Chapter 708: Gao Yu is really powerful
What? Go to Anzhai Fort to pick up the western army of the three generals to fight with 20,000 western thieves?
When Gao Yu heard this order, his legs and stomach trembled a little. He had been in the northwest for some time and had a relatively good understanding of the situation in the Western Army. The Western Army is different from the two forbidden armies that he originally led with full personnel, and the Western Army has a lot of vacancies. In theory, there should be at least 15,000 people in the Western Army, but in fact, if there are 10,000 people, it can be considered that there is a conscience. Among them, the elite soldiers don't know if there are 5000?
Moreover, although the Western Army is known as being good at fighting, its real combat effectiveness is only half a pound or two of the Western thieves.
That is to say, 5,000 soldiers of the Western Army can fight against the regular soldiers of 5,000 Western Thieves, and if they encounter Iron Harriers and garrisons, they need to dispatch corresponding elite soldiers.
And this kind of combat effect that can be used as a front selection is usually mastered by the fierce generals in the Western Army, and it will not be easily used by Gao Yu, an outsider.
didn't select the elite, just relied on thousands of mediocre Western Army soldiers, and there was no need to fight this battle! If you really want to fight, one life will be confessed like this!
"Taishou, Xuanzan," Yang Kebi, who followed Gao Yu to Yanzhou to serve as the commander of the soldiers and horses, offered advice at this time, "If the elite of the three straights can attack Shizhou along the west of the Wuding River, they may be able to force the western thieves to retreat from the south of Hengshan." In this way, the Anseburg side will be able to win without a fight! ”
"I'm afraid that the western thieves will give up Ansai Fort and go north to Shizhou." Gao Yu frowned and said, "The battle report said that there were 20,000 thieves in the west, maybe there are more than that, right?" Xiazhou and Shizhou now have the military divisions of Western Xia (the military divisions of Shizhou have been withdrawn), and the combined troops of the three places are only afraid of 50,000 or 60,000 people! ”
"As long as the cavalry comes back, don't be afraid," Zhao Zhongge said, "With their guard guards, we will retreat from Shizhou City without waiting for the Western Thieves army to approach." ”
An excellent cavalry, even if it is not numerous, can not be underestimated on the battlefield, and it can even play a decisive role if used well.
If Wu Haogu didn't have these 1,000 knights in his hands, once his army of 20,000 or thousands left Yinzhou City, he would have to be on guard against the sudden appearance of the enemy's cavalry cluster. Moreover, the logistics line will also be cut off by a small group of cavalry of the western thieves at any time. There is no way to win such a battle!
And now, under the escort of 1,000 armored cavalry and 2,000 auxiliary cavalry, the small force of cavalry in Western Xia has no room to play at all, unless the elite armored cavalry of the same level can drive them away.
However, even if the Iron Harrier comes, Wan Yan Xian and Wu Tian will not suffer any losses, and they will always be able to cover the retreat of the army.
And Wu Haogu is of course confident in Wanyan Xian, there are not many better riders than him in this era, at least there will be no in the Western Xia, and it is estimated that there is no one on the Liao side.
"According to Brother Zhong'er," Wu Haogu said, "when the cavalry returns, they will rest for another day and then advance to Shizhou."
Brother Gao, you just need to defend Fort Ansai, don't fight no matter what, and wait for the enemy to retreat. ”
Brother Zhao Zhongge interjected: "Today is the seventh day of the lunar month, and the elite of Yumazhi will not be able to come back for at least two days, and then rest for one day, that is, the eleventh day of the lunar month, and you can go to Shizhou City in two days." And the western thieves south of Yokoyama will not know about it for at least one day...... That is, the fourteenth day of the lunar month. If they withdraw their troops after the fourteenth day of the lunar month, it will not be a fraud. ”
"Got it," Gao Yu understood what Brother Zhao Zhong meant, and said with a smile, "When the time comes, I will lead my troops to follow, and it will be considered a credit to kill him a few palace troops." ”
……
Gao Yu and Yang Kebi left together, and also brought dozens of horsemen who had been prepared by Wu Haogu for the two of them, one person and two horses, and it took two and a half days to arrive at Yan'an Mansion City, which was already on full alert.
At this time, the "old military strategist" Wang En and his son Wang Ze had already led 500 elite candidates from the headquarters to return from Shibaozhai.
"How's it going over there in Yinzhou?" As soon as Tao Jiefu saw Gao Yu, he asked, "Can Wu Chongdao do it?" Can the Three Straight Army go to war? ”
He had only recalled Gao Yu before, and had not given an order to Wu Haogu. Because he has no bottom on Wu Haogu, can a businessman also fight?
Now that he has this question, he is actually waiting for Gao Yu to say bad things, so that he can easily send Wang En to Yinzhou. Although Tao Jiefu did not have the right to remove the Marquis of Duyu of the Three Direct Army, he could appoint Wang En to be in charge of the Yinzhou Army. In this way, Wang En will be able to command the Three Direct Armies in the name of righteousness.
Of course, after the battle, Wu Haogu, a profiteer, can still get a great merit!
"Yinzhou has won another big victory!" Gao Yu's answer surprised Tao Jiefu and Wang En, "Yuma directly destroyed one of An Qingze's Laoshi Zipo Chao, beheaded 1,200, and captured 2,000 ......."
"Wiped out the Quite Super Division?" Wang En blinked his old eyes in disbelief, An Qingze is quite a famous party member! Back then, the ancestors who followed the name of Yuanhao rose together, a big tribe for hundreds of years.
