921.Chapter 921: Li Qianshun is finishing
On the front line of Qinfeng Road and Jingyuan Road, Wu Jue's Seventh Battalion and Liu Yanliang's Eighth Battalion were the absolute main forces, responsible for the frontal assault mission, and the Tianwu Army of the Dianqian Division temporarily followed up. 『『【Our website dashubao,If you think this site is good,Please remember to recommend it to your friends] They are facing several important passes on the Han Sea, as well as severe terrain conditions, once a breakthrough is made, the main force of the infantry army has to go north along the Lingzhou River, and the transfer road must also be fixed in the Lingzhou River, which is extremely difficult.
On the westernmost Xihe Road, Shaoxing's Ninth Battalion governed the Yunjie and Fanluo Army, as well as the Xihe Road School Parade Army, issued the Fanhan Township Army, and directly attacked Zhuoluo City. This army is relatively remote, the target of the attack is also Liangzhou, the theater is relatively independent, the Ma army is relatively large, and the number of Fan troops exceeds that of the Han army.
The strategy of the three-way army is obvious, the five armies of the two battalions on the eastern front, the five armies of Feicai, Wanjie, Konghe, Dragoon, and Yunjie, the three armies of Shengjie, Yunyi, and Guangrui in the middle, and the Fanluo army and Yunjie army on the western road, have a clear focus and a murderous appearance.
Xie Qian restrained Li Yanxian and Xu Huiyan from launching an attack, and the Song army of the five armies was violently launched in the direction of Xiazhou.
Immediately, the Song army entered the offensive position on all fronts, and the vanguard began to uproot the Xia army's strongholds, and the war in the northwest was officially started.
The war is not a swarm, the first batch of dispatches are certain special forces, pull out the point, probe the probe, and create the conditions for the assault force to attack.
At this time, the Xia Kingdom did not have the joy of annihilating the Song army of nearly 10,000 people at all, but there was a strange atmosphere, and the atmosphere was quite depressing.
Xingqing Mansion as the capital of the Xia Kingdom, has a history of 100 years, the outer city is about 18 miles around, the east and west are twice as large as the south and north, the herringbone layout, the rectangular city.
In the later period of Li Yuanhao's reign, he expanded the city to enjoy the extravagance, but it was limited by the lake groups in the north and south, so it could only develop horizontally, accommodating the terrain and showing the direction of the city to the south and west.
The moat excavated around the outer city is more than ten zhang wide, and the water of the large river is diverted to communicate the ditch water system inside and outside the city, and the canal water is diverted into the city from different directions, which is used for irrigating and drawing water sources and filling the water surface of the palace, and the defense is also considered to be solid.
The entire Xingqing Mansion architecture is borrowed from the planning and layout of Chang'an, the former Tang capital city, and Kaifeng, Tokyo, the Great Song Dynasty. Especially in the city gate and the name of the neighborhood, there are direct borrowing, take the highest place in Xingqing Yamen, that is also called Kaifeng Mansion.
There are only four gates in the outer city of Xingqing, there are city tower buildings on the door, the neighborhoods in the city are in a checkered system, the residents are densely distributed in dozens of neighborhoods, as the center of royal rule and life, there are large-scale palace buildings in the city, official offices and offices, as well as handicraft workshops and huge barracks and warehouses.
There is a summer palace in the northwest of the city, a palace in the west of Helan Mountain, a Buddhist temple, a Wutai Mountain Temple, an emperor's cemetery, and a Gaotai Temple and Zhufu map are built in the fifteen miles east of the city.
Gaotai Temple gradually developed into a city, stationed garrison troops, and became a guard in Xingqing, and its military significance was particularly important.
The battle in Hengshan Sanyuan was in full swing, the Xia army of 100,000 people could not be attacked for a long time, Li Qianshun was anxious, his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he adopted the strategy of Zhang Qiyuan, the envoy of Dajin, and annihilated the 46th Brigade of the Great Song Dynasty.
