Chapter 537: Battle (2)
Now everyone's strategic intent is simpler. What Liang Yibury did was to put the defeated army in, so as not to be chaotic in formation, then using the superior forces in his hands, this force is not only a large number, but also a large number of cavalry, and he can win a big victory.
Wang Ju is to bite the fleeing army, it is best to disrupt the enemy's formation, then with the Song army in Dashun City on both sides, even if he wins the battle. And he always gave up a passage to escape, Liyuan Fort was deliberately released, and Rouyuan Village was a natural passage to escape to Anjiang Fort, where there was no Song army. As long as the enemy is suppressed, and some of the Xia soldiers have the idea of fleeing and start to flee, the Song army can win the battle.
This is the real art of war!
Renduo Lingding's intention is also very simple, all he has to do is to rescue more than 10,000 troops from Zangzang.
A fierce battle began at Liyuan Fort.
Yonghezhai also began a tragic battle.
Renduo Lingding first sent two troops and horses to launch a fierce attack on the two Song battalions on the left and right, and then drew out one of the soldiers and horses to attack one of the two battalions, the nameless peak and the Niuzi Pass. On the top of the two ridges, the Song army set up garrisons, which could not actually be called garrisons, but small forts.
It is not a stone bar, but a small fort built of wooden fences.
The Xia army climbed up, and countless rolling stones and sassalwoods were put down on it, and many Xia soldiers were hit, screaming and rolling down the mountain, and some were smashed to death.
However, when he saw the actions of Ren Duo Lingding, he immediately understood, and he also sent people to attack Niu Zi Shan inside.
As long as these two mountains are taken, and then people are sent to guard the flanks of the two mountains, the forces of the Zang Kui can be rescued.
Zhou Yongqing saw that it was not good, and immediately ordered to divide his troops to support.
However, the Xia army had a large number of troops, so there were soldiers attacking the top of the mountain one after another, and the Song army at the top of the mountain stubbornly counterattacked.
When Wang Ju led the army to chase Rouyuan Village, Zhou Yongqing had already sent an additional 2,000 Song troops to support, and seeing that the situation was dangerous, Miao Zhu also had to transfer 2,000 Song troops from his account. The two peaks were almost full of corpses, and the blood almost stained the remnants of snow on the two peaks red.
Qiongniang is washing clothes.
This is a quiet small house, only a hundred steps away from the state government, the disadvantage is that it is a little far away from the downtown area, and it is a little inconvenient to buy things. However, the environment of the house is indeed very good, two large rows of blue brick and brown tile houses, in the middle is a courtyard, there are flowers and trees in the yard, and there is an ancient well, and the water of this ancient well can be eaten. There is not much drinking well water in Gyeongju as a whole.
After Wang Ju came to Gyeongju, he asked the officials to find a house to rent, and the officials found this one. The owner of this house is very happy, Xiao Wang Laozi is here, and he almost doesn't want rent. But this is impossible, Wang Ju gave the rent according to the market price.
After moving here, seeing that it was inconvenient to drink water in the city, he opened the front door every morning to let the people come to get water.
Wang Ju was not at home, but Qiongniang still asked the people to fetch water according to her previous habits.
A few little ladies were fetching water while having the courage to talk to Qiongniang.
Indeed, Wang Ju's reputation in Gyeongju is generally very good, although the killing is decisive, but killing is also killing and killing, although the ordinary people can't love the people like children, but it can be regarded as a heart. coupled with military merits, so there is the title of Xiao Wang Laozi.
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty in the entire Gyeongju, there have been many "Lao Tzus", but there are only two "Lao Tzus" who have been truly recognized by everyone, Fan Zhongyan and Wang Ju.
And this battle is about to push Wang Ju to the altar, at least in the hearts of the people of Gyeongju, Wang Ju is about to go to the altar. Of course, this battle must be won in order to get to that high position.
Guan Jian Wang Jusheng is handsome, although he is not as handsome as Di Yong, but what is Di Yong?
So these little girls and daughters-in-law asked Qiongniang all kinds of things with adoring eyes. Qiong Niang had no choice but to answer without a word.
But her eyes kept glancing at the balloon in the sky.
Since the morning, the flag on that balloon has been waving non-stop.
Qiongniang also knew that it was a message.
However, this message also spread too often, which made her feel uneasy.
"Lady, I'm really worried, go ask Zhang Qianfu." Ling'er whispered on the side.
