Then Liu Changzuo took Dingzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now there are only the lonely Xingzhou City and some small forts around it in Western Xia.

The soldiers and horses of the two armies quickly surrounded them, and smoothly removed these small forts, including the palace on the side of Helan Mountain outside Xingzhou City, one by one, and officially marched under Xingzhou City.

Wang Ju asked Liu Changzuo to lead his subordinates back to Yanzhou, and then returned to Yanzhou from Yanzhou. Hundreds of miles away, only by arriving in Yanzhou in advance now to rest, can we ensure sufficient physical strength in the future. Otherwise, when the time comes, he will turn back in a hurry and become a tired army, where will he fight physically?

At this point, almost all the center and right roads of the Song army retreated, and only the center and left army were left in the siege of Lingzhou City, but the number of troops of the center and left army was not as large as that of the center and right army, and it was still a huge army.

Although there were also a lot of Western Xia troops in Xingzhou City, it was enough to have an army on the left side of the center.

Or the Xia army went out of the city to fight, that would be the best, this Song army was not the rebel army of Linghu Chao, and Liang Yiqi was not Zhang Xun!

It's okay not to go out of the city, but once you get out of the city, the speed of breaking the city will be faster.

As Wang Ju ordered the attack, he first let the prisoners of war carry mud bags and forcibly fill in the moats outside Xingzhou City.

However, at the critical juncture, Liang Yiqi didn't care whether these prisoners of war were from the Western Xia, and began to order the release of arrows. This forced Wang Ju to give an order to launch many tower carts, and the soldiers stood on the tall tower carts and covered these prisoners of war with the Divine Arm Bow. Otherwise, the prisoners of war would be shot and killed, and then they would have to send soldiers and people to fill the river.

Under the continuous whipping of the Song army, it took only four days for tens of thousands of prisoners of war to fill in a large section of the moat outside Xingzhou City. At the same time, the Song army raised a dirt mountain in the rear, which has little to do with artillery, it has two functions, one is to have a clear vision, and the other is to make the divine arm bow more powerful.

But the Song army's fortifications were not over, part of the Song army was in Qitu Mountain, and there was also a Song army digging tunnels, as a large section of the moat was filled, these tunnels were gradually dug under the city wall of Xingzhou City.

Although he had an absolute advantage, Wang Ju did not despise it, and there were too many cases in history of a city blocking the enemy army to finally retreat. For example, Zhang Xun's Juyang, but not only Zhang Xun's Juyang defense battle, such as the defense of Jimo City in the Spring and Autumn Period, Wei Xiaokuan's Yubi battle, and his opponent is the powerful Gao Huan brother! Liu Xiu's defense of Kunyang, a generation of famous emperors has risen from then on. In Zang's Xuyi defense battle, his opponent was stronger, and it was the Great Emperor Tuoba Tao. Geng Gong Shule City defended the battle, Zhuang Zhuang was hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood! Zhang Liao's Battle of Xiaoyaojin, Wei Rui's Battle of Zhongli, and Li Guangbi's Battle of Taiyuan. Later in history, Wang Jian's defense of Diaoyu City and Meng Gong's defense of Xiangyang, their opponents were the powerful Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry. Zhu Wenzheng's defense of Hongdu, and several battles of Changsha of Xue Yue, the god of war in the era of thermal weapons......

It is impossible for Liang Yiqi to reach such heights.

But if it drags on for a few months, the consequences are severe.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that in the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin is powerful, but under Taiyuan City, Zhao Kuangyin has been repeatedly asked to eat turtles.

Wang Ju estimated that Liang Yikui also had such thoughts, and it turned out that the Western Xia people thought that the Song army could not fight in the field, but they quickly found that this understanding was wrong, and the Song army defeated the Xia army again and again in the field battle. But now that the Song Dynasty is attacking and the Western Xia is defending, we will use one city after another to fight with your Song Dynasty army, and even Wang Ju thinks that the Western Xia and the Liao State have secretly made some agreement, and in the end, the Liao State sent troops to help, and your Song army also went back obediently. One summer war was unsuccessful, two summer wars were unsuccessful, but each time it cost more than the other, and in the end, the Song Dynasty believed in Wang Ju and did not agree to the summer war.

