Chapter 674 The enemy is in Kaifeng Mansion II
This time, Zhong Fu was really hated because he not only wanted to trouble the house slaves, but also wanted to steal the great achievements of Zhang Shuye, Gao Yongnian and Tong Guan.
Just as Zhong Fu, Wang Hou, Zhong Shiji, Wu Haowen and others rushed to Gugu Long City, Zhang Shuye, Gao Yongnian, Tong Guan, and Renduo Baozhong, who had just become kings because of the defeat, was discussing how to win Zhuoluo City and Qin Wangchuan to become the king by defeating the battle. Renduo Baozhong still wanted to make some great contributions for his new master.
If you want to help the new master make contributions, of course you have to betray the old master. There is nothing you can do about it!
Renduo Baozhong's conscience was of course painful, but Tong Guan and Zhang Shuye were not vague. Not only did they let the captured soldiers of Renduo's family go away, but they also took out tsampa to Renduo's army, who were almost out of food, and asked Renduo'anzhong to lead them to suppress Renduoquan City. At the same time, they also sent military envoys to escort the 2,000 cavalry led by Renduo's family to take over the defense of Qingtang City!
This is really showing the greatest sincerity!
In addition to sincerity, the armored infantry of the Song army also completely defeated Renduo Baozhong. After a day and night of bloody battle, he used crazy skills to defeat the 5,000 infantry commanded by Renduo Anzhong, and defeated countless cavalrymen from Renduoduo's family. The number of people tested after the war, not including the captured ones, only less than 13,500 of Renduo Baozhong's 20,000 army remained.
In other words, the bloody battles of one day and one night, coupled with the sporadic battles before, caused the Renduo family to lose more than 6,500 people. On the surface, Renduo's army seemed to have lost more than 30% of it. But the actual losses were even more amazing, because Renduo Baozhong's 20,000 troops included "main soldiers" and "debtor soldiers".
According to the military system of the Western Xia, a regular army should be assigned to three soldiers. However, only the elite troops of the Ling can be assigned to this standard. The ratio of the regular army and the soldiers of the Right-wing Army is usually only 1:1.
Therefore, among the 20,000 troops led by Rendo Baozhong, there were only 10,000 troops. In the fierce battle of one day and one night, almost all the more than 3,800 people killed were all!
After this battle, there will probably be countless orphans and widows in Renduoquan City.
If Zhang Shuye had not forced Gao Qiu to Mingjin to withdraw his troops, the crazy Knights and Dragon Emperors of the Palace will kill more soldiers from the Renduo family, and sooner or later they will eliminate all the 20,000 troops of Renduo Baozhong!
Although Rendo Baozhong made many mistakes in this battle of Haoya River, after he suffered so many years of defeat, can he make fewer mistakes? But he has never suffered such a big loss.
Therefore, Renduo Baozhong, who had been in the battle for a long time, knew very well that the main reason for the defeat in the Haoya River Battle was that the Song army had a strong soldier that he had never had before. At least in Renduo Baozhong's life, he had never seen such an elite Song army.
Coupled with the legend of "Tian Khan Zhao Ji", Renduo Baozhong is now convinced and completely disappointed with the future of the Great Kingdom of Dabai.
With the Tian Khan of the Song Dynasty, the Dabai Gao Kingdom was over... As a loyal minister of the Dabai Gao Kingdom, Renduo Baozhong should naturally die at this time. But he was also the patriarch of the Renduo clan! For the sake of his clan, young and old, how could he refuse to be king in Qinghai?
...
"Daguan Tong, Taiwei Gao, Taishou Zhang," Renduo Baozhong bowed to the three of them, "Now the person who is in Zhuoluo City is Dabai... is the pseudo-King of Jin of the Western thief, and the commander-in-chief Weiming Chage. Although this thief is young, he has great means and is deeply trusted by the Western thief chief Shouwei Ming Ganshun, holding the Shangfang Order Hammer.
He also came with 1,000 Iron Harriers and 3,000 soldiers. Later, 2,000 garrison troops and 5,000 soldiers were transferred.
Moreover, Brother Cha had some tricks and had served as deputy envoys in the right wing army. Many soldiers and generals were won over by him and might not obey the orders."
Unlike the Kaifeng soldiers in the past of the Song Dynasty, the elite troops of the Western Xia were concentrated in Xing and Lingzhou, with 25,000 garrison troops, 3,000 Iron Harrison troops and 5,000 Proton troops. A total of 33,000 people (only the main army), are all the troops with the strongest combat effectiveness and the best equipment in Xixia.
In addition, the Western Xia army also had military names such as "Catching Sheng", "Pu Xi", "Shan E" (Bu Bazi), and "Crashing Linglang". However, these troops were scattered under the various military divisions, and were actually local garrisons in Xixia. The combat effectiveness was not comparable to that of the garrison, and the Iron Harrison and the Proton Army.
"1000 Iron Harriers and 2000 garrison troops can be handed over to the front army for dealing with it." Tong Guan said with a smile, "How is our 5000 garrison troops? The leader Ren has also seen it!"
In fact, Gao Qiu and Wang Bing's army are no longer as many as 5,000. After the Battle of Haoya River, the total number of the Knights and Dragon Kings who can still fight are less than 4,000.
However, the Knights and Dragon Kings who have experienced great wars have grown from recruits (not all recruits) to veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. If they can fully mobilize their enthusiasm, they can still defeat the 1,000 Iron Harriers and 2,000 garrison troops led by Weiming Chage.