"How's that going to work?"
"Why not, he's a subordinate of Da Lang."
"Ling'er, Zhang Zhifu is the person most valued by officials, and officials also hate those who bully others." Qiong Niang said sternly.
"Oh, but Da Lang is really a good official, lady, is there a good official like Da Lang in Da Song?"
Qiongniang couldn't answer.
But how do you look at it, because Wang Ju cheated with a golden finger, if you talk about the contribution to the Song Dynasty, few ministers can match it, and even with the improvement of Wang Ju's status, Wang Ju's achievements in both the military and the state in the future may reach a daunting height that has never been seen before and no one has come after.
However, if you talk about loving the people like sons, although most scholars and doctors are more insiders in internal fighting, and more laymen are in external fighting, but under the slogan of Qi people's emphasis on internal governance, there are also some very good Qing officials in the Song Dynasty, even more honest than Bao Zheng and love the people more, such as Cheng Shimeng, who has just been transferred to the capital and has been repeatedly praised by Wang Ju, that is called loving the people like a son. Don't talk about Wang Ju, even Bao Zheng is not as good as Cheng Shimeng. It can only be said that in terms of ideology, Wang Ju may be a little better than Cheng Shimeng, at least he will not think that he is an official, so he will be high.
Just as the master and servant were whispering, a servant walked in and said, "Zhang Tong has judged that Huang Hua and Zhao Jing are invited. ”
Ling'er hurriedly went into the house to call Huang Hua and Zhao Dajing.
Then he said to Qiongniang: "Lady, you also go over and ask, what's the matter?" ”
I'm so worried, there are so many enemies.
Qiong Niang thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go over and ask." ”
A hundred steps, a moment to arrive.
However, Qiong Niang looked strangely at the many businessman-like people sitting in the state office.
Seeing Qiong Niang, Zhang Qi asked politely: "Qiong Niangzi, what are you doing?" ”
They knew each other relatively early, when Wang Ju took the imperial examination, Qiongniang and Wang Ju met for the first time, and Zhang Ji was present at that time. But this little beauty's mind made Zhang Ji laugh and laugh, and he wanted to be a phoenix tail that he couldn't get rid of, did the Song Dynasty have this rule? But it seems that she succeeded.
That was Wang Ju's family affair, and it had nothing to do with Zhang Ji. But since it is the tail that Wang Ju can't fall off, he has to give some respect.
Qiong Niang said: "Zhang Tongju, the concubine saw the flag on the balloon waving constantly, she was very worried in her heart, and dared to ask how the battle on the front line of Tongju was?" ”
"Lady Qiong, don't worry, the flag is waving endlessly, because today's troops are being mobilized on a large scale, and the war is going on from the east and west, so there is more news transmitted. And there is also good news from the front, Zi'an has defeated more than 30,000 Xia troops in Liyuan Fort, and at this time it is sweeping the three armies, pursuing the past to Rouyuan Village, and there will be greater good news of victory soon. ”
Qiong Niang's face was still a little hesitant.
Zhang Qi said: "In this battle, our army invested more than 70,000 troops, although Liang Yi's buried department has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but it is divided into two parts, and the front part has almost withdrawn to Anjiang Fort, which is out of touch with the battlefield. It is unprepared again, and the morale of the army is sluggish and the morale is high. Therefore our army will win. ”
In this battle, Wang Ju almost invested nearly eighty percent of his troops, his three brigades of soldiers and horses, of course, Wang Junwan's brigade has already incurred some losses, but Wang Ju also took away some strongmen, as well as two cavalry, so the strength reached more than 16,000 people. Liu Changzuo had more troops in his hands, his 28th battalion Baojie, the strongmen of Huachi Town, and the officers and soldiers of the 7th Battalion sent by Wang Ju from Fengchuan, of course, the officers and soldiers of the 7th Battalion became soy saucers. However, it cannot be said that it does not work, just like now, without the officers and soldiers of these seven battalions, it is necessary to transfer troops and horses to capture prisoners of war. This force includes these seven battalions of soldiers and horses, and it reaches more than 18,000 people.
