Huangzhou falls!

The corpses were everywhere, men, women, young and old, and all over the place.

A girl under eleven years old died in the street in a strange way. She was not cut to death, but her head was trapped in a lot. It was obviously because she was pushed down and stepped to death in a mess.

However, a heavy rain diluted the bloody smell at this time. After the rain washed away, the blood color of Huangzhou faded a lot.

The Tubo people's cities are not even called cities, and the city walls are low and down. Given the Tubo people's bravery and good fighting, no one has ever thought that Huangzhou would be lost so soon.

The Western Xia general Zhuo Luolan believed that in addition to Dong Jie being too useless, the flintlock rifle was also too unique. It is true that the Tubo people are brave and good at fighting, but it is also true that they are brainless. Although the flintlock rifle has advantages, Zhuo Luolan firmly believed that if they were against the Western Xia Iron Cavalry, there would be no such effect.

Because the Tubo people's cavalry that lacked long-range strikes and liked to rush around with all their strength, it would be very lethal to the cowardly troops, but they would give copper in front of experienced and morale elite musket troops.

Zhuo Luolan, who was carrying the Xixia version of the divine arm crossbow and rode on a horse to enter the city with Manme, although he was used to the bloody scene, he never thought that it would be like this? There were too many people who died. Although he could not reach the massacre of the city, it was almost bloody.

Unfortunately, the Xixia army suffered certain losses in the Battle of Huangshui Chakou, and the offensive and defensive battle in Huangzhou was also more tragic due to the fierceness of the Tubo people. In order to shock the general who rushed to participate in the war, Manme issued an order that was almost massacre of the city.

Now, Huangzhou, which was finally built to look like a city, was beaten to pieces in this battle, and the city was also ordered to be demolished.

Manme is the chief marching manager this time, and Zhuo Luolan has no choice but to watch him make a mistake.

Zhuo Luolan dared not talk about pills, but such a bloody policy will really make enemies and will be extremely unfavorable to future conquests.

If you have short-term interests and want to take it away, it seems like this is barely feasible? However, there is no need to raise political and diplomatic hatred, and there is no need to start the national war with great fanfare.

If you really want to take this opportunity to take over the Hehuang area in one go, maintain military existence, become the long-term interests of Xixia in the future, and to maintain long-term stability, then it is obvious that Manme’s military strategy is absolutely wrong. This is Zhuo Luolan’s understanding.

According to earlier rumors, neither Wushu nor Wushu had supported the sending troops to Tubo. Even if the empress dowager was forced to send troops, it would be impossible for the empress dowager to allow Manme to launch such a policy. Therefore, based on the ambiguous politics of Xingqing Prefecture, the young emperor who was eager to try the order to conquer, Zhuo Luolan had reason to think that Manme accepted the bloody policy instructions of the young emperor of Xixia this time.

Riding war horses, the army entered the city, and sometimes screams could be heard from some places. This was inevitable that Huangzhou had fallen, but there would still be fierce and unyielding Tubo people fighting street battles and resisting.

As early as the great victory of the Huangshui Chakou Campaign and Dong Wen was defeated and his morale was low, Manme only passed the Tengger Desert. At that time, Zhuo Luolan could advance quickly and launch the Huangzhou Campaign in advance, but he deliberately slowed down one step, not wanting to have too many casualties or kill too many people to leave hidden dangers for the future.

The prodigy in Song Dynasty had a famous strategy that was better than to lose weight. At that time, Zhuo Luolan wanted to use the method of slow approaching and forced Dong Wen to take the initiative to give up Huangzhou and take down Huangzhou to repair it in a reduced bleeding posture.

In fact, Dong Ji did start to retreat, but unfortunately, the mysterious Manme Qisan Jingqiu appeared behind Dong Ji's retreat team to block the attack. Dong Ji's troops were frightened and gave up their retreat and regained their bloody resistance in Huangzhou, a city that was almost not a city.

So there was such a situation, and Zhuo Luolan was scolded by Manme for this.

Continuing to listen to the screams caused by street fighting, Zhuo Luolan Manme brought a group of generals into the military tent.

"General." Zhuo Luolan stood up to greet him, "I think we can temporarily slow down the pace of progress. Our deterrence against the Tubo people in the battle of Huangzhou is enough. With the arrival of the rainy season, the efficiency of the flintlock gun tactics will undergo subversive changes. I think we can stay in Huangzhou area to rest and recuperate, and at the same time accumulate food and grass for future conquests."

Man Mi waved his hand and scolded, "I am carrying the emperor's life, and there is not so much time for you to delay. The so-called soldiers are very fast. The great victory in Huangzhou's offensive and defensive battles, annihilated half of Dong Ji's power. It is precisely based on the marching speed of our general, and the impossible time comes to Helan Mountain and pass through Tenggeli. Yu Si Luo is too cautious and Dong Ji is stupid. Otherwise, the price of this battle will be unimaginable."

