Chapter 380: Who Dare to Beak?
When Zhe Keshi said 'wait', and Chong Pu and the others didn't dare to speak, the other Song soldiers were also anxious and patient.
It has been more than a month since the news of the Xia people's attack, and it has been ten days since the siege of Pingxia City, but the Song army has been standing still, sitting and watching the Xia army attack the city, Xihe Road has been shot, and the armies are ready to move, reporting from time to time, asking for troops.
These restless emotions were concentrated in Qinzhou.
At this time, Zhao Xu was sitting in the back hall, reviewing all kinds of intelligence, and also dealing with various government affairs transferred from Beijing.
For government affairs, Zhao Xu doesn't have much thought now, focusing on the battle situation.
Seeing that the Xia army gathered and stormed Pingxia City, and the reinforcements from all walks of life arrived at the designated location, Zhao Xu was also ready to move in his heart.
"The essence of human beings is that it smells good." Zhao Xu looked at the report book sent by Xihe Road, and muttered to himself with a fiery heart.
Chen Pi listened, took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Official, do you want to eat?" ”
Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew that Chen Pi didn't understand, waved his hand, and said, "There is no food here, everything is frugal and low-key." What's the news from the Prime Minister? ”
The privy envoy Jang Ki is now in Gyeongju and personally presides over all the war situations.
Chen Pi recalled and said, "There are no new ones, as I said before, it may be within five days." ”
Zhao Xu nodded lightly, looked at the information in his hand, and looked at the map again, the Songxia border is very long, and there are many places to attack, so there is no need to be so trapped at all.
But Zhang Qi and the others know more about the army than him, plus he has a promise before? This only made his 'true fragrance' thoughts even more uncontrollable.
Zhao Xu took a sip of tea? Forced to intervene in the restless heart of the military. After all, there are so many bloody lessons in history? A leader who does not move the military blindly commands? Ruining the big picture abounds.
"Five days?"
Zhao Xu muttered to himself, thinking in his heart for a while? Said: "Did I send the letter of commendation I wrote to Xihe Road?" ”
"Sent out early in the morning." Chen Pi said.
Zhao Xu snorted and stretched his waist? He said, "I really want to go to Gyeongju." ”
Gyeongju is the center of Huangyon-ro? It is the front line, and Qinzhou is the rear base camp, which is a little far away.
Chen Pi stopped talking.
But that's what Zhao Xu said, and he won't really go regardless of the overall situation. What if he goes to Gyeongju? Isn't it morale-boosting? It was a fright, I am afraid that the generals on the front line, including Zhang Ji, can be frightened.
At this moment, a report came from outside: "Qi Guan's house, the Imperial City Division urgently reported secretly?" From the Imperial City Division Commander Cai You. ”
Zhao Xu's expression was slightly shocked, and he hurriedly said, "Take it in." ”
Maybe Cai You is out of the idea of competing with Qingtianwei? personally infiltrated Western Xia, and Zhao Xu only got news sporadically? It is not clear what exactly he is going to do.
The inner warden, outside, responded and came in with a box.
Zhao Xu opened it in a hurry? Read the preface first? Is it Cai Bian's report? Hurriedly swept it, looked for surprise, and flipped through the various information below.
Here is the deployment of the Xia army on the Song-Xia border, as well as the internal situation of the Xia army, as well as various information collected by Cai You.
Zhao Xuzai carefully examined it, and immediately said: "Ordered the construction of Hedong Road, immediately send troops to the Left Wing Army Shenyong Military Division, there are only 2,000 people there, let him take it down for me, and then send troops to Xiangyou Military Division!" ”
Zhao Xu couldn't bear it anymore after all.
The Left Xiang Army is very close to Hedong Road, and the Xiangyou Military Division is the most important strategic point in the Hengshan region of Western Xia, once it is taken, the entire right side will be vacant!
Chen Pi hesitated and said, "Official, do you want to notify Xianggong Zhang first?" ”
Hedong Road, which was not originally in the sequence of their current operation, was mainly to guard against the Liao.
Zhao Xu snorted, his heart was excited, he stood up, walked around, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Give the order first!" In addition, a copy of these things was copied, sent to the staff office, and the original was sent to Gyeongju! ”
These things came at the right time, and it was time!
