Chapter 495: The Battle Begins (Part II)

This seems to be a small trick, but if you put it in Liang Yi's heart, it is not a small trick. He immediately thought of many things, the status of the Liang family, the peace faction, the party and the royal family, and their supporters.

Song Ji has no choice, he is the "chief designer", but this battle has been fought until now, and the whole has been bumped and bumped, and there have been heavy losses. As for the Song army, in addition to the loss of a ruined fort, the casualties of the soldiers were less than a fraction of theirs. From the point of view, he doesn't seem to be as good as Du Duo La, so what can he do if he doesn't give Du Duo La, so what can he do?

But back then, Yuan Shao's strategist Tian Feng was killed by Feng Ji in this way.

Liang Yibury walked around, thought for a while, and immediately ordered to let Du Dola launch a general attack and comprehensively oppress the Song army.

Of course, he also had to prepare to launch a general attack, but Liang Yongneng led a large army to come, and he didn't work hard all the way, and the logistics couldn't keep up, and his own logistics were also in short supply, so he had to transfer logistics supplies from the White Leopard City.

So the general attack is tomorrow.

At this time, Du Dora was also depressed.

Yesterday evening, the rangers came back to report that there were a lot of troops in Huachi City, and it was not clear how many there were, but it was not much less than the number of troops in Liyuan Fort. In the rear, there was another Song army in Pingrong Town.

Moreover, Huachi City is almost built along the mountain, which is even more difficult to attack. So don't make up your mind.

{However, I heard another piece of good news, saying that Fengchuan was empty, and there was almost no Song soldier, only some strong men were defending.}

"It's unlikely," was the first thing Du Dora said after hearing it. Fengchuan's status is not bad, and the southeast controls Longpan Town and the rear of Gyeongju. Behind it is Naola County. In some ways. Its location is far superior to that of Liyuan Fort. Otherwise, Fan Zhongyan would not have deliberately spent a lot of money to rebuild it manually.

And the ranger brought back another sentence, saying that there were still a large number of people and materials in Fengchuan. How, they did not enter the city, so they could not know.

has suffered several big losses in a row, and he is a little suspicious.

Last night, he still hadn't made up his mind. At dawn, he saw the same fire.

In fact, these forts on the front line of Huanqing Road are not far away, but they are separated by mountains. So it looks far away. But the firelight doesn't go around the mountain road, it shines in a straight line. Not only Rouyuan Village, but also Liyuan Fort, Dashun City and Donggu Qiang, saw this firelight together. It's just that Donggu is a little far away and can't see it clearly.

"There's a change." Therefore, in the morning, Du Duo was even more suspicious, and sent a ranger to Fengchuan to inspect again, anyway, he didn't care about this day and half a day.

He never dreamed that there were still a large number of Song troops in Ningzhou.

The ranger went to Fengchuan again.

Du Dolayan sent rangers to the direction of Anjiang Fort to inquire about the news. There is also a trail here, but it is a little farther and a little difficult to walk.

But it's not noon. Du Dora found out part of the truth.

He felt lost.

The Song army that suddenly appeared was undoubtedly the Song army that inexplicably killed out of the city that day. It's useless to question it. However, this series of tactics made him suspect that it was really arranged by Li Fugui? Don't talk about Dou Shunqing in Dashun City, he can't make all the three armies listen to his move.

At this moment, the ranger who went to Fengchuan came back to report and confirmed it.

"False jade, you immediately lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Fengchuan Fort, if the Song army of Huachi comes out to rescue, you must entangle them, and then I will lead the army to kill."

Can't wait any longer, the time will pass in the blink of an eye. Moreover, the Song army seems to have deployed a large number of soldiers and horses on the front line, and it is believed that there are not many troops available in the entire Huanqing Road.

With an army of 10,000, he slaughtered Fengchuan Village.

However, just after noon, he sent someone to send a message back, saying that more than 10,000 Song troops had just arrived in Fengchuan from the direction of Longpan Village, and asked what to do with Du Dola?

Anyway, the three armies have stopped.

This is not a small number of Song troops, but more than 10,000 Song troops, plus the strong men and horses in the original village, the strength is even stronger. This one dared to run to the foot of Fengchuan and get out of touch with the army, maybe it became an appetizer for the Song army.

In fact, this is still an opportunity.

Liu Changzuo had just led the army into the village, the people were sleepy and the horses were tired, and after vacating the house, he spread hay on the ground, picked up some warm mattresses, and fell asleep together. Where can you still fight?

