Eight hundred and ninety-eight chapters battle (ten)
There are not many soldiers in rebellion. But if this is the case, it will not be magical.
At this time, there was a very fatal factor on the city, that is, many people came from Huizhou and Kangu. Especially when I heard the news that the 50,000 Song troops came, the 5,000 troops increased by Meile Baoxi almost mostly came forcibly recruited troops in Kangu.
In the absence of logistics, a large number of troops is definitely a good thing, and it depends on it, especially for a coalition of multiple tribes like this. If the army is uneven, it may not be a good thing. This is the critical reason for Fu Jian Feishui's defeat.
The actual truth is revealed, which is not magical at all, such as the additional troops on Jingyuan Road.
This year, the Khitan and the Song Dynasty were both affected by droughts, but the drought in Xixia was not serious. The Khitan was so hard that he only buried himself in his own hands. The Song Dynasty prepared a large amount of food and grass in advance, and the drought had an impact, but not a fatal impact. Many areas used labor and relief, including most of Shaanxi. If the Song army disguised as a disaster victim, and even before the Western Xia sent troops, they would sneak into Weizhou bit by bit, including various military supplies, in the name of rescue grain. As long as it was not mobilized by hundreds of thousands of troops, the confidentiality work would be done well, it would be difficult for the people of Xixia to detect it.
besides.
The Xixia army was huge, but after many years of war, no matter whether there were banks in the rear or not, the finances were very tight, so a large number of troops would be recruited from Kangu, Lanzhou, and Xishicheng. Most of these areas were Tubo people, and most of them were subordinates of the blind men. They became the biggest loophole of the Xixia army.
The Song Dynasty sent scouts in advance to inquire about some of the tribes that had the most resentment towards Xixia, and then sent people to secretly invite the elders of their tribe to Luanggan City, and then asked Mu Zheng's second son Zhao Bingyi to meet and lobby to ensure that the children of their tribe who participated in the expedition army would never be killed and safely return to the original tribe when surrendered. What would these tribes do? And there were these tribes in Guanzhong Huining, and they were the ones who rebeled.
Most of the Kangu children did not know about this. But would they be willing to work hard for the people of Xixia? At this time, Kangu was not the Kangu in history. Many people received favor from Zheng Lang and were not evil to the Song Dynasty. Seeing the sudden occurrence of the changes on the city, these Kangu children were stunned together.
This leads to a result.
There were not many soldiers in the rebellion, but it caused a great melee on the city.
Han Cunbao and Li Feng escaped at the last battle, and Zheng Lang was not allowed to do so, let alone the harm caused by Xiao Yun.
There was chaos on the top of the city, and the Song army below was attacking fiercely. Before the sky became dark, more Song soldiers successfully climbed to the city of Huiningguan. Moreover, these rebellious Tubos were still lobbying for the Song army, so more Tubos laid down their weapons and surrendered one after another.
Meile Baoxi also wanted to resist. Later, she saw a large number of Song army controlling many places on the city wall and even lowered the suspension bridge. Some warriors climbed down the city wall and were about to open the city gate. Meile Baoxi made a clever move and ran away. She ordered her subordinates to open the Xiguan gate and escape to the other side of the river.
Once the general fled, who would dare to resist? The rest of them either fled or surrendered. Anyway, the Song Dynasty's policy of not killing and surrendering prisoners has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Surrender is no big deal, and it can save a life.
However, the Song army still did not end here.
After a brief discussion between Zhong Yi and Zhou Yongqing, they left wounded soldiers and a small number of soldiers stationed in Huining Pass, and took a little dry food to chase them again. It is fake to chase the girl Le Baoxi, and the girl Le Baoxi is not that important yet.
The real purpose is the West.
The Kangu area was originally empty because of the withdrawal of troops, but when it was pulled again, it became even more empty.
Zhong Yi led his army to cross the Qingshui River, and his troops attacked Dingyuan City, Nuzhe Valley, Dongguan Fort, Agan City, Zhou Yongqing's troops attacked Kan Valley, Xincheng, and Mazhishan.
The two Song troops were mostly cavalrymen, and the speed was very fast. Xincheng and Dingyuan City were not far from Huining Pass. Before Meile Baoxi's defeated soldiers fled back to Xincheng and Dingyuan City, Zhong Yi and Zhou Shiqing's army came here. These several cities were mostly built by Zheng Lang, and many of the city walls were also built by blue bricks, rather than rammed earth as walls like most forts in the northwest. When Xixia sent troops to Kangu, the Song Dynasty could not say that it did not support it, and supported many weapons and materials. However, Mu Zheng himself was not good at fighting and lost Kangu. The most unsatisfactory thing was that he finally turned to Xixia in disguise.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to attack several cities around Kan Valley. But now there are almost no soldiers in these cities, and the Song Dynasty would not have expected that the Song Dynasty would attack Kan Valley. At the fourth update, two armies came to Xincheng and Dingyuan City, but the city was quiet, and there was not even a patrol soldier on the top of the city. The two armies easily touched the city head and opened the city gate. The two cities, one in front and one behind, fell into the Song army before the sky was clear.
