Chapter 607 Battle Situation (1)

Naturally, Liang Yibu, who was far away in Nanmouhui, could not hear Weiming Ami's prayer.

Even if he heard it, he wouldn't be able to stop.

Open the bow without turning back the arrow!

A large-scale military operation mobilized an astronomical number of people, money, food, and livestock.

Now, the army has gathered and Dingkou has been recruited.

You said you won’t fight if you don’t want to fight?

Ha ha!

Believe it or not, someone will cut off Liang Yibu's head with a knife tonight?

By this time, for the party members, the consequences of not taking action were even worse than defeat.

However, at this time, the Meileng family's strength was greatly reduced.

As the army passed by, smoke and dust billowed, stretching for twenty or thirty miles, and cattle, horses and livestock neighed all the way.

The Meileng family thought they would be reused by collectors.

In that battle, the Meileng family was severely damaged and completely fell from the ranks of the most powerful families in Xixia.

They are also the most suitable pioneers - no one knows the geography and landforms of Lanzhou better than them.

However, the position of military commander could only be filled by Ren Duo, who was at the height of his power at that time.

Because I can’t afford any more!
Therefore, there is no one who hopes to regain their family's homeland more than Melendo Bushang.

This victory gave them a reward.

In this process, Melenga played a huge role.

Who would dare to use the man who killed the Lord?
However, when the Liang family counterattacked and killed Wu Zangjia, the Meileng family became valued by the Liang family and became Liang's conspirators and allies, and played a huge role in the process.

Li Xian captured the Western Envoy City, broke into the niche valley, and went down to Huichuan. He went straight to Lanzhou as if he was possessed by the god of war.

Yuan Hao was injured and died, Brother Ning Ling was killed by the Mu Zang family, and the entire Yeli family was uprooted.

Legend has it that it was the Meileng family who stormed into Nanmouhui from Roulang Mountain and killed all the remaining members of the Yeli family.

The sacred place of the Xishou Baotai Supervisory Military Division, which was the basic base, was completely lost.

In other words, all Xishou Baotai's soldiers and horses belong to Gui Renjia.

But the power of the Nori family is still extremely huge.

Melengduo Bushang, riding a war horse, stood at the mouth of the valley and looked at the army passing through the mountain gorge.

Why did the Nishou Houtai Military Division serve as the vanguard?

In this battle, he has spent all his resources - except for the elderly over sixty years old and children under twelve years old, he has sent out all the tribes in Roulang Mountain, with more than 20,000 people and more than 100,000 cattle, horses and livestock. The accompanying army stretched out from Roulang Mountain and headed straight for Dingxi City.

And it is its basic disk!
After losing it, you can only flee back to Tiandu Mountain with your tail between your legs, and return to the original starting point of Roulang Mountain - Yuanhao founded the country, divided the left and right compartments in Tiandu Mountain, ruled the right compartment with Ganglang Ling, and unified the left compartment with Yeliyu Qiyu .

Had it not been for the then Prime Minister Liang Yimi, who missed his old friendship and chose to help Melengdo Bushang, who was only 17 years old at the time, to succeed him as the Supervisor of the Xishou Baotai Supervisory Army.

Liang Yi, the Prime Minister of the country, appointed Meileng Duobu Shang's grandfather as the commander and commander of the Xishou Baotai Army, and granted him full power. He also assigned Lanzhou to the Meileng family.

Even if the army is taken back, there will only be more than 4,000 troops.

Then he slowly pressed towards Song Jing.

After Gang Langling was executed for his disagreement with Yuan Hao, the whole clan was executed, and the Ye Li family became the dominant one. In order to check and balance the Ye Li family, Yuan Hao divided the left and right compartments into sixteen military supervisory departments.

The Meileng family was the Mazai of the Yeli family back then. With the support of the Yeli family, they were able to rise and become the masters of the Nishou Baotai Military Division, but in fact they were just puppets.

But they didn't expect that no one would be able to transfer him back to Xingqing Mansion.

