Yao Yi immediately ordered: "Immediately send the cavalry, outflank the left and right, Su Ping, you lead the two battalions of soldiers to the palace, responsible for receiving the villagers of Guojiazhai, if there are wounded, take turns to carry back to the fort, without delay." ”

"Whoa."

Yao Ji also personally got out of the city and got on his horse and went out of the city.

Why did the people from the west of Hongdezhai, Ansaibao, Yele Town, and Liyuanbao, including the people in the city, also evacuate?

In this battle, some forts can be lost, and it has nothing to do with intentional loss, but the disparity in strength is too great, and some forts are incomplete and cannot be defended. But some forts can never be lost, such as Dashun City, Huai'an Town, Liyuan Fort, Xigu Fort, Donggu Fort, even if Rouyuan Village is lost, these forts can not be lost.

But why not settle the people?

The idea is simple: to move the space.

The two sides used rare forces in this battle, including the Song Dynasty, and if the strong men and horses and the spontaneous militia were included, the total strength of the Song Dynasty was superior to the forces in the hands of Ge Huaimin in the Battle of Dingchuan.

The more than 30,000 Pimages are still in Ningzhou.

However, the remaining Song army, as well as the strong man and strong Maduo, were put to the front line, almost reaching 50,000 people. Of course, it depends on how to calculate, if these strong men and strong horses are excluded, it is only more than 30,000 warriors.

But no matter whether these more than 10,000 strong men and horses are considered real warriors, they must be regarded as people, materials, weapons, and food and grass. Then you have to have space.

In order to achieve the goal of clearing the wilderness, let the people transport all the clothing, grain and grass to the forts, and some people also transported some inconsequential things to the forts, which also occupied space.

But the most important one is the war horse. Because Wang Ju pushed. Several thousand cavalry were added to the entire Huanqing Road. This is a good thing, there are more cavalry, and the combat effectiveness is stronger, but these war horses cannot be placed in the wild. In fact, from now on, the entire field was ceded to the Tanguts, otherwise they might end up with Mizukawa and Sanchuankou, and there were too many enemies. How much space do these horses take up?

But how much space can each fort have? Even the current Dashun City is called a city. It's only 800 acres, not to mention other forts.

Only when the people are gone, can many empty houses be vacated to be used as warehouses, horse stalls, and military camps.

Liyuan Fort also has three battalions of cavalry, as well as more than 300 strong horses.

They all let Yao Ji take him out of the city.

Guo Kui asked behind him: "General Yao, is it very difficult to save the villagers in our village?" ”

Yao Yu frowned.

It's not very difficult, it's very, very difficult.

The situation has been going smoothly these days. It was even smoother than Wang Ju expected, but today it was because of these hundreds of Tibetan people. There was an accident.

Yao Ji couldn't help but think of the tragic battle a few years ago, if it wasn't for the accident that day, Hu Qian would not have died tragically, and he wouldn't have fought so fiercely, almost letting the Western Xia people catch their breath and turn the tide of the war.

Let's hope it doesn't end up badly this time.

But either you don't save it, and if you save it, you don't need to say it, Yao Ji was silent and didn't answer.

The wilderness is still icy and snowy, but it's close, and it's coming soon.

Yao Ji turned his head and said: "Songzi Pass is very close to Liyuan Fort, since the enemy dares to chase and kill the people of Guojiazhai here, then there should be some troops behind, and it is not far away." Therefore, we must make a quick decision and not delay. ”

"Whoa."

With a wave of his hand, the cavalry split into two roads and outflanked Songzi Pass along two snow-covered ravines.

Rounding the two small hills, they were in front of the enemy. But Xia Jun was also prepared.

The strength of the two armies was about the same, although Su Ping followed with two battalions of infantry in the back, but there were more troops behind the Xia army.

Yao Yu glanced up, there were still four or five hundred people on the pine nut pass, and more than two hundred Ding Zhuang fell in a pool of blood on the mountain, and the blood flowing on the snow bloomed with dazzling red.

But there are at least 1,000 people in the entire Guojiazhai, and it is estimated that the other people have already been killed in their village.

And most of these 400 people are women and children, and there are not many Ding Zhuang left. If Yao Yu had come a little later, all of these people would have been killed.

