I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 712

Zhao Xi knew everything Tao Niang had done.

In Zhao Xi's original intention, he really didn't want such a situation to happen.Although he can deal with Gao Zunyu without any scruples, he also knows that this matter will affect his relationship with the Gao family, and even his close relationship with the old Liu's family.

This is also good, so that everyone can respond and prevent beforehand thoroughly.

If counting from the beginning of the war, time has passed for a long time, more than a month has passed.

If it is advanced from Gao Zunyu's department to a dangerous place, it will only take three days for Zhao Xi to see through the joints.

Because the focus has been on how to solve the army's advance and the entanglement with Xixia's offense and defense. Zhao Xi has not worried much about Gao Zunyu's troops who are not the main force on the frontal battlefield.

Originally, Hengshan and Hanhai were natural obstacles for Gao Zunyu's advance, and no one was optimistic about this offensive.

At first, even Zhao Xi thought that the reason why Gao Zunyu's troops advanced was because of the negligence of the Xixia people, relying on Hengshan and Hanhai.

Zhao Xi didn't consider the possibility that the Xixia people did it intentionally until the various armies solved the chariot difficulties and the intensity of the battle was still higher than that of Gao Zunyu's troops.

Later, based on the analysis of the sand table, it was concluded that this was the idea of ​​the Xixia people planning to encircle and wipe out Gao Zunyu's tribe.

In fact, Zhao Xi was really not worried about the encirclement and suppression.

Except for gunpowder, there is no way to break through the defense of the chariot formation, even fire attack is difficult.

Chariots can also carry supplies, and the method of besieging the city without attacking it will not work in the short term.

The only thing that worries Zhao Xi is that the Xixia people are digging up the Yellow River embankment... This is a disaster for the combat method based on chariots.

When the Yellow River broke the dam, it was really easy to hit the chariot with the roaring water.

Moreover, even if the chariot can carry it for a while, those draft horses can't bear it at all.

What's more, the amount of sediment carried by the Yellow River is enough to make the chariot useless.

At that time, the gunpowder, the chariots, the supplies, and the pack horses will be gone, and the only soldiers left may be soaked in the water, let the Xixia people hack and kill... After all, the new army now focuses on Firearms, conventional old-fashioned weapons, carry very little.

What Zhao Xi is not worried about is that there is still time.

Even if Gao Zunyu's troops advanced faster than other routes, if they wanted to reach Xiping Mansion, they still needed to attack the cities and villages one by one.

Because of Hengshan, it is not conducive to the Xixia cavalry, so the area around the north of Huanqing is the area with the most Xixia defense camps.

If the Xixia people have the idea of ​​wiping out Gao Zunyu's troops, they need to play their tricks to the fullest. It is impossible to fully let go, and appropriate resistance is necessary.

As a result, Gao Zunyu's department couldn't advance too fast.

Starting from Killing Niu Ridge, under the condition of sufficient gunpowder, Gao Zunyu's department only advanced a hundred miles in more than a month, and just reached Bole City...

Bole City was laid down, and Gao Zunyu ordered the team to rest in Bole City, waiting for the supplies to follow up.

This time it was a war of annihilation of the country, and the simple orbital soldiers could not satisfy the transportation of armaments of various armies, but the new army's operations were particularly dependent on the materials of armaments.

This time, the imperial court recruited civilian husbands in the Manchu Dynasty, and set up a transfer station according to the official method, but the transfer speed still couldn't keep up with the pace of their team's attack.

"Old man of longevity, let's go after the supplies again. I think we can take down Yaode City in one fell swoop, and then the team will rest and recharge for the attack on Xiping Mansion!"

Gao Zunyu felt a little high-spirited, and even talked to Zhong Yi more kindly than usual.

"Commander, the last general has already chased after him. This time it's not entirely orbital soldiers, civilians are transporting armaments, and gunpowder is involved. It's true that the speed cannot be raised."

Zhong Yi was also a little excited.Although he was also surprised and wondered that what should have been the most difficult road for them turned out to be the fastest road.

Thinking about it instead, the area of ​​Hengshan, where he grew up, really didn't use the method of digging trenches to stop the advance of chariots like other borders.

To be honest, Zhong Yi was somewhat unhappy when he was asked to assist Gao Zunyu at the beginning.

Several armies, any commanders of any route are much more capable than Gao Zunyu, and they are easy to serve.After all, Gao Zunyu is the uncle of the empress...

But Zhong Yi is not ignorant of the overall situation. Among the several deputy commanders, he is the most familiar with the terrain around Huanqing.

But unexpectedly, he thought it was the way of making soy sauce, but so far it has been the most conspicuous.

They have already conquered the city, and other groups are still playing the see-saw game with the Xixia people.

"Marshal, it's also a good thing to take more rest in Bole City. After passing Yaode City, there is a large open land, and there is almost no obstacle to Xiping Mansion."

"The last general thought that in Yaode City, the Xixia people would definitely deploy heavy troops. I am waiting here to cultivate for the great battle of Yaode City, and strive to win Yaode City in one fell swoop. Then Xiping Mansion will be just around the corner!"

Although Yaode City is called a city, it should be called a pass, and Yaode Pass is more appropriate.

Yaode City is the north of Hengshan Mountain, which is connected to the pass of the plain.Defeating Yodok Castle is equivalent to going to the city of Xipingfu...~
Gao Zunyu also felt that what Zhong Yi said made sense.Even if he is in a hurry, he still has to wait for the armaments to arrive!

So, I arranged patrols and guards, told Zhong Yi a few words, and went to the commander's tent to rest.

……

"What is the imperial court's intention? Didn't they let me wait for the armies from all walks of life to make a decision? How can we let the frontal battlefield adjust the strategy because of partiality?"

Gao Zunyu really couldn't understand the strategic adjustment of the court.Seeing that they were about to take down Xiping Mansion, at this time they suddenly turned to the west...

Thanks for getting it!No one can stand it.

"Marshal, the imperial edicts are issued uniformly from Bianliang. It takes a day or two to arrive at our commander's account and Guazhou where Pianshi is located."

"Even if the Commander Zhe of Hehuang receives the order, it will be a few days later than I wait. Commander, in a few days, it may not be impossible for the army to break through Yaode City!"

Some generals suggested this, and this should be the unanimous thought of the entire army.

Didn't you look at the whole headquarters of Wen Zuoshuai, Wen Zuoguan, including those military inspectors, all eyes are bright?

But Zhongyi always feels that something is wrong.

As the captain of the old guard battalion, Zhong Yi followed the official from the age of ten until he entered the guard camp and led the new army. For more than ten years, he was almost inseparable. How could he not understand the official?

Officials are most opposed to pointing fingers at the front line, but they also value strategic planning the most.

They are just an army along the way, and they only know the battle situation of this way, and the reports received by the imperial court from all the teams participating in the battle can understand the overall situation.

For strategic adjustment, only in the imperial court, with the reports of all the battlefields, can there be a basis for adjusting the strategy.

I'm afraid it won't be that simple, but Zhong Yi doesn't think it will happen if it is delayed for a few days.After all, the delay in the edicts of Guazhou and Hengshan is a fact.
