"Big brother, don't worry, I have already sent someone to report the latest situation to my father. \ Chong Hao looked at the map and said: "I'm afraid the Xia army will attack in the next few days, and it is likely to be a sneak attack in the middle of the night, especially the upper camps on the peaks on both sides are the top priority, and they must be defended; To defend both sides is to defend the Hangu Pass" "Brother understands, in the past two days, he will send people to step up patrols and step up preparations for war."
The battle of Hangu Pass is inevitable, but for example, today's eyes did not gather on Hangu Pass, but gathered in several states in Huaibei, the Song army had crossed the Huai River in a big way, while the Xia army retreated again and again and refused to meet the battle, and the left marshal Zhang Duan led an army of 200,000 to chase Xu He.
Qi County Summer Army Camp.
Xu He led the last 5,000 elite cavalry to be driven back to the camp by the Song army like a dog, and whenever Xu He wanted to go back to the division to give Zhang Dian a while, the military order of Li De, the king of Liang, arrived, and ordered him not to fight back but to retreat, which made Xu He feel a fire in his heart Xu He returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, hung the war knife to the side, and then puffed aside, Li De asked Xu He: "It's back, what's wrong?"
"Lord Wang, the last general doesn't understand, why our army retreated again and again, and was chased like a rabbit by the Song army, the last general really can't figure it out."
Xu He said angrily; "The last general has been in the army for so many years, and he has never been so cowardly."
"If you can't figure it out, think slowly."
Li De said sternly; "Order all the soldiers in the city to resist for a while after the arrival of the Song army, and then continue to evacuate westward."
"Lord Wang, still withdraw" Xu He asked in a loud voice.
"Obey military orders."
Li De scolded loudly.
"Yes, the last general commands" "Forget it."
Li De said to Xu He; "You don't have to guard Qi County, here is guarded by the king himself, with your five thousand cavalry immediately westward, thirty miles west of Qi County, this king set up a large camp, the camp has this king brought 30,000 fine cavalry, 150,000 people and 50,000 new troops and 100,000 people under your command, then you will understand why this king retreated again and again; After arriving at the camp, you should always pay attention to the movement in the direction of Qi County, and immediately lead the army back to the division to cover up and kill after seeing the fire, understand?"
"Yes, the Admiral understands."
Xu He reluctantly took the military order.
"You take this and open it when you get to the camp."
Li De handed a secret letter to Xu He and said.
Xu He put it in his arms after receiving the letter, and then marched to Li De and ordered: "The last general has retired." ” After Xu He led 5,000 elite cavalry to leave, Qi County was left with only a few hundred elite guards and 50,000 people around Li De, and it was simply wishful thinking to rely on these people to hold Qi County, and I don't know what Li De, the king of Liang, thought in his head; Now that the meat is on the lips, Zhang Dan, the marshal of the left side of the Song army, doesn't care about this, he has long wanted to swallow Li De in one go, although Zhang Duan pursued the Xia army all the way, but he did not relax his vigilance.
In the evening, the forward 50,000 troops of the Song army have arrived at the east of 30 miles outside the city of Qi County, and set up camp here, the commander of the Song army forward is none other than the right marshal of the Song army, Zhang Dan, after arriving, Zhang Dan sent spies to Qi County to investigate, at this time Qi County was heavily guarded, several spies close to Qi County were shot into a hornet's nest on the spot.
In the camp of the Song army outside the city, a general of the Song army reported to Zhang Dianyu: "Marshal, the return of the horses, the Xia army is heavily guarded, and our army cannot approach at all, and the Xia army has also built a large number of horses, trenches and horse traps outside the city; The last general thought that the city was likely to be the main force of the Xia army."
"No, the city is not the main force of the Xia army."
Zhang Dian shook his head and said; "At most, it's just a partial division of the Xia army, and it's likely to be a rabble."
"What is the credential of the marshal," Song Jiang asked Zhang Dian in confusion.
Zhang Dian said: "If it is the main force of the Xia army, I am afraid that at this time it would have been out of the city to fight a decisive battle with us, and it will not come out of the city?"
"Handsome and wise."
Song Jiang patted his ass and said: "The last general admires." ” Although he knew that General Song was patting on the back, Zhang Dian was very useful, and Zhang Dian asked General Song: "When will our Chinese army and rear army arrive?"
"Marshal, the 100,000 Chinese troops will arrive tomorrow evening, and the 50,000 rear troops will arrive at noon the day after tomorrow."
Song Jiang said.
"Order the army to attack Qi County tomorrow, strive to capture this city before evening, and let the army enter the city to rest."
Zhang Dan issued a military order.
"Yes, the last general commands" In the early morning of the next day, the Song army beat the war drum to Qi County to launch an attack, Zhang Dian put the main attack direction of the Song army at the east gate, and sent a team of soldiers and horses outside the west gate and the north gate to cooperate, only the south gate did not send people, more than ten miles outside the south gate is the water can not show troops at all, so Zhang Dian did not send troops here, there is another reason, the art of war cloud siege of the city, the siege of three is missing one; In order to prevent the defenders from resisting desperately, leaving a door is tantamount to telling the defenders in the city that there is still a way to escape.
On the east gate tower of Qi County, Li De, the king of Liang, personally commanded the enemy, Li De did not think about fighting with the rabble under his command to defend Qi County, Li De just wanted to drag the Song army forward, and drag the Song army to ten o'clock in the evening, so the Xia army can be used at will A large number of weapons prepared in the city can be used at will, without any savings.
At the beginning of the battle, it entered the white-hot stage, Zhang Dian commanded the army to launch a fierce attack on Qi County, at the beginning of the battle, the casualties of the Song army were very large, braving the rain of arrows of the Xia army, many Song soldiers fell into the trap and howled in pain, after all, the Song soldiers under the command of Zhang Dian were on the battlefield for the first time, when they saw such a bloody scene, many people vomited, but even so the Song army continued to attack.
The Song army's attack quickly took effect, even if the Song army had not been on the battlefield, but at least it had received systematic military training, and the defenders under Li De's command were completely a rabble, and they were defeated under the fierce attack of the Song army, and by noon the city wall had been lost, and had to retreat to the city to hold on.
"Lord Wang, most of Qi County has been lost, our army has suffered more than 40,000 casualties, and now only Nancheng is left, or we should withdraw" An officer suggested to Li De.
Li De looked at the direction of the setting sun in the west and said: "Now there is still more than half an hour before dusk, and it is almost there, and the army is ordered to withdraw from the south gate, and everything is according to the original plan." ” As soon as Li De's military order was issued, an officer ran to Li De's side and said: "Report, report, report to the prince, the horse survey reported that the Song army's large army, estimated to have 100,000 troops, is heading for Qi County, and it is estimated that it will be able to arrive in an hour." ” Li De sneered: "It's really the right time for the main force of the Song army to come, it's just a pot of stew; The herald ordered the army to immediately withdraw west from the south gate. ” On the other side, the Song army camp, which was responsible for attacking the Song army, came to Zhang Dun's side and said: "Yu Dashuai, the Xia army has fled from the southern city, less than 10,000 people, and our army has killed more than 40,000 enemy troops in this battle. ” "Okay, herald the march into the city."
Zhang Dian happily ordered.
The second is more presented, continue to ask for votes and support:
