Chapter 196: The Break (Part II)
A woman drove the flock, singing sorrowfully:
"I'd rather shoot a goshawk than a rabbit, and I'd rather catch a tiger than a fox.
It will not be dark with light, and it will not be weak with strength.
Zhang Gong is weak and does not let go of the arrow, and he does not open his mouth if he speaks unfortunately.
People have wisdom and are not vulgar, and arrows dare to enter the mountains.
Don't climb down if you're timid, and don't surrender when you're exhausted.
The intestines are wrapped around the waist, and the abdomen is filled with a grass plug.
When a beauty wears a leather jacket, she will not become ugly.
Warriors sit behind people and don't get weaker. ”
This is the folk song of the Qiang people, without rhyme with battle, and the ballad of colloquial language.
Yan Dutou said unhappily: "What about the warriors, they are all a group of robbers!" ”
"Don't be excited, the party members are still martial, and I don't have a good appearance for the soldiers, so they look down on them. The order went down, and when the attack was made later, it was not allowed to kill women, children, old and children. ”
"Ming Gong, the Western Xia woman is fierce, and there is a Ma Kui army ......"
"Yan Dutou, don't say it again, what he is not kind does not mean that I am not benevolent, this is the difference between my Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia." Wang Ju said.
The Western Xia woman was fierce and brave, how could he not know, and in the future Xining War, the Xiao Liang clan in Naxingzhou once led a group of Ma Kui troops to kill the middle soldiers and horses of the Song army to lose their armor and run away.
However, Wang Ju still can't use a butcher's knife against a woman.
At this time, there were countless people watching outside the city of Gyeongju.
Ordinary soldiers were escorted to build roads, but this time many generals were also captured, and Wang Ju and Yao Ji sent people and horses to Gyeongju City together.
The spectators were like mountains, and some of the people were so angry that they threw mud and stones at the dozens of Western Xia generals.
The group entered the city.
Xiangyu stood in the attic with the child in her arms and looked down, and then said, "Official." This little magistrate is not easy to mess with, and the officials must not make him angry. ”
Song Ji was silent and didn't speak, he also knew that it was not easy to mess with, but Wang Ju stayed in Huachi County, which was not a thing. And Wang Ju brought several servants from Yanzhou, these people don't know themselves, but maybe they know their wives, and the Song Dynasty is a grinding system, Wang Ju's stay may be three years, three years is just that. If he has done well in politics and now has made military achievements, and the imperial court appoints him again and appoints him as the judge or general judge of Gyeongju, it may be six years!
Do you shut up your wife in the house? One pass is five or six years, and my wife can bear it, but can outsiders speak?
However, he is always a small citizen, so he can't think of any way to resolve it.
"No, let's leave Gyeongju."
"Gyeongju finally laid a foundation, and once he left, there was nothing." Song Ji said.
Sun Wei greeted him, what were those generals. Sun Wei didn't care, but Sun Wei also valued these hundreds of horses. Officers and soldiers of more than 40 battalions on Huanqing Road. There were more than a dozen battalions of cavalry, but each battalion lacked horses. Without horses, these cavalry could not wield their fighting power. Moreover, even the infantry army, each commander and scout, also need mounts.
Huachi County offered hundreds of horses, and it came at the right time.
He looked at Wang Dutou, who was in the lead, and asked, "What about Wang Zhixian and Yao Inspection?" ”
"Sun Gong. The subordinates don't know, but the subordinates heard a word from Yao Patrol. Together with Wang Zhixian, he may send troops again to defuse the invasion and plundering of the Tanguts. ”
"Still fighting?" Sun Wei was taken aback.
So he asked about the two wars. as well as losses. After asking, he immediately ordered the scouts to pay attention to the situation in Huai'an Town.
He also said: "It's really bold, and it's a snake." ”
After these two battles, they did a good job and won, although the Western Xia had losses, but they were not heavy, they could bear it, and they also had military merits, so they could hand over to the imperial court. But if the fight continues, Huachi County's troops are limited, and there were heavy losses in the two wars, and there are more Western Xia troops plundered in Huai'an Town, if it is defeated, this military merit will be nothing, and he has to mobilize troops to fill Huachi County.
Zhang Qi also felt weird.
Wang Ju can send troops to Huai'an Town to support, but he must get Sun Wei's permission and cooperate with the real garrison before he can fight.
