004 Yokoyama Fortress

At that time, after Yan Hongjing came to the front line, he relied on the art of war that he didn't know where he learned it, and began to forcibly interfere with General Wang's command. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info laymen command insiders, and the results can be imagined. The Tanguts immediately discovered the loophole, and then the entire Hengshan defense line began to collapse.

The commander of the Praetorian Guard who was responsible for protecting Yan Hongjing was also a military traveler. As soon as he saw this, he directly forcibly took Wan Yan Hongjing away. After all, his mission is only to protect Yan Hongjing's safety. As for what will happen to the Yokoyama defense line, it has nothing to do with him at all.

After serving as Yan Hongjing and his Praetorian Guards, after leaving the battlefield. The soldiers of the entire defense line rushed to run......

Lin Bufan and Qiu Chuji walked only ten miles forward, and they began to see soldiers retreating from the front line one after another.

However, what made Qiu Chuji puzzled was that most of the soldiers who retreated were the so-called elite brought by Wanyan Hongjing from Beijing...... Could it be that the Han army under General Wang has been completely wiped out......

When Qiu Chuji grabbed a soldier and questioned him, he found out. These people only retreated when they saw that the defense line was broken through and the coach ran away. As for the soldiers under General Wang's command, they should still be in the Hengshan Fortress and defend it.

When Qiu Chuji threw this soldier who had been frightened to the ground, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. said to Lin Bufan: "Back then, everyone said that 'the Jurchen was not satisfied with ten thousand, and ten thousand were invincible', but now it has become this virtue. On that day, the senior brother also said that now the imperial court attaches importance to Western Xia. After sending King Jing and 10,000 elites composed of Jurchens, the battle of Western Xia was decided. Hey hey!!"

Lin Bufan was very calm, he had already expected the combat effectiveness of these Jurchens.

"The Jurchens are less than 10,000, and they are invincible when they are full of 10,000", this sentence was said by Yelu Abaoji. The founding emperor of the Liao State back then, Yelu Abaoji, was in the war. I used to deal with the Jurchens who were still in the barbaric era. was amazed by their combat effectiveness, and set up a testament to make every successor of the Liao State wary of the Jurchens.

Pity. Although every Liao emperor followed Yelu Abaoji's teachings, he spared no effort to suppress and persecute the Jurchens. But no one has ever paid attention to the Jurchens. Afterward. It is precisely because he can't stand the oppression of the Liao people that he raised troops.

You must know that when Yan Agu started the army, there were only two hundred and fifty people. As long as the Emperor of Liao pays a little attention, it will be over. But the emperor at that time just sent a thousand people to send them away......

When Wanyan Aguda had more than 10,000 cavalry, Emperor Tianzuo of Liao led an army of 750,000 to conquer in person. But the 10,000 cavalry who were beaten by Wanyan Agu were wiped out. The Liao kingdom perished. Subsequently, the successor of Wanyan Aguda was to use twenty or thirty thousand people. was stunned to kill all the way to Bianliang, creating the shame of Jingkang and almost destroying the Great Song Dynasty.

Who would have thought that it has only been a few decades, and the Jurchen iron cavalry that swept the world has become like this......

However, Lin Bufan didn't have time to sigh, and rushed directly to Hengshan Fortress.

Yokoyama Fortress is the most important place in the entire Yokoyama defense line. Blocked the passage of Western Xia to the south. In other words, as long as the Hengshan fortress was not lost, the Xixia people would not dare to enter the two roads of Shaanxi. So at the moment when the tide of war collapsed. Wang Huanzhang did not hesitate to lead all the remaining subordinates to settle in Hengshan Fortress, ready to hold on to the last moment.

When the Yokoyama Fortress was built, it did not exist as an independent individual, but as the center of the entire Yokoyama defense line. In other words, Yokoyama Fortress. It is necessary to unite with other fortresses around it in order to play the greatest role. But unfortunately, all the fortresses were lost.

