Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The Song army only rested for one night, and then began to attack Weizhou.

After the heavy artillery smashed and collapsed the city wall of Weizhou that day, the Song army rushed towards Weizhou City like a torrent.

At this time, Weizhou was completely surrounded by the Song army. After a day of fighting in the city, the Xixia people were almost wiped out.

In just one day, Weizhou was captured by Zhang Jun.

On the second day of October, Li Shifu also achieved a record in Longzhou.

Multiple Song armies began to encircle Yanzhou and Youzhou.

At this time, Li Qianshun's elite was already on its way to the south at high speed.

PS: Guys, there are only two chapters today. I have been to the Mid-Autumn Festival. You should also rest well and spend time with your family and friends. I wish you all a happy day.

Chapter 1048 Li Qianshun's decision (first update)

The scout hurried to Li Qianshun and presented the latest battle report of Youzhou to Li Qianshun.

After reading it, Li Qianshun's expression was calm, but his complexion seemed a little pale.

"Go and call Ren Dejing?" Li Qianshun said to his name, An Hui.

"Yes."

Not long after, Ren Dejing came.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Li Qianshun directly gave the battle report to Ren Dejing, motioning him to take a look.

Ren Dejing took it over, looked at it carefully, and after reading it, his face was a little stiff, but he had to say something, right?

After all, the emperor asked his courtiers to read it, and the courtiers would report and summarize after reading it.

Ren Dejing said: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

"Oh?" Li Qianshun said bluntly, "Shizhou and Xiazhou have all fallen, and the main force of the Song army has come from the south to the north. It seems that Hongzhou can't be kept. Why did you tell me not to worry? Where did you say that? Speaking of?"

"Multiple routes are the usual tactic of the Song army. They rely on the large number of people, but they may not be able to win if they have a large number of people. Back then, the Song army attacked Xia with five routes. Didn't they also return in a disastrous defeat?"

Li Qianshun said: "The Song army is now strong and strong, and it is not the same."

"Under His Majesty's wise leadership, my Great Xia has also become stronger."

"Does Qing have a way to defeat the enemy?" Li Qianshun asked again.

He knew that Ren Dejing was very capable, but he was a bit ambitious and had no integrity.

He has always been reluctant to give Ren Dejing too much power. In order to tie Ren Dejing, he took Ren Dejing's daughter as his concubine.

In recent years, Li Qianshun has offered advice and advice to Ren Dejing on many issues of internal affairs.

After all, the officials who surrendered from the Song Dynasty are indeed much more experienced than the party members in terms of internal politics.

The Wei Ming An Hui on the side said: "Ren Chengzhi is good at internal affairs, so it is inevitable that he will become a bit unfamiliar with military affairs. Your Majesty, don't make things difficult for him."

Wei's name Anhui is definitely not for the sake of Ren De's respect. He said this in another sense: Your Majesty, this guy is an idiot, don't ask him!

But Ren Dejing said: "Your Majesty, the Song army will attack from multiple directions, and they will definitely gather at a certain place. Where will this place be?"

Li Qianshun immediately asked, "Where?"

"The purpose of the Song Army is obvious. It is to conquer Hengshan." Ren Dejing continued, "Shizhou and Xiazhou have already fallen, and another main force of the Song Army has been killed from the south. If Hongzhou is lost, the two Song Army The soldiers will all reach Youzhou, and if Youzhou is lost, the Hengshan defense line will be lost, and Yanzhou will be isolated and hard to support."

"You mean that the Song Army will gather in Youzhou?"

"It can only be Youzhou." Ren Dejing said, "The Song Army wants to take Youzhou before His Majesty's army arrives."

"Then do you think Song Jun can take Youzhou before I arrive?"

"The Song army may take Youzhou."

Ren Dejing answered very cleverly.

"If Youzhou is lost, our army will have a harder time fighting the Song army. If Youzhou is here, our army can defeat the Song army."

"You said it will be more difficult, but there is still a chance of winning?"

"Your Majesty's personal conquest, of course, is sure to win!"

