Chapter 452: Ten Generals-The Real Western Army

Chong Ge is "playing big chess", and Han Jiang is also making an idea, Jintangcheng!

Is it important to be successful? It may not be important to put it on Zhang Kang, but it is very important to put it on Han Qi, Han Jiang, and Lu Gongbi. Han Qi has been in the northwest for several years, and he has been in a mess, first there was the defeat of Haoshuichuan, and then there was a Shuiluocheng incident in the battle between Fan and Han in the capital, God knows that there is a Han in the army, how did the western thief get shocked when he heard it, but if Han Qi does not have a career in the northwest, can he stay as prime minister for ten years?

Han Jiang wants to copy Han Qi's road, so not only will he have his military merit in charge of Shaanxi, but also make a great military feat in person.

However, before the idea of Jintangcheng, he proposed one person, that is, Wang Wenliang, the domestic slave who did not hide the slander, and he can't blame Han Jiang, first, Wang Wen-M Liang has been a slave for many years, and he is very good at sweet words, which confused Han Jiang, and second, Han Jiang thought that Wang Wenliang had been in Xixia for a long time and knew more about the situation in Xixia.

Dare to love Han Jiang, thinking that Wang Wenliang is a brother in the mountains.

Then Han Jiang ordered Zhao Yuqing of Gyeongju to send troops and join forces with Wang Wenliang in Jieming Sazhuang outside Jintang City, and after the two armies were united, they attacked Jintang City.

Han Jiang is the Xuanfu envoy, this official position is not permanent in the Song Dynasty, but its rights are very great, not only has the right to mobilize all the troops on the Shaanxi Road, but also has the right to appoint, the right to evaluate merit, and even allows the surrounding officials to cooperate, such as borrowing troops from Hedong, because Han Jiang is the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road, Lu Gongbi is not easy to refuse.

Then Li Fugui can't refuse.

Wang Wenliang led the army straight to Jintang City, twenty miles away from Jieming Sazhuang, and the scouts went to the front to investigate, saying that the Western Xia had gathered many large armies to fight. Wang Wenliang "smartly" chose to retreat.

And that's not wrong either. Guan Jian didn't even notify Zhao Yuqing.

Zhao Yuqing stupidly then came to Jieming Sazhuang. But he suffered a big loss last time. He also became very careful, his army had arrived, and Wang Wenliang's army also sent scouts to inquire, and the scouts quickly came back to report the situation.

Zhao Yuqing wanted to scold his mother, you Wang Wenliang saw that the situation was not good, and retreated, but you have to inform me. But fortunately. At the same time, the Western Xia side also made a fool, although Zhao Yuqing arrived at Jieming Sazhuang, but they still counted on the good things before, did not transfer the army out to besiege Jieming Sazhuang, and continued to set up an ambush in front, Zhao Yuqing heard the news, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army.

He escaped the catastrophe, but Han Jiang did not realize the crisis brought by Wang Wenliang......

This winter is getting more and more lively.

In the face of the Song Dynasty's attack, the Western Xia was short of troops.

It's not that the army is sufficient. They are not in one place, just like Yan Yan Road. Why did Han Jiang transfer troops from Gyeongju and Chong Ge borrowed troops from Hedong, and the troops of Yanyanlu itself were insufficient, and the same was true for the Western Xia side, so the troops from Lanzhou could not be transferred to Suizhou, not to mention the crisis caused by the emptiness of troops in various places after the transfer, let's just say that the financial pressure brought about by this transfer was not something that Western Xia could bear, unless the fish died and the net was broken, it would be done.

Therefore, Western Xia chose another approach, encircling Wei to save Zhao.

Or rather, they chose a clever approach and attacked the west.

Subsequently, the Western Xia soldiers divided into two routes, all the way to send 10,000 cavalry to attack the Shunning Village of the security army. This was also a sensible attack, so most of the troops on Yan Yanlu were evacuated by the planters, and the remaining strength of the security army was not much.

Ten thousand rides are enough.

Of course, the siege of the city is not the director of Western Xia, but the problem is the same as that of Yanda back then, even if the Song army does not lose the security army, what about the people outside the military city?

This forced Jing Sili, the commander of the security army, to send soldiers out of the city to face the battle, and he dared to think that he was Yanda. However, although Jing Sili is a tiger general, he is still far from reaching the height of Yanda, so he has lost several battles.

The Western Xia army was under the walled city of Shunning.

