Chapter 697: The Great War of the Central Plains


At the end of this year, on the last day of the thirty-seventh year of the assimilation of Great Xia, the 300,000 Song army was attacked by the Xia army, and finally less than 1,000 people fled back to the south of the Yellow River, and the Xia army won a complete victory with minimal losses; At ten o'clock in the evening, the generals of the Xia army returned to the camp happily and returned to the Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo looked at the generals who were happy and said: "What are you stupid about, what are you coke, you see what you look like one by one." ” "Your Majesty, this time we have completely annihilated the 300,000 elites of the Song army, and our army has suffered less than 5,000 injuries, which is an unprecedented victory," Yang Shousu said to Li Liangzuo with a smile; "This victory depends on His Majesty's leadership."

"Less fucking sycophants."

Li Liangzuo said without a smile on his face; "This result is expected, what is there to be happy about, and this is just the beginning, the big war is still to come, the three armies are ordered, rest for two days, and after two days, the army will cross the Yellow River and go south to Kaifeng."

"Yes, I respectfully obey Your Majesty's Shengyu" On the other side, Zhang Miao, under the protection of dozens of personal soldiers, could not escape all the way to Kaifeng, which was very embarrassing; To deal with the defeat of Hebei, it was the news of the annihilation of the 300,000 army, and the seed master was like a thunderbolt in the sunny sky, and the news soon spread all over the world, although Zhao Xu, the Song Emperor who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, was worried about the war on the front line, but there was nothing to do.

Kaifeng City, inside the camp of the Song army.

Now the whole Kaifeng has been reduced to a ruin, the former prosperous capital has long been lost by Li De's fire, the reason why the Song army still chose to be here is that Kaifeng is the assembly place for the Song army to retreat south; Today, there are only 100,000 Song troops stationed in Kaifeng City, and the remaining 200,000 are stationed in Xingyang and Hujiaoguan in the west and Hunzhou and Jeju in the east.

"Seed Shuai, Kaifeng City can't stay any longer, the Xia army may besiege us at any time, and it will be too late for anything then."

Zhang Miao said to the planter: "Besides, we don't have much grain and grass now. ” "General Zhang, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to withdraw now, we still have 200,000 troops to defend on the east and west sides, so why don't we withdraw them," said to Zhang Miao.

"When you withdraw them, none of us will be able to leave."

Zhang Miao said very eagerly: "Now that the prince is afraid that something has happened, do you want the prince's hard work to be ruined?"

"Okay, then according to what you say, but the withdrawal of this 100,000 army is not a trivial matter, and we need at least two days to prepare."

Seed Master Dao said to Zhang Miao.

After Zhang Miao heard this, he nodded and said: "Okay, the commander gave me 5,000 elite soldiers, I will go south to Xianping, and you will lead the army to evacuate from Xianping two days later." ” "Okay, that's it."

Zhang Miao nodded and said.

The defeat of the Song army is decided, this is already irretrievable, but it is important to see how and how to lose; For the Song army, the most important thing now is to preserve strength, the Northern Army of the Song Army is the most elite army in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is one person to be able to evacuate one more.

In the Song army's plan to evacuate, Li De, the king of Liang, led a large army to attack Huoyi without success, and the loss was huge, Li De immediately adjusted the strategic deployment, leaving 50,000 troops outside Huoyi City to play the banner of 200,000 troops, and led the remaining 150,000 troops to secretly leave from Huoyi City.

"Lord Wang, where are we going to lead the army?"

Xu He asked Li De, the king of Liang.

"To block the retreat of the Song army, it is not only through Huoyi that this is the only way."

Li De said with a strange smile: "Do you want to, if you were the commander of the Song army, where would you evacuate from?"

Xu He thought for a while and said, "Then it must have been evacuated along the nearest route, that is, from Xianping to the south of the Cai River." ” "Yes, if we go south along the Cai River, we will definitely pass through the area of Cuiqiao Town, where we will ambush and wait for the arrival of the Song army."

On the battlefield of the eastern front on the other side, Li Ke, the king of Qi, led an army of 100,000 to Hunzhou, and the entire Central Plains battlefield was lit everywhere, and the millions of armies of the two countries in Song and Xia started a fight, and the Song army was completely at a disadvantage, in order to reduce the pressure of the Song army in the Central Plains, Wang Kai led the army out of Xiangyang to attack the Qin King Li Wusuo, and the two armies started a big battle in the Chaoshui area.

Kaifeng City north of the hill, Li Liangzuo's Chinese army tent is located here, Tan Ma ran back and forth to inform the latest widening, in the Chinese army tent, there is a huge sand table, which clearly shows the situation on the battlefields of the Central Plains, from the overall battle situation, the Song army has been completely surrounded by the Xia army.

"Your Majesty, the latest report, the 100,000 troops led by Seed Master Dao and Zhang Miao have gone south along the Cai River, and the 300,000 iron cavalry led by the King of Chu has chased to Chicang Town, but I am afraid it will take another day to catch up with the Song army."

Yang Shousu reported to Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo looked at the sand table and said: "One day is enough time to decide the outcome of the battle, I have ordered Li Hu'er to lead an army of 100,000 to Cuiqiao Town for reinforcements, now it depends on De'er." ” Cuiqiao Town, in the camp of the Xia Army.

In order to be able to stop the Song army from fleeing south, Li De, the king of Liang, sent a large number of scouts to search for the movements of the Song army, but since Xianping, the Song army disappeared as if the world had evaporated.

"Lord Wang, there is still no news of Song Jun."

Xu He reported to Li Deyu.

Li De frowned and said: "This is impossible, can it be said that the Song army can still grow wings and fly, continue to send them to search, even if it is three feet into the ground, the Song army will find out for this king." ” In the evening, a fast horse came to the camp and reported: "Report, report, report to the prince, find the main force of the Song army." ” "Tell me where to speak," Li De asked eagerly.

"Lord Wang, the main force of the Song army is one hundred and twenty miles east of Cuiqiao Town, and it seems that it is heading towards Zhecheng."

"Order the army to go to Zhecheng to pursue and kill the Song army."

Li De decisively issued a military order.

Under the leadership of Li De, the fifteenth Xia army rushed to Zhecheng, and finally caught up with the Song army at ten o'clock in the evening of the next day, the Xia army was already a tired division of long-distance travel at this time, but Li De could not take care of so much, and immediately ordered an attack on the Song army, after the two sides fought for half an hour, the sky was completely dark, the Song army used the cover of night to disperse and fled southward, and after dawn Li De found that the Song army disappeared again when he searched for the Song army.

In fact, the army pursued by Li De was not the main force of the Song army, the real main force of the Song army was divided into two roads from the Xianping army, one was led by the main army of the Song army to secretly cross the Cai River and turn westward, through Zhujiaqu Town into the territory of Yingchang Mansion, and then went south to Yuncheng into the territory of Caizhou, and the other road was led by Zhang Miao disguised as the main army, and the same hidden trace went from Yucheng to the southeast, and went straight to Zhecheng, after being attacked by the Xia army, under the command of Zhang Miao, the Song army took advantage of the night to disperse and escape.

In the end, there were more than 80,000 Song troops who fled from the encirclement of the Xia army, and the remaining 200,000 troops had completely unable to get out, they had been surrounded by the Xia army, and at the same time the Xia army continued to move south, and the army reached the first line of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, and the Xia army occupied the entire Central Plains, but hundreds of thousands of Xia troops Chen Bing and the Huai River had the posture of crossing the river at any time, which brought great pressure to the Song court.

The second is more presented, and those who have votes will support it:
