Chapter 689: Troubled Dynasty

"This, how is this good?"

Zhao Huan lamented pitifully.

His army of King Qin was all gone, or his younger brother was left.

The Western Army is gone.

After the defeat of Fan Zhixu's army, except for Liu Guangshi, who actually broke into Henan with 3,000 cavalry in a melee because of his transfer skills, and still does not know the specific location, the remnants of the other armies have all withdrawn one after another, and Li Yanxian told Zhao Huan an inside story that he didn't know before, that is, Fan Zhixu's so-called 200,000 actual army of 100,000 is actually a vast majority of temporary workers, firstly, the first time the king of the division made a large number of elites of the Western Army die on the battlefield, and secondly, the commanders of all the Western Army have to leave the elites to prepare to defend their hometowns, so... …

So they hired a large number of temporary workers to fool the emperor.

Liu Guangshi is really elite, mainly because his father and brother are here!

But most of the other commanders retain their strength.

Of course, this is also human nature, after all, they were injured the first time, and the second time they will definitely have to play tricks, and the Jin soldiers have already laid down the Pingyang soldiers in the Yellow River, just waiting for the triumph of the sticky Han side and then the Taishan pressure straight down to Jingzhao, this situation Shaanxi marshals still have to take care of their hometown after all.

The Hebei Army is also gone.

It is indeed the best choice to control Hebei with Zongze.

But......

Zong Ze has to be able to control it!

He is a former Zhici Prefecture, how can he order those places that have almost completely escaped the control of the imperial court and are closed to defend themselves? What's more, the whole of Hebei has been completely chaotic, local officials, heroes, bandits, routs, traitors who surrendered to the Jin Army, the whole is just like the guerrilla area during the Anti-Japanese War, and Zong Ze obviously does not have the level of the Eighth Route Army to quickly clean up this mess, and then he has to go south to Qinwang to relieve the siege of Bianliang. After the main force of the Song army was taken away by Zhao Gou, he was actually a group of rabble, to put it bluntly, according to the standards of the imperial court in the past, they were all thieves and patchwork, at least in Li Yanxian's opinion, it was really a group of rabble, and there was originally a Chen Qu who withdrew from Zhending, but Chen Qu was also transferred by Zhao Gou as a generalissimo before.

Even local officials in Hebei who were loyal to the Song Dynasty did not necessarily listen to him.

For example, Du Chong.

At this time, Du Chong, who originally picked up the Yellow River in history, was Zhicang Prefecture, and his qualifications were no worse than Zong Ze, in fact, although Zong Ze was old, his seniority in the officialdom was not high, and his previous Zhicizhou was already the highest official position, and the official when he went to Hebei was only Zong Zheng Shaoqing, a useless from Wupin, at this time, it was indeed a little too difficult for him to integrate the entire Hebei under such conditions.

In short, the only thing he can guarantee is faithfulness.

It is simply unrealistic to expect him to be able to truly solve the siege of Bianliang.

Not to mention the southern front.

Li Yanxian actually came from Luoyang, he put forward a good opinion when Fan Zhixu sent troops, but was kicked by Fan Zhixu to the stone trench, that is, the checkpoint in front of Mt. Kuo as a guard, originally in history he waited in this position to attack the Jin army in Guanzhong, but now the main force of the Jin army is still in Bianliang, on a small number of Jin troops and a group of surrendered traitor army in the battle with Sun Zhaoyuan for Luoyang. So he took a group of subordinates to find Sun Zhaoyuan, and it happened that Sun Zhaoyuan got a new position as the head of the West Road, so he selected some elites for him, and then gathered a cavalry of 1,200 people to rush to Bianliang, and as a result, another 400 were killed outside the city. And before he came, Sun Zhaoyuan had already received Wang Xiang's text, and the latter had already taken a boat to find Zhao Gou with the 30,000 Song troops under his command, and with the speed at which they were going downstream, it was almost impossible for Li Gang to intercept them before they crossed Jiangzhou, so there was little hope for Zhao Huan's planned back road.

And once Wang Xiang's subordinates were obtained, Zhao Gou's subordinates would include almost all the Great Song forbidden troops east of Hangu Pass and Bianliang.

It's scary.

Actually, at the moment......

Including the original history, during the Battle of Bianliang, Hebei, Jingdong, and Jingxi, the military officials in charge of military power behaved very strangely, they were not interested in saving Bianliang, but when Zhao Gou's order to meet the troops was issued, they all ran to Zhao Jiumei's side as fast as possible. Whether they are afraid of the Jin soldiers, or what other careful thinking they have, their performance is to sit back and watch the Jin army besiege their emperor and the Taishang Emperor, and then support the new emperor as quickly as possible, as for whether they intend to feed the Jin soldiers with the fat of the great painter father and son, satisfy these invaders with the wealth of Bianliang, exchange those poor women for the pleasure of the Jin soldiers, and then go home with enough food and drink to give them a chance to survive, this is really unknown.

But with Du Chong's decisiveness in picking up the Yellow River, the discipline of the princes of Gon really cannot be overestimated.

It's not like they won't use the emperor as cannon fodder.

"National teacher."

Zhao Huan looked at Yang Feng with expectant eyes.

"Don't worry about the official family, there is an old man here! No one is afraid of King Qin, is this Bianliang 100,000 army hundreds of thousands of strong men, mountains of armor and weapons still afraid of the 100,000 gold soldiers? Before, it was nothing more than a lack of training, if it was handed over to the old man, he would give the official family a tiger master in three months. ”

Yang Feng said proudly.

