Chapter 518: Death Movement (7)

Zhang Qi didn't have Wang Ju's force value, so he could only stand on the head of the city to express his support. As for the sloppiness of the Xia military camp, Wang Junwan said that he couldn't understand it, but Zhang Ji could understand it. Although he didn't know the letter of the Emperor, when he was commanding the castle during the day, he saw Song Ji send a large number of rangers to the rear.

Of course, Zhang Qi will not send people to block it stupidly, it is a good thing for these rangers to go to the rear, look, the rear troops are empty, you can rest assured that you can boldly attack the city, and sleep boldly at night. Therefore he said to the heads of the camps, "The tents of the summer people are ......

However, until the attack stopped, the Western Xia people were still building camp tents one after another, so Zhang Ji did not inform Wang Ju, and he did not need to inform Wang Ju, if Wang Ju did not seize this opportunity, then what qualifications did he have to swallow the 300,000 enemy troops.

He looked out of the city.

Wang Ju's mentality is to seek stability, and when the two made plans, Wang Ju said more than once about the danger of the last battle of Dashun City. Therefore, although it was a night attack tactic, the Song army invested more troops each time.

But in order to achieve that the difference in the strength of each local war is not large, the two tried every possible way, and I don't know how many brain cells died.

However, once it succeeds, the power is huge, just like now, because the Song army has invested a lot of troops, and in the blink of an eye, it has become a one-sided trend. "This battle is over," Zhang Ji thought in his heart.

The shouts of killing also woke up the people in the city, and they all went to the top of the city to watch the battle.

This Zhang Ji did not stop it, but just let the officials maintain order.

The common people watched the scene outside the city and applauded.

There are many ministers in the court who say that Wang Ju is cruel, is Wang Ju cruel? It is cruel, at least more cruel than a minister who is kind to the outside world. Let the prisoners of war do the work. Get the job done. The prisoners of war will also be sold to the mine owners to be miners, and now I am afraid that there is another crime, so that the prisoners of war stand on the head of the city as cannon fodder and meat shields......

But is it cruel? So let's see what Western Xia did? Once they broke through the villages of the Song Dynasty, it was almost a three-light policy, burning, killing, raping, and plundering, and almost did all kinds of evil. After Yuzang Huama surrendered to Western Xia, the tentacles of Western Xia extended to Qinzhou and forced the people to defect to Western Xia.

In the border area of the Song Dynasty. The people of Qinzhou were the most loyal to the Song Dynasty, so they didn't agree, and if they didn't agree, they would kill, kill tens of thousands of people, and kill the Weiyuan area into a dead and silent place, otherwise Wang Shao would have come to the open border field?

So during the day, Gyeongju City was in an emergency, and everyone was really scared.

The slaughter outside the city was slaughtered, and when everyone was enthusiastic, a squire found Liu to join the army and asked to cooperate with the officers and soldiers in the battle.

"Liu joined the army. No way. Zhang Qi refused.

"Why?"

"Let's see."

Liu Senjun looked out: "I can't see it." ”

"Do you see if my Song formation is scattered?"

The two armies are in a scuffle, and what they are most afraid of is that the formation is out of order. Especially such a dark night battle of tens of thousands of people. But generally speaking, it is inevitable that some armies will be scattered, so if an army is relatively neatly formed, the probability of that army winning in the end will increase.

However, for tonight's battle, it is impossible for the Xia army to break up the battalions of the Song army, so the Song army has been galloping and rampage in the enemy camp with each battalion as a unit, like an oolong. Even a few wounded soldiers quickly and orderly withdrew to the side. The worse thing is the officers and soldiers of several battalions in Gyeongju, which is also helpless, most of the officers and soldiers in Gyeongju are forbidden soldiers, or forbidden soldiers with relatively weak combat effectiveness. With some strongmen, it can't be perfectly matched.

If the people outside the city were allowed to go out again, it would be adding to the chaos and interrupting the rhythm of the Song army.

"I was wrong." Liu Shenjun said.

"It doesn't matter, the mood of the people is good, so you tell the people that the battle will be over in a while, but there are still many Xia troops who have escaped, let them form a team, go out of the city to capture, and for each prisoner of war captured, the government will reward ten yuan or five silks. But this distance must not exceed thirty miles, in order to prevent the arrival of the enemy's rescue. ”

"Whoa."

The battle was fought in full swing.

