Chapter 477: Drumming (Continued)
It has sounded four or five times, and if you add the drums from last night, it has already sounded seven or eight times.
And jumping up to now, everyone is tired of jumping, so the Xixia people watched the city gate fight, and the Song army walked out of the city, and they were a little lax.
Even Liang Yibury didn't bother to let the three armies line up to prepare for battle.
Suddenly, the Song army ran up, and at the same time the suspension bridge fell quickly, the Song army in front just ran to the Hao River, and only heard a "clang" sound in the back, and the suspension bridge rested on the trench. There is no way to do this, if you run from the Hao River, the ice is too thick and slippery, which will affect the overall marching speed, so you can only lower the drawbridge.
The Song army continued to rush at a frantic pace.
But it was not the officers and soldiers of the 6th Battalion of the 11th Brigade, but the 7th Battalion, as well as the 1st Battalion of Baojie Infantry belonging to the 1st Brigade under Dou Shunqing.
Liang Yibu was stunned at first, why could the Song people run so fast, because the steep door in the water village was closed, and many places in front of the water village were also flooded with water yesterday, and ice was also accumulated.
But now the Song army was running, only occasionally one or two Song soldiers slipped and fell, but they quickly stood up and continued to run. So Liang Yibury was puzzled.
Just when he was stunned, Song Jun had already pounced in front of Xia Jun.
"Array, array," Liang shouted frantically.
However, where is it in time, it is too close, the distance from the suspension bridge to the Xia army is only three or four hundred steps, and the Song army is running at the speed of a sprint, how long can it take?
``
Liang Yi gave the order, and the Song army had already rushed into the camp of the Xia army, and one by one they drew out their knives and slashed and killed.
Wang Ju looked at the armor relatively lightly, but if the three armies were really equipped with sophisticated armor, the epoch-making armor. That would also affect the war. For example, the knife in Song Jun's hand now.
After Wang Ju led the craftsmen of the Ordnance Supervision to improve it repeatedly. It's even more powerful. It's also more lethal.
In the blink of an eye, the dense Xia army of twenty or thirty thousand made these thousands of Song troops disrupt the formation. However, the Xia people had too many troops, and watching the battle begin, the Xia army behind them kept rushing over. After a while, the speed of Gao Min's officers and soldiers of the Seventh Battalion was gradually blocked.
"Lin Guang, you bring two battalions of cavalry to kill, but you have to listen to the command of so-and-so." Dou Shunqing said.
"Whoa."
Two battalions of Song cavalry killed again.
There were not many of them, but they were all cavalry. Immediately, it caused even greater confusion in the Western Xia army.
Liang Yi was a little dazed.
After a whole day, I was looking forward to the Song army going to battle, but when I left the city, this situation appeared.
Song Ji was even more anxious, because he came up with the idea, so he immediately ordered Layan to lead an army directly into the middle camp, trying to cut off the two Song armies.
There is nothing wrong with this command in theory, if it is really cut off, then these more than 3,000 infantry will not be able to return to the city. Then taking down these more than 3,000 Song troops can be regarded as establishing a good start. Boosted morale.
Gao Min also saw a wave of Xia troops inserted into his rear, and he shouted, "Rush with me." ”
Don't think he's a eunuch, the actual force value is also very strong. He took the lead in rushing to the southwest.
To the southwest are the mountains, most of which are not high, but they are always mountains. At this time of year, the mountains are covered with snow and ice. So it is also a place where the Xia army is weak. At the same time, Dou Shunqing at the head of the city used an order to let Lin Guang lead the army back to the city.
This time Song Ji was also dumbfounded.
His command just now was to cut off the return route of Gao Min's seven battalions of Song troops.
But Song Jun didn't return to the city, who would have expected?
Just when he was stunned, Gao Min had already tore open a hole and rushed into the rugged mountain road.
"Chase."
Xia Jun chased after him.
However, on the mountain road, the problem came again, there were still a large number of cavalry in the Western Xia army, but how much of a role the cavalry could play on the mountain road, not to mention the ice and snow on all the mountain roads at this time. If you let the infantry chase, one wears non-slip boots and the other does not wear non-slip boots, how can you catch up.
But Gao Min stopped and let Xia Jun approach.
Seeing Xia Bing approaching, Gao Min said: "Qi Command, Huang Command, prepare to shoot." ”
Both battalion commanders are armed with the Divine Arm Bow, but they are also equipped with a new type of sword. They mainly used bows, supplemented by knives, and the officers and soldiers of the four battalions protected them in the middle of the charge just now, and the casualty rate was the lowest.
The Xia army was still frantically pursuing. They are also bloody, and they have been killed inexplicably for the past two days, and they are all a little annoyed.
Seeing that they were approaching two hundred paces, hundreds of arrows flew towards them.
At this time, the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the seventh battalion were calm, although they didn't know why Gao Min led them out of the city, but on this mountain road, the Xixia people couldn't catch up if they wanted to, so they all calmed down, so the arrows could also be aimed at it.
Immediately, more than a hundred Xia soldiers fell.
Then I shot again, three waves in a row.
Gao Min said: "Withdraw." ”
Started running away again.
But after only escaping a few hundred steps, Gao Min asked his subordinates to stop again.
Now it's Xia Bing's turn to be distressed, to chase or not to chase. The road became more and more rugged, and several soldiers did not pay attention, and they all slipped and fell to the ground, rolling down the mountain, only to hear their screams, and did not know whether they were dead or alive. If you don't chase it, you can't swallow this breath.
