Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Brother Yue, generals, this is the situation of Datong's defense!" Dong Xian spread out a map and said.

At present, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Liu Kai and others watched and discussed carefully.

"Now there are about 10,000 Jurchen troops here!" Dong Xian said.

"Ten thousand people? Are they a pure Jurchen army, or are they a newly attached army composed of Khitan people?" Yue Fei asked.

"All of them! There are more Jurchens." Dong Xian said.

"Who is the defender of Datong?" Yue Fei asked.

"The guard is Jurchen Zhao Wang Wanyan Zongjie! Besides Wanyan Zongjie, Wanyan Balisu is the deputy general!" Dong Xian said.

Yue Fei beckoned, and at that moment another officer stepped forward and explained to everyone the details of Wanyan Zongjie and Wanyan Ba's departure. Wanyan Zongjie was the tenth son of Jurchen Taizu Wanyan Aguda, and Wanyan Wu begged to succeed him. Later, he was named King Zhao. When Wanyan Aguda fought in the world, Wanyan Zongjie was still young, so Wanyan Zongjie did not follow Wanyan Aguda to fight together. However, Wanyan Zongjie and Wanyan Zongbi had a very good relationship, and he was also a female The main combat faction among the real people has always disagreed with negotiating peace with the Han people. Wanyan Balisu is Wanyan Yinshuke's younger brother, with super powerful force, extraordinary! After Wanyan Yinshuke's death, Wanyan Balisu first served as a left-behind in Taiyuan, and then came to Datong last year.

This information was investigated by the Intelligence Department and passed on to the various armies! Over the years, the intelligence department has collected all the information about the important generals of the Jurchens, and has a deep understanding of the personality, temperament, etc. of the important people!

After hearing these words, Yue Fei nodded.

When the two armies are fighting, they must know themselves and the enemy, and the temperament of the enemy's generals must also be investigated clearly! To fight with soldiers, you need to make judgments and deployments based on the enemy's temperament, military habits, etc.

"Wanyan Zongjie has never been on the battlefield, so it's not worth mentioning! As for Wanyan Ba's departure speed, this person is brave and foolish, so it's not worth mentioning!" Liu Kai beside him said.

"Not bad!" Zhang Xian also nodded.

"How's Xixia's situation recently?" Yue Fei asked abruptly.

"On that day, His Majesty let go of the Yellow River, a catastrophe hit the Yinchuan Plain, and the Xixia people suffered heavy casualties! Moreover, because of the raging Yellow River, the Xixia people's farmland was also wiped out, and the Xixia people lacked food! This winter, Xingqing Mansion may have More than 100,000 people starved to death! According to the news we have received, Li Qianshun, the king of Xixia, has left Xingqing Mansion, and now he has come to the Keyimen area in the north! There are still several Xixia cities in the north, and there are still nearly a million party members! Because of the defeat in the war, Li Qianshun's prestige has been greatly reduced, and now those Xixia cities are both positive and negative to Li Qianshun! There is even a guard of a Xixia city who wants to join us in the Song Dynasty!" Dong Xian said.

"In this way, it is impossible for them to take advantage of the opportunity to send troops." Yue Fei nodded and said.

Although Xixia exists in name only, there are still cities in the north of Xixia, and there are millions of party members. Therefore, the situation of Xixia must be considered when mobilizing troops, and we must also be wary of Xixia.

"Brother Yue, the west of Datong is full of grasslands! It's extremely open there! It's impossible for us to attack Datong by surprise! What kind of tactics are we going to adopt?" Dong Xian said.

"Of course it's a strong attack!" Yue Fei said lightly.

"Strong attack? Datong is a famous city in the northwest, and its defenses are extremely strong! If we attack by force, I'm afraid we will pay a high price!" Dong Xian said.

Datong is the location of the famous Datong Army in the Tang Dynasty. It was the location of the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the Liao Kingdom, it was the Xijing of the Liao Kingdom! It has the great significance of sitting in the northwest of the Central Plains! In the Ming Dynasty, it was the most important border city in China. Numerous wars in the Ming Dynasty took place in the Datong area! The construction of Datong is extremely strong, not even under Xixia Xingqing Mansion! On that day, Dong Xian followed Zhao Chen to attack Xingqing Mansion, but he was unable to conquer Xingqing Mansion even after paying a great price, so he is very suspicious about storming Datong now!

"They only have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and we have an army of 100,000. Conquering Datong will not cost too much!" Yue Fei said.

"But that day in Xingqing Mansion, there were only more than 50,000 Xixia old and weak soldiers. Our hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Xingqing Mansion for many days, but it was still difficult to conquer!" Dong Xian said.

"The situation in Datong is different from that of Xingqing Mansion! The defenders of Datong are the Jurchens, while the people in Datong City are composed of Khitan and Han people! Once a big war breaks out, it is impossible for the Khitan and Han people to help the Jurchens defend the city! That day in Xingqing Mansion, a great battle broke out, and hundreds of thousands of party members defended the city together, so it was difficult for us to conquer! Wanyan Zongjie and Wanyan Bali's speed were not as good as Xixia's prime minister at that time, Wei Ming Anhui, and Xixia imperial concubine Ren's Wait for someone!" Yue Fei said lightly.

