372 Goal: Recovering the Western Section of the Great Wall (2)
Han Shizhong had a Chihuahua's expression on his face, and then said with a flattering smile: "Dashuai, this, this, although they were shot by stray arrows, but it can be regarded as the military merit of the last general, the last general fought with them, so that the crossbowmen could aim at these bastards and shoot them, if there was no last general to fight with those animals, how could those crossbowmen shoot them?" The last general also has a military merit in it! ”
Yue Fei rolled his eyes: "Yes, you have military merits, this marshal will write it down for the time being, and after the war is over, we will report to His Majesty to determine what you deserve, okay, get out!" ”
Han Shizhong looked confused: "Isn't there a reward?" ”
Yue Fei smiled helplessly: "That's the sergeant's reward, you are the main general, the main general is counted as military merits, and after the war is over, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be fighting with the sergeant for money?" Do you want that old face of yours?! ”
Han Shizhong was extremely depressed, opened his mouth, didn't know what to say, and finally sighed, lowered his head, and left the handsome tent, Zhang Xian's old face next to Yue Fei was flushed, obviously ashamed that he had such a subordinate: "Dashuai, Han Shizhong is ......" Zhang Xian was stopped by Yue Fei before he finished speaking: "Han Shizhong is a rare general, and he has the potential to become a commander, but his temperament is too jumpy, and he needs to be tempered to make it more calm."
Don't worry, Han Shizhong is talented, I won't blame you for anything, as for the rest, after taking Luyi Fort, the next step is to attack in the direction of Lushui, beyond the direction of Lushui is the Great Wall, and along the Great Wall all the way to the west, you can reach Xingqing Mansion, and there are not many dangers along the way, they are all the roads that have been walked. You go and get ready, and march to Lushui tomorrow. ”
Zhang Xian clenched his fists and obeyed: "The last general will obey!" ”
Yue Fei turned around and looked at the whole map of the northwest hanging on his handsome account. Touching the section of the Great Wall that stretched to Xingqing Mansion, five years ago. He led the army along this section of the Great Wall to Xingqing Mansion, but unfortunately failed, this time, he came back, with a more powerful army, this time, he will not give the party a chance again.
That night, Yue Fei ordered the whole army to prepare, with Zhang Xian and Qin Feng's army of 10,000 as the vanguard. Attack the party defenders on the first line of Lushui, break it, and then cross Lushui, launch an attack on the party defenders on the first line of the Great Wall, after crossing the Great Wall, the soldiers are divided into two roads, all the way he led himself, from the direction of Youzhou in Longzhou to Xingqing Mansion, all the way to Zhang Xian as the main general. From Hongzhou Yanzhou to Xiping Mansion, an important party town, and then turned north to attack Xingqing Mansion, the two armies met in Xingqing Mansion.
Although Xiping Mansion is also an important party town, it is for the capital of Xingqing Mansion. Xiping Mansion is still slightly second, Yue Fei thinks that the party people will not be attacked in the capital of Xingqing Mansion and at the same time send heavy troops to assist in the defense of Xiping Mansion, so. Lingzhou, which has been lost for a hundred years, Yue Fei is also bound to win.
Most of the western section of the Great Wall is in the territory of Western Xia. After the army regained the northern section of the Great Wall, the western section of the Great Wall was completely closed. It was an imperative move of the Great Song Dynasty, Yue Fei chose to march on two routes, take the Great Wall at the same time, and then deal a devastating blow to the heart of the party people, and the party army that lost its main combat effectiveness would definitely not be the opponent of the elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.
After Renduo Baozhong lost the defeat of Luyi Fort, he thought that if he fled back like this, he would definitely lose his life, and if he wanted to save his life, he would have to win at least one battle, and then pretend to be sick and force the court to have to change generals, after all, he was over seventy years old, and the court would definitely not bear to behead himself, that was the chance to live.
Therefore, Renduo Baozhong was stationed on the front line of Lushui, guarding Lushui, recruiting defeated soldiers, gradually gathering more than 10,000 defeated soldiers, reinvigorating, integrating part of the military strength of the border troops, and re-calling the Song army.
Yue Fei, who knew the reality of the party, knew that the number of the party's army was no longer enough to continue to compete with the Song army, and now it was estimated that it was just a bluff, once this party's army was eaten, the party's court would definitely be shocked, and in the face of the rapid advance of the Song army, they would panic and not be able to come up with reliable defensive measures, which was even more unbearable than the Song-Xia battle a few years ago.
There are many people in the Great Song Dynasty, and those who die rise, and there are few party members, and they can't afford to die.
This is Yue Fei's biggest reliance.
On June 19, the fourth year of Jingkang, Zhang Xian led the elite of the Qin Feng army to confront Renduo Baozhong on the front line of Lushui, Renduo Baozhong put out a bow and crossbow array to suppress the Song army to cross the river, Zhang Xian quickly sprinted with super cavalry, with Han Shizhong as the vanguard, the cavalry quickly rushed through the arrow array to the opposite bank, killing Renduo Baozhong by surprise, the fierceness of the Song army was more terrifying than back then, and the thinking stayed in the twenty years ago Renduo Baozhong was very unaccustomed.
