In the front camp of the Xia Army, in Li Wu's Chinese army tent, a group of generals were divided into two sides; Li Wu said to everyone: "This king has just received a report, three days later, the Song army will have a large number of baggage transported to Shangnan City, a total of 300,000 stones, grain and grass, and a large number of military equipment, if Wang Kai gets this batch of materials, let it be a problem to work with us for a month, this battle is not short, although the Song army has suffered heavy losses, but our army's losses are not small; Therefore, this batch of baggage cannot fall into Wang Kai's hands no matter what, and this batch of baggage is not only important to Wang Kai, but also important to us, our 200,000 troops consume a huge amount every day, with this batch of things, a few of us can also solve the supply of grain and grass for more than half a month.
"What the prince means is that we will intercept this batch of baggage," one of the generals asked.
"That's what the king meant."
"Lord Wang, I'm afraid this is not easy to do, so many baggage, the Song army must be escorted with heavy troops, and at the same time, Wang Kai will also send troops to greet him, if you want to intercept this batch of baggage, you must invest in a small number of 10,000 troops, and such a large-scale operation cannot be hidden from Wang Kai's eyes."
"This king, I didn't think about hiding from Wang Kai's eyes."
A fierce glint flashed in Li Wu's eyes and he said; "This time the king will not only intercept this batch of grain and grass, but also destroy Wang Kai's army together," Li Wu then told everyone about his battle plan.
The Xia army immediately took action and deployed according to Li Wu's battle plan, and at the same time Li Wu reported his battle plan to Li Liangzuo of Ziwei Palace, and asked Li Liangzuo for instructions in the hope of transferring a cavalry to help, and now there is only one cavalry formed in the rear in the entire Guanzhong region, that is, 20,000 cavalry in the remaining 30,000 Praetorian Guards guarding the palace, Li Wu's request was approved by Li Liangzuo, and 20,000 Praetorian Iron Cavalry were sent to Shangnan.
Two days later, at the south gate of Shangnan City, an army of 100,000 left Shangnan City and headed east, after the last robbery, Wang Kai was very cautious and sent people to keep an eye on Xia Jun, so as soon as the news of Xia Jun's departure reached Wang Kai's ears, Wang Kai realized the seriousness of this problem.
Wang Kai immediately summoned the generals and said: "This king has received news that the 100,000 Xia army has left Shangnan from the south gate and headed east, as for where they go, you all know it yourself, what do you think about this?"
"General, the Xia army must be running for grain and grass; If we lose this batch of grain and grass, it will be meaningless for us to retake the entire Shangnan City. ” "That's a good point."
Wang Kai said; "Li Wu is actually forcing us to fight a decisive battle, but it is not certain who will win and who will lose in this battle."
"What did the general say about this?"
"It's not easy for Song Jun to eat this batch of supplies."
Wang Kai sneered; "Although this batch of materials is escorted by 30,000 troops on the surface, there are also 50,000 people to support; In fact, these 80,000 people are escorting the army, and the so-called people's support is just a pretense; With this 80,000 army, General Ben is sending 100,000 troops, and the total number of troops on both sides is 18, I don't believe that I can't eat the 100,000 army of the Xia army. ” "General, you have to lead an army of 100,000 to respond, there may be more than 30,000 people left in the city when you go, what if the Xia army takes advantage of this to attack?"
"This king is not very demanding, you only need to hold on for one day, no matter what, you must hold this day, and after one day, this general will return with a large army."
Wang Kai said.
"Yes, we will obey the general's orders."
Watching the generals who were arranged to defend the city leave, Wang Kai's heart was very uncomfortable, in fact, Wang Kai didn't tell the truth just now, it was not easy for Shangnan City to fight to such a point, Wang Kai had also realized that even if he invested more troops, it was impossible to recapture Shangnan City, the entire Shangnan City was like a huge meat grinder, constantly devouring the living force of the Song army, not to mention that now the Xia army has the ability to cut off the grain route of the Song army, and the Song army may only have the whole army to annihilate this way.
Therefore, in this case, Wang Kai decided to abandon Shangnan City, of course, giving up Shangnan is only a small part of this plan.
After the Xia army advanced eastward, Wang Kai led the army to the east in the early morning of the second day, so there was a certain distance between the two armies of Song and Xia; Moreover, the Xia army could move much faster than the Song army, and at the same time, the Song army's baggage brigade was marching westward, but it was always under the supervision of the Xia army.
"Lord Wang, according to the report from the spies, the Song army's baggage is less than thirty miles away from us, and it is estimated that it will arrive this afternoon."
Qin Hu reported to Li Wuyu.
"You must eat this batch of baggage no matter what."
Li Wu said with a greedy face.
"Rest assured, everything is ready."
Qin Hu said.
Li Wu said to Qin Hu: "This king has brought 40,000 iron horsemen and 60,000 foot soldiers this time; Wang Kai's troops can not sit still, will come to the rescue, this king will hand over the 40,000 iron cavalry to you, you lead 50,000 cavalry to launch a siege of the Song army's baggage team, must be the first time to completely solve them, this king led 60,000 troops to resist Wang Kai's reinforcements, in the solution of the Song army escort army immediately after the support, this king will eat all the troops of Wang Kai out of the city this time. ” "Yes, the last will understand" In order to eliminate the escort troops of the Song army as soon as possible, Qin Hu's cavalry occupied a favorable position, and at the same time, Li Wu led 60,000 foot soldiers to meet the enemy's Wang Kai's army; In the afternoon, the escort army of the Song army finally arrived, and after the escort troops entered the ambush circle, Qin Hu did not order an immediate attack, but after the Song army was halfway through, Qin Hu ordered: "The whole army is attacking" For the attack of the Xia army, the Song army had already prepared, so when the Xia army began to attack, the Song army immediately formed a formation, surrounded all the carts together to form a circle formation against the attack of the Xia cavalry, and at the same time the escort of the people also consciously organized, picked up the bow and arrow to resist the attack of the Xia army, the Xia army's charge was hit by the Song army's bow and crossbow troops, and the loss was great.
Qin Hu led people to rush once, and after being attacked by a rain of arrows, he retreated, looking at the large array of the Song army, Qin Hu scolded angrily: "Bastard, we have been fooled, this is not the Song army's baggage troops at all." ” "General, what should we do now," the adjutant general asked Qin Hu.
"Hurry up and report this matter to the prince, the Song army has already had a conspiracy."
Qin Hu said; "I'll lead someone to block the Song army here."
"Yes, the last general commands" Although the vehicle is the same, but the Song army evacuated with a large number of arrows and earth-shattering thunder, there is also a bed crossbow, these are big killers against the cavalry, the Song army can effectively block the impact of the Xia cavalry by surrounding the car into a circle, and the bow and crossbow and arrow feathers can keep attacking the Xia cavalry.
If you look at the map at this time, you will find that the Xia army is actually surrounded by the Song army, and the 180,000 army of the Song army has completely surrounded the 110,000 army of the Xia army.
