Chapter 524: Nightshade
"General, the enemy's forces are mainly in Dashun City, Rouyuan Village, Donggu Village, Mengmen Sancha, Papaya Fort, Whittingburg, Ansai Village, Huai'an Town, Wujiao Town, Yele Town, Qingzhou City, Fengchuan Town, Huachi Town and Liyuan Fort, in addition to Pingrong Town, Fucheng Wall, Maling Town, Fangqu Village, Mubo Village and Huanzhou City also have some small troops, and the rest of the forts have few officers and soldiers, only a small number of strongmen are stationed."
"Do you need to talk about that?" Liang Yi buried the tunnel.
His own army was mainly on this line, and of course the Song army stationed officers and soldiers along this line.
"However, the general, even these forts have different forces, and the largest number of troops are Dashun City, Hwachi Town, and Gyeongju City. The rest were as many as six or seven thousand, and as few as one or two thousand soldiers and horses. But general, if you look at the map, Dashun City, Hwachi Town, and Gyeongju City are all on the right side of the Song army, and although the Song army is stationed in the forts on the left, how many troops are actually there? ”
Just like Zhou Yongqing and Zhao Pu brought 10,000 soldiers and horses to support, but one qiē was three, and the armies under Chonggu were more scattered, or Yan Da had a little more troops in his hands, but including strong men and strong horses, there were only 6,000 people, and Chongyi only had more than 4,000 people. The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty in Yele Town, if Wang Ju did not go to support, would be almost negligible.
But Liang Yibury said very unhappily: "What are you talking about?" ”
Song Ji means that the left side of the Song Dynasty is empty in Huanzhou, and it should be placed in Huanzhou.
But this was the original plan of Indo Lingding, the flank army came from Daseongseong to contain the Song army in Gyeongju, and the main force followed the Tongzhai River and the Guideok River to Huanju.
Moreover, there are two major conveniences in attacking Huanzhou, the first is the terrain.
The northernmost part of the Song Dynasty Zhenrong Army is Gaoping Village, Tiansheng Village, and all the way to the slender waist city at the junction of Huanyuan. Later in history, Zhang Kai pushed the territory to Pingxia City and Shimenxia further north, and finally pushed to Xiaoguan and Douling, Qinggang Gorge, which was on par with the east and west of Huanzhou, at that time the Western Xia was very dangerous, and even Tiandu Mountain became the territory of the Song Dynasty.
But here comes the golden man......
That was a long time later, and now from the thin waist city to the north, the west side of Huanzhou belongs to the Western Xia people, so Fan Zhongyan only built a large number of forts on the west side of Huanzhou. Such as Shichang Town, which is not far from the thin waist city.
In its northwest there is a large river mouth of Maling, since then there are 44 tribes such as the Yang family to the west, and they have invaded Huanzhou several times, so Song Taizong and Song Zhenzong renovated Shichang Town twice.
To the north of it, there was Wulun Mountain, and the Song Dynasty had to build the city of Wulun.
It is Suyuan Village in the north, and the north side of Suyuan Village is the enemy's camel flat, and behind the camel flat is the big Luo Qianchuan, which is called big, and it must be a larger mound.
The north side of Suyuan Village is Hongde Village, and the east side of Hongde Village is Guidechuan, and the importance is even more useless, and it is also the northernmost village in Huanzhou at present. Between Hongdezhai and Huanzhou, to the east of the Dechuan River, there is Yonghe Village in the west of Suyuan Village, this small village and Deokchuan, Suyuan Village form a triangle, one controls Dechuan Road, and the other is to guard Gyeongju City.
There is also the Dingbian village in the west of Huanzhou, the west side is Sandiangou, and there are three roads leading to Xixia. In the past, the Song Dynasty had let Murong En's son Murong Hua defend this village.
There is Yonghe Village in the east of Dingbian Village, and there is Daxian Mountain in the west, and there is a road in the northwest to reach Xixia.