But the resistance of these people also killed some Western Xia soldiers.

This doesn't matter, the battle must end quickly.

Yao Ji clamped the horse with his legs, untied the big bow, aimed at a Western Xia man dressed as a general, pulled the bow full, put his hand down, and an arrow flew over like a meteor, and the Xia general was immediately shot off the horse.

Yao Ji continued to gallop with his horse in his arms, and killed another Xia general with another arrow.

Then he rehung his bow, drew his broadsword, and sprinted as he raised it.

In the blink of an eye, Yao Ji rushed to the front of Xia Jun, killed another Xia soldier with a knife, and continued to kill Xia Jun non-stop.

When Li Sangou assembled that day, he gambled fiercely on his mouth, he was a fan, and he looked at Wang Ju's face, what should I do, everyone had to let him. In fact, at this time, in terms of personal martial arts, whether it is Yao Ji, or Liu Changzuo, or Wang Junwan, Yan Da, Yao Lin, including Yao Ji's son Yao Xiong, they are all above Li Sangou. Lin Guang and the second species are also similar to Li Sangou. After all, Li Sangou is not the Li Sangou of the year.

Under his leadership, the cavalry of the Song Dynasty on the left also killed fiercely.

At the same time, the cavalry of the Song Dynasty on the right side also copied it.

In just a moment, the Tangut people gradually lost their opponents, so the inferior root nature of the Tangut immediately attacked.

This inferior nature refers to the fierce on the surface, but the cowardly in reality. As long as you lose the slightest defeat, you will immediately flee with your legs. It is far inferior to the Song army in this regard, and after the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has also suffered many heavy defeats, but look at the battles of Junziguan, Sanchuankou, Chenjiagu, and Haoshuichuan, almost the last man was left, and no one surrendered. As for the two battles of Gaoliang River and Qigou Pass, one is Zhao Kuangyi who took the lead in escaping, and the other is Cao Bin who took the lead in escaping, they all fled, can their subordinates not escape?

"Chase two miles." Yao gave a short order.

Everyone felt weird, why only chased two miles?

In fact, if it wasn't for the evacuation of these hundreds of people and giving them time to evacuate, Yao Yu wouldn't want to chase them for a mile.

Two miles. It'll be there in a moment. In the distance, there seemed to be a large army of shadows rushing towards this side. But there is still some way to go. Therefore, some soldiers were still unsatisfied and wanted to chase after them, but Yao Lerma stopped, and they had to stop.

"Let's go back." Yao said.

More than 1,000 Song troops turned their horses and walked back, they were good in this battle just now, with less than 50 casualties, but they killed two or three hundred Xia soldiers. However, Yao Ji's face remained gloomy and returned to Songzi Pass. Hundreds of people also went down the mountain, and the patriarch of Guojiazhai fell to the ground at once, and kept hitting the ground with his head: "Thank you General Yao, thank you General Yao." ”

Yao Ji looked at this money-greedy patriarch and didn't know what to say.

Didn't I withdraw and violate the laws of the Song Dynasty? Or is it Wang Ju's order, is there any mistake about it, we are not soldiers, and you are just an order, not an edict.

We're in trouble. I begged you for help, but if you don't save it, no one will force you to save it with a knife on your neck. You've saved you, we're thankful, what else is going to happen?

Thinking like this, Yao Ji felt very sad.

The main Guo family used to be more loyal to the Song Dynasty, and the people of the entire village all removed the original party surname and changed their surname to Guo, and their lifestyle and language were gradually sinicized. Otherwise, Yao Ji would not have come out to rescue in person.

It's your own person, and you can't say anything. Besides, they didn't know the true plan of the Song army.

Yao Yi was stunned for a moment before he said, "Immediately take your fellow villagers and return to the fort with you." ”

At this time, Su Ping also rushed over with two battalions of infantry, and some of them carried the wounded people on their backs and quickly went back. Now it's safe, the patriarch cried all the way, everyone didn't retreat, half of it was because of him, now it's okay, Ding Zhuang of the entire village sacrificed three-quarters, and even some women, old people and children were hacked to death by the Tanguts. As for the wealth, there is also the wealth of the fart.

