Chapter 494: The Battle Begins (Part I)
The three armies were about to attack, Liang Yibury waved his hand to make everyone stop, and then he came to Rouyuan Village and shouted loudly: "Listen to the people in the city, you are all party members, why did you betray the Great Xia Kingdom?" ”
Li Sangou was happy, and he also shouted loudly at the head of the city: "Can your Liang family represent Western Xia?" ”
"Our Liang family is also from Western Xia."
"Are you Liang really from Western Xia? That is, your Liang family is from Western Xia, and you are also by Chinese, why betray China? ”
How can I actually say it, yes, now that the Liang family is in power, but her husband is dead, and her son is young, he is not in power, can his son still be the emperor in the future? At least before Li Bingchang was placed under house arrest by the Liang family, the Liang family still had a certain degree of legitimacy.
Is it easy to talk about Liang? Their Liang family is just a rich Han family in Western Xia, and it is not nice to say it, and they are second-class citizens. Just like the Tibetan barbarians of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was weak and used money to buy peace, but in fact they were second-class citizens, and even they rejected it if they wanted to marry the Han people. The difference is that one is more direct and the other is more feminine.
However, the Liang family married into a family at such a young age, and then decisively seized the opportunity, caught Li Liangzuo, and then helped Li Liangzuo successfully eradicate the black treasure, and then Li Liangzuo died, and also seized the power of Western Xia, and let her do whatever she wanted, which also requires a certain amount of hands...
But in exchange for that, the soldiers of Rouyuan Village at this time, are they considered to be Western Xia people? Half of them have been living on this land, and they have always been Song people, so why betray. Even the Western Xia people who defected to the Yeli tribe were suppressed by the Western Xia and could no longer live, so they fled to the Song Dynasty. If they are treacherous. So what Li Sangou said is unreasonable? Aren't Liang's grandparents from Yanzhou in the Song Dynasty? Wasn't Liang's father by the Song people?
Everyone has a point. Ignored.
It can only be said that it is better than some of the later Cancans, one forgets his ancestors, the other is treasonous, disloyal and unfilial, but people would rather be dogs, saying that loyalty and filial piety undoubtedly play the piano to the cow.
In fact, it is useless for Liang Yibury to say it or not, with the cooperation of Li Sangou, the Fan households in the area of Rouyuan Village were evacuated the cleanest. In addition to the Fan households in the Xiantian area, there is not a single Fan household left that really belongs to the Song Realm, and only these Fan soldiers are left.
All their families withdrew to the rear, can they shake the hearts of the army just by relying on Liang Yi's persuasion?
So when Li Sangou said this, there was a burst of laughter in the city.
Isn't it strange that you are a Han Chinese, but on behalf of the Western Xia, you asked the Tibetan people why they betrayed the Western Xia?
Liang Yi's face turned red, and he shouted, "Attack." ”
Let's fight, why bother with these careful thoughts.
Siege ladders climbed the city and the ice wall. It seems that this is also an opportunity at the moment, after all, there are not many troops in the Rouyuan Walled City. Two battalions were divided out, although the Western Xia was not good at attacking the city, but the Song Dynasty had few troops, and the defense line was so long, why not attack immediately?
However, it is not as Liang Yi imagined, the siege ladder was erected, and the ice wall was also very long, but this ice wall was not the maze in front of Dashun City, because Rouyuan Village was in the rear, and the preparation time was more sufficient, so there was more water than mud, which meant that this ice wall was very slippery. And there is a whole wooden fence built inside, which means that the ice wall is very strong.
The weather is cold, relatively speaking, the Tangut people who are not afraid of the cold have taken some advantage. However, the Song army was standing on the head of the city or the wall, not only the rolling stones and sassalwoods fell together, but some people finally climbed up the wall quickly, but two or three Song troops pushed hard, because the ice wall slipped, the siege ladder immediately slipped to the ground, and several Xia soldiers on the ladder fell over. Then a rain of arrows fell, and most of them were shot instantly.
After attacking for a while, the strength of the Song army was small, and there were some casualties, but the defense line of Kerou Yuanzhai was as stable as Mount Tai, on the contrary, the Xixia people immediately suffered a large number of casualties.
