Dudolae had to lead a 40,000 army to pounce on Liyuan Fort.

Liyuan Fort was built relatively late, mainly to cooperate with Dashun City. Otherwise, Dashun City would be too thin in front of it, but its area is not small, covering an area of ​​almost 250 acres. Perhaps later generations said that this is not big, but it is not as large as our community. But don’t forget that it is just a military fortress, which is no longer small. The next center of gravity is that Dongguzhai is only more than 60 acres.

As for Fort Meli and Snow Mud Castle, they are pitifully small.

When Fan Zhongyan built Mei Ni (later renamed Meili), Yu Ni (later renamed Xue Ni), and other small villages in Dabacheng, Fan Zhongyan only sent a hundred soldiers to defend. He himself said: If a thief, horses and Daduan invaded, he ordered him to return to the side and defend in Dacheng Village, so that the value would not lead to injustice to trap the soldiers and civilians, and people would feel at ease.

In other words, they only play a role of buffering time. When the enemy comes, these small forts will block and give the people behind them time to escape. Then a hundred or dozens of soldiers will immediately retreat to the nearby fort and fall with it.

But it is not Renduoling Ding's anti-aircraft gun to attack mosquitoes, it is called lion slapping rabbits.

So it was this 250 acres that made Du Du Lae feel a headache. Fortunately, Liyuan Castle is not as disgusting as Dashun City.

In fact, there are still various considerations later.

This ice wall tactic is Yang Liulang and Dashun City. The people of Xixia also learned it. An ice wall was built on the west side of Dashun City and an ice wall was immediately built on the east side. You Song soldiers will stay in Dashun City and don’t come out. But whether it will be successful will be proved if it is successful.

However, in terms of difficulty, the difficulty in Dashun City is actually a little lower. Water is a river or water. Outside the city is a large bunch of yellow soil. Break the hawk ice, use water and some yellow mud, and put it in the plate that had been prepared long ago. After a few hours, the plate is taken down and the ice wall is erected.

But Yang Liulang's method of watering the wall must be carried by the military and civilians onto the top of the city with a load of loads of water and then poured it slowly. It cannot be fast, otherwise it will not turn into ice. It will flow under the city wall and pour into the moat.

Of course, the two war zones have different forms. It is impossible for Hebei to learn Wang Ju's approach of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. Let's ask where Ziwu Mountain came from behind Suicheng. Therefore, the Liao army came, and the people from the suburbs fled to Suicheng together.

So many people will occupy space, but what good way can Yang Liulang have to solve it? However, the people in the suburbs and the people in the city have made the labor more abundant, so Yang Liulang turned the disadvantages into advantages, and carried water to pour the wall into ice.

Obviously, this method is not advisable in Gyeongju, and many fortresses in Gyeongju are difficult to eat. So, enough well water to carry water and water ice?

Dora is not very clear about the stories and calculations behind the scenes.

It just seems that Liyuan Castle will be a little easier to deal with than Dashun City.

But it's really easy to deal with?

It was still early, but the number of troops was too large and the logistics arrangements were arranged, so Dorae had to ask the three armies to camp first, then draw some soldiers to cut down trees, or go to empty villages nearby, demolish the houses, take out the wooden beams and rafters, and prepare to make a siege ladder.

But if these siege ladders are done, they can capture Liyuan Fort?

Just as Duola was racking his brains to attack Liyuan Fort, the Song army of Liyuan Fort was also watching this huge army in the suburbs.

The 40,000 soldiers were almost like a sea of ​​people, squirming outside the city, and this was only part of the invading Xia army. When the timid soldiers looked at it, their faces turned pale.

Yao Yi was also watching. He had too many troops. He was not afraid of having too many troops. He had already known this. However, the large number of troops in Liyuan Fort may have a lot of troops. This may have bad consequences for the entire plan...

Murphy's Law: If you worry about something happening, it's more likely to happen.

Yao Yi was worried about it.

Du Du Lao stared at the city wall of Liyuan Castle for most of the day, but did not come up with any clues.

Not to mention siege ladders, moving the cloud ladders of the Song Dynasty may not necessarily capture Liyuan Fort. Even the dozen tiger cannons seized from the Song army, the small and medium-sized ones were brought to Anjiang Fort, and the other ones were brought to Liang Yimeng to Rouyuan Village. If it could not be captured, it would mean that there would be huge sacrifices.

