Chapter 479 Greed(1/2)
As the fire rose into the sky, someone began to fight back spontaneously.
Although Liang Yimang had ordered that he would not act without his orders, but who would still listen to him at this time?
But it's really messy now.
Many tents were burning, and many soldiers were putting out fires. Unlike the Song Dynasty, most of the soldiers in Xixia were in the military service system. This involved another problem, that is, why the Xixia people had less cost to use troops?
Some people say they plundered, but what should they do if they defeated?
Some people say they are nomadic peoples, but what about nomadic peoples? Can they not eat or drink or stay?
The actual reason is not the above two, but the service system.
There is another example. The battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao. It is said that Cao Cao's troops were 400,000 and Liu Bei's troops were 350,000. But at first, Liu Bei did not have 350,000 troops. Because of his insufficient troops, even though he killed Xia Houyuan, he had to stalemate with Cao's army in the Han River. This historical fact was basically written, but Luo Guanzhong did not write another thing in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
That is, Shu Kingdom is actually a small country with weak power and a small number of soldiers. The stalemate continued at that time, which was very unfavorable to Liu Bei. Therefore, Liu Bei immediately sent people to Chengdu and asked Zhuge Liang to urgently send troops to support him. Yang Hong advised Zhuge Liang to be the first to survive and die. When men should fight and women should be lucky.
He actually forced women to be civilians.
[But has Shu destroyed the country?
Think about how much the Qingli War cost? I don’t know how many millions are, and it’s impossible to calculate. But in another battle, a minister made a statistics, that is, the Battle of Chanzhou. Although this scale is large, it lasts for a relatively short time. It was this battle. The Song Dynasty spent 70 million yuan!
But how many troops were actually used? Less than 200,000! Although there were more troops on the battlefield, Wang Chao and more than 100,000 Hebei troops continued to set up the Tianmen Formation in Dingzhou, which was useless at all.
If you play like Liu Bei, how much does it cost?
The actual reason is very simple, that is, the military service system.
This is also the reason why Han Qi and Wang Anshi repeatedly want to fight the military system.
However, since the Tang Dynasty, the military service system has actually been unable to be implemented in the Central Plains dynasty. Even some permanent troops in the Xixia and Liao Kingdoms began to implement semi-recruitment.
Now it's burning, from weapons to luggage, and even tents. It's your own private property, can you not save it?
But this rescue will be a mess.
Although some people wanted to fight back, there was no organization at all. But another problem came, it was a counterattack. But when they staggered and took a small step, the soldiers of the Pochet army gently slid with a ski pole and then slid out ten steps. With the unorganized counterattack, the counterattack was not strong, so there was no way to stop the thousands of Pochet army from continuing to fire rockets.
"What a pity." Many soldiers sighed on the top of the city.
"Is it a pity for you? If Dashun City has sufficient troops and takes advantage of the chaos, the Xia gang will be defeated?" Dou Shunqing asked.
"Mr. Dou, that's right."
"But have you ever thought that today, with the continuous arrival of Xia Kou reinforcements from the rear, there are more than 100,000 thieves gathered here. If we cannot defeat them, we will be trapped by them. Even if we have 30,000 soldiers and horses on our hands and besieged by more than 100,000 enemies, what will happen?" Dou Shunqing said.
"Besides, even if the Xia gangs are defeated, the enemy's territory is behind them. When Dashun City was fighting to such an extent, nearly half of the enemy on both sides of Dashun City still fled. Now all the enemy is in the west of the city. How many enemies can we kill and hurt, 20,000, and 30,000?"
What Wang Ju wants is not 20,000 to 30,000.
His ambitions are even greater.
Although he didn't even know the specific plan, most of the plans told more than a dozen brigade generals.
Wang Ju also expected that as the drum sounded, many generals felt sorry, so he deliberately explained Dou Shunqing and asked him to comfort the generals. Wang Ju even deliberately said to Dou Shunqing in a tactful tone, "I don't want to kill many people, but mainly to attack the morale of the enemy. Although the tone was tactful, it was actually an order!"
But facing this great opportunity, no matter what Dou Shunqing said, everyone's thoughts were still a bit mixed.
Liang Yi and the generals also got up. If they don’t get up again, the fire will soon burn their butts.
