Chapter 488 The prelude begins! Ask for a monthly ticket)

Go forward! Go forward!

In the night, the red scarf Song army of the brigade was divided into several routes and drove out the Jinxi camp built on Qili River and backed by Bijiashan Bay, rolling forward. The sound of people shouting and neighing horses echoed on the mountain plains of Liaoxi outside Jinzhou.

The army commanded by Yue Fei drove out of Shanhaiguan on March 23, the 11th year of Hongwu, and rushed all the way to the west of Jinzhou along the Liaoxi Corridor.

Millions of troops come out of the mountains and seas!

Faced with this type of Red Turban Song Army, the Jin soldiers placed in the strongholds on the western Liaoning Corridor, such as the St. Laibin, Shijiadian, Haibin, Xingcheng, Yangjiaguan, Taohua Island, Juehua Island, etc., were abandoned and burned them to the east of Shanhaiguan and on the western Liaoning Corridor. Since the Battle of Yanyun, all of them have been changed into wooden walls, which are only used to deal with small-scale Song Army. If the Song army leaves the pass, they will immediately give up burning to avoid investing in the enemy. At the same time, the defenders in these strongholds retreated to the mountainous areas of Liaoxi, and waited for the Song army to pass by before going down the mountain to harass their rear.

However, this method is used to deal with the Northern Song army without sea power, which is completely ineffective against the Song army, which can now play three-dimensional battles in sea and land.

So after Yue Fei's "million-million army" left Shanhaiguan, he made rapid progress, a journey of 170 or 80 miles, and it was completed in less than three days.

The army drove out of Shanhaiguan on the 23rd. On the 26th, Li Shifu, who was fighting for the vanguard, had personally led the first army to occupy Bijiashan Bay!

However, after occupying the Bay of Bijiashan, Yue Fei did not immediately launch an attack on Jinzhou.

He did not leave heavy troops to guard the Liaoxi Corridor before, but because he did not want to take a back road, the land supply line was no longer useful after he had the power to control the sea. The supplies needed by his hundreds of thousands of troops were originally transported from the southeast by sea, and it was even closer to Bijiashan Bay!

So within a full twelve days between March 26 and April 8, hundreds of thousands of Song troops who arrived at Bijiashan Bay were arduously starting infrastructure construction.

Bijia Mountain is located on the top of a peninsula. To the west of the peninsula, there is a Qili River that is not too wide but can still be relied on.

So the Jinxi Camp of the Song army started construction based on the peninsula north of Qilihe and Bijia Mountain.

While starting construction of the camp, the Song army also built a temporary wharf with fifteen berths on the coast of the peninsula north of Bijia Mountain, called Jinxi Port.

While the main force of the Song army was busy carrying out infrastructure construction, Yue Fei also sent dozens of small troops to control the Qili River, Nuer River, Songshan and the west bank of the lower reaches of the Xiaoling River outside Jinxi Daying. This completely covered up his own army gathering area.

On the eighth day of April, the urgent construction projects such as Jinxi Daying, Jinxi Port, Bijiashan Fortress, Qili River Long Wall, Jinxi Changhao and other areas were all initially completed.

Afterwards, Yue Fei ordered the officers and soldiers of his troops to hand over the follow-up project to the civilians who accompanied the army. These civilians would continue to work under the command of some engineers until the Song army's stronghold in Jinxi became unbreakable.

After the construction was completed, the officers and soldiers of Yue Fei's troops rested for three days and two nights. After the dusk on April 11, they suddenly completed the assembly, and then drove out the Jinxi camp in the army, forming three torrents between the plains and mountains of Jinxi, and headed towards Jinzhou.

The three torrents were named East Route Army, West Route Army and Middle Route Army respectively.

Among them, the Western Route Army was led by Liu Qi, composed of three armies, the Fourth Army, the Fifth Army and the Twelfth Army. After leaving the Jinxi Camp, they were divided into three routes. The Fourth Army rushed directly to the east and drove to the Lianshan River line forty miles west of Qilihe. The road was down, Lianshan River was just an inconspicuous river and was very easy to cross. However, it blocked the famous Tashan Mountain in the future that was bounded from the Liaoxi Corridor to Jinzhou, which was about ten miles north of Lianshan River!

After leaving Jinxi Daying, the Fifth Army moved northeastward and advanced all the way to the junction of the Daughter River and the mountainous areas of western Liaoning.

Daughter Hong is a tributary of the Xiaoling River and also flows out from the mountainous areas of Liaoxi. There is a wide official road where the river flows through, which can lead to Xingzhong Prefecture located in the mountainous areas of Liaoxi. The mission of the Fifth Army is to guard this official road, so it is also the leader of the village!

The 12th Army drove between Daughterhe Dazhai and Lianshanhe Dazhai. A small hill called Mopan Mountain next to Qilihe was camped under the small hill called Mopan Mountain. As the reserve team of the Fourth and Fifth Armies, it also guarded the small roads between the mountains and hills in western Liaoning. Liu Qi's own central army was placed on Mopan Mountain.

