Chapter 446: The Battle of Tong'an City (Part II)

Chinese To paraphrase the common saying of the sentence, the Song and Xia armies that fought again only killed the sky and the earth, flying sand and stones, and the sun and moon were dark. v o d t . c o m

For a time, the two armies were indistinguishable from each other, and the tragic bloodshed on the battlefield can be imagined.

The war can not be won by virtue of blood and bravery, slowly, the disadvantages of the Song army after marching all the way began to be revealed, the Western Xia army is waiting for work, the advantage is becoming more and more obvious, and constantly launching new attacks, Xiao Heda led the elite cavalry to repeatedly attack Liu Fa's army, and the Xia army contained the left and right armies under Liu Fa's command from both wings.

The golden red afterglow of the setting sun fell on the battlefield, causing rivers of blood to flow all over the place, and the colors on the ground became more and more terrifying.

The battle continued, the last afterglow of the setting sun was on the ground, and the two armies of Song and Xia were still fighting in the dark night. Lotte calculated the time, and now it is not far away, and the battle has been going on for nearly seven hours.

In the Song-Xia War, the long duration of this fierce battle is relatively rare in countless large and small battles in the history of the Song-Xia War, which shows that both sides did not retreat in fear, and both fought bravely and did their best.

First of all, the left army Zhu Dingguo was defeated, and the triangular offensive of the left, center and right armies arranged by Liu Fa broke one of them, and it set off a chain reaction, and the Song army could no longer withstand such a vicious battle, and the whole army began to collapse.

At this time, Qu Jin, the general who commanded the right army, galloped to Liu Fa and said loudly and urgently: "Don't delay, the master should not delay, Yang Weizhong will lead the front army to attack, and the last general will lead the master to break the rear!" ”

The defeat was decided, although Liu Fa was unwilling, he had to accept the reality, and after a little thought in his heart, Liu Fa began to lead the army to break through. Lotte is naturally close to Liu Fa.

Soon, the encirclement of the Western Xia army was torn open by the Song army, and Liu Fa took Lotte and a group of remnants of the army to retreat to the southeast at night.

Qu Jin, the right army in charge of the broken rear, saw that the Wuxia army was chasing, looked at the direction of the army's march, rode his horse to Liu Fa's approach, and said, "Dashuai, this road is the road to Gaizhu City!" ”

Liu Fayu immediately said: "The direction of returning to the Zhenwu Army has been cut off, He Guan has received the military order to lead the soldiers on the way to attack Gaizhu City, and our army can meet it and fight again!" ”

Unexpectedly, the first time he operated in the Western Army, he encountered the only defeat in the life of the god general Liu Fa, and Lotte smiled bitterly in his heart. Although I haven't eaten for a day, I feel a little hungry, but it is more important to save my life than exhaustion and hunger, so I have to endure it.

"Tell me to go down and rest!" Seeing Gai Zhucheng from a distance, Liu Fa commanded.

Liu Fa also dismounted, sat on a rock, and sighed: "I have been in the army for 40 years, and I have never experienced such a defeat!" ”

"Liu Shuai doesn't need to blame himself! In the past, Han Gaozu was repeatedly defeated by the overlord of Western Chu, and in the end it was not forced to kill the Yuwujiang River, and then there was a defeat of Shu Han Changbanpo, and the wife of Liu Bei, the lord of Shu, fell into Cao Ying, but after just more than ten years, it still formed the three-legged trend of Wei, Shu and Wu. Lotte quoted the scriptures and said, "My lord has the defeat of yesterday, and he will not have another victory in destroying the summer?" ”

When talking to Liu Fa, Lotte raised his eyes and looked around, but his face became more and more solemn, and after thinking about it for a while, he slowly said: "Liu Shuai is afraid that he will not only win lightly, but this defeat seems to have another hidden meaning!" ”

Lotte thought about it again, and after a little consideration, he said: "When Xia Guan broke through with Liu Shuai from Tong'an City, I heard Liu Shuai personally say that General He Guan He was on the way to attack Gaizhu City, but now he has not seen the army led by General He, let alone heard that there are other commanders of the Western Army!" ”

Seeing Liu Fa's expression, not only Lotte, but also the accompanying guards were also stunned.

When he came to Gaizhu City and saw the soldiers led by He Guan, Lotte suddenly had an idea in his heart, Liu Fa attacked Tong'an City this time, and even ended up in a big defeat, and the biggest problem may be the time to send troops.

Hearing this, Lotte was also stunned in his heart, he was very taboo about the division of the former dynasty's feudal towns, and the rulers of the Great Song Dynasty had extremely strict control over the command of the army, and would never allow the generals to violate any moderation, let alone use troops in private.

Shaking his head, Liu Fa said slowly: "The strategic intention of our dynasty is to take Tong'an first, and then take Heshuo, the Tangut people have already heard of it, the reason why the old man sent troops in advance is nothing more than to take advantage of the unsuspecting Tangut people to launch a fatal blow to them, but he didn't expect this defeat!" ”

The battle of the plant is called the Battle of Suide, and Lotte naturally doesn't know, but he also knows what the end of the violation is. In the eyes of the rulers of the Song Dynasty, merit is merit or demerit, merit and demerit must not be offset, especially the unauthorized use of soldiers, which is really a taboo in the court.

Having said that, Lotte didn't know how to speak, and Liu Fa was silent.

"Dashuai, the Tangut people have surrounded us!"

I couldn't take care of much, Lotte got up and looked around, and the surprise was immediately spread on his face, only to see in the distance all the Western Xia soldiers holding banners, completely surround their own teams that had retreated from Tong'an City.
