Chapter 770: Great Xia is the only one

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Wei County was lost.

When there was only one day before the New Year, the news spread to the camp of Fanshui Yanyun Army, and this news made everyone's joy of the New Year fade. Since the invasion of Hebei, the Yanyun army has rarely been defeated. Xu Shiji led the troops cautiously but without losing his determination, and when the strength of the Xia army was greatly damaged and morale was low, the Xia army led by Wang Fubao and the Yanyun army never won the attack.

But since the beginning of winter, Wang Fubao led the troops to strictly guard against no longer fighting, and in the cold winter, the offensive of the Yanyun army was also difficult to carry out.

Blind defense was a shame for the Xia army, and it was disgraceful to be forced by the enemy army to go out of the city on the territory of Great Xia. But defense is very beneficial to the Xia army, although the Yan Yun army is not short of food, but the grain road is too long. The weather was bitterly cold, and the marching teams carrying grain were difficult. There was a lot of ice floes on the Yellow River, and the fleet also returned to Juyeze to rest. For the Yan Yun army in Hebei, the difficulties they faced were far greater than those of the Xia army.

Therefore, as long as Wang Fubao does not fight, he is consuming the combat power of Yan Yunjun.

Whether it is from Xingluocang or Liyang warehouse to transport grain, there are thousands of miles away. Such a long grain road, along the way consumed is a large amount of money. Based on the calculation of thousands of people protecting grain, from Xingluocang to Hebei, the grain consumed along the way is two or three, and then there is rain and snow in the sky, and the loss is even greater.

Although the road is close to transporting grain from Dongping County, Qi County, and Lu County, across the Yellow River, the boats transporting grain must be cautious when crossing the river.

Everyone thought that this winter would be like this, and Yan Yunjun would wait until the spring was warm before attacking. And Xia Jun also took advantage of the winter to rest and recuperate, accumulating strength to prepare for a counterattack.

But at this time, Wang Fubao's counterattack came.

Although Wei County is a small place, its strategic location is extremely important at this time. Xu Shiji personally led the army to be stationed in the area of Yaocheng in Wei County, Zhang Liang led an army of 100,000 troops to be stationed in the area of Guantao County, and Wang Fubao led the troops to defeat Wei County, which was equivalent to wedge a nail between Xu Shiji and Zhang Liang.

If it weren't for Fanshui and Xue Wanche's army of 50,000, the front of Yan Yunjun's army would have been cut into two sections by Wang Fubao's sword. Xu Shiji and Zhang Liang's people are not in contact, and it is difficult to care for each other.

Fanshui County is only about 100 miles away from Wei County, and when Wei Yong's personal army is Zhao Xiaosan rushing out of the encirclement and rushing to Fanshui, Wei County has already been lost.

Wei Yong was defeated, and nearly 4,000 Yanyun troops were slaughtered.

In this battle, after the Xia army conquered Wei County, there was no one left alive. Nearly 4,000 corpses were thrown from the city wall by the Xia army, and they were discarded in the wilderness outside the city, not buried and ignored. The corpses were frozen as hard as stones outside the city, and became food for lone wolves and wild dogs for the winter.

The person who gave this order was Wang Fubao's righteous son, Wang Yan.

The young general Wang Roar is only seventeen years old, and he is deeply loved by Wang Fubao. Wang Fubao has never married for half of his life, although there is still an inextricable connection between him and Dou Hongxian. However, Empress Cao and Dou Jiande both opposed this family business, and the two of them could only grieve separately. Dou Hongxian was angry and found a nunnery to become a nun and lead the practice. In the middle of the Great Xia Dynasty, she no longer ignored it.

A heroine who has made many achievements on the battlefield is accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green light.

Wang Fubao was loyal to Dou Jiande, although he knew that Dou Jiande did not trust him, but he still shouldered the burden of defending Great Xia.

After Xue Wanche, who was stationed in Fanshui, saw Zhao Xiaosan, he heard him tell him what had happened, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and his face became solemn.

The location of Wei County is indeed very important.

"The Xia army is attacking the city, how many troops are there?"

In the hall of Fanshui County, Xue Wanche leaned over and asked Zhao Xiaosan, who was standing below: "Who is the person who led the troops to attack the city?" ”

"It was too dark, and I saw that the enemy was dressed in white robes, and sneaked under the city wall by hiding his tracks in the snow, and climbed the city wall with hooks and lassoes. Checkmate...... The walls of Wei County are too short! When the humble man came out of the city to ask for help, the Xia army had already attacked the city. It seems that the number of people is no less than tens of thousands...... The general who led the army should be Wang Fubao himself, and the enemy general who led the army to attack the city was not very old, but he didn't know who it was. ”

"Tens of thousands of horses ......"

