Chapter 504: One Bad Move (Plus Change)
From the beginning to the end of the war, there was not even half an hour.
When Wang Deyong heard the news, he just wanted to send reinforcements, but found that it was too late.
For this reason, in Xincheng, Wang De was so angry that he scolded, and the demeanor of the literati was gone, and he pointed to the temporary generals under his command to speak, which was as ugly as it sounded.
After scolding and venting, Wang Deyong's gaze fell on Wang Miao's body, "General Wang, you will be responsible for guarding Chenghou Mountain next, and you can't lose it anyway."
Xinkou Village is gone, if Cheng Houshan is also lost, Xincheng will be completely open, and then, as long as Meng Qi wants to, then he can kill all the way, and there will be no obstacles.
This shows the importance of Chenghou Mountain.
When Wang Miao heard the order, his heart sank.
What are you kidding, without Xinkou Village, Cheng Houshan is now equivalent to the first line, and now that he is there, he will not face the iron cavalry of the Mongolian army head-on?
Whoever guards there is looking for death.
I didn't want to agree in my heart, but this was Wang Deyong's order, and if he didn't agree, it would be disobedience.
Wang Miao believed that if he really did this, Wang Deyong might look at King Jing's face and would not immediately cure his own sin. But when he turns around, he will write a fold to Bianliang, and he will put all the responsibility for the defeat on himself.
Wang Miao brought Long Wuwei out this time for training, and he came to gain combat merits. It's not here to confess.
At this moment, he missed Su Shi even more.
At least then, no one will dictate what they do. But now...
The past is unbearable.
Seeing that Wang Deyong's eyes were still staring at him, Wang Miao had to clench his fists and promise, "The last general will take the order." However, Long Wuwei's troops are too small, less than 4,000, and I am afraid that we alone will not be able to accomplish this important task."
"It's okay, the old man is allocating 5,000 soldiers to you to help you guard Chenghou Mountain."
Wang Deyong had already thought of this. Besides, those old and weak soldiers, no matter how much they are pulled out, he will not feel distressed.
"Okay, everyone cheer up, the reinforcements of the imperial court are about to arrive, and the old man also wrote to General Wang Xin of Langu City, asking him to return to Xincheng, and before long, we will be strong and strong here, and when the crisis is solved, everyone will be a hero, a hero, hahaha."
Wang De said with a smug face.
Requisitioning Wang Xin's army, this is also a way out of the way.
Wang Deyong didn't want to come to the north by himself, and he was defeated before he could build an inch. But seeing that the reinforcements from the Beijing division were not coming for a long time, he didn't dare to wait, so he made a ruthless decision to transfer Wang Xin to Xinzhou.
Speaking of which, the place where Wang Xin is located is very important.
His presence isolated the union of Western Xia and the Mongol armies, leaving them to fight on their own.
The significance is still very significant. At least without the united alien races, they may not have the ambition and confidence to enter the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty.
Su Shi could understand this truth, so after he came to the north, he didn't contact Wang Xin.
The imperial court can also see that when Wang Deyong repeatedly urges reinforcements, he has no idea of beating Wang Xin.
Wang Deyong can actually see it, but if someone else is in Bianliang, he will naturally not do anything, and the question is that he is not in Xinzhou now?
Different angles of standing will naturally lead to different ways and methods of doing things.
Transferring Wang Xin back to Xinzhou is even worse in terms of the overall situation. But for Xinzhou, it's a good thing.
No matter how bad it is, once Wang Xin returns to Xinzhou, even if he loses the battle, Wang Deyong can find the person who tops the cylinder. That's what he was happing with.
As for whether the letter can be delivered to Arashiya Castle. Regarding the blockade of the place, it is not allowed to enter but not to leave, that is, the letter can be sent in, but the letter cannot be replied to.
In this way, it is beneficial to Wang Deyong, he only needs to give an order, and as for Wang Xin wanting to refuse, his voice cannot be heard.
Xinkou Village was captured, which was a signal that the Mongolian army was going to counterattack.
This is also the meaning of the Liao State, they have a large number of troops into the Song Dynasty, and they can't all stay in Shigu Mountain.
It's better to talk about fewer people, but it's not appropriate if there are too many people.
In the sixth year of Qingli, in July 1046 AD, the vanguard of the Liao State entered the Song Dynasty from Taixi Mountain and went straight to the Xinkou Village occupied by the Mongolian army.
In order to cover their whereabouts, the Mongol scouts began to push forward, cordoning off the area and not allowing anyone to enter.
In the face of the aggressive Mongol army, the Song army chose to keep retreating, waiting for the main force of Wang Xin's army to come to help.
......
Arashiya Castle.
Wang De's messenger easily entered from the outside.
General Wang Xinda, however, did not see the appearance of the messenger. He wondered, why didn't the Mengcai and Western Xia cavalry outside the city intercept these people halfway?
Since I can't receive Wang Deyong's order, I don't have to worry about it like now.
In fact, there is another way, that is, Wang Xin ordered the messenger to be killed, along with the accompanying party of more than ten horsemen.
Come to a ruined corpse, and then die without admitting it.
