"From the beginning of August to the middle of September of the fourth year of Daguan, the main force of the Western Xia Army, the Chage Division, due to strategic mistakes and the appearance of a basket of logistics supplies, invested a total of 270,000 troops, besieged Hezhongfu, an important logistics town in the northwest, and was pinned down by Gao Fangping. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"In the area north of Hezhong Province, there are about 100,000 remnants of the Western Xia army. However, due to the proper application of Gao Fangping's strategy and tactics, after the great victory at Shilong Pass in early August, the war initiative in the Northwest Theater officially changed hands. Taking advantage of Chage's erroneous strategy to contain its main force in Hezhongfu, Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road invested 190,000 troops, successfully cutting off the echo between Chage's department and the northern department, forming a counter-encirclement. ”

In early August, Liu Yanqing's troops gathered 70,000 troops to launch the Battle of Jinju. In mid-August, the Daoist Department of the Seed Division gathered 60,000 troops to launch the Battle of Jiezhou. The two battles were declared victorious at the end of August. ”

"From the end of August to the middle of September, the Qin Feng military department and the Yongxing military department, relying on the subdued Jiezhou and Jinzhou, respectively, launched 19 large and small campaigns against the remnants of the Western Xia, annihilating the Western Xia army of 3 to 40,000, and the loss of our two sergeants should be between 10,000 and 15,000."

"At present, Liu Yanqing's troops have gone north according to the new combat order to start the Battle of Fenzhou, and the next step will be to take Yinzhou. The Daoist Department of the Seed Master has won five battles and five victories, and has basically recovered the area north of Yan'an Mansion. ”

Above, when the Great Dynasty was making a half-year summary, Tao Jiefu was in high spirits on behalf of the Privy Council and made a northwest military report to the emperor.

Zhao Ji said with a good smile: "With the old and serious Tao Qing sitting in the imperial court, and the brave and warlike Xiao Gaoqing's family deployed on the front line, my country will be stable, and I can rest assured." All the secretaries have worked hard for the country at a critical moment, and they have all worked hard. ”

However, this is only the bright side.

The bad thing is that although the strategic situation in the northwest has been completely reversed, it is only necessary to wait for Fenzhou and Yinzhou to be "liberated", then it can officially declare the recovery of all lost territory. However, the main force of the Chakor Department was still there, and 270,000 troops were gathered to besiege Hezhong Province.

As an important logistics town in the northwest and the backbone of the northwest battlefield, if Hezhongfu falls and Gaofangping is destroyed, then the situation will be reversed and it will become a new big problem.

Will you be able to hold on to Hazhong Province?

In Tao Jiefu's experience, it can't be kept.

Although Xiao Gao is brave and good at fighting, and the defense of Hezhong Mansion is not bad, but with less than 20,000 troops, it is really fantastic to resist the fourteen times the strength of the Chago Division, which is fighting against the water.

Although Gao Fangping's deviant thoughts Tao Jiefu could understand, he was willing to use his meat shield to bite Brother Cha and tear apart, creating a fighter for Liu Yanqing and the Daoist Department to recover the north and grab the autumn harvest grain. This is important because if most of the lost territory is not recovered before the autumn harvest, it means that the Western Xia army, which has food in hand, is passive, but it is also close to full state resurrection.

It was really not a good thing for this to happen when the main force of Western Xia was still in the hands of Chage, and it was really necessary to fight a protracted war for several years, just like the previous Song and Xia battles, emptying the treasury in one fell swoop and killing every trace of productivity in the northwest.

Therefore, Gao Fangping seems to be gambling on the fortune of the country, but he really has to do it. At present, the Daoist Department of the Seed Division has basically completed the combat mission assigned by Gao Fangping, and at the same time, it has basically maintained the strategic encirclement of the Chage Division.

But at this point, the Seed Master Dao Department can't move. Because he also had to be cautious about confronting the Zhuoluo military division north of the Great Wall.

Then the best situation is: Liu Yanqing's Battle of Fenzhou and the Battle of Yinzhou must be completed in a short period of time and at a small cost, so as to make a strategic maneuver, divide troops to the south, and cooperate with the Daoist Department to harass the main force of the Chage Division, so as to reduce the pressure on Gao Fangping's troops to guard Hezhong Mansion.

Once such a strategic balance is achieved, Tao Jiefu is confident that he will defeat the main force of the Chage Department in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning of spring next year.

I think so, but the so-called good news does not report bad news, Tao Jiefu and Uncle Zhang will also.

Now they are only looking for good news to tell Zhao Ji, and they are deliberately concealing the danger of Gao Fangping's department, which is the political consultation reached by all of you now.

Otherwise, the ministers led by Cai Jing were really frightened by Zhao Ji earlier, Zhao Ji was not so simple as escaping, Liang Shicheng had a secret report to Cai Jing and Zhang Shuye, saying that the official family had a tendency to pick children and wanted to pass on the throne to Zhao Huan, the king of Jingzhao County.

Damn, although Zhao Huan is the eldest son and a reasonable and legitimate heir, no one dares to say this. But that's a child, at what point has it really become, that is, the queen becomes the queen mother to listen to the government, and with the relationship between Xiao Gao's shark and the queen mother, he is Zhao Huan's actual master. Then even Uncle Zhang is careful, the little shark came to power prematurely when he was indefatigable, and a group of people were going to cry blind.

So that's it, the opinion of the people led by Cai Jing is like this: Don't scare the emperor. Don't let the little devil get his "ambition" too early......

