No one knew what Di Qing and Wu Xin said that night, but when they set off for the expedition the next day, Wu Xin kept urging Yang Wenguang to be careful. The previous defeat of the Guangyuan Army might have been a fake defeat, not a real defeat. Can't beat Yang Wenguang.
This sentence made Yang Wenguang very angry.
What does it mean that you can't really beat him? Could it be that the battles he won were fake?
***, he is a dignified general, and their Tianbo Mansion still has a plaque awarded by the officials to prove the achievements of their Yang family.
It was all made with one knife and one gun, without any moisture at all. Why do people doubt his ability when he comes here?
When he drank too much last night, he patted his chest and followed a few brothers to promise that he must capture Nong Zhigao, the leader of the thief, otherwise his surname would not be Yang!
He seems to have even issued a military order. Although it is not that formal, it is not a child's play if he says it out loud. Everyone is waiting to see his joke. The surname Yang is his greatest pride, and he has been working hard to restore the glory of his ancestors all his life. If he really loses, he will not become the laughing stock of these people!
As soon as he returned to the front army, he led his men to fight south, ready to advance towards Yongzhou. However, as soon as he left Wuzhou, he clearly felt something was wrong.
The Guangyuan Army, which was originally lazy and weak like a plate of loose sand, suddenly became hardened. Whether it was half-hearted or combat power, it was completely different from the group of people fighting in Wuzhou!
Guangyuan's army advanced and retreated in a controlled manner. When he was in Wuzhou, there were rumors that Guangyuan's army was out of food and grass and its morale was in chaos, so he launched a charge without hesitation and regained Wuzhou in one fell swoop.
But the Guangyuan Army here showed no signs of hunger. Although they also had no shoes to wear, they ran no slower with bare feet than wearing shoes!
Even Yang Wenguang noticed that the original Guangyuan army had no weapons, but now everyone has a spear and a long bow behind his back!
In comparison, the advantage of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty was that they only had one more sword and a heavy armor!
There are only 500 people in the Forbidden Army going south who are equipped with heavy armor. Most of the others are just a piece of armor and a Fan Yangli. Calculated, there is not much advantage over the Guangyuan Army who has received supplies from Hengshan Village!
The most elite infantry fighting of the Song people benefited from their armor, which was enough to compete with the most elite cavalry. However, wearing that armor would make it impossible to move in the mountains and forests in the south. No matter how strong the warrior was, he only had to walk a few miles. The ground can consume all the strength of the body. Let alone fighting, it is difficult to take off the armor!
In front of Wuzhou is Tengzhou.
Five hundred years from now there will be a talented person here who could almost change the direction of history, but the people in power are too suspicious of him, and in the end he will be tricked by the enemy and die late.
Feng shui is a very confusing thing.
The population here is not as good as that of Wuzhou, and the terrain has become more complex, with high mountains and dense forests, rapid water and deep gorges. Yang Wenguang, a general with a background as a cavalry general, has a headache when he sees a place like this! He wanted to tell Wu Xin the situation and ask Wu Xin to send some people. Wu Xin's reply to him was also very direct.
No, not a hair.
The reasons he gave are also very good.
The place in the south is too complex to be suitable for large forces to spread out for combat. No matter how large the number of people is, they can only be carried out one by one. He doesn't have many people on hand. It is impossible to give Yang Wenguang to Huo Huo and let Yang Wenguang figure out his own solution.
If he gives as many people as he wants and lets others do whatever he wants, how can it be so easy to do things? If possible, 30,000
Wouldn't it be easier if people came directly?
Yang Wenguang was so angry that Wu Xin only gave him 5,000 men. Five thousand men were not even enough to find a hill. He had even calculated that even the entire southern expedition force would not be enough!
These southern barbarians on the opposite side, when fighting, specially select the army's logistics and lone people to fight. They will not fight when they encounter the main force, but will run into the mountains as soon as their buttocks are turned. They are very passive.
Wuzhou said that it had been recovered, and the South Vietnamese had burned all the cities. They did not occupy the city themselves, which was equivalent to giving it to the Song army. What kind of recovery was it? As long as they left, it would still belong to their Guangyuan army, unless they took it. The Guangyuan army is destroyed or the city is built!
We fought well during the day and drove away the enemy, but these people will fight again at night
They came to harass and kept making trouble, which made Yang Wenguang's five thousand people very tired!
The weather at this time has reached the hottest time of the year. Wearing Fan Yangli is fine, but those who wear heavy armor will be fatal. The armor will be hot to touch!
It’s not that Yang Guangwen is afraid of these Guangyuan people. If he could form a formation with the enemy on some flat ground and come directly to the decisive battle, he would laugh, but the enemy is not Yes, the enemy will only play dirty tricks and consume their energy. If they do this for two more days, all their men will collapse!
The subordinates kept sending battle reports one after another. Either two soldiers died somewhere, or a few more were injured somewhere. Such news almost never stopped throughout the day. Although the number was small, they could not withstand such loss!
The resentment of the soldiers is getting bigger and bigger!
The Song soldiers are definitely the weirdest troops in the world!
