Chapter 154 Qin Tu's logistics army is attacked! (Second more)
In the end, a minister suggested to the Lord of Xixia that it is better to ask Dajin and the surrounding countries for help.
Although the people of the Song Dynasty only intended to have that small piece of land, it was also a small grain-producing area in Xixia, and the places where grain could not be grown were also fertile and suitable for grazing, and the people of the Song Dynasty should not let the people of the Song Dynasty snatch those lands for nothing!
So Li Renxiao, the lord of Xixia, began to ask for help from the surrounding countries, hoping that someone could help send troops to drive away the Song people.
All of a sudden, a large number of special envoys of Xixia Kingdom rushed out from Xixia Kingdom with the letter of credence of Li Renxiao, the leader of Xixia Kingdom, and asked all the surrounding countries for help.
These Qin Tu didn't know that he was currently attacking Xuanhua Fucheng.
Because the defenders of Xuanhua Mansion had received the news, the Song people stopped fighting and leaving, but began to seize the land in the south of Xixia.
The defenders of Xuanhua City originally planned to escape, but because the defenders of Xiliang Mansion abandoned the city and fled, they were arrested and sent to prison.
Originally, that person had a good plan to take the people away first, and then take them back after Song Jun left. As long as the city is not lost, there will be no problem.
But this time the Song people suddenly refused to return the city, and the guards of Xiliang City were convicted, saying that they fled in fear of war, allowing the Song people to occupy a large city in the Xixia Kingdom without a single soldier. Lose your head.
This put the defenders of Xuanhua City in a difficult position. They would definitely not be able to run away, and they would not be able to defeat them again and again.
He was so worried that his hair turned gray a lot overnight, finally he gritted his teeth, cleaned up the household items, and sent his family and those belongings out of the city to let them escape to the north.
He led his own troops to defend the city, even if he could lead the troops to defend the city for a day, if the Song people attacked too hard, then he would lead his own soldiers and find an opportunity to escape from the city at night.
However, he never dreamed that his original plan to defend the city until dark was completely wrong, when he was studying the strange artillery and trebuchets played by the Song people on the top of the city.
The first wave of bomb attacks by the Song people took away his life and that of most of the soldiers on this city wall.
The Song army only fired two waves of cast iron bombs thrown by trebuchets, and there were no Xixia soldiers who could stand on this wall anymore.
The huge explosion and the scene of blood splattering on the top of the city frightened the remaining Xixia troops below the city.
Before Qin Tu commanded the ladder to attack the city, a white flag suddenly appeared on the head of the originally empty Xuanhua City.
The Xixia general who was waving the white flag shouted while waving the white flag: "Stop fighting! We surrendered, we surrendered!"
Then the gate of Xuanhua City opened and the suspension bridge fell, and those Xixia soldiers walked out of the city one by one, throwing the weapons and leather armor in their hands to the left, and everyone occupied the right side empty-handed and stood still.
This is the first time Qin Tu has seen such an orderly surrender scene, but he remembered what he said by Marshal Xiao, there are still several mineral deposits that require a lot of manpower to mine.
Immediately ordered that 2 people be assigned to take over the surrendered army and collect the spoils, while the rest went into the city first.
Because the Xixia army in the city dared to resist, Qin Tu ordered people to arrest all the dignitaries in the city, except for the people in the city who were not to be harassed, and the homes of those dignitaries were all ransacked.
Now the logistics of the Changsheng Battalion have begun to flow continuously. A large amount of gunpowder and cast iron bombs have been transported from the Song Dynasty to Qin Tu. Qin Tu now has a large reserve of these war materials.
Moreover, there have been soldiers from the rear escorting supplies and bringing back a large amount of goods, which also allowed Qin Tu to concentrate on going west without any worries.
Just like taking down Xuanhua City this time, the soldiers of the [-] Changsheng Battalion who came later to deliver supplies immediately took over the city, and allocated half of the manpower to start transporting goods back and escorting the prisoners in batches.
Because there were 5000 prisoners of war captured this time, Qin Tu left [-] soldiers to help guard the prisoners.
He only revised Xuanhua City for two days, and then led the remaining 3 people to Suzhou City (now Jiuquan) without stopping.
The garrison general here in Jiuquan heard the reports of the defeated troops in Xuanhua City who had fled to him sporadically, and they dared to defend the city and start a war with Qin Tu.
With his own hands, he ransacked the city, and then fled with those treasures. He knew that the imperial court must have no good fruit to eat, so he led his men to become horse bandits.
