Chapter 363 The Strongest Zhe Family Army (5)(1/2)
During these four years, Li Yuanyi launched a total of four large-scale operations.
The Battle of Sanchuan used 80,000 troops, and later became more than 100,000 troops. It was Li Shibin's rebellion...
The Battle of Haoshuichuan used 100,000 troops.
Fulin Road used more soldiers, including the troops coming out of Hengshan, which could reach 150,000. Both sides suffered heavy losses, and later, the Battle of Dingchuanzhai. After a long period of rest and recuperation, Yuan Hao could only mobilize 70,000 troops.
Among the ministers in Shaanxi, Fan Zhongyan, Pang Ji and Han Qi were doing better.
All of this made mistakes.
In history, Chen Zhizhong and Xia Feng were in charge of Shaanxi affairs, so they were not doing anything. As for the observation of Jingzhou, which had arrived at Jingyuan Road, it was even more impossible to count on the mushroom edge.
As a transshipment officer, Pang Ji did not say anything.
Han Qi was at least in Qinzhou, counting it in the rear, but the battle lasted for more than four months. The information in the rear was like snowflakes flying, without making any noise.
Fan Zhongyan was transferred from the governor of Yaozhou and was also in charge of the deployment department of Juhuanqing Road. Although he was not as good as the later doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, the direct scholar of the Longtu Pavilion of Juyan Road, and the governor of Qingzhou and the cavalry and infantry of the road, he deployed the management and pacification of the border to recruit people with real power (dream, storm, only those who know had such a long official position, and some were not added), he also took charge of the military, political and financial power of Huanqing Road. He had 50,000 imperial guards in his hand. If the foreign troops were added, his troops could reach 60,000 or 70,000, but he did not take the opportunity to launch a decent attack on Xixia. Even if there were several small-scale attacks like Baibao City, Yuanhao would suspiciously withdraw his troops and alleviate the tension on Fulin Road.
The strongest main force of Xixia was drawn away. Although Xixia had garrisons, how many could it be left? Moreover, from the Hexi Corridor to Shazhou, Li Yuanhao had to send a large number of troops to guard the Tubo people to attack.
Later, when compiling historical books, in order to tamper with the behavior of these leading brothers, the time was shortened to September.
The actual war lasted until the beginning of the twelfth lunar month.
The most annoying thing is another gentleman,
Yang Kai.
The soldiers in front of him were fighting bloody battles with the Zhe family army. He wrote to the letter that the Ningyuan Village in Fengzhou had been destroyed by thieves. Only Linzhou was alone, 140 miles away from the prefectures and prefectures, and was far away from the blockade. Although the two states in Ningyuan were able to support the troops and horses to stay in the camp, there was no water spring to guard them. If you discuss restoration, it would cost only national expenses. Now, Xinlinzhou is invited to Peijia Mountain on the east bank of the Yellow River in Hehejin, Lanzhou, where the land is dangerous and there is water spring. It is also said that the two states of Lingxia are all ancient counties in the Han Dynasty. Once they are abandoned, what is the value of Linzhou to be cherished?
I don’t want Fulin Road anymore, so I move Linzhou to the east of the Yellow River. Lingzhou Xiazhou is a county magistrate since the Han Dynasty, so I don’t want it anymore. What are the small Linzhou and Fuzhou?
The most disgusting thing about Zheng Lang is this gentleman.
Why did he cause trouble for Yang Kai? It was not only because he was against Xia Shu and was also because of his advice.
What is disgusting is the next thing, because it is a gentleman, and history books are desperately tampering with it.
Sanchuankou was not strong enough to defeat the war. Yang Qi was afraid that others would pursue him and sent him to Yanzhou forged letters. The court sent 100,000 reinforcements.
At this time, Yuan Hao had already retreated to the north of Jinming Village and had no relationship with this letter.
However, historical books tampered with it and wrote that Yuan Hao was afraid of running away when he heard that the court had 100,000 troops arrived.
It’s no wonder, if a hundred thousand troops come on a long journey, the carriages and horses are exhausted, and they are halfway there, just for Yuan Hao to serve as a big meal.
Gao Jixuan went to Linzhou to rescue, and Yang Kai was the governor of Bingzhou as a direct scholar of the Privy Councillor.
