Chapter 1313 Planting Treasures

When Zhong Pu and Li Wenzhao arrived at Dagouyi, they could already hear the sound of gunfire.

To the south of Dagouyi, the Song and Xia armies were fighting fiercely.

When the scouts saw Zhong Pu's army approaching, they couldn't help being surprised and happy: "The Xia people have set up a seven-level dike at the mouth of the gorge. They want to break the dike and fill it with water when my troops approach the city! We don't have enough people. Cao Xiang has already rushed in to control the dike.

Already."

Zhong Pu asked: "Where was the Song army from before?"

The scout said: "That's a part of the Dun'an Army. They floated down the Yellow River on Huntuo. They were originally planning to attack Xingqing Mansion, but they found Xia people moving around Shuikou, so they came to investigate."

"The Xia people discovered them and started fighting immediately."

"Damn! The Duke is really good at predicting things!" Zhong Pu immediately said: "Lead the way!"

Cao Nan was extremely smart and knew that the strength of the new army was its sharpness and toughness, but its weakness was that it was too small in number, so he rushed directly into the mouth of the gorge, seized the embankment, and then deployed about a hundred men at each location to hold on.

The Xia people were caught off guard. When they reacted, they found that the dam they had built had fallen into the hands of the Song army. The defender was shocked.

Fortunately, this Song army was not large in number, so they ordered their men to attack frantically in an attempt to recapture the dike. In the end, they had to break the dike and release the water, which could not be controlled by the Song people.

So fierce battles began at both ends of the seven embankments.

Although the one thousand Zhenguo army in Cao Nan's hands had strong firepower, they were separated in various strategic areas, with only about fifty people at each location. However, the number of Xia people concentrated here to build dams and store water was as high as thirty thousand!

Fortunately, the small group of Dun'an troops also came to join forces, and Cao Nan arranged for them to form a reserve force, with about two hundred people.

This houn'an army was a scout, and they dared to float down from the Yellow River to attack Xingqing Mansion. They were also the best among the best in Su Lie's hands. Their commander was Monk Liu Shiheng, who had performed well in Jiaozhi.

It was an unexpected surprise to meet old comrades in arms. The two sluts even joked with each other. It was so ridiculous that they ran to the edge of the desert to experience the addiction of the Marine Corps!

So Cao Nan handed over the command to Liu Shiheng and went off to fight guerrillas with a magical gun.

This decision played a key role in guarding the seven embankments. The commander of the Xia people was very easy to identify because he was wearing a brocade robe. Just a moment ago, he was wielding a sword to direct the attack, but in the blink of an eye, he was shot in the head by a bullet flying from nowhere.

So is the deputy general who takes over the command.

Those who joined the army in civilian clothes did not escape the same fate.

Once is bad luck, twice is chance, and three times is a curse.

Su You didn't have any sniper tactics, and he didn't understand these military details. When rescue response and action capabilities couldn't keep up, he felt that snipers could only follow his comrades in action, otherwise they wouldn't be of much use.

.

In addition, the Song Army has not yet cultivated a large number of shooters of this level, so Su You did not expect snipers to be the trump card in the battlefield.

So the golden finger of the beheading strategy was clicked by Cao Nan on the side of the Yellow River canal.

As soon as the armies of Zhong Pu and Li Wenzhao arrived, the Xia army, which had no fighting spirit, immediately retreated to Xiazhou.

When I saw Liu Shiheng, Liu Shiheng was taking out the arrow shaft from the injured soldier's shoulder, and then suturing the wound with needles and thread from the first aid kit.

Zhong Pu looked around: "Where is Cao Xiangtong?"

Liu Shiheng also looked around: "I don't know, sneak sniper, who knows where."

Li Wenzhao said to Zhong Pu: "The enemy has a big conspiracy to store water here. The general should immediately send a messenger to inform the Chinese army for future plans."

Zhong Pu pinched his armed belt with his thumb and looked at the seven artificial lakes built by Xia Jun: "Lingzhou is finished this time. The Duke is the ancestor who did this..."

Li Wenzhao asked cautiously: "Isn't Yixi Weishe an expert at playing with thunder and fire?"

