980.Chapter 980: The Offensive in the Middle Lane

As long as the Chinese army Qin Feng and Huanqing Road can be defeated or completely annihilated, this war will be half won, the Song army on the east road will inevitably be defeated, the main forces of the two roads will be defeated, and Shaoxing's Xihe Road soldiers and horses will not last too long, and Liangzhou will be down in the near future.

However, Gu Lihei was really afraid, the Song army's offensive was too fierce, and the Xia army, the outlying stronghold, kept surrendering, and on the eighth day of the Song army's attack on Weizhou, he had to lead the army to break through and let the Song army occupy the city.

This guy did not retreat into the Xishou Baotai Military Division, but led the army north, crossing nearly 100 miles of Hanhai to reach Lingzhou River, fortunately, they were all horse troops and were not caught up by the Song army.

The loss of Weizhou, so that the Xia army's important stronghold Mengjing can no longer be defended, the soldiers and horses in the east of the Qingyuan military city directly retreated into the Chungang Gorge, the defenders of Mengjing City, also had to retreat north, the Song army completed the occupation of Weizhou City, Qingyuan Military City, and Mengjing City.

This was of strategic significance, marking the completion of the preparations for the northward advance of the Central Route Army.

Quduan's action was very fast, he immediately arrived in Leshan, personally deployed the attack, Wu Jue's seventh line battalion Shengjie and Guangrui two armies suffered little losses, and quickly replenished the armor equipment, Liu Yanliang's eighth line battalion Yunyi Army and the 52nd car brigade entered Mengjing City.

The strong combat effectiveness of the 52nd Brigade Town was valued by the general of the Western Servant Army, and it was temporarily incorporated into the eighth battalion sequence.

The 30,000 township army followed the two battalions to fight, and the 50,000 township army gathered troops to level Qiangcheng and prepared to implement the joint operation strategy.

At this moment, the Xuanfu Disposal Division adjusted the northwest camp of the front division of the palace, Wang Xuan joined the army as the deputy capital of the battalion, Wang Yu served as the deputy commander of the camp, and the former deputy capital joined the army Feng Yuan and the deputy capital joined the army, and the commander of the Tianwu army was appointed as the assassin of Chenzhou.

Regarding Wang Xuan's joining the army as the deputy capital of the mission battalion, it is also very interesting, it was supposed to be all in the army, but in the end, a deputy capital joined the army, which makes people feel particularly tired.

Because of Gaoping's insistence, the northwest camp is temporary, and there is no deputy commander and envoy to join the army, saying that it is to streamline the officials, to put it bluntly, he is afraid that people will fight for power, and you must know that the deputy commander and the capital join the army, and they are all able to fight with the commander of the capital.

Just talking about Xie Qian and Zhang Sheng of the Western Servant Army, it is not the master of the Tainiao Quduan, if the deputy commander and the army are set up, he will not be killed.

Wang Xuan is also a mediocre person, and he does not have the standard to compete with him at all, and he is an acceptable figure, but Wang Xuanke is different.

Back then, this guy followed Zong Ze to make a fortune, and the soldiers made the captives dare not attack, and he was a fierce general, and he was now a member of the Military Department of the Tongzhi Privy Council, and the Privy Counselor was definitely able to speak.

I can't help but say that Wang Xuan, relying on his identity as a cardinal counselor, dares to stand up to Qu Duan, let alone him, there is still some self-knowledge.

He directly gave Wang Xiufa Guantang and vaguely proposed that Feng Yuan be recommended as the commander of the Tianwu Army, and Wang Yu could be appointed as the deputy envoy of the camp, but he would never be set up to join the army.

Wang Xiu hadn't arrived at the Yongxing Army yet, and he smiled when he saw Gao Ping's Guantang, the limelight was released by him, and what he was waiting for was that Gao Ping couldn't hold his breath, it seemed that he was pinching this guy by seven inches.

As for Wang Xuan's grievances, it is the greasy nature of the cardinal staff and the front secretary of the palace, not **** the slightest bird matter, the discord between the two yamen is the right reason, this is the balance of power and strategy of the imperial court.

