Chapter 783

Ruyi's enemy rushed up again, but Zhao Bing smiled after seeing it. Not only were they slow to move, but they were even more afraid after hearing the cannon sound again. Instead, they were chaotic cavalry gathered to the left wing and were chaotic. Through many battles with the enemy Han army, he knew that Longxing Wanhu Mansion was composed of the new affiliated army, and he couldn't help but sigh that the Han army in the Yuan Dynasty was also weasels who were not as good as a nest of rats.

Everyone knows how many Mongolian population is. Even if Genghis Khan has only more than one million people in unification of Mongolia, years of war will inevitably lead to death and injury. This is the only thing that can be used to support him to expand his territory and expand his territory. In his war to attack Song, the Song army infantry was passive and disadvantageous against the cavalry of the northern nomads in the field, and was even more disadvantageous against the Mongolian cavalry. But how many Song people were? How many Mongolian talents were? Even with a exchange rate of 10 or even 20 to 1, the descendants of Tiemuzhen could not help but die!

So if the Mongols really had to rely on their iron cavalry to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongols would probably have been extinct after more than 20 years of war! On the battlefield of the Mongolian and Song Dynasty war, it was not the Mongolian iron cavalry that really put the Song army in trouble, but the traitors in the northern region driven by the Mongolian iron cavalry. They occupied a considerable proportion in the army of the Yuan Dynasty, except for the Mongolian army and the Red Army of the Probation of the Horse, and played an important role in the battle.

As early as the Genghis Khan period, the Khitan, Jurchen and Han army of the Great Jin Kingdom continued to join the Mongolian Khanate. In addition, the troops recruited in the newly conquered areas later became the Han army in a broad sense. Later, the Khitans suffered a lot in the war and had to supplement and expand them from the Han people in the Central Plains. After Emperor Ogedei became emperor, he sent people to use the Mongolian military system to organize the northern Han army; after Kublai Khan ascended the throne, he also signed nearly 200,000 troops from the Central Plains to supplement the Han army. When the Song Dynasty was destroyed, a large number of Song troops surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, and were called the New Affiliated Army or the New Affiliated Army, the Southern Army, etc.

Therefore, the Han army in the Yuan court was complex, and the Khitans were the main components, and there were also the Yamen, Jurchens, the Han people from the Mountains, the Han people from the Central Plains, and the Han people from the South. In the early days of the founding of the Mongolian Kingdom, there was no difference between the troops, and the army was all cavalry. After recruiting the Han army, infantry had been introduced, and soon the craftsmen who made and used siege guns were gathered together, called the Artillery Army or the Artillery Army; the people in each army who were good at water war were also formed to form a naval army or a sailor army. After entering the Yuan Dynasty, the artillery army and the navy were highly valued, especially the training and expansion of the navy army were included in the military development plan.

After the national unification, the Yuan court reorganized the Han army and some of the Semu army originally owned by the Mongolian army, plus the newly affiliated soldiers assigned to each army, and established nearly one hundred Wanhu Mansions, and the Marshal's Mansion was in charge of these troops. In addition to equipping artillery troops and naval forces in some Wanhu Mansions, they also established special institutions such as the Cannon Sailor Marshal's Mansion, the Cannon Sailor's Mansion, the Navy Marshal's Mansion, and the Navy Marshal's Mansion. Most of these institutions and armies belong to the local military system. Most of the gun craftsmen transferred to the capital were affiliated with the military weapon supervision.

Since recruiting a large number of new soldiers, the Yuan court began to dismantle its original organizational system and divided it into the central guards and local army of the Yuan army; or Mongolian, Han and Southern officers joined forces to establish a new military palace and manage the new military personnel. Whenever a war occurred, the new military personnel from each army were always dispatched to fight, and the new military personnel who did not participate in the war had to engage in military farming and labor service. After years of war consumption and natural reduction, the number of new military troops decreased day by day, and the considerable number of new military troops was gradually consumed by various military organizations and complicated wars of the Yuan court.

The north is the key place of Mongolia, and it became the key garrison area for the Mongolian army and the Red Army of Dissertation. It turned out that the Han army, which had been established in Jiangbei, went south to station in Jiangnan after the fall of the Song Dynasty, and only a few troops remained in Jiangbei. The south of the Huai River was mainly stationed by the Han army and the New Army, and some Mongolian army and the Red Army of Dissertation were surveillance. The border areas were protected by the troops of the Mongolian clan kings who were divided or out of the territory and the Mongolian tribes who were sub-finished or left the territory to cooperate with the defense, and controlled the south to control the south and suppressed the south. If necessary, they could cover the retreat to the grassland. At the same time, the Wanhu Prefecture, the Marshal's Office and other military units were established in Jiangnan. The subordinate troops were mainly composed of the Han army and participated in the New Army and some Semu soldiers.