But Wang Ju will never let that happen.

So a kind of unprecedented future, a kind of rude, extremely violent way of attacking the city, for the first time in front of the world.

Starting from the tunnel, one tunnel after another dug under the Xingzhou city wall, but unlike the tunnel dug by Gao Huan, Gao Huan asked his subordinates to dig the tunnel, the tunnel was very large, and then used wooden pillars to support the soil above, and after digging, they began to burn the wooden pillars with fire, and the soldiers withdrew, and at the same time, the wooden pillars were almost burned, and there was no support, and the soil on it began to collapse along with the city wall.

There is also Li Guangbi's Battle of Taiyuan, digging out the tunnel, and also using tunnel tactics to deal with Shi Siming, but the tunnel is also very large, but the tunnel is not under the city wall, but outside the city.

But now there is no need for that, gunpowder is enough.

Tunnels were dug up, and wooden crates filled with gunpowder were dragged under the tunnels by the soldiers. This is to imitate Hong Xiuquan's tactics of attacking Nanjing, using a coffin with gunpowder to blow up the city wall, in fact, the principle is very simple, the power of the black powder explosion is mainly a huge air pressure shock wave, then the air pressure will inevitably rush out from the lax place, the most lax place of a coffin is the coffin cover, so that the air pressure is just on the top, not left and right is not below, because the city wall is blown down.

Of course, this has to be a certain amount of luck, because people below can't judge the location of the city wall, even if they are aimed at the city wall, if it is missed, it will not be able to blow up the city wall.

The Tanguts also saw it on the city, so they dug a trench along the city wall in the city, sent soldiers to listen, and if there was movement below, they made a hole and poured boiling oil on the hole.

Many Song soldiers were burned on their feet and let their comrades carry them back.

However, the cannon roared above, and even if he was lying on the ground, he might not be able to hear all the movements below, so from time to time the Song army successfully sent the gunpowder box under the city wall, and then ignited and exploded.

Only a day later, one of the walls was blown up, writhed a few times, and fell to the ground with a thud.

The Tanguts immediately frantically plugged the gap, and then tied down the fence wood, and the Song army carried out a large crash car to hit it, and the Tangut had to plug the mud bags behind the fence.

On the second and third days, fierce battles were fought at every collapse.

At least for the time being, the Xia people were very brave, but this was also expected by Wang Ju, not only Xingzhou, but also in this small area of Hexi, the Xia army in all the cities behaved bravely, after all, this area was the core area of Western Xia. But it was only this area, like the North and South Hetao, like the Hexi Corridor, that almost all of them fell in despair when they saw the arrival of the Song army. Even on the front line of Hengshan, from Yanzhou to Rouwolf Mountain, the Song army did not encounter any stubborn resistance.

But it doesn't matter, this is only underground, and there are also ground, with the official general offensive started, all kinds of sharp weapons came in handy, almost every moment of the day, almost day and night, a large number of shells, gunpowder packs, large thunderbolts with poisonous smoke and thistle, all kinds of large stone bullets, and the divine arm bow, like raindrops sprinkled in every corner of Xingzhou.

Later, Wang Ju sent people to make dozens of large hot air balloons, not to land in the city, at this time, although the Western Xia troops in Xingzhou City were not as good as the Song army outside the city, but there were tens of thousands of people, and there was a group of fanatical people. Hundreds of "paratroopers" were landed to deliver snacks.

The reason why the hot air balloon was used was that Wang Ju brought a few things from the other side, that is, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, which are laboratory products, which are very small in quantity and expensive to cost. So only now, it came in handy.

