Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The northern part of Hebei, which was originally covered by war clouds, suddenly seemed to have great confidence.

The Xiang army, soldiers and civilians in those places, and even ordinary people, all ran after hearing the news.

On the evening of the [-]th, Yue Fei also received the news that His Majesty the Emperor was driving north, and there were [-] imperial guards brigade.

This undoubtedly gave Yue Fei great support!

Yue Fei was going to write a letter to Zhao Guan's family, asking where Yu Jia had been, but just after writing the letter, he received another letter from Zhao Guan's family.

Zhao Ning put it relatively simply in the letter: What should you do, you don't need to come to me.

Yue Fei immediately understood Zhao Ning's meaning. Zhao Guan's family did not want to affect Yue Fei's layout on the front line because of his personal conquest.

To put it simply: I am here to assist, and you, Yue Fei, have nothing to do and fight hard.

Yue Fei instantly felt relieved.

On the 21st, Zhao Ning arrived in Zhaozhou.

Li Cui, Zhaozhou's military commander, led a group of officers out of the city to meet Shengjia, accompanied by Zhaozhou's civil servants, big and small.

In the mid-autumn season, the vegetation in the north is already golden, and under the autumn sun in the afternoon, it exudes the smell of exhaustion.

Zhao Ning was dressed in light armor, wearing a cloak woven with gold threads, riding on a bloody horse, surrounded by the guard brigade, and walked forward all the way.

The Emperor's Imperial Guard Brigade, the military capacity is at its peak.

The Ping Japanese army transferred back from Jinghu also followed Zhao Ning to the north this time.

Zhang Bofen was also among them, and many veterans of the Shangdang War were still there.

They also often go to the border to switch defenses.

It's been five years since I didn't fight with the Jinren this year, and I was a little uncomfortable at first, but when I actually arrived at the border, I suddenly recalled the snowstorm in the third year of Jingkang.

"Your Majesty, I will see you, long live my emperor!"

A group of civil servants and generals in front were there.

Zhao Ning stopped, his expression was normal, he glanced around casually, and said, "Everyone is excused."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Why didn't I see Zhang Jun, the deputy commander of Zhaozhou's troops and horses?" Zhao Ning asked.

"Deputy Manager Zhang received the order from Yue Shuai to lead an army of [-] to Zhending for support." It was Zhaozhou Zhizhou Liu Zhisheng who spoke.

"So that's the case, then let him go."

"Your Majesty is on the road day and night, and the boats and vehicles are exhausted. The ministers and others have made arrangements. Please drive to the palace."

"Thank you, everyone," Zhao Ning said.

Along the way, Zhao Ning asked again: "Li Cue, I have a question to ask."

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"What's the current battle situation in Zhending Mansion?" Zhao Ning asked.

"After Niu Gao defeated the gold thief and regained Zhending, the temporary battle situation in Zhending Mansion."

"Are you sure you haven't found the whereabouts of the gold thief again?"

"Not found yet."

It seems that Zong Han is still forbearing!

But it should be soon, once Zong Han knows that he is the emperor's personal conquest, he will definitely jump out immediately, and he will never bear it anymore.

If Zong Han appeared, Yue Fei's target would be much clearer, and the whole battle situation would gradually become clearer.

"How is the frontier army recently?" Zhao Ning asked again.

Li Cue said: "The minister has been waiting for Yue Shuai's dispatch. As long as Yue Shuai gives an order, the minister and all the soldiers will immediately fight to the death with the Jinren!"

Zhao Ning remembered that Li Cue was with Zong Ze, and he was also picked up by Zong Ze.

This person is upright, and his relationship with Yue Fei should be good.

The so-called Zhaozhou military most likely refers to Zhang Jun's troops.

Of course, Zhang Jun was sent to the border because Zhao Ning did it on purpose.

One is to make a money bag, and the other is to investigate and deal with the time, the target is clear, and the people involved can be caught at once, which is convenient and quick.

Zhao Ning returned to the current thinking about Hebei's strategic deployment.

Yue Fei deployed a team in Zhending Mansion and another team in Zhongshan Mansion, so He Jian would naturally be there.

In Zhaozhou, there are still 2 horses left.

Obviously considering the depth of defense, he was worried that Zong Han would use cavalry to bypass Zhending Mansion and go south.

Whether it is offense or defense, Yue Fei considers military issues very comprehensively.

Chapter 748 Do something high-profile! (first update)

On August 22th, the autumn is crisp and clear.

Zhao Ning inspected the Zhaozhou frontier army in Zhaozhou with a high profile.

Uniform infantry squares are arrayed on the open plain, like rectangular pieces of iron.

Banners fluttered in the sky, and the bright armor flowed with a dazzling metallic luster under the sun.

Crossbow and arrow battalions, bow and arrow battalions, light infantry and infantry armor are intertwined with each other according to their inherent configuration.

At this time, the sound of war drums sounded, echoing in the open field.

About [-] cavalry, wearing iron armor, carrying bows and arrows, and wearing spears, rushed across the open space in front of the army.

The galloping momentum of the herd of horses was like a collapsing torrent. After the rapid impact, they bowed their bows and shot arrows in front, and then charged forward with guns, shouting and killing.

This kind of cavalry is like the golden man's kidnapped horse, wearing iron armor, but this kind of iron armor is not the same as the infantry armor, and it only weighs about twenty catties.

The standard equipment is a small bow and arrow, carbine, knife, and iron bones.

This is closely related to the role of this kind of cavalry on the battlefield.

Attack the two wings, first press the enemy with bows and arrows, and look for a breakthrough.

