The number of soldiers was always limited. The Jin army claimed that it was 400,000 troops to move south, but it was not easy to pull out 160,000 soldiers that were truly available.

The remaining soldiers either encircled and suppressed the remnants of the Khitan rebels in Liaodong, or responded to the dual threats of the Southern Song and Western Xia in Guanzhong, and were unable to move and could not support the front line.

What Wanyan Liang can take out is already everything at present.

In the current situation, Wanyan Liang does not have the time and sufficient reserves to conquer all the cities one by one, and it is impossible to use his limited elite to surround so many cities, but he has to send troops to surround those unbreakable cities.

So the only possible situation is to use a military uniform to pretend to behave. At worst, it can be matched with some elite foxes and tiger power, which looks like a large army besieging the city, making the defenders in the city dare not act rashly.

However, without the main force of the Jin army, would the Restoration Army in the city really not be able to deal with the Jin army outside the city with the power of foxes and tigers?

Wouldn't they find clues and rush out and tear the appearance of the Jin army's strength?

Once a city breaks through the siege, the Jin army's logistics will be in danger. If all cities break through the siege, Wanyan Liang's main force going south will face a death challenge.

In this case, he still chose to go south.

So, Su Yonglin was sure, Wanyan Liang...

A gambling monster!

Is he betting on the country's fate?

Put everything in one war, and make such a bold move, ignore military common sense, and go south to find the main force of the Restoration Army. Is this guy really okay with his head?

The staff members looked at me, and I looked at you, and they were shocked by Wanyan Liang's boldness.

Su Yonglin is not incomprehensible about this.

"According to Yelu Yuanyi, Wanyan Liang's situation is very bad at this moment. He has to fight this battle, he has to fight, he has to win, and he has to win. If he loses, he will die without a burial place, and he actually has no way out."

Su Yonglin slowly told the staff members the current political situation in the Jin Dynasty that Yelu Yuanyi told him, and explained Wanyan Liang's dangerous situation clearly so that these staff members could know the reasons and psychological factors of Wanyan Liang doing this.

Finally, Su Yonglin made a summary and took the opportunity to give the staff a political lesson.

"Considering an enemy's behavior, we should not only look at his military actions, but also not forget to consider his political situation. Why did Yue Fei die? He did not die because of military issues, but because of political factors, Yue Fei had to die.

When everyone wants to negotiate peace, but only he chooses to fight, all his behaviors are wrong. This situation is called political incorrect. For the emperor, this is a great taboo. Yue Fei's death was a collective conspiracy of the entire Southern Song court.

But if this person who is politically incorrect is the emperor and he himself represents political correctness, then the problem will become simple, and political correctness and incorrectness are contradictory, and it depends on who has a harder fist."

Su Yonglin raised his fist: "Wanyan Liang beat us and proves that his fist is hard, then all his incorrect behaviors will become correct. If he loses, even if his correct behaviors will become incorrect. This is called zero-sum game, winners take all, losers have nothing."

The staff members fell into deep thoughts, thinking about what Su Yonglin said.

After a while, Xin Qiji nodded slowly.

"So, Wanyan Liang is betting that he can win this battle, and then with the power of great victory, calm all dissatisfaction with him, prove his strength, and he can hold the throne firmly. If he loses, he will not even have a chance to admit his mistake, and he will definitely die without a place to bury him."

"Yes! That's it."

Su Yonglin nodded: "We don't need to worry about whether this is a conspiracy. Wanyan Liang no longer has the qualifications and spare energy to use conspiracy. He must be very anxious, angry and nervous now. He will definitely make many stupid decisions that we can't imagine.

And as long as we seize every opportunity to constantly weaken him, make him tired, and make him weak, the huge advantage of the 80,000 cavalry turns into nothingness and becomes his burden, our army will definitely win the final victory!"

"victory!"

The staff members were aroused to victory, and each of them had an expression of excitement on their faces.

They stand at the crossroads of history, and they are engaged in a historic game where few people can succeed.