"It should be extinguished!" Gao Yu said with a smile, "With the previous 500 beheadings, this time the Three Direct Army led by Wu Chongdao has beheaded 1,700 party soldiers, captured 2,000, and captured a state city...... This feats are enough to be a remote county.
In addition, when Xia Guan left Yinzhou, he made an appointment with Wu Chongdao. When the cavalry who plundered the superforce returned, he led his troops to fight Shizhou, and he could always force the western thieves to retreat. ”
Tao Jiefu and Wang En looked at each other, Wu Haogu, a profiteer, actually fought well! What the hell is going on? Gao Yu was born in Jiangmen, so it is not surprising that he can fight. But Wu Haogu is a profiteer who sells houses, how can he fight?
How has it become so easy to fight a war now? Even a real estate profiteer can casually take down 1,700 party heads, is it that the party has become weaker? Cut off the head casually?
"Envoy, Chief Wang," Gao Yu asked at this time, "what is the situation in Ansaiburg?" What are the movements of the army of thieves? ”
Wang En replied: "The Boy Supervision Army is in charge of Ansai Fort, and there are about 16,000 forbidden troops plus archers (there are 1,000 archers on Ansai Fort, and Wang En also "doesn't know" that there are vacancies), so there is no problem in self-preservation.
The thieves approached Fort Ansai and set up camp, cutting down trees as if to build siege engines. ”
"There is no siege of Anseburg?" Yang Kebi interjected and asked.
"No," Wang En shook his head. "There are only about 20,000 thieves, which is not enough to besiege the city, right?"
In fact, Cha Ge brought his 40,000 troops to Ansai Fort, and those who remained in Saimen Village were only the old and weak remnants of the leader of Li Da.
However, north of Ansaibao, Chage's cavalry, with the cooperation of the Tibetan Army's leading party, effectively covered the battlefield, making it impossible for the Western Army's reconnaissance cavalry and hard spies to find out the enemy's situation. That's why I came up with the wrong judgment of "about 20,000".
In addition, Brother Cha also hid the ace Iron Harrier Zixue in his hand, so Tao Jiefu and Wang En have not found out until now that they have encountered the elite main force of Western Xia.
……
"This Gao Yu is really calm!"
Before Gao Yuren arrived, Brother Cha, the king of Western Xia Jin, had already felt his awesomeness!
Well, they swept Huangzhou and Shanzhou, and defeated the international famous general Gao Taiwei, who commanded 20,000 troops, to surrender!
Although Brother Cha had an army of 40,000, he did not dare to fight Fort Ansai, which was defended by Captain Gao.
Moreover, Ansai Fort is also a fortified city, which is the gateway to Yan'an Mansion City, and a fortress built after the Battle of Sanchuankou. Not to mention that the famous general Gao Taiwei is defending, it is an ordinary mediocre general with tens of thousands of people to defend, just with the ability of Western Xia to attack fortifications, how can he fight without 100,000 200,000 people?
Therefore, Cha Ge did not think about taking Ansai Fort at all, and he was now stationed in front of Ansai Fort just to put pressure on the Song army to force them to withdraw their troops from Yinzhou.
But at the same time, Brother Cha had the intention of fighting a decisive battle with Gao Yu. Therefore, he hid half of his troops, only took out 20,000 men to show the Song army, and deliberately showed weakness under Ansai Fort. Let the garrison soldiers who challenged under Ansai Fort cover their leather armor with leather jackets, and also take out shabby weapons, and the formation is also crooked. These two goals seem to be opposites......
If Tong Guan was in charge of the three straight fronts, he would have been killed long ago! But he doesn't have any soldiers! The three generals assigned to him by Tao Jiefu were all weak soldiers in the Western Army, with 15,000 on the books, in fact, there were 10,000 men, and there were no cavalry, so it was impossible to win in the field.
So while Brother Cha showed weakness, Tong Guan deliberately showed strength. The walls of Ansai Fort were planted with various flags, and the soldiers were also put on armor (no matter how weak it was, it was the Western Army, the armor was still there), and it was displayed on the wall majestically. But...... Just don't go out of the city to fight with Chago.
In this way, the confrontation between the city and the city for several days, Brother Cha admired Gao Yu even more - his own plan, people saw through it at a glance!
"I don't want the Song people to have such a famous general!"
Xiao Heda nodded, thinking in his heart: I have to write to Xiao Baoxian when I go back, and I must be careful of this famous general of the Great Song Dynasty in the future.
"The king," he thought for a moment, and then said to Brother Cha, "It seems that Gao Yu will not be fooled, and this Ansai Fort will not be able to move, so it is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible." ”
Brother Cha nodded, he also made money this time, he grabbed a lot of good things in Saimen Village, and burned a lot of villages located between Saimen Village and Ansaibao - although the residents of these villages ran away, they didn't have time to take away their belongings, so they still made Brother Cha's soldiers earn a small vote.
In addition, it is already a cold winter wax moon, and it is not the season of marching and fighting at all. Fortunately, the weather was dry and there was no heavy snowfall, otherwise the march would not have been possible at all.
Just as Brother Cha was about to give the order to retreat, a junior colonel suddenly rushed to Brother Cha and Xiao Heda's side, "Big, king!" Oh no, An Qingze's super department is going to perish! ”
"What?" Brother Cha was stunned, "An Qingze? Quite superordinate? Who did this to you? ”
"Yes, it's the cavalry of the Song people!" Xiao Xiao said, "Thousands of people, pretending to be the king's personal soldiers, deceived the scouts of the Pochao Department, and caught the Po Chao Department off guard......
