Zhong Fu was really hated this time, because he not only had to find trouble for the house slaves, but also robbed Zhang Shuye, Gao Yongnian and Tong Guan of their great achievements.

Just when Zhong Fu, Wang Hou, Seed Master, Wu Haowen and others hurried to the Ancient Bone Dragon City, Zhang Shuye, Gao Yongnian, Tong Guan, and Ren Duo Baozhong, who had just become a king because of the defeat in the battle, were discussing how to take Zhuoluo City and Qin Wangchuan in the Song army camp near the burned Ancient Bone Dragon City - it was still a bit far-fetched to become the king of the Great (Nian Dai) just by defeating the battle, and Renduo Baozhong still had to make some great contributions for the new master.

And if you want to help the new master make meritorious contributions, of course, you have to betray the old master, which is no way to do it!

Of course, Renduo's conscience is painful, but Tong Guan and Zhang Shuye are not ambiguous. Not only did he let go of the captured soldiers of the Renduo family, but he also took out the crispy rice cakes to the Renduo army, who was about to run out of food, and asked Renduo Anzhong to lead them to suppress Renduoquan City. At the same time, he also sent a military envoy to escort the 2,000 cavalry led by Ren Duo to take over the defense of Qingtang City!

This is really the greatest sincerity!

And in addition to sincerity, the ironclad infantry of the Song army also completely subdued Renduo Baozhong. In a bloody battle for a day and a night, he performed a fierce feat, defeated the 5,000 foot soldiers commanded by Renduo Anzhong, and also defeated the cavalry of the unknown Renjia family. After the war, less than 13,500 of the 20,000-strong army remained, excluding those who were captured.

In other words, the bloody battle of one day and one night, combined with the sporadic fighting that had preceded it, cost the Nindo family more than 6,500 men—on the surface, it seems that Nindo's army had lost more than 30 percent. But the actual losses were even more staggering, because the 20,000-strong army that Rinda was loyal to was composed of "regular soldiers" and "negative soldiers".

According to the military system of Western Xia, a regular army should be accompanied by three negative soldiers. However, only the elite who are stationed in Xing and Ling can be assigned according to this standard. The ratio of the main army to the negative reinforcement of the right wing army is usually only 1:1.

Therefore, out of the 20,000 troops led by Rinda Hochung, there were only 10,000 in the main army. And in the fierce battle of one day and one night, more than 3,800 people who were killed were almost all regular soldiers!

After this battle, I am afraid that there will be many more orphans and widows in Renduoquan City.

If it weren't for Uncle Zhang's strong order to Gao Yu Mingjin to withdraw his troops, the crazy knights and dragon warriors in front of the palace would have killed more soldiers of the Renduo family, and sooner or later they would have wiped out all the 20,000 troops of Renduo Baozhong!

Although Renduo Baozhong made a lot of mistakes in this battle of the Haoqian River, but he has fought for so many years of defeat, can he make fewer mistakes? But he never suffered such a loss.

Therefore, Renduo Baozhong, who has been in battle for a long time, knows very well that the main reason for the fiasco of the Battle of Haoqian River is that the Song army has a strong army that it has not had in the past. At least in Renduo Baozhong's life, he has never seen such an elite of the Song army.

Coupled with the legend of "Heavenly Khan Zhao Ji", Renduo Baozhong is now convinced, and he is completely disappointed in the future of the Great White High Kingdom.

The Great Song Dynasty has the Heavenly Khan, and the Great White Gaoguo is finished...... As a loyal minister of the Great White High Kingdom, Rindo Baozhong should naturally be martyred at this time. But he's also the patriarch of the Renduo clan! For the sake of his family, how could he refuse the prospect of being king in Qinghai?

……

"Tong Daguan, Gao Taiwei, and Zhang Taishou," Renduo Baozhong arched his hand at the three of them, "Now it is Dabai who is in Zhuoluo City...... is the puppet king of the Western Thief, and he is the commander of the army. Although this thief is young, he has very means, and he has won the trust of the chief of the Western Thief, Wei Ming, and holds the hammer of Shang Fangling.

He was accompanied by 1,000 Iron Harriers and 3,000 negative supporters, and later 2,000 garrisons and 5,000 negative supporters.

Moreover, Brother Cha has some means, and he has served as a deputy envoy in the Right Wing Army, and many soldiers will be encircled by him, and they may not obey his orders. ”

Unlike the Song Dynasty's past Kaifeng soldiers, who were all tofu racks, the elite of Western Xia were concentrated in Xing and Lingzhou, with a total of 25,000 garrisons, 3,000 iron harriers and 5,000 proton troops. A total of 33,000 people (only counting the main army), all of them are the strongest and best-equipped armies in Western Xia.

In addition, the Western Xia army also had military titles such as "Capture Life", "Splash Xi", "Shanjiao" (Bu Bazi), and "Crash Linglang". However, these armies were scattered under the various military divisions, and were actually the local garrisons of Western Xia. The combat effectiveness is simply not comparable to the garrison, the Iron Harrier and the Proton Army.

"1,000 Iron Harriers and 2,000 garrisons can be handed over to the front army of the palace to deal with." Tong Guan smiled and said, "How is our 5,000 palace army, the leader of Renduo has also seen it!" ”

In fact, there are not as many as 5,000 in the palace army under Gao Yu and Wang Yu. After the Battle of the Haoqian River, the total number of knights and dragon warriors who could still fight was less than 4,000.

However, the battle-hardened knights and dragon warriors have grown from new recruits (not all recruits) to battle-hardened veterans. If they can fully mobilize their enthusiasm, it is still enough to defeat the 1,000 Iron Harriers and 2,000 garrisons led by Wei Ming Chage.

