Chapter 698: Decisive Battle in Hanzhong Mansion
"It's too frustrating, the lower officials will never agree!"
Zhang Weiyi, the prefect of Hezhong, was scared to death and resolutely opposed it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Although he doesn't want him to charge, but once the only elite attack, there is no garrison in Hezhong Mansion, if there is a little fork, and the master Shi Wengong Bi Shijing does not cooperate, then the army that goes out of the city to fight is to deliver food. And then...... Of course, Hezhong Mansion is finished, and hundreds of thousands of people, literati, and officials will cry blindly.
"This is a military meeting, and the government is responsible for one person, and you don't have anything to do, drive this commotion away." Gao Fang waved his hand.
Then Zhang Weiyi's prefect was like an object, and was carried away by Ju Jing on his shoulder.
"Xiangye ......"
Han Shizhong licked his lips excitedly and said, "Your idea is really crazy, hehe." This tactic must be based on: it is really Bi Shijing's department that occupies the two lines of Longmen in order to have a chance of success. Are you willing to bet on the fortunes of the country? β
Gao Fangping said: "It's not about gambling on national fortunes. If the judgment of this government is wrong, it will indeed cut off the 20,000 elites of our attack, and then bring about the fall of Hezhong Province. But that's just the case, if Bi Shijing's department is not in Longmen, the guy who planted the master will not scatter eagles, so he can still rely on his best defensive tactics to tie up Brother Cha in the Hezhong Fu war zone, and wait for Liu Yanqing's troops to slow down in the spring of the next year, and he can also negotiate with the help of the strategic initiative. β
Liu Fa thought for a while and said, "Mingfu, your judgment is extremely reasonable. It's just that if you fight like this, even if you win, it will be more costly. I don't know why you are in such a hurry to go to the extreme showdown? It must be known that even if we basically spend money on defending the city, but after all, we have the protection of the city, and we have 20,000 elites in our hands, so we can maintain the battle situation, and wait for the beginning of spring Liu Yanqing's troops to slow down and go south. β
"No!" Gao Fang said indifferently: "The war has reached this point, and it is no longer a military issue, but a political issue. If I am not wrong, Li Qianshun is not an idiot, the envoys of Western Xia have already gone to the Liao State to negotiate, and the Liao State will definitely not sit idly by and watch the Song State become bigger, that is not in their interests, so soon the Liao State envoy will arrive in Bianjing, the so-called enemy is in the first three rows, if it is delaying, I am worried that there will be no chance to completely annihilate the Cha Ge Division, and there will be an armistice agreement. β
The generals looked at each other, sacrificing so many people, how could the war come to this point, how could they let the tiger return to the mountain, and let the 210,000 people of Chage return to Western Xia again because of an armistice agreement of the imperial court?
Unexpectedly, the Great Demon King was thinking about this problem at this time?
"Ladies and gentlemen, the military is a derivative of politics, and there is a high probability that the situation I am talking about will happen. And it happened, I can't refuse, because I'm not the kind of broken jar that cultivates the master's way, and I'm the one who will enter the green clouds one day in the future. I cannot disobey the orders of the court and the emperor. Gao Fangping said: "I understand, no one wants to let that group of Xixia people go back." So now that I don't bet on the fortune of the country, but I may sacrifice my sergeants, I'm not sure how many people are willing to follow me to gamble this game, are you willing to attack for the total annihilation of the Western Xia people? β
Han Shizhong first knelt down and said: "The last general swears to follow Xianggong to the death!" β
At this point, Xu Ning, Liu Falin, Chongguan Sheng and other major generals, only all knelt on the ground and said: "The last general will swear to follow Xiangye and charge into battle!" Vowed to leave this group of northwest wolves in the land of the Great Song Dynasty as fertilizer! β
"Good!" When Gao Fangping turned to leave, he said, "Raise the account!" β
β¦β¦
When the big drum thundered, all the military personnel who needed to participate, including countless junior officers, were soon lined up in the lobby.
Middle- and lower-ranking officers are a group of people who will always cry blind. Since Gao Fangping, Liu Fa, Xu Ning, and other major higher-ranking officers have decided on the strategy of taking risks to attack, they no longer need to tell the middle- and lower-ranking officers the actual situation, because when the attack is a foregone conclusion, they only need to swear an oath and let the middle- and lower-level officers have the correct determination to win and lead the soldiers to charge.