At the beginning of October, the vigorous offensive and defensive battle of Hazhong Province was underway.

It seems that the Chage Department has fought 23 large and small battles with Gao Fangping. But both sides are mentally aware that they haven't really warmed up yet, and they haven't done a big tear to tear it out.

Both sides are still in the tentative stage.

Brother Cha has always been testing and observing how big Gao Fangping's peak defensive ability is, testing the materials, morale, and military adequacy of Hezhong Mansion.

And Gao Fangping is also testing how much his brother wants to take Hezhong Mansion, what is his morale and overall combat quality? How much is he willing to pay to take Hezhong Mansion?

However, at this point, in fact, both sides have not yet bottomed.

Gao Fangping knew that the morale of the Chago tribe was limited, and as an attacker, he had nearly 300,000 troops to besiege him, and of course he could take Hezhong Province. However, Gao Fangping's conclusion now is: Brother Cha is still hesitating whether to pay a painful price to bite Hezhong Mansion?

This situation is a dilemma for everyone. If he finally takes Hezhong Province, but the price is too painful, Hezhong Province will only be an isolated city, and after the morale is low to the limit, it means that Cha Ge will no longer be able to go home with this disastrous army.

This is Brother Cha's dilemma, at present, the main force of Western Xia is still in his hands, as long as he is willing to partially admit defeat, he can still return to Western Xia with a high probability of taking these 270,000 elites. The encirclement of Seed Master Dao and Liu Yanqing will most likely not be able to contain this torrent of wanting to go home.

In fact, that's the best outcome for both sides.

But now it seems that Brother Cha, or his subordinates, is still unwilling and is still testing fiercely. And Gao Fangping is also doing his best to make war mobilization, using lions to fight rabbits to shake every attack of the Tangut people.

This is the battle of momentum.

It is necessary to make the confidence to hold the trump card to "stud", so that Brother Cha subconsciously feels that the price of biting Hezhong Mansion is unacceptable, so that the two sides can temporarily achieve a balance.

Of course, Gao Fangping's method of fighting against tough guys is relatively costly, and it has been nearly two months since he defended Hezhong Mansion, and the casualties are not light, and the most elite forbidden army department is fighting with blood under the tactics of saving firearms and crossbows, and the losses have been more than 2,000.

Although most of them are only injured, they need to recuperate, which has put a lot of pressure on the field medical team. Yes, that's all there is to it for now, but the health care capacity of Hazhong Province has reached its peak. If this method of warfare is maintained, the battle losses of the elite of the forbidden army will soon increase geometrically, and a large number of deaths will begin to occur due to poor treatment.

This is Gao Fangping's dilemma.

As for Brother Cha, his second problem lies in the Yongle Army's Shi Wengong Division.

The Western Xia army besieged Hezhong Province for two months, but the progress of manufacturing siege equipment in the rear was very limited, and it was never able to master the "peak siege" ability.

What is peak capacity? It is to use the overwhelming cloud chariots to surround the entire Hezhong Mansion and successfully form thousands of "troop projection channels", so that it is possible to use hard-core tactics to go to the city in one fell swoop and greatly eat Gao Fangping's elite defending the city.

Otherwise, since the tentative attack, Gao Fangping's troops are simply a group of crazy people with explosive combat power, and when the projection ability is not enough to officially attack Hezhong Mansion in a saturated manner, the slow flow of "Hundred Channels" troops is completely sent to him to brush up experience points and increase morale.

The most lethal thing is that although the siege ability value is slowly expanding, the progress is too slow. Because the "Western Xia War Workshop" in the rear has been raided twice by Shi Wengong, resulting in casualties among 2,000 craftsmen and auxiliaries, as well as the fact that many semi-finished products have been burned.

The helpless thing is that the Yongle army is super mobile, like a poisonous snake to see the attack, usually the siege battle enters the critical moment, and they come out when they have the most time to be distracted. Their elite heavy cavalry, as long as a thousand people attacked, can cause serious damage to tens of thousands of auxiliaries. It is not yet possible to round up.

Brother Cha could not mobilize the main force to eat Yongle County, because it was impossible, even the county seat would not be able to fight for a while, and once the troops were divided and left Hezhong Province, it was possible that ships from all over the country would infiltrate and start to transport strategic materials to Hezhong Province.

In addition, part of the troops of the Daoist Department of the division have begun to move south, and it is about to run through Yongle County, so Shi Wengong's department is also theoretically protected by the "chessboard dragon".

Fortunately, the morale of the Chago army has rebounded at present. Because of the food.

Chage couldn't get food elsewhere, but after besieging Hezhong Mansion for two months, Planter Dao and Liu Yanqing's troops were busy fighting in the north. So the grain in the Hezhong Fu area is all Chago's.

Many people thought that this was Gao Fangping's mistake, why not destroy the grain while evacuating the people of the seven counties?

However, first, there was not enough time, and second, this was deliberate by Gao Fangping. The ultimate goal is to use part of the grain to attract the Chakor Department in Hezhong Province, if they have no food and retreat strongly, not only will they destroy the plan of the Planter Dao and Liu Yanqing to liberate the north and grab grain, but they will also lose the opportunity to strategically encircle the Chakor Department.

Gao Fangping's consistent strategy was to completely annihilate the Western Xia army that had entered the country this time, and solve the hidden dangers in the northwest within ten years in one fell swoop. It's not that you can fight if you want to fight, but if you don't want to fight, you can break through and leave with the main army, so that you can come back in three years.