The Tanguts had already completed the siege of the Hengshan fortress from the front, left and right directions. This is a typical method of warfare, and the Tanguts hope that the defenders in the fortress will escape from behind. Then, the Western Xia cavalry covered from behind, and effortlessly wiped out the defenders on flat ground.

Li Zunxiang, the commander of the Western Xia army, thought that this plan was foolproof. It is everyone's instinct to want to live, no matter how much Wang Huanzhang suppresses it, it will not help, it will only make them more chaotic internally.

But Li Zunxiang's calculation was miscalculated, and there were nearly 3,000 defenders in the entire Hengshan Fortress, and none of them wanted to withdraw from the fortress.

This is not because General Wang Huanzhang suppressed it with a dead hand, but because none of the 3,000 defenders in Hengshan Fortress were willing to leave.

Death, of course terrible!!

No one is not afraid of death!!, but there are many things in this world that are more terrible than death.

These 3,000 defenders were all recruited by Wang Huanzhang on Yongxing Military Road and Qinfeng Road two years ago. These people all enlisted in the army with a heart to defend their hometown and family. They will be afraid of death, jokes!!

When Lin Bufan and Qiu came to Hengshan Fortress, Wang Huanzhang had just repelled an attack by the Western Xia people. Whether it is Qiu Chuji of the Quanzhen Sect or Lin Bufan of the Huashan Sect, it is still very prestigious in the entire northwest. So after confirming their identities, those soldiers took them to Wang Huanzhang.

When Lin Bufan saw Wang Huanzhang, he was unloading his armor. To be honest, it is absolutely uncomfortable to wear a heavy armor like this. After removing his armor, he smiled apologetically at the two of them, then picked up a bowl of cold water and drank a few essences of light with a bang.

It's a cold winter now, and drinking cold water like this can only show that he is extremely thirsty. After drinking the water, he frowned visibly uncomfortably.

But in a blink of an eye, he said to Lin Bufan sincerely: "Brother Haoxuan has a heart, there is a Laolin Guan Master who is tired, and Qiu Zhenren is bothered." However, Wang was ashamed and failed to hold Hengshan, so that the old folks could ...... disappointed......" When it came to the end, Wang Huanzhang couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

Seeing Wang Huanzhang like this, Lin Bufan hurriedly persuaded: "This matter is that Wanyan Hongjing, a guy who talks on paper, is blindly commanding, what does it have to do with the general." The fact that the general was able to make a quick decision and hold the fortress of Hengshan is already very remarkable. ”

"That is, when Poor Dao came, he saw that there were Jin people's routs everywhere along the way. On the contrary, it is under the command of the general, who is still holding on. What else is the general talking about to be ashamed of, if he wants to be ashamed, it should be the shame of those gold people who claim to be elite. Seriously, Poor Dao really didn't expect these now, and the Jin people who were scared by the Tangut people were really the Jurchen iron horsemen who dominated the world back then?"

Wang Huanzhang heard Qiu's question. Depressed. Astringent said: "Not only can real people not believe it, even I can't believe it." I was really cheering when they came that day, after all, these people looked quite like that. So when Yan Hongjing forcibly intervened in the command. I approve of that too. If those Jurchen soldiers are really brave, then Wanyan Hongjing's strategic deployment is right. But...... Who would have thought...... Who would have thought...... Alas――――――"

After hearing Wang Huanzhang's sigh, Lin Bufan said: "Who would have thought that they would be completely vulnerable. This is normal, the Jurchens lived in the Changbai Mountain area all year round. There is a lack of food and clothing, and the environment is harsh. Those who can survive are all extremely brave characters. Therefore, when the Jurchen tribe appeared as the eloquent leader of Wanyan Aguta, it completely soared into the sky. But when the Jurchens occupied the prosperous land of the Central Plains, they did not worry about food, they were not forced by hunger and cold, and how much of their bravery remained. In "Mencius", there is "born in sorrow." Die in peace'. ”

After Wang Huanzhang listened, he bowed his hand to Lin Bufan, even if he was taught. After all, it no longer makes sense to ask why the Jurchens are vulnerable.

