At the end of October of the first year of Kangding, the Western Xia general was ordered by Yuan Hao to lead an army of 100,000 to go out to fight, intending to destroy the Great Song Alliance's attempt to attack Xia.
In the middle of November of the first year of Kangding, the Western Xia generals gathered more than 20,000 soldiers from Xiliang and Xuanhua, and divided their troops into two ways to attack the king of the country and the tribe of the prince of the country.
At the end of November, the eldest prince rescued the king of Nga and was ambushed by the Western Xia army on the way, and the prince was captured.
In October of the first year of Kangding, Ma Cheng Weiji, the general of Western Xia, was ordered by Yuan Hao to lead 100,000 troops to rescue the sandbank, and in November, he broke the 80,000 army of Xizhou and Huangtou Huilu in Shazhou, beheaded 20,000 and captured 40,000, and signed a 20-year non-aggression treaty with Xizhou and Huangtou Huihu on the condition of captivity.
In October of the first year of Kangding, Yuanhao of Western Xia dispatched 10,000 light cavalry of the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro to defend the Liao State, marched day and night to reinforce Xiazhou, and firmly contained the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty attacking Xiazhou in Xiazhou.
In the first month of 1o41 AD, the Song military officials outside Yan'an Mansion gathered together, and everyone looked at Zhao Lei with a cold face in the center of the handsome tent with a very ugly face.
Zhao Lei, who had just spent a relaxing Spring Festival in Yan'an Mansion, was in a good mood for only a few days, and was completely destroyed by the news from Xixia.
"Why? The soldiers and horses of the Hui and the Hui were defeated by the Western Xia, and we were the last to get the news. Zhao Lei's right hand was cracked, but his face was calm and he asked Xiao Ruoruo, the female general of the Zhao family who was in charge of the Western Xia intelligence behind him.
"Just when Lord Han sent troops to Xiazhou, Yuan Hao had already begun to completely block the passage into the Song Dynasty, and our spies in Western Xia were being closely watched. There is no chance to come to Yan'an Mansion to meet us, we have only recently come into contact with the people from the Western Xia, they said that they have released more than 70 carrier pigeons in three months, but we have not received it, I heard that Yuan Hao has recruited all the eagle breeders in Western Xia. Xiao Ruoruo understood Zhao Lei's excited and angry mood now, and quickly said everything she knew.
Breeder of Eagles! Hearing Xiao Ruoruo's words, Zhao Lei's eyes flashed, and he immediately realized what the problem was calculated by Yuan Hao this time.
I didn't expect to lose in the delivery of the message! Zhao Lei thought with a wry smile that the transmission of news in the Song Dynasty had always been very slow, and Zhao Lei had long objected to this. Therefore, it took a lot of time to find the folk pigeon breeders of the Song Dynasty to train the carrier pigeons, and the existence of the carrier pigeon made Zhao Lei stand a lot cheaper in the transmission of news, but this time Zhao Lei suffered a big loss in the carrier pigeon, he never thought that Yuan Hao actually thought of using the eagle of prey to deal with the carrier pigeon.
Without the help of carrier pigeons, although the spies on the Western Xia side knew about the movement of troops and horses in Western Xia, they could not notify Zhao Lei, and Yuanhao of Western Xia unexpectedly launched an offensive in winter, defeating the soldiers and horses of the Hui Bird in one fell swoop, and the inconvenience of movement in winter affected the degree of the Great Song Dynasty to get the news, which led to Zhao Lei defeating the Hui and Hui in Western Xia for more than a month. only to get the news.
"That is to say, these months in Sai Binh Province and we hold the land. It's just that Yuan Hao and his men have less than 50,000 soldiers and horses, if we get the news in advance and take the initiative to attack Xiping Mansion, maybe Yuan Hao has become our prisoner. After Fan Zhongyan got the military news from the Western Xia side, he immediately said with a bitter smile of remorse.