But I don't know, there are so many soldiers and horses under the city of Dashun City, and even more soldiers and horses were folded last night. Despite getting Fort Anjiang, how much did the Song army lose in terms of troops?

This made Du Duo Lazhen even more frightened, so he immediately ordered to let Tan Yiyu withdraw his troops back, don't look at his own troops, if he disperses them one by one, if he doesn't get it right, he will let the Song army gnaw it off one by one, especially like last night, two or three mouthfuls will be gnawed away. Therefore, it is necessary to concentrate the forces.

His approach made Yao Yuchang breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that he was trapped in Liyuan Fort and lost contact with the outside world, so he didn't know what was going on outside, but with the Xia people's withdrawal, Huachi City's troops could be quietly withdrawn.

Each is fighting with his mind.

Du Dolayan never thought that the army sent out in the morning would make Yao Yu so distressed, and after he gave the order to withdraw the army, he sat in the big tent and thought hard.

He didn't know how many troops there were in the entire Huanqing Road, but he could make an estimate. The Song Dynasty claimed to have 300,000 troops stationed in Shaanxi, but that was impossible, how many officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty could have. This 300,000 actually includes the militia, including the strongmen on the edge of the border. The real officers and soldiers, including the soldiers and Baojie, were only 300 battalions. It was divided into five roads. Therefore, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 officers and soldiers on Huanqing Road.

However, it seems that there are 30,000 or 40,000 officers and soldiers invested in the front line now, and it is impossible to leave no troops in the rear.

But where did these more than 10,000 Song troops come from?

It is impossible to send reinforcements from Yanzhou, even if Yanzhou sends reinforcements, it is impossible to reach more than 10,000 people, and it will not go to Fengchuan, but to Huachi Town.

So there is only one possibility, the reinforcements transferred from Chang'an, but will the reinforcements from Chang'an be so fast? To know. The Western Xia army appeared in Dashun City. It's only been a matter of a few days.

At this time, he even more faintly found that there was a problem.

Of course. He also thought about sending scouts to the rear to investigate, but the problem now is that the Song Dynasty withdrew the people from the suburbs of Gyeongju together.

The people who are still wandering in the suburbs are either scouts of Western Xia or Song Dynasty.

Therefore, since the Western Xia army came in full swing, when they saw someone wandering in the field, they immediately chased and killed. Now, including the suburbs in front of Fengchuan and Huachi City, there are no Song Dynasty scouts haunting. But this line has been crossed. That was the world of the scouts of the Song Dynasty again.

As long as you send scouts yourself, even if you go to Longpan Town, you may be discovered and killed by the scouts of the Song Dynasty, not to mention crossing Meridian Mountain and going to the rear of Gyeongju to find out information.

Du Duo La's mistakes were overwhelmed, but in order for the Western Xia army to never make mistakes again, he wrote his thoughts on the letter and sent someone to Rouyuan Village.

But as soon as the messenger left, he received an order from Liang Yibury. Let him storm Liyuan Fort.

Then let's attack.

Anyway, the three armies are gathered together, and they have an absolute advantage in terms of troops, at least here in Liyuan Fort. Du Dora ordered the three armies to launch a general offensive.

At the same time, the other side fought more intensely.

After a morning of onslaught. The Song army suffered heavy casualties again.

Wei Qingzong looked at the sun, and it began to gradually move westward. So he ordered: "Bring out the fierce fire oil." ”

Sister Baa Luo also stood on the tower and watched.

Last night, Guo Qing brought a hundred recruits to replace the seriously wounded in the city.

But the number of people didn't increase much, so Mei Qingba Luo didn't notice it.

After a morning of fierce fighting, the Song army only had more than 400 soldiers left who could continue to fight.

This is a good phenomenon, if there are more casualties, immediately the Song Dynasty will not even have enough troops to defend the city. Therefore, he decisively ordered: "The three armies will attack the city together." ”

After a day and a half of fierce fighting, the Tanguts suffered heavier casualties, but they had the advantage in strength, so although they lost nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses, this advantage in strength was gradually expanding.

Groups of enemies approached the Slush Castle.

At this time, the younger sister saw Song Jun bring up small jars, and he heard about the fierce fire oil, but for the time being, he had not associated these small jars with the fierce fire oil, thinking that it was gunpowder. Therefore, he shouted: "Pay attention to the gunpowder of the Song people. ”

Then he estimated that this was Song Jun going to fight hard.