Qu Zhen and Yang Wenguang have nearly 4,000 soldiers and horses. Yao Ji was attacked by the Tanguts until now, and the fort also suffered heavy losses, but there were still more than 3,000 soldiers and horses left, which could be put into battle. Li Sangou had more troops in his hands, not only his men, but also several battalions of officers and soldiers supported by Yao Lin, and thousands of prisoners of war as meat shields. However, Li Sangou's losses were even heavier, and now he has been flattened, there are only a few hundred prisoners of war left, and there are many casualties among officers and men. If it weren't for the use of prisoners of war as meat shields, this proportion would have dropped by half. Under the siege of Western Xia, Donggu also suffered some casualties, but they were slightly better, so they were able to draw 5,000 soldiers and horses. The other one that remained intact was Yanda's army, which included nearly 6,000 officers and soldiers who were strong in the human body. However, the thickest force is still Dashun City, although there were also a large number of casualties last time, Jing Sili also took 2,000 soldiers and horses, but the number of troops that can be put into battle still reaches nearly 23,000 people!
Therefore, the Song army was able to invest more than 78,000 troops.
But in general, in today's battle, Yonghe Village will fight very hard, Liyuan Fort and Rouyuan Village are far less hard than Yonghe Village, but the risk is the greatest and the variables are the most.
After all, the enemy's strength is still very large, and the two divisions together have reached more than 120,000 people, if it were not for the grain and grass, 10,000 troops were transferred to the rear, then since the White Leopard City, the strength of the Xia army can reach more than 130,000 people, and nearly half of them are cavalry, including some iron harriers who make people feel headaches.
So last night, before Wang Julin set off, Wang Ju said something that people couldn't understand and understand: "Come!" Enjoy the ups and downs of life! (Support domestic production, pay tribute to "The Great Sage")"
There is such a big difference in the strength of the enemy and us.
And the general environment of the Song Dynasty was peaceful.
Something very wrong happened in the middle of the way.
If you want to buck the trend and cheer up the weak situation of the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, how difficult it is!
Everything that can be done has been done, whether you want to win or lose, let it be fate.
However, these insiders, Zhang Qi can't say.
However, Zhang Qi said it, and Qiong Niang was a little more relieved. Yes, with so many troops moving, how can there be so little news?
She bowed down and gave a blessing and said, "It's over." ”
Han Jiang looked at his departing back and said, "The prince has a very strict mouth. ”
Of course, Wang Ju has always been strict-mouthed, saying what should be said, and never saying what should not be said. Otherwise, how can you mix up in the current officialdom?
Zhang Qi pulled Zhao Dajing and Huang Hua behind and said, "You are Wang Zi'an's servants, and many of Wang Zi'an's arrangements will not be hidden from you. Today I will gather all the private merchants in Gyeongju City, you know what I am for, right? ”
"Yes, for the sake of green salt. But there hasn't been a big victory on the front line yet. ”
"There should be no ......changes," Zhang Qi said, there are three major difficulties today, one is that Miao Zhi and Zhou Yongqing must get through, and they can't let Ren Duo Lingding rescue the soldiers and horses of the Tibetan Sect. The second difficulty is that the battle of Liyuan Fort will end smoothly, and the deserters will be driven in the direction of Rouyuan Village. The third difficulty is the battle of Rouyuan Village. But according to the current situation, there should be no mistakes.
His confidence in Wang Ju is greater than Wang Ju's confidence in himself.
"But in this battle, our army has already suffered casualties, although the imperial court must pay compensation rewards in the future, I don't know how much it may be issued. What Wang Zi'an is doing now is promising to allocate some profits from his workshop as a reward in the future. But this amount is not very large, and it cannot be achieved immediately. ”
In fact, Wang Ju promised a lot, but it was really not much to put it on such a huge Song army, at least the soldiers could not be allowed to work for it.
So there has to be better good news coming out at this time. When Taizong took Taiyuan, he wanted to take back Yanyun in one go, but the reward was not issued, the soldiers of the three armies complained, and their morale was low, so they were taken advantage of by the Liao State, and since then the Yanyun region has been far away from my Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao State has repeatedly attacked my court because of my north gate, which is a pity. I say that, you know? ”
"I understand that this is to let the three armies get another piece of good news after their great victory, so that they can continue to cheer up, continue to fight, and expand the results of the war." Huang Hua said.
"That's it, and now that the outcome has not been completely decided, it is better to negotiate the price with these merchants, otherwise the war will be decided, and these merchants will join forces to suppress the price of salt in the imperial court. Once the price is set, it will not be easy to press it down in the future. However, this is a bit against the imperial court system, and Han Gong and I are not very easy to show up. So can you ......
