Chapter 29: Political Wars
Standing tall to see far, this is the truth, but unfortunately standing high in the world is small, I used to have a dream about the big Huai country, and the current state is similar to the period when the big Huai country opened up the territory.
People the size of ants are fighting to the death on the plains, and they can't see the specific battle, they can only see the changes in the formation, Qingyi Jiegui Zhang is a commander under the command of the left-wing general, and the guy who likes to fight must be at the forefront of the battle.
Yun Zheng took off the jade pendant on his belt and held it in his hand, the delicate nephrite jade was not warm, on the contrary, it was cold to the bone, and the Jiaoluo and the main formation that did not hide the false Pang did not move, but as if they had made an appointment, they were retreating, and it seemed that they were all engaged in a limited battle.
A dark cloud suddenly rose from the back of the Western Xia people, and Sun Qizhi sighed lightly: "This is the Western Xia Divine Arm Crossbow!" It's just that the cost is expensive, and the army is rarely equipped, so I can't imagine that there are so many in the Montenegrin military division that has not hidden the falsehood. β
(Brothers, don't think that the divine arm crossbow is an invention of the Song Dynasty, in fact, it is a Western Xia Li Hong)
Yun Zheng watched the clouds disappear into the military formation of the Qingtang people, and the people there suddenly turned on their backs and became a mess, but the Qingtang people seemed to be on guard, holding high the leather shield and continuing to attack the Xixia people bravely.
The soldiers in front are fighting, but the follow-up troops are truncated by the divine arm crossbow, even if there are a small number of remnants, they can't do perfect support, the vanguard is gradually decreasing, according to Yun Zheng's opinion, it is not too far from collapse.
"The Qingtang people are about to lose, and the attack on the left wing will not work, and it will not form a threat to the right wing of the people, so it is only a matter of time before the rout is defeated." Yun Zheng watched it for a long time, and couldn't think of any other way for the people of Qingtang to turn the tables.
But the Qingtang people on the battlefield slapped Yun Zheng hard with practical actions, and as the number decreased, those Qingtang people seemed to stabilize their position, Yun Zheng couldn't understand the current situation, and looked at Lang Lige and Sun Qi. I hope they can give themselves a reasonable explanation, Hanlin has not fought a large-scale war, and he will not understand, as for Peng Jiu and Liang Ji Yunzheng, they are even more unexpected.
Langrig's face does not change color. Still looking at the battle situation in front of him like an iceberg, his current state may be the state he was in before he went into battle.
"The first to die are all recruits, the background of Jiaoguo Luo is not as deep as the Xixia people, those recruits may be okay to fight with the wind, once they encounter a harsh war, they often cannot become combat power, but will become a burden to the rest of the veterans.
At this time of the battle, the recruits were almost dead, and the combat power of the veterans gradually appeared. Their cooperation, attack, and killing are extremely skillful, and they can effectively fill the vacancies left by the recruits, so there will be such a situation instead.
However, such a situation cannot be maintained for a long time. After all, a person's body is limited, from the beginning of the battle to now, it has been half an hour, and if there is another pillar of incense, their body will be exhausted, and then it will be the turn of the Tanguts to start the massacre, once it reaches that point. The gods can't save them. β
Yun Zheng nodded while listening, Peng Jiu and Liang Ji also looked at the crowd fighting in the distance, although they couldn't see the movements of those people clearly, they could imagine the tragedy of the battlefield, and they felt that they would definitely encounter such a scene in their lifetime, and they didn't even have to think about it. Peng Jiu couldn't imagine that a year ago he was just a suck officer in a slump army, and now he has been fighting countless battles with bandits, robbers, and now, he has come to a place where the Great Song army has never set foot. I also have to go to Li Yuanhao's demon cave for a walk, according to the general, to see if there is anything cheap to get ......
Thinking about the cheapness of the Xixia people, there is probably only this young general of his own.
The Chinese army of the Tangut people sounded the drum, and the slowly retreating Chinese army actually stopped retreating, but was slowly moving forward, Yun Zheng saw it very clearly, it seemed that the Tangut people were about to attack on a large scale.
Suddenly, Yun Zheng found that a few black dots appeared on the white saline-alkali ground, and then these black dots became a thick black line, when the dark clouds formed by the arrows covered the phalanx of the divine arm crossbow, Yun Zheng found out that he was really a new ding on the battlefield, the people of Qingtang had long known the storage of the divine arm crossbow, in order to make up for the lack of range of the bow and arrow, they dug a long tunnel, let the archers hide inside, and then covered it with white saline-alkali soil, and deliberately avoided it during the foot fight, The cavalry did not move when the decisive battle, and even when the cavalry was defeated and retreated, it was silent until the moment of deciding the outcome came, and then suddenly attacked, after a rain of arrows in a row shrouded the Shenjian crossbow phalanx, there was a dead silence, after all, the Shenjian crossbowmen did not have a shield to cover, and they stood behind the cavalry, in order to cut off the reinforcements of the Qingtang people in the distance, they were too far ahead.