So he summoned the generals to discuss.

A general said: "General Du Duo, if he forcibly attacks Liyuan Fort, he will have a heavy sacrifice and may not be able to attack in a short period of time."

Sacrifice must be considered, and time must be considered. Don’t attack for a month but still can’t conquer it. Can the 300,000 army wait for a month?

"I'm worried that these are the two."

"The last general has a plan. There seems to be only a few thousand Song Dynasty officers and soldiers in Liyuan Fort, which is not to be afraid. It is better for us to divide our troops to attack Huachi Town."

Outside Liyuan Fort is the Wuchuan Ancient Road, which is the fork of the Daqin Road, so once the Xixia army arrives at the city of Liyuan Fort, they will involuntarily think of Huachi Town.

Another general said in horror: "Did you forget the fate of Ye Fengma after being welcomed by the Nine Corpses?"

After the last battle in Dashun City, Ye Fengma was refrigerated by Xixia, but then Ye Fengma made great contributions when attacking Funing Village as a partial general.

Maybe the people of Xixia now underestimated Ye Fengma, but Ye Fengma's fierceness still forced many people who knew him to admit it.

The Nine Corpses Welcoming Guests, the third update of hell, became a taboo topic for the people of Xixia, and they were defeated too miserably.

There was silence in the tent. After a while, a general said, "That may not be the case. Although Ye Bilma was defeated last time, the magistrate of Huachi this time was a Han civil servant named Ding and did not understand military affairs at all."

The general just now immediately refuted: "But the general stationed in Huachi Town is Liu Yan."

The people of Xixia didn't know much about how many troops Huachi City had, but it was easy to find out what the chief general and the magistrate were. The people of Xixia didn't know how Liu Yan made a contribution to the uprising of Wang Ze in Beizhou, but they all knew how fierce Liu Yan fought in Tieyegou.

"General Essay, this one doesn't work, that one doesn't work. Can we withdraw our troops? Besides, the last time Ye Binma had 20,000 troops, and this time we had 40,000 troops, and the troops under Rouyuan Village were more. Last time it was the clear and cool season of autumn, and the plants were still very prosperous. Now it is the first month. Everything withered and cannot hide the army. Why worry?"

The two started arguing.

One side wants to divide the troops of Huachi City. It is a county town with more materials and supplies, and the people in the city have not withdrawn. They just can't capture it, which will attract the troops from Liyuan Fort to come out of the city to rescue them. Then they can also engage in field battles with the Song army and exert their military strength. As for the danger, it is because of different times and different people in charge of the military, so there will be no danger.

If one side does not agree to divide the troops, the troops are divided too much and are easily defeated by the Song army. Although they are not far away from each other, this area is still dominated by mountainous areas. Although most of them are Liangmao terrain, they are still mountains!

Dudola waved his hand and asked them to stop and said, "In this way, I will take a rest today. Tomorrow morning, Guang will send a scout to Huachi Town for inquiries. By the way, we must also issue scouts and go to Fengchuan Fort to inquire."

"Fengchuan Fort?"

"Qingzhou has limited troops. Now there are many Song troops stationed on the front line. How many will be left behind in the rear? It is not Qingzhou City. Therefore, Fengchuan Fort may have extremely empty troops now. Taking Fengchuan Fort can not only seize materials, food and grass from Fengchuan Fort, but also behind it is Zhiluo County of the Song Dynasty. Then the entire Huachi County and Zhiluo County will have a commotion..."

Not only materials, food and grass, but also so many troops, the more space it takes to operate, the more beneficial it is.

If there are few troops, you can't play like this, but if there are more troops, it doesn't matter if you are careful. Besides, the road conditions are relatively good. Wuchuan Ancient Road directly leads to Fengchuan Fort.

As for the reinforcements in Yanzhou, Dorae had thought about it, but it might not be big.

First of all, how many troops can the Fuyan Road be distributed? The Song Dynasty's rules for stationing troops in Shaanxi were extremely large, but this force was scattered in the fifth route. If Fulin Road is included, it will be the sixth route. Huanqing Road is the same, how many troops will be drawn from this route?

Besides, the front lines in Yanzhou really do not send troops to stay in defense? So they want to provide assistance, and the troops they can extract are ultimately limited. At least in front of the 300,000 Xia army, will this force be drawn or not?