Zhao Zhen secretly ordered, saying that if you could transfer tens of thousands of troops from Taiyuan to support the two prefectures of Lin Prefecture. Yang Kai advanced and reported that he would not be punished by the army. If he was not disciplined, he would not be able to do so. Now he would be sent to the border, and he would probably run away on the road and retreat in the battle. He would not obey orders, so he would be engaged in military law.
Zhao Zhenen is correct.
As long as you clear the circumstance, no matter how you do it.
So he scared a middle-aged official to death. Historical books praised him again, scaring a general to death. How awesome!
However, after fighting in Fulin and the two states for several months, where is Yang Kai's army?
Not only did he not advance, but on the contrary, he also wrote a letter to the court to throw away the Lin Mansion. If you lose the Lin Mansion, think about your relationship with Hedong. Only a Yellow River is separated by a Yellow River. As long as you throw it away, Hedong and even Taiyuan will become Yuanhao's racecourse in the future!
Fortunately, Zhao Zhen was clear-headed and told the prime ministers that Linzhou, ancient counties, and the Khitans were siege more severe during the Xianping period, but they had to be defended. Now they were suddenly lost and were about to retreat with the Yellow River as the boundary, and the country was in danger. It is advisable to quickly build Ningyuan Village to support Linzhou.
The imperial edict was useless. Yang Kai was very happy to abuse the generals in Taiyuan, so he had the courage to go to Linzhou!
In the past, a subordinate named Yang presented him with a shield and a sword. The specific usage was to use the outer ring with a car and an shield with an inner ring. The rabbit Maochuan Wangji used this method and won a victory. Yang Kai shamelessly took this credit and said that he invented it.
It can be said that he is the most shameless gentleman, and even Xia Shun cannot reach his level.
The court wanted to rush to Fulin Road, but under the control of a group of gentlemen and villains, there were almost no reinforcements on Fulin Road except Gao Jixuan's reinforcements at the beginning.
So Fulin Road had to continue fighting alone.
Black and white seem to be inverted.
But the prefecture finally blossomed with bright colors.
Yuan Hao let out a rumor and said that more than 30,000 people died, but not so many actually.
But Wang Kai and Gao Jixuan did kill him miserably, without more than 30,000 people, probably 20,000.
Used to paralyze the Song army.
Then he retreated slowly, but in late August, he suddenly led his army across the white lawn on the western mountain of Quyechuan and rushed towards Ningyuan Village.
Why bother?
More than 100,000 troops came, and most of the troops outside the city were transferred to the city early. There were only a few hundred people in Ningyuan Village, so they could not be confused and could not be defended.
Even hundreds of people still fought with Yuan Hao's main army. Song generals Wang Shi and Wang Xian died in their country, and all the soldiers in the village were killed, and no one surrendered. After Yuan Hao burned Ningyuan Village, he rushed to the prefecture.
Fuzhouzhou City is located in Fugu, built on a mountain, and behind it is the Yellow River. There is a small river in Fugu River in front, which will lead to the Yellow River to the east. So this small river is used as a moat.
The Zhe family has been in the prefecture for a hundred years. The city is built very strongly, with only one small path leading to the city. The southeast is the Water Gate, with a steep cliff, facing the Yellow River. Yuan Hao looked at it and had to attack the mansion from the path under the cliff.
The soldiers approached the city gate and suddenly put down countless wooden rocks from the top of the city, and the bows and arrows came down like rain. The commando avoided the rain of arrows and crossbows, but could not avoid the wooden rocks. The stones were a little better. The rolling woods with steel thorns were crushed in large pieces and kept crushing them to the bottom of the mountain. They had to crush them for more than ten meters before they stopped.
The commando was killed and injured.
In fact, many ugly things happened in the city.
Not only did Kang Deyu not let the people enter the city, he also led the imperial guards to stop moving with several major Song army generals.
The Zhe Family Army went to fight.
However, the Zhe family army has been shrinking for decades, with only more than 6,000 people.
Zhe Jimin was so angry that he wanted to chop Kang Deyu with a knife, but Wang Yuan advised: "General Zhe, I will report to my husband and give you justice."
Zhe Jimin nodded.
Zheng Lang knew that he was still young that year, and it was Zheng Lang's advice to the court that he had transferred a batch of weapons, and now he was in use. He endured his anger and was guarding the city of Fuzhou.
Yuan Hao didn't know the story that happened in the city, so he looked at it and attacked the North City again.
Zhe Jimin came over and fought in person.