After a pause, he said again: "While you repair, the Tubo people are also repairing. There are variables in the situation in the Song Dynasty. Now Fu Bi is in charge of the priest, and he has always supported Yusilu. If the Song State intervenes at this time, it will be even greater. It can be seen from the battle of the bandit suppression of the Three Mountains and Seven Villages that the combat power of the Song army today is different from other periods. The longer it delays, the more unfavorable it is for us. We must defeat the Tubo people as quickly as possible. Before the intervention of diplomatic politicians from various countries, we will form the fact that we effectively occupy the Hehuang area. This is the will of His Majesty the Emperor of Xixia."

Except for the generals of Zhuo Luolan's army and the Southern Army, the other generals quickly stood up and shouted: "The Western Xia army will never give up, and will wait to follow the general to advance!"

Two great victory in the battles, and encouraged by this situation, many intermediate officers also planned to shout.

Zhuo Luolan hurriedly raised his hand and stopped, "Let's wait."

Manme narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you want to say? The border army has always been not managed by Grand Master Lu, and he is slanderous. Zhuo Luolan, have you been instructed by someone to deliberately drag my King of Xixia down?"

Zhuo Luolan was embarrassed. According to the political situation, the border army was indeed affected to the greatest extent, which is recognized. However, the emperor's edict had been issued. When he went to fight against foreign countries, Wu Erpang would dare to issue an order to drag his feet, so this was really unfair.

Zhuo Luolan hurriedly said, "General, it is not that Zhuo Luolan is dragging his back. But military analysis, our army's purpose is to effectively control the Hehuang area, not to just take one hand, which has caused too many people to go to the expedition. Now the two ministries have joined forces with each other, and the Gansu Army Division who are heading south, as well as the Renduo tribe, will see that it will reach 70,000 in the future..."

Manme interrupted: "Do you be careful when there are too many people?"

Zhuo Luolan shook his head and said, "That's not what the last general means, but the disadvantage of the large number of people is that the number of people is large. The rainy season is basically coming. In addition to the inconvenience of using the flintlock rifle, it also brings great pressure to the supply of our army's logistics line. Now it is a national war, with the purpose of controlling occupation. The last general recommends a steady move, observe the situation of all parties and gradually advance, slow down the dispatch of troops, and accumulate more grain."

Although Manme was of the same personality as Li Liangzuo, he was more tyrannical but not stupid, he couldn't help but feel stunned and said, "Let's talk."

Zhuo Luolan said: "In the visible future, after joining the Gansu Army Department, our army will form a huge army formation, with cavalry as the main one. Roughly calculate, the daily food and grass required by 70,000 cavalry is at least 250,000 jin. During this period, both the forage and the grain are basically inconsistent. Moreover, the logistics line for supplying the daily 250,000 jin of grain and grass is too far, and it will cost at least 100,000 auxiliary soldiers and civilians."

Speaking of this, the female general Zhuo Luolan walked to the side with a magnificent figure and pointed to the military area map and said: "Our army goes north and east, there is a large unmanned area. Now that the herdsmen's horses have been taken away, they cannot afford to form a stable supply line. So only the northwest, Jisang and Xiliang Prefecture line can barely supply, but the efficiency is too low, and they will almost empty their people's strength and food. In addition, if Xining Prefecture in Wei Siluo is not taken down for a day, and it is also cavalry, our army's supply line from Xiliang Prefecture is facing a great threat."

Manme said lightly: "You are right, I have already considered it. It is because our army cannot afford to delay, that His Majesty the Emperor issued a quick battle order."

Zhuo Luolan hurriedly said: "It is impossible to achieve a quick battle and a quick decision. There may not be too much military pressure, but the logistics supply is fatal and there is no safe source. Finally, we will recommend that we wait until the summer grain and forage in the Hehuang area are abundant, to repair the army, to appease the civilians in Huangzhou for my use, and to gradually advance after the rainy season?"

Manme stood up and waved his hand and said, "It's too slow, it doesn't benefit the prestige of His Majesty. Food and grass are of course a problem, but wherever our army passes, we collect grain on the spot, and those who are not convinced must be killed. Xining Prefecture must be taken as soon as possible to ensure the safety of our army's logistics line from Xiliang Prefecture."

Zhuo Luolan couldn't help but change his sarcasm: "No!"

Manme narrowed his eyes and said, "Who did you receive orders? What's your intention? And you can't?"

