The turning point of the war
That day, when the gate of Lingzhou City was swarming up by the Song army, he almost rushed in! But at this moment, a fast horse rushed over from behind like crazy!
From behind, he was his own people. This fast horse took the order of the commander of the Western Expedition at all costs and as quickly as possible. Gao Zunyu, the foreign relative who had been invisible, finally appeared. He didn't know what kind of reconnaissance power he used, but could actually accurately grasp the every move of the Jingyuan Army. At this critical moment, he sent an order to decide the overall situation of the Western Expedition! He ordered the Jingyuan Army to stop attacking, and no matter where the war was going, stop immediately! The reason was that as the main general, he was negotiating with Xixia, and the Song army would win without fighting...
Liu Changzuo was instantly stiff and could not believe his ears. Anyone with a little bit of common sense in war knew that breaking the door was the only hard truth! In comparison, all kinds of hell negotiations were lying! If you take a step back, even if you really want to talk, holding Lingzhou City in your hand will increase the weight of negotiations. It is obvious that Gao Zunyu wanted to seize the merits, and he did not want Liu Changzuo to capture Lingzhou City!
But Liu Changzuo did not dare to violate the order. What the chief general was doing, the deputy had no power to ask. Regardless of whether there was any negotiation, he had to stop immediately... In this way, the previous hard battles were all invalidated, and Lingzhou City, which was prepared, was definitely an unprecedentedly solid fortress!
Liu Changzuo strictly implemented the order. The Jingyuan army retreated, and sent the Xixia people into the city gate, and then retreated far away. The god-given opportunity slipped away like this... The soldiers of the Jingyuan army walked back with a dejected head. They were so powerful when they came, they were loose when they walked, and they were stormy when they came, and they were slowly surging when they came back...
In addition to being depressed, everyone was asked a question. Gao Zunyu, Gao’s relative, according to your life experience, you shouldn’t have such a foolish move, and you wouldn’t have such a bad character?
Judging from Gao’s relative’s past record, he is definitely an evil and cunning character, making the enemy one of the top eight big characters!
In 1068, Gao Zunyu was a defensive envoy in Yulin, northwest. From this point of view, it can be seen that this foreign relative was very hard-working. Not to mention the Song Dynasty, Yulin is now an underdeveloped county town, which is both difficult and dangerous. Especially this year, when the danger came, I realized that it was really big! Xixia sent 100,000 troops, including 000 Iron Harrier heavy cavalry, and Gao Zunyu had 10,000 troops on his hands, so it was obviously not good to fight hard. At this critical moment, he looked around and saw a river and Shimen River. He looked up at the sky again. It was midsummer at that time, and he was sweating all over. Very good! Adding these two conditions, the tall foreign relative's mind became habitually evil, and a conspiracy floated up...
He first hung up the battle-free sign, held the opponent for more than ten days, and then sent someone to agree on the date: Tianhou, the Shimen River, and the life and death will be fought. The people of Xixia were very excited and finally had a war. The people of Song Dynasty finally did not deserve to be shrunk turtles. But they were happy earlier. On the day of the decisive battle, Gao Zunyu once again showed up, and the people of Xixia were waiting for the poisonous sun for a whole morning before showing up. The people of Xixia were almost out of oil at that time, and they could not help themselves at noon. They all went to the river to drink horses and drink water. The cool and profound river water made the river water.
They enjoyed it very much, and each horse drank enough. Gao Zunyu appeared on the battlefield at this time. The next thing was this: the Xixia people trembled their bodies and shook them apart the water droplets. The bronze skin was very sexy under the scorching sun. They raised their swords and slashed over. They were so heroic. But the next moment, they suddenly felt dizzy, nauseous and vomiting, and some even had diarrhea... How could they fight this battle? They reacted so quickly that they pulled the horse over and wanted to escape, but they found that the horse was even more embarrassed than the human, as soft as a ball of rotten persimmons!
That's right! They were all poisoned. Gao Zunyu asked them to sunbathe for a whole morning, and the effect was almost right. He sent people to the upper reaches of Shimen River to poison it. The time was about to happen, so he led people to kill him. Under this conspiracy, there was no suspense at all. The Xixia people died more than 10,000 and were captured more than 40,000 prisoners that day, and they ran back less than 40,000 horses and supplies were thrown everywhere. Especially the 000 iron kites and knives were captured alive without seeing blood...
After this battle, Gao Zunyu became a bastard in the eyes of both the enemy and us. Can the battle be fought like this? Opportunity, you are so inhumane~
Therefore, the unprincipled fighting style of the tall foreign relatives once again played its role in the five-way summer season.
