Chapter 1275 West Road

"For example, the river was repeated back then, isn't it this ......" After speaking, he pointed at Zhao Sizhong: "I was bewitched by the Xixia people......"

Then he pointed to Ali Bone: "Ask for help." ”

"You thought it was profitable, so you sent this ......" After speaking, he pointed to Qingyi and the ghost chapter: "Lead the soldiers and horses into the river to help?" ”

"As a result, the ghost chapter saw that he couldn't do anything halfway, left Sizhong and fled back to Qingtang, resulting in Sizhong being captured, and finally surrendering to Song, right?"

Zhao Sizhong hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "The minister is a blessing in disguise, His Majesty the Emperor is not reckless and rebellious with Sizhong, and he is really ashamed to be an official." ”

Li Xian said: "Your Majesty sent Li Xian all the way this time, and what Li Xian wants is victory." ”

"Therefore, everyone still has to let go of the previous grievances. Man, always look forward. ”

"In this war, the official family has given a lot of rewards, and it is a rare opportunity for you, at least the equipment of the sergeants and the equipment of the horses can be replaced once."

"But we still have to take into account the balance of forces, the big radish on the land of Qingtang is Sizhong, Bao Shun, and the three county princes, and the little prince and Wen Xixin are also counted together."

"Sizhong and Bao Shun each gathered 30,000, the little prince and Lao Wen 15,000, I mean, on the county prince's side, 30,000 to 40,000 is about the same, what do you say?"

Ali Gu went through the number of the three parties in his heart, and thought that this distribution was actually reasonable, and the force of the warlords in Qingtang had been improved in a balanced manner, and everyone would not suffer.

Li Xian said: "This conscription is a little different from the past, because we provide food and military supplies, so for each hundred-man team, we must send a military policeman, who is responsible for conveying military orders, supervising the implementation, receiving and distributing materials, pacifying and motivating morale, and affirming military discipline. ”

"They've all accepted it, they've got the overall outfit, and now it's all the way to Jungong."

After speaking, he sighed: "Your Majesty has urged for the third time not to enter the army, I am afraid that Li Xian's head will not be guaranteed." I can only wait for you for three days at most, and if you don't accept it after three days, then I will have to send troops alone. ”

Ali Gu is also a decisive person: "Then choose soldiers!" We sent 40,000 people, Ah Gong and Jie Ghost Zhang each brought 20,000 and went out with the captain! ”

"Good! The team practice is really refreshing! ”

……

In late August of the fourth year of Yuanfeng, the Xihe army was finally assembled, and under the leadership of Li Xian, Yu Zang Huama directly surrendered to Cheng, turned around and became the leading party, and led the army to surround the Western Xia West Envoy City.

Liang Yibury sent more than 20,000 horsemen to relieve the siege and meet the Xihe army.

The Western Xia cavalry was very powerful, and occupied favorable terrain, so Li Xian dispatched a new army to participate in the reinforcements, and after only half a day of fighting, the Xia army began to be overwhelmed.

Li Xian ordered the former adjutant general Miao Xiang to counterattack and lead the cavalry of the Song army to launch a counterattack against the Xia army, but the Xia army could not engage in the battle and fled one after another.

In this battle, the Song army captured three leaders, beheaded more than 20 generals, beheaded more than 2,000 ranks, and obtained 500 horses.

The reinforcements were cut off, and the Western Envoy City Guard, the deputy general Luo Pan and others also gave up resistance and led more than 10,000 troops to surrender, and Li Xian easily captured the Western Envoy City.

Liang Yibury sent tens of thousands of troops to rescue the Western Envoy City, and when he arrived, he learned that the city had been lost, so he retired to Baohe Valley City.

The terrain in front of the Niche Valley was dangerous, and Li Xian first attacked the Xia army stationed in the valley.

The Xia army occupied the favorable terrain with the mountain stream at its back, and fought against the Song army.

After a day of fighting, the Song army was unfavorable, and Li Xian had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

However, that night, Li Xian personally led the Hoard Army with Su Lie, secretly passed through the long-decayed plank road, touched the side of the Xia army's camp, and launched a night battle.

Xia Jun didn't expect that Song Jun would be able to touch the moat overnight, and when the night charm blue clothes appeared in front of him like a ghost and god descending from the sky, Xia Jun didn't even have the courage to fight, and they scattered and fled, and the Hoard An army took Rusha Valley lightly.

Tianming counted more than 600 corpses and 1,000 captured war horses that the Xia people had no time to take away.

As soon as the valley is lost, the valley of the niche becomes a turtle in the urn.

