Chapter 70 Capture that Duo Roman tail alive!
The news that Fei Tingchunli's troops were almost wiped out was sent back to the Western Xia court. Liang Yi was so angry that he fell several precious Song Dynasty porcelains in succession.
Empress Dowager Liang immediately ordered Fei Tingchunli to be pushed back to Xingqing for trial, and ordered the capital Romawei to speed up and arrive at Hengshan to attack the Hengshan thieves' base camp.
But the subsequent official letter made the Liang siblings frightened.
——Ye Ci rebelled!
Well, it is not right to say that Ye Ci is against him, because they only support the emperor. Supporting the emperor cannot be considered rebellion, right?
"Rebellion, rebellion, Ye Ci Xiqing is disgusted with his long life. Immediately, I will send troops to attack the Xishou Baotai Army Division, and beheaded all the Ye Ci family. He marinated his head with lime and sent it back to Xingqinglei to Jingguan. I think who dares to rebel!"
Queen Mother Liang was furious.
However, the edict was not issued.
If such an edict is issued at this time, it can only be a real force to defend the Xishou Baotai Army Division, and may even anger other tribes.
Therefore, the Xixia court immediately sent envoys to the Xishoubaotai Army Division and brought a lot of property to the West Shoubaotai Army Division, hoping to temporarily comfort the Xishoubaotai Army Division.
At the same time, no other military commanders left behind and sent envoys to bring their belongings to appease them.
I don’t know whether there will be any settlement in the future, but at this time, they cannot be allowed to join the imperial party seriously, otherwise the Liang family will be in danger.
But those are all false, and the most important thing is that the latter party urgently needs a big victory!
The rear party must demonstrate its strength so that it can intimidate all the princes who are ready to move.
This is the result of injustice.
If Li Bingchang was in power and as his orthodox heir, the tribal leaders would still recognize him. But now Li Bingchang takes the lead in opposing the back party, then those unsuccessful tribal leaders will naturally be ready to move.
While both sides needed a big victory to gain the advantage, Ouyang Bian asked Zhong Yi to give an order to various banking supervisors.
“…Strive to annihilate the enemy in the movement, while paying attention to position attack tactics to seize the enemy’s strongholds and cities.
On the issue of siege, all enemy strongholds and cities with weak garrisons resolutely seized them;
All the strongholds and city cameras that the enemy has moderate levels of defense and the environment allows them to be seized;
All enemies guard strong strongholds and cities, wait for the conditions to mature and then seize them.
We strive to annihilate the enemy through mobile warfare, to capture cities and oppress the enemy, to show our army's might, and to enhance the confidence of our partners who want to join our army. In this way, great things will be together!"
Zhong Yi was trusting Ouyang Bian and issued the order, but frowned and asked:
"Ji Mo, I can understand your idea, which is to avoid the enemy's idea of finding our main force to fight.
Try to use guerrilla warfare to annihilate the enemy's living forces, and at the same time, attack cities with weak defenses.
Try to create a general trend of siege cities and villages, and enhance the confidence of those who want to abandon darkness and turn to the light.
But I don’t know if you have ever thought about how to ensure the safety of Yanzhou City once the Roman tail is directed to Yanzhou City all the way?"
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "If all Roman tails are so determined, we will run away quickly. It would be better if Yanzhou City doesn't want it.
As the saying goes, if the land is lost, people and land will be lost; if the land is lost, people and land will be preserved. Although Yanzhou City is good, our goal is not Yanzhou City.
Besides, we have to wait until Roma Tail can get here before we talk about it.”
Zhong Yi was a little worried, but Ouyang Bian ran to fish leisurely.
...
Ouyang Bian is right, it is very difficult for Romawei to reach Yanzhou City.
All Rome's tails were extremely frustrated, and he had never fought such a battle.
The Banking Regulatory Commission was divided into small groups of hostile groups, fighting guerrillas in platoons, constantly harassing him along the way, forcing him to stop and prepare to face the enemy at any time, but once he fought steadily, the Banking Regulatory Commission was immediately gone.
The Roman tail was upset by harassment and ordered the cavalry to pursue it, but after the cavalry chased it out, they could basically not come back. Those who fled back said that when they chased it out, they were besieged by many cavalry until they died.
This way, it is impossible to stop and the road is too fast, which makes the Roman tail feel deeply frustrated.
As a last resort, Du Romawei personally led all more than 10,000 cavalry to pursue the chasing cavalry, so as to ensure the safety of the chasing cavalry. However, what Du Romawei did not expect was that they could not catch up with the Banking Supervision Guards.
Because the banking supervision guards are all equipped with strong and good horses, they can't catch up at all. After chasing for a long time, they just chased them to be lonely.
Then, when he returned, he found that the infantry left in the spot was attacked.
The reason why the Dumawei dared to keep the infantry in place was because there were more than 10,000 infantrymen, nearly 20,000. It was not easy for the cavalry to attack, so they were relieved to pursue them.
But what he did not expect was that the Banking Supervision Guards used the big roundabout tactics to confuse six regiments, about 10,000 cavalry, and attacked the infantry left behind by the Roman tail with all their strength.
In terms of infantry defense, the Roman Tai still overestimated the combat effectiveness of the infantry in Xixia. Xixia has always been advantageous with cavalry, and the infantry is actually much worse than the infantry in the Song Dynasty. After all, they have horses, so they naturally don’t need to spend a lot of effort to develop infantry.
In the past, they maintained a more offensive posture and rarely needed to defend cavalry with infantry, so they did not have the experience of the Song Dynasty infantry fighting cavalry.
Under the continuous attacks of the Mongolian cavalry tactics in the later generations of the Silver Supervision Guard, a gap was finally opened. The cavalry of the Silver Supervision Guards charged in. After half a day of fierce battle, they completely defeated them, beheaded more than 8,000, and the rest of the infantry collapsed!
When Roma Tail came back, there was only a mess left in the camp.
Only a few soldiers and horses were left, and Roma's heart was cold, so he turned around and ran towards Xingqing with his cavalry.
At this time, he did not dare to go to Jingsai Military Office for help, because at this time, he might be tied up and sent to Li Bingchang's place.
——Who knows whether Jingsai Military Office has turned against the enemy?
All Rome fled in panic, but Ouyang Bian did not intend to let him go. When he learned that the Western Xia infantry had been defeated by the Banking Supervision Guard, he issued another order.
"...Good to take advantage of the gap between two battles to rest and train the army to rest. Generally, do not take too long to prevent the enemy from breathing as much as possible.
Now the enemy chief capital Roman Tail is already full of energy and loses its vigor. At this time, it is better to chase the remaining bravery and pursue the enemy. Do not seek fame and learn the overlords. The entire army intercepts and capture the Roman Tail alive!"
Du Mawei took his cavalry and abandoned his baggage and ran all the way to the vicinity of Lingzhou City. He was relieved, but what he didn't expect was that the Hengshan thief would dare to be so rampant.
It was precisely because of this carelessness that made him sacrifice his life.