This wave of attacks will probably be able to take Slush Castle. However, until now, the fierceness of the Song army also made him secretly frightened, and even before launching the attack yesterday morning, he did not expect that the Song army would have such combat effectiveness, thinking that it would not take a day to take this fort. That knows how tough it is.

It seemed to be gunpowder, and torches were then lit on the city. In this era, with a tongue of fire, it's a bit of a fuck, you have to paddle slowly, it's too slow.

Thousands of Xia soldiers carefully stared at these small jars, which were gunpowder, and they were still very nervous, although it seemed that these small jars were not big, so the explosion power would not be too great, but the Song Dynasty liked to put some messy things in the gunpowder, especially those iron thistles and iron nails.

So everyone is a little timid.

Seeing this situation, Mei Qing Baluo sent someone to send an order to the front: "Don't be afraid, these small jars are very small, the power of the explosion is not great, and the thistle terrestris inside will not kill people after the explosion, at most they will be injured, everyone pay attention." ”

I really kind of understand.

Under his repeated encouragement, thousands of summer soldiers got closer and closer.

Wei Qingzong stood at the head of the city and never gave an order.

It wasn't until the enemy came to the head of the city one by one, erected siege ladders, and kept climbing up, seeing that some people rushed to the head of the city, that Wei Qingzong ordered: "Let go." ”

Small jars lit up and smashed on enemy soldiers.

This one is too handy, unlike a bow and arrow, which must be fully drawn before you can shoot, and it is not as slow as a trebuchet, nor is it as heavy as a rolling stone skull.

The small ceramic jar hit the enemy and immediately cracked, and the fierce fire oil sprayed on the enemy at the same time, and a sea of fire rose from the enemy one by one. In the blink of an eye, five or six hundred enemy soldiers became burning men, and they were burned to the ground.

"Fierce fire oil," Mei Qingluo suddenly thought.

"Withdraw, withdraw." He immediately gave the order, for the simple reason that there were many small jars in the city.

In fact, without his order, there were already many Xia soldiers who retreated timidly.

The big killer weapon was thrown, but Mei Qingba Luo couldn't think of any way to deal with it.

What is fatal is that Renduo Lingding repeatedly ordered that this fort must be taken in the afternoon. What to do? He walked around, and finally had to ask his soldiers to immediately go to the camp in front of Huai'an Town, inform Ren Duo Lingding, and let Ren Duo Lingding find a way.

There was no way to attack, and this burn not only burned many people, but also burned the morale of the three armies together. Even if you are not afraid of death, you can't die like this.

At this moment, Ren Duo Ling Ding is also thinking hard.

The night attack of Anjiang Fort reached his ears a little late, after all, there was Fort Meili and Donggu Rock between it and Rouyuan Village.

Because of this separation, he did not receive any information that a huge Song army was stationed in Fengchuan. But things have come to this point, and he vaguely feels that something is wrong.

At this moment, the information was sent to him, and he was also puzzled, if Song Jun had such a killing weapon, why it had not been used so far. How much fierce fire oil can be held in a small jar, but how many small jars can be filled with the fire in front of Dashun City. Could it be that the people of the Song Dynasty actually didn't have much of this kind of fierce fire oil in their hands?

He really guessed correctly.

But Ren Duo Lingding was just guessing, so the next question came, if Song Jun didn't have much fierce fire oil in his hand, why did he put so much in Slush Castle.

It can be understood in Dashun City, even if it is placed in Rouyuan Village, Liyuan Fort and Huai'an Town, it can also be understood, but it cannot be understood in Slush Castle.

Thinking of this, he immediately issued an order: "Ignorance, you immediately lead 10,000 soldiers and horses, no, lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to Fort Merrey and take this fort." ”

"So what do you do?"

"It's okay, the Song army in Huai'an Town doesn't have many troops, and they don't dare to go out of the city to fight."

"Whoa."

"By the way, you immediately assemble the handle of the shield instead, do you understand?"

"It's a good idea," said Zang's eyes.

You can't use a shield to block the use of fierce fire oil, this is not the previous fierce fire oil, I heard that it is very powerful.

Even if it is smashed on the shield, as long as it splashes on the body, the fire will immediately burn.

However, the shield is equipped with a handle, so the concave side rushes to the enemy, and the fierce fire oil is not easy to splash on the soldiers. He received the order, and at this point, the battle really began. (To be continued......) R1292