It was not until last year that Renjia was destroyed and Melengduobu Shang finally truly inherited the status of his father and ancestors.

Because the entire Lanzhou area belonged to the Xishou Baotai Military Supervision Department four years ago.

After capturing Lanzhou, he once again marched westward, descended to Tiandu Mountain, captured Nanmouhui, and burned the Xixia palace and treasury built in the Yuanhao era.

However, during the five-pronged expedition to summer, the Meileng family withstood the biggest thunder.

When Ning Lingge, the prince of Yuan Hao, got angry because he was cuckolded by his father, he cut off Yuan Hao's elephant trunk.

The Meileng family rose from this and became a powerful force second only to the Weiming family, Liang family, Renjia family and so on.

Meileng Duobushang, the commander of the Xixia Xishou Baotai Supervisory Army and the commander of the army, was ordered to be the vanguard and led the troops from the northern foot of Roulang Mountain (now Pingchuan District, Baiyin City, Gansu Province).

Therefore, when the agreed time came, Liang Yibu did not wait for the arrival of other messengers from the Military Supervisory Department.

Yeli Yuqi is even known as the King of Tiandu and directly regards Tiandu Mountain as his private property.

After Ndo died in battle alone, Ndo Hōtada succeeded him.

Melendo Bushang's father, uncle and several brothers also died in the battle.

In the eighth month of Renzi (27th), Yu Nanmouhui officially issued a war order.

If Dong Xiang hadn't hesitated and refused to lead his troops to join him, and since the supply of food and fodder was difficult to maintain, the army was at the end of its strength and had to return to the army, he might even have fought as far as Liangzhou!

Therefore, the huge army first gathered in the Hulu River area.

This is a standard nomadic strategy.

No logistics required, no supplies required.

The cattle and sheep are here, there is pasture, there are logistics and supplies.

Dead livestock can be used to eat meat and make soup.

He looked at his army, and then looked at the other side, the other side of the mountains.

Smoke has been lit there.

Wolf smoke billowed into the sky, which meant that he had been discovered.

But it doesn't matter - I can't hide it in the first place.

However, he looked in that direction, in a daze, and asked in a low voice to his left and right, and also to himself: "Is that Fanchuan City?"

Next to him, a veteran in his forties sighed and said: "Major General, that is indeed Fanchuan City!"

"My ancestors were in Fanchuan back then and served under Emperor Jingzong. Emperor Jingzong personally appointed him as an officer of the Xishou Baotai Supervisory Army!" As he spoke, the veteran's eyes rose with a haze: "However, now Nanman is called It’s Huichuan City!”

Melengduo Bushang naturally knows this.

However, every time he heard other people talk about these things, he always had the feeling that his wife had been snatched away, renamed, and used as a concubine to abuse and use at will.

And his wife is the niece of the old Prime Minister. She is virtuous, beautiful, gentle and considerate. They have been married for seven or eight years and are extremely loving.

Therefore, Meileng Dobushang clenched his fists: "Fanchuan, I will restore it!"

He vowed to take the city back and restore it to its original state.

But now, he needs to pass the first level - Dingxi City!

So he rode his horse downhill, taking his bodyguard with him, and galloped forward.

He couldn't wait to see the walls of the city in his dream immediately.

His family's pastureland - Xicheng.

Now, the name of this city is: Dingxi City.

The so-called Ding Xicheng means pacifying Xicheng City!
Still a desecrated city!
What made him even more uncomfortable was that Nanman had no idea how to treat such a sacred land.

They actually grow wheat locally!

What a waste! What a waste!
Don't the emperors and ministers of the Southern Barbarians know how to read their history books?
Can they take a look at the origin of the name Xishi City? ?
Every time I think about this, Meileng Dobushang feels extremely uncomfortable!

There is always a feeling that my beloved wife is being suppressed and ravaged by a vulgar man who does not understand elegance.

West Ambassador City! West Ambassador City!
Please read the Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty!

