Chapter seventy-ninth army pressure

In the main hall of the Xingqing Palace of Xixia, Xia Chongzong Li Ganshun looked at the dejected civil and military ministers in the court and shouted: "I usually speak smoothly, but now I don't have a single word?" The ministers in the palace lowered their heads and looked at me, and I looked at you, but they just didn't dare to speak.

When the news of the annihilation of Cha Ge's army reached Xingqing Prefecture, Xia Chongzong was so scared that his face turned pale and his legs were trembling, and he was completely at a loss. When Tong Guan led an army of 300,000 to attack at the same time, Xia Chongzong felt that the destruction of the Western Xia Kingdom was right in front of him. The only general that Xia Chongzong could rely on was his younger brother King Cha Ge. Now that Cha Ge was captured, Xia Chongzong didn't know who could command the entire army.

This is a young man with a tiger back and a bear waist and said, "Emperor, the Song army is coming from afar, and the advantage is to fight quickly. Our army does not have to force ourselves, but just strengthen the walls and clear the fields and lure the Song army into the depths; our army first waits for labor, then sends light cavalry to copy the enemy's back, cut off the Song army's salary and transportation, so that the Song army will be trapped without fighting, and then the Song army retreats, and asks for help from the Great Liao, and at the same time sends envoys to the Song court for peace." Xia Chongzong really had this idea and said, "I said it very well, just follow it." Of course, Xixia sent two huge teams of missions to the Great Liao and the Great Song Dynasty respectively.

At this time, Wenshen and Liu Fa led an army of 20,000 slowly heading towards Liangzhou. After three days of march, the army arrived at the city of Liangzhou.

Liu Fa looked at Xia Jun on the city wall and spat, saying, "I finally saw a figure. Grandma, I haven't even seen the Western thief after walking for so many days." Wenshen looked at Liangzhou City and said, "Yes, this is to strengthen the walls and clear the fields for us, and I want to starve us to death." Liu Fa said fiercely, "When we enter the city, we must have a good meal. This horse meat is so fucking unpalatable, and we will never eat it again." Wenshen nodded in agreement when he remembered the rough horse meat.

An hour later, Liu Fa sat in the lobby of the prefectural state in Liangzhou City, drinking tea, and laughed at Wen Shen, "National Master, this is a war, why do I feel like playing house? At this progress, we can fight to Xingqing Mansion, the old nest of the Western thief," he laughed. Wen Shen laughed: "Yes, we need to speed up the marches. Most of the next trips are deserts, and the Western thief has implemented a strong wall and clear field, so we have to bring enough water and food in Liangzhou." Liu Fa smiled: "Now we have enough large war horses, and there is no problem with bringing dry food and water for more than ten days." Wen Shen smiled: "That's good, now you go and prepare, and we will head east tomorrow."

After Liu Fa left, Wen Shen came to the artillery company and asked the company commander Zhang Biao: "How many shells are there now?" Zhang Biao replied: "Commission, we still have 235, including 65 white phosphorus bombs and 170 high-explosive bombs." Wen Shen plotted in his heart and felt that it was enough. Then, Wen Shen checked the consumption of the bullets. There were more than 20 million bullets and more than one million bullets.

Wenshen felt that he should replenish the aircraft and ammunition. Thinking of this, Wenshen came to Yemen through the space, bought 100 heavy machine guns and five million rounds of bullets, and bought a few tons of diesel.

The next morning, the four battalion commanders looked at the sudden extra machine guns and ammunition, and looked surprised. Among them, the Dynasty asked, "Commission, why haven't I seen these machine guns before?" Wenshen said coldly: "Don't ask what shouldn't be asked, don't say what shouldn't be said." The four of them trembled and hurriedly replied: "Yes!" Seeing this, Wenshen smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. You arrange for people to carry all these ammunitions into the car."

After coming out of the military camp, Liu Fa hurried over and said, "National Master, we are going east today. What should we do with the more than 20,000 Xia people we captured?" Wen Shen said, "You think of a solution yourself, but I don't want them to cause trouble behind us again." Liu Fa raised his fierce light and clasped his fists and said, "I know what to do." After that, he led his personal soldiers to the prisoner-of-war camp.

Half an hour later, 20,000 troops and 60,000 war horses and more than 100 tractors marched towards Xingqing Prefecture, the old nest of Xixia. During this period, Liu Zhongwu conquered Dingyuan City, but the rebel general Li Eyi fled to Xixia with more than 10,000 soldiers. In order to expand the results of the battle, Tong Guan ordered Liu Zhongwu and the governor of Weizhou, Zhong Shidao, to lead a 100,000 army to attack Tibetan city and defeat the Xia army, but he also suffered nearly 20,000 casualties. After Tong Guan received the telegram from Daocheng, he was overjoyed and hurriedly sent a telegram to Song Huizong to report the victory.