Under their command, the Xixia people gradually became orderly, and at the same time, a group of troops began to form a siege against the thousands of Poche troops.
"Get away," said Dou Shunqing.
The sound of retreating horn was blown on the top of the city.
Thousands of Song troops retreated quickly.
At this time, Liang Yimian was stunned. What is this? Why is it so fast? It seems to be faster than the speed of a war horse running on the snow-covered grassland.
Thousands of Song troops retreated safely, but left a mess to the Xixia people.
Liang Yimeng almost had tears in his eyes, which made people clean up the mess. What made him angry the most was that the Song people didn't consider his feelings at this time. As the thousands of Song soldiers returned to the city, drums sounded again on the city, and at the same time, someone shouted loudly: "Liang Yimeng, go home and eat your sister's breasts."
Liang Yimang didn't care about being angry and looked at Song Ji and asked, "Sir Song, what should I do?"
When things developed to this point, he was a little indifferent and didn't even know how to continue playing. Because he really didn't understand such a way of playing!
But Liang Yi buried the wrong candidate and regarded Song Ji as Zhang Pu, Zhang Yuan, Wu Hao, but Song Ji was not. Song Ji's eyes were even more confused at this time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Dorae can't stand it. In fact, after years of war, Xixia has also trained some generals who can fight. For example, Wang Shuwei and Minglangyu, who is about to have the strongest collision with Yan Da, Ye Binma, who suffered a lot of losses under Wang Ju, is also growing rapidly, and Mee Binma, who can fight. Even if it cannot be reused for various reasons, besides these generals, there are other generals, which are at least better than letting Liang Yibian be the head coach.
But he should not be impatient at this time, and Dorae was also afraid that Liang Yi was angry and embarrassed, so he vented his anger. Maybe he would be buried by Liang Yi and beheaded. He tried his best to say in a comforting tone: "General, good fortune and good fortune are bound to each other. In fact, this small disaster is really lucky."
Liang Yi buried him and said he was stupid.
Du Du Lae said again: "General. Think about it. Just now, the Song army in Dashun City has sufficient troops and will take advantage of the chaos to fight, what will happen?"
Liang Yimeng couldn't help but tremble.
Wang Ju had a little bit of an appetite, but Liang Yima was not willing to fail. As long as he failed this journey and the remaining two had to retreat, the battle that used money and money in Xixia would end in failure. The consequences were not only failure, but also the rule of the Liang family could shake.
But he underestimated his sister. All of them underestimated the Liang family, including the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty and Wang Ju.
To control power does not necessarily mean to fight.
Just like the Tubo Wulu clan killed Han Xin, Wei Qing, Li Jing's level Tubo God of War Ren Qinling, will Wulu clan fight?
Or, for example, Wu Zetian, since Li Zhi died, Wu Zetian was officially authoritarian. Let’s see how many times the Tang army was defeated. Can it prevent Wu Zetian from becoming the queen?
This is not military, but power and tricks. In terms of power and tricks, few people in Xixia can match the Liang family.
Song Ji hurriedly said from the side: "General Du Duo is right. This is God bless my Daxia, and His Majesty the Queen Mother."
What should I do? Although this series of failures has nothing to do with him, the plans along the way are mostly made by him, so I quickly flattered and calmed down Liang Yi.
Duola was so angry that he wanted to kick Song Ji to death. He said again: "General, although hundreds of soldiers were burned to death because of this fire, the losses were not too heavy. He lost some tents and supplies. Because the fire was extinguished in time, there was no loss of food and grass, and most of the supplies were saved, and nearly 80% of the tents remained. If this loss can be afforded, as long as you capture any fortress in the rear of the Song Dynasty, you can make up for it ten times and a hundred times. Therefore, the most urgent task is to do the main business."
"Yes, do the right thing."
Anyway, everyone will definitely not be able to sleep, so I will send someone to cut down wood, make plates, and repair ice walls.
Now Liang Yi buried him no longer dares to say that the Song army was a turtle huddled in Dashun City. Even a turtle was a turtle spirit that had been practicing for a thousand years and had eaten people without spitting bones.
Especially the Song army's sneak attack was unprepared for, and only by building an ice wall would everyone feel at ease.
