"We're in big trouble." Wei Ming Ah Wu said to his subordinate generals very seriously: "Song Dog has Lei Gong's help, and we are afraid that it will be difficult to fight!" ”

All the generals looked disgraced, and they really couldn't raise the interest to cheer themselves up, having just lost the battle.

Nearly 1,000 people were lost just by taking a look, and this was only the direct damage of the lightning strike, trampled by the panicked war horses, the crowding of people caused them to be trampled into flesh, and the loud sound of the lightning strike made the seven holes bleed, injuring the internal organs, and there were countless people left behind by the pursuit of the Song army.

This one face dealt a big blow to the Tangut people.

"Lord Warden, I have a plan!" Suddenly, a general said.

"Will the plan be released?" Wei Ming's eyes lit up, and he looked at him and asked earnestly.

The general said in a deep voice: "My lord, now that our army is surrounded by enemies on all sides, the cunning Song Dog will definitely send people to intercept the rear of our army. Although it is not difficult to defeat them on the frontal battlefield, looking at the city of Song Dog, the banners are displayed, and there must be a lot of garrisons.

If our army storms Yanzhou City, it will definitely be a protracted battle.

And Song Gou, who went around to the rear of our army, if he cut off the supply of food and grass to our army, my army would probably have to fight alone, and he would have to go hungry.

Youdao is difficult to support alone, and Song Dog's reinforcements will also arrive soon. Now, the most suitable strategy is to retreat in order to gain momentum! ”

Wei Ming Ah Wu stared, and said in his heart that there is no reason to retreat if there is a war in the world? But he didn't want to speak yet, and the rest of the generals agreed: "Very good! ”

"Reasonable!"

"I agree!"

Wei Ming Ah Wu knew that this guy was scared, but in fact, he was right about one thing. Song Gou has always been well versed in the defense of the city, and every siege battle will evolve into a battle that cannot be attacked for a long time and consumes a huge amount.

And when Song Gou was defending the city, he was very good at exchanging the greatest casualties of the Xia army at the minimum cost. This is also the reason why the Xia soldiers in Sanzhai on the middle road and Qingjian City on the east road are numerous, but they are besieged but not attacked.

Don't look at the fact that they only have 3,000 people, if they really fight, 10,000 people may not be able to pull out a walled fort.

Moreover, there is no need to capture these places strategically this time. Wasting limited resources in unnecessary places has always been taboo in soldiers.

Therefore, the general was right, the longer he stayed in Yanzhou, the higher the probability of being cut off from the back of his ass.

And Song Gou carried out the clearing of the strong walls in Shaanxi, and they did not loot any food along the way, and they all relied on their own supplies to fill their stomachs.

If you want to go south, you have to grab a piece of land, but there is an eleventh Song army in front of you, and it is not so simple to go south.

After thinking about it, Wei Ming Ah Wu was afraid of his own back road and was afraid of himself

Unable to return home, he decided to take the general's advice and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.

But they did not retreat immediately, but after maintaining a safe distance from the Song army, they stalemate until night before quietly retreating.

In the middle of the night, it was dark, which was not conducive to combat. Unless there is a night attack, but the Song army has the upper hand and will not make such a risky move.

Therefore, until the next morning, when the soldiers and horses of the Six Routes attacked the camp of the Xia army, they found that the camp was empty, and there was not even the embers on the ground to make a fire.

Everyone knew that this was Xia Jun who escaped at night, so they immediately sent someone back to report to Lu Huiqing.

Lu Huiqing was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered the three armies to pursue immediately, even if they couldn't leave people behind, they would bite off a piece of meat on their buttocks.

Those who come are guests, and they can't come in vain.

The Xia army stationed outside Qingjian City also began to retreat, and the three Xia troops converged in the middle road. Thinking of the suffocation he suffered outside Yanzhou City, his eyes were on the Jinming Village in front of him.

The Jinmingzhai garrison is only 2,800 people, compared to Yanzhou City, it is simply a soft persimmon that comes out of the water at the first touch. However, when the attack really began, Wu collapsed.

Explosions and thunders rang out in the Xia army's military formation, and they encountered the strongest resistance from the defenders of Jinmingzhai.

