What the Zhao Guanjia thought, Huang Jie couldn't guess, but after arriving at the wounded barracks of the Daimyo Mansion and seeing the disabled soldiers of the Imperial Car Army, Huang Jie was angry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the base camp of the rear, and it was the line of the prince of the current dynasty, at least four huge camps were built in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and east of the Daimyo's mansion.

The four camps have a clear division of labor, the south is responsible for the distribution of materials for the Northern Expedition, the north is the station of the Long Guard Army of the prince's army, the west is the camp for rotating guest troops in various places, and the east is the wounded barracks for dealing with the wounded on the front line.

When Huang Jie arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, the crown prince Zhao Heng happened to return to the court to report on his work, and Cai You, another senior member who was responsible for guarding Xingyuan, did not have enough friendship with Huang Jie, so it was naturally impossible to give any face.

Huang Jie was not polite to them, and after a little greeting, he also went straight to the wounded barracks, but when he really saw the wounded soldiers in the camp, he was still so angry that his face was red.

First of all, there are not many wounded soldiers in this wounded barracks, about 5,000, and the wounded in the Royal Car Army replied that there are more than 2,000, counting the battle losses of more than 3,000 people that Yue Fei carefully reported in the morning, that is, in the Northern Expedition last year, the dissatisfied Royal Car Army lost as many as 5,000 people.

And when I take a closer look now, I find that there are at least fifty or sixty old Huangzhou guards among the wounded soldiers, and there are only two hundred people in the teaching of the imperial chariot army back then, which shows how huge the losses are.

After some inspection, Huang Jie took out Qiu Ning, the captain of Huangzhouwei who was hiding and didn't dare to see anyone, as the commander of the teaching capital, and only he could explain the loss of the imperial car army this time.

As soon as Qiu Ning pulled out the wounded soldier and threw it into the hotel, Huang Jie also said with a tiger face: "What are the causes and consequences, you just have to speak up!" ”

When Qiu Ning heard this, the tiger's eyes instantly turned red as blood, and he knelt down on one knee and said: "Young master, it's not that his subordinates and brothers are afraid of death, it's really that the lord will be incompetent and exhaust the three armies......"

On the sixteenth day of the winter month of the second year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, the Song army swore to attack Liao again under the city of Bazhou, among which the rear army was stationed in Bazhou, and Wang Yu led the front army with the Wutai army, Yang Weizhong led the left army, Han Jinbao led the right army, and Liu Yanqing led the Chinese army to respond.

After sending troops, Wang Yu led the front army directly into Xijin Mansion, Yang Weizhong led the left army to attack Fanyang, Han Jinbao led the right army to attack Yongqing Ceying, and Liu Yanqing's Chinese army followed behind Wang Yu to first besiege Gu'an (the city is between Fanyang and Yongqing) and then went north to support.

Then the Liao army was detecting the movements of the Song army, first only sent a few distant sentry sentries, and then put on a posture of comprehensive defense, and directly let the Song army drive straight in, and Wang Yu's troops arrived at the city of Xijin Mansion on the afternoon of the 19th day of the winter month. Wang Yu is also an old and serious general, after arriving at Xijin Mansion, he did not dare to support a strong attack when he looked at the Liao army waiting for the head of the city, so he set up camp five miles southwest and six miles southeast in front of the city, waiting for Liu Yanqing's Chinese army to arrive.

At noon on the twentieth day of the winter month, Liu Yanqing's vanguard of the Chinese army also arrived at the city, but when the soldiers of the two divisions were about to prepare for the victory and cheer, a heavy cavalry unit of the Liao army suddenly appeared like a ghost, attacked the rear team of Liu Yanqing's department and the baggage troops at the tail, which immediately caused huge casualties to the Song army, and the siege equipment transported by the baggage troops was damaged by more than seventy percentIn this battle, the Song army killed 3,200 people on the spot, wounded more than 2,000, and the loss of grain and grass is difficult to remember.

However, due to Wang Yu's more stable reasons, the camp he built under the city also withstood the two strong attacks of the Liao army, and finally in the case of insufficient grain and grass, insufficient siege equipment, and no one to cover the left and right roads, he could only change the front army to the rear army to cover Liu Yanqing's retreat to Fanyang and Yang Weizhong.

