The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 159: Demon is one foot taller

Zhao Qi was so anxious that he felt uncomfortable, but Cha Ge seemed much more calm. After withdrawing from Zhenwu City, he only brought 20,000 Iron Harriers and a thousand Poxi troops to accompany him, and the rest of the troops were released to the garrison. (Unfinished to wait for it.

The founding of the Western Xia Dynasty for a hundred years has increased its population through plundering, encouraging childbirth, and induced surrender. However, wars continue to continue and it is still difficult to supplement consumption. The population has only been more than 1.8 million, and every time it sends hundreds of thousands of troops, it is almost necessary to draw the whole country.

Young and strong people join the army, even young and strong women have to take on the task of transporting baggage and defending the city. Another problem is that the Xixia implements a military system that is both soldiers and civilians, and is fully equipped with soldiers. Areas with dense populations are often developed agriculture and animal husbandry.

All young and strong people in the region joined the army. Now it is the spring plowing season. The fields are not cultivated and livestock cannot be transferred. This will destroy the fragile economic foundation of Xixia and the result will be devastating. Therefore, Cha Ge has always wanted to drag the spring plowing.

Gather troops to fight again.

But his opponent seemed to have seen his own ideas and kept creating trouble, which forced him to send troops. Therefore, in order to reduce the supply pressure in the war zone and to allow the soldiers to go home for spring farming, Cha Ge only brought more than 20,000 yuan.

The elite troops were ready to cross the Yellow River and recruited troops on the spot in Weizhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou and other border prefectures to alleviate the economic pressure brought by sending troops.

The border of Song Xia is along the border, starting from Hengshan in the east, and ending at Tiandushan in the west, and Mazhishan in the area. Although this place is a mountainous area, the ecological environment is relatively good, suitable for farming and pastoralism, suitable for production development, with a dense population, and the garrison alone reaches tens of thousands of troops.

The distribution of troops and garrisoning tasks are: from Hebei to Wulashan to prepare for the Khitan; Henan Hongzhou, Baibao, Anyanzhou, Luoluo, Tiandu, Weijingshan and other 50,000 people

, to prepare for the environment, Qing, Zhenrong and Yuanzhou; 50,000 people on the left wing of Youzhou Road, to prepare for the Fu, Yan, Lin and the Mansion.

On the tenth day of May, Chage led his army across the Yellow River and entered the Henan area of ​​Xixia. He dispatched 60,000 elite troops in Xishoubaotai Army, Jingsai Army, Jianing Army, and Xiangyou Army. He also added the remaining troops of the Shenwang Army.

Ten thousand people, on May 20, there were already soldiers in Mingtangchuan. The entire army had a total of 90,000, claiming to be 200,000, and it was stance to launch a large-scale attack on the Linfu area.

In theory, when raising troops to rescue troops, the focus is on fast attack and quick strikes, and quick relief to avoid long nights and dreams. However, after Brother Cha made a move, he stopped moving. Although Fengzhou was in a hurry every day and the court kept urging him, he just wandered.

The attack between the army is like a master fighting. It is important to be as quiet as a virgin and as moving as a rabbit. A master generally does not take action. If he takes action, he will see blood, and blood will be fatal. (To be continued. 89 Free novel reading "") Cha Ge and Zhao Qi

They are all such masters, and when they take action, they will definitely die, corpses and seas of blood, and blood will bleed thousands of miles away.

In fact, the battle between the two people had already begun before the army moved. Brother Cha had long seen through Zhao Jie's plan to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, and was unwilling to use large troops to Fengzhou, which became an isolated island, and gave up the good situation on the Western Front. And Zhao

Kazuki sent troops everywhere to harass him, cut off business channels, robbed the envoys of the two countries, and cut off trade exchanges between the various countries and the Xixia. On the other hand, he still used the old-fashioned counter-espionage plan, causing rumors to spread everywhere, saying that King Chage of Jin had his own troops and wanted to secede the capital.

