Four hundred and twenty chapters two letters(1/2)
Cui Xian’s location is the most dangerous North City.
Wei Minghuan was commanding himself outside the northern city. Seeing this scene, he would not know Cui Xian, but based on his intuition, he felt that it would be detrimental to the people of Xixia. So he dispatched troops and strengthened the attack. More people killed the city one after another...
At this time, we see the power of the masses.
Cui Xian's lead played a very good guiding role.
Mortals are afraid of death. To be brave but not afraid of death is just a difference in the degree of fear of death. People are even more afraid of death. However, people also have blood, but only the difference in the degree of blood. Compared with the inland people, as border people, the degree of fear of death is higher.
Especially women.
Some Qiang women had a high voice. Dongnu Qiang was still a king during the Tang Dynasty, so later Wu Chengen wrote a daughter country. In the Western Xia army, there were women as soldiers and military generals. In the Shimenchuan victory, the Song army also captured more than 300 female soldiers. This was not kind, so they were placed in the rear of Jingyuan Road and the various prefectures and counties in Guanzhong. They volunteered to get married or be left alone, and Zheng Lang ignored it. In order to recruit more troops this time, there were more female soldiers in the Western Xia army, mostly doing logistics work.
Under Cui Xian's stimulation, some Qiang girls also climbed the city. At least they were braver than Cui Xian, who was as delicate as flowers and jade. Cui Xian even climbed the city, and they were.
In fact, Cui Xian and Huan'er and Sier just play a role in boosting morale.
There seemed to be more than a dozen stones thrown, which were small and had no direction, and no one was killed. Sier seemed to intentionally keep the stone away from the soldiers of Xixia and dared not smash it on them. But these Qiang women are different, they are really smashing and killing.
Not far away, a Qiang girl smashed a big stone. A Xixia soldier was fighting on the top of the city and hugged him. It was her sister who was hugging her, and her two soft chests were still pressed into her arms. The Xixia soldier was stunned for a moment and was pushed hard by the Qiang girl, and bent down in pain. The Qiang girl had no weapons in her hand. She only had a big stone of seven or eight kilograms. She picked up the stone and smashed it on the soldier's head. She immediately knocked the man unconscious and continued to smash it. The soldier's head became a broken big watermelon for a while.
Sier and Huan'er happened to see this scene and shouted, "My mother."
The two men suddenly burped into Cui Xian's arms.
Frightened.
Yin Zhu also saw the changes here, walked over in surprise, opened her mouth and said, "Miss Cui, why are you here?"
"Shi Lu, quickly organize the people."
More and more people are coming. Although the defense force has been increased, the chaotic mass is worse than taking the opportunity to organize the people to form more effective combat power.
Yin Zhu ordered the soldiers to organize the people and advised: "Go down, you guys, this place is too dangerous."
"Shi Lu, I can't go down. I must lead the people. Go there. If the people don't join the war, the city of Weizhou will be lost."
Yoon Soo was speechless.
This couple is too strong, one is stronger than the other.
Wei Minghuan increased its siege force, but more and more people rushed to the city. When the sky gradually dimmed, nearly 20,000 people would join the war. If they were placed outside the city, it would take at most half an hour. This Wulong army would be destroyed by the Xixia people.
But this is in the city, Weizhou is the base camp of Jingyuan Road, with many weapons. Yesterday, while organizing the people into the city, they cut some trees and stones from the mountains outside the city, and made rolling stones. There were also a large number of gunpowder bags. Yin Zhu didn't understand, do you still need to feel heartbroken at this time? A large number of weapons were distributed, and the Xixia people's attack was repelled.
As the sky gradually faded, nearly two thousand soldiers were sacrificed, the Xixia people stopped attacking.
The unexpected situation in the afternoon made several major Xixia generals feel embarrassed.
