Chapter 265 Zhu Xu (Part 2)
"Mr. Cai, we have burned their food and grass." Eunuch Huang asked in confusion.
"Whoever stipulates that the enemy will escape once the food is burned?"
"Then, that..."
"The main purpose of burning out food and grass is to hit the morale of the enemy, but at present this kind of battlefield has become a burden to our army. In addition, it is insufficient troops. If someone has more troops, as long as the Xixia is defeated locally, it will be a great victory. However, I asked Mr. Lu for troops, but Mr. Lu never sent a single army, which is hateful." Cai Ting was not stupid. Lu Shu didn't send a single army, so he was also angry, but it was difficult to sue the emperor directly. Maybe some ministers would say that his cadres were troublesome. It was not good at first, but they were greedy for me and war, which led to danger.
And he saw too much, such as the Qingli New Deal. At that time, he had a good relationship with Fu Bi and the others, but he saw the arrogance and inversion of black and white of so-called gentlemen, especially Han Qi's power struggle, and Ouyang Xiu's jumping up and down, he didn't say anything.
Not only him, but also Zhang Fangping. At first, Zhang Fangping had a good relationship with gentlemen, but later, after seeing some people perform, he also chose to remain silent.
They were just silent, and some people really turned against each other, such as Ouyang Xiu's brother-in-law Wang Gongchen. At the beginning, Wang Gongchen was a gentleman, but later he couldn't see it anymore. Let's draw a clear line and I will take the initiative to be a villain.
There are similar futures, such as Su Che. He did not make enemies with Wang Anshi and because of his father's grudges. However, Su Dongpo did not know the importance of the matter at that time and continued to jump. However, he saw some bad situations in the reform and began to alienate Wang Anshi and then became a political enemy.
But now gentlemen are in power. This is the reason why Cai Ting didn't speak much in the battle of Dashun City in history. So in the end, everyone read the history books and it is not easy to notice Cai Ting's existence. Maybe they thought it was Han Qi who fought, Wang Juyuan, and Lu Shi who fought...
However, Cai Ting is quite scheming. Although he did not enter the two palaces until his later years, it was rare for anyone to attack him. He was slippery and could not find a reason to attack him.
So Eunuch Huang is here, just right. By the way.
This article is similar to Wang Ju's mentality.
Eunuch Huang didn't know that he was all called by guns by both of them. Instead, he felt it was very reasonable: "Yes, compared to the 100,000 troops in Xixia, the Huanqing Road is too small, and Mr. Lu is in trouble. He guarded the territory of the Song Dynasty, not Yanzhou, how could he not know the importance of it?"
"Who said it was not? Yesterday, I talked with Wang Ju and talked about this person. Wang Ju sighed very much, saying that if Mr. Cheng was there, with Mr. Cheng's sophistication, this battle would not only increase troops, but also take down Jintang City. The road from Jintang City to Dashun City is the main road. The remaining two roads are relatively rugged, and the road from Twelve Pans is even more rugged. Once Jintang City is lost, the enemy's aura will be even lower, which accelerates the defeat of the bandits, and when they escape, they have to escape from two rugged roads. How many bandits will they kill and hurt?"
This is related to another truth, that is, the casualties in the battle of the Great Battle, the fire attack in the Battle of Red Cliffs, and the flooding of Wang Ju did not count. Both sides were organized on the real battlefield, and casualties were on the periphery. Therefore, during the battle of the Great Battle, the casualties did not appear on the front battlefield, unless it was a little bit by the good water tank, but the Song army also bit the Xixia people hard. This result, Cai Ting and Wang Ju didn't want it. Or like the third battalion Poche forced the Iron Harrier just now.
Besides, the troops are also different. That is because the Xixia people have an absolute advantage in military strength. How can the Song army have an advantage in military strength now?
It is precisely because of the lack of military strength that even the two battles in Huachi County made many Xixia people escape back.
Also, the military strategy says that there are three sieges and one siege, which means that there are troops, and there are no sieges and nothing to keep, and that will force the Xixia people into a battle of trapped beasts. Is that really a good thing?
