Chapter 1265: Fierce Battle

Standing on the hill beside the main road in the river valley, his eyes seemed to be about to penetrate the fog, until he saw the two castles that condensed the shame of his life hundreds of miles away.

Luowu City, Funing Fort.

That is the most critical place of Dunyan Road, and after occupying it, Dunyan Road completely closed the door to the Xia people, and its importance is just as important as Ningxia City is to Jingyuan Road.

More than ten years ago, he had already set his sights there, and once successfully surrendered Weiming Mountain, captured the city of Luowu, and built Funing Fort.

However, the subsequent military trend was diametrically opposed to Fu Guogong's management of Ningxia City, and Fu Guogong achieved absolute success, while he completely failed.

lost the teacher, lost the city, and fell into the management of a state.

No one understands themselves, and no one even sympathizes with them, and only gets an evaluation in the court - "If you plant five and don't die, you won't stop in trouble." ”

It was one of the darkest moments in his life, and he spent his days getting drunk, believing that he was so full of ambition and ambition that he never had a chance to show it again.

Even if the eldest brother comes to scold him and ask him to cheer up, he is like a dead fish.

Until I received the letter from Fu Guogong.

After learning of his failure, Fu Guogong deliberately wrote a long letter to himself, in which there were no words of comfort, but directly pointed out that Luowucheng was the key to the Yanyan Road, and it was the key to changing the offensive and defensive posture of the Song Xia Yanlu Road.

There is no doubt about this, Gorou, your grand strategic outlook is definitely the best among the generals of the Western Army!

Later, he analyzed the battle in detail, in addition to the military distance between the city and the base camp, the military strength available to the Yanyan Road was too empty, and the generals were too restrained by the civil ministers, there were many factors.

Political, economic, human, material, court, local......

There are also between generals and soldiers, between generals and generals, between civil ministers and civil ministers, between civil ministers and common people, between civil officials and military attachés, between the center and the locality, and between Han and Tibetan people......

Guogong collectively referred to these relationships as "contradictions", and listed the various contradictions of Yan Yanlu one by one, and also listed which were the main contradictions and which were the secondary contradictions.

Then tell yourself that the entire Yanyan Road is such a huge complex of contradictions, and it is impossible to succeed in sending troops through the city before many contradictions are resolved, in an attempt to build a castle in the air.

The world of logic described in the letter made me feel as if I had cleared the fog in front of me.

Everyone knows that they are decadent, but they don't know the reason for their decadence, so it is useless for anyone to persuade them before they untie this button.

Failure is not terrible, and not knowing why to fail is really terrible.

Fu Guogong's letter pointed to many problems along the way, so that Chong Ge knew why he failed.

Xu Xi is here, this person is extraordinary, generous and modest, and his familiarity with Yan Yanlu is not bad, but his vision and aura are not even comparable to Fu Guogong ten years ago.

However, he is no longer the young and vigorous seed five of the year, in order to realize his ideals and improve the relationship with Wenchen, he did not hesitate to echo Xu Xi and Shen Kuo, and played the "new version of the Yan Yan Raiders" with them.

He knew that he would definitely be rejected by Fu Guogong, but what was this loss of face compared to improving the relationship with the local transshipment department and the economic strategy department?

Guogong said that the main contradiction should be resolved first......

Sure enough, Fu Guogong was not polite at all, and he pulled it back after a few slaps, which made Xu Xi embarrassed and made the seed squirm very cool.

Xu Xi has now proposed a new plan to build Yongle City by the Wuding River.

The address of Yongle City almost overlaps with Luowu, and it is only one hill apart.

The only difference with the city is that there is no water source.

In order to show the imperial court that this was his own "initiative", Xu Xi did not hesitate to give up all the better conditions of the city of Luowu, and painstakingly "set up another mountain" near the city.

This article alone made Chong Ge even more contemptuous of Xu Xi, and compared with Fu Guogong's honesty, the conduct of the two was nothing less than a cloud of mud.

Gao Yongneng walked over: "Goro, Xia Ren has arrived." ”

"How many?"

"Yongheng comes to report, eighty thousand."

After a pause, he said: "Wulang is like a god, Liang Yongneng scouts can only release Wuli, although he is powerful, he is an arrogant soldier." ”

"We occupy the mountainous terrain and attack from the flanks, and we will win."

