Myth analysis, I know the plot and I am invincible
Chapter 50 Preparation
Black clouds are pressing down on the city to destroy it...
As the Xixia army arrived and set up their formation, Weizhou entered an unprecedented high level of tension.
Whether it's the army or the people, the air seems to be trembling.
Feeling the atmosphere in Weizhou City, Li Su's eyelids jumped.
Oh no, no? No way?
The war hasn't even started yet, and you're so nervous? If a war is really about to begin, will these guys still have the strength?
To be honest, there are about 15,000 troops in Weizhou City now and 80,000 residents in the city.
And Weizhou City is not a small city. As a windshield for Jingzhao Mansion, it was built very large. The height of the city wall alone is more than two feet, and the ditch is close to three feet.
Don't think that three feet is too low. In the Song Dynasty, one foot was a little more than three meters, and three feet was nine meters.
Nine meters, equivalent to a three-story bungalow.
In Xixia, where the average person is less than 1.7 meters tall, it takes seven people stepping on their shoulders to touch the wall rock.
In this kind of siege battle, even if the Song Dynasty's army has low combat power, it can still achieve a one to three ratio.
If Xixia wants to invade, they must have at least 100,000 troops. Just to have the slightest possibility, it will take a long time, even after the city is short of food.
In other words, under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for Xixia to capture Weizhou City.
But looking at the atmosphere in Weizhou City at the moment, Li Su felt a little numb and frightened.
But, not bad!
In the eyes of the people of the Song Dynasty, the Xixia army was very cruel. After all, it was not a big country with only so many people, so fighting relied on brutality.
The so-called success is cruel, and failure is cruel.
Almost the Song Dynasty will not surrender. It's not that they can't, but that they don't dare.
Because once the Xixia soldiers won, they would not accept surrender and would only massacre the city.
Therefore, even though they were very frightened in their hearts, the soldiers and civilians were very persistent in their thoughts and wanted to block it, no matter what.
*******
At this moment, Xixia Camp.
The leader was Wu Zang Shiba, the son of Wu Zang Pang, the brother of the favorite concubine of Xixia lord Li Yuanhao, and a powerful relative.
He frowned, his expression gloomy.
He had no intention of attacking the city.
But he didn't expect Yipintang to let him attack the city.
Yipintang, a special department established by His Majesty Li Yuanhao himself, has a small number of people and extremely strong personal strength, and is best at infiltration and beheading.
Because it only belongs to Li Yuanhao, Wu Zangshiba has no right to intervene.
Originally, the two parties did not interfere with each other, but they did not expect that the other party suddenly brought Li Yuanhao's imperial order.
As a general of an army, he was very aware of the difficulty of Weizhou City. With the troops he brought, it was absolutely impossible to conquer Weizhou. There were not enough people and not enough time.
Originally, when he came to the city, he was just showing off to make Kaifeng of the Song Dynasty feel threatened.
Weizhou is only one city away from Jingzhao Prefecture, and Jingzhao Prefecture is only one land away from Kaifeng.
With the timid nature of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, although it was a bit regretful that he did not reach Jingzhao Mansion, once he got here, the strategy was sufficient.
The subsequent negotiations were very beneficial to Xixia.
So when he came to Weizhou, he actually started thinking about retreat.
After thinking about the current situation of the Song Dynasty for a while, Wu Zangshi looked at the 1.23-meter-tall masked man holding the imperial order and said: "We can attack the city, but it can take up to two days. If we can't defeat it in two days, I It will move the troops."
"It doesn't take that long, just once. Yipintang will cooperate with the soldiers to attack the city and find opportunities to break through the city wall and open the city gate."
Wu Zangshi's expression changed, and Yipintang also dispatched to directly participate in the war?
Although he has not met them a few times, he also knows the skills and strength of the people in Yipintang. If they serve as the vanguard of the death squads, Weizhou may really have a chance.
One hundred percent don't even think about it.
There are also masters from the Xixia Yipintang side in the Song Dynasty. Although they are not under the command of the imperial court, basically whenever there is a war, they will appear. This time it seems that it is also because of the group of masters who passed the news, otherwise the Song Dynasty would not be able to Reacting so quickly would only make the previous battle easier.
As a result, although almost 10,000 Song troops were killed, their own losses were not small, less than 800 were killed and more than 1,000 were injured.
Fortunately, the leader of the army was stupid enough and chose to break out instead of holding on after falling into the trap. Otherwise, instead of two thousand casualties, there would have been more than two thousand casualties alone.
Mizo nodded and said: "I will have people prepare siege equipment. I will launch an offensive tomorrow at Shenshi. I will launch an attack on the west and south gates at the same time, with the west gate as the main one. At the same time, I will prepare a team of 5,000 people. The North Gate will launch an offensive in the early days of Xu. You will also send people to cooperate in the attack. At the second quarter of Xu, I will send the night war department to launch an attack on the east gate and organize three thousand cavalry to wait outside."
The eyes of the short figure moved. He had to say that he looked down upon the person in front of him because of his own strength. He was weak and not worth mentioning, but there was something commendable about his military strategy.
If you attack two gates, the defense of the other two gates will naturally be reduced, but the opponent's general will also be on guard and sneak attack from the other two gates.
When Xu Chu attacks the north gate, the opponent will definitely think that this time is the real target. Once they go all out to defend, they will relax mentally. A sudden attack on the east gate would undoubtedly be caught off guard.
The east gate is behind the Xixia military formation. It is a position of surrounding three and leaving one behind. Under normal circumstances, no attack will be launched here. Therefore, most civilians in the city gather here and retreat if they cannot hold it.
"Okay, I will send someone to cooperate with you!"
*******
Inside Weizhou City.
Wang Yan frowned, and as time passed, his expression became more solemn and puzzled.
Just now, the guards came with news that the Xixia army was cutting down wood. This behavior undoubtedly shocked him greatly.
Siege?
What is Xixia thinking?
Could it be that they thought they could break in?
Even if the Song Dynasty's military strength is very weak, Xixia will suffer terrible losses of three to one in a plain battle.
But in city battles and street battles, in a big city like Weizhou, the battle damage will be directly reversed. As for street battles, the minimum is one to two.
If we really want to start a war, what if it ends?
How much can the Xixia soldiers save by coming? There are only 30,000 people, so there should be no city war at all.
But unfortunately, the other party did it.
The felling of wood was obviously in preparation for the siege.
He is not Ge Huaimin, he has quite a lot of experience. As long as he guards the city, it is absolutely impossible for Weizhou City to be broken within a month.
And obviously it doesn't take a month, but at most five days, the Song army can arrive...
Planning to take things by surprise? Or is there a way to directly attack the city from the front?
His eyes narrowed slightly, Wang Yan was not stupid, and he considered many possibilities in an instant.
"Somebody come!"
"exist."
"Have someone ask Master Tianming to come over. I suspect that during the Xixia siege, people from Xixia Yipintang may be among them."