After Lin Bufan and Qiu Chuji glanced at each other, Lin Bufan spoke: "Now the Hengshan line has completely collapsed. What Daoist Qiu and I mean is to ask General Wang to take the overall situation first and withdraw from the Hengshan Fortress. Keep it useful for the future. After all, the imperial court has completely lost hope, and now there are two roads in Shaanxi. The lives of millions of people are pinned on the general, so ......"

"I understand what you mean, and Wang is not a person who doesn't know the general situation. But it can't be withdrawn now. I really can't pull it out. ”

With that, he stood up and invited the two of them to a hanging map on the left side of the room. He pointed to the Hengshan Fortress, and then slid all the way down to Yan'an Mansion. He said: "Do you understand, as long as we leave the Hengshan fortress, the cavalry of the Western Xia people." will cover up in the back. From Hengshan Fortress to Yan'an Mansion, along the way, it was all flat land, and there was no danger to defend at all. In this kind of terrain, we 3,000 people will definitely not be able to walk five miles, and the whole army will be wiped out......"

After Lin Bufan and Qiu Chuji glanced at each other, they were helpless, Wang Huanzhang was obviously secretly changing concepts. Lin Bufan meant to let Wang Huanzhang focus on the overall situation and abandon all the defenders. Retreat under the cover of Lin Buheqiu...... Well, it's the escape......

But Wang Huanzhang is emphasizing that the problem that the entire army can't go far, that is, he is saying that he will live and die with his army.

At this time, what Lin Bufan and Qiu could do was to stay and protect him. Then, after the loss of the Yokoyama fortress, he protected him and retreated.

After making up his mind, Lin Bufan spoke: "Since this is the case, then let me and Dao Chang Qiu stay and do our best!!"

"Soldiers, fierce and fierce! The two Taoist leaders are all outsiders, so why bother to wade into this troubled water?"

"It's good that I'm from Fangwaizhong, but I'm also from Huayin County. Under the nest, there are eggs. I'm good at medicine and I can heal the sick and wounded. My medical skills, General Wang should believe it!!"

Faced with this temptation, Wang Huanzhang could not refuse. The doctors in the army were separated when the whole line collapsed. Now there is not a single doctor in the entire Hengshan Fortress, and the wounded and sick are injured, so they can only find a few veterans and get some medicinal materials according to their experience......

Lin Bufan's medical skills, it should be said that the medical skills of the Huashan faction have always been powerful in the world, how can Wang Huanzhang not believe it.

However, Lin Bufan stayed, and he was very welcome, but Qiu was ......

Qiu Chuji found that Wang Huanzhang looked at it, and said: "The same is true for the poor road, the general must not underestimate the poor road." ”

As soon as he spoke, he grabbed the back of the chair next to him, and with a slight force, he broke off a piece of wood from the back of the solid wood chair. After that, he took the piece of wood in his right hand and rubbed it continuously. The piece of wood turned into sawdust and sprinkled on the ground......

In this way, Lin Bufan and Qiu Chuji stayed in Hengshan Fortress.

Qiu Chuji was responsible for protecting Wang Huanzhang closely, while Lin Bufan went to the wounded barracks to treat the wounded. Qiu Chuji knew that Lin Bufan's martial arts were higher, but now the most suitable place for Lin Bufan to go was definitely the wounded barracks.

However, before Lin Bufan went to the wounded barracks, he reminded Wang Huanzhang: "General Wang had better send people to the area of Yan'an Mansion now and tell the people there." The Tanguts are about to come in, tell them to take care of it. ”

After Wang Huanzhang heard it. Immediately patted his head in annoyance. He was confused, although the Hengshan Fortress was stuck at the pass of the Tangut people's southward movement, it was not that the Tangut people could not go south, but they could not go south with all their might. But the Tanguts sent some small troops to burn and loot. It's still okay......

