Chapter 476: Drumming (Part II)
"Actually, we can launch a general attack," said one of the commanders, standing on the top of the West Mountain. โณ Top Novel,www.
By tomorrow, more troops will arrive in Western Xia. But don't forget it, there are also soldiers in the rear of Dashun City, Liyuan Fort, Rouyuan Village, Yele Town, Huachi City, Pingrong Town, these forts, the farthest away from Dashun City is only sixty or seventy miles away.
Their forces can be transferred to Dashun City at any time.
This is Wang Ju's reputation in Gyeongju, otherwise this commander can say that if he had reinforced 10,000 Baojie troops and placed them in the surrounding forts, then the disparity in strength would not be so great, and then this drum beat might become a deadly drum beat for the Tangut people.
Zhang instructed that when the old man was discussing with Wang Zi'an, Wang Zi'an deliberately instructed the old man, maybe he expected that with his arrangements, there would be some good situations in Dashun City. But don't be proud. Wang Zi'an then said, in the battle of Julu, Xiang Yu won more with less, that was the morale of the Chu soldiers, although Chu had three households, the death of Qin would be Chu. Does our army have the morale and courage to do so? โ
The commander shook his head.
"In the battle of Guandu, if Cao Mengde has no Xu Yu to vote, can he turn defeat into victory? The Battle of Chibi was because Cao Mengde was a northerner and completely ignorant of the water nature and climate of the south. But are the people of Western Xia familiar with the climate of Gyeongju now? The battle of Weishui was even more lucky. As for Han Xin and Li Jing's many times of winning more with less, how many people can match the two of them? โ
These two are the true gods of war.
is that Zhao Kuangyin is alive, and Chai Rong, who was underestimated by later generations, is resurrected, and the two are not as good as Han Xin and Li Jing in military talent. Wang Ju is even more not!
"Therefore, Wang Zi'an does not like that kind of risky gambling battle, and besides, there is no need for this gambling battle. Therefore, Wang Zi'an instructed a certain one. If someone takes it lightly. Trying to force a request to play. In terms of military law. โ
Actually, there is no need for this.
Now the main thing is to weaken the morale of the Xia people, which is actually very important.
Then put them in.
There will be a decisive battle, but not now, it is okay to take advantage of the opportunity now, but the real decisive battle is actually risky.
Even if they defeated Liang Yiburi's main force, they could calmly retreat to the rear, and they could only win. Take such a big risk. Maybe Dashun City will be lost, maybe the Song army will also be defeated, just a win, it will be too worthless.
But this detailed plan, Dou Shunqing will not reveal to an instructor.
However, this kind of nearly 90,000 Xia soldiers playing monkeys and playing like child's play did greatly boost the morale of the Song army.
There were soldiers in the city who couldn't sleep, got up, and deliberately watched the appearance of the Western Xia wolf bรจi.
And it began to dawn.
"Sure enough, as Ming Gong expected," Lin Guang watched the actions of the Western Xia army. I couldn't help but sigh.
Gao Min's expression was also strange, although Wang Ju made him into eleven generals. Although he was still on the ancient planting, he was still very dissatisfied in his heart. However, at this time, I have to admit that Wang Ju is a hundred times stronger than Li Fugui, and he is only one step away from the legendary "strategizing and winning thousands of miles away".
Actually, it's not that godly.
Of course, the combination of the wisdom of Wang Ju and Zhang Qi is indeed very terrifying, and the two are good friends and cooperate tacitly, so the two of them joining forces can be said to be not much worse than the current Wang Shao.
This is not important, the important thing is that Wang Ju is familiar with Gyeongju Match, especially in the area of Dashun City.
If it is a different place, then Wang Ju's plan will be greatly reduced.
Also, is Liang Yi buried? If Li Yuanhao is replaced to command, even if Wang Ju and Zhang Qi cooperate, even if Wang Zhang and Zhang are familiar with Gyeongju, it will give the two of them a headache.
But at this point, it was enough to convince everyone.
Dou Shunqing didn't speak again, but took out the telescope and looked west.
An ice field world appeared outside the city of Dashun, and the shining ice began from the Hao River and extended for several miles to the west. So much so that many Tanguts had to relocate their tents last night. However, the Western Xia army still looked very strong, although it had lost more than 6,000 people, the Xia army still had more than 80,000 soldiers and horses, and the camp also stretched for several miles. If you stand on flat ground, you can hardly see the end.
