In fact, there are three reasons why the Song army has won so far, one is calculation, the second is the terrain, and the third is to run.

Wang Ju and Wang Junwan got up last night, first ran from Gyeongju City to Huanju City, and then had to take a baggage car, of course, it was only an empty car when it was taken away, and then pushed to the battlefield, and the sky was still lurking.

It was skating, because the distance was a little far, and the three armies also tossed up and down in the middle of the night.

Miao Zhu came from Ansaizhai with his men, and although they were close, they didn't know how to skate, and they didn't have a river for them to skate, so they also tossed in the middle of the night.

But it's not just the two of them that are running.

There are a lot of people running.

Zhou Yongqing left a few hundred soldiers and horses to Gao Min, and then led the rest of the soldiers and horses to leave Mengmen Sancha. In this way, the strength of Gao Min's subordinates was immediately reduced, but after the entire ice barrage was repaired, it was difficult for the enemy to capture it, and after this battle, the Xia army did not have the heart to fight the idea of Mengmen Sancha. Gao Min's three armies can rest.

However, their strategic significance has already been realized, first, they have blocked the carriage gap road, which is very close to the soldiers and horses of Rinduo Lingding, and must be blocked in order to achieve a greater victory in the battle.

Second, it cut off this grain route and provided the enemy with a steady stream of grain and grass, which made the Xia army's grain and grass more and more in crisis.

This is no less than a victory in a glorious battle, so let them continue to nominally guard the three forks of the Moe Gate [, in fact, rest.

At the time of the third watch, Zhou Yongqing left Mengmen Sancha and returned to Papaya Fort with his subordinates.

Papaya Fort also has garrisons, Zhao Pu's subordinates, and the two departments meet. Run to Whitinburgh again. Zhao Pu is in Whitinburgh. Only the strongmen were left, and the remaining soldiers and horses ran towards Yonghe Village again. At this time, Zhou Zhao's second department, plus a few strongmen, almost approached 10,000 troops!

The other one is also running, and the subordinates of the ancient ones.

The actual number of subordinate officers and soldiers of Chonggu is not large, but if you talk about the number of subordinates, it is not Wang Junwan and Liu Changzuo, but Chonggu. There are more than 20,000 households in Huanzhou, although they are not on the household register. But it does not mean that they are really out of the jurisdiction of the imperial court, ninety percent of these people are Tibetan households, and the imperial court will not tax them, but they must send Ding Zhuang to be a strong man and a strong horse. Therefore, if these strong men and strong horses were counted, his subordinates might be able to reach nearly 20,000 troops.

Of course, this is impossible, such as so many "neutrals", people do not glance at the Song Dynasty at all. There were also some strongmen who were transferred to other armies. Therefore, the troops in the hands of the ancient people are not weak, but there are not many troops that can really be drawn out to participate in such a large-scale movement war.

Ansai Village is still the original three battalions that were divided from the ancient and untouched. Miao Zhu was transferred out, but his soldiers and horses went to Malingchuan. It has nothing to do with the ancient species. Chonggu secretly mobilized more than 3,000 people from Huanzhou and the surrounding areas to rush to Yonghe Village.

They were the closest to Yonghe Village, but they brought a lot of supplies, so although they were close, they came very slowly.

The two rushed to Yonghe Village, which also had enemies, nearly 5,000 Western Xia infantry.

Because of the several night raids launched by Wang Ju, although they besieged Yonghe Village and came for a relatively short time, the camp was well entrenched, and strict fences and trenches were erected overnight, and there were many soldiers patrolling day and night.

Seeing that the Song army had come with so many soldiers and horses, the Western Xia people were as pale as earth, and while hurriedly organizing a rebellion, they sent people to report the rebellion.

Unaware that his nest was about to be destroyed, he continued to stare at the battlefield in front of him.

Two rows of baggage carts slowly squeezed the space.

The rear rescuers can't rush over, and there are soldiers and horses in Suyuan Village, but those soldiers and horses are all militias gathered from Daluo Qianchuan, and the number is small, which one dares to go out of the village to rescue?

Cai Ling Pang Shang is also a fierce general, he was in a hurry, so he first let the cavalry force on the ice, but his opponent was also terrible, the cavalry was on the ice, Wang Junwan kept commanding, and the soldiers always took advantage of the speed advantage and kept shooting from the side.

In just a moment, Xia Qi's courage was worn out by a large number of casualties, and he fled back one after another.

Cai Ling Pang Shang asked the cavalry to forcibly charge the chariot formation, anyway, the whole army will be wiped out later, where can he care about how many deaths will be caused by forcibly charging the chariot formation. However, the wagons were empty, and now they were all filled with heavy dirt.

The advantage of cavalry is in speed, as well as the impact of war horses, so some people say that cavalry is a tank class in the era of cold weapons. However, these baggage carts and dirt were hundreds of pounds in each, and hundreds of carts were linked together, knocking the horses away, and they couldn't shake the chariots. Maybe at this time, Cai Ling Pang Shang understood why Song Jun pushed so slowly. Can you get up quickly?

It is even more impossible to rush to the mountain, as the space is squeezed, the Song army on the various mountains also began to concentrate, they stand on it, and they have a strong attack weapon in their hands, and they can even lift the mountain rocks and smash them down, how can they rush over?

In fact, seeing that the destruction was imminent, Cai Ling Pang Shang regretted a little, if it wasn't for the reinforcements of Yonghezhai, he would have charged to the mountain from the beginning, although the number of dead and wounded was large, but most of the soldiers and horses would have escaped. It's too late now.

He was almost roaring: "Didn't you say that there are few troops here in Huanzhou, where the Song army came?" ”

Suddenly, there was a scream from the crowd.

He looked over and saw Mu Qing being pushed to the ground by dozens of Qiang people, and then poked him with a knife.

These people are all Qiang people from various villages near Suyuan Village who came to defect to Western Xia.

The Song army suppressed the rebellion of Murong Baizi and others, and they were still waiting, but three or four days later they asked to send the strongman to the Song army, and the Song army did not agree. This meant that the Song Dynasty would inevitably suppress them after the war. However, in any case, the Song Dynasty was not a cruel dynasty by nature, and they did not rebel, so could they still slaughter them? Now because of this Mu Qing's persuasion and intimidation, he took Ding Zhuang from the clan to Western Xia. The result?

Guan Jian is dead, and their families are afraid that they will not have a good end in the future.

So he vented his anger on Mu Qing and others.

Cai Ling Pang Shang strode over, raised his sword and fell, one sword at a time, and quickly hacked dozens of turbulent Qiang people to death. The rest of the Qiang people didn't dare to make trouble, they just buried their heads and cried.

Standing in the distance, he couldn't hear Cai Ling Pang Shang's roar, but he saw the commotion of the group of people.

Can't help but save. That's thousands of soldiers. Do you watch them being killed one by one right under your nose?

I was helpless. He immediately ordered 3,000 officers and soldiers to dismount and march from the side mountain road to the rear of Wang Junwan's battalion of officers and soldiers, and then divided 5,000 troops to march from the rear and detour to the rear of Miao Zhu.

This is also a way, unless Miao Zhu can still make a car formation, but it is just to make a car formation. With a flank attack on both sides, coupled with the 3,000 dismounted warriors attacking from behind, Cai Ling Pang Shang's predicament could be solved. If Miao Zhu can't make a car formation, in this flat area, it will be the world of cavalry!

It's just that this one has to go around a long way, and there are some ditches that are very rugged.

The Song army still turned a blind eye to the division of troops and continued to besiege and kill.

The three thousand Xia soldiers quickly climbed over several ridges, and they saw that they were about to reach the rear of Wang Junwan, when suddenly a Song army flashed out from the top of the ridge in front. Shoot with arrows.

Wang Junwan also divided half of his troops and shot at the Xia army who skipped off the ice.

Cavalry and infantry do two jobs. The cavalry can only exert its power when they get on the horse, and the war horse is even inferior to the ordinary Song army. Seeing that the 3,000 Xia army had suffered heavy casualties again, he had no choice but to order a retreat. At this moment, a Song army appeared again on the flank mountain, blocking the three thousand Xia troops at once.

"It's not good," the soul of the Song army was scattered, this was a conscious action of the Song army, they not only wanted to eat Cai Ling Pang Shang's soldiers and horses, but also wanted to eat their own 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Therefore, he once again ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses to forcibly rush back, and at this moment, an urgent report came from the rear, saying that the camp had been attacked, and countless Song troops were besieging his military camp in Yonghezhai.

"Ahh

He was born in a famous family, a child of a reckless family, and fought bravely, so after the failure of the three forks of the Meng Sect, he was still reused by Renduo Lingding. didn't expect that he would soon usher in a second fiasco.

The other general said, "General Gang, withdraw." ”

Cai Ling Pang Shang's army could not be saved, but if he did not withdraw, the rear camp would be copied, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses would be buried here again.

His eyes were about to spurt blood, and he said, "Withdraw." ”

Even the 3,000 men who got off the war horses were gone, and ordered the 5,000 cavalry who had made a detour from a distance to return immediately, and then led the remaining 2,000 cavalry to quickly rush to Yonghe Village.

"This Xia general is stupid, if he doesn't withdraw, Ming Gong will also let him withdraw." The wild dragon bleated.

Wang Ju also smiled slightly, it is calculated, but it is still very difficult to turn the calculation into reality, but the current development is basically not separated from his and Zhang Qi's calculations, and when it comes to this point, Wang Ju breathed a sigh of relief, and he said: "Order, let these two Xia armies surrender." ”

When the order came, shouting all over the mountains: "Put down your arms, come over with your head in your hands, surrender and don't kill." ”

At the beginning, there were not many Xia soldiers who surrendered, but as the reckless Tibetan disappeared without a trace, and the two chariot formations gradually approached, Cai Ling Pang Shang said dejectedly: "Surrender." ”

Most of the surrenders will become mine slaves, but the Song Dynasty has a lot of Gou and faction, if the domestic operation is done properly, maybe there will be a glimmer of life to return to China, but if he resists, at least he doesn't want to live in this part.

After giving this order, he fell on the ground and cried.

