Text Chapter 389: What a paper war

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Liuzhu Bodhisattva separated his troops from Xie Xiqiao, he once asked the Liuzhou deputy general a heart-wrenching question.

    Aren¡¯t you afraid that you and I defended the two towns of Linyao and Fengxiang, but Qingcang City fell because the 20,000 monk soldiers failed to rush to the Liuzhou battlefield in time?

    Xie Xiqiao¡¯s answer at that time was very interesting: With Jianghuai¡¯s presence, it would be impossible.

    The Beiliang frontier army has always had the habit of being xenophobic. The infantry deputy commander Gu Dazu had already won a very high reputation in the Spring and Autumn War. However, outside the Liangzhou Pass, it never reached the height it should have. It was obvious that he had the support of the young vassal king behind him.  It can change that embarrassing situation.  Zhou Kang, the golden partridge, once fell out with him on the spot in Chongzuka Military Town.  For example, if Chen Yunchui, who is also the deputy commander of the infantry army, has something to discuss with the left and right cavalry troops in Liangzhou, or if he needs to second people, he may not need to come in person at all, just a letter, or even go out of his way to poach the cavalry troops.  , from Yuan Zuozong to He Zhonghu and Zhou Kang, I am afraid that everyone would endure it, and at most they would laugh and curse a few times when they met to discuss matters, but when it was Gu Dazu's turn, even if he was a veteran of the Spring and Autumn Period who could firmly occupy a place in the history of military strategists, it was even more  The master of the art of war, known as the originator of world situation theory, would never receive such treatment in the Beiliang border army.

    Not only Gu Dazu, but the younger generation Yu Luandao was also in a difficult situation at first, so he could only go from Liuzhou to Youzhou, which was regarded as a cavalry general, instead of riding directly to Liangzhou to climb up. You must know that in Youzhou  Before the cavalry fought the series of battles outside Hulukou, the Youzhou cavalry had always been ridiculed as the embroidered cavalry by the superior Liangzhou cavalry. They secretly joked that they were the daughter of the old commander Yan Wenluan.  .

    Then come to the Liuzhou general Kou Jianghuai who is a neighbor of the Longxiang Army. After the first Liangmang battle, the Longxiang Army needs to replenish its troops, whether it is He Zhonghu or Zhou Kang, even if it is a young cavalryman with no border experience  Cao Wei wanted soldiers and generals. Although there were complaints among the Liangzhou border cavalry, they all complied with the wishes of the young vassal king in the end. Only Kou Jianghuai, who had the official title of Yizhou General, although the entire Beiliang officialdom knew it.  Ming, this person is an unparalleled military genius who has made outstanding achievements in Guangling Road. In the end, most of the soldiers and horses under his direct line are only young and strong refugees. It is said that he finally managed to assemble a cavalry army of ten thousand people during the Kou Jianghuai.  Later, neither the Xianli Ranch nor the Tianjing Ranch in Lianglong were willing to hand over their high-quality war horses. It was only because of the stern military order from the young feudal lord from Qingliang Mountain that they did not deal with it with shoddy goods.

    Kou Jianghuai was like this. In fact, Xie Xijie, who was also one of the two heroes of Chu, was not much better. Before he was temporarily promoted to the deputy general of Liuzhou from the third-rank official position, he cooperated with Cao Wei's elite cavalry to rush to Miyun Pass. His cavalry at that time came from  Most of them are the cavalry troops from Fengxiang and Linyao towns who were born as horse thieves in the Western Regions. In addition, there are two to three thousand cavalry troops recruited by Chai Dongdi and Han Wenbao. This kind of miscellaneous troops may not even be looked down upon by the Youzhou cavalry troops, who are looked down upon by the Liangzhou border cavalry.  Everyone looks down upon them.

    Whether this deep-rooted habit can be changed has a certain relationship with the personal prestige of the new Liang King, but the relationship is definitely not so big that it can change overnight.

    And the young feudal lord seems to have almost arrogant confidence in this.

    In fact, neither Yu Luandao, who had been promoted to the second deputy commander of the Zuo Cavalry Army by He Zhonghu, nor the Liuzhou general Kou Jianghuai, who was not so worthy of his reputation, never let Beiliang down.

