After crossing the border, the Xixia Corps did not attack everywhere, nor did they determine the main attack point, but instead hung far away in the middle section of the northwest of the Song Dynasty, as if they were attacking every point. The Song Dynasty Privy Council attached great importance to this and ordered Zhang Yu to pay close attention to the enemy situation and ensure safety in every place in the territory!

On the other hand, Zhang Shi, he had put all his bets on Pingxia City from the first moment! When Liang was busy seducing the enemy, Zhang Shi calmly allocated troops, first determined the lord general of Pingxia City, and then recruited troops from various groups to form an attacking lineup. Note: It is not a firefighting team, but an aggressive ambush!

At this time, we have to talk about Zhang Yue's Pingxia City plan. On the surface, it looks very similar to the previous Yongle City plan, but it is completely different from the fundamental point! Yongle City is a bridgehead for a large-scale attack on the local area of ​​Xixia, serving a series of expedition plans afterwards. Therefore, in the early stage, although there were many troops, they were all concentrated in the city and there were no military echelons with special attributes on the periphery. This caused Yongle City to be besieged, and people from all the garrisons could only temporarily order the troops from all bases to rush to Yongle City for assistance. This could not be guaranteed innately because it was an unprepared battle.

But Pingxia City plans are different. It is actually a pit. It builds a city on a place that both sides must compete for, forcing the Xixia people to siege. The Song army set up heavy troops in the city to defend, and powerful ambush forces lurking on the outside. After the Xixia people siege the city for a long time, ambushing the outside will spread everywhere, and the center of the city blossoms, attacking inside and outside, burying the Xixia people under the city!

This plan is very attractive. If successful, it will definitely be the most brilliant record of the Song army in the century-old war of Song Xia! But if it fails, it will collapse inside and outside, and no one can do anything after it! How can this double-edged sword only cut off the enemy and not hurt yourself? The most important part is to find a general who can hold it firmly in the city and explode in time. This job is not everyone can do. This is not only the general's unique talent, but also the label of the head coach's tactical system.

War is an art, a creative work, and its uniqueness must be recognized. Every major battle from ancient times to the present is engraved with the unique imprint of the commander. From this perspective, war has never been completed by a group, but is unique individual achievements! For example, in the Tang Dynasty, the only one who captured the Turkic Khan was Li Jing, and Hou Junji could only repair Gaochang. The Han general Wei Qing could only defeat the Hun army in the center of the desert, break through the barrier of the northern desert, and the only one who sealed the wolf Juxu was Huo Qubing! Only his peerless edge could be able to be free!

Specifically, Zhang Feng gathered the characteristics of the Northwest generals before the Northern Song Dynasty, like an all-round talent. In the two wars of Pingxia City, he showed his unique characteristics - calmness! In order to select the guard generals of Pingxia City, he was auditioned in the Northwest Five Route Army. Everyone had a chance and anyone could give their opinions. He personally completely obeyed the public opinion. The last person selected was Guo Cheng! Guo Cheng was the fifth deputy general of the Jingyuan Army. He had participated in the Battle of the Five Routes of Xia with Liu Changzuo. He was impeccable in qualifications and meticulous in characteristics. In theory, he was the best candidate to defend the city!

Time is urgent, Zhang Feng made a quick decision, it was you Guo Cheng! But a few days later, someone suddenly wrote an anonymous report, saying that Guo Cheng had huge flaws and he was good at drinking. Zhang Feng's mind buzzed and immediately became dizzy. Isn't this a life? Letting a drunken ghost take on this kind of task is purely a disaster for the country and the people! But he was very calm and did not directly replace people, but ordered all the leaders of the lords to gather urgently. When everyone came, he announced the mission - drinking! Today is for you to go to war, everyone can drink!

During the drinking process, Zhang Qing became more and more focused. There was no need to observe carefully. Guo Cheng in the wine shop was the most dazzling star. This person must drink until he was drunk. He came to the bottom of the glass. He never lost his time to the dispersal period... At this point, Zhang Qing still did not collapse. After everyone left, he left Guo Cheng alone: ​​Come on, let's talk about seriousness...

Zhang Feng and Guo Cheng talked about military affairs, strategy, analyzed the current situation, focused on understanding the equipment for defending the city. After a lot of professional discussions, Zhang Feng felt relieved. It turned out that there are people in this world who are more energetic as they drink. Guo Cheng's condition is better than when he didn't drink... No problem, Guo Cheng rushed back to Pingxia City overnight, ready to be beaten by 00,000 Xixia people at any time...

Soon the people of Xixia came. After Xiao Liang felt that the temptation of the enemy had been very good. She led the entire army of 00,000 people and rushed to Pingxia City. Looking at her posture at this time, she really looked like a hero among women and a flower in the army... The Xixia army crossed Wuyan Gorge, entered Jingyuan Road, and controlled all the places they walked. After arriving at Pingxia City, she laid down Lianzhu Dazhai, reached Huluhe in the east and Shimen Gorge in the west, which stretched for more than a hundred miles, and had an unprecedented momentum. To be honest, before the battle of Emperor Taizong of Song, Yongxi's northern expedition, and Song Shenzong of Song attacked Xia in the five directions. Even if the number of people exceeded 00,000, it never condensed into a legion... The number of people was equal to the big fist, and the big fist was very cautious. After Xiao Liang was not very like a canvass. She gathered heavy troops under Pingxia City, and Wei Ming Abian was responsible for the attack of the city.

