Section 168 Pulling out the Wuding River

The generals were judging that the Northern Plain had just been taken back from the hands of Eastern Xia, and it was the most unfavorable to dominate, and they were close to Gao Xian in terms of distance, which should be the real goal of Gao Xian's invasion of Jingkang, and no matter how they attacked Baxian, they were undoubtedly attracting the forces of the imperial court. Based on this judgment, Baxian County was surrounded by Gao Xian, but there was a lack of rescue. Li Pan came up several times, but he was unable to defeat the morale of the Gao Xian army, and was persuaded by others, and gradually became tired. They have already fallen into a misunderstanding.

Baxian is a watershed and has always been an important place for soldiers.

Gao Xian seized it, and it was almost a flat river to the south, compared to the Northern Plain where the Dongxia people had moved out, where would it be the key point of Jingkang?

The Longsha Badger personally rushed to Baxian County to supervise the battle. He stood at the foot of the city tower, the corners of his mouth showed a cruel smile, after the age of thirty, the vigorous hair around his face, although he was often shaved clean, it was still a piece of iron green, this iron green was like more than ten years of war career cast, full of incredible courage and will. Twenty or thirty thousand people got into the arms of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the onslaught continued, and hundreds of thousands of Jingkang troops were frightened, and gradually did not dare to move, watching him fight the county...... How dare ordinary generals do this?

In fact, people in China do not understand his decision.

However, he was storming Bajun Baxian. The city tower was already full of fireworks, and the Longsha badger could see Gao Xianbing's siege weapons built by craftsmen, climbing up the city tower like locusts, and the Jingkang soldiers who desperately resisted became fewer and fewer, and that wisp of cruelty gradually turned into a smile. He pointed to the city tower and asked the dragon blood beside him: "Once you invade the city, you will drive the Jingkang people away and take them away, but the Dongxia people will all be released." ”

Dragon's Blood was stunned.

The lonser badger asked, "Don't you understand the difference?" You don't need to make a detailed screening, saying that you are from Dongxia, and you look like it, you can be released, but it is difficult for you? ”

Dragon Blood hurriedly said: "Yes, I want to give Dia Bird a little face." ”

The dragon sand badger sneered: "You have a little general's mind, okay?" Give face to Dia Bird? How did you come up with it? There are hundreds of thousands of Dongxia people in Beizhou, and there are still hundreds of thousands of Dongxia people under the rule of Huangxi, once we treat them differently, those Dongxia people who are good at fighting and understand us will not be used by Jingkang, and they will not fight to the end with us. Not only that, but the Jingkang Imperial Court will be suspicious and suspicious that we have a private agreement with Dia Bird. Dia Bird went north to the far north, is it really going to be fake? Once the army along the border is back, and the army of the Northern Plains is removed, what if Diao suddenly returns? The armies of Eastern Xia are everywhere? I think that with the prestige of Dia Bird, these Jingkang troops dare not move. In this way, we will be able to achieve great results at the lowest cost, and the people who have been taken captive by Diaiao will be able to replenish them through this battle, and plunder back to Huangdong, a tun downstream of the north water, and after three years and five years, it will be our Gaoxian people. ”

Dragon's blood coughed twice.

Longsha Badger also said: "Once we successfully defeat Bajun and Baxian, we will open up the road to attack Beizhou, and the hinterland of Jingkang will be everywhere, and we will be able to cut off the supply of the Northern Plain and Yanbian at any time. You can't eat a fat man in one bite, fight and make peace, and let go of profits, and consuming them is the main thing at present. ”

Dragonblood's eyes lit up, and he asked cautiously, "Hinting at them, Dia Bird is joining forces with us?" ”

The lonser badger laughed.

After laughing, he made a straight face: "If Jingkang's army is pulled back from the border and the Northern Plains and does not join forces, Dongxia may not be willing to let go of the opportunity." ”

Dragon's Blood asked: "Dia Bird has extraordinary ambitions, dedicated to conquering the Far North, he is not here, what if they don't want this opportunity in Dongxia?" ”

The lonza badger said lightly, "Maybe." You said to the people of Jingkang, do they believe it? ”

Dragonblood smiled too.

The dragon sander badger pointed to the castle tower, and Gao Xianren was finally driven down.

He glared at him: "It's been three days, and there is no shortage of siege equipment for you." You can't beat a county, do you want to go back and be killed? ”

He shouted, "If you can't beat it today." Tomorrow put on your armor and set an example for me to climb the wall. ”

He raised his whip and turned away.

The dragon's blood suddenly became irritable, and when he saw several generals retreating, he dismounted, and without saying a word, he whipped him with a horsewhip, and shouted angrily: "It's been a few days." How many days?! ”

The subordinate yelled angrily: "That's the elite army left behind by Tao Kan. ”

Dragon's Blood turned his head to look at the castle tower.

The Qinglong Banner of Jingkang on the upper floor of the city had been burned and half pulled, and a general was faintly hobbling away, cheering with the remaining soldiers.

