Chapter 255: Division
"Hu Qian, you can't despise the Iron Harrier," Li Sangou said on his horse. [][]. [23] [x]. []
The more than 1,000 Iron Harriers suffered so badly in this battle that they were drowned or captured alive before they could do anything.
But let them be draped, it was very powerful, and even Li Sangou suspected that just those more than a thousand iron harriers could easily kill his battalions of cavalry. Of course, Wang Ju and himself would not be stupid to fight them on the frontal battlefield.
These iron harriers are not only heavily armored, including war horses, but also the selected soldiers are warriors, some soldiers hold weapons that are not Xia swords, but heavy hammers, and later in history, Yuan Meng improved the Xixia hammer and turned it into a hexagonal Xixia Pal hammer, becoming the most lethal killer on the battlefield. A single hammer can often smash an enemy's head to the ground, and even a hard skull can be smashed alive.
However, regardless of Western Xia and Yuanmeng, there are still very few warriors who officially use hammers, and they are too heavy for ordinary people to play.
But Wang Ju was a little speechless about Li Sangou's superstitious iron harrier.
The heavy cavalry is not nothing, the Liao Tielin Army is the heavy cavalry, but it is not used well, the Song Dynasty has also organized the Jingsai Army before, which is a sharper heavy cavalry, far better than the Tielin Army and the Iron Harrier of Western Xia, and killed Yelu Xiuge miserably.
But for various reasons, it disappeared.
In fact, if Wang Ju and Cai Ting don't explain clearly, they will immediately organize more than 10,000 cavalry on Huanqing Road, and they will also be in trouble.
If you want a sharp cavalry, you must first have a good horse, not only take good care of the war horse, but also not be sloppy in the feed of the horse, and even not be able to pull the cart, but also let it run in peacetime.
So raise a ride. Equivalent to raising three to four infantrymen.
Ruoda Huanqing Road. Raising about 10,000 cavalrymen is not much. In the five states, there are not too many idle pastures, and the key is this cost, and it will be trouble in the future.
And the Song Dynasty was a policy of eliminating defense, what did the cavalry do, field battles, and the role of defending forts was not strong, so the cost increased. There will be some short-sightedness, or appeasement of the impeachment of ministers.
But Wang Ju is not superstitious about heavy horses, including the Iron Floating Massacre of the Jin Kingdom. In history, Jin Wushu slaughtered the Southern Song Dynasty with an army of 100,000, 15,000 kidnappers and horses, and 5,000 Tiefu. The abducted horse is the medium and light cavalry, and the Tiefutu is the heavy cavalry, and as a result, the battle of Shunchang allowed Liu Qi to kill 50,000 troops, 10,000 abducted horses, and 3,000 Tiefutu. Jin Wushu hurriedly retreated, and Yue Fei came to clean up again. He also killed 5,000 kidnappers and horses, 30,000 troops and 2,000 Tiefutu, and as a result, the 5,000 Tiefutu of the Jin Kingdom were all wiped out. Why? It's too cumbersome, just like the infantry armor of the Song Dynasty now, there is no degree, as long as the tactics are appropriate, there is only one dead end.
Even on the frontal battlefield, the Iron Harrier can't compete with the Yuanmeng light cavalry.
If you want the Song army to train a Yuanmeng light cavalry, it is impossible, but if the new armor envisioned by Wang Ju can succeed, the cavalry wears a dozen catties of horse armor, and then puts on a dozen catties of armor on the war horse to protect the key parts, that is, pseudo-heavy cavalry, the actual medium and light cavalry, then the iron harrier is also looking for death.
But what to do, you have to give Li Sangou a little face.
However, Hu Qian listened to Li Sangou's flickering, but believed it.
It took most of the day for Hu Qian to come to his senses and said, "Commander Zhao, although this is the case, it is not as important as commanding." β
Li Sangou was silent.
If you fight like this, the iron harrier is good, and if you hit Linglang, what's the difference? Either the difference is that the Iron Harrier soldiers are very strong, maybe let Wang Ju sell them for a few more money in the future......
The four battalions of cavalry pounced on Zewei Village.
If you divide the strength of several enemy teams that come to attack, it may be the Iron Harrier that is the most powerful, and relatively speaking, the army that Ye Yanma brought to Qingxichuan is also the most powerful. The second is the 5,000 troops left behind in Liyuan Fort.
