The Western Xia army, the main purpose of the advance army, is to open the way, and remove some "obstacles", which also shows the mentality of the soldiers of the Song and Xia countries, since the battle of King Cai Ting's huge Shuncheng, the combat effectiveness of the two armies is gradually shifting.

But this army was not very far from the Chinese army, and the wind and waves were calm along the way, so they came to the city of Dashun. Therefore, the more than 10,000 advancing troops did not expect that the Song army would attack out of the city.

Dashun City seems to have a lot of troops, but its own troops are not bad, and the mighty Chinese army is coming, does the Song army dare to go out of the city to fight?

So the commander of the former army is looking at those strange walls.

Didn't show up yesterday and became a wall overnight?

The wall is not high, only more than one zhang, and the thickness is the same thing, but it is only two feet.

Because of the speed, the thickness is determined, and the thickness and height determine the height. But this principle, Layan has not thought of it for the time being.

However, the area of these walls is too large, and the front of Dashun City is completely covered.

More than sixty doors were revealed in front of the wall.

"It's going to be a nuisance, and I don't know if I'm going to be able to knock them over if I hit the woods." Layan thought to himself.

So he stared at the huge wall carefully, and the wall was still brown dirt, not the kind of clay that was very well cohesive, but in addition to the dirt, there were also a large number of ice crystals that shimmered with a crystal clear luster.

"It's a fantastic idea. = "Raha finally saw the mystery of the wall that was built overnight."

That is, use ordinary soil and water, and then put it in the plate, and now the temperature is still very low, as long as it freezes overnight, the plate is removed the next day. A sturdy and smooth wall appeared.

Of course. It is uncommon. In a month at most, the river melted, and the smooth wall collapsed on its own without hitting the wood.

But will the Western Xia army be able to drag on for a month?

In fact, this method was not initiated by Wang Ju.

In the winter of the second year of Xianping, the Khitan invaded the south, and Yang Liulang was in Suicheng at that time, and the Khitan attacked it very urgently. Many city walls were crumbling, so Yang Liulang gathered all the Ding Zhuang in the city, fetched well water, and used well water

Poured on the city walls. Because the weather was cold at that time, the water had not yet slid down the city wall, and it became frozen, and the Liao people could not climb, so they were besieged for several days and forced to retreat. Yang Liulang also made this contribution and moved to Baozhou Zhizhou. And when Xiao Yanyan went south, she made miraculous achievements.

The nature of the two is the same. Only because the form is different, so the method is slightly different, this kind of wall must have a few hours of freezing time, and the plate needs to be shaped and fixed at the beginning.

As for the kind of mud, does it matter?

Even if there is a plate with good sealing, no mud is used, and all water is used.

This wall is a big problem that the Xixia people are about to face, and he has no choice but to continue to look at the twisting passages inside, the walls are important, and these passages are even more important, which seems to make him smell the faint murderous opportunity.

Seeing this, he said, "Prepare the tower." ”

You have to climb the wooden tower to see it in its entirety.

At this moment, the gate of Dashun City opened, and groups of Song Dynasty officers and soldiers poured out from inside. First the infantry, then the cavalry.

Ratham shouted, "Assemble immediately and prepare for defense." ”

Dou Shunqing also stood on the top of the city and watched, frowning slightly.

He obeyed Wang Jujian and made a large labyrinth with ice walls under the city of Dashun. This can well protect the safety of Dashun City.

In fact, Wang Ju still has his intentions, first of all, Dashun City absolutely and absolutely cannot be lost, once lost, the main army of Western Xia and the supply will be able to grow straight in. In addition, it consumes a portion of enemies well. Although Wang Ju said in the capital that it would be a great achievement to be able to defend the forts, Wang Ju didn't want to just keep the forts in his heart.

However, at the beginning, a general battle could not break out, because the enemy had a large number of troops, great strength, and high morale, and if the general battle was to be fought at this time, he might lose without even pants to wear.

