Chapter 519: Heaven (I)

The Song army is advancing rapidly, not fast. The Song army was advancing towards Yele Town, and most of the Western Xia deserters were also fleeing along the main road to Yele Town.

If they are allowed to go to Yele Town first, the Xia army in Yele Town will be prepared.

In fact, in these local wars, in order to make the difference in strength not large, Wang Ju almost racked his brains, but the effect was also obvious, because the strength of the troops was about the same, and even sometimes it occupied an absolute advantage, and it was an unexpected attack by the Xia army, or a night attack, so it could make the enemy quickly rout. Another benefit is that it can cause a lot of damage.

The latter is often overlooked by many, and there is an example, the Battle of Song Liao Mancheng and the Battle of Yanmen Pass. In the battle of Mancheng, the difference between the two sides was not large, and the Liao army forced the Song army into the West Mountain, losing its cavalry advantage, and ended in a crushing defeat.

In the battle of Yanmen, Pan Mei first blocked the 100,000 Liao army with an infantry phalanx, Yang Ye led a small number of cavalry to kill from the rear, and killed Xiao Lu Li in the horse service, and captured the horse infantry army to command Li Chongxue, which was Yang Ye's famous battle. What future generations ignore is Pan Mei's work, Pan Mei has infantry in his hands, and the number of troops is small, but he used an infantry phalanx, with fewer enemies, and blocked the attack of 100,000 Liao troops in the field, which gave Yang Ye the opportunity to make a name for himself. But the actual killing and wounding of the Liao army in this battle is not as much as the battle of Mancheng, why, one is the large gap in strength, the other is more infantry, the speed is slow, often defeat is the annihilation of the whole army, or even the real annihilation of the whole army, no one is left, but the victory can not be a big victory.

But in these local wars, the Western Xia suffered heavy losses, one is the terrain, several battles because of the terrain constrained the enemy's cavalry advantage, but also restricted the enemy's convenience of escaping, and the number of enemy cavalry in these great victories was not much. The second is the quantity, the number of which is not very large, and it is an unexpected night attack, so it quickly forms a large-scale kill. Those who couldn't escape had to surrender.

However, the terrain is also important, just like the battle of Dashun City at dawn yesterday, the western camp was almost completely wiped out, but many summer troops escaped in the eastern camp. Or in the battle of Mengmen Sancha, when it came to that part, many Xia troops fled.

It's a helpless thing.

Therefore, the Song army saw many fleeing Xia soldiers on the road, and these Xia soldiers also saw them, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly fled to the mountains on the side of the road. dared to think that Song Jun chased after them to arrest them.

Can this escape? As soon as they fled into the mountains, the terrain was unfamiliar, and the Song army was stuck in front of them immediately, if the battle in Yele Town was over, they would not be able to find the right way, so they still had to wait for the Song army to capture it.

Later, Wang Ju with a small number of cavalry had not yet arrived, and as a result, the Western Xia deserters on the road fled completely.

Seeing that they were about to approach Yele Town, and there were no more deserters from the enemy, Wang Ju and Wang Junwan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The good thing under Gyeongju Castle is that Sensei is counting on, but the enemy is prepared and unprepared. Is it not possible to fight if you are prepared? How much does that affect morale? But in that kind of battle, the casualties will be very heavy.

Wang Ju asked the three armies to stop.

He came to the front with Wang Junwan, Qu Zhen and Zhao Long, and looked at the other side with binoculars.

The 15,000 Xia troops on the other side will also surround Yele Town, this does not matter, the troops on the side of Yele Town are still small, Renduo Lingding has arranged 20,000 troops in Donggu and Wujiao Town, and there are more than 10,000 troops under Xigu Town, but 5,000 troops went to Mengmen Sancha, and at the same time, there seem to be nearly 30,000 troops under the city of Huai'an Town.

Anyway, there are enough troops in Western Xia!

Wang Ju looked at the big camp, this time don't expect to have a fluke, the Western Xia army here set up a heavy camp, including the fence wall, although the horse was not refused, but in front of the fence wall dug a trench, not too deep, but can play a role in delaying the Song army's attack on the village.

And there was a gap between the tent and the fence, and there were bands of soldiers patrolling incessantly. There is also a standard distance between the tents, so that it can prevent fire and enemy fire. In addition, several towers were built in the camp to look into the distance.

"The enemy here is not easy to deal with." Wang Junwan said.

"Jun Wan, can you still expect to be like the city of Gyeongju?" Wang Ju smiled.

In fact, not only here in Yele Town, but also in other places, even Gyeongju, originally did not expect to defeat Xia Jun so easily. In fact, as long as it drags on for one day, Song Ji will also set up the camp gate tomorrow.