Again, it is the force of Zewei Zhai.
They were drawn from Jintang City, strictly speaking, they were logistics troops, and in order to reach Pingrong Town from the rugged mountain road, they could only send 3,000 infantry over, which further weakened the combat effectiveness. Fatally, they got in touch with Ye Bima the day before yesterday, thinking that Huachi County had become the world of their Western Xia people, and they were all careless.
But because their strength was relatively weak, Wang Ju sent Ye to command the past, increasing the strength of the defense of each village, and not a single village was captured, fortunately, they were self-aware and did not covet Pingrong Town. But on the other hand, Pingrong Town doesn't have many troops.
In front of Zewei Village is a river valley, which is also the situation of ninety percent of Huachi villages, only a very small number of people live in the real mountainous areas, and the rest live in the river valley and the mound. This Western Xia army rested for a night and was about to leave, and also sent scouts to Huachi Town to investigate, but the scouts had not returned, and there was nothing left. The four battalions of cavalry pounced, and none of them noticed.
Li Sangou led four battalions of cavalry to kill him.
Commander Ye also received Wang Ju's order and led his subordinates to kill from Zewei Village.
Three thousand soldiers and horses are actually used properly, and the number of troops is considerable, but how can they make proper use of this situation and how can they organize a counterattack?
In an instant, the three thousand Tanguts were defeated.
Li Sangou returned to Liyuan Fort with the four battalions of cavalry, and handed over the rest to Commander Ye, as well as various villagers, strong men and strong horses in Pingrong Town.
And when Ye Commander left, he obeyed Wang Ju's arrangement, brought a lot of thistles, and collected a large number of traps or other equipment from various villages, and secretly scattered them on the mountain roads behind Pingrong Town to Jintang City in advance.
As a result, these Tangut people were constantly attacked under the pursuit of the Song army.
The battle began in the morning, then pursued, and continued until dusk, until it was chased to the border of the Western Xia Kingdom, and then stopped.
Three thousand Tangut people rushed in, and once again only more than 1,000 people escaped, and the rest were either killed or captured.
But this battle is not critical, the next battle of critical health, this is a real conference battle......
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The news was still spreading, Cai Ting did not write a report, he was repeatedly persuaded by Wang Ju, and finally decided to fight. Once the battle starts, this victory or defeat is nothing. So I simply didn't write it, and wrote it together after the war. Or a merit excerpt, or a guilty excerpt.
For him to write now, it is better to think about what to do.
Don't underestimate Cai Ting. He did not go to the front in this battle. But behind the scenes, there is also a great deal of credit. However, there are really few civil officials on the front line with a big sword and a bow on their backs, and Zhang Qixian can be regarded as such, but Zhang Qixian is also a bold man, and he cannot be regarded as a civil official of the Song Dynasty in the traditional sense.
Concubine Li of Huachi Town has returned to the city, and unlike the harsh environment in which the three brothers and sisters of Wang Ju live, she is the only daughter of the Li family, who grew up in a greenhouse since she was a child. Although her fiancΓ©'s victory made her happy, it was the first time she had seen so many dead people.
This caused her to have nightmares for several nights on end.
Fortunately, she reacted and immediately called Wang Xiaomazi and asked him to ride to Yanzhou to report the news. Two hundred miles away, for ordinary peasants in this era, it is undoubtedly two worlds, but for the Li family, this distance will not cause any problems.
I believe that my family is also worried, so let's report safety first. But Concubine Li didn't know. The upcoming battle is called really dangerous and intense.
Wang Xiaomazi rode a horse, and now the road has been built. It did not play the role of Wang Juxiang, but the traffic became convenient, it was not a road, it was much easier to walk than before, Wang Xiaomazi rode a horse and galloped, and after two hours, he ran to Yanzhou City.
I entered Li's house and reported the good news.
Li Yuanwai asked in surprise: "How many officers and soldiers are there in Huachi County?" β
"More than 5,000?"
"How many enemy soldiers are coming?"
"Twenty-three thousand."
"How did you defeat it?"
Wang Xiaomazi said it simply, and he didn't know the specifics. Now his role in the Wang family is still not very big, far less than the second eldest son and 6 Ping, this is helpless, he is young.
