Chapter 52 A Heavy Decision
What should an emperor look like? He is pure and has few desires? He is ruthless and unrighteous.
Zhao Huan asked himself that he could not do it, and that he could not watch his subjects be killed and remained indifferent. He would empathize with the orphan and widowed mother lying in the snow. Ruthlessness is the quality that an emperor should have.
Unfortunately, he didn't.
Li Gang received the order to launch the Guangbei attack with all his might, and constantly improving the drawings of the decisive chariot day and night. Zhao Huan finally saw the complete decisive chariot.
After the new transmission design, only one loader, one launcher, and two winchers are required. The firing rate of the bed crossbow has also increased from the loading speed of every five minutes to the speed of every three minutes.
The size has also changed from the size of a bed to the size of a slender desk.
A decisive chariot can be equipped with two desk-sized bed crossbows, and there are only 8 crossbowmen on the car.
A wooden cover was also added with iron sheets on the outside to prevent the crossbowmen from being killed.
Fifty-five sergeants also dropped sharply to thirty.
The first one to use the decisive chariot for the finished victory was not the Zhong family army of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, but the real direct troops of Zhao Huan, who personally followed the official crime army, and the next commander was Yue Fei, Bingyi Lang, appointed by Zhao Huan himself.
"The official, the decisive chariot is completely finalized, and production will begin tomorrow. Is there anything else to ask for?" Li Gang handed the drawings of the decisive chariot to Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan was very satisfied with the chariot, except that he had some names.
He stared at the Bianjing map and stared blankly. This city was as solid as a god, but the war was not known in the Taiyuan City. He had not received any military reports yet.
The Taiyuan City Battle was the core node for the Jin army's southward advance.
In the Jin soldiers' tent, Wanyan Zongwang was also staring at the Bianjing map in a daze. He had to sigh at the Central Plains dynasty's determination to defend the city. The current Bianjing city is as hard to chew like a hedgehog full of thorns.
The resistance of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty exceeded his expectations, and the newly ascended new emperor also exceeded his expectations!
"From now on, I will have no marriages from the Han Dynasty! No alliances from the Tang Dynasty! No annual money received before! No brothers will have the etiquette of fighting against the country! The king dies in the country, the doctor dies in the army, and the soldiers dies in the system! This is how life and life will not stop until death! It is very determined!" Wanyan Zongwang sighed.
Wanyan Ningji, who had high hopes, did not bring him any good news, but instead told him that Yuwen Xuzhong was not a big problem.
What's the problem? Wanyan Zongwang was unprecedentedly confused.
The city of Bianjing has been unable to capture for a long time. It has been more than ten days since Wanyan Ningji and Yuwen Xuzhong returned. Chenzhou Sect, which has been broken once, has been broken several times in the past ten days!
But what can he do? He got nothing except the corpse left in the ground!
What he couldn't stand was that the Western Army of the Song Dynasty kept coming out of the city to attack the Jin army camp for more than ten days. They set fire to the fire or shoot a rain of arrows.
And this frequent harassment made Wanyan Zongwang smell the smell of crisis!
The Song people were not afraid to fight, but brave enough to fight, just like a tiger tentatively attacking, testing the strength of their prey. Once they were sure that their combat power was stronger than the other party, they would rush forward with all their strength.
He felt a crisis! This crisis originated from instinct.
What should I do now?
The soldiers who serve the king in the Song Dynasty are coming one after another.
His army scouts had already contacted the former army of the King of Rescue Army. The Song Dynasty King of Rescue Army, which had weak fighting will and extremely poor equipment, was not difficult to deal with, and many of them were bandits and had no combat experience with the army.
But this is not the reason why he underestimated the King of War.
The larger the number of king-stricken soldiers, the stronger the combat power, gathering millions of people, rushing over, and trampling them to pieces can wipe out the 25,000 elite soldiers.
Bian Jing has a hard bone and cannot be captured for a long time, and there will only be more and more soldiers to support the king. The Han thief army has exhausted the city in the past few days, and the two hundred catapults he carried have also consumed nearly one hundred.
These trenchers were captured from Yanjing Prefecture.
There are also things that make him extremely angry that the number of cloud cars has become extremely rare.
It is already a dream to capture Bianjing.
But he can't leave.
Because once he left, the 60,000 Western Song troops in Bianjing City went directly to Taiyuan, which would directly crush Wanyan Zonghan's army! Even Datong Prefecture could give way to the Song people.
By then, it would be even more difficult for the Jin Kingdom to bite the Song Kingdom with a big mouth.
When he learned that the sixty thousand elite troops of Master Zhong were all in the city, he was also shocked!
The courage of this new emperor is beyond ordinary expectations. If you let the border army enter the city, aren’t you afraid that your head will be chopped off?
He learned from Deng Gui that the new Emperor of the Song Dynasty actually let the border troops enter the city, and he could only admire his courage!
what to do?
Wanyan Zongwang's heart was extremely complicated. When he came to the capital of the Central Plains dynasty, he didn't even fight a decent battle. Like a water mill, the Jin soldiers had lost the opportunity to break through the city.
Now he had no more troops to siege Bianjing, and could only watch Bianjing continue to accept refugees from the north, and he could do nothing.
Only in this way, he would choose to continue to be stationed in the capital of Bianjing. After all, his elite 30,000 people, stationed in the heart of the enemy country, can give him a fatal blow at any time, which is more strategically significant.
However, the Song army had new tricks, and his current army could not reach the 300-step range of Bianjing City, otherwise they would be killed.
The accuracy of the Song Dynasty's bed crossbow has been greatly improved every day, which shocked him extremely!