The deployment method of the Yuan army highlights the plot of Kublai Khan and others, and shows the characteristics of internal and external coordination and control and layer by layer. Most of the people, Shangdu and Fuli areas, stationed in the central guard troops as the core of military control. The Mongolian army on the grasslands in the north and south of the Yellow River and Shaanxi, and the Red Army stationed in the central areas of the Yellow River, Shaanxi and Sichuan, combined with a circle of defense lines to protect the central government. The Han army and rural soldiers guarding in the Jiangnan region and the border areas formed a larger line of defense. Once a war broke out, not only the local army participated in the war, but the troops of the neighboring provinces and the Red Army of the Red Army could be quickly transferred. If necessary, the personal guards could also go to war.

Kublai Khan's intention was to form a strict system of garrisons by surveillance of the Han army in various provinces by surveillance of the guards as backing. In addition, his deployment was to prevent the worries of foreign tribes, and it also targeted the confidant of the Mongolian nobles. The Mongolian army, which was the main force of the conquest of the Mongolian Empire, was still mixed with the Genghis Khan family annexed and controlled the Mongolian tribes. These tribes did not gain their full trust, and even Mongolian relatives often fought against each other because of their fighting for the Khan throne, power and grassland resources.

Some troops led by the "Han people" were to guard the border areas or to pacify the civil strife in the hinterland of Mongolia, and to restrain the effect of controlling the enemy. This system seemed perfect, but in Zhao Bing's view, it only seemed very beautiful. First of all, the Han army had a low status in the Yuan army system, and all important positions in the army were held by the Mongols. Han generals were not allowed to usurp, and Mongols who lacked military experience still had to be nominal chief generals.

Han generals were not allowed to general Mongolian army, and the Mongols must be the first commander when fighting in concert. In view of Zhao Bing, it was actually a natural and pragmatic institutional arrangement of the Mongols in the early days. Objectively speaking, the grassland nation itself had a relatively sufficient military talent reserve. In addition, the Semu group that had joined earlier did not have to absorb the Han people to enrich the command system. On the contrary, there were still many young Mongolian officers who could only command the Han army and the new affiliated army at first.

From a subjective perspective, in the eyes of the Mongolian nobles, the "Han people" are nothing more than conquered people. For the Mongolian army, the auxiliary troops composed of surrendered ethnic groups have always had a weak and short-term use value. This shows that the Han army group was so humble in the minds of the early Mongolian conquerors. Regardless of whether the hundreds of households of the Mongolian army were willing to accept the orders of the "Han" generals, even in the absence of affiliation, friction and conflict between the two sides were inevitable.

Of course, what Zhao Bing was amusing was not these, but that he knew that his master had to use traitors, and that they were all the same routine in history. In the war to conquer Jiangnan, the armed forces, who were called the Han Shihou, were often the traitors fighting with the Song soldiers first, and the Mongols pressed the formation. After a few rounds of battle, the infantry of the Southern Song Dynasty was exhausted and the traitors were exhausted. At this time, the Mongolian cavalry, who was raising their strength, attacked, and the infantry of the Southern Song Dynasty quickly failed. In this way, the Mongolians showed their invincible image in front of the traitors. You could not defeat them after fighting for so long. Once my cavalry attacked, they quickly collapsed, which just shocked the traitors.

However, the illusion is just that compared with those traitors and puppet soldiers at the bottom, the leaders of the traitors knew what was going on, so the upper Mongolian nobles had capable people to win over these traitors. Didn’t you, the Southern Song Dynasty, let’s not let these martial artists have a high status? I turned around and adopted the Han Dynasty’s Marquis system. These martial artists were like warlords and emperors, so naturally they were looking forward to the Mongolians. When the Han Dynasty Marquis were scolded to kill the Southern Song soldiers and civilians of their own race, they would say in a singular way: The Mongolian Khan treated my family kindly, and let us be the Marquis... What benefits did the Song Dynasty officials give me!

As the Han army was abolished, the command power was lost, and the status was also disparate. Even if they were tens of thousands of households, they could not marry a Mongolian girl. Moreover, the Mongolians did not trust the Han army. Except for the guards, the Han army could not garrison the north of the Huaihe River. The new affiliated army usually used wooden knives for training, and the real guys were locked in the warehouse and were only sent to them during wartime. However, when farming and being cannon fodder, they could not forget them. They became erratic soldiers. This also aroused dissatisfaction among the top leaders of the Han army, and the conflicts between the two sides became deeper.