He led the Huanqing army out of the border and suddenly changed direction. He was originally scheduled to join forces with Liu Changzuo near Huluchuan, so he flashed to the side. In Weizhou, the Qingyuan army entered the Hanhai Desert. This move was not only unexpected by the Xixia people, but even the friendly troops of the Song Dynasty did not expect it. As a result, the fight outside the desert was a mess. He walked leisurely with a large group of troops for more than ten days, and suddenly appeared in an important area! The time was just right, all the troubles on the way were avoided, and all the important plots were not staged. What, it has been staged? No! Immediately scored this replay!
So Liu Changzuo's Jingyuan army was blocked by his own people at the city of Lingzhou. He watched the Xixia people hide back into the city and everything returned to its original state... That day, the Jingyuan army was filled with fire and walked back. It was dark and was about to rest, but suddenly he received another quick order!
This time the fast horse was even more deadly than last time. It was obvious that General Gao was really anxious. The order was - I was attacked by 0 miles, come and save me immediately!
The Jingyuan Army was so angry that they sat on the ground, and the whole army was depressed. Gao Dawei, aren’t you talking to the Xixia people about surrendering? Why were you suddenly attacked? The entire army agreed not to pay attention to Gao Zunyu and asked him to continue talking. Maybe a miracle could be achieved, and the Xixia people automatically stopped attacking? But the model soldier Liu Changzuo was too kind-hearted. Without thinking, he personally led one of the few cavalrymen to support overnight!
The cavalry of the Jingyuan Army who had been rushing wildly and desperately robbing the city went on the road again. After running 0 miles, they finally saw the Huanqing Army. They saw a mess. There was indeed a battle, but the Xixia people disappeared and they had already run away!
Liu Changzuo dismounted to ask for a meeting. He attracted all the enemies along the way and fought alone. He was hacked in front of Lingzhou City, and then went to help late at night. How could Liu Changzuo be a rare good comrade? Should you be smiling all over your face and greet the tent yourself?
No, it is human nature to do this. And the so-called great relatives are not ordinary people, especially tall noble relatives who have done so many extraordinary things!
Gao Zunyu asked Liu Changzuo to stand outside the tent for a long time before letting him in. The first sentence was not a greeting, but a question: Why did you come so late? You arrived only after all the people in Xixia ran away. Do you know that you missed the opportunity to fight?
Liu Changzuo was dizzy, but he was so kind. Not only did he not get angry, he also decided to carry out kindness to the end. History will prove that kindness is sometimes the most undesirable! At this time, Liu Changzuo apologized and expressed his sincerity with his actions. He said: He has made a calculation about how to fight Lingzhou City. Lingzhou leaned against the Yellow River, and the Xixia reinforcements were very fast in support, whether from water or dry roads. We should first control the Yellow River near the ferry, siege the city of Lingzhou, and isolated Lingzhou City! In this way, a large number of Western Xia troops were killed and destroyed without attacking Lingzhou!
To be honest, this method is a correct solution. If Zhao Guangyi was like this when he attacked Youzhou, he would not have been attacked from both sides. But Liu Changzuo could not have thought that the next reaction of the tall foreign relative was actually - furious!
If you are a general, can you make a decision on the main attack? Tomorrow, I just need to lead the team to the city of Lingzhou, and each person will bring a bunch of soil there, and you will be able to climb the city wall immediately! Is it necessary to encircle the city for a long time and to fight for any aid?
As soon as this statement was made, the tent was quiet. This method was successful four or five years ago, and it was like this when the Jiaozhi people attacked Yongzhou. Can it be successful this time? It is hard to say that without verification. However, since the general decided like this, everyone had to obey the order. Liu Changzuo thought about it and decided to take a break. But before leaving the tent, he was called back again!
Gao Zunyu looked impatient, Liu Changzuo, you are too stupid, you don’t obey the commander of the army, and you are not worthy of being the commander of the first army. Now that you have been removed from office, your deputy, Yao Lin, will take over you!
The friendship between soldiers is condensed from blood and life! It will not be abandoned for promotion or profit like your tall relative. Yao Lin, the first generation of the Yao family army, refused sternly! After a big quarrel, things came to an end. Liu Changzuo was still the chief general of the Jingyuan army, but the Jingyuan army withdrew from the battle for Lingzhou. They stayed away from Lingzhou City and defended on the outside...
