Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Your Majesty, this is to..."

"The imperial court always has to make preparations in advance. I just want to go to Japan to dig gold. If the Japanese are unwilling to cooperate, there must be a way to persuade them to cooperate, isn't there?"

"Your Majesty is right, but the old minister lacks consideration."

"Let's wait for news from Qian Yuqing." Zhao Ning said, "But the Military and Political Council can now send people to Hangzhou to contact the private shipyards, and compile one for the imperial court. The ship must be built in advance. As for the cost, it will follow the normal military expenses. yes."

"Yes."

"This matter is temporarily confidential, I don't want Japan to misunderstand."

"I know it."

On the evening of March [-]th, a group of people suddenly came to Siming Prefecture at the junction of the Great Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi.

On the same day, Siming Prefecture was taken over by the army.

In the next few days, a large number of grain merchants on Guangnan West Road secretly transported grain in Siming Prefecture and hoarded it into the military camp.

Batch after batch of Song troops also secretly arrived in Siming Prefecture.

Then came the military and civilians in charge of logistics.

On March [-]th, Wu Lin, who was still in Yongzhou, asked Yan Pei to check the number of horses.

"There are [-] horses in total, right?"

"That's right, all of these were bought from the Southwest Tea and Horse Company, basically Dali horses." Yan Pei said, "Zhang Bangchang told the subordinates that he dug three feet to find these, and there are really no more. Yes, more than half of the horses from the Southwest Tea Horse Division were given to us this year."

"How well are these people trained?"

"Training for a month, you can make an assault on a horse, but it is impossible to bend a bow and shoot an arrow on a horse."

"Enough is enough. They don't need a strong impact. They are more than enough to deal with the Cochin Army."

In fact, the main task of this group of cavalry is not to defeat the Jiaozhi army head-on, but to pursue after the main infantry defeated the Jiaozhi army, and to wipe out the enemy's vital forces to a greater extent.

Wu Lin stood up, looked at the generals in the room, and said: "Jiaozhi slaughtered 30 people in the Song Dynasty. Although Guo Kui defeated Jiaozhi, the Jiaozhi Kingdom is still in the southwest, and often robs the people of the Song Dynasty as slaves. The crime of Jiaozhi has been announced to the world, and this commander wants to go south with the lords to destroy Jiaozhi, settle in the southwest, and avenge those Song people who were murdered by Jiaozhi!"

The 30 that Wu Lin mentioned was the atrocities committed by Jiaozhi Northward to massacre the city on Guangnan West Road during the Shenzong period.

Everyone shouted with the same hatred: "Destroy Jiaozhi, and swear to avenge the country!"

After saying that, Wu Lin and others also set off for Siming Prefecture.

The coach has left Yongzhou, and the news may spread to Jiaozhi in a short time.

So Wu Lin must be fast!

On March [-], the forward battalion of the Song Army crossed the border between the two sides and quickly entered Jiaozhi.

At this time, Jiaozhi didn't know that Song Jun had already arrived.

Chapter 568 The Song Army Assaulted (Part [-])

On the evening of March 21, Liangzhou, Cochin State.

Zhang Lingcheng had just arrived at the boundary of Liangzhou, and he was very proud when he saw those people who came to welcome him in costumes.

As the son of Zhang Boyu, the privy envoy of the Jiaozhi Kingdom, he naturally held great power.

Zhang Boyu sent him here with the intention of secretly pulling a large army around Liangzhou to prepare for the later military operations.

"Congratulations to Zhang Shilang." Ding Zhuangjie, the commander of the Jiaojun, said loudly, with a flattering smile on his face.

"There's no need to be too polite." Zhang Lingcheng rode on the horse and looked at Ding Zhuangjie with a disdainful smile on his face, "How many soldiers and horses does Director Ding have here?"

"Responding to Zhang Shilang's words, there are currently three thousand soldiers, and a total of 2 soldiers and civilians."

"From today onwards, all this place will be under the jurisdiction of this official, and you will also be under the jurisdiction of this official. This is an order from the imperial court."

