Chapter 658: Throwing Yourself into the Net
The morning light has not yet risen in the eastern sky, and between heaven and earth, there is still darkness. Only a bright moon in the sky, sprinkled with some dim light, so that the army could use this light to advance.
Under the moonlight, a team of more than 10,000 people is quietly walking in the valley. The human title, the horse's hooves, the halter and the chew tightly locked the horse's tongue to prevent them from neighing. The sound of dense and slight footsteps was accompanied only by the sound of rushing water.
Wang Hou and Tong Guan were at this time, together with the 10,000 cavalry under their command, leading their horses through the dark night. And it has been far away from Longzhu Heicheng, and has driven along the Huangshui to the lower reaches of the Huangshui near the Yellow River.
Marching in the dark is a somewhat risky operation. However, Wang Hou and Tong Guan decided to take the risk, as they expected that the Western Xia Right Wing Zhuoluo Supervisor was likely to send troops south to rescue Longzhu Heichengβa judgment based on his own military tactics against the often defeated general Renduo Baozhong.
Unless Qianshun, the ruler of the Western Xia Kingdom, decides to give up his support for the Hehuang Fan Tribe, he will definitely choose the shortest route to rescue Longzhu Heicheng with Renduo's recklessness.
And Wang Hou set a death trap for Renduo Baozhong between Huangshui-Yellow River and Tongchuan Fort!
The 30,000-strong army led by Gao Yongnian is now on standby around Tongchuan Fort, while Zhang Shuye and the famous general Wang Sunchen are commanding the 20,000-strong army to garrison Jingyuguan. Coupled with the 10,000 army led by Wang Hou and Tong Guan, the Song army assembled between Huangshui-Huanghe-Tongchuan Fort will reach 60,000!
As long as Renduo Baozhong is dispatched, Wang Hou will be sure to surround the army led by Renduo Baozhong on the north bank of Huangshui.
Once the encirclement is completed, Wang Hou will order Gao Yu and Wang Yu to settle the battle of Longzhu Heicheng and go north. With 4,000 hoplites and 1,000 armored knights as blades, most of the troops that Rinda Hotada brought out of Droro Castle would have been wiped out.
Even if the Jin King Chage of the Western Thief dispatched 3,000 Iron Harriers, there would be no way to destroy the 4,000 Dragon Warriors!
Once Renduo's loyal army was annihilated, Wang Hou would be able to quickly pacify the Shanzhou Fan Army, and then concentrate the main forces of the Huangzhou Fan and Xihe Army to attack Zhuoluo City...... Or don't fight Shanzhou for the time being, but concentrate on capturing Zhuoluo City and Kaluo River first!
Of course, this is Wang Hou's wishful thinking. The two of them didn't know that Zhao Ji and Cai Jing were plotting to win over Renduo to keep his loyalty......
In addition, they didn't know that it was no longer the often defeated general Renduo Baozhong who was talking about the affairs in Zhuoluo City, but the commander of the Western Xia capital who was holding the hammer of Shang Fangling, and the king of Jin, Wei Mingchage.
And Brother Wei Ming Cha is obviously more clever than Renduo Baozhong! Therefore, no one will recklessly drill into the pocket array placed by Wang Hou and Tong Guan.
At this time, Orthodox led an army of 20,000 people along the Liuling Mountains to Rindo Spring City. He didn't know that he had just escaped a catastrophe, and Wang Hou's army of 68,000 was enough to crush his 20,000 men! Even if Brother Cha sent the remaining troops in Zhuoluo City, it would be impossible to rescue him.
Because he didn't know that Brother Cha had just saved his life, Renduo Baozhong was quite dissatisfied with Brother Cha's cowardice!
Although he always lost battles, he was never afraid of the Song army...... However, Chage is now timid and avoids the war, which makes Rindo Baozhong very dissatisfied. What made Bao Zhong even more dissatisfied was that the arrival of Brother Cha made his commander and supervisor of the army an ornament.
The power of the Zhuo Luo Supervisor Military Division in the right wing has now all fallen into the hands of the coward.
Thinking of this, Renduo Baozhong couldn't help but sigh.
"Tongjun, are you worried about Longzhu Heicheng?"
Bao Zhong's henchman Rindo Anzhong also left the city of Zhuo Luo and was walking with Bao Zhong, so he heard Bao Zhong's sigh.
"Longzhu Heicheng will definitely not be able to keep it!" Rindo Baozhong sighed, "Doropa is also dead, and the Huangzhou Fan will see clearly that our Great White Gaoguo will not be saved when they see death, and they will all fall to the Eastern Dynasty." Most of the Kuozhou tribes will also follow ......"
"We can also use each other's horns with Xi Cheng Luosa, and we should be able to contain the Song people."
Renduo Baozhong shook his head: "It's useless, with the support of Huangzhou and Kuozhou, the Song army can send tens of thousands of troops to attack Zongge City, and then the King of Jin will let our 20,000 troops leave the Ancient Bone Dragon City?" β
For the true thoughts of Brother Cha, Renduo Baozhong is still very clear, Brother Cha has been frightened, and he does not dare to fight with the Song army on the Huangzhou-Lanzhou line, he sent himself to garrison troops in the Ancient Bone Dragon City, just to contain the Song army, so that they can not attack Zhuoluo City for the time being.
"Tongjun, do you think the King of Jin wants to abandon the Hehuang Division?"
Rindo Baozhong frowned and was noncommittal: "Once Doropa is killed, the Hehuang tribe will definitely be afraid of the force of the Song State. If Brother Zong and Qingtang are captured by the Song State again. Even if Xi Luo Za De To, I am afraid that there is not much appeal.
