Chapter 56 Only Seven Days

An error occurred while processing s private files

The wolf smoke rolled up.

The sound of horns and drums echoed violently among the mountains and fields.

The Xia army soldiers began to retreat, and they quickly retreated into the mountains and forests on both sides.

Yang Weizhong decisively ordered to pursue, pursue him with all his might, and kill the enemy.

The battlefield situation suddenly reversed, and the Song army launched a charge, and teams of soldiers followed the enemy, attacking and killing wantonly. The Xia army was not in chaos, nor did they collapse. Although the Song army followed behind and chased them relentlessly, the terrain gradually benefited the Xia army. They climbed higher mountains and they could suppress the Song army from a high place.

Xiao Heda led his army to block the attack. Under his command, thousands of Xia soldiers seized the favorable terrain and fought bravely against the rushing tiger army.

At the same time, Li Dingchuan knew from the ascending wolf smoke that Bailuoquan and Xiao Heda were about to evacuate the battlefield, which shows that Gai Zhucheng was lost, and the Xia army was in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides and had to retreat quickly. Li Dingchuan was shocked. He didn't know why Gai Zhucheng was lost so quickly, but the fact is that Gai Zhucheng was lost,

The Tiger Lie Army, which was attacking from this front, was crossing Gaizhu City and killing Niujiao Mountain.

The battle was suddenly defeated, and the good situation suddenly collapsed and there was no power to recover. Li Dingchuan was in great pain. In desperation, he had to order his subordinates to light the wolf smoke and point out the assembly direction for the retreating Xia army, so as not to panic and run away from the wrong position and delay the retreat time. In order to prevent the Song army from immediately resuming and pursuing the pursuit, Li Dingchuan ordered his subordinates to cut down trees immediately, set up temporary roadblocks, and delay the speed of the Song army's pursuit.

It was right now, and Zhe Ke beg to take the army to Niujiao Mountain in person.

Xiao Heda could no longer stop him, and his soldiers were killed and injured. He was killed by the Tiger Lieutenant Army and the Northwest Army, and the blocking battle formation collapsed. During the fierce battle, Xiao Heda was surrounded and killed by the soldiers of the Jingyuan Army. Thousands of Xia soldiers were killed and injured, and in the end only a few hundred people fled into the mountains.

Xiao Heda not only won Bailuoquan the time to retreat, but also stabilized the morale of the Xia army to a certain extent. Without Xiao Heda's desperate attack and allowing tens of thousands of tiger brigades to enter the battlefield, the Xia army would be unable to evacuate in an orderly manner even if it did not collapse, and its losses would be

It must be amazing.

Bailuoquan with more than 20,000 people retreated... Although the Song army pursued with all their might, they were not familiar with the terrain. In addition, the fierce and tenacious attack on the Xia army was greatly delayed the speed of the Song army's pursuit.

In the afternoon, the Huli Army and the Northwest Army supported the Huli Army from Gaizhu City had at least 50,000 people. The total strength of these more than 50,000 people, plus the troops of Yang Weizhong, Hou Jiao and Zhe Kecun exceeded 80,000. Eighty thousand soldiers swept across Niujiao Mountain like a tide, killing all the Xia army that could be killed.

Hailasu led the horse army to quickly cross Niujiao Mountain, intending to rush to the Xia army. Before retreating to Tong'an City, he gave them a heavy blow. Unexpectedly, he left Niujiao Mountain and found fallen trees on the mountain road. These trees formed a roadblock of hundreds of steps. Hailasu was so angry that he cursed and urgently sued Roland, asking him to lead people to clear the roadblocks and help the horse army kill to Tong'an City as soon as possible.

At the beginning of Shen Shichu, the sky was getting darker. On the mountain road leading to Tong'an, Xia army generals and soldiers rushed out of the forests on both sides in groups, slowly forming a torrent of fear, running wildly towards Tong'an City.

Li Dingchuan took Hu and stood on the side of the road, looking for Bailuoquan and Xiao Heda.