After resting for about ten days, after Han Jinbao's troops captured Yongqing and moved their troops to the vicinity of Gu'an, the three armies formed a line and advanced to the city of Xijin Mansion again.

According to the description of the battle report and Qiu Ning's explanation, the battle situation at that time was that the imperial car army first besieged the city for three days, and then on the fourth day, it used a round of vehicle-mounted bed crossbow to the city gate building of the south gate of Yongqing to shoot at a saturated approach, and the Yongqing city guard and more than ten subordinate generals and team generals were shot on the spot, and then sent three hundred light soldiers to attack the city directly by climbing the bed crossbow giant arrow nailed to the head of the gun, and finally struggled to open the city gate after paying more than 100 casualties. Then Lin Chong personally led 1,500 imperial chariot cavalry into the city, and after fighting for three hours, he also cleared the Liao army in the city and completely captured the city.

Besides, after the three armies formed a line, the formation chosen was Liu Yanqing in the center, Wang Yu on the left, Han Jinbao on the right, and Yang Weizhong because he failed to capture Fanyang, so he could only continue to besiege the city in place to prevent the defenders of Fanyang from going out of the city to attack the grain route of the Song army and cut off the retreat.

After the three armies advanced again, although the Liao army repeatedly sent medium-sized cavalry units to intercept them, because the Song army steadily advanced slowly in formation, it did not give the other side an advantage.

In the end, the Song army arrived at the city of Xijin Mansion again at noon on the second day of the lunar month, and the total strength of the three armies also reached 80,000 people. Among them, Liu Yanqing's 40,000 Chinese troops were the majority, Wang Yu's 21,000 troops were second, and Han Jinbao's 18,000 imperial chariot troops were at the bottom.

At this time, whether it was the seed master Dao, or Han Jinbao and Wang Yu, they all suggested that they once again put on a steady and steady turtle formation, first encircle the Xijin Mansion on three sides, and then rely on the city to build a camp, dig trenches to prevent the Liao army from attacking, besiege it for a few months, and wait until the spring of the next year to attack the city.

However, Liu Yanqing was eager to make contributions, and sent Tong Guan to the Song army's military order to quickly attack the city as a basis, and only five days after the siege of the city, the Song army's siege camp had just been built, and the soldiers had not been able to breathe a breath before they forced the siege of the city.

Moreover, when he commanded Wang Yu and Han Jinbao to send a small number of men and horses to arch the east and west gates, he himself pressed all the 30,000 horses in the 40,000 army to the south gate, wanting to learn Han Jinbao's way of conquering Yongqing, and break through the Xijin Mansion with one guy.

But this time, Liu Yanqing obviously hit an iron plate, this battle and the Song army may be a glorious battle to recover the lost territory, but for the Liao army guarding Xijin Mansion, it is a battle of life and death whether to survive the country or not, defeat and extinction.

Early in the morning of the siege, Liu Yanqing's troops used bed crossbows, whirlwind cannons, thunderbolt cannons (manpower catapults) and other siege equipment to bombard the southern city of Xijin Mansion indiscriminately, and by noon, they broke through three outer walls of the urn city at the south gate and destroyed six city walls. In the afternoon, the Song army attacked with drums and sent six batches of 2,000 light and heavy infantry soldiers each to attack the city.

However, the Liao army's will to resist in the city was even more tenacious and resolute, not only driving down the Song army that had rushed to the wall three times, but also causing more than 5,000 casualties to the attacking Song army. The two sides fought until dusk and could not distinguish the winner, and the Song army could only withdraw its troops and prepare to fight again at a later date.

But that night, the Liao army, which had already been exhausted after a hard day's defense, still had the spare strength to send a night attack force, and even bypassed the layers of cover of the Song army's outpost to detect the night, and directly appeared in the rear of Liu Yanqing's department, and successfully carried out a fire attack, burning more than 10,000 Song troops on the spot, and burning a large amount of grain, grass, ordnance and siege equipment.
