Chapter 192: The First Battle (Part II)
"I picked up this life, and it's time to repay it." Hu Qian said silently in his heart, patted his horse to catch up with the enemy, raised his knife and fell, cut down an enemy soldier under the horse, and then slapped the horse and killed again.
"This kid is good, it's not in vain that the big bull tried his best to save him." Li Sangou said. As he also swept his horse into the rear of the enemy army, he began to fight.
The two of them carried hundreds of names, like tigers pounced on the flock, and kept biting, and every bite was dripping with blood.
Wang Ju came out of the woods with the forbidden soldiers.
Not very satisfied, the enemy who pursued first was few, and the results of this ambush battle were narrowed.
Secondly, although they have experienced the training of suppressing bandits, when they arrived at the actual battlefield, the forbidden soldiers were still a little nervous, so they were not accurate enough when shooting.
Wang Ju was not angry, everyone was improving, this is the meaning of actual combat.
He looked around to the left and right, Yao Ji went around behind the enemy, this group of men also had people who could fight, but their command ability was limited, so he had to make a quick decision, so he ordered: "Immediately cut down trees and pick up stones." Remember, time is limited to pick small trees and cut them down. ”
The Forbidden Army burrowed into the woods and began to cut down trees.
In front of the chicken village, he continued to lobby: "Listen to the people in the village, the rescuers you are counting on are scared away, surrender quickly, the patience is limited." ”
There were also several strongmen and strong horses in the village, and one strongman raised his bow and arrows, but was pressed down by the old man beside him.
This arrow can't be recovered when it is released, and as soon as it is released in front, it may be waiting for the whole village to be washed in blood.
But fortunately, the terrain of the chickens is relatively dangerous, so the Yequ village has fallen, and the chicken village has not yet been breached.
Let's hope for a miracle.
But this statement illustrates the pessimism in his heart.
"Weng Weng. The Song army killed again. The strongman with the bow and arrow said in surprise.
Holding Hu Bi was killed and lost his armor, but everyone was a cavalry, and the horses that Li Sangou and they stepped off were all good horses bought with money, there were no best horses, but there were no bad horses. It was lightly armed, and the war horse had less weight, not only did not occupy a disadvantage, but had a slight advantage.
Holding Hu Bi and his men are on the run, but they have never been able to shake off the pursuers of the Song Dynasty.
After turning the mountain pass, Zhihubi finally said angrily: "Turn the horse's head." Kill. ”
There are still nearly a thousand soldiers and horses in the rear, and it will be too much to flee, and he may crush his own camp.
But when this order was given, it became even more deadly.
Some people were ordered to turn their horses' heads, while others continued to run ahead. It was not yet in the open valley, and after an order was given, the formation was even more chaotic.
So the area at the pass became a slaughterhouse again.
He was inexplicable at first, and then he was not persuaded to surrender, and immediately ordered: "Assemble." ”
The Western Xia army and horses assembled.
Li Sangou saw that the enemy cavalry behind him was about to rush to this side, so he slowly ordered to retreat, and at this time there were only more than 100 people under Hu Bi. The soldiers and horses lost were not many, but most of them were elite cavalry.
The general stopped him with Hu Bi and asked, "Why did you lose?" ”
"There are ambushes in the mountains and forests in front of the Song Dynasty."
"How many ambushes are there?"
"In the mountains and forests. I can't see clearly, there are about six or seven hundred people, maybe more. They were all infantry, but they were in the mountains and forests, and it was difficult for horses to enter, so they ......"
He immediately said: "Diao Deyi, you lead two hundred Linglang to wait here, and the rest will be killed with me." ”
You can't fold three or four hundred soldiers and horses in vain. Besides, how can you have the face to go back in the field?
He led nearly a thousand soldiers and horses to kill again.
Less than half an hour. So I came to the mountain road. However, the Song army, under the command of Wang Ju, had built a simple fortification and erected a fence on the mountain road. Behind the fence are stone walls that are half a man high.
He reined in his horse and looked at it with his eyes, if he had prepared it carefully, it would have given him a headache with this fortification alone, but because of the short time, the fence was not strong, and the stone wall was made of random stones, and then mixed with a little yellow mud, it was the wall, and it was even less solid. Therefore, it was immediately said: "Rush over." ”
Wang Ju looked at the enemy coldly.
The forbidden soldiers looked at the enemy, and they looked at him.
I thought to myself, this is really the ruthless lord in the legend, and he is not afraid at all in the face of so many enemy soldiers.
Wang Ju's expression was calm, and it was also transmitted to everyone, so these officers and soldiers silently watched the Xixia people sprint towards them without saying a word. Wang Ju's forehead in his heart, this look is a little bit of an iron army.
The enemy was getting closer and closer, and it was not until he was close to fifty paces that he was ready to draw his bow and arrows, and Wang Ju shouted, "Shoot." ”
At the sound of the order, the arrow in his hand flew out, and just as an enemy soldier was about to release the arrow, the arrow came quickly, and hit him in the chest, and the man screamed, and fell off his horse, and the bow in his hand was loosened, and the arrow shot crookedly into the air.
"Okay." The forbidden soldiers who saw it cheered, this is the quasi-head, not to mention the school field, that archery is not necessarily counted, and it is the real quasi-head if it can shoot the enemy on the battlefield.
Arrows flew wildly, there were Western Xia troops, but more of them were Song troops. However, the Song army was behind the bunker and occupied a high place, so there were not many casualties, but the Tanguts were shot dozens of people.
"Work in groups of three and take turns firing arrows." Wang Ju ordered again.
Under this order, although the density of the arrow rain has decreased, it has almost never stopped, and the short dozens of steps are like a moat, and the Xixia people cannot approach it.
