Heishui City in Xixia, which is located in the Gobi Desert about 25 kilometers southeast of Dalaihubu Town in later generations, was first built in the Xixia period. The army guarding it was the "Heishui Town Yan Army Division" among the 12 Supervisory Army Divisions in Xixia
”.
At this time, Heishui City was not a Gobi desert, but an oasis with developed farming and animal husbandry, abundant water and grass, dense rivers and lakes, and dense forests. It was also one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.
Because Heishui City is the only road and transportation hub from Hexi to Mobei, its strategic position is extremely important, otherwise Xixia would not arrange the Yan Army Division of Heishui Town here.
Heishui City is not only an important military town in Xixia, but also an important economic town. It is somewhat similar to Hangzhou in the Song Dynasty. Heishui City is no longer a simple military castle, government offices, residential buildings, shops, inns, Buddhist temples and printing presses.
Various workshops for Buddhist scriptures and tool making are all over the city, creating a prosperous scene.
When Wanyan Zongwang led his army to the west, the Xixia Dynasty was very worried that Wanyan Zongwang would suddenly attack Heishui City, so he deployed heavy troops to guard the city. However, Wanyan Zongwang had no intention of going south and went directly to the Gaochang Uighurs. This also made the Xixia Dynasty relaxed.
He sighed, the Western Xia Dynasty did not want Blackwater City to suffer any attacks.
However, after Wanyan Zongwang garrisoned the Gaochang Uighurs, the Xixia Dynasty quickly transferred some troops from Heishui City to guard the end of the Hexi Corridor.
However, after Wanyan Zongwang captured Shazhou, Xixia focused all its attention on the west, constantly dispatching troops and generals to rescue, and dispatched 30,000 troops from Heishui City to Guazhou.
But at this moment, tens of thousands of Jin troops suddenly descended from Mobei and attacked Heishui City.
The commander of this army is none other than the cunning Wanyan Xiyin. Only he can do this undeclared war.
Wanyan Xiyin was originally ordered to go to Mobei to conquer the Mongolian tribes. It was said to be conquest, but in fact it was mainly lobbying, because the Mongolian tribes in the southernmost part of Mobei used to submit to the Liao Kingdom. That was also the territory of the Liao Kingdom.
Later, after the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, these tribes dispersed one after another. Wanyan Xiyin went there this time, mainly to promote Dajin in Mongolia.
He also learned from Li Qi's economic lobbying. As long as you surrender to us, what the Liao Kingdom gives you, we Daikin can also give you. Not only that, we will also help you sell your cattle, sheep and horses, and help you buy them from the Central Plains.
Silk and other necessities.
All in all, it is a money offensive.
Of course, he also mediated the battles between various tribes.
Although he was learning from Li Qi, it must be said that this was a very good diplomacy. He persuaded many tribes to submit to Dajin and stabilized the security of the area.
But at this time, Wanyan Zongwang suddenly wrote to him, telling him the situation in Shule. Wanyan Xiyin wrote back to Wanyan Zongwang at that time, saying don’t think about the Western Region. The distance is too far, and our surrounding areas have not been consolidated yet.
If you go to the Western Regions, you will only lose troops and lose generals, and there is no benefit. If you can intervene in Tubo, you can enter Tubo and destroy the Song Dynasty's rule over Tubo. If not, we should target Xixia. As long as Xixia is destroyed, then we can
Attacking the Song Dynasty from two sides.
Therefore, the strategic policy of destroying Xixia first and then the Song Dynasty was put forward.
Moreover, Wanyan Xiyin also made suggestions for Wanyan Zongwang. You attack Shazhou and Guazhou first and focus Xixia's attention on the west. I will quietly gather troops in Mobei. As long as you succeed in the west, Xixia will definitely attack from Heilongjiang.
Shuicheng will dispatch troops to rescue. When the time comes, I will take advantage of the situation and go south, taking Heishui City first. We will attack from the west and north, and we will definitely defeat Xixia.
When Wanyan Zongwang saw Wanyan Xiyin's reply, he immediately adopted his strategy and sent troops to Xixia.
Sure enough, when Wanyan Zongwang captured Shazhou, the Xixia court was panicked. It thought that the main force of the Jin army was behind its rear, so it sent troops from Heishui City in the north to defend it. Xixia did not dare to send troops from Xingqing Mansion.
, because Wanyan Zonghan's main force is on the edge and may attack at any time, Xixia must defend from both east and west.
This played into Wanyan Xiyin's plan. Not long after the reinforcements sent by Heishui City to rescue Guazhou left, Wanyan Xiyin ordered General Wanyan Yinshuke to lead an army of 30,000 people and divide the troops into three groups to attack Heishui City.
This golden army was like a tide, rushing from high to low toward Blackwater City.
The Yan Army Division in Heishui Town originally had 70,000 troops, but 30,000 have just been transferred away, and there are still 40,000 left behind, which is 10,000 more than the Jin soldiers. This does not include the local people, and Xixia is
A lot of effort has been spent on setting up Blackwater's defense line, but the problem is that the original defense system requires 70,000 troops to guard it. If you suddenly allocate 30,000, then the entire defense system will inevitably have a big loophole. The defender of Blackwater City
Before they could rearrange their defenses, the Jin army came.
Moreover, Wanyan Xiyin obtained a large number of Mongolian horses in Mobei, two or three war horses for each soldier, and it was still a plain. People were like tigers, horses were like dragons, they climbed the mountains like apes, and entered the water like otters. Their power was like Mount Tai, and the black water was like
Tired eggs.