It seems that Weizhou is not so easy to attack. But what can they attack except Weizhou? To the west, where is Zhang Ji dared to go? To the east, more than 10,000 people suddenly emerged from Qinzhou and are extermining the rebellion. First, the rebellion in the Fengshui area of Longzhou, and then entering Liangyuan, slowly advancing towards Chongxin.
The rebels in Panyuan area suppressed the people. Several other rebellions were not large in scale, and some small chaos initially formed. With the arrival of more than 10,000 Song troops, Xiang Boxue encountered the scorching sun and was quickly wiped out. Some people escaped from the sky, but this was in the rear of Jingyuan Road, where to escape. Unless they could escape to Weizhou, they would sooner or later be captured or killed by the Song people.
To the east, there were dense people, food and supplies. The Song Dynasty seemed to be insufficient, but Pan Yuan's thousands of Song troops, plus more than 10,000 Song troops, would be difficult for him to return if he fell into a place. He would not dare to go deeper. Unless these two Song troops were not afraid of death and took the risk of entering the city of Weizhou, they would defeat them with the advantage of being a cavalry and having a lot of troops. Sifu repeatedly said that there seemed to be no good way out except to attack Weizhou.
Either retreat, but one day of bloody battle, nearly two thousand soldiers were injured or killed. Will Yuan Hao forgive himself if he retreats like this?
Weizhou City is also miserable.
The people suddenly joined, making Weizhou City temporarily safe. However, these people lacked experience. Although they were at risk of the city wall, the casualty rate was higher than that of the Xixia people outside the city. Many people died, and there were sobs everywhere in the city.
...
It was time for Di Qing to make a choice.
The situation in Weizhou City was an accident. If it weren't for Yin Zhu, the timid magistrate would have not distributed troops. If it weren't for the distribution of troops, Wu Hao would have not come up with bad ideas, and the Xixia people would have not traveled south. He did not expect that the Xixia people would have sent Wu Hao over. These two traitors hated the Song Dynasty more than Yuan Hao. The more their compatriots died, the happier they would have been. Without this abnormality, there would have been no story of Xixia people going south.
But man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, and no one can calculate the future.
It may not be without benefits. On the contrary, proper use will be more beneficial to the Song army.
Originally, the Xixia soldiers in Dingchuan Village were strong. Once the troops were divided, the troops would become thinner, making it easier to start a battle and have a higher chance of victory.
But that is Weizhou!
As long as the main force of Dingchuan Village is defeated before Weizhou City is lost, 30,000 Xixia people will become turtles in the jar. But what if they cannot be defended? Originally, Jizhi's army would be divided into two units, one unit and five thousand people, mainly to suppress the rebellion. Then Pan Yuan met with Zhenrong Village, and most of them marched towards Changgan City. Due to the force, they had to be transferred to Chongxin to assist in defending the Xixia army.
But these troops are not in Weizhou.
Don't worry too much, as long as Pan Yuan's three thousand Song troops enter Weizhou City, Di Qing will no longer worry.
Moreover, there is Zheng Lang's wife, concubine and daughter in Weizhou City. The reason why he was able to rise to power was mostly because Zheng Lang strongly recommended it to have his current status. Not only that, Zheng Lang was also afraid that something would happen. He would fall into Dingchuan Village and would be surrounded by the Xixia people and could not send the order. So when he sneaked into Dingchuan Village from Pengyang City, he handed all the orders to him secretly, giving him full responsibility for mobilizing all the troops. This trust puts pressure on him.
Once something happens to Zheng Lang’s wife and concubine, he will be criticized by all the Song people and scolded by thousands of men.
It is this kind of kindness and trust that affects his judgment ability.
The news that Weizhou City suddenly rose to prominence was delivered to Di Qing at the third update.
It was originally good news, but Di Qing was getting up from the bed with a burden of thought, which was good news, but he didn't dare to make decisions, even though Zheng Lang gave him the right to make decisions.
I thought of two ideas.