Therefore, the main task at the beginning was the deployment of troops, which consumed the enemy's food, grass and morale.

It is mainly dragged and supplemented by fighting.

Then the main battlefield of the first step of this drag, and the main battlefield that is also an important one, is in Dashun City.

So there are some special arrangements.

However, it is precisely because of this maze that although Song Jun has a special person to lead it, it will not lose its way in it, but it slows down the speed.

Dou Shunqing made a judgment on the head of the city, one is to consume, wait for the enemy to relax, and then pounce out, and the other is to continue to rush. However, the enemy gradually took shape, and the Song army was still drilling in the labyrinth.

He thought about it, called out to some of his commanders, and after whispering orders, he said, "Beat the drum and blow the trumpet." ”

Lin Guang pounced with his men.

He also felt that something was wrong, because the enemy had already been roughly assembled. However, when he heard the sound of drums and trumpets on the city, he still shouted: "Rush." ”

Thousands of Song troops rushed through Shuihao, and the fat suddenly shouted: "Shield, shield!" ”

He saw the bow of the divine arm, but the Song army also pounced.

After two hundred steps, as Lin Guang waved the flag with a wave, the Song army stopped sprinting, but it didn't stop, it just changed from sprinting to small steps forward.

There were only a few shields, which had not yet been placed in front, and in front were two battalions of divine arm archers, who began to step on their bows and release arrows.

Dou Shunqing made a gesture, and he also saw that under the fire of the archers of the two battalions, the Tanguts had suffered casualties. However, under the command of the commander-in-chief, some shield-bearers began to line up.

There are three reasons for this, one is that there is some time in the maze. The second is that the main general of Western Xia can be regarded as a good commander. The third is morale.

On the whole, the morale of Western Xia is not weak, after all, there are too many people. This is also exactly what Wang Ju said.

With more than 10,000 Baojie joining the front-line battalions, there are already more soldiers who know that Wang Ju may also come to Gyeongju, but for the sake of secrecy, even these ordinary soldiers of the Baojie Army do not know what official position Wang Ju will hold, and even everyone has seen Wang Ju return to Ningzhou, thinking that Wang Ju may serve as the governor of Ningzhou or the general judge. As for Li Fugui, how many soldiers believe that Li Fugui can win all battles?

Plus there are too many enemies, and the morale is not too strong.

Therefore, when these archers are nervous when shooting, they will not be able to aim accurately, or they will not be satisfied with the bow kick and let it go.

If you can aim at each of them, it will have great lethality. Several waves shot down. Enemy morale will immediately become depressed. Behind them, ordinary crossbowmen and other troops rushed forward, and charged with cavalry. The enemy will panic, and he will let the rest of the army in the city rush out, and a great victory will be achieved.

But now it seems unlikely.

However, I had to make remedial measures.

At this time, he thought of Yan Da again, how Yan Da could fight in and out of the 30,000 Western Xia army with only 500 cavalry. As if in a no-man's land?

So he thought of Wang Ju's brigade general ranking again.

This ranking is not only a matter of priority, but also the number of troops, which represents Wang Ju's recognition of the ability of the generals. It may even have an impact when the credit is divided after the war.

Therefore, some people are slightly dissatisfied with this ranking, why are Liu Changzuo and Wang Junwan in front, and even the yellow-haired boy in Chongyi is also in front.

Could it be that Wang Juzhen made a mistake?

Lin Guang was a little anxious, he commanded with the flag again, and the three armies pressed forward.

After all, the Divine Arm Bow was not fully equipped, and most of the soldiers still relied on the previous bows and crossbows, but a large number of bows and crossbows brought by Wang Ju. The quality is more qualified than the previous one, and there are few inferior products. But they have a limited range.

Since the two battalions of divine arm archers cannot kill the enemy. Then I had to let the ordinary crossbowmen go on top.

But that would also mean a stalemate, with a lot of casualties among your own men.

However, this was not fatal, and after some initial panic, the Tanguts gradually pushed the shield-bearers to the front, and the cavalry in the rear was also gathered.