You can lose, but you can't lose like this.

The three armies disarmed and surrendered.

Wang Ju walked down the hill and accepted prisoners of war.

Wang Junwan and Miao Zhu immediately divided their troops to Dongshan.

Seeing that this was not good, some of them surrendered, and some of them fled to the vast Liangyuan further east.

"Who are the prisoners of war from Daluo Qianchuan?" Wang Ju looked at the black captive and asked.

No one dared to answer, and Wang Ju said: "Since I promised not to kill if I surrendered, I would not kill, but now I need prisoners of war from Daluo Qianchuan to bring me a few words, and by the way, I will give you a chance to go home." ”

After saying that, hundreds of prisoners of war came out from behind.

Wang Ju arbitrarily nodded, pointed out more than 20 prisoners of war, and said to them: "You immediately go back to Suyuan Village, and say to the soldiers in the village, let them go, let them go back, if they don't go back when it gets dark, they will lead this army to storm Suyuan Village, and all the soldiers in the village will be killed." ”

Siege is not the strength of Western Xia, but for the Song army, if you want to attack the city, it is also difficult, this is to recapture Suyuan Village at the least cost. However, Suyuan Village is not so important now.

More than 20 prisoners of war hurriedly fled to Suyuanzhai.

Of course, there are less than 1,000 Xia soldiers left in the village, and the front is so defeated, when you hear the rumors, you will inevitably give up Suyuan Village and flee back to Daluo Qianchuan.

Wang Ju continued: "Who is Ding Zhuang from the Song Realm around Suyuan Village? ”

There was no one to answer, betrayal was more shameful and hateful than invasion, Wang Ju had no choice but to continue: "A certain Wang Ju, the former Huachi Zhixian, I believe that some of you have also heard of my reputation, I said that if I don't kill, I won't kill, and now I still give some of you a chance to go home." ”

Only then did a few hundred people come out boldly, and Wang Ju singled out one of them and asked, "Those few villagers participated in the mutiny?" ”

The man replied cautiously, there were seven stockades in total, but not all the "neutrals" around Suyuan Village were involved in the betrayal, and six more stockades continued to remain silent. There were still several villages left, but they all obeyed Wang Ju's orders and withdrew to the rear, including the people of a small village two hundred paces away in front of Wang Ju.

Wang Ju said to Yelong Basheng: "You take a team of soldiers and horses, and send an order to these six villages, saying that they have forgiven them, but let them immediately pack up their belongings and livestock, and wait for the Western Xia people to withdraw from Suyuan Village, and enter Suyuan Village, but they must defend Suyuan Village for the imperial court, and make meritorious contributions." ”

"Whoa."

After the wild dragon bleated, Wang Ju randomly selected more than 30 Ding Zhuang from the six villages, and said to them: "You immediately go back to your respective villages, and give orders to the rest of the people in the villages, let them take their property and luggage, and immediately get out of the Song Dynasty. ”

"Ming Gong, we know that we are wrong."

"Ming Gong, let us go."

Hundreds of Qiang people knelt down together, crying and pleading.

It is easy to get out of the territory of the Song Dynasty, and it is not far from the west to belong to the territory of Western Xia, but Ding Zhuang of all villages gathered together, and they were either killed or captured, and the remaining group of women and children fled to the Xia realm, what could happen?

Wang Ju said viciously: "When you participated in the betrayal, when you took up arms and killed the strongmen guarding Suyuan Village, you were doomed to this fate. ”

The fact that things have evolved to this point is also the result of Wang Ju's deliberate instigation. If this is not the case, Huanzhou will not be able to rectify it in the future. But these people really can't leave, and Wang Ju really can't do it. Did you really raise a butcher's knife and kill a group of women, old and young?

However, he was not polite to this group of Ding Zhuang, Wang Ju sent a team of soldiers and horses, escorted them to Huanzhou City along with the injured horses, and then put them in a cell. In the future, all of them will be sent to mining, and they will be sent to the far south for mining.

The thirty or so Ding Zhuang had to leave angrily. In fact, even if Wang Ju doesn't kill, they may not end well, they killed so many strongmen last night, and many of them are also strongmen from surrounding villages. These Qiang people like to hold grudges again, and when the people of each village return one after another after the war, there is only a group of women and children in these seven villages, what will happen?

Of course, this Wang Ju didn't care, and then he looked at the biggest gain at the moment, thousands of war horses, some of which were shot dead and some of which were injured. Wang Ju said: "Wang Junwan, you immediately send someone to send the uninjured war horse to the Zhenrong army. ”

Although there are many war horses killed and injured, there are still many war horses that are not injured, as many as more than 3,000, Cai Ting may be about to attack Tiandu Mountain, if you want to attack Tiandu Mountain, then you have to surprise attack, fast attack, but what is most lacking in Jingyuan Road, it is also a horse.

This sad horse.

These more than 3,000 war horses were sent to the Zhenrong army, and Cai Ting would be like a tiger. However, there are more horses under the hands of Zang Kui, and even more are the horses under the hands of Ren Duo Ling Ding and Liang Yi, which is what makes Wang Ju salivate.