Someone listed a list of Zhe family generals. The first generation is Zhe Zong version, the second generation is Zhe Silun, the third generation is Zhe. The fourth generation is Zhe Deli, Zhe Deyuan, the fifth generation is Zhe Yuxun and Zhe Yuqing, including Old Lady She, the sixth generation is Zhe Weizheng, Zhe Weixin, Zhe Weixin, Zhe Weixin, Zhe Weixin, Zhe Weixin, Zhe Weixin, Zhe Haichao, the seventh generation is Zhe Jimin, Zhe Jizu and Zhe Jishi, among which Zhe Jimin is the best among them. There are even more awesome people, Zhe Ke soft and Zhe Xing, but they have not come out yet, or they are too young.
The commander fought in person, and his morale was fierce. The bodies under the city wall were getting higher and higher, and more than a thousand people died. The city wall did not move at all. But Li Yuanhao finally saw a weakness in the prefecture. The southwest city wall was very short, and there was almost no ladder. He took a ladder. One stood below and held a support, and the person could climb the city wall.
He ordered the attack on the North City to strengthen, and drag the main forces of the Fuzhou in the city to hold back the troops and send troops to fight the southwest city wall. As long as he rushed up, the Fuzhou City would fall.
This unexpected attack achieved results.
Soon several Song soldiers with sparse walls in the southwest were shot dead, and countless Western Xia troops rushed to the top of the city. In and outside the city, they shouted together, and the city was broken. Outside the city was arrogance and inside the city was a terrifying voice.
At this dangerous moment, Zhang led his army to arrive and ordered the two of them to hold an enemy soldier and force a human-like Great Wall to scatter on the top of the city, block the enemy from climbing up, and then kill the Xixia army that had already climbed onto the top of the city.
The battle was very fierce. Even Zhang himself was carrying three swords and guns, and he was shot in an arrow under his eyes, almost blinding him.
Yuan Hao's attack was repelled, but new problems came.
Linzhou City was short of water, and Zheng Lang did not instruct that when the Xixia people attacked, they also stored some edible water. The lack of water was later.
The prefectures and prefectures are not short of water, and there are mostly surrounding water on all sides, so there is no water reserved in the city.
What should I do if I need to draw water?
Zhang said to the people, you can go out of the city to carry water to ensure that the Xixia army will not harm you.
He did what he said, Zhang led his army to fight and drove the Xixia people on the edge of the city to the other side of the river.
This is the reason for the terrain.
There is water in the moat, and it is absolutely live water. There is not enough space to accommodate the Xixia army from the moat to the city wall, so that the Xixia army cannot maintain its superior force on the northeast side of the river.
For the fierce Zhang, the hundreds of soldiers, it was for Zhang to be breakfast, and the main meal was not considered a good meal.
After a few days of siege, Yuan Hao finally realized a ruthless fact. Attacking, he could not attack the city. He was trapped, and there was food and water in the city, so he could not waste it here. So he pulled the army to Fengzhou again to try his luck.
Hit him.
Fengzhou is the territory of the Wang family of the Dangxiang Tibetan clan.
Some people say that the Zhe family was a Dangxiang person, and some people say that the Zhe family was a Xianbei-turned Xiongnu, but the Wang family was a real Dangxiang person, and their bloodlines were more noble than Li Yuanhao's.
But Fengzhou's terrain is very deadly.
It is located near the ancient town of Fugu, with rivers, small rivers, mountains, and small hills. It is not many, and the terrain is flat.
Moreover, Yuan Hao lost twice and was killed by the Song army, and those who did not capture Fengzhou City were severely ordered to die.
There was no danger to defend, but I was facing an angry army. After holding Fengzhou City for several days, it finally fell.
Wang Qingyu, the head of the Wang family, was killed in battle. The military commander of the army and horses, and ordered the third squad to plunder Hou Xiu, Yan Xun, including Sun Xiaoyi, who was sent by Wang Yuan, and Yang Guangzu, all died in battle. Yuan Hao had a feud with the Feng family, and in anger, he ordered the city massacre. This time, the city massacre was terrible, which directly led to the destruction of the Tibetan Wang family.
There are future generations who live, but they are far inferior to those in the past.
It's not a matter of life, but this time it's a matter of life. I don't know if it's a matter of life for Fulin or his own.
Yuan Hao captured the state-level cities of the Song Dynasty for the first time, and his confidence increased greatly.
Another thing.
