Chapter 194: Dongjian Bridge (II)
"This kid actually started a war with the Western Xia people in the Dongjian Valley again?" Sun Wei listened to the report of the scout in front of him and said in surprise. Then he took out the map and said with a smile: "Dongjian Valley is the boundary of Anhua. ”
Wang Juzhan crossed the line, and actually took the soldiers and horses of Huachi County to Anhua County......
Sun Wei looked at the map again, and suddenly said, "This kid is looking for death." ”
The enemy's strength was more than 2,000 people, and the Wang Ju's strength of the scout was about the same as that of Yewu Xingshe, more than 1,000 people. The troops occupy a disadvantage, but Wang Ju is not small in Huachi County, and these soldiers have the strength to fight in the past few months.
But why did you choose this location, there are many cavalry in the Western Xia, isn't it looking for death? There are so many mountain roads, so many dense forests, just choose one place, it's better than in Dongjian Valley.
The more Sun Wei looked, the more worried he became, and he asked, "Is there any movement over there in the Xinjiang Ballast Fort?" ”
"Sun Gong, I don't know the little one."
Sun Wei was so anxious that he walked around, which was also forced, for example, during the Qingli War, Fu Lin's victories were extremely beautiful, but no one saw it. Or the battle of Dashun City in history, which was almost a battle that turned the tide, otherwise the entire Gyeongju would have been launched, but several historical books of the Song Dynasty recorded that this battle was only a passing one. On the other hand, look at the battle of Sanchuankou, Liu Ping only killed a few thousand people, and if he didn't get a bandit to get ambushed, thousands of officers and soldiers would die. Could it be that the Han dynasty is ugly, and the Northern Dynasty of the Ten Kingdoms, Jin Yuanqing, is great?
So everyone is like Sun Changqing, the Xixia people came, and the turtle cowered in the walled castle to be a turtle, maybe it would be safe, but once it attacked and defeated, even if it killed thousands or hundreds of people, it may have made a big mistake.
Sun Wei wanted to transfer the soldiers of Rouyuan Village, but he didn't dare to do so. There are still hundreds of Xixia officers and soldiers in front of Rouyuan Village, so it doesn't matter, the main thing is that there is a Xinjiang Ballast Village behind.
What to do, what to do, Sun Wei was so anxious that he scurried back and forth. But he couldn't think of any solution, and neither could the rescuers, and by the time the rescuers had gone around to the Dongjian Valley, the war would have already ended.
In the end, I had to say: "Probe and report again." ”
As soon as the scout left, Sun Wei began to scold Wang Ju's mother in Baoan City......
Wang Ju watched the Xixia Iron Cavalry get closer and closer, and then his eyes left the battlefield and looked into the distance, which was convenient for the ballast fort. It was this iron nail that made Sun Wei not move to dispatch troops.
However, Wang Ju said in his heart: "It's very close, but are there still soldiers in the ballast fort?" ”
It is not very far, it is only ten miles in a straight line, but it cannot be calculated in a straight line, there are lofty mountains and mountains in the middle, and the road is impassable, and if you want to transfer the army over, even if you take the nearest rugged mountain road, it will take thirty or forty miles. This is not very far, how many permanent troops can there be in Western Xia when Guan Jian, how many permanent troops can there be in the ballast fort, this road sent four or five thousand people to plunder, not to mention the ballast fort, I am afraid that the white leopard city in the rear does not have many troops.
Seeing that the Western Xia people were about to rush into the camp of the Song army, Wang Ju said, "Let's go." ”
The shield bearers took cover in front, the Tanguts also began to fire arrows on their horses, and the Song crossbowmen also began to fight back behind their shields.
The screams rang out again, but the Tanguts died more, falling from their horses one by one.
However, this problem is not big, once the cavalry is allowed to rush in, it will be a torture, so the corner of Ye Wu Xingshe's mouth raised a sneer.
At this moment, the sudden change was sudden, and the two armies were about to meet each other, and suddenly one horse after another fell.
In fact, in the second half of yesterday night, Yao Ji had already led his subordinates to come over and secretly dig a trench, and also laid a sharp pile inside. Then the planks are put on and the turf is laid. The scouts sent by Yeliusher saw that it was the Song army in Ji'erzhai, but they did not see another Song army. Yeliusher led the army out, and Wang Ju also led the army out and arrived here ahead of schedule, so the scouts didn't know about it at all.