This is the wall, but also the city, one of the two major mutual markets in Song and Xia, and is one of the most important mutual markets, after several years of long peaceful transactions, now Shunning Zhai Di shop is lined up, there are many people. This siege, coupled with some Western Xia people plundering outside the city, made the people in the city panic all day long.

Jing Sili was helpless.

That's when a fun thing came out.

Just when Jing Sili was full of sorrow, a prostitute in the city, Li, came and asked to retreat from the enemy.

Jing Sili was speechless, and Li said: "Jing Zhijun, the slave family is willing to guarantee with his life." ”

Then let her try.

Jing Sili sent soldiers to bring the Li family to the city, and the Li family lifted his clothes on the city head and scolded, what to scold, scolded the Liang family. Li Liangzuo died, and the Liang family was only twenty years old, and it was when he was young and his body was empty, so he secretly communicated with some handsome close ministers in Western Xia.

Many Xixia people know about this matter, but they don't dare to say it publicly, but in the past, the two countries traded with each other, and there were many merchants in Xixia who came to Shunning Village to trade, what to do to make money, it was flowers, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, Li's was beautiful, "business" was good, Pengmen had guests every day, including merchants from Xixia, they were in the process of prostitution, and they couldn't all be hey, hey, they would also talk and drink tea to watch Li's Kabuki, so in the process of speaking, they said Li's ** to Li's.

This is what Li scolded in the city.

She is scolding, ordinary Western Xia soldiers don't care, Guan Jian is one of those important generals in Western Xia, Li's scolding has become an "international scandal", if it can't be stopped in time and spread to Western Xia, Liang may be able to kill them.

The Tangut people had no choice but to order the three armies to fire arrows at the Li clan in an attempt to shoot the Liang clan to death. However, the Liang clan was in the city, and there were Song Dynasty soldiers to protect them, and the arrows could not be hit, but the more the Li clan scolded, the more excited they became, and the poor Western Xia army was so anxious that they all blocked their ears. In the end, there was no return, and they fled back one by one because of the lack of food.

It was a joke on the side of the security forces, but there was a fierce battle on the side of the Deshun army in Weizhou. Liang asked Lü Xiaozhong to lead the three armies to kill and plunder Sanchuan Village and the exclusive fort, and the knowing army Zhou Yongqing sent troops to resist the enemy, and sent Zhao Pu to ambush the troops on the edge of the moat. This Zhao Pu is not that Zhao Pu, but the patrol of the Deshun Army. At the same time, Zhou Yongqing sent another strange army to gallop hundreds of miles at night and destroy Lu Xiaozhong's lair. After Lü Xiaozhong heard the news, he withdrew from Sanchuan Village and met Zhao Pujun halfway. Rush to the battle. Zhao Pu killed Lü Xiaozhong. Subsequently, Zhou and Zhao led the army in pursuit. Thousands of people were captured in this battle.

But Guan Jian is still in Luowucheng, if the plan is allowed to succeed, it will not only be linked to Fulin Road, but also directly pose a threat to Yinzhou and Xiazhou, and the advantage of Hengshan in Western Xia will be lost.

…………

A handful of heavy snow is blowing one after another, and the sky and the earth are white.

First of all, there were a large number of people, and a large number of volunteers. Withdraw to Yanzhou. This is the reason why Wang Ju spoke to Zhao Ji with a little sarcasm.

Han Qi's three stabs made the people of Shaanxi even more miserable, but without this three stabs, the cost of planting and using the army would increase several times, including building several cities in a row, and it was not so fast.

But now Zhao Ji doesn't mention it, not only is the three stabbing one, but the armor protection method is coming out immediately......

It was finally over, and there was a cheer in Funing Village.

From the Suide army to the southern end of Linzhou more than 100 miles of boundary, Luowu City is the center of gravity. However, if you want to defend Luowu City, Funing Village is also crucial.

Therefore, Yanda rushed to work day and night. Even if it's freezing cold.

Many soldiers and civilians have opened cracks on their faces because of the rush to build Funing Village.

It is only today that this day of suffering has ended.

Kang Cheng also let out a long breath.

Yan Da came over and asked, "Kang Shijiang, is it bitter?" ”

"It's fine."

"You're good, when the controversy over the fort subsides, you will ask General Chong to ask for credit for you in front of Han Xianggong." Yanda said, in fact, wherever Kangcheng wants to fight, he is forced! However, Yanda didn't know Kang Cheng's inner world, thinking that Kang Cheng was a strong general. As a partial general, he may not be talented enough, but as a leader, or even a deputy commander, Kang Cheng is enough. At least better than those forbidden army generals who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

"Go back and pack your luggage, and we'll go to Luowu City right away."

