Chapter 596: Zombie Siege: Monstrous Waves
Qingyi, who was stationed in Xiliang Mansion and planned to spend the winter, formed a ghost chapter, and after receiving the news, his heart set off a monstrous wave! It's really panicked to the point where it is almost impossible to hide.
But no matter what, you have to keep your composure on the face and give others more confidence so that you can hold Xiliang Mansion as much as possible.
Before this, Qingyi Ghost Chapter never thought that the Xixia people would choose this season to attack Xiliang Mansion. I heard that the army of the Hubei Province had entered Xining Prefecture, and Qingyi thought that he was stationed in Xiliang Mansion, so a satellite situation echoing each other between the north and the south was formed.
According to reason, the Tangut people should choose to temporarily suspend their troops and deploy after surviving the winter.
It's a pity that no matter what the decision of the Western Xia army is based on, in fact, now Qingyi Ghost Chapter can no longer have other thoughts: they have already arrived in the city, and Xiliang Mansion is in an emergency.
Only then did Qingyi realize that all the arrangements made from the beginning were wrong. In the end, he fell into the trap of the Tanguts.
Military theory, like geometric theory, determines a straight line at two points. The lonely city at any time cannot be defended. In addition to the erroneous application of cavalry power at the beginning, Qingyi Ghost Chapter is also devouring its own bitter fruit.
Xining Prefecture and Xiliangfu do echo on the north-south line, but the distance is too far, the battle line is too long, there is not enough cavalry and the weather is cold, and it is theoretically impossible to save Xiliangfu with the characteristics of defensive and counterattack tactics, because it is not reachable.
Even if Chong'e is willing to take the risk to rescue, by the time they come, I'm afraid that Xiliangfu has already fallen, and at that time, not only will the Chong'e be tired, but the infantry without a base will be lost in the cold wilderness, and they will face the crazy harvest of the Xixia cavalry.
So Qingyi Jiegui came to the conclusion: Planting is not stupid, and there will be no reinforcements. It was my Qingyi Ghost Chapter who made a fool of the mistake of deploying the good end into a formed cavalry several times.
The biggest mistake was: turning the 10,000 cavalry into the defensive infantry of Xiliang Mansion, which could not be defended, and scrapping the mobility.
This is unforgivable.
The reason for this: the initial reliance thinking was too serious, and he was always reluctant to let go of Xiliangfu, which was not suitable for defense and profitable, and always wanted to coordinate the defense of the north and south lines to survive the winter first and support the comprehensive reinforcement of the Great Song Dynasty.
But now there is no support, and there is no food left in the families of the big landlords.
Since the start of the Qingtang War, there have been two confrontations, nearly 80 field battalions deployed by the Song State in Qingtang have been defeated, and at the same time, the two sides of the Song-Liao front have a total of 600,000 soldiers, and a full-scale war between the superpowers is about to break out.
There will be no endless use of resources in any war. Especially now, assuming that as soon as the two superpowers go to war, the Song State will shrink its strategy and withdraw the Hubei Corps to support the Northeast Front. At that time, Qingtang was really finished.
The only good news is that the Great Demon King has made a comeback again, and he has been ordered to control the overall strategy of the Great Song Dynasty.
The return of the god of war is the only light in this endless war. No one knows what kind of deployment the Divine Machine will be in the future.
But it must not be fast, referring to the last Qingtang War, Qingtang also paid too much price, many times relying on the letter of the Great Demon King to appease, with blood and tears to support him to officially lead the volunteer army into the Huangzhou area.
Even such a great demon king took several months, several intersperses, and several victories, and it was not until after the victory of Zongcheng that the strategic turning point was officially opened.
Only at the critical moment when you make a mistake and face a crisis, can you discover the greatness of the Great Demon King. He always said: no matter how good the body is, it will be sick, and once it is sick, there will be a course of disease, no matter how good the immunity is, no matter how delicious the soup is, it will not work if you don't finish the course of the disease.
