Chapter 103 The Battle Begins!The Blitz that came out N years in advance! (for collection)

Xiao Qi is well aware of the importance of military strength and speed. For this reason, he began to study how to achieve maximum results with the minimum losses a long time ago.

After a long period of research, Xiao Qi decided to reverse the strategy used by the dynasties in history to unify the country.

In the past, all dynasties went from north to south, using the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the front line of Xiangyang Prefecture to break through the Yangtze River defense line and finally unify the whole country.

This time, he will do the opposite. He will raise troops from Chuzhou, with the brave army as the vanguard on the shore, and quickly attack the important towns around the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

Those bulky trebuchets, gunpowder and clay pots that were not dared to be transported quickly by land for fear of bumps were all loaded onto ships and headed north via the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

This not only ensures the safe and rapid transportation of strategic materials, but also makes it faster and larger than road transportation.

Orders were given to quickly advance northward, mainly relying on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and reach the Yellow River. After establishing effective defenses, they quickly attacked east-west to capture major towns.

Supplemented by the Tongji Canal (also known as the Bian River in the Song Dynasty), another army horse went north along the Tongji Canal and quickly hit Luoyang City all the way.

Then start from Luoyang and go all the way north to attack important towns, until you take Kaifeng, Tokyo, and Gongyi County, where the Song Dynasty imperial mausoleum is located.

Xiao Qi's orders to all his subordinates can be summed up in one word, hurry up!

He intends to use the method of the mustache who has plagued the whole of Europe hundreds of thousands of years later.

He wants those golden people to wake up and find that the place where they are is already the land of Song Dynasty.

Of course, since you want to use blitzkrieg, your offense must be sharp.

None of the sergeants in the Changsheng Battalion were afraid of war, but not being afraid of war did not mean that they were invincible and invincible.

For this reason, Xiao Qi gathered all the trebuchets built these days and nearly 2 people trained to operate the trebuchets.

Among these people, those who are proficient in operation and can be proficient in loading clay pot bombs will be promoted directly to the captain and deputy captain.

They were asked to lead 50 people to operate a trebuchet with two generals and deputy generals, and gave these 2 people an awesome name 'Great Song Vulcan Army'.

Divide the [-] Vulcan Army into two parts, one half goes north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the other half goes north along the Tongji Canal.

The brave cavalry army, which now totaled [-], was also divided into two parts, half of which was [-] cavalry, leading [-] infantry troops northward from the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

The other half of the cavalry led another [-] infantry troops northward along the Tongji Canal, and the remaining [-] infantry troops stayed in Chuzhou, Chuzhou, and Haozhou.

Xiao Qi understood that as long as he played well in the front, even if there were only 5000 people left in the three places, there would be no problem.

In the next ten or so days, Xiao Qi asked for all the official and civilian ships that could be found.

Because he is now the Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition, commanding all the Song armies in the north, officials from all over the country did not dare to shirk, and quickly mobilized nearly [-] large and small ships.

Xiao Qi spent ten days in the big tent, telling these generals that on their way north this time, they were not allowed to delay except for rest and siege time, and they had to move north quickly.

The method is very simple. The brave army drives all the golden soldiers from various places along the way to the nearby big city.

Then the infantry who came by boat and the "Song Vulcan Army" immediately attacked the city, took down the city and quickly cleared the battlefield, leaving a small part of the infantry to defend the city, and the rest of the Changsheng Battalion continued to go north.

Explain clearly to these dozens of generals that everyone needs to lead their subordinates what to do, and multiple assessments have made them all firmly remember.

After Xiao Qi arrived in Chuzhou City and prepared for half a month, the Song Dynasty army suddenly divided into two groups and crossed the Huai River at midnight, heading north.

Xiao Qi ordered Lin Zheng and Ma Shoucheng to be the principal and deputy commanders of the Right Route Army, and lead 5000 people along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to the north.

He led Zhang Jiangong and Qin Tu, and another 5000 people, went north along the Tongji Canal, and captured Kaifeng, the original capital of the Song Dynasty, and Gongyi, where the old Zhao family's ancestral grave was located.

The Song army's attack this time was indeed as Xiao Qi predicted before, and it was like a broken bamboo all the way.

Many unlucky Jin soldiers didn't know what happened. When they woke up, they found that their army had disappeared, and the place where they were located had been taken over by Da Song.

Xiao Qi also knew that with the hundreds of thousands of people in the Changsheng Battalion alone, it was okay to charge and kill, but it was a bit stretched to take over the territory while attacking the city.

So before setting off, he asked Zhao Shen to prepare officials at all levels to call up the army and prepare to take over the territory.

