Mei Qingba Luo rushed to Slush Castle with an army of 10,000. This has a lot of troops, and the slush fort is only fifteen miles away from Huai'an Town, and it is impossible for the army of Renduo Lingding to be stationed under the city of Huai'an Town, they are still one or two miles away from the city wall, and because of the large number of troops, it stretches for several miles.

That is, it is closer to Fort America, even if the Song Dynasty sends rescue troops, Renduo Lingding can also transfer troops to support in time, and the third of the ruined walls of Slush Fort means that Slush Fort ...... It will be broken!

Yanda stood at the top of the city and looked out.

In fact, Ren Duo Lingding did not dare to take risks at this time, if he dared to take risks, maybe he would get an unexpected surprise, that is, the rear troops of Huai'an Town were actually really empty.

The army stationed in Yele Town is Gu Yongping's 17th Brigade, and the Song army stationed in Gyeongju City is Gu Yongping's 16th Brigade. Gu Yongping only had four battalions of officers and soldiers in his hands, and Yang Pei had a little more troops in his hands, five battalions.

Don't worry, there are still a series of forts around Gyeongju City, but there are almost no officers and soldiers. Only a group of officials and officials with a group of strongmen, strong horses and volunteers, in fear to maintain order.

If Ren Duo Ling Ding really dares to point to the rear, it will be a headache, at least forcing Wang Ju to have to play the hole cards, the hole cards will be shown now, then it is really difficult to play below.

Therefore, seeing that the Western Xia army was pointing directly at Fort Merit, Yan Da breathed a sigh of relief.

However, his eyebrows did not stretch.

After Zhuge Liang's death, Sima Yi saw Zhuge Liang's camp and called him a genius.

Does Zhuge Liang have military talent? Some people demonize Zhuge Liang, and some people devalue it. Practically. Although Zhuge Liang was inferior to Han Qi militarily. But it's also capable. The difference in strength between Shu and Wei is at least four or five times, but they are forced by Zhuge Liang to only defend passively, how can ordinary people do it?

Now what makes Yan Da frown is not the barracks, but the appearance and order of the march, which are slightly different, but the nature is almost the same.

Regarding this issue, Wang Ju deliberately said it when he was meeting with more than a dozen brigade generals, but it was about individuals. The combat effectiveness of a Western Xia soldier may be equivalent to the combat effectiveness of a half-Song army.

This assessment is basically agreed by everyone.

In fact, because there were many cavalry in Western Xia, Wang Ju's assessment was slightly low.

Wang Ju said again, but 1,000 Western Xia soldiers can only be equivalent to 800 Song soldiers in Qing.

Some people disagreed, and Wang Ju said, the three major battles of Qingli were all lost, but in every battlefield, what are the forces of the two sides? Li Yuanhao used 108,000 troops to PK the Song Dynasty's thousands to 100,000 troops at every turn. Even if it wins, it does not mean that the overall strength of Western Xia is stronger than that of the Song Dynasty. It can only be said that Li Yuanhao's ability to use soldiers, plus the Western Xia cavalry, is also an advantage. Therefore, he can always fight more and less, and the Song army can only be beaten passively.

Then Wang Ju said again. But now 1,000 Western Xia soldiers can only be equivalent to 500 Song soldiers.

Therefore, although the Western Xia has a lot of troops, there is no need to worry too much.

Of course, the enemy should not be underestimated either. Although the Tangut people said that 300,000 soldiers and horses may be insufficient, it will not be much. Because there are so many people in Western Xia, there are still troops left in other places, and 300,000 is the limit.

And many of these soldiers and horses are logistics soldiers who are responsible for escorting supplies, which is equivalent to servants. However, Western Xia is ambitious this time, and it is inevitable to win Gyeongju, even if there is no 300,000, it will not be much worse. As for the servants, they are soldiers when they take up arms, and they must not really be regarded as people's husbands, and the battle of the Fort is a good proof of this.

Therefore, Yan Da saw that under the command of Ren Duo Lingding, the three armies of Western Xia were in order, and he was slightly worried.

The 300,000 Western Xia troops don't have to be too afraid, but the 300,000 Western Xia troops can be united and have strict military discipline, which will give everyone a headache.

