Chapter 633: My Lord, You've Thrown All the Gunpowder Arrows Away...... (1st Update)
Chapter 633
Next to them, the faces of Renduo Zonghan and Mi Bao Deshou were also very ugly, drinking mutton soup silently, if it weren't for those damn Song people's air raids, they wouldn't have fought on an empty stomach.
And more importantly, the Song people actually ambushed the cavalry despicably, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of those cavalry, at least this wave of frontal toughness should be able to get rid of those Song people's long-range weapons.
But now, at such a great price, in exchange for continuing to watch the airdropped flames continue to rage in the city.
But apart from sending people to fight fires professionally, what else can they do, do they have to attack once? Sa Chen, who was sitting on the main seat, had his head wrapped in a white cloth at this moment, and he was muttering to himself there.
Since he became deaf after beating this thing, it seems that his emotions have become problematic, and at such a critical juncture, the main general is actually deaf, which is definitely the first time that Fei Ting Darong has encountered such a situation in the army for more than 30 years.
What should I do? Now there are 15,000 people who have gone out, and only more than 13,000 have returned, and there are still a lot of wounded, and this kind of loss is only the beginning.
If these 50,000 horses have been trapped in the ancient city of Wuyan, it will definitely be too tragic for the Western Xia, which has already lost more than 150,000 horses because of the battle with the Great Song Dynasty and the surrender of Liang Yiqi.
Although the soldiers and horses of Great Xia are known as 500,000 troops, in fact, the soldiers and horses that can really be mobilized are only in the early 200,000s, and the rest are mostly auxiliaries and miscellaneous soldiers.
In addition to the 50,000 soldiers and horses here, the only remaining are the last 50,000 garrisons and 10,000 elite captive troops currently guarding the area of Xingqing Mansion.
Thinking of the current dignified Great Xia Kingdom, the loss of troops will be to the point where it is almost difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Fei Tingda Rong's heart is extremely congested. These 50,000 horses really can't continue to lose......
Crackling, crackling...... Another explosion of gunpowder arrows sounded in the distance, and everyone's hearts wanted to find a steppe wolf to give a beating to calm their surging mood at the moment.
"If they continue to do evil like this, how can we do it?" One of the generals said with a gloomy face, his left hand still holding his right hand, which was obviously not quite right.
And there is a deep scar on the armor on the right arm, which is that Fang was on the way to retreat, and he was stabbed by the opponent's cavalry, fortunately, the armor is strong, otherwise, this arm is not only a bone crack, but directly gone.
"Let them speed up the construction of rafts, speed up the speed of crossing the river, and leave the war horses alone, human lives matter." Fei listened to what Da Rong said, thought about it, and motioned to the pro-soldier next to Sachen. "What are you doing in a daze, write out the results of our discussion, and hand it over to General Sa's eyes."
The soldier with the pen hurriedly agreed, quickly put the pen down on the paper, and quickly wrote down the conclusions of the previous discussion in the complex Tangut script.
Sa Chen looked at the handwriting of the soldier, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, although he joined the army, he had the heart of a cultural person, and he had been working hard to learn the Tangut script that was so complicated that it made people's scalps numb.
Otherwise, if you don't even know the words that you are deaf by the firecrackers of the Song Army, then you will lose the way to communicate with others, and that situation is like being imprisoned by everyone in a world where there is no sound and cannot communicate, which is terrible.
Fei listened to what the old general said, and Sa also felt that putting human life first, the war horses would stay in the ancient city of Wuyan first, and wait for the soldiers to withdraw almost before starting to withdraw the horses.
Of course, if the Song people attack in such a hurry, then they will stay in the mounts of the city...... Kill them all, and you can't leave them behind to fund the enemy. What do you think the generals? ”
Although he can't hear it, but Sachen's mouth can still speak, and decades of speaking experience at least allow him to maintain a very fluent way of language communication, but he can't hear what he says at all.
"General Sa's words are reasonable, but kill the mount...... The old man felt that there was no need for that, after all, the Song army was clearly mainly harassing, and they also knew that my Daxiatun was heavily armed in this city, and if they attacked, they would be looking for their own death.
Therefore, the old man suggested that the garrison and the 10,000 wounded soldiers should be evacuated first, and then the war horses should be transported across the river, and then the last 20,000 soldiers and horses should be withdrawn at the opportunity. ”
Ren Duozong Han nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, although the ancient city of Wuyan is not as strong as Hongzhou, it also has a thick and solid city wall, and the Song army does not have too many siege weapons in their hands, leaving 20,000 soldiers and horses, which is enough to hold the ancient city of Wuyan." ”
"Then speed up, if the surface of the Wuding River is frozen as a whole, when the time comes, even if we want to leave, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult." Fei Ting Darong nodded, tilted his head at the writing soldier, and motioned for him to continue.
Through such a difficult way of communication, the leaders of Western Xia finally discussed a more suitable plan. As for those sparks in the head......
"Hmm...... Let the brethren be aware of the fires, and try to avoid the center of the ancient city, which is supposed to be the most dangerous and vulnerable. Fei Tingda Rong didn't recruit either.
"How did they come back, and why didn't they continue to restock?" Wang Yang watched the spark fall into the ancient city of Wuyan again, and after a burst of explosions, he nodded contentedly. "Come ...... again"
"My lord, no." A general walked up to Wang Yang's side and whispered.
"What's missing?" Wang Yang turned his head and asked.
The general spread his hands helplessly. "It's just that the 20,000 gunpowder arrows have been used up......"
“…… So fast? Wang Yang raised his head and glanced at the still dark sky, and then at the ancient city of Wuyan, where there was still a flickering firelight, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"My lord, you threw out two hundred and fifty gunpowder arrows at one time, a total of 20,000, minus the part you used to test, and let you throw away the rest tonight." The general said with a distressed look dripping blood.
He also looked very good before, but after receiving the report from his subordinates, the whole person was suddenly not good, especially the fireworks are really good-looking, but it costs money, think about it, those who are transported this time must be careful when making them, and there will be gunpowder weapons that are dangerous to explode and injure their lives if they are not a little, but the Guangbei siege of the Great Song Dynasty has been used as a subordinate firearm kiln for nearly a year.
