Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 598 Another Year

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the troops of the Liangshan Army returned to various places.This time they captured the entire Guanzhong area, and captured and forced to surrender more than [-] people under Liu Fa, the Xuanfu envoy of Shanxi Province.

They also entered Xixia and looted for more than half a month. Lin Chong led tens of thousands of cavalry and [-] western troops from Tonghuanqing Road to attack from Xingping City along Baimachuan, breaking the Weizhou Supervisory Division of Xixia.Captured more than [-] Xixia people, more than half of them were Dangxiang people or Hengshan Qiang tribe.There were tens of thousands of cattle, horses and livestock, and tens of thousands of men were beheaded.

Even the newly recruited Huanqing Road West Army followed suit with a fortune and robbed the Xixia Weizhou Supervisor Army Division. This was the first reward Lu Qian gave them, and the source of it was the Xixia tribe they hated the most.

This time Lu Qian captured the entire Guanzhong, only speaking of Xixia, it was a big strategic victory.The entire Xixia elite area is within the strike range of the Liangshan Army.

Although the Liangshan army was lackluster in tactics, since its westward advance, except for breaking the 30 troops of Xixia, it has not even fought a decent field battle on the flat ground.Entering Xixia is basically an armed parade, purely relying on reputation to scare people.However, the benefits obtained in this battle were very rich. It basically wiped out the main force of the remaining Western Xia Army, and also defeated the Xixia Army. It can be said that the unification of the North will no longer be a problem in the coming year.And Xixia is no longer a threat to him!
This is of great benefit to the Liangshan Army's war against the South.Can Lu Qian be reassured and boldly launch an offensive against Nan?

Lu Qian left Lu Zhishen to sit in Chang'an. Does he have anything to do with Guanxi? Ren stayed behind, with Zhang Shen and Li Mida as assistants, Zhu Wu, Shi Jin, Wang Jin, Li Yanxian, Wang Qi, Wu Jie, Wu Lin and Yang Ke Shi, Yang Keshi, Wang Yuan and others all stayed in Guanzhong.And Wei Yanming, the latter is also a talented person who knows the current affairs!Now he serves as the Prime Minister of Chang'an.

Other people captured in this battle, such as Liu Fa, Li Hui, Dong Zhengfeng, Zhang Da and his son, Yao Qing and other generals, were all brought back to Yidu.Zeng Suo didn't see it, he didn't see anyone alive or dead, but maybe it was in a pothole.Lu Qian didn't care about this.Compared with the general trend of the whole world, the little Yi Zeng Suo is too insignificant.At the same time, he also added a wave of people to Zhenghuangqi, which suffered a lot after the first battle in Dijinze, most of them were captured Hengshan Qiang, and there were also a hundred Khitan people, most of them were sent by the Tianhu army from Poxiazhou. Those who came, together with a piece of Li Heda who was seriously injured.In this way, the strength of Zhenghuangqi's troops has not decreased but increased.

But even so, Xuan Zan was still complaining.

But the task he is taking on now is too deceitful.

After finishing the trip to Dijinze, Zhenghuang Banner entered Linzhou from Tumao River, thinking that he would be able to return to Qilu's "hometown" soon.In the end, without thinking, Lu Qian completely left them in Linzhou and Tumaochuan with one word.

Dijinze, which had just calmed down, became noisy again, becoming a battlefield for the two sides to confront each other.This is no longer a point that the Xixia people can ignore, and it is no longer a barrier for the Xixia people to the east.

For this reason, Li Qianshun deliberately transferred the headquarters of the Black Mountain Fuwei Army Division, which was guarding against the Liao people, to the south one after another.

Occupying a large number of people, the Xixia Army suppressed the Zhenghuang Banner from the very beginning and could not get out of Tumaochuan; the Xixia Army in Dijin Ze once had as many as 7000 people, and there were also some Han slaves, but now these are needed Supply what is needed from the rear.Because the winter snow in Dijinze has already fallen, and winter has come. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for a large number of livestock, cattle and sheep to survive the winter without feed reserves.The Xixia people could only withdraw their troops from Dijinze one after another.The remaining troops are not much more than Zhenghuangqi's. Doesn't this give Zhenghuangqi a chance to take revenge?
After that, both sides frequently sent out small groups of soldiers to fight. One side had a blood feud, while the other side had been suppressed by the Xixia people for a long time, and now it was finally time for revenge.

