Chapter 419: Fire and Water
In addition to the core members, the military quality of Weizhou Xiangyong is quite reliable, at least much more powerful than the various armies of the Great Song Dynasty.
The command, section level, even, army, and scout team are all elected by the township warriors themselves, and each person is also equipped with a task force member who is responsible for interpreting military orders and supervising the implementation.
The members of the task force go deep into the fields on weekdays to help the townships of Weizhou get a bumper harvest, and are also responsible for guiding production, publicizing policies, rural retail, treating diseases, taking care of the elderly and weak, and collecting and dispatching materials.
Weizhou has not experienced such a meticulous management method for thousands of years, and after the sacking last year, the powerful landlords were swept up by the Tanguts, and the dead fled to death, and the work team, as the representative of Xiao Su Tanhua, naturally replaced the position of the squire.
They are all enthusiastic and sensible hot-blooded teenagers, who have not only become the backbone of the villagers, but also become the pets of the villagers.
Enthusiastically promoting efficiency, Li Ruoyu rode on the newly changed horse: "Who said that my Great Song Dynasty military is sluggish?" The hearts of the people are thirsty, and the hearts of the army are thirsty for war......"
"You're thinking too much about the Overseer, aren't you?" Ah Ho Yuanzhen poured a scoop of cold water on it: "Try another official?" See if the folks still go to save it? ”
Li Ruoyu: "......"
Passing through the countryside, the members of the team who arrived early had already organized the supplies and were waiting on the side of the road.
The baggage detachment remained in the rear, organized the transport, and the rest moved on.
Feng Lizheng kept arching his hand: "Sons, you must save Xiao Su Tanhua...... That's my blessing in Weizhou...... Can't you let the summer dog give disaster...... Take two more eggs, and braised beef! Only after eating can you have the strength to do it with the summer dogs! ”
This strange team composed of scholars, farmers, industrialists, merchants, Tibetans, and Yi marched very fast, and it was easy to travel 60 miles a day, and it only took one day to enter Longguan.
The Longguan guards will be a kind of subordinate of the guards, and they are frightened when they see this new force, there is no military report!
Ah Ho Yuanzhen stepped forward: "Weizhou is brave, go out to the rescue of Hoard, please guard the switch and release it!" ”
The guard feels that the thief is unreliable, but once the fuse is checked, everything is true!
Even the latest style of the prison army is in it, high-end!
Hurry up and let go.
……
Hoarding the village, the corpses outside the village are piling up like a mountain, and the Xixia people are still attacking selflessly.
The crossbow arrows and stone bullets in the stockade seem to be endless, in Guo Long's words, if you dare to fill it with your life, Lao Tzu will dare to accept it!
The Tangut people had already realized that something was wrong, and they had all been deceived by this despicable and treacherous Su Tanhua.
Everything before, the deals, the feints, the gradual retreat, the rough pine walls, the lack of water, the cowardice of the manager, the lack of courage in the country...... It's all fake, it's all deception, it's just to deceive the Xixia people to attack and hoard Anzhai!
The seemingly weak persimmon turned out to be a solid iron core inside!
Today's Xixia people, still holding the last trace of luck, the giant engineering truck is about to be completed, forgive Zuo or not, what earth city wall can withstand the smashing of thirty catties of stone bullets!
Liang Yi buried himself in the tent: "Vulture, we don't have much time." ”
Liang Zuo put his fist between his eyebrows, closed his eyes and rubbed: "What? Running out of food? ”
Liang Yiduo was a little helpless: "Wushu, we have been attacking for three months. ”
Liang Zuo sighed and said: "If you don't take the hoarding village, this will be a loss...... Su Mingrun, underestimate him. Yi Duo buried, you said that Jingzong is here, what will he do? ”
Liang Yi buried it and said: "The siege of the city is not the director of my Xia army, if Jingzong is here...... Vultures, now that the backbone has not been lost, Jingzong may be defeated, attract the Song army from the stockade, and then use the cavalry army to annihilate it in the field! ”
At this time, two more people came in from outside the tent, one with red hair and green eyes, the other with brown hair and blue eyes, with a headscarf on their heads, knee-length gowns, and loose white trousers underneath.