Now, Qingyi has realized that the real mistake this time lies in the fact that the ideology is serious and the idea of self-reliance is insufficient.
In fact, Qingyi Jieguizhang is not stupid, even if he never thought that the Xixia general Zhuoer would be the commander of Xishou Junji at this time, but Qingyi Jieguizhang had spent a lot of energy to deploy the Xiliangfu defensive offensive as early as January ago, and made various preparations for the harsh winter.
But at that time, this place was already very cold, and the temperature in the wild reached a terrifying level, which not only greatly affected the efficiency of the horse team, but also brought countless complaints.
Qingyi has done his best to pull a lot of hatred. But after more than a month of rushing work, less than 20,000 people were mobilized to participate in the service, and those unarmed and unprotected party members could be asked to work for the Qiang people in the dead of winter without protection, in addition to efficiency and complaints, it also cost 6,000 people under Qingyi Jiejie Zhang to supervise their work.
In fact, there have been subordinates who have suggested before this: the main thing is to gather people's hearts at this moment, and excessive conquest will lead to a lack of speed.
But the Qingyi ghost chapter was not adopted, and he insisted on going his own way.
Up to now, the Western Xia army has come to the city under the leadership of Zhuoer, and the defensive offensive and preparations that were tried to build in the early days have been a mess, and it has also caused the resentment of the originally hostile Xiliang Party members!
Only at such a moment of crisis can Qingyi Ghost Chapter understand the power of the Great Demon King.
The theory of the Divine Crane is simple from beginning to end, and can be used for both military and civilian purposes.
As early as the early days of Xiliang Mansion, although the governance was handed over to the Qingtang people, the Great Demon King emphasized more than once at that time: If you want a place to have long-term peace and stability, and if you want a place to have combat effectiveness, you can't be separated from the masses and can't be a lord. These two points are the root of all evil, and once they are opened, there will always be a price.
At that time, Wang Yan, who won the Qingtang War, had an unsurpassed prestige, and everyone listened obediently, and forced the Gang regime to shoot a Qingtang officer who injured a woman in Xiliang Mansion.
It's a pity that people go to tea and cool, since the big demon king left Qingtang, the Qingtang cavalry was stationed here to do power. Although there is the policy pressure of the Song State and the dominance of the Buddhist thinking, it will not be killed, robbed", but in fact, everyone is in a clear mood, the atmosphere has not been right, and the military and the people have not been getting along.
Think back then, even if it was a hostile nation. After the Great Demon King arrived in Xiliang Mansion, various propaganda methods, sending Song military doctors to treat bruises and injuries to the people of Xiliang Mansion, shooting traitorous officers, and other measures. It was a strong wind sweeping away the leaves, and it quickly won the trust of the people of Xiliang Province.
Help them farm, teach them effective means of livelihood, and develop productive thinking.
In any case, the Divine Crane laid a very good foundation in this place, and it was thriving at that time.
However, the loser is always very fast, and to this day, the foundation of the god machine was destroyed in a mess, because it was separated from the "masses". When the Qingyi Ghost Chapter needed to be employed, Xiliang Mansion, with a population of more than 300,000 people, only recruited less than 20,000 people under the coercive policy, and had to use 6,000 cavalry to supervise them, and the efficiency was still low.
Qingyi Ghost Chapter wants to cry very much, people are really different compared to people, but they are different. Now it's too late to regret it, maybe if you don't pull hatred, don't conquer those people, and put your own army into your own construction, I'm afraid the effect will be much better than now. This also seems to be called self-reliance?
Now, in addition to the lack of offensive and preparation, the people's will in Xiliang Mansion is becoming more and more unstable, and the anti-official government's "leading the way" sentiment has become quite serious. In short, the Qingtang people have been regarded as enemies by them, and the Western Xia army under the outside soldiers is the "liberation king" in their eyes.
Just wait for the situation to change slightly, and come out to mix, you have to pay back, and such a Xiliang Mansion will not be able to hold even if it increases its military strength by five times. Because once the Western Xia army began to attack the city, most of the 200,000 people in the city would be wall-riding factions, but at least tens of thousands of people would be the leading party and open the city gate to welcome the king.
