Chapter 114: The Great War Begins

More and more information shows that the main direction of attack of the Xia army is Yamato Fort, and its left wing Shenyong Army Division has mobilized one-third of the troops, with nearly 20,000 people, led by five military supervisors respectively, and the troops are stationed in three river passes, and their scouts Yijing have repeatedly contacted the Tenglong and Feihu battalions, and the Xia State spy personnel lurking in the Linzhou area are also extremely active, sending people to operate in the Yincheng area to collect information about the Xiangyi army. Zhao Ta has been standing still, still training and studying in the barracks, as if he was not aware of the transfer of Xia Bing.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, Zhao Ta, who was appeased by Hedong Road, set up a banquet in Yincheng, and invited the lords, lords, governors and chiefs of the clans and tribes along the border to spend the Dragon Boat Festival together, and set up sheds in the city to distribute zongzi and enjoy with the people.

On the sixth day of the fifth month, Zhao Ta, who was appeased by Hedong Road, inspected the fields of Shenmubao Tuntian, comforted the people of the Han Dynasty, solved the difficulties in their life and production, and presented ten sets of new farm tools.

On the eighth day of the first month of May, the Xia soldiers went out of Tumaochuan to invade Xintai, and Zhao Ta, who was pacified by the Hedong Road, ordered Han Sizong, the governor of Linzhou, and the third general of Hedong to send reinforcements and strictly guard the border.

On the tenth day of the first month of May, the four battalions of Prince Yan's army, Tenglong, Xunshi, Feihu, and Jaguar all returned to Yincheng.

On May 12, Prince Yan led all his troops to go to Linzhou Mansion to govern the Xintai War. At the same time, all prefectures and counties took unified action to launch a large-scale search and arrest, and all suspicious persons who did not have identity certificates and did not have more than three guarantees were taken into custody.

On May 13, Prince Yan suddenly appeared in Yamato Village, summoned the five commanders of the Han archers who went to Xintai to help, and at the same time transported a large number of baggage to the village, and decided to leave the pro-army to command Zhao Ren to unify the command and dispatch, the Flying Tiger Battalion, directly under the machine gun team, and most of the baggage battalion to garrison Yamato Village.

On May 14, Prince Yan left the village, went to Yamato Fort, carefully surveyed the terrain along the way, stayed at Yamato Fort that night, summoned the lord of the fort Baoji, and Zhou Dajun, the commander of the soldiers and horses.

On May 15, Prince Yan secretly left in the early morning with the third battalion of the pro-army and the rest of the guards, engineers, scouts, and machine gun teams, and disappeared; On the same day, Yamato Fort was sealed, only allowed to enter but not out, and ordered all the people of Tuntian near the fort to enter the fort and evacuate overnight.

On May 16, the Western Xia Brigade appeared in the valleys of the Jialu River, the Xialu River and the Balwei River.

On May 17, the summer thieves numbered 100,000, the soldiers committed Yamato Fort, the camp stretched for ten miles, the defenders of Yamato Fort were difficult for the enemy's soldiers, and abandoned the fort overnight with suspicious tactics to evacuate, and a large number of soldiers, grain and grass could not be carried away, and were obtained by thieves.

On May 18, the summer thief Ke Yamato Fort, Jialuhe Military Supervisor Yeli led 3,000 troops into Yamato Village, and the thief chief Yun Wang Li Jifeng took all the grain and grass in the fort to lead the Chinese army to slow down, and the Yamato Fort left 3,000 rear troops in response.

．．．．．．

From the Yamato Fort into the valley, less than five miles, the Jialu River flows into the Xialu River, gallops to the north and joins the Yellow River, the original ancient river channel forms a thirty miles long valley, the widest place can reach six or seven miles, the valley bottom becomes a big road, the loess plateau on both sides is washed by the rain to form a ravine, just like the capillaries on the human artery, there are lush trees growing inside, the valley wall is high and hundreds of miles, even the apes are difficult to climb.

