Chapter 253: To the next level
The flood came and went quickly, and many people survived, some dirt bags, and some particularly high camp tents, including Ye Yanma, although they were sprayed wet with their clothes, but they were not pulled into the flood. â{2}{3}{}{x}
Even the soldiers who were pulled away by the flood were lucky enough to be alive, some were washed to the shore, some were clever and grasped something, and some were washed to low-lying places, as long as they did not rush into the water of Huachi with the flood, they all had a way to live.
There are also a large number of war horses, which have a higher chance of survival.
But for the time being, it looks really miserable, if the camp is large, there are only 3,000 people left, not even 3,000 people. And they were all cold and afraid, shivering in the howling night wind. Also, two thousand soldiers and horses in the forest.
However, Ye Weima was stupid, and he didn't know the order.
At this moment, the four battalions of Song Dynasty cavalry in the rear rushed forward.
Ye Weima heard the neighing of the horses in Liyuan Fort, yes, there are indeed horses in Liyuan Fort, but the horses of the people, the horses of strong horses, not the war horses of cavalry. Including the strength he saw, in fact, only one battalion of officers and soldiers was stationed in Liyuan Fort, and the rest were more than a thousand strongmen assembled by Wang Ju, the Song Dynasty was changing clothes, changing armor, and some inferior armor was re-furnaceed, and there were really a lot, and some of them could be barely used, and they were also retained, and now they come in handy, so that strongmen can wear them. The rest were Ding Zhuang, selected from among the people who had taken refuge in the city, posing as soldiers and strongmen, so it seemed that there were nearly 4,000 people.
In fact, the real main forces are scattered in some secret places south of the Cheonggyegawa River, or they are secretly marching in the direction of Liyuan Fort.
The rest was Ye commanding a battalion of officers and soldiers to be sent to Pingrong Town. and several soldiers and horses in the town of Pingjung itself. There are also officers and soldiers in Fengchuan Town. The town of Huachi is now an empty city. Only a few officials are maintaining order.
The Xixia people in the forest also knew, and they were also dumbfounded, who dared to rush across the Daliu Bridge and enter Huachi Town? Turn around now.
The 2,000 soldiers quickly moved the camp, and they didn't even want anything from the tents, and the flood was gone, but there were still puddles of water on the Pingchuan, and this was not in the way. But just as they were about to rendezvous, the four battalions of cavalry of the Song Dynasty came over.
"Run." Song Ji immediately shouted.
Don't look at the fact that there are still many people now, who has the morale to dare to fight back?
Then run away.
Ye Weima led his subordinates to fight a bloody way and fled in the direction of Liyuan Fort.
But he only escaped ** mile, and the two battalions of Song Dynasty soldiers stopped and killed him.
Kill and run.
This time, there was no ambush to intercept it, but the cavalry of the four battalions behind was biting hard, Wang Ju was riding on a horse, and he also killed two Western Xia people with arrows, but everyone stopped him. You are the backbone of the backbone and a civil official. Leave this killing to us. Wang Ju thought for a while and said, "Uncle Sangou, I'll hand it over to you to command, and I'll go to Rouyuan Village." â
"Okay." Li Sangou replied and continued to kill with the soldiers and horses. But there were only four battalions of cavalry, and the remaining two battalions of soldiers had to clean up the battlefield, and the war in the rear was not over, not only the soldiers of these two battalions, but also hundreds of people.
Before the water was released, Wang Ju had sent someone to notify all the nearby villages with people to come out, even if it was a woman.
Directly said to these people, the Song army flooded the Tangut people, the Tangut people were wiped out, now please come out to clean the battlefield, anyone who catches a prisoner of war or a war horse will be rewarded with two pieces of money. Those who collect weapons and armor materials will also be rewarded, and even tents and other materials and some non-standard weapons will be directly rewarded to you.
However, there is one clause that must not be kept privately, otherwise the military law will be punished.
This one is mainly about horses.
Now there is no shortage of horses for the Gyeongju cavalry, but there will be too few horses? In order to save expenses, there are two battalions of Baojie in Gyeongju, one battalion of Baojie in Huanzhou, six battalions of Baojie in Ningzhou, and five battalions of Baojie in Qianzhou. That is, the thirteenth battalion of Baojie, or learn from Wang Ju, and then select some of the strong from the volunteers to enrich it, so that each battalion can reach 500 people, how many war horses do you need?
