Chapter 482
Mei Qingmeluo rushed to the Xueni Fort with an army of 10,000. △↗This army has a lot of troops, and the Xueni Fort is only fifteen miles away from Huaian Town. Renduolingding's army cannot be stationed under the city of Huaian Town. They are still one or two miles away from the city wall, and because of the large number of troops, they have stretched for several miles.
That is, it is closer to Fort Meli. Even if the Song Dynasty sent reinforcements, Renduoling Ding could transfer troops to support him in time. There was also one-third of the broken city wall of the Snow Mud Fort, which means that the Snow Mud Fort... will definitely be broken!
Yanda stood on the top of the city and looked out.
In fact, Renduolingding did not dare to take risks at this time. If he dared to take risks, he might get an unexpected surprise, that is, the troops behind Huai'an Town are actually really empty.
The troops stationed in Yele Town are Gu Yongping's 17th Brigade, and the Song army stationed in Qingzhou City is Gu Yongping's 16th Brigade. They are lined up behind this. How many troops can they have? Gu Yongping only has the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion, and Yang Pei has a little more troops, and the fifth battalion.
Don’t worry, there are also a series of fortresses around Qingzhou City, but almost no officers and soldiers are left. There are only a group of clerks and yamen runners, with a group of strong men, strong horses and brave men, and are terrified to maintain order.
If Rendao Lingding really dares to point the back, it will be a headache. At least it forces Wang Ju to play the trump card. The trump card will be revealed now, so it will be really difficult to play below.
Therefore, seeing the Western Xia army directed towards Meli Fortress, Yan Da let out a sigh of relief.
However, his eyebrows did not stretch.
After Zhuge Liang's death, Sima Yi saw Zhuge Liang's camp and was called a genius.
Does Zhuge Liang have military talents? Some people make Zhuge Liang monsters, and some people defame it as worthless. In fact, although Zhuge Liang is not as good as Han Qi in military affairs, he is also considered capable. The strength of Shu and Wei is at least four or five times different, but he was forced by Zhuge Liang to be passively defended. How can ordinary people do it?
What made Yan Da frown now was not the camp, but the marching team's appearance and order, which were slightly different, but the nature was similar.
Regarding this issue, Wang Ju deliberately said it when discussing with more than a dozen brigade generals, but in terms of individuals, the combat effectiveness of a Xixia soldier may be equivalent to that of a half Song army.
Everyone basically agrees with this assessment.
In fact, because there are many cavalry in the Western Xia Dynasty, Wang Ju's assessment is slightly lower.
Wang Ju said again, but one thousand Western Xia soldiers can only be equivalent to eight hundred Song soldiers during the Qingli period.
Someone disagreed, and Wang Ju said that all the three major battles of Qingli were defeated, but in every battlefield, what are the forces of both sides? Li Yuanhao always used 100,000 troops to pk thousands to 100,000 to 20,000 troops in the Song Dynasty. Even if he wins, it does not mean that the overall strength of the Western Xia is stronger than that of the Song Dynasty. It can only be said that Li Yuanhao's ability to use troops, and the number of cavalry in the Western Xia is also an advantage. Therefore, he can always fight less with more, while the Song army can only be beaten passively.
Then Wang Ju said again. But now one thousand Western Xia soldiers can only be equivalent to five hundred Song soldiers.
Therefore, although Xixia has many troops, there is no need to worry too much.
Of course, we should not be careless and underestimate the enemy. Although the Xixia people said that 300,000 troops may be insufficient, but not too many. Because there are only so many people in Xixia, and other places still have to keep their troops, 300,000 is the limit.
Moreover, many of these soldiers were logistics soldiers responsible for escorting materials, which was equivalent to serving husbands. However, Xixia's ambitious attack this time was bound to win Qingzhou, even if there was no 300,000, it would not be much worse. As for serving husbands, they took up weapons and were only soldiers. They must not really regard them as civilians. The battle in Naoebao is a good proof.
Therefore, Yan Da saw that under the command of Renduolingding, the three armies of the Western Xia were in order, and he was a little worried.
