty who are armed with weapons, not the helpless people of the Southern Dynasty, because our purpose is to occupy this place, to destroy the Southern Dynasty, to replace it, to rule this region, not just to be a brutal bandit, however, if we want to rule this place, we must make the people who live in this place submit to us, and let them become our people of Dajin. Whoever says anything that is so bad to me will be dealt with by military law. ”

He is different from Wanyan Zonghan, he likes to fight violence with violence, quickly expand his territory, and make contributions, he is more inclined to support the Han people to rule the Han people, reduce the Han people's anti-Jin feelings, slowly disintegrate them from the inside, and then slowly annex the Song Dynasty, because he feels that if you only rely on killing to make the Han people submit, it will backfire and stimulate the struggle of the Han people.

Moreover, this trick may be useful for others, but Wanyan Zongwang knows that for Li Qi, a madman, it may not really work, which will only give him the best reason to encourage the people to resist Jin.

In history, when the Jin army broke through Kaifeng City, Wanyan Zongwang advocated keeping the second emperor of Huiqin, as the puppet of the Jin State to continue to rule the Han people, first let the two ethnic groups integrate, learn the culture of the Han people, and use the culture of the Han people to rule the Han people, however, it was opposed by Wanyan Zonghan and others, and the second emperor of Huiqin must be sent to the north, to be different, and completely destroy the Song Dynasty. It also made the Jin army suffer an unprecedented heavy blow in the Yangtze River basin, and suffered heavy losses, if it weren't for Zhao Gou, the emperor who survived to the limit, and adopted a policy of partial security, he might not be able to hold Kaifeng.

But if the Huairou policy of Wanyan Zongwang had been adopted at that time, the result might have been different.

Although Wanyan Zonghan may be slightly better than Wanyan Zongwang militarily, he is far from Wanyan Zongwang's foresight and strategy, but for the Song Dynasty, it is really sad to have such an opponent.

When Guo Yaoshi saw that his fart slapped on the horse's leg, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and said, "The last general will be guilty." ”

Wanyan Zongwang said: "Those who don't know are not guilty." "Having said that, but in my heart I have already moved to kill Guo Yaoshi, people like you can do this to their own people, can I still expect you to be grateful to me Dajin? Isn't that a big joke?

Pharmacist Guo is really smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and this remark can be regarded as throwing away his life.

Liu Yanzong, as a non-Jurchen person, admired Wanyan Zongwang in his heart, and said: "What the supervisor said is really good, in fact, now we still have the initiative, we can continue to change between the feint attack and the main attack, we can continue to attack the Mou Camel Gang with the main force, but at the same time divide the troops to feint other places, first drag the main force of the Song army in the Mu Camel Gang, if we can defeat the Mu Camel Gang, it would be the best, but if not, we can immediately transfer the main force to attack other places, let the feint attack become the main attack, and the main attack into a feint, After all, our cavalry ran fast, and the Song army could only follow behind our ass, exhausted, and once the Song army moved, they lost their advantage, and we could even annihilate them halfway. ”

Wanyan Zongwang smiled and said, "Yanzong, you really coincide with what I thought!" ”