There is nothing wrong with this, even in the United States, the beacon of later generations, the military will not have democracy and the rule of law, and when the mallet is needed, the US military must die in Afghanistan without knowing the situation.
"Everyone!"
Gao Fangping opened his eyes and said nonsense, "The brave and warlike Bi Shijing Department has been put into the Hezhong Fu War Zone with sufficient equipment and ammunition under the orders of the imperial court!" β
Yes!
The middle and lower-ranking officers were excited and happy with each other, and this was the best news they had heard since the siege of Hazhong Province for four months.
"At the same time!" Gao Fangping continued to talk blindly, "The main force of the Daoist Division, as well as part of the troops of Liu Yanqing's Division, have also successfully completed the strategy of the prefecture to move south, and officially formed a siege of the Chage Division!" β
Everyone cheered even more.
Gao Fangping said: "At this time, this mansion intends to lock up all the results of the battle in winter, take the initiative to launch the Battle of Hezhong Mansion, and annihilate the group of northwest wolves outside the city who have besieged us for four months in one fell swoop!" β
"Victory, victory, victory, victory!"
Thousands of big-headed officers and junior army commissars shouted excitedly and neatly.
"In the previous Song and Xia wars, millions of Hanwa children disappeared into the war. And my Great Song Dynasty has never had an effective way to control this trend. They come and rob when they want to, and they want to leave without paying the price. Gao Fangping said: "This situation continues to the last moment of the fourth year of Daguan. Since I, Gao Fangping, presided over the Battle of Song and Xia, this is the only opportunity for the Great Song Dynasty to wash away the shame of the past, and I am sure that we can get back what we have lost at one time. When you come out to mix, you have to pay it back, which is the concept that Gao Fangping has held since his debut. And now is the time. β
"Wash away the shame! It's official! "The roar shook the sky!
"In the past three years, thirty years, since the founding of the Western Xia Dynasty, the martyrs who died in the previous Song-Xia Wars, they need to be comforted, this is the responsibility of the dynasty, and the dynasty needs you to win this war!" Gao Fangping Road.
"Swear to die for Xiangye to charge into battle!" All of them knelt on the ground.
"Prepare for war!" Gao Fangping raised the Son of Heaven Sword......
In late December of the fourth year of Daguan, the coldest season.
At a time when Chage had not yet decided whether to adopt a defensive strategy and retreat to the four counties, at dawn on the 23rd, thick smoke billowed from the side of Hezhong Province and war drums thundered.
The smoke was a kind of signal to Shi Wengong.
As for the war drums, they were judged by the Western Xia army to be a bluff.
The so-called wolf is coming and I hear it a lot, and almost no one takes it seriously. In the past, Gao Fangping really had a hole in his brain, and would use the initiative to bluff, and he really scared the Western Xia army several times to hurriedly retreat the siege vehicles, and then began to set up the formation.
But then Brother Cha was also tired, and everyone thought that there was really no such reason and precedent, and it was impossible for the trapped weak side to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight.
However, anything is possible.
This time, when the Xixia forward line was laughing and roasting in the snow, Gao Fangping really attacked.
For a time, the four gates of Hezhong Mansion were wide open, and Liu Fa and Xu Ning were divided into left and right wings, leading the soldiers stationed in the Si Division, and quickly launched a charge and strangulation against the scattered positions of Western Xia.
The Tangut people suspected that the Song army had gone mad, but at the same time it was in chaos. Because this dense phalanx was menacing, and the number was definitely beyond any of their estimates. Unexpectedly, Gao Fangping's elite is fighting more and more, the mainstream opinion is that he is less than 10,000, and now it is visually estimated that it is 20,000 elites who launched an attack on the Chage Division.
Things came too suddenly, there was no so-called cavalry advantage on the front position, the fire was burning, the horses were running, and their war horses on the contrary further disrupted the Xixia army formation, while the Song soldiers were imposing, well-equipped, and full of wolf nature. They're roaring!