There was no way to fight, so Song Ji said on the side: "General, you can't attack like this, you have to prepare a lot of hay and dead wood." ”
"But I can't wait."
"There may be an accident over there, but this wall can't be broken, and you can't save it if you want to, General, please think twice."
Liang Yibu had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army and come back.
Brother Ruding over there continued to be stunned, Yao Lin rushed over from behind, and shouted loudly from afar: "It is Yao Lin, the ninth brigade general of the Qingzhou patrol envoy of the Zuozangku Embassy, the main of Anjiang Fort, to quickly dismount and surrender, and Rao Er will not die." ”
The official position of the Song Dynasty may be a headache for later generations, especially some official positions, both bad jobs, such as this Zuozang Treasury Envoy, which is actually a bad official, but most of the time it can also be used as a real official, and the Imperial City Envoy, it is also a bad official, but it can also be used as a real official. For example, Guo Qing's imperial envoy is not a real imperial envoy, so what about it in the capital. This imperial city envoy is a real official, and like the Zuozang Treasury envoy, he is a military attache from the seventh grade, and he receives a salary according to this real official.
In addition, there are ranks, which are honorary positions. At the same time, there are also some official positions that are a combination of official and virtual official, such as the envoy of the festival, the envoy of the propaganda, the envoy of observation, the envoy of defense, the envoy of regimental training, and the history of assassination.
On the real Song officials, that is, the officials, especially the festival envoys, are paid more than the prime minister's. If you put it on the Tibetan people, it is a false official, and there is nothing. It's a good way to hear and hear, such as the history of the thorn on Li Sangou's body.
But if Brother Ding, as a general of Western Xia, understands a little, this should be regarded as an official position that can be spoken.
He's still hesitating.
Yao Lin said again: "General Wu Naxia listen, as long as you surrender and cooperate with our army, after the war, a certain promise will let you return to Western Xia." ”
Again, this is very vague, what is cooperation, and if it can't be done?
But this is the sentence, Brother Ruding sighed, put down his weapon, dismounted and surrendered. Stuck in this small ravine, there is no way to escape, the Song people put forward preferential conditions, can they not surrender?
Yao Lin rode over and ordered to cut the clothes of the Xia soldiers with a knife, use them as ropes, and tie up the rest of the Xia soldiers together. Then he asked, "What is your name?" ”
"Brother Ruding." For example, Brother Ding replied, Yao Lin can't speak the Dangxiang language, but if Brother Ding can speak Chinese, this is the influence of advanced civilization, and the Liao State is too, there are very few Song people who can speak Khitan language and write Khitan characters, but there are many, many Khitan people who can write Chinese characters and know Chinese, and even Chinese characters have always been the mainstream language of Liao and Western Xia. Or as it is now. A little tea came to the West. Instantly become a luxury. After drinking, even the tea leaves are eaten, is this tea after soaking the juice delicious?
There is also the culture of later generations, on elegance, there are a few musical instruments and guqin and zither, Western painting can reach the artistic conception of Chinese painting, that is, flower arrangement is also the most beautiful Chinese flower arrangement, but people are developed. Therefore, foreign paintings and foreign musical instruments have become the mainstream, while China's has become a second-class cripple.
Yao Lin definitely didn't know, he didn't even think about it in his heart, isn't this normal?
"If you are a general of Brother Ding, then immediately cooperate with someone to do something and persuade your subordinates to surrender." Yao Lin said.
Brother Ruding's face was embarrassed.
"Do you want your men to die? Launched. ”
It's not like that, but what else can Brother Ruding say at this time. Yao Lin also said: "Yeli instructed to immediately send more than a dozen people to escort these people back to Rouyuan Village, and the rest of the people followed me to 'persuade the Xia people' to surrender." ”
"Whoa."
This is also helpless, the battle under Anjiang Fort may have ended long ago at this time. Arrests have also begun, but there are deserters all over the mountains. The rest of the Song army was all infantry, and I was afraid it would be too late, so Yao Lin used the cavalry in his hand to expand the results.