"Withdraw." He had no choice but to give the order to withdraw the three armies, and then stared at the mountains and forests, shouting: "The infantry came out of the formation, divided into two divisions, and entered from the forest." ”
Wang Ju looked at the performance of the Xixia people, chuckled, turned his head to look at the officers and soldiers of the two battalions behind him and asked, "They enter the mountains and forests, and they can't ride horses, are you afraid?" ”
When it came to this, the morale was also raised, and the officers and men of the two battalions replied in unison: "Don't be afraid." ”
"That's good."
Wang Ju also began to divide his troops.
A dense firefight began in the mountains and forests.
He said, "Rush." ”
When the Song Dynasty divided its troops, the defensive strength of this fortification was reduced, and he took the opportunity to make a second charge.
Wang Ju waved the banner, and when Li Sangou saw the banner, he took the fan horse and killed him from behind. Continue to shoot back with arrows.
The two armies continued to fight fiercely, but the scales gradually tipped in favor of the Song army.
"It's our turn." Yao Ji heard the scout's report, looked at his subordinates and said, he didn't have many subordinates, but they were all cavalry. That is, the battalion of Liyuan Fort fell into the army, but because of the lack of horses, only more than 200 people were brought.
It was enough, and when he heard the scout's report, Yao Yi immediately took two hundred horsemen to kill from the back mountain.
There are still Xixia people in front of Ji'er Village, but they are just a group of Bang Linglang. The cannon fodder troops of Western Xia saw more than 200 iron cavalry suddenly coming out from the rear, and before they could fight, they began to flee together.
"Kill." Yao Ji continued to shout.
"There is salvation, there is salvation." The people in the chicken village cheered together.
In more than two hours. Their mood fluctuated, first with surprise, and with Li Sangou leading people to retreat, their mood was low again. However, Li Sangou came back and began to be ecstatic again, but after a while, Li Sangou retreated again, and everyone had to be depressed again.
"It seems that the imperial court really sent officers and soldiers to save us." A strongman said.
It's nonsense, it's all hit this one. What else to talk about is true and false.
Another strongman said, "Kill it." ”
There are more than 100 Ding Zhuang in the village, and some Ding Zhuang still have decent weapons in their hands, after hearing his shout. They shouted together, "Kill it." ”
The crowd pounced from the village.
Yao Yu frowned, and said to his own soldiers: "You give them an order, you don't need them to do it now, and when the enemy's large force is defeated and retreats, when you flee here, everyone will wear white scarves on their arms for easy identification." Let's do it together. ”
The pro-soldier heralds.
At this moment, the prestige of the officers and men is infinitely magnified. Moreover, it is an order under the inspection.
One by one, Ding Zhuang reluctantly retreated to the cottage.
The Lost Army continued to hunt and kill.
However, when the chase reached the mountain pass, Yao Ji ordered: "Stop." ”
No more chasing.
This allowed dozens of Bang Linglang to escape to the side of Zang Kui. One person reported: "General, it's not good, another Song cavalry appeared behind and outflanked us together." ”
The rear was raided, not only the people of Yequ Village who were taken captive, but also the goods they plundered, the weapons and grain and grass they brought.
At this time, he knew that something was wrong, so he had to order: "Withdraw." ”
Wang Ju stood behind the cover, he was not only commanding, but also fighting, and actually let him shoot three enemies, almost making the generals around him die of shame. Seeing that Zang Kui ordered a retreat, he knew that Yao Ji had succeeded in the back, so he said, "Move away the stones." ”
The Forbidden Soldiers removed the stones and knocked down the fences.
Li Sangou brandished a big knife and said, "Kill." ”
Hundreds of horsemen were killed for the third time.
Even the rear was copied, and it was gradually weakened, where did the Xixia people have the heart to fight again, this is the defeat of the army. Especially the Western Xia infantry who were fighting in the mountains and forests, saw that the main force was fleeing, and they were entangled by Li Sangou in the back, and they didn't know where to flee.
Wang Ju said: "Commander Chen, you take the Baojie army to continue to capture and kill these fleeing enemy soldiers, and then clean up the battlefield." The rest of the forbidden soldiers were killed with their own officials. ”
He personally got on the war horse and took the rest of the forbidden soldiers to kill Li Sangou.
He had no choice but to fight and flee, and finally fled back to that valley, and Yao Yu took the Fan Luo army to kill him. There were ambushes in front of the Zang Raid, and there were pursuers in the back, so they had to flee again. But Ding Zhuang of Ji'er Village was also killed from the village, and during this time, Yao Yu had already settled the people of Yequ Village, let the women, children, old and young return to their village, and released weapons to Ding Zhuang. These two villages may not be very strong in combat, but they are all victims, and one by one they are desperately killed into the defeated army.
The sun began to move westward, and the battle of Ji'erzhai ended.
The battle was very tragic, killing more than 900 Western Xia soldiers before and after, and unlike the battle of Wangjiazhai, this Western Xia army was a fighting force dominated by powerful capture troops, nearly half of which were cavalry.
Then he captured nearly 400 Xixia people, although he escaped, but less than 300 of his men escaped, and only more than 100 people followed by Zang Kui, and the rest all fled to the vast mountains and forests, some fled back, and some were caught by 6 in the back. The Song army also suffered two or three hundred casualties.
However, compared to this battle, this casualty is nothing.
And also got more than 500 war horses, only a few dozen horses were too seriously injured to be war horses, but there are still more than 400 horses that can continue to be war horses, and the military horses of the Song Dynasty also have losses, but one in and one out, at least more than 300 war horses have been obtained.
The first battle was a great victory, and the whole valley thundered. (To be continued)
