Chapter 171: The Curtain Rises
Grandpa Mao once taught the vast number of PLA commanders and fighters that 'the PLA will not fight a war for which it is unprepared, nor will it fight a war that is only prepared but not sure. 'Therefore, all combat operations must be carefully planned in advance and prepared as fully as possible; At the same time, it is necessary to anticipate the most difficult and complex situations and take them as the starting point for all deployments, but without careful planning and preparation in advance, it is impossible to fight a battle with certainty.
The scout's reconnoitring showed that Brother Cha had indeed played with a false shot, and after leading the army to the west, he suddenly turned south halfway, and Zhao Ta immediately concluded that his guess was not wrong, and his goal was Liangu, and he wanted to play a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Since he had identified the enemy's movements, Zhao Ta immediately beat the drum and gathered the generals, and issued several orders in succession:
1. Dou Junying, the lion general, assisted in the defense of Liangu, and after holding out until the evening, he withdrew into Xinqin, Linzhou; The lion commander Liu Biao's battalion assisted in defending Qu Yezhai, lured the enemy to cover them deep into the turbidity wheel, and concentrated 20,000 troops and horses in Hezhou to annihilate the 10,000 Xia army.
2. Order the two generals of Zelu Road, who were stationed in Xinqin, to immediately respond to the defenders of Liangu to rush grain and grass into the city, increase the strength of the defense, and send cavalry to attack the enemy attacking Xinqin to contain its main force of siege.
3. Concentrate the six battalions of the dragon generals, tiger generals, and leopard generals of the loyal and brave army, and the artillery battalion directly under the army, and the Fuzhou army, with Zhao Lian as the former enemy, to attack the summer army camp; Zhao Ta led the battalion guards and the engineer battalion, baggage battalion, scout battalion and 10,000 Hezhou troops led by Qu Rusuo, the commander of the Hezhou soldiers and horses, as the general reserve, and set up a defensive line in Duyangping, preparing to block and reinforce the Xia army.
As soon as the deployment was completed, the whole army immediately went into action. Received ammunition to replenish supplies, divided the leaders and orders, and slowly opened the curtain of the whole army of Chacha Goxi's expedition!
......
Now most of the Hezhou army has withdrawn to the turbidity wheel to set up an ambush, and Qu Yezhai only has a battalion of the loyal army and 3,000 elite defenders of the Hezhou army. Ye Li looked at Xia Jun, who was like an ant under Qu Yezhai, and suddenly had a sudden feeling. Last year, he was like these people, fighting around Yamato Fort, but under the First World War, he lost his troops and turned himself into a Great Song Dynasty, and now these former colleagues in the city seem to have embarked on their own path yesterday.
"Yeli Zhizhou, when are we going to retreat?" Liu Biao glanced at the Xia army who was preparing to attack the city and said to Ye Li.
"Okay, but isn't it too fake for the prince to lure the enemy into the depths, there are only 10,000 Xia army foot soldiers under the city. If we don't stop it and retreat, I'm afraid we won't be able to make Xia Jun believe it! Yeli said.
"Hehe, Lord Yeli, the prince asked me to do my bidding. You can fight as you want, and you can withdraw whenever you want, but tonight we must go to the turbidity wheel! Liu Biao didn't see Chage's Iron Harrier, and he couldn't help but be disappointed, his original task was to cover Yeli's army from Quyezhai to Turbidity. lest he be bitten by the tail of the Chage army, dragged to death, and secretly complained that the prince was too careful.
"Commander Liu, this measure is really difficult to grasp!" Nori said as he stroked his beard. I pondered in my heart, and I beat it hard. Xia Jun was beaten away and couldn't complete the prince's order, and the prince said that as long as he lured them all to the turbidity wheel. The captured captives were all distributed to them, and they were all strong men, and they were good laborers for farming and herding horses, and if they died too much, they would lose a lot; The fight was light, although this 10,000 Xia army had the cooperation of loyal and brave soldiers, it was still difficult to eat, and it became difficult to gain and lose between hesitation...
Liangu Zhixian received the information that the Western Xia army led by Brother Cha was about to attack, and his head immediately became bigger than Dou, Liangu used to be just a small walled fort, and later expanded into a city several times, and Chongning County was merged into Linzhou in the year of Chongning. Although it is located in the border, but occupy the main road, has always been the place where the soldiers must fight, the city is more than ten miles roundabout, it is a big city, after setting up a field here last year, it has become an important economic and trade place outside the border. …,
Since the resumption of the war this year, Liangu has become a lot of deserted and has become a place for grain, but Liangu Zhixian is still relatively optimistic, he thinks that with the power of the prince, he will be able to resist the enemy hundreds of miles away, and will not be affected by the war, but he did not expect that now it has become the fat in the mouth of Brother Cha.
Seeing the arrival of a battalion of cavalry of the Loyal Army, Liangu Zhixian was relieved after receiving the order of the prince, there were only 1,000 defenders and three battalions of Fan soldiers and archers in the city, and their main task was to guard the barn and escort the grain and grass, and it was not enough to fight against 50,000 Xia troops. He immediately summoned the third class of officials to mobilize carts and pack horses, transfer the grain and grass in the warehouse, and escort the people to the hinterland of Linzhou. The prince's order is to put people before things, the transfer of personnel has been completed, half of the grain and grass have just been transported, the advance of the Xia army has approached the city, and the door can only be closed immediately to prepare for battle, and the whole army will go to the city to resist the attack of the Xia army...
The situation of Xinqin is much calmer, the soldiers here are full of food, the defenders are up to 20,000, and the number of attacking Xia troops is on par, with the strong city to defend, you can be worry-free, and the Xia army received the order is also a feint to contain the Song army's troops, so this battle has not yet been fought, it is like swallowing water, tepid.
