Chapter 730 Invincible Invincible Captain Gao

"Hahaha……"

Just as he was laughing, he was leaning back and forth, the prince-in-law of the Dabai Gao Kingdom, and the commander of the brave army in the left wing was moved to the mahjong.

What made him laugh was a crooked, shallow and narrow trench. This should be a long trench that besieged the city, and after the trench, a low chest wall was built with a sack filled with soil.

But the wall was so short and the ditch was so shallow that it could jump over with a horse. How could it be that it could be surrounded by Dangxiang Erlang in the city? The soldiers of the Song people were really stupid, obviously doing stupid things.

"It seems that Gao Qiu, the famous general of Song Gou, is just like this," Wu Yiboma smiled and said to the left and right, "What's the use of such a trench chest wall? It's just a waste of manpower."

"Father," the voice of Wuyiboma's son Li Zhongliang (he was given the surname Li) sounded, "Give his son 3,000 troops and horses to fill Song Gou's trench."

Wu Yi Boma retracted his gaze, looked at his son, and said lightly: "The trench of the Song people is a joke, but the armored soldiers and the armored horses guarding behind the trench are all real!"

The trench is "fake", but behind the trench are real armored soldiers and armored cavalry, which are used to cover the construction of the government soldiers and engineers. Among them, the armored soldiers are all dragon heroes. Everyone holds bows and arrows, stretches their necks to look at the city of Tongwan City, as if they are looking forward to the Dangxiang people guarding the city send their heads to let them cut them...

Behind the soldiers was Gao Qiu's black armored cavalry. The cavalry all got off their war horses, holding a rifle in one hand and holding a reins in the other, and stretched their necks to look at the party on the city wall. Their heads... can be changed to the identity of a knight and 1,500 acres of land, and it is also the land in the rich Central Plains!

Unfortunately, the Dangxiang people in Tongwan City all attach great importance to their own heads and do not let anyone cut them off easily.

"Let's go!" Wu Yiboma smiled and said to his son, "Go back and drink! Let Song Gou dig a trenches!

Even if the ditch is dug deep and wide, it will not hurt half of our hair."

"Hahaha……"

The generals of the left-wing Divine Army Division all laughed like the situation, and some people agreed.

"Yes, it's a siege. But the reserves in our Tongwan City are enough for tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to eat for a year!"

"And we are not afraid of water cut off. The city has already built a water cellar and is full of clean water, which is enough for us to drink for six months!"

"They can't capture the city either... We have cut down all the trees around us long ago, and we didn't even leave a sapling as thick as chopsticks. If they want to build siege equipment, they have to go to Yinzhou to cut down trees."

"Hahaha……"

Li Zhongliang frowned and reminded: "Master-in-chief, Song Gou can still attack the city with a hole."

Wu Yiboma looked at his son with admiration and nodded, "Okay! It's not easy to think of this. However, His Highness King Jin had already expected that Song Gou would dig tunnels, so he had already buried many large water tanks on the base of the walls in the city to listen to the movements underground. Wherever Song Gou digs a hole, we can dig a trench in the corresponding direction in the city."

Crying out the city is not a new tactic, but a very ancient method of siege. It is also easy to be prepared. Just bury the tank and listen to the ground, determine the direction the enemy is digging, and then dig a trench parallel to the city wall.

In this way, when the enemy digs through the tunnel, he will encounter a trench in the city. When the enemy comes out of the tunnel, he will enter the trench and be attacked by condescending spearmen. One shot is one, but basically no run away.

However, the excavation project led by the commander of Wu Haogu's engineer Huang Silang and Zhu Xingshu did not need to dig through the city wall. They only needed to dig the hole under the city wall of Tongwan City, and then buried thousands of kilograms of temporarily stirred explosives to demolish the 700-year-old ancient city wall.

The breakthrough was chosen under the east wall of Tongwancheng East City. In order to ensure the successful blasting, two tunnels started construction at the same time. Four hundred engineers (mainly miners) and thousands of government soldiers were divided into four squads, digging the tunnels day and night.

The excavation of four authentic tunnels together was very loud. After a few days of digging, they were discovered by the Dangxiang people in Tongwan City.

"It's true that it's digging a hole!"

Wu Yiboma laughed and said to his son who came to report, "Son, take people to dig the trench immediately, dig along the east wall of the East City, and you must dig deeper! You can't let them dig under our trench."

"I understand!"

Wu Yiboma said again: "After digging, select another 1,000 warriors, hold spear staff, and divide them into two shifts to wait day and night. As long as the Song dogs show their heads, they will be defeated immediately!"

Li Zhongliang took his father's general order and immediately went to dig a trench. However, when his trench was dug, the excavation project of the Song people suddenly stopped. For several days, the soldiers who listened to the jar did not notice any excavation. Two days later, the soldiers who listened to the jar reported that the sound of the Song army digging tunnels were discovered...

It turns out that Tongwancheng has two cities, east and west, and there is a city wall between the two cities. If only one city wall is blown up, it is not enough to contribute Tongwancheng at the same time.

