Chapter 734 The Western Xia Cavalry Appeared Accidentally
Who would have had this idea? Han Qi or Wen Yanbo? It's hard to say, maybe they didn't have this intention, it was just that the ministers were jealous out of thin air when they saw the military commander's great achievements.
Zhao Xi really didn't believe that the dynasty would conspire against him. The reason why he stopped the matter with heart-breaking words was to put an end to the petty thoughts of civil servants.
The so-called commander-in-chief issue at the Great Court Meeting was just a sideshow. After the officials’ words spread, no one mentioned it anymore. Who has the right to command 90% of the soldiers of the country? Only the king. Or even the prince.
have such rights.
Obviously, the ministers and workers had no intention of letting the officials personally conquer... Mainly because Zhao Xi had no intention of personally conquering. If he wanted to personally conquer, he would go directly from the beginning and wait until the peaches are ripe before playing this trick.
There is no benefit to the various coaches other than making them feel that they are not trusted.
······
The Heishui Town Yan Army Division and the Heishan Weifu Army Division were Xixia's standing forces to defend the Northern Liao and Xijing Roads and the Uighurs, and were rarely used. This time, in order to achieve the goal of annihilating Gao Zunyu, only a small amount of cavalry was mobilized.
However, the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town has a relatively harmonious relationship with Xixia and the Uighurs. The wars between Northern Liao and Xixia mostly occurred in the northeast, so the combat power of the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town is not very strong...
A cavalryman who has not experienced combat can at best be regarded as a driver.
In addition, no one could have imagined that the Song Army would come upstream from the Gena River...
The Yan Army Division in Heishui Town has no defense, or in other words, no defense at all against the south direction. In other words, once it comes into contact, it will be a direct war.
"The main focus is to annihilate the effective forces and ensure the safety of the rear when the division moves south..."
After fighting all the way, Wang Shao no longer hesitated about such an order. As it related to the final encirclement and suppression, the partial army had no time to straighten out the relationship in Heishui City and had to annihilate the forces of the party members in Heishui City as soon as possible.
Such military orders are very vague. There is no specific measurement standard for what is effective strength. The only purpose is that after the partial division leaves, the entire Blackwater Town Yan Army Division will no longer exist and can no longer organize teams to pose a threat to the rear of the partial division.
Such military orders are very cruel, giving the soldiers greater discretion and allowing them to judge themselves... Basically, if there is resistance, there will be annihilation, and there is no other possibility.
The characteristics of the Dangxiang people are fierce, especially after Li Yuanhao rebelled from the Song Dynasty, which played a certain role in the cohesion of the Dangxiang people... Therefore, Blackwater City was turned into Shura Land at the beginning of the battle!
"Zhang Zuoshuai, why are there so many miserable Han people around Heishui City?"
They had already left the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town for hundreds of miles before Wang Shunchen came back to his senses and had time to ask Zhang Dun about these gossips. After completing the treatment of Heishui City, the entire partial division was quiet on the way south.
Yes, almost no one said anything... No one can easily let go after experiencing that kind of scene.
No matter old or young, no matter male or female, as long as there is resistance, they will be annihilated...
"Every civil and military official knows what is going on, and you, Wang Shunchen, also know it, but you just don't think about it carefully. Because they are originally Han people, either from Qinzhou, or from Huanqing and Fuyan, or even from your two states of Linfu.
Yes."
Zhang Dun's tone of voice was not very kind. Wang Shunchen was also familiar with Zhang Dun, so he didn't think anything of it, but his doubts only deepened. There were people fleeing in border states, some fled to the mountains, and some occupied the mountains to become kings and become thieves.
The smarter ones fled to the mainland, but I haven't heard of anyone escaping here.
"You should know about the Shengsheng Army, right?"
"Of course. These shouldn't be..."
"Yes! These Han people were captured by the Shengjun army! The Western thieves were afraid that they would escape back, so they abandoned the captured Han people far away in the land of Juyan... When they arrived, they were surrounded by desert and Gobi.
There is no chance of escape at all."
"You may think that there are many Han people in the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town. In fact, the ones who are still surviving are all captured more than ten years ago. There are almost none in the early years...all are dead!"
"More than ten years ago, in the state capitals along the border, which state's population did not decrease every year? They were still prime-age laborers. But when they arrived in Juyan...there was no one left in ten!"
The military division that suppresses Yan is just looking after and suppressing the captured Han people! Yan can't return south, he can only die in a foreign land!
Destroy all living forces... Such a military order may have been a little unbearable when he first entered Heishui City. After truly understanding what the Yan Army Division was doing, even Wang Shao no longer had any burden on such a military order.
.
And those soldiers who carry out military orders just don't know. Well, they should also know that although it is cruel to throw gunpowder bombs into a house that shoots cold arrows, as long as they know the whole story, they will feel that they have not done enough.
, at least the army doesn’t have the love of home to drag people out and race them against wheels!
For the partial division, time was really too tight, and there was no time to appease these blind relatives who were living in foreign lands, because they needed to continue their journey. Therefore, all they could do was to lose the entire armament of the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town to some scattered Han people.
The people of Guanzhong have never lacked courage, and hope that they can defend their right to exist before the country and Korea take over Xixia...
"Report to the Commander... There is a Xixia Cavalry fifty miles ahead!"
Wang Shao sent the scouts forward for nearly fifty miles. On the one hand, it was necessary to detect the enemy's situation. The main thing was to find places for the army to set up camp. When marching in this desert and the Gobi Desert, the army was not stationed as casually as in the Central Plains.
"How long have you been marching? How many miles have you marched?"
Regardless of the intelligence from the imperial court or the information obtained from the guide, it is said that there should be no gathering places for party members from the south of Blackwater City to the Military Division of Baimaqiang Town.
"Come back to the commander, we have been marching for five days, less than 500 miles."
Even if a camel pulls a chariot, five days is already the limit. For five hundred miles, the army has been marching on the edge of the desert. Except for the few water sources found by the guide, there are no suitable places to gather along the way. Why?
Will Xixia cavalry appear?
Could it be that a large-scale siege has been launched? Are these Xixia cavalry fleeing north? Wang Shao was a little confused for a moment.
"Set up camp on the spot! Order all generals, supervisors, and civil servants to go to the commander's tent to discuss matters!"
After the partial army set off from Suzhou, it had no contact with the imperial court, and there was no news about the main battlefield. It has been fighting alone.
Judging from the daily daytime temperature and what the guides and local Han people said, it was already April or May, and spring had begun to bloom in the Central Plains. Wang Shao was not sure whether the imperial court had launched a general offensive.
From the perspective of the imperial court's overall strategy, launching a general offensive only requires the overall situation to be formed. Wang Shao also felt that it was dispensable as to whether the tens of thousands of soldiers were needed... Li Xian's troops could go south, and they could also join up with Guo Kui's troops, or even plant
The jaws can also divide their troops and go north to complete the encirclement of the north of Xingqing Mansion.