The soldiers carried some ceramic jars, rose into the sky with the hot air balloon, and then sprayed a simple jet tube made of ceramics at the Xia army in the city. Because of the small number, you can't kill people, but this thing gets on your body, and it hurts.

In the face of this three-dimensional and all-round attack, even Kumamoto Yaoji was dumbfounded.

Seeing that it was almost over, Wang Ju ordered a strong attack and officially attacked the city.

However, I didn't expect that there were still many brave Western Xia warriors in the city, stubbornly defending the city, and repelling the Song army again and again.

At the end of the day, Wang Ju ordered the three armies to rest.

Kumamoto sighed and said, "Taibao, I didn't expect that there are still many Xixia people who are unruly. ”

Isn't this unruly......

It doesn't matter, but in this way, if you want to take Xingzhou City, you have to pay a huge sacrifice.

Or bomb for a few more days...... Wang Ju walked around and suddenly thought of an idea.

He then issued a series of orders.

In order to irrigate, Li Yuanhao also built a lot of water conservancy, including two famous water conservancy on both sides of Xingzhou City, the Tanglai Canal in the west, the Hanyuan Canal in the east, the Hanyuan Canal is also called the Li Wang Canal, Haoyuan Canal, very famous, but not as large as the Tanglai Canal, but they are not new canals, there are old canals, but they are barren and silted, and the Xixia people have re-repaired the dredging and used them for irrigation. Both canals are diverted from Qingtongxia and extend to Dingzhou on the bank of Heshan Lan.

Wang Ju first sent people to investigate, and then began to build tall earthen walls and some ditches on the periphery of Xingzhou City.

When Liang Yikui saw Wang Ju's actions, he was inexplicable at first, and suddenly laughed, thinking that Wang Ju was brain-opening.

Wang Ju didn't have a big brain, but some Xixia people began to open their brains, and the Song army suddenly stopped attacking, what do you want to do with this famous hall?

Some people thought that it was about to enter the middle of June, it was the time when the river was surging, if the Song Dynasty opened the steep gate of the Tanglai Canal and the Hanyuan Canal, the river went down the two canals, and then because of these earthen walls built by the Song army, the flood was blocked, so the flood was slowly raised outside the city of Xingzhou.

In the future, the city of Xingzhou will be completely submerged, but now several city walls have been blown down, although they are blocked with mud bags and fences, but if there is flooding all around, it will inevitably penetrate in, and eventually lead to collapse. How will you defend the city then?

Thinking about it this way, many soldiers and civilians are in chaos.

Liang Yiqi was furious, how could it happen! If even this situation would happen, how could Western Xia repair the city in Xingzhou and use it as the national capital!

Well, because of his obscenity, one by one did not dare to make a sound. But some people are not convinced, if it doesn't work, can that guy in the Song Dynasty do such a stupid thing? can do such a stupid thing, and can repeatedly beat Xixia like this, and even destroy the country at any time!

What the soldiers and civilians in the city of Western Xia thought, Wang Ju didn't care, he continued to order to stop the attack and continue to build these inexplicable projects. Suddenly, he received news from Yinzhou.

The secret envoy went back, and Mogus thought about it for a long time, although Wang Ju gave very generous conditions, but it was not a joke, it was a matter of life and death.

But at this time, the Liao State was not clear about the situation, and sent people to urge repeatedly, but there was no way, Mogusi had no choice but to enter Xiazhou City. But after entering Xiazhou City, Mogus did not move for the time being, because he was still hesitating.

It happened that the Song army was attacking Xingzhou City, and Mogusi sent people to lurk over to watch, but several scouts were dumbfounded when they saw the all-round three-dimensional attack of the Song army. This made Mogus make up his mind, in fact, from the time he entered the territory of Western Xia, this fate has been doomed. Even if he didn't rebel against Liao, the Song army was not afraid, but Wang Juhuan's "double insurance" was gone.

