Chapter 120: You Fools

Chapter 120: You Stupid

The first 20 years of the city of Jialuzhai still belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, but in the fourth year of Yuanyou, in order to get back with the captured sergeant Jialuzhai and other four villages to the Western Xia, after which the two armies fought many times, and each other had gains and losses. The village is built on the mountain pass, according to the mountain ladder to the top of the building, the mountain is steep, high like a thousand thousand, the ditch is deep and dangerous, the east pillows the Yellow River, the west side of the reed water, the two big rivers have become its moat, it is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, once had the name of 'iron beating the reed'.

The Xia army guarding the pass was ordered to go down to the city to open the door, just uninstall the door latch, there was a loud bang, the soldiers who opened the door were blown away by the door, and leaned against the wall straight, and several other people were wondering what military affairs these people had, and they were so anxious, they saw that the people who called the pass had rushed in, and before they had time to drink, their mouths were covered, and they felt a cold neck, and their bodies stood up twice, and they were silent.

"Signal!" One of the leaders took off his hat and threw it on the ground, pulled a shotgun from his horse and shouted in a low voice, the person who came was Jiang Fei, the scout team of the Xiangyi Army.

One of the scouts nodded and immediately pulled a paper tube from his waist, tore off the oiled paper wrapped in the top, and burned it on the torch, pointing it to the sky, and with a bang, a fireball rose into the sky, exploding a beautiful red flower in the air.

"Someone is cheating the city, close the city gate quickly..."The town guard had just left the city to meet the messenger, and when he saw this scene, he drew his sword and shouted loudly, but the answer to him was two muffled sounds, not only did he even suffer several of his relatives around him, and they were beaten into a sieve.

"Take control of the gates!" Jiang Fei broke off his drink, and more than a dozen people immediately split up, controlling the horse roads and street entrances in the lower city, and stopping the soldiers who rushed to the lower city to seize the gate and rush to hear the news.

"The unified army defeated Yamato Fort, the whole army was annihilated, the city lord was killed, the Song soldiers entered the city, flee quickly!" Jiang Fei and a few people shot to prevent Xia Bing from approaching the city gate, while shouting to create a terrifying atmosphere and cause chaos, sure enough, their words had an effect, and they saw that the city lord was twitching all over, and there was a small fountain on his body, and he couldn't help but believe it, and he panicked for a while, and he didn't organize a serious counterattack...

A quarter of an hour later, Gao Pet led the Tenglong battalion to arrive first, a burst of random guns will be just organized Xia soldiers to defeat, control the main roads and entrances and exits, and then the army into the city to sweep, with Mount Tai overwhelming the momentum to eliminate the recalcitrant Xia army, occupy the whole city, at this time the sun just showed half a smile, hula outside the city ran hundreds of defeated soldiers to call the city, the result does not need to ask, they wandered around the valley all night, thinking that it was finally safe, but did not expect to throw themselves into the net. If it weren't for his decisive cancellation of the rest and recuperation, he set off overnight, and waited for the defenders of Jialuzhai to get the news, and then it would have been hard to attack it.

......

The left wing of the Western Xia Dynasty Shen Yong Jian Military Division controls the upper reaches of the two river valleys of the Quye River and the Balwei River and the Jialu River and the Wuding River Valley, this area is the passage of the northern nomads to the south and the Central Plains army to the north since ancient times, the military position is important, the agriculture on both sides of the valley is developed, and the supply and transportation are convenient. The Shenyong Supervision Military Division was set up here to prevent the attack of the Lin Mansion of the Song Dynasty, and to defend the Liao army from moving south, and the Western Xia garrisoned 50,000 troops in this area and commanded 20,000 households.

Now the Jialuhe military supervisor Yeli has betrayed Li Jifeng, and the Quyehe military supervisor is feinting to attack Linzhou Xinqin and confront the Song army, and the news of Li Jifeng's defeat has not yet come out, the Xia army in the Yulin area is empty, and the full battle will not exceed 10,000.

In order to create this favorable situation, Zhao Take took a lot of effort, and this was not all he planned, he planned to defeat Li Jifeng after his own victory, and then attack the Yulin area, forcing the Western Xia Shizhou Supervision Army Division to send troops to help, with his own pro-army as the main force to defeat it. Yongxing Road sent heavy troops from Yinzhou, took the opportunity to capture Shizhou, and then joined forces to recover the line of the Great Wall of Hengshan, and the land south of Hengshan was returned to the Song Dynasty. Not only did they occupy this rich land that could be pasted and cultivated, changing the passive defense of the Linfu region, but they could also get a place to advance, attacking Xiazhou in the north and Lingzhou in the west. …,

Since people do not cooperate and do not agree, Zhao Ta decided to go it alone, captured Jialu Pass, and opened the door to the north, Zhao Ta immediately sealed the city, sent the captured Xia soldiers back to Yamato Fort, and sent a scout dressed as Xia soldiers out ten miles away to intercept and kill the fish that slipped through the net. The army has not yet rested after continuous battles, and it is already extremely tired, so Zhao Ta decided to rest here for two days...

Mawan is a plateau near a small river, the land is close to the river, the land is fertile, and there are nearly 1,000 Han residents gathered, most of whom make a living from farming, and live a life of being soldiers in wartime and farming in peacetime. Their peaceful life was shattered in the early morning when thousands of sudden Song cavalry surrounded their stockade and sent them a letter with only a few words: 'Those who follow will prosper, and those who oppose will die'.