After Song Huizong received the telegram from Taoist Tong Guan and Wenshen to break through the city of Zangdicheng and Liangzhou, he was filled with joy. At the same time, he issued an order to let the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Transportation Transportation and moved Tao Jiefu, the Yan'an Prefecture, lead a 100,000 army to attack the eastern front of Xixia.

After the strong walls and cleared the fields, Xixia had no other people in the city. Wenshen was happy to see this. He marched comfortably to Yingli County, Xixia, less than 300 miles away from Xingqing Prefecture. After receiving the news, Xia Chongzong was unable to sleep or eat, and wanted to send troops to wipe out the Song army, but there were no soldiers to call. Now the 300,000 Song army on the eastern and western fronts attacked the entire line, and Xixia occupied the city and defended the troops, so how could he dare to draw troops? As a last resort, Xia Chongzong ordered all males over 15 years old to join the army. For a time, Xingqing Prefecture and Lingzhou in the core areas of Xixia gathered 400,000 troops to defend. Among them, Xingqing Prefecture was full of troops, with more than 200,000 troops.

Wenshen and Liu Fa led their troops to march north from Yingli County for fifty miles, and encountered 10,000 Western Xia cavalry. However, the Xia army saw that Wenshen and Liu Fa had many people, so they retreated to Shunzhou after a little test.

Liu Fa looked at the Xia army who was leaving and said to Wen Shen: "National Master, should we chase after us?" Wen Shen smiled and said, "No, we have already penetrated the enemy territory and have not many troops. It is better not to disperse it." Liu Fa smiled and said, "National Master is very saying."

Wen Shen said again: "Liu Jingluo, how many horses are there?" Liu Fa said: "National Master, I have more than 500 horses distributed around us, and I can report to us the reconnaissance at any time." Wen Shen said: "Okay, I have more than 50 telescopes here. You can send someone to collect and distribute them to the horses. I think it should be helpful." Liu Fa said in surprise: "Thank you, the national master." Wen Shen looked up at the west and said: "The sun is about to set. Let's set up camp here today."

That night, the city of Shunzhou, Xixia was brightly lit, and a young man wearing armor was commanding the soldiers of Xixia to prepare for the rolling stones and falling wood and defending the city. At this time, there was a rumbling sound of horse hooves outside, and soon ten thousand elite cavalry of Xia army appeared in front of Shunzhou City from the night. When the soldiers guarding the city saw that they were their brothers, they hurriedly opened the city to greet them.

"See the commander!" The Xia army general who had just entered the city saw the young man and knelt down on one knee and said. The young man said, "Get up. How about it? The commander of the Song army is the commander of the commander of the attack on the Song army. How many people are there?" The Xia army general stood up and said, "There are about 20,000 people in the Song army, all of which are cavalry. The commander seems to be Liu Fa, now he is a hundred miles away. He will be at the city in less than two days."

The young man asked again, "Why haven't you gone around to the back of the Song army to cut off the food and grass?" The Xia army general replied, "The Song army does not have a special grain transport team, and the soldiers carry all the food and grass themselves." The young man was surprised and said, "What, carry it yourself?" The young man frowned and thought in his heart: "If you carry it yourself, the food and grass they bring can only last for about half a month. Is the Song army so confident that every time they go to a city, it can be enough to capture and get supplies." Thinking of this, the young man asked, "Have you tried to attack, how is the combat power of this Song army?"

The general of the Xia army recalled and said, "This Song army is divided into two parts, about 3,000, and the other part is about 20,000. Although the first part is only about 3,000, it is equipped with a very powerful firearm. It can kill people invisibly within three hundred steps, which is very powerful. The other part is no different from the Song army before."

The young man thought to himself, was the King of Jin defeated these firearms? It seems that you should pay great attention to these firearms and not be careful. The young man said, "How long do you think we can hold on to the city and guard the city?" The general of the Xia army said, "Since the Song army is very powerful, but the number is small. As long as we don't come out in the city, I think they have no good idea. It should be fine after persisting for a year or two."

What the General Xia Jun said was basically the same as what the young man thought. The young man nodded and said, "You go down and rest, I'm afraid there will be a bad battle to fight next."

...

After the great victory in Zangdicheng, Tong Guan and Liu Zhongwu led 80,000 infantry and cavalry and 70,000 civilians out of Lanzhou, Tao Jiefu led 100,000 infantry and 80,000 civilians out of Huanzhou, and Zhong Shidao led 30,000 infantry and 20,000 democratically out of Xi'an Prefecture. The three armies advanced together, and wanted to meet up with the army to rise, and destroy Xia in one fell swoop.

The Xixia defender loyally implemented Xia Chongzong's strategic plan, strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, gathered elite troops in Xingzhou, Lingzhou, and Xiazhou to guard important places, and sent 10,000 elite cavalry to wait for an opportunity to cut off the Song army's food route.

In the northwest land, the north is blowing war drums, and the ultimate decisive battle between Song Xia's millions of troops kicked off.