There was no expression on his face: "Inform the brothers, eat well tonight and go to bed early, the Xia people dare not act rashly in the fog, and tomorrow is the period of the great war." ”

Gao Yongneng hesitated for a moment: "The Xia people have iron harriers...... Do you want Sun Xie to come back? ”

Chong shook his head: "No, he has to tie the mouth of the bag firmly for me, there are vans, guns and shields, cranes and crossbows, it's enough." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the camp at the foot of the mountain: "Tell Guo Jingxiu that no matter how critical the Chinese army is tomorrow, he can't move, and he must wait until our Chinese army can carry the iron harrier before he can let the Xuanfeng battalion attack, otherwise no matter how much military merit he gets afterwards, I want his head!" ”

"Yes!"

There was no word for a night, and it was not until the fog gradually dissipated that the armies of the two sides were officially revealed in front of each other's eyes.

The Song army chose a very good place, it was a gourd-shaped battlefield, with the high ground on both sides in the middle of the outer road, and in front of it was a relatively open area in the river valley.

But the number is significantly smaller than that of the Xia people.

Liang Yongneng sat on a temporary high platform: "Demolish the camp and let them attack!" ”

The subordinate Privy Council was shocked according to the official Ma Maiden: "Governor, how can this be done?" ”

Liang Yongneng pointed at the Song Army's large array with his whip and sneered: "Who knows if there is a sky-shaking thunder buried in front?" Let them attack, let their chariots be useless! ”

Only then did Ma Nu Duoge react: "That's how it should be!" The Chinese army issued an order to demolish the camp! ”

Sure enough, after the camp was demolished, the two wings of the Song array, Gao Yongneng and Gao Yongheng led two cavalry armies to kill.

The Chinese army also sounded the drums, the swords and cards were in front, and the spears were behind, and then the three crossbowmen phalanx and the three infantry army phalanx began to move forward.

It was only when the army of the cultivators advanced halfway that Liang Yongneng waved his hand, and the front army in the Xia army array as a whole killed the Chinese army of the cultivators.

The two armies were a hundred paces apart, and the Song army's crane-shin crossbows began to shoot.

Two thousand crossbow arrows, like overwhelming locusts, penetrated into the camp of the Xia army at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The light shield and leather robe, the effectiveness of dealing with the crane shin crossbow was not very good, and the Xia army attacked the front of the troops, and hundreds of people fell in an instant.

However, a hundred steps to attack, three rounds against the enemy, even if the crane shin crossbow is used, it is only five rounds.

The Song army's crossbow array now also has the art of war, shooting in three stages, and you can reach nine arrows in a hundred steps.

In just a hundred paces, the Xia people lost more than 1,000 people, but this loss didn't matter to Liang Yongneng, the main force of the Xia people's strikers fought with the former army in a blink of an eye.

A fierce battle began.

He sat on the high platform and explained two sentences to the drummer beside him, and the drum beat suddenly changed, and the military formation of the Song army in front of him began to shrink and become gradually denser.

"Kill!" Countless spears stabbed out from under the cover of the sword and shield hands, taking the lives of a wave of Xia people.

However, the Xia people were also brave, and many Xia soldiers who dared to die shouted and swung their spears with their war hammers and axes, and then swung their weapons into the gaps between their opponents' shields.

In the blink of an eye, the Song army also began to suffer casualties.

The Xia people were too numerous, the front army alone was 20,000, and they adopted the traditional method of warfare, that is, the cavalry was divided into several teams, and they took turns to attack the Song army's infantry formation until the infantry formation collapsed, and then began to cover the killing.

However, Liang Yongneng's former army was not a full cavalry, and the national strength of Western Xia has undergone some changes compared with real history.

There is no doubt about the bravery of the Xia people, and when he saw that his front army was unfavorable, he waved his hand, and the drum beat changed its rhythm again.

The Song army's infantry army was finally pushed through some gaps by the Xia army, who was not afraid of death.

However, at this moment, Gao Yongneng and Gao Yongheng's left and right light horses had already been killed.

The commander of the Xia people's front army had been paying close attention to these two light cavalry, and immediately gave in to the infantry army to continue to attack the front of the Song army, and dispatched several cavalry troops to meet the left and right.

The horse's hooves staggered across the autumn valley grassland, the dull sound of hooves, the majestic shouts, the sonorous sound of weapons crashing, the screams of injuries and falling to the ground, instantly mixed together!