Xue Wanche frowned slightly, pondered for a while, and said, "You go down to rest, your general is only afraid that he has already died in battle...... Peace of mind, I will avenge your general. ”

"General Xie!"

Zhao Xiaosan wiped a handful of tears, bowed and retreated.

"Dezheng ......"

Xue Wanche looked sideways at the brocade-clothed man standing beside him, frowned slightly and asked, "Tomorrow is the New Year...... If he immediately led the army to counterattack Wei County, I was afraid that the soldiers would have a lot of resistance in their hearts...... But if Wei County is not taken back immediately, the marshal will definitely be displeased. ”

"General"

The person who looks to be virtuous is a thin man who looks like he is in his thirties, dressed in brocade clothes, and obviously has a reputation for himself. But he didn't wear an official uniform, which seemed a little strange.

"I'm thinking, Wang Fubao is really just trying to fight Wei County?"

His name is Cui Qian, the head of the Boling Cui family.

At the beginning, he sent people to Chang'an secretly, intending to return to the Tang Dynasty. Just as Ashina Duoduo led the steppe cavalry south, he had to seek protection. coincided with Xu Shiji leading the army north, and the people he sent felt that it was not easy to go back and forth to Chang'an thousands of miles away, so they simply went directly to see Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji knew the influence of the Boling Cui clan, and if the Cui clan surrendered, it would be much easier to take the land of Hebei, so he sent someone to recruit Cui Qian to serve in the army. Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun were promoted by Xu Shiji because of their meritorious defeat of Dou Jiande, and Xue Wanche was promoted to the rank of general of the fourth rank of Wu Benlang, leading 50,000 troops to be stationed in Fanshui.

……

……

Cui Qian is the head of the world-famous Boling Cui clan, and his influence is by no means limited to the land of Boling County. In the whole of Hebei, including the children of the Cui family who were officials in Great Xia, there were many people. He was able to serve in Yan Yunjun in person, which was definitely a good thing for Yan Yunjun.

Xu Shiji's recruitment of Cui to come to the army was to force Cui's statement. According to reason, the head of the Cui family would never leave Boling so easily. But Cui Qian came, which made everyone feel a little surprised.

Xu Shiji asked the Cui family for an attitude, and the attitude given by the Cui family was obviously unexpected.

Because Cui Qian's identity is a little special, it is not easy for Xu Shiji to arrange a position when he enters the Yanyun Army, so he simply asked him to work in Xue Wanche's army. In the Fanshui Yanyun Army, his status is second only to Xue Wanche.

This person is thoughtful and smart, and Xue Wanche respects him a lot.

"Dezheng, what do you mean?"

Xue Wanche asked.

Cui Qian used to be a general in the Great Sui Army, and once followed the Emperor Yang Guang to conquer Liaodong. Later, he served as an official under Luo Yi of Zhuo County, and once achieved the position of the county guard of Zhuo County. At the beginning of the Great Sui Rebellion, he resigned and went home. Luo Yi was not embarrassed by the huge power of the Boling Cui clan.

Cui Qian walked to the front of the map, pointed to several places where hundreds of thousands of horses and horses were stationed in Yanyun Army, and connected them into a line with charcoal: "The marshal is in Yaocheng, we are in Fanshui, and General Zhang is in Guantao...... Wei County is in the northwest of Fanshui, the closest to Wang Fubao's people. ”

After connecting this line, he glanced at Xue Wanche: "General, look." ”

After this line was drawn, the situation suddenly became clear.

"I see!"

Xue Wanche seems to be straightforward, but in fact he is very scheming, and he understood what Cui Qian meant after just one glance: "Wang Fubao is not Wei County's idea. ”

Cui Qian nodded and said: "Although the location of Wei County is extremely important, once Wei County is lost, the Xia army will rush forward for more than 100 miles, like a nail wedged into the front line of our army. But...... This nail is not wedged deep enough! ”

"Wang Fubao's intention is to cut off the connection between the marshal and General Zhang. But it's still far from being a Wei county ......"

"Attacking Wei County......