He was crying, but Yao Ji couldn't cry even if he wanted to.

Sure enough, bad news arrived.

Liang Yi buried a part of the army in Dashun City, and a part of the army composed of all infantry, with three or four days of dry food, was following the difficult path, copying the back road of Anjiang Fort.

In fact, if Liang Yongneng's army attacked the city in front and pinned down the Song army, it would be very dangerous to walk from this trail. First, it is difficult to walk, especially in this weather, climbing mountains and mountains, which is extremely difficult. Second, the terrain is complex and easy to encounter.

But now it's not a big problem, and soon, even Rouyuan Village can't be divided into troops, so the ambush soldiers who came?

But it was the separation of these two armies, and the eighty or ninety thousand troops crossed the city of Daesun and came to the hinterland of Gyeongju.

Who knew that as soon as Liang Yizhu arrived at the bank of Huachi, he heard the news of the defeat of this cavalry army.

He said angrily: "Du Dola, you lead an army of 40,000 and immediately attack Liyuan Fort. ”

"General, this is not appropriate, the top priority is to take Rouyuan Village, not Liyuan Fort."

"Du Duo La, you are wrong, the top priority is not Rouyuan Village, but the Xinjiang Ballast Fort. Brother Runing has already gone to the ballast fort and will arrive tomorrow. At that time, the two sides will attack, and the ballast fort will be retracted. If Brother Ding and Liang Yongneng meet again, when the time comes, the north and south will attack, and they will definitely take Rouyuan Village. At that time, it was a good time to attack Rouyuan Village. ”

In fact, it is not far from Dashun City to the Xinjiang Ballast Fort, if you are in good health, you can arrive in two or three hours. Of course, the larger the number of troops, the slower the march, but in other seasons, it is at most half a day's journey.

However, in this icy and snowy land, you can't get up quickly.

Therefore, at least tomorrow morning, Ru Dingning will be able to lead the army to the city of the ballast fort.

It is more difficult to attack the ballast fort from the front, but it is very easy to attack from behind, plus Yao Lin is just a rookie, it will not be too difficult to take the ballast fort.

Besides, Liang Yi's troops are enough, 40,000 to attack Rouyuan Village, is there a difference between 80,000 attacking Rouyuan Village? There is no difference. Even if an army of 200,000 is sent to attack, the walls are so wide that they can accommodate it?

Du Duo was speechless, he thought for a while and asked: "General, are you sure that the Song army has returned to Dashun City." ”

"Are you afraid of death? Let me ask, with so many troops, what do we have to worry about? Liang Yi said angrily.

The news of the scout's inquiry is that he has returned to Dashun City. However, Song Ji became cautious this time, and also prevented Gao Min's army from setting up an ambush, so Guang sent scouts to look around, except for a few Song Dynasty scouts wandering in the field, no army noticed. Besides, with so many soldiers and horses marching now, there will always be footprints on the snow.

As for worrying, I am also worried, I am worried that there is a shortage of food and grass, and it is difficult to siege the city.

If you can't quickly take a few fortresses in the Song Dynasty and get supplies, and the time drags on for a long time, then there will be a crisis of grain and grass.

Siege has always been the biggest headache for the Tangut people. But this city still has to be attacked, Anjiang Fort, Rouyuan Village, Liyuan Fort, Xigu Fort, Meili Fort, none of them can be missing, only in that way can Dashun City become a lonely city, then can the Song army defending the city be forced to surrender. Or make the Song army lose morale and forcibly capture Dashun City. Only when Dashun City is taken down, and the materials, grain and grass behind it can be continuously transported to the army, then you can officially plot Gyeongju.

But how to capture these forts, after the setbacks of Dashun City, Liang Yi gradually became a little bigger.

As for whether it will fail, Liang Yibury didn't think about it at all, Dashun City is a special case, do other forts have that terrain? Without that terrain, even with that kind of shoes and that weird skateboard, it couldn't pose a fatal threat to the Western Xia army.

Therefore, Liang Yibury was overly careful about Du Dola, and he was extremely dissatisfied.

However, Du Duo Layan really thought wrong this time, and what Yao Ji was most worried about was that Western Xia divided a lot of troops and approached the city of Liyuan Fort...... (To be continued......) R1292
