Less than an hour after the start of the war, Li De ordered: "Collect the troops."
"Lord Wang, but the Song army has not been completely killed."
"There's no need to fight them, it's a waste of time, the order to withdraw immediately, this is a rabble and Ben is not necessary, it may be better for us to be alive."
Li De ordered expressionlessly.
The horn sounded "Woo, woo, woo".
The Xia army iron cavalry that was originally scattered to chase and kill the Song army, immediately stopped the pursuit after hearing the order of the horn and began to assemble to the location of the horn, this battle was not enough for the Xia army to even plug the teeth, in less than an hour, 40,000 Song troops were defeated, more than 10,000 people were killed, the Xia army did not want any prisoners, the rest of the Song army scattered and fled, and the Xia army miraculously did not die a single person, only dozens of people were slightly injured.
What Li De didn't expect was that the less than 30,000 Song troops were routed, and they became chaotic soldiers, some of the Song troops regrouped and went to Bianliang, others fled back to their homes, and some fell directly into the grass.
The formation of these bandits is directly related to Li De's Xia army.
Li De basically implements the strategy of burning and robbing everywhere he goes, and after Xia Jun leaves, the people who are alive will lose their homes, and these people will become two kinds of people, one is the homeless people who go around asking for food, and most of these people are old and weak women and children; And the other type of people are bandits, in order to survive, they began to rob their homes and houses, and used the looted things to support their families, most of these people are men in the prime of life, and they are forced to have no choice, after all, now that the Great Song Dynasty is fighting, they have no time to care about them.
To get back to the point, after Li De led the army back to Qingcheng, he immediately turned around and defeated the Song army's Eastern Route Army; In this way, all the rescuers on both sides of Bianliang are gone, and the entire Bianliang City has become a piece of fat in the mouth of the Xia army; Li De wrote a letter and sent someone to Kaifeng Mansion Yin Baoyu, which was a letter of persuasion, the main meaning was to persuade Bao Baocheng to surrender, so as to avoid the destruction of Bianliang City.
Yin Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Yu saw this letter and immediately tore it up, and shouted angrily at the envoy sent by Li De: "Go back and tell your prince, this official would rather die than surrender, you Xia people are wolf ambitions, if it weren't for the kindness of Emperor Taizong at the beginning, your Xia Kingdom would have perished a long time ago."
"In that case, I'm going to take my leave, take care of you."
The envoy said angrily.
After the envoy came, he made a detailed report to Li De, and Li De waved his hand to let him go down after hearing it, and the deputy general asked Li De: "Lord, Bao Yu refuses to surrender, and the next step is probably only to attack Bianliang City." ” "Bianliang City is high and deep, and the attack will inevitably lose huge, this king has ordered Yipintang's spies in Bianliang to assist, and today the third watch will open the Nanxun Gate to welcome the army into the city, and the army will immediately disperse after entering the city to seize the strategic places of the Song army in various places, including granaries, large camps, armories, docks and other places."
Li De said to the adjutant general; "Go and call all the generals, and this king will arrange tasks for you."
Soon the generals above the rank of lieutenant of the Xia military army came, and Li De opened a map of Bianliang City provided by Yipintang and said: "The entire Bianliang City has four city walls, and our Majesty will take them all in one go, and the strategic places in the city will also be taken together, these places are relatively scattered, so our army can only occupy them in a scattered manner; Remember not to kill the people when you enter the city, lest they cause the people to enmity and besiege us."
"Yes, follow the orders of the prince" Li De had just finished explaining all the combat tasks, when suddenly a junior officer ran in and reported to Li Deyu: "Report, report, report that the prince's major matter is not good, and Bianliang City is in chaos." ” "It's messed up," Li De asked very puzzled; "What's the mess, explain it to this king."
"I don't know what this lowly position is, but now the entire Bianliang City has been chaotic, and there are chaotic soldiers everywhere."
"Tonight's mission is canceled, we'll talk about it later."
Li De gave the military order to stop the attack.
The reason why Li De stopped the attack was that he was worried that this was a conspiracy of the Song army, but in fact, there was no need for this at all, Bianliang City was indeed in chaos, and even Yin Baoyu of Kaifeng Mansion was killed, this matter was not done by Li De, but it had nothing to do with Li De; Didn't Li De take the initiative to send troops to defeat the two Song armies, but the Song army was not completely annihilated, and some of the Song troops fled to Bianliang City, with a small number of only eight or nine thousand people, these defeated soldiers came from small places, and they had never seen the prosperity of Bianliang City at all.
So as soon as he entered the city, the true appearance of the ruffians was exposed, and the entire Bianliang City was made by this ruffian, and Bao Yu, as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, naturally had to take care of it, so Bao Yu ordered all the ruffians to be arrested, and all of them were asked to be beheaded by the correct military law, and then Bao Yu stabbed the hornet's nest; In the eyes of these ruffians, fighting with the Song army is a death, and it is still a death after coming back, since sooner or later it is a death, it will simply be reversed, maybe there is a way to live, so the captured ruffians broke out into a rebellion, and the defenders of Bianliang City were already few, and the combat effectiveness was not strong.
Since this group of soldiers who don't want to fight and die are not opponents, the ruffians and hooligans in Shangcheng joined in, and the Xia army spies took the opportunity to make waves, and the entire Bianliang City soon became a mess, robbing houses and robbing women, and the originally prosperous Bianliang City became a miserable hell on earth, and the rout soon entered the Kaifeng Mansion Yin Yamen caught Bao Yu and killed him, and the Song army, which had lost its supreme commander, had also joined the ranks of the rout, and the entire Bianliang City had been completely finished.
It wasn't until the early morning of the second day that Li De learned the specific situation, and Li De, who knew this situation, was so happy that he almost fainted, which was like a big pie falling from the sky and smashing Li De's head, Li De immediately ordered: "Order the army to enter the city immediately and strangle the rebels" Li De ordered 50,000 Xia army iron cavalry to enter the city immediately and killed a piece of armor in the Song army that was in turmoil in the city, Li De's move was supported by the people of Bianliang, and the Xia army dramatically changed from the enemy army to a rescuer, for this reason Li De quickly occupied the entire Bianliang City, and Bianliang also temporarily restored normal order, but this turmoil caused a lot of losses in Bianliang City, but these are not important to Li De.
Although he occupied Bianliang, Li De did not plan to stay here for a long time, because Li De had received information that the Song army had gathered an elite army to prepare to recover Bianliang, and Li De's reinforcements attacked Bianliang to destroy the grain and grass base camp in the rear of the Song army, but at this time Li De suddenly changed this idea, and it was a pity to destroy all the baggage in Bianliang City, Li De decided to make good use of these things, these things are very important to Li De.