No matter what the camp fence is, this battle will also be fought, and the right thing is to conduct an exercise for the future general battle.

Wang Ju turned his head to look at Zhao Long and Qu Zhen, handed them the binoculars and said, "Take a look." ”

The two looked at each other.

Wang Ju said again: "Zhao Long, you pick a few people, make a detour from this side, and with the help of the cover of a forest in Pozui, go around to the rear of the enemy, and there is a small village in front of the second gate, and there are more than 20 houses in the village, and then with the help of these houses, touch the gate, and kill the sentry guarding the gate." Qu Zhen, you led forward, and then sneaked forward, and when Zhao Long captured the gate, you immediately led the way forward and controlled the gate. ”

"Whoa." The two replied, and went down.

This is intended to make the two of them meritorious, but Wang Junwan can't afford to compete with these two little guys.

"Jun Wan, you immediately assemble the three armies, listen to my orders, when Qu Zhen advances into the gate, where do you immediately rush into the enemy camp."

"Okay."

Wang Ju continued to monitor Qu Zhao and his party.

The two of them quietly continued to run forward from the right bank with several battalions of Baojie army, and then came to the slope where Wang Ju said, and asked the forward army to stop, Qu Zhen said a few words to everyone, his voice was low, and he was also some distance away from Wang Ju, Wang Ju didn't know what he was talking about, he was about to advise and encourage.

Then Wang Ju saw in the telescope that Zhao Long waded across the glacier with more than 20 soldiers, and quickly dived into the shadows of the deserted village.

Wang Ju couldn't see it, and he turned his telescope to the enemy camp.

Dozens of sentries with straight swords were on guard in front of the gate of the enemy camp, but the weather was cold, and a bonfire had to be lit in front of them. This is on the positive side, after all, they are in the light, while Qu Zhao and the others are hidden in the dark.

But at this moment a group of patrolling summer soldiers came, and they were about to know one of the sentries, and they stopped and talked to each other.

Wang Ju frowned.

Zhao Long crouched behind a thatched hut at this time, but most of these houses were almost demolished, the wood was removed, the thatch was removed, and only mud walls remained. And the mud wall was demolished with too much force, so that there were several cracks.

He was crouching over a crack and looking at the gate, frowning as the patrolling soldiers stopped talking.

So there was a delay of nearly half an hour, that is, more than ten minutes.

This time is a bit long, which makes Wang Ju worry that Zhao Long and Qu Zhen will be impulsive.

The wait may be anxious, but there is still time.

But fortunately, Zhao Long held back, Wang Ju watched with a telescope again, and Qu Zhen and the Baojie army in the front camp also sneaked to the village, and then lay on the ground one by one. In fact, it is really cold, especially at this dawn moment, lying on the ground, the cold air is overwhelming, and the waiting at this moment is undoubtedly a torment.

However, fortunately, the battle of Gyeongju just now was relatively smooth, giving everyone confidence and courage, you must know that in the past, in addition to the non-stop training of these Baojie troops, at least ninety percent of the soldiers had not been stained with the blood of the enemy in their hands, so there was a situation where half of the soldiers were vomiting while fighting.

The guards were finally gone, and they had to wait.

After a while, the group of soldiers walked past the corner of the camp, and Wang Ju saw Zhao Long pounce out.

Of course, this time you can't expect anything better, in fact, in the next battle, Wang Ju also plans to use night attack tactics, but not night attacks, but called "night terrors".

The group of sentinels immediately saw Zhao Long and his party, one of them immediately sounded the horn, and the others raised their bows and arrows.

Zhao Long continued to rush towards the gate with his subordinates.

The arrows in the hands of the sentries had already flown out, and Wang Ju saw several Song soldiers being shot down in the binoculars, but Zhao Long used his knife to knock off the two arrows flying towards him, and with a loud roar, he had already rushed in front of them.

At the same time, Qu Zhen also led his subordinates to kill, because of the delay just now, the two were very close.

The group of sentinels was also resisting, but Zhao Long was really fierce, and the knife danced into a series of knife lights in his hand, killing seven or eight enemies in a row, and forcibly killing in front of the gate, while waving the knife to protect himself, while opening the bolt of the gate with his hand.

"This kid is really good," Wang Junwan was also watching, praised in his heart, and then said: "Chong." ”

In fact, the Western Xia camp was along the Yanqing River and surrounded Yele Town on three sides, but in order to maximize the damage to the enemy, the direction of the main attack was the North Camp, that is, the Western Xia Rear Camp. Therefore, Wang Junwan had to lead the three armies to slide some distance before he could reach the enemy's rear. But fortunately, the speed of the glide is fast, and this distance will not be delayed for long.

