After walking out of Wei Yang's barracks, Wang Xiaolie let out a sigh of relief. After he had spoken, the mood of the soldiers was lifted a lot. Then big meat buns were served, and each of them had a bowl of wine. They ate and discussed, and their morale became high again.

.

Most of the people in this army were ordinary people not long ago. Where have they seen such bloody scenes? During training, Wang Xiao's hunting army was more humane. Military discipline was strict, but not cruel, and many people were in a relaxed mood. Chapter 1

When encountering such a crazy army as the Jin Army, it is inevitable to feel nervous. However, after this war, this army has matured.

Returning to the commander's tent, Xie Qian, Chen Yuyi, Niu Gao and others were already waiting there.

Wang Xiaolie talked about the situation in Wei Yang's army and sighed: "Although we won the battle, many soldiers in our army were frightened by this bloody scene. In one day, Wei Yang's army only saw a flood of golden men.

I don’t know how many they killed. When they returned to the military camp, they found out that they had nearly 800 casualties, and they were even more frightened.”

Niu Gao said: "We have won after all, and ordinary soldiers should be happy."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Why are you so happy? So many people died today. This army has been training together for more than half a year, and the people around you are all your usual comrades and friends. At the end of the day, these comrades and friends have left, how can you be happy?

?”

Chen Yuyi said: "This matter should not be taken lightly. When the two armies are fighting, there are many soldiers who can't stand the pressure and disperse in a hurry. If we can't deal with it in time, there will be problems."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes, this is a big deal for the army. The psychological problems of soldiers were not paid much attention to in the past, and countless things happened. Our army has a lot of scribes, which plays a role in this aspect.

"

After saying that, Wang Xiaolie sat down in front of the case, looked at the map and stopped talking.

After a while, Wang Xiaoxian said: "We don't know how many troops in the Jin army can attack like today. If they still do this tomorrow and attack Wei Yang's army, Wei Yang will die if nearly a thousand people are killed.

The difficulty has been overcome. I decided to draw a thousand men from Zhong Ci's army as a mobile force. When the Jin army attacks Wei Yang, these thousand men will be temporarily incorporated into Wei Yang's army. If they attack Zhong Ci, they will still return to Zhong Ci.

command."

Jie Qian said: "What if the Jin army attacks other armies?"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Xue Cheng is on the right wing, close to Jingmen City and defending the city. The Jin army will not attack them if they are in their right mind. Niu Gao's troops are arrayed on the mountain, with both foot and cavalry, and a strong force.

The Jin army is not afraid of attacking. Moreover, if they attack the left wing, the Jin army has a long way to go, and they will not do this on the battlefield. If we attack like today, we will probably attack my center. The center is Wei Yang and Zhong Ci's six thousand iron armor.

No choice."

Wang Xiaolie's arrangement was to defend the mountainous area to the west of the city with 2,000 men. In the middle were 6,000 armored men and Xue Cheng's 3,000 men to assist in breaking out and defending the city. On the left were Niu Gao's 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry. He commanded the 2,000 armored men.

and two thousand cavalry, which constitute the central army and the general reserve. The Jin army breaks through the front military formation, and Wang Xiaolie's central army can make up for it in time.

The Jin army did not have many choices when attacking. They could either attack Niugao or attack the middle. The distance to attack Niugao was too far unless they used cavalry.

Wang Xiaolie said: "The Jin Army's famous fighting methods are the Iron Buddha Tu and the Kaizi Horse. We saw the Iron Buddha Tu today, and tomorrow we have to guard against the Jin Army's Kaizi Horse. Attacking with the Kaizi Horse can only be done by Niu Gao.

Ministry. You have to be careful tomorrow!"

Niugao crossed his hands and said yes.

Jie Qian said: "After a day of attacking without improvement today, the Jin army will definitely change their attack style tomorrow."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "If we can only attack for one day, the Jin Army's tactics will not be such a headache. I estimate that the Jin Army will have to attack for at least one day tomorrow. For us, as long as we can hold our position for three days

, the situation will change drastically. At that time, the Jin army will be exhausted, and the advantage of our army's large number can be fully exerted."

Having said this, Wang Xiaolie stood up and walked a few steps. He said: "The Jin Army has at least three tactics that pose the greatest threat. One is Tiefu Tu and the other is Kidnapping Horse. Everyone knows these two. In fact, there is another one.

This means that they do not form formations and fight on the move. The main army of the Jin army usually has one person and two horses, and they are very fast. They have grown up on horses, so it is difficult for us to deal with them. We can only use trained elite soldiers, and more

Counterattack in numbers.”

Niu Gao said: "This time in Jingmen City, before the Jin army arrived in front of the city, almost none of its scouts returned. We won the last one."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Reconnaissance cavalry is reconnaissance cavalry, and field battles are field battles. They cannot be confused. When he was in Kaifeng Mansion, Zong Liushou once taught Yue Fei the formation diagram. Yue Fei said that the art of war is to fight after formation. Use it.

Wonderful, it comes from single-mindedness. Among the generals of the imperial court, Yue Fei is probably the one who best understands the essence of field warfare. We can only strengthen training and not give the Jin army a chance to attack in the field."

Many things in the world are like this. You know what's going on, you know your opponent's methods, and you know what to do, but you just can't do better than your opponent. In his past life, Wang Xiaolie knew enough about the Jin Army, but

Some wars still have no solution.

We discussed today's battle in detail and made plans for tomorrow. Wang Xiaolie said: "We can't relax in the battle now. It's getting late. Everyone should go back and rest early. I haven't prepared a midnight snack here, so please go back."

