Chapter 509: Reversal (II)

"Feng Chuan will be handed over to you." Liu Changzuo said to the deputy general Guo Sheng.

"Yes."

"If there are reinforcements coming from Dunzhou, you immediately rendezvous with Huachi, if not, follow the dispatch of Ming Gong." Liu Changzuo said again.

Liu Yan almost took away all the soldiers and horses in Huachi Town and Pingrong Town, and the two big forts became two empty forts. Therefore, Liu Changzuo's army must leave Fengchuan to fill this empty fort. But this is not the main thing, the main thing is that Huachi Town is one step closer to the main battlefield.

So the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion were left to be stationed in Fengchuan by the adjutant general Guo Sheng, and Liu Changzuo led the rest of the officers and soldiers to set off to Huachi Town.

The sky is about to brighten.

The scout reported to Du Duo La: "General Du Duo, the Fengchuan Song army is heading for Huachi Town. ”

At this time, there was no need to hide it, so Liu Changzuo lit torches in everything he did, which made the Western Xia scouts immediately find out. But by the time they found out, Liu Jun was almost at the foot of Huachi Town.

Du Dora was puzzled: "Could it be that they want to relieve the siege of Liyuan Fort?" ”

There's no reason for this, I've slowed down the siege since yesterday, besides, in the past few days of Liyuan Fort offensive and defensive battles, where does Liyuan Fort look like a crisis? Or want to come to an internal and external cooperation to deal with their tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. That's impossible, if that's the case, as long as Rouyuanzhai divides a force, these two Song armies will all be destroyed, and Liyuan Fort and Huachi will also be taken by Western Xia.

But he could figure it out right away, at least halfway, but he was also tragic......

The battle continues, but it is coming to an end.

Gao Yongneng and Dou Shunqing set up a horse, and Gao Yongneng said: "Dou Gong." Almost. ”

Dou Shunqing looked at the battlefield. Nodding. With Dou Shunqing ordered. Continue to let Gui Nianglang bury the cavalry to chase and capture the fleeing Xia army, Wang Wenliang led the Song army to destroy some remnants of the recalcitrant Xia army, as well as the prisoners of war and captured war horses.

Because of the lack of horses, in a certain sense in the Song Dynasty, war horses were even more expensive than people, at least more expensive than prisoners of war.

Then Jing Sili continued to stay.

Gao Dou and the others took their men and entered Dashun City. Dou Shunqing climbed to the top of the city and took a look. Let the guards blow the horn.

Hearing the sound of the horn, Lin Guang immediately retreated slowly and retreated to the water village.

The rescue army of the eastern camp of Western Xia immediately rushed to the western camp, and there were many troops, almost half of them came together.

At the same time, the two east gates of Dashun City were all opened, and Dou Gao and the others led their soldiers and horses to the eastern camp of Western Xia.

In fact, it was to combine Gao Liu's army with the army of Dashun City, and it was still not as strong as the two battalions of Western Xia.

However, the Western Xia and Western Battalions are finished, and the Eastern Battalion has few troops. It also divided more than half and went to the west of Dashun City, even the Song army also divided its troops. However, the strength of Gao and Liu was still more than that of the Eastern Battalion of Western Xia.

In fact, it doesn't hurt if it's not much, because the morale difference between the two sides is too great.

The two fiercely pounced into the summer camp, and this time it was different from the battle of Xiying, the Song army in front was fighting, and the Song army in the back was setting fire, burning tents, and burning food supplies.

Except for the war horses here, the rest of them, whether Dou Shunqing or Gao Yongneng, don't want it anymore.

The battle to the west of Dashun City has resumed again.

Eight or nine thousand Xia troops were about to enter the Western Xia camp, and Jing Sili took his men to block them to the death. Then the gate of the water village was opened again, and Lin Guang led his subordinates to fight from behind.

At this time, there were countless screams in the east of Dashun City, and most of them were Western Xia people screaming, and the fatal thing was that it was not dawn yet, and the Western Xia soldiers did not know what was going on, and their morale dropped rapidly.

With Jing Sili prancing horse rushed in.

One was high morale and the other was depressed, and Jing Lin and the others quickly disrupted the formation of the eight or nine thousand Western Xia troops. This is what I am most afraid of on the battlefield, and the difference in strength between the two sides is not so big. The Tanguts were defeated again.

The dark Chenguang was about to end, and Liu Shaoneng and his subordinates were setting fire to it and fighting fiercely.

"Liu Inspection, Xia Jun seems to have a lot of troops." One of them said.

How many there are, Liu Shaoneng is not clear, but it is certainly not as Liu Yan said, there are only more than 2,000 people. If you don't play well, there will be danger. Don't look at the city, in fact, the battle has entered the street battle at this time, the Song army is in the open, and the Xia army is in the dark.

Liu Shaoneng was not afraid, he said: "Don't worry, the goal we came here has been achieved." ”

Everyone nodded, they didn't come to kill or injure the enemy, it was just icing on the cake, the main thing was to burn the enemy's food and grass materials.

