Section 229 Eastern Xia Fortifications

After capturing the Dongxia camp, or the Dongxia army was finally forced to abandon their camp, countless Jingkang soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Eastern Xia army had strong combat effectiveness and tight defense, the battle line was too long, and the number of troops was not as good as Jingkang, so they began to be forced to retreat, and the road to Yuyang in front of them had been flattened, and the emperor also went to the front line from Baishan Mountain, and he wanted to lead the army to pursue and break through Yuyang.

The emperor was dressed in armor and arrived in a chariot, and the Jingkang army all over the mountains and fields along the way sent out a tidal mountain call.

Is this already close to defeating the enemy?

Dozens of miles away.

The grass is declining.

The neatly prepared Eastern Xia army waited for the retreating and responding army, waiting for the opportunity to flash, showing incomparable solemnity, and there was excitement in the killing.

Flags flashed on a high ground.

Many people who are proficient in the flag language can understand that this is the meaning of "the army presses forward, and the supreme accompanies it", and they quickly reversed, and the emperor went out of the white to climb the mountain.

Dia Bird was reminded, stared at the top of the slope to interpret the flag, and said with an expression of disbelief on his face: "Pouring out of the nest, you don't have to besiege Bai Mountain?" ”

The marching generals and some important generals rushed to tell him the news, and Diao laughed: "What are you waiting for? Ordered them to be cut off, so that they could not return to Baishan, and now there was no need to besiege Baishanshan at all. Isolate them from the White Mountain, and you will be able to win a great victory. ”

With the order, the flag waved.

Countless swords were drawn out, showing a little glittering cold light, and they were in the same posture indicating that they were ready to attack. The next moment, the army slowly rolled, rolling layer by layer, wrapped in that cold light.

Forward, forward, the sound of the horse's hooves, though not as violent as thunder, is terrifyingly thick.

The emperor stood on the chariot, holding a clairvoyant mirror and looking around.

And countless armies clinged to a mountain and rushed along the edge of the grassland to the rear of Jingkang's army.

There are also some Jingkang's troops, vehicles, and military baggage scattered in the rear...... Seeing them, the army in front began to cheer up, galloping faster and faster, faster and faster, the high cold light swirling and flying overhead, they no longer suppressed their voices, and the hoarse shouts of killing were overwhelming.

Chariot drums and horns are lined up.

Forward, forward.

The cavalry suddenly stretched out their formation, like an overwhelming wave.

Many stunned Jingkang soldiers, some turned around and ran, and some had not yet reacted to what to do, but they had been overwhelmed by the boundless tide.

Behind the white mountain, there was a lot of smoke and dust, like a sudden sandstorm. When the emperor arrived at the front line, he was still looking around with a clairvoyant mirror, and then he wanted to gather the generals, make a little calculation, and then march, but Zhang Wang had not yet seen enough to react, and he could still see the retreating Dongxia army, and someone in the rear came on horseback like an arrow, and his voice was full of fear: "The Dongxia people went around the back." ”

The emperor on the chariot turned his face suddenly.

Among the few people on horseback, it turned out to be a not small general.

Before he reached the emperor's side, he had already rolled down, running and crawling, and the ghost cried wolf and shouted: "Your Majesty." The Tangut people have come around behind us. People are overwhelming. ”

Unmoved, the emperor stared at him and asked, "What about your army?" ”

Immediately, he roared violently: "You lost your army and ran, right? Cut me off ......"

The general was dragged up and shouted, "Your Majesty." The end will be to inform the front of the contingency. It's not like you lose your army and run. ”

The emperor asked people to put away the clairvoyant mirror, held the rails of the car with both hands, and said coldly: "The herald has its own herald, why do you need to come?" Then I asked you, 'What about your army?' ”

The general said dejectedly: "I'm afraid it's already broken." ”

The Emperor stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction, and shouted, "Drag it over, cut it down." ”

With a scream, someone brought the head to give the order.

The emperor said: "Where did the Dongxia army come from, what's the matter?" Just take advantage of the fact that he is no longer avoiding the battle, turn around and go back, and let me defeat them. ”

As soon as the emperor spoke, the banner soldiers and heralds began to gallop, and each general rushed to his own army, and many of the troops who were marching received the order and turned on the spot.

But what did the emperor inevitably feel?

What are the eyes of the people around you, are they afraid?

Xiong Xilai followed the emperor's side, standing tall with his sleeves raised, seemingly unaffected by anything.

The emperor asked him, "Are you surprised?" ”

Xiong Xilai said without concealment: "Accident." But now that I think about it, it is reasonable, the king of Dongxia must have wanted to make a partition between us and Baishan Mountain, once we were isolated from Baishan Mountain, we would soon have nothing to eat, and we would collapse without a fight. ”

The emperor smiled: "Can you cut it off?" ”

He pointed to all around, all the wilderness, and there was no danger or wall here.