And with the help of the telescope, Dou Shunqing saw that more than ten miles away, a considerable number of Xia troops appeared. This is not surprising, Liang Yiburi's army is the main army, since the Western Xia is known as a 300,000 army, then at least not less than 250,000 troops. Then this main army will have at least 100,000 soldiers and horses. How many soldiers and horses, this is not something that the scouts can find. However, there must be troops coming in the rear one after another, and there are even quite a few of them.
Dou Shunqing put down the binoculars.
This thing will be combined with another thing, as well as a complex flag language, and will appear together when the real battle comes. At that time, the eyes of the Tangut people will be blinded......
Then he looked out of the city again.
There are flat rivers on both sides of Dashun City, but this flat river is not very wide. In the same way, it is not really flat, the middle is flat, and the two sides are uneven, which is also higher than the middle. It is impossible for the water to spread to both sides, even if the water village becomes a water flood Jinshan Temple, it will not be able to flood the rivers on both sides.
Groups of Western Xia soldiers, carrying siege equipment, including some simple large trebuchets, waded through the icy center of Pingchuan to Nanchuan, and then pressed in the direction of Shuizhai.
"Lin Guang, take out a thousand catties of mutton, as well as wine, and send them to the officers and soldiers of the three armies of the 11th Brigade."
"Whoa."
"Gao Dujian, you go back immediately, let your subordinates eat and drink well, and recuperate their energy."
"Okay."
"Take care of this business."
"We know."
"Also, don't blame Wang Zi'an, in fact, when we talked about our hearts that day, Wang Zi'an said, I am not evil to the eunuchs, and some eunuchs are outstanding, not only Qin Han, including Wang Ming and other eunuchs, are far better than ordinary generals."
"What can our family blame?" Gao Min smiled bitterly. In the Song Dynasty, the military generals were not valuable, and the eunuchs were not worth much, don't look at him as a capital eunuch, even if Wang Ju stuck him, there would be no scholars and doctors to fight for him.
Dou Shunqing went to the water village.
The Tangut people began to attack Shuizhai on the other side, and they did not really attack Shuizhai, so they could only pay Yan zhรฒng sacrifice in vain. The so-called assault. It was just to lay some trebuchets on the dirt hill to the south. Keep throwing boulders into the water.
The rest of the army hurled insults in front of the water village.
The Song army went out of the city to fight. That's right. There was no way to attack the city, but when it came to the field, the Song army had few troops, and they had to find death. The Song army did not go out of the city to face the battle, so even if they scolded, the morale lost yesterday would come up.
"It's really as Ming Gong expected." Lin Guang couldn't help but sigh again.
But he frowned again and said: "If the Xixia people also have tiger cannons, it will still have an impact." โ
The trebuchets of Western Xia were throwing stones, and there were still a few giants thrown into the village. Let the Song army inflict a small number of casualties. But what if it is replaced by a large tiger cannon of the Song Dynasty.
"Lin Guang, if this assumption is not true, how can the Western Xia people have tiger cannons."
This thing was also very troublesome to manufacture in the Song Dynasty, and after several improvements, today's Tiger Cannon is becoming more and more complex. Even if Xixia was lucky enough to capture a batch of tiger cannons, just like in Funing Village, there was no way to imitate them.
Not to mention, the thirty or forty large and small tiger cannons seized from Funing Village really let Liang Yi bury bring them, but the Xixia people have not yet invented wrenches and Qizi, so they dare not disassemble them. So they could only be transported in their entirety, so they were still behind and did not arrive. And also in transit. Another batch was damaged. A few more doors were left for the craftsmen to study. There are only about 20 Tiger Cannons left, of which only seven or eight are large Tiger Cannons.
Even if it is transported, it still cannot produce a fatal threat to the water village.
Then let the Xixia people scold slowly, Dou Shunqing only issued an order to let the soldiers pay attention to the stone bullets that flew over by luck when they were in Nanshan.
It was noon.
The Tangut people were almost tossed, the Song army was eating meat and drinking wine at the head of the city, and some people stood up and shouted outside the city: "You are jumping around like fools, are you tired?" โ
โฆโฆ Just one sentence made the Tangut people depressed again.
Song Ji didn't see it well, thought about it, and asked the soldiers to go to the army to find some women's dirty clothes, and the women who came at this time, yes, the Makui Army in Western Xia was a special army composed of party women.