"Then you say, how to fight, there is no doubt that you will win?"

"At this moment, gather the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou. No matter how many times the Song army comes, Your Majesty will go all the way. Gather the most elite troops of my Great Xia and quickly defeat the Song army!"

"Mobilize Yanzhou soldiers and horses?" Li Qianshun said, "Yanzhou is also an important defensive city."

Ren Dejing said: "Yanzhou has prepared [-] troops. I think it is a waste of troops. It is better to dispatch [-] troops and go to Youzhou together with His Majesty. We will arrive in about five days."

Wei Ming Anhui said: "It's absolutely impossible!"

"Why?"

"Yanzhou is very close to the Dingbian army of the Song Dynasty. If the Song army finds out that we have dispatched Yanzhou soldiers and horses, the Dingbian army will definitely come out and come to Yanzhou. Yanzhou is the must for Youzhou to return to Xingqing Mansion. If there is a mistake, our army's retreat will be cut off, which is the most dangerous."

"This time the Song Army is obviously gathering a few soldiers and horses, and will never gather more troops in the Dingbian Army."

Ren Dejing retorted on the spot.

Ren Dejing used to be respectful to the Wei name Anhui, but now it is different, he feels that his chance to take power has come.

What can I say about Ren Dejing?

It is true that he has no morals, and he is temporarily rebellious, but it is also true that he is smart and capable.

Historically, the Khitan man Xiao Heda rebelled, and the Xixia people could not beat Xiao Heda, and was finally put down by the Han who rebelled from the Song Dynasty.

Xiao Heda himself has a strong military talent, but Xiao Heda is no match for Ren Dejing.

So don't think that civil servants will definitely not know how to fight.

"Why do you say that there is no border army?" Wei Ming Anhui said.

"The Song Army's focus is on Youzhou. It is impossible to send more troops to attack Yanzhou. Twenty thousand troops in Yanzhou are enough!"

"Don't forget, many military newspapers have shown that the Song army now has more powerful siege weapons!"

"Even so, [-] Yanzhou troops are enough to contain a large-scale Song army, unless the Song army arranges [-] troops in the direction of Yanzhou, which can quickly defeat Yanzhou in a short period of time, but this is absolutely impossible!" Ren De Jing said, "The strength of the Song army is also limited. If it were me, I would rather concentrate my forces to attack Weizhou!"

Li Qianshun was startled, his pupils instantly shrank to the size of two pinholes: "Weizhou?"

"That's right, Weizhou, after conquering Weizhou, you can cross the vast sea and go to Lingzhou without any worries!"

Ren Dejing's words immediately awakened Li Qianshun, and he said in a deep voice, "How much troops will the Song army attack Weizhou?"

Anhui, who was named Wei, immediately said: "Your Majesty, please give the veteran [-] soldiers and horses, and the veteran will immediately go to reinforce Weizhou!"

"No need!" Ren Dejing said again.

"Why?"

"It's pointless to reinforce Weizhou now. As long as the main force of the Song army is defeated in Youzhou, the Song army will retreat. When the other Song army takes Weizhou, what can we do?"

After Ren Dejing said this, Li Qianshun came back to his senses and nodded involuntarily.

In this way, Li Ganshun trusted Ren Dejing again.

"Ren Qing is right!" Li Qianshun immediately ordered, "Ren Qing, you take my soldier talisman and go to Yanzhou to dispatch [-] troops, and wait for my arrival!"

"The minister leads the order!"

Ren Dejing was overjoyed, he felt that after this battle, his status in the Xixia Kingdom would be raised by at least several levels.

Military power is in hand!

On the evening of the second day of October, Ren Dejing hurried to Yanzhou, and immediately started dispatching troops to Yanzhou.

At noon on the third day of October, Li Qianshun arrived in Yanzhou.

At the same time, fifty miles north of Yanzhou, the guards who had arrived at Tiemen Pass repelled the Xixia defenders at Tiemen Pass.

