After reading the battle report sent by Zhang Zhen, Zhang Chi was stunned for a while. The 14,000 gold troops that Sa Lihe brought to fight Wang Xiaolie were wiped out one by one by Zhang Zhen's regiment? This result was too unexpected.

Quite unexpected.

After a long time, Zhang Chi came to his senses and ordered Zhang Zhen to immediately lead his troops to Qingjian City to prepare for the attack on Yan'an Prefecture. Dantou Village and other places should be left to the management of the local Tibetan generals. In fact, in addition to Dantou Village, there are

How could Wang Xiaolie's army control many places such as Anding Fort?

Then he wrote a letter to Wang Xiaolie, asking him to come to Suide City quickly and take charge of the overall situation. Sa Lihe's army has been destroyed, and Shaanxi will inevitably be in chaos. Wang Xiaolie must come to Shaanxi quickly to reap the fruits of victory.

.If you move a little slower, your territory may be taken over by others.

After sending out the official document, Zhang Chi stood at the door and watched the cold wind howling outside. Thinking about entering Xu Dejun, he felt a little confused.

When they arrived at Yihe Village, they met Li Shifu who had captured Sa Lihe and somehow occupied Suide City. He discovered the Jin army and ordered Zhang Zhen to attack him. As a result, he fought at the foot of Guanshan in the first battle and in Qingjian City in the second battle.

The third battle was on the way to Dantou Village, and the fourth battle was at Dantou Village. From the official documents Zhang Zhenfa returned, it can be seen that he did not know that he was facing the main force of Salihe. Anyway, he would fight if there was a Jin army, and he would fight every time.

I won, and finally I was frightened after the results were calculated.

After taking a breath, Zhang Chi faced the village wind and straightened his chest.

Zhang Zhen's successive victories illustrate one thing. The combat effectiveness of these three regiments under his command is far beyond that of ordinary armies. It was previously estimated that each regiment could face the same number of enemy troops and win.

It is far from enough. Zhang Zhen's battle process shows that a regiment can be equivalent to at least 10,000 enemy troops, and even more enemy troops can be defeated.

Don't think it's impossible. During the Jingkang period, the ratio of the Jin army to the Song army was even more exaggerated than this. Ba Lisu and Yelu Ma had less than 50,000 people, but they ran across several routes and harmed dozens of state armies in the south of the Yangtze River. No one could do anything about them.

Wang Xiaolie's judgment on the combat effectiveness of his army is based on actual combat. Many battles have shown that Wang Xiaolie's army is indeed stronger than the Jin army, but not by much. Except for some elite troops, most of the army cannot do it one against two.

Concentrating all efforts on building up Jiang Min's troops finally yielded fruitful results. It can be said that Jiang Min's troops experienced a qualitative change and a leap in combat effectiveness. The current army can face the Jin Army, one against three, and has the upper hand.

With one against three, how many enemy troops can the 9,000 men under his command fight? At least 30,000. If the Song army surrenders, it will be even more.

Zhang Chi looked at the gloomy weather and thought to himself. After Wang Xiao hunted the Suide Army, he could go south with all his strength and attack Yan'an Prefecture. With Zheng Jian's 20,000 to 30,000 troops, he should not be able to stop him. If he captures Yan'an Prefecture, he will also occupy it.

The northern part of Shaanxi. What's more important is that the strength of the three divisions in the south can be freed to quickly occupy Jingzhao Mansion. They may even occupy Huanqing Road to the north and Fengxiang Mansion to the west.

At this moment, Li Yongqi hurried over. He saluted and said, "I wonder what Yu Houzhao wants to do with his subordinates?"

Zhang Chi said: "Come into the first floor and let's talk in the room."

Once inside the room, Zhang Chi invited Li Yongqi to sit down and ordered his soldiers to bring tea.

Obviously unlike the previous few days, Li Yongqi was very careful in front of Zhang Chi, with his butt just touching the chair and not daring to sit down. Seeing Zhang Chi packing away the teacups, Li Yongqi asked in a low voice: "I heard that Zhang Tongzhi won a great victory in Dantou Village.

I wonder if it’s true?”

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "You are very well informed. Yes, Zhang Zhen annihilated all 5,000 Jin troops in Dantou Village and achieved a great victory."

Li Yongqi took a breath and said: "Zhang Tongzhi destroyed many Jin troops along the way. Including Dantou Village, there are more than 10,000 people, right?"

Zhang Chi nodded: "Yes. Added up several times, there are 14,000 people."