Now Ezhou City is stationed in Wanhufu, Yidu, Zibo, Wanhu, but Wanhu is the Mongol of Daluhua, Timuer, Buhua, and Han Wang Ying is only the deputy Wanhu. The first two battles were Wanhu in Pingyang Taiyuan. Although they broke through the defense line, they failed to achieve success. The cavalry was hit by artillery fire in the subsequent attack. Zhang Heng of Wanhu was killed in the battle, and the cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining troops fled. At this moment, Longxing Wanhu, which was mainly composed of the new affiliated army, was clearly trying to consume his power.

"Have the enemy troops in the city moved?" Zhao Bing asked with a look of distortion.

"Report to Your Majesty, there is a cavalry leaving the city!" Qin Linfeng said in surprise.

"But the Red Army of Ma?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"That's right, has our army retreated to the camp?" Qin Linfeng was even more surprised. Why did His Majesty sit there and watch the battle, but how could he expect the situation several miles away?

"No, since they have come out, don't go back!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the Red Army of the Mass are much stronger than the Han army, so you should avoid its edge!" Wen Tianxiang frowned. He felt that the guards had fought for a while, but they still had to face the current infantry. His Majesty wanted to take the Red Army of the Mass in one fell swoop. This was too rude.

"No, they have to deal with it!" Zhao Bing shook his head and said, "Call the cannons, and order the navy to enter Nanhu Lake and block the east gate of Ezhou City. The enemy must not retreat to the city."

"Your Majesty, there are tens of thousands of enemies at present. If the city gate is blocked and the enemy's retreat is cut off, they will definitely attack our army's camp with all their might. It would be better to retreat to the camp!" Mrs. Xu also suggested. The battle just now actually shocked her. The guards only had a brigade's strength to smash the enemy's attack. What's even more rare is that when the enemy's attack was the most fierce, they were still as stable as Mount Tai in the face of the impact of more than a thousand enemy cavalry, and their formation was not at all messy. It can be seen that their training was so harsh at the beginning, but she still couldn't help but worry about fighting continuously.

"Don't say too much, it's hard to find a fighter opportunity. If this battle is successful, our army can win Ezhou City in one battle. Even if the combat attempt cannot be fully achieved, it can cause great casualties to the enemy and lay the foundation for siege." Zhao Bing saw everyone's concerns, and explained in order to eliminate everyone's concerns.

"Oh, Your Majesty had already expected that the Red Army of the Dispatch Ma would leave the city to fight?" Wen Tianxiang asked.

"I am not a fortune teller, and I can predict everything." Zhao Bing smiled and said, "I have only made a judgment based on the development of the battle situation. You have seen the enemy's surprise attack tactics break through our two trenches and try to detour backwards to cut off the retreat. Their intention has already been clear, not to break the siege, but to fight us."

"Well, what Your Majesty said is exactly. If Your Majesty had not made a quick decision to order the two armies to retreat and give up the trenches, our army would have been divided and encircled and annihilated by him!" Qin Linfeng nodded and said.

"Haha, I still dare not make a complete conclusion at that time, but the enemy soon sent cavalry to rush forward, which dispelled my doubts." Zhao Bing smiled and said, "I have fought with the enemy Han army many times. The trick they used was to first consume our army's strength with weak brigades. When the veterans were tired, they would send a new force to break through the defense line in one fell swoop. Especially when the Mongols used this trick, I dared to judge that the enemy's detective Ma Chijun would come to get a bargain."

"Since His Majesty could not determine that the Red Army of the Detective Ma would leave the city, why did he lie down the navy in Nanhu in advance?" Song Lian asked again.

"I was worried that once we were in danger, we could ask the navy to come and respond in case of an accident!" Zhao Bing explained.

"So that's the case. Your Majesty is planning ahead and has already made plans first, so that no matter how advanced you advance, you can attack and retreat or defend!" Song Lian nodded and said.

"Your Majesty is meticulous in his layout and predicts the enemy's advance in everything. I admire you!" Xie Fangde said with a polite manner.

"Oh, you were all deceived by His Majesty..." Chen Dun frowned as he looked at the group of people's repeated "praise".

"Don't be rude!" Before Chen Dun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Xu and scolded him.

"Sister, I... I'm telling the truth. His Majesty did not expect to be defeated at the beginning of the war. He arranged the navy to stand by and set up the enemy troops outside the city. Since the Red Army of Ma came to seek death, they could only take them with him!" Chen Dun and the little emperor always spoke casually, but his sister was stunned, but he quickly realized that he still said the words in his stomach.
