Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1020
Because the Jin army suddenly relieved the pressure, it seemed that some kind of unwritten contract had been reached, and all the tribes in the grassland flocked southward to plunder the cities of Xiabei. The powerful Kelei and Qiyan people also began to go south.

There were not many soldiers and horses left behind by the Xia army, and they were unable to stop the crazy offensive of tens of thousands of cavalry. They lost three battles and were forced to hide in a strong stronghold. The important northern stronghold of Wulahai City was surrounded, and the city was barely defended.

At this time, Wu Jie, Xuanwu, and Xuan Yi's army came to Dingbian Town, and the power of the Song army was greatly strengthened. The front-line troops reached the five armies of the imperial army, so it was natural that the northern servants needed to perform.

Wang De, the leader of the Xuanwu Army, went into battle. With more than [-] Xuanwu soldiers, he launched an offensive against the city of Nanping Prefecture, and the Xuanyi Army was responsible for supporting it.

This is the new army of the Northern Guards. Although the horse army is on its way back, they still have elite chariot soldiers, as well as a large number of fierce infantry soldiers. Coupled with the support of the township army, a large number of elite siege soldiers The use of equipment makes the attack go smoothly.

Wang De is not of the easy-going type either. This is the first battle of reinforcements for the Western Guards. He took a deep breath and warned all the generals to keep their spirits up. They can only win but not lose. All ministries should strengthen their inspections, and some will shrink back. military law.

The Xuanwu army was in full swing, with a military judge behind them, and all the officials from all ministries fought bravely to destroy the outlying strongholds of Nanping Prefecture without paying much price, which shows the strong ability of the Song army to attack fortified areas.

Under the cover of powerful firepower from trebuchets and reinforced bed crossbows, the Song army fought extremely bravely, and Wang De even supervised the battle under the city.The first general is extremely important to develop the style of an army. The Xuanwu Army has inherited Wang De's style, and its combat style is quite aggressive.

Nanping Prefecture is just the outskirts of Xiping Mansion, which is also the garrison point of Xiangqing Army. The Xia Army implemented a strategic contraction, and the strength of the outer stronghold was weak. The defenders resisted for only one day, and they were cut off and seized.

Wang De brought the brutality of the Song army to the extreme, just like Butcher Zhang in the South China Sea. He did not want any prisoners. class reprimand.

However, Wang De didn't take it seriously, thinking that Xia Jun's disobedience to the Communist Party and the people in the city also resisted stubbornly.

However, this battle also made Xia Jun terrified. The atrocities of Song Jun spread, which strengthened some people's determination to fight to the death, and also made some people waver, for fear that they would be slaughtered if they resolutely resisted.

Wu Jie had no choice but to follow suit and declare that the massacre of Nanping Prefecture was due to the resistance of the whole city. As long as they did not resist and surrendered to the imperial court, the soldiers and civilians in the city would be spared death. No chickens or dogs are kept in the whole city, and the money and silk are used by officials and scholars.

The Song Army's announcement caused a sensation. Whether it was Xiping Mansion, Jingzhou, or Huaizhou, they were all in a state of panic, but there was another advantage, that is, officials from various ministries called for the battle.

Without it, when the Northwest War started, the imperial court restricted all ministries from killing without permission. With Wang Yacha's precedent and Wu Jie's permission, who wouldn't want to make a fortune!
At this time, the Song Army launched an operation on the northern periphery of Xiping Mansion, intending to take down Dongguan Town and establish a flank position for attacking Xiping Mansion.

In the lead is the Shengjie army. These arrogant soldiers were originally enthusiastic and wanted to win Dongguan Town to make a fortune, but they did not expect to meet their opponents. When they arrived in Dongguan aggressively, they unexpectedly launched a counterattack.

Kan led two thousand cavalry in a detour, cutting off the back of the Song army, and cooperated with more than seven thousand cavalry with black bone strength to deal a stormy blow to the Shengjie army.

The Shengjie army did not expect the opponent's sharp counterattack. It was still an elite horse army of nearly [-]. It was messed up at the beginning. The whole army retreated.

Even if the chariot soldiers and horse troops tried their best to turn the tide, they could not turn the tide of the battle. Fortunately, the Yunyi army arrived in time, stabilized their position, and blocked the Xia army's more than ten onslaughts. Might last too long.

Gu Lihei saved a little bit of pitiful face. A tactical victory cannot have a huge impact on strategy. Facing the pressure of the two armies, he gathered his troops wisely, and the Xiping Prefecture ruled the city.

When the news reached Xingqing, there was another chaos. Xiping Mansion is only a hundred miles away from Xingqing, and now it is exposed to the Song army, which is really worrying!

When each had their own concerns, Wu Cunli didn't bother to participate in it. At this time, he was standing outside the Palace of Xiuning.

Today, he came to bid farewell to his sister, Wang Shi. They are brothers and sisters who have a very good relationship. Since Wang Shi became the crown princess, and he served in the army, he rarely saw each other, but his relationship was not weak, and he was about to leave soon. , or a battle where life and death are uncertain, it is natural to meet each other.

"Brother, this time is unusual, you have to be more cautious, retreat as much as you can." Wang Shi was very reluctant to let her brother go out of Zhenxingwei City. Although she lives in the harem, she also understands that the Eastern Great Xia is over , the north is being invaded by grassland tribes, and Shengwei City has actually become a barrier to the north of Xingqing, facing the pincer attack of the Song army and the barbarians, and is in an extremely dangerous situation.

How could Wang Cunli not understand, he is more aware of the difficult situation than Wang, and thinks it is the most dangerous disaster in Great Xia. Hungry wolves wanting to share meat, and prairie barbarians are vultures grabbing food, all of which make Daxia in trouble.

Don't look at the viciousness of the Song army in Xiping Mansion. In fact, the most deadly thing should be the northward Shengwei City. Once Shengwei City is captured, it will completely cut off the connection between Xingqing and the important grain production area, and then send troops south. Short of food and medicine Xingqing is the thing to find out.

As for the Jurchen's assistance, others believe that the Jurchens will never give up, but he doesn't think so. The Song Army takes the absolute initiative when the battle is over. Go to war.

The sudden southward movement of the tribes in the grasslands should be some kind of bad signal. Without the Jurchen's release, those barbarians would never have been able to go southward. He wrote a letter two days ago, hoping that Li Renxiao would pay attention, and suggested that he should immediately prepare a retreat, but he was ruthlessly attacked. reject.

However, he was more concerned about the situation of his sister. Li Renxiao was obsessed with the Ren family, and the scandals that came out made him worry a lot. He said softly, "I'm fine, but you should be more careful."