Xiong Xilai understands what he means, it's a big deal, after a brutal war between the two sides, only one side is left, and this becomes a decisive battle, how can it be said that isolation is isolation? Is it to give him enough time to dig trenches and fortifications? This situation will only be beneficial to Jingkang, because the territory is large enough and the troops are easy to invest, and the Jingkang army still has an overwhelming advantage in numbers.

Xiong Xilai wanted to speak and stopped.

The emperor smiled: "I didn't expect you to also know the art of war, and I can see that he wants to separate the inside and outside." ”

Xiong Xilai hurriedly said: "Chen's family has been a general for generations, and Chen also studied the art of war when he was young, so he knows some. ”

The emperor asked him, "Why don't you follow the martial arts?" ”

Xiong Xilai hesitated slightly, and said softly: "Wengui and Wuli, my father had military exploits back then, and when the state officials were called, he stood in front of the civil officials according to his rank, and was scolded in court. ”

The sound of fighting on the battlefield was almost heard, attracting the attention of the two.

The red-clothed general was originally in the front, used to attack the camp, but now that the Eastern Xia army came out from behind, he was about to move back, and he passed by, moving slowly.

Xiong Xilai said worriedly: "Hold the camp first and transport the red-clothed generals up, otherwise, the ministers are afraid that the soldiers will not have the courage to fight the Dongxia people." ”

The Emperor turned his face abruptly, stared at him, and asked him, "What did you say?" ”

The emperor's face turned pale.

Xiong Xilai hurriedly pleaded guilty, and said: "Your Majesty must face up to this fact, our army may not lose to others, but its will is not as good as that of Thief Xia." ”

The Emperor hey.

Xiong Xi said: "Only the red-clothed generals can boost morale and fight the enemy." ”

The emperor was about to say something, and the battle report had already been delivered from the front.

As soon as the first battle was encountered, it was defeated.

The emperor's face changed greatly, and he roared, "Behead me." Behead them all. ”

Kill the generals or slaughter the defeated army?

In the end, the emperor restrained his feelings and said, "Write down your lives, let them quickly gather them and return to the rear." Tell the soldiers in the front line, let them hold on, and the red-clothed general will be able to deliver them from time to time. ”

Turning his head to look at Xiong Xilai, he admitted this fact, and muttered: "The will is not as good as the enemy, what can I do?" He turned his head sharply and asked Xiong Xilai, "Is it because they have shamans?" ”

In Changyue, many monks have said this, and they have asked for war.

Only by preaching the Dharma and affirming that soldiers can live forever and be reborn by killing enemies for the country, can they not be afraid of death. The emperor faintly regretted it, and said that you can't bring a monk to fight, but a monk can appease people's souls, so you should bring it.

Xiong Xilai emphasized: "There are shamans who are one, and they often fight......"

Speaking of this, Xiong Xilai hurriedly stopped talking, they often fight, and now that the empire is in chaos, wouldn't some of Jingkang's troops also survive a hundred battles?

If the training can't keep up, the emperor is angry at this time, and he overturns a boatload of generals with a rod, what will be the consequences?

He stopped.

The emperor took out the Buddha beads, and began to flip the beads with his fingers, and when he saw that he was still kneeling there to plead guilty, he collapsed with his hands, and said with a pleasant face: "Aiqing, please get up." ”

The red-clothed generals were towed, walking slowly and disappearing from sight, but with their travel speed, they could be transported to the battlefield even after dark.

What will be the situation on the battlefield now?

The army in the front of the Eastern Xia army in the easy defeat of the Jingkang soldiers and horses, began to retreat, behind them, by the comrades took the opportunity to lay a lot of piles, those curved lying frames fell to the ground to catch death, rammed into the soil, ash pole frame, it is the blade wall, and every battle, the archers do not count the arrows, the front of the rear formation is a crossbow, the back is a dense number of archers, some people in order to more effectively open the bow and shoot arrows, simply do not ride horses.

Several Jingkang army formations that rushed to the scene stopped two hundred paces away and looked at the one in front of them in shock.

The stakes and blade walls stretched out on both sides, and they didn't know where the end would be, only the gap for them to retreat, and the gap was being filled at this time, and the whole field was presumably not spared.

When the generals received the news and came to check before the battle, they saw many Dongxia soldiers digging trenches on wooden stakes and blade walls, and throwing out clumps of dirt with steel shovels raised in a chaotic manner.

This is the famous Dongxia fortification, which can be deployed so quickly.
