"Now there has to be an argument that the children in the house can't drag on time."

didn't hide it, and didn't care that he was still at the gate of the palace, and said bluntly:

"Otherwise, we will go south to fight Huagou, or we will withdraw the children to Xingling and fight in Xingling!"

"That's right, if you still want to drag it out like this, let his famous soldiers eat cannonballs!"

The others immediately responded.

Although they all know that this will definitely not work - a temporary change of generals is a big taboo, let alone a temporary change of troops, this is a tactical move that is simply impossible.

Therefore, they are just saying that the fundamental purpose is to choose a decisive battle, rather than continue to drag on waiting for foreign allies who do not know if they will come.

"But what if the Son of Heaven must continue to drag on time?" Ye Xiaoma asked.

This question silenced the scene.

There is really no good way to do this, and now some people even think that Emperor Dade's current choice is actually to weaken the domestic clan by the hands of foreign enemies.

"Your Majesty is old." didn't hide Pang Pang's cold hint: "The prince is 16 years old this year and is virtuous." ”

The hint in the words made many people stunned.

"It can't be done." Renduo Chuqing shook his head and said, "Our soldiers are all outside, and now the land of Xingling is full of soldiers from the famous family." ”

"What then?" didn't hide Pang Wei's anger: "The Chinese army has arrived in Yaode City, and the road to Lingzhou has already been halfway through!" Drag it out a little longer......"

"Don't even think about what you can't do, but you can choose another way to achieve your goal." Ye Xiaoma reminded beside him: "The soldiers of the famous family are all in Xingling, and our soldiers are in the fortress in the south, that is to say, Your Majesty actually can't control the ...... in the south, hehe, if Your Majesty insists on going your own way, we will simply give up those fortresses in the south." ”

"Yes, yes, this is a good solution!" A small clan elder agreed: "Let's withdraw the soldiers of each family directly to Xingling, and Your Majesty can still kill us all?" As long as we arrive in Xingling, are we afraid that Your Majesty will not fight a decisive battle? ”

Ye Xiaoma waved his hand: "This is a method that Your Majesty does not listen to advice and has no choice but to use it as a last resort, we have to advise Your Majesty these days." ”

This is the biggest drawback of the tribal alliance regime, and it is likely that it is not one of them - if their own tribe needs it, the big tribes in the country will not care in the slightest to harm their own interests.

Then again, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom did not have any psychological obstacles to the use of foreign enemies to consume the strength of the large tribes below.

……

On December 20, 1792, the Chinese army conquered Huide City.

This was a large fortress with a slightly larger garrison, and a full 5,000 Xia soldiers were stewed by the Chinese army.

This time, Li Jinghuai did not continue the attack, because it was snowing heavily, and he needed more time to change the wheels of the vehicle in his hand to the sleigh banner.

This delayed a lot of time, and in addition, although the pace of progress had not been fast in the previous war for more than a month, he believed that the troops still needed a certain amount of time to rest and recuperate, and it was just in time for the heavy snow to complete this matter.

In the end, Li Jinghuai hoped to use this time to stock up on more grain, grass and ammunition for the front line, and began to mobilize migrant workers to repair the forts he had conquered, which to the Chinese army were canned meat, and it didn't take much effort to pry open and eat the delicacies inside.

But for the party members, having a fortress defended by the Chinese army is to gnaw at the armor with their teeth - there is no chance at all.

Before the war, the General Staff of the Chinese Army had predicted that the Dangxiang people would lose confidence in fighting the Chinese army in the field after successive defeats in the field, but they might try to send elite cavalry to cut off the longer and longer supply lines of the Chinese army.

This is a very normal idea, in fact, thirty years ago, when the Zhou army carried out a strategic offensive against the pseudo-Xia, they used this hand, and achieved great success - when the Jin army entered the customs, the daily rations of the Great Zhou Western Army that had reached Lingzhou were only half of the normal one, which was also one of the reasons why the Dangxiang people were able to follow and pursue all the way when they retreated, causing the collapse of the Western Army on all fronts.

Although the possibility is very small, Li Jinghuai does not want to repeat Da Zhou's original mistake.

The basic strategy was to use the forts built by the party members themselves as a series of garrison stations, each of which would be stationed to ensure that the enemy's light cavalry could not overcome the troops, and to store rations that could be used by the front-line troops for more than three days.

Then, for supplies in front of the station, or between the stations, use large carts with guarded wagons as much as possible, so that in the event of a surprise attack, the convoy can quickly form a formation.

In this way, even if there were only militias, the convoy would be enough to hold out until cavalry reinforcements arrived.

Li Jinghuai's style of work is to completely deny the enemy a chance, and although the troops he leads have the ability to defeat 10 with 10, he still hopes to create a chance to fight 1 with 10 as much as possible.

……

While Li Jinghuai was advancing towards Xingling little by little, the Zuohelin battle group on the westernmost road was continuing to attack westward.

Zuo Helin's style is completely different from Li Jinghuai's, he is the kind of general who would rather take risks and try to surprise the enemy as much as possible.

This kind of person can easily create a glorious victory that will go down in history when he seizes the opportunity, but once he overturns, he is a historical joke.

But Zuo Helin didn't care at all, not to mention that most of his troops were Tubo, these people were not even Waibo now, and even if they were all dead, no one would feel sorry.

Therefore, Zuo Helin is like a wild horse that has escaped from the leash, galloping all the way.

At the end of October, when the offensive began, Zuo Helin led 20,000 Han Fan to set out from Qinghai Lake, and conquered Liangzhou on the eighth day of November, cutting off the connection between the Ganzhou Military Division of the Party and Xingling.

This is actually to cut off the connection between the countries of the Western Regions and the party - these small states are all tributary states of the pseudo-Xia, although there is the heavy pressure of Pars further west, but at the critical moment of the survival of such a suzerain, it is still possible for them to send troops to reinforce.

Zuo He's marching speed like Lin Feng brought him unexpected benefits.

For example, the Dangxiang army that hurried to Xingling from Ganzhou did not expect that the Chinese army actually had 20,000 troops here.

On the 10th day of November, the troops of the Ganzhou Military Division and the Xiping Military Division (stationed in Guazhou) of the party were completely annihilated by Zuo Helin under the city of Liangzhou, and less than 1,000 of the 20,000 troops escaped from the battlefield, and they could not continue to the direction of Xingqing Fu, so they could only return to Ganzhou by the same route.

The routed army, which had lost all its supplies, walked hundreds of miles into a deserted area, and even if the Chinese army did not pursue, it was a question of how many people they could go back to.

What's more, with Zuo Helin's character, how could he not pursue?

After completely annihilating the two military divisions of the party and the army, Zuo Helin selected 3,000 elite cavalry of the Han Dynasty from among the troops, one man and two horses, and rushed west along the road from which the party members came east.

On the morning of 13 November, they arrived at the city of Ganzhou, when a small number of defeated troops had just returned home, and the cavalry of Zuo Helin rushed directly into the city almost at the same time that the defending general knew that the eastward troops had been completely annihilated.

On the same day, Zuo Helin beheaded the general of the Ganzhou Military Division, and Ganzhou changed hands.