"Array array! What the hell are you fools wandering around! β
The forward camp in which the army is in chaos is already in chaos, and slaughter is inevitable. But the generals in the rear did their best to control their subordinates: "Don't be afraid, the Western Xia warriors are never afraid of the Song army. They are only 20,000 people! Rectify the formation and give Lao Tzu to come forward and fight, kill! β
Killβ
The reorganization and deployment of the rear and flanks takes time to react. And the process is destined to be bloody.
When the news came to the tent, Brother Cha hurriedly went out of the tent to observe the situation.
Some generals in the rear have long been indignant, and they really can't imagine that Gao Fangping has deviated from the scriptures so far, is he trying to commit suicide?
However, at the level of Chago, he still had to carefully assess the situation, guess Gao Fangping's tactical purpose, and think about the direction of decision-making.
Since Gao Fangping attacked, of course, it was possible to pay a certain price, press it in a short time, eat Gao Fangping's department in one fell swoop, and then take Hezhong Mansion.
But the problem is that this unit is the one that defeated General Xi Shining in the field. If it can't be won in a short time, once Bi Shijing and Shi Wengong's troops make a mistake and take the lead in the battle, then the vigorous Battle of Hezhongfu will officially start in an unprepared passive situation, and the opportunity to fully retreat to the four counties will be lost?
Now that the front-line battle has been fully launched, whether to fight or retreat has become a big problem for Brother Cha, but there is not much time for Brother Cha to make decisions, because Gao Fangping, the grandson, has shown his cards......
"Newspaperβ"
A herald nervously entered the lobby of Yongle County and said: "Report to the general, there is a fireworks signal from the direction of Hezhong Mansion, and the Ministry of Xiao Gao Xianggong has taken the initiative to attack and officially launched a counteroffensive campaign." But there are too few of them, if there is no army to cooperate, it is very likely that it will not be supported for a long time, please make a quick decision general! β
Someone in the account proposed: "General, you should immediately report to the old marshal and urge the old marshal to send troops to a decisive battle." β
"Urge a ghost!" Shi Wengong's big hand slapped the table and said: "This back and forth exchange of news, the daylily is cold, even if you convince the old shuai, it will also cause a devastating blow to the little high minister." β
"What then?" Many people hold their fists.
Shi Wengong got up and threw down the arrow and said: "The general has ordered that the Yongle Military Department officially abandon Yongle County and attack the northwest corner of the Chage Division. There is no need to have any worries, Brother Cha will definitely not be so sudden, as long as our troops are put into battle as quickly as possible, Bi Shijing's troops will definitely not sit idly by, and they will immediately send troops to attack the southwest corner of Brother Cha's army. From this point of view, there must be all kinds of spies in the Seed Master Dao, and he will know what to do as soon as possible. β
β¦β¦
Brother Cha finally gave up his plan to completely annihilate Gao Fangping and planned to retreat to the four counties.
Therefore, after the reorganization of the main army, it was not to rescue the troops who were fighting hard in front. Yes, the forward line of Western Xia has been abandoned, there will be no so-called rescue, this is battlefield politics.
Chage's main force began to escort the heavy siege baggage to retreat, intending to retreat as quickly as possible to the four counties in the central region.
But how can the deployment and execution of the 200,000 army be completed in a short time, because of Gao Fangping's suddenness, the best time for the Western Xia army to retreat has been missed, and the advance evacuation troops in the northwest have not yet officially entered Yuxiang County, so they met with Shi Wengong, who is known as the most feared heavy cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
In view of the fact that a tactical retreat had already begun, the morale of the Western Xia people was too low, and they carried heavy baggage, the casualties were very heavy......
Monitoring the beginning of the general offensive in the direction of Hezhongfu, in fact, without waiting for Shi Wengong's pace, Bi Shijing has already entered the battle, in the southwest corner, to the Western Xia retreating army that is trying to retreat to Wanquan County, to launch a frenzied blockade, in view of the fact that Bi Shijing's troops are also all equipped with divine arm crossbows, and there are especially many small artillery units, and there are sufficient ammunition, so although they are not heavy cavalry troops, their lethality to the Western Xia army is even stronger than Shi Wengong's department.