"Yes!" Chen Pi didn't say anything more, and immediately turned around and went out.
Zhao Xu was still difficult to calm down, his heart flew to the front line, and without waiting for Chen Pi to leave, Zhao Xu said again: "Send a message to Zhang Xianggong, just say, I want more, in addition, send a message back to Beijing, after I return to Beijing, I want to worship my ancestors!" ”
"Yes." Chen Pi hurriedly turned around and responded.
Hold the cards in one hand!
Chen Pi felt these four words from Zhao Xu's tone.
With Zhao Xu's order in Qinzhou and the transmission of the intelligence line, the entire Song army suddenly boiled.
That evening, Gyeongju.
Zhang Qi examined the information sent by Zhao Xu, his eyes were burning, and the white hair on his temples was like a sharp sword, fluttering slowly.
"The official is right, it's time."
Zhang Qi muttered to himself, and then said: "Order, first, Xihe Road continues to attack. Second, Zong Ze and Chu Yu attacked, and they must have results. Third, fate can be adjusted, and he will entangle his sister Le Du. Wang En, the seed master supports Pingxia City, twenty miles away! ”
"Yes." Officials responded.
Zhang Qi still looked at the information, staring at one of the money and food for a long time.
This information came from Cai You's synthesis of the famous Ah Shan and multiple intelligence lines, which roughly means: Xia Jun's rations are at most twenty days, and normally only fifteen days!
Empress Dowager Liang brought an army of 220,000 this time, as well as many military dependents, plus cavalry, etc., the consumption of money and food was huge, and in 20 days, it was already a limit for the Western Xia, which had a population of two or three million and waged wars again and again!
"Three days at most." Zhang Qi said indifferently.
Judging by his experience, the Xia people can hold out for three days at most, and if they take Pingxia City in three days and get supplements, they can continue to fight.
But even if Pingxia City is breached, Guo Cheng will burn the grain and grass, and the Song army has long been fortified and cleared, and the Xia army will not last long!
'Fortify the city and defend the wall', this is the most common and effective tactic for the Song army to deal with the Western Xia!
As soon as Qinzhou and Gyeongju's orders were issued, the first thing to move was Hedong Road.
The cavalry in the construction of the plant, which had long been ready to go, suddenly crossed the Song-Xia border and went straight to the left wing of the Western Xia.
Because the troops were taken away, there were only two or three thousand people here.
In the face of the 20,000 cavalry of the Song Army who were suddenly killed, the Left Wing Military Division had little resistance, and the commander of the army Renduo Debao was the first to escape.
"Shizhou!"
Tall, wooden-looking, his voice hummed and ordered.
Shizhou is where the Xiangyou Military Division is located, and it bypassed Yinzhou and went straight to the Hengshan area, the key point of the Xia army!
And Chu You waved the Tiger and Leopard Army, attacked Rouwolf Mountain, entered Huizhou, and approached the Xishou Baotai Military Division.
Zong Ze is attacking the Great Wall Ridge, the target is Huizhou, and then the Jianing Military Division!
The Song army was on all fronts, all threatening the important places of Western Xia on the Song-Xia border!
The sudden counterattack of the Song army caught Western Xia off guard!
Especially Hedong Road, which is too far away from Xingqing Mansion, Xixia has never thought that Xihe Road will send troops.
The most important place in Western Xia, except for Xingqing Mansion, was on the border of Song and Xia, and the Song army's all-round attack was almost unprecedented, which caught Western Xia off guard and became angry.
The little achievements of the famous Ahsan could not appease the anger of the Empress Dowager Liang in the slightest.
In the big tent of the Empress Dowager Liang.
The faces of the crowd were as heavy as water, and the atmosphere was as stiff as ice.
Pingxia City is still standing still.
"Tell Hongu how long it will take!" Empress Dowager Liang twisted her face, her voice was fierce, and her killing intent was undisguised.
He knelt on the ground and said nothing.
His army of 100,000 lost nearly 70,000!
Can't go on the offensive anymore!
In addition to the loss of troops, there is also food and grass to bottom!
Wei Ming buried nothing, and the others didn't dare to speak.
Under the anger of Empress Dowager Liang, anything can happen, who dares to talk nonsense?
