As the coldest season approached in mid-December, Bi Shijing's troops, who had raised troops from Jiangzhou, were transported along the river and by boat, and officially entered the Hezhongfu Theater. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This extra 10,000 new troops is a serious strategic passivity for the Chago Division.

However, since the strategic reversal, it was finally dragged to this point by Gao Fangping's "turtle strategy", and the Cha Ge Department failed to defeat the Hezhong Province before the winter, and waited for the support of other military departments, it can be said that this will definitely happen, and Cha Ge has done his best. It doesn't depend on anyone's will.

Bi Shijing is not a person who will be chaotic, although he has already arrived in the Hezhongfu war zone, but he will not rashly march with only 15,000 troops, so he is well-equipped and rich in materials, so he can only quickly rely on Long1 Men County, Rong 1 and He County as the base to deploy, temporarily forming a barrier to prevent the possibility of a breakthrough of the Chage Division.

At this point, the real encirclement of the main forces of the Chago Department has been completed.

The 125,000 elites of the Seed Master Dao and Shi Wengong have formed a defensive line on the east, west, and center sides north of Hezhong Mansion, and have been on a poorly built defensive offensive, which can effectively prevent the cavalry of the Chage Division from breaking through.

The old breed is determined to eat the Chago tribe, and to build a real bunker offensive, it will be very difficult in the absence of materials and people. But to set up a horse rejection array and ditch to weaken the mobility of the Western Xia cavalry to break through to the north, they can do it.

In this case, the main city of Hezhong Fu choked the central part, and the eastern part relied on the river and the fleet and navy on the river to hold it.

Then after Bi Shijing was stationed in Rong 1 and Long 1 Men County, he basically blocked all the openings for the Chage Department to break through......

The cold wind was bleak, and in the tent of the Western Xia military camp, Brother Cha frowned and thought about the current situation.

Basically, for Chago, fighting to this point already means defeat. At present, it seems that there is still a handshake in his hands with a total of nearly 210,000 troops, which seems to be an absolute advantage over the Song State. But the momentum has long been lost, in the ice and snow, but the long-term attack on the Hezhong Mansion can not be lower, at the beginning of the spring 400,000 troops into the Great Song Dynasty, and now the territory is lost, only about half of the men and horses are left in hand, in addition to the group of soy sauce Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division in the north of the Great Wall dare not move.

"Generals, the war has reached this point, and the strategic initiative has long since changed hands."

In the tent, Brother Cha suddenly said: "This means that our strategy of entering the Song Kingdom has failed. ”

The generals looked at each other, some of them were not loud, but many were still unconvinced.

Cha Ge continued: "Whether we admit it or not, this is the truth. Now we are faced with a choice, and Ben Shuai doesn't know if you are willing to fight for the river mansion in the last hand. This may succeed, but there is also a good chance that we will never return to Western Xia. Another option is to rely on the four counties in our hands, interdependence, and adopt a defensive strategy with superior forces to maintain it until the beginning of spring next year? ”

The generals of Western Xia looked at each other, and they had never seen the eloquent Brother Cha say so seriously.

An impatient general shouted: "The last general is not convinced!" If we choose to defend, not only will the hatred of the West Shining Department not be reported, and the Hezhong Mansion will not be broken, and we will only be beaten. can't afford to lose such a person, this is undoubtedly the surrender of the Song State. Dashuai, in these years of tug-of-war, even if it is the Song State, which has always been cowardly, there are few cases of surrender. So this is an absolute disgrace to my party fighters! ”

Most of the other generals meant this, but they just said that Chage's prestige in the Western Xia army was too high, and they kept silent for the time being, waiting to continue to observe.

Brother Cha said: "Of course, it is possible to succeed in biting Hezhong Mansion, and now we have accumulated enough siege vehicles, and we may rely on saturation attacks to defeat Hezhong Mansion." But there is only a chance, because we have already seen the tenacity and combat strength of Gao Fangping's troops, and we don't know the situation of their defending materials and actual personnel at the moment. ”

A general said: "The last general estimates that his actual soldiers in Gao Fangping are already 10,000. It can be broken in one go. ”

Brother Cha nodded and said: "Theoretically, you are right, his Gao Fangping's personnel should be less than 10,000, but the problem is that since the start of the war, we have suffered too much from him, but his affairs cannot be measured by common sense." Ben Shuai really doesn't know how much strength he still has in his hands. However, based on Ben Shuai's understanding of the Seed Master Dao, the Seed Master Dao judged that Gao Fangping's strength was not more than 10,000, so he did not trigger it, and delayed the battle of Hezhong Mansion. If we bite the Hezhong Mansion hard, the Seed Master Dao will stubbornly sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so if we are brave and fast enough, it is possible to eat the Hezhong Mansion before the Seed Master Dao enters the battle. That's why Ben Shuai said he had a chance. ”

A careful general said: "Please tell me again, maybe we can't go back to the Western Xia statement?" ”

Cha Ge said: "The biggest variable is the new arrival to support the forbidden army Bi Shijing's department, as well as the specific strength of Gao Fangping's department. If we miss the opportunity to fully defend the four counties before the decision-making of the Seed Master Dao, on the contrary, we will concentrate all our forces to officially launch a saturated and desperate battle against Hezhong Mansion, and the strength of the Gao Fang Flat is beyond our imagination, and we will not be able to fight in a short time, at that time, if Bi Shijing, who is stationed in Longmen and Ronghe, launches the first battle to participate, it will inevitably drive the Shi Wengong Department of Yongle County to attack with all his might, so believe me at this time, although the old thief of the Seed Master Dao is cunning, but he is a soldier and not an executioner, he will not sit idly by and watch the death of friendly troops, So he will also participate in the war, which is to passively launch the Battle of Hezhongfu. ”

After a pause, Brother Cha continued: "Although our department claims to be 210,000, you know in your own hearts how many real warriors are there? And we have fought exhausted and demoralized. And the more than 110,000 people of the Daoist Department are the ruthless people who are least afraid of the Western Xia Army, they have been waiting for work so far, plus the heavy cavalry of the Shi Wengong Department, the variables of the Gao Fang Ping Department, and the full state of the forbidden army of the Bi Shijing Department, I am not sure, but after the battle begins, there is a high probability that we will not be able to return to the Western Xia. “

All the generals have solemn faces, Brother Cha analyzes the reason, the biggest variable is Gao Fangping, who has repeatedly created miracles since the start of the war, how much strength does he have, can he withstand a wave of saturation attacks from Lao Tzu?

