Chapter 20 Armageddon, Technology vs. Barbarism
At the end of the first year of Song Kangding, when the Bianjing court learned that Yuanhao of the Western Xia Dynasty raised the military mansion, Lin, and Feng three states, when the prime minister Li Ruogu gave up the official Zhao Zhen outside the Great Wall, and was supported by the Privy Council envoy Zhang Dexiang and a cadre of courtiers, but was opposed by the prime minister Zhang Shixun, the governor Yan Shu and Wang Su, and the privy deputy envoy Wang Deyong and others. On the contrary, under the pretext of being ignorant and unusable, he degraded the state government and promoted his confidant Song to the Privy Council. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At night near the Great Wall of Fengzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, the starry sky is brilliant, the moonlight is like water, and under the beautiful night sky, not only Yuan Hao, who is far away in Fuzhou, wants to peel off Zhao Lei's skin and cramps, but also Zhao Lei, who is on the official road of the Liulibao Garrison, is also gritting his teeth and wants to peel off some people who are far away in Bianjing.
"Li Ruogu, this old guy, is really impatient, Fulin Erzhou is related to the Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji, its importance is known to everyone, he, the old guy, actually knows that he wants to give Fulin to Xixia so much, don't give this official a chance to catch the old guy's handle, otherwise the official will definitely peel this old guy and cramp." Zhao Lei held the newspaper sent by Bianjing in his hand, and gritted his teeth bitterly and said to himself.
"I'm afraid that the adults don't have the opportunity to peel Li Ruogu and cramp, and the official family will immediately demote the newly promoted Zhang Dexiang from Bianjing, and Zhang Dexiang is Li Ruogu's person, the meaning of this is self-evident, Li Ruogu's position as ruler may not be able to sit for long." Pomber said with a round face, small eyes, and a smile, like Maitreya.
"Now the Song-Xia confrontation is a critical moment, in this case, the official family will be degraded, it can be seen that the official family has hatred for Li Ruogu, as long as the adult defeats Yuan Hao, he will want to see Li Ruogu at that time. I'm definitely going to Lingnan or Luzon. Ou Xifan also agreed with Pomber's words and agreed.
The heroic Xiao Ruoruo stood behind Zhao Leidi and suddenly said with a confused look: "Li Ruogu is cunning and cunning, why did he suddenly become old and demented this time!" This trick is also like being degraded, and he is also disgusted by the officials, why bother? ”
"I heard that King Meng was terminally ill and died soon." Su Xun smiled indifferently at this time and said flatly.
"What does it have to do with King Meng and Li Ruogu's mistakes?" Xiao Ruoruo's martial arts were okay, but his mind was a little less, and he asked with the slightest doubt that he couldn't hear the meaning of Su Xun's words.
"King Meng is the pillar of the conservatives, if King Meng returns from illness, there will be no strong figures in the clan who can influence the official family, and then Li Ruogu and others will have what capital to fight against the reformers! Therefore, Li Ruogu proposed to cede the land and negotiate with the Western Xia. In this way, not only will the adults not be able to win the Song and Xia wars, but they can also manipulate the negotiations to achieve political results, increase their prestige and continue to fight against the reformers. Ou Xifan explained carefully to Xiao Ruoruo, who was puzzled.
"To put it simply, Li Ruogu is in a hurry to jump over the wall, and he is not optimistic that Yuan Hao will be able to win the battle of Song and Xia, so he must continue to drag the hind legs of the adult, and delusionally want to eliminate the disputes between the two countries in Song and Xia without a fight. So I was forced to have no choice but to make this trick. Su Xun also said with a smile at this time.
"But the officials are on a holy decree to go out to conquer the land! The officials are close to the officials behind them, if the officials can't defeat the Western Xia. Isn't the official family also disgraced! Li Ruogu wants to drag the officials back, isn't it indirectly dragging the officials back, isn't this looking for a draw! Xiao Ruoruo was still very puzzled and said.
"Xiao Niangzi didn't let her eyebrows, she really saw it thoroughly, Li Ruogu was already old and confused, she couldn't even see the simplest things, and she deserved to fail!" After giving a thumbs up and praising Xiao Ruoruo, Pang Bai despised Li Ruogu and said.
Zhao Lei, who had been listening to the three staff members to explain Xiao Ruoruo's doubts, finally said calmly: "Now Li Ruogu and Yuan Hao are in the same situation, and they are both difficult to ride a tiger." Yuan Hao was in a dilemma, and in the end he could only go south and fall into the trap laid by his own officials, while Li Ruogu was pushed by a large number of conservative officials behind him, so he could only advance but not retreat. Otherwise, when the official defeats Yuan Hao and returns to Bianjing, once King Meng returns from illness, it will be the time to reform the world. For the sake of their own interests, the conservatives knew that it was not feasible, but they forcibly pushed Li Ruogu out, tsk! Don't the conservatives know that once King Meng and Li Ruogu fall, no one will be able to confront the reformers anymore! A group of short-sighted people. ”
"Let's not talk about Li Ruogu's affairs for now, it's not too late to repay his favor when the official returns to Beijing, let's discuss the matter of Yuanhao Land in Western Xia first! If so, is there any news from Sanzhou? Zhao Lei changed the topic and asked Xiao Ruoruo.
"There is no latest news, there are now 300 to 500 eagle breeders in the Xixia military camp, our carrier pigeons fly high and can't avoid the predation of summer eagles, and low flying will be shot by Xixia spies, carrier pigeons are basically wasted, and they can only rely on our army scouts and messengers to communicate, which is much slower." Speaking of the matter of news contact, Xiao Ruoruo immediately remembered the hundreds of cute carrier pigeons that were hunted by the Xixia spies and flying eagles, and said in a somewhat depressed mood.
