The three prefectures of Lin, Fu and Feng are connected in a line from north to south, backed by the entire Great Song Dynasty, and become the forefront of the Great Song Dynasty's resistance to Xia.
At the beginning of 1o41 AD, the frontier position of the Great Song Dynasty against Xia. The 170,000 army led by Hao, Yuan Hao ordered Zhang Wei, the general of the Han Dynasty under his command, to lead 20,000 infantry soldiers to build a glazed fort in the north of the official road in the southwest of Fengzhou and the south of the Great Wall to resist the reinforcements of the Great Song Dynasty.
On the fifth day of February in 1o41 AD, Zhao Lei led the Song army to Libao.
The glazed fort is built on the northwest peak, including a mountain spring in the fort, and the simple and solid city walls on the southeast side are narrow and gentle slopes.
On the peak four miles west of the glazed fort, Zhao Lei led the generals in the army to gather at the top of the peak, condescendingly peeping at the entire glazed castle with a monocular.
"Yuan Hao is really vicious! Liulibao is three miles away from the official road, the road is tortuous and narrow, the army is impassable, if our army attacks, I am afraid of heavy losses, if you don't attack, such a nail is driven here, sooner or later it will become a big disaster. Wang Deji, who was burly and dark-skinned, stood majestically on the peak in iron armor, looked at the glazed castle under the peak with a telescope, and said in a deep voice of admiration.
Wang Deji is the tiger son of the Jiangmen Wang family, and his brother Wang Deyong and became the double tiger general of the Wangmen, after the "Xiao Like Taizu" turmoil Wang Deyong was demoted, Wang Deji was also demoted to the Daimyo's Mansion. After the official Zhao Zhen restarted Wang Deyong as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Wang Deji also rose to the post of the general of the right Longwu of the forbidden army, commanding the 25,000 forbidden troops of the right Longwu, and this time he served as the reinforcement general of Yan'an Mansion, leading 100,000 soldiers and horses of the four armies of the right Longwu, the right Shenwu, the right Yulin, and the right Xiaowei to reinforce Zhao Lei.
"Yuan Hao not only has a vicious vision, but also uses people quite skillfully, Zhang Wei, the guard of Liulibao, was originally a prisoner of the Ministry of Engineering of my Great Song Dynasty, proficient in civil engineering, and was captured by the Western Xia army after being demoted to Xining Mansion. Later, he was promoted by Yuan Hao to be responsible for the construction of castles around the country, the Xixia castle on the border of Song and Xia, mostly planned and built by Zhang Wei, this person has 20,000 Han foot soldiers, and is the only 20,000 foot soldiers in Western Xia. As the first staff member of Zhao Lei's side, Su Xun knows the Western Xia generals well. After hearing Wang Deji's admiration for Liulibao, he immediately told everyone around him the origin of Zhang Wei, the guard of Liulibao.
"The only Western Xia foot soldier who is good at guarding the land! It's really interesting. You said that if the 20,000 people in Liulibao were wiped out, would Yuan Hao cry sadly! Zhao Lei touched his chin and quipped.
"Is Lord Zhao really ready to storm Liuli Castle?" Hearing Zhao Lei's words, the bearded thirty-year-old military commander Ning Yuan asked Wang Shiyan with some hesitation.
"Lord Zhao think twice! Liulibao is just a clown jumping beam, Lin, Fu, Feng three states is the focus of our army's rescue, if the adults attack Liulibao, not only lose soldiers and horses, but also delay the rescue of the three states, the gain outweighs the loss! Zuo Longwu's general Guo Chengyou also hugged his fists to persuade Zhao Lei to say.
"General Guo is right, Liulibao has 20,000 Xixia foot soldiers. There is no need to be afraid at all, and the 170,000 cavalry in Western Xia attacking Sanzhou is a big disaster, I hope that the adults will think twice before acting! Zuo Yulin's general Zhang Zi stood up and said at this time.
The 180,000 Yan'an Mansion army that went to Sanzhou this time belonged to Zhao Lei's lineage, but there were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Di Qing, Yang Wenguang, Fan Quan, and Zhao Ming. And Wang Deji, Guo Chengyou, and Zhang Zi were all from the Bianjing Forbidden Army, holding 150,000 soldiers and horses of the Forbidden Army, and the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses came from Ningyuan. It was Ning Yuan who commanded the Ning Yuan army under the command of Wang Shijiao.
In the battle of Haoshuichuan, Zhao Lei broke the Western Xia army, but the main credit was swept away by Zhao Lei's lineage, from the praise decree from Bianjing, Yang Wenguang's Qingzhou army, Han Qi's new army, Fan Quan and Zhao Ming's Qiang army and Di Qing's Yanping army are all in front of the holy decree, and the names of the soldiers and horses in other parts of Yan'an Mansion and the three armies of the Praetorian Guard are behind the holy decree, this situation makes the generals of the Bianjing Praetorian Guard family extremely annoyed but there is no way, but with the arrival of Wang De's base, the Praetorian Guard of Yan'an Mansion has changed from the three armies to the seven armies, and the soldiers and horses have reached 175,000 peoplehas become the main force of the Yan'an Mansion, and in this case, the generals of the forbidden army began to secretly connect together, just to snatch the greatest credit, so Wang Deji, Guo Chengyou, and Zhang Zi objected to wasting time in Liulibao.