Hexi made himself king, but now he did not obey the orders of the King of Xia, which is a sign.

These strategies are not very clever, but some people believe it, because Zhao Qie calculated that someone would believe it. Those in power are most afraid of losing power. Even their younger brother would not be relieved. In the light of 'It would rather believe that they have something than they have nothing' In the spirit of the Xia King ordered Chage to withdraw troops from the western front to rescue Fengzhou.

In this first round, Zhao Qiong seemed to have a little advantage, but in fact he did not take advantage. Although Cha Ge sent troops, he successfully delayed it for a month. Not only did he alleviate the problem of lack of labor in spring plowing, but he also waited until the grass sprouted and transported in ancient times The baggage, because the horses are heavy, are generally solved on the spot and are not included in the supply list. After the grass returns to green, the problem of horses eating was solved. Zhao Qi mobilized a large army to siege the city for a month, but people eat horses but use nothing. A lot of food and wages were delayed, and the farming time was delayed.

... ...

"Prince, now Brother Cha has arrived. An urgent report came from Hezhou, asking for troops to be dispatched to reinforce!" Wang Jin presented an urgent report in the tent of the Yong'an Village Central Army.

"Wang Chanjun, what are your opinions?" Zhao Qiong asked after reading it and put the letter on the table.

"Prince, Brother Cha is a famous general in the Western Xia Dynasty. He uses troops like a god. We have to guard against it. Now that we have completed the purpose of mobilizing the Xia army and resolving the siege on the Western Front, we should mobilize troops to reinforce Hezhou and unplug the siege on Mingtangchuan!" Wang Jin thought about it and replied.

"What should I do in Fengzhou?" Zhao Qi asked again.

"What the prince means to conquer Fengzhou and reinforce Hezhou?" Wang Jin looked at the prince, but nothing could be seen from his face, and then said: "If we attack Fengzhou, Brother Cha will definitely attack Hezhou fiercely. Then we will then If we fight on both sides, there are many enemies and we are few, I am afraid we will not be able to do it!"

"Then what you mean is to give up Fengzhou and reinforce Hezhou, right?" Zhao Qi asked. Wang Jin hesitated for a moment and nodded, "If we do that, we will be as good as Brother Cha's wishes and will be his. The plan!”

"Ah?! What does the prince say?" Wang Jin asked in surprise.

"Cho brother Cha now Chen Bing Mingtangchuan is not moving forward, so he told me that he has seen through my plan. As you said just now, he concluded that our soldiers are small and the generals are small, and Fengzhou is in a good position, and it is difficult to capture Fengzhou in a short time. , In order to avoid fighting on both sides, he had to withdraw the siege and reinforcements of Hezhou, so he achieved the goal of defeating the troops without fighting. We are just busy!" Zhao Qi said.

"The prince means to take down Fengzhou City and reinforce Hezhou, but a big battle is inevitable, and how much will our chances of winning!" Wang Jin guessed.

"I received information the day before yesterday. Xixia felt deeply that the country's strength was declining and it was difficult to fight again. It has decided to negotiate peace with our country!" Zhao Qie did not answer Wang Jin's question positively, but revealed internal information to him.

"The prince means that whether the attack or not, a great war is inevitable, or the two countries quit, and we will never have the chance to recover Fengzhou!" Wang Jin immediately figured out the key and replied.

"Yes, but Xixia rebelled and impermanent. This time we lost the opportunity. Once the national strength of Xixia recovered in the future, we will provoke the border again. It will be another disaster for our Song Dynasty!" Zhao Qi said, not only did he know that at this time Xixia was preparing to negotiate peace, and even Tong Guan knew very well that he wanted to use this to escape and turn the great defeat into a great victory.

"The prince is ready to fight. Not only will he capture Fengzhou, but he will also severely damage the Chage army!"

