Chapter 0669 - Tempting the East and the West, Calculating Together
Cui Liang was frightened and incontinent, and there was a big wet pool underground.
Liu Heng didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, "Drag it down, first lock it up in a house where you can't see your fingers, lock it up for three days, gag your mouth, tie your hands, don't let him commit suicide." He committed suicide, and what do I do to pay tribute to my dead brothers? ”
"Understood, young master!"
Liu Fubu agreed, and left the iron smelting business with Cui Liang in tow.
After Liu Heng left the trilogy, he crossed his horse and went to the barracks.
In the barracks.
Gao Chugong has already helped Liu Heng do all the preliminary work.
After Liu Heng arrived at the barracks, he led the soldiers and horses out of the camp gate.
Before leaving.
Gao Jun Gong stopped Liu Heng and said hesitantly: "Kou Ji's kid didn't have many firearms, almost ninety percent of them were used in Qu Yechuan, and now there are not many left, are you sure you want to bring them all?" ”
After a pause, Gao Chugong continued: "Since Kou Ji has decided to conquer Western Xia, there will be battles in the future. It is better to save some firearms, and when they are used up at one time, when they need to be used later, what can they do if they are gone? ”
Liu Heng straddled the horse, glanced at Gao Zhigong, and said lightly: "The fourth brother has sent someone back to pass the order, ordering the people in the instrument workshop to transport all the firearms in the instrument workshop to the northwest.
The fourth brother also secretly sent a letter to some masters in the instrument workshop, asking them to bring tools to the northwest.
There is a huge amount of iron stored in the iron smelting business, and the firearms will not be more or less in the future. ”
Gao Jun pouted and said, "If firearms were really so easy to make, Kou Ji would have already equipped all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court with firearms. ”
Liu Heng said lightly: "It is indeed not easy to build muskets and artillery. But flying mines, invincible mine cannons, and grenades are still very easy to build. The fourth brother said that as long as there are enough people to make things, he will build as much as we want. ”
Hearing this, his pupils shrank, and he exclaimed, "Good fellow...... Kou Ji can't do it?! ”
Gao Zu Gong felt that the cost of firearms was definitely not low.
So far, most of the firearms used by Kou Ji in the northwest have been provided by him privately, and they have not cost the imperial court's money.
Kou Ji fought a battle, and tens of thousands of family fortunes, even hundreds of thousands of family fortunes, were thrown out like that.
Even if Kou Ji can make money again, he can't afford to toss like this.
Liu Heng glanced at Gao Chugong and said lightly: "My fourth brother doesn't care, what do you care?" ”
Gao Ji Gong grinned and said, "If Kou Ji is not distressed, then I naturally have no opinion." Since Kou Ji is willing to spend his blood, then we will have to reap the credit for our work in the northwest. ”
The firearms provided by Ko Ji were personally used by Koji and knew the power of those firearms.
If Kou Ji opened up to provide him with it, then even if it was the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's line, he would dare to break through.
With the firearms provided by Kou Ji, it will be much easier for him to make credit in the northwest, and it will be much easier for the Gao family to rise again.
Gao Zuo Gong thought of the merit and shouted excitedly: "Sons, the time has come to make a contribution!" ”
When the soldiers of the Hengshan Army heard this, they looked at Gao Ji Gong in a daze.
Liu Heng snorted coldly, "Don't get carried away, I am the chief general of the Hengshan Army." ”
Takachi smiled awkwardly.
Liu Heng stared at Gao Chugong and said in a deep voice: "I know your thoughts, you want to make meritorious contributions, and you want to restore the former glory of your Gao family through military exploits." Even if my knighthood were to go any further, it wouldn't mean much.
So I can give you the credit for fighting against Western Xia this time.
The premise is that you must do everything in your power to help me deal with Western Xia.
If you can help me cut off Li Deming's head with my own hands.
All my credit can be given to you. ”
Gao Ji Gong was shocked and said, "Is this true? ”
Liu Heng nodded heavily.
Gao Jun was stunned and said, "Don't you want to be promoted to a first-class duke?" ”
Liu Heng gritted his teeth and said, "I just want to take off Li Deming's head and make up for my mistake of having no eyes." ”
Gao Kai opened his mouth, wanting to scold a fool.
First-class male, that's first-class male.
There is only one first-class duke alive in the court, and that is Kou Zhun.
After the death of the first-class duke, he will inevitably be crowned with a prince.
The descendants of the descendants will inherit the first class, and they will still be dukes.
For the sake of that humble brotherhood, can you give up the opportunity to fight for the first class?
Aren't you a fool?
Gao Zugong was full of emotion in his heart, but he didn't scold.
Because Liu Heng is so generous, it is difficult for him to refuse.
"Good! The old man promises you! ”
Liu Heng saw that Gao Di Gong agreed, so he asked, "How should Xiazhou fight?" ”
Gao Gong muttered: "The strength of the Western Xia Left Wing Divine Warrior Division in Xiazhou is comparable to ours, and if we attack strongly, our losses will definitely be great." If the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division come to help, I am afraid that we will lose more soldiers and horses.