Otherwise, there are few troops, and it is far away from Huachi County, the terrain will not be so familiar, this terrain is also very important, if Wang Ju is not familiar with the terrain, how to choose in Dongjian Bridge, without the terrain of Dongjian Bridge, how to win so beautifully. Large-scale battles pay attention to terrain, and this kind of small and medium-sized battles should pay more attention to the terrain. Even the two battles were almost completely annihilated, and because of this terrain, if the terrain was a little more open and the surrounding roads were smooth, then nearly half of the Western Xia cavalry would escape.
There is no reason to send troops again this time.
…………
The sun rises higher and higher, and you can see the whole face of Zali Village clearly.
There are about 300 households, which is a large village. Caves are rare, it is very troublesome to build caves, and the Qiang people retain some nomadic habits to some extent, so there are not many Qiang people who build caves in other areas.
Most of them are stone-walled houses covered with thatch.
However, judging from the clothing, the living conditions of the people in the village are relatively good, and the weather has not completely cooled down at this time, and there are many women wearing skirts made of satin. This wealth may not have been completely robbed, and private traders also provided a lot of wealth to the village. If it weren't for the heavy taxation of Western Xia, maybe the situation of this village would be better.
In front of the stockade is a small river, that is, the east stream of the frontier fort, the water flow is turbulent, and it flows until the Huachi water.
In front of the river is a large tidal flat, and the people of Zali Village have also planted some sorghum and beans, some of which have been harvested, and some have not yet been harvested.
There is also a mulberry hemp field on the hill in the distance, and there are also people in other areas of Hengshan who plant mulberry and hemp, but the technology is backward, the yield is low, and the scale is not large.
Wang Ju looked at the village again, and was a thief with a weak heart, and Zali Village also built a tall wall, although it was not as tall and strong as the various military forts on the front line, but there was also more than one person tall, no less than the wall in the later period of Wangjiazhai.
The people in the village drove out their cattle and sheep, and there were more than a hundred horses. But everyone's expression is a little sad, this is not far from the battlefield, it has been several days, they have heard the battle ahead, this battle, Zali Village also sent out dozens of people to fight for the tiger, but no one can escape back.
Several herdsmen were seen herding their cattle and sheep towards the ambush site. Wang Ju shouted: "Attack." ”
The soldiers of the third battalion rushed down from the mountains and forests like tigers.
"Enemy."
One by one, the herdsmen left their cattle and sheep behind and fled to the village. But some herdsmen didn't have time to escape, and were caught up by the Song army, and the women, children, old and young were not harmed, but Ding Zhuang did not leave any of them. All of them were hacked to death.
Repay virtue with virtue, and return tooth with tooth!
Yao ordered the soldiers to gather the cattle and sheep together, and there were more than 4,000 sheep alone, as well as more than 400 cattle, more than 100 horses, and more than 200 donkeys and mules. Fifty or so camels.
He said with a fluttering eyebrow, "Yes." ”
These livestock alone solved the pension and reward of all soldiers.
Moreover, the stockade has not yet been broken, and once the stockade is broken, I believe that a lot of wealth will be obtained.
However, Zali Village cannot be a regular practice, in fact, most of the villages in Western Xia are very poor. Some people can't even eat. Therefore, the Central Plains Dynasty suffered a lot from the war with the nomads, and the nomads came to invade, and they could get a large amount of supplies just by plundering, but when the Central Plains Dynasty counterattacked, they had to carry a large number of supplies, which put pressure on the people and the country's finances, not to mention, and these supplies were easily robbed by the nomads in the process of escorting.
Yao Ji said again: "I also want to thank Li Sangou." ”
Without Li Sangou, the Yeli would not have provided a lot of information. Then there is no such line either.
Wang Ju nodded and said, "Let's set up camp." ”
Several officers and soldiers began to cut down trees and build fences, and half a day later, two tall fences were built. Wang Ju said: "Send someone to shout in front of the village." ”
Yao Ji sent a soldier with a loud voice to shout, limited to two days, Zali Village must surrender, otherwise tomorrow at sunset, immediately attack the village and slaughter the village.
But as soon as he finished shouting, dozens of arrows flew out of the village. The soldier fled back.