Once the enemy's defense has a breakthrough, quickly gather and charge.

When charging, look after the food and eat. If the enemy is not armored infantry, use a knife, and if the enemy is armored, use iron bones.

There are also some of these cavalry equipped with carbine guns more than two meters long. This type of cavalry is mainly used to deal with the opponent's cavalry.

This spear charge tactic was pioneered by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

Before Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, whether it was the cavalry of the Central Plains Dynasty or the nomadic peoples of the grasslands, most of them were inclined to mount and shoot.

It was not until the Wei Qing era, when the armament of the Han army was reformed, that the cavalry began to charge on a large scale.

As a result, the Huns were still riding and shooting with a hammer. As soon as the Han army charged up, the spears and spears told the Huns what they called you, Uncle Wei!

Later, the so-called Manchu riding to shoot the world is all nonsense.

The kidnapper horse of the Jin army is not specialized in riding and shooting, but shoots first at close range, disrupting the formation of the Liao army or the Song army, and charging immediately if there is a gap.

After all, the effective range of cavalry and archery is only about 30 meters. How can it be possible to kill the enemy on a large scale?

At this time, when the cavalry of the Song Army were charging, their aura was like a landslide.

Even the village ten miles away could faintly hear it.

After the charge, the cavalry corps began to gather methodically at the fastest speed, and finally all returned to their original places.

The battle drums ahead continued.

Next came the assault of the infantry corps.

The assault mode of the infantry regiment is more complicated than that of the cavalry, and a large number of crossbowmen and light infantry advance to the destination in a mighty manner.

This is a test of the infantry regiment's coordination ability. If the military discipline is not good, it will collapse during the rapid movement.

Zhao Guanjia was sitting on the high platform, and he was looking at the front attentively. Jing Chao and the other officials in front of the palace were guarding him, and Gao Yu was on the side.

Gao Qiu kept admiring: "Under His Majesty's wise leadership, the imperial army of the Great Song Dynasty is a hundred times stronger than before. I don't think I have seen such a grand scene when I was in the northwest."

"Taiwei Gao's words are pleasant to listen to!" Zhao Ning laughed.

"My minister said from the bottom of my heart, now we have millions of soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, and the army is as strong as a cloud. As long as His Majesty gives an order, the soldiers will go north to crush the gold thieves!"

Zhao Ning just smiled and didn't speak.

He stared ahead.

A group of civil and military officials are on both sides below.

Of course, Zhao Ning's military parade is not for showing off, let alone to support himself after eating.

The most important purpose is to build momentum.

While the military parade was taking place, the Zhao official family's imperial conquest was being promoted everywhere.

Newspapers from all over the country emerged one after another, and the thunder was very loud.

Some newspapers even published the news that Zhao Guanjia might lead an army of one million to go north to Zhending, and then to attack Yanyun in the north.

However, this newspaper was withdrawn after it was published for half a day, and then all non-governmental newspapers were recovered.

Is this further proof that the news is true?

Zhao Ning was desperately doing high-profile affairs in Zhaozhou, and the busiest ones were of course the secret workers of Jin Ren.

The current situation is very interesting.

Blood flowed on the eastern front, while both sides on the western front had a large number of soldiers and horses, but they were so peaceful that they could be awarded an award.

And Zhao Guan's family was so high-profile in Zhaozhou that it almost pierced the sky.

On the evening of August 24th, in a mansion in Gucheng at the junction of Shenzhou and Qizhou, it was singing and dancing.

A slender beauty with little clothes on is twisting her graceful figure.

In the middle sat a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears. He was drinking wine while admiring the beautiful woman obsessively.

Not long after, a person came in and said: "Mr. Wang, why are you still here? The notice from above has come down. Now Qizhou is buying a large amount of military rations!"

"How anxious are you!" Wang Can said impatiently.

"The higher-ups have come to urge you three times and five times, and you have the most food here!"

"Let me tell you, Zhang Ling, you are a little supervisor, don't you manage a little too much?" Wang Can said.

"Mr. Wang, I am also doing it for your own good. If I offend the people above, it will be hard."

Wang Can laughed loudly and said, "Who is offending? The people above? You go and find out, who is I, Wang Can!"

"But now it's the imperial court's order." Zhang Ling thought for a while, but insisted.

"Hahaha, the imperial court?" Wang Can laughed loudly, "You are new here, I don't blame you, I will save face for you, get out now!"

Still biting the bullet, Zhang Ling said, "Your Majesty, I am under orders from the imperial court..."

Wang Can suddenly lifted the table, and the melons, fruits, wine and vegetables on it spilled all over the floor.

The dancers stepped aside in fright.

Wang Can walked over and slapped Zhang Ling on the face.

Several people around laughed, and one of them, Zhou Yun, sneered and said, "You young man, you don't know the rules. What kind of place is this?"

Another person named Tang Gan said: "This is Drum City!"

The third person named Sun Xiu said: "Who is the sky in this Drum City! It's Wang Guanren! Do you know who is behind Wang Guanren?"

"That's Zhaozhou's military, you little Zhima officer, how dare you act presumptuously here!"

"Get out! If you don't get out, I'll kill you!"

Gucheng is located at the junction of Qizhou, Zhaozhou and Shenzhou, and it belongs to Qizhou to be precise.

In the past few years, Qizhou was controlled by the Jin army. Strictly speaking, it was the intersection of the two powers, and it was very chaotic.

When Jin Guo took over Qizhou, he didn't set up officials in Gucheng at all, everything was controlled by this Wang Can.

It is said that there are only [-] people under him, and they collect road money from passing merchants.
