Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Zhao Ning did not continue to ask.

If you ask about this kind of thing in depth, you must have a private conversation, otherwise it is inconvenient for the other party to talk nonsense.

At this time, Wang Huaiji's voice suddenly came from the door: Officials, there is someone outside who claims to be Liu Ziyu, who joined the army of the Shaanxi Manufacturing Division, and said that if he wants to see him. "

Zhang Jun nodded, indicating that there was indeed such a person.

"Xuan."

Liu Ziyu walked in quickly and said, "I see Your Majesty."

I have heard of Liu Ziyu and Zhao Ning. He is the son of Liu Kai, the magistrate of Daming Prefecture.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang, there is urgent information from the front line."

"Oh, bring it here."

When Liu Ziyu submitted it, Zhao Ning read it immediately and said with a smile, "Okay!"

"Officer, what happened?"

"The envoy from Xixia is on his way to Chang'an, and it's actually Li Renzhong."

"Li Qianshun wants to negotiate with us." Fan Zhixu said, "If Li Qianshun puts forward some conditions for paying tribute, what should we do?"

"There are no conditions, and there are no other variables. I only have one purpose, which is to destroy the Xia. No matter what the Xixia people say, this will not change." Zhao Ning said, "Since the Xixia envoy is coming, it means that Li Qianshun You don't know that I have come to Chang'an, let alone our real purpose."

He looked at Zhang Jun again and asked, "How many troops does Liu Kai have?"

"Liu Kai has [-] troops in his hands."

"If Liu Kai can attack Xiazhou, will the Youzhou Xixia Army come out to support Xiazhou?" Zhao Guanjia asked.

"It will."

Zhao Guanjia asked again: "Where is the guard at this time?"

"The Divine Guard has been ordered to send troops from Linzhou since mid-August, and may have arrived in Anqingze." Zhang Jun said.

"The Divine Guard is too far away from us, and it's understandable that we can't control the intelligence. The right to deploy troops has been handed over to Liu Kai?"

"It has been handed over to Liu Kai." Zhang Jun said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, Liu Kai has always been calm in his work, and he is also extremely sincere."

This is true. Liu Kai is a member of the entire military circle of the Great Song Dynasty, and also at the turn of the history of the two Song Dynasties. He is known as an honest man with a straightforward personality and a strong sense of responsibility.

"Then don't interfere with the whereabouts of the guards, and directly send an order to Liu Kai to send troops to attack Xiazhou. Xiazhou must be taken before September [-]!"

"Is it too early to fight Xiazhou now?"

"It's not too early, soon Li Qianshun will know that I have come to Shaanxi, and he will definitely guess that a big battle is coming. At that time, the battle situation in Hengshan has changed drastically, and he can only be forced to send his troops south."

Zhao Guanjia looked at the big map and said quickly: "Before Li Qianshun's army goes south, we must let the main force of Youzhou enter Xiazhou to confront Liu Qi, so that Longzhou and Hongzhou will lose Youzhou's assistance for a short time. , This short gap is an excellent opportunity for us to tear through the Hengshan West Line!"

Fan Zhixu immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please let the old minister go, the old minister will definitely take Hongzhou!"

"Don't worry, the battlefield is ever-changing. After making a move, it's time to watch the game!"

On the fifth day of September, the emergency military order from Jingzhao Mansion to Yinzhou came to Liu Qi.

After reading it, Liu Kai said, "Jingzhao Mansion let us fight Xiazhou!"

"Hit now?" Li Yanqi asked.

"Hit now!"

"Now Xixia has mobilized reinforcements to Xiazhou. They didn't fight a few days ago, so why fight now?"

"The fight a few days ago is no different from the fight now. Youzhou is very close to Xiazhou. Xiazhou has elite guards, and Youzhou has heavy troops. The Xixia people have sent a large number of scouts to watch Shizhou at any time. If we have trouble, you The state will send troops immediately." Liu Qi said, "The Jingzhao government ordered to send troops now, it must be in the overall consideration."