The central army that attacked Jinzhou was led by Niu Gao, consisting of eight armies including the Second Army, the Third Army, the Sixth Army, the Seventh Army, the Eighth Army, the Ninth Army, the Tenth Army, the Eleventh Army, and the Tenth Army, plus ten siege artillery generals, with a total force of more than 200,000!

Their mission is to conquer Jinzhou as soon as possible!

In order to complete this task, Niu Gao divided his eight armies into four corpses, southeast, west and northeast, according to Yue Fei's instructions. The South Road Legion consists of the seventh and ninth armies, first occupying the Songshan area south of Jinzhou, and then forcibly crossing the Xiaoling River and attacking the south of Jinzhou Triangle Fort.

The Western Route Army consists of a division of the Second Army, Third Army and Sixth Army. It crosses the Nuer River and Xiaoling River from the west of Jinzhou, occupying the Beiputuo Mountain as its starting position, and then attacks the west of Jinzhou Triangle Fort.

The Northern Legion is composed of the main forces of the Eighth Army, the Tenth Army and the Sixth Army. It moves together with the Western Legion to the bottom of Beiputuo Mountain, and then moves eastward to the north of Jinzhou City, south of Yizhou, and southwest of Yiwulu Mountain. Then attack Jinzhou from the north.

The Eastern Army had the least force, with only one 11th Army. This army would cross the Xiaoling River from the south of Jinzhou, and then attack and advance from the east of Jinzhou from the big and small rivers.

According to the plan, the four legions will be in full swing before April 18th and clear the Jin soldiers' strongholds outside Jinzhou.

Starting from April 18, the 200,000 Song troops will launch a battle to attack Jinzhou from all directions at the same time!

The Eastern Route Army, which was responsible for covering northeast of Jinzhou, was commanded by Wu Jie, consisting of three armies, including the 12th Army, the 13th Army, the 14th Army, and the 14th Army. They will move with the Eastern Route Corps of the Central Route Army, first drive to the west of the Daling River, then unfold from south to north along the Daling River, to the foot of the southern foot of Yiwulu Mountain, and then turn westward, and use the 12th Army to lead the way between Jinzhou and Yizhou to block the passage between Jin thieves and Yizhou to the south.

In addition to the above four armies, Yue Fei, who is in Jinxi, also has an elite first army, which is the general reserve team of the entire army!

The fourteen army, another ten artillery generals, the chief soldiers, auxiliary soldiers and the accompanying civilians, and the army of nearly 400,000 people divided so many routes around Jinzhou, which was not particularly open, and launched a rapid advance, which alarmed the Jin soldiers on the opposite side.

Everyone knows that the prelude to the war has begun!

"The emperor's father, Bo Jilie! Nan Kou is splitting his troops and moving towards Jinzhou in all directions. Many of us have lost contact with the strongholds outside Jinzhou! The Seli, who guards Jinzhou, sent people to send an urgent report, saying that Jinzhou will be surrounded by Nan Kou by the eighteenth day at the latest!"

Wanyan Zongqiang stood in front of Wanyan Zong, his face full of irrepressible excitement. Of course, this expression was for the two brothers Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Zonggu who had arrived in Guangning Mansion!

Everything is under control!

Wanyan Zonggan also laughed: "Hahaha, as expected, the Southern people really divided their troops! If they wanted to seize Jinzhou quickly, it would not be enough not to invest 200,000 troops. But how many of their main soldiers could there be? Now, Yanshan, Goryeo, and the Transcendence Department have all reported being attacked by the Southern Invaders! How many more people can they invest in Jinzhou? With such a division of troops, the flaws will be exposed!"

His analysis is nothing wrong. Of course, Yue Fei's arrangement is a flawed victory in battle.

60% of the battles that are sure of can be fought, 80% of the battles that are sure of can't be fought, because the enemy has already run away!

There are still some fighting in Jinzhou now, which shows that Yue Fei's arrangement is definitely not impeccable. For example, the two blocking troops he divided were only six armies in total, and they were still divided in a relatively scattered manner.

If the Jin soldiers really made up their minds, they could completely defeat them!

In this way, the Niu Gaozhong Army besieged Jinzhou would be in crisis

But can you decide to make a move? Is it a matter of concentrating your troops to defeat the whole way, or is it a way to make dumplings for Yue Fei?

If Wanyan Zonggan wants to concentrate his troops to attack the Song army, then go south from Yizhou to Yiwulu Mountain and Liaoxi Mountains. From the map, it is an open passage, and there is no problem for 300,000 troops to enter this passage.

Jinzhou is at the end of this passage, but he fights like this. Although the possibility of winning is relatively high, the results of the battle are not very satisfactory because the Song army can't defeat it and can retreat!

Retreat to the Beiputuo Mountain, Nuer River, Xiaoling River, and Songshan line, and form a confrontation with the Jin soldiers.

The millions of troops on both sides confronted each other in western Liaoning. Isn’t this a replica of the Battle of Changping? After confrontation for one year, two years and three years, the Jin army is likely to be wiped out like the Zhao army in Changping!

Moreover, Wanyan Zonggan is no longer a good deal now. He has been in a row for a year or two. He died before the battle was over, leaving behind a 17 or 18-year-old Wanyan Liang. How can he control the overall situation?