It is impossible for these roads to lead to more than 100,000 Xia troops, but there is still no problem for 12,000 soldiers and horses to attack the forts on the west side of Huanzhou along these roads. As long as an army is sent to Huluquan Village and Slender Waist City, cut off the road of the Song Dynasty from Yuanzhou and Zhenrong Army reinforcements, and the difficulty is not high, the two villages have been abandoned for a long time because of the Chengping, almost the same as the Slush Castle. Then divide the troops to attack the flank of Huanzhou, and the entire Huanzhou will face a strong attack by the Xia army.
The second advantage is that some Murong did not know the blessing in the blessing, but instead recognized the godfather, and at that time, Renduo Lingding had already sent someone to secretly contact Murong Zai, and also moved some people.
Then under the multiple attacks of the Xia army, coupled with Murong Liying's external cooperation, Western Xia can quickly take Huanzhou.
However, Liang Yibury did not agree.
Lao Tzu dispatched not 100,000 troops, but 300,000 troops, is it only trying to plot one Huanzhou, and besides, what can you do if you get Huanzhou? The Song army relied on Maling Mountain, and was able to build a defensive line again, but it could not threaten Guanzhong at all, let alone halve the Yanyan Road and Jingyuan Road, nor could it covet Ningzhou and Yinzhou, the two relatively wealthy states of the Han people in the inner abdomen.
What else could Ren Duo Ling Ding say, besides, he couldn't have imagined that he would fight like this.
Now that Song Ji has turned over this matter again, how can Liang Yibury not be annoyed?
Song Ji said: "General, it was Li Fugui at that time, and now it is Wang Ju. ”
In just one sentence, Liang Yi buried it like a deflated ball.
"Besides, if our army does not come from Dashun City, how can the enemy transfer the main force to the front line of the right flank?"
"But how to divide the troops?"
"General, you don't need to divide many troops, you can transfer a soldier and horse from Tiandu Mountain to attack Suyuan Village, and our army only needs to divide a little bit of troops and horses from Xigu to Yonghe Village, and the road to Dechuan will be opened."
"But ...... over there in Tiandu Mountain"
"General, Tiandu Mountain is far away from the Song Realm, and Jingyuan Road supports 10,000 soldiers and horses, they will not have many troops left on the front line. The Song army did not dare to send troops so far, and although those tribes in Huanzhou were afraid to send strongmen to the Song Dynasty military camp, they were actually very dissatisfied in their hearts, and now that the Song army rudely did not accept their kindness, they would be even more dissatisfied in their hearts. This is what people's hearts, people, and people can also be exploited. ”
It seems to sound very reasonable, Wang Ju and Cai Ting are difficult to entangle, but these two are hedgehogs, if you don't touch them, everyone will be fine, and your hands will hurt immediately when you touch them. Just like after the last victory in Dashun City, Cai Ting and Wang Ju only took Anjiang Fort, and then they didn't take action, and they didn't even have any interest in Shipanling.
Besides, now Xia Jun is almost being led by the nose by Song Jun, and if it goes on like this, there is no good prospect.
Moreover, the Liao State sent troops, the Yanzhou troops were withdrawn, and although the Song army had few troops, as long as they held on to the forts without losing them, with the siege ability of the Xia army, how many forts could they take. Besides, this is the food and drink of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the daily consumption is an astonishing number, and it is impossible for Liang Yibu to drag it out for so long.
If according to Song Ji's policy, not only has a new logistics grain route been opened, but also the left side of Huanzhou is now empty, if you recapture the useful nail of Anjiang Fort and take Huanzhou, even if you take half of Huanzhou, you can go back and reluctantly explain.
Liang Yibury finally moved.
Song Ji said again: "Whether it can be carried out, the general can ask General Renduo." ”
was scared by Wang Ju, and he didn't dare to take responsibility.
Liang Yi buried so he sent someone to ask Ren Duo Ling Ding, Ren Duo Ling Ding was also beaten by Wang Ju, Song Ji's subordinates are Liang Yi buried soldiers and horses, but Yele Town and Mengmen Sancha are all his subordinates. More than 30,000 soldiers and horses were gnawed away by the Song army in one fell swoop, and Renduo Lingding also had some six gods and no masters.