, a part of the elite cavalry led by Mei Ledu, from far away to the periphery, always vigilant against the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty. In addition, on the farther outer edge, the Western Xia prince-consor Wangluo stationed the troops of Luosaling and restrained the Xihe Corps. The great leader Buxin stationed the troops of Liangzatai, Wei Mingji stationed the Baichi to resist the various routes of Fuyan and Qinfeng... In this way, a staircase was formed, both besieging the city and attacking the reinforcements of the city, which could be said to be in full swing. According to Xiaoliang's thoughts, the war was carried out in this situation. If the Song Dynasty was timid, she could steadily take down Pingxia City, pull out the nail, and kill a large number of Song Dynasty officers and soldiers, and reproduce the achievements of Yongle City! If the Song Dynasty was bold and dared to mobilize troops to reinforce everywhere, she could turn the surrounding area of ​​Pingxia City into a slaughterhouse, allowing countless Song troops to die in this battle...

The abacus was jingling, fully exerting the work characteristics of female comrades - they had great desires, were careful and ruthless. Unfortunately, the person she met this time was wrong. Starting from the chief general Zhang Feng, every candidate who participated in the war revealed a sense of evil spirit...

Except for the drunk guards in Pingxia City, look at the reinforcements outside. The main general is Wang En, deputy chief general of Jingyuan Road, and the rest are Pu, the branch of the Fuyan army, Wang Dao of Qinfeng army, and Miao Su of Xihe army. The number of coalition forces in the 4th route is not large, and it should not exceed 80,000 last time. The reason for the fewer is that the military authority is panicked. They ordered Zhang Xi to take into account the overall situation and not to bet only at one point. Second, if Pingxia City wants to open fire in the center, it must give Guo Cheng enough strength. If Guo Cheng can't stand it first, everything will be over...

There are only a few people, so let’s see what these generals are like:

Zhongpu is the grandson of Zhong Shiheng and the son of Zhong Yan. Needless to say, no one of them fought according to the routine, cheated, killed people with kidnapping, and set up a plan to make a fortune... When it was the third generation of Xiaozhong's husband, Zhongpu, this style continued to be promoted. He was the best adviser in the Northwest Army at that time!

Miao Shu, he is arbitrary and does whatever he wants. The main general dares to make small moves around him. Is this a qualified soldier? But on the other hand, he made such a big mistake as last time, causing more than 1,000 elite cavalry to fall off the cliff. His superiors did not punish him severely, and his subordinates continued to believe him. Why? This person is a hero on the battlefield, and even if he commits a foul, it is for victory!

Wang Dao is not very famous, he is a practical person, and there is nothing to say. Focus on the reinforcements, Wang En. Can you believe it? The first line of the person in charge of such a major task is actually - timid, and he turns around and runs away when he encounters an enemy...

Wang En, who escaped, was very lucky and happened to be caught by the commander at that time. Now, kill a deserter and boost the morale of his army. Any commander will do this! Seeing that the future king general is about to be executed on the battlefield discipline, a miracle happened at a critical moment, the commander hesitated and actually let him go! This is an absolute miracle, because the commander at that time was... Miao Su! Miao Su, who was desperate for victory, did not kill Wang Paopu, who escaped at the battle. It was weird no matter how you look at it...

Many years later, the deserter of that year actually became Miao Shu’s superior. Is there anything strange about it? The answer is no! You must know that Wang En, Miao Shu was both an officer of the Shenzong Dynasty. During this period, every soldier was full of opportunities, and every soldier had the possibility of promotion, as long as you have enough courage and combat power!

Wang En only fled in the initial battle in his life. Strictly speaking, this is not a sin. The Marshal of the People's Republic of China, a thousand years later, also had the same experience. He was almost shot by his later subordinates, General Chen Geng, then superior! Later, **** and Wang En performed amazingly. **** grew up to be the youngest division commander of the Republic, the first to defeat the commander of the main force of the Japanese army, the youngest marshal, and the soldier with the largest territory. No matter what other aspects are, on the battlefield, he is as unbeaten as a god of war!

Wang En once fought in the rain of guns and arrows under the city of Lanzhou. He was even more brave when he got several arrows. Facing tens of thousands of enemy troops, he rode alone and competed with the enemy generals, shocking the entire battlefield. He was in the northwest and let the people of Liao in the north know his name. He called him "Jingyuan King's Cavalry General". Wang Paopu was already an iron-blooded soldier and became the courage of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty! Zhang Feng chose him, and he was interested in giving the army the courage to win in a dangerous situation!

