第一卷第十八回 金戈铁马吞万里(2 / 2)

“锋矢!”宇文胄大喝一声,宋军中大旗挥动,其阵型变动,军卒跑动起来冲向前方。宇文胄带着亲兵左刺右拍,不多时,前方羌族人四散逃跑。

“追!”宋军见统领大胜,精神振奋,兵卒如龙,痛打落水狗。这河谷之中,到处是羌人的跪地求饶声。宇文胄带着几名亲兵,审问受伤的羌族将领。得知前方有羌寨,如今族人四处伏击宋军,羌寨只有几十人守卫。

“传令,留两伍看守俘虏,其余加速前进!”宇文胄感觉机不可失,直接上马,几名亲兵快速整理队卒,擂鼓跑步前行。

行的两个时辰,来到另外一处峡谷。

只见这峡谷深处,流淌着一条清澈溪流,羌人依山居止,垒石木为屋,高者至数丈。数名羌人正楞楞的看着冲来的宋兵,看来羌人也没有想到,居然有宋兵会直捣老巢。

峡谷里,羌人拒不投降,进行了激烈的反抗。不少宋兵受伤。宇文胄看着眼前,这是数十名老弱妇幼啊!他强压着心头不忍,招手亲兵组织弓弩队。

“列阵!”号旗挥动几下,数十名宋兵立刻上前半蹲。

“张弩!”弩声张弦响起。

“哐!”亲兵挥动鸣锣一声。

“噗呲!噗呲!”弩箭射出,箭速很快,抵抗的羌人倒下了,羌寨里已经浓烟四起。

“宋军官爷,行行好,给口吃的。”数十名裹破羊皮的西夏部落之民,在宋军营门外,衣衫褴褛,老弱不堪,瘦骨伶仃,菜容满色。

“你们在那跪着别动,天亮来人甄别后给你们吃的!”营门箭楼上,数十名宋卒拔刀控弩严阵以待,一名火长喊道。

“多谢各位军爷!”那群西夏部民跪伏地上。

西夏国,一个部落以弱小的兵力,占据了无边河地区。这里正是河西走廊,自秦朝统一立国后,汉唐素来被中原定位为战略国土。但凡是继承中原正统的历代皇朝,均重视此地战马资源。宋朝开国就是延续中原正统,因此收复燕云之前,这占据河西走廊的西夏,就成了中原王朝不共戴天之仇。赵佶登基后年轻有为,延续神宗和哲宗两帝战略路线,择地筑垒,夺取天都山,设法控扼横山,据形胜以逼夏,令西北各路军民,积极寻求战机,做出强硬灭夏的态势。年前,北宋西北边地军民,用二十二天,在石门江口和好水河南岸,成功抢建平夏城和灵平寨。当年泾原路经略使章楶,准备足够筑城砖石木料,令西北其余各路宋军佯攻,分散西夏军注意力。郦延路经略使吕惠卿,令部将偷袭横山;河东路经略使孙路,积极占领天都山的盐州;熙河路经略使武将王文郁,在汝遮谷建堡寨,这座保护通远军生命线的关垒,被哲宗赐名安西城。熙河路经略使钟传则拓展兰州外围,在黄河北岸建筑金城关,威胁西夏的右厢兵。平夏城的设立,转变了宋夏两国战略态势。从此,宋军在西夏边境筑寨深入,四处建关设垒,天都山附近小股部卒日夜出兵,招抚西北。

战争打的就是国力,大宋兵粮钱足。西夏部族出兵自备兵器和战马,抢粮食。大宋各地军粮堆积如山,霉烂不计其数。宋军配发硬枪强弓,兵卒日食两斗,月薪三万钱。两相对比之下,很多西夏国部族之民,夜间翻山越岭,悄然向宋军投降,入伍裹腹。

大宋历来优渥西北降民,三十年前,舒国公王安石时期的王韶,任秦凤路经略司机宜文字。此孤胆书生文武双全,遣兵派将远赴西北,亲身夜宿敌营,招降十二万青塘族。熙宁二年,首领俞龙坷携十二万内附归被赐姓。骁勇善战的文官王韶,招降边民三十余万,拓地熙州、岷州和洮州等千里西北,为宋帝开边西北的美谈。如果不是金国的崛起,打断了中原王朝进程。凭借陇右源源不断的战马,大宋未必不能一统河西走廊,会猎北方草原的射雕英雄。

“年少武勇,敢深入羌寨,不错!”宋军关垒上,一名戴铁兜的将领看着手中的军报,感叹一声,反身回了军营,此人正是赫赫威名的折可适将军。

正午,烈日高照,宋军的军营里,正在为朝廷御使接风洗尘。众多文官武将聚首,诸如郭成、郭祖德、王愍、姚雄、姚古、、杨可世、韩世忠、高永年、王恩以及西北众将门之首折可适,正招待枢密院的传令使。折可适伸手举碗豪饮一口,流水顺着胡渣留了下来。当年战西夏于灵州川时,折可适部卒奋勇而胜,威传天下,诸将拜服。

去岁夏日,十万宋军齐出,在十日内筑成八座堡寨。沿着横山绵延三百余里,鄜延、河东和麟府三路连成新防线,将党项西夏驱向沙漠。为控制新占领地,在葭芦寨设立晋宁军。环庆路经略司在横山兴建三座重要堡寨,另于距西夏韦州监军司仅十里处,在沙漠边缘筑军寨。

如今西北宋军各部,实控天都山和横山,宋夏攻守易势。新皇下旨让西夏国赔罪,押送西夏名将布默玛和凌吉讹裕到西北,让西北诸军看护战犯,着西北派军护送青唐土司,回青唐收拢旧部。这西北驻军辛苦,但是战意昂扬,听闻吐蕃旧地青唐城附近出现叛逆,每月上书请战新皇出兵。新皇言,羌人自有青唐土司收抚,而西北党项方为重防之地,是以赐御酒给西北众将官,枢密院传令使随行,众将也跑来问候枢密院使,询问朝廷今岁是否起兵灭夏。
