The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 183 Xiazhou City

Tongwan City, its majestic imperial city standing on the beach, its rock-solid white walls, lined horse faces, towering corner towers, unique "Shentai Secret Room" structure and majestic palace building ruins, clearly seducing

The city is located from east to west and is the outer gate city, the east city and the west city. The outer gate city is rectangular in plane with a circumference of nearly 4,000 steps. The middle of the east and west city is separated by a wall, and the circumference is more than 2,000 steps, commonly known as the head

Daocheng, Erdaocheng and Sandaocheng. It is formed by the land with high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and is more than ten feet above the Wuding River's water surface. They are all made of rammed earth. Because of the terrain and the largest area to accommodate, it is quite irregular.

The outer city is facing the original edge of the northern bank of Wuding River. The city walls are tall, thick and majestic, undoubtedly due to military considerations to try to occupy the favorable terrain to consolidate urban defense.

The East Inner City and the West Inner City combine to form a large inner city. This large inner city is the capital of Tongwancheng built by Helian Bobo. Since then, Xiazhou City has built a further outer city to form a three-dimensional city circle and mark it.

With different functional areas of Xiazhou City, Xicheng (Imperial City) is the residence of Emperor Helian Bobo of Daxia and his royal family, where the government affairs are handled, and the location of the central government office; Dongcheng (outer city) is an ordinary residential area and commercial area,

Handicraft workshop distribution locations and military camps.

It was called Xiazhou City from the 11th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The urban functional area pattern of Xiazhou City was basically unchanged. Xicheng successively became the Xiazhou General Administration Office, Xiazhou Governor's Office, Ningshuo Ambassador's Office, and Xiazhou Jiedu.

The military and political organs such as the Ministry of Education, as well as the garrisons of Xiazhou, Huazheng County, and Shuofang County, as well as several public facilities, such as warehouses, bell towers, and drum towers, are distributed in this city. The east city is rock green and Shuofang

The locations of county-level government offices are civilians, merchants, travelers, military soldiers' residential areas, commercial and handicraft distribution areas. The outer city becomes a military camp, livestock pen, handicraft workshop, and public activities.

But at this time, Xiazhou City was no longer so powerful, but it was like it was in its twilight age. The remaining palaces in the city became dilapidated houses, with only a few hundred families in the city, and the rest were garrisons and yamen. Although this was the same as

The immigration of abandoned cities in the Song Dynasty was related to the major earthquakes in history, but it was also closely related to the traditions and customs of the Xia Kingdom. After the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, the territory of the western part of Guanlong was lost. The western part of Longyou Road and Guannei Road both belonged to the Tubo Kingdom.

.Read with me h-u-n mixed*h-u-n--Please remember that the Tubo Kingdom in the late Tang Dynasty was weak and its race was scattered. The largest one had thousands of families and the smaller ones had their own leaders.

It was in a state of division and had already entered Longyou at this time. Dangxiang in the pass was extremely close to Tubo in terms of social economy and living customs.

The profound changes caused by this are that since the Tang Dynasty, the administrative systems of prefectures, counties, and townships have been completely degenerated into tribal systems, and their customs have many enemies and do not interact with each other. When there is a battle, they will be in harmony with each other.

The arrows were sent to each other, and they followed like a stream; but the leader was in charge, and they were all scattered in the mountains and rivers, and they were often not worried. Therefore, only a small number of Han people lived in the city and the French people lived in the wild.

After Li Jiqian rebelled against the Song Dynasty, he consciously developed this state. In the fifth year of Chunhua of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, he moved the people of Suizhou to Pingxia in Pingxia. In the sixth year of Xianping, he moved the wealthy families in Yin and Xia provinces westwards, and Ding Zhuang moved to the outside of the river.

The Han system was concentrated in the name of the Western Xia Dynasty, and the Fan system was fully developed. As a result, the Xia State was scattered among the deserts and mountains, and the city was not solid.

However, in the past few decades, the situation occurred when the Song army attacked Xia in the fourth year. There was no county along the way, and there were only dozens of residents in Xiazhou.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xixia has been in constant wars, and in a cold climate, frequent famines have been found. Therefore, for the purpose of providing logistics support for the military and for disaster prevention and reduction, the Xia government has reserved food in border areas or important strategic areas.

It also establishes a complete warehouse system for reserved grain, allocated officials and desk management. Xiazhou is located in the Hetao grain production area, with convenient transportation, bordering the capital of the north and the border of the Song and Xia in the south. It has always been the place where the army gathered during the war, loess

The plateau has a dry climate and is characterized by upright soil, which is convenient for excavation of soil crypts to preserve grain. Therefore, a Guojiao warehouse was built in Qiliping, adjacent to Xiazhou City, to store grain for 100,000 stones, which is enough for 100,000 people to eat for two months.

Zhao Ren walked around and found that the situation was basically clear and he felt confident. The Xiazhou City Defense Layout and the report transferred to him by the Intelligence Department were not much different. The Song army came here thirty years ago last time, so although

Wars continue, but they all happen in border areas. Xiazhou is far away from the border and there are natural dangers, which leads to a great decline in vigilance. The city is lax, and the quality of sergeants is also very different from that of the soldiers on the border. There are even those who guard the city.

Many female soldiers were not inspected when they entered and left the city gates.

On the way back, Zhao Ren had a problem. He planned to modify the plan formulated by the prince, focusing on Qiliping. Their army only brought food and grass for more than ten days to go to the battle. Now they are almost exhausted. When the battle is over, they

He had to stick to the city, so there was no place to collect grain. Later, the prince led his army to join forces and needed food and grass supply, which was all based on the granary in Qiliping.

... ...