Whether they can escape from the situation of the "thief army" and complete a gorgeous reversal and become a regular army representing orthodoxy depends on the outcome of the war.

By winning this war, they could push the Jin Kingdom back, attack Yanyun in one go, recapture Yanyun and the Great Wall, and drive the Jin people back to their hometown.

But even at this point, the Jin army still had a huge advantage. Wanyan Liang still held a trump card that could turn the world around - a huge number of cavalry.

On the field battlefield, this is a strategic force that is difficult to destroy.

In mid-to-late December, Wanyan Yiying rushed from Zhending City to Hengshui, met Wanyan Liang, and handed over the cavalry in his hand to Wanyan Liang, allowing Wanyan Liang to master a large number of terrifying cavalry.

However, this did not make Wanyan Liang very excited.

His Jing'an strategy operation failed. The Jing'an defenders showed great courage in the face of Wanyan Liang's fierce siege on all sides. They repeatedly defeated Wanyan Liang's attack and held on for more than ten days, but they did not allow Wanyan Liang to gain a slight advantage.

In the end, Wanyan Liang was forced to have no choice because the infantry was not strong enough to rotate the siege, so he could only let the cavalry dismount and turn to infantry to participate in the siege battle to facilitate his rotation siege tactics.

Of course, it was not successful in the end. Instead, it also lost the lives of more than a thousand soldiers, causing a larger number of wounded soldiers.

Faced with huge losses, unanimous opposition from the ministers, and his own anxiety, Wanyan Liang had to give up the Jing'an strategy, leaving an army of 5,000 people to surround Jing'an City, and then led his troops south to Hengshui.

But he still held his breath in his heart. He wanted to fight. Seeing Hengshui City's scale was even worse than Jing'an City, Wanyan Liang was moved again.

He wanted to exasperate his anger, but he didn't believe that he could not even defeat a city.

So, despite Wanyan Fengji and Heshi Lie Liangbi's dissuasion, Wanyan Liang ordered the army to attack Hengshui County again.

In fact, according to the opinions of the ministers, you are ready to go south to fight Su Yonglin's main force, so you can implement the tactics to the end, and you want to attack the city and go south again. Do you want to go south or attack the city?

Is siege that simple thing?

The Jin army's spirit continued to weaken in the repeated failures of siege, so that when it came to Hengshui City, its morale was very low.

The promise of the three-day plunder after conquering the battle could no longer arouse morale because they had never succeeded. Wanyan Liang could only rely on rewards and extra meals to increase morale, but this would greatly increase the cost and make logistics more difficult.

Heshi Lie Liangbi repeatedly persuaded Wanyan Liang to pay attention to the losses of the Jin army, especially the army carried a large number of horses, which were astronomical.

If you want to go south, hurry up, fight as soon as possible. Don’t continue to mess with the army and logistics personnel. Everyone is already in a position to explode, and they want to kill you!

But Wanyan Liang always goes in and out of the left ear.

Always like this, He Shilie Liangbi felt ashamed. He didn't want to say anything anymore. Wanyan Liang could do whatever he wanted. He was tired.

So Wanyan Liang personally directed the army to attack Hengshui City, saying that he would give the Liberation Army a little color and let the Liberation Army understand his power.

But will the Restoration Army care about his intimidation?

The Hengshui Guardian Zhong Xuemin was a regiment commander of the Tianxiong Army, leading two thousand regular troops to defend Hengshui City.

Facing the attack of the Jin army's siege, he relied on Hengshui instructor Mo Liang to mobilize 13,000 militias to assist in defense, fought with the Jin army for five days and nights, and directly killed more than 800 Jin soldiers, successfully blocking the enemy several times, making it impossible for the Jin army to attack the city wall.

Amid the roar of Thunder Cannons and Rockets, Wanyan Liang was really out of patience.

Just then, Wanyan Yiying led his troops to arrive. Wanyan Bingji took the opportunity to persuade him to go south. He didn't care about how embarrassed he was, so he went down the slope and led his army to continue south.
