Chapter 356: Attack in turns
readx;
Dashun City in the focus is shaking at the moment!
Liang Yi, the minister of the Western Xia state, was full of confidence and was bound to go all out to take Dashun City, and then break through Gyeongju and rise to the northwest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info.
As soon as he arrived at the city of Dashun, before he could completely stabilize himself, Liang Yibury launched a fierce attack. If you want to capture the city, you must first take the people, and shock the defenders of Dashun City from the momentum, it is best to let them scare their courage, and the attack will be easier. Of course, it's best to attack suddenly, because if the opposing defenders are unprepared, it will be very cost-effective to succeed in one fell swoop.
At the same time, Liang Yibury also has ideas, this time the victory is one thing, the most important thing is to win beautifully. To salvage one's own reputation within the Western Xia, and at the same time to restore the reputation of the Western Xia throughout the Northwest, personal goals and national interests were perfectly blended. Therefore, Dashun City must be won, it is best to take it as soon as possible, and it is best to be wonderful in terms of ways and means, then everything will become perfect.
At the same time, Liang Yibury is also worried about long nights and dreams, because such things are really common. Quick solutions, fewer variables, can also be a lot more reassuring.
Liang Yibury This can be regarded as learning the lesson of the last time, but the lesson does not seem to be enough, at least not comprehensive. For example, in terms of quick success, it seems that it is difficult for him to change for a while.
The Great Tent of the Chinese Army in Western Xia was located five miles outside the city of Dashun, which was a relatively reasonable distance, and it was very convenient to command the former enemy to fight, and at the same time, there was no need to worry about being attacked by others. To be honest, Liang Yibury was also worried that if there was a sneak attack by the Song army, it would be troublesome. The last time Dashun City was surrounded by regiments, in the end, Lin Zhao, Xu Xi, and Liu Changzuo still led the army to kill it. Although there are not many people to say, it is those hundreds of people who have created a very complicated situation.
Now Xu Xi has been killed by Li Fugui in Dashun City, Liu Changzuo is stationed in Liyuan Fort, and Lin Zhao is in Dashun City. In case this kid has a whim, he will be in big trouble if he doesn't pay attention to something.
I don't know why, although Liang Yi's desire for revenge is very urgent, but when he heard Lin Zhao's name, he couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably worried, what kind of situation it was, even he couldn't tell it himself.
"Have all the ambushes from Liwon Fort to Gyeongju been arranged?" Liang Yi asked in a deep voice, this is a very important link. If the Song Dynasty reinforcements arrived in time during the siege of Dashun City, the effect would inevitably be greatly reduced, and the siege would lose its meaning, and it would be impossible to continue to hold on.
Dashun City is strong, it can't be captured overnight, and if reinforcements arrive, it may mean that it will be in vain. The momentum came greatly, but in the end it was gone, which is definitely a very shameful thing, and Liang Yibury definitely does not want such a situation.
Last time, because he wanted to capture Dashun City in a hurry, he withdrew the ambush troops in the area of Liyuan Fort, so that Li Fugui led the army to kill at the last moment. Of course, a more important reason is that Lin Zhao and the others held on to Dashun City, which made his onslaught plan fail.
The plan to send troops to attack this time was very important, and there was no room for the slightest mistake, so Liang Yibury was extremely cautious. He also deliberately mobilized an army to lie in ambush in the vicinity of Liwon Fort and the outskirts of Gyeongju, and even stationed in Zhengdaguang, just to guard against reinforcements coming out of Gyeongju. It is better to give yourself enough time and a good environment to besiege and attack Dashun City. It is best to storm the city in one go and achieve the predetermined goal.
Calmly and unhurriedly, it is a matter of time to capture Dashun City step by step, and revenge is also within reach. Liang Yibury even imagined that it would be best to capture Lin Zhao alive when he captured Dashun City, and then slowly torture him, playing with him little by little, so that it would be interesting, it would be too cheap to kill him with one knife.
At least in the matter of hating Lin Zhao, Liang Yi's mentality has been slightly deformed. The situation of several encounters did not seem to be so serious, but the anger in Liang Yi's heart was completely beyond imagination.