"Yes!"

"In addition, to recruit another 4 soldiers and civilians in Liangzhou, we need to raise [-] people."

"Why is this?"

Zhang Lingcheng did not answer him, but said: "The court will continue to send troops here."

"Does the imperial court want to..."

"That's right, the imperial court intends to send troops to the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty to recover Guangdong and Guangxi." Zhang Lingcheng was rather generous, "Your chance to make contributions has come!"

Ding Zhuangjie was stunned, thinking he had heard wrong.

"Why?" Zhang Lingcheng said, "You don't believe me?"

"No, no, it's not that the general doesn't believe it. The general just feels a little surprised. Now that the Boyi field between the two countries has been added, why are there still wars?"

"Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked, just go to the conscription!"

"I heard that a new economic envoy has come to Guangnan West Road, will it be difficult to fight?"

"Of course we have all investigated, Song Jun is nothing to worry about." Zhang Lingcheng is very confident.

Zhang Lingcheng continued: "At that time, I plan to send you as the vanguard to take down Siming Prefecture in the Song Dynasty and march to Yongzhou. If you do well, it is not impossible to be promoted to Taiwei!"

When Ding Zhuangjie heard this, he was overjoyed: "Yes! Thank you Zhang Shilang for his promotion, the general will go through fire and water in the end, and he will do whatever he wants!"

"By the way, this is the first time this official has come to Langzhou. Is there a beautiful lady here?" Zhang Lingcheng showed a look that any man could understand.

"Yes! Yes!" Ding Zhuangjie also laughed, with the kind of eyes that men can understand, "The last general has already made arrangements for Zhang Shilang, please come here."

Zhang Lingcheng was very satisfied, he patted Ding Zhuangjie on the shoulder: "Ding Taiwei..."

"Yo, I can't help it, how dare the last general call himself a captain now."

"Hey, the position of Taiwei is reserved for you, hurry up and train the troops!"

Ding Zhuangjie immediately puffed up his chest and patted his chest: "Don't worry Zhang Shilang, Liangzhou's soldiers are strong and strong. Even if the Song army comes here early tomorrow morning, the last general will be able to wipe them out immediately!"

"Okay!" Zhang Lingcheng was also quite proud. Before coming, Shenglong City said that Liangzhou was an important frontier fortress, and the military affairs were complicated, so he couldn't handle it well.

Now it seems that this is not very simple?

There is nothing wrong with it!

"I heard that the lady in the country of Song is more beautiful. When the time comes, hit up and grab a few more!" Zhang Lingcheng laughed loudly, "I'll bring you a few more too!"

"Hahaha, Zhang Shilang is a man of temperament! Let's go!"

As night fell, Lang Son gradually lost its outline.

Yan Pei personally served as the forward officer of the Song Army.

There were 3000 people in the Qianfeng Battalion. Except for the five hundred elites brought by Wu Lin from the northwest, the rest were all the strongest group recruited locally from Guangnan West Road.

After several months of training, although he has never really killed anyone on the battlefield, he is much stronger than ordinary people when he really fights.

The Song army marched very fast.

To use what Zhao Ning said in the martial arts hall: the victory in war lies in the speed of marching.

Naturally, this is not Uncle Zhao's military philosophy, but Napoleon's consistent style.

The Da Song Lecture Hall has formed a relatively complete military system.

For example, the tactics for fighting the Northwest and Hebei are different from the tactics for fighting Liaodong, and the tactics for fighting the Southwest will naturally be different.

The southwest is located in a remote place, and the heat and humidity in Cochin is unbearable.

The source of soldiers must be recruited from Guangnan West Road. The people here are very fierce, but they lack unified management.

And before the expedition, the Military and Political Council and the Privy Council conducted an analysis of all the military cases of the Central Plains dynasty's crusade against the Southwest in the past.

Wu Lin himself also agreed with the court's suggestion: go into battle lightly!

The Great Song Dynasty once conquered Jiaozhi twice.

