The first thousand one hundred and fifty-six chapters are slow and fast
Liu Yanzong fought a last-ditch battle on the edge of the desert and wiped out most of Shazhou's main force, which directly led to Shazhou's fall.
In fact, Wanyan Zongwang did not attack to the death, and he attacked while taking measures to recruit surrender. On the third day, Shazhou defender Wei Mu led the remaining troops out of the city and surrendered, because Guazhou itself could not protect itself and could not send any troops.
Sending troops to rescue Shazhou and continuing the fight will only lead to more deaths, and it is impossible to change the already destined outcome.
Wanyan Zongwang is different from Wanyan Zonghan. The biggest difference is that Wanyan Zongwang has a longer-term political vision. After he entered the city, he did not go on a killing spree, but chose to appease the local people and let them live how they should, not because of
In addition, he favored Mother Wei very much. During the first round of attacks, it was this Mother Wei who led the defenders to repeatedly withstand the fierce offensives of the Jin army. Therefore, Wanyan Zongwang felt that this mother of Wei had
My mother was a talented person, so she gave him a big official position on the spot and kept him by her side to continue the war.
This is a great favor. As a surrendered general, Mother Wei naturally did not expect that her treatment would be so good, and she was extremely grateful. In fact, he had always been just a pioneer officer in Xixia, because he was not a Party member, but a Turk.
Therefore, he did not get the attention of the court, but Wanyan Zongwang valued him very much, which made him feel a little flattered. In this way, he would naturally be willing to take the lead for Wanyan Zongwang.
Logically speaking, we should attack Guazhou immediately at this time, because Guazhou only has 30,000 defenders, and not all of them are elites. If we delay, it will be very difficult to attack again once the opponent's reinforcements arrive. Therefore,
The generals around Wanyan Zongwang, including Liu Yanzong, advised Wanyan Zongwang to quickly march to Guazhou.
However, Wanyan Zongwang was not as anxious as they thought, but decided to consolidate the sandbank first while waiting for the siege equipment.
This siege equipment is very bulky. If you push these siege equipment to Guazhou, you have to wait until some time or month. Maybe reinforcements from Xixia have arrived. By then, even if you have siege equipment, it will be difficult to capture Guazhou.
of.
It seems that the days are passing day by day, but Wanyan Zongwang is still pushing the siege equipment slowly and slowly towards Guazhou. Only halfway, the generals below can't bear it anymore.
"Capital Commander. Without further ado, if we delay any longer, I'm afraid the reinforcements from the other side will arrive in Guazhou."
Shu Lie was so anxious that he almost burst into tears. He didn't understand how Wanyan Zongwang, who always advocated speed, could act like a woman this time, like a mother-in-law.
Liu Yanzong also said: "Yes, Dutong, now we should take Guazhou as soon as possible instead of pushing these heavy siege equipment. This is not what we are good at."
Mother Wei, who had just surrendered, also persuaded her: "Du Tong, in fact, the nearby cities are not as tall and strong as those in the Central Plains countries, and they do not need so many siege equipment."
He just surrendered, so I can't say more. The implication is to fight quickly and don't delay any longer.
Wanyan Zongwang just smiled and said nothing.
Three more days passed, and the slow march made the Jin Army's horses feel a little lethargic. This was simply an insult to their ability to survive!
"Report---!"
A sentry rider rushed into the account and said, "Report to the capital, we found two large armies heading towards Guazhou from the west and east."
Mother Wei hurriedly said: "The two groups must come from the Yan Army Division of Heishui Town in Heishui City and the Suzhou Army Division of Suzhou."
Wanyan Zongwang let out an ooh and said, "Why are you so sure?"
Mother Wei said: "The capital is not aware of this. The military department of Xixia is divided into twelve military divisions, which are divided into left and right compartments, with six military divisions in each compartment. The left compartment in the east is mainly for guarding Xingqing Mansion, and the right compartment is mainly for guarding Xingqing Mansion.
The compartment is used to defend the west and north sides. Once one place is attacked, rescue will come from all directions. The Yan Army Division in Heishui Town and the Suzhou Army Division both belong to the right compartment, and Guazhou is the gate to the west and the gateway to Hexi.
The strategic location of the corridor, Xixia will never allow any mistakes to occur in Guazhou unless it is absolutely necessary, so it is reasonable to dispatch these two military divisions to come for rescue."
Wanyan Zongwang chuckled, nodded and said: "I have already heard about the name of the Twelve Military Divisions of Xixia, and have done some research on it. It is precisely because of the existence of the Twelve Military Divisions that Xixia's deployment pays equal attention to both inside and outside, and the defenses are reasonable.
If there is something to do in the west, we should gather from the east point and go west; if it is in the east, we should gather from the west point and go east; in the middle, we should gather everything from east to west. It is really commendable to be flexible in mobilization and maneuverable in combat."
Mother Wei looked stunned and said, "So everyone knows it!"
"I just heard about it, but I don't know much about it."
Wanyan Zongwang smiled and waved his hands.
Liu Yanzong frowned and said: "Since the capital has already expected that the other party will send reinforcements to rescue Guazhou, why not capture Guazhou quickly? If the reinforcements of the other party arrive and we want to capture it, it will be very difficult. If
Without taking Guazhou, it will be difficult for us to move forward!"
Wanyan Zongwang laughed a few times and said: "I remember when I was only ten years old, one day my father and the current emperor took me hunting in the mountains. My luck was really bad that day. We wandered around in the mountains for a long time.