As a result, not only Zhao Shen and Zhao Gou and his son, but also all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, did not expect that it had only been ten days since the Marquis of Zhenbei sent troops to cross the Huai River and go north.

The good news came like snowflakes, and there were even two or three good news in a day, all of which were for the court to send officials as soon as possible to lead the army to take over the northern prefectures and counties of Huaishui.

At the beginning, those ministers also said that Xiao Qi lied about his military achievements, how could it be so fast, not to mention that the Jin army has always been a brave and good fighter they think is difficult to deal with.

Even if you, Xiao Qi, run with Chang Sheng Ying, you can't run so fast, right?

Not all of your Ever-Victorious Battalion are cavalry troops, how could you take over ten prefectures and counties in just ten days!

Not to mention that the officials of the Song Dynasty didn't believe it, and the ministers of the Jin Kingdom didn't believe it either!

Those ministers just got the news that the envoys sent by the Jin State to the Song State were killed by the Song people. Not only did they kill all the [-] gold soldiers in the mission, but they also built a Jingguan!

They were clamoring to send troops to the Song Dynasty in the court hall of the Kingdom of Jin, killing the people of the Song Dynasty in the capital and massacring the city to vent their anger.

From all over the south, emergency documents came one after another, each of which said that the "demon god" of the Song Dynasty led the army to break through which county.

These Jin ministers, including the King of Jin, Wan Yanyong, were stunned. Why did this army, which was so used to fighting in Jin, suddenly become a piece of paper?

Could it be that the officials in those places had a different heart, and they quickly opened the city and surrendered as soon as the Song army arrived?

They never expected that before Xiao Qi started the attack, he ordered all the prefectures on the Huai River line to cross the north bank of the Huai River after receiving the news of the start of the attack from the direction of Chuzhou, and take down the Jin Guo prefecture on the north bank of the Huai River. , Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!

This is equivalent to the entire Huai River line, attacking the Kingdom of Jin together, although only two groups of troops from Xiao Qi's Changsheng Battalion drove straight in.

But the troops along the Huai River in the Kingdom of Jin were all stunned. None of them dared to send troops casually to aid other places, for fear that if they sent troops to other places, their city would be lost in the end!

Therefore, those Jin people who had never encountered such a large-scale attack, no one dared to act rashly, and they all shrank their troops to relatively large cities, waiting for orders from the imperial court and reinforcements.

This is convenient for Xiao Qi and the others, the golden man's shrinking policy is in Xiao Qi's hands.

What he originally formulated was to push forward quickly and gather the Jin people into the big city to wipe them out in one fell swoop. With the unintentional cooperation of the Jin people, it was carried out perfectly.

Those Jin people have long heard that the "Devil God" army led by the "Devil God" is simply invincible in horse battles.

They intend to learn from the way the Han people dealt with their ancestors in the past, fortify the walls and clear the country, and concentrate all their vitality in the prefectural city with tall walls.

Relying on the tall and solid city walls to consume the vitality of the 'Magic God' legion.

They thought very well, even if the siege side won, they would pay a price of three to one to five to one.

Those golden generals even took their subordinates from the golden army and clamored on the top of the city, wanting to let the "devil god" and his "devil god" army have a taste of the power of the golden warriors!

It didn't take long for them to yell at the big Song cavalry troops under the city before they saw a mass of Song army infantry coming from behind.

The strange thing is that those Song Army infantry carried the ladders used to climb the city, and stopped just an arrow away from the city wall.

Seeing them all sitting on the ground, talking and laughing, some even took out dry food and water bags to fill their stomachs.

The Jin soldiers on the top of the city thought that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were afraid of their bows and arrows, and they were shouting triumphantly.

Someone noticed that behind these pawns, the things unloaded from hundreds of carts were quickly assembled into trebuchets.

But soon they stopped worrying, because those trebuchets were too small, and such trebuchets could only throw stones weighing tens of catties, and if the stones weighed more than fifty catties, they would probably hit those below who were preparing to attack Song Dynasty. In the human infantry, there is no need to be afraid!

　The next chapter is about to be written. The blitzkrieg will be combined with homemade bombs to attack the fortified battle. If you guys have any suggestions, I hope you can give them to the author. This is the first time for a rookie author to write a historical article, and there will definitely be many omissions. Welcome and thank you guys Criticize suggestions.But the rookie hopes that even if you scold me for not writing well, you will point out the mistakes, so that even if I am scolded, I will know where I am wrong, right? You can scold me freely, and I can learn something.However, the rookie author refuses to spray without thinking, and if he just wants to swear for fun, please make a detour.
