It was no longer possible to launch an offensive that day.

The next day, the Jingkang army arrived, the camp built by the Dongxia army has begun to take shape, but because of a day's delay, their "reinforcements" have arrived partially, Jingkang soldiers clearly saw the increase in the flag, this day's battle was not fierce, the pursuit to here, people are sleepy and tired, the time is not early, they just transported the red-clothed general to, a few hits, with the attack twice.

At night, the Eastern Xia army stole the camp.

The two sides began to fight in the second half of the night, and the sky was bright again, the Eastern Xia army withdrew its troops, and the Jingkang army also urgently needed to continue to rest and recuperate, and could not launch another attack as expected.

They had to transport food and military baggage from Baishan Mountain...... And the route of more than 100 miles is the wilderness, and the Dongxia cavalry harassed it badly, so Dong Wen asked the emperor to set up a company camp in this 100-mile house to avoid the Dongxia army from attacking from the wilderness and cutting off the supply of the Jingkang army.

During this period, it was difficult for the two sides to break out into fierce fighting.

The delay of the war allowed the Eastern Xia to gain time, and more and more "reinforcements" appeared, at first the Eastern Xia army was 30,000, and then it became 50,000...... This kind of increase is not put in Jingkang's eyes, tens of thousands of people more, it can't reverse the overall situation, and if Dongxia doesn't increase troops, that's not normal. However, there were more and more troops in Eastern Xia, and in the course of two or three days of this war, the army doubled impressively.

Jing Kang finally panicked a little.

Although they don't think that Dongxia can gather superior troops, this increase makes people feel bottomless, how much can it be increased? How fast is time?

The emperor's dissatisfaction with the generals was palpable.

Obviously, there were few people in the Dongxia before, you couldn't launch an attack, the march needed to be repaired for a while, and the night attack for a while, the soldiers couldn't rest, tired, and the grain road needed to be unblocked for a while, and they camped and held it repeatedly, oh my God, you dragged it around, and waited for the number of Dongxia people to be too much, don't you know? Don't fight yet. Do you have to wait until you're evenly matched? Are you all gentlemen who fight fairly?

He was furious, and finally made the Jingkang army brew a full-front appearance.

The red-clothed general repeatedly smoked green smoke, and under its cover, the attacks of one echelon per 10,000 people came and went...... People go like pills, and attack upwards.

Jingkang's side generally despised the ability of the Dongxia people to defend the city, but when they launched a large-scale attack, they knew that the Dongxia was difficult. With the city defense, the crossbow machine of Dongxia played more vividly, they did not lack arrows, whether heavy crossbow or light crossbow are bursts, plus they have many archers, as soon as the bow is opened, the mountains and fields can be filled with arrow clusters. When the two sides attacked and defended, Jing Kang could still feel the inconvenience of the use of the red-clothed general, they seemed to have made arrangements for the red-clothed general, once the red-clothed general's head was so high, he couldn't shoot far at all, and he could transport it forward, because it was rugged, and he could no longer be pulled by mules and horses, so he could only rely on manpower to push it up and slam it.

Even if sometimes the right place is chosen, the opposite earthen wall is also swept away, but people still can't attack it, the Eastern Xia army is extremely difficult, they can use special weapons to fill the gap, if the earthen wall can still climb, with a bell and other pointy and multi-kernel things on the gap, you want to climb over the gap, than climbing the wall. Their traps and bullets are always reasonable, but they can't be prevented. Guarding such a temporary earth defense, they did not have black oil, but they prepared butter mixed with dung, and burned it up at once, flashing blue fire and stinky smoke, and people not only felt that the smoke was wrapped in poison, but also stepped on it with their feet, and the soles of their shoes might be burned.

What's worse is that the cavalry of the Eastern Xia is hiding behind the earthen wall, but they have eyes, they will come up from the rear at the right time, slash and slash, stop the attack, and then go around again, to the rear where their fortress is covered...... In order to deal with it, Jianwei's cavalry also attacked everywhere, but compared with the Dongxia cavalry, they were neither as flexible nor sharp as others.

Relying on the large number of people, the Jingkang army drew troops from the barracks guarding the grain road, intending to bypass this section of the earthen wall, encircle the enemy, and fight a decisive battle with a large number of Dongxia cavalry covering behind the earthen wall, but their large army bypassed, but did not see the Dongxia horse team nested together, and the supply route was full of Dongxia cavalry, setting fire and attacking the village, and the supply would be interrupted immediately...... According to their consumption of hundreds of thousands of people, once the supply interruption is extended to one day, it will have fatal consequences, and it is obviously not appropriate to let the infantry gallop in two phases, and Dong Wen will mobilize Jianwei's cavalry again. With the help of the foundation laid by his father, he took over the cavalry very smoothly, and often gave an order, and his subordinates could execute it decisively, but this was not enough to defeat the cavalry of Eastern Xia.

It was dark to collect the troops and unblock the supply line again, Jianwei was already dusty, and his throat was smoky, he arrived in front of Dong Wen, got off the horse and said a word, simply looked up to the sky and went to the grass, and shouted: "Uncle Dong." What kind of battle is this, the Eastern Xia army is just a piece of rotten cowhide on the sole of a paste. ”

Dong Wen came to his side and wanted to say something, but he held back.

Different from Jianwei's simple perception, Dong Wen is a general after all, and there is a kind of Dongxia people who are unwilling to fight, and if they fight with all their might, the outcome is unpredictable.

