Chapter 653

The stars are flat and wild.

This plain is sandwiched between the Qinling Mountains and the Weishui River. It doesn't look big on the map, but the soldiers of the Song Army stationed here think it is too vast.

Uncomfortably vast.

Relying on their ability to come and go like the wind, the enemy cavalry sent out a small group of loose cavalry to run wildly outside the Song Army's camp, honking dysprosiums and blowing horns, frightening the Song Army and not letting the Song Army soldiers rest.

To the north of the camp is the Weihe River, and the Song army's luggage went down the river, sticking to the army formation.Enemy riders have crossed to the other side of the river, throwing rockets from time to time, scaring the peasants into panic.

This is just the first night of harassment. One can imagine what kind of pressure the pawns will bear if they face the enemy cavalry for a long time?
The most recent example, six years ago, when the Mongolian army attacked Jiading Mansion, Yunding General Lu Da led [-] elite soldiers and [-] rebels to intercept Wang Dechen's fine cavalry on the western Sichuan plain. As a result, the entire [-] Song army was wiped out... This is the plain war.

And in the second year of the battle in western Sichuan, the Mongolian army gathered a large army into Sichuan to attack Dali, and attacked Yunding City together. The army array stretched for dozens of miles.As a result, Kong Xian and Xiao Shixian defended Yunding with only 7000 people... This is a mountain battle.

Tonight, when the troops were stationed in Hirano, many soldiers in the Song army's camp could not fall asleep listening to the sound of dysprosium outside.

But fortunately, 500 of the [-] soldiers were elites brought by Li Xia from Hanzhong.

One thousand of Li Xia's personal guard battalion; two thousand of guarding Tianshui and two thousand of guarding street pavilions were not reorganized, and one thousand were drawn from each; another fifteen hundred elites were combined with Longxi captured soldiers to form 4000 people.

These elites have each experienced the battles of Chengdu, Diaoyucheng, Jianmenguan, Lizhou, and Hanzhong, walked through Qishan Road, and attacked Longxi.

If he waited for a year or two, Li Xia could expand the army of these veterans to 5 to [-], and then train a cavalry in Longxi.

Even now, they dare to fight on foot.

Therefore, it is said that the enemy has to fight with force.

Since the enemy has to fight, how long can they harass and harass?
"Small tricks! So what if you let them quarrel for a night or two?! Those who can fall asleep will sleep, and those who can't sleep will cover their ears!"

Soon, the school generals of the Song Army began to appease morale.

They walked over tent after tent, some calmly, some arrogantly.

"Afraid of a fart?! Menglu dare to kill here? Dare to charge? The commander has already made arrangements, so his mother can rest in peace and defeat the enemy tomorrow!"

"If you really can't sleep, go to set up horses and build defenses..."

"..."

In a tent, Li Zeyi saw Lu Xiaoyou coming in, got up quickly and said: "General Lu, I am very good at riding, I can go out of the camp to shoot and kill two enemy posts, and destroy their prestige."

Lu Xiaoyou was stunned.

He actually couldn't hold back Li Zeyi.

After all, three years ago, he was still an ignorant pawn, and somehow he made so many contributions and became a general.

But Li Zeyi was born in the general family and has been leading the army, so she has to give some opinions every now and then.

A team said to Lu Xiaoyou, "Li Zeyi is not convinced, she is a thorn, and she will be beaten", but Lu Xiaoyou is an honest person, and he does not want to abuse military law for no reason.

"No need." Lu Xiaoyou held on, trying not to be weak, and said: "The commander said, we have to wait for the enemy soldiers to be defeated before riding horses to pursue them."

Every time he used the name of a handsome man.

"Having said that, it's time for the two sides to fight each other." Li Zeyi said: "The reason why the commander didn't give orders is probably because there is no general to command the cavalry."

What he said already meant to target Lu Xiaoyou.

However, Lu Xiaoyou didn't hear it, so he nodded.

"It seems so, but military orders are military orders, and the consequences of violating military orders are very serious..."

Li Zeyi saw that the other party patted her on the shoulder in a pleasant manner, and was speechless for a while.