Liu Changzuo walked out of the tent and felt very sad. He was not sad and angry for the sake of encounters. He found that he was really stupid! He knew that the other party was afraid that he would steal the title, so he ordered the stop to attack at a critical moment. What strategy would he offer at this time? In his opinion, this was his duty, but in Gao Zunyu's eyes, he continued to fight and continued to fight, which was obviously dissatisfied...
It should be said that the head coach of Hedong Road, the eunuch Wang Zhongzheng, is also a eunuch. Li Xian is also a straightforward move, and he cannot be regarded as a sharp man. But you have no news, which is really anxious. I can't help but ask: Where have you died?
Wang Zhongzheng was not dead, and he had been running away very tenaciously... To be honest, he was the happiest of the five armies. The first point of departure was unique. Linzhou was on Hedong Road, which was a world apart from other armies. It had strong military strength. The strongest Zhe Family Army, the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, was in his jurisdiction!
Before departure, Zhuang Gongyue, the transferee of the grain transport commander, came here to ask for instructions: How many days do you need for grain? Wang Zhongzheng thought about it seriously and said: It will take half a month... Zhuang Gongyue was silent at that time. You mean that it only takes half a month to destroy such a major task as Xixia Kingdom? I had such a question mark in my mind, but Zhuang Gongyue didn't say much. He is a mature civil servant. I will give you as much as you want, but you need to sign this order in person... Wang Zhongzheng also really wrote it, and then ordered his troops to set off!
After leaving the country, the eunuch fully demonstrated the "carefulness" of a military worker. His caution was beyond the reach of the commanders of the other four routes, and he could not catch up with the horses and could never dream of it. If he did not allow soldiers to make fire and cook, no animals were allowed to whistle, and the entire army would not make any noise! In order to avoid exposing the whereabouts of the army and attracting enemies!
But he was on the outermost line, and Zhong Yan cut down all the enemy troops on the road ahead in advance. It was already flat and there was no danger. Why are you, a dead eunuch?
I was not interested in using precious words to scold this eunuch, and I directly talked about the entire process of the Hedong Army's dispatch. I set off on September, and in this way, I did not encounter any enemy troops along the way. I was cold and hungry and tortured nearly 10,000 Hedong Army to death. On November 4, the Hedong Army retreated to Yanzhou in Song territory for rest. The total number of infantry and cavalry was 60,000 civilians, 60,000 horses, and 000 donkeys. Another 50,000 civilians were as reserved powerful troops, sent troops for more than 40 days, and only conducted an outdoor hike, ending the mission...
On the 5th, except for the Hedong Army, the other four troops surrounded the city of Lingzhou. At this time, Empress Dowager Liang was anxious and asked everyone what to do. All the generals said they would fight to the death. Only one veteran general offered a suggestion to "strengthen the walls and clear the fields, let them go deeper. Gather the elite troops in Lingzhou and send light cavalry to cut off the food route of the Song army. As the energy is frozen today, the Song army has no food, so they can be trapped without fighting."
On the 6th, Zhong Yan defeated Xixia in Heishui. On the 7th, Li Xian defeated Xixia in Luobichuan. On the 6th, Gaoda's relatives finally launched the battle of Lingzhou City with his own Huanqing army! It is necessary to say that Lingzhou City was defended. Lingzhou was only a famous city outside the border when the Song Dynasty was named, and it was just a war-ready significance. From the fact that Song Zhenzong could throw it away casually, it could be seen that its status was different. It was different from the hands of the Dangxiang people. At this time, Lingzhou City was Xiping Prefecture, the capital of Xixia Kingdom.
The city is tall and the Yellow River is used as the moat. The walls that are dozens of miles long are covered with felt blankets soaked in water. All kinds of city defense equipment are available! To be fair, this defense system is not as good as the capital of the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng and the important city of Taiyuan, and other famous cities in the Central Plains are really not as good as it. At this time, Gao Zunyu held Huanqing in his hand, and the main force of the Jingyuan army actually sacked his martial arts in advance. He put aside half of the troops and attacked alone. This confidence really makes people say nothing about it...
The siege began! The entire Huanqing army was dispatched, and all kinds of ways were put into battle. Pile soil, climb the city, set fire, dig holes, etc. were all out of the cage. They were busy all morning, making Lingzhou City like a vegetable market. While they were struggling, they suddenly felt that something was wrong behind them, and the voice was even louder than here?
Looking back, the Jingyuan army watching behind was busier than them. The boundless Xixia army rushed from the Yellow River Dongguan Ferry and rushed over like an ant! The facts proved that Liu Changzuo guessed it. Regardless of whether the Song army wanted to siege the city or not, the enemy reinforcements arrived in a blink of an eye!
Chapter completed!
