Chapter 17: A Great Victory
The onslaught of the Western Xia army on Dashun City was like a storm from the very beginning, and it attacked for more than an hour, but it still did not see the slightest weakening, but stronger than one wave.
The Song army at the head of the city used bows and arrows, eight-ox crossbows, fire oil, rolling wood and other sharp weapons to defend the city, and never stopped killing the enemy.
At a certain moment, the east city gate suddenly opened from the inside, and five thousand Song horsemen held high the battle flag, like a flood that opened the gate and rushed out of the city gate hole, killing the western thieves who were attacking the city outside the city.
The direction of his counterattack was set outside the east gate of Dashun City!
As the cavalry rushed out of the city, the morale of the Song army at the head of the city suddenly soared, brandishing their swords and killing the Western Xia soldiers who climbed up to the city.
But to the surprise of the commander who stood at the head of the city, the Western Xia army outside the eastern city was not defeated, and there was no expectation that Yan Da led the cavalry to chase and kill the Western thieves who were besieging the city.
And immediately afterward, he heard the sound of war drums and trumpets from the east, which was the horn of the Western Thief cavalry charging, and then he saw about 20,000 Western Thief Cavalry, from four directions to surround and kill the 5,000 Song cavalry out of the city.
"Damn, the western thief knew my plan and prepared in the east in advance." Chong Ge's face was pale, he didn't think that the thief would be able to guess his plan, obviously his combat deployment was leaked.
In the case of a great demoralization of the Western Xia army at the head of the city, Chong Ge sent out five thousand elite cavalry who had been recuperating for a long time, just to make a surprise counterattack when the Western Xia army was most exhausted and morale began to fall, but the other party was prepared, and the five thousand elite cavalry he painstakingly retained not only failed to defeat the Western thieves who were besieging the city, but instead let the five thousand elite cavalry fall outside, and it is estimated that they will not come back.
Liang Yi buried himself on the erected watchtower, staring intently at the battle situation in the east, as long as he could destroy the five thousand elites of the Song Kingdom, the troops in Dashun City would be reduced by a small half, not to mention, it would inevitably have a great impact on the morale of the Song army, and it was not impossible to break through Dashun City within two days.
However, it was at this time that the mutation protruded.
"It can't be!" Liang Yibury witnessed the sudden change in the camp behind them, and couldn't help but change his face greatly, and something happened in his field of vision that he didn't expect at all,
The original battle flags of the eastern battalion of the Western Xia army suddenly fell and were replaced by hundreds of Song army battle flags.
In Liang Yi's field of vision, there were at least five or six thousand cavalry galloping and killing people in the western camp, and behind the woods in the east not far away, the military flag was flashing, the dust was flying, and it was clear that there was an army of tens of thousands of people galloping towards here!
"Song reinforcements?"
"Where's the reinforcements?"
"Why didn't I get any news beforehand?"
Liang Yizhu didn't think of Liu Changzuo's 3,000 cavalry sent to the Meridian Road by Chong Ge, but it was only 3,000 people, and what he saw with his own eyes now was at least 5,000, obviously this was not Liu Changzuo's 3,000 people, but the new reinforcements, the reinforcements they didn't know in advance.
And the Song State is the most indispensable is the army, Dashun City is located between the two roads of Yanyan and Huanqing, and it is normal to come to reinforcements, but in order to contain the army of Yanyan and Huanqing, they sent two other divisions to Yanyan and Huanqing.
"Now it seems that the other two partial divisions have failed, and the Song people have long known that our main force is in the direction of Dashun City, so they sent reinforcements in advance."
"Also, our meticulous work can find out the operational deployment map of Dashun City, and it is not impossible for the Song people to find out where our main force is in advance."
Liang Yi buried his thoughts, suspecting that he had been tricked, but he had not yet made up his mind whether to retreat first for a while.
At the head of the city, Chong Ge also saw the reinforcements that suddenly attacked the camp behind the Western Thieves, and he was also full of doubts, but this did not affect him to make the most correct decision at this time.
"Reinforcements have arrived, go out of the city with Ben Shuai, and kill all the thieves." The Seed gave the order loudly, and soon his order spread throughout the army.
"Reinforcements have arrived, go out of the city and kill all the thieves." The Song army in the city erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and the sound of drums and horns was loud.
On the top of the watchtower, Liang Yifu listened to the cheers of the Song army in the city, and watched the seed in the city mobilize the army to rush towards the city gate, and no longer doubted his previous inference.
Not daring to hesitate any longer, Liang Yi ordered in a deep voice: "Order, all armies immediately spread north!" Toshio Minono led his men and horses to break off. Before the tribes scatter their armies, burn all the equipment, grain and grass as much as possible, and march in formation, and those who dare to disturb themselves will be beheaded! ”

Zhang Bin knew the battle plan of the plant, knew that Yan Da would lead five thousand elite cavalry out of the city from the east at the most tense moment of attack and defense, and also knew that the battle plan of the seed was leaked by himself, and the Xixia people must have prepared for this plan, so he chose the time of the sneak attack at this time.