Liu Shaoneng said again: "But we are not in a hurry to withdraw from White Leopard City, burn as much as possible, and burn all the houses." ”

Breaking into one house after another to kill the enemy, that would be too stupid, and there was no need for it, as soon as the house burned, Xia Bing himself escaped.

Then Liu Shaoneng divided his men into three armies, one with 1,000 soldiers and horses, half of whom were responsible for killing the enemy and half of them were responsible for burning houses.

It was only a moment before the Xia army in White Leopard City began to collapse. They all went up to the gates and fled. If it comes out, it's easy to do. Liu Shaoneng ordered another group of soldiers and horses to pounce on the east city gate, and the other group of soldiers and horses continued to kill the enemy and burn houses, and he led his men to pounce on the west city gate.

The sky was getting brighter, but the White Panther City was a hell.

There are still some residents in the White Leopard City, strictly speaking, some of them are still from the Song Dynasty. Including the entire White Leopard City, which originally belonged to the Song Dynasty, was a small town under Anhua County, Gyeongju. During the Jingyou period, the Western Xia invaded and took a fancy to the geographical location here, so a military city was built along the mountain.

However, after leaving the Song Dynasty for a long time, are you still a Song person? But it was not a Song person, Liu Ju repeatedly ordered not to slaughter old and young women, which was also Wang Ju's order.

Like the Western Xia approach, Wang Ju still can't learn it, although the party women are very powerful, and there are Ma Kuijun.

The sky was getting brighter, and the three Song armies killed at least more than 2,000 Xia troops, and there were still in the city, but Liu Yan ordered: "Withdraw." ”

I've already completed the task, and there's no need to fight anymore. The Song army helped the wounded soldiers onto the war horses, and the horses were also captured, but there were not many captured war horses, only a few hundred. But many large numbers of donkeys and mules were seized. These were used by the Tangut people to pull grain and grass materials. However, the Song Dynasty also lacked large livestock. And they don't drag down the speed.

The group took these livestock and withdrew in the direction of Dashun City.

Liang Yibury also got the news at this time.

But the news at the beginning came from the summer army of Dongying, when it was dark, and when I heard the screams and shouts of killing in Xiying, the main general of Dongying immediately sent people to the side peaks to look. By the time the soldiers climbed the mountain, the western camp had already been defeated. What the situation was, Nai Wowei didn't know very well, and immediately sent someone to report to Liang Yi. With the withdrawal of eight or nine thousand soldiers and horses to support.

So Liang Yizhu didn't react a little.

There are quite a few troops left on the side of Dashun City, which was originally 40,000, but tonight it has become 35,000. But even 35,000 men are a huge army. How many real officers and soldiers can there be in the entire Huanqing Road?

Why did the Song army dare to attack Xiying?

However, he forgot one thing, of course, it is a good thing to have a large number of troops, but they have to be organized, if they can't be organized, what is the difference between 35,000 soldiers and horses and 3,500 soldiers and horses?

Moreover, the number of troops invested by the Song Dynasty this time was also considerable, Gao Yongneng and Liu Yan's subordinates were 13,000 soldiers and horses, and Liu Shaoneng's 3,000 soldiers and horses could not be counted. But in the city of Dashun. Dou Shunqing and Lin Guang also have two brigades of officers and soldiers, and Dou Shunqing is the first brigade general. Among the 18th Brigade, the officers and soldiers under him had the largest number of troops, except for the two brigades of Liu Changzuo and Wang Junwan. In addition to the officers and soldiers, there were many strong men and horses, as well as a small number of ordinary people who participated spontaneously. Although Gao Min is gone, there are still more than 10,000 soldiers.

And the city of Dashun blocked the waist and halved the 35,000 Xia troops, and the Song Dynasty always maintained a superior force in battle. But now where can Liang Yibury figure it out, he doesn't even know that Yanzhou sent 10,000 officers and soldiers to help.

Therefore, he was a little hesitant in the big tent, not knowing whether to send troops to help. If so many soldiers and horses still need to be saved, wouldn't the various armies separated from the front line be in danger one by one?

This hesitation dragged on for a while.

Nailai Wowei sent a second group of people to report that the Xiying might be defeated, and Wangliang Yi quickly sent troops to rescue him. The reason why he made this judgment was because Nai Lai Wowei saw a large number of deserters fleeing from the Duoxi Camp, but they were stopped by Lin Guang, killed them again, and then fled to the vast snow-capped mountains and cold fields, that is, they would rather flee to these mountains than flee back to the West Camp, but you can imagine how bad the situation over there is.

Liang Yi buried this to gather cavalry.

It was obviously too late to use infantry, but fortunately, there were many troops and cavalry under him, so he quickly gathered 10,000 cavalry and rushed to Dashun City led by Liang Yongneng.

However, time was wasted.

The scouts came to report and had to delay time, and the cavalry got up and put on their horses, and then they got on their horses, and they delayed again. The 10,000 cavalry had not yet rushed to Dashun City, and on the way, they saw many summer soldiers from Dongying fleeing in defeat.