Although the troops dispatched from both sides were less, the fighting was even more brutal.The pressure on Xuan Zan's shoulders was enormous.

Not long ago, a waterfront numbered 59 by the Zhenghuang Banner in Dijinze was suddenly attacked. A group of Zhenghuang Banner knights sneaked into the Xixia Army's military camp in the middle of the night, quietly killed the sentry and then opened the gate, surrounded by dozens of riders. And enter.There was also a group of Xixia soldiers stationed inside. Although they wanted to open the gate of the village, they still held on to the inner wooden fence. The Zhenghuangqi Rangers had to fight hard and evacuated before dawn.Later, when the troops were counted, it was found that the Xixia soldiers had lost more than 20 soldiers, which was just a small number.However, hundreds of cattle and horses were also robbed, and dozens of carts of grain placed outside the village were burned.

The area of ​​Jinze is vast, and after the beginning of spring, there are many silt banks and rivers intercepting it, and the roads are very cumbersome with twists and turns.But in winter, the river and the silt are frozen solid, and the "danger" degree of the huge land plummets.Immediately, like a broken basket, it was ventilated everywhere.Teach people that they are hard to guard against!
It took five hundred miles from Chaoshun Army Division on the right side to Dijinze.There is no way, who told the Xixia people to lose Xiazhou?Liang Shan's army seized the opportunity to seize the Mingtangchuan line, Tian Hu's army occupied the Xiazhou area, and the entire middle and lower reaches of the Wuding River were wiped out.The area at the eastern end of Hengshan, which is closest to Dijinze, is no longer in the hands of the Xixia people.In order to deal with the Tianhu army in Xiazhou, the Xixia people are now gathering troops and horses in the Xiangyou Army Division in the west of Xiazhou, but they can only defend but are unable to counterattack, and they are also unable to support Di Jinze.To support Di Jinze, the only way is to start from the Chaoshun Military Division in the right wing, a hundred miles north of Xingqing Mansion. This is the shortest and safest route.

But even on this road, the transport team has encountered scattered attacks many times. Small groups of cavalry from the Zhenghuang Banner often appear in the western area of ​​​​Dijinze. The Xixia people's strength is neither enough to attack Linzhou nor to fully defend it. , not to mention that they are still deploying troops.

Yeli Jingting, the commander of the Black Mountain Fuwei Military Division who was stationed here, had no choice but to send more scouts east into the mountains to fight with the Zhenghuang Banner scouts in Linzhou.This is tantamount to taking the initiative to attack, and they have taken the initiative to lose their geographical advantage. In addition, their military equipment and personal combat literacy are quite inferior to those of the Yellow Banner soldiers, so that the casualties increased greatly.

Because of the long-distance transportation of grain and livestock, and it is not safe, the Dangxiang tribe belonging to the Chaoshun Army Division in the right wing is full of complaints. Although other tribes have to work hard in the Xiangyou Army Division, food is provided by the Xixia government anyway. The people of the tribes behind How many can survive.But they want to send troops to the south on the one hand, and then go east to subsidize the livestock and food on the other hand, and the loss and casualties will increase greatly, so naturally there will be opinions.

On the way, the transport team was escorted by the military camps along the way, and no one wanted to escort the whole journey.The soldiers and horses of the Fuwei Military Division in Heishan had already greatly reduced the garrisons in Dijinzeli because of the food and grass problem. Now because of the attack on the military stronghold, the garrisons in various places have to be increased, and the frontline troops have been thinned out again.

With such precautions, the situation of the transportation team became worse, and they were attacked again and again.The situation of large groups of soldiers and horses coming from the Zhenghuang Banner has become less and less. After all, it is freezing and their activities are restricted, but they can't kill people, but they can make people sick. A horse trap, or throwing some caltrops, or digging a big hole, inserting sharpened wooden sticks upside down...

This method seems to be light and handy, but it is actually harmful. The Xixia soldiers reluctantly widened the distance between each grain truck to [-] steps, so as to prevent a series of pits from hurting multiple trucks.Later, when the snow layer got thicker and thicker, Zhenghuangqi scouts gradually struggled to survive in the wild, so they stopped and gradually withdrew to Linzhou.It was also December at this time, no matter Dangxiang, Khitan, Jurchen, or Han people, everyone was going to celebrate the New Year.