The army of 500,000 killed red eyes in Jinming Village. Two full days have passed since the siege of Jinmingzhai, and the Tanguts have paid the price of 30,000 people, and they still haven't gnawed this seemingly soft hard bone.

Wei Ming Ah Wu didn't believe that the Song army was already strong to this extent, or that the Xia army was already weak to such a point, even if the Song army had Lei Gong's help, he still ordered the soldiers to start attacking.

After two days, Lei Gong's interest in this battle gradually weakened. The previous stream of bombing mines had become intermittent, and in the end, they only exploded occasionally, and the frequency became less and less.

In line with the principle of taking advantage of your illness and asking for your life, Wei Ming Ah Wu ordered his subordinates to continue to attack Jinming Village.

However, the resistance of the Song army in Jinmingzhai was still strong, and the battle dragged into the early morning of the third day.

After Lu Huiqing gave the order, the soldiers and horses of the Sixth Route went separately to explore the direction of the Xia army's retreat.

Due to the large number of Xia troops, when Wei Ming Ah Wu retreated, he thought that the Song army would come to pursue, so he tried his best to avoid leaving traces, and he even sent a group of people to be responsible for creating fake traces and dealing with traces that were easy to expose.

Under this misdirection, it took half a day for the soldiers and horses of the Sixth Route to figure out the middle of the Xia army's move, and the report of the scouts afterwards also confirmed this.

So the soldiers and horses of the Sixth Route spent half a day marching to the middle road, and stayed at a place one hundred and fifty miles away from Jinmingzhai on the night of the first day to rest and make up

To give.

Setting off early the next morning, the scouts had already reported that the thieves were besieging Jinmingzhai. Liu Fa, the temporary commander of the soldiers and horses of the Sixth Route, ordered a rapid march, and some of the grain and grass were escorted by the old, weak, sick and disabled with slow foot strength to continue to advance, and the rest of the soldiers were all light and simple, each carrying only three days' rations, and rushed to Jinmingzhai as quickly as possible.

Liu Fa also gathered the cattle of the generals, two oxen with a cart, one cart loaded with twelve Song soldiers, and the other infantry rotated every two hours, so as to save the infantry's physical strength, and also to walk faster.

On this day, from early morning to midnight, the advance army of 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Sixth Route walked for eight hours, advanced 117 miles, and saw the Xia army resting and preparing to attack the village again tomorrow.

Liu Fa ordered to retreat five miles, camp and rest, and sent a kind of Pu, Zhe Keshi, and Tang Ning three people, with 5,000 people to take advantage of the night to go around the back of the Xia army's buttocks, and wait until the Xia army attacks the village early tomorrow morning, and then launch an attack.

Of these 5,000 people, 3,000 are soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army, and the other 2,000 are all cavalry!

None of the Zhenjiang army was left behind in this rapid march, and was highly praised by Liu Fa, and therefore handed over the most arduous task to the Zhenjiang army.

Chongpu met Tang Ning again after four years, and he felt a lot. In the past, Huangkou Xiaoer has now become a general of the unified army. Although the official position is inferior to himself, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses himself.

He intended to be close to Tang Ningtao, so he began to use the Zhenjiang Army as a breakthrough.

"The army under the command of Commander Tang seems to be exceptionally strong, eight hours, one hundred and seventeen rapid marches, no one is left behind, I don't know how Commander Tang trains soldiers?

If you have a magic method, why don't you share it with us? ”

Chong Pu smiled like a fox, Tang Ning knew that he had fallen in love with the physique of the soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army, but how did Chong Pu know that this was completely made with money.

So Tang Ning unreservedly explained the training method of the Zhenjiang Army, and also emphasized: "When I trained them, I attached great importance to their diet.

I've found that different eating habits can shape different physiques. People who have been exercising at high intensity for a long time and do not eat meat have difficulty concentrating, and fatigue is commonplace for them.

In addition, eating animal liver can improve the situation of soldiers who cannot see at night, so after training, I usually give them food supplements.

Bone broth is an indispensable dish in the Zhenjiang Army every day, except for wartime, I bring them pork bones to make soup every day...... By the way, beef bone soup is actually the most nourishing, but you also know that it is impossible to get a large number of beef cattle in our territory.

Besides, a pig is cheap, so pork bone broth is the most cost-effective option.

And eggs, milk, ......."