Liang Yibury ordered him to attack the three forks of Mengmen, this is not that Liang Yibury is unreasonable, everyone doesn't want to withdraw, if you don't want to withdraw, you have to continue to fight, God knows that you have to fight until that day, so many army consumption is amazing, and you must also take down the three forks of Mengmen, so that the road to Tongsaichuan is smooth.
However, he sent someone to look at it during the day, and the scout came back to report, saying that it was because of the large number of people, but in fact, there was no need to report it, now it was more than 6,000 Song troops, plus thousands of prisoners of war, and many people from various surrounding ethnic groups who were taken captive, can there be not many people? So the improvised ice castle was being built at a rapid pace.
The height was still the same height, but the thickness increased, and after increasing the width, the Song army set up some simple war tent horse noodles.
The horse face is the urn city, and a rectangular pier is placed at intervals, so when the enemy is attacking the city, the two horse faces can be flanked by the two sides, and the enemy can be shot from two sides and frontal, and three sides.
A war shed is a kind of war tower that can be combined, and if the castle tower is destroyed by enemy artillery stones, or if the place where there is no castle tower is attacked, it is immediately combined to protect against the enemy.
Other important forts in Gyeongju also have this thing, although it is rudimentary, but in this way, until the spring flowers bloom and the rivers and ice melt, it is infinitely close to a real fort. In addition, six or seven thousand officers and soldiers are stationed, how can they attack?
Or like Liang Yi buried under Rouyuan Village, it will take many days to attack it regardless of the cost. Can hundreds of thousands of Xia troops drag it out until that day comes?
When he was distressed, Ren Duo Lingding received this letter, and he thought about it and agreed.
Because it is not too far away, if a not too large force, it can come from Wuyan Gorge and directly insert it into Daluo Qianchuan along some small river gorges, and it will also go to the back of Suyuan Village. The large and small stockades here are quite empty. may succeed in a surprise attack, but it will not be successful, and the rear also belongs to the territory of Western Xia, which can advance or retreat.
Moreover, the "popular wishes" of some tribes in Huanzhou can indeed be used.
And Xigu is relatively small, so it can't prevent the Xia army from going deep into Huanzhou, and Liang Yibu doesn't want to retreat, so the Xia army can't passively wait for news from the Liao side.
The main thing is that he pressed hard, so he saw the benefits, and therefore agreed.
However, Ren Duo Lingding was still very careful, and let the messenger reply, although this strategy can be adopted, but it is necessary to leave a part of the soldiers and horses to garrison Tiandu Mountain, at least all the infantry will be left, and then the cavalry will be sent, the troops are not many, but fast, and quickly come to the city. At the same time, he secretly notified the people of all villages in Daluo Qianchuan to immediately and secretly rush to build ladder equipment.
It can't be said that the psychology of Renduo is like that of a gambler who is about to lose out, and this is indeed a plan that seems to be very good.
The biggest variable is Tiandu Mountain. However, judging from the Song army in the past, it was rare for the Song army to make such a risky move and advance into Luowu City, which was already bold. And Luo Wucheng is actually only a hundred miles away from Suizhou, how far is the Zhenrong army from Tiandu Mountain?
That's it, even Guo Kui of the main battle faction has been opposing the management of Luo Wucheng from beginning to end.
But maybe Cai Ting will be very dazed when he gets the news, and then he will be overjoyed.
Of course, Cai Ting was happy, and the pressure on Huanzhou Road undoubtedly increased.
And Wang Ju couldn't have imagined that Xixia would dare to get to this point......
…………
"Give me back my life," said Du Dora, holding his bloody head.
Liang Yongneng woke up in fright, he sat on the couch, sweating profusely, and after a while, he walked out of the tent in his clothes.
This is called thinking during the day and dreaming at night.
Du Dola's death this time was very unjust, and with him being wrongfully beheaded by Liang Yongneng, more than 30,000 soldiers were unhappy, and all kinds of bad news came out, morale was low, and Liang Yongneng had to slow down the pace of siege.