Zhuo Luolan wanted to cry anxiously and defended himself: "The general calmed down. There were indeed food reserves in the Hehuang area, but they were poorer than the Song people. Our troops were cavalry, and they collected grains on the spot during the combat process. Assuming that the safe and effective grain collection radiation radius was fifty miles. Assuming that the population of Hehuang area was abundant, but if the sky was over, the circle of a hundred miles was less than 10,000 people. In this period of time when the sky was not connected, they would have thirty kilograms of food reserves each person. That is to say, our army's daily office

The 250,000 kilograms of food and grass needed should be taken from them, which is almost equal to the Three Lights. Such a policy will inevitably bring great resentment and bloodshed. This is not conducive to our military existence in the Hehuang area of ​​Xixia. The general may wish to observe the core strategy of King Song in detail. The core of his victory in the Three Mountains and Seven Villages is to rely on the hearts of the people. When the Yeshila did not do badly, if our army adopts a bloody promotion policy in this area, Zhuo Luolan asserted that this conquest will be defeated!"

Manme couldn't help but get up with a dark face.

Maybe this damn girl said something, but now Manme is afraid of hearing the name Wang Rong. The boy bewitched the queen mother and the queen mother, and he wandered between the Grandmaster and the queen mother with three sides. The most shameless thing is that during the battle to suppress bandits in the Three Mountains and Seven Villages, Manme personally brought Iron Harrier volunteers to participate in the command. This was the first battle with Wang Rong, but he eventually lost to the Funing Army with absolute superior force.

Because of this, Manme was alienated to a certain extent by the empress dowager. Her unyielding personality and painful skin, Manme became annoyed when she heard Zhuo Luolan bringing out the playboys from the enemy country as an example.

Smack

Manme walked down and slapped Zhuo Luolan hard.

Even if Zhuo Luolan was not weak, he was beaten around and bleeding from his mouth.

The border army has never been able to stand the superiority of Iron Harrier, and even more hates the silly and rich dandy soldiers of the Guards, so many generals of the Southern Army Division stood up and glared.

"Are you going to rebel?" Manme narrowed his eyes, and the arches of the Iron Harrier's personal guards around him were lifted up one after another.

He didn't want to make a fuss too rigid, so Zhuo Luolan raised his hand to stop the impulsive behavior of his subordinates.

Although Manme was tyrannical, he was not stupid. He also raised his hand in time to stop the behavior of his Tie Yaozi's personal guards, so the tense atmosphere gradually eased.

Manme said again: "The strategy of speed advancement remains unchanged. You must take Xining Prefecture as soon as possible and drive the sagelo troops back to the Qinghai Lake line. Only by occupying Xiliang Prefecture can we ensure the safety of our army's logistics line from Xiliang Prefecture. So under this strategy, what good tactics does General Zhuo Luolan have?"

Zhuo Luolan didn't want to follow him crazy at all. He would ruin his tribe's lives if he couldn't win the battle, so he said lightly: "The general has nothing to say. Since the general can do everything, how to fight is your general's responsibility."

"Hahaha."

Several of Zhuo Luolan's confidant generals burst into laughter, which caused the guard generals and the Iron Harrier General to glar.

Manme couldn't help but twitch his cheeks slightly, thinking for a while, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys go out, how to fight, just accept the command of me."

Zhuo Luolan left the military tent without saying a word, and with his confidant generals annoyed.

Manme narrowed his eyes and murmured: "The one who will be troubled by the world in the future will be this thief."

Similarly, Zhuo Luolan, who came out, also looked back at Shuai Chan and said, "If you are in trouble in the future, you must be a man. This turtle son will not fight at all. He will destroy the military and political plan of the Grand Tutor."

To say this, Zhuo Luolan had no choice. Now the political situation in Xingqing Prefecture has changed drastically. Originally, the Taishi and the Empress Dowager fought to the same level, but now the little emperor suddenly had the heart to try to rule. Wu Zi's Taishi naturally opposed it, but Wu Zi's Queen Mother was in a dilemma.

Depending on the situation, the Queen Mother didn't want the little emperor to take charge of the rule for the time being, but she couldn't bear to stand on the side of the Grand Tutor to suppress the emperor. After all, she was her son. So it was really chaotic now. I hope that the army will not be cheated due to political inconsistency, otherwise the brothers would cry and be blind.

The rain keeps falling.

Zhuo Luolan, walking in the rain, was sobered by the heavy rain. He vaguely felt that the Song people who liked to do business would definitely not sit idly by and watch the Hehuang area fall into the hands of the Xixia. So Wang Anshi has a certain influence now, and it is very likely that Wang Rong will intervene, which will be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Luolan had to admit that Manme had to fight quickly and did not want to delay, and there was a reason for him.

It makes sense but only makes sense. Whether it can be done or not is the reality. Zhuo Luolan believes that if he does not seek merit, he only wants no mistakes. Even if King Song Wang intervenes in Zhuo Luolan, he is not afraid. On the contrary, he is eager to try and fight a promiscuous battle with the prodigy to measure how many bones he has.

But once you are anxious about anything, there will definitely be loopholes and tricks. And that legendary little brat is best at lurking insidiously to find other people's loopholes. He has a famous saying: A real master is not about competing with who is better, but about who makes fewer mistakes...