At this time, Mogus had been in the city of Xiazhou for several days, and was very familiar with the situation in the city, and suddenly rebelled, and the Xixia people were caught off guard, and they were captured by Mogus. Then Mogusi sent someone to inform the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty in Yinzhou, and the two sides slowly handed over.

The surrender was like a close enemy, and the handover was also like a close to the enemy, first Mogus slowly withdrew, and it was not until after retreating to a safe distance that the Song army entered the city.

But Mogus did not leave, but asked the Song army for armor. It is impossible to agree to this, once these more than 10,000 cavalry are fully armed and stay in Qiliping, not far from Xiazhou City, it will not only pose a serious threat to Xiazhou, but also to Shizhou. So the two sides began to argue, and Yinzhou had no choice but to report to Wang Ju.

Wang Ju immediately made instructions, this is simple, the armor transported from the rear of the imperial court is mainly concentrated in Gyeongju, and it is impossible to coil the armor from the land step by step to Xiazhou, it is too far. However, at present, there are many weapons and armor concentrated outside the city of Xingzhou, and now there is only one lonely city left in Xingzhou in Western Xia, or Hongyou Erzhou in the north of Yanzhou, but they are all located under the attack of the Song army on both sides, so they will not be asked for a while.

That is, now the cavalry is temporarily useless, so Wang Ju instructed Mogus to take his subordinates to retreat to the province of Weicheng first, and cross the Yellow River in the province of Weicheng, Wang Ju transported these armor to the west of the river by boat, handed over these armor to them in the west of the river, and also took out a batch of weapons and armor captured from Western Xia, and asked them to bring back the divination in order to strengthen their strength in case of accidents. If you are not at ease, let Mogus send a few messengers on horseback to supervise it.

Soon Zhang Qi also sent a message that the scouts learned that a large group of Liao troops had entered the territory of Dongshengzhou. But Zhang Qi's tone was very relaxed, it was best for the Liao State not to send troops, and after the Western Xia was wiped out smoothly, governance and immigration were carried out, at most in the spring of next year, and the entire northwest would be settled.

But if the Liao State sends troops, the worst thing is to send troops to Hebei, followed by Hedong, so now Zhang Qi is not in Taiyuan, nor in Fuzhou Yinzhou, but in the Ninghua Army, because the imperial court ceded the north of Huangwei Mountain to the Liao State, so that the Daizhou defense line tore a hole, once the Liao State went south, the first to bear the brunt was the Lan Army and Daizhou Lao County. However, if the Liao army wants to attack Hedong, the army will inevitably go south from Yunzhou, which is a great road. It is impossible to go around to Dongshengzhou, and then follow the cliffs, turn around and turn to the territory of Shuozhou, and launch an attack to the east of the river.

But the gratifying situation is that the Liao State will put the battlefield in Hexi!

The Song Dynasty sent troops to Western Xia this time, and a total of nearly 600,000 soldiers and civilians were dispatched, and the Western Route Army cannot be counted now. There were not many real Song troops along the way, all of them were strongmen from various Tibetan tribes west of Hezhou, and the requirements were too high, which would make these Tibetan people dissatisfied. Moreover, to turn these soldiers and horses back from the distant Hexi Corridor back to the Nanhetao, not to mention that the Tibetan people are unwilling, the distance is too far.

Therefore, the Western Route Army has basically completed the task now, and some soldiers and horses have begun to hand over with the Black Khan one after another, but the Black Khan is also more satisfied this time, and the troops have obtained a fortune, including some people, cattle and sheep and other materials, and the Song Dynasty has also made it clear that the ancient Yumen Pass is the boundary, and since then there is a division of things, and Zhao Ji personally wrote an edict to divide the boundary.

After all, the Han and Tang dynasties operated the Western Regions many times in the past, and it was the short-lived dynasty of the Western Jin Dynasty that also placed the Western Regions Changshi Mansion and reached the Green Mountains.