"You are too conservative, Wang Zongjun. My plan is to not only capture Fengzhou, but also to annihilate the Chage army and occupy all the land in Henan, so that Xixia will bow down and pay tribute every year, and dare not provoke my Song Dynasty!" Zhao Qi used a pen to draw a big circle on the map on the table, and pulled it all south of the Yellow River in. Wang Jin looked at the big circle drawn by the prince and didn't speak for a long time. This prince was really not shocking and never stopped talking. Da Song He has devoted his whole country to fighting Xixia for a hundred years and has not occupied such a large territory. However, he has to rely on his strength to work alone. It can be said that he is swallowing an elephant with a snake...

On May 26, the Hedong Army besieged Zhulun Village with the eighth and nine two generals on Zelu Road, and completely cut off the connection between Fengzhou and the outside world; the eleventh and twelve generals on Lanshi Road The tribes in Fengzhou were swept across all the tribes of all sizes, except for some people who fled to Liao, and were all subdued. On May 27, the Zhongyong Army and the Prefecture Army controlled the roads of Fengzhou City, and the troops were at the city, completing the siege of Fengzhou.

The governor of Fengzhou Qingyang climbed the city tower and looked down. He saw flags waving outside the city. The Song army set up camp three miles away. A soldier and horse were arranged three hundred steps below the city. The gate flag flashed, revealing a few lords. Weapon I have never seen before, but Weng Li behind him had seen it. This thing is extremely powerful. As long as it is stuck to it, it will be broken into pieces. Because there is a loud noise and a fire when it is launched, it is like a thunderbolt in the air. Xia The army called it "Sky Thunder" in fear.

"Prince Yan of the Song Dynasty, the Hedong Strategic Commander, informed the officials and civilians of Fengzhou that if the city surrenders, they can preserve their lives and property, and do not blame them in the past; if they resist stubbornly, when the city is destroyed, all of them will be exiled as slaves and their property will be confiscated. Get up, give you three hours to consider. If you don’t surrender, the heavenly soldiers will arrive and there will be no tiles!" At this time, a general rushed out of the Song army formation, shouted loudly to the top of the city, and then shot the notice with an arrow. The city is over, return to the formation.

"Hmph, let's surrender and dream!" Qingyang looked at the notice and threw it under the city and shouted angrily, "Call me: Huang-toothed child, dares to be king, dares to attack the city, and buried his bones under the city!"

The defenders on the city heard the prefect's order and shouted loudly at the city. They also felt that the Song army was foolish. When Xia Wang Yuanhao led hundreds of thousands of troops and attacked Fengzhou City several times, they all returned in a defeat. Later, Taking advantage of the mistakes of the Song generals, the city was captured. Now the Song army is only 20,000 under the city. They are backed by a strong city to occupy the territory. The food in the city can last for a month. One hundred thousand reinforcements are just 200 miles away. How to calculate I won't lose either.

These people became more and more courageous, and they changed their taste as they shouted. They began to bring some private words and greeted the ancestors of the Song army for 18 generations. Qing Yang saw that the Song army was silent and pointed at the city and laughed. Before he could finish laughing, he was pressed to the ground by Weng Li beside him. A rumbling thunder sounded in his ears, and the thunder seemed to explode on his head, followed by the ground moving. The mountain shook, as if the entire city wall was shaking...

"What's wrong?" After a while, Qingyang woke up from the shock. He looked up and saw that the city tower had collapsed. The soldiers who were shouting loudly just now changed their words, "Mom, Oh my god, dad's wailing, he was so tilted that he didn't shout. He stood there without standing, he was sitting without looking, and he was spitting blood and was still motionless.

"This is just a punishment for you to disrespect the prince. If you don't wake up, you will end up like this!" The officer in the Song army came back from the horse and shouted to the top of the city. Qingyang looked down at the chassis and wanted to say a few words But looking at the tragic situation on the city, I swallowed it back into my stomach...