Yeli thought that there would be a hard battle under Yamato Fort, but there was no Xiangdao guard to flee from the wind, leaving himself an empty city, looking at the armor soldiers that can be seen from time to time on the road, he knew that they fled in a hurry, but the last war left a huge shadow in his heart, and the weapons in the hands of the Xiangyi army made him even more jealous, and he sent people to sneak into its station many times, but he failed to see its true face!

"What are you afraid of, the ants bite the elephant to death, and the Xiangyi army Yijing goes to Xintai, even if it returns to the army, the army has arrived in Yincheng, and the soldiers have arrived in the hinterland of Linzhou, and they are afraid that they will not dare to fight!" Yeli looked back at the endless march in the valley and his confidence grew. But he was also bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and released the scout horse ten miles away to reconnoiter back and forth to prevent being ambushed, until the evening to reach the Yamato village, where the gate of the village was closed, and it was too late to attack the city. …,

Early the next morning, the whole army had a full meal, and Yeli raised troops to the Yamato village, but the scene in front of him did not make his nose crooked, needless to say, the village must have been built in danger, and the city wall five hundred steps away blocked the way forward, which made Yeli, who was accustomed to seeing the battle array, not surprised. What is infuriating is that within 300 steps outside the stockade, they not only laid out several horse stops, foothills and horse traps, but also more than a dozen trenches about one zhang wide, and the excavated earth was cultivated into a series of low walls. Even if the ditch is dug densely, it is also dug in a zigzag, and the two reserved passages are even more tortuous and winding, not to mention the horse, even if people are not careful, they have to fall into the ditch!

"General Yeli, you're here again, you haven't thanked the horses you sent us last time, how much did you bring this time?" Just when Yeli was angry, the gate of the village was wide open, and two teams of soldiers rushed out, and in front of the village, a man who looked like an officer rode forward and asked loudly through the heavy trenches, but there was no megaphone in these years, and the officer was afraid that he would not be able to hear clearly, so he said a word, and the soldiers behind him shouted in unison, and the valley held its voice, and it could be transmitted far back to the swing.

"Bastard thing" As the saying goes, 'you don't hit people in the face, and you don't expose your words', the other party's words are poked in his heart, Yeli Chinese is not good enough, just this sentence 'bastard thing' is still learned from the United Army, and I feel that the scolding is not enjoyable, so I simply changed it to my hometown.

"Hey, Yeli Supervisor, Xie Lu thank you for sending the little prince to us, and now you have brought the old prince here, our general said, he didn't catch up last time, this time he caught the old thing, turned around and reported to the court, ask for credit for you, our saint will definitely seal you a big official..."

Yeli is illiterate here, and he doesn't know much Chinese, but he can't talk about people, and he is so angry that he jumps like thunder, and is thinking about whether to ask for help from the United Army, and the United Army Yijing sent someone to scold him in front of many of his subordinates, of course, the sentence 'bastard thing' is indispensable, and asks him if he is still disconnected from the Song Army, why he only talks and does not move, delaying time.

Yeli was aggrieved, he was scolded at both ends, and he didn't have a place to shout grievances, so he immediately transferred troops to prepare to attack the city, but the situation in front of Danshi made him unhappy, and if he wanted to go under the city, he had to pass through this obstacle area and fill in the trench, but there were more than a thousand archers on the opposite side, and he was ready to take his bow and arrows, and he clearly had to fill it with human lives if he wanted to go over! But it will be difficult to make it difficult, Yeli let everyone get off the horse, put down the knife and gun, take up the shovel and pickaxe, first become a migrant worker, and really do the work of opening roads and bridges in the mountains and rivers, and do his best to complete the work of a pioneer...

This ditch has been filled until the lamp is only half filled, Yeli Huoran looked back, and less than half of the more than 3,000 people he brought out were already half, and this road less than fifty steps wide and two hundred steps long was paved by the corpse of his son!

