…

After the Qianjun occupied Qinzhou, they fought westward along Weishui, wanting to capture Xizhou, and then marched to Xingyuan Mansion, where Zhao Gou was located, to complete the strategic strategy that Li Cun had given them to capture Zhao Gou and destroy the small court of the Western Song Dynasty.

But when the cadres reached Gongzhou, the cadres were ambushed by less than 1,000 men and horses led by the commander Liu Qiang.

In this battle, the cadres suffered a rare defeat.

-- In this battle, the 10,000 elite troops of the cadre army were almost completely annihilated, the commander Guo Wei was killed, the middle-level supervisor Li Lu was killed, and more than a dozen middle-level officers at the commander level were killed or wounded.

Guo Wei, the commander of the cadre army who was ambushed by Liu Qi this time, was a very important general of Wu Jue.

His family was represented by Guo Ziyi in the Tang Dynasty, and he was a general for several generations, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and deeply respected by later generations.

The Guo family has developed to the current generation, mainly with Guo Qin, Guo Hao, and Guo Wei.

At the beginning, Li Cun fought a decisive battle with Liu Yanqing, and Li Cun set up a crescent moon array and captured a large number of Song generals, among which the most famous and best developed were the two brothers Wu Jue and Wu Luan.

In addition to the two brothers Wu Jue and Wu Lan, the three brothers Guo Qin, Guo Hao, and Guo Wei were also captured and subdued by Li Cun at that time.

After that, the three brothers Guo Qin, Guo Hao, and Guo Wei followed Li Cunnan to fight in the north.

Later, after Li Cun became the emperor, he rarely personally commanded the troops to fight, so he divided the three brothers Guo Qin, Guo Hao, and Guo Wei under Wu Jue.

When the sixteen states of Yanyun were recovered, Guo Qin followed Wu Jue to defend Yuguan, and in the process of fighting with Wanyan Zongwang, he was shot by loss and unfortunately died.

Wu Jue has always regretted this matter, so he has been vigorously promoting the two brothers Guo Hao and Guo Wei.

The two brothers, Guo Hao and Guo Wei, are also angry.

Especially Guo Hao, he is a relatively balanced general, with a certain military ability, and he is also a good hand in domestic affairs.

Wu Wei has always taken Guo Hao with him and used it as his own deputy, while Guo Wei was sent by Wu Wei to lead the troops, and this time he sent Guo Wei to act as the main force in the west, wanting Guo Wei to make some more military achievements.

Who would have thought that Wu Jue's kindness cost Guo Wei's life.

First of all, I have to say that this battle is like this, and it must have a lot to do with Guo Wei's rash attack on the enemy.

But then again, because the cadres fought too hard and too smoothly in the early stage, and they sang all the way forward, as if whoever rushed fast had made great achievements, so it was normal for some cadres and generals to advance lightly against the enemy at this time.

Of course, this also fully shows that Guo Wei is only a second-rate general, because a real general will not make such a mistake.

And when the second-rate commander of the army, Guo Wei, advanced lightly and met the first-class famous general Liu Qi, it was not surprising that he achieved such a result.

In a nutshell:

When Liu Qi ambushed the cadres of Guo Wei's army, he saw that there were too many main forces of Guo's army and a large number of horse troops, and his troops could not be the opponent of Guo's army, and he also saw that Guo's troops were far behind in order to quickly break through, so he decided to let go of the main force of Guo's army and ambush Guo's baggage troops instead.

Calculated or unintentional, coupled with the fact that the combat quality of the baggage troops was not high, Liu Qi led less than 1,000 people under his command to completely annihilate Guo Wei's baggage troops in a battle.

And that's not even the worst.

Worst of all, Liu Qi seized a large amount of baggage and munitions of the cadres.

These included 10 unconscionable cannons, 150 tiger squat cannons, 200 swarming bazookas, 500 boxes of thunderbolts, and a large amount of ammunition.

In fact, if some officers and men of the Song Army who did not know anything about firearms seized these munitions of the cadre army, it would not be a big deal, because even if they got these munitions, they would not be able to use them, and if they did not know anything, they would have injured themselves.

But although Liu Qi has not been reused by the Zhao and Song dynasties over the years, he has never given up on himself because of this, on the contrary, he has been working hard to enrich himself, and has been studying the fighting methods of the cadre army, as well as the tactics of defeating the cadre army.

