According to information, Shi Hao is a rigorous and conservative person, but is not good at military affairs. Although he is serious and serious in his actions, he is quite a bit of a pretentious attitude towards military affairs.

He selected two generals, one was Wu Gong and the other was Qi Fang.

Coincidentally, they are all old acquaintances.

Not only that, the Second Operation Team also explored the march route and combat targets planned by the Privy Council for the two, as well as the general strength of the Song army for Zhao Yucheng.

Wu Gong's troops can dispatch an army of about 30,000 people, or even a little less, but they are more elite. Wu Gong has some skills in training. Although there are few people, the elite level is not comparable to that of the traitor in Tianshi.

Qi Fang's troops originally had only 20,000 people, but he thought there were fewer people, so he asked the Privy Council for a 20,000 extra quota, which was provided by Quzhou and Xinzhou on the front line, so there were 40,000 people, but only 20,000 people were truly capable.

However, the 20,000 people were mainly recruited by Yang Cunzhong, a veteran general of the Imperial Guard. After the Ming and Song War, Yang Cunzhong conducted intensive training for the 40,000 troops in the Palace Front Division he led. After a period of time, the army of the Palace Front Division had a great improvement and its combat effectiveness was improved.

So it's not easy to deal with.

In short, the Song army that came to attack the peasant army this time had a small number of people, but they were all relatively elite troops. It can be said that they were the most elite troops except the Sichuan and Sichuan Song army. The peasant army needs to be prepared for tough battles.

The following news made Zhao Yucheng a little strange.

Because they had experience in failure in combat before, and the Southern Song Dynasty could not withstand another failure, this time the Southern Song Dynasty made changes, and their Privy Council strengthened its control over the two armies.

The Privy Council conducted a long-distance sand table interpretation of the battle. Then the Privy Councilor Shi Hao asked the two armies to march and fight strictly according to the route planned by the Privy Council, and to achieve the goals according to the established plan. No mistakes shall be made and no freedom shall be allowed to be performed, so as not to miss major events.

This behavior is quite like the feeling of Zhao Guangyi giving formation maps to the generals during the Northern Song Dynasty and strictly ordering the generals to fight according to the formation map.

Is this OK?

On the one hand, Zhao Yucheng thought it was ridiculous to do this, and on the other hand, he felt that the Second Operation Team was really powerful and could even get such confidential military intelligence. Does the Southern Song Dynasty feel a sense of one-way transparency towards the Ming Dynasty?

How many secrets did the Southern Song Dynasty court still have that the Skynet Army did not know?

How many people inside them are spies and agents of the Skynet Army?

How did they win over?

Zhao Yucheng was very interested in this, but this was obviously not a secret that he could inquire, unless the other party took the initiative to tell.

So before the Song army launched an attack, Zhao Yucheng knew the number of troops, the main general and the march route of the Song army, and immediately began to arrange countermeasures.

Because Wu Gong would attack Nanchang directly, Zhao Yucheng decided to lead the troops to fight against Wu Gong. Considering that Wu Gong's army used more ships and navy, and the peasant army did not have a established naval force, so Wu Gong decided to burn his boats.

He ordered that several waterways that could reach Nanchang from Poyang Lake were blocked, and then the ship was sunk to block the river, so that the Southern Song navy could not directly reach the city of Nanchang through the river to carry out a three-dimensional attack.

Then he was prepared to defend Nanchang's city defense. Anyway, Zhao Yucheng did not plan to leave Nanchang. He hoped to build Nanchang into a war fortress, and to stop the Song army from entering too deep into the hinterland of the peasant army.

On Qi Fang's side, Zhao Yucheng admired Xu Tong, a young general who was promoted step by step from the bottom, so he decided to arrange for Xu Tong to face Qi Fang's threat, give him a test and an opportunity to make great contributions.

Xu Tong was not at all nervous and was very happy after receiving the order.

After carefully studying Qi Fang's marching route and scheduled combat goals, considering that the training time of his subordinate troops was not long and lacking in combat, he decided to avoid his edge and not fight head-on. Instead, he used the terrain of Jiangnan West Road to give full play to the advantages of the peasant army and not fight head-on with the Song army.

To this end, they need to give full play to their strengths.

What are their own strengths?

Of course, it is an excellent mass base and extremely high organizational level.