He suddenly understood that the unified army was borrowing a knife to kill people, he said that his son died in his own defense area because of an accident and would not take it to heart, but in fact he was holding a grudge and waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, and then thinking about those small tribes that vassal himself, he suddenly wanted to 'remarry' others, and it must be Li Jifeng who was making trouble! Even if he wins, he loses his elite, and when he goes back, he is afraid that his strength will be greatly damaged, and the most direct consequence is that he will be driven down from the position of the leader of the tribe and his relatives will be enslaved. Xiangdao here, Yeli's heart is cold, and the whip in his hand is also put down.

That night, Yeli to the Chinese army to the big tent with soldiers to lose too much, asked the unified army to send reinforcements to no avail, the next day to attack, but the progress is slow, in the afternoon, the left wing of the brave army division commander Li Jifeng to the front line to supervise the battle, seeing this anger, want to kill Yeli, the generals pleaded to avoid death, beat fifty military sticks, removed from the vanguard position, transferred to the rear army to be punished. Everyone understood at a glance that Yeli's people died in vain, everyone sent troops in advance, subsidized their families by plundering, and there was still oil and water behind other people's butts, and this deal was a loss. Danshi people did not have Xiangdao, Yeli this kid was bold, and at night he actually led the troops back to Yamato Fort, killed the main general who defended the city, robbed the grain and grass hoarded there, and passed Jialuchuan overnight to prepare to return to his nest. …,

．．．．．．

"Lord Wang, Yeli ran away, can we chase after him?" Yeli moved things back with large bags and small bags, not that no one found out, as soon as he left the kawaguchi, the scouts of the scout team found out, and Jiang Fei hurriedly returned to report.

"Yeli ran away? Did they find out what we were trying to do? Zhao Yong on the side couldn't help but say loudly.

"It doesn't look like the situation, the spies heard the shouting of killing in Yamato Fort, and then Yeli rushed out with people, and the pursuers were all killed by him, it should be Yeli who rebelled!" Jiang Fei analyzed.

"Let him go, he saved me a lot of tongue when he turned around!" Zhao Ta looked at the moon in the sky and said, they have been nesting in this valley adjacent to Yamato Fort for a few days, every day is to eat and sleep, sleep and eat, idle, watch the sun during the day, and watch the moon at night.

"Second master, when are we going to attack, Yijing has been fighting for two days in front, I wonder if Zhao Ren can withstand it?" Now although yijing is in May, it is still very cold in the danshi valley zhao yong tightened the big qi on his body and lay down next to the prince and asked.

"He has a battalion of the Xiangyi Army, five commanders of the Fan Han archers, plus nearly 5,000 original defenders, and he is defending the city, if he can't hold it for even two days, does he still have the face to see us?" Zhao Ta smiled and said, "We have to wait for the attack, that Cloud King has not suffered yet, and when he hits his head in Yamato Village and is exhausted, it will be the moment for us to attack!" ”

"Well, I'm worried that the old boy will be frightened by our guns, and he will run back without two hits, and our plans will all fail!" Zhao Yong still said with some worry.

"You don't have to worry about that, it's been two days, did you hear a cannon, our sharp weapons haven't been used yet, Zhao Ren is not as stupid as you, hurry back to sleep, the second master should also sleep!" At this time, Zhao Xin walked over and kicked Zhao Yong.

"Oh!" Zhao Yong rubbed his ass and left, the prince is still a little privileged, everyone is lying on the ground, but he still has a small tent that can shelter from the wind and rain, Zhao Ta took off his armor, took off his boots and got in, "Zhao Xin, you can also come in and sleep, the tent can lie down for two people!" As soon as Zhao Xin spread a felt mat on the side and unfolded his sleeping bag, he heard the prince speak, he hesitated, picked up his sleeping bag and got into the prince's tent.
