Chapter 306 confrontation across the river
On September 13th, Wanyan Loushi went south to guide Chang'an, which was actually a smokescreen. With the destruction of Chang'an City and the decline of the Song army, there was no need for the Shaanxi governor to take action personally. Just send a general and a partial army to do so.
Take it lightly.
Wanyan Loushi personally led his troops to fight to give people the illusion of the Jin army in Hezhong Prefecture's full-scale attack, but in fact, the troops he led were only Ba Meng'an.
When Wanyan Loushi attacked Jingzhao with a high profile and attracted the attention of Housing and Jianshe Yanchao and Tianshu City as the commander, his two generals, Tu Nian and A Tu Han, led about 8,000 people from Hejin, each leading about 8,000 people from Hejin
Flying across the Yellow River. With two thousand cavalry as the vanguard, led by Tu Nian, he rushed to Weisheng Army for 500 miles. When he learned that the Tianzhu Army's defense in Tuanbai was still tight and impeccable, he turned to attack
Liaozhou.
Due to the sudden appearance of the Jin army, part of the Fourth Mixed Brigade stationed in Yushe City, which was stationed in the front line in the south of Liaozhou, was severely damaged. More than 400 people in a Mixed Battalion were killed or injured. But at this time,
You can see the training results of Taiyuan Military Academy - this broken new recruit camp did not escape, but retreated to the ancient Ji thirty miles southeast of Yushe City under the leadership of the non-commissioned officers from various capitals.
The city uses the remaining defensive facilities of the ancient city to deal with the enemy until night, and gains precious breathing time.
The next day, the brigade commander He Yuanqing, who received the news, led all the guards and cavalrymen to come quickly from Liaozhou City to help. At the foot of Shizuling Mountain more than ten miles away from Yushe, he encountered a team of guard cavalry teams of Jin army.
He Yuanqing, who can be called the "desperate man" in the Tianzhu Army, took the sword without saying a word. The hundred cavalry guards behind him were a hawk-mouth gun in his left hand and a crossbow in his right hand. He opened his bow from left to right, and once he met, he would turn the vanguard of the Jin army.
The elite cavalry team killed more than half.
Such a fierce general and cavalry had never encountered this golden cavalry before; and such a fierce close-range shooting caught the golden cavalry off guard.
It has to be said that the terrain of the valley helped the Tianzhu Army a lot of help - because of the winding mountain roads, the vision was blocked. Either it was separated by heavy mountains and did not know each other. Once it was suddenly encountered, the distance between the two sides was within 30 or 50 steps.
After such a sudden encounter at such a close distance, the power of the Jin cavalry's long-range shooting could not be exerted at all. Just as the arc formation that was most conducive to shooting was launched, he took off his cavalry bow, drew his bow and raised his head quickly - the opponent had already rushed in front of him...
Thirty steps away, the Jin cavalry can knock down half of the guards and cavalry teams; but within thirty steps, the guards and cavalry teams can completely abuse the Jin cavalry. The nature of the weapons of both sides determines the difference in distances, and the killing effect of each other is completely
different.
Liaozhou belongs to the Taihang Mountains, and is a mountainous area with mountains and rivers. Such a terrain is most suitable for medium and short-distance weapons, which is not conducive to cavalry and shooting. The cavalry team of the Jin army's vanguard army was annihilated, which fully demonstrates that
at this point.
He Yuanqing counterattacked, and the enemy's power was slightly weakened, and the siege of Jicheng was greatly weakened. By night, all the infantry of the Fourth Mixed Brigade arrived. Since Yushe was mostly mountainous terrain, it was not conducive to cavalry combat. Suddenly, it was impossible to exert the advantages of the cavalry.
He had to withdraw from Yushe City and station troops on the west bank of Zhuozhang River, waiting for the subsequent infantry to arrive before attacking.
Yushe City changed hands twice in one day and night, but eventually returned to the hands of the Tianzhu Army.
On September 24, Liaozhou entered full alert. The Five Horse Brigade held troops in Huangzezhai, southeast of the southeast, to guard against the enemy in Cizhou. Zhang Rui also led the cavalry regiment and the musket battalion to withdraw from Wu'an. Two days later, he met with the brigade commander He Yuanqing.