What exactly caused such a miraculous effect? The previous hit of the bed crossbow was all about God's face-to-face crossbow, and suddenly became accurate!
You should know that before this, the accuracy of the bed crossbow was more than 200 steps, and the hit was very casual.
But now this distance has been further expanded, three hundred steps, and the siege charge is enough for Da Song to carry out two rounds of volleys.
Deng Gui's information shows that the New Emperor of the Song Dynasty seemed to be an inventor. The military weapon surveillance seemed to have refuted new equipment, but could not get more information because every day, a convoy was sent to the imperial city, covered with a huge black canvas. The details were not clear at all.
Deng Gui said that all the information lines of palace maids buried in the imperial city were broken. Under the vigorous rectification of the previous commander Shen Cong, the current palace is already more tighter than before.
What was under the black canvas? He didn't want to test it.
The Central Plains Dynasty was the first to equip stirrups, bows and crossbows and iron tools during the Qin and Han dynasties, forming an absolute suppression of the Huns and then destroying them.
The Tang Empire was the first to be equipped with cavalry by Emperor Shizong of the Tang Empire, and the Xuan Armor Army was the best in the world!
Eight hundred cavalrymen attacked the 100,000 army, and it happened repeatedly, and nearly 10,000 people destroyed the 100,000 Turkic troops, making them famous all over the world.
Regarding military tactical things, he asked himself that the northern nations are not worse than the Central Plains dynasty, but what the northern nations that have been exterminated many times lack is equipment and combat systems.
He hesitated for a long time and sighed at the dark city walls of Bianjing. He knew that this place was no longer a place to stay for a long time.
He decided to retreat to Daming Mansion overnight, then turn to Xingzhou, then enter Taihang Mountains from Xingzhou, pass Maling Pass, and enter Taiyuan Mansion.
Join the decisive battle against Taiyuan Prefecture. If Taiyuan City wins greatly, the two armies and the Jin soldiers in one place will advance to Bianjing again.
The Song Dynasty, which had only 60,000 elite troops, could not stop the Jin soldiers at all, and the outcome could be decided in one battle.
It can even destroy the Song State!
If the Jin soldiers fail to win a great victory in Taiyuan City and retreat to Datong Prefecture, they can protect the Datong Basin, which is of great significance to the Jin Dynasty.
The most critical thing is that he does not want to use his army to do any experiments. Wanyan Zongwang's army, which is his direct troops. If he loses these troops, he will lose all his voice in the Jin Dynasty.
By then, his enemies will definitely open their bloody mouths and eat him completely!
He can't afford to try.
"Xi Yin, send the order to wrap the horse's hooves tonight, withdraw back to the north bank of the Yellow River, and then head straight to Daming Mansion." Wanyan Zongwang made this decision very heavy.
If you cannot enter the mountain in Xingzhou, enter Taihang Mountains, go deep into Hedong Road, and cannot rush to Taiyuan, you must take a detour.
Returning to Yanjing, passing Juyongguan, turning around and entering Yunzhou, then going to Datong Prefecture, and then heading to Taiyuan. It takes about four months to detour this journey.
It only takes one month to march from Xingzhou to enter the Taihang Mountains and support Taiyuan! The war is so fast! There are only two ways to enter the mountain, and the speed is slower, so he might as well go directly from Shanhaiguan to Liaodong.
He had great ambitions. At the moment he broke through the Chenzhou Sect, he had already seen the hope of destroying his country.
However, when the Song army and civilians behind him drove the Jin soldiers out of the city gate with blood, he already knew that he did not have the ability to break through Bian Jing independently and stayed here forever, completely trying to try the impossible possibility.
But it seemed that God did not favor him, but the Song army became stronger and stronger.
Wanyan Xiyin had known this result for a long time. Perhaps he was more sober than Wanyan Zongwang. At the moment when the Han thief army was driven away by the Western Army of the Song Dynasty with strong tincture oil, he knew that this time he would return without success.
When the camp attacked the camp, there were only dead soldiers in the Jin army camp. The Song Dynasty, which implemented the camp attack plan so accurately, was not the Song Dynasty that he had previously believed that the court was not strong enough to be in power.
But he couldn't persuade Wanyan Zongwang because Wanyan Zongwang's ambition was already written on his face.
"I'll go and spread the various departments now. There's no need to leave quietly. The Song army lacks a horse army and cannot chase and kill, so it's completely fine." In the military camp, he would completely obey Wanyan Zongwang's orders instead of being self-righteous.
"I have my own plan." Wanyan Zongwang replied.
...
Zhao Huan was awakened by Zhao Ying!
He rubbed his slightly hazy eyes and heard the news that Wanyan Wanyan Zongwang had left the camp quietly, and was stunned.
Now that's the move? No more rounds of moves?
Zhao Huan is not addicted to abuse, and the sergeant who has never seen blood is not a soldier at all. It is better to have a family army, but the imperial guards on the city are a lot worse!
In the past ten days, the Han thief army continued to attack Chenzhou Gate. The imperial guards guarding the city were constantly honing themselves in the battle formation, and finally had a bit of the meaning of being a soldier.
Moreover, many night attacks have also played a certain role in training.
Are you leaving now?
"Xuanzhong Master Dao! Li Gang! Chen Cong! Yue Fei came over! Chasing him overnight! He ordered Zong Ze! The entire army followed and occupied the important road to Daming Mansion! Hit the other party along the way."
"We must not let Wanyan Zongwang's troops arrive in Xingzhou first! Go to Taiyuan to support!"
Zhao Huan finally waited for this day!
Chapter completed!