Li Yongqi said with infinite emotion: "In the past, 14,000 gold troops were enough to capture the Yongxing Army. With more than 10,000 gold troops, who would dare to resist? The generals just surrendered. Now, with one commander,

I only had three to four thousand men under my command, but I wiped them all out. It sounds like a dream."

Zhang Chi smiled, looked up at Li Yongqi, and said nothing.

After pouring tea for Li Yongqi, Zhang Chi picked up the tea cup and just drank the tea without speaking.

Li Yongqi took a sip of tea and asked: "I wonder if Yu Hou has come down to his subordinates. What orders do you have?"

Zhang Chi put down the tea and said: "Now that the Jin Army has been eliminated, there should be no large group of Jin Army in Shaanxi. I want to go south to Yan'an Prefecture to meet Zheng Jianchong for a while. I will worry about the defense of Suide City. Suide

The many forts under our control are an important line of defense against the Xia Kingdom, so I know that the army will pay a lot of attention to them."

Li Yongqi hurriedly put down the tea cup and said: "Don't worry, Hou Hou! We have been running these forts for many years, and I can't say that they are all impregnable, but Xia Guo will never dare to commit a minor offence!"

Zhang Chi said: "Then I'll be relieved. In a few days, Xuanfu may come to Suide. You should be well prepared."

After hearing this, Li Yongqi said happily: "Is Xuanfu coming? I have heard about Xuanfu's reputation for a long time, but I just want to meet him!"

Zhang Chi smiled and chatted for a few more words before letting Li Yongqi leave.

For these local forces, the news of Zhang Zhen's battle was shocking, and it cannot be overestimated.

In the past, they thought that the Jin army was very strong and almost invincible. But facing the invincible Jin army, Zhang Zhen used 3,000 troops to wipe out 14,000 people. What does this mean? It means that their troops were defeated in the Song Dynasty.

He was vulnerable in front of the army. Looking at Zhang Chi's politeness on the surface, it was just because he was well-educated. What was he thinking in his heart? Li Yongqi and other Tibetan soldiers and generals were probably not worth mentioning.

At this time, the leader of the Xia Kingdom was Li Qianshun, and his politics were relatively clear. He was swinging between the Jin and Song Dynasties, and he could not offend either. If the Song army suddenly became stronger and reoccupied the border, it should not take the initiative to invade. Zhang Chi's actions were just for prevention.

Just in case.

After sitting at the table for a while, Zhang Chi ordered his soldiers to say: "Go and ask Zhong Ci and Gao Xin to come over."

Not long after, Zhong Ci and Gao Xin came in and saluted Zhang Chi together.

Seeing the two people arriving, Zhang Chi said: "Come and sit down. I want to hear your opinions on what to do next."

The two sat down. Gao Xin said: "Zhang Zhen won a great victory in Dantou Village. We think Yu Hou should have an idea of ​​what to do next."

Zhang Chi said: "Now the Jin army in Shaanxi has been completely wiped out, and the remaining puppet soldiers are insignificant. I am going to lead most of the troops south to Yan'an Prefecture and solve the Yanyan Road. In this way, the three divisions in the south can be free to capture Huanqing.

Lu He Jingzhao, Fengxiang Second Mansion. What do you think?"

Zhong Ci said: "The territory of Shaanxi Road is too big, and we don't have enough troops now. I heard that the South Road Army has captured Yanzhou, and we can ask them to send out a division to help us take Yan'an Prefecture. Some of the other troops will go west to take Huanqing.

Road, part of it takes Jingzhao Mansion."

Zhang Chi was silent for a while. After a while, he said: "If it is not necessary, it is better not to divide their troops. Or divide them less and help us take Yan'an Prefecture. Only two or three regiments will be enough. Xuan Fu's original intention

If we don't take Fengxiang, we only want the Yongxing military route. The situation has changed now, and Xuanfu may have changed his mind. The territory they want to gather is vast, so it would be better to have more soldiers."

Gao Xin said: "After the Battle of Dantou Village, our army is in full swing. Zheng Jianchong of Yan'an Prefecture is still in limbo whether he dares to fight or not."

Zhang Chi said with a smile: "We still have to prepare for him to fight. In Yan'an Prefecture, Zheng Jianchong can mobilize between 20,000 and 30,000 troops. It should be enough for us to dispatch 8,000 troops. The remaining two commanders will stay behind

Suide, just in case. After we leave, Gao Dujian will stay behind. If Xuanfu comes, you can leave again."

Gao Xin said yes.

Although Li Yongqi was careful, Zhang Chi didn't dare to let go. He left, but he still had to leave the army to guard Suide. Don't be like Sa Lihe. Wang Xiaolie didn't bring many soldiers and horses. If something unexpected happened, he would

not good.