No wonder Wang Ju repeatedly said that he had to pay attention to this Renduo Ding.

"It's been hard to endure these two or three days." Yan Da muttered, and then looked at the direction of Liyuan Fort, there was a little bad accident on the side of Liyuan Fort.

…………

"General Liu, the Western Xia people have already set off from that trail to Anjiang Fort, but they will have to wait for three or four days...... General Liu, are you in a hurry? Yao asked.

"It's good to be late, I'm in the back, and the information is not very accurate, so come and ask, it's not in a hurry." Liu Yu said.

"Of course, the later the better, but Zhao Zhong, that old horseman, is busy this time."

Zhao Zhong is Li Sangou.

"Hahaha, but this battle is worth it."

Now the two major focuses, one is Gao Min's "disappeared" army, and their play is particularly important. The second is Li Sangou's bitter battle next.

However, this battle is fought well, and Huanqing Road may be peaceful for a long time in the future, that is to say, it may be Li Sangou's last battle, after all, he is getting older and older, and he is a Fan person, so it is impossible to go to other war zones to fight. However, as long as this battle is successfully fought, his position in Gyeongju will be immediately consolidated, and it will also replace the position of the former general Zhao Ming.

With this status, his people will carry the tide with the rising tide.

However, Li Sangou is old and old-hearted, and when he assembled that day, he was arrogant and ruthless, which made several other brigade generals very speechless, what should I do, we are all civilized people, and we don't care about you, an old man.

While the two were talking, Guo Dutou of the Fan Luo Army broke in, and the deputy general Su Pingla did not hold it, and Guo Dutou knelt down as soon as he entered the door and said, "General Yao, please save my people." ”

Yao Yi frowned and said: "Guo Kui, your Guojiazhai is more than ten miles away from here, and the enemy has poured over from Dashun City, almost reaching 100,000 troops, how can I save it?" ”

"Guojiazhai was broken, they escaped, and they were trapped in Songzi Mountain."

"Su Ping, what's going on?"

In the morning, the 5,000 Xixia advance army arrived at Guojiazhai, Guojiazhai did not hold, so they fought and fled, fled from the back Liang Pass to Liyuan Fort, and fled to Songzi Pass when they were caught up by the cavalry of the Xia people on a detour and surrounded them. Seeing that it was not good, the patriarch of Guojiazhai sent someone to ride a horse in advance and come to our Liyuan Fort to move the rescue soldiers. ”

"No! Five thousand summer soldiers, as well as cavalry, how many troops are there in Liyuan Fort, if the stalemate continues, tens of thousands of enemies will rush over at any time. Dangerous. Liu Yu said.

"General Liu. No. Although it was 5,000 marchers who attacked our stockade, there were less than 2,000 pursuers, and the rest were probably left in the stockade. Guo Kui immediately said eagerly.

"That's not going to work either!" Liu Yan said categorically.

There are many reasons for this.

A few days ago, they were mobilizing reinforcements to retreat, and even in order to withdraw quickly, some villages far away from the forts burned grain and grass together.

But there are still a few villages that don't listen, most of them are Tibetans, and the Han people almost didn't need to mobilize help, so they almost withdrew.

There are many reasons for this. However, in Huachi County, there are not many people who have been bought by the Tangut people, there must be, but there are only a few people, and even these few people cannot represent the entire village.

There are fewer at both ends of the first mouse.

The main reason is that they don't trust the imperial court. There are other quirky reasons as well, like "being rich".

The poor and white stockades were withdrawn as soon as they were withdrawn.

However, when some wealthy villages retreated, they would inevitably worry about their respective valuable possessions, and the Tibetan people also paid attention to their wealth and did not know where to put it. Or even buried directly into the ground. This retreat, retreat to the rear. For hundreds of miles, some people are not at ease.

Guojiazhai is a typical example, the scale of the village is not small, how many households, Yao Yu is not very clear, there are many households in Fan, but there are about 1780 households.

It is located in Liyuan Fort more than ten miles in front of the river, on the bank of the Huachi water, and there is a branch river of the Huachi water under the wall, so it forms a considerable area of abundant grass with aquatic plants.