As for the firearms of the cadre army, Liu Qi had long studied them to the point that he was more familiar with them than any cadre general.

Some people may say, this is not right, how could Liu Qi come into contact with the firearms of the cadres?

Come on!

The two sides are fighting, although the cadre army has been winning and the Song army has been losing, but the Song army has been captured, even if it is picked up on the battlefield, it can always pick up some firearms of the cadre army.

Under such circumstances, as long as we are willing, we will certainly be able to get some firearms of the cadres and then find out how the firearms of the cadres are used.

In a nutshell.

Liu Qi is an expert in the use of dry arms and firearms.

Therefore, after receiving so many firearms from the cadres, Liu Qi's eyes lit up, and he immediately decided to give the cadres a big gift.

Soon, under the command of Liu Qi, Liu Qi's troops took out half of the firearms they had captured to ambush Guo Qi's troops, who hurried back to rescue them after learning that their baggage troops had been ambushed.

Needless to say, the results were almost completely annihilated......

The previous fierce and overwhelming offensive of the cadres was also forced to stop because of the defeat of Guo Wei's troops.

……

Coincidentally.

Under the fierce and overwhelming offensive of the cadres and troops, officials and generals at all levels in Shaanzhou fled one after another, and some officials and generals even only hated their parents for giving him two legs and running as fast as they could.

Only Li Yanxian, the stone trench captain, did not run.

Not only that, Li Yanxian also took the initiative to stick to Sanqi Mountain, a place where soldiers must fight.

Li Yanxian's real name is Li Xiaozhong, he has few great ambitions, and the people he interacts with are heroes, and he practices riding and archery in his spare time.

Because he lived on the border, Li Yanxian often observed the situation in the mountains and rivers, and sometimes took advantage of the Western Xia people to graze their cattle and take the good horses back home.

In the first year of Jingkang, when Li Cun first attacked the Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan issued a paper order to Qin Wang, and all counties recruited troops to Qin Wang.

So Li Xiaozhong summoned the militia to enlist, and 3,000 people entered Beijing to be rescued by King Qin.

Later, Li Xiaozhong was active in rescuing the king, and he may make up for Jielang.

When the cadres surrounded Taiyuan, Li Xiaozhong wrote to Zhao Huan, thinking that it would not work at all for the imperial court to rescue Taiyuan in this way, and he also impeached a group of rulers who did not know the soldiers and would mislead the country.

As a result, not only did Li Xiaozhong's good policy not get the attention of Zhao Huan Junchen, but Li Xiaozhong was also hunted down by the order of Yousi, forced to flee and changed his name to Li Yanxian.

Later, Li Yanxian went to Hedong Road to join the army in the division, and because he successfully spied on the intelligence of the retreat of the cadres to the north, he was able to fill the captain.

The Song army was defeated in Hedong and died in battle, and Li Yanxian went to Shaanzhou to meet Li Mida, the governor.

Li Mida asked Li Yanxian for advice on the defense of the northwest, and Li Yanxian put forward pertinent suggestions and detailed answers, so he was left as a general and stationed in Mianchi, Henan Province.

Later, Li Cun attacked the Song Dynasty for the second time, and Fan Zhixu commanded the reinforcements of the Six-Route Western Army.

Before the promotion, Li Yanxian suggested to Fan Zhixu: "It is a dangerous pass, it is difficult to garrison the army, and it is easy to lead to the collapse of the army if it advances and retreats." They should go their separate ways and look for opportunities to get out. Shaanxi should also be held with half of the army before further action can be taken. ”

But Fan Zhixu didn't know the soldiers, and he was still stubborn and self-serving, and he didn't listen to Li Yanxian's advice at all, but blamed Li Yanxian for being greedy for life and afraid of death, frustrating the army, and transferred Li Yanxian from his post.

As a result, Fan Zhixu marched to Qianqiu Town, and was defeated by Niu Gao with 3,000 cavalry, and the officials were scattered.

This time, the cadres marched westward, and Li Yanxian saw that everyone had run away, so he resolutely set up a banner of resistance in Sanji Mountain.

Some local people did not understand the military discipline of the officers and soldiers of the cadres, and were frightened by the propaganda of the small court of the Western Song Dynasty, so they came to Li Yanxian to protect their families and defend the country under Li Yanxian's control.

