He also showed his sincerity and moved away the troops surrounding Gao Zunyu's troops on the southern line... Once King Qin's division attacked on the outside, letting Gao Zunyu's troops go would not affect the overall situation of the combined attack inside and outside.
However, Gao Zunyu's troops did not know anything about the situation, and they just stopped moving to fight because the reserves of gunpowder ammunition were insufficient and they were not sure when to start the general offensive. Although they felt that the fighting had stopped strangely, they just kept their troops stationary.
Gao Zunyu's troops had lost contact with the outside world for a long time. When spring came, they found a place with mountains and water that was sheltered from the wind, built defenses with chariots, formed a chariot city, and carried out all-out defensive warfare.
Waiting intently for the decisive battle to begin...
This is the current situation. Song and Xia both thought that they had formed a grand layout with a center blooming and attacks from all sides. The difference is that the Song Dynasty did it deliberately. At the beginning of the war, or before, it cleared the periphery, while the Xingqing Mansion side
It feels like this pattern has been formed as the war progresses.
Therefore, when the war was in full swing, there was a sudden pause. Both sides were waiting. The Song Dynasty was waiting for the results of the encirclement and annihilation of the Weifu Army Division in Heishan, while the Xixia was waiting for Xingqing, Yinxia, and Xiping.
The gathering of warriors of the tribe.
In fact, from the perspective of real wars, there is no endless war that never stops. Many wars last for one or two years, or even many years, each for their own reasons.
Even if it is a war that both sides understand, they both agree on the process of mobilizing and deploying troops. Of course, this is something that both sides are doing.
Judging from the current war situation in the Song and Xia Dynasties, when the Di Qing tribe and Zhong Jaw tribe exerted their strength to increase the intensity of the war, and at the same time, the space for Xingqing Mansion to move gradually became limited, a decision must be made regarding Xingqing Mansion.
War... Surrender... Breakout. When choosing between the three, the Song Dynasty suddenly dragged the war into negotiation mode, which gave Xingqing Mansion more to think about.
The Xixia people are not stupid either, and they also know that the Song Dynasty has formed a siege on their own side. At this time, whether it is to break through the encirclement or fight to the death, it is definitely right to gather more string-controlling warriors.
As for the reinforcements in the Hexi Corridor, as well as the reinforcements from Heishan Weifu Army Division and Heishui Town Yan Army Division, whether they really formed a siege on the Song Dynasty on the periphery does not affect the Xingqing Mansion's efforts to gather troops.
The practice of sufficient force.
Regardless of whether the final result is negotiation, a breakout, or a deadly battle, it will require the sacrifice of more cannon fodder warriors.
In fact, Xingqing Mansion did not think that the Song Dynasty was determined to destroy Xixia this time... Even when the Northern Liao was at its strongest, it did not have the fighting power to destroy Xixia.
Although the current Song Dynasty has indeed improved its combat power, in the eyes of the Xixia people, destroying the country cannot be achieved by the Song Dynasty in just a dozen years.
Therefore, in Xixia's view, even if the Song Dynasty was very powerful this time, the final result was nothing more than speaking on the territory. Even if Xixia failed in the end, it was nothing more than a retreat of the border by several hundred miles...
But as long as there is a slight chance of victory or stalemate, party members will not give up.
All the assumptions were shattered after a group of cavalry from the Black Mountain Weifu Army entered the Xingqing Mansion defense circle.
The encirclement and annihilation of the Weifu Army Division in Heishan cannot be foolproof at all. Li Xian, Wang Shao, Cao Lin, and Zhe Ke Suibing all the way referred to Chong Jianzhong's suggestions and implemented the steady advancement tactics approved by the imperial court.
.
It even got to the point where you attack yours and I surround mine. Regardless of the tactics of the Black Mountain Weifu Army Division, they linked up all the armies and formed a formation with thirty or fifty steps between each chariot.
A semicircular encirclement of east, south, and west slowly and simultaneously squeezes inwards.
As long as the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division divides its forces and fights in chaos, as long as it remains in this encirclement, with steady advancement and compressed strategic space, they will eventually be brought together.
The plains washed out by both sides of the Yellow River were very suitable for such an advance, and as the encirclement became smaller and smaller, the formation of the chariots became thicker and thicker.
A team of nearly 100,000 soldiers still had the advantage of chariots and gunpowder ammunition to encircle and suppress the 20,000-strong Black Mountain Weifu Army... The final result should not be surprising.
There are really no surprises, the outcome is already determined.
However, in such a vast plain, there are deserts, Gobis, grasslands, as well as Yellow River erosion and large and small tributaries. As a Song army fighting in Xixia, it is simply impossible to block the small number of light cavalry from the Weifu Army Division in Heishan.
breakout.
As the cavalry of the Black Mountain Weifu Army Division stationed here all year round, in the eyes of the Song Army, it is impossible for humans to survive. They can also find a suitable path through the endless Gobi Desert and desert.
The passage from Heishan Weifu Army Division to Xingqing Mansion was different in the eyes of the Song Dynasty soldiers and in the eyes of the Xixia cavalry.
Therefore, a small number of elite troops from the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division finally passed through the encirclement and asked for help from Xingqing Mansion...
At this time, Wang Shao and other troops, who were unaware of these details, finally completed the encirclement and suppression of the Black Mountain Weifu Army Division and began to turn their heads south...
At the first moment, all the generals involved in the war also received the news... It was finally time to close the war.
"Drag him out and chop him!"
When Zhong Jia received the news, Xixia's envoys were still shouting in vain in the commander's tent, and they couldn't stop shouting, so they simply chopped them off... They had long been tired of it.
"It's time to close the confinement. It's been two years and it's time to close it!"
When the imperial court received a report from the front requesting a general offensive, Fu Bi just sighed like this.
During the hundred years of the dynasty, there were very few years without war. In Fu Bi's memory, there had never been such a relaxing time in the court as this war.
A war of this scale had almost no impact on the entire dynasty. Even when civilians were recruited, a rotation system was implemented, which did not delay spring plowing and autumn harvest, and did not affect the people's living and working in peace and contentment.
This is probably the state of a powerful country.
“It’s really time to close the door!”
After years of planning, it was finally time to witness the results. Zhao Xi also felt a little emotional.
In fact, the impact of this battle to annihilate Xixia was not limited to Xixia. Everyone knows that Northern Liao has always been paying attention, although they cannot see the entire grand plan, nor the troop arrangements of Song and Xia
The formations were set up, but they could see the outcome of the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town and the Weifu Army Division in Heishan, which were close to Shangjing Road in Beiliao.
Of course, after the big plan spreads throughout the country, I believe Beiliao will not worry about getting relevant information... I guess they are also studying and judging the final outcome of this war, right?