So I suggest that we divide our troops into two ways.
All the way to the feint attack on the left wing of the Western Xia Divine Brave Military Division, all the way to the Jianing Military Division's soldiers and horses must pass through the ambush.
Once the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division go to the aid of the Shenyong Military Division of the left wing of Western Xia, then we will be able to take advantage of the geographical advantage and destroy the Jianing Military Division at the lowest cost. ”
Liu Heng's brows furrowed slowly, and he looked at Gao Chugong suspiciously.
Gao Chu Gong seemed to know the doubts in Liu Heng's heart, "I know what you are wondering, are you thinking, the order Kou Ji gave you was to attack Xiazhou, why did we ambush the people of the Jianing Military Division?" ”
Liu Heng did not hide it and nodded slowly.
Gao Chu Gong analyzed: "Now in the territory of Western Xia south of Baichi City and Dijinze, there are only two heavy troops, the Jianing Military Division and the Western Xia Left Wing Shenyong Military Division. The rest of the defenders, to be called stragglers, are not an exaggeration, and to us there is nothing to fear.
As long as we set up a game to ambush the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division, we will annihilate them all.
Then the Divine Warrior Division of the Left Wing of the Western Xia will become a lone army on the territory of the Western Xia south of Dijinze.
Even if they are strong, they will panic in the face of our strong pressure.
If the Tiemen Pass Tuanlian could capture Baichi City at this time, then the soldiers and horses of the Divine Warrior Division of the Left Wing of the Western Xia would definitely fall into a panic.
It is very likely that they will withdraw from Xiazhou, cross the land of Jinze, and return to Xingqing Mansion.
If you just want to take Xiazhou, then we can just let the soldiers and horses of the Divine Brave Army Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia pass through the ground at that time.
If you want to annihilate them completely, then we can still take the lead in arranging outside the ground and killing them on their backs. ”
Liu Heng listened to Gao Chugong's analysis and secretly admired.
Although Gao Chugong has a very poor character, he really has something in his stomach.
If it's according to the plan of the high place.
Most of the time of his soldiers and horses is waiting for work.
Sending soldiers and horses to feint to attack Xiazhou, as long as the momentum is bigger, the Western Xia soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division will definitely gallop to Xiazhou.
Because they are located in Jianing, the geographical location is even worse than that of Xiazhou.
Once Xiazhou is lost, the soldiers and horses of the Shenyong Army Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia can still escape with the help of Di Jinze.
But after the loss of Xiazhou, Jianing will be completely surrounded by the Song army, and it will be completely reduced to the meat of the Song army, and there will be no retreat or advance.
Therefore, once Xiazhou is in danger of being lost, the Western Xia soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division will definitely rush to help.
Even if the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division could not help the soldiers and horses of the Western Xia Left Wing Divine Brave Military Division in Xiazhou to repel the Song army, they would retreat into Dijinze with them.
Therefore, Gao Zhigong's calculations will inevitably lead to the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division.
As long as the soldiers and horses in ambush are appropriate, they will definitely hit the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division.
There are no soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division.
The soldiers and horses of the Divine Brave Army Division in the left wing of Western Xia will be reduced to a lone army.
Whether it is according to what Gao Chu Gong said, ambush in Dijinze, or wait for the part of the Hengshan army in Baichi City to come back and conquer Xiazhou together.
Liu Heng thought about it carefully, and after confirming that Gao Chugong's plan was feasible, he asked Gao Chugong.
"Who will ambush, who will attack Xiazhou City?"
Gao Di said proudly: "Naturally, I went to fight Xiazhou City, and you went to ambush." ”
Liu Heng stared at the high place and was silent.
Gao Jun pouted and said, "I only need 5,000 people to make a movement of 50,000 soldiers and horses, can you?" ”
Liu Heng snorted coldly, "With the help of artillery and flying thunder, I can too." ”
Gao Zugong's mind was exposed, and he said without blushing and without a heartbeat: "Since you know that I need firearms, then give me all firearms." ”
Liu Heng said very happily: "Give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, and all the firearms will be given to you." ”
Gao Chu Gong said with some surprise: "So happy? ”
Liu Heng said lightly: "The fourth brother's military order is that if I can't take Xiazhou, I will be dismissed, and eighty percent will be demoted." The reward and deprivation of the title are the power of the official family, so the fourth brother did not mention the title when he issued the military order.
But with the relationship between the fourth brother and the official family, if he hands over the dismissal documents, the official family will definitely follow the demote.
If you can't finish your errand, then the new uncle of your Gao Mansion will probably have to be demoted together. ”
Gao Di Gong heard this, and he was not panicked at all, he glanced at Liu Heng and said: "Although I am not as wise and martial as my father, but since I joined the ranks, I have experienced countless wars, large and small.
If I can't help even a small Xiazhou, then I have lived in vain for all these years.