As expected by Wang Ju and Yao Ji, Zalizhai did a lot of evil things. How could he surrender, and besides, he did this by himself. Regardless of the indiscriminate situation, he hacked dozens of Ding Zhuang to death as soon as he came up.
Therefore, Yao Ji ordered again: "Push out the stone cannon." ”
It is Wang Ju's kind of combined stone cannon, but it is built by temporary rush work, and it is a one-time product that cannot be used a few times. But it's bigger, you have to five or six people to operate, and the throw is a little slower, but it's more powerful.
Yao Ji gave an order, and the soldiers pushed out the three stone cannons, which was still a novelty, and Wang Ju personally taught everyone to assemble them.
After assembling it, Wang Ju let the soldiers carry out the extra-large fire thistle terrestris, and he didn't bring much, only a few dozen. I didn't put them all together, only a few.
With a few loud noises, the people of Zali Village cried one by one, and only a few pieces were thrown, and more than a dozen people were killed in the village. And it is far away, it is three hundred steps away, and the bows and arrows in the village do not pose a threat to the Song army at all.
There was no way to fight this battle, and an elder in the village said: "When it gets dark, send warriors to sneak out of the mountains and ask for help from the ballast fort?" ”
Everyone was silent, and there was only this way.
At the time of the third watch, the two young men selected by Zali Village arrived at the Xinjiang Ballast Fort, in fact, the Song army was very arrogant in this anti-plunder, and the Xinjiang Ballast Fort also got the news, and the Tong Guò banner also judged that it was the Song army from the direction of Liyuan Fort.
However, the ballast fort sent many soldiers to the Song Realm to plunder, but there were not many people who fled back, and the soldiers in the fort were sparse, and there was no way to send troops.
After listening to the reports of the two young people in Zali Village, he lay on the map and looked at it again.
Strictly speaking, no matter from Liyuan Fort or Dashun City, there is no road directly into Zali Village, there is a road, which is the road between the Xinjiang Ballast Fort and the White Leopard City.
But the Song army is an infantry, if you endure some hardships, climb mountains and mountains, you can also reach Zali Village, but you don't expect to bring much baggage grain, so the Song army only started to attack after dawn, when the village drove cattle and sheep out to graze, and relied on slaughtering cattle and sheep to obtain food sources.
This is also an opportunity, if the army attacks, this invading Song army will have no escape. And Song Jun took the initiative to counter-plunder, which also made him smell a trace of crisis, so he thought about it and made a request in the direction of White Leopard City.
At noon, the scouts came back to report that the White Leopard City had sent a thousand troops.
Leluo Hun Lu immediately occupied the soldiers in the fort, six or seven hundred people out, the two armies quickly converged, the strength was better than the Song army, and it was in their own territory, the time and place were favorable to themselves, Leluo Hun Lu rushed to the army Zali Village.
The battle began again.
Leluo Hun Lu led his soldiers and horses to attack from the periphery, and the Zali Zhaibo people hated each other and attacked the Song army from the inside.
However, the Song army built a fence in advance, kept firing arrows in it, and stabbed the approaching enemy with a gun through the fence.
Until dusk, there were casualties among each other, and the Song army was still not taken.
At this moment, a scout came to report that another army from the rear was rushing over, and it was all cavalry.
Leluo Hun Lu came to the top of the hill and looked into the distance, it was a cavalry, about seven or eight hundred people, wearing all the armor of Western Xia, and they came from the rear, not to mention his own army. However, the army in the direction of Lerohun and White Panther City wondered, where did this army come from?
The army was moving faster and faster, and Lerohun thought for a moment and said, "Meet each other quickly." ”
No matter which part of the army, now there are still fewer soldiers and horses, and the fierce battle has never been able to take down the Song army, if there is another one, then the strength will be stronger.
That army is getting closer and closer, and it seems that all of them are Qiang people, their own people, not more than party members. It's just that it's dusk, the vision is getting darker, and the horses are dusty, and their faces can't be clearly recognized.
Just when Lerohun was a little surprised and a little puzzled, the pedestrian had rushed in front of them.
But the horse did not stop.
When Leluo Hun was about to scold, suddenly he broke out in a cold sweat and said loudly: "No, it's the fall of the Song Dynasty." ”
However, it was too late, and the hundreds of people had already rushed over, and the big knives in their hands were also raised. (To be continued)
