Wang Shao would not be from Hu. Before Zheng Lang's future northwest, that is, after Wang Shao defeated Gui Zhang, Zhang Feng arrived in the northwest. In April, the two began to discuss the general plan. It was impossible to guess everything correctly, such as Guo Cheng's running all the way. But the general direction could be almost grasped. The entire battle was divided into two parts, one was the Huangzhou area and the other was the Xihe area.

But the situation is constantly changing. No matter whoever person does not expect every detail or any change in detail, they must make timely adjustments.

This is a new combat plan. After reading it, Zheng Lang commented a few words, "Dong's family, don't worry, and fight to attack the stream and sing the city."

With just nine words, Wang Shao's combat plan will be overturned by most of it.

Zheng Lang did not intervene before, and only said five words to annihilate the Guizhang tribe. Wang Shao also saw the grain road. He attacked Hezhou, and the Tubo people robbed Xiangzi City of food and grass and had to withdraw from Hezhou City, and then built the forts to protect the safety of the food road. However, the distance from Hezhou to Zongge City is twice the distance from Hezhou to Xizhou City! It is unlikely to build a fort. Even if you have this manpower to build a fort, you will need at least fifteen forts to protect the safety of the food road. However, how many troops should you divide the fifteen forts?

In fact, when we arrived at Wang Shao, Fan Zhongyan's fort tactics were almost completely overturned.

The fortress was only built in strategic locations, otherwise the military strength would not be enough. At Zhang Shi, the Fan’s fortress tactics were even ignored. Zhang Shi’s tactics were to attach importance to intelligence. With the special agent camp, he also built a strict intelligence network and then took the initiative to launch an attack. However, it was not a big attack like Wang Shao, which was not large in size and was not long in depth. That is, the enhanced version of Yuanhao’s tactics, forcing Xixia to build various fortresses on the border and divide troops to stay. Once it led to Xixia, it would be like the Song Dynasty. With the national strength of the Xixia people, it would be very dangerous to not have to fight in the end.

Zheng Lang is different. His fortresses are not only strategic places, but also prepared to treat them as future commercial towns and economic centers of various regions.

No matter which one of the three, they did not agree with Fan's dense fort tactics.

Therefore, I thought of Pei Xingjian's grain chariot ambush tactics.

Originally, it was not necessarily targeting Guizhang, but even Guizhang did not expect the importance of the Song Dynasty this time on intelligence.

After getting some of the feelings of Lijingcheng. After Zhang Qi deduced it, it was estimated that more than 90% of Gui Zhang would send troops personally, but he did not expect that Gui Zhang would lend troops to kick Xibawen out of Xige City.

So a series of plans came out, and even Huangzhou City used trench tactics to break the city walls of the Song Dynasty. Wang Shao was not worried but happy. In fact, this trench tactic really worked? Then the two armies were in a stalemate at the foot of Yu Zongge City, which was intentional. Wang Shao didn't want to join Zongge City and Qingtang City, which was the core area of ​​Tubo in Huangzhou. Even if Zongge City and Qingtang City were broken, they might still fall into the People's Marine War. This illusion was made. It was to fool Guizhang and attack Bajinbao and the grain team.

Wang Shao didn't care much about how much damage it could cause to the Guizhang tribe. What he wanted was a result. He defeated Guizhang once, defeated Guizhang twice, and let Guizhang defeat the Guizhang miserably. Guizhang lost his prestige. Without the appeal of Guizhang, coupled with the grudge between Xibawen and Guizhang, Guizhang had no appeal to gather the Qian Qiang in Henan, and the Song army could easily attack Henan.

This strategic goal was successfully achieved.

Guizhang asked his son Asu to kick Xibawen out of the plan, and he accidentally cooperated with the Song army's plan.

Wang Shao made tactical adjustments again and pulled out some troops to sweep the tribe. This tribe was very annoying and repeatedly harassed the Song army, so they had to be taken down. Then the main force attacked from Bajin Fort to the southwest, pointing to Wachu Village, Qiudangcheng, Dangbiaocheng, Danancheng, Michuancheng, and Yegongcheng, and then completely took down the Dong clan active in the southwest of Hezhou. It would be best if Dongwu rescued it, but there was no danger of the terrain here, and the states were not as united as Huangzhou and the foreigners, Dongwu would be defeated.

After taking down the Dong family, the Xibawen clan of Xibawen was surrounded by Guizhang and the Song army. Moreover, he retreated to Zhaqu and had more or less conflicts with the local clan Mubo. As long as the Song Dynasty gave appropriate benefits, he could join forces with Xibawen and attack the entire Henan.