It's not that he really admires Lu Xiaoyou.

Just afraid of Li Xia.

Lintao reorganized, Li Xia killed a lot of people, not to mention that.

The military law in the army is strict. In just one month, Li Zeyi saw seven or eight people who were beheaded by the military law. ...

But the military salary is still generous, and it is said that it will be paid every month.

Li Zeyi really cared about the military pay.

His family background is not bad, but his father was not born of Li Jie.He used to have money, but the expenses were too high, and his father was seriously ill for many years. In the past two years, Li Tingyu and Li Tingwang died in battle one after another, losing Lizhou, and he lost a lot of business.

Now, his child is still young, and he went home in early April, and accidentally got pregnant with another... As everyone knows, he has a small door next to him, which is far less glamorous than it looks.

In short, what Li Zeyi was dissatisfied with was that Lu Xiaoyou's salary was more generous, and she wanted to pressure the other party's performance, but she didn't dare to pass it, in case she lost her salary and then her life.

As for the current battle, Li Zeyi really thinks she can win.

Every day in the army, they say "the commander in chief has never been defeated", and the ear calluses are starting to rise. If you don't believe it, you have to believe it...

~~
Li Xia inspected the barracks and stepped onto the temporary battle platform.

The battle platform was not too high, because he carried little luggage and did not dare to send people to log too far away.

The reason why the luggage is light is that the Weihe River Valley is not easy to travel.

The road in the Weihe River Valley actually has a name called "Chencang Narrow Road".

Why are there "Chencang Road" and "Chencang Narrow Road"?
Just look at "Historical Records".

When Li Xia first entered Hanzhong, he sent books such as "Three Kingdoms" and "Historical Records" to the generals, because the method of regaining Guanzhong was actually clearly written on them.

When Liu Bang pacified the Three Qin Dynasties, it was far more than "building plank roads in the open and keeping the warehouse in the dark".

At that time, Liu Bang's opponent was Zhang Han, king of Yong, who was entrusted by Xiang Yu in the Western Qin Dynasty.

Zhang Han was not deceived, and the main force was still gathered in Chencang, south of the Weishui River, which meant that the possibility of Liu Bangbing's exit from Chencang was blocked.

Therefore, "Yong's army blocked Chen, called on it, and planned to return it", Liu Bang planned to withdraw his troops.

Just at this time, a counselor named Zhao Yan stood up and said, "follow his way".

This "other way" is the Weihe River Valley.

Liu Bang then sent an elite team down the Weishui River, and suddenly killed Zhang Han behind him. Together with Chen Cangdao's main force, he defeated Zhang Han in one fell swoop.

Therefore, the Weihe River Valley is also called "Chencang Narrow Road".

Li Xia's strategy this time also comes from this name.

After reading this name, and then looking at Hanzhong and Longxi today, we know that the enemy dare not allow him to connect Chencang Road with Chencang Narrow Road.

This is the initiative on the battlefield, and cavalry also has the initiative when fighting on foot!
From this, Li Xia was able to judge the enemy's next move. Since he didn't retreat immediately, he wanted to stop him, and he had to do so as soon as possible.

"If you don't fight tomorrow, you will only lose more and more."

~~
"We can only harass this night again, and we must fight tomorrow."

Looking at the bonfire outside the tent, Liu Heima said so.

Jia Hou asked: "Is it possible to fight an immediate decisive battle between cavalry and infantry? We should first cut off their food roads and grind their morale..."

"How to break the grain road?" Liu Heima asked back: "Can you break the Weishui grain road and the Chencang road? There will be no battle tomorrow, and a few days later in the evening, the Song army will continue to come out of Dashanguan, build fortresses, and launch artillery. How about approaching step by step?"

"Since that's the case, why don't you return to Fengxiang Prefecture and defend the city?"

"That's the siege battle." Liu Heima murmured.

Jia Hou was puzzled and asked, "Is my brother-in-law afraid of defending the city?"

"It's not a question of being afraid or not, but... why bother?"

Jia Hou was stunned, a little confused, but also a little clear.