After the Song Dynasty destroyed the Western Xia, the trade routes were restored, which was good news, but the Black Khan was also afraid that the Central Plains Dynasty would extend its hand to the Western Regions like the Central Plains Dynasty in history.

In fact, if you really want to stretch, the black sweat is really unrelenting, and now the black sweat is not the black sweat of a few decades ago, it is divided into two, and it has also lost its ambition, so it was defeated by Yelu Dashi with a group of defeated soldiers after a few decades in history.

It was not until this letter was delivered to the lord of the Black Khan on a fast horse that the Black Khan was relieved, got many people, got some wealth, and the trade routes were restored, and all of them happily retreated.

Therefore, Wang Wenyu has already focused on managing stability and preparing for future migration, and at the same time, Chongyi has already led the retreat to Hehuang. It's just that there is a group of busy soldiers of the three armies on the side of Juyanhai, Juyanhai is divided into two seas, east and west, and the passage in the middle reaches an average of more than 60 li, and the narrow place is also nearly 50 li. So the Song army built two cities in a narrow place in the south and north of this passage, and dug wide ditches on both sides of the castle to pour into the lake of the two seas, so that the passage between the two cities formed a huge island in the middle of the lake, where the border soldiers and their families could graze and farm, and have abundant food and clothing.

Then if you are attacked by the enemy in the future, as long as you have sufficient weapons, even if there is no outside rescue, you can protect yourself. In fact, it is impossible for Liao to use troops from here in the future, it is too far away, and just a logistics will make Liao unbearable. The main thing to guard against is the diviner, and it has nothing to do with Mogus, God knows if Mogusi will fall back to Liao in the future, and Mogus can't control all the divination departments.

With such construction, it can hold the weak water river and become an important gateway to the west of Helan Mountain and the north of the Hexi Corridor.

The Song army over there is no hope, but there are still many soldiers and horses in Hedong, that is, the number of soldiers and civilians that the Song army can mobilize here can still be maintained at about 600,000.

In fact, the concept of the army and the people is very vague, and the so-called people are not really the people, although the real people are used, they are only responsible for domestic escorts, including the original prisoners of war, and none of them have been transferred abroad.

This people are actually composed of Xiang Jun, Zhuang Ding, Yi Yong, Bao Ding, as well as some archers in the rear of Hedong, and some Baojie troops east of Guanzhong and Tongguan, although they are archers and Baojie troops, because they are in the rear, they have not practiced fighting for a long time, so they are divided into the ranks of the people.

However, these people have been taught by many sect leaders before, but they have not been on the battlefield, and most of them have improved during this period of time, at least they can stand on the head of the city and take up arms to defend.

But these militias were discarded, and the rest were the strongest armies of the Song Dynasty.

With such a huge force, even if Xingzhou City dragged down many soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, and each fortress had to send troops to guard it, it could mobilize more than 200,000 mobile troops to fight against the Liao State.

Fighting here, the Liao State does not have an advantage, so Zhang Qi is very curious about how many troops the Liao State can send over to avoid a crushing defeat.

In fact, this time, the chief general of the three armies of the Liao State, Yeluyute, said that he had a headache.

For the peace promised by the Song Dynasty, the Liao State did not fully believe it, and the letter was half suspicious and half suspicious, suspecting that it was similar to the Western Xia side, thinking that there was another contradiction within the Song Dynasty, so it also sent some scouts to infiltrate the Xia and Song borders, that is, the area north of Yinzhou.

But this time, the Song Dynasty sent troops too quickly, and several soldiers and horses had nothing to do with the direction of Yinzhou, so when the Liao State heard the news, several main armies of the Song Dynasty entered the territory of Western Xia.

The officials of Xijing of the Liao State immediately informed Yelu Hongji of the Liao Daozong that disputes began to arise within the Liao State, some of them wanted to fight, some only expressed their reproaches, and some said that they would send troops to threaten them, but they did not really use troops.