Zhong Pu didn't know how to change Su You's image in the hearts of the Tibetan people. After all, the power of thunder cannons was too profound, and it was widely spread among the Tibetan people in the army that Yixi Weishe's thunder method had been upgraded again.

All I could do was chuckle: "Then just wait and see..."

Sure enough, that night Su You learned that the Xia people had surrounded seven large lakes at the mouth of the gorge, and immediately rushed over with his science and engineering team.

After a night of survey and calculation, Su You immediately decided that the West Route Army would leave Lingzhouchuan and change its march route to advance along the river canal.

Along the way, the water mouths of some branch canals were blocked and troops were stationed, leaving only one main canal.

The seven lakes cannot store water permanently. When the army arrived at Lingzhou City, the upper reaches were full of water and rushed along the main canal to Lingzhou, deepening the moat of Lingzhou City by three feet!

Lingzhou was surrounded by floods between the Yellow River and the canal moat, and more than 30,000 Xia troops were completely trapped inside.

Gao Zunyu did not even try to persuade him to surrender. He directly camped at the intersection of the main canal and the moat, with his back to the city and the water facing the dry sea!

The siege of Lingzhou was the signal for the general offensive of the Xia army. Countless Xia troops emerged from the oases and water sources hidden in the dry sea. After being attached to Renduo's few elite soldiers, they began to attack Gao Zunyu.

However, what they didn't know was that the situation and previous expectations had undergone some hidden changes.

For the army on the west route, Su You ordered Su Lie to make a grand display on the north bank of the Yellow River and test the movement in the direction of Xingqing Mansion, so that the army guarding Xingqing Mansion did not dare to move rashly.

However, the real elite hoarding troops dragged their cow hides and came to the mouth of the gorge to guard and protect the river canals.

The main canal has become a waterway, making transportation and response more convenient, and the Chinese army can flexibly deploy and transfer troops along the main canal.

Several branch canals outside Lingzhou City were cut off from water sources by Su You and turned directly into trench fortifications, becoming powerful positions for sniping at the Xia people.

But the defenders in Xiazhou City could only watch all this happening under their noses, unable to get out across the river.

On October 25, the battle first started in Jiurenli, thirty miles southwest of Lingzhou City.

The most powerful general of Xixia, the commander of the Baojing Army, Renduo, was alone, leading 50,000 elites and 70,000 servants, and rushed from Geshuchuan on the Gobi to Lingzhou.

The army encountered a sniper attack by Cao Nan and Liu Shiheng in Jiurenli, but Ren Duo was extremely brave and had the last 2,500 iron kites of the Xia people under his command. After Cao Nan and Liu Shiheng gave Ren Duo Ding a huge blow, they quietly attacked him at night.

Exited Jiurenli.

After the passage was opened, the Xia people poured into Gao Zunyu's Chinese army at the foot of Lingzhou City like a flood.

Gao Zunyu only had three new armies of 15,000 people, the Jingyuan Army of 15,000 people under the leadership of Jingyuan Qianzhong, and Li Wenzhao's leading party army of 20,000 people.

Seeing the Xia vanguard's white horse rushing forward, Gao Zunyu said coldly: "Who will take his head for me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of red-clad Song troops crossed the Quqiao and galloped towards the Xia vanguard.

Among the three, Zhong Zhen's reputation is actually far inferior to that of his eldest brother Zhong Ji and fifth brother Zhong E. Even his younger brother Zhong Yi has a tendency to catch up to him.

Su You was also watching the battle, and when he saw this, he complained to Gao Zunyu: "Why is the manager still using this trick? If he misses, wouldn't it only cause a huge loss of morale?"

Gao Zunyu watched the two groups of cavalry approaching gradually, and said: "The old army's cavalry formation may not be clear about the way of hedging. The Xia people came from afar and were blocked by Cao Nan and Liu Shiheng for a while. When they arrived here, they were already here."

This is the end of a strong crossbow."

"The weather is cold and the water and grass are drying up. This is the season when livestock is at its weakest. The Xia people have been hiding in the Gobi for more than 20 days, and their horses are no longer good."

"And our horses, which have green reserves and feed, are basically unaffected. They have been groomed for several days, and the Duke has defeated their evil plan. It is the time when morale is high and thirsty for battle."