As a result, when the offensive should not have been launched, in fact, the battle of Hezhong Mansion had already begun, and the eyes of the master were black, so he could only order the army to be fully pressed now that the three sergeants had already moved, and officially changed from a defensive strategy to a group army annihilation war. From the north and northeast, they quickly marched and fought against the main force of the Western Xia army.
Because Gao Fangping took the lead in launching a general attack, in fact, it was already the highest combat order of Gao Fangping, the commander of the north, so he really couldn't turn a blind eye, although the old kind was a hooligan, he was a soldier in his bones after all, not a deserter who did not dare to fight......
As the commander-in-chief, Chago once again made the wrong decision, and the vigorous Battle of Hezhong Province was already underway, and it would no longer be diverted by his will.
By noon, the entire battlefield was in chaos, the Song army was full of bloodthirsty sharks, and the Western Xia army under morale was in the entire Hezhong Prefecture boundary, and the command system was almost collapsed!
Shi Wengong's heavy cavalry remained mobile, interspersed with wave after wave of detours, like a quick knife, cutting off the Western Xia Breakthrough Army in the northwest again and again.
The southwest side is even more cruel, booming and booming all the time, and what Bi Shijing carries is a "tuotuo" that has been improved twice, and the explosion rate in the ice and snow has been greatly improved. In addition, relying on the coverage of the divine arm crossbow, Bi Shijing's department is the biggest meat grinder in this battle.
There is a reason why the Seed Master Daobu did not want to start the Battle of Hezhong Province lightly, because his troops were the poorly equipped, the hardest fighting, and the most casualties.
Now it seems that although Gao Fangping has a hole in his brain, the Battle of Hezhongfu he launched was indeed successful, and it was only a matter of time before he killed the Western Xia army, nothing more than the price. Those Xixia people now have a collapsed command system, and the morale of the army is completely chaotic, so even if they come from the two black military divisions, they will only fly separately to break through on multiple fronts.
Since they have broken through, of course, the most of them have to break through to the north to go home as soon as possible, so it is the pressure of the Seed Master Dao Department that is the greatest, because the equipment is not well-equipped, so the casualties of the Seed Master Dao Department cannot be ignored.
Fortunately, the Dao of the Seed Master was obscene enough, he really didn't care about the life or death of Gao Fangping, and it caused the collapse of the Western Xia Army, and the whole line broke through to the north.
The Seed Master Dao was not radical, he was not advancing, and he changed his defense and withdrew again, attracting the main force of the Western Xia to break through and fight and retreat.
In the afternoon, the Planter finally retreated to his own position.
Despite the heavy casualties, the obscene old man succeeded, and the defensive offensive he had built earlier to slow down the cavalry breakthrough officially played a role, and the mobility advantage of a large number of Western Xia breakthrough troops was instantly killed, and in this way, the main force of the Western Xia breakthrough was dragged by the old man in Hehe 1 Dong County and Yong 1 Le County for a generation of strangulation......
Kill, Kill, Kill, Kill -
The old species is fighting and cherishing in retreat, and the Shi Wengong Division, Bi Shijing Division, Liu Fa Division, and Xu Ning Division, who have already completed the encirclement, are becoming more and more courageous, driving the most people to the position of the Seed Division.
I'm @#Β₯
Seed Master Dao gritted his teeth angrily in the handsome tent in Hedong County, dog 1st, if my old breed has the final say, then I will definitely hang all these scum street lights, but unfortunately, this time the northern coach is not my seed master Dao.
No matter what, of course, the old breed didn't want to let these Tanguts leave, and after retreating to the Yongle line in Hedong, he couldn't retreat anymore, so he had to beat the Tanguts hard. Damn, there will be no slowing down the offensive of the Tanguts after retreating, there will be no ditches, no horse rejection formations, nothing, only breakthrough deserters all over the world.
"It's good that Lao Tzu is obscene, I didn't listen to Shi Wengong's grandson's advice to send troops earlier, and built a large area of simple ditches and horse rejection arrays, otherwise what will I fight now? The remnants of the Western Xia army have long since run out! The planter muttered to himself in the handsome tent.
The planter sighed beside him, knowing that his brother's strategy was fine, and he was right. It's just that I don't know why, brother, he always does the right thing, but he always offends some people and pulls away most of the hatred? I don't know how my brother will be persecuted by the bureaucrats after the war......