Wang Deji's thoughts and thoughts Zhao Lei knows very well, the generals of the Great Song Dynasty don't want to take a big credit, but then again, the ability of the Bianjing Forbidden Army, others don't know, Zhao Lei, who was the commander of the new army of the forbidden army
, Compared with the fierce border army, the forbidden army is weak like a child, and it is okay to fight and defend the city, once the field attack is tough with the Western Xia army, it would be good if the five forbidden troops could withstand one of the Western Xia, so the forbidden army did not make much effort in the battle of Haoshuichuan, resulting in the great achievement being taken away by Zhao Lei's lineage.
"Liulibao is located next to the official road of Fengzhou, it is the necessary place for Yan'an to transport materials to Sanzhou, although there are only 20,000 foot soldiers in the fort, but these 20,000 foot soldiers are enough to harass the logistics grain road, if you don't pull out the glass fort, I'm afraid the military food will be lost!" Su Xun also understood the intention of the forbidden army to steal merit, and he also understood Zhao Lei's determination to Liulibao Bike, so he said in a deep voice the importance of Liulibao to everyone around him.
"Lord Zhao can leave an army to monitor the Western Xia army of Liulibao, and the main army will bypass Liulibao and go to Fengzhou." Wang Deji put forward his suggestion and said.
"I wonder if the general is willing to lead his army to stay and monitor the glazed fort?" Zhao Lei smiled indifferently and asked softly.
Zhao Lei's words made Wang Deji and the others begin to speak, everyone knows that staying in Liulibao is equivalent to giving credit, after all, the Western Xia army is in the land of Sanzhou, Liulibao is only 20,000 foot soldiers, if you can't shrink, you may not even have a place to fight, you can't get any credit, who wants to stay here.
"My lord! Since Liulibao is to be fought, Sanzhou also needs support, it is better for us to divide the troops into four routes, General Wang, General Guo, and General Zhang each led 50,000 soldiers and horses to support Sanzhou, and the adults led 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Liulibao, so wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. Ou Xifan said with a smile.
"No! Yuan Hao's hero, although the matter of the southern expedition to Sanzhou has been determined, it is not ruled out that Yuan Hao suddenly changed his hexagram and went south to Yan'an Mansion again, which is the nearest avenue to Yan'an Mansion in the south, and Lord Zhao led 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Liulibao It is too dangerous. Wang Deji was worthy of his background, and when he thought of the geographical particularity of Liulibao and Zhao Lei's safety, he immediately spoke out against Ou Xifan and said.
"What General Wang thought of, how could Yuan Hao not have imagined, this official just wanted Yuan Hao's army to attack, and this is the place where this official and Western Xia Yuan Hao fought a decisive battle." Zhao Lei pointed to the official road north of Liulibao under the mountain peak, and said in a cold voice.
"The decisive battle here, this is an official road, the road is smooth, wide and long, which can make the Western Xia cavalry wield the strongest combat effectiveness, Lord Zhao will think twice!" Ning Yuan's commander Wang Shiyan said in shock.
"General Wang is not surprised, the officer has already checked the nearby terrain, the wide official road can allow the six hundred rocket vehicles in the army to be sent away, the soil on the official road is the most suitable for laying mines, once the official is encamped on the official road, the entire camp will become a place of death, the official is not afraid of Yuan Hao to attack, what he is afraid of is that Yuan Hao will not come, so the official let General Wang and the three lead the army to reinforce Sanzhou." Zhao Lei said with a smile to Wang Deji and others.
"Lord Zhao wants to use his example as a bait to lure Yuan Hao's army over, and use this to consume the Western Xia troops?" Zuo Yulin's general Zhang Zi immediately understood Zhao Lei's intention to attack Liulibao, and said in surprise.
"Not bad! A few years ago, Yuan Hao gambled by his example to defeat the Gou Luo and the Hui Bun, and this time the official defeated the Western Xia with his own bait. Zhao Lei said in a deep voice with great confidence.
"What should I do if Yuan Hao is not fooled?" Wang Deji asked Zhao Lei again.
"Yuan Hao has no right to choose, once General Wang reinforces the three states, even if Yuan Hao's troops do not want to take the three states, then there are only two roads in front of Yuan Hao, one is to continue to go south, attack the place guarded by the official, the second is to retreat to Xiping Mansion to attack again after the whole army, Yuan Hao has been overdrawn too much in the south and north in these years, the national strength has been overdrawn too much, this time the army of 190,000 troops, if there is no result to retreat, I am afraid that the second southern invasion can no longer be organized, so the official expects that Yuan Hao will definitely go south, He had no choice. Zhao Lei said coldly with confidence.
Wang Deji and others considered it for a while in combination with the intelligence of the Western Xia, and now Yuan Hao really has no choice this time, and after Shen Yin repeatedly determined that Zhao Lei's plan was feasible, he began to divide his troops to reinforce Linzhou, Fuzhou and Fengzhou.
With the departure of the army led by Wang Deji, on the avenue next to the glazed fort, the dense Song army battle array immediately shrank by half, and with Zhao Lei's order, more than 30,000 Song troops began to cut down trees and set up camp, connecting the entire official road and the surrounding peaks to form the military camp of the Song army, blocking the entire section of the official road in the north of the glazed fort.
Zhang Wei, the general of the Western Xia army in the glazed fort, although he had already learned the news of Zhao Lei's arrival, but he only had 20,000 foot soldiers, and he could only watch Zhao Lei set up camp and encompass the entire official road little by little, but there was no way, several times he wanted to go out of the fort to fight, but after knowing the number of the Song army, he retreated into the glazed fort, closed the city gate, and guarded against the sneak attack of the Song army day and night.
