Chapter 20: The Existence of Ghosts and Gods (7)

[The next chapter is at twelve o'clock.] 】

“…… First of all, two teams of iron harriers came to attack left and right, but Weichen lined up one step ahead, with a divine arm bow in his hand, once a volley, even if the thief army was ten times larger than me, he couldn't get close to ......"

"Halfway through the battle, the Leather Room Army attacked from behind. Wei Chen was fortunately prepared, and immediately tightened his position, and his back was ...... the mountains and forests."

“…… Just around the Weichen array, there were hundreds of grain trucks that had overturned on the road. The leather room army and the iron harrier wanted to cross the grain cart and attack the Weichen main formation, but they couldn't sprint. ”

"However, there are still a lot of them, in order not to scare away this team of leather room troops, when they rushed out, the front line switched to Mo knife to protect themselves, and the divine arm bow of the rear team still shot more to the party members, and only used dozens of people to press the horse bow of the leather room army."

Zhe Keshi's eloquence is far inferior to Ding Sansi and Liu Hewan, who tell stories in the Sang family's tile, but Zhao Ji still listens to it with relish. The simple words can still make the Great Song Tianzi have an immersive feeling.

Zhi Keshi took a foot soldier with him to command, to resist the three-way cavalry, and one of them was a leather room army with equal strength. This kind of pressure, even if there is a little arrangement, is still dangerous, and Zhao Ji was shocked when he heard it. He swallowed his saliva dryly, and his clenched palms were sweating.

"The Leather Room Army was really fooled." Zhi Keshi's voice was high-pitched, "As soon as I saw that the arrows were shot sparsely, I rushed up in batches. When they crossed the formation, the crossbowmen who hid in the mountains began to fire a salvo of rockets to burn the grain wagons. ”

That's right. Zhao Ji thought about it, and the crossbow archers who fled into the mountains at the beginning, they disguised themselves as people's husbands, just to let the leather room army fall into the trap,

"The road more than 200 steps long was all at once full of flames and poisonous smoke. Although the smoke was blown away by the wind a little, the horses couldn't stay in the smoke and flames at all, and the leather room army was all in chaos. Weichen also took the opportunity to retreat to the mountain behind him, and cooperated with the previous crossbow archers to block the way for the leather room army to rush out of the fireworks. ”

"The mountain climbed and the arrows were fired, and the minister led the team to detour and block the road, and when the reinforcements arrived, the leather room army was already a turtle in the urn. Of the leather room army that came to attack in the last part, only more than 30 horsemen escaped from Lu. Together with the master general Xiao Yaoshinu, a total of 412 horsemen were awarded. ”

In fact, there are many doubts in this. No matter how big the fireworks are, it is impossible to completely block the road. Based on the consistent performance of the leather room army before, the most optimistic prediction at the beginning was only to give the leather room army three or four percent of casualties, and the bulk of the merit was still on the iron harrier. But this time it was the Iron Harriers who escaped first, and after they came out, the Leather Room Army delayed for an extra quarter of an hour, which allowed the reinforcements to rush to the battlefield first.

And after the Iron Harrier escaped, he had no intention of rescuing the leather room army at all, otherwise he could save at least half of it. In addition, just looking at the casualties of the two teams of Iron Harriers and the total disproportion of the leather room army, we can know that most of them have been prepared in advance, and maybe they have already seen through the strategy used by the officers and troops when they first made room for the attack position for the leather room army, but they did not prompt the leather room army.

But this can't be said to the outside world, there is no evidence at all, it's just speculation, and saying it will only cost a lot of brothers and themselves who have fought for their lives. Zhe Keshi concealed the changes of the party and the army in the last period, and the others were based on the facts.

"China has elite soldiers and strong generals, and it seems that the leather room army is nothing more than that." Zhao Ji was hindered by the presence of Zaifu, so it was inconvenient for him to laugh loudly, but he was very proud in his heart.

Although it was only through the use of stratagem that the victory was won, the fact that he was able to defeat the elite soldiers of the three routes without showing his defeat has already shown the combat effectiveness of the officers and troops. And since Guo Kui and Zhi Kexing dared to use this strategy, it also proved that the performance of the officers and soldiers was by no means accidental, but a fact recognized by the generals.

At present, in the overall situation in Hedong and Shaanxi, the officials and the army have completely overwhelmed the party members. Chong Ge and Wang Sunchen won a great victory at Jialuchuan, which stabilized the imperial court's control of Hengshan; Guo Kui recaptured Fengzhou and allowed Fuzhou to keep the barrier.

"Although the leather room army is strong, it is like a chicken and a dog when it meets me. Congratulations to His Majesty! ”

Wang Jue took a step forward, shook the wat board to the ground, and congratulated Zhao Ji loudly, making the Great Song Tianzi squint his eyes and nod and smile.

Wang Jue stepped forward to curry favor with the Son of Heaven, but the other Zaifu were a little cold.

This battle was indeed a great victory, and Wang Anshi had also brought his ministers to congratulate the Son of Heaven. But it is still very early to underestimate the Khitan and the party, and he has to pour cold water on the Son of Heaven. Not only Wu Chong is thinking so, but Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing and others are also thinking so.