"Don't worry, it's been arranged!" The generals who went out with the army this time were all close to the generals, so there was no need to worry about the situation that General Yeli had a lot of complaints and was not very cooperative last time. But it also means that the victory is certainly the credit of Liang Yibury, but if he fails, the responsibility is completely his, and he can't shirk it at all.
In order to support her younger brother, Empress Dowager Liang did everything possible to provide the greatest convenience. In this case, if Liang Yi still has nothing to gain, then it really can't be said.
It is precisely because of this that the pressure on Liang Yi's burial is naturally not small. Sometimes the more you care, the easier it is to rush for quick success, especially if you want to succeed too much, or if you are carried away by hatred. Unfortunately, these two situations happened to Liang Yiburi together, and many times the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. So to a certain extent, some of the practices of the Empress Dowager Liang are still too doting.
Many times, spoiling only harms a child, even a big child who thinks he is mature!
"Li Fugui, when he came from Gyeongju to rescue Daeshun City, the only way to go through Liwon Fort, right? Is there any other path? "Liang Yibury reconfirmed the situation, and the key issue must be confirmed clearly.
"Yes, it's the most direct route, and it's the most critical. As long as Dashun City is conquered, Liyuan Fort will be in danger, and it will not be able to resist for long, and then you can directly attack the city of Gyeongju. It's just that...... It's just that it may not be easy to capture Gyeongju, and it will take a lot of effort. ”
Li Fugui quickly gave an answer, perhaps at the beginning he did not completely fall to Western Xia, nor was he loyal. But in dealing with Lin Zhao, he and Liang Yibury had the same demands, so they were very cooperative. It's just that he inevitably thinks about problems a little narrowly, and he was only the governor of Gyeongju before, so all the ideas he knows and considers are limited to Gyeongju.
Stereotyped thinking kills people, and Li Fugui is likely to have stepped into this circle. But he wasn't the only one who might have killed him in the end......
Gyeongju was the front line of the northwest defense of the Song Dynasty, an important city in the core position, and the state of the city defense was naturally not said, and it could even be said to be impregnable. What's more, there are still a large number of defenders led by Wang Shao in the city, and it is very difficult to capture the city. If there is an internal response in the city, it may be easy to combine the inside and the outside. Throughout the ages, the most feared thing in siege warfare is that the opponent has annihilation in the city, and the combination of inside and outside is the most terrible strategy. For a city, as long as the city is relatively strong, with sufficient soldiers and supplies, it is really not small to simply want to break through Nandou from the periphery
In war, it is very common to send annihilators, buy the generals in the city, or send your own soldiers into the city through special methods. Digging tunnels, using rivers, swindling, or such as Trojan horses, can be said to do everything they can, with the sole purpose of breaking the city.
It's just that the Song Dynasty is very strict about this aspect, and the arrangement and preparation of the Western Xia are also very limited, so it is possible to praise this aspect for the time being.
For them, the only way to do this is to attack by force. However, the price to be paid for the assault and the time it took were really a lot, and when Li Fugui said this, Liang Yibu also had to admit that the current idea of attacking Gyeongju seemed to be a little premature. But don't worry, let's watch first. Even if Gyeongju cannot be captured, the presence of troops under the city is a great deterrent.
"Prime Minister, in fact, it's best for us to surround and send reinforcements." Such a proposal was made by a Western Xia general, who, in his opinion, was the most elite cavalry, and the cavalry was good at field warfare on the plains. On the contrary, they are not very good at attacking fortified cities, and they can't play their due strength.
In that case, why not play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, and why waste your troops and unnecessary sacrifices on two fortified cities? It's really worth the loss, and it's not cost-effective.
Liang Yi buried and said: "The people of the Song Dynasty will definitely think of it on the way to ambush the soldiers, and they are so precautionary that they can't work at all, so there is nothing possible in this regard." At least they haven't sent reinforcements yet, and the ambush hasn't been successful. ”
Such a general is very helpless, you ambushed the troops with great fanfare from the beginning, and clearly told the people of the Song Dynasty that I would intercept and kill you halfway, and the people of the Song Dynasty naturally had precautions. Where is this ambush, it is simply a threat, a deterrent in disguise. In the end, it is a nondescript appearance, and it plays a role......