"Careless! Yuan Hao has a heroic plan, and he actually dragged our Yan'an Mansion army in danger, but he sent the army to fight and return to the sea without concealment, Yuan Hao is really not to be underestimated! After Su Xun learned about Xixia Yuanhao's actions in the past few months, he said to Zhao Lei with admiration and solemnity.
"The most infuriating thing is that the Guys and the Uighurs were so easily defeated by the Western Xia Army, if they could hold back the Western Xia Army for a while. When we get the news, we will definitely Bing Xiping and go straight to Xingqing, it's a pity! Ou Xifan thought about the countless opportunities he had missed to defeat Western Xia in the past few months. Shaking his head in annoyance, he said.
"Yuan Hao is really a complete gambler as the adults say, risking his life, attacking in winter and returning to the Bird. Once the war drags on, I am afraid that Western Xia will be wiped out, this kind of success or failure in heaven and earth He also dares to bet, and let him win the bet, is it the will of God in Xia! Pang Bai's chubby face said to Zhao Lei with a puzzled expression.
Pang Bai's words made the atmosphere in the tent solidify for a while, Yuan Hao's winter gamble, in the eyes of everyone, the chance to win is only one percent, but he just won, not only for the Western Xia to win the opportunity to pacify the confrontation with the Great Song Dynasty, but also greatly enhance the low morale of the Western Xia after the battle of Haoshuichuan, and Yuan Hao's victorious gamble made the Song army begin to worry in their hearts.
"Ahem! I think now is not the time to sigh Yuan Hao's good luck, it has been more than two months since the Western Xia attacked the Uighurs, and more than two months has been enough for the Western Xia to complete a war, and now the snow in Yan'an Mansion is beginning to melt, although the roads are muddy, but it can not cause any obstacles to the Western Xia cavalry, if Yuan Hao takes advantage of the situation to attack, we should prepare early. After the war, Wang Deji, the reinforcement general who was sent by the official Zhao Zhen, stood up at this time and said in a deep voice.
Just when everyone in the handsome tent looked at Zhao Lei, waiting
When the conclusion was reached, a herald suddenly rushed into the commander's tent and told him a hurry.
"It seems that there is no need to discuss, Yuan Hao has already made a move, three days ago Yuan Hao led 170,000 soldiers and horses in Western Xia, and the soldiers attacked Linzhou, Fuzhou, and Fengzhou in three ways, and even stationed 20,000 troops in Liulibao, it seems that he wants to use the territory of Sanzhou to obtain a political compromise in Bianjing." Zhao Lei read the urgent official document in his hand, handed it to Fan Zhongzhuan on the left, and said with a sneer at the Chinese Wu.
"How many soldiers and horses do we have at our disposal now?" Zhao Lei didn't wait for Fan Zhongyan and the others to finish reading the official document, so he turned his head to Su Xun and asked in a deep voice.
"Not counting the 50,000 soldiers and horses that Lord Han sent to Xiazhou, now Yan'an Mansion has 256,000 soldiers and horses, of which 46,000 are guarding the states and border fortresses, Yan'an Mansion can use 210,000 soldiers and horses, including Wang Deji Wang brought reinforcements from Bianjing, 25,000 soldiers and horses of General Guo Chengyou of the Zuolong Wu Army, 25,000 soldiers and horses of General Zhang Zi of the Zuo Yulin Army, 15,000 soldiers and horses of General Chong Shiheng of Weizhou, 10,000 soldiers and horses of General Wang Shijia commanded by Ning Yuan, as well as Di Qing, Yang Wenguang, Fan Quan, Zhao Ming's four generals commanded 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the other was Fan Zhongyan's 15,000 Yan'an soldiers and horses under the command of Lord Fan. As Zhao Lei's staff, Su Xun knew the current situation of the troops in Yan'an Mansion well, and immediately answered carefully when he heard Zhao Lei's question.
"The commander of Weizhou assisted Fan Zhongyan Fan to defend Yan'an Mansion, and several other generals immediately mobilized troops and horses, preparing to attack the enemy army in Western Xia." Zhao Lei pondered for a while, and immediately said to the Chinese military general.
After everyone took the order, Zhao Lei sneered at the three staff members in the tent and said: "It seems that Yuan Hao is really in a hurry to jump over the wall this time, and he actually sent 190,000 troops to the south, isn't he afraid that the Liao State will take advantage of the weakness!" ”
The harsh environment of Yan'an Mansion still did not wear off the fat Pang Bai, squinted his small eyes and said with a sneer: "My lord, I have carefully calculated, the current elite soldiers and horses in Western Xia are definitely only 350,000, of which 100,000 soldiers and horses are monitoring the Liao State, 50,000 soldiers and horses are guarding the border of the Ao and Hui Birds, and the elites who can be used are definitely only 200,000, and this time Yuan Hao sent 190,000 troops to the south, the domestic army must be empty, should you send a partial army to Xiping Mansion or Xingqing Mansion for a walk?" ”
"The huge man is right, General Ren Fu is still near White Leopard City, and the adults can order General Ren Fu to send troops to Xiping Mansion, let go of those fortified cities, and sweep away the gathering tents of the party members." Ou Xifan also agreed with Pomber's suggestion and agreed.
"The idea of the huge man is good, if General Ren Fu goes north, it can indeed greatly weaken the national strength of the Western Xia, but what is the benefit of the weakening of the national strength of the Western Xia to the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty has not embezzled the strength of the Western Xia now, once the Western Xia is weakened in transition, I am afraid that the only happy thing is the Liao State that sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight." Su Xun shook his head at this time and said against Pomber's plan.
"This official finally knows why Yuan Hao dared to send a large army south, it turns out that he has already guessed that my Great Song Dynasty will not counterattack the Western Xia cheap Liao State, so he is so ruined! Yuan Hao is worthy of being a hero, and his vision is indeed vicious. After listening to the suggestions of the three staff members around him, Zhao Lei suddenly sneered and said.
"We can't weaken the national strength of Western Xia, we can also let General Ren Fu feint to attack Xiping Mansion and come to encircle Wei to save Zhao!" Ou Xifan proposed again.
"No need, this official doesn't want the Western Xia army to divide troops again, Linzhou, Fuzhou, and Fengzhou have 60,000 soldiers and horses of my Great Song Border Army, plus 180,000 troops from my Yan'an Mansion, which is enough to resist the southern invasion of the Western Xia Army, and the purpose of this official is to completely hurt Yuan Hao, if Yuan Hao's Western Xia Army can lose more than half this time, Western Xia will not want to invade the south on a large scale within 20 years." Zhao Lei finally said the plan in his heart at this time.
"Do you want to fight the Western Xia army?" Su Xun heard Zhao Lei's words and asked in surprise.
"Not bad! The purpose of Yuan Hao's southern invasion this time is already obvious, that is, to take Linzhou, Fuzhou or Fengzhou at any cost to negotiate with our Great Song Dynasty, and the purpose of this official is also very simple, that is, to fight hard with the Western Xia army at any cost, play the military and national prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, let the Liao State know the power of the Great Song Dynasty, and turn his mind to deal with the Western Xia. Zhao Lei nodded and said calmly.
"In this way, our army may suffer heavy losses!" Pang Bai hesitated and said, he originally wanted to say that hard fighting might not be the opponent of the Western Xia Army, but seeing Zhao Lei's confident eyes, he finally changed his words.
"Don't worry, in the past few months, Western Xia has fought in the south and the north, but we are not inactive, 500 rocket vehicles, 160,000 grenades, 150,000 mines, plus 1.2 million rockets, just these materials, this official dares to say that Western Xia has been defeated and invincible." Zhao Lei said with murderous confidence on his face.
The data in Zhao Lei's mouth made Pang Bai feel a lot more relieved, the power of rocket vehicles, grenades and mines Pang Bai had already seen it, with the help of these things, plus many soldiers and horses, Pang Bai carefully calculated, and also felt that Xixia Yuanhao had little chance of winning.
The civil and military officials of Yan'an Mansion outside the tent have gathered their soldiers, and nearly 200,000 men and horses are densely spread around the entire Yan'an Mansion like ants.