As long as the Western Xia army does not come out, the Western Xia will not be able to stop my high enemy. ”
After saying this, Gao Chugong said very stiffly: "Give me five thousand soldiers and horses, and I will rush to Xiazhou City immediately to build momentum for you." ”
It can be seen that Gao Chu Gong is full of confidence in feints to attack Xiazhou City.
When Liu Heng heard this, he was not ambiguous, and immediately ordered 5,000 elite soldiers and gave them to Gao Chugong.
Gao Jun led 5,000 elite soldiers, escorted firearms, and rushed to Xiazhou City with great momentum.
Liu Heng led the other soldiers and followed behind Gao Gong.
The two arrived thirty miles outside Xiazhou City and parted ways.
Liu Heng picked and chose on the map, and finally chose the three-way ambush.
The three-way pass is the main road that the Western Xia soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division must pass through to rush to Xiazhou.
Near the three forks, there are mountains and rivers, the terrain is undulating, and there are many trees, which greatly restricts the march of the Western Xia cavalry of the Jianing Military Division.
Liu Heng alone relied on the terrain advantage to reduce the power of the Western Xia cavalry of the Jianing Military Division by thirty percent.
Most of the soldiers and horses he is leading now are from the Zhejia Army, and it goes without saying that the combat effectiveness is naturally necessary.
With mental calculation or unintentional, he will inevitably be able to defeat the Western Xia soldiers and horses of the Jianing Military Division.
Liu Heng led the army to the three forks.
Gao Zuo Gong led people to attack Xiazhou City.
The place where the two broke up was only thirty miles away from Xiazhou City.
Gao Zhai Gong led 5,000 soldiers and horses, but walked for two days.
Not because of the heavy baggage they carry, but because Takachi Gong is pinching the time to march.
When he led his soldiers and horses to approach Xiazhou City, it was already evening.
Because the city of Xiazhou has now become the border between the territory of Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, it has been reduced to a border.
So after evening, there was no one left in the field.
Even if someone saw Gao Ji Gong leading a large group of people to appear, they would flee in fright, and they didn't have the heart to count the number of soldiers and horses led by Gao Chu Gong.
The closer Gao Gong got to Xiazhou City, the later it was getting dark.
Gao Di Gong pinched the time and rushed to Xiazhou City at night, just to hide the number of his soldiers and horses.
On the way to the march, he encountered several waves of horses from the Western Xia Left Wing Divine Warrior Division in Xiazhou City.
It's just that most of those probes were solved by them.
Occasionally, one or two saw them fleeing, but it was too far away to see their number.
After Gao Chugong led the army to Xiazhou City, Xiazhou City had already received the news that the Song army was coming.
It's just that the Song army came to attack at night, and the number of the Song army was not clear, so the guards of Xiazhou City had to gather all the soldiers and horses and climb the city wall to defend the city.
Under the waiting of the soldiers and horses of the Western Xia Left Wing Divine Warrior Army in Xiazhou City.
Gao Chu Gong appeared outside Xiazhou City with people.
The nerves of the Western Xia soldiers and horses on the walls of Xiazhou City suddenly tensed.
Gao Zuo Gong was not in a hurry to attack Xiazhou City.
Instead, he ordered his soldiers to bury the pot and cook.
Gao Ji Gong took the soldiers to finish eating, and also told the soldiers to rest.
The soldiers and horses of the Shenyong Army Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia in Xiazhou City were also relieved to see that the Song army had no intention of attacking Xiazhou City.
The Western Xia general, who was defending the city, ordered people to keep an eye on the movements of the Song army outside the city, and he took some of his soldiers down to rest.
Not long after the Western Xia soldiers left the city, they had just returned to the military camp under the city, put down the blades in their hands, and a deafening explosion sounded.
The shouts rang out with the sound of explosions and spread throughout the city of Xiazhou.
The defenders of Xiazhou City, the soldiers and horses of the Divine Warrior Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia, all ran to the city.
Then I saw that the Song army outside the city was setting fire weapons in the camp where they were stationed, and they were shouting loudly.
The defenders of Xiazhou City instantly understood the tactics used by the Song army outside the city.
Exhausting tactics.
When the Song army outside the city will attack the city, no one knows.
As long as the Song army outside the city made any big noise, everyone in Xiazhou City couldn't sleep.
The Song army seems to have a large number of soldiers and horses, and they are not afraid of the sneak attack of the soldiers and horses of the Shenyong Military Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia in Xiazhou City, so they can toss everyone in Xiazhou City recklessly.
And everyone in Xiazhou City has to bear it.
Because none of them knew whether the next move of the Song army would be a real siege.
Gao Ji Gong tossed the Western Xia soldiers and horses in Xiazhou City three or five times in one night, and the Western Xia soldiers and horses in Xiazhou City were nervous all night.
Until the time of the fourth watch.
Gao Di Gong woke up the soldiers who had slept with their ears plugged all night, and rushed towards Xiazhou City, showing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
