In the early morning of the next day, Li De led the army to leave Chicang Town, and the soldiers approached Bianliang City, Li De did not immediately lead the army to attack Bianliang City, but Qingcheng, which was located ten miles south of Bianliang City, as a foundation, in the face of the fierce attack of the Xia army, the defenders of Qingcheng only guarded for half an hour and then evacuated, and fled into Bianliang City together with the people in the city. \ Daimyo Zhao Wang's Mansion.
Zhao Wang Zhao was at a loss, and Zhao Yan was clear about the situation in the Central Plains, but Zhao Yan never thought that Li De would dare to attack Bianliang, in Zhao Yu's opinion, Li De must be crazy, Bianliang began to have a big city with millions of people, and Li De's 50,000 army couldn't even turn up the waves, but when Li De led the 50,000 army to Bianliang, Zhao Yan was a little panicked, no one knew better than Zhao Zhao the importance of Bianliang to the Great Song Dynasty, especially the importance of the northern defense line.
The water system in and around Bianliang City is very developed, with Bianliang as the center constitutes the water channel of the entire Song Dynasty Central Plains and Beifang, Bianliang City has four rivers of Bianhe Tongji Canal, Cai River, Wuzhang River Guangji Canal, Jinshui River, and it is connected by the moat, all the baggage required by the Song army needs to be transported through Bianliang, once Bianliang falls into the hands of the Xia army, it means that the rear grain road of the entire Song army is completely cut off, and Zhao Yan also stores a large amount of grain and grass and weapons in Bianliang City as a grain and grass camp, It's all an astronomical amount But the problem is that at this time, the Xia army led by Li De has come to the city, but Zhao Yan is powerless to rescue, at this time Zhao Yan guarded the defense line of the Daimyo's Mansion is facing the fierce attack of Li Qing's army, the Xia Army's key attack of the Guanshi has changed hands several times, in order to hold the defense line of the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhao Yan has taken all the soldiers and horses under his command, and he can't draw troops to rescue Bianliang at all; But Zhao Yan did not do nothing, Zhao Yan has already transferred the soldiers and horses of Jeju, Guangning, Xingrenfu and other places to form the East Route Army, and the defenders of Gongxian, Xingyang, Heyin and other places formed the West Route Army to support Bianliang, these soldiers and horses have already set off, and it will take a certain amount of time to reach Bianliang due to the slow march.
"Where have the two armies arrived at the moment," Zhao Yu asked Zhao Qun.
"Lord Yu, the 30,000 troops on the East Road have arrived in Dongming, and the 40,000 troops on the West Road have arrived in Zhongmu."
Zhao Qun said to Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan looked at the map and said: "According to the marching speed of our army, it will take at least a day and a half for the two armies to reach Bianliang."
Zhao Yan only saw that it took a day and a half, but although the two armies added up to 70,000 people, but what is the combat effectiveness of these 70,000 troops, I'm afraid Zhao Yan himself is not very clear, if you see the two armies on the march, the first feeling is that it is a group of rabble, these two armies are put together temporarily, the combat effectiveness is very low, and it is not even a third-rate, so an army rushing to Bianliang may not play a big role.
Outside Bianliang City, Li De's 50,000 troops were stationed in Qingcheng, and there was a possibility of attacking Bianliang at any time, but Li De did not immediately launch an attack on Bianliang City, because Li De got the news that the Song Army's eastern and western reinforcements were about to arrive, and this information was provided by Youpintang.
"Lord Wang, according to what we know, the two Song armies will arrive in Bianliang at noon and evening respectively the day after tomorrow, and once the 70,000 troops of the Song army arrive, the situation will be unfavorable to our army."
The adjutant general said to Li De.
"What is the combat strength of the Song army on these two roads?"
Li De asked the adjutant general.
"This is not clear, but if Zhao Yan can be transferred to guard Bianliang, presumably the combat effectiveness of the Song army should not be weak."
The adjutant general said to Li De; "Lord Wang, the last general suggests that you immediately launch an attack on Bianliang, and strive to take Bianliang before the arrival of these two armies."
"What about after taking Bianliang," Li De asked the lieutenant general.
"Naturally, it's against the two-way Song army."
Li De smiled and said: "Let's not say whether we can take Bianliang in two days, even if we can take Bianliang, but with these 50,000 troops can not control Bianliang at all, you must know that there are millions of people in Bianliang City, once the Song army reinforcements arrive, can you guarantee that the people in the city will not respond to the Song army reinforcements?"
"This" adjutant general didn't know how to speak for a while.
"What this king means is to take the initiative to attack and concentrate superior forces to destroy all the Song troops in it, so that the situation will be much better."
Li De said to the adjutant general; "It's a siege to help."
"Then the prince plans to attack the Song army along that way," the adjutant general asked Li De.
"The Western Route Army," Li De said after careful consideration; "There are more than 40,000 Song troops on the West Road, and this king will be able to win a big victory by concentrating 40,000 iron cavalry in the secret, and now we can eliminate a little more of the Song army's strength, and we will save a little more when we attack Bianliang in the future."
"The prince is wise."
The adjutant general patted the ass and said; "What about the remaining 10,000 troops?"
"The remaining 10,000 troops will be handed over to your commander."
Li De walked to Jiangsu's side, patted the deputy general's shoulder and said; "You have only one task, to bluff this king here, and an army of 10,000 will be raised under the banner of an army of 100,000."
It turned out that although there were only 50,000 troops, but after entering the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, Li De had been playing the banner of 100,000 troops, this kind of bluffing practice was very common on the battlefield, and the Song army sometimes bluffed, but it was not easy to do this well, and it was very difficult to find out how many troops the other side had in this era, except for some very experienced generals or veterans who could roughly judge the number of enemy troops by looking at the size of the march and the queue; The rest is judged by the flag set up and the number of stoves used to bury the pot to make rice.
Late that night, Li De quietly led 40,000 troops to leave Qingcheng and go west, at this time the distance between the two armies was already very close, the Xia army was much faster than the Song army's foot soldiers, but for the sake of insurance, Li De did not immediately attack the Song army, but chose to ambush the Song army on the road that the Song army must pass, and at this time the 40,000 Song army did not know that they had been targeted by the Xia army; All the way is plain, which is very suitable for cavalry combat, and in order to prevent being discovered by the Song army, Li De divided his 40,000 troops into four teams and hid them separately.
The actions of the Song army have been under Li De's monitoring, and when Li De was disappointed when he saw the marching queue of the Song army, Li De shook his head and said: "Where is this elite, it is simply a group of rabble. ” "Lord Wang, then what should we do if we want to eat them or not?"
"Command the army, attack at once, and wipe them all out."
Li De gave a military order very indifferently.
This is a one-sided war, but also a massacre, 40,000 Xia cavalry suddenly appeared and jumped the Song army, the first reaction of the Song army was not to resist but to escape, 40,000 Song troops instantly scattered and fled in all directions, the Xia cavalry could only chase and kill separately, and in the end even Li De couldn't stand it.
The first more is presented, Tianyu continues to ask for support and recommendation:
