Chapter 471: Labyrinth (I)

"What do you think?" Liang Yi asked. ↗ Top Novel, www.

Song Ji changed his name again and became Song Dingcontempt, for this shameless traitor, Zhao Ji was so angry that he once issued a secret edict, whoever can get this traitor will be rewarded with a thousand gold. However, Wang Ju likes it, the more this Song Ji is reused in Western Xia, the more he will pit his godfather.

"General, send troops immediately."

The Xixia soldiers are divided into three roads, one is the south road of Renduo Lingding, and the Huanzhou carriage gorge road. The rest went all the way to White Leopard City, all the way to Jintang City. The road of Jintangcheng in the North Second Road is wider, although it does not belong to the two major trade roads of the Tang Dynasty, but it also has a glorious history, that is, the sub-road of the famous Daqin Straight Road. The Great Qin Straight Road is the avenue that the Qin Dynasty repaired to Jiuyuan County (near Baotou), and the main road leads to Jiuyuan from Yanzhou and Zichang and then along the east side of the Wuding River. But there is also a side road, starting from the Huangling Fuyuan Pass to fork, through the Meridian Mountain, through Huachi, that is, the road from Fengchuan Fort to Liyuan Fort, directly to Tiejiao City, through Hengshan, from Dingbian into Jiuyuan, Dingbian is now Yanzhou in Western Xia.

In the Qin and Han dynasties, it was built many times to make it flat and wide, and the road was paved with yellow sand.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, it was gradually replaced by the two avenues of Huanzhou and Suizhou, and the Guancheng such as Tiejiao City also disappeared.

It is not as wide and flat as the two major trade roads, but it is also an important road.

However, in this weather, the Western Xia army could not march fast. Until now, there are still troops on the way.

But this side is a little better than the other two roads, and the road in White Leopard City is more rugged, and I can't get up quickly. The road in Chexia is Henan's army, and all the troops have to travel long distances. So the two ways of assembling are slower.

But many people don't like Song Ji. Guleneng said, "Then what about the grain and grass?" ”

"General Gule. Even if we don't have soldiers. Didn't the Song Dynasty evacuate the people? Even if the Song Dynasty did not evacuate the people, how many villages could we break. ”

Of course, under the crushing of the 300,000 army, no villages can be saved, but can the Western Xia be worth paying a heavy sacrifice for these villages and a little wealth and food?

But when you get Gyeongju, it's two things, and the other side of Meridian Mountain is almost all Han Chinese. Then aggression at any time will have a huge gain.

Song Ji continued: "However, now is an opportunity, no matter the fort that is broken in the Song Dynasty, there will be a lot of supplies and weapons supplies, and all the people of the villages will be evacuated, and the troops can be garrisoned, and grain and grass can be stored. ”

Most of the villages on the front line are Tibetan villages, which are perennially facing the possibility of invasion by Western Xia at any time.

Therefore, they all chose to build villages in treacherous places, which often became a constraint for Western Xia to enter Gyeongju, and now they are all empty. It can be used as a barracks, and it can be used as a granary.

So this strong wall is clear. You can see it this way, you can see it that way.

It is also different from the battle of the Liaoxia River, where is the Great Desert, the Gobi Desert, and the Great Wilderness. If it is withdrawn, it will be withdrawn, and there are as many houses as there are.

There is some truth in what Song Ji said.

So now the evacuation of Gyeongju has brought endless panic to the people, and the whole Gyeongju is even more chaotic.

Liang Yi buried: "Then let's send troops." ”

…………

"Gao Dujian, what else do you need?" Dou Shunqing said.

After Wang Ju came to Gyeongju, he reused some "descendants", which is also inevitable.

Therefore, Dou Shunqing deliberately recommended some candidates to Wang Ju, but there were still some generals who were not reused by Wang Ju, such as Guo Qing under the jurisdiction of Huanqing Road.

But fortunately, Wang Ju reused Gao Min.

Don't underestimate the eunuchs, some eunuchs in the Song Dynasty were really competitive, just like Qin Han when Song Zhenzong was in the dust, even Yang Liulang couldn't reach him.

and later Li Xian, the fiasco of the Five Roads Expedition actually had little to do with Li Xian, on the contrary, Li Xian performed very well in that series of battles.

Then when choosing this important candidate, Dou Shunqing recommended Gao Min again.

"Don't use it," Gao Min pointed his throat and said proudly: "Our family should live up to the trust of Duke Dou." ”

He would not be grateful to Wang Ju, although the officers and soldiers of his six battalions were all deliberately selected by Wang Ju.

Dou Shunqing was still a little worried.

"We've got it." Gao Min patted the "clairvoyant mirror" hanging on the soldier behind him and said.

Then he said to the pro-soldier: "Bai Jiu, our family will pass on an order to you." No matter what happens on the battlefield, you must not take risks, even if our family is killed, you must not come to the rescue, but do not protect it. If our family is sacrificed, we will entrust it to Xiang Fang, and if Xiang Fang sacrifices, we will entrust it to Qi Zhong, in turn, Guansuo, Huang Ji, Song Ping, and Chu Banzhou. ”

"Whoa."

"Xiang Commander, you also listen, if our family is sacrificed, please obey Xiang Commander for orders. If Xiang Commander is sacrificed, please follow the order of Qi Commander, and so on, Guan Commander, Huang Commander, Song Commander, Chu Commander. ”

The officers and soldiers of the sixth battalion, the first battalion of forbidden soldiers, is also the most powerful battalion in combat effectiveness among the forbidden soldiers of all battalions, and this battalion also participated in the last battle of Dashun City. The direction is exactly the direction.