The two of them bowed deeply to Lang Zuo, and one of them said, "Young and handsome King Khan, the great siege machine you want has been built, and it is ready to attack at any time. ”
Liang Zuo said: "Scholars from the West, I am amazed by your knowledge, Kuro, Elp, may I ask if your big trebuchet can defeat the Song people's stockade?" ”
Kuro bowed again: "The leader of the Song army, very great, the castle he built, as well as the trenches, make people think that Euclid's soul has come to the East. ”
Elp also said: "Whether it is in the air or on the ground, it is full of admirable geometric beauty. Unfortunately, however, the pine-made castle, no matter how mathematically sophisticated, could withstand the attacks of the trebuchets. ”
Liang Zuo said: "There are two scholars, you go down and rest." ”
After the two of them went down, Liang Zuo asked Liang Yiduo, "The tunnel is almost dug up, right?" Tomorrow we will attack. ”
……
Su You is instructing the cooks to cook mutton: "The mutton should be clean, cut small, and cooked badly." Most of the nutrients are in the soup, and then the soup and meat are separated. ”
"This ensures that the diet is nutritious, evenly distributed, and eats faster. A little more trouble for us, a little more convenient for the soldiers. By the way, the salt might as well be a little heavier, so that it won't be tired. ”
Seeing Chongyi coming, Su You asked, "How is the tunnel dug?" ”
Chongyi asked rhetorically: "Ours or theirs?" ”
Su You was not angry: "On both sides!" ”
Chong Yi said: "They have stopped working, and the listening team uses a large vat to listen to the movement, and it is estimated that it will be dug up tomorrow." ”
Su You said with a smile: "Okay, then let's get up early tomorrow, eat to our heart's content, and give the Xixia people a big gift!" ”
……
In the evening, Weizhou Xiangyong spent the night in a valley ten miles away from the battlefield.
The Loess Plateau ravines are vertical and horizontal, this place is found by a fellow villager when he was herding sheep, and there is only a thin beam from Hoardan Village, but it is very hidden.
It is strictly forbidden to use fire, so everyone eats dry food with cold water.
The scout came back: "Tell the general, the supervising army, Xia Gou is behind Liang Zi, and his subordinates don't dare to get too close!" ”
Ah Homi said: "Got it, Yuanzhen, arrange a guard, by the way, pile firewood on the mountain beam, as soon as the sun comes out tomorrow, we will burn wolf smoke and tell Mingrun that we have arrived!" ”
The night was exceptionally quiet, and the three parties were afraid to make a little noise and light, and they were all in full swing.
In addition to being a heavy cavalry, the Iron Harrier can also be a heavy infantry envoy when he dismounts and changes his armor.
Because of their strong and fierce killing, they often play a ruthless role in attacking fortifications, and they are often the figures of them and Bubazi on the city that they ascend first.
With the cover of the top trenches, the losses of the Xixia people were much smaller, but the attack from the underground passage became an invisible refueling tactic, and the results did not make any progress.
Now that the time has come for good steel to be used on the blade, the big trebuchet is inflicted, and Lang Zuo decides to launch the last and most powerful blow against Ho Anzhai.
Even if he fails, he can escape safely, and the Xia army is never ashamed of retreating.
There were 3,000 Iron Harriers, divided into ten teams, and Kuma Langluo and Hosomu Qu were two of the team leaders, and now they and their subordinates were hiding in the stinking tunnels.
With them, there were also Bu Bazi, who was wading through mountains and rivers and sweeping like flying, and Liang Zuo pressed half of his elite on this attack.
Starlight shone through the cracks in the wood above his head, and Kuma straightened up, raising his nostrils as high as he could, breathing in the relatively fresh air.
Gradually, the sky turned from pitch black to deep blue, and the wind rose.
The wind came from the ground, it was very subtle and light, and it was difficult to blow even the fine hairs on the fox fur collar.
But in the blink of an eye, the small wind turned into a strong wind, and it came head-on along the passage, and with it came a strange volatile aura and a terrifying and desperate exclamation from the front of the passage!
Water! Lots and lots of water! In the blink of an eye, the trench became a canal, and it rose higher and higher.
Immediately after, the cool breeze turned into a hot wind, and the countless people rushing towards the exit were crowded back by more people, as if there was some more terrible monster than drowning in front of them.
In the blink of an eye, the wind turned into a blazing red fire, and in the crowded tunnel, a fiery dragon rushed straight over, turning the terrifying and struggling sergeant in front of him into a self-waving torch!