The group turned around again, killed back to Anjiang Fort, and arrested all the way. At first, because of the division of troops, he was bound and guarded, and the guide was constantly dividing troops. But soon, there was a rendezvous with the infantry. So Yao Lin took the infantry to arrest together, let the infantry guard and tie up, he continued to gallop in front of Anjiang Fort, all the way under the "persuasion" of Brother Ruding, the capture is also more smooth, it doesn't matter if it's so fast, time is life at this time! When they arrived at Anjiang Fort, Yao Lin alone captured more than 1,000 enemy soldiers.
What's more, Gao Min also captured a lot of people, and there were nearly 2,000 surrendered troops lying under Anjiang Fort.
In this battle alone, more than 4,100 prisoners of war were captured alive, while more than 5,600 enemy soldiers were killed.
"Wow." One of the commanders listened to the results and screamed loudly.
With this result, it can also be recorded in the history of the Song Dynasty's foreign wars.
Also, I don't know how many enemies were burned dead in the fort, and the two bombings just now, the entire mountain peak from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain was densely packed with enemy soldiers, and I don't know how many enemies were killed in the explosion.
There are really a lot, and the number of enemy soldiers burned to death in Anjiang Fort alone has reached more than 1,600, plus nearly 1,000 casualties under the two peaks. And there are still some Xia soldiers who have lost their direction, this is not much, some fled back, and some were found and brought back by the rangers sent by Liang Yongneng later, but there were also two or three hundred people who froze to death and starved to death.
Although Yao Lin didn't know the specific number, he knew that most of the Xia soldiers who escaped would most likely be able to join the Western Xia army alive as long as they were not caught, but Yao Lin saw that the fire in Anjiang Fort was gradually weakening and could not delay any longer. So he ordered his five battalions of soldiers to escort the prisoners of war to Rouyuan Village, where a fierce battle was about to be ushered in, and the officers and soldiers of the five battalions were not only defective, but also to increase the strength of Anjiang Fort. Yao Lin led his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, counted the weapons, and the remaining grain, grass, tents and other materials were all piled up together and burned down. Then gallop to the East Valley.
At noon, Liang Yibury saw a group of Western Xia prisoners of war being escorted over, he almost went crazy, and immediately ordered another strong attack.
A group of summer soldiers immediately carried the dead grass and branches they had collected to the bottom of the ice wall.
However, the village had already taken precautions, and when they saw that they had brought these flammable materials, buckets of boiling snow water were immediately poured down from the city.
As a result, instead of burning, many soldiers were burned and screamed.
More than an hour passed, and all the prisoners of war were taken together into the city.
It was useless to attack again, so Liang Yiburi ordered the withdrawal of troops again, and then asked blankly: "What happened in the rear?" ”
At this moment, his subordinates came and reported: "General, look. ”
When Liang Yibury re-ascended the tower, he saw that the Song troops in Rouyuan Village had withdrawn from behind the ice wall one after another, and all of them had withdrawn to the wall.
What's going on here?
Li Sangou mobilized in the village: "The real war is coming, are you ready?" ”
"Get ready, General Zhao." The generals replied in unison. Although the battle was very dangerous immediately, as long as it was defended for a few days, and five new battalions of reinforcements were added to the wall, and those prisoners of war were good hands, so everyone had the confidence of victory.
There was help in the village, but Liang Yongneng was in a daze halfway.
Anjiang Fort has finally arrived, although it has become a ruined fort, but the road to White Leopard City has finally been completely opened. But is it worth it to pay such a big loss?
He led the three armies and slowly came to the back of Rouyuan Village.
Liang Yibury also understood why the Song army withdrew to the stockade this time.
Liang Yongneng did not order the march, but asked his subordinates to destroy the two ice walls in the east and west, so that the army could be connected.
"Yongneng, what's going on?"
Liang Yongneng told what happened.
"It turns out that the Song army ......" Liang Yi buried regretted it, why didn't he listen to Du Duo La's words at the beginning?
Song Ji said eagerly on the side: "General, there is a person who will be very happy if you lose this battle miserably." ”
"Who?"
"It's all dodo."
"Don't slander the country's loyal generals."
"I just want to say one thing, from beginning to end, Du Duo Layan is a little war-weary, let's see if Du Duo Lazhen has launched a decent attack after arriving at Liyuan Fort?" (To be continued......) R752