So he immediately sent people to the southern Yan'an Prefecture area to inform the people of the news. The people here have been suffering from war for many years, and they already have a set of ways to deal with it. It is better to hide in the mountains, in the dense forests, or in a walled city. It's better than being stupid to stay at home and be killed, or taken into slavery......

At that time, when the war situation collapsed, Wang Huanzhang actually didn't think about anything. Just instinctively. only retreated to the fortress of Hengshan. However, Lin Bufan's words just now gave him the determination and belief to stick to it, that is, to buy enough time for the escape of the people in the rear......

For a while, Wang Huanzhang regained his spirit and increased his fighting spirit......

――――――――――

And at this time, in the camp of the Tanguts. Li Zunxiang, the commander of the Western Xia Army, was receiving several special people.

These people are all from a special institution in Western Xia, Xixia Yipintang!!

The origin of Xixia Yipintang is quite long, when Li Jiqian, the ancestor of Xixia. When he was appointed as the "Commander of the Difficult Military Administration", he once recruited some strange people with strong martial arts to work for him. At that time, Li Jiqian jokingly said, if I become the emperor in the future, I will make you all a first-class member. All of them made countless contributions to the founding of the Western Xia.

Later, Li Jiqian's grandson, Li Yuanhao, officially founded the country as the emperor and respected Li Jiqian as the ancestor. After that, Li Yuanhao fulfilled his grandfather's promise. Of course, it is impossible to make them a first-class master, but Li Yuanhao established a first-class hall. Those who claim to be in the first class. Martial arts are all the same.

In Yipintang, some people with the best martial arts enjoy the treatment of Yipin masters in Western Xia.

This is very remarkable, you must know the official system of the Great Song Dynasty inherited by Western Xia. There are only a lot of people in the first product. Left and right prime ministers, Taibao, Taishi, Taifu, Shaobao, Shaoshi, Shaofu, Prince.

This specification has skyrocketed. Because under normal circumstances, in addition to the prince and the prime minister, the other six may not necessarily have them.

Therefore, although Li Zunxiang is the prince of the county, when facing these people, he has to salute obediently. Don't talk about him. Even his father is half a level younger than this leader. The king of the county belongs to the first product......

The leader of the several people was an old monk with a snow-white beard.

The old monk said to Li Zunxiang: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to the Battle of Hengshan. So he ordered the old man to take a few people on a trip to help the son. But I didn't expect that the prince was not only brilliant in writing, but also extraordinary, and it only took half a day for the prince to take down the entire Hengshan. There are a few old monks, but they seem redundant, hehehe......" After the old monk finished speaking, he stroked his beard and laughed, looking extremely happy, and he was not annoyed by running in vain.

Li Zunxiang bowed to the old monk and replied: "The master has worked hard all the way, and Zunxiang has thanked him." But the master doesn't know that you have come at the right time. ”

After finishing speaking, he invited a few people, came to the table, and spread out a marching map. Pointing to the Hengshan Fortress, he said: "Now, Wang Huanzhang is guarding the Hengshan Fortress with the elite under his command. If we do not take the fortress of Yokoyama, our army will not be able to move south with all its might. So I've already planned to attack tonight at night and take the Yokoyama Fortress in one go. A few people can just sneak into the Hengshan Fortress, join forces inside and outside, and capture Wang Huanzhang!!" At the end, Li Zunxiang slammed his fist on the table.

The old monk stroked his beard and looked at the map, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, the Hengshan Fortress must be taken, and Wang Huanzhang must die." But the old man was old and his legs were inconvenient, so he didn't go. I used to hear that Shizi has unparalleled chess skills, so why don't you accompany Lao Ke tonight and talk about a game?"

"I don't dare to ask for !! if I want it"

The four people behind the old monk bowed to the old monk and left. The old monk's meaning is obvious, it is to let them make a move.

Everyone also knows the temper of the old monk, after all, he is a member of the Buddhist family, "compassion is the cherish". He will only make a move when he encounters those who are strong. It seems that there is no master in Yokoyama Fortress that is worthy of his shot......
