Three hundred and seventieth chapters Prince meat grinder (2)(1/3)
The conservatism before the Song Dynasty, the long winter nights and the cold at dawn, made this action successful.
But it can never hide it after the uterus is inflamed.
At present, the Xixia Du Palace has not appeared and moved its sister, and Yuanhao has not built countless gorgeous palaces. However, as the emperor's palace, this complex is still extremely large.
The smoke rose quickly.
Yeli Yuqi had just gotten up, and his subordinates rushed in and reported that a large area of smoke had risen from the direction of the Xixia Palace, which seemed to be burning.
"The fire broke out in the palace?"
My subordinates dare not speak out.
Later, someone came in to report that the Song army arrived at the palace, with a large number of people and a complex terrain. It was impossible for them to intercept and kill them like the mountain camp in front of the palace. Many Western Xia soldiers fled one after another.
The deserter immediately reported the news to Yeli Yuqi.
When Yeli Yuqi almost fainted when he heard this, he shouted: "This is impossible."
The Xixia Palace is not a real city, nor is it as strong as the Song Dynasty's big city. However, it has a wall and I sent two thousand people to guard it. Not only are there two thousand people in the palace, but if the Song army attacks the palace, it must attack the front camp.
The front camp was also not very strong, but the Song Dynasty never launched an attack on Tiandu Mountain. The nature of the front camp would play a role in protecting and delaying.
Besides, it is still about a hundred miles away from the Song Dynasty controlled area.
This hundred miles is not a plain area, there are many mountain roads. Even if the Song army attacked, they set up some outposts along the way and many patrol teams. How could they kill the palace? Could it be that they fell from the sky?
Yin Yin reacted quickly and guessed the truth.
The Song people had an army, with two cavalry troops in the south and north blooming. If they were interested in cooperation, they would meet on the west side of Wuyan Gorge, and the lurking area would be shortened.
But still don't believe it.
If you want to sneak into the palace without knowing it, you will have to wait two o'clock in the first place, and there will be no soldiers patrol and no people appear, so that you will not be noticed by yourself. But in such a short time, how can you rush to the front of the palace and break the front camp and the palace?
Suddenly he shouted: "Deploy troops."
Prince.
At this moment, Ye Li was really crazy when he got mad.
...
Zheng Lang and Lao Zong were also looking outside. At the same time, a large number of scouts had been sent out.
Because of the prince, all tactical arrangements have changed.
Originally, after catching some people, Di Qing would make a speed change according to the situation, slowly attract the enemy, and then enter Shimenxia. From entering Shimenxia, his central army caught up with the meeting.
At the end of Shimenxia is a very small river, Shimen River, and there is a flat river on both sides of Shimen River. Going further to both sides are some small short mountains.
Fight the enemy soldiers here.
Considering Yeli Yuqi's anger and fearing that the Xixia army would become an angry army, he also made many arrangements. The most important arrangement would be pushed out with the military's baggage chariots and made into a chariot formation. No matter how fierce Yeli Yuqi was, his troops were always limited.
As long as he drags his army down, he will fight for a while and Yeli will have to retreat when he meets the beggar.
If you want to retreat, you can only continue to return from Shimenxia.
Another Song army would use this time to lurk from the mountains on both sides of Shimenxia.
It was still ambushing, but not ambushing in advance. The army was in the movement. Even if the enemy attached importance to scouts and sent people to check, there was still no ambush on Shimenxia. But after the Xixia army retreated, the ambush came out.
The Fu Jun smashed the stones on the stones, or stood on the top of the mountain and shot arrows, and his main army pursued them from behind.
There will be a happy victory in this battle in Shimenxia.
Continue to send troops to lure out of Tiandu Mountain to attract the main force of Yeli's army to the side of Tiandu Mountain. Taking advantage of the weak Western Xia forces in other places, they sent troops to reward and move their mouths, attack Weizhou and Mingsha City.
Therefore, this time is the most important thing.
Only in this battle in Shimenxia can the subsequent plan be implemented after the enemy's main force is consumed.
But when the prince appears, nothing can be controlled.
They even built a temporary simple military camp in Shimen Mountain, making this camp a huge meat grinder.
He develops in a favorable direction, but no one can calculate the process. And the primary premise is whether Di Qing can bring the prince back.
He was also waiting anxiously.
...
Di Qing began to withdraw his troops.
I don’t know what the rear is doing, but I believe that Zheng Lang and Zhong Shiheng will cooperate accordingly.
Some have not changed, such as burning the stone thrower you brought over into the fire. It is better to burn it than to let the stone thrower become a burden to the marching.