Gao Min was very happy and shouted loudly: "Liang Yiburi, you are a defeated general, listen to it, if you have a kind, you will catch up, and if you don't chase it, you will go home and eat your sister's milk." ”
This was a thrill, and Xia Jun had no choice but to chase after it. As a result, more than 100 soldiers fell.
Fortunately, Levashanro, the general behind him, calmly stopped him.
Seeing that Xia Jun didn't chase, Gao Min said, "Let's go." ”
It's dark again.
The big tent of the Western Xia Chinese army was silent, and several main generals were crying with sad faces, as if they had died of their families.
The reason why the water village was attacked was to boost morale, but in the battle just now, nearly a thousand soldiers and horses were lost. The morale is still a ghost.
Liang Yibury picked up a pair of shoes and said, "That's why they're not afraid of ice." ”
In the rush just now, some officers and soldiers of the seventh battalion also died. But what made Liang Yi feel cold was that there were still several Song soldiers who were injured, and Gao Min didn't have time to rescue and was thrown down, but these soldiers would rather die than give in, and none of them surrendered. Liang Yi buried a captive and did not catch it.
Such an army. Is it still a weak Song?
Everyone looks at the shoes first. Don't underestimate this shoe. You can see a lot of things. Not only is it not afraid of slipping, but it is also ...... Why was the Song Dynasty able to make this shoe in advance.
Don't think that non-slip shoes are simple, in this day and age, it's just not simple. Now that the Tangut people have got it, when they have successfully researched and imitated it, and equipped it in the army on a large scale, I am afraid that it will have already bloomed. Can you wait until then?
"Was the Song Dynasty prepared?"
"Not necessarily, maybe they heard that we have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops. Therefore, some non-slip shoes were urgently equipped and transported to the front line, not only in Dashun City, but also in the border forts of other states in the Song Dynasty. General, it's that kid who presides over the ordnance superintendent......" Song Ji said stiffly.
That kid refers to Wang Ju.
It is precisely because Wang Ju presides over the weapons supervision that there are such shoes, and there is that kind of more powerful fire oil.
This is also an explanation.
"And even in the Song Dynasty, there was not a lot of preparation, maybe the time was too rushed, just like yesterday. Many Song soldiers walked on the ice and also skidd. ”
"That's you. Why do you want to attack the water village, "Du Duo La's can't bear it, and he asked.
"Then General Dudo, what do you have to do?"
In the face of the Song Dynasty's strange style of play, what good way can Du Lapa be found.
"Okay, okay, don't talk too much, let's negotiate what to do next." Liang Yi buried and persuaded. is still protective of Song Ji, since the last battle of Dashun City, Song Ji has taken the initiative to show favor to him, and he is Liang Yi's confidant.
Du Dora swallowed a breath of anger and said, "General, the question is why did that army go out of the city? And where did it go? ”
"How?"
"They have these boots, and they can march down mountain trails. But where are they going? Detouring behind us, it's freezing and we can't survive, and we won't make the same mistake as last time. Or go to Rouyuan Village and go to the Xinjiang Ballast Fort, which is also unreasonable. ”
"Let's be clear."
"If you go to Rouyuan Village, it is not that Rouyuan Village lacks soldiers at this time, but that Dashun City lacks soldiers. If you go to the Xinjiang Ballast Fort, it is the front line, the Song people sent many scouts to inquire about our news on the front line, and we also sent many scouts to inquire about the news of the Song people. With the appearance of such an army, it is impossible for the scouts on General Liang Yongneng's side not to pay attention. Besides, if it is an increase in troops, why not send troops from the rear such as Rouyuanzhai to increase troops? ”
"It's all do, you think about it too much, they do this just to hit the morale of our army, and then to confuse our army." Song Ji Dao.
"Master Song, tell me why."
"Like that hateful drum, they must have confused us by doing so, but in fact they are not, one is confused, and the other is to discourage our army. This time I suddenly went out of the city to respond to the battle, and our army was caught off guard and suffered a small loss, and it was not good to attack Shuizhai again in the future. Then they made a detour and entered Dashun City from the back of Dashun City. ”
Therefore, Wang Ju is happy for Song Ji to be reused by Liang Yi, which is a very cheating master. I'm not afraid of empty seeds, I'm not afraid of full jars, I'm afraid of half jars of vinegar, and it's more plausible and more pitiful.
But now Liang Yibury thinks that Song Ji is very reasonable.
Song Ji said again: "General, the armies on both sides are almost in place, and from tomorrow, immediately send people to sweep away the snow on the mountain road." The methods of the Song people can also be used by our army. While sweeping away the snow on the mountain road, he sent people to immediately make plates, and then used water and mud to build this ice wall on the east and west sides of Dashun City. That would not only completely seal Dashun City, but also not too many troops would be needed. The rest of the forces advanced to the rear of the enemy. ”
"Let's do it."
Du Dola said on the side: "If this is the case, it is better to send someone to contact General Liang Yongneng, and when he attacks the ballast fort, we will send an army to endure a little hardship, go around the trail to the rear of the ballast fort, attack on both sides, and take the ballast fort." Otherwise, the road will not be smooth, and I am very worried. ”
This is also a fact, and by the evening of this day, all ninety percent of the troops had arrived, and Liang Yizhi had enough troops to squander.
Therefore, Liang Yibury nodded again.
Just then, the drums were heard outside...... (To be continued......) R1292