Zhou Shiqing had a high level of experience in two groups, so he was used as the main general. Zhong Yi was Zheng Lang's son-in-law, and no one dared not to give face. However, the two deputy generals Zhang Yu and Yan Da became famous for a long time and were one of the top ten famous generals of the Song Dynasty in Zheng Lang's heart.
Of course, Zhong Yi is underestimated by the world. In Zheng Lang's actual strength, he is still above Yan and Zhang. Even Zhou Shiqing cannot underestimate him, and he is definitely in the second tier with Yang Wenguang, Bin and others.
None of the four generals was confused, and the opportunity was rare. Despite the fatigue of the soldiers, the soldiers were allowed to eat dry food in a hurry, and some of them were left to station in the two cities. Before the sky was clear, they sent troops again. When the sky was dawn, Zhongyi's army arrived at the city of Nuzhegu, and the Qing army on the other side also arrived at Kangu.
The soldiers guarding the city didn't know what was going on, and the two cities changed hands one after another.
While the iron was hot, the two armies attacked again. Zhou Shiqing soldiers entered the Maxianshan camp, while Zhong Yi divided his troops into two groups, attacked Dongguan Fort himself, and Yanda went to Agan City.
After several small bloody battles, in the evening, he once again captured a camp, a fort and a city. Especially Kangu, the city was strong and the cabins were accumulated, and the Xia people were called Yuzhuang. Although the Xixia people brought a large amount of supplies because of the sending troops to ancient Weicheng, there were still a lot of food and grass in Kangu.
After obtaining Kangu, the Song Dynasty sent troops to the public even saved food and grass. In fact, although Zhang Shi asked 20,000 civilians to escort supplies, most of them were weapons or other supplies, and the proportion of food and grass was not large.
Until this time, Zhang Qi's army had not arrived at Huining Pass. Hearing the report ahead, Zhang Qi was amused and crying.
The combat mission was successfully completed. It is said that the Song army had to stop and have a good rest. All the men and horses had not closed their eyes for two days and one night. After several battles, they were all exhausted. However, they were fantastic and gave an order to Yanda. He asked Yanda to follow the soldiers of Agan City to enter Lanzhou City. He followed the Yellow River and pointed to Lanzhou City. Lanzhou was called Jintang City in ancient times. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. But like Kangu, because a large amount of troops were drawn, the remaining troops were mostly stationed at Jingyu Pass on the west side of Lanzhou to prevent the Song Dynasty from entering Lanzhou City from Miaochuan troops. At this time, the troops in Lanzhou City were also empty.
The two armies arrived at the city of Lanzhou in the dark almost at the fourth hour.
As soon as the Song army arrived, the soldiers guarding the city noticed that the Song army was trapped. At this time, the Song army was trapped. However, the number of troops in Lanzhou was small and it was the time to sleep the most sound. He never expected that the Song army was brave enough to enter Lanzhou. When Zheng Lang was at the peak of the limelight, he had never had the idea of Lanzhou. Moreover, now it was Xixia who had the upper hand on the surface. Therefore, although he realized that there was not many soldiers participating in the defense. After a fierce battle, the Song army successfully captured Lanzhou City with unprecedented success.
Before we could celebrate, the two armies joined forces to attack Xiguan Fort. At this time, Xiguan Fort was the same as Lanzhou City. The troops were very empty. Before noon, they changed hands again.
I can't chew it anymore. Moreover, the Xixia troops in Jingyuguan in front are strong.
Zhong Yi stopped running wildly, first sent people to report the situation to Zhang Yu, and then quietly sent a few people to sneak into the Huangshui River to contact Guo Cheng, who was sweeping the anti-Song tribes such as the Ji tribe, and then ordered the three armies to take turns to rest.
At this time, Zhang Feng's vanguard army had just arrived at Huining Pass. After hearing the news, even Zhang Feng couldn't help but sweat. He thought Guo Chengmeng before, but he didn't expect this little girl to be even more powerful.
If Han Qi was the commander, Zhong Yi and Guo Cheng might have been beaten to death. But the reason why Zhang Yu and Wang Shao became famous generals was not Han Qi. They cherished their subordinates more. In history, Wang Shao didn't even hold Li Yu and Han Cunbao. Zhang Yu silently regarded Guo Cheng as drinking all day long.