, the biggest prey I caught was a big fat rabbit. Just when I was very depressed, I suddenly found a few small wild boars playing on a flat ground. I still remember that I was really excited at the time. I took off my bow and arrow and was about to shoot them.
However, the emperor stopped me today. The emperor said that these little wild boars are not enough to fit between the teeth. If we take them back and raise them, within a year, we will harvest more and share them with more people.
It sounded very reasonable to me, so I put down my bow and arrow and prepared to catch them, but my father stopped me again. He told me that taking these young pigs back to raise them would be really good in the long run, but there was no way to explain this.
If we are hungry, we may have to eat this young pig in the end.
It sounded reasonable to me, so I asked my father, what should we do? My father said, this mother beast cherishes her baby very much. Since the baby is here, then the mother beast must be here too.
Nearby, as long as we wait patiently, the female beast will appear sooner or later. Because I was still young at the time, I was only half-confident, so we lurked nearby and waited patiently. Sure enough, within half an hour, the female beast appeared.
My father hit the female beast in the head with an arrow. However, the female beast was struggling with the arrow on her head, and wanted to protect the piglet from escaping. However, a beast is a beast after all. My father led the female beast out.
, Your Majesty and I immediately went up to capture the piglet. Seeing that we had been fooled, the mother beast immediately turned around and attacked us. My father took the opportunity to fire three arrows in a row, and the mother beast finally fell. We gained a lot that day!"
At the end of this story, Liu Yanzong finally understood Wanyan Zongwang’s intention and said: “Do you want to use Guazhou as a bait to lure the other party to come to the rescue? First attack the opponent’s reinforcements and then take Guazhou?”
Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said: "Yes, Guazhou is already in my possession. If I want to take it, it will be easy. But taking Guazhou will only allow us to move forward. We will still have to work hard to attack the possession.
Reinforcements from all sides are coming from Suzhou and Ganzhou. As a result, what we are speeding up to capture Guazhou is only going to be difficult for us in the future. In this case, why don't we first lure Xixia to send troops to rescue, and then eliminate these reinforcements first?
Then we can take Guazhou, and when the time comes we can attack Ganzhou and Suzhou, it will be much easier."
The generals suddenly realized. They all showed awkward giggles. Wanyan Zongwang was still Wanyan Zongwang. He was Wanyan Aguda's favorite son. He was also the most respected son. However, Wanyan Aguda did not pass the throne to Wanyan Zongwang because Wanyan Aguda knew that Wanyan Aguda knew that Wanyan Zongwang was the same Wanyan Zongwang.
Yan Zongwang's ability should be used on the battlefield instead of wasted on the tedious ways of governing the country. Wanyan Zongwang is far inferior to Wanyan Sheng in this regard. It can be seen that Wanyan Aguda's mind is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Wanyan Zong looked at the sentry knight and asked, "How many people are there and where are they currently?"
The sentry rider said: "The reinforcements coming from the east are about 20,000 people, most of them are infantry. They are less than ten days away from Guazhou, while the reinforcements coming from the west are about 30,000 troops, with cavalry as the main force.
Lord, we are still half a month away from Guazhou, but currently their marching movement has been erratic, and they are only half a month away from Suzhou."
Although the distance from Heishui City to Guazhou is more than double that from Suzhou to Shazhou, Heishui City is close to Mongolia and has a lot of cavalry, so the march is fast. In addition, Xixia soldiers have always been known for their fast march, whether they are cavalry or infantry.
.
"Obviously, they are also waiting and watching. If we capture Guazhou, they will immediately go to rescue Suzhou." Wanyan Zongwang nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "Yanzong, Shu Liesu, Balu, you lead the three
Ten thousand cavalrymen went to block this reinforcement from the east."
"As commanded."
The three of them clasped their fists and accepted the order.
Wanyan Zongwang said again: "Ben Jian, that field, Sai La, you lead 10,000 cavalry to block the supporting army to the west."
"ah?"
All the soldiers were stunned. There were only 20,000 reinforcements to the east. You sent 30,000 troops to stop the attack. But there were 30,000 reinforcements to the west, and they were mainly cavalry. However, you only sent 10,000 troops to snipe. They didn't.
It's not that I'm afraid, I just feel that this arrangement is too unreasonable.
Wanyan Zongwang smiled confidently and said, "Just go ahead. As long as you charge fearlessly, I will ensure that you win."
After Ben Jian and others heard what Yan Zongwang said, they naturally believed it and immediately clasped their fists and said: "The last general will take orders."
Wanyan Zongwang said: "The rest of us will follow me to attack Changle City. No matter what, we have to do something to show the Dangxiang people. It's time to make them anxious."
...
...
In a grassland on the border between Xixia and Mongolia, an army of tens of thousands is hiding here.
"Informing the capital, the troops from Blackwater City have moved south for rescue."
A group of sentries came galloping towards him. They came to a man in rich brocade clothes, dismounted from their horses, saluted and reported.
"Haha, it seems that Zong Wang's side is going very smoothly!"
This person was none other than Wanyan Xiyin. He turned to one of the tiger generals beside him and said, "Yin Shu is great. Now Xixia's attention is all on Zong Wang. It's time for us to show off our skills."
Wanyan Yinshu said confidently: "Don't worry, Commander. If Blackwater City cannot be captured, I will be willing to cut off my own head to apologize."
"These are serious words." Wanyan Xiyin laughed and said energetically: "The three armies obeyed the order and immediately set off for Heishui City. They must destroy the Yan army in Heishui Town before summer comes."
