Brief introduction of Haoshuichuan campaign
The Battle of Haoshuichuan is a continuation ceremony of Xixia for four years (Song Kangding was two years, 104 1). Xixia Army attacked Matsui Road and defeated Song Jun in Haoshuichuan (now northwest of Longde, Ningxia).
In February, Li Yuanhao led an army of 1.04 1 10,000 people from southern Zhejiang to Haoshuichuan area. In order to give full play to the advantages of cavalry, Li Yuanhao used the method of air ambush and panic in the air to ambush the main force in Haoshuichuankou, and sent an army to Huaiyuan City (now the partial city of Xiji County, Ningxia) to lure the enemy to ambush Song Jun.
Han Qi heard of Xia Jun's attack, and ordered the deputy of Celebration Road to dispatch Ren Fu and lead tens of thousands of soldiers. After leaving Xia Jun, he waited for an opportunity to break the enemy. On February 14, Song Jun was attacked by Xia Qi before it was formed. Fighting for a long time, Song Jun chaos, in an attempt to resist according to risks. In the garu array, a flag of more than 20 feet was suddenly inserted, Zuo Zuo fell, left and right fell, commanding, left and right flanked, and Song Jun suffered heavy casualties. After Xia Jun won, he heard that Song and Qin sent troops to help, so he returned to Li.
The process of Haoshuichuan campaign
After the war of Sanchuankou, Song Renzong was impressed by Xixia's strength, and ordered Xia Song to be appointed as Shaanxi's special envoy for peace, and Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan as deputy envoys to jointly deal with Xixia's affairs. Han Qi presided over Jingyuan Road, and Fan Zhongyan was responsible for extending the road.
After the Yanzhou War, Xixia troops invaded the northwest of Song Dynasty more and more frequently. In the first month (the second year of Song Kang 104 1 year), in order to contain Xia Jun, Song Ting adopted Shaanxi's suggestion of appeasing Han Qi, and planned to send two armies to fight back. Because Fan Zhongyan, who was also an agreement, disagreed, Injong ordered the ministers to reconsider. Xia Yuanhao attacked the Song Dynasty again while Song Jinbing was undecided.
In February, Jing Zong and Li Yuanhao of Xixia once again led a hundred thousand troops to attack the Song Dynasty on a large scale, ambushing the main force in Haoshuichuankou (now Longde, Ningxia) under Liupanshan, capturing Huaiyuan (now the eastern part of Xiji, Ningxia) and claiming to attack yu zhou (now Pingliang, Gansu).
In February, Li Yuanhao led 1.04 1 10,000 troops from Zhejiang (now Wang Yudong, Tongxin County, Ningxia), crossed Tianduzhai (now Haiyuan, Ningxia), and went south along Wating River (now Hulu River) to reach Haoshuichuan area. In order to give full play to the advantages of cavalry, Li Yuanhao used the method of air ambush and panic in the air to ambush the main force in Haoshuichuankou, and sent an army to Huaiyuan City (now the partial city of Xiji County, Ningxia) to lure the enemy to ambush Song Jun.
Han Qi heard that the Xixia army was coming to attack, so he ordered the assistant commander of Huanqing Road to deploy Ren Fu and lead tens of thousands of soldiers. From Rongjun Town (now Guyuan, Ningxia) through Huaiyuan City and Desheng Village (now Beitai, Xiji County) to Yangmu Longcheng (now northwest of Xinglong Town, Xiji County), after leaving Xixia Army, they waited for an opportunity to break the enemy. If it is not conducive to the war, it will be ambushed according to the danger and intercepted when the Xixia army returns to the division. Ren Fuhe was the commander-in-chief of the berth, and Sang Yi led more than a thousand Qingqi to set out. The money was for Zhu Guan and Wu Ying, the commanders-in-chief of the berth.
On February 13th, I went to Silongchuan (now the northeast of Xiji County). I heard that the police inspector of Zhenrongjun West Road must be fighting the Xixia Army in the south of Zhangyibao (now Zhangyi, Guyuan County), so he turned south and rushed to the battle site. Thousands of Xixia troops were killed, and Xixia troops continued to reinforce. Ren Fujun rushed to the local support, and the Xixia Army pretended to be defeated and was pursued by Song Jun.
I don't know what the plan is, so I'll leave the trench and follow lightly. Dusk. After catching up with Haoshuichuan, Song Jun was tired and hungry because of the long-distance catch-up. Zhu Guan and Wu Ying are in Luochuan (now the lion Luhe in the northwest of Lund). Meet soldier Kawaguchi the next day and join forces with Xia Jun.
On February 14, Ren Fu and Sang Zhou led troops to western Sichuan, five miles east of Yangmulong, and found several silver mud boxes on the roadside. After the box was opened, more than 100 pigeons with whistles flew out, which just sent a converging signal to Xia Jun. Song Jun was not in a line, but was hit by Xia Qi. Fighting for a long time, Song Jun chaos, in an attempt to resist according to risks. Garu array, a banner of more than 20 feet suddenly inserted, Zuo Zuo fell, left and right fell, commanding, left and right flank, Song Jun suffered heavy casualties, Ren Fu and Sang Zhou were killed.