"What kind of overall situation, at least let us know!"

Liu Kai glanced at Li Yanqi and said, "It's best not to know, let us fight, just fight!"

"Order!"

Liu Kai was quite shocked at this time, and the letter clearly stated that there was a masterpiece of the Song Dynasty in Xiazhou, and even the name was mentioned.

He never thought that that person was actually the master of Song Dynasty!

"Report! Liu Shuai, there is an urgent military report!"

"Come in!"

When Liu Kai opened it, he was overjoyed. The Divine Guards had penetrated from Mingtangchuan to Anqingze, and were about to launch an attack on Anqingze.

An Qingze is just to the north of Xiazhou. As long as it is captured there, Xiazhou will be attacked from many sides.

Chapter 1024 Competing for An Qingze ([-]rd update)

Wei Xiang is actually very painful.

According to the military system of the Song Dynasty, if the commander-in-chief is absent, the general staff can act as the temporary commander-in-chief to command the troops.

Wu Jie went to Yanmenguan to fight the Jinren, and the guards threw Wei Xiang to him.

Wei Xiang is a theoretical school, drawing strategic maps, preaching the spirit of the Bianjing Lecture Hall, and letting the military department spy on intelligence and draw up battle plans, it is okay.

If you really want him to command the army, the fire is still a little bit worse.

Fortunately, Yang Zheng is still in the team.

Fortunately, before Wu Jie's departure, the Shenwei Army had been building fortifications in Tumaochuan, Dahengshui, and Mingtangchuan to the west of Linzhou for more than a year, and continued to expand its strategic depth to the west.

Otherwise, it would be a huge pressure on the army and logistics to quickly march hundreds of miles between these barren mountains.

After Wei Xiang ate the last bite of wild game, Yang Zheng walked in, saw Wei Xiang with a mouth full of oil, and shouted: "Old Wei! What time is it now, and you are still eating and drinking here! Hurry up! There are many dead It's time to eat and drink!"

"Hey! Yang Zheng, what did you say, you cursed me to death!" Wei Xiang immediately jumped up, widening his eyes.

"When you fight, you hang your head on your trouser belt, so death is a bird!" Yang Zheng's saliva was about to spray on Wei Xiang's face.

"I am your Shangguan! How dare you..."

"Okay! Shangguan, now An Qingze's party members are charging towards us like a mad wolf with their machetes and hammers!"

Wei Xiang was startled, and vaguely heard shouts coming from outside, he immediately asked in surprise: "How many people are here?"

"It's all here!"

"How much is it all?"

Yang Zheng shouted: "I have to ask you this question, and all the scouts will report to you!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wei Xiang immediately put on his armor and shouted outside, "Ding Yan! Ding Yan!"

Not long after, a young man ran in: "The next official is here!"

"Military newspaper! Military newspaper!"

"There are about 3000 Dangxiang people advancing towards us in the west, 2000 troops in the mountains to the north, 1000 troops in the mountains to the south, and more than [-] people ambushed in the mountains to the east. They should be their Bubazi!"

"You mean, we're surrounded?"

"Yes!"

"Then what do we do now?" Wei Xiang asked.

Yang Zheng said: "What else can I do, kill a bloody way out! Kill An Qingze in front of him without leaving any armor, and grab all the food!"

"Then you go to deploy soldiers, everything will be in your command." Wei Xiang said.

"Oh!" Yang Zhengda sighed, turned around and ran out of the tent, "I really don't know why Wu Shuai handed over the army to you! I'm going!"

Ding Yan said, "Shangguan, what instructions do you have?"

Wei Xiang followed Yang Zheng out without changing his face and heartbeat, and said, "Report the military situation at any time."

"Yes."

Wu Jie naturally has Wu Jie's perspective when looking at people.

Wei Xiang's biggest advantage is that he doesn't act blindly.

