Chapter 317: Retreat, Xiliang Governor's Mansion
The original intention of the Wubo army to go down to the plateau was to raise their might in the north and support the spread of Buddhism by force, but they ran into a bloody head at the first step.
In the first battle of Wuwei, more than half of the 100,000 Wufan elites were killed by the Xia army, and more than 40,000 people were captured or surrendered, including tens of thousands of monks and soldiers with strong combat power.
Only a few hundred people actually broke through from the gorge, and the main generals were all wiped out, and Battle chose to fight until the last moment.
It's just that he didn't understand until he died, why the Buddhas invited the Buddha at the cost of their lives, and the ending of the Wufan Army still didn't change at all.
Buddhism in the most glorious moment of heaven, once occupied half of the country, that is the belief that the remnants of Buddhism in the world persist, Buddhism is bound to prosper again.
But now that the Buddha of the West Heaven has lowered his will, he actually sat back and watched the fall of the Buddha land, and the believers still didn't care about the heavy casualties.
The 10,000 monks and soldiers could fight to the death, but they finally chose to surrender, but they were too disappointed.
Could it be that they have been abandoned by the Buddhas, and Wubo is no longer the Buddha country designated by the Buddhas?
As a handsome minister who has climbed up from the bottom for thousands of miles, Batel has deep wisdom, and naturally guesses that the Buddha they revere has reached some kind of agreement with the Xia King.
Can you pick it out? No.
He was afraid of the more serious consequences for the Buddhas, and if death was a condition of the agreement, then they would have to die.
The iron horse autumn wind is scattered.
Since the establishment of Qinzhou, this Xiongguan located on the border of Qinzhou has attracted much attention, and the city of Guancheng has changed hands several times in troubled times of successive dynasties.
The northern Qianlong wants to use the Dasan Pass to hold Xishu and even use it as a bridgehead to enter Shu, and the Xishu Qianlongdan has the slightest ambition to go out of Shu, and will inevitably find a way to break through the Dasan on Qinzhou's foothold.
In the history of previous wars, with the advantages of geography and people, most of the defenders who occupied the Dasan Pass won.
The hidden dragons of Western Shu often have to be dragged into the unified domain before they have time and mind to get out of Shu, and at that time, the powerful northern hidden dragons have already occupied Qinzhou, and will be properly managed by border Xiongguan such as Dasanguan.
It is difficult to enter Shu, but it is not difficult to block Shuchuan.
Du Yu got the help of his own good son to break the mystery of luck, and after taking Bajian Erzhou, he ignored the plain area around his mouth, but spent a lot of national strength to attack the Qinling Mountains.
This is not only to break the dragon lock on the general trend of luck, but also to learn the lessons of the predecessors Qinzhou is difficult to attack, and consider the actual situation.
Zhou Bai's actions were too fast, three years and two states, seeing that a powerful kingdom was about to border with Ba, so Du Yu had to think about curbing the expansion of Xia in advance.
Who said that the Xia Kingdom would definitely go to the north first, in case the ambition swelled to invade Xishu, the foundation subversion was just around the corner.
And if you don't take advantage of the current situation to take Dasanguan and the counties and counties such as Zhenxi and Jincheng behind it, and wait for the Xia State to rule firmly in Qinzhou, I don't know how much it will cost to go out of Shu from the north in the future.
Occupying the Qinling Mountains, just guarding the gateway to Shu, having the ability to protect himself in the face of the north, and mastering the land outside Shu can be regarded as a true dragon species that is expected to be the ninth five-year.
Further west of the Xishu Basin is the vast Wusi Plateau, which is separated by lofty mountains and mountains, which is dozens of times longer than the Qinling Mountains.
Therefore, since the ancient Shu period, although the two places have occasionally communicated, they have never had the idea of merging and expanding with each other, which is really difficult to overcome.
Mountain people who have lived in the jungle for generations may lose their lives across two regions at a time, and it is even more impossible for a walking army, and the casualties in non-combat are too large, and the logistics of grain and grass cannot keep up at all.
Du Yu paid the luck of the official to ask the Shu Sect to take action, and they used the advanced cultivators as spies and messengers to learn about the changes in the Wusi domain in advance, so they got a layout opportunity.
Wufan intends to base himself on the Central Plains and protect the Buddha with strong force, which will inevitably collide with the Xia Kingdom.
And as the saying goes, the sandpiper and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit.
The Qinling Mountains have been hard for more than a year, and the bloody battle to win the Sword Pavilion, the Golden Bull, the Slope Valley and other passes, is because of the convenience of gathering troops.
In fact, the early progress was also expected by Du Yu.
The Wufan vanguard broke into Qinzhou to attack Dasanguan, and the Xia State was prepared, but the main force was dragged by the puppet Qin king, and he could only defend the city with a few elites.