Dudolae reminded again: "General, don't forget, you must also sweep away the ice and snow on the Nanshan Trail and send someone to check the whereabouts of that army... This army always makes me feel uneasy. Furthermore, send someone to contact General Liang Yongneng immediately."
This is all serious business.
It is impossible to build an ice wall and be stalemate with the Song army in Dashun City. That way, it is better to retreat earlier.
And if this continues, you can't take over Dashun City for the time being. Therefore, you have to take over Anjiang Fort and Anjiang Fort to connect the third-line troops, especially the food and grass. The Nanshan Mountain Road is rugged and it is impossible to transport food and grass in large quantities. The road in Anjiang Fort is not very good, but it can be opened to traffic. Hundreds of thousands of troops will immediately enter the Song territory. If there is insufficient food and grass and the fortress of the Song Dynasty, there will be big trouble.
All of them are anxious.
Liang Yimang nodded again and said, "Okay, I'll pass the order right away."
After ordering one by one, many soldiers began to be busy. Liang Yimeng looked at Dashun City and murmured: "Where did this old guy come out? Why didn't the Song Dynasty reuse it before?"
"General, this man has made great contributions before. The Chenzhou barbarians of the Song Dynasty rebelled continuously. As soon as this man left Chenzhou, he immediately suppressed the rebellion and forced the barbarian leader Peng Shixi to surrender."
The other side of Jinghu South Road in the Song Dynasty was also a big headache for the Song Dynasty, especially the Meishan Barbarians, which became a country in China. For nearly a hundred years, the Song Dynasty had no way to deal with this Meishan Barbarian. Please note that there is no ethnic problem here. On the contrary, the Song Dynasty has always used the method of Buying An to solve these border residents. However, the various practices in that area are simply unimaginable. Forcing the Han people to be slaves is a real slave, not a gang, cut open the belly of pregnant women, dig people's hearts and livers as food, and occasionally enter the Han areas to burn, kill and loot... etc. Liang Yi buried him and heard about it.
"And he served as the governor of Qinzhou for several months as a military general." Song Ji said.
However, at this time, Dorae had already had some doubts. Is it true that all this was done by Dou Shunqing?
But what he couldn't understand was, if it weren't for Dou Shunqing's actions, would Li Fugui have made these arrangements with his talent?
In short, at this point, Dorae felt uneasy.
Not only him, but even the scouts sent by Liang Yimeng became cautious along the way. Although as Du Lae said, these losses could be withstood. But at this time, the morale of more than 100,000 Xia soldiers dropped to freezing point...
…………
"Small ones, please see Mr. Han and Mr. Guo." Zhao Dajing said with a big bow and bow.
"Don't use too much politeness." Han Jiang said.
Of course, Zhao Dajing was still a little restrained. Although he had been with Wang Ju for many years, he was just an ordinary boy in Wangjiazhai. Han and Guo had such a high status, how could he not be nervous at all?
"Your Dalang has a big appetite," Han Jiang said again.
"Duke Han, this time I came here, first to see if I could go to Dashun City to see the actual situation. When I went back to report, second to send two letters to Duke Han and Duke Guo."
There is no way to do this either.
Others don’t know, but Wang Ju noticed that Han Jiang and Guo Kui had some disagreement because of Zhong Yan, and even Guo Kui publicly expressed his opinions on some occasions and opposed the opening of the Bian Luowu City. However, the opening of the Bian Luowu City was supported by Han Jiang.
So, two copies of the same letter must be written, otherwise Guo Kui will be angry.
The letter did not talk about Luowucheng anymore.
In fact, Xixia transferred troops to Qingzhou, which was a good opportunity for the other two groups.
However, Xifutu Village hangs alone at the top of the Dali River, and Luowu City is further away from Suide Military City. Therefore, I want to take the opportunity to dig out these two strongholds. Things have returned to the original situation of Zhong Yan. Several large forts must be built to form a solid chain defensive front. Otherwise, it can be seized but cannot be defended.
Not to mention that the court could not agree, even if it agreed, it would require a lot of people's and material resources to support it. However, Wang Ju transferred the people's and material resources to Qingzhou together.
So Wang Juwei in Suizhou said it, there is no need to say it.
But there are other opportunities.
To be continued...