That day, Xingqing Mansion was besieged, and Xixia was facing national ruin and family destruction. At such a moment, hundreds of thousands of party members in Xingqing Mansion actively participated in defending the city! Even women came to the walls and participated in the defense of the city! This nation broke out with the last courage and will, and only then was it able to defend Xingqing Mansion! But in Datong, the Jurchens belonged to the invaders, and it was impossible for the people of Datong to help the Jurchens! Therefore, in Yue Fei's view, the difficulty of attacking Datong is far inferior to the difficulty of attacking Xingqing Mansion back then!

"General Yue is right! Datong only has 10,000 defenders, we don't need to hesitate at all! A strong attack is enough to take down Datong!" Liu Qi also said at the moment.

"Order the army to rest! Leave immediately tomorrow, and the soldiers will point directly at Datong!" Yue Fei said.

*** ***

Datong, during the Warring States Period, this place was where King Wuling of Zhao placed Yunzhong County to guard against the invasion of grassland nomads from the northwest.

From the Warring States period to the Qin and Han Dynasties to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the status here is extremely important.

Until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Shi Jingtang of the later Jin Dynasty ceded the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitan people, including Datong, so the Han people lost Datong.

There used to be only Han people in this city, but after being ruled by the Khitans for more than a hundred years, the number of Khitans here has exceeded 100,000. However, the Khitan people who used to be the statistical class have now become the ruled class, and their status is not much different from that of the Han people. They also have to endure the enslavement and humiliation of the Jurchens! The Jurchens are cruel, far better than the former Khitans.

Because this was once the location of the Western Army, the accompanying capital of the Liao Kingdom, and the geographical location is extremely important, the Jurchens have 10,000 defenders here.

It's just that the Jurchens didn't expect the war to happen here, so the defenders here are extremely slack.

It was already the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, and the sky had gradually darkened. At this moment, few people could be seen on the walls of Datong City.

Most of the Jurchen soldiers have already returned to the city, either sleeping or having fun. Over the years, Datong has never been invaded, so these Jurchen soldiers don't have any precautions in their hearts.

In the center of the city of Datong, there is a palace here. This is one of the symbols that used to be the accompanying capital of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao people once built many palaces here. Of course, later generations will never see these palaces. Datong City has encountered many wars, and Datong City was rebuilt in the early Ming Dynasty. At that time, Datong City was already in ruins.

At this moment, in a palace with bright lights, two generals were sitting there eating meat and drinking.

Numerous maids came and went, constantly serving the food and wine.

One of the generals was only twenty-six or seventeen years old, and he was very handsome, somewhat similar to Wanyan Zongwang.

The other person was unusually tall, with beards on his face pricked into iron, standing up one by one, just like the legendary image of Zhang Fei! It's just different from Zhang Fei, he is bareheaded, with pigtails, and is dressed in the standard Jurchen style!

"Your Highness, the second and fourth princes are going to use troops against Guan Shan, but you and I stay in Datong! At that time, we won't be able to get rewards without our contribution to defeating Guan Shan!" Zhang Fei's Jurchen burly man finished his bowl of wine, feeling a little annoyed.

"When the fourth brother arrives, I'll see if I can go south with him! My relationship with the fourth brother has always been very good, and he should agree to me!" said the young general.

"Your Highness, please bring the last general!" said the general who looked like Zhang Fei.

"This is natural! You are my right-hand man, and I will definitely take you with me! After arriving in Guanshan, we will wantonly massacre Han soldiers and abuse Han women! We can take gold and silver treasures at will, without any Be scrupulous! Han people, they are destined to be our Jurchen slaves, kneeling in front of us and obeying our orders!" The young general let out a long laugh and said.

"Your Highness, two years ago, the Han people defeated our Jurchens. Even my elder brother died at the hands of the Han people." Wanyan Ba ​​said quickly.

"It was a fluke that the Han people were able to win! Their conspiracies and tricks are indeed powerful, and they need to be guarded against! But this time we mobilized the power of the whole country, and the power is too strong. In the face of such power, any conspiracies and tricks will only look ridiculous. The Han people are cowardly, incompetent, absurd and ridiculous. When our army arrives, I guess all the Han soldiers will kneel down immediately! Even if we put knives on their heads, we cut off the heads of each Han, and the rest The Han Chinese are still kneeling on the ground and dare not resist us! This is the Han Chinese, the most incompetent race in the world! We will go south and conquer them!" The young man seemed to have drunk too much, and said very excitedly at the moment.

"Your Highness is right!" Wanyan Bali nodded quickly and said.

The two of them drank to their heart's content until it was dark, and the two of them simply rested in this palace.

It wasn't until midnight that the two of them were woken up, and they faintly heard the sound of killing outside.
