Chapter 7: Distant Legends: Sixty-two, The First World War Determines the Situation
Zhu Tingzhu was also not polite, and said, "In the end, it is the frog at the bottom of the well, where will you know how big the world is." ”
Yang Zaixing listened with fascination and said, "Uncle Zhu, what happened later?" Did the Tanguts send troops again? ”
Zhu Tingzhu said a little dryly, picked up the wine bowl in front of him and took a big sip, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "Soon after this battle, the Western Xia people sent an army of 100,000, which is almost the elite division of the Western Xia pouring the whole country. But that's what the Presbyterians want. When the Western Xia invaded for the first time, the Council of Elders decided to beat the Western Xia to the heart, so that the Western Xia people were not only unable to commit it again, but were afraid when they heard the word Bogda. ”
When Zhu Tingzhu said this, almost everyone was asking how this battle was fought? Although everyone knew in their hearts that this battle must have ended in the defeat of the Tanguts. But everyone still wants to know how the thousands of Bogda defeated the 100,000 army of the Tanguts.
Zhu Tingzhu said: "In fact, this battle is not shocking, and there is really nothing to say. In short, the 100,000-strong army of the Tanguts was wiped out, and only one Bogda was slightly wounded. When Zhu Tingzhu said this, he sold Guanzi.
When Zhu Tingzhu said this, almost everyone didn't believe it. Deng Ziqi laughed out loud and said, "It's not that the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it is, but it's out of line." I know, it must have been Bogda's order, and the 100,000 troops of Western Xia collectively drew their swords and killed themselves. Wanyan Aguta also said, "Brother Zhu has said a little too much, could it be that there is something else in it?" Wang Zhongfu frowned, as if thinking about why this battle would result like this.
Zhu Tingzhu said, "I am telling the truth, to be precise, this battle was not fought at all. Faced with the 100,000 army of the Tanguts, the Bogda people all went out and did only two things, moving and building a lake. ”
Everyone waited for Zhu Tingzhu to say it, not knowing what these two things had to do with the destruction of the 100,000 army of the Western Xia people.
Wang Zhongfu let out a long breath and said, "I understand, the battle of Bogda was to release water to drown the 100,000 army of the Tanguts. ”
Zhu Tingzhu looked at Wang Zhongfu, "This brother Wang is really extremely smart, and he can understand it at all." Bogda released the water into a lake, thus burying the 100,000 troops of the Tangut people at the bottom of the lake. Since then, there has been one less grassland at the foot of Bogda, but one more large lake with a radius of dozens of miles. Later, Bogda raised fish in the lake. Now the fish in the lake have grown up, and the taste is particularly delicious. After this battle, the Western Xia could no longer afford to attack. From then on, every year after the New Year's coins of the Great Song Dynasty were sent to the Western Xia, the Western Xia would obediently send half of them to Bogda, just begging Bogda not to offend the Western Xia. ”
Wang Zhongfu thought for a moment, "I still don't understand, even at night, even if the Xixia people are defenseless, it is still very difficult to let none of these 100,000 people escape." How did the Bogda do it? ”
Zhu Tingzhu said, "In fact, no one thought that this would be the result before. I remember that two days before the arrival of the 100,000 troops of Western Xia, when the elders asked everyone to move things to the mountain, everyone had a nervousness in their hearts that they had never felt before. Although everyone is not afraid, they all know that the next battle will definitely be hard. All of them are almost ready to die. After everyone moved their furniture to the mountain, the Presbyterian Church let everyone return to their homes. Although they did not understand the purpose of the Presbyterian Church, everyone believed in the Presbyterian Church. So they went back to their homes and prepared for battle, as the Council of Elders had arranged. The day before the arrival of the Western Xia army, the Council of Elders sent four elders, each leading three hundred people to make a detour to the back of the Western Xia army. On the day the Western Xia army arrived, Bogda did not cross the river to engage in battle, but held on to the riverbank. In the evening of the same day, the Council of Elders suddenly told all the women and children to immediately withdraw to the mountain, and all the men of appropriate age took their tools and set off with the three elders sent by the Council of Elders. That night, I followed the god of war to the source of a river that had been closed a few years ago, and the god of war told everyone to dig up the dam as fast as possible. Everyone doesn't understand, why didn't the god of war take everyone to fight, but took everyone to destroy the river dam in the middle of the night? The god of war told everyone that a few days ago, he had led people to block the lower reaches of the river. Tonight, all three headwaters of the river will be opened. By tomorrow, the river that has been stored for several years will form a large lake in the area where everyone lives, and the 100,000 troops of Western Xia will be buried at the bottom of the lake. It's just that everyone can't get over the addiction of war, and it also tires everyone to rebuild their homes. It was only at this time that everyone understood the purpose of the Presbyterian Church. Although the home was destroyed, it can be rebuilt in the future. The big guys are all working hard. A benevolent brother accidentally hit his foot with a pickaxe. This was the only one injured this time. After dawn the next day, the god of war took everyone to a high place to watch. I saw three huge rivers erupt out, forming a mighty whirlpool on a huge grassland. The original grassland is gone, the original home is gone, and the 100,000 Western Xia troops stationed on the previous day are also gone. Between heaven and earth, there is only an endless stream of water. ”
Wang Zhongfu frowned, "I understand, Bogda is using the terrain to rotate the three rivers from the outside to the inside, in fact, it is to use the torrent to surround the 100,000 troops of Western Xia first, and then submerge." With the use of soldiers like this, it has reached the heavenly realm, and the god of war is really worthy of the word god of war. With the lake as a barrier, Bogda can rest easy. The peoples of the steppe are all good at riding and shooting, but none of them can fight in the water. It was planned many years ago to accumulate water. I am afraid that in the previous World War II, Bogda used a lot of artillery, and it was not just as simple as killing the enemy, it seems that there are other intentions. It's a pity that I can't go to the battlefield to survey and be taught. If I'm not mistaken, there must be something else at the bottom of this big lake at the foot of Bogda. Even if Western Xia or Da Liao can transport warships to this lake, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. Bogda should have planned a countermeasure a long time ago, if the Western Xia or Da Liao soldiers don't come, if they come, I'm afraid the result will be the same as before. I dare not say that there is no one who can use the law of war like this, but it is certainly unprecedented. Speaking of this, Wang Zhongfu looked up to the sky and sighed, "In vain, I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, and my conceit is not inferior to any soldier in the world." But when I heard about this person today, I could only be ashamed of myself. ”
Bi Jiu at the other table listened to Wang Zhongfu's words and raised his glass to invite, "Brother Wang's opinion has opened my eyes." Brother Wang, why don't you come over and have a drink together? ”
Wang Zhongfu said, "Then it's bothering." ”