But behind this brilliance, it has consumed countless money from the country, and there is no way to solve this. If you want to have high morale, you can't miss the rewards and pensions. If you want to win a war, you must have sufficient logistics, including weapons, materials, food and grass. In order to clear the wilderness and evacuate all the people of Gyeongju to the rear, should they be compensated and rebuilt after the war? Therefore, the amount of money that will be spent in the end will be astronomical.

But in addition to money and silk, there are also disturbing the people, all kinds of materials, grain, grass and weapons on the front line, which are sent by countless Shaanxi people step by step.

With these prisoners of war, the problem of labor in the rear can be well solved.

The three thousand prisoners of war sent by Dashun City were transferred to the rear, but they were far from solving the labor problem. So prisoners of war are very valuable......

As soon as Liu Senjun gave the order, Wang Ju also gave an order: "Surrender and don't kill." ”

Surrender may not end well, especially like Rouyuanzhai, but what if you don't surrender at this time?

One after another Xia troops fell to the ground and surrendered.

At this moment, Qu Zhen walked over with a person and said, "This person is the chief general of the Xia army, or a Han man, named Song Ji." ”

Song Ji escaped from the camp, there was no way to do this. Theoretically, now a Song soldier staring at a Xia soldier is enough to completely annihilate the Xia army, but that is impossible to achieve. In fact, there were quite a few Xia soldiers who escaped. Song Ji also escaped.

But the Song Dynasty recognized his head, and the Western Xia also recognized his head, and when he saw Song Ji, the deserters spontaneously converged on him. Qu Zhen stopped in front, saw this large group of people, and immediately led his men to kill them, and then caught Song Ji.

The two are old friends who haven't seen each other.

Wang Ju came to Song Ji and looked at Song Ji, this shameful literati was also in his early forties, his face was like ashes at this time, and he was very depressed. However, Wang Ju did not have time to deal with him, so he said: "First take them into the city and hold them together with the prisoners of war." ”

Soldiers carried prisoners of war into the city one after another.

Wang Ju looked at the sky and said to Wang Junwan: "Junwan, how about our soldiers enter Yele Town?" ”

This was not in the plan, but Wang Ju did not expect that the battle would be so easy, at this time the number of casualties of the Song army was not large, and the battle ended quickly, and the physical consumption was not large, and the morale was strong. And they can use skateboards with cavalry. You can pounce on Yele Town in an hour. At that time, it was about five and a half at most. It was dark. And the weather on this day is still cloudy, although it is not like last night with snowflakes, the moon is dark and the wind is high, but it belongs to the night of the moon. Then the three armies will pounce on Yele Town, and they will also play a surprise attack, of course, don't expect it to be as easy as the battle outside Gyeongju City.

However, the strength of the Xia army in Yele Town is only 15,000 people, and I believe that Gu Yongping is not stupid. When he saw the battle, he would inevitably assemble the three armies from the city, kill them from the inside, and join himself inside and out. Then this battle will be won by a big margin.

But in this way, the entire battle plan will be changed again.

However, Wang Ju obviously found the wrong candidate, and when Wang Jun heard that there was still a fight, he immediately shouted happily: "Okay." ”

Wang Ju was speechless.

He turned his head to Yang Pei and said, "General Yang, capture the prisoners of war and clean up the battlefield and leave it to you." ”

"Okay."

"In addition, you go into the city immediately and ask Zhang Tong's sentence for me. I led the army to Yele Town. The rate of victory may be as high as ninety percent, and after the war, the army will be stationed in Yele Town. Or return to Gyeongju City. Stationed in Yele Town, closer to the front line, you can also unite with the forces of Yanda, Chongyi, Chonggu, Miao Zhu, Zhao Pu, Yao Lin, and Qin Bo, and you and Gu Yongping will cooperate and support in the rear, so as to strangle the enemy's right-wing army. ”

That is, the strategic focus was placed on the left flank of the Song army, which was the right flank relative to the enemy, and took Renduo Lingding first.

"However, the downside is that it compresses the enemy's space to move and at the same time, it also compresses the enemy together, so that they can support each other. Moreover, Yele Town is a small city, and there are many troops coming, which is also a headache. Therefore, please think about it. ”

Maybe Yang Pei didn't quite understand this force, not only the troops under Wang Ju, but also the sixteenth battalion of the Yongxing Army was about to arrive. Yele Town is not small, but once so many troops are stationed, it is undoubtedly small.

However, Yang Pei didn't think about this, but asked in surprise: "Zhang Tong's judgment?" ”

"Why, underestimate Zhang Tong's judgment, half of the plan for this battle came from him."