However, in that case, Huanqing Road will have more than 10,000 cavalry, and this combat effectiveness will not be improved by a little bit.
After the two battalions of infantry completed the interception, they cooperated with the people to clear and suppress, and the same focus was to watch the war horses.
That's a lot of money, don't look at the two money, even if Huachi County is a little better now, it's not a lot of money, I think Wang Ju was doing a mule for a hundred yuan.
And then there is the hatred of the Tanguts.
Therefore, after hearing the notice of the soldiers sent by Wang Ju, everyone was puzzled, but the prestige generated by Wang Ju also made them believe it, and some people got up with a scream.
This move is equally ruthless, otherwise there are still many Tangut people who can escape. Just as they had recovered from their terror, countless torch-bearing people were gathered all over the hills, and now these people were so fighting that they were swept away by the flood before they even had time to get up.
Prisoners of war were being captured everywhere, and supplies for war horses were being seized everywhere. The scene was in full swing, and Cheng was no less than the Great Leap Forward.
The battle was once again transferred to Liyuan Fort.
Fleeing all the way and killing all the way, and finally escaped to Liyuan Fort, the sky was not yet dawn, it was the dawn hour, the darkest time. However, the movement was too great, and thousands of Xixia soldiers in Liyuan Fort were also awakened.
Then they were also dumbfounded, why did the Great Commander bring 15,000 soldiers, and now there are only a few hundred soldiers, and they are still being chased and killed so badly by the Song army?
Ye Weima shouted from afar: "Be prepared." â
However, that would give him a chance.
Yao Ji laughed at the head of the city and said, "Rush and kill." â
He only has a battalion of officers and soldiers in his hands, and the rest are strong men and ordinary Tibetan Ding Zhuang, but who wouldn't beat the water dogs?
Thousands of soldiers and civilians slaughtered out of the city again.
It was not over, the Song army still had soldiers and horses, and two more battalions of officers and soldiers killed them from behind.
For a while, the Western Xia soldiers of Liyuan Fort didn't know how many Song Dynasty soldiers and horses came in, and Guan Jian Ye Bima didn't have time to explain now, what everyone saw was that he was killed so badly, so miserable that there were only more than 100 people left, so when the two battalions of Song Dynasty soldiers entered the Western Xia military camp, finally some Western Xia people did not dare to fight, and fled in the direction of Dashun City. This one fled with the others.
Li Sangou continued to lead the cavalry and strong horses. Chase and kill in the back. After chasing for more than ten miles, it stopped.
Continue to clean up the battlefield. But Li Sangou set off again, and there were still enemies on the side of Pingrong Town.
âŚâŚâŚâŚ
Wang Ju rode a horse and ran quickly, but before he arrived at Rouyuan Village, Zhang Yu was leading his men to chase and kill the Xixia people.
He's called ruthless, he doesn't leave a living, why stay, he will be released back after a few months. And he can't be as "shameless" as Wang Ju. The prisoners of war were tortured to death before they were released. It's better to simply kill it clean.
Wang Ju stepped forward and said, "Manager Zhang, you can't kill it." â
"Hey, Wang Zhixian, why are you here?"
"Then 20,000 soldiers and horses will be killed by me."
"Ahh
"Let's talk about this after dawn, this prisoner of war can't be killed."
"Why don't you kill?"
"Money."
Think about it, an unpaid laborer does not have to pay salary, and he does not even have to worry about "human rights", laws, or good food, let alone life safety and compensation. How much income will be generated in a year under the mine?
This is the fear that someone will gossip and cannot be auctioned publicly. It can be sold to various mine owners by some unconventional means, otherwise a mine slave can be sold for at least forty or fifty yuan.
"It's a bit of a big deal, right."
"Manager Zhang, don't worry, you don't need to come forward, there will be some channels to sell, and the money will go into the pockets of tens of thousands of meritorious soldiers, will the imperial court deal with tens of thousands of soldiers who have made great contributions?"
"Hahaha, in your opinion, order, give an order immediately, surrender and not kill." Zhang Yu said.
Then he said: "Yao Patrol made you take it bad, and I also let you take it bad." â
"It's not that it's broken, but it's going to bring out an iron army."
"Not bad, not bad."
"You're busy, I'll go to Gyeongju City." Wang Ju said. Zhang Yu was happy with this busy, and continued to beat the water dog.
Wang Ju rushed to Gyeongju City again.