Looking at the wheat seedlings that had grown to more than half a foot high, and the cattle and sheep that had been conceived, the tribe chose to resist. They gathered more than 1,000 young men from all the clans to meet them, but these sturdy men only lasted less than half an hour before they were all shot. Then these Song troops plundered the villages, took away all the cattle, sheep, grain, and population, and then set them on fire, and trampled on the fields, destroying the fields, enveloping the population, and leaving corpses everywhere to fly away.

In the following days, from east to west, this Song army swept a hundred miles west of the Jialu River, and whoever gave up resistance was to save the lives and property of all the tribesmen, but they had to move to the Song land immediately, promising to redistribute the land there; Whoever resisted was immediately beheaded, and all the goods and cattle were taken away, and distributed to the village soldiers who accompanied the army, and the commanders were incorporated into their tribes.

After a few days, Zhao Ta's line grew a lot, and after the villagers who escorted the property and people sent the things back, they immediately brought people back, and brought more people. The prince's policy is good, when the war is fought, the prince's pro-army charges ahead, and they are in front when they rob things, and they work more and get more, everyone gets rich, robs more, and gets more! This greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the township soldiers to participate in the war, and they worked extremely hard to kill people and set fires.

......

After today's 'battle', the Xiangyi army camped in a valley, where the campfire was lit up, lighting up the night sky, the aroma of barbecued meat was everywhere, and the laughter of the soldiers could be heard from time to time, and they were enjoying the spoils of war. Zhao Ta sat alone in the tent, with a map and two letters in his hand, "Good days are coming to an end!" He muttered to himself as he took a sip of his tea. The reason why these days is 'invincible and invincible' is that first, it is due to the superiority of the firepower of the Xiangyi army, and second, the Western Xia adopted the national policy of using troops and peasants.

Except for the garrison, the guard army and the 'Iron Harrier', which were standing armies, the rest of the armies were usually trained while producing, and in case of war, they were gathered by the tribal leaders. However, the Western Xia still maintained the habits of the nomadic people in the way of production, life and fighting, and basically adopted a policy of 'desertion' after obtaining new prefectures and counties. Militarily, it is also longer than the movement of the attack, shorter than the city defense, so the Western Xia really meets the standards of the Han system of counties in the county, only a few counties in the Jingshi area, even if it is the birthplace of the Tuoba clan Xiazhou, when the Song army attacked the summer on the fifth road, there were dozens of residents in the city, and most of the population were scattered in the fields with abundant water and grass, which led to inconvenient communication and slow to get the news, so it would be caught off guard by the Xiangyi army.

It is now May 30, and the Xiangyi army has entered the Jialu River valley for five days, and there are mostly low slopes and hills here, which is convenient for cavalry movement, so Zhao Talian's fighting and robbing has gone deep into the hinterland of the Shenyong Army, and it is less than fifty miles away from the Mituo Cave, and the news of Li Jifeng's defeat should have been transmitted back, and his deeds of smashing and looting should also be widely known, which is like knowing that the flood of Zhilu Road is coming, and the embankment should also be built! …,

"Zhao Xin, ask Wang Senjun, Shen Zhubo and Zhao Ren to come to the tent to discuss matters!" Zhao Ta shouted at Zhao Xin, who was waiting outside the tent.

The effort was not big, several people arrived at the big tent, there were no tables, chairs and benches, the ground was covered with felt, and everyone sat on the ground around a large-scale map, "I just received the news, after we informed the news of the defeat of Li Jifeng and the capture of Jialu Village, Captain Tong still refused to send troops, and blamed us for acting without authorization, and ordered our army to return to Linzhou within ten days to relieve the siege of Xinqin!" Zhao Ta glanced at everyone and said, "In addition, I got the information, now that the Xia army has learned the news of Li Jifeng's defeat and our army's deep penetration into the Jialu River Valley, and now 20,000 soldiers and horses have been gathered and led by the deputy commander of the Military Supervision Division, and we are fortified on the way west to Mituodong, and the Shizhou Military Supervision Division has also sent 30,000 soldiers and horses to prepare to cross the Yulin River to support, leaving us with little time!" ”

"Lord Wang, according to our plan, capture the area between the Jialu River and the Mingtang River, and now that Captain Tong refuses to send troops, then with our strength of less than 10,000 people, it is difficult to control such a large place, for the sake of safety, I think we should quickly retreat to Yinzhou before it forms an encirclement of us!" Wang Jin said.

"What I said when I joined the army is that the distance between the two rivers is less than 200 miles from north to south, and the width from east to west is less than 150 miles, and it is mostly a flat and open land, and our army has no danger to defend, and in the enemy's territory, if the enemy cuts off my way back, once the grain and grass are exhausted, it will fall into death, and even if our army is strong, it will suffer heavy damage!" Shen Songyue said.

"I don't dare to agree, now that our army's morale is booming, and the soldiers are strong and strong, we should first fight a decisive battle with the remnants of the Shenyong Supervision Army Division according to the plan, defeat its army, seize Yulin, capture Mingtang Village, defend in danger, and block the soldiers and horses of the Shizhou Supervision Army Division in the west of the Yulin River!" Zhao Ren said, Gao Pet, Zhao Yong and several commanders also nodded in agreement, after a few battles, they all knew the power of the guns in their hands, and they didn't dare to say that it was okay to take one hundred and ten to one, so they all advocated a war.

"Alas, you are all wrong, the prince is 'Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword is intended for Pei Gong'!" At this time, Zhao Xin, who poured water for everyone, sighed and said, he saw that everyone's surprised eyes were focused on himself, and he glared at them with a red face, "The prince ordered a large-scale looting, destroying the fields and immigrants, and smashing this place to pieces, do you not understand what you want to do, you are stupid?" ”