Wang Ju didn't move, it was impossible for him to really charge into battle every time, what did it become? You may be able to charge it later, but it's mainly about boosting morale, not how many enemies you kill. He continued to watch.

The gate was finally opened by Zhao Long, and Qu Zhen rushed over with him. But the group of soldiers patrolling just now also turned their heads, warning with horns, while fighting with Qu Zhen's men. At the same time, the Xia army on the tower was also blowing the horn.

With the sound of this mournful horn, the entire summer army camp began to commotion.

But this situation was expected by Wang Ju a long time ago, and he was concerned about the gate.

The patrolling soldiers were quickly defeated under the counterattack of the two tiger generals, but another Xia man dressed as a general came over with a group of soldiers.

The two groups were fighting fiercely, and there were more and more Xia people, but Zhao Long and Qu Zhen held the gate to the death.

At this moment, many Song soldiers fell. However, the time was not long, Wang Junwan led the three armies to lower the sliding board and rushed ashore.

"Let's go." Wang Ju put down his binoculars, rode forward, and led his men across the ice to a dirt hill behind the enemy's camp, but he did not enter the enemy camp, but stood on this dirt hill and commanded the three armies with drums and bugles.

Therefore, after going to the top of the slope, he continued to look with a telescope, Wang Junwan had already entered the enemy camp, but the Xia army also began to assemble.

However, the Song army still has an advantage, one is morale, the other is organized, although the enemy is gathering, but in this dark night, there is some panic, and the third is that the Song army is more sober-minded.

Also, Wang Ju looked at Yele Town with a telescope, and couldn't help frowning again, because Yele Town was still very quiet.

When the Xia army stormed Fort America, the Song army carried out a series of transfers and changes of defense, and Wang Ju replaced Gu Yongping with Li Kezhong, who seemed to be more capable of fighting. After all, Yele Town is closer to the main battlefield, and with the general battle approaching, every force near the main battlefield must be required to play a role in the end, including Yele Town.

But at this time, Li Kezhong did miscalculate, when Zhao Long was fighting, the Song army at the head of the city had not yet paid attention, and with Qu Zhen leading the forward army into the enemy camp, the Song army at the head of the city had already hurriedly reported to Li Kezhong. After Li Kezhong heard this, he hurriedly got up and came to the city, because this attack on Yele Town was not planned, so he was still observing and judging. So Wang Ju saw that Yele Town was still quiet.

When making plans at that time, Wang Junwan and Liu Changzuo meant to be a little bolder, for example, tonight, if Zhou Yongqing succeeded, then they would chase all the way to Xigu Qi, and then let Xigu Qi Song Army kill out. Here, Wang Ju attacked Yele Town all the way, and then took advantage of the momentum of victory to roll towards Wujiao Town, and joined forces with Chongyi and Chongguli to defeat the Xia army in Wujiao Town. Although the Western Xia had a large number of troops, because they were divided into several regions, they did not have much advantage in the forces in each area. He could even cooperate with Yanda, and finally simply attack the main army of Renduo Lingding, and defeat the left wing of the Xia army at once.

But Wang Ju didn't agree in the end, which would still cause many risks, and the last thing Wang Ju wanted was to fight with risks. In particular, the coordination of various armies may not be so perfect. At present, Li Kezhong's expression seems to be the best example.

Li Kezhong hesitated, but gave Western Xia more time to assemble, and Wang Ju had to look at the battlefield with a telescope, and then command with a horn.

At this time, Li Kezhong came to his senses and said: "Immediately order the assembly of the three armies." ”

However, this gathering of the three armies will take a while.

The city is assembling, and the battle continues outside the city.

Wang Ju glanced at Yele Town speechlessly, and continued to stare at the battlefield, it should be said that the Song army still has the advantage. And it is impossible to ignore the role of Wang Ju, although everyone overestimated his military ability, he himself underestimated his own military ability. In fact, the most accurate positioning is that now Wang Ju can reach the level of an iron-level commander even if he puts aside the golden finger, and may even be a little stronger than Guo Kui, and not much inferior to Ren Duo Lingding.

Moreover, he has a telescope in his hand and can see the battlefield more clearly, so under his command, the advantage of the Song army is gradually expanding, at least it has been pressing the Xia army, and it has not allowed them to form a complete formation.

The morning breeze blows, and the cool air is pressing, but there is a slight hint of freshness in this chill, in fact, spring is not far from this border.

The morning star in the sky also brightened, shining through the thick ink color, casting a jewel-like figure over the world.

The fierce battle continued, and the Song army gradually tore apart the entire northern camp of Western Xia. At this time, Song Jun of Yele Town opened the city gate belatedly, and when he didn't come out, Li Kezhong went home with his luggage to retire. R1152