Liu Heima murmured: "Should guard for one or two years, knowing that Fengxiang mansion can't be defended, why bother to guard? Li Xia invited me to fight to the death, if I'm still afraid of him, why should I guard?"

Jia Hou asked: "Maybe there will be a turning point in a year or two? Your Majesty will return to the south? Song Ting dismissed Li Xia?"

"Father...the Mongolian army attacked and fell. If they didn't surrender, they would slaughter the city. It wasn't until the tyrants from all over the world surrendered to the Mongols that they saved the villagers. Why? The Mongolian army is invincible in this world. You don't need to fight, you can tell at a glance."

Liu Heima said slowly: "But look at these years. It's not just these years, it's been 20 years, Du Gao, Meng Gong, Yu Jie... now there is Li Xia, and I just discovered now that the Mongolian army has been Defeated. Especially, the battle of Lintao. This is my first confrontation with the Mongolian army..."

At this point, he shook his head slightly, looking a little dazed.

Only now did he realize when his heart was lost.

Huntuhai is not as invincible as it seems.

Needless to say, I wanted to invite Li Xia to attack together, but strayed into the enemy's territory, this is just stupid.

Huntuhai was unfavorable at the time?Wang Liangchen was even more disadvantaged, Alan Da'er had already set back Liu Yuanzhen's reinforcements.

Make excuses, both sides have excuses, the fact is that Wang Liangchen is braver than Hundu Hai.

The bravery of the Han army in battle was not inferior to that of the Mongols.

"Meng people are invincible" This idea that has been believed in for a lifetime has been shaken, and Liu Heima is already a little at a loss.

He looked at himself, but still couldn't catch that thought.

In the end, Liu Heima said: "You will know who is strong and who is weak, so why delay?"

With a thought in his mind, Jia Hou understood.

After a battle, whether it is victory or defeat, for the Liu family, the situation is clear.Then why spread the flames of war to your own territory, let the war last for a long time, and destroy your own foundation?

"Then... what does Mr. Lian think? Why does Xu brother-in-law have a decisive battle?"

Liu Heima shook his head and said, "I don't know, but his thoughts are different from mine..."

~~
Before dawn, the trumpet sounded non-stop.

Liu Heima, dressed in majestic battle armor, stepped into the big tent, only to see Lian Xixian sitting there.

The two met the ceremony, but did not speak.

In the end, it was Liu Heima who said: "Mr. Lian, I want to fight Li Xia to the death today. If I win, I will recover Longxi."

Lian Xixian raised his head, and said, "Mr. Liu, please let go and do whatever you want, don't worry..."

~~
"Boom!"

The soldiers ate before dawn, and then they heard the sound of war drums.

Liu Heima stepped onto the high battle platform, looking around, it was still a vast plain.

He gave the order, and with the flying of the command flag, groups of light cavalry circled to the flanks and rear of the Song Army.

The idea of ​​this battle is very simple. The cavalry continued to harass the Song army, looking for flaws, and then divided and surrounded the small Song army.

The horseshoes kicked up dust, and when the sky was bright, Qingqi had bypassed the rear of the Song army, approached the Weihe River, and shot arrows at the baggage by the river.

They are attracting the Song Army to come out to defend and pull the Song Army's front line.

As long as there are soldiers of the Song army chasing them, they will be pulled away a little bit by them, surrounded and killed...

~~
Li Xia raised the binoculars to look, and quickly gave an order.

"Form a long snake array, the right wing goes south!"

The drums sounded, and the school generals kept shouting.

"Shieldman cover! Push the horse!"

"Go south, let's go!"

"Ding ding ding ding..."

Luan Qi rushed to the distance, and the rain of arrows hit, before the Song army could release the arrows, they quickly withdrew.

The soldiers of the Song army seemed to have not seen them, and they were doing their own things.

Like a red tide, they stretch southward from the banks of the Weishui River...

Li Xia's idea is also simple, to seal the Weihe River and Qinling Mountains with troops, and no longer give the enemy cavalry a chance to go around.

Then, move forward, squeeze the range of activities of the enemy cavalry, and facilitate hand-to-hand combat...