Not to mention Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Yinshu was also a top-notch general in the Kingdom of Jin. Three groups of troops simultaneously attacked the weakest defense of Heishui City, concentrating their superior forces to eliminate the strongholds of the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town one by one.
, it was so devastating that the defenders of Blackwater City were stunned and tired of mobilizing soldiers. If you fix any loophole, the Jin army will attack another stronghold.
Just like this, they were consumed back and forth, and within seven days, only 20,000 of the 40,000 troops and horses of the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town were left.
There is no other way. The defenders of Blackwater City can only quickly mobilize the supporting troops. I can't even save myself, so I go to help you. This is impossible.
However, it rained continuously all night, and the reinforcements sent out by that tribe were upset when they heard that the base camp had been violently attacked by the Jin army. Their relatives were all there, so they quickly retreated.
However, just as they were retreating, a golden army suddenly appeared from behind. The number was not large, only 10,000 troops. Although the strength of the troops was very different, the supporting army was unwilling to fight and was not well prepared. It was defeated by this golden army.
The army retreated steadily, almost wiping out the entire army, and finally managed to hold them back.
But in this way, they lost the most precious rescue time.
To the southeast of Juyanhai, north of Heishui City, between where the Yan Army Division was stationed in Heishui Town and Heishui City, Wanyan Yinshuke led all the main forces in a decisive battle with the Heishui army.
At that time, Wanyan Xiyin personally led a force to bypass Juyanhai and go directly to the rear of the Blackwater Army. At that time, the Blackwater Army was fighting fiercely with Wanyan Yinshuke. Wanyan Xiyin suddenly came from behind and the Blackwater Army
The defeat was so brutal that they forced all the Xixia troops to jump into the Juyan Sea. There was no place for them to stay on the land. They had to either go to Mars or go to the water. After all, the Jin army did not have ships.
But Juyanhai still turned into a sea of corpses.
After Wanyan Yinshuke annihilated this black water army, he went on non-stop and took advantage of the situation to attack the reinforcements that had just arrived. The reinforcements didn't even take a breath before he knocked down with a sap, and Wanyan Yinshuke was all beaten.
The army was destroyed.
This battle really made the Jin army gain momentum. It swept away the decline of the Yellow River Battle, and seemed to have returned to the era of Wanyan Agu's invincible battle. Wanyan Yinshu also became famous in Xixia with this battle, but with
In half a month, an elite force of nearly 70,000 people was annihilated. How powerful this was.
The Jin army successfully occupied Heishui City. One of the very important reasons why Wanyan Xiyin valued Heishui City so much was that Heishui City had enough food and grass. For them, it was a good time after a long drought. They came here on an expedition.
, it is difficult to keep up with supplies. If Wanyan Zongwang does not attack, then they will have to retreat. Although the Mongols gave them a lot of cattle and sheep, compared with the 30,000 army, it is a drop in the bucket. The poor Mongols
I can't afford to support so many people.
Wanyan Zongwang's army also relied on the Gaochang Uighurs and the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty to maintain it.
And this Heishui City is a treasure trove, with ample military supplies and fertile farmland, just like the original Yanshan Prefecture. After capturing Heishui City, Wanyan Xiyin and his troops really have peace of mind.
However, Wanyan Xiyin did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, but quickly transferred people from the border to consolidate the local defense, and ordered not to disturb the people, and immediately restore order in the local city. You should farm and herd, because
This Blackwater City is a granary that can provide continuous supplies, so it can be said that Wanyan Xiyin loves this city very much.
Another reason is that Blackwater City is too far away from Xingqing Mansion and Wanyan Zongwang's main force, and there are no major towns nearby. You have to walk for a long time to find the enemy. Summer is coming soon, so Wanyan Xiyin chose
Rest and recuperate in Blackwater City.
Since then, there are only ten and a half of the twelve supervisory military divisions in Xixia, because the Pingxi military division is already dying.
In fact, at this time, there were already nine and a half left in the Twelve Supervisory Army Division, because Wanyan Zongwang also won successively in the west of Xixia. He first personally led the main force to successfully capture Changle City. This battle was very easy, and the key was Guazhou.
They didn't dare to mobilize troops to rescue. Changle City was originally in front of Guazhou, which was equivalent to the first line of defense. However, Wanyan Zongwang cleverly planned to send an army to bypass Changle City and make a detour in the middle to create a mystery.
Guazhou had been fooled once and did not dare to mobilize easily again. They thought this was another old trick of encircling a point to call for reinforcements.
In fact, Wanyan Zongwang wanted to attack Changle City.
The guard of Changle City doesn't understand. You are behind us. We will help you block the enemy. We are under heavy attack here. You have done nothing and haven't sent troops to rescue us. This move of Guazhou guard Li Renhuai is terrible.
It chilled the hearts of the soldiers in Changle City. Wanyan Zongwang only besieged them for three days. After throwing a red date, the garrison of Changle City immediately left the city and surrendered. This is a p.s. I have only a small army.
Yes, it is the main force of the Jin Kingdom.
As for the real encirclement and reinforcements, Wanyan Zongwang actually did not want to attack the reinforcements from Guazhou, but to attack the reinforcements from Suzhou.
Shu Liesu and other generals led a long journey of 20,000 troops, bypassing Guazhou, and defeated the supporting army halfway, killing countless enemies.
Both reinforcements were lost, Changle City was lost again, and Guazhou was isolated and helpless. Li Renhuai risked his life to resist for seven days. In the end, Wanyan Zongwang finally defeated Guazhou, and Li Renxiao was also killed by an arrow in the battle to break the city. .