    This is especially true for Xie Xijie, who has helped Cao Wei win the battle of Miyun Pass.

    Before Fengxiang Military Town led troops to settle in Xiexi Frontier, there were already two thousand soldiers and horses guarding the city, half of them were young refugees and Youzhou infantry. Compared with the low walls of Qingcang City, the Dafeng Dynasty was obviously more  Focusing on Fengxiang Military Town, which can immediately reinforce the Western Regions Protectorate, the city wall is set to be the same size as the Central Plains County. Compared with the two ancient towns of Qingcang and Linyao, the Zhongda Feng Dynasty was the same as the commander of the other two towns.  Fengxiang, who had a high rank and salary, had more than 200 subordinate officials who were able to wear the Great Feng Seal Ribbon, far more than the 120 people in Linyao Qingcang.  Once the Western Region Protectorate further west cannot control the more than 40 countries within its jurisdiction, whenever there is a war, the defeated and fleeing Western Region nobles must pass through Fengxiang Military Town, and then choose to enter the Central Plains from Old Northern Liang, or just go there.  Turn southeast and seek refuge in Shuzhao.

    Therefore, the history of Fengxiang Military Town, just like its city walls, is thicker than Qingcang Linyao.

    If there were no 10,000 monk soldiers from Xiexi Frontier as the backbone, Fengxiang Military Town would face the siege of 10,000 Southern Dynasty infantrymen, as well as the 3,000 cavalry troops outside the city who were waiting for an opportunity.  If more corpses of Beimang barbarians are brought down, Fengxiang will still be destined to fall. Beiliang can only give up this strategic point covering less than half of the Western Region. Maybe Liuzhou will be defeated by the Western Front Army of Huang Song Pubu, Fengxiang Linyao's  Gains and losses are not of much significance, but as long as the balance of power between the two sides remains in a stalemate, whoever controls the two towns will very likely change the situation of the battle. One side needs to provide a rear area for the two cavalry armies of Yu Luandao and Cao Wei, and the other side can use  This was the time when Gusai Prefecture gathered troops and horses to vigorously reinforce Huang Songpu.  ?Especially if the Liuzhou cavalry is lucky enough to win a big victory and still has the strength to break through the border defense lines of the Southern Dynasties and march north to Gusai Prefecture, then Beiliang will lose two towns, which can even be said to be a fatal mistake.

    The 10,000 Nan Dynasty infantrymen who attacked the city could be said to be fearless in death. However, because it was a surprise attack with a sure chance of victory, they did not carry a large amount of baggage, food, grass, and siege equipment that would slow down the advance. Therefore, even if they were defeated by Beimang  The infantrymen who believed that their siege power was not inferior to that of the Beiliang Youzhou infantry and Liyang Jinan infantry fought very hard. Although during the exchange of infantry and bow fire, the infantrymen under the city who had no geographical advantage at all still fought hard.  Showing amazing accuracy, many of the refugees were young and strong, participating in the war for the first time. Even if they were reminded in advance not to show their heads and wait and see between the two rounds of arrows, many corpses could only be dragged down the horse trail.  Under the premise that Xie Xiqiao did not use the monk soldiers of Mount Landuo as much as possible, groups of daredevils armed with shields and swords in their mouths attacked the city several times, and were then fought back by Youzhou infantry and young refugees.  .

    From midnight to dusk, Buba soldiers paid nearly 2,000 lives, and most of them died on the top of the city and were thrown off the top of the city.

    During this period, Xie Xiqiao only asked everyone's strong and powerful monk soldiers to participate in the defense twice, only twice.

    Night fighting is naturally not conducive to the siege party. The Buba soldiers gave up after trying to siege the city once.

    It has been attacked by the city many times, but it cannot be broken. Just like the master of the rivers and lakes, it can break the realm only one line, and naturally it will not give up.

    The next day was destined to be an even more brutal offensive and defensive battle.

    The defenders of the city were extremely silent.

    Everyone looked at the monks and soldiers of Mount Landa, especially the expressionless young general, with sadness and anger in their eyes.

