Chapter 447: Ye Lituri
Yang Huairen simply said a few words, and there was no big reason in it, but he said that the hearts of these generals were gone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In their hearts, no one felt that they were inferior to the generals of the Western Xia Army, and they would not feel that the soldiers they brought out could only shrink into the shell of Wang Ba and pretend to be soft eggs.
Although there were no major wars between the Song and Xia in the past ten years, these people did not have much contact with the Western Xia army. Every year in the beginning of spring, the military division of Jingsai in the north of Huanzhou in Western Xia would gather three to five thousand military horses to provoke and provoke on the grassland outside Qinggang Gorge, which has formed a practice for many years.
The reason why the Tangut people were so bold was because they knew that the military discipline of the border army of the Great Song Dynasty was strict, even strict to the point of pedantic. An army commanded by a literati who does not understand military affairs is like a tiger in a cage in their eyes, and there is nothing to fear.
They also took advantage of this, put on a military uniform to be an army, and when they took off their military uniforms, they turned into horse thieves, raiding and robbing the villages in the border areas of the Great Song Dynasty.
Over time, Song Jun is even less worthy of mention in their eyes, when it comes to Song Jun, the first impression is weakness, and the second impression is weakness.
On the Song Army's side, the soldiers watched others arrogant under their noses, and they could only endure their anger in vain, not to mention how angry these generals were.
Most of them were born in martial arts, and when they took the martial arts examination, who didn't come with the simple dream of defending their families and defending the country and killing the enemy? But when they arrived at the border army, they found that their dream was ridiculous, and they were just a sharp blade, always wrapped in a scabbard, and it was about to rust.
The reality is a wall that they will never break, they have worked hard, they have been promoted, and they have brought more soldiers, but they still haven't really fought a big battle, and the anger they have been holding back for many years in their hearts is accumulating more and more, and they are about to explode.
Yang Huairen, they didn't care much about this person originally, just a marquis from the capital. But later, Liang Yitan was killed in Huanzhou, and the Western Xia army was drawn to the periphery of Huanzhou, and they realized that their opportunity to vent their anger had come.
They don't care about the truth of the matter, they just want to have a real battle, and they don't waste their youth in the northwest. In my heart, I am a little glad to have such a troublesome Hou Ye.
For Yang Huairen, they still have the necessary respect, but they don't expect him to be a marshal who leads the troops, he can say these words, he is stronger than Tong Guan of the prison army, and it is impossible to listen to the two of them when it comes to real wars.
Yang Huairen saw that what he said was recognized by most people, and found that these generals began to look at Yang Shihu beside him, and Yang Huairen understood that these generals knew in their hearts, and if they really wanted to mention strategy and tactics, they had to look at Yang Shihu.
Yang Huairen was very interested in asking General Yang Shihu to come out and talk about the specific countermeasures, Yang Shihu thanked Yang Huairen and Tong Guan, and no longer avoided the presence of the two chiefs, he stood up and put forward his views in a clear manner.
"The 20,000 horses that came out of the Jingsai Military Division of Western Xia this time should be the elite of the Jingsai Military Division, and the general headed by it, if my expectations are good, it should be the Yeli Tuli of the Yeli family."
Coconut pear? Yang Huairen snickered in his heart, since he came to the Great Song Dynasty, among the Hu people he knew, the names were as strange as a sow wearing a princess dress.
However, when he saw the serious expressions of the generals when they heard this name, he couldn't help but smile, frowning and waiting for Yang Shihu to continue.
It is normal for Yang Huairen not to know this Yelitu, but this name is very familiar to the ears of the Huanzhou border army.
This person is brutal, more than ten years ago in the battle of Yongle City in Song Xia, Ye Lituli is still a small general who only led 5,000 soldiers, but he is extremely brave, legend has it that in a battle, he won a big victory with 5,000 Xia troops against 10,000 Song troops.
What's even more chilling is that after Yelituri's victory, nearly 2,000 captured Song troops were brutally killed overnight, leaving not a single living mouth, and since then he has become notorious, and the Northwest Frontier Army will never have a chill down his spine when he mentions this name.
Yang Shihu paused for a moment, and saw that Yang Huairen was a little stunned, so he explained, "The Yeli family was originally not a prominent family among the party nobles, but later attached to the Liang family, and gradually emerged among the Western Xia nobles, becoming the fourth largest family in addition to the three major party nobles.
The Yeli family has more generals, and they hold important positions in all the armies of the Western Xia, and the official system of the Western Xia imitates our Great Song Dynasty, this Yeli Tuli is now the commander of the military capital of the Jingsai Military Division, and the 30,000 Xixia troops under his rule belong to the elite troops of the Western Xia, and this time there are 20,000 of them, and he must have personally led them. ”
Yang Huairen nodded to indicate that he understood. Not only did he know how terrible this wild litu was, but he also guessed why the military division reacted so quickly.
The Yeli family is dependent on the Liang family to gain a lofty position in Western Xia, and now Liang Yikui's son died in the Great Song Dynasty, he got the news, and he didn't have to wait for Liang Yikui to give an order in person, he took the initiative to lead the troops to kill him, and what he wanted was to ask for merit from Liang Yikui, the minister of power.
To say that Yang Huairen is not weak at all, it must be false, he has never met such a cruel person in his life. The two thousand captives said that they would kill him, and if he was really caught by Yelituri, it is estimated that if he was not broken into thousands of pieces, he would have to be dismantled.
Fortunately, he didn't see the fear on the faces of Yang Shihu and the generals, their eyes began to turn red, and their cheeks seemed to be clenched a few times, as if they were secretly swearing to slaughter this brutal Yeli Tuli with their own hands to sacrifice the souls of the two thousand Song army dead.
Yang Huairen also seemed to be infected by their resolute and angry gaze, and suddenly felt his heart beat faster, and it seemed that the war that was originally very distant was already close at hand.
Yang Shihu was very satisfied with the mood of the subordinate generals, and then arranged the responsibilities and tasks of the subordinate generals, although Yang Huairen and Tong Guan one sat in the main seat and the other sat in the first place, but they were all laymen in this regard, and they did not interrupt Yang Shihu, but just nodded in agreement with his arrangement.
Yang Huairen only felt that he really knew Yang Shihu today, although he was a rude general in terms of body shape and appearance, but from his sharp and wise eyes, it was easy to feel his kind of talent as a commander of the army.
Whether it is asking for help from Gyeongju behind Huanzhou, or informing the border states and counties to strengthen their vigilance, from the personnel arrangements and defensive tactics of each pass and village on the two paths into Huanzhou, to the overall planning of logistics support for grain and grass, he has arranged every drop of water, so that Yang Huairen has some admiration for this family from the bottom of his heart.