This issue will also be made clear in the future, if it weren't for himself, Zhang Kai would have exerted his power very late. There are two reasons for this, one is that the court does not know, and even Zhang Qi himself does not know. The second is that Zhang Ji is similar to Li Ji in his use of soldiers, not that he can compare with Li Ji, but that his military methods are very similar to him, and even he is similar to himself, and he is a growth-oriented character, not a natural general like Huo Quzhi and Wang Shao.

However, we can't ignore this type of talent, just like Li Ji, who was really not dazzling at first, not as good as Qin Qiongcheng biting gold, and even worse than Li Shimin. But in the end, with the growth of Li Ji, he became the two great war gods of the early Tang Dynasty who could almost stand side by side with Li Jing.

Therefore, Wang Ju hoped that after this battle, the imperial court would be able to reuse Zhang Qi and sharpen it on the border. A Zhang Qi who grew up twenty years in advance, coupled with his own changes, it is no longer a dream to destroy Western Xia.

If he can't pull the Song Dynasty out of the whirlpool of Western Xia in time, the Song Dynasty will still be in danger, that Wanyan Aguta should have been born, and he is several years old, this is the real ruthless man, 3,000 killed 100,000 Liao troops in World War I, and 20,000 killed 700,000 Liao troops in World War II. If this person doesn't die early, it is estimated that Yue Fei will be deflated. Compared with him, the battle of Chuzhou, where Zhao Kuangyin became famous, was like child's play.

But if you don't talk about it, others will think that it is your own work.

Besides, at his age, even if the great credit falls, what can he do? Don't you have enough credit? And time is tight, and he has to make decisions to command the battle of Yele Town, and he doesn't have the time to think about it seriously.

Yang Pei suddenly believed and hesitated, and Wang Ju smiled again: "Don't doubt it, Zhang Zhifu is worse than me, but he can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but today I only killed one Xia person, and Zhao Long took all the credit." ”

It's a cold joke, Zhao Long.

Wang Ju continued: "If you talk about military talent and strategic ability, Zhang Zhifu is far above me. ”

What he said was the actual words, but Yang Pei definitely didn't believe it, and even Zhang Qi himself didn't believe it.

After deciding on it, Wang Ju gave the order, and the three armies stepped on the skateboard on the river again.

Zhang Qi looked at it, and immediately understood, thinking to himself, the prince's appetite is really good. However, it is indeed a great opportunity, don't look at the enemy's superiority in strength, but TongguΓ² keeps moving, and every local war is fought, and the Tanguts are cut off a large piece of meat. Every time an extra piece of meat was cut, the strength of Western Xia weakened. Then when the decisive battle comes, the strength advantage of Western Xia will be infinitely weakened, and the Song army will increase the certainty of a big victory.

This battle ended quickly, and this great opportunity in Yele Town really can't be missed.

More than 10,000 Song troops roared west again.

Yang Pei also divided the officers and soldiers of each battalion under his command, captured and guarded the prisoners of war, and cleaned the rest of the battlefield, and the tents and weapons of the Xia army camp on the battlefield, and even the armor and leather robes on the dead people had to be stripped off. It's all money.

It's a pity that Song Ji didn't bring many cavalry, and he didn't capture many war horses. Moreover, he brought mostly dry food, and did not get a large number of cattle and sheep like in the battle of Dashun City. Luckily, I got some donkeys and mules to pull the cart. That's money, too.

The people have not yet been released, and the battlefield is now meat, so only the officers and soldiers have to eat it first, and after eating, the rest of the soup and water will be handed over to the people. Yang Pei entered the city and passed Wang Ju's words to Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi was thinking, Wang Ju was right to send troops to Yele Town, before the arrival of the general battle, it was best to weaken the enemy's strength to the greatest extent, not only the troops, but also the morale.

However, after the battle of Yele Town, whether to retreat to Gyeongju City or garrison Yele Town is not trivial.

This is related to the direction of the battle, now both arms are gathered a large number of Song troops, although the left arm is slightly worse, but as Miao Zhi advances into Ansai Village, the gap in this force is also shrinking, and the enemy's right arm itself is not as strong as the enemy's left arm, and the main force is still in Rouyuan Village.

Therefore, Wang Ju's Chinese army is biased to the left arm, Huai'an Town is the main battlefield of the battle, biased to the right arm, and Rouyuan Village is the main battlefield.

He thought for a long time and muttered, "It's hard to decide." ”

This decision was not made by Wang Ju's army, but more than a hundred miles away, in a place called Mengmen Sancha...... (To be continued......) R1292