Qin Tu and others were welcomed into the city by wealthy businessmen and people in Suzhou City. Qin Tu was still wondering why the people here were so devoted to Song Dynasty.
As a result, after listening to the stories of the wealthy businessmen and the common people, I realized that these people wanted to beg me to catch up and kill the fleeing Xixia soldiers.
They didn't want Qin Tu to help them get back those belongings, but they wanted Qin Tu to help them vent their anger, and said that they didn't want those things when they got them back. It was a gift for Song Jun to help, because they were robbed I can't get any money out of it.
When Qin Tu heard that it was time for those people to leave, there was nothing wrong with looting in Suzhou City, and he became angry immediately!
Damn, even if Lao Tzu invaded the city, he only ransacked those dignitaries, this bastard even robbed the common people, and even threatened to become a horse bandit in the future, don't talk about morality or anything!
Qin Tu immediately ordered that all the soldiers of the Zhaodao Battalion with one man and two horses, plus half of the [-] scouts, quickly chase and kill the fleeing guards, do not take prisoners, and kill all those who catch up to Zhujingguan !
The soldiers of the Zhaodao Battalion and the [-] Scout Battalion who received the military order chased and killed them in the direction pointed by the common people.
No wonder these guys are excited, Xiao Qi ordered before coming that Da Song will trade from here in the future, don't kill too much, and save Da Song's caravans of merchants from trouble in the future.
So even though more than 5 Xixia soldiers were killed in the first three wars, Qin Tu did not allow the construction of the Beijing Temple.
The reason why Qin Tu wanted to kill these people quickly this time was because he felt that the people in this city were already Song people, and it was right to help him vent his anger.
Another Marshal Xiao has been emphasizing that this road in the future will be the business route of the Song Dynasty. How could Qin Tu let go of this guy who threatened to become a horse bandit, and even burned, killed and looted the people he once guarded.
It was not until the evening of the fourth day that the Song army, which had less than [-] men and two horses, drove nearly a thousand carts back to Suzhou City, and at the same time brought back the former Suzhou City guard and his men. The head of the lieutenant general.
The people in the city immediately cheered, when they heard that the Song army had caught up with the tens of thousands of people two hundred miles to the north, and killed them all and piled them into Jingguan.
The people in the city actually invited each other to go there to see the Jingguan piled up by the bunch of animals to have a good time.
Qin Tu ordered people to pull over a thousand large carts for inspection, and kept all the valuables. When they saw that they belonged to the common people, they pulled them outside the four city gates, and asked the common people to ask their neighbors to testify, and signed and pledged to take back their own belongings. thing.
As for the nearly [-] carts of grain, it was directly ordered to distribute to the common people on average, two catties per person.
If it is not enough, open other official warehouses so that all the people can receive food.
The common people were very happy now, the food was not robbed from them, but the food in the official warehouse that the guard had taken away, now that General Qin is willing to distribute the food to them, how could it make them unhappy.
Qin Tu has won a very high reputation here in Suzhou City, and the common people have a great sense of recognition for being a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, and they all feel that being a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty is a good thing.
This made Qin Tu very happy, as long as the people in one city turned their hearts towards Song Dynasty, the people in other lukewarm cities would be motivated sooner or later.
Just when Qin Tu strictly restrained his soldiers and forbade them to treat the people roughly in any city, so that the people in other cities could return to their hearts earlier.
A news came that made Qin Tu's lungs explode.
The second batch of logistics troops from Xuanhua Mansion transporting captives and goods to the Song Dynasty were attacked on the way. There were nearly [-] enemies who attacked them. It was true that they were Tubo people in their attire.
Although the [-] soldiers of Changsheng Battalion fought hard with the Tubo people who attacked, they killed more than [-] Tubo people.
But because of the logistical transportation, there were only one thousand cavalry troops, and the remaining two thousand were infantry troops, facing the fierce Tubo cavalry troops who had not received any battle training.
Although the infantry lined up spear formations withstood several attacks from the Tubo people, most of the two thousand infantry were killed or injured!
The thousand cavalry also fought with the Tubo cavalry, which was twice as many as themselves, and nearly five hundred were killed. The rest were all injured, and all the prisoners of war took the opportunity to escape.
Qin Tu was about to explode with anger.
Now they won a city with less than 500 casualties, but this time the logistics was attacked by surprise, and more than half of the 3000 people were killed or injured!
Although more than 3000 Tibetans were killed and countless injured, they had to retreat in the end, but Qin Tu decided to find out who did it, and he wanted to lead the army to wipe them all out!
The second is to ask for a ticket.