There are some precious gold and silver utensils in the Xixia Palace, and some children who come to visit also bring some precious jewelry or bronze statues on the mountain. They ordered that the gold and silver utensils that are easy to carry will go with the flow, which will not drag down the speed of the march, but there is no way to make any decisions about the bronze statue.
It's bulky and too late to peel it off.
As for the wealth in the palace, it is mainly done with the flow. If you find it, just forget it. If you can’t find it, soldiers are not allowed to waste time and search.
Except for the refined weapon and Xixia swords of the Xixia people, the rest of the weapons and armor are burned into fire and are not allowed to be carried.
The horses were left behind, and the rest of the livestock were not allowed, which changed from the original plan. The original plan was to bring all the livestock with them, and they did not have to be brought back. They ran and discarded them when the enemy of Xixia chased them. After the war, they could be found, but they could not be found.
Absolutely not greedy.
But with the prince, it is very dangerous to stay here and leave Tiandu Mountain, so you must leave cattle and sheep.
This battle killed many enemies, and many of them fled. In addition to the soldiers, there were also some nobles, servants, maids, and monks who served them.
The latter Zheng Lang deliberately talked about their importance.
Every time Yuan Hao sent troops to Tubo or Haoshuichuan, he came to the Tiandu Grottoes and prayed.
In order to covet Yuan Hao's rewards, the monks used religion to take the initiative to put a legal cloak on Yuan Hao's atrocities and promote the legitimacy of his victory and war of aggression.
Yuan Hao was also happy and used the state power to raise the status of the temples of Tiandu Grottoes, and eventually made the temples of Tiandu Mountain the most important Buddhist places in Xixia.
Now that these masters are captured, they will peel off their smooth divine clothes from the outside and destroy the Yuanhao regime from the divine power.
During the process of catching the monk, the temples were also lit and burned.
The order was issued and the fire became hot again.
The shouts and begging for mercy were heard from the mountain.
Di Qing looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly laughed. The young husband was preparing Buddhas in Hangzhou and came to the frontier to destroy the Tiandu temples. The war was chosen in Shimenxia. The Sumeru Mountain Grottoes on the edge of Shimenxia were larger in scale and there were some temples.
I wonder if those little husbands will come to Weizhou to teach their younger husband a lesson after they know the truth.
When the fires rose in the last temple, Di Qing looked at the sky and ordered the trumpet of withdrawing troops to be blown.
There are also some enemy fleeing troops in the mountains and forests, as well as monks crying for their parents, but they can’t waste their time anymore, and it’s time to go back.
The soldiers returned to the team one after another, tied up the prisoners and placed them on the horse's back. No one would ask whether they would be beaten to death because of their uncomfortable posture. But they were a little better at Li Ningming, and Di Qing personally helped him on the horse and rode with him.
After a glance, hundreds of soldiers were sacrificed in this battle. It was impossible to think that it would be impossible not to suffer any casualties. He said, "Retreat."
Thousands of cavalry rushed south.
I saw the front camp. Di Qing heard a shout of killing from the front camp.
Hurry up and break in.
Once this place is lost, the enemy will use the barrier of the camp to hold back his own line. There is a lot of danger.
After breaking into the camp, Cao Ying was leading his men to fight with the Xixia people.
Almost half of the five hundred people left behind were sacrificed. Seeing Di Qing leading his army to arrive, almost all the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
Di Qing ordered his men to take over the defense, climb to the heights, and look outside.
There were about 3,000 cavalry outside, and many people were wearing civilian clothes. It seemed that they were rushing to collect them.
Half of the people got off the war horses and shot at the village with bows and arrows. Some people were desperate to use ladders or people climbed towards the walls.
Di Qing held the shield and pushed Li Lingming out, shouting loudly: "You guys are optimistic, who is this?"
The enemy outside looked up.
Several enemy generals in the leader knelt down and cried in tears: "Your Highness the Prince."
A prince, thousands of enemy troops, knelt down.
Guo Kui frowned slightly: "General Di, it's a bit difficult to deal with. These people are mourning soldiers."
The mourning soldiers will definitely win, and there are a lot of people. Nearly 3,000 Western Xia cavalry, and their anger will explode all their combat power and compete with their own forces. Even if they win, they will win miserably. I don’t know how long it will take to fight, and then more enemy troops will surge.
Di Qing frowned and thought deeply, called Cao Ying, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Cao Ying looked suspiciously at the prisoners behind him and finally took the order.
After a while, the village door opened, and Cao Ying led a group of people to push the prisoners out and block them in front of him.
These prisoners included many monks, several nobles, and some enemy generals.
Originally, the people of Xixia were eager to try and were about to launch an attack, but they were all stunned when they saw these prisoners.
Almost at the same time, the bows that were opened were slacked down together.
To be continued...