So Brother Zhao Zhong and Huang Silang, who formulated the siege plan, decided to explode the east wall of Tongwan East City and the south wall of the west city at the same time.

This will allow you to capture two cities in one fell swoop!

...

Just when Wu Haogu was about to use gunpowder to demolish Wancheng, the two armies of Wang En and Guo Cheng had already captured three Xixia fortresses, Shilijing, Niu Xinting and Longzhou. They once again divided their troops into two groups, one by Wang En personally led to attack Youzhou; the other by Guo Cheng led to attack Hongzhou.

The news of the Song army's division of troops was soon reported by the Western Xia Rangers to a water source called Wanjingkou 60 miles west of Tongwan City.

This place is located on the edge of the Gobi Desert in the sea, and there are some wells with abundant water. Caravans or troops who want to enter the desert usually replenish their drinking water here. Xixia regards this place as a key point, builds a castle, protects the water source, and also stockpiles a lot of food here.

After the last operation of crossing Hengshan invading Yan'an Prefecture failed, Wei Mingcha Ge placed his 40,000 army on the edge of the desert west of Wanjingkou. By late January this year, another 32,000 army was ordered to drive from Xingqing Prefecture and stationed west of Wanjingkou.

He himself also entered Wanjingkou City not long ago and regarded this place as his command center.

When the news of the Song army's division of troops came, he was watching the military newspaper sent by the right wing army in his hall. He was the commander-in-chief of the Dabai Gao Kingdom, and the army of more than a dozen military departments on both sides of the left and right were under his control.

At present, his attention cannot be focused on the Wudinghe battlefield, and he must leave one eye to look at the Hexi battlefield. If Qin Wang Chuancheng is not protected, he must immediately give up on the Wudinghe battlefield to reinforce Hexi.

According to his calculations, the elite main forces that could be used in Xixia include 15,000 garrisons, 3,000 Iron Harrisons and 54,000 gulf soldiers, a total of 72,000 troops, and must take into account both the east and west lines.

So after defeating the Song army at the city of Dun Bingxia and Youzhou, Wei Mingcha Ge had to take the remaining army to rush to Qin Wangchuan and fight to the decisive battle with the Song army's Hexi army!

If both battles can be won, then the national destiny of Xixia will be reversed.

"King, the enemy is divided into three places," Xiao Heda, who is increasingly trusted by Cha Ge, walked into Cha Ge's festival when he heard the news. "Our plan will be done!"

"Heda," Cha Ge stood up and walked to the wooden picture on a table. He looked at the three little wooden men in Tongwan, Youzhou and Hongzhou respectively, and asked, "Which enemy soldier should we eat?"

"Of course it is the Song army that governs Wancheng!" Xiao Heda said, "The Song army that governs Wan is mostly the three leading soldiers of the front line of Lao Shizi, and is the powerful soldiers of the Song people. If they can be destroyed, the situation of the war will be completely reversed.

Moreover, the city of Tongwan has stored 300,000 stones of grain, 500,000 stones of forage, and a large number of weapons, which are the foundation of ours in the Wuding River area! If there is a case, even if we destroy the other two Song troops, we will not be able to gain a foothold in the Wuding River."

Xiao Heda said this, in fact, half of it was for the benefit of the Liao Kingdom. He had realized that the three straight lines in the Song army were not only the top three armies in the Song Dynasty, but also meant the revival of the Song Dynasty’s Eastern Army!

Although he didn't know what method Gao Qiu used to make the originally depressed Kaifeng Imperial Army like a wolf or a tiger, he could still smell the extremely dangerous temperature.

No matter how strong the Western Army of the Song Dynasty was, the threat to the Great Liao was limited. Because half of the combat effectiveness of the Western Army was on the archers of the Fanhan Han, and the archers of the Fanhan Han were united with soldiers and farmers, and it was impossible to expedition to Yanyun. They were going to Yanyun, how to plant 200 acres of 250 acres of land at home?

So the Western Army that left Shaanxi had only half of its strength at most. And it was impossible to transfer all the Northwest Imperial Guards away, right? Therefore, in fact, half of the strength could not be used, and one-third of the strength was the sky.

The three emperors in the front line must be the "Long Army". They have been on the northwest battlefield for almost a year, so why are they still alive?

If this army grows up and has a force of 100,000 to 80,000, then the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will be in lingering.

So Xiao Heda wanted to use the 72,000 army of Xixia to fight the three imperial fronts of the Song army.

"It's right!" Brother Cha thought for a while and nodded, "But the Song people's three-pointed emperor are very strong..."

Xiao Heda said: "It is precisely because they are strong that they cannot miss the current opportunity!

If they were allowed to develop for a few more years, the number of troops in the top three will increase to 100,000! Can our Dabai Gaoguo still survive?"

"Hundred thousand?" Brother Cha took a breath, "Will there be so many?"

"Now the Song Dynasty has been out of the Khan!"

"Tian Khan..." Wei Mingcha Ge gritted his teeth, "That's right, I can't let them grow stronger anymore.

Heda, go and pass on the orders of the king and generals, gather troops and head straight to the ten thousand cities!"
