Online game of Jinyiwei

Chapter 2468
The reason why the Northwest army did not attack after gaining the advantage was mainly to put pressure on the Xixia army. Although the Xixia army has basically lost the possibility of breaking through JYG, the Xixia army still has combat effectiveness. After all, it has been prepared for so long Time, the army is all veterans who have experienced many battles.

During the Warring States Period, it was said that the king of Qi said: "The way to conquer a country is to attack the heart and attack the city. .”

Xixia is different from Tubo. Tubo is vast and sparsely populated, and the people are bound by feudal lordship. As long as the ruling class is eliminated, the resistance of ordinary people is not too strong. For most of the bottom slave class, it is just a change of master. Forget it, even the Central Plains is taking down Tubo, promoting the system of the Central Plains dynasty, and opening up channels for class advancement. Many people still welcome the Central Plains rule very much.

But Xixia is different. Xixia's state system and governance method are deeply influenced by the political culture of the Central Plains.Since the founding of the Xixia state, successive Xixia rulers have actively studied and imitated the Central Plains dynasty and established official systems.

Potentially set up middle officials, who are different from the Qiang people, Quyan Confucian scholars, and gradually follow the style of the Central Plains.The big chariot Fangyu, the halogen Bo Yiwei, are just like the Central Plains system.They are all manifestations of Xixia's imitation of the Central Plains. Since the founding of the country, Xixia has imitated the Central Plains to establish a set of official systems. Group Animal Husbandry Division, Feilongyuan, Grinding Division, Wensiyuan and other institutions.

It can be said that the system of the Xixia Dynasty basically copied the Central Plains. The system of the Central Plains does not have a great sense of superiority, and people are relatively open-minded. They are not as easy to fool as Tubo. , wanting to attack Xixia is not as simple as Tubo.

If the Northwest army invades Xixia immediately after gaining an advantage, it is likely to fall into the quagmire of war, which will inevitably cause great casualties to the Northwest army. In order to avoid this situation and disintegrate the resistance of the Xixia people, the Central Plains The army decided to adopt a plan of attacking the mind first.

The first step is to destroy the enemy's resistance as much as possible. In addition to sending Jinyiwei and other organizations, they began to publicize the image of the Central Plains Dynasty's benevolent and righteous teacher in the Western Xia Dynasty. The illusion of invincibility.

For this reason, although the Northwest Army did not attack directly, they sent artillery every day to attack the Xixia camp. This Xixia soldier had a great impact. The army has reached a point of great fear!

For many days in a row, the Northwest Army was only attacked by artillery, but it dealt a huge blow to the morale of the Xixia Army. The commander of the Xixia Army thought a lot, wanted to restore the confidence of the soldiers, and even sent elites to do so. , to cheer up people's hearts.

It's a pity that the army of the Central Plains has already made complete preparations. The artillery unit was protected by Chenchen. The Xixia people sent elite sneak attacks several times, but they failed.

Faced with this situation, the commander of the Xixia army, who tried his best, had to send another letter for help, hoping that the Xixia court would come up with countermeasures as soon as possible, otherwise, let alone breaking JYG, the entire Xixia army might collapse.

The domestic Ren Dejing rebels are still confronting the peaceful rebel army, and the frontline main battlefield has lost consecutively. The Xixia court has almost been cornered.But the Xixia court has yet to make a decision.

A few days later, a unit of the Northwest Army, armed with artillery, secretly bypassed the Xixia camp and went straight to several fortresses at the Xixia border.

Several frontier fortresses in Xixia were built to defend against the Central Plains. They are very strong and solid. However, after Xixia launched an attack, the status of these fortresses is not so important. After all, in Xixia’s initial plan, after the army broke Jin JYG , the front line will be completely pushed to the Central Plains, and the several fortresses have all become fortresses in their own country, and their importance has naturally dropped a lot.

Naturally, this kind of people couldn't be stopped. With the cooperation of Jinyiwei masters and the Central Plains surprise attack force equipped with artillery, several fortresses were quickly breached by the Northwest Dynasty of the Central Plains.After the Xixia army received the news, they suddenly discovered that their retreat was cut off!

The Xixia army panicked now, and if they don’t think of a way, they will be wiped out. At this time, Xixia’s country also began to appear, accusing the Xixia court of launching a war, wasting people’s money, and losing the battlefield. Domestic instability forced Xixia to finally do it. It was decided that the army would withdraw to the country.

It is not easy to make this decision, which also indicates that Xixia basically gave up the plan to attack the Central Plains.

However, this decision was made too late. At this time, the army of Xixia had been cut off from the rear, facing hundreds of thousands of troops from the Northwest. It can be said that there are wolves in front and tigers in back.

After receiving the order, the Xixia army also thought about retreating immediately, but they just planned to retreat.The Northwest army, which had been attacking for several days, immediately launched a counterattack against the Xixia army.

Passive defense, the northwest army, which has been suffocated for so long, is extremely fierce when it launches a counterattack.In fact, at this time, the Northwest Army did not receive much support from soldiers. In terms of numbers, the Xixia Army still had the upper hand.

But what is different from the past is that the Xixia army no longer has the fanatical fighting spirit of the past. It has been attacked by the Northwest army for several months.

The Xixia army took the initiative to attack, trying to break out of the siege, but facing the artillery of the Central Plains army, after losing tens of thousands of people, they failed to break through the blockade of the Northwest Army.

Knowing that the army was dragged down and unable to retreat at all, the Xixia court was completely panicked. The Xixia court knew very well that if this army could not return to Xixia, then Xixia would be in danger.This army can be said to be Xixia's hope. If this army cannot be kept, Xixia may not be able to deal with it even if it is re-elected.

As a last resort, Xixia simply sent the anti-insurgency army to the border area, hoping to use this army to recapture the frontier fortress that was strategically placed by the Northwest Army, open up the retreat route for the Xixia army, and cover the Xixia army to retreat smoothly. .

Ren Dejing was overjoyed when he heard about this situation, and even started to swell again, ordering his subordinates to take back Xiazhou and Yanzhou.
