Chapter 535: Horn
Looking at the clear and dark ice, Ren Duo Ling Ding thought, if it wasn't for the attack this season, what would it be? Even if the attack is a month or two late, the Song Dynasty skateboard will not work, the non-slip shoes will not work, and the ice wall will not be built.
Or follow your own plan and focus on Huanzhou, what will happen.
Maybe Wang Ju is very passive, but there are so many assumptions in the world.
From time to time, cheers were heard in the barracks, which was what the people wanted, and when they heard the retreat, the soldiers of the entire battalion jumped happily. This battle is too depressing!
Ren Duo Ling Ding thought.
In fact, this kind of psychology of soldiers is very dangerous, but Ren Duo Ding didn't expect it.
After all, judging from the card, although the Western Xia army retreated in two, but the two forces are still a lot, if more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are included, and more than 70,000 soldiers and horses under the Renduo Lingding account are not counted, there are more than 65,000 soldiers and horses.
Liang Yi buried more soldiers and horses, including White Leopard City and Anjiang Fort and Liang Yongneng's men, and Liang Yi's troops under the tent reached an astonishing more than 120,000 people. Moreover, the two divisions are now gradually getting closer, and the various divisions and armies are not far from each other, and there are more cavalry, and they are in the field.
In fact, when they came more than half a month ago, the number of troops under Liang Yi's tent alone was far more than 120,000.
What a fiasco, an unprecedented fiasco!
The speed of the cavalry is fast, but it depends on the situation, and a march of such a large scale still cannot be fast. Carriages and horses, grain and grass, tents, and baggage, all of which were indispensable, and tens of thousands of troops moved slowly towards the western valley.
Some military blind people don't understand, saying that Song Jun's victory is only a small victory, and he only wins within his own territory, and he can only fail when he goes out.
This statement is only half true, and the reason is that this speed has little to do with cavalry. In their own territory, just like the officers and soldiers of Gyeongju, each fort has grain and grass, and they advance lightly. However, the enemy must carry food and grass to advance. Not to mention the familiarity with the terrain and the support of the people, this alone will create a gap.
So the march was slow on this side, but fast on the other.
The Tanguts retreated, and flags were waved again on the balloons. Of course, now the Tangut people also know that this is a new way of communication, but they can't understand it.
With Chongyi and his men, he sent troops from Wujiao Town and rushed to Huanzhou City, but their goal was to be in the rear of Huanzhou City! Chonggu also gathered some troops and was waiting for Chongyi's soldiers and horses.
The brothers are about to meet.
Li Kezhong led his men and marched towards Wujiao Town. However, his part is just in case, and he will immediately divide his troops and Huai'an Town. But the battle has nothing to do with them.
Yan Da also began to gather troops and horses, preparing to set off to Dongguqi, where to meet Yao Lin and Qin Bo's men.
"I'll leave the rear to you." Wang Juchong Han Jiang and Zhang Qi said.
But it's mainly for Zhang Ji.
The battle is about to break out, but how to deal with the aftermath is equally important. The aftermath will be handed over to Zhang Ji to deal with.
Although the night was dark, both sides were still full of people who came out to see them off, and Qiong Niang was also standing in the crowd, she was a well-informed person, and this was not the time for children to grow up, but she just looked at her husband worriedly. Wang Ju also saw her in the crowd, waved at her, and rushed out of Gyeongju City with the army. This army not only has Wang Junwan's brigade, but also Gu Yongping and Yang Pei's two small brigades of soldiers and horses, as well as two cavalry battalions from Di Yong.
Di Yong was also in the crowd, and at the moment he had mixed feelings in his heart.
Zhang Qi walked over and said softly: "General Di, you can't blame Zi'an, this battle has been laid out by Zi'an since the end of last year, and it has been constantly corrected in the middle, for this moment." Mistakes can also be allowed in the middle, and then there will be time to correct them. But as this moment approaches, there is no way to correct it. The victory or defeat of an army of more than 100,000 is life and death, how can it be child's play? β
Although Zhang Kai is also the main planner, he is not the coach, so the pressure is a little less and he can see it clearly.
Di Gao and the others mainly went to the battlefield for the first time, and unlike Wang Junwan and them, they still came to the northwest for the first time, they didn't come for a long time, and they stayed in the rear. Therefore, it is also contaminated with the laziness of the forbidden soldiers. That's the main reason.
However, some grinding is good, but some grinding is not good.
After all, he is the same as Di Yong, he was born in the shadow, the difference is that he is a civil official, and later he took the imperial examination to high school, so the carp jumped into the dragon gate and became an orthodox scholar. Di Yongyin only made up for the generals, and the generals were worthless in the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhang Ji looked at Di Yong's lost eyes, felt a little pity, and said: "If you want people to respect and respect you, you do it, not say it yourself." In fact, there is a lot of work in the rear of the war, and you still have a chance to ......."
Of course, if Di Yong is high, there is no way.
"The old man is worried in his heart," Han Jiang said from the side.
As a possible great battle, the Song and Xia did not last long, not as long as the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Guandu, and could only be similar to the Battle of Weishui.