The first time was Zhao Guangyi's era, when the Great Song Dynasty basically recovered everything except Yan Yun.

The imperial court turned its attention to Annan, which originally belonged to China, that is, Jiaozhi.

So they sent troops to fight, so they lost, and then the independence of Jiaozhi was recognized internationally.

The second time is Song Shenzong.

Guo Kui summoned an army of 30 troops to the southwest and defeated Jiaozhi in Fuliang River.

However, Song Jun fell ill and was forced to withdraw his troops. For this reason, Guo Kui was demoted by Song Shenzong after returning to the court.

However, whether it is Ma Yuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty or Yang Sixu of the Tang Dynasty, they all have one characteristic when dealing with Jiaozhou: fast!

Unexpectedly fast!

This is determined by the topography of Jiaozhi. Going out from Guangnan West Road and entering the boundary of Jiaozhi, there are rolling mountains.

If a large number of troops are sent to cover the sky and cover the sky, the marching speed will be greatly reduced. In this way, Jiaozhi will get the information very early and lay an ambush in a dangerous position in advance, making it difficult to fight.

However, Yan Pei now only has 3000 people, and his luggage is only a quarter of the same number of troops during Shenzong's period.

In this way, the marching speed can be doubled.

Starting on March 22, until the early morning of March [-], it pierced into the hinterland of Langzhou like a sharp sword.

It was still daylight, the soldiers were sleeping, and there was no sign of a merchant on the side of the road.

Langzhou City was silent.

The local cities of Jiaozhi Kingdom are not the same as those of Song Dynasty.

Although it is a borderland, the city walls of Langzhou are small, and some parts have even broken down due to disrepair.

This is very common in neighboring countries. In Champa Kingdom, apart from the royal city, only Indrapra and Bintonglong have walls, and there are only three cities in total.

People in other places either have walls built with wood or have nothing at all.

While Liangzhou was still sleeping, Yan Pei made a decisive attack.

Under the leadership of local guides, they fought all the way through the collapsed city walls.

Suddenly, there was loud shouting and killing, and the tranquility was broken.

Ding Zhuangjie and his army were awakened from their deep sleep.

"It's not good! The enemy is coming!"

Someone yelled, and all the confused people around suddenly panicked.

They didn't figure out what happened at all, they just heard the shouts of killing, and everyone was in a mess.

This is normal, if you are sleeping at home, suddenly thousands of people shouting and killing at the same time outside, you will definitely be awakened, and then be at a loss.

And the closer the shouting, the more nervous you are.

This is the case with the military now.

Zhang Lingcheng was still holding the woman in his arms, and he opened his eyes in a daze.

Chapter 569 Kill Unforgiven (Second Change)

Although it was not yet dawn, it did not prevent Song Jun from creating panic.

Jiaojun was indeed frightened.

Zhang Lingcheng got up from the bed, pushed away the naked women on both sides, and jumped off the bed by himself.

"Someone! Somebody!"

Zhang Lingcheng opened the door and roared loudly.

Amidst the shouts of thousands of soldiers from the Song army, the people outside were obviously in a mess.

After the two women woke up, they were also frightened and at a loss in the room.

Ding Zhuangjie immediately put on his armor. When he went out, there was already chaos outside. There were shouts of killing and screams again. The flames shot up into the sky, and the figures were shaking. It was impossible to distinguish the situation.

At first, a small part of the warring troops wanted to resist, but they had no way of resisting without even knowing the basic situation.

Ding Zhuangjie originally wanted to escape with his personal guards, but thinking that Zhang Lingcheng seemed to be still in his residence, he planned to take Zhang Lingcheng with him.

But then I thought about it, would I not be able to escape like this?

Simply lead people away directly.

However, the situation is obviously worse than Ding Zhuangjie predicted.

Liangzhou was originally a very small city. During the Song Shenzong era, the Song army entered the country of Jiaozhi, and the road was like a broken bamboo. Most of these cities were damaged, not repaired for a long time, and the place was narrow.