One battalion of Qingbian crossbowmen, there are only two battalions of Qingbian crossbowmen on Huanqing Road, which is a special type of military with crossbowmen as weapons composed of the best archery soldiers, one battalion in Huanzhou, and one battalion in Qingzhou. This battalion in Gyeongju was the one led by Qi Zhong.

The first battalion of Baojie, which is also the local Baojie army in Gyeongju, is commanded by the Guansho.

The remaining three battalions were all Baojie troops sent from Zheng Baiqu.

This was also deliberately selected by Wang Ju, and Gao Min would not doubt its combat effectiveness, but they were all in Zhengbaiqu and were not familiar with the terrain on this side of Gyeongju, so Gao Min was placed last.

"Whoa." The six replied in unison.

Before this trip, Wang Ju did not make any promises.

There are too many troops to make any huge promises.

However, Wang Ju said: "This trip, the official will give priority to it." ”

It is enough, even if there is a sacrifice, with the profits of the shochu workshop, their family will have no worries.

"Let's get ready."

Six will go down.

They began to change the uniforms of the officers and men of the 6th Battalion.

The best armor.

The best weapon, the entire two battalions of all the same divine arm bow.

The rest of the knives are also new knives that have just been developed. and only then manufactured. A small number of rattan shields. The six battalions were also equipped to the maximum extent.

Also, a special kind of combat boots, the boots have leather and cloth, but the boots are inlaid with a layer of wood under the soles, and some spikes are set under the wooden boards to prevent slipping.

and the various arrangements after this battle, so Dou Shunqing couldn't think of anything to give Gao Min again. Wang Ju has arranged everything.

I watched the officers and soldiers of the sixth battalion busy. Dou Shunqing only held back one sentence: "Fortunately, the enemy launched the attack in too haste, and the strength has not yet reached its peak." ”

Gao Min nodded, and said in a muffled voice: "If our family is sacrificed, please pass a word to the Duke of Ming for our family, the eunuch is also an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and he is also a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, and he also wants to serve the king and settle the people." ”

…………

Liang Yibury led the army to swagger towards Dashun City.

He can't be blamed for being arrogant, although the soldiers and horses have not yet arrived, the number of troops under his account has reached nearly 90,000 soldiers and horses.

The entire Huanqing Road. Including Wang Ju's eighty-six battalion of Baojie, as well as all the strong men and horses. Taken together, there are not as many troops as he has, at least the troops that can obey the command are not as many as those under him.

Why, for example, can the strong men and horses of the Murong clan obey the orders of the imperial court and participate in this big war?

Or some people who are old and young, and who are the only children in the family, or like some old, weak, sick and disabled, can they bear to let them go to war?

Or some tribes that are far away from the main battlefield, such as the rear of Huanzhou, especially the tribes at the junction of Song and Xia, have nothing to do with themselves, hang high, are they willing to cooperate with the Song army in the big war?

Therefore, the huge 30,000-odd strong men can only draw half of them at most.

So these nearly 90,000 soldiers and horses together are almost an invincible existence in the entire Gyeongju.

The army marched eastward, the drums of war shook the sky, and the flags covered the sun.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at Dashun City, the scout in front came over to report: "General, something strange has appeared in front of Dashun City. ”

When he came, the Western Xia did not know that the Song Dynasty was prepared, and continued to assemble in Jintang City under the banner of the Soldiers to the Security Army and Yanzhou, trying to continue to confuse the Song army.

But the first battle must be in Dashun City.

After the last battle of Dashun City, Cai Ting was forced by the shallow water in front of Dashun City, and almost everyone could flow through, so he placed a dam in front of him, and built a water village on the dam to protect the dam.

However, during this period of time, this water hao did not work, and what water hao also formed a thick freeze, which was enough to run a horse.

But Liang Yibury is not very confident in whether he can win Dashun City, at least if he wants to win Dashun City in the first battle, he has almost no confidence.

Therefore, the plan was to launch several tentative attacks on Dashun City to see if it could encircle the point and send reinforcements. If the Song army does not send reinforcements to rescue them, they will first besiege Dashun City, and then take advantage of the chaos to divide their troops to the rear of Dashun City, so as to make the territory of Gyeongju even more chaotic.

Then wait for the other two roads to attack, or cooperate with the capture of Anjiang Fort, then the three huge soldiers and horses will form a whole.

In short, this logistics still gave Liang Yi a headache.

"What's weird?"

"Some weird walls." Before the scout could make it clear, the scout came back and reported: "General, there is a war ahead." ”

Today, the strength of Dashun City is still very thick, two brigades will be two brigades, 22 battalions, in addition to more than 2,000 strong men and horses drawn from the rear, and more than 400 civilians who volunteered to participate in the war. The officers and men of Gao Min's sixth battalion cannot be counted, there are other arrangements, and now they must recuperate.

Dou Shunqing stared at the outside of the city, and the strikers of Western Xia outside the city had arrived and were building a camp.

"Lin Guang, can you defeat them?"

This is not Wang Ju's plan, but it is indeed a fighter plane at the moment......

Lin Guang looked at the enemy outside the city, there were a lot of troops, even if they were in the front army, there were more than 10,000 people. The fatal thing is that a large army of the enemy in the rear can come at any time. If you want to go out of the city to face the battle, you must end the whole battle in an hour. But it is indeed an opportunity, the Tangut people suppressed the superiority of troops, they were too arrogant, and they came by trekking, which was not a long distance, but marching in this ice and snow, the three armies must be very tired.

He thought for a while and said, "Dou Gong, okay, but I have a request, I will lead the soldiers of the Eighth Brigade out of the city to attack, and then ask Dou Gong to send troops to support when he is in danger." ”

"Okay."

After a brief conversation between the two, Lin Guang quickly gathered his troops.

Is it true that all the 90,000 soldiers and horses of Western Xia are vegetarians? So you have to be fast, even a minute is good. (To be continued......) R527