A general suddenly said: "Dashuai, the Song army is cowardly and selfish, Dashuai is determined to attack the new Bi Shijing when the attack on Hezhong Mansion is attacked?" He should know that they are at a disadvantage in terms of total strength, and they may not participate in the war? ”

Cha Ge said: "This is the problem, this is the reason why I am handsome and you are a general." You just have to lead the troops to charge, and I, Brother Cha, need to understand Gao Fangping and his people and understand the various situations in the Great Song Dynasty in the months before the war starts. This Bi Shijing is also a general, and he is Gao Fangping's descendant, he must have Gao Yu's secret order to rescue Gao Fangping, so he has a high probability of participating in the war, as soon as he joins the war, Shi Wengong is also a ruthless person, and he is also Gao Fangping's descendant, and he will definitely not be controlled by the seed master Dao to attack, so it is possible to officially trigger the battle of Hezhong Mansion! ”

Another general said: "Why does the marshal think that if you give up attacking Hezhong Mansion now and retreat to the four counties to passively defend, you will be able to survive?" ”

Cha Ge said: "It is impossible to break through now. And we still have four counties in our hands to rely on, the defense will always occupy some cheap, our food is enough to last until the beginning of spring next year, if necessary, we can slaughter horses to feed the stomach, and we have superior forces, and the problem of holding the city is basically not big. The current siege vehicle wood can be used as a material for me to defend the city and warm up for the winter. In this way, I conclude that although our imperial court is not capable of rescuing us for the time being, the Liao State will not sit idly by and watch the Song State become stronger. Just as the last time in the Song-Xia War, when the Song State gained the upper hand, the Liao State would put pressure on the Song court, and the Liao people would definitely participate this time. If Ben Shuai guessed correctly, now that we are in danger of being surrounded in Hezhong Mansion, His Majesty has sent an envoy into the Liao State to circulate. Therefore, as long as it can be held until the beginning of spring next year, the Liao State will inevitably put pressure on the Song court, and the pressure on the Song court will be transformed into pressure on Gao Fangping. As long as we can temporarily rely on Lin1 Near County, Yi 1 County, Wan 1 Quan County, and Yu 1 Township County to hold on, although we lose militarily, there is a high probability that we can be rescued in the end, and we can still return to our hometown after signing an armistice agreement. ”

One is that there is a high probability of survival, but it is tantamount to showing weakness, and it is very likely to passively sign unequal treaties. The other may turn the tide of the war, but there is a probability that the entire army will be wiped out, so in the face of these major problems, the deployment of Western Xia has temporarily become a big question......

The unknown situation of the Seed Master Dao is waiting, Shi Wen Gong Department, who is temporarily controlled by the Seed Master Dao, is waiting, and Bi Shijing is also waiting......

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

Gao Fangping stood on the top of the high city, looking at the Chage camp from afar.

Ju Jing walked softly, put a cloak on him to protect him from the snow, and asked, "What is Xianggong thinking?" ”

"Why didn't Brother Si attack the city yet? According to my calculations, he shouldn't be waiting, accumulated until now, everyone has done their best since the siege of Hezhong Mansion, and in four months, Brother Cha has basically accumulated the ability to attack with saturation. Gao Fangping muttered: "And the arrows we use to defend the city are only insufficient, and they are basically running out. ”

"I don't understand that." Ju Jing shook his head slightly.

Gao Fangping looked at it from afar in a different direction and said, "But Brother Cha is not attacking now, there must be a reason." Although Hezhong Mansion was besieged and killed, I don't know the specific situation outside, but I am sure that the reinforcements from the imperial court are coming, and they must have occupied Ronghe and Longmen according to the river transportation, which is why Brother Cha did not attack the city immediately. There is only one explanation. ”

"Who will come?" Liang Hongying said curiously, she didn't trust the other big-headed generals too much.

"Now that Tao Jiefu and Uncle Zhang are in charge, they won't make stupid moves, so it's definitely Bi Shijing." Gao Fangping narrowed his eyes and said: "If it is Bi Shijing, he is from the Dajiangzhou Industrial Base, it must be the most sophisticated new equipment, especially the artillery ammunition and other materials must be sufficient, that is what they designed and manufactured in Jiangzhou." ”

"What's the conclusion?" Liang Hongying said.

"The conclusion is......" Gao Fangping suddenly had a bold idea: "If it is really Bi Shijing's troops who occupy the two lines of Longmen, then a strategic encirclement of the Chage department will be completely formed." And now that the materials for defending the city are basically exhausted, the defense of the city is no longer much cheap, and our troops are sufficient, so we may take the initiative to attack and passively trigger the battle of Hezhongfu! ”

"Ahh

Liu Fa, Xu Ning, Han Shizhong and others around couldn't help but change color.

The Great Demon King: This is really an unprecedented bold idea. The weak defender of the city, he actually wanted to lead the 20,000 elite infantry that he had easily accumulated at his moment, and first go out of the city to attack the 200,000 army of the Chage Division!
