I originally thought that if Wang Deyong was in the light and he was in the dark, they would be able to take the initiative no matter what the enemy did, but I didn't expect that Wang Deyong was really a waste among wastes.
After arriving in Xinzhou, not only did he make no achievements at all, but he would just sit in the city and wait to die.
Could it be that if you sit in Xincheng, the situation in the north will improve?
Okay, your ability is mediocre, so just stay in the city, be a living target, and attract the enemy's attention. But why do you want to transfer Wang Xin back from Langu City?
With Wang Xin's move, the situation in the north immediately changed. The three tribes were no longer isolated, but finally had a chance to come together. With an enemy like the Song Dynasty, they might really be able to temporarily unite.
Just like now, they have united and formed a huge momentum.
In the west of the northern border, because of the unity of the three clans, Wang Deyong and Wang Xin were surrounded by Xinzhou and completely lost all initiative.
Now, the entire west of the Northern Territory, it is no exaggeration to say, has become a place where foreigners can roam freely. They will only treat this place as their own back garden, and they can do whatever they want.
This situation was something Su Shi had not expected before.
When he thought that because of Wang Deyong's stupid move, the people of the Song Dynasty in the west of the northern border were living in dire straits, Su Shi was furious.
If he had known that something like this would happen, Su Shi would not give up Xincheng even if he had a head-on confrontation with Wang De.
"Wang Deyong, you are a damn sinner of the nation, a sinner." He thought bitterly in his heart. Su Shi still had to calm down quickly.
The situation in Xinzhou
It's so corrupt that Su Shi can't save him even if he wants to. Now he can only train his troops to see in which direction the situation will develop. Also, the court can't remain indifferent and what kind of decision they will make.
Su Shi didn't have to wait long, and two pieces of news came quickly.
First, 30,000 Xinzhou soldiers and 10,000 Forbidden Army reserve troops left Xinzhou first and are now heading towards Baozhou to defect to Su Shi.
Second, there was finally movement from the imperial court. They could not sit back and watch Wang Deyong and Wang Xin's army be surrounded and destroyed, so they sent an army of 100,000 to come to the rescue. The leading general was Huang Gaoyi, the former commander of the Hebei Route Army.
.
Su Shi had read some information about Huang Gaoyi when he was in the capital before.
How to put it this way, his performance is mediocre, at least he is not a pioneering player, and he still has some defensive abilities. That's all.
"One hundred thousand? That's not enough."
Su Shi made a calculation in his mind.
Now outside Xincheng, the three major foreign tribes have nearly 300,000 troops. There are only 112,000 Song troops in the city. Even if the 100,000 troops led by Huang Gaoyi are added, the number is just over 200,000.
In terms of military strength alone, there is still a gap of nearly 100,000 people.
If we talk about combat effectiveness, the difference is even greater.
Even if I send troops to Xinzhou now, it will be difficult to break the siege of Xincheng. It may even be targeted, giving the enemy every opportunity and possibility to defeat it.
The best outcome is that both sides suffer losses.
Once they really fight for it, if the three tribes continue to send troops, how many troops will the Song Dynasty have left to send?
If it really turned into a war of attrition, the Song Dynasty would never do it.
Could be the opponent of the three tribes united.
In other words, when it comes to rescue, it is a big hole that cannot be filled no matter what.
Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs.
In Su Shi's eyes, Wang Deyong is a pig teammate.
Wang Xin is too foolish and loyal. Most people like this are stupid.
Being with such people will only lower Su Shi's IQ and put himself in danger.
"If we don't rescue him, we won't be able to save him." Su Shi made a decision in his heart, and then looked towards the north on the map, and then looked further north.
A sentence flashed through my mind involuntarily, "I don't care which way you come, I only go one way."
Yes, that's it, you hit yours and I'll hit mine.
At this moment, Su Shi made a strategic decision.
At this time, Su Shi, with a target in mind, began to consider the weapons available to him.
More than four thousand black knights.
Six thousand vanguard troops.
Twenty thousand Baozhou troops.
Twenty thousand Xiongzhou troops.
In addition, there are 30,000 Xinzhou troops and 10,000 reserve imperial troops rushing towards Rongcheng.
Taken together, this is an army of 90,000 people.
Enough, it should be enough.
At this moment, Su Shi's lips showed a confident smile.
...
Xincheng.
A military camp was set up outside the city, and the area around Xinzhou was so watertight that not even a bird could fly out.
This is already the twenty-second day that the three tribes have besieged Xinzhou.
During this period, the three tribes also launched attacks, but they were all beaten back by the Song army commanded by Wang Xin.
After several charges, not to mention the loss of troops and generals, there was no hope of breaking the city, so the three tribes just besieged but did not attack.
