Chapter 471 Labyrinth (1)
"Dingseng, what do you think?" Liang Yi asked.↗
Song Ji changed his name again and became Song Dingmei. Zhao Xu was so angry that he once issued a secret edict to this shameless traitor, who could get this traitor, would be rewarded with a thousand gold. However, Wang Ju liked it instead. The more Song Ji was valued by Xixia, the more he would be able to cheat his godfather.
"General, send troops immediately."
The Xixia soldiers were divided into three routes, one was the southern road of Renduolingding and Huanzhou Chexiangxia Road. The rest went to Baibao City and Jintang City. The road in Jintang City in North Second Road was wider. Although it did not belong to the two major business roads of the Tang Dynasty, it also had a glorious history, which was the secondary road of the famous Daqin Road. The Daqin Road was the avenue built by the Qin Dynasty to Jiuyuan County (near Baotou). The main road was from Yanzhou, Zichang and along the east side of the Wuding River, and it was connected to Jiuyuan. But there was also a secondary road, which started to branch from Huangling Juyuan Pass, crossed Ziwu Mountain, passed Huachi, that is, the road from Fengchuan Fort to Liyuan Fort, went straight to Tiejiao City, passed Hengshan, and entered Jiuyuan from Dingbian. Dingbian was Yanzhou in Xixia now.
It was built many times during the Qin and Han dynasties, making it flat and wide, and paved with yellow sand.
However, in the Tang Dynasty, it was gradually replaced by two avenues, Huanzhou and Suizhou, and all the passes such as Xiangtiejiao City also disappeared.
It is not as wide and flat as the two major business roads, but it is also an important road.
However, in this kind of weather, the Xixia marching speed could not be faster. Until now, there are still troops on the way.
But this side is better than the other two routes. The road in Baibao City is relatively rugged and I can't get up quickly. The road in the carcass is the army of Henan, and all troops have to travel a long distance. Therefore, the speed of the two routes gathering is slower.
But many people don’t like Song Ji. Gu Le can say: “So what to do with food and grass?”
"General Gule. Even if we don't use troops, will the Song Dynasty not evacuate the people? Even if the Song Dynasty does not evacuate the people, how many villages can we break through?"
Of course, under the crushing of 300,000 troops, no village can be saved, but can Xixia be worthy of making a significant sacrifice for these villages and a little wealth and food?
But after getting Qingzhou, it was two different. Almost all the Han people on the other side of Ziwu Mountain were Han people. Then there would be huge gains in invasion at any time.
Song Ji continued: "However, now is an opportunity. No matter which fortress in the Song Dynasty, it will receive a lot of supplies for weapons, and all the people in each village will evacuate, garrison and store food and grass."
Most of the villages on the front line are foreign villages, and they face the possibility of the Western Xia invasion at any time all year round.
Therefore, they all chose to build villages in places with dangerous terrain, which often became a constraint on the entry of Xixia into Qingzhou. Now it is all empty. It can be regarded as a barracks and a granary.
So this is a solid wall and clear field. You can see it like this or that.
It is also different from the battle between the Hequ River in Liaoxia. It is not only the Great Desert, the Gobi Desert, and the Great Wilderness. It is also the evacuation, and there are so many houses.
There is some reason for Song Ji to say this.
Now the evacuation of Qingzhou has brought endless panic to the people, and the entire Qingzhou is in chaos. If you don’t send troops at this time, when will the troops be sent?
Liang Yi buried his arms and said, "Then send troops."
…………
"Gao Dujian, what else do you need?" Dou Shunqing said.
After Wang Ju came to Qingzhou, he reused some "direct descendants", which was inevitable.
Therefore, Dou Shunqing deliberately recommended some candidates to Wang Ju, but there were still some generals who were not valued by Wang Ju, such as Guo Qing, the chief of Huanqing Road.
Fortunately, Wang Ju reused Gao Min.
Don’t underestimate the eunuchs. Some eunuchs in the Song Dynasty were really good, just like Qin Han during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song, even Yang Liulang was beyond the reach of the world.
There is also the later Li Xian. The miserable defeat in the five-way attack on Xia actually had little to do with Li Xian. On the contrary, Li Xian performed very well in that series of battles.
Then when selecting this important candidate, Dou Shunqing recommended Gao Min again.
"Don't use it," Gao Min said proudly, "Our family should live up to Mr. Dou's trust."
He would not thank Wang Ju, even though the officers and soldiers of the sixth battalion were deliberately selected by Wang Ju.
Dou Shunqing was still a little worried.
"We have it at home." Gao Min patted the "Qianli Mile Mile" hanging on the body of the personal soldiers behind him.
Then he said to the personal soldier: "Bai Jiu, our family will pass on an order to you. No matter what happens on the battlefield, you must not take risks. Even if our family is killed, you must not rescue him. However, do not protect it. If our family sacrifices, you will entrust it to Xiangfang. If Xiangfang sacrifices, you will entrust it to Qi Zhong, in turn, Guansuo, Huangfan, Songping, and Chu Banzhou."
"Here."
"You are also listening to the commander of Xiang. If our family dies, please follow the commander of Xiang. If Xiang is sacrificed, please follow the commander of Qi and continue to follow the commander of the same. Guan, Huang, Song, and Chu."
The officers and soldiers of the sixth battalion, the first battalion of the imperial soldiers, are also the battalion with relatively strong combat effectiveness among the imperial soldiers of the battalion. This battalion also participated in the last battle of Dashun City. The commander was Xiang Fang.