Renduo Baozhong also agreed with Tong Guan's opinion, nodded, and said, "With the army in front of the palace, Brother Cha really can't win. Then let's offer a plan!
The three can use the method of attacking Qin Wangchuan to mobilize Chage's main force, and then use elite troops to attack Renshou Mountain City north of Gaizhu City and Zhuoluo City and beside Karochuan."
"Renshou Mountain City?"
“Where is it?”
"What's important?"
Tong Guan, Gao Yongnian and Zhang Shuye had never heard of the place name Renshou Mountain City, and they didn't know what was important there.
Renduobaozhong paused and said word by word: "Renshou Mountain City is the place where the grain is stored in the Right Army Division!"
"A place to store grain?"
Gao Yongnian and Zhang Shuye were both excited.
When fighting in the northwest, logistics is extremely difficult. If we can fight against the enemy due to food, then the battle between Zhuoluo City and Qin Wangchuan will be sure to win!
Renduo Baozhong nodded and said, "Renshou Mountain City is a mountain city built in the depths of Karo River after taking charge of the Right Xiang Army. Millions of stones of yellow rice, barley and horse materials were stored in the city, and countless hays were stored."
"Millions of stones?"
"So many!"
"Will it be possible to provide 200,000 troops with food for a year?"
Millions of stones of rice and grain are nothing to Jiehe Market. It is shipping from Liaodong and from Haizhou. As long as you have money, not to mention one million stones, even ten million stones are not impossible.
However, it is not easy to accumulate 100,000 stones here in Lanzhou! Less than 10% of the 2,000 miles of less than 10% of the supply line made the supply line from Baibo to Lanzhou extremely expensive. Therefore, it can only be raised from the foreign tribes on Xihe Road, but these foreign tribes have not had a large population and the occupied land is relatively barren. How much can they supply?
Therefore, the supply of food has always been a major bottleneck in the battle of Xihe Road. Due to insufficient military rations, the Song army was unable to throw large troops into the north of the Yellow River to fight a protracted war.
Without sufficient troops, the Xihe Army certainly could not defeat the Xixia's Right-Entertainment Army, seize the entrance of the Hexi Corridor, and turn Xixia into two.
Renduo Baozhong nodded and said, "The Western thieves have two places to store grain in the defense area of the Youxiang Army, one is Renshou Mountain City; the other is Qin Wangchuan.
The water and soil of Qin Wangchuan are still fertile in Hexi, so they have always been the place where Western thieves have farmed. Most of the yellow rice harvested in Qin Wangchuan is stored in the same place. Over the years, there are also reserves of 200,000 to 300,000 stones. If thousands of elite troops can sneak through the jurisdiction of Shuibocheng, they can attack the Qin Wangchuan granary. If they occupy the granary, they can defend themselves for a long time and threaten the transportation between Hexi and Xingling.
So for Brother Cha, Qin Wangchuan cannot be lost!”
Renduo Baozhong's plan has been clearly revealed. First, he used thousands of elite soldiers, that group of slaves in front of the hall, to attack the Qin Wangchuan granary and occupy it.
Due to the geographical location of Qin Wangchuan, Weiming Chage must have led the elite troops to counterattack. However, Chage is not a mindless commander. While he left Karochuan, Gaizhu City located in the middle and lower reaches of Karochuan, Zhuoluo City must be guarding the death. However, Renduo Baozhong also arranged a second surprise attack, attacking Renshou Mountain City deep in Karochuan, and seizing the large granary of the Xixia Right Xiang Army in one fell swoop.
Once the granary of Renshou Mountain City and Qin Wangchuan lost, the right-wing army commanded by Cha Ge would be hungry. Without the support of these two granaries, Xingqing Prefecture would not be able to send a large army to the Qin Wangchuan-Zhuoluo City area to fight a protracted war.
In this way, sooner or later, Cha Ge will retreat with the Right Xiang Army, and the areas of Karochuan and Qin Wangchuan will fall into the hands of the Song army.
Then the Hexi Corridor will not take long to be cut off by the Song army!
"If you steal Shuibo City? How can you attack Renshou Mountain City in surprise?"
Tong Guan then asked the most critical questions.
"There are some confidants in the defenders of Shuibo City. As long as the imperial army takes action quickly enough, it is not a problem to steal before Cha Ge cleans up Shuibo's defenders."
Renduo Baozhong was in power for many years in the Right Xiang Army, and he still had some confidants, and now he still had the future of the King of Qing Tang. He said: "As for Renshou Mountain City... I personally led the way, took the small path in the Karo River, and then walked into the city by the secret passage."
Renshou Mountain City was built by Rendo Baozhong. During the construction, it was considered that it might be the last large stronghold of the Right Xiang Army in Karochuan and was besieged by the Song army, so a secret passage was built for counterattack.
"Okay!" Tong Guan slapped his hands and laughed, "It's a clever plan! Ren Duo Da's leader, if he wins this battle, we will recommend that the leader lead all Qinghai areas west of Zong Ge City!"
Rendo Baozhong said: "If this plan is to be successful, you must advance as quickly as possible. If Brother Cha is prepared, it will be difficult to steal Shuibocheng."
Tong Guan held his precious beard and nodded with a smile: "Another day of rest, the army will head to Tongchuan Fort tomorrow. At most, the army in front of the palace will be able to steal Shuibo City."