The imperial servant of the Tang Dynasty established fifty-eight horse-herding prisons in the world, with the names of four prisons and two envoys.
Among them, the four prison numbers are the southeast, northwest and other envoys.

In the land of Longyou, three supervisors were set up to raise horses.

Later, when Tibet invaded, these good lands for raising horses were lost.

Although it is said that Xishi City is not to the west of Weizhou, but to the east.

But can you have some research spirit?

Is there a possibility that it is called Xishi City now because it was renamed after being occupied by Tibet, but in the Tang Dynasty it was called Dongshi City?
Even if you don’t read the Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty, can you take a look at the local geography, landforms and land conditions?
It is obviously a place where you can grow pasture and raise war horses, and it is an extremely good horse breeding land.

Who asked you to grow wheat?

With such resentment, Meileng Duobu Shang rushed to Dingxi City.

It only took two days for the vanguard to appear at the foot of Dingxi City.

At this time, countless warning signs have been raised throughout the Lanzhou and Huizhou areas.

Not only that, along the entire Song-Xia border, thousands of miles away, there was smoke everywhere. …

With a gloomy face, Drago Jueweiming climbed up a mountain and looked at the shadowy figure of the Song Army cavalry on the top of a valley dozens of miles away.

"These damn Nanman!" His anger had reached its peak! He almost gritted his teeth and stared angrily: "Do you still have any eggs? Do you dare to fight head-on with my warriors from Dabai Gao Kingdom?"

In the past few days, the soldiers and horses of Youzhou under his command encountered a tactic that made them uncomfortable and unable to adapt to the Song army's fortification areas in Dashun City and its surrounding areas.

The Nanman fortification area with Dashun City as the core has now become a flesh and blood mill.

But not from Nanban.

It was a unilateral flesh-and-blood mill run by the Yuzhou Military Supervisory Department.

The Nanman army used an extremely despicable and shameless tactic.

They seemed to divide the army into two parts.

The infantry defended the city, but the gates of all the forts were not completely closed, but were left ajar. Except at night, there was always a narrow passage for the cavalry to enter and exit.

In addition, the southern barbarian defenders did not completely clear the country.

They only took away property, food, etc., but did not set fire to the houses or poison the wells.

At first, Zhuaijueweiming was ecstatic.

Thinking that the Nanman had really lost their minds, they even fantasized about capturing Dashun City within three days, taking over this fortified area that had been a headache for Dabai Gaoguo for decades, and then triumphantly returning to Xingqing Mansion, and severely exposing themselves. Face!

However, what he didn't expect was that this was the beginning of a nightmare!
Because, when his army approached Dashun City, they were preparing to launch a siege.

Behind the butt, countless Nanman Rangers appeared.

These cavalry can range from a few dozen to a team of three to five hundred.

They relied on the various fortresses in the fortification area of ​​Dashun City to appear and disappear.

Want to besiege a city and build siege equipment?
Should we send people to cut down trees and carry stones from the mountains?

Send, then be prepared to be attacked by cavalry!
Therefore, he had to send people to protect the young men, women and children who were cutting down trees, transporting soil, and quarrying stones.

However, this falls right into their trap.

The Nanman generals would occupy high points in river valleys and hills to observe the situation from a high position.

Once it is discovered that he is sending troops, the originally scattered cavalry will immediately gather together under the command of the flag.

They did not fight against the famous soldiers and horses.

Just far away, hanging in the distance.

If they find an opportunity, they will attack hard. If there is no opportunity, they will just watch on the spot.

It's like watching a play. People who watch it feel numb and their hearts are frightened.

Lajue Weiming has thought of countless ways.

Including but not limited to, pretending to withdraw troops, deliberately sending unprotected young men to lure the southern barbarians into a pre-set ambush circle, and concentrating cavalry to hunt down and kill the southern barbarian cavalry.

However, he pretended to withdraw his troops, and the Nanman only looked at him.

