Chapter 256: Putting on the Torch
In fact, the entire battlefield is really not far from each other, but because of the crazy scouts of the two countries, they are cut into two war zones. ,
Qin Hai carefully patted his horse and ran on the mountain road, and was almost seen by the enemy several times, and finally when the sky was bright, he could see Qingyan Ridge, he turned over and dismounted, patted Aiqi, and said softly: "Big Ash, go, don't be seen by the Xixia people." ”
The Grey Horse didn't know whether he understood or not, and looked at him with wide eyes, then lowered his head and drank the water that flowed down the mountain.
Qin Hai turned his head and cautiously lurked towards the Qingzhen Ridge.
Found the ruined temple.
The temple was actually cleaned, and incense was offered in the incense burner.
The Tangut people believed in Buddhism, and even if the temple was broken, there were soldiers who came to worship.
It is not safe to hide in this place, Qin Hai sighed in his heart, but in order to spy on the news under the noses of the Western Xia people, where is the scout safe?
Qin Hai carefully pushed the incense case away, revealing a hole in the ground underneath, Qin Hai got into it, slowly moved the incense case back to its original place with his hands, and then crawled forward along the hole in the ground.
After a while, there was a little light ahead, a cellar with a faint oil lamp lit, and the three scouts had been in this harsh environment for several days.
Qin Hai was stunned and said, "Wu Kui, why do you look like this?" ”
Wu Kui was stunned, but his forehead was tattooed, so he was ruthless and cut the skin on his forehead with a knife. You can't just cut that piece and cut it in the face. Wu Kui grinned and said, "No, I can't go out." ”
Then the three of them put down the knives in their hands one after another.
I can't help it, I have to be on guard at all times.
Qin Hai looked at Wu Kui's big teeth, and thought of another person. Hu Qian.
He had heard about last year's case. I thought to myself. These brothers are really heroic, and so is that Sun Wei, who actually arrested these people as prisoners and locked them up for many days. No wonder God came to clean it up. That matter has already passed, we have to get down to business, Qin Hai said: "Wang Zhixian has an order." ”
He repeated Wang Ju's words.
"Well, Wang Zhixian wants to come to a big one," the three of them smacked their tongues together.
"The world knows the first war!"
Wu Kui's heart was surging and he said, "It's okay. I'm sure they'll say yes. ”
He leaned down on the wall to listen, and was sure that no one was coming, so he crawled out of the hole in the ground and swaggered to the Western Xia military camp. The main thing is that this is the rear, and most of the troops of Western Xia are people gathered from various departments, so no one pays attention to his bright brain.
Then Wu Kui found the Yeli Gu Realm. This time, the Western Xia gathered an army, and several Yeli tribes were also recruited hundreds of warriors to come over, but fortunately, they were only formed into two teams of military horses. All in the rear, all stationed in this area. Responsible for the transportation of logistics supplies, a hard job.
But the only people who know the truth are the wild Rigu realm and another person.
The others have not been leaked until now for the sake of secrecy.
The reason why Wu Kui is sure is that it is the condition set by Wang Ju.
Once after the war, several of their tribes migrated over, they would take out a few places with abundant water and grass, such as where Ji'er Village would be, and settle their people.
Secondly, they were going to set aside 20,000 yuan to buy some grain for horses, cattle and sheep for them, build a strong wall, equip some defensive weapons, build houses, and manage some daily necessities.
This is just the beginning, Wang Ju also promised to spend some money in the next 6 years to build some small water conservancy projects for them, such as building a small weir and building a diversion canal, and if they are willing to half-plow and half-graze, they will also send people to guide them on how to farm. Even the road in the rear was widened and leveled, and the rear was guaranteed to be in contact, so that it was convenient for the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty to come to emergency rescue when the Western Xia plundered.
and many other conditions.
These clans were forced the other side of the mountain, and as soon as they heard that Wang Ju had made such a condition, several patriarchs were red and angry, and they were all immediately moved on the spot.
In addition, in the beginning, their role was mainly to provide information. How to use it when it was critical, Wang Ju didn't think about it, but he knew that these clans would come in handy. Not only are there hundreds of Ding Zhuang in the barracks, but there are also Ding Zhuang in the rear stockade, and they are not very far from here, only a few dozen miles away, and the farthest is less than ninety miles.
If it is used well, the court will inevitably have rewards, and the policy will continue to be inclined in the future, and the latter article is very important, just like the Murong clan in Huanzhou, because of the support of the imperial court, it will grow rapidly.
Wu Kui walked aside with him to talk.
"No, we have few people, I'm afraid we can't do it." Ye Li Gu said.
"At the fourth watch, we will send two battalions of soldiers and horses to sneak over."
"That's sure, but how are your soldiers and horses coming?"
"If you come, you will act, but if you don't come, you will not act." Wu Kui said. He doesn't know the specifics.
In fact, it was a bit difficult, and scouts had to be sent to clean up the front line of Liyuan Fort from the morning, and the officers and men of the two battalions would come out of Liyuan Fort at noon, otherwise it would be too late. Then along the road where Wang Ju attacked Zali Village last time, it can't actually be called a road, almost most of the time is over the mountains and mountains, and you must sneak to the Zali Village in the evening. Where it has been hit hard, no people have migrated there so far.
This is the first step.
However, fortunately, after Zhang Yu's killing, there are not many people left, and a large number of soldiers will not be sent out to patrol.
There was a road leading to the White Leopard City in Zali Village, and then the army marched along this road, just as it was getting dark. It's hard to think that it's not dark, and if you can arrive at Zali Village at dusk, it's very fast.