On February 14th, 2004 (the second year of Song Kangding 104 1 year), Zhu Guan and Wu Ying entered Yaojiachuan (the crossroads), and they also fell into the encirclement of Xia Jun. From the beginning of the war to noon, Song Jun was defeated, and Song Jun 10300 soldiers died. Ren's father was seriously injured, and Liu Jin, a primary school, advised him to break through. Ren Fu shouted: "I am a general, defeated, I want to die for my country!" " , then hand from the choke throat suicide.
His sons Ren Huailiang, Sang Zhou, Liu Su, Wu Ying, Wang Jue, Zhao Jin and Geng Fu all died. Among them, Wang Jue, the camp supervisor, led Yang Mulong with 4,500 people to help, and was defeated by Xia Jun. In this campaign, Song Jun was almost completely annihilated, and only 1,000 people under Zhu Guan escaped. After the victory of Xixia army, I heard that Song and Qin sent troops to help, so I returned to Li.
The influence of the battle of Haoshuichuan
This battle, carefully planned by Li Yuanhao and ambushed in advance, lured Song Jun into submission, gave full play to the advantages of cavalry, made a sudden attack and won it in one fell swoop, which was a successful ambush.
Bird assisted Yuan Hao in the Battle of Haoshuichuan in the fourth year (104 1), defeated Song Jun led by Ren Fu and others, and only more than 10,000 people were killed in Song Jun. Looking at Song Jun's body all over Haoshuichuan, Bird, a Xixia strategist, proudly wrote a poem on the wall of Tianxia Temple: "Did you ever shrug your shoulders in Xia and Song Dynasties?" Full of dragons and tigers, the wanderer said that he was a soldier. "I'm proud of myself for getting fame and fortune with the blood of Song Jun, which is beyond words.
In the same year, Bird became an official of the country. He was famous for his success, aiming at destroying the Song Dynasty, and urged Yuan Hao to expand the war against the Song Dynasty, capture the land in Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province, and then move eastward into the Central Plains. At the same time, contact Qidan to attack all roads in Hebei, so that the Song Dynasty was attacked on both sides, which was bound to get into trouble and even collapse.
After the Battle of Haoshuichuan, Bird suggested that Yuanhao send troops to Weizhou and wait for Chang 'an.
Later, Li Yuanhao was full of ambition, claiming that "if he wanted to visit Weishui personally, he would take Chang 'an directly". In the middle of Song Jun's withdrawal, the fathers, brothers and wives of thousands of fallen soldiers held old clothes and paper money to evoke the souls of martyrs, and the bad news spread to Tokyo, "Guan Youzhen, Renzong ate it". In a fit of pique, Song Renzong demoted Xia Song, Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan and other Shaanxi envoys. Prime Minister Lv Yijian repeatedly exclaimed, "World War I is not as good as World War I, but it is terrible! "
At this time, Fan Zhongyan's good friend Teng was working in Zhijiang. He set up a big wine to welcome the soldiers, and set up a sacrifice in the Buddhist temple to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers, so that people's hearts can be stabilized. As a result, he was accused of abusing the minister's money, celebrating the spring of the fourth year and guarding Baling County.
The Battle of Haoshuichuan Ancient Battlefield
In Xinglong Town, Shanjiaji and Chentianyu of Xiji County, when farmers dig a village to prepare soil and dig ditches, they often dig out piles of white bones. According to Shan Jifei's introduction, as early as the mid-1970s, when the production team organized its team members to dig canals, they found a large number of human bones and horse bones, which were buried pit by pit, and the thickness of overlapping bone layers was about 2 meters.
In the cultural relics investigation of 1984, the comrades of the investigation team also found bundles of iron arrows and iron weapons from the bones. 1988, Xiji cultural relics department also collected a bronze helmet used by soldiers in Xixia period in Xiaohe Township (Desheng Village), which is 0/8km away from Xinglong Town/kloc-0. This helmet is an orphan among the cultural relics collected in our region and has high cultural value.
During the period of 1998, the skulls of hundreds of people and horses were found buried in a tunnel in Honggang site of Xiji County Cultural Relics Management Office, and some skulls and horseheads were also inserted with iron arrows. 1999, a skeleton layer with a length of 100 m and a thickness of 1 m was dug up in Xinglong town when repairing the wall of grain depot. Human bones and horse bones are superimposed on each other, which is terrible.
During the third national cultural relics survey in Xiji County in 2009, it was found that the site of Honggang in Yucun, Chen Tian was surrounded by layers of white bones, some of which were several meters away from the cliff top, and some were more than ten meters away from the cliff top. When farmers borrow soil, they also dig out bean celadon lamps, copper (iron) arrows, quaternary gray pottery pots, spurs, porcelain tribulus, generals' pots and pottery.
The iron arrow inserted on the horse's head is about 6 cm long and triangular and diamond-shaped, which proves that the weapon used by Xixia at that time was mainly iron, which is consistent with historical records. With the efforts of the Ningxia Archaeological Team, a series of related cultural relics have been excavated, which further proves that the ancient battlefield of Shuichuan War is located in Wanggou, ChenTianyu and Duyao Village, Xinglong Town, Xiji County, Ningxia.