As mentioned earlier, the arrangement of the Empress Dowager Liang of Xixia was comprehensive. No matter how the Song Dynasty did it, she was determined to die. She even had a hundred miles of camp and set up defenses in different routes, turning hundreds of miles of surroundings into Xixia military defense zones. It looked so meticulous, but unfortunately it was useless! Wang En, Miao Su, Zhong Pu and others did not know what happened, but they actually found a loophole in the gathering ground of 00,000 enemy troops and moved to a valley around Pingxia City. Who knows how they did it? When the battle of Pingxia City started, the people of Xixia didn't even think anything was wrong around...

The first person to go crazy was a general of the Song army. His name was Guo Zude. When he heard the call for killing Lian Tian in Pingxia City, the people of Xixia finally took action and immediately became restless... Guo Cheng in the city was his sworn brother. He knew very well how much information is there in Pingxia City and how many people in Xixia Army were! Common sense told him that he could not defend himself, and he had to attack quickly to save his brother. But when he looked back, the reinforcements were all leisurely and relaxed, closing his eyes to rest, and there was no intention of starting a war at all...

Guo Zude was anxious and walked to the commanders and said: How important is Pingxia City? No need to talk nonsense? If you lose it, Jingyuan Road will be penetrated immediately. You lead the elite soldiers to rescue you and wait for this. Wouldn't you dereliction of duty? Besides, my elder brother Guo Cheng is in the city. If you are in danger, do you have the heart to bear it?

These words immediately ignited the Wang Blast and Miao Blast among the superiors. The two were about to explode, but with a bang, the explosive pile of Yao's surname had exploded. Yao Xiong was also here! He was about to take the Yao family army out at that time! What are the people of Xixia? When have I been cowardly!

In the midst of the crowd, there was only one person still very quiet: Zhong Pu! He only said one sentence: General Guo, if you want to attack, you must first know the situation on the battlefield. You will take people out of the valley and visit them...

Without saying a word, Guo Zude rushed out and led 1,000 people. After a while, he came back covered in blood. He talked about two situations: 1 The enemy was boundless and "full of rivers and valleys, nowhere to be seen." He was flooded when he went out, and he rushed back after playing with his life. He did not retreat at all. On the contrary, he was even more urgent: the enemy was strong and Pingxia City was in danger. Give me a few thousand more people. I want to rush into the city and live and die with my elder brother!

Guo Zude's words ignited all the powder barrels. Decades ago, Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan and other seniors, such as Liu Ping, Guo Zun, Wuying, Ren Fu, Wang Gui, etc., were all heroes who would rather die in battle than give up their companions. Could it be that the Western Army of the Song Dynasty have degenerated into cowards? The blood is getting hotter and hotter, and the mind is getting simpler! Fuck you guys! This is a common term for soldiers in all eras when they are in war.

Slowly! Someone stopped them, but it was still a simplicity! This person was like a piece of ice, without any fluctuations from beginning to end. He asked this group of soldiers who were bloody in their pupils, "There are 00,000 Xixia people outside, can we kill them when we go out?" "No" his mood was depressed, this is the fact...

"Is it possible for us to fail?" "Yes" the mood continues to decline, this is still the fact...

"After our failure, the Xixia people took our heads to the city of Pingxia to show off. What would the defending troops think, will the morale of the army be disintegrated?" "Will" become depressed, this is all fact...

"Then what should we do? Do you still remember the mission?" Everyone was speechless. After all, Zhang Yu had a complete detailed plan, and they only needed to implement it. At the beginning of the plan, they could only watch Pingxia City besieged by 00,000 people, and prayed that the more fierce the attack, the better it would be. The Xixia people were able to consume all their combat power and morale under Pingxia City. It was the ideal thing...

Then, I could only wait... Not far from Pingxia City, the fire rose violently, and the people of Xixia used professional siege equipment from the beginning.

The nearly 100-year war in the Song and Xia Dynasty not only trained the Northwest Army, the Northwest Army, but also gave Xixia great gains. The Dangxiang tribe had written words, unified their clothes, refined their government functions, and enriched their war troops. They not only could ride horses, but also attacked the city! This time, Xiaoliang later raised troops from the country to attack Pingxia City, and all the houses in the warehouse were brought out. First, the shovel team was on the battlefield, and a round of dust flew. After the team was settled, the entire trench outside Pingxia City disappeared. Then the barracks were jingling and wood chips flew everywhere. After a long time, hundreds of wooden buildings, which were as high as ten meters, were launched, and wheeled buildings were launched. Each of these buildings could hold hundreds of soldiers, covered with cowhide and shredded on the outside, and pushed towards Pingxia City with raindrops.

.Look familiar? This thing was originally a built weapon of the Song army. It was nicknamed "Xi Xiangfeng". From the manufacturing process to the use method, it was patented by the Song Dynasty. How did the Xixia people learn it? Don't be busy, this is just one of them! The tall battle building above directly hit the city top and attacked with no idleness at the bottom. The Xixia people quietly slipped under the city wall and started digging holes. Their technique was very strange. They just dug in a piece, and at most they only reached half the thickness of the city wall and stopped. Then they set up wooden boards to support the wall, continue digging, and continue to support it. After a certain amount of later generations retreated and set fire to the wood... It still looks familiar? This is obviously the usual method of destroying the wall by the Song army. It contains precise civil and log measurement methods, and it is not possible to find a few mining people to do it...