But at this time, Liao received good news.

Lu Hui sent the various leaders and their families away, worry-free, they went out again, at this time they only had a few thousand, but after repeated battles, they accumulated rich combat experience, one by one became veterans of a hundred battles, and used guerrilla tactics, the small number of people means that it is very well concealed, and the logistics supply is not difficult.

So under their attack, the Liao army was killed more than 1,000 soldiers one after another.

And although the various tribes have defected and expressed their allegiance to the Liao State because of the coercion of the Liao army, many tribes secretly support this army, not only sending them intelligence, but also secretly supporting a lot of materials.

In desperation, the Liao army came up with a plan to let the Yueli Ji Division, the easternmost part of the Five Kingdoms Department, provide them with a large amount of supplies, and win the trust of this rebel department first. It also happened that Lu Hui took these soldiers to this area, east to Yueli Jibu and Ma Jiling, west to Mingtongfu, and then did not dare to go west, the Liao army had too many troops, and then to the east, it belonged to the wild area of Liao, and there was no deterrent power, and it was impossible to contain the Liao army.

Lu Hui didn't expect that because he was fooled, Yueli Jibu not only gained his trust, but also let Yueli Jibu "support" nearly 100 soldiers to blend into the rebels, so that the Liao army knew all the details of the rebels, and was surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Liao State in a forest on the side of the mix.

In this battle, less than 100 people were killed, fled to the vast jungle in the southeast, their whereabouts are unknown, and the rest of the people were all killed by the Liao army, including dozens of generals left on the other side, and nearly half of them died in this battle.

Dozens of people, no longer a danger, and they have also fled, it is difficult to gather again. So the Liao army ordered all the departments, and offered some huge rewards, continued to pursue these dozens of rebels, and then led the army to withdraw from Liaodong.

This led to the main battle faction gaining the upper hand.

As for Goryeo, the Liao State really didn't think about retaliating for the time being, at most it just continued to intimidate.

This time the Jurchen rebellion, although it lasted for a longer period of time than the Mogus rebellion in history, was larger, almost swept through most of Liaodong, tens of thousands of Liao soldiers lost their lives in this suppression, and also seriously dragged down the economy of Liao.

Coupled with the fact that the Song Dynasty was aggressive in the northwest, there was still a desire to take revenge on Goryeo.

At the same time, what Wang Ju expected was that no matter how much they covered up this rebellion, more and more Liao ministers already suspected that the Song Dynasty had actually secretly participated. Moreover, the Song Dynasty now has a very developed navigation industry, and I heard that it has reached tens of thousands of miles away, so what is the difficulty of reaching the northeast coastal area of Liaodong?

However, how to support Western Xia was controversial again.

Some people say that they directly attacked Hebei Road, besieged Wei to save Zhao, and forced the Song Dynasty to withdraw its troops from the northwest.

However, some people objected, although the Song Dynasty did not build any forts on the front line of Hebei in these years, but many forts were built on its front line one after another, and many border soldiers were trained. The defense of the front line may have weakened, but the defense of the second front line has been strengthened, that is, the actual thickness has increased. There is some truth in this statement, in order not to attract strong opposition from the Liao State, the frontline Song Dynasty did not build much in accordance with the second covenant of Song Renzong. However, with Wang Ju's proposal, the Song Dynasty not only trained many border troops on the second front, but later built many forts one after another. In particular, the Liao State came to extort for the second time, and these forts were almost spread to the south of Zhaozhou, Shenzhou and Hejian Province.

If the Liao State wanted to send troops, it would be difficult to quickly reach the Yellow River, so it could not pose a fatal threat to the Song Dynasty, but the Western Xia could not hold out for long. The Western Xia was destroyed, the main army of the Song Dynasty returned, and the Liao State could only retreat and return.

But the consequences were serious, this was the Liao State directly took the initiative to tear up the treaty, at least the Song Dynasty's 500,000 years old will be gone, and at worst, the two countries will start a war again.