Therefore, Cai Ting and Wang Ju would not think about the heavy damage to the Xixia people on this frontal battlefield, but they were chasing them.
The casualties mainly occurred in the pursuit. Why did Pan Mei and Yang Ye’s battle in Yanmen not kill many Liao troops, but behind it was the road and flee. In the battle of the whole city, so many Liao people were killed. The Song army forced the Liao army to the mountain road in the west mountain. Many Liao people were not killed by the Song army, but trampled on or fell off the cliff and died.
Maybe this situation is not clear to future generations, but it is easier for people of this era to understand.
So the strategy set yesterday was to defeat the Xixia army in the east of the city, forcing them to escape to the west of the city. However, the Song army had Dashun City, and might send troops directly from the highway in the city. At that time, the defeated soldiers in the east of the city were attacked, and the Song army launched another attack, and the troops on both sides of the Xixia collapsed. The Song army then pursued, and this was the time to kill and capture the enemy's enemy in large quantities.
Cai Ting downplayed a few words and then expressed his interests.
Let’s talk about it “just”. At this time, the troops are insufficient, can he not get angry at all?
Wang Ju also said "just" about it.
Eunuch Huang also thought the two of them were talking "intentionally", but he remembered it in his heart.
This is exactly what it means to say that people are good and stupid people are controlled by others...
After applying eye drops to Lu Shu, Cai Ting continued to look at the battlefield. At this moment, he finally saw the dynamics of the cavalry.
Now he didn't know why several cavalrymen could kill Li Liangzuo in such a chaotic battlefield, but he knew that this might be a great opportunity. To put it bluntly, this reminded him of Gaoliang River and Yelu Xiuge was also weak, but he took Emperor Taizong of Song. Although he did not kill Zhao Kuangyi, he forced Zhao Kuangyi to escape shamefully, and then defeated the Song army.
But that time, there were famous generals such as Pan Mei in the army. Although the central army retreated, they were organized in time. Therefore, although it was gone, it could not be called annihilated. However, the defeat at Qigou Pass later was really miserable.
And his eyes became brighter and brighter because he saw Zhao Ming breaking through many enemies and killing him on the hillside.
So he immediately ordered: "Master Wang, take these battalions of officers and soldiers into the army."
"What should you do if you are Mr. Cai?"
"At the moment of life and death, the victory or defeat is about to be decided, so I can't care about it." Cai Ting said righteously.
But he couldn't attack Cai Ting. Wang Zhaoming led the officers and soldiers of several battalions to attack. He had only dozens of guards around him. If there were warriors among the Xixia people, they would also carry out the dragon-slaying tactics, there might be really big trouble.
A golden light finally appeared in the east. The sun had not come out, but was about to come out. Under Dashun City, it was also at a critical moment. The victory or defeat was about to be decided...
…………
Compared with the huge battles in the east, wars began to happen in the west.
There are still thousands of Xixia soldiers here, one is the granary in the inner encirclement. This logistics is also divided into two parts, part of which is in Jintang City and Baibao City, but not many, and the rest is transported to the front line, right here. Six or seven hundred officers and soldiers are guarding it.
There are also external troops, which are similar to hundreds of soldiers from the Yeli tribe. They are all unsuccessful tribes, and they are all used to carry food and grass. To be said to be soldiers, they are more like men who work as coolies.
Of course, it is not easy to burn the food and grass of the Xixia people. First, you must break the outer defense line and then break the inner defense line. Even if the Song army's magical weapons descended from the sky, it would take a long time. The soldiers in front also had time to come. Moreover, this was in the rear, so Li Liangzuo did not pay much attention, but he did not dream that the Song army had reached his hand more than a year ago.
Under the leadership of Yeligujie, they let go of the big hole and asked Yao Xiong to lead the officers and soldiers of the two battalions to come in.
Without too much explanation, Yao Xiong rushed to the granary.
The war ahead also awakened many Xixia people, who were not wearing armor, but most of them were awake.
Seeing Yao Xiong pounce on him with his men, he hurriedly responded to the challenge.