Because only at this time, the army left in the Western Xia camp was the least, and there were Yan Da's 5,000 elite cavalry, plus their 6,000 cavalry, even if they could not frighten the Western Xia people to withdraw, they could contain each other Many Western thieves, or retreat or take the opportunity to return to the city.
Therefore, when Zhang Bin waited for the Xixia camp to almost pour out, he sent 2,000 elite light cavalry straight in, seized the Xiying village of the Western thief camp, planted the military flag of the Great Song Dynasty, and led 2,000 people to scatter and gallop, making the illusion of charging the Western thief camp in a large area, and at the same time leaving 2,000 people in the woods behind to set up suspicious soldiers, giving all the Western thieves a feeling that there were a lot of Song reinforcements in their field of vision, which made the Western Xia army think that they had been ambushed, and the army was in turmoil in an instant.
And Chong Ge showed the decisive side of an old and spicy general, leading the remaining more than 10,000 defenders in the city to kill out of the city at the first time, which made Liang Yibury no longer doubt and withdraw his troops in a hurry.
Outside the city, Liu Changzuo led 3,000 Song soldiers and 3,000 Heiluo cavalry and Yanda 5,000 elite cavalry to join forces and pursue, followed by more than 10,000 main forces led by Chong Ge.
In the midst of chasing and retreating, it was even more difficult for the Western Xia people to figure out how many Song troops were chasing after them, and they were chased and killed all the way for more than ten miles.
Half a day later, the Song army killed more than 10,000 people of the Western Xia army and returned with a great victory.
Liang Yi buried the north and retreated to the White Leopard City, and after analyzing the information sent back by the spies sent out later, he found that he had fallen into the plan of the suspicious army, and was defeated by the enemy in a daze, not to mention, and lost the army, and was extremely angry, and wanted to re-send the army immediately, but all the grain and grass were lost, and it would take some time to re-raise.

"Ziyu is simply Zhuge Wuhou alive, such a clever plan is breathtaking, he actually let the Western Thief withdraw his troops in a hurry, and I waited for the Western Thief to chase the ass and kill more than 10,000 people, which is really happy."
After returning to Dashun City, Zhang Bin, Liu Changzuo, and Wang Sunchen immediately reported to the still confused Chong Ge about the actions and sneak attacks of the Heiluo Ministry, and specifically discussed the reward for meritorious deeds.
Liu Changzuo's words to Zhang Bin were full of gratitude, he dreamed of making great contributions, this time his dream finally came true, this time at least one level higher, it is not impossible to be knighted, and all this is thanks to Zhang Bin.
"The commander is polite, although the humble post is a plan, but if it is not for the commander of the army, the sneak attack is powerful, and the pursuit is swift in the end, the captain leads the whole army to go out of the city to pursue decisively, and the effect is still a matter ......of two words, so the humble position really does not dare to take credit."
"Hahaha...... Ziyu has won the award, haha......" Zhang Bin's words made Liu Changzuo feel very comfortable to listen to, he was a person who was happy, and he couldn't help laughing.
After saying Liu Changzuo, Zhang Bin pulled Wang Sunchen, who was also grinning next to him, over, and said: "If it weren't for Wang Dutou and his people to shoot all the spies in the east of the western thieves in advance, so that they don't know our reality and reality, our plan will definitely be difficult to succeed, so Wang Dutou also has great contributions." ”
Liu Changzuo stopped laughing, glanced at Wang Sunchen, and knew that this little capital had made three great achievements, and if there was no accident, this time he would be promoted at least two levels, and he would directly skip the battalion commander and become a middle-level military attache in one fell swoop.
Although Wang Sunchen was overjoyed, he was a smart man, knowing that Liu Changzuo was jealous, he hurriedly restrained his joy and bowed to Liu Changzuo and said: "Congratulations to the ruler, in the future, the humble position will depend on the support of the ruler." ”
"Hahaha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say." Liu Changzuo laughed and politely returned the salute, he thought that he was likely to succeed Chong Ge in the next step and guard Dashun City, but brave and resourceful subordinates like Wang Sunchen were what he needed most.
After laughing, Liu Changzuo looked solemn and said to Zhang Bin: "Ziyu's achievements in the Heiluo Department and this sneak attack have accumulated a lot, and he is a civil official with a meritorious reputation, it is estimated that Han Xianggong has no right to decide on the reward, and it is likely that it will be judged by His Majesty, and with His Majesty's character, Ziyu is a great Confucian, most of them will meet Ziyu in person." ”
Liu Changzuo said that Zhang Bin couldn't have thought of it, and hurriedly hugged his fists modestly and said: "I hope that I can have the opportunity to meet Tianyan this time." ”
