Chapter 82: The Battle of Hundberg (11)

Late at night on the 17th, the Xia army began to withdraw from Huanzhou City.

Xiao Liang's choice to withdraw was purely helpless, if she didn't go back now to control her own brother Liang Yikui, the 200,000 army was likely to fight a civil war with the remaining domestic army when she was tired and had no supplies.

Even Xiao Lianghou, a person without foresight, knows the stakes.

It is true that the Song people are the enemy, and she must do something, and she is right. It's just that his brother is too dishonest, and someone needs to suppress his arrogance.

Qianshun was too young to do this, so she had to do it herself, so withdrawing the army became her only choice now.

Zhang Wang and Wuzang Renrong of course raised their hands and feet in favor, and at noon on the 17th, they received the news that Liang Yikui was doing something in China, and late at night on the 17th, the Xia army took advantage of the night to start withdrawing.

They wanted to create the illusion that they were still preparing to continue attacking Huanzhou. Therefore, they left a lot of people running around with torches, which made the defenders at the head of the city think that the Xia army was going to do something, and they were nervous one by one.

But Chong Pu, who had already had the information, sent scouts for a full hour to determine that the Xia army began to withdraw, and immediately allocated 1,000 men and horses to Tang Ning, so that Tang Ning could lead the way in Chong Jianzhong, that is, the guy who was beaten with 20 military sticks on the 12th.

Take the intermountain road and arrive at Gaoyin Mountain near Hongde City at the fastest speed.

But at this time, the route of the Xia army's withdrawal was not clear. However, according to the spy report of the vanguard army on the 16th, 'turning over the village and going down to Huanzhou, turning back day and night, and taking Hongde Dachuan Road', the retreat route of the Xia army will most likely pass through Hongde City.

This is also the reason why Zhe Keshi chose the ambush site here, the road near Hongde City is unobstructed, which is a very good choice for the large-scale advance and retreat of the Xia army.

When the Xia army attacked on the 12th, the chosen offensive route was here, and there was a high probability that it would be taken again from here when retreating.

Waiting is hard, and the darkness before dawn is always the hardest.

Zhi Keshi, the 'culprit' of the Battle of Hundeburg in a sense, was in Hundeburg City at this time, observing the movement in the distance.

Speaking of which, it's quite aggrieved for the Xixia people. At the end of last year, Wu De Sili didn't know which great immortal got all the names of the more than 5,000 people stationed in the tail Ding Yan, and they were all available from class to official position.

Zhe Keshi asked Zhang Kai for orders to go to war, and Zhang Kai agreed, gave him 6,000 men and horses, and transferred them under his command, and Zhang Kai did not participate in the command of this war.

So Zhe Keshi pretended to be the leader of Western Xia to inspect, and shouted out the five thousand people who were excited to feel that the promotion and fortune were in front of him, and the Xia army was stationed in front of them, and then killed them all together.

Therefore, the attack on the tail did not pass the beacon fire, and the troops stationed in the rear did not even know about the attack on the tail Ding.

Fold Keshi was lightly armed and simple, led the cavalry to drive straight in, cutting tens of thousands of ranks, and countless wounded.

This made the Western Xia people angry, and sent troops to pursue, but they were ambushed by Zhe Keshi in the Strange Yang River, and there were countless casualties.

The noses of the Western Xia people are crooked, and the voice of seeking revenge from the Song people has never stopped among the people.

Xiaoliang also seized this opportunity, and now he has personally led an army of 200,000 to besiege Huanzhou.

The initiator of the Battle of Hundberg was also the one who fought this battle

The brightest one in the middle will be the star but he doesn't feel much about it.

Even if Zhang Qi, an old merryman, joked about this matter, saying that you Zhe Keshi has also become the person who makes Xiaoliang Hou unforgettable, Zhe Keshi just laughed.

Approaching forty years old, his mentality is no longer as frivolous as when he was young. Nowadays, he is always able to maintain a calm mind and look at any problem calmly, which is the secret of his ability to win battles.

"General, why haven't the thieves come yet? Aren't you going to go down this road? ”

When Zhi Keshi was thinking about his lost youth on the black-lit city wall, his subordinates suddenly asked.

Zhi Keshi, whose good mood was broken, was not angry, and said with a smile: "Who knows? Wait a little longer, we are not the first place where you can see thieves, Suyuan Village is.

If Mu Hua saw people, he would raise the fire as agreed.

And if the thieves do not go this way, even if their lives are great, they will escape this fate. ”

After hearing this, the general sighed with emotion: "There can also be a hearty and good man like Muhua among the Qiang people, and his subordinates have never dared to think of it before."

In the meantime, if he is still alive, his subordinates will definitely go to Mu Hua for a drink, and the general will not stop him at that time. ”

Zhe Keshi pursed his lips and smiled: "Muhua has a lot of wine, if you go to him to fight for wine, be careful." ”

The general was about to reply, when he suddenly saw the fire of Suyuan Village. Suddenly, he was full of excitement, pointed at Su Yuanzhai and said excitedly: "General, look! There is a fire in Suyuan Village! ”

Zhi Keshi nodded and said: "See, send the order, tell the brothers to prepare for battle, listen to my order for a while, open the city gate, kill it directly, and surprise the thieves!" ”

"Yes!" After kneeling on one knee and clenching his fists to receive the order, the general ran down to deliver the news everywhere.