Yushe City. At this point, more than 3,500 officers and soldiers of the Fourth Mixed Brigade gathered together.
On September 27th, the Fourth Mixed Brigade, except for leaving a Mixed Brigade to defend the city, the entire Brigade set out and marched to the east bank of Zhuozhang River to set up camps.
The terrain of Yushe is surrounded by mountains and hills in the middle. There are only two banks of Zhuozhang River, and there is a narrow plain area.
Although the Jin cavalry is not conducive to mountain combat, the same is true for the mixed brigade. The advantage of the mixed brigade is that the vehicle formation annihilates the enemy, and defending the city cannot reflect this advantage at all. The mountain terrain cannot set up the vehicle formation, and the combat effectiveness of the hybrid brigade cannot be exerted.
. Therefore, the plain on both sides of the Zhuozhang River was targeted by both the enemy and us at the same time.
So, the Jin army held troops on the west bank and the Tianzhu army camped on the east bank. There was only a turbid Zhang River that was only twenty feet wide across the middle, staring at each other and confronting each other across the river.
On September 28, the Jin general Atuhan led eight Meng'an infantry and appeared on the west bank of Zhuozhang River. The Jin army's ten Meng'an and eight thousand troops (the number of Jin army's men was large and insufficient) gathered together.
On the same day, Di Lie, the leader of the Tianzhu Army, Ling Yuan, deputy chief of staff of the First Field Army, and Zhao Neng, commander of the 7th Mixed Brigade, led more than 2,000 people from the Seventh Mixed Brigade who were interrupting the task of rushing to collect the task, and also appeared on the east coast of Zhuozhang River.
The reason why the Seventh Mixed Brigade only has more than 2,000 people is because the supply of guns is insufficient, so the musket barracks, engineers, artillery barracks, and chariots are temporarily in short supply. Currently, the entire brigade only has cavalry regiments, heavy armored long spear camps, and knife barracks.
, baggage and military camps and medical capitals.
In terrain like Liaozhou, the current composition of the Seventh Mixed Brigade is suitable for defending the city. Therefore, as soon as the Seventh Mixed Brigade arrives at Yushe, it immediately takes over the defense and let the Mixed Brigade of the Fourth Mixed Brigade be built. And Di Lie,
Ling Yuan and Zhao Nengze led the cavalry regiment of the 7th Brigade to the front line.
At this point, the total force of the Tianzhu Army was 6,000; the total force of the Jin Army was 8,000, confronting the two sides of the Zhuozhang River.
I have to say that Wanyan Loushi has chosen a good opportunity.
Liaozhou is a place that goes from south to north, easy to attack and difficult to defend; from west to north, easy to defend and difficult to attack. According to the planning of the General Staff of the Tianzhu Army, it is best to withdraw from Liaozhou and put the Jin army in.
Then there is a block at Maling Pass. Under the musket and fortress, even if the Jin army has thousands of troops, it is difficult to break through the pass and enter. In this way, the Jin army soldiers and food can be consumed slowly, and the spirit will eventually decline greatly, and then the general attack will be launched in time.
He expelled the Jin army from Liaozhou in one fell swoop and restored his hometown.
The Tianzhu Army has just taken over Liaozhou for only two months, and it has no foundation and will not suffer any losses if it withdraws. However, the biggest problem is that there are nearly 200,000 soldiers and civilians migrating north in Liaozhou, and they have not yet entered completely.
In Taiyuan, once the Tianzhu Army retreats, what should these people do? The people are different from the army. The army is an organized group, and they can be fast and fast regardless of advancing and retreating. But it is impossible for the people, and their efficiency will be better than the army.
Ten times slower, twenty times faster... it is impossible to evacuate in a short period of time.
Therefore, the Tianzhu Army must fight with the Jin army in Liaozhou and Yu society, and cannot retreat. Because behind them are 200,000 people in Hebei who are full of hope and are looking forward to a beautiful new life in Tianshu City. For this purpose, they have to do so.
Trust, the Tianzhu army 6,000 soldiers were sprinkled with blood on the turbid Zhang River.
The confrontation between the two armies is nothing more than a typing.
As soon as Di Lie entered the military camp, he immediately recruited a military meeting and arranged a battle. With the terrain of the east bank of Zhuozhang River, a brigade of a brigade was set up, and there was no problem. With the Fourth Mixed Brigade as the main force, a brigade array was formed.