This trench immediately became a trench for a short time, some cavalry reined in the war horses in time, some did not have a good future, and fell into the trench, people did not die, but the war horses were injured or poked to death, and some people and horses were good, and a horse jumped over the trench, but it was a minority, what was the use of dozens of people jumping over the trench? The whole torture was reversed, and the Song army began to torture and kill the Western Xia cavalry before and after the trench.
"Withdraw." Ye Wu Xingsha shouted.
This trench was neither wide nor deep, but it could no longer be stormed, and it was necessary to wait for the infantry behind to come and cover it with shields before attacking.
But in this moment, nearly two hundred cavalry were folded.
Ye Wu Xingshe's eyes were split, these were not Bang Linglang, a hundred or fifty dead, they were all the most elite cavalry in his own account, plus the elite of the loss of Zang Xuan, he was heartbroken to death.
What made him most angry was that when the Song army saw them withdraw, they arrogantly stabbed the wounded Western Xia soldiers struggling in the trenches with their guns, and they were even more blind than they came to plunder, and seemed to treat his more than 1,000 subordinates as air.
After a while, the struggling Western Xia cavalry in the trench were all stabbed to death by the Song army.
The battlefield also fell into a brief lull.
On the other side of Dongjian Creek, a scout quietly came to Yao Yu's side and said, "The enemy infantry is still three miles away from here. ”
"Get up." Yao Ji stood up.
As the two battalions of forbidden soldiers pulled off the camouflage on their bodies together, this was also a project of previous training, and it was separated from the road by two mountain beams, so the scouts under Ye Wu Xingshe did not see it.
Yao Ji looked at the ** hundred officers and soldiers and said: "You are all forbidden soldiers, with the most salary, it stands to reason that you are the most powerful army in our dynasty." However, you know in your hearts what are you in terms of combat effectiveness among officers and soldiers? In what way do the people view you? Today is the time for you to correct your name. ”
This is a bit aggrieved, they get more pay than Baojie and Fanluo, but their families are in the capital, the cost of living is high, and how many battalions of high-class forbidden soldiers who really get more pay have been to the border in rotation?
But in terms of combat effectiveness, it is true that they are the worst, and it is also a fact that the people in the northwest look down on them, and there is no way to discern them.
Yao Ji said again: "Do you dare to correct your name? ”
This is the most primitive pre-war aid of the Song Dynasty, Yao Ji is not skillful, the most skilled is the famous Song Dynasty general Yin Jilun in the Song-Liao War.
But it worked.
Hundreds of soldiers clenched their fists and shouted in a low voice, "Dare." ”
"Let me take you to the right place."
After Yao Ji finished speaking, he led them to climb a dangerous mountain with difficulty, but fortunately, the mountain was not high, and after a while, he climbed over, and then followed a ravine and pounced on the main road.
"Rush."
Yao Yu roared angrily and rushed to the Dongjian Bridge with his men.
"Not good," Ye Wushexing shouted.
As long as this stone bridge is blocked, the whole army is equal to one qiē and two halves, so he said: "Take the bridge." ”
It was too late, Yao Ji and his men set up a defensive formation on the bridge, and as the Western Xia cavalry rushed onto the stone bridge, from the front of the bridge to both sides of the bridge, countless strong bows were all in unison, and one soldier after another was shot alive by random arrows.
However, there was also a turnaround, once the infantry behind the Western Xia arrived, flanked from both sides, and the Song army had few troops, it could be a complete victory. However, Ye Wushexing's face turned pale, and even if he won a big victory, he won a miserable victory.
He had to give the order to stop seizing the bridge and wait for reinforcements from behind.
Once again, the battlefield fell eerily silent.
It's just the sound of the roaring flow of the Dongjian stream, which flows westward into Yanqing Water, Maling Water, Jingshui, Weishui, and the Yellow River......
But the problem is that it is now August, which is the peak of the autumn flood, and the water of Dongjian Creek is so great that it cannot be crossed, so the two armies have no choice but to continue the stalemate.
Reinforcements from Yeushexing arrived.
