Chapter 510: This Master Zhang Qizhang is so generous (first update)
Chapter 510
In the end, Zhi Keshi became the one who invited the guests with a gloomy face. And this game-like competition made those Western Xia scouts suffer a lot of losses, losing more than 20 people.
In a short period of time, they did not dare to get close to the range of the Great Song Dynasty's bow and crossbow, which also made the defenders feel a lot more relaxed.
In the mansion of Zhe Keshi, a vote of generals are eating and drinking, feasting, and although Wang Yang, a civilian official and supervising the army, is not very impressive, but he dares to take up arms and personally kill the Western Xia scouts on the wall, this courage alone is enough to make those border army generals give Wang Yang a thumbs up.
While eating, he talked about the Western Xia army outside the city, and there were 4,500 elites in Hongdezhai, but at the moment, they could only sit in the city, and everyone was very unwilling.
While eating and drinking, while instigating Zhi Keshi to send troops to fight, Zhi Keshi was actually very excited, seven or eight thousand old and weak soldiers in Western Xia were naturally not the opponents of these more than 4,000 armored tigers.
But the question is, what if you win? It didn't help the whole situation.
"After all, this time the Western Xia sent nearly 300,000 troops, even if we eat all the seven or eight thousand miscellaneous soldiers outside the village, as long as the main force of the Western Xia sends three thousand cavalry over, we can only honestly retract back into the village......" Speaking of this, Zhi Keshi was also very helpless.
When Wang Yang heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head thoughtfully, but it wasn't a matter to keep watching it like this. "Then I don't know how you plan to do it, General Zhi?"
"The Western Xia army is new, and the soldiers are sharp, so let's slow down and then see. What does Wang Jianjun think? After stroking the short beard under his chin, he said as he drained his glass of wine.
"It's okay, I've been working hard these days, so I just took this opportunity to recuperate for two days." Wang Yang saw that the old driver Zhi Keshi had been talking about him left and right, so he didn't bother to ask any more, and nodded with a smile.
Because the enemy is current, no one really dares to drink more, but after drinking a little wine, he swept away the delicious food, and then left.
"General, are we really just watching like that?" After the wine was dry and the dishes were exhausted and everyone dispersed, Wang Yang, who had deliberately stayed, took a sip of tea and asked Zhi Keshi beside him.
"It's not that Zhe is willing to stare at it like this, but now the enemy situation is unknown, and the situation in Huanzhou is not clear. But please rest assured, tonight, someone will drop the boat from the east wall and explore along the road to see what is going on in the north and south...... When the time comes, make plans again. ”
The big hand of the fold was always on the handle of the ring knife at his waist, and he flicked it gently. "With nearly 5,000 of us, it is absolutely impossible to just watch those Tangut people wreak havoc in my Great Song Dynasty and do nothing."
#####
"General, that stinky woman surnamed Liang is too much, right? What does it mean to throw a group of old, weak, sick and disabled miscellaneous soldiers to us to guard outside this Hongde Village, and she went to take all the elites to Huanzhou? ……”
"It's clear that you don't take the general in your eyes."
Over fifty years old, with gray hair, but a burly and energetic man, Wei Mingji took a sharp knife, cut off a piece of the roast lamb in front of him, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully, as if he had not heard the complaints of his subordinates around him.
"The elite of our Wei Ming clan, why should she be led by a person with a foreign surname, hmph, her aunt is like this, she is still like this, she doesn't take our Wei Ming clan in her eyes at all."
“…… General, why don't we just go back to Xiazhou? Why suffer her idleness here. ”
When Wei Mingji heard this, he couldn't be calm anymore, and stabbed the dagger in his hand on the roast sheep, and shouted with a gloomy face. "Enough!"
"The Queen Mother has her own idea of the Queen Mother, we just need to do it according to Yi's will, what do you do with so much?"
Seeing Wei Mingji's statement, even if there are many complaints from his subordinates, they can only hold back the dissatisfaction in their hearts for the time being.
Seeing that many of his subordinates were angrily looking for excuses to leave the big tent of the Chinese army, Wei Mingji still had the slightest appetite, and as if venting his anger, he directly overturned the roast sheep in front of him to the ground, and walked away in the tent with his hands.
As the backbone of the party and the imperial family, Wei Mingji has always been at odds with the Liang family, and he is very disgusted by the Liang family's actions of frequently waging wars without any scruples about the national strength of Western Xia.
repeatedly proposed that Xia and Song shake hands and make peace, so that Western Xia could get a chance to recuperate. But the problem is that the Liang clan is bent on grasping the authority of Western Xia, and does not consider the life or death of the people of Western Xia at all.
Even if there are quite a lot of people in the current party and royal family who oppose the dictatorship of the Liang family, but the problem is that it is useless, and now the military power is in the hands of the Liang family, and even his dignified imperial uncle, the general of Western Xia, has been reduced to the point that he does not even have the opportunity to lead the troops on the front line.
can only defend the back road for that Xiaoliang with a vote of old and weak soldiers, but the question is, what's the use of being aggrieved? Wei Mingji looked at the roast sheep that had fallen on the floor, and couldn't help but turn his head and shouted. "Are you blind? Carry it down, give the old man a new one, and bring two jars of wine. ”
Being trapped in a walled fort with a diameter of no more than Li Xu is indeed very uncomfortable, but Wang Yang has no choice, the Western Xia soldiers and horses are always harassing day and night, it seems that they want to make Hongdezhai uneasy.
In the early morning of the third day of the siege of Hongdezhai by the soldiers and horses of Western Xia, the outpost sent out by Zhe Keshi finally came back with the news.
Han Zhongyan, who was leading the army towards Yan'an Mansion, heard the news of the siege of Huanzhou and immediately turned westward, heading straight to Huaiwei Fort in the north of Gyeongju.
And Su Dongpo naturally did not sit back and watch Huanzhou be broken by the Western Xia army, after receiving the news, he did his best, ordered the division to be the general, and led the army to attack Maling Town.
And after Zhang Ji received the news that the Western Xia army had invaded and approached Huanzhou, instead of panicking, he calmly shrank his forces and let the 10,000 troops enter the city to defend it.
However, the 5,000 border army and the 5,000 forbidden army were transferred by Zhang Kai to leave Huanzhou and go west, and after arriving at Shichang Town, they bypassed Maling and headed north.
"The army will bypass Wulun Village and Suyuan Village, and rush to my Hongde Village, and our army will cooperate with the army to cooperate with the outside to deal with the seven or eight thousand rabble of Wei Mingji, and strive to wait for the Western Xia army that is stranded under the city of Huanzhou to retreat, and raid the other party in the Baimachuan area. Give them a hard time, let them lose their troops and lose their generals, and within three or five years, it will be difficult to have the idea of raising troops to invade my Song Realm......"
"This Master Zhang Qizhang is so generous...... That's 200,000 Western Xia troops. The corners of Ma Shang's father-in-law's eyes were standing, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and whisper.