Zhao Ren returned to Banjingyi, and the people from the Intelligence Department had arrived. He presented the latest battle report from Hedong. He learned that the prince had wiped out nearly half of the Chage army, and the remaining troops were blocked in Zhuilunchuan, and the annihilation was only in front of him. All the generals were

Extremely happy. The Loyal and Brave Army had more than 18,000 people, and Zhao Ren brought out more than 8,000 people. The prince defeated nearly 10,000 troops with just 10,000 people. This is no precedent in the history of the Song Dynasty. Now

Just when they succeed, they can rush their troops to advance westward and attack Xingling. Naturally, everyone is ready to try.

It was originally planned to arrive in Fengzhou on the 10th, but due to the storm on the way, it took two days to delay. Moreover, the army hid in this small town for a long time, and it was inevitable that the news would be leaked. After everyone discussed, they decided to end the rest immediately and act overnight.

It's summer now, with long days and short nights. It's already dawn at the time of Yin, and the time is not waiting for people. Zhao Ren will tell the full plan he has considered:

Zhao Yong led the third battalion of the Lion General, the fourth battalion of the Dragon General, and the third battalion of the Dragon General, to strengthen the first battalion of the army's direct machine artillery, the engineering battalion and the scout battalion were responsible for the task of capturing Xiazhou City. The battle adopted the raid tactics, if discovered by the enemy, the attack failed.

, immediately turned into a strong attack, bombarded the gate of the outer corridor city with cannons, forced entry, control the entire city, and then sent troops westward to guard against reinforcements sent by Yaozhou.

Zhao Zhong led the fourth battalion of the Dragon General, the third battalion of the Tiger General, and the fourth battalion of the Tiger General, to take charge of the task of capturing Dejing Town, annihilated the defenders, and occupying Qiliping. In this battle, we must strictly prevent the Xia army from destroying grain, and leave some troops to guard after completing the task.

The troops captured the surrounding tribes, conscripted all transport tools such as Ding Zhuang, camel horses, and carts, and cooperated with the baggage battalion to transport grain to Xiazhou City. Zhao Ren led his army's personal military camp, Leopard generals' third battalion and Fourth battalion were reserve teams, ready to support at any time

The two armies sent alerts to Shizhou to prevent the enemy from reinforcements.

The dispatch was decided, and the soldiers were having dinner at the time of the son of the army, and Zhao Yong led his army to set out first. The horse picked the bell and the man held a zither. Under the guidance of the guide, he rushed along the road to Xiazhou City. Half an hour later, Zhao Zhong then went twenty miles.

Setting out in Dejing Town outside, Zhao Ren stayed behind Banjingyi to support the two armies.

Two flowers bloom and each one shows one branch. Let’s talk about Zhao Yong first. He led his army to gallop all the way. When he was Chou, he arrived at the city of Xiazhou. Three miles away from the city, the whole army dismounted and led his horse and walked one mile away from the city. The whole army stopped moving forward. At this time,

It was the darkest moment, and only the dark city and the lights that appeared in front of you were seeing.

After conducting reconnaissance, Zhao Yong had learned that Xiazhou's defense was slack, and the troops were already stretched to defend the huge city. Besides, they were irresponsible guys, so although the city was strong, there were loopholes everywhere. Zhao Yong first selected the army from the army.

The hundred soldiers who were good at climbing were led by Zhang Ting, commander of the Third Battalion of Tiger General, climbed up from the most relaxed East Inner City, cleared the posts and the troops guarding the gate, opened the city gate to welcome the army into the city, and blossomed in their stomachs.

The East Inner City used to be a residential and commercial area, but now it has been abandoned. The moat is almost filled with quicksand, and the city wall is the lowest, but it is as high as seven or eight feet high, which is as high as the current seven-story building.

The land built a city with a light like a mirror and almost nowhere to rely on it. When Zhang Ting was in the training camp of Beifu, he was known for his good climbing. He used the faint starlight to find a city wall that fell off the surface of the city gate and took the lead in climbing the city.

He carried a long rope on his back, carried only a dagger and a short gun, and went into battle lightly.

As the surface of the city wall fell off, the dense tamp holes left by the fixed tamp when building the city were exposed. Climbing can only use these small holes of varying depths. The difficulty can be imagined. Zhang Ting tightened his belt and took a deep breath.

With the assistance of the two soldiers, they rushed upwards, grabbed the tamp hole, tried their best to thrust, stepped on the wall with one hand, tried their best to move into the tamp hole and stabilized their body, and then went back and forth again...

.Watching Zhang Ting moves upward little by little like a gecko, slowly turning into a blurred black shadow until he disappears into the darkness, the people under the city are so nervous that they can't breathe. The success or failure of the surprise attack depends on him.

Time seemed to have frozen. I don’t know how long it took. Maybe a quarter of an hour or only a few breaths. A long rope finally fell from the city. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They quickly grabbed the long rope and shook it a few times, informing the commander.

The rope had already landed, and when the city sent another signal, several soldiers with ropes on their backs immediately climbed the city. As more and more ropes were hanging down, the speed of climbing the city became faster and faster.

The lantern at the top of the city suddenly went out, but after a moment, the lantern was lit again and shook twice under the city. "General, Commander Zhang successfully climbed the city and the post was cleared!" The change at the top of the city was immediately discovered by the soldiers under the city.

, report to Zhao Yong immediately.

"The whole army gets on horseback and enters the city!" Zhao Yong stood up and shouted loudly under the city, anxiously waiting for news.

At this time, two red signal flares soared into the sky and exploded in the air. The closed city gate was opened. A pile of burning fires pointed out the direction of their attack. The gate of Xiazhou City was opened to the Zhongyong Army!