Qu Duan just smiled when he learned about it, Gao Ping's thoughts, he knew, as long as he didn't delay his achievements, he didn't care about the filth of the front division of the palace and the cardinal staff, it was only right that he could be promoted to the cardinal staff by virtue of his military exploits, and he didn't look at the front of the palace in his eyes.

Since, the armies of all walks of life are waiting for the day, and the Xia army has also begun to adjust its deployment, a major war in the difficult area is inevitable, and he has to speed up his actions.

Li Yanxian's Eighth Battalion took the lead in launching the offensive, with the chariots of the 52nd Brigade Town as the lead, the Yunyi Army followed, and the two armies covered the two flanks and attacked directly at Pule City.

Wu Jie was not idle, the troops hurried to replenish, the vanguard also began to move north, approaching Pule City from the flank, and the defense of Weizhou was taken over by the township army to guard against the attack of the Xishou Baotai Military Division to ensure the safety of the rear of the army.

Quduan did not hold an oath, every qiē was launched suddenly, tens of thousands of elites of the Song army launched directly, Li Liangfu knew that there would be a war, but he didn't expect Quduan to be so ruthless, directly tens of thousands of people pressed up, the battle of Pule City was about to break out, and the will of Xingqing had arrived.

Xingqinglai's will made them stick to Pule City and let the Song army besiege the city and go north. Let the Song army go as deep as possible, and then organize the horse army to stand by on the periphery.

Li Liangfu and Gu Lihei have different opinions, as the generals at the front, they have a very deep understanding of the Song army, and they think that the strategy of luring the enemy into the depth is inappropriate.

Because, the Song army has already occupied Weizhou City, Qingyuan Military City, and Mengjing City, forming a strategic state of covering two wings and advancing head-on, even if they go deep into Yaode City, they can also protect their transit channel. Without it, more than 100 miles from Yaode City to Mengjing City, sneak attack on the transfer channel, it is definitely looking for death.

Their objections were refuted by Ren Dejing, who claimed to know the Southern Dynasties and believed that the Song army would inevitably march north with all its might, and it was right to assume that the battlefield was in Yaodecheng.

Because, the scheming Brother Cha believed that if the scheduled battlefield should be set in Xiping Mansion, I was afraid that the Song army would make a false shot and deal a fatal blow to the direction from Yanzhou to Xiping Mansion.

The party members are not without talents, as the prince of the clan, although Brother Cha, although he is greedy and likes to accumulate beauty, he is also an experienced veteran.

He did not understand Wang Xiu's deployment, nor did he judge the strategic deployment of the Song army, but he did not prevent him from observing it from a strategic point of view.

Letting the Song army go deep into Xiping Mansion is equivalent to letting them enter the inner line defense circle, which is located in the soft belly of the second line of defense of the Xia army, and the Song army must have a strong horse army, which is likely to pose a great threat to the direction of Yanzhou, and must not let people be in danger.

The key point of the whole war, Wang Xiu designed it, and Brother Cha also saw it, it depends on who is the best player!

Li Liangfu did not think so, since the surprise attack on Yanzhou in Xiping Mansion, a strong horse army was needed, according to the intelligence from the front, the limited horse army of the Song army's western service army was scattered in the east and west roads, and the horse army invested in the two roads alone was eighty percent of the entire western service army, and there could be no strong horse army in the middle road.

The Guangrui Army of the Seventh Battalion, once known as the strongest Humvee Army of the Great Song Dynasty, was prepared with 15,000 horsemen in its heyday, and the momentum was quite huge, and it was difficult to even hold the Sun Tianwu. However, that was all in the past, and the Guangrui Army was reorganized and called the Horse Army, but it lacked war horses and became an infantry army, which was not taken seriously.

Therefore, the Song army implemented a breakthrough in the middle, completely established the strategy, there was no possibility of a surprise attack on Yanzhou, from the perspective of the position set up by the Southern Dynasties, it was definitely an offensive in the east, a defense in the center, and a strategy in the west, and the Song and Xia terrain could not avoid the way of starting a war.