The first idea is to wait for Fan Zhongyan's troops to arrive and quickly divide the troops south. It can be achieved in just two or three days. The stalemate in Weizhou City over the past two or three days also caused the morale of the 30,000 Xixia troops to decline, and he could calmly eat the 30,000 Xixia people, and then turn around and go north to deal with the Xixia troops in Dingchuan Village.
The second idea was to ignore Weizhou. He had never seen the allusion of Zhou Yafu's military use during the rebellion of the Seven Kings of the Western Han Dynasty. His intuition made him feel that this was a huge opportunity. He did not go to Weizhou, but he had to send someone to send a letter to Weizhou, so that Yin Zhu would open a warehouse in Weizhou City, and he could not be stingy with money and goods. He rewarded the people, and then distributed weapons to the people, so that they could participate in the war, and first dragged the 30,000 Xixia people. After Ji Zhi quelled the rebellion, he left three thousand troops in Chongxin City, echoing Pan Yuan and the three thousand Song troops. The remaining troops took a detour across Longshan and entered the Luanggang City.
Time should be slower. But it happened to wait for Wang Xin and Zhe Jimin's 10,000 cavalry. And the longer it drags, the less food the enemy will be, and morale will be depressed. The three Song troops of the three routes launched a major battle in Dingchuan Village and defeated the Western Xia army of Dingchuan Village in one fell swoop. Then the 30,000 people were in the abdomen of Jingyuan Road, and they had no place to escape.
Leave it to Zheng Lang how to choose.
We began to count the troops and horses, and chose the strongest thousand soldiers, rode their horses, and ran towards Dingchuan Village regardless of the darkness of the night.
Fortunately, the road was familiar. Although the Xixia people blocked the enemy, Di Qing still sent scouts to inquire about some information.
By the end of September, the night was long and he was given time.
At dawn, Di Qing brought his hands to Dingchuan Village.
Most of the Xixia soldiers were sleeping, and Yuanhao still sent many scouts and patrol personnel. Before he could pounce on the enemy camp, he was discovered by the patrolling Xixia people and blew a warning horn.
"Run." Di Qing put on the bronze mask and said.
A thousand cavalry rushed towards the Xixia camp without hesitation.
Zheng Lang and Han Qi were also asleep, and suddenly heard the sound of fighting in the enemy camp outside. The two of them were puzzled, but they hurriedly got up from the bed and rushed to the top of the city to watch.
Di Qing was fighting from the northeast with his men. The enemy camp was too thick and was about to be surrounded by the enemy.
It was not dawn at this time, but the Xixia people lit torches and could see Di Qing's conspicuous copper mask.
Zheng Lang and Han Qi looked at each other, not knowing what happened, which made Di Qing rush towards the enemy camp like a moth throwing into fire. But the two reacted quickly, and Han Qi said, "Xingzhi, send someone to rescue him."
"Yes." Without Han Qi's words, Zheng Lang also knew that Wang Ji led five thousand elite cavalry out of the east gate.
The two brave generals had a strong lethality, and quickly tore a gap in the thick camp of Xixia, and the two armies met. Di Qing knew Wang Ji, took out the letter from his arms, and said, "General Wang Ji, go back quickly and bring this letter to Mr. Zheng, and I have to go back."
The killing was so fierce, just for a letter.
Wang Ji did not ignore it. He was besieged for several days, and the village did not know the news outside. The letter came at the right time. He shouted, "Hey." The two armies separated again, one east and one west and went back. The sun rose from the communication between heaven and earth like a large egg yolk. Many Xixia people were still confused by the monks. Could it be that the sudden bloody battle between the Song army was just a meeting?
But this battle can see the benefits of cavalry.
If it is an infantryman, he will not be able to escape if he gets the letter.
And gave Di Qing a new inspiration.