I'm not afraid of this, but I'm afraid that tens of thousands of enemy troops are coming.

It seems that the Tangut people are just an intention, just pressing with shields, and they don't want to pay some sacrifices to rush over, and the short blades are handed over, and the winner is immediately decided.

Lin Guang also thought of Yanda's collapse.

In fact, that rush was far less valuable than Yan Da who later led thousands of his men to withdraw from Luowu City to Suide Military City. It was trapped in the vast tens of thousands of enemy troops, and the retreat lasted nearly 100 miles, so think about how the Mikawaguchi and the good water river failed. In this way, Yanda also brought less than half of his men back to Suide Military City safely. It's not too difficult.

However, Lin Guang gave up after thinking about it, so he didn't have this certainty.

Lin Guang had a headache, and Layan had an even more headache now, because thousands of Song troops rushed out of Dashun City, and he saw nearly a thousand people holding that kind of sharp new bow and crossbow.

The Song Dynasty was under-equipped, and the Western Xia people were even less equipped, including shields.

It seems that the main generals of the Song Dynasty in the city also noticed this shortcoming in their own army, and nearly a thousand Song troops with divine arms and bows were divided into two roads: one left and one right.

Layan hesitated in his heart, and seeing that those Song Dynasty soldiers in the city had gotten into those ice walls again, he finally said ruthlessly: "Retreat." ”

Although the Chinese army will come soon, the Song army in Dashun City also has a lot of troops, if they are defeated, and the Chinese army is dispersed, maybe the Song army will be able to complete a successful counterattack. Western Xia came to attack Gyeongju with the strength of the whole country this time, can it allow failure?

So Du Dora made a sound decision.

"Why did you retreat?" Lin Guang was a little dazed, and then he heard the order issued by the city head with a horn, pursued slightly, and immediately cleaned up the battlefield and withdrew.

Then follow orders.

So the first battle of Dashun City ended hastily, although the Western Xia people had casualties, but not many, less than two hundred. The loss was not large, only a small amount of grain and grass were lost. The Song Dynasty suffered even fewer casualties, only a few dozen.

Dou Shunqing, Gao Min, and Lin Guang all had a trace of caution in their eyes, the casualties in this battle were not large, but many problems could be seen in this battle, if you underestimate the Western Xia people, maybe there will be big trouble in this huge battle.

But on the other side, they were all more cautious than Dou Lin.

He retreated, although there was no big defeat, but Liang Yi was not happy. Du Duo Layan also knew that Liang Yibury would definitely be unhappy, but he said what had happened loyally and dutifully, and said: "It seems that the strong crossbow of the Song Dynasty has begun to be equipped with a large horizontal mold, general, you must guard against it." ”

"So General Dudo, is the Song army already fully equipped?" Song Ji asked from the side.

"No, only a few are equipped."

"Do you know why?"

"I don't know."

"It's very demanding, and it's expensive. And when it comes to getting close, is it better to have a divine arm bow or an ordinary folk bow? ”

Song Ji was half right, although it has been transformed, the current Divine Arm Bow is still not something that all soldiers can pull up. And compared to a real bow, it has to be pedaled full, so it's a little slower in speed. And the material requirements are very picky, coupled with the high cost, which is destined to never replace all the bows and arrows of the Song army.

Therefore, some people in later generations used the divine arm bow to despise the European longbow, which is also wrong, both have their own advantages and disadvantages. At least the Divine Arm Bow can only become a big killer weapon on the battlefield, but it can't really determine the victory or defeat of the entire battlefield.

However, in this battle, the Tanguts were not only facing the Divine Arm Bow.

Of course, no one can guess the final result now, after all, the number of the Western Xia army was so large that more than a hundred people died, as if a hundred or so ants had died.

It was hard to say anything more, and if he continued to say it, it would be a cunning to retreat for himself, and he said: "General, another thing to pay attention to is the wall. (To be continued......) R1292
