Chapter 50 Preparation

Genius' website address

Black clouds threaten to destroy the city.

As the Xixia army arrived and set up their positions, Weizhou entered an unprecedented high level of tension.

Whether it is the army or the people, the air seems to be trembling.

Feeling the atmosphere in Weizhou City, Li Su's eyelids jumped.

What the hell, no way, no way

We haven’t even started the war yet, but we are so nervous that we are really going to start a war. Do these guys still have the strength?

And Weizhou City is not a small city. As a windshield for Jingzhao Mansion, it was built very large. The height of the city wall alone is more than two feet, and the trench is close to three feet.

Don’t think that three feet is too low. In the Song Dynasty, one foot was a little more than three meters, and three feet was nine meters.

If Xixia wants to invade, it must have at least 100,000 troops. Just to have the slightest possibility, it will take a long time, even after the city is short of food.

In other words, under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for Xixia to capture Weizhou City.

First website 26

But looking at the atmosphere in Weizhou City at the moment, Li Su felt a little numb and frightened.

Nine meters, equivalent to a three-story bungalow.

In Xixia, where the average person is less than 1.7 meters tall, it takes seven people to step on their shoulders to touch the wall rock.

In this kind of siege, even if the Song Dynasty army has low combat effectiveness, it can still achieve a one to three ratio.

It is almost impossible for the Song Dynasty to surrender. It’s not that they can’t, but that they dare not.

Because once the Xixia soldiers win, they will not accept surrender and will only massacre the city.

Therefore, even though they were very frightened in their hearts, the soldiers and civilians were very determined to block it, and they would block it no matter what.

However, fortunately

In the eyes of the Song Dynasty people, the Xixia army was very cruel. After all, it was not a big country with only so many people. The war relied on brutality. Character.

The so-called success is cruel, and failure is cruel.

He frowned, his expression gloomy.

He did not intend to attack the city.

But he didn’t want Yipintang to let him attack the city.

At this moment, Xixia Camp.

The leader is Wu Zang Shiba, the son of Wu Zang Pang, the brother of the favorite concubine of Xixia lord Li Yuanhao, and a powerful relative.

As an army general, he is very clear about the difficulty of Weizhou City. With the troops he brings, it is absolutely impossible to conquer Weizhou. There are not enough people and not enough time.

Originally, when he came to the city, he was just showing off to make Kaifeng of the Song Dynasty feel threatened.

Weizhou is only one city away from Jingzhao Prefecture, and Jingzhao Prefecture is only one land away from Kaifeng.

Yipintang, a special department established by His Majesty Li Yuanhao himself, has a small number of people but extremely strong personal strength, and is best at infiltratingToru, behead.

Because it only belongs to Li Yuanhao, Wu Zangshiba has no right to intervene.

Originally, the two parties did not interfere with each other, but they did not expect that the other party suddenly brought Li Yuanhao's imperial order.

After thinking about the current situation of the Song Dynasty for a while, Wu Zangshi looked at the 1.23-meter-tall masked man holding the imperial order and said, "It's okay to attack the city, but it takes two days at most. If the battle fails, I will move the army."

"It won't take that long, just once. Yipintang will cooperate with the soldiers to attack the city and find an opportunity to break through the city wall and open the city gate."

With a look on his face, Yipintang also dispatched and directly participated in the war

With the timid character of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, although it was a pity that he did not send troops to Jingzhao Mansion, once he got here, the strategy Enough is enough.

The next negotiation will be very beneficial to Xixia.

So when he came to Weizhou, he had actually begun to think about retreat.

Although nearly 10,000 Song troops were killed in the end, their own losses were not small, less than 800 were killed and more than 1,000 were injured.

Thanks to the leader being stupid enough, he did not hold on but chose to break out after falling into the trap. Otherwise, instead of two thousand casualties, there would have been more than two thousand casualties alone.

Muzang Shiba nodded and said, "I will have people prepare siege equipment. I will launch an offensive tomorrow at Shenshi. I will launch an attack on the west and south gates at the same time, with the west gate as the main one. At the same time, I will prepare a There are only 5,000 troops at the north gate. We will launch an offensive at the beginning of Xu. You will also send people to cooperate in the attack. At the second quarter of Xu, I will send the night warfare department to attack the east gate and organize 3,000 cavalry to wait outside.

Although he has not met them a few times, he also knows the skills and strength of the people in Yipintang. If they serve as the vanguard of the death squads, Weizhou might really have a chance.

Don’t even think about it 100% of the time.

There are also masters from the Song Dynasty and the Xixia Yipintang. Although they are not under the command of the imperial court, basically whenever there is a war, they will appear. This time it seems that it is also because of those masters passing on News, otherwise Da Song would not have been able to react so quickly, and the previous battle would have been easier.

The east gate is behind the Xixia military formation. It is a position that surrounds three and puts one aside. Under normal circumstances, no attack will be launched here. Therefore, most civilians in the city gather here and retreat if they cannot hold it. .

"Okay, I will send someone to cooperate with you."

The eyes of the short figure moved, and he had to say that he looked down on the strength of the person in front of him, and the weak were not worth it. Mention, there is still something worthy of praise in military strategy.

If you attack two gates, the defense of the other two gates will naturally be reduced, but the opponent's general will also be on guard and sneak attacks from the other two gates.

When Xu Chu attacks the north gate, the opponent will definitely think that this time is the real target. Once they go all out to defend, they will relax mentally. A sudden attack on the east gate would undoubtedly be caught off guard.

Siege War

What is Xixia thinking?

Is it possible that they thought they could break in?

In Weizhou City.

Wang Yan frowned, and as time passed, his expression became more solemn and puzzled.

Just now the guards came with news that the Xixia army was cutting down wood. This behavior undoubtedly shocked him greatly.

The Xixia soldiers who came here can only save 30,000 men, so they should not launch a city war at all.

But unfortunately, the other party did it.

The felling of wood was obviously in preparation for the siege.

Even if the Song Dynasty's military strength is very weak, the Xixia army will suffer terrible losses of three to one in a plain battle.

But in city battles and street battles, in a big city like Weizhou, the battle damage will be directly reversed. As for street battles, the minimum is one to two.

If we really want to start a war, what if it ends?

Wang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, Wang Yan was not stupid, and he considered many possibilities in an instant.

"Comer"

Are you planning to take the city by surprise or have a way to directly attack the city

He is not Ge Huaimin. He has quite a lot of experience. As long as he takes care of the city and defends it, Wei It is absolutely impossible for the city to be broken within a month.

And obviously it would not take a month, but at most five days, for the Song army to arrive.

"Yes."
