Chapter 452: The Northwest is the Strongest
That's not right, why did Chapter 450 change the name of the chapter, and continue to review? If the reading is not continuous, please wait.
+======
10,000 cavalry slowly walked out of the desert of Nanhetao.
Wang Chengmei personally greeted the Turbidity Wheel River.
The chief general of the Song army is Yin Xian, the deputy general is Zhang Ning, and the capital supervisor is Yang Qiong.
are all old acquaintances of Wang Chengmei, especially Zhang Ning, this name is the same as Tian Min, a bit feminine, and Song Jiu still doesn't pay much attention to this person, because he behaved well with Yang Si during the counterattack, but unlike Yang Si, Yang Si has a good brother. So Yang Si was transferred to Hedong.
It also has to be adjusted, the Hedong Theater is equally important, Pan Mei and Yang Ye come back and forth, only Yang Si and Yin Jilun can't lead Hedong. But that's going to have to wait until the wind stops.
The reason why Zhang Ning was allowed to return to the northwest was because he had been training with Yang Qiong for several years and was familiar with the local situation.
But after this battle, Zhang Ning will stand out.
Those who have the ability don't have a chance, so they can only sigh with joy, but if they have the opportunity, they will immediately be sharp.
Zhang Ning returned to the northwest, there was no secret, even if Han Dewei knew the way, he would also ask, who is Zhang Ning?
However, 10,000 elite horsemen Han Dewei didn't know what to do.
It was to transfer a lot of cavalry to Hedong and Hebei, but not all of them were transferred. With such a large-scale military mobilization, it is too easy to cover people's eyes and ears. Especially in the boundless South Gobi, it took the Song army hundreds of thousands of troops to force Li Jiqian out of this time and space. This is still the Song Dynasty's strong wall and clear wilderness, so Li Jiqian had to come out, plus the cooperation of the Fengzhou royal family. Li Jiqian was arrested.
In another time and space, this Nanhetao made the Song Dynasty miserable. It not only harmed the Song Dynasty, but also harmed the Liao State...... More than 100,000 Liao troops were buried here.
I want to hide one or two thousand cavalry here. It's just too easy. Unless the Liao State sent thousands of scouts to wait for investigation, then the soldiers of the Song army and the Zhewang family were vegetarians?
Several people met and chatted with each other.
Song Jiu underestimated or said he didn't see Zhang Ning's skills, but this time the people were well chosen, Yin Xianjiu was in the northwest, and he had a good relationship with the two families of Zhewang, Yang Qiong and Zhang Ning trained in Hetao, and they also had contacts.
Personal friendship is not good, and the court has been under the guidance of Song Jiu over the years. The two families were rewarded one after another, which made the two families more attentive to the Song Dynasty. Playing like in history, although the two families were forced to fall to the Song Dynasty due to their own geographical factors, they must have more or less resentment in their hearts.
The Song army set up camp and began to rest.
Compared with the elite cavalry of the Liao army, although Song Jiu instructed the so-called Yuanmeng wolf pack tactics, the combat effectiveness was still weaker. However, the Song army also has the strength of the Song army, that is, strict military discipline.
Wang Chengmei and his wife are also watching, it's okay.
Rest for the night. The Song army arrived in Fengzhou and continued north.
Fengzhou was later broken by Li Yuanhao, and almost all the descendants of the Wang family were killed, but later the Song Dynasty took it back. began to force their own garrison defense, and began a long tug-of-war.
Strictly speaking, the north of Fengzhou is the eastern surrender city of the Tang Dynasty, where Shengzhou is located. However, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Shengzhou organization had long been abolished. Later, it was taken by the Liao State. But not now. There are many Tibetan tribes living here, bound to the royal family and the Song Dynasty. Further north is the section of the river at the very top of the Yellow River. To the north is the Beihetao, where the Tang Dynasty also had a establishment. The west is surrendered to the city, Fengzhou, the Tiande army, and the middle is surrendered to the city. But this Toyosu is not the Toyoshu of this time.
Beihetao is not under the jurisdiction of the Liao State now, and is slightly biased towards the Song Dynasty, but it is actually a three-regardless area. The Song Dynasty could take over one after another, but under the pressure of the Liao State, it was better to have more than one thing.
But relatively speaking, the situation in the northern part of Fengzhou is now favorable to the Song army. Once the Liao State takes this place and starts to operate, it will be a little bad.
The army slowly continued to march northward, but in this line, the Wang family sent 5,000 iron cavalry reinforcements, and it became a powerful cavalry corps of 15,000. Then, when they arrived at the Yanagifa River in the northwest of Toyoshu, they stopped again and began to hide with the help of the terrain.
The southeast direction is the mixed wave river, where some Tibetan tribes live, and the Song Dynasty is also called the Zihe Tibetan department. Where will be the first battleground.
Yin Xian, Yang Qiong and Zhang Ning are all a little hot-eyed, but there is no way, who called this the territory of the family, can they not agree to the first battle?
……
On the east bank of the Yellow River, the Volcano Army Jiuliangjin also has a hidden army of soldiers and horses, and the number of troops is not as large as that of the western front, after all, this is the border, and the large-scale army will inevitably be detected by the Liao scouts. They had only five thousand light horsemen.
However, the three generals who led the leader were very considerable, the main general Yang Ye, the capital supervisor Yang Si, and the deputy general Yin Jilun.
Listening to the sound of the surging water of the Yellow River not far away, thousands of soldiers and horses were silent. They're all waiting...... Wait for the scout's information.
At this moment, several people dressed as hunters hurriedly came to report: "Liaokou has crossed the Yellow River." ”
Yang Ye said excitedly: "It's a good time. ”
This may be his last battle, Song Jiu's letter made it very clear, they are all old, and it is a heroic thing to die at the border, but the emperor can't bear it, and may recall him and Pan Mei back to the capital to enjoy a clear blessing.
Yang Ye was very moved, the court treated the old ministers too well.
In fact, Pan Mei knows very well that not only is it merciful, but they also have to give way, so that the court can sharpen the next generation of generals. The idea was made by her son-in-law, and of course Pan Mei did not doubt her son-in-law's good intentions. Indeed, since the beginning of autumn, his physical condition has deteriorated. In fact, it's impossible to even go to the battlefield, it's all about eating the past fame, so what kind of side work are you still nostalgic for?
It is also a good choice to go to the General Staff Division to chat and drink tea with old guys like Cao Bin and Mixin.
Yang Ye didn't know the mentality of Pan Mei in the rear, so he began to order: "Yin Jilun, you lead a thousand soldiers and horses to Zhenwudao to spread the banner and confuse the enemy. ”
"Whoa." Yin Jilun said.
He didn't go to fight soy sauce, the Liao people sent a lot of soldiers and horses, and they could have soldiers and horses that were delayed, not only to defeat them in one fell swoop, but also to create the illusion that the Song Dynasty army was coming, forcing Han Dewei to flee along the Zihe Road.
Yin Jilun went down with his soldiers and horses in a hurry.
Yang Ye and Yang Si led the rest of the soldiers and horses straight to the side head village, which was set up by the Northern Han Dynasty, but it was scrapped. For the time being, it does not belong to the Liao State, nor does it belong to the Song Dynasty. It belongs to the idle field area.
Yang Ye has been fighting with the Liao people many times between Yanmen Pass and Yatou Village, and is very familiar with the terrain here. However, this time it will depart from the east side of the Kuratsu Ferry. But it's a rugged mountain road. But it is not to go to the partial head village, from the partial head village to the Guan River, cross the Yellow River, and go straight to the west of the river.
……
Han Dewei set off from Zhenwu in a hurry and followed the trail that no one paid attention to to and killed in Fuzhou.
There were more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in total, but not all of them were Liao troops, some local Tibetan tribes, and even some Jiashan tribes participated.
Due to the expansion of several trade routes, Fuzhou has changed a lot over the years. With grain, livestock and money, it has almost become one of the brightest pearls in the northwest. Once the prefecture is laid, there will be huge gains. Don't talk about the kindness of the Song Dynasty and the Wang family, they are all tribes within the control of the Liao State, and in the face of huge interests, no kindness will work. This is the truth of nomads.
Crossing the Yellow River, Hu Ke Siming greeted him.
"The little ones see the king."
"Well, are you ready in the city?"
"The little one is ready, just wait for the king's army to come to the city. The small one echoed with a banner of righteousness in the city, and Fuzhou was attacked by the king in an instant. ”
"That's good, you can go back quickly."
"Whoa." Hu Ke Siming hurriedly rode back.
"Let's go." Han Dewei shouted.
Not only Fuzhou, but also Song Jun. The Song Dynasty's garrison at the Nam Ha Loop was on the banks of the Yellow River between Camel Harbor and Hue Crossing. One is in the upper reaches of the Turbidity River, Quye River, and Tumao River. After taking Fuzhou, he was able to pounce on the second garrison of the Song Dynasty with lightning speed.
I believe that this time it will make the Song Dynasty feel very painful.
And this expedition defeated the Zhe family. The Wang family is isolated, so the ministries are deterred. All the departments of Jiashan can be returned to the Liao State.
It took only a day and a half for more than 30,000 cavalry to rush to the city of Fuzhou.
However, it was not what Hon Dewei had imagined, and he was preparing to set up camp outside the city. Then Hu Hu Siming led the people in the city to turmoil and attacked the city in one fell swoop. However, after waiting for a long time, the city was quiet. On the contrary, there are countless guards on the city wall, with clear banners and strict military discipline, without the slightest panic.
Suddenly, a Song official walked out of the city and shouted outside the city: "The old man is Zhai Shousu, the governor of Yanzhou in the Song Dynasty, and he has been waiting here for a long time. ”
It's not very clear to say that Zhang Ning and Han Dewei are still very clear, but when it comes to a high-ranking official in the northwest like Zhai Shousu, how can Han Dewei not know the way? He shouted in his heart: No.
As he expected, Zhai Shou said nothing, and a person walked out of him, it was Han Dewei who was waiting for Hu Ke Siming, Hu Ke Siming smiled and said: "King, you have been fooled, my people are doing well, I don't want you to come to the expedition to rescue, but you quickly dismount and surrender, I see that for your well-behaved sake, I will intercede with the two Zhizhou, and I can spare your life." ”
There was no need for him to shout, as soon as he appeared, Han Dewei knew that Lu Dao had been deceived.
But at this moment, the scout hurriedly reported: "King, it's not good, the Song Dynasty doesn't know how many soldiers and horses have been dispatched to cut off our back road, and the main general is the black-faced king in Hedong." ”
Han Dewei's face was pale, there was not only a black-faced king in Hedong, but also an even more desperate Yang Ye Yang Invincible, and Pan Mei, the first general of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Fooled." He shouted.
Not only was he fooled, but although he had a lot of soldiers and horses, he was mainly a miscellaneous army, and the real Liao army had less than 10,000 elite cavalry. If it fails, it will be a heavy blow.
Don't stay here for long!
But since Han Dewei came, he didn't come in a hurry. There are several roads from Fuzhou to Liao, some of which are rugged and directly ignored, and once more than 30,000 soldiers and horses get on these trails and are intercepted by the enemy, the defeat of the city is his end. This Zhenwu Road cannot be chosen, and there are many forts on some roads, which are also not the object of choice.
Therefore, after thinking about it, there is only one road to go, and that is the relatively sparsely populated, mainly Gobi Desert, that is, the road of Zihe.
"Withdraw!" Handwei shouted.
In fact, if he doesn't withdraw or wait for death, he came this time, Fuzhou has enough grain and grass, and in order to pursue speed, he didn't even bring much grain and grass. Once you have to forcibly attack the city, Fuzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is backed by the big river, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is no internal should not say how many days to attack, or even a few months, it may not be able to take down.
That's still waiting for death.
More than 30,000 Liao troops rushed in, but they retreated to Zihe in a hurry.
However, this area is not really a flat river, with many low hills and some jungles.
Moreover, this escape, morale was depressed, and the three armies no longer had the will to fight.
Seeing that out of this mountain road, he was about to reach the Chaobo River, and suddenly countless Song troops flashed on the mountain range in front of him, and they were not Song troops, they were all broken soldiers.
The strongest folded army in the northwest.
They will always be the pride of Fuzhou.
In addition to leaving some of the soldiers in Fuzhou City in case of accidents, the rest of the Zhejia army was brought here and all the favorable terrain was occupied. The situation is like a copy of the battle of the Gentleman's Pavilion.
The battle soon began.
It may be that the strength of the Zhejia army is a little less, but the morale is different at this time, and there are two powerful cavalry armies behind him.
The Zhejia army occupied favorable terrain and attacked the Liao army again and again, and soon the Liao army fell behind.
Seeing that something was wrong, Han Dewei hurriedly ordered a Liao army to be cannon fodder, and then took the lead in escaping. But at this time, it was a big battlefield of tens of thousands of people, not a battle of one ridge and one ravine, tens of thousands of people were twisted together, how did Han Dewei unify the orders of the three armies?
On the contrary, seeing that he had fled, the rest of the army was messed up. Zhi Yuqing immediately ordered: "Prepare the soldiers." ”
As the flag order was issued, the chariots rushed fiercely towards the Liao army, and the Liao army was soon forced to the cliff behind them. This is an order to plunge the Liao army into hell.
There are only two options, one is to be knocked over, or the other is to squeeze off the cliff and fall to pieces.
In the battle of Zihe, Han Dewei's more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, almost half of which were folded here, that is, some Liao soldiers were not trampled to death or crushed to death, but were also stabbed to death by the Song soldiers who were full of hatred with long weapons. The Liao army alone reached more than 5,000 people, and there were many more people who saw this tragic scene in the world, and jumped off the cliff knowing that they were dead, and there were even more people who died.
But Handwei escaped alive.
ran wildly all the way, only nearly 10,000 people followed behind him, and the rest were not killed by the Song soldiers, but fled together.
Finally arrived at the Chaobo River, and Han Dewei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. But at this moment, countless Song horses came to the sky again. (To be continued......)