    It¡¯s not that they are afraid of death, but as long as the young man named Xie is willing to send a thousand people to the front line of the city, they can save many lives.

    Even if there are only five hundred people!

    So in the early morning of the next day, the Beimang barbarians blew the siege horn, and a general who left the Youzhou Infantry Army to serve as the guard general of the Fengxiang Army said a word to Xie Xijie, who had been exiled yesterday.  The middle-aged man who was shot through the shoulder drew his sword and rushed to the battlefield again.

    He said those words with a smile.

    "General Xie, just relax, you can sit on the top of the city with a bench and wait and see how our Beiliang frontier army retreats from the enemy!"

    In the Liyang army in the Central Plains, whether you are a lieutenant or a general with a miscellaneous title, you may be praised by others and become a general.

    But in Northern Liang, only the old Liang king Xu Xiao could hold this honor. The mounted troops Yuan Zuozong and Yan Wenluan could not, nor could the old and new Northern Liang guardians Chen Zhibao and Chu Lushan.

    Except for the Youzhou cavalry who once fought side by side outside the pass, Xinliang King Xu Fengnian is still rarely addressed as a general, more often just as a prince.

    Therefore, Xie Xiqiao was given the honorific title of General with his surname.

    It¡¯s definitely not a good intention.

    As the deputy general of Liuzhou and the general directly under the jurisdiction of Fengxiang and Linyao Town, Xie Xiqiao seemed to be completely indifferent to this offense. His face was as dark as water as he watched the military general strode away.

    Throughout the day, Buba soldiers appeared in a foreign land with more than two thousand lonely ghosts.

    After discussing with the cavalry general, the commander of the 10,000 foot soldiers began to withdraw his troops.

    Of the two thousand foot soldiers guarding the city at Beiliang Border Gate, only 600 were left.

    After the city guard general who almost died in the battle was dragged down the dismounting path by a monk soldier, he vomited a mouthful of blood and yelled in the direction of the Liuzhou deputy general: "Fuck your mother Xie Xique!"

    There are six hundred people left, excluding less than a hundred old soldiers from Youzhou, the rest are all young and strong refugees.

    Both sides were full of hatred for the young man who was motionless from beginning to end.

    When Beimang is about to retreat,

    Xie Xijiao had already ordered: "The monk soldiers will follow me out of the city, no matter the cost, we will keep them entangled for at least three hours."

    This kind of behavior of standing by and watching during the war but taking credit after the war has not been seen once in the past 20 years in Beiliang Border Border, where military law is a mountain.

    Xie Xiqiao didn¡¯t explain a word.

    The middle-aged monk from Mount Landuo who rescued the general who was guarding the city hesitated for a moment when following Xie Xijie down the city, and finally asked: "General Xie, do you want to inform the Linyao military town? Along with that  Are you going to eat them all together?"

    This warrior monk is also a top figure in Landa Mountain. He is very outstanding in both Buddhism and cultivation.

    "One method is applicable to all methods."

    Through the secret words of the female Bodhisattva before leaving, he had learned that Yu Luan Dao's cavalry would make an emergency U-turn to cooperate with them in intercepting the infantry.

    But for some unknown reason, Xie Xiqiao shook his head and said, "No??.  "

    The monk was puzzled, but he didn¡¯t say much.

    After all, Xie Xijie is the commander-in-chief.

    The middle-aged monk has personally experienced the horror of Northern Liang's military discipline.

    No matter how dissatisfied the two thousand defenders of the city were, no matter how close Xie Xiqiao stood and watched, everyone still died generously!

    He was just full of suspicion. He had only heard of military commanders on the battlefield since ancient times. Except for a small group of people in history who were afraid of their own merits and might shake their masters, there were only those who despised the lack of merits in battle. This young man named Xie was quite weird.

    After Xie Xiqiao led the monk soldiers out of the city, he turned his head and looked at the barren city top of Fengxiang Army Town and murmured to himself.

    "Refugees are refugees, people are in exile, people are in exileMr. Li, he is so ruthless in his military use, and so amazing in his military useTwenty years ago, a war on paper was still better than our vigorous fighting today."