If that happens, the already tight economy will be even worse.

Therefore, the second theory is to directly send troops to Western Xia.

Sending troops to the Western Xia can occupy the great righteousness, your Song Dynasty said that the Western Xia is the homeland of your Song Dynasty, and the lord of the Western Xia Dynasty is a vassal to your Song Dynasty, but don't make a mistake, the lord of the Western Xia also calls us a vassal of the Liao State. And no matter what excuse your Song Dynasty used this time, you will take the initiative to tear up the peace talks. Therefore, our Liao State has a reason to enter Western Xia at the invitation of the lord of Western Xia and assist Western Xia.

Fighting in the territory of Western Xia will not completely tear the skin with the Song Dynasty, even if the Song army is defeated, it can give the Song Dynasty a step down.

Fighting in Western Xia, although it was not the home of Liao, but the people of Western Xia supported it and could occupy the advantage of people.

Western Xia has many arid plains and little rain, and many areas are conducive to cavalry combat.

There is also a tempting reason, that is, Wang Ju took the initiative to give up the Xia Youhong area in order to avoid the coordination mistakes of several soldiers and horses, as long as the Liao army entered this area and joined forces with the original Western Xia army, it could immediately gain the initiative. At that time, he sent envoys again to force the Song army to retreat, and if he did not retreat, he would directly attack Yinzhou, the security army, Gyeongju and Yanzhou, and force the Song army to withdraw to the rescue, and then it was the time to use the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao.

dare to think about this good thing, and want to deal with the Song Dynasty, and want to continue to benefit from the Song Dynasty......

Just like Xiaofei, she wants to grab the South China Sea from China, attracting the US military to threaten China's security, and wants to continue to get benefits and assistance from China.

However, due to the clumsiness of diplomacy, most of these strange good things often succeed.

But because of poverty!

At least this year, the Liao State is really poor, and it has been tossed up by the Liaodong Rebellion together, so this opinion is supported by the majority of people.

However, because of various disputes, the Song army won the most precious time, and by the time the Liao State crossed the Yellow River, it had been almost four months since the Song Dynasty sent troops.

It was precisely because of this plan that the Liao State allowed Mogus to enter Xiazhou and prepare for the arrival of the main army of the Liao State.

However, Mogus suddenly betrayed, and Jeruutra also had a headache.

This is the result of the local terrain, the army from the Liao realm to Xiazhou, must from the source of the Quye River, where to replenish the water source, and then through the Dijinze Desert (Mu Us Desert), to Huangyangping, to reach Xiazhou.

This section of the road is not very far, about 500 miles or so, but the problem is that there is a serious lack of water in the area. Needless to say, even after Dijinze, to Huangyangping and Anqingze, there is still a lack of water sources, at least a small amount of local spring water can not meet the needs of the army. It was not until Xiazhou was adjacent to Qiliping in the north that there was a small river, which belonged to the tributaries of the Wuding River, which could replenish the water source.

Therefore, it is necessary to control Xiazhou first, so that the army will be safe.

But now that Mogus betrayed the Liao State and handed over Xia Prefecture to the Song army, the prospects became less optimistic.

So he suddenly thought of Fuzhou.

The military level of this Liao general is quite good, and he has also passed the test of quelling the rebellion in Liaodong.

The first rebellion was to deploy Yelu Asi, the king of the Northern Courtyard, in the palace of Liao, and made military exploits during the Chongyuan Rebellion, but the results are known, and nearly half of the soldiers and horses were drowned by the Jurchens.

So the Liao State sent a large army, and the privy envoy Xiao Tzu Bu also went to Liaodong to quell the rebellion, and after Xiao Tzu Bu also arrived in Liaodong, he did one thing, that is, to announce that Liaodong would be exempted from tribute for three years, don't you Jurchens hate tribute, and now they are exempted. It's better if it's really exempted, who will get your love for three years? Yeluhongki also agreed, and there was no more than this matter.