"What do you mean?"

Uncle Zhang asked suspiciously.

"It's very simple, first reorganize the armies, the current number of soldiers in the city is about 80,000, and then recruit 20,000 to make 100,000, and then divide into five armies, each army is divided into five brigades, each brigade is divided into five battalions, four battalions of soldiers and one battalion of auxiliaries, with pikemen as a battalion, two spears, and sword and brand soldiers as a battalion, but not knives, but short-handled axes, and these two battalions are all heavily armoured. A battalion of archers with axes and guns to counterattack after the battle, a battalion of archers, no need to participate in hand-to-hand combat, after the battle, the rear of the formation must be guaranteed to be at most two feet away from the enemy, and then aim at the enemy's face to shoot, each brigade is a formation, and each army is a large phalanx. Handed over to the old minister to preside over the training, be sure to make it immobile like a mountain, three months later out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, and Li Xiaozhong was responsible for integrating all the cavalry in the city into an army, and the old minister also presided over the training. ”

Yang Feng said.

Since Jin Wushu said that the most headache for the Song army is the divine arm bow and the battle axe, then simply use these two as the mainstay, anyway, don't think about the Mo knife hand with the current level of the Song army soldiers, but it is very suitable to give those god arm archers with additional Swiss axe guns, once the two sides are in close hand-to-hand combat, the rate of fire of the god arm bow is boring, and the Tang Dynasty bow crossbowmen are part-time Mo knife hands, so let them carry axes and guns to join hand-to-hand combat.

The pikemen form a defensive line with a six-meter spear and a knife player with a short-handled axe as their main weapon.

A six-meter spear is a must.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army drove the Mongols all the way to the fishing sea, in addition to a large number of cavalry, there is also an infantry spear array, the cheapest and most effective weapon for infantry to resist cavalry is this, the East and the West can be said to be the same way, and finally it is a spear array.

The European spear formation became famous because no one had studied the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty at all.

It is said that in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, there were giant spears more than three zhang long! It takes three soldiers to support this thing to scare the cavalry, and the ten-meter spear on the opposite side is obliquely erected, how can this make the cavalry impact? It's just that it's too cumbersome, so the level of five or six meters has become the mainstream, if you think that the war in the Ming Dynasty is a TV series with a small flower gun, it is pure nonsense. Similarly, Yang Feng also had to set up the spear formation of the Ming army against the Mongolian cavalry first, and then equipped with divine arm archers and Swiss axe guns, and the last layer was the five-step Yan shooting of wild boar skin, the tactics of wild boar skin heavy infantry used to run rampant on the battlefield, and the archers behind the shield car shot in the face at a distance that could almost stab each other with spears.

This is how the Ming army was shot and collapsed.

This is also a combination of ancient and modern futures, plus a combination of Chinese and Western.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

In fact, as long as the current training system of the Song army does not run, it can still carry the Jin army, what the Song army lacks is courage and will, not to mention these iron cans wearing seventy pounds of foot armor on the battlefield in the era of cold weapons, it is a group of peasant soldiers who carry long contradictory cards as long as they do not run to carry the cavalry, even if they pull the volunteers to the battlefield of the Ming Dynasty and then replace them with cold weapons, they can also abuse the Eight Banners.

In this era, it is the will.

It's courage to fight.

It is a fierce fight to the end.

So Ah Guta took all the 20,000 Jurchen soldiers to meet the 700,000 Liao army, and then he actually won! Although 700,000 must have a lot of water, but Emperor Tianzuo also poured out the country to drive the expedition, so there are always two or three hundred thousand, and there will be no suspense if the Liao army is ten times that of the Jin army in the battle of Hubu Dagang, and it is also a large country with a population of 10 million.

Then Ah Gu fought a battle to achieve hegemony.

Therefore, the most important thing in training the Song army is to discipline them, so that they can reach the level of the Yue family's army, so that it is enough to go out and fight back.

Of course, it is enough to let Zhao Huan know that he can defeat his younger brother, this is the most important, for Zhao Huan at this moment, Jin Bing is no longer the biggest threat, his younger brother who can be said to be more than half of the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty is the most terrifying, these days he often opens the Zizhi Tongjian left by Sima Guang, His Majesty has Shao Ling, the minister has Zhongli, disloyal and unfilial, how can the thief be peaceful? This sentence turns in his head every day! Xiao Yi can happily watch his father being played to death by Hou Jing, so of course Zhao Gou can also happily watch him being killed by Jin Bing, there is no family affection in the battle for the throne, and there is no family affection between the two of them, what kind of family affection can the son of the eldest wife and the son of the younger wife have.

What's more, his father is still eyeing him behind!

This Jin Jun didn't kill him, but his father and his younger brother were sharpening their knives in the back! Although there are still national teachers and Liujia divine soldiers, his younger brother and Wang Xiang's department have at least 100,000 troops......

"Everything depends on the national teacher!"

Zhao Huan almost gritted his teeth and said.

"The officials, as well as the ordnance made by the Ministry of Industry, are many of them are shoddy, and the old minister asks to supervise the ordnance manufacturing of the Ministry of Industry."

Yang Feng said.

"There is a national teacher!"

Zhao Huan nodded.

"Also, the rewards and punishments of the Ministry of War are too chaotic, and the situation is urgent at this time, so please temporarily bypass the Ministry of War and formulate a separate set of military salaries and rewards and punishments."

Yang Feng said.

"Accurate!"

"In addition, the old minister, please supervise the warehouses of the household department!"

"Accurate!"