However, Zheng Lang had Zheng Lang's concerns. Xibawen led the entire Xi tribe and became increasingly powerful. Although he was not as powerful as Guizhang, he could be regarded as a hero and might not be able to do much effort. On the contrary, he would get the greatest benefits at the minimum cost and strengthen himself. His troops were in the Dajishishan area. In the future, the Song Dynasty would be out of reach and the control over this area would be very weak.

Zheng Lang chose a risky plan to ask Dong Ji to give up the Dong family, and did not respond to Gu Xibawen and sent troops directly to Henan. This tactic would have a risky consequence. The Song army would be attacked by three sides by the tribes in the southwest of Hezhou centered on the Dong family, the Henan tribes in the center of Guizhang, and the Huangzhou tribes in the center of Dong Ji. This is an unfavorable place, but the advantageous place is that the Xi tribesmen will not grow stronger, and even force the Xi tribesmen to cooperate with the Song army to send troops to the Dong family, causing them to suffer both losses.

Then once the Song army obtains Henan, it will be easy to manage in the future.

Wang Shao would not be afraid, but it may be that Wang Shao was also afraid that Xihe was under great pressure and wanted to obtain Henan at the minimum cost and withdraw some troops to support Xihe.

Nine words, the difference is so huge.

The huge difference is not only tactics, but also means that Wang Shao cannot distribute any soldiers to support Xihe...

Zheng Lang asked the soldiers to bring Jiuzi back to Wachu Village, but if Wang Shao's army advanced quickly, it might have been revealed to be brought to the front line, the Song army had already arrived in Qiudang City.

Then he looked at the soldiers and said, "The West Road is going well, and now we are on our East Road."

After saying that, someone asked someone to bet on Li Yu and Han Cunbao.

Zheng Lang came to the northwest to detain the two of them, and then he did not mention it again. First, someone asked to kill Li Han, and some pleaded for Li Han. Zheng Lang refused to comment, and gradually his voice became weaker.

Seeing Zheng Lang sending people to rob them, everyone looked at each other.

Zheng Lang shouted: "Transfer our military orders and everyone who escapes in the battle will be killed!"

The people I hate the most are these people, not only Liu Ping's Ping and Jing Sili's defeat, but also Jing Sili's defeat, but also many chances of victory in the entire history of the Song Dynasty, because many cowardly and cowardly people appeared in the army, who fled with their subordinates at the last moment, and eventually defeated the Song army.

It turns out that the time has not come.

Li Ju and Han Cunbao turned pale on the spot, as they thought. Zheng Lang shouted again: "Drag them down and behead them!"

Then he looked at the generals coldly.

Han Cunbao's lips trembled for a moment. He didn't say anything. Instead, Li Qing knelt down and cried and shouted to spare his life.

Zheng Lang continued to say coldly: "I am not Zhuge Liang, and you are not Ma Su. If you only make Ma Su's mistake, maybe I can forgive you."

Escape at the battle is more terrifying than not obeying the arrangements! At least, although Ma Su did not obey Zhuge Liang's arrangements, he still dared to fight.

The two were beheaded and displayed in public.

Then the three armies of Xixia arrived.

Very fast.

This battle was very high, both the Western Xia and the Song dynasties had high speed requirements. The longer the war was delayed, the higher the cost. Zheng Lang could not afford it. And in August, the weather in the north and south of Huangzhou River gradually became colder, and it was another plateau battle. Once it was delayed until winter came, it would be very unfavorable to the Song army.

This is even more so in Xixia. Although many armies took the initiative to enter the border areas and dragged down the troops of the Fuyan Huanqing Jingyuan Road, the Song Dynasty had many troops, including the relevant troops and the capital. After being delayed for a long time, the Song Dynasty's army would be continuously coming. The Western Xia army would be in danger.

There is also financial pressure. The cost of military use in the Western Xia is very low, but it also costs money. In addition, the autumn harvest is in sight, and a large number of strong men are dragged on the battlefield, which affects the harvest.

But the situation is not as bad as outsiders think.

The soldiers of Xixia were soldiers who were on horseback and dismounted were civilians. When calculating the quantity, they also included the calculation of escorting food and grass. However, most of the Western Xia army used captivity as a supply, which also destined that their war time could not be delayed for a long time, although the cost of using soldiers would further decrease.