Hanging from a distance, keeping a safe distance.

The Southern Barbarian cavalry did pass by the young men, women and children sent out without protection.

However, these cavalrymen never pursue fleeing people.

They are very satisfied with the military achievements they have obtained.

As for concentrating the cavalry, hunting, chasing, and forcing the Southern Barbarian cavalry to fight decisively?

They don't want to fight against the elites of Dabai Gaoguo!

He didn't even have the interest to shoot an arrow from a distance, and ran away when he saw the large cavalry of Dabai Gaoguo.

And he ran directly towards the nearest fortresses!

It was only then that Tuo Juewei Ming suddenly discovered why Nanman's strongholds had to open a narrow passage for a cavalry to enter and exit during the day.

Because this is the door left for those wanderers.

When people are in danger, they can run into a strong fortress and rely on the strong city to fight against the elite cavalry of the Dabai Gao Kingdom.

However, there is only one end for the cavalry to charge into the fortified city, and that is: seeking death!

So, things became what they are now.

On the battlefield with a radius of dozens of miles with Dashun City as the core, he poured out tens of thousands of troops, but so far they have not completed preparations for siege, let alone siege.

It's not like he hasn't tried before, trying to completely surround a certain fortress with his army.

But as long as he does.

Then, the Nanman cavalry will appear behind him.

While his main force was besieging the city in the front, he unlimitedly harassed his women, children, and livestock in the rear.

Although the damage caused each time is not much.

However, they were buzzing around him like flies.

So annoying!

He was forced to use the army to drive away those annoying cavalry.

And the purpose of these southern barbarian cavalry seems to be this.

As long as he sends troops to drive them away, he will retreat immediately.

At the same time, cavalry from other Nanman strongholds that were not surrounded would also run out and circle around his flanks to harass and assault him.

His army was never able to attack the city with all its strength, and could only devote its energy to driving away those pesky cavalry.

As a result, under the fortified city, the young men who attacked the city died one after another.

And because the defenders could always see the reinforcements, they didn't panic at all!
This kind of tactics is like his nemesis.

He racked his brains and couldn't think of a way to break the situation.

As a result, the entire battlefield became a flesh and blood mill, a flesh and blood mill that belonged exclusively to him and his army.

Every day, there were hundreds of casualties, but it was impossible to capture even a village defended by only a few hundred people.

Of course, it’s not impossible to conquer.

But if we want to attack by force, the price we have to pay is unacceptable.

To use thousands of casualties to attack a Nanman stronghold that only took a few hundred people and half a year to build?
Moreover, they had to take the risk that the southern barbarian cavalry might cut off the food route at any time.

Drag Juewei Ming is not crazy yet!

It was also at this time that Lao Juewei Ming finally saw clearly the tactics of his opponent.

The Dashun City fortification area in front of him was no longer a dead thing.

But the thorns of activity.

Relying on the strong city fortress, the Southern Barbarian cavalry can attack everywhere, and can also return to the city for repairs at any time.

When the horse is tired, change the horse; when the man is tired, change the person.

Their activities are like sharp thorns, they can kill you, but if they prick you once, they will break the skin or bleed.

If you continue like this, you will know what your fate will be like.

The best luck would have to be here, leaving thousands of corpses behind.

The other party's losses may be less than one-tenth of his.

And once you are unlucky, you will be consumed by them like this.

Put it off until winter, when it starts to snow.

Then his army will be forced to withdraw due to hunger and cold.

Once the troops withdraw, the opponent will pursue them one after another.

If there is no elite army to respond and cut off the rear.

Then everyone must confess here, in this valley and mountains soaked in flesh and blood.

How to do it?

After thinking about it for a long time, there was only one way.

"Come here!" He called to the people around him: "I want to write a letter to the Nanman Dashun City Guards!"

"I want to fight with him!"

If you have the ability, don't hide in the fortified city. Let's choose a place and a time to fight openly and openly!
Please don't engage in these petty thefts, okay?