When they arrived at the foot of Dashun City, the battle in Dongying was over. In fact, it is not over, there are still a small number of people who are resisting stubbornly, and the Song army has also sent a large force to capture prisoners and collect war horses. However, seeing 10,000 enemy cavalry coming, Dou Shunqing immediately ordered the three armies of Dongying to take prisoners of war horses, as well as a small amount of materials mainly armored materials, all of them returned to Dashun City, and divided their troops to stay in Dashun City, and then Dou Shunqing took his subordinates to kill again to the west of the city. Gao Yongneng led his men and rushed up the mountain road.

However, at this time, the battle in the west of the city was almost over, but it was necessary to continue to capture prisoners, but now the capture of prisoners was not the main thing, but immediately moved the materials of the western camp of the Xia army to Dashun City. The Song army was moving, and at the same time arrogantly ignoring Liang Yongneng's 10,000 cavalry, so that the prisoners of war were also moving.

Liang Yong was able to climb to the top of a peak, and his eyes were split.

But he didn't have anything to do, put it in the wilderness, his 10,000 cavalry was enough to crush the Song army, at least he thought so.

However, now he wanted to rush to the west of the city, and he had to go around the mountain road. As soon as he got up the mountain road, his cavalry advantage was useless. And there is also a Song army on the mountain road that is waiting for them.

He stood on the mountain peak and pondered countermeasures, while Liu Shaoneng returned with his subordinates, and on the way, he also captured countless Western Xia deserters by the way. Some of them deliberately fled to White Leopard City, and some of them scurried around, just in the palm of Liu Shaoneng's hand.

Seeing that Liu Shaoneng led another Song army to arrive, although Liang Yongneng didn't know where this Song army came from, he knew that he couldn't do anything. In desperation, he retreated to Rouyuan Village and reported the situation to Liang Yi.

However, as soon as he entered the big tent, he saw Liang Yibury angrily scolding the generals.

At this time, Liang Yibury not only got the news of the fiasco of Dashun City, but also got the information of White Leopard City.

The battle of Dashun City was the beginning of a reversal. The number of troops invested in Western Xia almost reached 50,000, so to speak, there were 35,000 soldiers and horses in Dashun City and 4,000 soldiers and horses in White Leopard City, but Liu Shaoneng didn't know very well, so he had to say that there were four or five thousand soldiers and horses, and Liang Yongneng was 10,000 cavalry. Although there are no 50,000 soldiers and horses combined, the gap is not large. But in fact, Liang Yongneng's 10,000 cavalry did not play a role at all.

The Song army invested more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.

However, the result of this battle was that the Tanguts were killed by the Song army more than 12,000 people and captured more than 11,000 people. The entire western battalion of the summer army was almost completely wiped out, and the eastern battalion also lost nearly half of its troops.

In addition, more than 4,000 war horses, countless cattle and sheep, and a large amount of supplies were also captured. The most important thing is this material, not only captured almost all the materials of the Xia army in Western Xia, but also burned the materials of the White Leopard City.

But the Song army suffered only more than 2,000 casualties.

In fact, as long as Wang Ju holds Gyeongju and does not lose, he has already given the Song Dynasty a satisfactory explanation.

Du Duo Layan also heard the news, he thought for a while, and finally figured out why Liu Changzuo advanced into Huachi Town, it turned out that the Song people deceived the sky and crossed the sea, and the troops of Huachi Town and Pingrong Town were withdrawn last night, and then joined the officers and soldiers from Yanzhou, and went around from the Twelve Panling Mountains to the back of the West Camp of the Xia Army in Dashun City, and then attacked from both sides, defeating the West Camp Xia Army first. Then put the reinforcements from the eastern camp in and continue to exterminate one for two.

This shows that the Song army may have laid out this plan very early.

But this plan is so clever, it must be Li Fujiu's ability, then there is only one possibility, that Zhang Qi is very powerful. He also knew something about Gyeongju.

So he immediately wrote a letter informing Liang Yi that he had to be careful.

When it comes to this, it is no longer possible to ignore the casualties of soldiers and horses, and the materials of White Leopard City and Dashun City are burned and looted, and logistics will soon become a headache.

He was originally kind, but he ignored Liang Yi's mood. At this time, Liang Yizheng was furious, and after seeing Du Dola's letter, he scolded: "Why can't you capture Liyuan Fort, why can't you capture Liyuan Fort, why don't you send scouts to pay attention to Huachi Town?" ”

It seems to make sense, if Du Dola sent a large number of scouts and noticed Liu Yan's march, then there would be no defeat of Dashun City. But who could have imagined it? Besides, it was snowing yesterday.

In fact, this is only a superficial problem, and the deeper level is this fiasco, and Liang Yibury doesn't dare to take this responsibility, so he has to find a substitute for the dead ghost to explain to the three armies and the entire Western Xia. Du Dora happened to be this substitute ghost. And Liang Yi's burial is also reasonable, why did I let Du Dora Raid Liyuan Fort, why did Du Dora Lai Yang Fengyin disobey my orders, but slowed down the siege momentum, so this fiasco is not my fault, it is Du Dora's fault.

After scolding, Liang Yibury sent Liang Yongneng to take over Du Dora's army, and beheaded Du Dola's to show the public.

However, the bad news did not end, and another frightening news came.
