1310. Crossing the Battle of Yokoyama (Part 1)
Inside the military camp outside the city.
Heliancheng sat upright on the main seat. On the left and right sides of it were more than ten generals, and several Tingchao Mansion with swords on their backs.
On the desk in front of Heliancheng, there is a yellow-bottomed map. The map is full of gullies and ravines, which are detailed pictures of the Baima Qiang Town Military Office in the Western Xia territory.
Crossing the Hengshan Mountain is like a giant beast, guarding the level.
Helian City had already marked a large black circle on the pattern of the city representing Hengshan Ferry. At this time, he was staring at the circle in a daze.
Although his commander had enough firearms in his imperial guards at this moment, generals often demanded to win in a simpler, faster, and effortless way.
The same is true for Heliancheng.
If there is a mountain road around Hengshan Crossing that can be used for traveling, and the army can be allowed to surround the Hengshan Crossing, it is naturally the best thing to do.
Unfortunately, there is no such a path on the left and right sides of Hengshan Ferry.
Heliancheng not only studied the map, but also asked local people about it. If you want to go to the military commander of Baimaqiang Town, you can only cross the Hengshan Ducheng.
Gradually, a look of struggle appeared in Heliancheng's eyes.
He probably made the final decision. Since there is no other shortcut to choose, he can only attack Hengshan Cross.
At this moment, several generals were about to come in outside the tent wearing armor and armor.
The leader is Zhongsun Zhouting.
He and Heliancheng each led 40,000 imperial guards. Although Heliancheng was the commander and he was the deputy commander, in fact, they were each commanding their own military and horses.
This will make the army more flexible and changeable, which is also a common thing in this era.
As soon as he entered the tent, Zhongsun Zhouting said to Heliancheng: "General Helian, the bandits in the Daxia in the city are still not moving. Do you see if we are..."
Heliancheng frowned slightly and nodded, "I have this intention. Only the Daxia bandits cannot stand firm, so I am afraid that the preparations in the city are quite perfect!"
"hehe!"
Zhongsun Zhouting chuckled, "So what if they are fully prepared? Can they still block the grenade launcher?"
Then he said quietly: "And I have a different view from General Helian."
"oh?"
Heliancheng was slightly surprised, "I hope to hear the details."
Zhongsun Zhouting glanced at everyone in the tent and said, "Our army came with great fanfare. I thought the enemy should have known that our army had borrowed grenade launchers, dragon guns and other objects from the Song Dynasty, so they did not dare to go out of the city to fight."
Heliancheng was slightly moved when he heard this, and couldn't help but show his joy, "General Zhongsun is right, this possibility is really great."
Then he stopped hesitating and shouted in a deep voice: "All the generals obey the order!"
All the generals under Heliancheng in the tent were handed over, "The last general is here!"
Heliancheng smiled and looked at Zhongsun Zhouting and said, "General Zhongsun, then I will be the main attack tomorrow. You are here to support me, how about?"
He suddenly remembered that he still had to take into account Zhongsun Zhouting's ideas.
If he directly ordered the generals to prepare to attack the city, then Zhongsun Zhouting would still think that he wanted to seize the merits.
Immediately afterwards, he said, "If General Zhongsun wants to attack, it's OK. I will lead the army to support him."
"hehe!"
Zhongsun Zhouting chuckled again when he heard this, "General Helian, please lead the army first! I, Zhongsun Zhouting, is not such a petty person."
He obviously understood what Heliancheng meant. The latter sentence also made Heliancheng have no worries.
This battle is of vital significance to Xixia. At this moment, he did not intend to care about the credit.
It is only necessary to win in the end. No matter how good or bad the merits are, with his and Heliancheng's status in Xixia, it is already difficult to climb up any further.
The two of them are already the two most powerful and famous generals in the Western Xia army. At the same time, they are also the highest-ranking generals.
Heliancheng nodded vigorously when he heard Zhongsun Zhouting say this, "Then let's work together to destroy all these rebels!"
“This is natural!”
Zhongsun Zhouting smiled and nodded, bowed to Heliancheng again, and then left with the generals.
He came over and just wanted to get along with Heliancheng. He felt that the attack on Hengshan Du no longer needed to delay.