After several days of bloody battles, both sides suffered heavy casualties, the northwest servant army was broken in the ant-attached siege city, and the demon army that Zhou Bai relied on was also lost in vain at the Dasan Pass.
A total of 5,000 demon pawns were fought until the end of the ninth year of Tongzhi, and nearly half of them were lost.
On January 3, the tenth year of Tongzhi, at the foot of the northeast side of the Qinling Mountains, a number of strong and huge military villages were connected into a camp.
If you observe it, you can only feel that the army here is strong and mighty, like a tiger in the mountains, and it will go down the mountain at any time to kill.
This is the place where the Pakistani army gathered, 80,000 male soldiers drilled and prepared, and countless grains and grasses were piled up.
There are still remnants of the Qinling Mountains that have not yet been cleared, and the army also needs a stable rear, so it is necessary to build a stable camp here at any cost.
In case it is impossible to gain a foothold in Qinzhou, or even if the army is defeated and returns, there is still a line of defense to respond.
Of course, this is Du Yu's statement to the domestic and military departments, and he is actually full of doubts.
Originally, when the New Year was over, it was necessary to reward the soldiers who could not return to their hometowns for the New Year, which led to the fact that a large amount of baggage and materials had been consumed before the war officially began.
Du Yu and his personal guard Du Wangbai climbed high and looked into the distance, looking down on the Qinzhou Plain, and the most loyal guards when the two fathers and sons were talking could not get close.
"It is a foregone conclusion that both the Xia State and Wubo will be defeated, and our army will have the advantage in the rear, so is it too stable, and the grain transportation in Jianzhou and Bazhou will not be able to keep thirty percent here." Du Yu looked at the soldiers and men who were working hard to transport grain on the rugged mountain road, and asked puzzledly.
He held in his hand a letter from the Minister of the Interior, which contained many contents, either a certain powerful rebellion, or a certain granary was empty, and even mentioned the small actions of several sons.
In short, they are all knocking on the side to remind that there is a shortage of food, and there is a monarch who has been hanging out for a long time, and he should quickly return to the capital.
Du Wangbai looked into the distance, looked at the northwest from time to time, and looked at the direction of Dasanguan from time to time, his eyes flashed, and the invisible luck situation was all clear in his heart.
He didn't answer Du Yu's question, but asked rhetorically, "Doesn't my father think it's strange?" ”
"Why are you saying that reinforcements from the two armies have been delayed?!" Du Yu, as a Shudi Jiaolong, immediately reacted to what Du Wangbai was saying.
Pakistan, which has always been concerned about the situation in Qinzhou, except for the vanguard of the division in the battle at Dasanguan, has actually lost control of other movements of the two armies in just a few days.
It stands to reason that this is the norm, because Wufan and Xia are both big countries in the world, and they have strong luck, and once they move the real thing, they will naturally have corresponding means of covering.
But now that Du Wangbai brought it up, Du Yu realized that something was wrong.
"I don't know the details of the political and military system of Wubo, but if you look at the past achievements of the Xia army, the frontline has been fighting for nearly seven days and nights, how can the support be delayed?"
Without waiting for Du Yu to speak, Du Wangbai then said as if asking himself: "No matter how rich the Xia Kingdom is, the elite of the Demon Army will not be lost in the Great Dispersion Pass in vain, and the Xia King is a variable that all the immortal classes in the Heavenly Court cannot predict, and there will inevitably be a backhand in the face of the strong enemy of Wufan." ”
In the case that Pakistan did not intervene, Qinzhou's luck was originally a three-third game, the Xia State was on the side, the Wufan side was on the side, and the Qin Wangfu that burned the last fight of the Great Xu Yanyun was also counted as one side.
However, in recent days, Du Wangbai has deduced the heavenly opportunity and noticed that the general trend of fortune has changed very quickly, and it seems to be a situation of Ding Revolution and Victory, which shows that one of them may make significant progress.
The army of Qinzhou is full of energy, and the will of humanity is always concerned, and he can only judge a rough idea, which is based on his direct assumption that Zhou Bai's layout is successful.
"I heard that the Wufan Kingdom is supported by the Buddha of the Western Heavens, and now that he suddenly makes a move, he can at least capture Dasanguan and one or two Qin counties."
"The East and West Yitianfu Plain has been completely occupied by Meng Ji, and now it has been established and calls itself the Duke of Shu, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid it will be ......" Du Yu frowned, as a white vein to support the hidden dragon, he knew a lot of secrets.
Those who are interested in the king of Shu were robbed of their positions, and they didn't know how much unwillingness and anger they had accumulated.
"80,000 people, that's enough, let's go down the mountain and knock on the pass." Du Wangbai glanced at Du Yu and bowed slightly.
"This?" Du Yu was a little incredulous.
Du Wangbai said lightly: "Fighting for the dragon and fighting for the dragon, nine deaths and one life, it is impossible to have smooth sailing." Whatever the Xia King had, we would have to see it. ”
"If you can't get out of Shu from the north, it's the same if you go back and run Jiangzhou with all your might."