Li Yanxian said to the people who came to attach to him: "Yanxian is not from this county, unlike you and others who have lived here for generations. If you don't do your best, the cadres will kill you and rob your property and your wife and daughter, and you are willing to bear it? ”

So everyone joined the army.

Li Yanxian soon got more than 2,000 horses, he moved the old and young to Tuhua Village, and selected elites to garrison Sanqi Mountain, Shizhu Mountain, Datong Mountain and other places.

Li Yanxian said to everyone: "Although the cadres are invincible in many battles, it is easy to win, only in the past, the generals of the Song army could not deal with the law, but now we have a favorable location, and I also have a way to win, which is enough to defend myself." ”

Li Yanxian then taught the people to make gunpowder weapons.

To be honest, the gunpowder weapons manufactured by Li Yanxian had many problems, and their power was far less than that of the granular black powder firearms used by the cadre army.

However, Li Yanxian had obviously studied the firearms of the cadres with great care.

Therefore, although the gunpowder weapon that Li Yanxian imitated was much worse than the real Qianjun firearms, it already had the shape of a firearm, and could even be barely used to fight the Qianjun.

Soon, a partial division of the cadre army, under the leadership of the commander Yue Heng, attacked Sanqi Mountain.

Li Yanxian skillfully devised a strategy, first sent some elite soldiers to ambush, and then led his subordinates to fight head-on with the cadres with home-made gunpowder weapons.

When the two sides were fighting in the middle of a fight, the ambush soldiers that Li Yanxian had laid out before suddenly covered up from behind the cadres.

Yue Heng's cadres were caught off guard and fled in confusion.

When the news came out, people nearby rushed to join Li Yanxian, and Li Yanxian's team expanded rapidly.

Li Yanxian led these militiamen to seize a large number of firearms of the cadres, and then divided the troops into four routes, and within a month, they successively captured more than 50 camps of the cadres.

Li Yanxian became famous in a fight.

After the cadres occupied the city of Shaanzhou, in order to free up the main force to penetrate the Sichuan-Shaanxi region with all their might, they only left 3,000 regular troops in the city of Shaanzhou, let the surrendered troops and the soldiers who had not escaped assist in garrisoning, and sent local people to take official positions, and ordered them to recall the citizens back to the city.

Li Yanxian seized this loophole in the cadre army and took the opportunity to send soldiers into the city.

Soon after, Li Yanxian led his troops to attack the south gate of Shaanzhou, and the soldiers of the cadre army immediately went to the south city to resist.

However, that night, Li Yanxian's pre-ambushed naval army set out from Xindian, went down the river to Mengquanpo and Longtanggou in the northeast of Shaanzhou City, sneaked into the city, and echoed the army in the city.

The generals of the cadre army defending the city fought to the death and did not retreat, and in the end they were killed by Li Yanxian's militia to less than 1,000, so they could only abandon the city and flee.

Li Yanxian recovered Shaanzhou City in one fell swoop.

But Li Yanxian was not satisfied, he immediately united with the rebels from all walks of life to defend Shaanzhou, and appointed Hu Yeyi, the leader of the Hedong rebels, to be promoted along the river.

Hu Yeyi was dissatisfied that Li Yanxian only gave him this petty official, and planned to plunder the southern plains of Shaanzhou, and was then booby-trapped by Li Yanxian and obtained 5,000 of his subordinates.

Hu Yeyi's subordinate rebel army leaders Shao Long and Shao Yun originally wanted to avenge Hu Yeyi, but they surrendered under Li Yanxian's persuasion.

Li Yanxian then crossed the Yellow River and established a camp in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the people from Puzhou, Jiezhou and Taiyuan came to join him.

As a result, Li Yanxian sent Shao Long, Shao Yun and others to lead the army to attack Ruicheng in Shaanzhou, Yuxiang in Hezhongfu, Jiangxian and Zhengping in Jiangzhou, and Xie County and Anyi in Jiezhou, and won successes one after another.

】

Wu Jue, who didn't pay attention to Li Yanxian's militia before, knew that he had made a big mistake, so he hurriedly transferred Wang Yan to meet Li Yanxian.

Wang Yan was not a second-rate general like Yue Heng, and after he arrived in Puzhou, he immediately put away the arrogance that had appeared among the officers and soldiers of the cadre army, and did his best to fight Li Yanxian.

But Li Yanxian is not the kind of second- or third-rate general, he is also a first-class famous general, and he also occupies the advantage of geographical advantages and people.