There is no need to be too afraid of the 300,000 Xixia army, but the Xixia army with strict military discipline will be a headache for everyone.
No wonder Wang Ju repeatedly said that this Ren Duoling Ding was noticed.
"These two or three days have been really hard to endure." Yan Da murmured, then looked at the direction of Liyuan Fort, and there was a little bad accident on the Liyuan Fort.
…………
"General Liu, the people of Xixia have already set out from that path to Anjiang Fort, but they have to wait three or four days... General Liu, are you anxious?" Yao Yi asked.
"It's better to be late. I'm at the back. The information is not very accurate, so I came over and asked, and there was no hurry." Liu Feng said.
"Of course the later the better, but that old man Zhao Zhong is very busy this time."
Zhao Zhong is Li Sangou.
"Hahaha, but he's worth the battle."
Now there are two major focus points, one is Gao Min's "disappearing" army, and their performance is particularly important. The other is Li Sangou's subsequent hard battle.
However, if this battle is fought well, Huanqing Road may be peaceful for a long time in the future. In other words, it may be Li Sangou's last battle. After all, he is getting older and a foreigner, so it is impossible for him to fight in other war zones. However, as long as this battle is fought well, his status in Qingzhou will be immediately consolidated and will replace the position of former foreign general Zhao Ming.
With this status, his tribe members will rise with the flow.
However, Li Sangou was old and his heart was not old. When he gathered that day, he was ashamed of being arrogant and acted ruthless, which made the other brigades speechless. What should we do? We are all civilized people and don’t bother with you, the old Fanzi.
As the two were talking, Guo Dutou, the Fan Luo Army, broke in. Deputy General Su Pingla, did not hold back. As soon as Guo Dutou entered the door, he knelt down and said, "General Yao, please save my tribe."
Yao Yi frowned and said, "Guo Feng, your Guojia Village is about ten miles away from here. The enemy's enemy rushes over from Dashun City, almost reaching a 100,000 army. How can I save it?"
"The Guojia Village is broken, they escaped and trapped in Songzimao."
"Su Ping, what's going on?"
"In the morning, the 5,000-year-old Xixia marched to Guojiazhai first. Guojiazhai did not defend it, so he fought and fled. He ran away from Liangmao behind to Liyuan Fort. When he fled to Songzimao, he was caught by the Xia cavalry and surrounded. Seeing that something was wrong, the patriarch of Guojiazhai sent someone to ride horses in advance to bring reinforcements from our Liyuan Fort."
"No! Five thousand summer soldiers and cavalry, how many troops are there in Liyuan Fortress? If the stalemate continues, tens of thousands of enemy troops will come here at any time. It is dangerous." Liu Feng said.
"General Liu. No. Although five thousand troops were first attacking our village, there were less than two thousand soldiers, and the rest were probably left in the village." Guo Bu said anxiously immediately.
"That's not possible!" Liu Feng said firmly.
There are many reasons in between.
A few days ago, we were mobilizing and retreating. In order to evacuate quickly, some villages far away from the forts were burned together.
But there are still a few villages that don’t listen, most of them are foreigners, and the Han people almost retreat without any support.
There are many reasons. However, in Huachi County, there are not many people who have been bribed by the Xixia people, so there must be, but there are only a few people, and even these few people cannot represent the entire village.
There are even fewer ones on both ends of the head and rat.
The main reason is that they do not believe in the court. There are other strange reasons, such as "rich".
The poor and innocent village evacuated.
However, when some wealthy villages retreat, they will inevitably worry about their respective precious property. The foreigners also pay attention to not revealing their wealth. They have two money and don’t know where to put it. They even buried it directly underground. This retreated to the rear. For hundreds of miles, some people were worried.
Guojiazhai is a typical example. The village is quite large. Yao Yi is not sure how many households are there. There are many foreign households without counting them, but there are about 170 or 80 households.
It is located about ten miles in front of Liyuan Fort, beside the Huachi Water, and there is also a branch river of Huachi Water at the village, thus forming a grassland with a considerable area of abundant water and grass.