Bailuoquan was guarded by his entourage in the middle, with his hair disheveled, and his hair was lost. He was very embarrassed and looked extremely depressed. When Li Dingchuan called him at the top of his throat, he didn't react for a long time, looking in a state of dismay. Li Dingchuan pulled him to the side of the road and asked, "How did Gai Zhu lose it? Why did he lose it in half a day? What happened?"

"We're fooled." Bai Luoquan smiled bitterly, "Li Hu hid an army in Lanzhou, with at least 70,000 or 80,000 people, or more. This morning, this army suddenly appeared and conquered Gaizhu within two hours."

Li Dingchuan was shocked and couldn't help but fight a few cold wars, and immediately thought of the safety of Tong'an City. If Li Hu had an army of more than 100,000 people in his hands, then the small Tong'an City could not resist the attack of the Tiger Lie Army, and the Karochuan defense line was in danger.

"When Gai Zhucheng asked us for help, we didn't believe it, and believed that the defenders in the city lied about military information." Bailuoquan continued, "When they asked for help again, the two Song troops were about to join forces, and we are doing our best to intercept it.

There is no military force to adjust at all." Bailuoquan thought of today's bloody battle, and thought of the brothers who died in Niujiao Mountain, and his voice trembled. "When he asked for help for the third time, the Niujiao Mountain battlefield had been killed in a group. Both sides were fighting crazy. We didn't even have time to breathe, so how could we have time to support?"

"Japan was lost like this?" Li Dingchuan barely controlled his emotions and asked coldly.

Bailuoquan smiled bitterly, "The enemy is chasing us, and there will be a bloody battle tomorrow. We need reinforcements, otherwise Karochuan will not be able to defend it."

"Where is Xiao Heda?" Li Dingchuan asked, "When did he evacuate?"

Bailuoquan looked back at the distant mountains buried in the dusk, and was speechless. Li Dingchuan asked again. A entourage from Bailuoquan whispered a few words, Xiao Heda stopped the rear and stopped him. He had only a few thousand men. Under the attack of tens of thousands of tiger brigades, there were many dangers.

Li Dingchuan stroked his forehead with his hand, feeling dizzy and his mind was blank. Who could have expected that in the battle of Niujiao Mountain, Zhuo and the two commanders of the Southern Army were killed one after another, Zhuo and the 30,000 troops in Nanjun were even lost, and most of them were probably able to escape back.

Only a few thousand.

"Tell me the order." Li Dingchuan thought for a moment, turned around and shouted to his entourage, "Tell the order along the way, asking the soldiers to withdraw Tong'an as quickly as possible and reorganize the army, and must not be delayed."

At dusk, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army and the Northwest Army cleared the remaining enemies in Niujiao Mountain. The troops quickly rectified their troops and rushed to Tong'an City overnight.

In the evening, Li Hu summoned the commanders of various armies to discuss strategies to attack Tong'an City in Gaizhu City.

Zhu Xia informed the generals of the military situation on the Helan Mountain battlefield and the Hexi battlefield. Luo Qinghan and Yelu Mage had surrounded Helan Mountain on three sides, which was particularly gratifying. Tan Hongyi's troops of the Sixth Army of the Hulie Army conquered the Keyi Gate and approached Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of the Western Xia. Yao Pingzhong was still defending in Yingya Fort in Liangzhou, and the guerrilla warfare of more than a dozen 100-man teams played an important role. According to the scattered news they received, the Uighurs and Tatar tribes in Ganzhou and Suzhou began to rebel, and the Xia army in Hexi had already drawn some troops to quell the rebellion.

"We have severely damaged the main force of the Xia army today, and this news will be within two or three days

It was transmitted to Hexi and within four days. "Zhu Xia stood in front of the map and pointed to Helan Mountain and said, "The situation in Helan Mountain is obviously unfavorable to the Xia army. If they heard that Karochuan could not be defended, would the emperor and court of Xixia immediately retreat to Helan Mountain and then transfer the main force of the Xia army to Hexi and Shuofang?"