In fact, in several offensive and defensive battles, the losses of the Xia army in the offensive and defensive battles of Liyuan Fort were second only to Rouyuan Village, and they were heavier than Fort Meili, Slush Fort and Mengmen Sancha. Although the offensive and defensive battles were fierce, they lasted for a short time. Liyuan Fort has been attacking the city almost every day for the past few days.
However, as the hot air balloon rose, Liang Yongneng was also at a loss.
He walked out of the tent, and the three armies snored.
At this time, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the weather is getting better again, the cold wind is not as sharp as the previous days, and the weather is gradually becoming warmer.
Let's hope it's a little warmer.
Liang Yongneng thought to himself.
Before they attacked, they had a good calculation, thinking that the weather was cold, the Song army was not adaptable, and it was around the Lantern Festival, so they would take the Gyeongju Zhubao while the Song army was caught off guard. But I didn't expect that this cold weather would bring all kinds of inconveniences to the Tangut people, including the cavalry, which could not play a role. However, it brought some magical tactics to the Song army.
Now the whole Xia Jun is not hoping for the cold weather, but hoping that it is best to have a warm spring immediately.
But that's not possible.
At this moment, a loud horn suddenly sounded from the mountain in the wilderness.
At the same time, the gate of Liyuan Fort is also slowly opening.
Liang Yongneng was terrified, and hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack." ”
The three armies immediately woke up from their slumber, clothed, assembled, and lined up.
I'm really afraid, in a few night raids, the Song army ate more than 10,000 and 20,000. Although there are many troops here in Liyuan Fort, and they are close to the main army, it is hard to say, in case the Song army comes to surrender again, coupled with the heavy troops of Huachi Town, maybe their own soldiers and horses can also be eaten by the Song army.
They assembled and prepared to fight, but the gate of Liyuan Fort was closed again, and a large number of torches suddenly appeared on the top of the city, and many Song soldiers shouted: "Stupid, a group of stupid pigs." ”
As for the horn in the field, the sound of the horn also stopped.
Dare to love is Song Jun teasing Liang Yiburi.
Liang Yi was trembling with anger, and he shouted: "Send someone to search for it immediately." ”
Some rangers rode out of the camp and went out into the field to hunt down the Song army who were blowing the horns.
"All go back to the tent to rest," Liang Yiburi said again.
He also returned to the tent, but for a long time the summer horses who were searching for him had not returned, and at this moment, the sound of horns came from the field again. Liang Yibury was furious, he put on his clothes again, and saw the city gate slowly open again, but this time it was different, there were many Song troops standing behind the outside of the city.
Liang Yongneng was about to go crazy, he tried to calm down, and asked, "Did the cavalry who searched for them come back?" ”
His guards shook their heads, and none of them returned.
At this time, a general in Dongying came over and said, "I just faintly heard some shouts in the tent, General Liang, be careful." ”
Hundreds of rangers were sent just now, but none of them came back, and there were shouts of killing, indicating that these rangers were ambushed together, so there were quite a few Song troops who came.
You can't let the three armies get up and assemble anymore, what has become of it, the whole grass and trees are soldiers, no more, two days of torture, I'm afraid there is no basic morale left, so how can you fight?
Liang Yongneng walked around and said, "Immediately divide the three armies into three squads and take turns to rest." ”
At this moment, another shout came from the south: "Liang Yiburi, you stupid pig, go home and eat your sister's milk." ”
This shouting place was very close to their camp, only a few hundred paces, and even these Song soldiers rode over without arrogance, and then dismounted and shouted with torches, and then put down a group of corpses and rode away with a swagger.
Liang Yongneng walked over angrily, these corpses were the rangers he had just sent out to chase, but now they were all stripped into bare pigs, and a stupid word was placed on the ground.
Liang Yongneng angrily ordered to send a group of thousands of soldiers and horses out of the camp to chase after him, but he was also mistaken, these Song horses were strong men and horses sent by Huachi Town, the terrain was familiar, not far away, the Xia army had not caught up, and the people had returned to Huachi Town safely, and there was a kind of chasing again. This Xia army had no choice but to go back sullenly.
On this night, a similar scene occurred not only in Liyuan Fort, but also in Dongguqi, Xiguqi, and Wujiao Town...... R1152