It turned out that Anjiang Fort was not taken back, and the Western Xia Society often came to invade, but since Anjiang Fort was taken, the two portals were controlled, so Guojiazhai was relieved to raise cattle and sheep, just when Wang Ju reclaimed Zhengbaiqu, and bought cattle at twice the market price, which also made Guojiazhai suffer some benefits.

So the better the stockade, the better.

It's a good thing that life is better, but when I retreated this time, I don't know what the patriarch of Guojiazhai thought, but he didn't agree.

There were originally more than a dozen such villages, there were around Liyuan Fort, Huachi City and Pingrong Town, so that Yao Ji and Liu Yan, plus the three people of Huachi Ding Zhi County, had to go down to persuade one village after another.

Most of them were persuaded successfully, but a few were not persuaded well, including Guojiazhai.

Their reason is very simple, our village is large, there are walls, and we have the power of self-preservation. Besides, there are Dashun City and Anjiang Fort in front.

In fact, just the day before yesterday, Yao Ji went down to persuade once, and it was definitely too late to retreat to Ningzhou at this time, but Yao Ji persuaded them to go to Fengchuan Fort, this head office, which is not very far, is in Huachi County.

However, the patriarch of Guojiazhai still disagreed, saying that Dashun City didn't win?

almost forced Yao Ji to say, this is the order of Xiao Wang Laozi, whom you respect, but this truth really can't be revealed at this time.

People die for money, birds die for food, there is no way, and Yao Ji himself has a lot of things to prepare and arrange in advance, so he has to ignore it.

Guo Kui was anxious and said: "My Guojiazhai is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, just like this time, I took the initiative to let the strongmen in the village come to guard the fort." ”

"But I let them all go back." Yao said. If Guojiazhai does not withdraw, where does Yao Ji dare to accept the strongmen in their village? You'd better protect yourselves.

"General Yao, in the last battle of Dashun City, we sacrificed nine Ding Zhuang in the village. Can't Xiao Wang Laozi leave, the court doesn't care. Guo continued to plead.

"The imperial court doesn't care, why is there this big evacuation, you have to know how much money the imperial court has to spend for this evacuation? How many Han Chinese in the rear are in dire straits? Liu Yan rebuked again.

This Liu Yan is not a good person, Guo Kui had no choice but to look at Yao Yu and said: "General Yao, be kind, Xiao Wang Laozi was here back then, why did everyone fight bravely, because Xiao Wang Laozi said that we will defend your homeland for you." That's why I was faithfully loved by everyone...... Besides, Songzi Pass is only four or five miles away from Liyuan Fort, do you watch everyone being slaughtered by Western thieves right under your nose? ”

"This ......"

"General Yao, you really can't save it, if you can't save it well, you can ruin Ming Gong's plan." Liu Yan said, of course, Guo Kui doesn't know who this Ming Gong refers to.

"I'll go out and have a look." Yao Ji climbed to the top of the city, raised his binoculars and looked northwest. It is not very far away, but there are some mountains in the middle, and it is not clear to see, but you can still see a large group of people trapped on the top of the pine nut peak, fighting tenaciously, but some people also fell on the top of the slope, and in the middle of the top of the slope is a group of women and children who are trembling with fear. As for the old man, he also picked up the earthen bow and fought.

Yao Yu sighed and said, "General Liu, you go back immediately, send someone to ask Yanzhou to send a few battalions of officers and soldiers, no matter what kind of soldier it is, as long as it is a soldier, make an appearance." Moreover, he immediately sent people to Ningzhou and asked Ming Gong to send several battalions of officers and soldiers to quickly arrive at Fengchuan Fort. ”

"Han Gong and Guo Gong may not listen to me."

"Don't worry, they are not Lu Xu...... Right under my nose, I couldn't bear it. ”

"Why bother......" Liu Yan stomped his feet and left quickly.

Guo Kui was a little dumbfounded, didn't he just save some villagers, why is it so troublesome? It was more troublesome than he thought, and it was more troublesome than Yao Ji and Liu Yan thought. So much so that after Wang Ju heard it in Ningzhou, he was stunned for a long time, and then thought, Yao Ji made a choice, but how to choose for himself, the price is too great, no less than exchanging eight soldiers for one Ryan.