These archers are obviously masters, after solving the god arm crossbowmen, their arrows are flying on the battlefield like locusts, it didn't take much time for Yun Zheng to find the Xixia people who have an advantage in numbers, at this time their advantage is not so obvious, and at this time, the reinforcements of the Qingtang people have arrived......
Yun Zheng put his hands to his mouth, gulping hot air on it, what he saw just now was so shocking that he forgot about the cold, and his two hands were clutched on the bluestone slab, which was already frozen unconscious.
The piercing gongs and drums sounded, the Tangut people's brigade slowly moved forward, constantly spitting arrows, and slowly retreated to their own army, and the cavalry of the Qingtang people kept spinning outside the range of arrows, trying to find a breakthrough, but the Tangut people did not give the Qingtang people such a chance, leaving behind the dead men and dead horses all over the ground, and slowly retreated back to the camp on the horizon.
Countless Qingtang people rode horses on the battlefield to cheer and howl, and the horses were full of the heads of the Tangut people around their necks, and the rough ones also held their heads in their hands and galloped around the battlefield, which was a ceremony for the victors to celebrate.
"The Xixia people's divine arm crossbow is very good, it is very powerful when shooting from a distance, under our combat power, this thing can effectively strengthen our combat power, I heard that Tokyo Bianliang City also has it, but there are not many, Hanlin, can you get a divine arm crossbow? With just one intact Divine Arm Crossbow, I can restore a hundred, or more, and if I give him a makeover, I'm sure it'll be a cavalry nightmare. β
Lang Lige shook his head and said: "There is a principle for the use of the divine arm crossbow, that is, it cannot fall into the hands of the enemy, the crossbowman knows that there is no hope of breaking through, the first thing he has to do is to completely destroy the divine arm crossbow, and not let the enemy succeed, just now the god arm battalion suffered heavy losses, and it is too late to take away those left god arm crossbows, and the retreating cavalry will definitely take away those god arm crossbows, and those that cannot be taken away will be completely destroyed, so that the Qingtang people cannot use them." β
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "I don't need a good one, I only need a broken one to be restored, even if there are one or two less traps, I will restore it." β
Han Lin smiled and said, "In that case, I'll go to the battlefield and see if I can bring you back some rags." β
Sun Qizhi shook his head and said: "There is no need for that, Karochuan is the only way for us to enter Western Xia, as long as we wait until the two armies leave, we can pick up the rags, at this time, the wind and grass on the battlefield, even a corpse is in the wrong position, it will be discovered by the scouts, don't doubt it, Lang Lige has this ability." β
Liang Ji, who was looking at the battlefield in a daze, suddenly said, "Don't they collect the corpses?" β
Sun Qizhi sighed and said, "Hawk's beak, the wolf's belly is their coffin." β
The war that had been prepared for three months was actually fought in one morning, at dusk, smoke rose on the horizon, the majestic stockade was burning violently, the flames reflected the slightly dark sky red, and the black Pang abandoned his camp and left the Kaluo River, Sun Qizhi and Lang Lige angrily pointed to the huge roar in the distance, the war was not over, the victory was not divided, that loss was nothing to the 50,000 army of Western Xia, why would they admit defeat?
Yun Zheng knew the trick inside, but he didn't plan to explain to Lang Lige and Sun Qizhi that he didn't hide Pang and came to Karochuan to defeat the battle, even if he could win, he would deliberately defeat it, he didn't have a good impression of Jiaoluo, and deliberately released water, the reason was very simple, Li Yuanhao lost to Jiaoluo, if he didn't hide Pang and won, his situation would definitely be worse after he went back. So this battle is a battle fought for political purposes, not for military purposes, and the difference between the two is too great.
There is no good show to watch, the purpose of Jiaoluo and Wuzang Pang has been achieved, and they are happily collecting troops and returning to the camp, and the unobstructed Karochuan is not a good place to camp troops.
Yun Zheng spent another night on the sentry post in Montenegro, and when he woke up, he found that Lang Lige was at the mercy of six corpses, all of them were Qingtang cavalry, Lang Lige's demeanor was serious as if he was carving, and he kept spraying a little water on a certain part of the corpse, or grabbed a handful of the corpse with his hand with an iron hook, and the most terrifying thing was that he would use an iron hook to gouge out the eyes of the frozen corpse, but after being at his mercy, those corpses were more like being trampled by wild beasts.
Sun Qizhi carefully removed the ashes of last night out of the fire pit with a cloth pocket, and poured the ashes of the day before yesterday into the fire pit, and shook the cloth pocket in his hand vigorously, and the entire outpost became gray.
"We can't make people think that we've been here, so Cheng DΓΉ's disguise should be enough." Sun Qizhi waved his hand at Yun Zheng, and the six people went down the mountain in turn, and when they led the horses, Yun Zheng found that the original six horses had many wounds on their bodies, and they had not found any wounds when they went up the mountain.
"These people accidentally extinguished the fire, and they were frozen to death without fire. One of them ran down and drank a lot of horse blood, and because he didn't dare to leave his post without permission, he ran up to the checkpoint again, and as a result, he also froze to death......"
"No tinder will kill people? As far as I know, you can make fire by drilling wood......"
"That's what you think! That's what we've done before! Lang Lige brutally interrupted Yun Zheng's questioning.