"To Luo Wu City?"

"I will take Luowu City, and Western Xia will not be reconciled, so the general asked me to guard Luowu City." Yanda said proudly.

No one else can do it, only I can keep it.

"Hmm." What can Kangcheng say? Anyway, his own transfer is becoming more and more dangerous, first Huaining Village, then Funing Village, and now he is transferred to Luowu City under the nose of Yinzhou.

At the end of the winter month, the Song army left an army to guard Funing Village, and Yanda went to Luowu City.

But just a few days later, things changed dramatically.

Not long after Yan Da left, Liang Yizhu transferred a large army from the rear and quietly marched from a hidden rugged mountain road to Funing Village to attack Funing Village. After hearing it in the Suide Military City, he couldn't put pen to paper.

That's the question of troops.

In order to cooperate with this operation, the Song Dynasty mobilized troops from Yanyan Road, Fulin Road, Hedong Road, and a small number of Huanqing Road. However, other places in Yanzhou could not be defended, such as the security army because of the transfer of some troops to leave, and there was almost a crisis of strictness. The same is true on the Fulin Road side. Therefore, the troops that can be drawn from the two roads in Hexi are limited. Hedong Road dispatched a lot of troops, totaling 20,000 soldiers and horses.

However, they are all building cities, Funing Village, Yongle City, Luowu City, Xiangqi Village, Huangdui Sanquan Village, Tuhun Chuan Village, Kaiguangling Village and Jialuchuan Village, and these forts are mostly built in the vast mountainous area, far away from the Song Dynasty, and the transportation of materials is extremely difficult.

If it can be built completely, it will not be a big problem, and all the troops can be drawn out together. But how is it possible to build so many fortresses now? If it can't be built, the rest of the troops can't be mobilized to support.

This is not a problem, the Western Xia can send a large army to attack Funing Village, and the Song Dynasty can send more troops to support Funing Village. However, doing so will cause a lot of consumption, and the court will inevitably attack in groups.

So he didn't do that, just to let Gao Yong keep an eye on the huge Xia army of Xifu Tuzhai. If the Western Xia army came, it would either come from Xitu Village, and Gao Yongneng's army would be able to hold them back and gain time to bring in reinforcements from the rear. Either from Luowu City, but Yanda has already gone to Luowu City. Or attack Yongle City, so the kind of man is staring at the direction of Yongle City, and in the north of Yongle City, countless scouts are sent to investigate day and night.

But I just didn't expect that the tens of thousands of troops in Western Xia would go straight to Funing Village from a rugged path that came out of nowhere.

Now the problem is that the troops of the villages on the side of Luowucheng are not suitable for mobilization, and Gao Yongneng's Song army dragged the Xia army of Xifutu Village, but the Xia army of Xifu Village also dragged Gao Yongneng's army.

So in a short time, there are no soldiers to help!

However, in case Funing Village was lost, the Western Xia Dynasty would be able to link the Xifutu Village with Funing Village, and cut off the connection between Luowu City and Yanyan Road. Or contact from Fulin's side. But the connection with Yan Yan Road was lost. Relying on the new road by the Yellow River, which is more than 100 miles thin and has endless mountains, how can Luo Wucheng be able to hold it?

The planting is wrong, the support is big, the appetite is big!

There was no way, so he had no choice but to give an order to let the soldiers in Funing Village defend Funing Village, and then transfer reinforcements from the rear.

Liang Yiburi also sent a large number of scouts to investigate, and saw that the Song Dynasty had no reinforcements for the time being. Overjoyed, he ordered a rush to attack Funing Village. In only two days, Funing Village fell, and even some new tiger cannons were lost to the Western Xia people. He had no choice but to let the soldiers of Yongle City and Xiangxiaozhai retreat to Luowu City.

Liang Yihui once again led the army to besiege Luowu City.

The seed man handed the situation to the capital with a special foot.

Of course, he did not say anything about his mistakes, but only proposed solutions. first defended Luowu City, and then counterattacked Western Xia to recapture Funing Village.

However, when it arrived in the capital, it caused a huge controversy.