The army camped in the wild, and the food consumed countless times every day.
The next day.
It was just when the sky was slightly bright, and smoke was already everywhere in the camp outside Hengshan Ferry. Of course, the same was true for the previous two days.
This time, after the army had breakfast, it did not practice anymore. Instead, led by Heliancheng, he headed towards Hengshan Crossing Pass.
The cold wind is bleak, and the flags in the army are flying.
The soldiers of the Western Xia imperial guards under Heliancheng were all holding dragon guns, and some soldiers were carrying grenade cannons and sky-rushing cannons, which seemed quite energetic.
Many of them have seen the power of these Great Song firearms before, and now there are such firearms in the army. Of course, they think it is inevitable to break the Hengshan Crossing.
Zhongsun Zhouting also led more than 10,000 soldiers out of his camp.
He only reached about two miles in front of the camp and stopped moving forward.
Although there are 50,000 Daxia soldiers and horses in Hengshan Ferry, everyone thinks that with Heliancheng's 40,000 imperial guards, it should be more than enough to break the Hengshan Ferry.
No one knew that at this time, a general of Daxia standing on the top of Hengshandu City looked at the winding imperial guards in Helian City, but there was a grin on the corner of his mouth.
There were only dozens of gunfire chariots on the top of the city wall, but judging from his appearance, he was not worried at all. This was undoubtedly not normal.
Gradually, Heliancheng led the Western Xia imperial guards to the city.
Facing the towering Hengshan Crossing City Wall, the soldiers in the army were all slowly moving forward.
Heliancheng raised his head and looked at the city, shouting at the city: "Where is Wu Shangyun!"
The main general who had just smiled grimly stepped forward and took two steps, "Wu Shangyun is here! I wonder what General Helian is saying!"
He was the cousin of Wu Deng, the head of the Wu family, and was also the former deputy commander of the Baimaqiang Town Military Department. He was considered a general with great power and reputation throughout the Western Xia country.
Although Heliancheng was the commander of the imperial guards, he was really just a junior in front of Wu Shangyun.
Seeing Wu Shangyun answering, Heliancheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "General Wu, our major families in Xixia are all in common. In the past, the capitals of the late emperors of all dynasties treated us well. We were grateful and finally restored our country, so we should have loyally assisted Your Majesty. Heliancheng heard that General Wu was a loyal and righteous man, and he had made great contributions to the restoration of the country. But now, why are you a thief?"
Wu Shangyun on the top of the city snorted coldly, "The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook! The empress does not care about our hard work and intends to destroy our family. How can we wait for death?"
In fact, he is really as Heliancheng said, a very loyal and righteous general. Before that, he had indeed worked hard for the restoration of the Western Xia country and made considerable contributions.
But now, Wu Shangyun undoubtedly has deep resentment towards Li Xiushu.
In his opinion, the four major military officials were forced to treason by Li Xiushu. I didn't expect that Li Xiushu was like this, but it was because Wu Deng and others had strange intentions.
These people, who restored the country, are just seeking benefits for their families.
Wu Shangyun is in the military command of Baimaqiang Town, and is also a member of the Wu family. Even if he has a loyal and righteous heart, he will inevitably be deceived and assimilated.
Heliancheng sighed in his heart when he heard Wu Shangyun say this. He knew that it would be meaningless to continue talking.
Since the four major military commanders and the imperial guards were both defeated on Lintao Road, there has been no room for a turnaround between the two forces.
He bowed to the top of the city and shouted coldly: "Since that's the case, that's all I can do is offend!"
Wu Shangyun snorted coldly again, "Just let the horse come over!"
Both of them are people who have internal energy, and this conversation seems quite passionate.
"Grenade Hand!"
Heliancheng raised the spear in his hand and shouted loudly.
On the side are soldiers on the female carriage shaking the flag.
Hundreds of soldiers ran to the front of the army in an instant.
Many soldiers carried grenade launchers on their backs. When they arrived in front of the army, they hurriedly drove the grenade launchers to the ground.
At the top of the city, Wu Shangyun also waved to the back.
A soldier brought many boxes from the city.
Along the city, a general led his soldiers to run over and opened the box, and his face was filled with excitement.
