Chapter 974: Stalling for Time

How could Situ En and Wei Xun not know the tragic situation, if they could choose, they would show the advantage of cavalry and move, but the conditions really did not allow them to retreat, and they had to ensure the safety of the fishing city.

The fishing city was still very lively during the day, and Zheng Rongde came early to wait for Li De to get up.

"Husband, Zheng Derong has been waiting for a long time."

"Is there anything he has come for something?"

Zheng Derong, a businessman, waited for so long and didn't say that things were good, it seems that he has to go over and see for himself.

"Well, I'll take a look."

"Metropolitan Governor, now that the fishing city is facing the attack of Western Xia soldiers and horses, although we can't help much, but the people of the fishing village want to do their part, and the industrial projects of the Youzhou forces can be arranged for the people of the fishing village to take care of, I don't know if the Metropolitan Governor can agree."

Zheng Derong has a lot of influence in the fishing village, how could he not know about the king of Western Xia, and the battle has already begun, which is known to everyone.

Zheng Derong's idea is very practical, this kind of thing of caring for the industry does not necessarily have to use pioneers, as long as there are many people, they can be guarded, and in order to further improve the relationship, the Zheng family must come forward.

Li De really makes some sense when he thinks about it, but after the remaining 50,000 people are really deployed, the guards are insufficient, and there are really no local people to rob him.

You must know that the small things that have not been broken since the beginning of the stationing of Hebida, it is not surprising that some people take risks in order to get more benefits, and he hesitates with the fact that the people can defend the bandits who want to plunder the Xijiang River.

"It's okay, let's mobilize the young people in the fishing city."

Li De still agreed, although the fields and rubber plantations all need people, but compared to these Western Xia soldiers and horses, it is the biggest threat now, he wants to solve this matter as soon as possible, and it will be too late for the second batch of lower belly capable soldiers to arrive.

Li De immediately asked Pei Qingxuan and Zhang Chuchen to handle this matter.

The vanguard guards of the industry were not all dispatched, but 30,000 people were dispatched again, this time Li De and Pei Qingxuan personally led the troops to support.

The soldiers and horses led by Situ En and Wei Xun had been fighting, and the situation began to improve when Yang Yu'er appeared with support.

The pressure brought to them by the Western Xia soldiers when they saw that they were coming again for support, and to their surprise, it was the female general who led the troops in the vanguard.

The woman leading the soldiers simply subverted their impression, the vanguard once had this news, and the shock of seeing it with their own eyes was even greater.

"Your Majesty, they have support again, and it is a little difficult to win by consuming their physical strength."

"Keep fighting, take turns to rest."

Han Meng could only continue at this time, and there was no reason for the battle to stop at this time.

He was concerned about the vanguard's armor and horses.

Yang Yu'er immediately joined the battle after bringing the supporting soldiers and horses, and with the support, Situ En and the others also got rest, but the advantage of the supporting soldiers and horses was not obvious, and the number of people did not allow the Western Xia King to change his offensive intentions.

In the evening, the 30,000 vanguard led by Li De arrived, and it was already dusk, and the day's fighting stopped in time when they arrived.

"With the support of the Metropolitan Governor's soldiers and horses, tomorrow's soldiers will be able to compete with the Western Xia soldiers."

Situ En was still very cautious, 300,000 soldiers were numerous, and although they were cavalry, the advantage they would have gained in such a battle.

The biggest damage is the charge of the horses when the two sides start a battle, but at the same time they will be caught in a trap fight.

Today, Yang Yuer arrived in time to resolve the crisis, and Li De rushed to resolve the siege again in the evening, I don't know what the next battle will be.

Li De is not worried about the 15,000 people taken by Luo Song now, they already have 110,000 soldiers and horses on their side.

With excellent armor, they can have the power to fight.

The method adopted by Li De was not a direct decisive battle, and the reason why Situ En and Wei Xun chose to fight to the end was that they didn't want to let the Western Xia soldiers go further.

Now that most of the troops have been pulled out, they just need to drag it first, don't forget that there is also Luo Song's mission.

With Li De joining the battle on the second day, before the battle began, the vanguard took the lead in taking a defensive posture, and more than 100,000 cavalry gathered together to take the initiative to attack also needed to be considered.

Han Meng thought that the vanguard should be ready to retreat at any time, and he also knew that the cavalry charge caused the greatest damage, and he did not rush to war when he saw such a situation.

They were given such time to make good use of it, so Han Meng asked people to start making horse rejection stakes.

This is the simplest and most effective tool to deal with cavalry, and some wood can be done, and then under the gaze of the vanguard, the other party will make it, without the slightest intention of stopping it.

Han Meng looked at the vanguard indifferent, and felt a little weak in his heart, because the contrast between the atmosphere and the style of the vanguard was too great, which was really weird.

Li De just wanted to make the enemy suspicious, anyway, the purpose was to delay time and not start a war for the time being, which was exactly what achieved their goal.

The first day of Li De's support passed like this, and although Han Meng didn't know what the vanguard was going to do, he had a large number of horse rejection stakes and some confidence in his heart.

Han Meng's confidence was these things, and the soldiers' thoughts also changed, from thinking about offense to defense.

The next day, the vanguard still didn't look like a fight, and Han Meng still wondered if it was the vanguard who wanted to take the opportunity to launch a decisive battle, and felt that the rejection of the horse pile was not enough for people to make all the time.

In this way, on the third day, Han Meng couldn't wait any longer, so he sent people to take the initiative to attack, Li Defang was responded to by Situ En and others, and the troops invested by both sides were not too much, and it was still the vanguard that gained the advantage.

Han Meng didn't invest more troops, and he really didn't want to invest more troops when he didn't understand what the vanguard was trying to do.

After a few days of fighting, the number of Western Xia soldiers suffered a lot of losses, not to mention that there were many sick soldiers who were also ruthless in order to prevent more people from being involved.

On the fourth day, Han Meng really couldn't wait, and at this time, it was obvious that the vanguard was deliberately delaying time.

No matter how many horses are staked, what is the use of the vanguard not attacking them, they will not be able to defend at all.

"Order the entire army of Western Xia soldiers to attack."

Han Meng couldn't wait any longer, and as a result, when the horn of the charge was blown, the vanguard retreated and should have pursued with victory, but the stupid thing of letting the infantry chase the cavalry could not be done.

What to do if it is the enemy who deliberately lures the enemy.

After Han Meng sent people to test the pursuit, the vanguard decisively turned around and counterattacked, and the Western Xia soldiers immediately retreated quickly according to the instructions.

Just when Han Meng was wondering, Western Xia City also ushered in its enemies.

Luo Song commanded the troops and horses very steadily, knowing that there could not be many Western Xia soldiers in the Western Xia City, but out of caution to prevent the local people from using force, he asked people to go over to convey the purpose of this war before starting the war.

It is no secret that the things of the King of Western Xia have long been in trouble, and there is really no way to easily make people give up attacking the Western Xia City by pursuing the Grand Governor of Youzhou.