Li Xian set up a thunderbolt cannon on a high place, and as soon as the cannon sounded, Duqiao Ah Gong and Qing Yi Jiegui Zhang led the troops and horses of the headquarters to kill, although the Xia people resisted to the death, but the Niche Valley City was still taken in just one day.

At this point in the battle, Granny Li wiped out a total of 30,000 Xia troops, and also seized a large number of weapons and food.

The Shrine Valley City preserved a large number of materials of the Xia people, known as the "Imperial Village", and the things that Jialiang transported here from the Western Regions were just in time for the war, so they were all intercepted by Li Xian.

It just so happened that the six roads were conveyed by Zhao Ji's two edicts arrived: "Xihe Road Li Xian and others in August Xin Wei and Dong Yu will attack the Xia thieves, and the Yuan Yan Road Division is still at the beginning of late September. ”

"If the thieves are stopped, they can't drive for a long time, that is, they will choose to control the convenience, and set up a camp in the place where they are fed, so as to serve the road division, and the beginning and the end will be corresponding."

He also edicted, "Today's move, different from the enemy, a hundred years of a country, not even a trivial matter, not up and down the effort, the soldiers work together, to help each other?" ”

"We must not hesitate to reward them, encourage the spirit of the three armies, and let them destroy the enemy. If you can win the first battle, then the rest will be solved. ”

"And don't be stingy with gold silk, carry the soldiers, and have it to stimulate the morale, you can do it cheaply, the court only destroys the thief, and the others have no love."

So Li Xian garrisoned for three days, ordered the newly returned Yuzang Huama, Ba Lingyu and other three tribes to attack the neighboring city of Saqizong, and ordered Zhao Sizhong, Bao Shun, Qingyi to tie the ghost chapter, and Duqiao Agong led the soldiers to sweep Hezhou to the outlying areas of Lanzhou, and each was rewarded for his merits.

The enthusiasm of the Tibetan people was unprecedentedly high, and the new departments of Shun fought bravely in order to show their loyalty, and Dongguan, the last fortress in front of Lanzhou, was conquered in the near future.

It was not until three days later that Li Xian's army arrived at Dongguan and found that Lanzhou had become an empty city.

It turned out that the Xia people who were defending the city saw that they could not do anything, so they gave up Lanzhou and retreated to Mingsha City.

The importance of Lanzhou's topography is undoubted, not to mention that it can control a large number of new areas, but also communicate with the Xihe River, surround the Qingtang Dynasty, and cut off the Western Regions.

So Li Xian asked for the construction of Lanzhou City, and set up the Marshal Mansion of the Metropolitan Economic System in the city, the commander-in-chief of Xihe and Qinfeng, as well as the Fan Department of Lanzhou and Huizhou.

Su You couldn't help but be overjoyed when he got the news of Li Xian's capture of Lanzhou, and in his grand strategy, the strategy of cutting off the left and right arms of Western Xia was first realized in Lanzhou.

So he made a song "Wen Guanjun Receives Lanzhou as a Gift to Li Taiwei" and sent it to Li Xian.

Of course, this is also related to the non-resistance strategy implemented by Jialiang's cadres, Jialiang's son Jia Guodong moved his tribe and large army west to Liangzhou on the grounds that his father was not in the garrison and could not shake the Song army's sharpness, so that Li Xian could seize Lanzhou with a relaxed attitude, and turned the Xiping Military Division and the Gansu Military Division in Western Xia into an enclave isolated by the Song army.

This is like a signal, Empress Dowager Liang heard that Lanzhou had been captured by Li Xian, and immediately ordered all tribes to abandon the city, fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, and gather towards Xingqing and Lingzhou with supplies.

However, the population of materials in the middle road was too much, so after the Empress Dowager Liang was shocked to hear that Liang Yongneng was trapped, she immediately ordered Liang Yiburi, the minister of state, to personally lead 70,000 troops to fill the gap left by Liang Yongneng in the middle road.

However, the most worrying army of the Great Song Dynasty has not been triggered, Liang Yongneng led the army to arrive at the Baotai Military Division, even if the Great Song Dynasty East and West Road armies won their own victories, but they were stunned that they were so restrained by the middle road that they did not dare to send a rescuer, for fear of falling into Su You's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

And Su You is in Ningxia City, and the old god has always been there.

He had a very clear understanding of the military situation in Song and Xia.

Today, the new army of the Great Song Dynasty is similar to the military strength of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which invaded China in later generations, except that it is not equipped with machine guns.

The manpower is about the same, about 50,000.

However, the fact that the Eight-Nation Coalition can fight from Tianjin to Beijing does not mean that Su You can also play according to that style of play.