Of course, Guli Hei and Ren Jingde didn't dare to say that the 52nd Brigade Town had broken the siege, which was really embarrassing and even more unbearable.
When the news came, Li Qianshun, who had been in anxiety for days, was so happy and sad that he fainted all of a sudden and fell to the ground.
The house leak coincides with the overnight rain, just when the wind and clouds meet, the high monks of the Xingqing City Jietan Temple gather, the minister of the state is chong, the ministers of the important ministers such as Gongji and Wang Shu are gathered in the temple, headed by the crown prince Li Renxiao and the king of Jin Chage, the king of Shu Li Renli, for the emperor Li Qianshun to do things to eliminate the disease, pray for the blessing and prolong life.
The garrison outside is a three-step post and a five-step sentry, and the inside and outside are strictly guarded to prevent anyone from disturbing the conduct of the rituals, and violators are immediately arrested.
The city has begun to spread, the emperor Li Qianshun is not lightly ill, the imperial doctor has been helpless, even the most favored Ren, also went to the Jietan Temple to pray for a day, when the Song army three roads are about to unveil the prelude, undoubtedly aggravated the panic of the people.
There are rumors that the Great Song Dynasty has been properly prepared, hundreds of thousands of troops are waiting for the day, that is, a few days of hard work will start the war, and there are even outrageous rumors that the Song army organized a powerful horse army, ready to sneak attack Helan Mountain, directly arrived at the city of Xingqing.
The crown prince Li Renxiao sat alone under the pagoda of the Zen temple and meditated, he watched the situation on the side, and understood that Li Qianshun was already terminally ill.
Although the imperial physician was vague and secretive, he said very clearly that they had no skills to return to the sky, and now they were not concerned about Li Qianshun's life and death, but how to resist the crusade of the Great Song Dynasty.
Although he is the crown prince and looks like a beautiful one, in fact he is full of dangers and frightening every step, because his biological mother is Han, which invisibly puts him at a disadvantage, and he cannot get the full support of the party and the big clans, so he can only try his best to maintain his reputation and strive to get the support of as many ministers as possible to stabilize his position.
However, the mothers of the emperor's younger brothers, Li Renzhong and Li Renli, were both daughters of the party's big clans, which allowed them to gain the support of the clan that held the power of the army, and they also controlled the heavy army.
Li Renzhong is in Hengshan, supervising Li Liangfu's army, the absolute power faction, even Li Liangfu has to bow down to the ministers, since he can supervise the army, it can be seen that Li Qianshun loves this guy.
Li Renli is the nephew of the Ren family, a big clan of the party, and he is very idle and quiet, and he does not show any ambitions. However, people's hearts are greedy, and if anyone in front of the throne can not think about it, even if Li Renli has no intention of taking the throne, how can the Renjia family be willing They will support Li Renli without hesitation under the right circumstances.
As the crown prince, he understands the current situation very well, and unceremoniously said that Great Xia has reached the edge of the precipice, and he can't stay out of it.
Li Renxiao really had a headache, he didn't officially start the fight, he felt that the Xia Kingdom was in crisis, but the Great Song Dynasty was sharpening its knives, but the powerful still didn't know it.
From the beginning when Li Qianshun wanted to take advantage, he vigorously opposed it, believing that the Great Song Dynasty was by no means capable of destroying the country by Dajin, and that Xia could only maneuver between the two countries, taking advantage of the contradictions between the north and the south to seek the greatest benefits, and that he must not have any thoughts of wrongdoing.
However, Li Qianshun listened to the words of Zhang Qiyuan, the envoy of the Great Jin, rashly attacked Pingqiang City, or transferred 100,000 troops, so that the defenders in various places were much empty, and besieged the reinforcements of the Great Song Dynasty, and sent 70,000 people to set up ambushes, so it can be said that half of the main force of the left chamber caused the emptiness of Xiazhou and other places.
The Great Song Dynasty sharpened its knives and flowed out a fierce killing machine.