"Now the momentum of the official army is like a rainbow, and the battle with the party and the army is like a devastating and decaying. As long as you wait a few more years, when the forbidden army in the country is all equipped with iron armor, Mo knives, and divine arm bows and other divine weapons, and the grain and straw in Shaanxi and Hedong are prepared, you can recover Yinxia and recapture Xingling! ”

Wang Shao poured cold water tactfully, Zhao Ji only heard the last two sentences, and said with a smile: "Yes, we will recover Yinxia and recapture Xingling!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Wu Chong splashed cold water a little fiercely, "There are 100,000 people in the leather room army. In addition, there are 100,000 palace divisions. The beheading of 400 in the first battle was only a superficial injury. And the leather room army was injured, with the nature of the northern dynasty, how could he swallow this matter. Hedong, Hebei, and Shaanxi should take precautions as soon as possible to prevent the Khitan army from attacking. ”

Zhao Ji's smile gradually retracted, and he nodded: "This matter must not be worried." ”

Wang Anshi didn't think much of Wu Chong's words, and it was impossible for the Liao State to tear up the alliance of Lanyuan, but now it was to pour cold water on the Son of Heaven, and it was inconvenient to refute it. And it is impossible to openly tear up the alliance of the abyss, but in private, it will never be less manipulative.

The Liao people should have received the news that the leather room army was almost wiped out, and they didn't know what kind of response they would make.

……………………

Hearing the news of the annihilation of Xiao Yaoshinu's entire army in Fengzhou, the left side of the Leiwu Army was dizzy for a while, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Of the more than 400 elites he carefully selected, none of them were returned!

"Yakushi slave, that shit!" He hugged his head in the room and screamed.

More than 460 leather room elite riders!

When Emperor Taizu created the leather room army, there were 30,000, and when he arrived in Taizong, the leather room army was greatly expanded, claiming to be 300,000. But now that the position of the guard of the leather room army has been replaced by the palace guard, the total number of places in Wujing Road is only fifty or sixty thousand, and there are less than ten thousand here in Xijing Road. It lost more than 400 at once, and it was the most intolerable annihilation, and not a single one escaped.

Yeluuna's heart was so hot that he almost burned his internal organs to charcoal. He coughed violently, and blood was coughing everywhere, "Medicine slave that shit!" ”

"Someone!" Yeluwuna didn't care about the blood stains on his mouth and chest, he stood up and shouted, "Order all departments to count soldiers and horses, and listen to the orders of this commander!" ”

Although this fiasco was completely self-inflicted, it did not matter to Yeluwuna whether it was right or wrong to intervene in the Song-Xia War, what mattered was how to appease the military headquarters of the lower skin room and how to retaliate against the Song people.

It is absolutely impossible to go straight into the depths of the Song Realm without giving orders, but it is no problem to fight a grass valley at the border and vent your anger. This authority, as the left part of the detailed stability, is that Yeluuna has it.

"Wait!" Xiao Yinji, Yelu Wuna's deputy, walked in from outside the door, "This matter is still urgently reported to King Wei, maybe King Wei is waiting for this news." ”

Hearing Xiao Yinji mention Yelu Yixin, the flame burning in his heart suddenly became more vigorous, Yelu Wuna didn't care about Yelu Yixin now, but the hidden meaning in Xiao Yinji's words made him calm down, "How do you say this?" ”

Xiao Yinji sat down: "Since the Son of Heaven of the Southern Dynasty appointed Wang Anshi Bingzheng, the Southern Dynasty has become stronger day by day. Even an elite like the Leather Room Army couldn't stop two or three times as many forbidden troops as having spaceships, plate armor, Mo knives, and divine arm bows. The Southern Dynasty had much more hukou than the Great Liao, and it was also more affluent, and it could afford to build equipment. Once the two countries are at war, although Da Liao does not say that it will be defeated, but if it wants to win, it does not know how many lives it will take. ”

Yeluwuna's face darkened a little, he didn't want to listen to this.

Xiao Yinji sat more steadily: "Compared to my Great Liao, Western Xia is weaker." Whether it is an iron harrier or a foot bazi, now one-on-one can not defeat the ironclad forbidden army of the Southern Dynasty, and it has not won a single battle in the past few years, and the defeat is worse and worse every time. The previous capture of Fengzhou was also mostly lucky. Once the Southern Dynasty comes to its senses, it will be able to take it back immediately. ”

Jeruuna's face darkened even more, and his eyes became more dangerous. The victory or defeat of the party members, and what does it have to do with him, it is a big deal to trap 400 elite soldiers in one go.

Xiao Yinji was still saying: "If the Great Liao does not support the Western Xia, a few years later, the Shangjing Road will be able to see the patrolmen of the Southern Dynasty in Montenegro." ”

Yelu Wuna's expression changed, and Xiao Yinji said to this point, and it was impossible for him not to understand, "Could it be that the King of Wei planned to fully support Western Xia in the future, so he asked me to order a team of soldiers and horses to go to Fengzhou." ”

Xiao Yinji nodded: "Presumably, King Wei saw the growing strength of the Southern Dynasty early, so he sent the medicine slave." Now that the Great War of Toyosu has passed, everyone in the country should see it clearly...... Maybe that's what King Wei had in mind. ”

"That is to say, for this reason, the King of Wei took more than 460 sons under my command to send them to death." Yeluwuna's voice was low, and there was a great deal of anger in it.

"It's not that they're going to die, it's a temptation, it's to confirm whether the guess is right or wrong." Xiao Yinji explained: "It's just that the misfortune proves King Wei's guess. This is also what the country has to do before it wakes up one step earlier! At least two more years of earning for Da Liao. If we wait until the Song people start to attack Western Xia, we have not decided whether to watch or intervene, and at that time, we can really only watch the patrolmen of the Southern Dynasty come to the border of Shangjing Road. In a few years, maybe you will be able to use the money to buy all the divisions of the Divination, send money and weapons, and recruit Si Ke on the Northwest Road to stop them? ”

Facing the silent left side of the guard, Xiao Yinji further said: "It is already very troublesome for the Divination Tribes to use bone arrows now, and when they have iron arrows, they will go to the Beijing Dao...... No, what will become of the situation in the country of Daliao? ”