Twenty years ago, it was the era of the great eunuch Li Xian, the strength of the Western Army was not as good as the Western Army of the Tong Guan era, and the Western Army of the Tong Guan era was far inferior to the Western Army of the Yue Fei era now.
The elite cavalry of Qin Fengjun is the real elite who have survived the battle with the Jurchens' real swords and real guns, where can this group of people under Renduo Baozhong be compared? The morale of the Dangxiang army was low, and it was impossible to compete with the Song army at all, it was very intuitive, the Dangxiang army was defeated again, and it was defeated, and Renduo Baozhong once again exerted his superpower of running and escaped, but this time, the rest of the Western Xia army did not have such good luck.
Zhang Xian beheaded more than 13,000 party members, captured more than 5,000 people, and annihilated this party army, so far, more than 40,000 party expeditionary forces were annihilated, and the Song army broke through the Song-Xia border in one fell swoop, and once again jumped into the field.
Renduo Baozhong never had the idea of fighting with the Song army again, and took advantage of the gap between the Song army's siege of the city and the village, rushed back to the nest of Xingqing Mansion and excused himself.
As soon as Rinda Baozhong fled back, the news of the defeat of the whole army could not be concealed, the party and the court were in a panic, the already stormy government was even more fragile, the ministers of civil and military affairs were in a mess, the big men of 20 years ago were defeated, and none of the young generals who set off together came back, so how many people can take on the big responsibilities now?
Li Qianshun was already in poor health, frightened, sick in bed again, although the Cao family was in charge, but it was established under the acquiescence of Li Qianshun, Li Qianshun fell ill again, the Cao family suddenly lost the backbone, plus Renduo Baozhong, her biggest reliance was defeated, she has completely six gods and no master, and there is no way at all......
In the midst of the chaos, some party ministers who were still sober put forward the most pertinent suggestions.
The Song army is powerful and invincible, the best way now is to send someone to sue for peace, after all, it is the war we provoked first, so we can only sue for peace, whether it is in various places or indemnities, we must promise the Song army, otherwise Yue Fei's killing god will kill us, and we will all die! At the same time, the Dangxiang courtiers also launched an attack on the Han courtiers.
That's what you guys said to attack first while the Song army was unprepared, what is invincible, this is invincible? That's what you're up to? This is the wisdom of your Han people? Do you want to be so direct? The ministers of the imperial family first opened fire on the Han courtiers and began a fierce criticism meeting, regardless of Cao's identity as a Han Chinese.
Cao's face is very bad, but there is nothing to be done, those Han courtiers are also very helpless, they are out of their own interests, they are the rebellion of the Song, once the Song is strong to attack the Western Xia, the Western Xia government will definitely abandon them, or once the Western Xia government is destroyed, they will all die without a place to be buried, and the Song will not let them go.
So after the Song people defeated the Jurchens and returned to the top, they felt a deep threat, the Song army would come to attack them sooner or later, and the strength of the party army was greatly depleted, and it could no longer hold a protracted war.
But now they took the initiative to attack and failed, the Song general Yue Fei is too strong, 40,000 troops are not enough for him to eat, according to the information brought by Renduo Baozhong, the Song army of 100,000 has entered the territory of Western Xia and began to attack, when he returned from the defeat of Lushui, the Song army has not yet begun to march, and now it must have begun to march.
The ministers of the party and the Xiang clan strongly demanded peace for their own interests, and gave the Han courtiers who fought the main battle and Renduo Baozhong, the general of the defeated army, to the Song army, as a bargaining chip for peace, even if it was to cut off the emperor's title and call Song the minister, Li Qianshun who was lying on the hospital bed was no longer in their scope of consideration, and they also believed that the Cao family's rule was the reason for the failure of the Great Xia battle, and they demanded that the Cao family hand over the power and return the government to the emperor, and they would write to the emperor to set up auxiliary ministers to take charge of state affairs.
The Han courtiers strongly demanded that the Cao family continue to fight for their own interests, and they reminded the Cao family openly and secretly, you are also a Han Chinese, and your grandfather is also a traitor to the Song Dynasty. Anyway, we think it will, as long as the party members surrender, Song is unlikely to kill them, and the possibility of pacification is very great, but you are different, we are not the same, we are not the same as Song, we are all traitors of Song, we will all be miserable!
We are both prosperous and lossy, so we must firmly hold the political power and military power, and we must not let go, but also strengthen the control of the emperor Li Qianshun, so that he can not become the arm of the party's ministers, we can tie up the party and the Western Xia government, even if they are defeated, we can also pull them to accompany the funeral, they now want to sacrifice us in exchange for peace, can we accept it?
After all, we are still Han Chinese! (To be continued.) )
