Chapter 485: It's to enter the desert
Historical materials contain the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, the soldiers of Qin Long, the Han style and Tang Yun, and the emphasis on righteousness and light life without reducing the predecessors.
A hundred years in the summer, dare to fight and dare to die.
The sorrow of the Western Army lies in the fact that when it was split and diluted, when resisting Jin, the only army that could fight in the Song Dynasty, tens of thousands of horses, Gyeonggi Bianliang, Hebei Hedong, Northwest, Jiangnan, everywhere was everywhere, and the Western Army was relied on everywhere, and the Western Army was required to be garrisoned everywhere.
After such a division of troops, it was inexplicably destroyed in the north and south of the river, and then the two brothers Wu Jue and Wu Lan regained the remnants of the Western Army, fought hard to resist Jin, and repeatedly made military exploits, and they were also one of the backbone forces of the Southern Song Dynasty to resist Jin. Nine times out of ten, the generals who could fight in the Southern Song Dynasty came from the Western Army.
The Western Army was originally to fight against the Western Xia to slowly develop to this day, when Wang Anshi changed the law, the armies in all regions were reduced in the name of redundant troops, except for the Western Army, and even Wang Anshi gave the Western Army relatively more autonomy.
Today's Lingzhou City is the day when the mission of the Western Army is accomplished, and it is also the time when the Western Xia Party is destroyed.
The battle in Lingzhou City continued, and the fighting was everywhere, becoming more and more tragic.
Zheng Zhi drove his horse to a small village in the city, the small village was simple, and the party members inside were like pigs surrounded by pigsties. But it's not even as good as pigs, and in order to control these Xiangli people without effort, Wei Ming Renming actually starved these people for more than several days.
There is also heavy snow like goose feathers, and there is not even a camp, which is really inhumane. It is also an extraordinary thing to do in extraordinary times. The people in the village have long been dying, with countless frostbites, and many have frozen to death, none of them are alive and alive, and all of them are struggling on the edge of life and death.
It is really sad to go to the Li family. Xiang Liben is a big clan, much stronger than Mi Bao, even after the last fiasco, he can still send more than 20,000 troops, on the other hand, Mi Bao, the entire tribe is only a few thousand people, which is why Mi Bao people can only go to the Song and Xia border to make a living.
But the fate of the two races is similar.
Zheng Zhi saw this scene and said, "Open the gate of the village, send some broth, and light a bonfire." ”
Rice can be used, and this Xiangli family can naturally use it. The remaining two thousand singles, sending thousands of party women, will inevitably be more useful than rice capture.
People can die and they can live. Human nature is always so repetitive. The law of the grassland has proved this truth again and again, and most of the grasslands unified by Temujin are still fighting to the death with him just now, turning their heads and being loyal. The same was true of the army guarded by the Ming Dynasty's Shanhaiguan.
It can be used for loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, and it can also be used for human sorrow and pity. Whatever words are used, this is man. Gain less dignity, but still alive. As for living things to do, like beasts? Like a saint? It's another problem in the darkness of human nature.
The same is true for Mi Bao now. There is no doubt that there is a deep hatred in his heart, but he can only choose to be patient. But what about the rest of the Micha people? Or what about the other party members who have been incorporated into Michael's? Have you returned to a stable life? Are you still willing to really fight for your life for Wei Mingrenming?
This depends on whether Wei Ming Renming has a chance of winning, at least for now, Wei Ming Renming has no chance of winning, and there are obviously not many who can accompany him to death regardless of everything.
Now that there is the Xiangli family, Zheng Zhi has more plans in his heart, and Xiangli will be a sharp weapon. Two vicious dogs, with only one bone, naturally have to fight, as long as there is a fight, it is the way of checks and balances. It is also one of the skills that the superior should be proficient in.
Zheng Zhi didn't look at the more than 2,000 Xiangli people, beat the horse and continued to move forward, and the endless ironclad foot soldiers in front of his head kept putting down the pressure on the northern city.
The party members are at the end of their rope.
Wei Ming Renming desperately urged the soldiers around him, more than 20 steps to the city gate, blocking it just to hold on, but now it is a huge obstacle to escape.
More and more soldiers were driven here by the Song soldiers, and naturally more and more people knew about the city gate.
The marshal Li Renming wants to run, this news seems to be nothing, but it is the last straw that crushes the mentality of these soldiers.
Wei Ming Renming was surrounded by countless rushing soldiers, all waiting for the city gate to be opened, so that he could rush out of the city gate and escape to the endless grassland desert in the north.
Zheng Zhi followed behind the foot soldiers and kept moving forward, this was also the first time Zheng Zhi enjoyed the treatment of being a handsome, that is, he didn't have to rush forward to kill himself.
It is said that the generals of the ancients all sat in the army and never stood under the dangerous wall. It is really a reverie of later generations, and since ancient times, there has been a saying "leading the way in the war", and this sentence is a word of praise for judging a general, and it is also a standard. It was the time of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that the generals fought to the death, which was also the soul and faith of the army.
The entire army that can really sit in the rear is logically only one person, and that person is the commander. It's the manager, and there is no shortage of front-line formations.
Li Shimin of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, why did he have such a high prestige in the army? is to personally charge on the horse in every formation, which is the most basic basis for him to get the throne. It is also the source of motivation for everyone to die at such a critical juncture in Xuanwu Gate.