As a result, the two sides have repeatedly tug-of-war here in Puzhou, and no one can defeat anyone.

Later, because Wu Jue sent Wu Ling to reinforce Wang Yan, Li Yanxian saw that the reinforcements of the Qianjun army had arrived, so he took the initiative to choose to retreat.

At this time, only the Shaanzhou City controlled by Li Yanxian to the east of Tongguan was still in the hands of the small court of the Western Song Dynasty, and its situation was very critical.

But Li Yanxian was not afraid of this, he stepped up the construction of the city wall, dug deep moats, expanded armaments, vigorously tuntian, and moved the whole family from Gongzhou to Shaanzhou, saying that he would die for his family and survive with the city.

Li Yanxian's loyalty moved the listeners.

Wu Jue sent Zhao Li to attack the city of Shaanzhou.

Zhao Li and Li Yanxian fought for seven days and seven nights under the city of Shaanzhou, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

In the end, Zhao Li, who saw that if he continued to fight, he would never have a chance to win, so he had to temporarily evacuate from Shaanzhou City.

Soon after, Wu Jue moved from Jiangzhou to Puzhou and Jiezhou, and sent troops to Shaanzhou.

After Li Yanxian learned through the spy report, he set up an ambush in Zhongtiao Mountain, severely damaged the cadres under Wu Jue, and captured 18 generals above the commander of the Daqian Dynasty, and Wu Jue escaped.

Not long after, Shao Long, a general under Li Yanxian, recovered Yuzhou, and Li Yanxian ordered him to know Yuzhou.

Li Yanxian appointed another general under him, Dang Songzhi Tongzhou.

However, due to the fact that Tongzhou City was still occupied by Wang Yan, the general of the cadre army, Dang Song's general was set up in Xiazhai, which was 30 miles away from Tongzhou City.

Zhao Gou, who was about to be frightened by the cadres, was overjoyed after hearing about a series of miraculous results that Li Yanxian had fought, and he said to the auxiliary ministers: "Knowing that Li Yanxian fought with the thieves and won the victory again and again, I was overjoyed and did not sleep. ”

So, Zhao Gou awarded Li Yanxian the governor of Shaanzhou and the pacification envoy, promoted the martial arts festival lang, and the pavilion gate Xuanzan Sheren, and gave him a robe, a gun and a sword.

At this time, some of the gentry and nobles in Hedong who were still loyal to the Zhao and Song Dynasty and the bandits and rebels who were loyal to the Zhao and Song Dynasty secretly sent people to take refuge in Li Yanxian, looking forward to joining forces with the Song army and recovering Hedong.

Li Yanxian guessed that the Qianjun army would soon join forces to attack Shaanzhou, so he immediately sent people to Xingyuan Mansion to ask Zhao Gou for support of 3,000 cavalry, and asked Zhao Gou to immediately send a large army across the river to attack Jiangzhou, Jinzhou, Fenzhou, Bingzhou and other places after the Qian's army attacked Shaanzhou, and directly smashed the key places of the Qian's army.

Li Yanxian also told Zhao Gou conclusively that if the small court of the Western Song Dynasty used troops like this, the cadres would definitely withdraw their troops to save themselves, and then cross the river from Lanzhou and Shizhou to the west, and return by way of Yanzhou and Yanzhou, and then they could take advantage of the victory to pursue and regain the lost territory.

However, Zhao Gou didn't believe that Li Yanxian said that the Arabian Nights could succeed, so he awarded Li Yanxian the right martial doctor, Ningzhou Observation Envoy and Tong, and Yu Erzhou System Envoy, and then persuaded Li Yanxian to give up Shaanzhou, empty the city and clear the wilderness, and gather according to the danger, and move at the right time.

Li Yanxian was very disappointed with Zhao Gou's eyes, and he also judged that Zhao Gou was also a person who did not understand military affairs, and not only did Zhao Gou not understand military affairs, but the rulers around him also did not understand military affairs, they actually put such a good opportunity to regain lost territory and not take advantage of it, how could this turn defeat into victory under such a critical situation?

After Li Yanxian hesitated again and again, he gave Zhao Gou another chapter, and then elaborated his overall strategic concept in detail, and patiently analyzed the situation that Shaanzhou could not be lost, and the small court of the Western Song Dynasty would be completely trapped in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region if it was lost, and did not follow Zhao Gou's "advice" and withdrew from Shaanzhou......
