Chapter 269 Fight to the Death!(2/2)
"this……"
Zhu Meng said for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
Yu Yin's answer made him really not know what to say. The Tokyo Imperial Army was originally the most elite unit of the Song army. In order to weaken the military power of the vassal states, Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin ordered the transfer of elite troops from the vassal states to form the imperial states.
The Tokyo Imperial Army at that time was indeed amazing in combat.
But now, the 800,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo are famous for their reputation and are simply unbearable for battle.
Field battle?
There are really 800,000 imperial guards. Just based on the current situation of the imperial guards, I am afraid that it is just a meat bun to beat a dog, so I will go but never return...
"In my opinion, the government may not choose to fight in the field.
Kaifeng City has high walls and is not dangerous to defend, but if you fight on a strong city, the enemy may not be able to break through. As long as you can delay some time, the enemy will arrive. At that time, the enemy will not dare to continue to entangle."
"Well, there's some truth."
Zhu Meng nodded and agreed with Yu Yin’s statement.
"In this way, we, Mutuogang, may not be able to hold on for too long."
"Yes, as I think, after most of the horses and baggage in the camp are removed, they can be withdrawn to Kaifeng City."
"In this way, I will go back to the city immediately. Try to find more cars and wars."
Yu Yin said, "Let me ask Dalang."
To be honest, things have developed to this point a little beyond Yu Yin's expectations.
I originally thought that I could go to the sour jujube to resist the Jin soldiers, but I didn't know that the Song army was so vulnerable, and the speed of the Jin army's southward was too amazing. In ten days, or even less than ten days, the Jin army arrived at the bank of the Yellow River. Not only did they occupy Junzhou, but they also crossed the river and seized the Baimajin... In this way, it would be useless to go to the sour jujube.
Should we say that the Jin army is brave or the Song army is incompetent?
Yu Yin sat in the big tent, rubbing her temples gently... It turned out that this was a war, but it was more complicated than I thought.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At noon, Gao Yaoqing, Gao Chong and He Yuanqing escorted more than 200 people back to Moutuogang.
The Qunmushi was originally affiliated with Taipu Temple, but during the Zhenghe period, Ma Zheng was assigned to the Privy Council and included in the Ministry of War.
The Minister of War Li Gang was appointed and was in a hurry to handle official duties.
When he heard that there was a plate of loose sand in Tiansijian, a large-scale escape occurred. Li Gang was immediately furious.
However, he was quite clear. In addition, he had reconciled with Yu Yin before and cooperated twice, so he did not blame Yu Yin.
Besides, although Yu Yin is named Tiansi Supervisor, he belongs to the Palace Front Office.
He saved the prince again last night. Even if Li Gang really wanted to cause trouble for Yu Yin, he had to think twice before he could do it.
Li Gang immediately asked Gao Yaoqing and the other two to arrest deserters according to the list. They all seduced one official, and the escort officer was blocked at home and tied up with ropes. The seducer was not found. It is said that after leaving Moutuogang, he fled to Luoyang overnight.
At this time, Li Gang didn't have time to send someone to Luoyang to arrest such a seizure official.
So I wrote down the man's name and prepared to settle the accounts after the autumn.
Except for the two officials, as long as the deserters who fled back to Kaifeng Prefecture, no one left was left. Some people were left missing. It was not easy for many people to be arrested.
Fortunately, Yu Yin didn't care. When he heard that these people were caught, he ignored them and ordered them to be killed outside the gate!
Two hundred and eighteen heads fell to the ground, which made Tiansijian, which had been in chaos, suddenly quieted down. Yu Yin used these two hundred and eighteen heads to warn those people to stay honestly, otherwise he would be a murderer.
As Yu Yin guessed, that afternoon, the Ministry of War sent an order to prepare for the war with all its might!
During the morning court, Emperor Qinzong was persuaded by Li Bangyan and others and was about to move to Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing, but was strongly blocked by the new censor Chen Guoting. Then Li Gang and others denounced Li Bangyan and even talked about the pros and cons of Zhao Huanchen, which finally made Zhao Huan decide to fight. Li Gang was appointed to be fully responsible for the battle in Kaifeng. If anyone else said he would escape, he could be executed first and then report.