Secondly, according to the previous convention, the Song Dynasty was not used to the cooperation of various groups. Besides, Guo Kui and Han Jiang were secretly fighting, but the people of Xixia didn't know, but they knew that Li Fugui had fought with Guo Kui in order to pursue the crime.

Finally, from a strategic analysis, if Yanzhou sends reinforcements, it is very likely to enter Huachi County, because the effect of entering is not very large. How many troops can be sent, 10,000 or 20,000 people can be sent, what is the point of putting them in front of a 300,000 army? So if they really send reinforcements, that is Jintang City.

As for the tens of thousands of Poche troops, they were all in the real rear, and the people of Xixia knew that they were similar to the previous Volunteers, so they didn't think about it at all.

But wars always happen unexpectedly, so Dorae first sent a large number of scouts. If there is any situation, then consider it. If there is no such thing, then consider it, but then the one who considers the division of troops.

"That's it, everyone rest."

Because Dashun City controlled the avenue, the Xia army had to march from the small road. Not only did they have to march, but they also had to bring out some supplies, food, and other supplies. The road was not far away, but everyone worked very hard. It took a day yesterday to cross Dashun City, and today they officially divided the troops of Liyuan Fort and Rouyuan Village.

The three armies are tired and need to accumulate energy.

On the other side, Liang Yimian also led a large army to the bottom of Rouyuan Village.

Rouyuan Village is located on the alluvial plateau of Wushangu. Don’t consider it, one on the left and one on the right. It is a "dead" ravine, but the two ravines in the front and one on the back ravine are both "living ravines", and of course they have become roads.

The three valleys have a "y" shape, and Rouyuanzhai is located at the intersection point of the y character.

But in general, there are not many tall mountains around, which cannot be used as a barrier. Secondly, this soil plate is too large, and the area occupied by Rouyuan Village is limited, which can give the enemy enough space to attack the city.

But Li Sangou was not afraid.

One of the biggest highlights of this battle is the upcoming battle to defend Rouyuan Village.

The enemy was about to arrive, and the scout came back in a hurry to report: "General Zhao, the enemy is about to come."

"I understand," said Li Sangou.

"But fortunately, the enemy distributed half of the troops to Liyuan Fort."

This means that the pressure on Rouyuan Village has also been reduced by half. But Li Sangou was shocked and said, "Are the people in Xixia crazy?"

The news also came to Yan Da and Zhang Feng. It was not informed by Liu Yan, but the scouts inquired. But the situation became more and more nervous.

Two tragic stories happened in another time and space. Liang Yimian surrounded Luowu City and captured the Dutou Cui Da. Most of them were caught as a scout. They were taken to Luowu City and asked Cui Da to persuade Cui Da to surrender. Cui Da shouted at Luowu City, saying that there are too few thieves, the food is gone, and you should stick to it. Liang Yimian was furious and chopped Cui Da into meat sauce in front of thousands of Song soldiers in Luowu City.

During the attack on Dashun City, Zhang Ji, a soldier guarding the beacon tower, was captured and taken to Donggu Village, asking Zhang Ji to persuade him to surrender. Zhang Ji shouted, "Try hard, there will be no danger in the villages, and you will retreat, and you will not surrender." So Liang Yi was furious and killed Zhang Ji again.

Because of the changes brought by Wang Ju, some of the possible events overlap with the Song Dynasty, and there are many differences, and there will be more and more differences. Therefore, there were no story about Cui Da in Luowu City last year, and even the officers and soldiers of Cui Da were in may not have entered Yanzhou.

Wang Ju can't remember it either. Even if he remembers it, he wouldn't deliberately find a soldier named Zhang Ji, not knowing whether he is in Qingzhou now.

But these two stories illustrate a problem. With the arrival of the Xixia army, the villages were surrounded and blocked, so there was no news from the outside world.

This situation will happen in Gyeongju immediately, and even as an individual scout, he cannot survive in the wild. There are too many enemies, even a ranger who is regarded as a scout will be terrible. Once discovered, you can't survive.

However, there are still many scouts wandering around and then sending various messages to the masters to make the correct judgment.

Yan Da knew about this incident, which was a bit bad.

Zhang Feng was shocked.

Why did Xixia divide half of its troops to Liyuan Fort? Everyone feels wrong? This is a big secret... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