"There is no update
It is said that the Western Xia army is not moving, Yuan Hao finally made up his mind to go south to Xiao Ruoruo's words, and immediately said excitedly.
"Sandbox!" With Zhao Lei's order, the soldiers outside the tent immediately carried a large sand table into the tent.
"News from Sanzhou, Yuan Hao's main army in Fuzhou, 90,000 soldiers and horses, has besieged Fuzhou for half a month, so that the Fuzhou defenders lost 30,000 horses, and the Western Xia army also killed nearly 20,000 people, Fuzhou is now less than 8,000 defenders, the rest are the people in Fuzhou who help defend the city, General Wang Deji stationed near Fuzhou, and the Western Xia Han general Yang Shousu confronted, the battle of reinforcements on the same day General Wang's soldiers and horses lost a lot, and now there are less than 40,000 soldiers and horses." Pomber pointed to the information obtained from the combination of the terrain near Linzhou and said.
"The Western Xia army in Linzhou and Fengzhou has 80,000 people, but it is only a feint attack, with a loss of less than 5,000, and the reinforced 100,000 forbidden troops have entered Linzhou and Fengzhou, and the loss is not large." Ou Xifan continued to speak in Pang Baidi, pointing to the Linzhou and Fengzhou sections on the sand table and said.
"The geography of Sanzhou is unique, the official road here in Liulibao is the only way to go south, there are only trails in the surrounding mountains and mountains, and the cavalry and foot soldiers cannot pass, so if Yuan Hao goes south, he must take the camp where we are located, so that our situation is dangerous, if Yuan Hao forcibly goes south, only 50,000 soldiers and horses can block the hundreds of thousands of reinforcements in Sanzhou, at least 100,000 troops can be drawn to attack the camp, and we also have 20,000 Xixia foot soldiers in Liulibao by our side, once the camp we are in is lost, The Western Xia army can immediately rely on the glazed fort and the avenue camp, and then only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will block the hundreds of thousands of troops in Sanzhou in the south, and the entire Yongxing military road will also be threatened by the Western Xia army due to insufficient troops, Yuan Hao must have also seen this, so the Western Xia army will definitely go south, and the degree will be very fast. Su Xun pointed to the avenue camp next to Liuli Castle and said carefully to Zhao Lei.
"Do you think that even if the 120,000 Western Xia army can break through the Great Dao camp guarded by our 30,000 horses?" Zhao Lei had no fear, and said to Su Xun and the others with a relaxed smile.
"Impossible!" Su Xun, Ou Xifan, Pang Bai and Xiao Ruoruo said firmly at the same time.
Oh, yes! Not to mention the 120,000 Western Xia army, even the 200,000 Western Xia army may not be able to break through the Great Dao camp drawn by himself. Zhao Lei looked at the distance confidently and thought with a smile.
Zhao Lei's self-confidence comes from the defensive position outside the Dadao camp, which Zhao Lei personally directed, which is very close to modern positional warfare.
Zhao Lei's camp is on the mountain bag north of the avenue, and all the means of protection in the Northern Song Dynasty camp can not be seen in Zhao Lei's camp, no walls, no antlers, no trenches, no traps, all in all, the standard camp of the Northern Song Dynasty can not be seen here.
Around Zhao Lei's camp, there are only simple wooden fences and a few simple arrow towers, and what really plays a terrifying role is the novel defense line in the northeast of the avenue.
Although the only official road in Fengzhou is wide, on the official road more than 20 zhang long, a maximum of dozens of cavalry can be accommodated, and with the smooth roads on both sides of the official road, 300 cavalry riding side by side is already the limit.
On the official road less than a mile wide, it is now densely covered with all kinds of trenches and obstacles, and the various trenches dug under the command of Zhao Lei are one meter and five deep, two meters long, which can just accommodate a crossbowman of the Song army, and behind the trench there are hundreds of highland hidden places, where the rocket car is placed, and there are not only a lot of horse traps in front of the trench, but also more mines that are buried underground.
This is the combination routine that Zhao Lei came up with to block the Western Xia cavalry, the mine is used to delay the rush of the Western Xia cavalry, the rocket car cooperates with the grenade to increase the Song crossbowman, long-range killing and injuring the Western Xia cavalry, and does not give the Western Xia cavalry any chance to meet in short arms, with the current military strength of the Great Song Dynasty, this possibility has been greatly enhanced, and was used by Zhao Lei in this campaign to block Yuan Hao's southward movement.
This kind of trench long-distance blocking the enemy's position, Zhao Lei has set up fifteen positions on the northeast avenue of the camp, each position is one mile apart, which is exactly within the long-range strike range of the rocket vehicle, and this fifteen-mile-long position is the source of Zhao Lei's confidence in blocking Yuan Hao.
So far, Zhao Lei's trench position has not been exposed much, although there are a lot of Western Xia spies around, but the close-up snooping has been shown by Song Jun, so although Yuan Hao knows that Zhao Lei has done a lot of tricks, he doesn't know the role of these tricks.
Zhao Lei not only set up a defensive position on the northeast avenue of the camp, but also on the road leading to Liulibao, Zhao Lei also dug a few small trenches to prevent the enemy of Liulibao from attacking the camp, and on the southwest avenue of the camp, Zhao Lei also dug a few trenches in case of emergency.
In Zhao Lei's opinion, he now has everything, and he only owes Yuan Hao, the Eastern Wind of Western Xia, to test the blocking ability of the latest position of the Great Song Dynasty.