But instead of sneaking to White Leopard City, after sneaking for more than ten miles, he began to climb over the mountains and mountains again, not too far apart, or even less than ten miles. But it is very difficult to climb over steep mountains and mountains in these ten miles. Of course, this will also become safe. There is a good way to walk, dare to walk? Then he came to the Twelve Pans to join the Yeli.
Wu Kui said again: "I have good news for you again, yesterday overnight, more than 30,000 people under Li Liangzuo were wiped out. ”
"Ah, no wonder there's some commotion ahead, so I'm more confident that everyone will agree."
After the two finished speaking, Yeli Gu took a few of his subordinates and caught a sheep. Come to the green ridge for a barbecue. However, I deliberately picked some damp dead leaves. Then it was lit, and immediately smoke rose up.
A group of patrolling soldiers immediately pounced and shouted, "What are you doing? ”
"We're roasting sheep."
"Is there such a roast lamb?" A small colonel came over and trampled on the fire, whipped a few people with a whip, and carried the sheep away, and several people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
But the soldiers on patrol never imagined that the smoke had risen, although it was not wolf smoke. It can't be seen by people dozens of miles away, but there are three places a few miles away, more than a dozen miles away, someone noticed the smoke, and noticed that it was rising from the Qingyi Ridge......
Ye Ligu led his men back with a foolish attitude, and it was not long before he rode his horse and quietly left the camp. However, after his departure, the Western Xia sent many soldiers to start building the Twelve Pan Fort, and it was not very far from the location of the granary. This change will be very detrimental to Wang Ju's entire plan.
…………
Xia Kai and Bao Zhao carefully climbed up the cliff.
The west mountain on which Dashun City is backed is not high, but after Fan Zhongyan built Dashun City. The later official 6 continued to make an expansion and wanted to expand the city wall. They had to take stones and soil, so the method they used was very similar to Wang Ju's method in Wangjiazhai, which was to deliberately dig out the cliff wall of the back mountain, take out some stones and clay, and add soil from other places to build the city wall.
In this way, the back hill is steeper.
Neither of them could barely find a place to borrow.
And there are enemies on all sides, and they can't call the Song army above.
So the two of them moved cautiously, inch by inch, upward, but before they had reached the halfway point, torches were lit on them, and several bows and arrows were coldly pointed at them.
Xia Kai hurriedly took out the military card from his arms, this really can't be misunderstood, being killed by his own people is called wronged.
Song Jun looked at the soldier card above, and Xia Kai said again: "We were sent by Cai Zhizhou to deliver the letter, Dashun City was surrounded on all sides, so we had to use this method to come up." ”
"Wait a minute," said a ten-admiral.
He quickly brought a rope from behind and hoisted the two of them up.
"Hurry up and take us to meet General Seed and Officer Zhang."
"Okay, come with me, by the way, brother, it seems that a lot of Western Xia soldiers and horses have been killed in the rear, right?"
"Well, thirty or forty thousand Western Xia soldiers and horses."
"How did I do it, no wonder I went up to the city to watch during the day, and the other party lost a large camp."
How can I actually say it, it is not false to say that I killed thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses, eight thousand soldiers and horses in the direction of Rouyuan Village, two units in Huachi County are twenty-three thousand soldiers and horses, but there are still many escapes, more than 1,000 people escaped in the direction of Jintang City, and nearly 3,000 people escaped from Ye Weima's men, but not all of them escaped with Ye Weima, many of them were killed, and finally escaped from the rear at the risk of danger, Zhang Yu was happy to kill, but the proportion of escapes was the highest, and there were also two or three thousand people. There are also people, they have not been caught, they are hiding in the mountains and forests, and even some people have lost their direction, some can escape in the future, and some will also be caught in the future, in addition, it depends on the situation, if the battle of the General Assembly rises and defeats the Tanguts, and the Chinese army is defeated and retreats, these people will have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground. So now the number of people killed or captured by the Song army is only about 23,000.
But even this loss is that Li Liangzuo can't accept it.
Of course, Xia Bao doesn't know the difference, am I wrong, isn't it more than 30,000 soldiers and horses? Not at all misdeclared.
The two were asked curiously as they were taken to the city.
Xia Kai took out a wax book from his arms and handed it to the seed doctor.
After the clinic, it was handed over to Zhang Ji to see.
Xia Kai said: "General Chong, Yao Tuiguan, if you agree, please send someone to light three torches on the top of the mountain and shake them three times." ”
There is no way around it, there are too many enemies, and the scouts will be in danger at any time. So you have to take some precautions.
For example, when the two of them came, they were repeatedly warned, even if they were captured, they would not blame you, and even warned them not to resist, maybe they could be rescued later, but they must be in front of the front, and take advantage of the enemy's inattention to eat the wax book into their stomachs.
When they arrived at Dashun City, they signaled with torches, and the scouts in the distance knew that the news had been sent to the city.
But fortunately, the water and soil in this area are not bad, there are many small rivers and streams, some of which flow into Yanqing water, some of which flow into Huachi water, plus they are located on the front line, and they are empty, so the vegetation is not strictly destroyed, there are many mountains and forests, and the mountains and steep mountains have become a good hiding place for scouts. Besides, these White Soldiers have been training for more than a year, and these jobs are no strangers to them.
If it is changed to those bare mountains and bald mountains in Wangjiazhai, 100,000 troops come, and the Western Xia people also attach importance to scouts, it will be a bit easier to do.
"The number of troops is still small. ”
"A lot, the rear was defeated, and it was also spread in the Western Xia army, if this plan succeeded, the enemy's morale would be even lower, and our army would win a great victory, with one as ten, this battle is not a strength that can be compared in numbers."
"Alright, get on the torch." (To be continued!)