This possibility is still very high. Currently, Helan Mountain is surrounded by the Tiger Lieutenant Army on three sides. If the Karochuan defense line is lost and Shuofang is lost, Helan Mountain will be surrounded by all sides, and the Xixia people will be over. So if nothing unexpected happens, the emperor, court and main army of the Xixia are very likely to retreat to Hexi. Although the current situation in Hexi is not good, Yao Pingzhong's limited strength cannot pose a substantial threat to Hexi, and the threat caused by the rebellion of the Chinese Bodhis will not be too great. As long as the main force of the Xixia arrived in Hexi, neither Yao Pingzhong nor the rebels would have a place to live.

"Let's make a plan. If the Emperor of Xixia decides to retreat to Hexi on the 12th, then within half a month, the Emperor of Xixia can definitely reach Xiliang Prefecture." Zhuxia's fingers on the Helan Mountain on the map slowly drew along the Yellow River. When the Yellow River was about to turn, Zhuxia's fingers stopped, "This location is called Shatuo, located between Xiliang Prefecture and Xingqing Prefecture. If we want to surround Helan Mountain and surround the Emperor of Xixia and his main army in Xingqing Prefecture, then we must rush to Shatuo before the people of Xixia, block the West, block the West, and then we must rush to Shatuo before the people of Xixia, block the West.

The retreat of the Xia people."

"It takes about seven hundred miles from Tong'an City to Shatuo, and it takes us seven days to get there."

"There are about 500 miles from Xingqing Prefecture to Shatuo. If the Xixia people start evacuating on the thirteenth, they will be able to reach Shatuo on the thirteenth."

"Today's eighth day, tomorrow's nineth day. If the Ming Dynasty rushes to Shatuo, then it will be sixteen in seven days. You can just seize Shatuo in front of the Xixia people and complete the siege of Helan Mountain."

Li Hu and several commanders looked at the map without saying a word. In fact, this could not be done at all. Even if the Hu Lie Army took a day to take Tong'an, there would be no time to rush to Shatuo. In other words, if the Xixia Emperor Li Qianshun decided to evacuate Helan Mountain immediately, then when the Hu Lie Army conquered Tong'an, Li Qianshun had basically arrived in Xiliang Prefecture.

"There is another encirclement site, Xiliang Prefecture." Zhu Xia continued, "Xiliang Prefecture is more than 1,000 miles away from Xingqing Prefecture and more than 500 miles away from Tong'an City. If the Emperor of Xixia arrives at Xiliang Prefecture on the 22nd, then we must take Tong'an City on the 15th, which means we still have seven days to attack."

Zhu Xia finally summarized a sentence: If you want to win the Western Expedition, you must conquer Tong'an City within seven days, so that the Tiger and Lieutenant Army can firmly control the initiative on the battlefield, otherwise the initiative may be robbed by the Xixia people.

Li Hu, Yang Keshi, Yang Weizhong, Zhe Keqiu and others looked at each other, thinking that the seven-day time was too short, and the enemy's reinforcements must be considered.

Sure enough, Zhu Xia then talked about the reinforcements of the Western Xia.

"We launched an attack on the first day of the first day. Before today, the Xixia people had the advantage, but this does not mean that the Karochuan defenders did not ask for help from Helan Mountain and Hexi." Zhu Xia said, "From the current scouts' investigation, no reinforcements arrived in Helan Mountain or Hexi, but will reinforcements arrive in Karochuan in the next few days? There are more than a thousand miles from Helan Mountain to Gaizhu City, and more than 500 miles from Hexi to Tong'an. If there are reinforcements, they will definitely arrive in the next few days. I have already deployed a large number of scouts in Qinshan and Dundun Mountain in the east, and some scouts in Zhongbao and Wusheng areas in the north. If the enemy's reinforcements come from the direction of Hexi, the difficulty of our attack on Tong'an City will be greatly increased. On the contrary, if the enemy comes along the Yellow River, we can attack them with a measure.

Not enough."