The situation was not the same during the stalemate, Wang Ju had always asked the Song army to adopt movement tactics, constantly annihilating the Xia army, and hitting the morale of the Xia army, that is, running, running, and victory came, but this run was very knowledgeable.
But when the outcome was decided, it was almost the same, when Zhang Liao threw the torch at the Wuchao granary, when Huang Gai lit the grass boat, and when Zhu Xu shouted that the Qin army was defeated, the battle began! The battle is over!
The outcome of this battle will be announced in just half an hour after dawn.
"Han Gong, don't worry, if the enemy retreats the Xia army in Liyuan Fort first, this battle will still be a little difficult to fight. However, the enemy retreated the Xia army at Donggu first, and the victory was divided. Zhang Qi comforted.
"What if the enemy really retreats the forces of Liyuan Fort first?"
"This is also impossible, if we talk about the arrangement of attack and retreat, retreat is more important than attack, because once we retreat, either retreat when we are defeated, or retreat when the situation is bad and the army is discouraged, and at this time it is most likely to be attacked by the enemy. Therefore, the queen of the palace must be a strong army. Although the main general of Liyuan Fort seems to have been killed by Liang Yiburi, his soldiers have a higher combat effectiveness than Donggu Yan. And the current master will be Liang Yongneng, the person who makes Liang Yi bury more assured. It happens to be in Liyuan Fort again, they are not the queen of the palace, who will come to the palace? β
Lao Han didn't understand, so Zhang Qi had to explain the reason.
"If they are afraid of being attacked, why don't the three armies quickly move closer together?"
"Han Gong, the main thing is that Wang Zi'an suddenly appeared in Malingchuan, which will give the enemy the illusion that Wang Zi'an intends to deal with Ren Duo Lingding's soldiers and horses. And most of his soldiers were transferred from Hexi, and they were not familiar with the terrain here, and even because Dong Yu sent troops to Hexi to plunder, he could make a fuss about our army. Relatively speaking, his army is also a little smaller, so Ren Duo Lingding and Liang Yibury are most worried about their part, and they also think that Zi'an is lurking where this army is lurking. β
"It's possible," Han Jiang said, the first few times the Song army was ghostly, it was inevitable that Western Xia would have such thoughts.
"In fact, we originally planned to eat his soldiers and horses, but later Zi'an saw that Li Kezhong's appearance was not good, if you want to eat his soldiers and horses, Li Kezhong's part must play a key role."
"Why?"
"In this battle, if you eat Renduo Lingding's soldiers and horses first, then when Renduo Lingding retreats from Huai'an Town, Chong Yi and Li Kezhong will forcibly cut off his soldiers and horses, and Yanda is responsible for preventing Liang Yi's army from coming to the rescue. Zi'an led his troops to arrive again, so that he could eat the part of Renduo Lingding. Then the three armies converged and attacked the enemy army at Xigu and Yonghezhai. Then back to the head, the three armies attacked Liang Yong's buried department. Then in this battle, Yanda must snipe Liang Yi's buried department and can't let them meet. Li Kezhong and Chongyi had to cut off the army of Renduo Lingding and wear down their morale, and Wang Zi'an and Wang Junwan led the army to come before they could defeat Renduo Lingding in one go. However, beware of the enemy knowing in advance that Wang Zi'an could not arrive at the battlefield in advance, not even Yele Town. Lest the enemy scouts find out, especially Ren Duo Ling Ding can be regarded as a brave and resourceful general. In this way, Chongyi and Li Kezhong had to fight bloodily for a long time before they could hold out until Zi'an led the army. Therefore, I heard many people say that Li Kezhong is outstanding in martial arts, Zi'an made a transfer and replaced Gu Yongping with Li Kezhong. β
But Li Kezhong couldn't do it, plus Liang Yizhu transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses to Wujiao Town, and the enemy's right wing increased in strength, so in the end Wang Ju and Zhang Qi gave up such an idea.
However, they originally had two plans, including that when the battle of Yele Town did not start, Wang Ju asked Yang Pei to send a message to Zhang Qi, and Zhang Qi thought about whether his army would stop in Yele Town after the war or withdraw. But at that time, Wang Ju still preferred to deal with Ren Duo Lingding first, but after seeing Li Kezhong's appearance, the two finally chose the current battle plan and made great modifications.
Yele Town, which army on the front line doesn't matter?
But because of Li Kezhong, if an army is abolished, can it not be greatly modified?
With the arrival of the rear army of the Yongxing Army, the entire plan was basically formed at that time, and no major changes could be made.
"The enemy doesn't know our inside story, and in their eyes, the threat near Liyuan Fort is mainly more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from General Liu in Huachi Town. As for the army of Dashun City, when they come, they will be discovered by Liang Yiburi, so they cannot pose a threat. Therefore, it is enough to have the Xia Jun Palace of Liyuan Fort. β
"That's what soldiers are all about." Han Jiang said with emotion.
But this is really not easy to say, if Wang Shao is replaced, there is no need to be so complicated.
