Chapter 827: The Song Army's Cavalry? Hehe...... (1st Update)
Chapter 827
Two hundred elite cavalry, just a charge, directly destroyed the will to resist of these foot soldiers, looking at the dozens of corpses scattered on the spot, as well as the remnants of the scattered fleeing soldiers, the battalion commander who personally led the charge was still unable to restrain the horse's head.
"That's it, withdraw the troops, such an old and weak remnant, it seems that there is really no one in Western Xia."
Luo Ping stood on the top of the mountain beam, watching the large iron cavalry destroy the will to fight of the two hundred foot soldiers with a neat charge, scattering like a swarm of headless flies, and a feeling of the same as that of the battalion commander rose in his heart.
After defeating this old and weak soldier, Luo Ping did not immediately lead the team to leave, but ordered a hundred cavalry to carry hundreds of gunpowder bullets and go straight into the forbidden area of the imperial tomb.
Of course, they did not go to contribute to the construction of the Western Xia Emperor's Mausoleum, but to sabotage.
Nearly two quarters of an hour passed, and the young cousin who came to find him, Ming Ah Yong, finally saw his little cousin Ah Yong, who was originally pale and panting, finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still galloped straight into the team, and then turned back in horror and looked towards the way he came.
"Cousin, what's wrong with you, why are there only three of you left, and what about the others?" Ayong rode his horse to his cousin's side and asked.
"Song cavalry, the cavalry of the Song people, there are at least hundreds of cavalry, I fought hard to take the two of them to break out of the encirclement, their goal is my imperial tomb in Great Xia." After pouring a small half of the water bladder, he wiped his mouth and said to his cousin, who was anxiously waiting for an answer.
"The cavalry of the Song army?!" Wei Ming Ah Yong's voice was pulled out of the sound of chickens, and he couldn't help but look at his cousin who was in good clothes and armor, but the mount was soaking wet.
"I said cousin, your joke is not funny at all, hundreds of Song cavalry appear here? Hehe, you don't even have the slightest scar on your body. Okay, don't joke with me, hurry up and call your people out and return to the camp, my father is still waiting for you. ”
"If I lie to you, my head will be snatched away by the prairie eagles." The anxious Ah Song shouted loudly. "There really are a large number of Song cavalry appearing."
"Since it is hundreds of cavalry of the Song army, you can break out of the encirclement, why don't they chase after you?" Ah Yong shouted impatiently.
For this cousin who often drinks and makes mistakes, he is really annoyed enough. "Needless to say, give the order, keep going, and cousin, you'd better gather your people and rush back to the camp now, otherwise, it will really make my father anxious, be careful of military law."
After saying that, he threw down Wei Ming Ah Song and his party and the three of them stayed in place, leading the two hundred foot soldiers under his command to continue to move forward.
"Ah Yong, you don't believe me, so good...... You go to die, don't blame my cousin, I didn't warn you. We hurried back to the camp to report to my uncle. Ah Song was so angry that he struck the horsewhip twice in the void, and then he turned his horse's head and continued to gallop south.
And the troops had already continued to march towards the north, and Wei Ming Ah Yong turned his head to look at Wei Ming Ah Song's group of three horsemen, and couldn't help but spit on Xingzi.
Still, there was a hint of doubt in his heart. "Puda, page and that, you two hurry up and head north, and if there is any warning, return immediately."
The two mounted guards received the order and immediately galloped towards the north, while Ayong led the large army to continue its slow march.
#####
On both sides of the banks of the Yellow River, which is more than three miles wide, there are battle flags, one side is the continuous white battle flag of the Western Xia, and the east bank of the Yellow River is full of red red flags of the Great Song Dynasty.
Wei Ming Ah Wu squinted his eyes, stood on the top of the tower, put his hand on the pergola, and tried to observe the Song army on the other side of the riverbank, the smoke and dust raised by the daily cavalry comings and goings, and the wrinkles on his face couldn't help but increase a little more.
This is definitely not something that a very small number of partial divisions can do, at least 15,000 to 20,000 horses, just across the river.
For the Song army with a large number of cavalry suddenly appeared in the hinterland of Xingqing Mansion, which made Wei Ming Ah Wu feel more and more that the burden on his shoulders was even heavier.
"My lord, do we want to cross the river and annihilate this group of Song people. It is a great disadvantage for us to continue to fight the other party like this, Your Majesty's envoys are there every day, and they have been urging us to destroy the invading enemy as soon as possible, but we are just ...... with the Song army like this" A general beside him suggested to Wei Ming Ah Wu.
Wei Ming Ah Wu glanced at the general lightly and shouted. "Do you think the old man doesn't want to take them? But don't forget, we only have a few men here, less than 30,000, and the Song army on the other side has at least nearly 20,000 divisions, and at least most of them are cavalry. If our army forcibly crosses the river, what do you think the odds are? ”
"The important thing is that the old man has this little bit of soldiers and horses in his hands, but His Majesty made it up with a lot of work, if there are any more losses, who can afford it?"
As soon as these words came out, the generals under his command were speechless. Yes, now the elite of Great Xia have either been killed in the previous battle with the Song State, or have been captured, or, they have gone south with Renduo Zongbao to attack Yanzhou.
The remaining soldiers and horses are almost on the verge of the red line, and this time, after hearing that the Song army appeared in the range of Xingqing Mansion, the lord of the country, Li Qianshun, and even the private guards of various ethnic groups have been taken out, so that an army of more than 30,000 soldiers and horses has been put together.
It's just that most of these 30,000 horses have never experienced a battle formation, and if the two armies face each other, they are not afraid of fighting with the courage and skill of the party members.
However, once you encounter a time when you need to pay attention to the art of war and strategy, those new recruits can easily have problems and be difficult to command.
This is the reason why although Wei Ming Ah Wu rushed to the bank of the Yellow River and confronted the Song army, there was no further action, not that he was unwilling to move, but that he could not move lightly.
Besides, there are not many boats on the river now, and there are at most two or three thousand people crossing the river each time.
If the river is crossed from other directions, if it is too close, once the Song army's scouts find out the crossing point, the outcome is not much different from the previous one.
If the place to cross the river is found too far, wait for the army to go around far enough, and then rush to the other side of the river after crossing the river, it will be a waste of at least three or five days.
Unless Wei Ming Ah Wu has the certainty of being able to cross the river in one fell swoop and annihilate the Song army in one fell swoop, otherwise, in addition to continuing to confront the Song army across the bank, he can only continue to open his mind and work hard to think about the strategy of breaking the enemy.