Xue Wanche pondered for a while and said, "Lead me to lead the army to rescue, and he will ambush him halfway." If you really want to cut off the connection between Dashuai and General Zhang, I am in the prosperous water...... is what Wang Fubao has to deal with. One Wei County is really not enough...... Wang Fubao is very calculating. ”

He looked at Cui Qian and asked, "Dezheng, have you thought of a strategy to break the enemy?" ”

"If you don't immediately lead the army to recapture Wei County, the morale of the Xia army will definitely be greatly encouraged. And if he hurried over like this, he fell for Wang Fubao's trick to lure the enemy. ”

Cui Qian thought for a while and said, "But after all, we still have to fight." ”

He approached Xue Wanche's side and whispered a few words. Xue Wanche's eyes lit up, and then he nodded vigorously.

……

……

Wei County

On the city wall, Wang Fubao, who was dressed in silver armor, looked at the corpse of Yan Yunjun outside the city, and couldn't help frowning slightly. Dumping the corpses of Yan Yunjun outside the city was the order of his righteous son, Wang Roar. In any case, it would be immoral to do so. Since ancient times, even if the two sides have a deep hatred, there have been few cases of mistreatment of the corpses of enemy soldiers.

There were many prisoners of war killed and few corpses tortured.

"Brave Pioneer"

He looked back at the king who was standing on the side of the god and roared, "Tell me why you did this." ”

"Father."

Wang Yan raised his head, looked into Wang Fubao's eyes and said: "The two armies are fighting, and the corpse is not humiliated, this is the truth since ancient times, but the truth is spoken by people, and talent is the truth." Now the situation is different...... In the past six months, we have been defeated repeatedly, and the soldiers have been almost overwhelmed by the enemy, and the soldiers are even afraid of the enemy. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "If a soldier doesn't have a ruthless heart, how can he have the courage to move forward?" The child did this just so that the soldiers would have the pleasure of revenge. Slaughtering the enemy, discarding the corpses in the wilderness, and letting the wild dogs bite and devour them, the soldiers will see it, and their hearts will be relieved, this is the reason. ”

"The only way to make the soldiers have no fear, to let them know that the enemy is also a human being, and that he has only two hands and two feet, without three heads and six arms. Only then will they summon up the courage to lose their hearts and face the decisive battle...... Courage is the most important thing. ”

"It's a bit extreme."

Wang Fubao shook his head: "Although what you said has some truth, you take it for granted. ”

The corners of Wang Yan's mouth picked, obviously disapproving of Wang Fubao's words. But he still bowed his head and said humbly, "Please teach my father." ”

"You only thought of letting the soldiers relieve their hatred, then did you think of it."

Wang Fubao pointed to the corpses outside the city, and said very seriously: "Will the soldiers think that one day they will be defeated...... Will the enemy treat their corpses like this? If one day they are defeated and the enemy retaliates, will it bring harm to innocent people? Among the people...... There are many of their wives and children. ”

Wang Yan's face changed slightly, but his eyes were still cold and arrogant.

"As long as you don't lose again."

He straightened up, looked at the corpses, and said, "If one day I am truly defeated...... And what about the corpses being trampled by the enemy? Defeat is defeat, where is there any dignity? One of my most disgusting phrases is that despite defeat, it is still glorious...... Since it is defeated, where is there any glory? If you are defeated, why care about that skin? Devoured by wild dogs, pecked by vultures, is the fate of the loser, no need for sympathy. Dignity...... It's always only the winner. ”

Wang Fubao was stunned, but did not speak.

Wang Yan slowly walked to Wang Fubao's side, stood on the edge of the city wall and pointed into the distance and said: "This is the land of Great Xia, and the Yanyun thieves burned, killed and looted in this land, robbing the people, grain, villages, and cities of Great Xia...... Why should we be kind to them? As long as it is an enemy, whether it is a living person or a corpse, he will be punished. ”

He said word by word: "Kindness and mercy are never needed to deal with the enemy. Killing and punishing them is the only way, only to kill all the enemies to fear, to kill them until they dare not move to the idea of invading my Great Xia again, and to kill until even if the army of Great Xia sets foot on their territory, they will not dare to resist...... That's the truth, that's the ...... war."

"Pure war with only blood."

"Why should there be mercy and righteousness toward the enemy? Even a corpse? ”

Wang Fubao muttered and repeated, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh and said, "Maybe you're right." ”

"War doesn't need emotion."

Wang Yan smiled: "Come one person to kill one person, come ten thousand to kill ten thousand people...... Defeat the enemy with killing, and the enemy will not dare to come. Then let's go back, and the enemy will rob us of a grain of grain, and we will rob him of his entire granary. If the enemy kills one of my people, we will slaughter one of his cities. If the enemy destroys an acre of fertile land, we will let him scorch the earth for thousands of miles......"

"If that's the case, Great Xia is the only one!"