The Song Dynasty is different. Soldiers are soldiers, and the civilians escorted are civilians. This is the same as the Tang Dynasty, just like Xue Rengui defeated Dafeichuan. Some people say that there were 100,000 Tang troops, and some people say that there were 50,000 Tang troops. Both statements are correct. 50,000 regular troops, and 50,000 were civilians escorted food and grass.

In other words, when Western Xia calculated the troops of the Song Dynasty, it said that there were only 70,000 to 80,000 people and horses, and did not count the civilians.

Moreover, the calculations of Xixia were wrong. When Wang Shao conquered Hezhou, he used regular Song army, even if it was a foreign army. That was Hezhou, but dealing with Xixia and defending his homeland was two different things. For example, even if Yu Longke participated in the battle, he was observing the battle. Even if he was dealing with Muzheng, Wang Shao was very conscious and would not mobilize his tribe to participate in the war. However, would Yu Longke have any concerns about dealing with Xixia? For example, the Lanzhen tribe in ancient Weicheng valued the water and grass of the Wei River, so he invaded the land for herds and was often plundered by Lanzhen. Xixia planned to attack, Lanzhen turned against Song Xiancheng, and Xixia even threatened the Song Dynasty. Ancient Wei was my own place, and the imperial court established the states on it, which violated the oath. Lanzhen may not be very loyal to the Song Dynasty at the moment, but how could he not fight to the death when the Xixia army attacked?

These Qiang people may have poor military discipline, but the problem is not big when they use them to defend the city.

Also, the Western Xia was known as 200,000, but in fact it was 150,000. Most of the 150,000 troops came from Lanzhou, Kangu, Xizuncheng, Huizhou, including the foreigners, Qiang people, and a few Han people. The real core military force of the Western Xia was less than 50,000, and the most powerful Iron Harrier was only 15,000.

First, this will make the speed faster, and second, it will save costs and can use the Song people to further weaken the strength of these tribes and facilitate rule. However, the combat power will decrease.

But it is hard to say, for example, the leader of Xicheng City Zang Huama (some people say that Xicheng City is located in the north of Kangu, and I personally think it is impossible. At that time, Kangu and Maxian Mountain both returned to Xixia, and Wang Shao could not lobby Xiang Bao to force the submission to Xicheng City, so it was later Dingxi City). He not only hated the Song Dynasty and hated Wang Shao.

In addition, although the Xishi City has water and rivers, it is mostly mountainous terrain. It is famous for its bitterness in Longzhong. It has been drought for nine years and that year, and it may be affected by mountain torrents. He also longs to expand the Weihe River area with abundant water and grass. This person is a firm loyal and anti-Song faction. Once the Song army is attacked, thousands of powerful soldiers under his tent will be more effective than the local soldiers in Xixia.

Both Zheng Lang or Zhang Wang were very concerned about the Xishi City. Not only was Zang Huama a constant factor in Longzhong, but the geographical location of the Xishi City was very important. It controlled Lanzhou in the north, connected Longxi in the south, connected Longyou in the west, and connected Huizhou in the east. It was a must-fight place for military strategists since ancient times.

The battle started with the two wings of Jiehe Fort and Tongwei Village.

Because of some strategic arrangement, Zheng Lang did not immediately mobilize the local people to participate. The main defensive force was still in Guweicheng, where a large amount of weapons and food were concentrated, including Zheng Zhang himself staying in Guweicheng. The power of the two wings was very weak, so Jibao and Tongweizhai must be required to hold on for ten days. After ten days, you can retreat from the two treasurys to the rear, but the two treasurys cannot be lost within these ten days.

The generals who were in charge of the two forts were Liu Shaoneng and Wang Yuan. In the past, Zheng Lang's four generals, the Yang brothers, Wang brothers, were born and died many times, and Wang Zhi and the other two were disabled and injured, faded out of the military, leaving only Wang Yuan.

Perhaps Wang Yuan was not a famous general, but he had good practical experience. Therefore, Zhang Feng asked him to defend Tongwei Fort. However, Zheng Lang was still a little worried because the general of the Xixia army on the east road was Li Qing. He did not clearly record Li Qing's historical records, and only recorded one thing, suggesting that Li Bingchang give up the land of Henan in exchange for support from the Song Dynasty and let the Liang family kill him. However, Zheng Lang had a thick stack of information in his hand, started his career as a small soldier, made military achievements many times, and gradually took over. Because he was a Han and did not have a good family background, many people ignored it in the early stage, which was very similar to Han Shizhong later.

But this person's military ability cannot be underestimated, at least he is a general who is on par with the Ghost Chapter.

I wonder if Wang Yuan could hold Tongwei Fort for ten days.
Chapter completed!