Liang Yibury really thought so, the ambush soldiers could not hide from the Song Dynasty at all. The surname Suo told you directly, so that you would be afraid, and then he could calmly make arrangements in Dashun City.
Really...... I don't know what I thought at first, I was so arrogant. But even if this is the case, there is no solution......
The Western Xia general continued: "Prime Minister of the State, we can withdraw the ambush troops on the way, besiege the city of Dashun without attacking, and attract the army of the Song Dynasty to come to the rescue. And then right here, under the city of Dashun, a direct decisive battle with their main force. In this way, the power of my Xixia Iron Cavalry will be brought into play, and the results will definitely be very good. ”
In fact, this is also a good idea, in the eyes of the Western Xia generals, the biggest purpose of sending troops is to annihilate as much Song troops as possible and expand the results of the war. Striving for more benefits for the Western Xia Kingdom is the first place.
A small Daesun city is nothing, Gyeongju is the key. One of the great advantages of the Song Dynasty people, or the high city wall, led them outside the city, the Song people did not rely on it, and their strength was relatively weak. The plain field battle is the advantage of the Western Xia iron cavalry, and the strength increases and decreases, and the difference is still very large, and it will inevitably get twice the result with half the effort.
And in his opinion, this matter is very big and easy to do.
But a lot of times,
How things should develop is not entirely theoretical, but has a lot to do with the mindset of the decision-makers and some practical reasons.
Can Liang Yibury listen to persuasion? The general felt that his opinion was very pertinent, as long as the minister of state adopted it, it would not be difficult to win, and it would be a great achievement at that time.
But Chen Qiao, who was standing on the side, smiled coldly in his heart, the generals of Western Xia were very loyal to the country, which was a good thing. But they didn't notice the mentality of the prime minister at all, what was the reason why Liang Yibury sent troops?
Dashun City is his first target, just because his great enemy Lin Zhao is there!
Although Liang Yibu was somewhat aware of it, he knew that the national interest was the most important, and the strategic significance of attacking Dashun City and Gyeongju had been handed over to the Empress Dowager Liang.
If that's all he wants, maybe he'll take it. But Liang Yibury is very stubborn, he prefers to link the matter of national merit and personal revenge, and it is best to merge and solve it together, that is the best, the best of both worlds.
Therefore, it is the most wonderful thing to break through Dashun City and capture Lin Zhao, and the combination of the two things. Liang Yibury is a relatively idealistic person, and he believes that this is the best way, and naturally he will not change it easily.
Even if a large number of Song troops were annihilated under the city of Dashun City, but Dashun City was still standing, how to capture Lin Zhao? How to get shamed? If you can't do that, it's not fun at all. If you don't wash away the shame of the past, how can you hold up your head and be a man in the future?
Liang Yibu shook his head lightly and said: "Forget it, as long as Dashun City is captured, Gyeongju has no danger to defend, and our chances are still very good."
As for the matter of encircling the point to send reinforcements, it is good to attack it unprepared, if it can attract the Song army to come to the rescue, presumably Wang Shao will not be fooled. Moreover, when the time comes, we will have a decisive battle with the Song army under the city, and if the defenders in Dashun City are killing out, if the inside and the outside should be combined, we will be attacked by the enemy, so we must not dare to be so careless. ”
So the Western Xia generals were very helpless, and the officials were crushed to death, not to mention the queen mother's own brother, Liang Yi, the uncle and minister of the country, who made such a decision, how could he question it casually? Since you have been told, you will do it when the time comes. It's just that we have to give up a lot of opportunities for no reason, and I don't know how long the war will drag on, not to mention the delay of fighters, and the resulting crises are gradually increasing, which inevitably makes people a little disappointed.
But what's the solution? All it could be was a helpless sigh and a silent prayer!
Chen Qiao saw it in his eyes, and his heart was already like a mirror. It's hard to say how the battle will develop, maybe Western Xia has a chance to win. However, with Liang Yi's current situation, it seems to be a little difficult to achieve a major victory......