It's just that he is not so ruthless, he can give an order to a foreign race and kill hundreds of people and thousands of people, but for his own family, Wang Xin really can't do this.
The messenger is Wang Deyong's confidant, in order to allow Wang Xin to send troops, the credit for the defeat of the Mongolian cavalry and the defeat of the Western Xia army is placed on Wang Deyong.
In his words, after the privy envoy came to the north, he defeated a strong enemy in a row, which greatly shocked the prestige of the Song people, and also frightened the Mongolian cavalry to retreat, and the Liao people did not dare to use troops on the battlefield. This time, he asked Wang Xin to go out, that is, to join forces in one place, first blast Meng Qi out of the Song Realm, and then turn back to fight Western Xia.
"General, the privy envoy said that only by joining forces can we become stronger, and when the time comes, we can fight whoever we want, and no one can stop us. On the other hand, if we just blindly defend, we will be too passive, not to mention, and it will make people underestimate our Song army, and it will increase the enemy's might."
Wang Xin looked at him as if he didn't know Wang Deyong, and his face was full of doubts, "What you said is true, the Privy Counsellor has won two battles and two victories, and now the situation has been stabilized?"
"It's nature." The messenger replied proudly, with his hands on his back.
Although the other party admitted it, why did Wang Xin not believe it in his heart.
What kind of virtue and ability Wang De uses this person, Wang Xin naturally understands.
He is a person who is extremely unconfident, always thinks that the Song people are inferior to other races, and his military point of view is also based on defense. But he has won two games in a row, and now he is even more demanding to take the initiative to attack, all of which is too abnormal and too unlike his style.
"General, everyone changes. The Privy Envoy has been in obscurity before, and not only has he paralyzed you, but this time he has even deceived the enemy. Just when everyone thought that the privy envoy would defend the enemy when he arrived, the privy envoy suddenly turned defensive into offense, and the enemy was caught off guard."
The messenger was clever and clever, and the king believed it in the end.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, the important thing is that Wang Deyong is a privy envoy and a reinforcement sent by the capital to the north, so no matter which aspect you look at, his status is much higher than Wang Xin.
When the superior official speaks, how can the subordinate not listen.
Although the Great Song Dynasty implemented the policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, and had been guarding against the generals, in fact, the generals were still very obedient.
is like the Southern Song Dynasty in the back, even if Yue Fei is so capable of fighting, wasn't he called back by the gold medal in the end?
Wang Xin is also a loyal minister in his bones, otherwise, he would not have won the trust of Zhao Zhen and other ministers to take charge of the army in the north.
Wang Xin decided to go to Xinzhou to meet Wang Deyong. The 80,000 army, which had not moved, suddenly opened, except for the 20,000 troops left behind to defend the possible pursuit of the Western Xia army, the other 60,000 troops were all in the vanguard, and launched an attack on the Mongolian army guarding the east outside the city with an indomitable momentum.
This move greatly surprised Meng Qi, and he couldn't figure out what the Song army was going to do, so Jebu didn't stop it, but kept retreating.
Wang Xin suddenly changed his defense to offense, and also caught the Western Xia army off guard.
On the premise that they couldn't figure out the reason, they didn't immediately pursue it, for fear of falling into a trap. It wasn't until a few days later, when it was learned that the Song army was really retreating, that the whole army was put on board and launched a fierce attack on the 20,000 Song troops after the break.
Wang Xin took advantage of the fact that no one figured out his intentions to fight, and went out of Lan Valley and went straight to Xinzhou through Jingle.
It took seven days, and outside Xincheng, Wang Xin finally came with an army. At this time, the original army of 80,000 was less than 70,000 left.
In order to cover the safe evacuation of the army, the 20,000 Song troops after the break were desperately blocked, and the cost of losing more than 10,000 people bought time for Wang Xin's withdrawal.
Wang Xin's departure also made the situation in the north, which was gradually becoming stable, boil again.
Without Wang Xin's barrier in Langu City, there was no barrier between the Western Xia army and the Mongolian army, and they could finally enter the hinterland of the northern border of the Great Song Dynasty smoothly.
The two armies cooperated with each other, collided with each other, and galloped on the land of the Great Song Dynasty, as if entering a no-man's land.
The main force of the Song army shrank in Xincheng, and there was no obstacle for foreign races to enter the Great Song Dynasty. And it was at this time that 20,000 Liao army pioneers from the Taixi Mountains in the north also appeared at the foot of Shigu Mountain, and so far, the preliminary alliance of the three clans has taken shape.
Outside the city, the banners of the three clans suddenly appeared, and from a distance, the enemy was overwhelming and boundless.
Wang Xin, who had just entered the city, knew that he had been fooled.
It's just too late, he had to let his soldiers take over the city defense, and go to the government office, he wanted to see Wang Deyong and ask a clear question, why the situation is so erosive. Look at the book
Wang Deyong was already frightened at this time.
originally thought that when Wang Xin was transferred to Xincheng, he would have enough soldiers around him to protect him, so that his safety would be guaranteed.
Wang Xin is a man who knows the army, and when the time comes, the army will be handed over to him, and he will fight it.
If you win, you will get merit.
Defeated, the other party takes the blame.