If he wanted to siege Dingchuan Village, although the Xixia army had strong military strength, it was also diluted. He retreated east with more than 600 remaining subordinates. Di Qing smiled. After leaving the Xixia camp for more than ten miles and saw that the Song army was escaping quickly, the Xixia people behind him were also afraid of being in trouble and stopped chasing. Di Qing said to one of his subordinates: "Go back. Listen to the gunpowder sounds a few times in the Dingchuan Village camp, and I will report to me."
On the other side, Han Qi was proudly saying to Zheng Lang: "How about Yin Shilu?"
The two have been worrying about Weizhou.
After receiving this letter, the two of them felt relieved.
No matter how the 40,000 people in the city do it, they are just defense and no need to make contributions. If they are organized, even if they are organized ten thousand people, and there are sufficient weapons and materials in the city, the people of Xixia are not good at siegeing the city, and they can withstand at least ten days.
It will take more than ten days? In another five or six days, the battle of Dingchuan Village will inevitably begin. At that time, the dilemma of Weizhou City will be solved.
The scout was not sure about the reason for the huge change in Weizhou, but knew about this change. Zheng Lang talked about Han Qi in the past few days and had some slight remarks about Han Qi. Han Qi thought it was Yin Zhu's credit, so he boasted.
Yin Zhu still made contributions. First of all, he only thought about fighting to defend the city, and would not cry in Yanzhou City like Mr. Fan.
But it was not entirely Yoon Soo's credit.
Zheng Lang didn't know that his wife played an extremely important role in this defensive battle, and he didn't want to argue, so he asked: "Brother Zhigui, what do you think?"
"I will give up, I will give up, I will not give up, I will not gain. What do you think of it?"
No need to say more. Han Qi agreed to the second article. Zheng Lang also agreed to the second article, and Pang Ji sent a 10,000 army, which was quite unexpected. Not only did he have a 10,000 army, but also two brave generals, Wang Xin and Zhe Jimin, were even more powerful.
Strictly speaking, there were many famous generals in the Song Dynasty in this battle, and almost most of the famous generals in the northwest, such as Di Qing, Zhang Ke, Wang Ji, Lao Zong, Wang Xin, and Zhe Jimin, these people can be recorded in history. There are also a large number of powerful British troops and more than 1,000 Jurchens. If Aguda was allowed to command, even more than 30,000 Jurchens could defeat the 30,000 powerful Khitan army. In addition, the cavalry, four groups were concentrated, and the number of cavalry reached more than 40,000, of which nearly half were almost Fanzis.
It can be said that since the Northwest War, this battle has concentrated almost all the most powerful military branches of the Northwest Fourth Route.
This will be a battle to determine the universe. After the war, not only did the power of the Xixia people seriously weaken, but also paved the way for the construction of various villages and forts in Wuyanxia and Huluchuan. As long as the historical villages and forts in Wuyanxia and Huluchuan were built, Dushan, Weizhou and Yanzhou in Xixia were all under the attack of the Song army. Also, as long as these villages and forts were built and a wide road was built from Xiyao City, Huanqing Road and Jingyuan Road would form a whole.
At that time, if we want to fight and fight, the Song Dynasty would have more than half of the initiative.
However, Han Qi was a little annoyed. Ten thousand cavalry in Yanzhou came to increase the weight of victory in this battle, but the strategy of seizing Hengshan that he discussed with Fan Zhongyan was probably impossible to achieve. Since Yanzhou sent 10,000 cavalry, there were only some soldiers left. Although there were quite a lot of troops, it was impossible to capture Hengshan. Because he had not told Zheng Lang before, it was difficult to say it now.
The two discussed it and drove out of Dingchuan Village, carried out the catapult, threw ten gunpowder bags, and then lined up into the village. When they were in a hurry to break through, they also notified Di Qing that the sound of a gunpowder bag was to agree to the former plan, and Di Qing chose another new plan, which was three sounds, five sounds between two, and ten sounds.
But there is still a layout.
To be continued...