Liang Chuan believed that this group of people had fighting power, but their fighting power was different from others. It was not based on military discipline and rules, but on money!
Those who can enter the Forbidden Army are all related households. They don't even think about going to war, but it is not impossible to fight, as long as the price is high enough!
It's like spending money to buy combat power!
The military pay was negotiated before the war, but under special circumstances, the price would be increased! The special circumstances here refer to particularly great military exploits and particularly difficult battles!
On the battlefield of the Northern Han Dynasty, it was said that the Song Dynasty was almost able to capture the city of the Northern Han Dynasty. However, the subordinates temporarily increased the price, but the officials refused to pay, and the fat that reached the mouth actually flew away. It was the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Why do soldiers dare to be so arrogant? It’s because they supported their official positions. Not to mention the fact that they can take away the credit, they can even take away the official posts. There’s nothing they dare not do!
Old soldier Youzi is so cruel!
Not to mention that Yang Wenguang is a general of the Yang family, even the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals are not easy to use! The Song Dynasty was all about economics. Brother Kong Fang had a lot of face, but other face was not easy to use!
He wanted to ask people to fight, but now everyone can't walk, how can they fight?
There was no other way. After having a headache for a few days, he also started to play tricks!
He started asking Wu Xin for equipment!
If you refuse to be given something, then you have to refuse to give it equipment, right?
The Song Dynasty always relied on these "advanced" weapons and equipment to win its foreign wars. Wu Xin refused to give them to him. If he lost, he would have to bear half of the blame!
Fight these monkeys, you can't catch them, archery is the best! Send another batch of divine arm bows. If you are not strong enough, come up with weapons!
Unexpectedly, Wu Xin had already seen through these little tricks!
Weapons are not easy!
The Song Dynasty was also a big arms country, but some people don’t know it!
Starting from the Zhenzong Dynasty, those in power realized the weakness of infantry warfare against cavalry warfare, so they began to work hard on weapons and equipment and vigorously developed science and technology. Over the past few decades, the Bureau of Ordnance and Gunpowder has become stronger and stronger, and their productivity It should not be underestimated either.
If we don’t produce weapons, how many officials will be unable to take the blame and wait to earn kickbacks from it!
Especially after the Khitans in the north stopped fighting, the productivity of several weapon units was still so high, but there was no place to consume these weapons!
Fortunately, there was another Xixia war later! Many officials in the court had another revelry, and many people in the court, including ordinary people, officials and soldiers, were all in tears.
As soon as the Xixia epidemic subsided, many people began to worry and were about to starve again. .
The result was good, Guangnan started fighting again. .
In short, there are enough weapons. Someone has calculated that the weapons and equipment produced in the Song Dynasty, if they were not destroyed, would be almost enough to support the war until the middle of the Ming Dynasty. . Once the arsenals in many places were opened, the weapons were still glowing with coldness until they were destroyed, and the soldiers on the front line were not even worthy of an unnotched knife. .
Give, give as much as you want, except for people, everything else is enough!
Yang Guangwen looked at that
A group of people with enough manpower to equip one divine arm bow were stunned. .
It's better than nothing. Crossbows are also easy to use. If someone can't shoot them, you can kill them!
With weapons, another fight can be fought.
Teng County was also recovered. .
They advanced for more than two hundred miles.
Wu Xin was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He wrote a lot of materials to Bianjing to ask for credit, and by the way, he could get some rewards and supplies. It was all money!
Wu Xin wanted to invite Yang Wenguang back for a drink, but Yang Wenguang refused no matter what!
The big talk he made about spilling wine in the first game has not been fulfilled now. Wu Xin, Sun Jie, Yuan Yong and others are waiting to see his jokes. When the time comes, they will definitely drink him again, and then trick him when he is drunk. If you say that, it will make it difficult for him to get off the tiger!
To lead an army as a general is to walk on thin ice, a jar will be broken without leaving a well, and a general will die before leaving the battle line. If one of them misses the mark one day, is defeated or dies, then even if he has won countless battles in his life, they will all be wiped out. How can you keep your reputation in the evening? If the champion is like that, he can only be like Guo Ziyi, but there is only one Guo Ziyi in a thousand years. .
He cannot afford to lose. Before his generation, the Yang family was full of tiger generals, but now it has become a single generation. He cannot afford to lose, nor can he afford to die!
After passing Xunzhou, there is Xiangzhou. Wu Xin's large army also began to move south from Guizhou in the north, preparing to meet together in Xiangzhou and launch a general attack on Yongzhou.
As long as he can hold on until Xiangzhou City, the battle will be half over. .
"Oh my God, my Yang family is full of loyal people and I have never done anything wrong. You have to let our Yang family fight hard this time!"
"General, shall we enter Xiangzhou?"
"Have you found out how many Guangyuan troops there are and where have these southern barbarians retreated?"
"Our spies have inquired clearly. The few barbarians have all escaped. What are they going to do with us? If we hurry up, if we can capture Yongzhou before General Wu, there will be no problem for the general to be promoted to three levels this time. !」