The Liao State had no choice but to order the Privy Council Secretary Yelu Te Ra to be the second commander, enter Liaodong with troops, and after the Te Te Ra arrived in Liaodong, he divided the various departments, compressed the rebels' activity space, and then used cavalry to cut it repeatedly, and finally forced Lu to flee with the rest of the people to Nose Gude.

This year, the use of the Yueli Jibu to destroy the Jurchen rebels was also carried out by the hands of Utera.

The Liao State has also been peaceful for a long time, so like Song Renzong, he doesn't know who can lead the troops to fight. Or rebellions, the scale of these rebellions is not too large, just like the Song Dynasty, if a barbarian rebellion in Kuixia Road, or a rebellion in Meishan, is suppressed by a certain general, then will this general be able to defeat the Xixia people and the Liaos?

Therefore, after discussing the plan of marching, Yelu Hongji immediately ordered Tera to come to Xijing and preside over the war.

In short, all kinds of news made Utera have a very bad feeling, which made him have the idea of overturning the original battle plan, it is impossible to turn to Daizhou, the road is inconvenient, and it is close to the Song realm, the three armies have not moved, it may be known by the Song army, and when the Liao army arrives in Daizhou, the Song Dynasty has long been prepared.

It is not Fuzhou, but Fengzhou, the terrain of Fuzhou City is treacherous, and the army of the family is also quite a headache, but with the decline of the Western Xia, the Song Dynasty not only restored the establishment of Fengzhou, after the battle of the upper reaches of the Wuding River last year, the Song Dynasty snatched the Zihe Xuan, Nuanquanfeng, and Turbidity Wheel Village in the west of Fengzhou from the hands of the Xixia people, and then sent the army and civilians to immediately build six or seven forts, and in the spring, there were two rivers on the Quye River and the Turbidity Wheel River, and a lot of cultivated land was reclaimed for tuntian.

Thinking of this, he was also envious in his heart, his grandmother's, the Song Dynasty was really rich, how much did it cost to toss like this?

In fact, even the Song Dynasty can't toss like this, if the huge war continues until next year and continues to be carried out on this scale, the Song Dynasty's finances will also collapse.

Compared to Fuzhou, it is a little easier to attack here.

However, after thinking about it, he dismissed this plan again, because even if Fengzhou was taken, it would not pose a fatal threat to the northwest of the Song Dynasty, Fengzhou had not been lost before, and when Song Renzong was so weak, it did not hinder the Song Dynasty, so it was impossible for the Song army to cancel the attack on Xingzhou City for the sake of Fengzhou.

In short, now that he has vaguely felt that the actual attack on Hebei is really a good choice.

But at this time, it is impossible to change the plan, and Xingzhou City can't wait.

So he looked at the information that the scouts inquired about, and there were a few pieces of news that were still good, and the First Song Army still did not make a move against Youzhou and Hongzhou, but only sent troops to settle in Xiazhou City.

Second, in the past two years, the Song army has successively destroyed many cities in Western Xia, including Hongzhou and Xiazhou, where the Liao army is about to settle. Lingzhou was a little better, and after more than a year, the Western Xia repaired the city wall in time. However, Xiazhou was different from Hongzhou, which had the Song army destroy many of its walls last year, and then the Song army retreated. Xixia immediately sent people to repair it, but soon Chenguang entered the depths of winter, and the project had to be stopped. The construction of Western Xia has not yet started in the spring of this year, and the Song Army's Third Road has begun to officially cut down the summer. Although the Song army did not take action against Xiazhou and Hongzhou, and the soldiers and civilians of the two cities also made some repairs in time, but because of the unrest of the people and the short time, the city walls of the two cities were not perfect.

It seems like a good time......

There is no way, Xingzhou is in danger, and it is forced to think of good things. (To be continued.) )