He roared in his throat: "Give me another up, do you want to wait for the red-clothed general that the Dongxia people said?" He jumped off his horse, tied another layer of armor, put on his helmet, held a gun and a shield, looked back at the direction the dragon badger had left, and said with a cruel smile: "Why wait until tomorrow." Today, Lao Tzu will be on it. ”

On the castle tower.

Ma Tianyou's face was bloody, with a long arrow stuck in his arm, and the tail cluster was cut off, but with thick blood growing outside the armor, he glanced at the city, and the high soldiers all over the mountains refused to stop at all, but he was organizing people again, he turned his back, and like a soldier, he sat down by relying on the female battlement...... A general knelt down in front of him and told: "These high-ranking soldiers are not like life. I only have more than a hundred left. Checkmate. Reinforcements are delayed, let's withdraw, withdraw. ”

Ma Tianyou gasped.

Tiredness came like a tidal wave.

He whispered: "Maybe others don't save him, Li Pan will always come up, unless he can't fight, if he can't fight, how can we withdraw?" ”

He muttered: "Maybe many people are watching us, waiting for us to defeat and abandon the city, so that we will bear all the responsibility for defeat." ”

A group of generals and soldiers surrounded them and scolded the brother troops who were not saved in the face of death.

Ma Tianyou waved his hand at them and said, "Let's leave it alone." We are all from Beizhou. The villagers guard the countryside, how dare they say goodbye. I think they are both under the command of the marshal, Jiao Menglong and Wang Zongxian will not be the same as their Tian clan and Zhu clan, they are guarding against Dongxia, once the boss sends people to Dongxia to stabilize the Dongxia people, they will definitely ignore the help, you hold on for a day or two, and the war will definitely take a turn. ”

As he was talking, there were bull horns from Gao Xian's army, and another round of siege began.

Ma Tianyou testified: "Look at it. Gao Xianren is in such a hurry to attack the city, what does it mean? Aren't they tired? No. They were afraid of reinforcements coming. ”

Reinforcements?

Where are the reinforcements, the rear of Baxian County...... Most of Tian Qimin's men and horses have come up, and Li Pan has long been there. Li Pan was in the east, and part of Tian Qimin's army was in the west.

Because the competition for the Northern Plains has not yet been decided, the Zhu family had the upper hand before, Tian Qimin's soldiers were passive, and the supply was almost cut off, and they were sent by Tian Qimin to part of the counties, and now they came up separately, but Tian Qimin was in the Northern Plain. Although there were only 3,000 or 5,000 Gao Xian people who confronted them, it was extremely difficult to shake them in the field.

Li Pan has not been able to break through.

Every time Baxian's military intelligence arrived, it made him tremble.

Ma Tianyou has tens of thousands of people, but because of the battle, he has been scattered a lot, and then retreated to the county seat, his strength has been sharply reduced, and at this moment, under Gao Xian's repeated attacks, he is no longer able to support it.

Li Pan never expected that the defeated generals of the Dongxia people would be so difficult to deal with, and they could not overcome the army formation of thousands of Gaoxian people several times.

In terms of size, they were taller than the Tangut people, who had many races.

During the battle, the queue is dense, the spears are orderly, and the arrows are extremely accurate, because of the advantage in cavalry battle, you can't surround them against you. Even if they have the upper hand, they will use small armies to lurk, detour, and surprise attacks, suddenly entrench in certain positions, disrupt your advantage, and then counterattack with great vigour.

When he first arrived, Li Pan needed merit to stabilize himself, but he was blocked by a 3,000-strong commander of Labey. He didn't know if he would be laughed at if he had brought so many soldiers and couldn't break through the enemy formation, and there was no shortage of people around him who persuaded him. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't command the army in the Northern Plains and along the border, even if he could command it, he didn't dare to move, he gave people a letter and asked people to come to help, and when the time came, the Dongxia people took advantage of the situation to enter, who would be responsible? Of course, his state army, regardless of the number of people, is the weakest, he assessed the strength, and finally concluded that once Gao Xian defeated Baxian, he would not be able to resist Gao Xianren's soldiers.

At last...... Someone has a plan, don't act rashly, once Ma Tianyou is defeated, open up the uncertain river.

Pick up the Wuding River and block Gao Xian's army?

Although the weather is getting warmer, the Wuding River is still frozen, what if the water is dug out and flooded, and when the weather is cold, all the water overflowing from the fields is frozen?

Perhaps blessed by God, the weather is getting warmer and the temperature is rising, and the ice on the uncertain river is gone, and the night is no longer freezing. Today, Baxian broke through the blockade and sent out the news that there was not much left of Ma Tianyou's department, and Ma Tianyou and the soldiers swore to live and die with Baxian.

When you get to this kind of field, you don't have to wait any longer.

Li Pan made up his mind and announced: "Pull out the Wuding River." ”