……
On January 5, the tenth year of Tongzhi, 80,000 elite Ba countries descended like a tiger to attack Qinzhou, and the Fengsui military village could not be stopped along the way.
However, a few days later, when they arrived outside the Dasan Pass, they saw an extremely shocking scene.
The vast and boundless crowd of people came from the northwest, and the yellow sand was blown by the cold wind, covering the sky and the sun.
It is not the Wufan army that wants to swallow Qinzhou, nor the grassland tribesmen who migrate in groups, there are 200,000 people, all of whom are soldiers belonging to the Xia State.
Knock knock, the rapid sound of drums and drums echoed in the wilderness outside the Great Scattered Pass.
The Wufan soldiers who were still attacking the Antfu Chong Pass saw that the 200,000 Xia troops in the northwest were frightened, and they rolled back to the camp one by one.
Where did the 200,000 troops of the Xia Kingdom come from, they still came from the northwest, and that side is the territory of the Wubo State, and the main force of the Wubo State is also on the way.
Isn't it...... The hearts of countless Wufan people were filled with panic.
Without waiting for the generals of the Wubo Vanguard Army to discuss the results, the Xia army launched an offensive without stopping.
Surrounded by three queyi, 200,000 troops attacked together, which was one of the few battles in which the Xia army pushed flat with the advantage of troops.
In less than half an hour, the Wubo vanguard camp was breached, except for 10,000 defeated soldiers who were driven away, the rest of the northwest servant army almost surrendered in formation.
With a strong camp and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, even if an army of 200,000 is coming, it is reasonable to be able to hold out for a few days.
But who let these servant armies not want to fight at all, the Xia army that came to attack the camp was none other than people from the northwest countries, including Wuwei, Gulang, Yongdeng, and Xihai......
All kinds of local sounds are mixed, as well as the personal persuasion of the country's nobles and even the lord, and it is really impossible to fight each other.
In addition, there are a small number of soldiers of the Wubo Chinese army who rushed with swords and swords, and Wuwei directly subdued many people in the first battle, and now they are only to establish meritorious deeds and obtain Xia Min's household registration.
"Surrender or die...... Don't resist, the northwestern countries have already been annexed to Great Xia, and the main force of Wubo has been destroyed......"
All kinds of "rumor" shouts are convincing, who is called his own family member to show up.
The wind and clouds are whirling, and when the Pakistani army wants to intervene in the war, everything has already settled.
And the Xia army also drove the defeated army to attack in the direction of the Qinling Mountains, and the goal can be imagined.
"Of the 200,000 troops, only 30,000 are the headquarters of the Xia army with distinct armor, and we have 80,000 to work for, or we can fight."
"The Xia army is menacing, so it is advisable to avoid the edge for the time being."
"Xia Guo pursues the strategy of elite soldiers, and now that the army is enveloped, it must be empty in strength, and it should be warned!"
"Please make a quick decision, once the army is defeated and the army is attacked, it will be difficult for us to leave."
On a dirt slope three miles away, the Pakistani army lined up and held each other, and many generals gave suggestions after observing the situation.
Generally speaking, the main battle faction occupies the majority, and it takes so much effort to go without a fight.
"The Xia army returned with a great victory, its morale is high, and it has its headquarters as its backbone, even if the army in the northwest is weak, it must be treated as a strong army."
"Marshal, flank birds flying, earth veins are moving, or there may be cavalry legions lurking closer." Du Yu's dragon warlock pointed into the distance, where the yellow sand was rolling and he couldn't see the enemy clearly.
Du Yu glanced at Du Wangbai, who was silent, and opened and closed his palms behind his back.
"Dashuai!"
"Alas, even if you win, you will lose both, so after the white pole army is broken, retreat." At this time, Du Yu glanced at Du Wangbai again, but he was still silent.
When the king sees the king, is it one party who avoids it?
On January 11, the Xia army completely annihilated the army of the Eastern Expedition of Wubo, forced the Pakistani army back, and won a complete victory.
On January 15, the Xia army entered the Qinling Mountains and confronted the Pakistani army at Jiange Road.
For several days in a row, the two armies fought endlessly, and Zhou Bai enshrined the lord of the seven military villages as the captain of Zhenshan, occupied the Yinping trail by taking advantage of the situation, and planted a nail in the place where the dragon was locked.
On January 20, the Xia Cabinet opened the world, expanded the northwest for thousands of miles, and called on people with lofty ideals to build a new land.
Great Xia set up the Xiliang Governor's Office, under the jurisdiction of eight counties in the northwest, within three years such as the education of Xiliang, the razor into Xia, will be changed to Liangzhou.
After more than 100 years, the Central Plains has expanded again, allowing tens of millions of people to multiply, what a great achievement.