In the afternoon, Zhao Ning's main force was only forty miles away from Youzhou.

"Report! Your Majesty, we spied a Xixia cavalry attacking our army from behind!"

Zhao Ning said: "It seems that Brother Li Cha has also divided his troops. He is quite courageous. He still dares to divide his troops at this time!"

Chapter 1049 A Difficult Commander! (Second more)

Sun Fu jumped out and shouted: "Your Majesty, Brother Li Cha is trying to hold on! If you dare to divide the army at this time, you are brave enough. Now you only need to send a group of elites to destroy them!"

Fan Zhixu also said: "Your Majesty, I think this is indeed the case."

"Don't be fooled by the enemy's tricks." Zhao Ning said, "Brother Li Cha sent cavalry to chase after him, and we immediately sent troops to fight. Then he retreated?"

The crowd was silent.

Sun Fu said, "Then chase after him!"

"What should he do if he increases his troops again?"

"Where did he get the soldiers, wasn't he restrained by Zhang Bofen?"

"How can you know how many cavalry he has, and how do you know how he divides his troops to attack?" Zhao Ning asked, "If the enemy comes, we will fight, and if the enemy runs away, we will chase. Aren't we being led by the nose? "

Sun Fu also had nothing to say.

Once the battle situation is compressed to a small area, the changes will be very fast, and no one can guarantee that they can count the enemy dead in the first place.

"The rear army is ready to deploy defenses, and the original strategy remains unchanged."

"Yes!"

In the evening, Zhang Bofen withdrew his troops.

Today, the two sides have fought at least three times. Although the scale is small, one after another, scattered, but they are definitely fighting seriously, and each has its own outcome.

Zhang Chunming said: "King Jin, we have been fighting the Song army for two days, at least seven or eight times, and the Song army has not used artillery. It seems that this Song army intends to fight us, not to fight."

"The Song Army's fighting style is extremely steady, and they have a very clear understanding of the main target." Brother Li Cha said, "Who is the commander of the Song Army?"

"Now let's see how the past sent to harass the main force?"

Soon the scouts were back.

"Report! Your Highness, the main force of the Song army has not made any moves, only defending."

"Our army retreated, they didn't respond?"

"Our army retreated, and they moved on."

Brother Li Cha and Zhang Chunming looked at each other, Brother Li Cha said, "How many times have you been harassed?"

"Four times."

"Have you not chased him once?"

"no!"

Brother Li Cha sighed, and said unwillingly: "Who is the commander-in-chief of the Song Army? He doesn't take a bite of the meat that is delivered to his mouth?"

At this time, another scout came back, and the scout said: "Your Highness, His Majesty's army has arrived in Yanzhou at noon today!"

"It's Yanzhou!" Brother Li Cha suddenly became excited.

Yanzhou is only [-] miles away from Youzhou. Based on this calculation, Li Qianshun will be able to arrive at the battlefield of Youzhou tomorrow.

Zhang Chunming immediately said: "Your Highness, since His Majesty has arrived in Yanzhou, it's time for me to adjust our tactics."

"How to adjust?" Brother Li Cha asked.

"Divide the troops!"

"Divide the troops again?" Brother Li Cha was slightly surprised.

"Divide a small group of elites to entangle this Song army, and we will go north and enter the Youzhou battlefield."

Brother Li Cha started to walk back and forth, he said: "Dividing troops is a big taboo in military strategists."

"But it also depends on the timing. You must not copy the book of war mechanically. The division of troops is to make time for the main force. The commander of the Song Army has a very clear understanding of the battle situation and is not easily confused by us. Since he knows that the final battlefield is in Yuzhou. , our main force should not be restrained here! After all, the troops in your hands, Your Highness, are the best of my Great Xia's elite!"

Brother Li Cha hesitated again and again, and said: "How can we divide the troops to contain the Song army?"

"Send all the elites and logistics mixed together, and pull up more banners. As long as the Song Army can't judge the real strength within half a month, our goal will be achieved."

"How many people?"

"Five thousand! The main force went north overnight!"