Then Song Ji asked people to hang under the city, and sent people to shout: "The cowards of the Song Dynasty have a kind of coming out of the city to fight." โ
A very familiar scene, it has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang, but a kind of man, when he attacked Luo Wucheng, he gave three pieces of women's profane clothes to Luo Wucheng's Western Xia chief general Dora, and used this humiliation to provoke Dora to take the initiative to come out to fight.
This trick seemed to work, and the Song army at the head of the city also ate and drank enough, so the drums sounded again, the city gate gradually opened, and the drawbridge also faintly fell.
"It's out, it's out," Liang Yi was overjoyed, and immediately ordered to prepare for battle.
However, as soon as the formation was organized, the gates were closed again, and the drawbridge was retracted. But one of the generals at the head of the city shouted, "Fools, there is a kind of siege to the city." โ
"Master Song, it still doesn't seem to work."
"General, don't worry, it's best for the Song army to get out of the city, and it's also expected that we can't go out of the city, we don't want to take Dashun City at the moment, but to boost morale."
Liang Yi buried it and thought about it.
Song Ji said: "I have another way. โ
Under his order, he summoned more than a dozen Ma Kui soldiers, and summoned more than a dozen Bang Ling Lang, let Bang Ling Lang make Song soldiers, lie on the ground, and then let Ma Kui soldiers ride on them, and kept whipping these Bang Ling Lang with their hands, while shouting: "Kill you Han soldiers who have no seeds." โ
Although the Song Dynasty was not as old-fashioned as the Ming Dynasty, it was still inferior to men. Sure enough, it had another effect, the drums sounded again, the gates opened wide, and the drawbridge slowly fell.
It's almost coming out this time.
Liang Yi watched with his eyes buried in his eyes.
Sure enough, this time it really came out, thousands of Song troops poured out of the city, and the drawbridge gradually flattened.
"Prepare for war, prepare for war." Liang Yibury said happily.
As a result, seeing that the drawbridge was about to be flattened, it suddenly pulled back again, and the Song army also returned to the city. A general at the head of the city shouted: "You colliding with Linglang are the people of Western Xia, or the tribe of Western Xia." Isn't it because you are inferior by nature, and you are especially happy? โ
You can't play anymore, and if you play again, then there will be a split in the army. Liang Yibury hurriedly ordered these Ma Kui girls to go back with Bang Linglang.
As a result, in the afternoon, after four or five times of singing, the Xixia people were only poor and tossed, and as for the morale, God knows if it has risen.
Dou Shunqing looked at the sun and said, "Gao Dujian, it's time." โ
Gao Min nodded.
He went down to the city, quietly gathered all the six well-nourished officers and soldiers, and shouted with three thousand soldiers and horses: "Those who do not obey the order will be killed." โ
"No, kill!"
"Delay the fighter, kill!"
"Defectors, kill!"
"Leak military information, kill!"
"Anyone who violates military discipline, kill!"
After yelling, Gao Min said: "This time, you must not obey my orders, if you don't listen, our family will definitely be punished by military law, and there will be no mercy." โ
A capital head Mo Ming asked, "Gao Dujian, what do you want us to do?" โ
"We're going to march alone, and there's going to be some danger. Although there is danger, it is also a good time to make contributions and be promoted. If someone sacrifices, Wang Zi'an has promised our family that he will pay extra attention to you. โ
This concern, everyone will understand, after all, there are so many troops, Wang Ju can't be specialized.
"So what are we going to do?"
"Get out of the city and fight! But don't worry, so far, you have also seen the combat effectiveness of the Tangut people. Besides, you have these special shoes. โ
In order to keep it secret, I didn't let everyone wear it before, and it wasn't until yesterday that the three thousand soldiers and horses were completely dressed and changed their shoes, just to let everyone have a familiar process. There was also ice at the gate of the city, and when you reached the outside of the city, there was ice and snow on the various mountain roads.
This non-slip shoe will make a big difference.
Another head asked: "Gao Dujian, where is Ming Gong now?" โ
"Ming Gong will not leave you." Gao Min replied vaguely.
"Did he really come to Gyeongju?" Many soldiers cheered.
"Military secrets, don't answer for the time being." Gao Min is also helpless, it stands to reason that it is best not to say it now, but after all, there are many risks in this industry, and he has to let his subordinates take a reassuring pill. Who made them trust Wang Ju very much?
The drums beat again...... (To be continued......) R527
