Chapter 519: The Arrival of the Great Song Reinforcements (Second Update)
Chapter 519
"Therefore, I hope that you can rest well for a day or two before setting off north, with cavalry, to deal with those Western Xia miscellaneous soldiers and auxiliaries who also lack cavalry, I believe you should be able to deal with it calmly."
Hearing this, a group of generals couldn't help but change their color, and their hearts were like a group of dogs collectively biting them, lying in one groove after another, and the love was not over.
"Wang Jian Jun, do you want our two thousand and five hundred cavalry to deal with the other party's tens of thousands of horses?" A general stood up with a pained face and spoke.
Zhe Keshi's brows furrowed deeply. "Wang Jianjun, what do you mean, Zhe Mou understands, you mean to let our Great Song Jingqi harass those Western Xia miscellaneous soldiers as much as possible, making it difficult for them to gather into a group, and let them either stay in place and wait for reinforcements, if there is a chance, they can also annihilate one or two Western Xia troops besieging the walled city......"
Wang Yang stretched out his thumb towards Zhi Keshi and said: "Those who know me, General Zhe, Wang does have such a plan, but I don't know what you think, General Zhe?" ”
"We now have more than 2,500 horsemen, and we have captured more than 600 war horses, so it is no problem to get together and pull out a cavalry of 3,000 people." Zhe Keshi stroked the fluffy chin, narrowed his eyes and said.
"And although Empress Xiaoliang left at least three times as many soldiers and horses between the forts and forts, although they were able to have an advantage in terms of troops, the defenders of the forts and forts of the Great Song Dynasty could only be trapped in the forts."
"If our elite cavalry is on the side, it can indeed make those Western Xia soldiers and horses sit still, and if they want to go south to aid Xiaoliang, they will be flanked back and forth, so we have to think carefully about whether they can withstand the surprise attack of our Great Song elite cavalry on the march."
"Yes, maybe we can still cooperate with some of the defenders of the walled fort, and fight hard, defeat and disperse one or two Western Xia soldiers and horses, in that way, they will be frightened if they are afraid of self-preservation, even if they still have the heart to go south to cooperate with the outside and the outside?"
After a group of generals discussed for a long time, they felt more and more that this plan was feasible, after all, the elite of Western Xia were now concentrated under the city of Huanzhou.
And their three thousand elite horsemen are not enterprising, but they can still make the Western Xia troops scattered in the walled forts around Huanzhou panic, and maybe even be able to get a lot of votes.
However, after discussing with the generals, it was finally decided that the Huang general, who led the army to help, should bear this heavy responsibility, and he did not ask this cavalry to annihilate many Western Xia soldiers and horses, but only needed them to continue to harass those Western Xia troops, so that they could only stay in place and not move an inch.
And Zhe Keshi will stay and preside over the defense of this wall. That General Huang didn't expect that Zhi Keshi would hand over this arduous but absolutely meritorious task to his command.
"The general can rest assured, the last general will definitely not live up to the high expectations of the general, and will not live up to the high hopes of the two prison lords." General Huang was so excited that he looked embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to lead the army to do things outside the forts in the north now.
Wang Yang patted the iron armor on General Huang's body. "Since it has been assigned, then I also ask General Huang to go back to the camp first and have a good rest, and then set off tomorrow afternoon."
After seeing the gang leave, Wang Yang smiled with relief, but at this time, he saw Zhi Keshi standing in front of the map, his thick eyebrows locked, looking at the somewhat abstract map.
"General Zhe, could it be our plan, what else is wrong and missing?" Wang Yang stepped forward and asked. Marchand, who was not familiar with military affairs, also approached the map with a curious face.
"Two adults, although we have blocked this main road, if the Western Xia army really can't attack it, it will definitely find another way, and here ......" Zhi Keshi looked at the map, his fingers lightly swiped on it, and then landed on one of them.
"This is a mountain road behind Maling, before, General Huang and they bypassed Maling through this mountain road, appeared behind Wei Mingji, and joined our army inside and outside, killing Wei Mingji by surprise."
Hearing this, Wang Yang couldn't help but pat his head. "If it weren't for General Zhe's soberness, we would really have a big problem, and the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers and nearly 20,000 soldiers and civilians would be in danger."
"So what now?" When Marchand heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly. "If the Western Xia army goes to a partial division to go around this wall, then we will be really in danger."
"How wide is this trail?" Wang Yang's brows couldn't help but lock deeply, and he asked towards Zhi Keshi.
"The entrance to this mountain road is quite hidden, and the narrowest part is less than half the width here, the only good news is that the road is a bit rough and difficult to navigate, and besides, there are strange rocks there, so it is impossible for the main force of Western Xia to pass through there, but no one can predict that if they jump over the wall from that side......"
Wang Yang's brows couldn't help frowning, don't say it, if the Western Xia army is blocked in place, he will definitely find a way out, if that's the case, maybe he will be caught by those Western Xia army.
Wang Yang took a deep breath, and his eyes fell on the body of the folded Keshi. "Then this walled wall, just bother to break you."
"Wang Jianjun, why did you say this?"
"Wang will lead Qingzhuang and some villagers to rush over to build a defense line as soon as possible, and strive to block the whereabouts of those Xixia people, we have already built such a defense line here, we can't watch those Xixia thieves slip over from there and lose all their efforts."
"What's more, compared to commanding the marching battle, Wang is really not as good as the battle-hardened General Zhe, so it's better for Wang to go."
Zhi Keshi saw that Wang Yang insisted on going, and had to admit that Wang Yang's approach was the best choice now. After the two discussed for a long time, it was finally determined that Wang Yang would lead 500 yuan Youjia soldiers, 1,000 Xiangyong, 1,000 border troops and 2,000 people to the west of Maling.
In addition, those side vans naturally cannot be thrown under the already built wall, but will all be pushed over, and when the time comes, it will be helpful to build a defensive line there.
In the early morning of the second day, Wang Yang said goodbye to Zhe Keshi, and led the soldiers and horses and the people to the north, and similarly, the general Huang also led the three thousand elite horsemen to the north.
They all have different purposes but the same responsibility, one to harass the enemy, the other to block the path of the other.
And Wang Yang's side had just set off for the west side of Maling, stationed under Huanzhou City, and the Western Xia army, which was frantically attacking towards Huanzhou, received a heartbreaking news that at least 50,000 or 60,000 troops were coming from Gyeongju, and the advance of the army had crossed the city wall and was advancing towards Namaling Village step by step.
The first time Xiao Liang received the news, he was stunned for half a cup of tea before he came back to his senses. Liang Yikui's face next to him was so blue that he was afraid of people, and he was walking in the tent with his hands on his back.
"Fifty or sixty thousand troops, are you really sure there are so many?" A general of the Nori clan shouted at the leader of the scouts.
"General, how dare the little one use this to deceive the mother, the little one has seen it in person, most of those soldiers and horses are wearing armor, and they are definitely not the kind of villagers or young people who are put together to make up for it."
"It's because I want to find out whether this army really has the strength and the generals. Of the ten small men, only I ...... with two brothers," replied the leader of the scouts, with tears in his eyes.
"The surname Sue...... Why has the mourning family never heard of it, when did this Su Dongpo know how to march and fight? ”
"Niangniang, that Su Dongpo's side, but there is still a kind of master and the folded family......" The leader of the scout cavalry cautiously raised his head and replied.
"It's the old dog of the broken family again, and there is a dog thief of the family......" Xiao Lianghou's heart couldn't help but mention, and many Western Xia generals in the camp couldn't help but take a breath.