Because Xia Jun didn't let people stare at Hong Dezhai, he didn't dare to make too much trouble. However, for a while, there was still a rustling sound of nail leaves in the village.

On the 16th, they arrived at Hongdezhai, and now it is the early morning of the 18th. The soldiers who had rested for a full day were full of spirit and prepared to teach the Tangut people a profound lesson.

Suddenly there was a fire on the road, and a fire dragon was slowly crawling forward. In Hongde City, all the soldiers were already guarding the west gate, and they were just waiting for an order to be ordered, and they would rush out.

The general was already out of breath when he came back, and he knelt down on one knee again and clenched his fists and said: "General, the order has been delivered, and the brothers are ready, just waiting for your order!" ”

Holding a spear in his hand, Zhi Keshi nodded at the fire dragon that was walking slowly in the distance and said, "Cheng Jie, if it were you, when would you attack?" ”

"Naturally, when the thieves are near, they will attack!" The general, whose full name was Hu Chengjie, replied suspiciously: "What did the general ask me to do?" ”

"Cheng Jie, although you are brave, you are not flexible enough. When I was just a superintendent, you have always followed me, and I have always had the intention to train you to be a general who can take charge of himself, and if something happens to me in the future, you can also come up.

You just haven't grown.

After so many years of dealing with thieves, don't you know that the vanguard and rear armies of thieves are the most powerful? What's more, we don't have many troops, if we want to cause the greatest chaos to the thief soldiers, it is naturally a senior general who kills the thief soldiers

Collar.

The imperial camp of the Chinese army has always been the place where the supreme commander of the thief soldiers is located, and if you want me to say, let the vanguard army pass, and wait for the moment you see the large camp of the Chinese army, and directly launch an attack.

The target is trabecular back.

If Empress Xiaoliang dies, the thieves will be in chaos. At that time, people and horses will be trampled in the panic, and there will be casualties.

I also heard that this time it was not Zang Renrong who led the troops, and we also dealt with this old thief, and we won and lost each other. If you can kill Wuzang Renrong this time, it will also have an effect.

Cheng Jie, this is all my experience in leading troops in combat for many years, and you must keep it in mind. ”

Hu Chengjie said abruptly: "General, your words don't seem to be teaching your subordinates combat experience, but like explaining what happened behind you." ”

Zhi Keshi said with a smile: "The gap between this thief soldier and me is too great, all the troops I can use are worth 10,000 people, and the thief soldier is more than 100,000 in just one Chinese army."

It is not impossible for me to die in this battle. There is a saying that if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet?

Since I fought my first battle with the Western Thieves at the age of sixteen, I have fought countless battles in the past 20 years, each time with the determination to die, but in the end I survived.

There will always be a time when man's luck runs out, but I hope this battle is not my last. ”

The more free and easy it is, the more uncomfortable Hu Chengjie's heart becomes.

Yes, the hope of victory in this battle is too slim. Although strange soldiers were deployed, the 200,000 troops of Western Xia were not dry. Ten people for one person, there are still 100,000 people left after the fight, this kind of battle is tantamount to nine deaths.

It is not difficult to understand that the general has a will to die.

Thinking of this, Hu Chengjie burst into tears, knelt on the ground and said: "Chengjie is willing to live and die with the general!" ”

Zhi Keshi laughed: "Don't say such things, if you die, won't you also be involved?" I'm ready, but I'm not going to die.

Haha, get up, don't talk nonsense. ”

Zhe Keshi's words amused Hu Chengjie, and he twitched his mouth slightly, Hu Chengjie said: "It's the subordinates who are talking wrong......

Saying that, Zhi Keshi interrupted him: "Don't say it again, it's been a moment or so, and in a moment or two, the Chinese army of the thieves should arrive, go and make preparations, the fight will start soon!" ”

"Yes!"

While Zhe Keshi was in full swing preparing for the battle, Tang Ning was gasping for breath on Gaoyin Mountain.

Chong Jianzhong looked at Tang Ning with disdain and said: "The injury on the old man's buttocks has not healed yet, and he is older than you, climbing this Gaoyin Mountain, his face is not red and his heart is not beating."

Why is it that your boy is young and strong, and he has no disease, and it is more difficult to climb a mountain than an old man? ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said while panting, "I'm wearing armor...... I'm wearing a ...... This armor is too heavy, too heavy......"

It's okay not to say it, as soon as these words came out, everyone around him also looked at him with disdain.

If you wear armor, others don't? What's more, your little guard is covered with all your things, the big and somewhat exaggerated crossbow ~ bow, and a body of arrows, aren't they all carried for you.

Too lazy to fight with this weak young man, Chong Jianzhong stood at the top of the mountain, squinting at the wriggling fire dragon on the avenue below the mountain.