Anyway, what does it matter to me whether I win or lose? Anyway, there is no deep hatred between me and Lin Zhao. Even if there is a grudge, what can it be? Revenge is definitely more important than life.
However, Li Fugui and Liang Yibury didn't seem to have figured out this problem, and they didn't care about their surnames and the overall situation in order to take revenge. So that many things are destined to be reckless, and they are destined to lead to very serious consequences because of some inappropriate things. The lesson from the past was not long ago, but they did not seriously reflect on it at all, and acted according to the original surname as always......
There is nothing left to be nostalgic in Dashun City, and it won't be long before this place will be a purgatory on earth, and it is necessary to find a way to leave early. Go to the Western Regions to be your own rich man, stay away from these fights and killings, and live a peaceful life.
Liang Yizhu glanced at Li Fugui beside him, this guy also wanted to escape, but there was too much infatuation and expectation in his eyes. In the final analysis, Li Fugui still misses the former powerful and powerful sons, and is full of hope for power and a rich life. Going to the Western Regions, he was a little worried about the unknown life, and even a little scared. At least he is still looking forward to Liang Yiburying the capture of Dashun City and killing Lin Zhao, and he himself can take revenge.
Can a hint of revenge be more important than a surname? The reason why Liang Yibu is so firm and insists on capturing Dashun City is also a very important aspect is also the instigation of a Li Fugui. Liang Yizhu felt that with Li Fugui, the former governor of Gyeongju, many situations could be well understood, and the victory was in his hands.
Is that so? Chen Qiao secretly snorted coldly in his heart, Li Fugui still knew how many catties and taels he had. As for the future path, going to the Western Regions is indeed an unknown life, but what can you do if you stay? All his life, he is a prisoner, and he is a pawn used by others, although his life will be in danger, what is there to be nostalgic for?
Since this is the case, then it's up to you, Chen Qiao felt that he should have made a plan early......
"What is the situation in Gyeongju? Did Wang Shao have any reaction? Liang Yi asked in a deep voice, the name Wang Shao was a little unfamiliar to him and to the entire Western Xia, so he couldn't grasp whether this new scholar was easy to deal with.
"Gyeongju is still quite calm at present, because we have an ambush in Liyuan Fort, Wang Shao does not dare to attack, and he has been holding his troops still! I heard that he also shrank his defense, and I think he is afraid of us. ”
What does it mean? Is this guy really so timid? But this is just right, and I can be more calm.
Liang Yiburi's eyes involuntarily fell on Li Fugui, and the meaning was already very clear, it was to ask him for information about Wang Shao. After all, so far, he is the only one who has had contact with Wang Shao, especially the one who has fought him. Therefore, his views and understandings are also crucial and can be used as a reference.
Li Fugui and Wang Shao only had a brief confrontation, because they were paralyzed and careless, they were suddenly attacked by Wang Shao, and then fled in embarrassment. Subsequently, Wang Shao suppressed the rebels with iron and blood, and firmly controlled Gyeongju in his hands.
In this incident, Li Fugui was very embarrassed, and there was a lot of embarrassment in the process. But he loves face, and he wants to save face and suffer the crime, saying that Wang Shao is very strong? Weak yourself? How did he say it, who has always been arrogant? Even if he has fallen to Western Xia now, he still needs face.
"Last time, I was just careless and was attacked by him. Wang Shao is just a scholar in the end, it may be okay to study and take the Jinshi exam, but I am afraid that leading troops to fight is a layman! Li Fugui said: "Otherwise, there has been no reaction from the Gyeongju side so far, he is eighty percent of the six gods and has no master, and he doesn't know how to deal with it." It must be to ask Han Jiang and obey the dispatch. In this way, the cooperation between the Gyeongju garrison is bound to be untimely and uncoordinated, which is a good opportunity for Liang Guoxiang. ”
"A good opportunity, naturally you can't miss it!" Liang Yibury immediately ordered: "Immediately launch an attack on Dashun City, attack in turn, day and night!" (To be continued.)