Renduo Baozhong also agreed with Tong Guan's opinion, nodded, and said: "With the army in front of the palace, Brother Cha really can't win." Let's offer a plan next!

The three of them can use the method of attacking Qin Wangchuan to mobilize the main force of Chage, and then use elite troops to surprise attack Renshou Mountain City on the edge of the Kaluo River north of Gaizhu City and Zhuoluo City. ”

"Renshou Mountain Castle?"

"Where?"

"What's the matter?"

Tong Guan, Gao Yongnian and Zhang Shuye had never heard of the place name Renshou Mountain City, let alone what was important there.

Renduo Baozhong paused, and said word by word: "Renshou Mountain City is the place where the right wing military division is stored!" ”

"Where to store grain?"

Gao Yongnian and Uncle Zhang were both excited.

In the war in the northwest, logistics are extremely difficult. If you can fight the enemy because of food, then the battle between Zhuoluo City and Qinwangchuan can be won!

Renduo Baozhong nodded and said: "Renshou Mountain Castle is a mountain city built in the depths of the Kaluo River after taking charge of the Right Wing Army, and the city has hoarded millions of stones of yellow rice, barley and horse feed, as well as countless hay. ”

"Millions of stones?"

"How much!?"

"Isn't it enough to feed an army of 200,000 for a year?"

Millions of stone of rice grain is nothing to Jiehe Shang City, shipping from Liaodong, shipping from Haizhou, as long as there is money, not to mention one million stones, even ten million stones is not impossible.

But it is not easy to accumulate 100,000 stones here in Lanzhou! The delivery rate of less than 10 percent of 2,000 miles made the supply line from Luoyang Baibo to Lanzhou extremely expensive. Therefore, it can only be raised from the Fan tribe on Xihe Road, but these Fan tribes have a small population and the land they occupy is relatively poor, how much can they supply?

Therefore, food supply has always been a major bottleneck in the Xihe Road operation. Because of the lack of military rations, the Song army could not throw a large army north of the Yellow River to fight a protracted war.

And without enough troops, it is certainly impossible for the Xihe army to defeat the right wing army of Western Xia, seize the entrance to the Hexi Corridor, and divide everything in Western Xia into two.

Renduo Baozhong nodded and said: "The Western Thief has two places to store grain in the defense area of the Right Wing Army, one is Renshou Mountain City; Another place is Qin Wangchuan.

The water and soil of Qinwangchuan are still fertile in the west of the river, so it has always been the land of the western thief. Most of the yellow rice harvested in Qinwangchuan was stored in situ. Over the years, there are also reserves of two or three hundred thousand stones. If you can sneak through the jurisdiction of Shuibo City with thousands of elites, you can surprise attack the granary of Qinwangchuan. And by holding the granary, you can defend yourself for a long time and threaten the traffic between Hexi and Xingling.

So for Brother Cha, Qin Wangchuan is a place that cannot be lost! ”

Rindo's strategy to keep his loyalty has been very clearly revealed. The first is to use thousands of elite soldiers, that is, the group of house slaves in front of the palace, to attack the granary of Qin Wangchuan and occupy it.

Due to the geographical location of Qin Wangchuan, Brother Wei Ming Chage will inevitably lead the elite to counterattack. However, Brother Cha is not a commander without brains, and at the same time as he left the Karo River, Gaizhu City and Zhuoluo City, which are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Karo River, must be strictly defended. However, Renduo Baozhong also arranged a second surprise attack, a surprise attack on Renshou Mountain City in the depths of the Karo River, and captured the large granary of the Western Xia Right Wing Army in one fell swoop.

As soon as the Renshou Mountain City and the Qin Wangchuan granary were lost, the Right Wing Army under the command of Brother Cha had to starve. Without the support of these two granaries, Xingqing Mansion would not have been able to send a large army to fight a protracted war in the area of Qinwangchuan-Zhuoluo City.

In this way, Brother Cha will have to retreat with the Right Wing Army sooner or later, and the areas around Kaluo River and Qin Wangchuan will all fall into the hands of the Song army.

Then it won't be long before the Hexi Corridor will be cut off by the Song army!

"If you stole Sappa City? And how to surprise attack Renshou Mountain City? ”

Tong Guan then asked the most crucial question.

"There are henchmen in the defenders of Shuibo City, as long as the imperial army is fast enough, it is not a problem to steal before Chage cleans the Shuibo defenders."

In the end, Renduo Baozhong has been in power in the Right Wing Army for many years, and he still has some henchmen, and he now has the future of the king of the Qingtang Dynasty, he said: "As for Renshou Mountain City...... He personally led the way, took the path in the middle of the Karo River, and then took the secret passage into the city. ”

Renshou Mountain Castle was built under the auspices of Nito Hozhong, and when it was built, it was considered that it might be the last stronghold of the Right Wing Army in the Karagawa River, and it was besieged by the Song army, so a secret passage for counterattack was built.

"Good!" Tong Guan slapped his face and laughed, "Sure enough!" The great leader of Renta, if this battle is won. Our family will ensure that the big leader has all the Qinghai land west of Zongge City! ”

Rindo said: "If this plan is to succeed, it must be marched as soon as possible. If Brother Cha is prepared, I'm afraid it will be difficult to steal Shuibo City. ”

Tong Guan stroked his precious beard, nodded with a smile, and said, "After one more day's rest, tomorrow the army will go to Tongchuan Fort, and in five days at most, the army in front of the palace will be able to steal Shuibo City." ”

Obviously, in Tong Guan and Renduo's plan to protect their loyalty, the 4,000 elites of the palace army are still the key to success or failure......