When the day began to dawn, Wang Ju entered the city, found Cai Ting directly, and said, "Cai Gong, great victory." â
"Tell me."
Wang Ju briefly reported the battle situation, as for the Liyuan Fort, he hadn't seen it yet, but there would be no problems over there, if that was the case, Yao Ji and Li Sangou would not be able to fight well, and they should not be called the future Eryao and Yeli Yu beggar favorite generals.
"Cai Gong, I have an arrangement," Wang Ju said his plan again.
"We have few troops." Cai Ting was a little hesitant. If we follow the original goal, we have now achieved 100 percent, or even 200 percent.
I believe that after Li Liangzuo heard about it, he would hesitate for two or three days at most and would inevitably withdraw from the army.
There is no way to fight anymore, send troops again, what if it ends up like this again? At that time, the Song army joined forces with the officers and soldiers of Dashun City, and the entire army was annihilated. He could only retreat, and as soon as he retreated, Cai Ting was also satisfied, and he and the soldiers of Gyeongju not only repelled Li Liangzuo's 100,000 troops, but also killed Li Liangzuo's 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses. This is not only a victory, it is already a brilliant victory, no less than the victory of Tumaochuan. Of course, Zhang Kang's situation was even worse at that time, and the troop resources in his hands were less than one-tenth of that of Gyeongju now.
However, Wang Ju was very ambitious, and he stared at Li Liangzuo's Chinese army.
"Cai Gong, think about the Battle of Weishui, once we complete the arrangements I have laid out, it will be better than the Battle of Weishui. And the gap in forces is not so large. Now how many soldiers and horses have come from Western Xia, it is an unknown number, it is planned to be 100,100,000 people, and now Western Xia has folded 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses, how many soldiers and horses are there in Dashun City? â
"Let so-and-so think about it."
"Cai Gong, if it ends now, it will be just a great victory for Mao Chuan, not even as good as it. But if you catch up with the victory, it will be a battle that will go down in history, and even Cai Gong you will be comparable to Xie An in the future. â
"Don't fool me, you kid."
"It's not demagoguery, it's a fact, and the time is really limited, Li Liangzuo may soon receive the news of the fiasco of the two divisions, he will definitely be unwilling today, and he will definitely be angry, but this anger will be at most a day or two, and he will have to make a choice if he goes down, then it must be to withdraw the army. When the time comes, it will be too late for anything. â
"Can the officers and soldiers of several battalions in Huachi County keep up?" Cai Ting asked: If Wang Ju's plan is adopted, the officers and men of several battalions in Huachi County will be the main force, without him, they have been training for the longest time, and have achieved several great victories, and their morale, martial arts, and actual combat experience are far superior to other officers and soldiers in Gyeongju.
But this individual lĂŹ has to be considered.
Wang Ju almost cheered in his heart, this is Cai Ting agreed with his opinion, he said: "Cai Gong, don't worry about this, the battle in Liyuan Fort won't last long." â
In terms of a battle, it may be carried out for a long time, such as the Xining Vaxia of the Song Dynasty, but in terms of a battle, it generally does not last too long, even if the collision battle between the two famous generals Li Jilong and Yelu Huge, the battle of the Tang River and the battle of the Xu River, the victory and defeat are decided in a short time, and then the pursuit battle is carried out.
Cai Ting nodded, this is easy to understand.
Then the battlefield was cleaned, and the infantry quickly rested. Only the four battalions of cavalry worked a little harder, and they still had to rush to Pingrong Town, according to the news reported by the scouts yesterday afternoon, three thousand enemy soldiers were attacking Zewei Village, and it seemed that they wanted to go south and reach Huachi Town to join the main army of Western Xia. However, there is a road from Liyuan Fort directly to Zewei Village, and Xiaguan has also arranged it. Their main task was to defeat the enemy, and the rest was handed over to the battalion of officers and soldiers, the strong men, and the villages. They can also get a few hours of rest. And they have just won a big victory, and their morale is high, which is also a good point. â
Cai Ting pondered.
Of course, if it is a big victory, although it is not as good as the battle between Xie An and Weishui, it will also be a rare big victory after Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty, and maybe he will enter the two mansions.
However, if you lose, you will not only take the current big victory, but you will also lose nothing, and even have a major accident on Huanqing Road, at least Dashun City will be lost. Although the Western Xia side was a crushing victory. (To be continued!)