He immediately ordered the two armies to attack.
An even more tragic tug-of-war began, and the Tanguts tore through the Song army's defense line again and again, but were repulsed again and again.
Yao Yu wiped the blood on the big knife, this was the seventh enemy he hacked to death, and said in his heart, Fortunately, I chose this location carefully, the mountain road on this side of the stream is narrow, and there are relatively steep mountains on both sides, otherwise this battle is really a bit difficult.
After nearly half an hour of bloody fighting, both sides were a little exhausted, and large drops of sweat appeared on the foreheads of ninety percent of the soldiers.
Ye Wushexing saw clearly through the Dongjian Stream, so he shouted: "The enemy is almost unable to hold on, attack me." ”
Another fierce battle began.
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
A cavalry appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Li Sangou arrived, in fact, Huachi County was not four or five hundred cavalry, but two battalions of cavalry, and it was two battalions of cavalry with full personnel, and they had been practicing during this time, but because of the lack of horses, in the first battle, only less than five hundred cavalry were put into the battle. Now that the horses of Western Xia are obtained, both battalions of cavalry have mounts, and they can all be put into battle.
The cavalry was the natural enemy of the Song army, as well as the natural enemy of the Western Xia infantry.
Moreover, the Tangut people rushed all the way over, and fought until now, and they had long been exhausted, and as Li Sangou raised his knife and cut off the first head, nearly a thousand Tangut infantry immediately began to collapse.
Yao Ji also began to dispatch troops, sending 200 officers and soldiers to defend the Dongjian Bridge, and the remaining officers and soldiers began to enter the battlefield and cooperate with Li Sangou to strangle them.
Right under the nose of Ye Wu Shexing, one after another Western Xia soldiers fell in pools of blood, and some climbed up the mountain, but the mountain was too steep, so they let the Song soldiers draw bows and arrows below and shoot them alive.
Compared with the Song army, the Western Xia people were more afraid of death, first one person fell on the ground and begged for mercy, and then with groups of soldiers lying on the ground waiting for the Song army to deal with it.
"It's over." Zang thought to himself.
More than 1,000 infantrymen, just for a while, ate cleanly, and did not even leave the skin.
I don't know if anyone escaped, but I didn't see any of them anyway.
Ye Wushexing shouted hysterically: "Kill back." ”
This bridge can't be taken back, and this battle can't be won, but the Song army can't be allowed to make dumplings again.
The seed immediately said to the wild three dogs: "Command Zhao, rush over with the cavalry. ”
"Okay." The wild three dogs turned their heads and shouted to the riders behind them, "Sons, rush for me." ”
Wang Ju also saw the movement on the other side of the river and said, "The counterattack has begun. ”
With this order, some of the Song troops who remained behind the mud wall began to take the initiative to knock down the mud wall, and there was no trench dug in front of it, but who could have imagined that.
The infantry on both sides were still shooting with bows and arrows, but Zhao Zhen, the commander of the former Liyuan Fort army, led the cavalry to kill the Western Xia army from the middle.
One south and one north, the two war groups fought together again.
Yao said, "Stop taking prisoners. ”
Then continue to let more than 100 soldiers hold the Dongjian Bridge, send another 100 soldiers to guard the prisoners of war, and the rest of the soldiers gather to form a phalanx, which is also the few ways that the infantry can fight the cavalry in the field.
Unless the Western Xia cavalry could be as strong as the Mongol cavalry, then the phalanx would not work. However, even the Mongolian cavalry came, and it was also doubtful whether they could effectively break through the infantry phalanx in this narrow environment.
The seed came over again with the phalanx.
At this time, there was no need to defend, Wang Ju shouted: "Form a phalanx and attack." ”
Two infantry phalanxes were thrown into the battlefield, and the Tanguts finally gradually lost their support. But it was not over, the sound of trumpets was heard again in the distance, and a banner with Song written on it fluttered from behind.
"Damn, how many troops did the Song people ambush." Ye Wushexing said sadly. There's no way to fight this battle, so run away. The main general fled for his life, the battlefield was in a precarious shape, and the Song army reinforcements arrived in the distance, and the soldiers of Western Xia still had the heart to fight?
The collapse started again on the side of the bridge.