After all, there are many descendants of Na Luo, and it is not only Xi Cheng Luo who has such popularity. As long as the Song people set up another descendant of Na Luo to appease the people's hearts, the Hehuang Fan Department will no longer be the granary and money bag of my Ren family! β
Renduo Baozhong intervened so actively in Hehuang's affairs, in addition to being stupid, he also had a realistic need, that is, the territory of the Renduo family was too poor. It's just some valleys scattered in the cracks of the mountains, how can it be possible to feed the growing Renduo family?
Fortunately, the Renduo family has been awarded the post of Zhuoluo Supervisor of the Right Wing for generations, responsible for presiding over the pacification and wooing of Hehuang Tubo. Therefore, after the death of Ngoro, when the Tsongkha Tubo Kingdom existed in name only, the Hehuangbo tribe had to give generous gifts to the Renjia family every year in order to seek refuge.
And once all the Hehuang and Tibetan tribes are dependent on the Great Song Dynasty, then the Renjia family will no longer want to get property from the Tibetan tribe. How will the children of the many people live when the time comes?
"Patriarch," Ren Duo Anzhong did not call Bao Zhong a "unified army", but called him a "patriarch", "Although we can't watch the Tibetan army return to the Eastern Dynasty, but this time the Song army is menacing, and the combat power seems to be better than thought, if you don't use troops carefully, I'm afraid that it will be damaged too much." β
The reason why the Renjia family has been able to preside over the Right Wing Army for many years and can suck blood from the Tibetan Department is that in the final analysis, they still have strength. As long as the strength is still there, the Emperor of the Great White Gaoguo of Xingqing Mansion will have to find a way to feed the Renjia family, although the life will be a little harder than the original, but he can always get by.
If you run out of strength, then there will really be no time......
"I know," Rindo Baozhong sighed, still unwilling, "to pass the order, tell the big guy to go faster!" β
"Whoa!"
If you go faster, it is naturally to rush to the Ancient Bone Dragon City as soon as possible, and then you can discuss countermeasures with the prince of the Fan family, Xi Luosa. Tonight, the overnight march is also to complete the hundreds of miles of mountain roads as soon as possible - Brother Cha, the king of Jin, pointed him a long way to run and break his leg, if he doesn't go faster, I'm afraid that he won't be able to wait until he reaches the Ancient Bone Dragon City, and all the tribes of Tsongkha Tubo will have to vote for the Great Song Dynasty!
β¦β¦
"Prince, it's really not that the Great Leader of Doroba has forgotten how to fight, but that the army of the Song people is too powerful...... They have trained thousands of armor horses comparable to iron harriers! Our Fan's light cavalry can't stop it at all! β
"There are not only armored cavalry, but also 5,000 ironclad infantry, extremely sharp, and they captured the six fortresses outside Longzhuhei City in one day, and only the last one was desperately defended by our warriors of the Fan family...... If you don't rush to the rescue, I'm afraid that Longzhu Black City will also fall soon! β
The city of Zongge, in the palace of Xiluo Luo on credit this night, is also brightly lit. The prince of the Fan family, Xi Luosa, was half-lying on the velvet carpet, eating meat and drinking wine, while listening to the envoy of Doropa, and the young lord of Jingcheng, Qiao A, tell about the war in Huangzhou.
The war was very unfavorable, and it was not expected by Brook Rosa. It is completely normal that Doropa can't beat the Song army, but it is really surprising that he lost so ugly.
And it's an armored cavalry and an ironclad infantry, which makes people tremble when they hear it! Is Da Song really that powerful? What should I do in Tibet!
"What about Bajin City, Zhidang City, and Wachui Village? Could it be that they were all occupied by the Song army? Xi Cheng Luosa sat up, the wine glass in his hand was not held steady, and a lot of wine was spilled on his body, but the prince of the Fan family did not know it.
"There is no news," said Doropa's messenger, "and this time the Song army moved faster than before, and within a few days it had swept over most of the Huangzhong. β
When this envoy was sent out of Longzhuhei City by Doropa, he did not know that Ah Lingjie and Gu Duo Ma Ling had been cut off, and naturally did not know that Bajin City had fallen. However, he also knew that most of it was more than lucky......
"What about Michuan City?" Xi Cheng Luosa asked again, "Who is in the hands of Michuan City?" β
"This ......," Doropa's messenger was obviously not sure of it.
Qiao Azhu said: "Prince, when Xia left Miaochuan City, it had not yet been attacked by the Song army. You better hurry up and march into Miaochuan City, if you go late, the Song army will take the lead. β
The core territory of Tsongkha Tubo is between Huangshui and Qinghai, where there are four major castles: Miaochuan, Zongge, Qingtang and Lijing. Among them, Miaochuan City is in the easternmost part, located on the territory of Huangzhou, and is also the ruling center of Huangzhou.
Now the territory of Xiluo Sa, the prince of Xifan, is really a bit small, and he only has two cities, Qingtang and Zongge in Shanzhou. If you can take advantage of the opportunity to rescue Doropa and take Michuan City, you can make a big show of power.
It's just that Song Jun looks very powerful!
Just as Xi Cheng Luosa was hesitating, Qiao Abury said in a low voice: "Prince, Doroba is trapped in Longzhu Black City, desperate, and can only hope for reinforcements from you and the Great White High Kingdom. If you don't wait for a long time, I'm afraid that you will desperately vote for the Song Dynasty, and then the Huangzhou Fan Department will really belong to the Song Kingdom! β
Brook Rosa took a breath, he knew he had no other choice! If you don't save Doropa, you are waiting for death, and although rescuing Doropa is a bit like looking for death, you can still win in danger and survive to the death.
"Good!" He made up his mind, "Tomorrow, I will gather troops and horses and send troops to Michuan City!"