There are only two battalions of Qingbian crossbowmen on Huanqing Road. They are selected to select the best archery skills of the French and Han soldiers, which specialize in crossbowmen as weapons. One battalion is in Huanzhou and the other battalion is in Qingzhou. This battalion in Qingzhou is the battalion led by Qi Zhong.
The first battalion of Poches is also the local Poche army in Gyeongju, and the commander is Guansuo.
The remaining three battalions were all Poche troops sent from Zheng Baiqu.
This was also deliberately selected by Wang Ju. Gao Min would not doubt his combat effectiveness, but they were all in Zheng Baiqu and were not familiar with the terrain in Qingzhou, so Gao Min was ranked at the end.
"Here." The six people replied in unison.
Before this industry, Wang Ju made no promises.
There are too many troops to make any huge promises.
However, Wang Ju said: "This trip will be paid priority to this."
It's enough. Even if there is sacrifice, the profits of the soju workshop will be free of worries.
"Prepare for each of you."
Six will go down.
They began to change their officers and soldiers of the Sixth Battalion.
The best armor.
The best weapon, the entire two battalions of divine arm bows.
The remaining battle swords were also the new type of lifting swords that had just been developed and the small number of vine shields. They also equipped them with the soldiers of the six battalions to the greatest extent.
There is also a special combat boot, which has leather and cloth, but there is a layer of wooden board under the sole of the boot, and some shoe nails are installed under the wooden board to prevent slippage.
As well as the various arrangements after this battle, Dou Shunqing couldn't even think of anything to give Gao Min. Wang Ju had all arranged it.
Seeing the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Battalion busy, Dou Shunqing only said one sentence: "Fortunately, the enemy attack was too hasty and the troops had not reached their peak."
Gao Min nodded and said in a muffled voice: "If our family sacrifices, please pass on a word to Ming Gong for our family. The eunuchs are also officials of the Song Dynasty and people of the Song Dynasty. They also want to serve the king and settle the people."
…………
Liang Yimeng rushed towards Dashun City with his army.
He can't blame him for being arrogant. Although the troops have not arrived yet, his tent has reached nearly 90,000 troops.
The entire Huanqing Road, including Wang Ju's 86th Battalion Poche, and all the strong men and horses. Together, it was not as strong as his men, or at least the troops that could obey commands, and not as strong as his men.
Why, for example, can the strong men and horses of the Murong clan obey the orders of the court and participate in this war?
Or some people with old age and young ones, and only children at home, or some elderly, weak, sick and disabled people, can they bear to let them go to the battlefield?
Or some tribes that are remote from the main battlefield, such as the rear of Huanzhou, especially the tribes at the junction of Song and Xia, are they unrelated to their own affairs and are willing to cooperate with the Song army's war?
Therefore, the huge 30,000 strong horses and strong men could only draw half of them out.
So these nearly 90,000 soldiers and horses are almost an invincible existence in the entire Qingzhou.
The army headed eastward, with war drums shaking the sky and flags covering the sun.
When we were about to arrive in Dashun City, the scout came to report: "General, some strange things appeared in front of Dashun City."
When they came, Xixia didn't know that the Song Dynasty was prepared, so they continued to gather in Jintang City under the banner of the Baoan Army and Yanzhou, trying to continue to confuse the Song army.
But the first battle must be in Dashun City.
After the last battle in Dashun City, Cai Ting was forced to be in the shallow water in front of Dashun City, and almost everyone could flow through it. Therefore, he set up a dam in front of him and built a water village on the dam to protect the dam.
However, during this period of time, the water moat no longer works, and the water moat has also formed a thick frozen state, enough to run away.
But Liang Yimian is not very confident about whether he can win Dashun City. At least he has almost no confidence in winning Dashun City in the first battle.
Therefore, the plan is to launch several tentative attacks on Dashun City to see if it can surround the points and attack the reinforcements. If the Song army does not send reinforcements to rescue them, they will first surround Dashun City, and then take advantage of the chaos to divide the troops to the rear of Dashun City, making the territory of Qingzhou even more chaotic. Then, see that fortress is weak and take down this fortress.
Then wait for the other two groups to launch an attack or cooperate to capture Anjiang Fort, then the three huge troops will form a whole.
In short, this logistics still made Liang Yi feel distressed.
"What weird thing?"
"Some strange walls." Before the scout could make it clear, the scout came over to report: "General, war has begun in front of him."
Nowadays, Dashun City is still very strong. Two brigades are commanding two brigades and the 22nd Battalion. In addition, there are more than 2,000 strong men and horses drawn from the rear, and more than 400 people who volunteered to participate in the war. Gao Min's sixth battalion officers and soldiers cannot be counted. There are other arrangements and we must now accumulate energy.
Dou Shunqing stared at the outside of the city. The vanguard of Xixia outside the city had arrived and was building a camp.
"Lin Guang, can you defeat them?"
This is not Wang Ju’s plan, but it is indeed a fighter jet right now...
Lin Guang looked at the enemy outside the city with a lot of troops, and even if he marched forward, there were more than 10,000 people. What was bad was that the enemy troops in the rear could come over at any time. If he wanted to leave the city to fight, he had to end the entire battle in one hour. However, it was indeed an opportunity. The people of Xixia were too arrogant and careless to rely on their superior forces. They came here again, which was not a long distance, but marching in this ice and snow, the three armies must be very tired.
He thought for a while and said, "Dou Gong, OK, but I have a request. I will lead the soldiers of the Eighth Brigade out of the city to attack, and then ask Duke Dou to send troops to support him when he is in the critical moment."
"good."
After the two had a brief conversation, Lin Guang quickly assembled the army.
Chapter completed!