It can only be said that each has different ways of using troops.
Some people are concise, some people are complex, and it is difficult to say that these two are superior.
The battle officially began.
During the two watches, Renduo Lingding retreated from Huai'an Town, and in the middle of the two watches, Wang Ju led the three armies to leave Gyeongju City and set off in front of Liyuan Fort.
During the third watch, Yang Wenguang and Qu Zhen set off from Fengchuan with nearly 4,000 soldiers and horses.
At the fifth watch, all the Xia troops outside Liyuan Fort rose up, and they were also ready to set up camp, but a little earlier than them, the three armies of Dashun City also began to assemble.
At half of the fifth watch, Yang Qu and the others led their troops to Huachi Town, and Liu Changzuo opened the city gate and let them go in to rest for a while. At the same time, the Song army in Huachi Town was also gathering.
It was dawn.
Liang Yi sat in the big tent and ate breakfast silently.
At this time, he didn't expect that a super conference battle was about to break out, he was just worried, how to explain it this time.
The only result is that the ballast fort has been recaptured, but does it cost so much to capture a ballast fort?
But what worries him more than him is Song Ji, this battle is destined to be a fiasco, and Liang Yi is also destined to find a lot of substitutes for the dead, and he is the first to bear the brunt. However, he couldn't escape if he wanted to, and his wife and children were in Xingqing Mansion together.
The sun slowly rose, and Liang Yibury whispered, "Withdraw." β
The three armies retreated together towards Anjiang Fort and White Leopard City. This speed is slower and the road is too narrow.
"Blow the trumpet," Li Sangou ordered.
The loud horn immediately floated in the sky above Rouyuan Village.
"Damn it!" Liang Yizhu kicked angrily.
"General, don't be angry, our country has taken the Xinjiang Ballast Fort, and these Yeli tribesmen live in this area, and they will come to take revenge next time." A guard persuaded.
That's impossible, even if the Song army doesn't fight back, Li Sangou has made such great achievements, doesn't Wang Ju settle the Yeli people?
However, Li Sangou is indeed too arrogant to do this.
In fact, where is Li Sangou using the flag on the horn and balloon to inform the Song army in the distance.
Liang Yibury held back his anger and said, "Send someone to inform Yongneng and ask him to withdraw his troops too." β
The herald quickly rode to Liyuan Fort to convey the order.
In fact, in terms of youth, the main generals in this battle are not Wang Ju's youngest, but Erliang, and Liang Yibu is one year younger than Wang Ju. Liang Yongneng is the son of Liang's elder brother, but he is two or three years younger than Wang Ju.
Dare to love Erliang before he wants to be Huo Quai.
However, Liang Yongneng can also be regarded as half a jar of vinegar, and he can bump into it, but he can see it more clearly in Liyuan Fort, and he knows that this battle is difficult. Especially after the occurrence of Yeyin, Liang Yongneng has already concluded that unless a miracle occurs, this miracle is that the Liao army really Chen soldiers are in the Song realm, and the Song Dynasty is oppressed, leading the Song and Liao to go to war, otherwise the withdrawal of the army is inevitable.
It's just that this withdrawal, my aunt's life may be sad.
Different from Wang Juxiang, the biggest difference between the ruling pressure of the Liang clan and the Wuzang clan is that she comes from within the Western Xia, she is a Han Chinese, which is the original sin. Therefore, the Liang clan wanted to be whitewashed, and could not leave the impression that the Tangut people were not of our race, and their hearts would be different, so they abolished the sinicization measures of their husbands, restored the fΓΉ Fan ceremony, and then launched several wars against the Song.
Although the Liang clan was reluctant to dethrone the army, which made Wei Minglang and other party nobles oppose, it won the support of more party nobles. This is the reason why Liang is crazy.
However, this premise is that there must be a big victory, or at least a defeat.
But now almost the wealth of the entire Western Xia, as well as nearly one-third of Ding Zhuang, launched this war, and finally retreated with this result. How did the Liang family explain to the Tangut people?
Anyway, Liang Yongneng couldn't figure it out, he sighed and said, "Order, retreat." β
The three armies set off from the camp, Liyuan Fort is on the bank of Huachi water, located in the north of Huachi water, and there is a stone bridge on it to communicate between the two sides of the strait. Now that the snow and ice have not melted, it doesn't matter if this bridge is or not.
Groups of Xia troops withdrew from the bridge, from the ice, to the opposite bank.
Liang Yongneng looked at the direction of Huachi Town worriedly, the troops of Liyuan Fort were not afraid, after attacking for so many days, the casualties of the Song army in the fort were also severe, and what he was worried about was the Song army in Huachi Town. However, it seems that there are not many Song troops there. But it is better to be careful, so Liang Yongneng issued another order: "The three armies are assembled neatly." β
Such a swarm retreat is very dangerous.
At this moment, the sound of the horn sounded on the mountain not far away, and after the horn sounded, one by one the Song soldiers stepped on the skateboard, got off the water of Huachi, and quickly slid towards Liyuan Fort. R1152