Things happen for a reason.
The rotten and corrupt old man's mentality has lost the foundation of the Great Demon King. Now Qingyi knotted the ghost chapter and understood: from the moment the Qingtang cavalry occupied Xiliang Mansion, although Zhuo Luolan withdrew from the battlefield, the confrontation between Qingtang and her has always existed, she has been working hard to promote in Xiliang Mansion, and the Qingtang regime has been squandering its credibility.
"General, what should I do now?" A subordinate asked.
Qingyi Ghost Chapter sighed and muttered, "The God of War can't save us when he comes again." Shenjiyan is a great politician, and after the foundation we laid for him over the years has been lost, no one can defend such a Xiliang Mansion. And the fall will be faster than imagined. Surrender is not possible, so after we fight to the death, we will achieve the prestige of the new generation of generals Zhuoer, make him the backbone of the new generation of military in Western Xia, twist the Western Xia army into an iron plate, and at the same time will make things worse for the Great Song Dynasty and increase the difficulty of the deployment of Shenji Yan in the future. ”
"But this is the price that must be paid after being willful, and it must be repaid when you come out to mix, Shen Jiyan said it three years ago, but unfortunately we don't understand it until now. There is no point in admitting mistakes, and now that Zhuo Luolan's ten-sided ambush deployment has been completed, and dying in Xiliang Mansion in battle is our fate and ending. ”
Qingyi Ghost Chapter seems to have changed into the appearance of a wise man, but unfortunately he also knows that he is dying......
"The Song Concession and the Nagasaki Port are lost!"
"Xiliang Mansion, an important town in the northwest and a controlled area of Qingtang, has fallen! The Qingyi Ghost Chapter was completely annihilated, and the Qingyi Ghost Chapter was killed in battle! ”
The situation is getting worse and worse, and these are the two worst pieces of news the Great Demon King has received since he accepted power.
Unable to command in a timely and effective manner, Xiliang Mansion fell one day after the siege began, with a speed that no one could have predicted. The 10,000 Qingtang soldiers stationed in Xiliang Mansion were completely annihilated under internal and external attacks, and all the military rations and war horses fell into the hands of the Western Xia army.
At the same time, the Koreans have also stud to follow the cards and make a real gamble. By the end of February, Goryeo had recruited all civilian ships to transport troops, and at its most spectacular time, more than 60 ships were transporting troops in the Korean Strait, allowing the Goryeo army to land on the island of Kyushu and start a war against Japan.
The only gasoline-engined frigate in the Great Song Navy that could not sail far away was impossible to restrain the military export of the Koreans to Japan's Kyushu Island.
So far, the world has been shocked!
There was an accident in Xiliangfu, an important town in the northwest, and Qingtang's own "immunity" was abolished, which was equivalent to forever trapping the troops of the Great Song Dynasty that had been invested in Qingtang, and there was no room for manoeuvre! On the contrary, it is necessary to consider increasing the military investment in Qingtang, otherwise after the overall fall of Qingtang, it is likely that the northwest administrative region of the Great Song Dynasty will be attacked.
In addition, it was officially announced that the port of Nagasaki in the Song Concession had been captured by the Goryeo army!
The Goryeo navy took advantage of the geographical advantage, crossed the Korean Strait from a relatively short distance, and landed 5,000 soldiers in Nagasaki in the first phase.
Like a sudden sharp knife, it cut into the backyard of Da Song and today.
Some of the equipment and construction scale invested by the Song Kingdom in Nagasaki were destroyed, and the rest had fallen into the hands of the Koreans.
In terms of the size of the Song Kingdom today, the loss of Dengzhou Port and Nagasaki Port is not a fatal wound, and it can be withheld.
But what worries Wang Yan is that these bad signals are confirmed step by step, which means that the conditions for Liao to participate in the war are being achieved, so the millions of clusters of Liao are pressing the border, and I am afraid that it is just around the corner!