Some of the Xixia soldiers on the periphery wanted to participate in the war, but Yeligujie also rushed over with his subordinates. Those soldiers who wanted to participate in the war were confused. Why did their families start to rebel? During this hesitation, Yao Xiong had taken the lead in killing the granary and ignited the food with a torch.
The fire became stronger and stronger, and Yao Xiong shouted: "As soon as the food and grass are burned, your army on the front line will inevitably be defeated. Flee quickly."
This is also the explanation brought to Yao Xiong by Wang Ju when he ordered that the commander of the Shun Envoy was the best and the attack was the best. As long as food and grass were burned, there was no need for bloody battles. If they could escape, let them escape. This is also the purpose of Wang Ju and Cai Ting. It is best to let them have the idea of escaping earlier. The earlier, the better, and the more, the better.
The hundreds of people guarding the food and grass were stunned, but Yeligujie led their subordinates and their tribesmen to pounce on the soldiers on the periphery. These people were the ones who didn't want to fight the most. When they saw Yeligujie and his subordinates were about to attack them, they ran away spontaneously. The hundreds of people thought it was not good, so they ran away with them.
Continue to burn.
At this moment, Li Liangzuo sent out his troops to arrive, and they were also stunned. Yao Xiong took his subordinates and Yeli's clan to the point of being attacked with bows and arrows, preventing them from attacking. At the same time, people from Yeli Gu's realm shouted: "The general attack of the Song army has begun. Without food and grass, the three armies will be defeated. Please run away quickly."
The crew stood below, not knowing what to do, but thought about it, but did not escape, but turned around and retreated to the camp.
Yao Xiong saw the opportunity and shouted: "Chasing."
After ordering, he took the lead and pounced on him.
There were many soldiers coming from that movie, but I was frightened and uneasy. In addition, Yeli Gujie kept shouting depressing words, his morale became even lower and he was instantly defeated by Yao Xiong.
Yao Xiong and his men continued to chase forward, after chasing for a while, stopped, and had already arrived in front of the main army of the Xixia people.
He did not attack blindly. Although a lot of troops were transferred away at this time and continued to increase troops to the east of the city, many troops were still left.
So Yao Xiong looked at it for a long time, then listened to the sound in the east, and suddenly thought of the story of the Battle of Feishui. So he gave a few instructions and took his subordinates and the subordinates of Yeligujie to kill him, shouting, "The State of Xia is defeated."
I really want to learn from Zhu Xu.
Yao Xiong must have made a mistake here for the time being. First of all, Zhu Xu was a famous general. Although Zhu Xu was captured by Fu Jian, it was only failed after the joint attack of the famous generals of the Former Qin Dynasty, Fu Pi, Gou Qian, Murong Wei, Shi Yue, Gou Chi, Mao Dang, etc., and just like that, he alone defended Xiangyang for a year and supervised Li Bohu to rebel as an internal support. Zhu Xu failed and was captured.
So that shouting is not that simple, it's just that these details are not recorded in history.
Just like the future historians recorded this battle, at most this sentence: the foreigners, Ye Ligu, surrendered to the Song Dynasty and joined forces with Yao Xiong to burn the thieves' food and grass. If they could record this sentence, then this battle might be recorded in detail.
God knows how many details are there when Zhu Xu shouts like this, and how many stories have happened?
Therefore, they were shouting, but it didn't work. On the contrary, many Xixia people surrounded them.
Yao Xiong saw that something was wrong and shouted: "Get together and rush towards Dashun City."
He thought there was another hope, that the battlefield in the east of the city would be chaotic, and he thought that Dashun City would send some troops to stay and rush forward. If the soldiers of Dashun City made a timely judgment and sent troops to respond, the battlefield in the west of the city would be chaotic again, and the enemy would be attacked on both sides and collapse.
However, where are there any troops available in Dashun City?
So this hardworking child becomes more and more difficult as he fights. The most difficult thing is Yeligujie. This battle must have made great contributions, but in order to make contributions, he will not be able to give up most of the Ding Zhuang here, right? (To be continued...)r1292