......
Zhao Ta sat in the Chinese army, probing horses and scouts kept coming to report, bringing together the situation here, he sat on the Hu bed, basking in the sun, drinking herbal tea, moisturizing very much, everyone saw the calm appearance of the prince, and they also settled down.
"Second master, although we have taken Fengzhou this time, but almost all of Hezhou is gone, and now someone has come to the table to impeach, saying that the prince is good at causing border troubles, resulting in the loss of the city and land, which is a great joy!" Seeing Xi, he looked around and whispered in the prince's ear.
"Cut, a group of fools, if this king doesn't send troops, they will impeach me for not saving me when I see death, and abandon the safety of the country, anyway, they are justified in what I do, don't pay attention to them for the time being, wait for us to annihilate Brother Cha, and subdue Henan to see how they still explain!" Zhao Tan snorted coldly and said.
"Second master, in fact, if we save the Western Front, if we capture Fengzhou and mobilize the Cha Ge Division, as long as we hold the front line of Mingtang River, there is no need to make such a big move, and now it is full of smoke, of course it will be true, and it will be thankless to work hard!" Seeing that the prince didn't pay attention to this, he said with a little complaint.
"If you want to make it so grand, if you give me another three years, as long as three years, I can train the generals of Hedong into an invincible and invincible strong army, but I can't wait for time, I can only think of eating this pot of raw rice!" Zhao Ta glanced at him and said.
In Zhao Ta's heart, although the loyal and brave army has become an army, but there is still a gap with his goal, with the current strength of the loyal and brave army, it can attack and defend, but it is limited to the number of troops, and can only barely bear the main force of the battle in one aspect.
This is a major issue in resolving the relationship between the strength of the enemy's vitality and the relationship between defending and seizing localities; under the conditions that the enemy is large and we are small, and the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is generally impossible to achieve the two goals of annihilating the enemy and seizing localities at the same time. Only after the annihilation of the enemy's vital strength can the enemy be able to defend or seize the place at the most rear. Especially in the strategic defense stage, even if some places are temporarily occupied by the enemy, as long as the enemy is destroyed, the lost territory can be recovered. Therefore, the seizure of places is the result of the annihilation of the enemy. Therefore, in the early stage of the war, the main focus is on the annihilation of the enemy's vital force, and in the middle and late stages of the war, with the transformation of the strength and weakness of the total military strength of the enemy and our own, it will gradually change to pay equal attention to the annihilation of the enemy and the seizure of places...
After a difficult night, the situation on the battlefield changed again, and the small red and blue flags on the sand table in front of Zhao Ta showed that Qu Yezhai had been lost, and Yeli led the army to abandon the city after annihilating 2,000 enemies in one day, and fought and retreated along the way. Throwing away a large number of military supplies, seducing the Xia army to chase in the direction of the turbidity wheel; Liangu was even more happy, they did not dare to fight with the Xia army, before the Xia army completed the siege, took advantage of the dark night to lose the treasury, ran all the way, and actually smashed the Xia army attacking Xinqin into a gap, fled into the city, and the two Xia troops marched thirty miles apart, and the 40,000 troops entered the turbidity wheel river one after another. …,
The time was ripe, Zhao Ta gave an order, and the loyal and brave army hidden in the Quye River immediately attacked, and Zhao Lian led the army out of the post shop, marching along the post road in a hurry, and appeared in front of the summer army camp with lightning speed. Zhao Ta also led the army to occupy Duyangping according to the plan, with the engineer battalion as the backbone, and built a circular defense line with sandbags in one day, which could intercept the Xia army of Chage's subordinate who returned to the reinforcements, and also blocked the Xia army of the Baotai Army who stayed in the camp to break through in this direction.
Now staying in the camp of the summer army is the Baotai military division of 20,000 foot cavalry, after the commander Liang Yi was assassinated, in order to stabilize the army's heart, Cha Ge appointed Liang Yi, the eldest son of Liang Yi, who went out with his father, as the commander of the army. Liang E is in his thirties, but he has fought with the army many times, and he has also beheaded generals before the battle, and he is quite a commander, seeing that the Song army suddenly appeared in front of the camp, he did not panic, and immediately went out of the camp to meet the enemy. Since the Baotai army sent troops, the point is a little back, all the way to fight not smooth, failed to cut off the Song army's retreat, the results are limited, and then the old army died inexplicably, and the head was cut off, it can be said that the crowd is excited, and vow to protect the great enemy.
The vanguard of the high pet in the two arrows away from the enemy immediately lined up, to the opponent's camp lookout, only to see the Xia army infantry in front, cavalry in the back, the wings of the rangers galloping back and forth, the soldiers on the forehead of the white belt, the armor inlaid with white edges, the whole army wearing filial piety, the Chinese army erected a white flag, the people under its banner, wearing iron armor, covered with white shirts, it seems that the main general Baotai Military Division of the new commander of the army Liang forehead.
After the two armies were arrayed, the Xia army suddenly rode out on a prancing horse, and the man on the horse was holding a long knife, dancing and roaring, galloping in the formation, challenging the Song army.
"Who would dare to cut the general?" Gao Pet's hands are itchy and tight, but the prince has a life, the general cannot be taken lightly, and he is even more opposed to the general before the battle, this kind of thing is a fool in the eyes of the prince, the general is a brain, not a showman, what are you doing with them. But this kind of thing, people will send out the horse, if they retreat, it will definitely affect morale, and Gao Pet has to meet the challenge. (To be continued......)