When he doesn't know what to do, he definitely doesn't force himself.

This is more than [-]% of the people.

Coupled with his theoretical knowledge, as well as his skilled operation of scouts and army commanders, it is enough to solve the problem of connecting battalions in the large army.

Yang Zheng is a brave general. After he left, he issued several military orders.

First of all, the forward troops lined up quickly, and the cavalry hurriedly prepared.

The most important thing is the artillery battalion, which is divided into the north and the south, because the mountains are the most complicated there.

This tiger crouching cannon fights in mountain warfare like it is hanging out, it is most suitable for deterring enemies from the north and the south.

Anqingze is an important stronghold of the Xixia people a hundred miles north of Xiazhou. If they capture this place, the road to the north of Xiazhou will basically be cut off.

At that time, Xixia wants reinforcements to support Xiazhou, and the north will face the threat of soldiers from the Divine Guard.

If Wu Jie had been here, the battle would have gone more smoothly, even more strangely, so strangely that the Xixia people doubted their lives.

But Wu Jie is one person after all, it is impossible to divide him into two.

At this moment, Yang Zheng put on his helmet, and he said to Wei Xiang: "I'll go to the front, and you guard the two wings, especially the north and south sides. I have arranged infantry and crossbowmen for the rear army, and they can't attack! I will kill them first. Their main force!"

"Okay, pay more attention to safety!"

Yang Zheng didn't say much. He ran to the forward. At this time, the forward had already lined up. With the sound of the horn, Song Jun began to advance.

But the large army of party members has already rushed over.

Anqingze is not considered an important town, and it is located in the hinterland to the north of Xiazhou. With a place like Xiazhou, Li Qianshun and Brother Li Cha naturally would not arrange elites to station there.

Among the party members here, there are only about one or two thousand in armor, and the rest are wearing ordinary tattered clothes.

But if you underestimate them, you will suffer.

These guys have lived in this difficult place all year round, they are fierce and aggressive, they are also extremely familiar with the terrain, and they walk like flying.

Before those forwards rushed forward, many party members suddenly appeared between the mountains on both sides.

They were agile and ran towards this side, but after a hundred meters, they started shooting with bows and arrows.

Wei Xiang looked left and right, and saw Xixia people rushing from all directions, there were shouts of killing everywhere, and dust was everywhere.

It seems that these Xixia people are waiting for themselves to go to the mountains before doing anything.

Wei Xiang cursed secretly: "These thieves are really cunning!"

Bows and arrows flew towards the wings like rain, hitting the armor and shield of the Song army, making countless sharp sounds.

When the Song army was preparing to fight back, cavalry appeared between the mountain roads on the north and south sides.

The Xixia war horses are tall, and there is no shortage of horses in Xixia.

At this time, two cavalrymen of 500 each rushed out, and these cavalrymen were still wearing armor. They held spears and shouted: "Kill! Kill..."

They went fast, and the horses were as strong as the wind.

The cavalry tactics of the Xixia people are very characteristic. They charge forward in one breath and can break through the enemy's formation, and the infantry behind them will follow up and charge.

If you can't break through, don't love to fight, run immediately!

And it is the kind of running separately, running without a trace.

Of course, after the cavalry of the Xixia people ran separately, their war horses would soon start looking for their partners according to the smell.

Scatter fast, get together fast.

After getting together, they began to make surprise attacks on the enemy according to the battle situation.

This is Xixia cavalry.

Da Song suffered a lot in their hands at first.

At this time, the cavalry rushed towards the two wings amidst the screams of killing.

There were not many crossbowmen on the two wings of the Song army, but Yang Zheng deployed artillery.

bang bang bang...

The tiger crouching cannon burst out with a roar that shook the sky, and the iron cannons rushed out one after another, mainly targeting not the cavalry of the Xixia people, but the Bubazi between the mountains on both sides.

However, as soon as the artillery sounded, the horses that had been charging very fast were suddenly frightened.