Li Gang was ordered to organize Kaifeng people to repair masts and oars, place artillery mounts and crossbows, and prepare to rely on Kaifeng's high walls and strong city to fight to the death with the Jurchens. Then, he took over the imperial guards from Gao Qiu, and equipped 12,000 imperial guards on all sides of the capital, supplemented by the wing army and Baojia militia to assist in defense. The 40,000 cavalry and infantry soldiers are the five armies in front, back, left and right, and Jin Mingchi 8,000 navy, practicing day and night. It is ridiculous to say that now, practice is basically just a temporary cram. But there is no way. It is better to have Buddha feet to hold than not...
Subsequently, Li Gang ordered the deployment of the front army outside Tongjin to ensure the safety of Yanfeng Cang.
The rear army was stationed outside Chaoyang Gate and was responsible for defending the shallowest and narrowest area of Fanjiagang, the moat in Kaifeng, so that the Jin soldiers would not approach the city gate.
The order Yu Yin received was even simpler: to ensure that the 120,000 stones of grain, grass and supplies in the Moutuogang military camp should be safely transferred to Yanfeng Cang, and the 9,800 and twelve war horses in Tiansi Supervisory should also be transferred as much as possible to be sent to Yuetai for handover.
After the baggage and horses were transferred, Yu Yinze led his troops to station in Fanjiagang...
When Yu Yin received this order, she couldn't help but bare her teeth.
"Let the more than 600 people in Tiansijian be responsible for driving the vehicles, ordering the troops of the imperial camp to load the vehicles... and find vehicles as much as possible, and be sure to transfer food and supplies as soon as possible. Before these things have been resolved, we must stick to this place."
Niu Gao couldn't help asking, "What should I do if the thief comes?"
Zhu Meng said that after thinking about it, "The vanguards are just successful in crossing the river. If all the troops cross the Yellow River, it may take several days. In addition, the White Horse is still under the control of the Song army. I heard that Cao Rong and Cao Ning, the commander of Huazhou, are also rare generals. I think they may not be able to capture the thief, but at least they can restrain the captured thief soldiers and horses.
In this way, it will take at least five to seven days for the enemy to reach Kaifeng. We will step up our actions, which will be enough to transfer these baggages."
Cao Rong, Cao Ning...
Yu Yin always felt that these two names sound familiar.
Seeing Dong Xian's gloomy face, he suddenly remembered that Dong Xian had worked in Jinan Prefecture before, and it was said that he was suppressed by offending someone. By the way, he just called Cao Rong! No, it seems that it was not because of this incident...
Yu Yin really couldn't remember it, and time didn't wait for anyone. It was not easy to transfer 9,800 horses and 120,000 stones of food and grass in five to seven days. It was not an easy task. It must be stepped up, and we should try our best to find a car and a car.
This is also Li Gang. If you want me to transfer my baggage, I don’t deserve it. How can I transfer it?
However, Li Gang is now the Minister of War and the commander of the Four Walls of Kaifeng, and is fully responsible for Kaifeng's defense. Even Yu Yin was dissatisfied and could only hold on. Fortunately, we still have a Gao Yanei in our hands, so we couldn't say that we could use it.
"Dalang, Shaoyang, Sanlang!"
"There's a humble person."
"The transfer of food and grass and horses will be left to you and the three of you to take charge.
I will ask Ji Qing to lead the miscellaneous soldiers to assist Wang Minque, who is responsible for protecting the safety of the baggage and horses, and must transfer all the baggage before the enemy arrives."
Zhu Meng said that the three of them looked at each other, and then Zhu Meng said that the eyes of Chen Dong fell on Gao Yaoqing.
These two people are so smart, how can you not hear Yu Yin’s meaning?
I just arrange the task, and how to complete it is the business of you three...
Gao Yaoqing smiled bitterly, "Xiao Yi, I suddenly felt that I had come to the wrong place... Well, I left the car war to me to take charge. I dare not say how many car wars I could find, but I just said that I would try my best to find car wars. However, these people alone may not be able. Xiao Yi would better try to find more people to avoid delaying major issues at that time." (To be continued)