Only Wang Anshi agreed with the opinion of the plant, and said, "Shaanxi has a hukou all the way to a Xia country, and the people of the four Xia countries are a Xia country." And with the help of the world's financial resources, it is easy to sweep away its potential. However, it can't make Xia Guo afraid. To the monarch and the ministers are strong, and now the monarch is weak and weak, and his ministers are just intimate and redundant people, and they can't control them in the end, isn't it that the generals have no chance of winning, and they can't deal with it? ”

This is not right, in terms of population, the Song Dynasty does not know how many times it is in Western Xia, not to mention financial resources, if Li Yuanhao's house is still alive, the Song Dynasty can still understand that they have no way to do it, now the little emperor of Western Xia is young, and the Liang family is a mess, why can't it be controlled?

However, Wang Anshi's voice was quickly drowned out by the huge opposition, and some said that the two countries had been at peace for a long time, but now the Shaanxi generals are vying for merit and committing crimes, provoking wars, and the country's finances are about to be embarrassed again, and the people of Shaanxi are struggling to make a living.

In fact, the cost of this year's war is far less expensive than that of the Qingli War, but it has indeed brought a heavy burden to the people of Shaanxi. Think about how much civilian service had to be used to transport the truckload of materials, grain and grass from the rear of Shaanxi to Yanzhou, and then from Yanzhou to Suizhou, and from Suizhou to Luowucheng.

Some also say that Luo Wucheng is narrow and narrow, it is difficult to feed, and it is a big problem to only transport grain and grass in the future, since Funing Village has been lost, Luo Wucheng has become a lonely city, it is better to abandon it.

But on this matter, Wang Ju never spoke.

It is not that the opinion of the plant cannot be adopted, but the key is not in the people's livelihood and finance, or this transportation, although it is a fact, but from a strategic point of view it is still worth it. If you want to continue to hold on to Luowu City, and then counterattack Funing Village, then you must invest more troops and more money. This article alone is impossible to obtain everyone's consent, so what's the point of sticking to Luo Wu City?

In short, the appetite for planting is too big, and it does not take into account the general environment, but there is a big leap forward, so the current situation is formed.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to issue an edict to withdraw the army.

Yan Da led the army out of Luowu City, fought bloody battles all the way for dozens of miles, and almost sacrificed nearly a thousand people, but he still let him bring out the remaining more than 1,000 officers and soldiers.

When they came to the Wuding River, they sent an army to respond, and the Western Xia retreated to Luowu City.

Kang Cheng looked at the wound on his arm, endured the pain, and sighed secretly: "When will this Chenguang end?" Could it be that Lao Tzu has fallen into evil this year? ”

For the time being, the war has nothing to do with him, and after Liang Yi recaptured Luowu City, he asked Yinzhou General Xiangya to continue to desolate the village, which is on top of Jialuchuan Village, near Linzhou. Or cutting tactics, once the wasteland is captured, then the remaining villages cannot be connected with Fulin Road, and they cannot be contacted with Yanzhou, and they will all become isolated cities.

Wang Wenliang, who had just been transferred from the security army to be responsible for the construction of the deserted village, was sent to respond to the battle, and tens of thousands of troops under Xiangya's tent were quickly defeated by Xiangya. Wang Wenyu, the governor of Linfu Road, saw that the situation was urgent, and if the deserted village was lost, it would be lost, but what should the soldiers and civilians who built the village below, and immediately mobilized the army from Fulin Road to deal with the battle.

That is the Fuzhou Army, the Zhejia Army, which can be said to be the most powerful army in the Song Dynasty at the moment. Not to mention before, let's talk about how badly Zhi Jishi killed Wu Liang with the Zhi family army a few months ago.

Xiangya was a little afraid, so he came up with a plan to surrender. Wang Wenyu Xu Zhi, Xiangya came with a large army to "surrender", and fought in the middle of the night, who knew that Wang Wenyu was not fooled at all, but just planned it, Xiangya's subordinates just made noise, Wang Wenyu fought hard, Xiangya was defeated, there were countless casualties, and thousands of people did not have time to escape, and surrendered on their knees.

At this point, the battle of Luowu City came to an end.

In this series of battles, we can see the real Western Army of the Song Dynasty, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Western Army of the Song Dynasty has defeated the Western Xia Army, but it is far from the height of the army at the peak of the Tang Dynasty.

Some generals also grew up quickly, such as Yan Da, who killed tens of thousands of enemies alive and suffered less than half of the casualties, which also shows his command ability.

But the Song Dynasty monarchs ignored one place, the country in the north...... Therefore, this series of tragic battles has only kicked off a small prelude. (To be continued......)