Although Guo Cheng did not obey the military orders, his troops entered Bajin Fort and Miaochuan City. At least he would have sacrificed more than a thousand Song troops less easily. He was suspected of being good at making good achievements, but his military achievements could not be denied. However, the soldiers later entered Miaochuan City, which was somewhat of a superfluous move. If Wang Shao had not remedy it in time, it might have caused trouble.
However, Zhong Yi's approach is different. If you don't seek Huangzhou, it may not be of much significance to obtain Lanzhou City. On the contrary, you will never die with Xixia. You will plan to plan Lanzhou and prepare for the attack on Xixia in a few years. Getting Lanzhou City is of great significance, which is equivalent to locking Huangzhou and Xixia East Road. There is also the West Road of Dabadou Valley, but the road is difficult and rugged. When Yang Guang's attack on Tuyuhun, he lost one-third of the soldiers. Moreover, although he could not lock up the Hexi Corridor in the Hexi Corridor, he was blocked by one-third. As long as he goes further and takes over the Liang and Ganzhou states, it is equivalent to completely cutting off the Hexi Corridor from the territory of Xixia.
But after getting Lanzhou, I made a plan to predict it.
While wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Zhang Feng thought of remedies. What should he do when he encountered these fierce subordinates? Wang Shao wiped Guo Cheng's butt, and he could only wipe his butt for Zhong Yi. While ordering the army behind to speed up and enter various city passes, he asked Lu Gong to transfer his troops from the army to Weizhou, so that the remaining troops in Weijing would enter Kan Valley in advance, otherwise it would affect the entire military operation.
The Song army was acting too fast this time, and the news was fed back to Xingqing Prefecture, and many people still didn't believe it. After confirmation, all the people in Xixia were shocked. The reason was very simple. Not only was the Kangu area and Lanzhou lost, but Liang Yi buried more than 100,000 troops in a large cage.
Zhang Yu was remedial, and Zhong Yi and his subordinates slept until the next day before they got up.
Zhong Yi and Yan Da looked at each other and laughed out loud.
Zhang Feng racked his brains behind him, and the two of them ignored it. They only thought that they had done something earth-shaking. Before it was time to celebrate, there was still a city in the West, Jingyu Pass.
The two gathered their troops and embarked on the journey again, heading to Jingyu Pass.
When the army arrived in front of Jingyu Pass, it did not immediately attack Jingyu Pass, but ordered camps. Jingyu Pass had 3,000 Xixia defenders, which were more than enough to defend the pass, but they did not dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight.
On the second day, Guo Cheng stopped sweeping, arrived as promised, gathered his subordinates, headed east and rushed towards Jingyu Pass, preparing to jointly attack Jingyu Pass, one east and one west. When the defenders of Jingyu Pass heard that Guo Cheng's army was coming, they saw that it was not good, so they cleverly left Jingyu Pass, fled to the southwest, crossed the Yellow River from the southwest, and fled to the Zhuola and the Southern Army Division station on the banks of the Karochuan (Zhuanglang River).
Without abolishing a soldier and a soldier, Jingyu Pass was captured. In fact, the Xixia people resisted and attacked each other from the east and west, Jingyu Pass would be lost.
Since then, not only Lanzhou has been in control, but it has also formed a line with the West Road Army from Jingyuguan to Miaochuan.
Its significance is extraordinary. Guo Cheng and Yanda met at Jingyuguan, and joked to beat Zhong Yi's chest and said, "Boy, you awesome."
"I dare not, I dare not, I learned from General Guo."
Guo Cheng touched his butt and said, "Boy, I will attack Miaochuan City and let your Mount Tai beat you for a hundred sticks. This time you are ready to get hit by a big board."
Zhong Yi said: "General Guo, it's okay. It's really not possible. I'll call my wife to Lanzhou."
Guo Cheng was depressed, and Zheng Lang's daughter stopped him in front. Who dared to beat the big board of Zhiyi? Finally, she said angrily: "No, you have to invite me to drink."
"good."
The two armies drank and ate meat happily in front of Jingyu Pass. No matter what, because the Xixia soldiers entered the ancient Weicheng, causing many crises, they finally made their heads proudly, and the whole army was very happy. On this day, they almost drank all the fine wine stored in Jingyu Pass.
But the crisis has not ended. Now the main question is whether the Song army is a whale or an elephant?
Wang Shao is in danger of Wang Shao. As the army penetrates into Henan, he is about to face the possibility of Qingzhuang, Dong Wen and the Dong family joining forces to fight back on their backs on three sides.
The Song army successfully captured Ningguan, Kangu and Lanzhou, and locked Liang Yi in 150,000 troops. Liang Yi was about to withdraw troops sooner or later, and the people of Xixia would also fight back. If the Xixia army on both sides joined forces properly, it would not only tear the cage, but also bring a devastating blow to the Song army.