Over the past few months, Zhao Yucheng fully utilized his talents and initially established a dual military and political system of [People's Military and Farmers Association] on the land occupied by the peasant army, established the peasant army's direct leadership over the peasant associations in each village, and simplified the intermediate process.

Due to time limit, the establishment of the Farmers Association was almost half completed, and the remaining half was not yet completed, but it doesn’t matter, just this half is enough.

Before the war, Xu Tong considered the poor military discipline of the Song army, and burning, killing, looting and looting were considered light.

The peasant army can easily retreat, but the rural farmers and urban residents cannot do it, so they cannot leave and give the people to the Song army for nothing.

Therefore, helping the people evacuate is a very important thing.

Xu Tong dispersed many troops of the Second Division in battalions, and one battalion was responsible for organizing the people of two or three townships to retreat south. The soldiers needed to join forces with the cadres of the peasant association to help the people complete the evacuation.

As the saying goes, it is hard to get away from homeland, but the people know very well. They will never get any benefits when the Song army comes. Military disasters are terrible existences that can be compared with floods and droughts, especially after experiencing wars, so they understand all this more.

After a little announcement, there was no need to mobilize, so the people all started to clean up their belongings and retreated south with the peasant army.

The residents of Jinxi County and Nancheng County retreated to the south of Nanfeng County, while the residents of Linchuan County retreated to the direction of Chongren County.

Don’t stay or miss it. As long as people live, they can start everything from scratch.

The peasant army promised everyone that they would definitely return to their hometowns and start a new life, that the land belongs to them, the livestock belongs to them, and the farm tools belong to them, and that they belong to them.

With trust in the peasant army that distributed their land, the peasants began a great escape.

The soldiers of the peasant army army successfully organized the farmers for strategic transfer with the help of the newly established farmer association organization in the local area. Because of the sufficient time, the strategic transfer went very smoothly.

After the people moved away, Xu Tong led his troops to carry out a large-scale operation to clear the fields in this area.

Destroy bridges, take ferries, destroy docks, fill wells, destroy roads, and set traps.

Following the Song army's scheduled march route, Xu Tong did everything he could and then began to assign tasks to the army.

First, he decided to use three brigades of troops to guard Nanfeng County, immediately entered Nanfeng County, transported food and grass, prepared war equipment, strengthened the city walls and moats, etc.

This is the last line of defense that the peasant army can accept. If beyond this line of defense, the safety of the people south of Nanfeng County will be difficult to guarantee.

Next, he decided to place the two brigades' army in Linchuan County as a way to restrain the Song army in a sense and to restrain part of their army.

Next, the troops of two brigades were ordered by Xu Tong to enter the mountains on the east and west sides of Nancheng County to hide their existence.

Their mission was that when Xu Tong completed his mission, he attacked Nancheng County with his two wings, recaptured Nancheng County, locked up Qi Fang's troops who were retreating north, and closed the door and beat dogs.

The officers asked Xu Tong about his mission curiously. Xu Tong smiled and pointed to the direction of Xinzhou on the map.

"Just allow him to come and attack me, not me to attack him? General Zhao did not allow us to attack, for the sake of development, but now the enemy is hitting the nose, and if they don't fight back, what will we develop? So at this time, the principle of not being allowed to fight should be changed."

Xu Tong announced his decision.

Qi Fang is the one who is Qi Fang, and he is Xu Tong who is Xu Tong. How does Qi Fang beat him? He is ready. Then, he will go to attack Qi Fang next.

Who said that the defense will be beaten passively?

I don't care, I'm going to jump out and fuck him behind him!

The specific method is to wait until Qi's side continues to attack Nanfeng County through Nancheng County and when the main force is at a certain distance from Laochao, Xu Tong will lead the army of two brigades to march directly into Xinzhou through the mountainous and hilly route on the east side of Jinxi County, attacking Guixi, and catch him off guard.

Let you hit me!

Do you think I dare not hit you?

Not only did he want to attack Guixi, cut off his food route, destroy his logistics, but he also wanted to destroy the entire Xinzhou, or how far he could fight, so as to shock the Southern Song Dynasty, create a huge momentum, and scare these bastards to death.

Aloof scholars, are you ready to welcome the anger of me, an ant who is not even a human being?

Xu Tong had a calm face, his eyes filled with endless anger and fighting spirit.