"Attack with water?" Li Yuanwai suddenly realized that there are not too many examples of fire and water attacks in ancient and modern times. I don't understand if I dare to love Li Yuanwai, is it easy to attack this water? Not counting all kinds of arrangements, Wang Ju still has to make psychological guesses about Ye Bima, Li Liangzuo and Song Ji. However, it doesn't matter if Li Yuanwai understands it or not, he doesn't want to go to the battlefield to fight.
"How many killings this baby has made, officials, concubines are going to incense," Qin said. In fact, it is also happy, what kills the evil and does not kill the evil, the more you kill, the better, so that the official can be promoted quickly.
Li Yuanwai was also very proud, and said: "Treat, please Zhu Yuanwai, Zhao Yuanwai, they come over as guests." β
That is, a few businessmen he has befriended, and several major deed shares of the bamboo paper workshop, are almost in a group now, but the core figure is still Wang Ju, not only Wang Ju's technology and head, but also Wang Ju's meritorious official position.
After a while, several businessmen arrived, and after hearing about it, they sang praises one after another, of course, they were also happy, Wang Ju made great contributions, and he was promoted quickly, and they would also be stained with light.
Zhu Huan said jokingly: "Li Yuanwai, you also said that he was born in a bad weather. β
"Zhu Yuanwai, the old man was wrong at the beginning, it's not bad, think about it, the snow closes the door, everything is killed, this is murderous, who is killed, it is the enemy of our Great Song Dynasty."
"Old horseman," Zhu Huan scolded with a smile, this old guy is too shameless, but who said that he doesn't have a suitable daughter, otherwise he is more glorious now.
The Li family's mansion was even more happy, not only the relationship between the grandson, but also the hatefulness of the Western Xia people.
The Song Dynasty gave so much silver, so it was okay, just like the Liao State? But no, the silver was collected, and they continued to burn and loot across the border, some people couldn't figure it out, how could such a big country as the Song Dynasty be made like this by this big Western Xia? It is the use of people, and the country is flattened.
Is this a good analogy? Zhao Ji really sent hundreds of thousands of troops to pile up, but what was the final result?
The neighbors also knew about it after a while, and they all thought that Wang Ju was a god. Of course, 6 Shu also knows.
Why did he promise Cai Ting that he would send reinforcements when the time came, and Wang Ju would move reinforcements again, but he would not have any soldiers? There are not enough troops on Huanqing Road, how many troops are there on Yanyan Road? There are dozens of battalions, is it enough to see in front of the 100,000 Western Xia army?
Therefore, like Wang Juyuan's idea, this force must be kept, just in case.
This kind of worrying law, can you send scouts to pay attention?
In fact, don't send scouts, Huachi water was blocked by a large number of corpses, but the corpses in front of them flowed quickly, and some of them had already floated to Zhiluo County, and the officials of Zhiluo County had to send people to salvage them.
"How did this kid fight?" 6. I can't figure it out. He will not be like Li Yuanwai, who used water, and drowned tens of thousands of soldiers and horses as soon as the water drowned. That's as simple as that.
The same seed was soon heard.
He was so angry in his heart that he said after a long time: "The second child has made a great contribution this time." β
His second child is the clinician, and he is the fifth in the family.
However, he asked to go to Huachi County not for the second child, although he went to battle with his own brothers and fought with father and son, but they were all heavy generals, and he didn't say that. One is Huachi County, the other is Dashun City, and there are two battlefields.
The main thing is to make meritorious contributions.
To be a civilian official does not necessarily need military exploits, but to be a military general, is it okay to have no combat functions in your hands?
In fact, the pit of 6 Xu, it really pitted a lot of feats, not only the battle of Huachi County, but also the upcoming battle. It's even more than he imagined, once this killing god arrives in Huachi, Wang Ju will use it in a different way, how much credit will that kind of thing be done? In short, after this incident was born, Chong Ge began to have a faint dissatisfaction with 6 Xu.
ps: I was stuck to death yesterday, but I only got a few hundred words, so I simply watched two episodes of Fan Ye's Wu Meiniang. complained a few sentences, Fan Ye is so gentle and well-behaved, infatuated and kind, Zhang Ting is so domineering, but I am confused, who is playing the queen of martial arts? Spit out again, why is Zhang Ting not old, Fan Ye has so big breasts, and his eyes are straight. (To be continued!)