Zheng Zhi continued to move forward, there were fewer and fewer generals around him, and they all went around, and there was no way to follow Zheng Zhi at this time, and the rest of the people who were close to him were mainly messengers, and there were more than 100 people, only so many commanders could command this battle.
Of the more than 5,000 knights, only more than 3,000 are still with Zheng Zhi.
Zheng Zhi suddenly frowned, and shouted: "Go to the front line quickly and ask, but anyone has seen Jin Jiawei's name?" ”
It is not the first time that Zheng Zhi and Wei Ming Renming have fought each other, Wei Ming Renming's kung fu running is really not bad, in Zheng Zhi's opinion, Wei Ming Renming is more skilled in running than charging. Zheng Zhi couldn't help but think of the question of Wei Ming Renming running away again.
When the soldiers around him heard the words and beat their horses and went forward, they went to the various departments to ask the generals in front of them.
The party members were compressed more and more densely, and the people in front were anxiously waiting for the city gate to be opened, if it weren't for the city gate being too small, they were afraid that they would all surround it to help excavate.
The ones who fought behind were losing and retreating, waiting for a strong army to gather behind them to help.
It seems that he is the commander-in-chief, but he has lost the command of this army, because in this case, he can't get to the front, how can he command? The soldiers are separated, and there is only chaotic fighting. It's out of control.
It is really not a simple matter to effectively organize tens of thousands of people in this primitive era of communication. It's not a word of the main general in the romance book, it seems that all the generals can hear it. It's whimsical.
Therefore, in wartime, the general order cannot be issued more often, and the plan for the future cannot be changed. As for how powerful the "Bagua Array" and "Nine Gate Golden Lock Array" are in the romance script, the artistic processing exceeds reality. The real so-called formations, such as the "Mandarin Duck Formation" of the Qi Family's Army, are actually a kind of mutual combat cooperation in the grassroots structure of the troops, that is, how several people cooperate with each other, not what kind of formation the army puts to resist the enemy.
The formation of the large army, one is close and neat, the advance and retreat are well-founded, the second is the right and the odd, the third is the escort of the left and right flanks, and the fourth is the supply of the rear army.
"I reported to the public, but I didn't see Wei Mingrenming appear in front of the battle."
"Xianggong, I don't see the golden armor."
"Report! I don't see the party boss. ”
Zheng Zhi frowned, and asked, "Zhexianggong, how many soldiers are left outside the North City?" ”
Zhe Keqiu replied: "There are more than 1,000 in the north city, and the most outside the west city, there are 4,000." There were three thousand in the eastern city. ”
Zheng Zhi said anxiously when he heard this: "Folded Xianggong, I miscalculated, and I thought that the party members were most likely to flee back from the West City, followed by the East City and flee to the Liao State. ”
Zhe Keqiu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Beicheng? Where can the party go to Beicheng? Can't get into the desert? ”
"It's into the desert." Zheng Zhi replied firmly, going north is the Kuritsch Desert in Inner Mongolia in the later generations, and beyond the desert is the grassland. Zheng Zhi replied and said: "This place will be handed over to the Folding Xianggong, and now he is leading his troops out of the city to the south, and he will definitely intercept him when Wei Ming Renming leaves the north city." ”
Zhe Keqiu hurriedly said: "Okay, Zheng Xianggong go quickly, you must not let Wei Ming Renming escape again, otherwise I don't know how much trouble there will be in the future." ”
"Folded Xianggong, you can start to talk to the party to go and shout surrender, since Wei Ming Renming wants to run, the army's morale will inevitably be chaotic, and shouting surrender at this time can work." After Zheng Zhi finished speaking, he turned around on his horse, and more than 3,000 horsemen behind him turned their heads and galloped towards the southern city, at this time, only the southern city wall had a gap of twenty steps to get out of the city.
Zhe Keqiu was overjoyed when he heard this, and naturally knew that what Zheng Zhi said was very reasonable, and he saw the left and right commanders, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and pass the order, those who surrender will not be killed, and the party who surrenders on the ground can live." ”
Dozens of soldiers were ordered.
"After the order, all the military and baggage battalions will come forward, prepare ropes to tie them, and those who kneel on the ground will be bound." For military affairs, proficiency is very. Such a matter is no matter how big or small, and it also proves that leading the troops to fight is not as simple as imagined.
"Then send an order to seal all the four gates of Dazhai outside the southern city, and the prisoners will be temporarily imprisoned in Dazhai first."
Things were in order, and the military orders were in order. With such a skilled command and dispatch, Zheng Zhi is also a step behind. That's what happened over decades. If you want to win a war, you don't have to fight in a battle, and such a rigorous character is also an important foundation.
Zheng Zhi crossed the city wall, beat his horse and galloped around the city, and when he arrived at the north of the city, the city gate was not opened.
But he couldn't allow Zheng Zhi to breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly move the rejection horse to the city gate, quickly." ”
The horses outside the city were rejected, and they were originally placed far away, but because there were people guarding the city, the soldiers could not get close. After Zheng Zhi arrived at this time, the first order was to push the horse forward and place it directly in front of the city gate.
When the rejected horse was placed in front of his head, Zheng Zhi shouted again: "Everyone dismount and line up." Only one battalion was left behind. ”
The rejection of horses in front of the city gate was naturally to prevent the enemy from beating horses and rushing out. In the battle of guards, the formation of close infantry is more effective. Leaving another battalion of 500 knights to respond, also in order to prevent that once it can't be defended, Zheng Zhi will also rely on these 500 people to hunt down and kill the fleeing Wei Ming Renming.