Anyway, they are all cavalry and cannot attack the city, but there is still no problem in preventing the Song army from escaping.
And being
On the twenty-third day of the siege, the original silence outside the city became lively.
For the first time, a large number of Song Dynasty reinforcements appeared outside the city.
A big yellow flag stood in the wind. Huang Gaoyi led one hundred thousand imperial reinforcements to the south of Xincheng. At this time, the distance to the city was already less than ten miles.
Standing on the tower, you can already see it from a distance.
"The reinforcements are finally here, finally here. General Wang, we should send troops out of the city immediately. In cooperation with them, we should cooperate inside and outside to severely damage the enemies surrounding the city." On the top of the city tower, Wang De used to sweep away the previous decline. At this moment, his eyes widened.
Light, full of energy.
"No, Lord Wang, this is probably a strategy of the alien race, to lure us out of the city and then destroy us all at once." Wang Xin shook his head and said firmly.
He had already been deceived once before, giving up Langu City and coming to Xincheng.
This mistake not only caused him to lose tens of thousands of Song Dynasty heroes, but also completely lost the initiative, allowing the Xixia and Mongolian armies to merge. Now they are all standing side by side.
At this time, they already regarded the western part of the north as their own home.
This mistake caused countless cities in the west of the northern border to fall, and countless people to be destroyed, displaced, killed or captured.
This mistake caused Wang Xin to suffer a lifetime of shame.
Now, Wang Deyong started gesticulating again. How could Wang Xin listen to orders again?
"General Wang, do you dare to disobey military orders?" Wang Deyong said angrily when he saw that someone dared to disobey his orders.
"Ms. Wang, I am the commander of the Hebei Route Army personally ordered by His Majesty. Then I will provide security for the entire northern border.
Unless Your Majesty withdraws my military power, I will still have the power to command the army, and I will be responsible for the lives of the Song Dynasty soldiers under me."
Wang Xin finally got tough.
Look outside the city. The cavalry from the three tribes that were originally surrounded suddenly retreated.
Even before the fight started, they took the initiative to give way to a road. Don’t you understand what this means?
On the ground ten miles away, there are clearly written the words "Invite people into the urn".
Wang Xin really didn't know how Wang Deyong became the Privy Councilor, and he didn't even know this basic battlefield common sense.
When Wang De was retorted, he stomped his feet angrily, but he had no better way. "Okay, after the war, I will definitely ask the Holy One to punish you for disobedience."
Wang Xin's expression changed at this threat, and his attitude was obviously not as tough as before.
Although he was sure that his judgment was correct, would the big men in the court really listen to his appeal?
This was not Wang Xin's first day as a general, and he knew very well what kind of behavior the ministers in the court had. They seemed to be afraid that the general would overturn the situation, and they had always been on guard against them.
I still want to stir up some trouble for you. Now if they catch what they think is something they think they can do, they will definitely deal with it.
Those big men are extremely soft to the outside world and are willing to be like their grandsons. But when they attack their own people, they don't show any mercy at all. They are as ruthless as they can be.
Thinking that his family is all in Bianliang City, and that his grandson is slowly growing up, if they are affected because of him, then he is the whole Wang family.
A family of sinners.
At this moment, Wang Xin's attitude was not as firm as before. When he looked at Wang Deyong, his tone was much softer, "Master Wang, I am afraid that this is a foreign plan, so that we can go out of the city to meet him.
Then they are fighting out, and if this happens, even Xincheng will not be able to be saved. If this is the case, I am afraid that we will all die without a burial place."
Wang Deyong didn't listen to what he said before.
But he heard the last sentence very clearly, and his expression couldn't help but change.
Yes, if this is a plan of the three clans, if Xincheng is lost, wouldn't it mean that your life is in danger?
You can fool everyone else, even the officials, but you only have one life, and you must not fool it.
"What can General Wang do about this?" For the sake of his own life, Wang Deyong's attitude was not as tough as before.
"Master Wang, why don't we send some of our troops out of the city to welcome the reinforcements, and leave most of them to continue to defend the city. In this way, even if there is any change among the three tribes, we will not have no defensive power at all, and Xincheng will still have a chance to protect itself.
force."
This is already the best solution that Wang Xin can think of to get the best of both worlds.
Although if you do this, the army sent to the city will probably never return, but it is better than being wiped out and abandoning the city.
Although Wang Xin at this time wanted to drag Wang Deyong to be buried with him and be buried in Xincheng. But he did not dare, because once the war was defeated, the likely result would be that the princes of the dynasty would pass all the responsibilities on
On oneself.
It is very likely that Wang Deyong will be established as a hero, and he will become a sinner.
That
At this time, the Wang family will also be implicated.
This is the tragedy of the Song Dynasty warriors in this era.
