Chapter 901: The first battle is frustrated!
Song Wensong Yincheng blood sacrifice, after the ceremony, he led the army Hao Hao Tang Tang from Yincheng, went straight to the state, the army is about more than 100 miles away, he let the army camp, and then sent the strategist to the state road:
"You went to Bingzhou to see Cao Weiming, and clearly told him that I personally led the army to come, the purpose is to enter the Central Plains, so that Cao Weiming can prepare well, especially to complete 50,000 stone grain and grass, so that I will form an alliance with him and help him recover the land of Hebei!"
Song Wensong told his envoy that his posture can be said to be quite high, and in the current situation, he thinks that he has the capital of pride, because for Cao Weiming in the Central Plains and Tan Lei in the capital, his arrival is the savior.
Therefore, Song Wensong asked them for grain and grass with peace of mind, and he was not worried that Cao Weiming and others would bargain with him, in the current situation, they did not have the capital to bargain.
After the camp was set up, Song Wensong feasted the guests, this time Di Qinghai couldn't help but go over to advise, and said: "Lord Wang, the major affairs of the country of soldiers, now that the state is close at hand, the prince should first live in the state, and then negotiate with Cao Weiming and others, so that it is safe."
The prince now lives in the wilderness, in case there is a change in the state, he may not be able to rescue, once the state is in trouble, it will be a great disadvantage to us! ”
Song Wensong looked at Di Qinghai, suddenly laughed, and said: "Mr. Di is an old minister's words for the country, but Mr. doesn't understand people's hearts!" Cao Weiming and his ilk are all heroic figures, if I enter the annexation state and talk to him, he can pass the buck in every possible way, and even directly hand over all the military and political power of the annexation state to me, and let me coordinate it.
In this way, I am not familiar with life, and I can't turn food and grass into grain and grass when I grasp a city in my hand! Now that I am outside the city of Bingzhou, how can Cao Weiming shirk? He needs me to send troops, so he can only agree to my conditions, and when he agrees to my conditions, am I afraid that he will fulfill them?
Sir, I am worried about the change of the state, and how can the state change? Cao Weiming has tens of thousands of people guarding and annexing the state, even if there is any change, it is all under control, what can be changed? ”
Di Qinghai frowned slightly and stopped talking, years of experience made Di Qinghai have a sense of foreboding in his heart, the truth of the matter is really as Song Wensong said, Song Wensong's words made him almost unable to refute.
But the actual situation is often much more complicated than the truth, and more importantly, Di Qinghai is very worried about Song Wensong's mentality now, Song Wensong has been in a state of excitement since the blood sacrifice ceremony, and to put it seriously, Song Wensong seems to be a little fluttering.
The king of the Northwest who has been dreamed of for many years now he got what he wanted, and now he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, and this time the army and the state seem to be in his hands again, which makes Song Wensong feel that once he enters the Central Plains, he can compete in the world, and he will definitely be able to catch Lu Zheng off guard.
And as long as Lu Zheng hurts and Lu Zheng defeats the Central Plains, Song Wensong will be able to turn things around, soar into the sky, and even compete for the world......
I have to say that this road can be integrated and coherent, and once it is passed, it will be invincible in the world. But the other thing to see is that none of this is happening, it's just beginning, everything is in its infancy.
It's a great idea for the future, but who knows what the real situation is? Nine times out of ten, Di Qinghai is not so optimistic about the future, in fact, only extremely inflated people will be optimistic about the future!
Di Qinghai's advice was useless, and no one of his advisers spoke, so the atmosphere in the entire military tent was very relaxed, and the generals felt that there was no big battle to fight in front of them, and they were very relaxed.
But most of the generals are good at drinking, and Song Wensong himself is also very good at drinking, so he gathers a group of henchmen and generals together in his Chinese military tent every day, and everyone drinks and has fun, and lives a good and happy life.
After staying in the military tent like this for three days, the strategists sent out to send envoys had not returned, Song Wensong was a little unhappy in his heart, and immediately sent someone to merge the state, this time he was going to ask the guilt directly.
At this moment, a scout from the army suddenly came to report, and the scout said loudly:
"Tell the prince, something is wrong! Bingzhou was attacked by the Liaodong Army, Cao Weiming estimated that he couldn't hold it, and most of the city defense of Bingzhou was damaged! ”
When Song Wensong heard the news, he was shocked and couldn't help but say, "Where did this Liaodong Army come from?" Lu Zheng personally led the army to fight in the capital, who would attack and annex the state at this time? Everyone, could it be that this person is a willow pine? ”
Song Wensong said this, everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to answer, they didn't know about the Central Plains, the scout spies were sent out, and the news was not returned, who could know the situation?
Song Wensong's face turned pale, and he shouted: "No matter what the situation is? Our army marched out, quickly approached Bingzhou, rescued Cao Weiming, and Bingzhou must not be lost to the enemy! ”
Song Wensong gave an order, and all the generals took orders, and a big battle seemed to be about to kick off, just at this time, Di Qinghai suddenly stepped forward and said:
"Lord Wang, slow down, at this time we send troops, in case the siege of the state is fake, it is true to lure us to send troops to rescue, they surround a point, the purpose is to send reinforcements, then we have fallen into the trap of the other party?
Now our intelligence is unknown, but the opponent may know everything about our movements, and the enemy is dark and I am clear, so we can't help but guard against it! ”
Song Wensong frowned, he was a man who knew the soldiers, of course he knew that Di Qinghai's words were definitely not untargeted, and they were definitely wise words, but in this situation, Song Wensong couldn't help but think that it was absolutely impossible for Lu Zheng to arrive in Bingzhou so soon.
You must know that there is at least more than a thousand miles from the capital to Bingzhou, and even if Lu Zheng does not fight the capital and directly swings his army to merge with the state, it will take at least ten days for his army to go all the way north.
Moreover, the ten-day march, more than 100 miles a day, the continuous march of the army must be tired, how can a tired army capture such a dangerous city as Bingzhou?
Therefore, Song Wensong felt that he might be sure that the enemy of Bingzhou was not the main force of the Liaodong Army, Song Wensong thought again, the Northwest Army led by him was all elite, and the combat power of the Northwest Army was already stronger than that of the Liaodong Army.
Thinking of this, he said: "Since ancient times, Ren is Pang Juan's grandson, and they have not been able to use their troops perfectly. As long as Lu Zheng does not attack the annexation and annexation, the main force of the Liaodong Army is not there, where is the enemy of our Northwest Army near Bingzhou?
Come on, continue to pass on my orders, and the army will be drawn immediately, and the rescue will be quickly annexed! ”
Lu Zheng's army was launched, and even if the prohibition of alcohol was promulgated, the lax military discipline was suddenly tightened these days, and many generals of the Northwest Army also put away their previous relaxed mentality, everyone knew that they were going to fight against the Liaodong Army next, so they didn't dare to hold it up, and there was a tense atmosphere in the army.
The army pulled out, all the way south to the vicinity of Bingzhou, and from a distance they saw the sound of killing under the city of Bingzhou, and the horn of the siege army was shouted very loudly, and the battle on the city seemed to be extremely fierce.
Seeing this scene, Song Wensong's eyes were split, and he said loudly: "Good thief, it is really the Liaodong Army, hehe, fortunately we rescued quickly, come on, play the flag, our ten battalions go hand in hand, and directly save the outside of the city!" ”
As soon as he roared, the army quickly moved closer to the state, the so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, although you can see the state from a distance, but there is actually at least two hours away from the state!
The army marched in unison, and it happened that there was a river in front of it that needed to be crossed, and this river was not wide, and the horses could cross the river directly, but with this river, the speed of the army's march slowed down at once.
The march of the army slowed down, and at the same time there was a congestion on the river, and at that moment suddenly the sound of trumpets sounded on the surrounding hillsides, and a group of men and horses suddenly appeared in the grass of the hillside.
These horses appeared from the top of the hillside, and quickly rushed down, and many of them were heavily armored iron riders!
Song Wensong suddenly heard the sound of the horn, and realized that something was wrong in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Quick, hurry up and play the flag, quickly withdraw first!" ”
But at this moment, the horn of the enemy's attack has been sounded, and the cavalry of both sides has rushed together and strangled together.
Fortunately, Song Wensong's army only crossed a small part of the river, and most of them were still on this side of the river, in addition, the cavalry led by Lu Zheng this time was the most elite of the Northwest Army, these guys have always grown up in the Turkic tribes, they are extremely good at fighting sports warfare, although they encountered a crisis, but they were not panicked, and they were able to come out of the chaos soon, and then immediately organized a counterattack, and they fought well.
In this way, the two sides fought in a hurry, fighting for more than three hours, until the sky gradually darkened, Song Wensong fought and retreated from the battlefield where the whole army withdrew, Song Wensong asked each battalion to count the men and horses to report, and the battle actually lost as many as three or four thousand people.
Losing so many people in one battle, Song Wensong really dripped blood in his heart, in his opinion, every soldier he had was a baby pimple! Especially the 20,000 elites given to him by Song Wensong, which is the military soul of the rise of the Northwest Army.
Now that the first battle has suffered a setback, it is really unreasonable! Song Wensong couldn't help but be very impetuous, and at this time, the spies came to report that the Northwest Army had broken through the state, Cao Weiming abandoned the city of the state, and the army fled north.
The officers and men of the Northwest Army have stopped the deserters and asked Song Wensong how to send them!
Song Wensong's eyes were red, and he said angrily: "This Cao Weiming, how can it be so unreasonable, he can't hold a state with tens of thousands of horses?" What's the use of keeping this waste, kill me! ”
Di Qinghai stood up and said: "Lord Wang, this is absolutely impossible, Cao Weiming is not an ordinary general, he is a first-class prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, if you kill him, I am afraid that it will cause countless rights and wrongs."
More importantly, the biggest enemy now is the Liaodong Army, and at this very moment, the two sides should work together to make the best policy......"
