931. Chapter 931: Qu Duan's apology

Just as they were eagerly discussing the pros and cons and the atmosphere was hot, Wang Qingchang came, still puffing up. 『言*情*首*发【大學包novel网手机版m.dashubao】

The war in the northwest was continuing, the Great Song Dynasty was a great army, and the Xia army also carried out a series of resistances.

Li Yanxian's Fifth Battalion Flying Cavalry and Dragoon Cavalry Nearly 20,000 people, nearly 10,000 horse troops, 4,000 infantry cavalry, plus car battalions, baggage, strong crossbows and other troops, just crossed the Great Wall Ridge and encountered the troops under the command of the Hongzhou Commander of the Jianing Military Division, which was composed of various tribes and horse armies, as well as Da Linglang, about 20,000 people.

Li Yanxian also commanded the flying cavalry, he took the dragoon army as the main soldier and the flying cavalry army as the surprise soldier, integrated the chariots and infantry cavalry of the two armies, covered the two wings with baggage vehicles, and the chariot battalion was the front of the army, and resisted the fierce attack of the Xia army and did not send the horse army to counterattack.

Originally, in the face of the stubborn defense of the Song army, the Xia army had no effect on several attacks, and no longer planned to fight, but sent rangers to monitor, and found that the Song army was not moving forward, and after passing the news, two thousand horsemen came to monitor the nearest one.

Where did they think that the Song army's dragon cavalry army suddenly killed, and it was too late for them to retreat, so they could only face the battle head-on.

The result is very obvious, in order to save his own people, he constantly invested in the troops, and gradually formed a general battle of tens of thousands of people, which is exactly the result that Li Yanxian wants.

Don't look at the Song army, there are only two armies, but they are extremely well-equipped, and they are all troops with the horse army as the core, tens of thousands of horse troops and thousands of foot cavalry, which are definitely a powerful force, enough to compete with any elite of the Xia army.

The Xia army said that there were 20,000, but in fact, in addition to the 5,000 Linglang infantry army, the 15,000 tribal army, that is, half of the regular soldiers, although the burden could also be put into battle, but in terms of numbers, it was already inferior, not to mention the armor equipment, it was not a level at all.

The two armies engaged in a fighting battle on the field, and Li Yanxian calmly commanded and used crossbow arrows to strike hard at the Xia army, so that they could not get close to the military formation.

The dragoons were on the periphery, and the flying cavalry was on the inside, with two chariot battalions to attack to reduce the casualties of the horse army, and the infantry cavalry followed up the battle, a standard mechanized combat method. It is not as powerful as Li Shifu's car brigade, but it is also a galloping of thousands of horses, and the chariots are rolling, which makes the Xia soldiers tremble.

The Xia army could not adapt at all, with the powerful horse teams of the Song army on both flanks, the powerful attack of the Song army's chariots and infantry cavalry in the front, and the threat of the dragoon army on the outside, this battle was simply impossible to fight.

There was no suspense in the battle, the Xia army of 20,000 people completely collapsed, except for the small horse army that broke through in batches, those infantry troops who had no time to retreat were killed by the Song army, not annihilated but slaughtered.

The five thousand commanders fought more heroically, not because they were really brave, but because there was no way out. Because, in the previous wars against the Song Dynasty, they all fought for their lives for that pitiful position, and they were the most active in killing the border people, and they could still please the Song army if they fell into the hands of the Song army

This time, they fell into the hands of the Song army, and they were determined to be unable to surrender, how could they not desperately resist the Song army from all walks of life in Shaanxi, and they had no good impression of these pretending commanders, and they could kill as much as they could, and those who could not be killed should also be killed.

The results of the first battle were satisfactory, killing more than 5,000 Xia soldiers, capturing 3,000 people, and more than 2,000 horses, which was enough to collapse 20,000 people.

When Qu Duan received the battle report, he was very happy, although he reconciled the potential contradictions, but after all, it was the first battle victory, defeated 20,000 Xia troops, and took Hongzhou, and the shame of the 46th Brigade Town could also be revealed.

"Okay, now our eyes are going to focus on the eastern part of Yanzhou, annihilating the main force of the left wing of Shengqiang in one fell swoop, and the big thing can be half done."

However, he said that Guli Hei also decisively contracted his soldiers and horses, focusing on defending the Weizhou area and guarding against Wu Jue's seventh battalion.

Originally, Li Shifu fell into a static defense, it was a great threat, and the loss was not small, Liu Yanliang's eighth battalion only had one army, but it was not so simple, but the Yunyi Army was an old forbidden army, the whole army mobilized 18,000 people, and with 4,000 township army archers, it was definitely a terrifying force, enough to pose a threat to the Xia army near Sanyuandi, and his arrival made Li Liangfu turn around.

Li Renzhong was still persisting and did not want to return in vain, but Li Liangfu was shaken. His troops were called 100,000, and there were indeed so many of them.

However, the continuous consumption for days is only half of the burden, and his regular army is only about 40,000 people, and he is still able to deal with Pingqiang City, and it is really difficult to deal with Liu Yanliang's Yunjie army.

At this time, the Xia army had already heard the news of the official launch of the Great Song Dynasty, and the rangers of the Yunyi Army appeared frequently, they were discouraged and had no fighting spirit.

As a last resort, he could only let Ren Duoye follow Li Renzhong and lead 20,000 regular soldiers to move westward, which could not only resist the Yunyi Army, but also break away from Pingqiang City, which could be regarded as his precautionary duty to save Li Renzhong's life.

He is the commander of the army, and it is impossible for him to leave the battlefield lightly, but Li Renzhong can't help but go.

There was no movement on the Xihe Road, Shao Xing did not slack off, he gathered the car battalions of Yunjie and Fanluo Army, and sent an envoy to the commander of the Western Servant Army, asking him to transfer additional car soldiers, at least three battalions, before he could launch an attack.

This proves that the battle of the 52nd Brigade Town has entered the eyes of the high-level colonel, Shao Xing has always been ethereal in the use of soldiers, and he has stayed in Xihe Road for a few years, and has a deeper understanding of the horse army and the chariot soldiers.

Qu Duan had already recognized the sharpness of Che Bingying, and although he did not touch the essence, it did not prevent him from judging Shao Xing's intentions.

The Ninth Battalion was to form a car brigade to cooperate with the Ma Army on the battlefield, and when the main force of the Xia Army was attracted by the Song Army, a rapid operation was carried out, obviously in preparation for Liangzhou.

Because, the results of Liangzhou Toastama and Li Shifu's chariot brigade show that the new-style chariot soldiers can just restrain the horse army.

The generals of the Great Song Dynasty did not understand people, but the gap in thinking, so that many people did not realize the innovation of tactics, as long as they saw the bright spots, they would draw inferences from one case and use them.

It can also be regarded as Wang Xiu's luck, whether it is Qu Duan, Shao Xing, Yue Fei and others, they are all contemporary heroes, their understanding of new tactics may not be satisfactory, but they will never reject new tactics and new weapons, but will use them.

Qu Duan's request to Shao Xing was also understandable, and he immediately transferred some inventory of chariots for marshalling, and sent an urgent official to Wang Xiu, requesting that the Northern Servant Army Vehicle Brigade be transferred to participate in the war, which could be regarded as an apology for dealing with Wang Xiu in the past.

It is obviously not easy for him to bow his head, as a general with personality and very arrogant, it is not easy to admit his mistake even if he is through the way of increasing troops.