It turned out that the Anjiang Fort was not brought back, and Xixia would often invade it. However, since the Anjiang Fort was taken down, both portals were controlled. So Guojiazhai was relieved and bold in raising cattle and sheep. Wang Ju just opened the Zhengbaiqu and bought cattle at twice the market price, which also benefited Guojiazhai.
So the better the village, the better.
It is a good thing to live a good life, but during this retreat, I don’t know what the patriarch of Guojiazhai thought, but I just disagreed.
There were originally more than a dozen villages like this, around Liyuan Fort, in Huachi City and Pingrong Town, and even Yao Yi, Liu Yan, and the magistrate Ding of Huachi, had to go down to one village and one village to persuade him.
Most of them were persuaded successfully, but there were still a few who were not persuaded, including Guojiazhai.
Their reason is very simple. Our village is big, with a wall, and the power to protect itself. Besides, there are Dashun City and Anjiang Fort ahead.
In fact, just the day before yesterday, Yao Yi went down to persuade him. At this time, it was definitely too late to retreat to Ningzhou, but Yao Yi persuaded them to go to Fengchuan Fort, this headquarters is not very far away, they are all in Huachi County.
However, the head of the Guojiazhai still disagreed and said that the Dashun City won?
It almost forced Yao Yi to say that this was the order of Xiao Wang, who you respected, but the truth could not be revealed at this time.
People die for money and birds die for food. There is nothing we can do. Besides, Yao Yi has many things to prepare in advance, so he had to ignore it.
Guo Bu was anxious and said, "My Guojia Village is loyal to the Song Dynasty, just like this time, he took the initiative to let the strong men in the village guard the fort."
"But I asked them all to go back." Yao Yi said. If Guo's village does not retreat, how dare Yao Yi accept the strong men in their village? You should protect yourself.
"General Yao, in the last battle of Dashun City, nine Dings and Zhuangs were sacrificed in our village. I can't just leave Xiao Wang, the court will not care about anything." Guo Bu continued to beg.
"The court doesn't care. Why did the evacuation happen? You have to know how much money the imperial court has to spend for this evacuation? How many Han people behind them are in dire straits again?" Liu Feng rebuked again.
This Liu Yan is not a good person, Guo Feng had to look at Yao Yi and said, "General Yao, be kind-hearted. When Xiao Wang was there, why are everyone fighting bravely? Because Xiao Wang said we should defend your home for you. That is why everyone is loyal and loved by everyone... Besides, Songzimao is only four or five miles away from Liyuan Fort. Are you watching everyone be massacred by the Western thieves under your eyes?"
"this……"
"General Yao really can't save him. If he doesn't save him well, he can destroy the plan of Ming Gong." Liu Yan said. Of course, Guo Fu didn't know who the Ming Gong was referring to.
"I'll go out and take a look." Yao Yi climbed to the top of the city, raised his telescope and looked northwest. It was not very far away, but there were some mountain moats in the middle, so I couldn't see clearly, but I could still see a large group of people trapped on the top of Songzimao Peak, fighting tenaciously, but some people fell down on the top of the slope. In the middle of the slope was a group of women and children who were trembling. As for the old man, he also picked up the earth bow and fought.
Yao Yi sighed and said, "General Liu, go back immediately and send someone to ask Yanzhou to send out several battalions of soldiers. No matter what kind of soldiers it is, as long as it is a soldier, just do the same. Furthermore, send someone to Ningzhou immediately and ask Minggong to send out several battalions of soldiers and quickly arrive at Fengchuan Fort."
"Han and Guo may not listen to me."
"Don't worry, they are not Lu Shen... just under my eyes, I can't bear it."
"Why not..." Liu Yan stomped his feet and quickly left.
Guo was a little stunned. Isn’t it just to save some villagers? Why is it so troublesome? It’s even more troublesome than what he thought, and it’s more troublesome than what Yao and Liu Sheng thought. Even after Wang Ju heard about it in Ningzhou, he was stunned for a long time, and then thought that Yao Yi made a choice, but changing himself as a choice, the price is too high, no less than using eight soldiers to exchange for one Ryan.