Everyone said goodbye. Wang Xiaolie sat alone in the tent, looking at the stars in the sky outside the tent in trance.

A few days ago, Wang Xiaolie analyzed that the Jin Army's strategic and operational capabilities were average. But in just one or two decades after its rise, it was able to destroy the Liao Dynasty and defeat the Northern Song Dynasty. It must have its own advantages. Today

I have seen what makes the Jin Army so outstanding. On the battlefield, the Jin Army is indeed a very difficult opponent to deal with. In a short period of time, the Jin Army's advantage cannot be shaken.

At this time, Wang Xiaolie remembered the famous strategy of the Anti-Japanese War, protracted war.

After the stormy Japanese attack in the early days, the Battle of Pingxingguan and the great victory at Taierzhuang, many people have put forward their own opinions on the War of Resistance Against Japan. The most famous ones are the theory of quick victory and the theory of surrender. Of course, there are many others

protracted war. It is meaningless who first raised the issue of protracted war. In fact, many people have raised it. But before the great man gave his speech "On Protracted War", no one made this issue clear, thorough and

Understand. After the great man gave a speech, protracted war truly became a strategy.

At the turn of the Song Dynasty, in the face of the Jin army's attack, did the Song Dynasty need a strategy? Now in the court, what is the mainstream strategy in the face of the Jin army? Wang Xiaolie needs to figure it out and propose his own strategy.

According to the social consciousness at this time and the historical records of later generations, the civil servants and generals of the Song Dynasty were divided into two factions, the war faction and the peace faction. Although this division is clear, it cannot reflect the strategy at this time. The peace faction does not

It must be a capitulation faction, and the main war faction may not necessarily be a quick victory faction. Everyone has slightly different views and different reasons.

According to the classification method of the Anti-Japanese War, it can be divided into surrender faction, quick victory faction and protracted war, which can relatively clearly understand the situation of the imperial court.

At this time, Zhao Gou was hesitant. Zhao Gou did not dare to have the idea of ​​​​a quick victory, but he was unwilling to surrender, and his thoughts were swinging back and forth. Zhao Gou's thoughts were uncertain, and the court's strategy was not clear. While resisting the Jin army, he could not

Bian continued to send envoys to the Jin Dynasty.

At this time, Wang Xiaolie could not figure out the thoughts of the important officials in the court. But it is certain that there were both surrender faction and quick victory faction in the court, as well as those who advocated protracted war. The representative of the quick victory faction was Han Shizhong, who had the greatest influence.

Because Qin Hui had not returned to the court, Wang Xiaolie could not figure out the current representatives of the capitulation faction in the court. As for those who advocated a protracted war, there were actually many people, but they had not made it clear.

The most core of them is Zhao Gou's thoughts. From a historical perspective, although Zhao Gou's thoughts have wavered, he is basically a capitulator. He only made some adjustments in response to the fighting on the front line and the attitude of the Jin army.

In the history of this period, one of the most debated topics among future generations is the relationship between Qin Hui and Zhao Gou, and who was responsible for killing Yue Fei. Fundamentally speaking, Zhao Gou, as the emperor, should have more historical responsibilities. Qin Hui, as the leader, had more responsibility

Although he is younger than Zhao Gou, he still has the main responsibility. Because Zhao Gou is a capitulator, he has a complicated attitude towards Qin Hui, the representative of the capitulation faction. The two have a cooperative relationship, and Qin Hui has been in power for a long time. Because Zhao Gou knows very well that another person should be replaced.

The government will inevitably change, and his throne will not be peaceful. Qin Hui was a powerful minister and usurped imperial power to a large extent, so his relationship with Zhao Gou was not very harmonious.

The relationship between Zhao Gou and Qin Hui should be viewed from the perspective of the main contradiction of this era, the attitude towards the Jin Dynasty. While surrendering to the Jin Dynasty, he also wanted to stabilize the government. Zhao Gou could not do without Qin Hui's support. Qin Hui clearly understood that he was surrendering to the Jin Dynasty.

Only he can do this while stabilizing the government while surrendering to the DPRK, so he has a certain degree of independence.

As for some people who analyze it from the perspective that Zhao Gou is the emperor and can control the world, and everything is decided by himself. Qin Hui is the prime minister and must be loyal to the emperor. From this perspective, the results are inexplicable. Even if other people are involved,

The people here do not support the Northern Expedition, and the ministers who lead the war are causing harm to the country and the people. It is impossible for the Song Dynasty to win, and it is just a chaos of demons.

The biggest trouble in resisting the Jin Dynasty in this era is that Zhao Gou is a capitulator and has a deep-rooted fear of the Jin Dynasty. As long as there is a chance, Zhao Gou will definitely surrender. Even if he has the upper hand, as long as the Jin Dynasty allows Zhao Gou to surrender, Zhao Gou will

It will definitely drop.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolie sighed helplessly. History is created by the people, and the people are the masters of history. This is true. But when it comes to a specific historical stage, it is often not the people who determine the direction of history. After a hundred years,

, In two hundred years, the people can reverse the direction of history, but those hundreds of years have passed, and the direction of history will be different from before.

At the turn of the Song Dynasty, did this historical period require a protracted war? It certainly did. After the Jin army broke through Kaifeng, the Song Dynasty's field army was almost exhausted, and it was unable to fight the Jin army. It could only use the vast space and the people's

Support and re-establish their own army. Surrendering is wrong. At this time, the Song army wanted to surrender, but the Jin Dynasty did not dare to agree due to lack of strength. The theory of quick victory is also wrong. The Jin Dynasty still had a strong military and could obtain resources from the occupied land.

. Even though the Song army was victorious for a while, it could not last long.