It was this analysis of combat power that buried fear in his heart, and although he comforted Jianwei on the surface, he was depressed in his heart, and suddenly came to the conclusion that he was going to see the emperor. It can't be fought like it is now. ”

Speaking that he couldn't fight like this, Jianwei got up with a bone, he stood in front of Dong Wen, and said with a solemn suggestion: "It's better for me to sneak attack Yuyang in the opposite way, even if I can't take Yuyang, I will also use cavalry to cut off their supply lines." ”

Dong Wen was stunned.

Jianwei urged: "Is it okay?" Uncle? ”

Uncle is more than his aunt called.

Dong Wen didn't treat him as his nephew, especially this suggestion, it was very tempting, could it be fought like this? The Dongxia army has doubled, you can't attack the fortifications they built, even if you attack and break through, the main force of the people is still undamaged, a large number of Dongxia iron cavalry can advance or retreat, there must be certain means to break the situation, how to break the situation? Doing the opposite, just as they used cavalry to cut off their own supply lines, they went to their rear and attacked Yuyang, but in fact cut off their food routes.

As their armies grow, so does their dependence on supplies.

Dong Wen showed joy and asked, "You come." You come with me to the emperor and tell him what you think. ”

They're trying to break the situation, and so is Diao.

The intensity of the war took Dia Bird by surprise. In order to be able to fight with Jingkang, a fortification was built, in fact, this earthen wall is bringing unnecessary casualties to Dongxia, you need to stick to it, you can't take it well, you can't take it well, and if you can't take it, the casualties will be large.

And he couldn't accept this level of casualties. At the end of the day, more than 3,000 casualties were killed, which in his opinion, this kind of casualties were enough to support him, and he was not in the habit of counting the proportion of casualties between the enemy and me, although the soldiers would take it out and put it in front of him, he didn't even look at this, killed a thousand, and damaged himself 800, in his opinion, it was not worth it for himself. Throughout the night, he was reconsidering with his generals whether to abandon this fortification, how to reduce casualties, and how to reduce the fearless sacrifices of the soldiers.

The generals Zhao Guo and Chang Zilong did not think so.

In the past few days, Dongxia has killed and injured at least 20,000 Jingkang soldiers.

Jingkang doesn't have Dongxia's ambulance means, what else do you want? How can there be a war that does not die? With more than 3,000 casualties, you are distressed, why are you not distressed?

The generals persuaded him: "Although the deadline given by the king has not yet arrived, but now the march of all the departments has been marked, greatly exceeding expectations, insist on tomorrow day, maybe the day after tomorrow, our troops will be able to exceed 100,000, if we give up the camp that is currently fortified, whether the Jingkang people will pursue or retreat, we don't know, if they continue to attack, really advance to Yuyang City, the dead and wounded of the old and weak people?" ”

Excited, Zhao Guo clapped his legs and strived: "I think it's too much to reduce more than 3,000 people, isn't it the tears of women that people say?" What about Jingkang? The reduction of 20,000 or 30,000 troops has already had a terrible impact on their morale, and if we hold out for another day, our army will continue to increase, but their morale will weaken? ”

Dia Bird was about to go his own way, when the scout received the news and ran to report through Li Yisheng: "Great King. A cavalry team went east at night, apparently trying to sneak attack Yuyang. ”

Diao was stunned for a moment, asked about the estimated number of people, and learned that there were at least 20,000, and they were all cavalry, so he said angrily: "This Jingkang army has finally become smarter. The casualties of more than 3,000 soldiers made him smarter. It's easy to deal with smart people. He said, "Whose army is coming through Yuyang?" Someone immediately stepped forward, opened the record, and told: "Li Sihun's." Diao smiled dumbly, and immediately demanded: "Lonely's brother-in-law." ”

He added: "This is one of Lone's trump cards. Give him the order. Quickly catch the enemy's trails and launch a night attack on Lonely...... No matter how many enemies there are, 20,000, 30,000 or 50,000, he wants to take this army by surprise, and after dawn, he hopes that this army will not be able to harm Yuyang and leave the battlefield. He asked: "Can 80,000 men be gathered before dawn?" ”

Li Yisheng made a simple calculation and told: "Liang Dazhuang's army is coming, if it can arrive at dawn, it will be about 80,000." ”

Diao said: "Tomorrow while the enemy is attacking, concentrate all your forces on his supply line, and since their cavalry strength is reduced, see how they go back and forth, and take care of their own food routes." He also gave an order: "Order all the troops to speed up the march, and to arrive as soon as possible if the horses run to death and the men die of exhaustion." Lone wanted to block this Jingkang army on the field of Huibai Mountain, and only surrounded Bai Mountain. ”

Someone shouted, "Great King." More than 100,000 people. It's a bit difficult. ”

Dia Bird said, "What's the difficulty? Consume a tired, give up the camp to them, and then retreat, when the time comes, more than a hundred miles of wilderness, there are blocking the chasing soldiers behind, they have to fight step by step, front and back, can you still not stop it? If you block it for one day, you will lack food, and if you block it for two days, you can defeat it. In three days, the number of troops in our hands can exceed 100,000, and it is no problem to surround him and eat him. ”

He asked again: "Bring Qin He to Lonely." If you want to deal with Qin Li, let's prepare someone for him that he can buy, and earn Qin He some gifts for her brother's meeting. ”