Using two mixed brigade cavalry regiments as auxiliary attacks and counterattacks is a classic tactic of the Tianzhu Army's mixed brigades.
Aren’t the Jin army going to attack Liaozhou? Well, come on, the car formation is ready to wait at any time.
Zhuozhang River crosses the entire Yushe area for more than a hundred miles, but in the section of the river where the Jin army and the Tianzhu army were in contact, it was only about ten miles away, and it was blocked by mountains even further away. And on this ten miles long river, there was only one tree.
The only wooden bridge at present has been occupied by the Jin army. The Jin army has very strict defenses on this bridge, because they are afraid that the Tianzhu Army will send people to attack and destroy the bridge. Dun didn't know that the Tianzhu Army is above and below, and now I hope the Jin army will be quick.
Cross the bridge and attack. Even if Jin handed over the bridge, the Tianzhu Army would not demolish it, and would only be safe.
Strangely, the Zhu army was ready to fight on that day, and when they were waiting for the Jin army to attack, the Jin army, which had been aggressive and almost captured Yushe, suddenly became deserted. In addition to sending small groups of cavalry from time to time, spy and harassing, the large army
There was basically no movement.
Just when Di Lie and other leaders of the Tianzhu Army were puzzled by the Jin army's move, on September 30, the Jin army camp in Hexi was erected between the general flags of Tu Nian and Atuhan.
The pure white crow is embroidered with bear and deer patterns on the front, and the center is a string of Jurchen characters that are not pleasing to you.
Ling Yuan, who was born in Yandi and from Hanqianjun, was able to speak fluent Jurchen language, but also knew the Jurchen characters made by Wanyan Xiyin Dong. Seeing them from afar, he blurted out:
"Marson Left Supervisor, Shaanxi Governor Wanyan Loushi?!"
So that's it! Tu Nian, A Tuhan, and the eight thousand Jin troops were waiting for their commander to arrive.
This battle was a face-to-face battle between the Lord of the Tianzhu Army and the Commander of the Jinxi Road Army.
Wanyan Loushi has indeed come. As the de facto commander of the Jinxi Road Army, the highest military and political commander in charge of Guanzhong and Hedong, he knew that he would fight Tianshu City sooner or later. Since he was going to fight, it would be better to be sooner or later, and he would be passive.
It is better to take the initiative. Therefore, as soon as autumn begins, when the traditional Jin army is most active, Wanyan Loushi begins to act.
If it were two months ago, Wanyan Loushi really didn't know which direction to start. The roads that entered Taiyuan that the Tianzhu Army had stuck were dangerous passes since ancient times - Tuanbai Valleykou in Qi County
, Jiexiu's Queshi Valley, Lishi Fortress in Shizhou, Maling Pass in Liaozhou... These key passes almost blocked the possibility of attacking in any direction of the Jinxi Road Army.
The Tianzhu Army's defense was so powerful that it became famous as the Jin army with Wanyan Zongfu's military report. Although Wanyan Loushi had not fought with the Tianzhu Army, it was not difficult to deduce it. If you want to break through those passes, you need to
How much loss will it take?
Wanyan Loushi once turned his attention to the Jinning Army. Only by defeating the Jinning Army and bypassing the Lishi Fortress can he break the Taiyuan iron wall of the Tianzhu Army. However, in this way, he is very likely to be attacked from both sides and be subjected to Jinning at the same time.
Army, Zhe Family Army and Tianzhu Army attacked each other in three directions.
Just when Wanyan Loushi was extremely entangled, the Tianzhu Army captured Liaozhou and the news of the refugees moving north came, Loushi laughed on the spot. He knew that the opportunity had come. In Wanyan Loushi's view, the Tianzhu Army took the initiative.
Attack and walk out of the iron wall, this is a big flaw.
First, they went south to attack Chang'an with great fanfare to build a plank road in an open manner; the eight thousand troops flew across the Yellow River and raided Liaozhou in order to secretly cross Chencang. Then, they suddenly appeared from Chang'an in Liaozhou to hide the situation.
What actions will Di Lie take to "reward" this famous Jin army general who has not met yet and even released three "Thirty-Six Strategies"? (To be continued. If you like this work
