Chapter 508

Seeing that Xiao Liang led the Iron Harrier elite to leave, the army of Western Xia gradually moved away like a tide, and after half an hour, the army was exhausted, but there were also seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses left.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Wei Mingji." And Zhi Keshi squinted one eye, and after looking through the clairvoyant mirror with the other eye for a long time, his face was suddenly surprised.

Wang Yang narrowed his eyes and asked with some doubts. "Wei Mingji? This surname should not be the surname of the party royal family. ”

"Yes, this person is the royal family of the party, and he is the imperial uncle of the young emperor of the Western Xia, and this person is the general of the Western Xia, who has been in battle for a long time, because he has always been willing to make friends with my Great Song Dynasty in the Western Xia Kingdom, and because of this, he has not been treated well by the Queen of the Great Liang......"

With the introduction of the old driver, Wang Yang suddenly realized. "Then since you don't have the same heart, but that Xiaoliang Empress has to bring him out, shouldn't it be because she is worried that this Wei Mingji will cause chaos in the country?"

"But then again, this famous subordinate is like some old, weak, sick and disabled, it seems that the cavalry here is less than a thousand, and the rest are foot soldiers."

"These are all auxiliary soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers in Western Xia, and the population of Western Xia is not even comparable to my Great Song Dynasty, although it is known as 500,000 male divisions, but the real elite soldiers are only 100,000 people......"

"This time they mobilized nearly 300,000 troops, since they are besieging all the villages, they definitely don't want to waste their elite on besieging the walled city, and they should concentrate on Huanzhou City."

And set up camp in the three directions of Hongdezhai, the distance is in Lixu, so that even if the Song army wants to sneak attack, the other party can react at the first time, so as not to catch the Song army off guard.

In the open space between the outside of the village and the Western Xia army, there were more than a dozen Western Xia scout cavalry teams still wandering arrogantly.

Even from time to time, he gathered into a place of arrows, provocatively shot arrows at the wall, and then after the Song army in Hongde Village fought back, he rode his horse far away.

"This is the most common method used by the Tangut people, with a small group of rangers running around the walled city, provoking me with arrows, hurting my soldiers, if you are really provoked, there are fewer soldiers and horses, and it is easy to fall into the encirclement and suppression of those Tangut rangers. If there are more soldiers and horses, it is equivalent to my Song army taking the initiative to give up the geographical advantage and fight with the Western Xia army outside the city. ”

"So at this time, the best way is to shoot some scouts, which can not only boost morale, but also let those Western Xia scouts know how powerful."

After seeing this scene, Zhi Keshi explained to Wang Yang beside him. Then he raised his hand and beckoned to the side, and the pro-soldier who understood it immediately handed over a hard bow.

After trying the strings, his eyes fell on the scouts under the wall.

Wang Yang touched his chin and looked at those well-ridden Western Xia scouts with great interest. He looked at the stiff bow and walked slowly on the city wall.

At this time, there were three Western Xia scouts in front of them, flexibly controlling the mounts under them, galloping near the range of the Great Song Dynasty's bow and crossbow.

The guards of Hongdezhai were angry enough, but they also knew that such a moving target was not so easy to shoot. However, at this time, the Western Xia scout below suddenly made a sharp bend and quickly entered the wall.

Then the three scouts opened their bows and arrows almost at the same time, and saw the three arrows flying diagonally like lightning, and the two Song soldiers bowed their heads quickly and let go of the arrows.

However, one of the defenders was half a beat slower, and an arrow hit the helmet with a crisp sound, and his head was knocked back by the huge force.

Suddenly, the joking laughter of the Xixia scout was heard from below again, but it was only a short moment, and the laughter of the Xixia scout stopped abruptly.

A feather arrow directly sank into the head, that is, the neck of the scout who shot the helmet of the Song army, and the Western Xia scout trembled like electricity, and then his body was weak, and he fell directly to the ground, and then was dragged forward by the mount under him and continued to run wildly.

The other two Western Xia scouts were a little frightened, shooting back while hitting their horses and galloping out of range. And at this moment, another arrow came like thunder.

In the end, only one of the Western Xia scout cavalry escaped from the range. At this time, I heard the soldiers of the Song army on the side of the wall, all shouting in unison excitedly.

"This is our general, and only he has such a ability, and he has opened the bow twice in such a short time." The deputy general standing beside Wang Yang was also so excited that his face turned red at this moment.

This can suppress the enemy's arrogance, and the act of killing the enemy to demonstrate, is indeed very good at boosting the morale of the soldiers.

"I can't imagine that our general's archery skills are so powerful, and he is so accurate at moving targets...... Wang Yang couldn't help but high-five and sighed. At this time, there were several sycophants around Zhi Keshi who were violently touting Zhi Keshi's amazing archery skills.

Seeing Wang Yang thumbs up at him, Zhi Keshi said a few polite words very modestly. Although those Western Xia scouts suffered some setbacks, they did not flee far.

Instead, he continued to wander under the wall, but this time, he was much more cautious, even if he broke into the range and attacked the wall, he would never stop and leave.

"Will they always be like this?" Wang Yang smashed his mouth, raised his chin, and asked Zhi Keshi.

Zhi Keshi nodded, looking accustomed to authenticity. "Yes, they will harass them day and night, so that it will be difficult for the defenders to get a chance to rest. After all, no one knows when the Western Xia thieves will launch a large-scale attack, but as long as they grasp the rules, they will be fine......"

"But now there are not many Western Xia cavalry left, not to mention that those scout cavalry are also elite, at most two or three days, if they die a lot under the city, they will not dare to harass like this anymore."

"No wonder General Zhe wants to go into battle in person." Wang Yang nodded abruptly. "It seems that General Zhe is not used to seeing these Western Xia thief armies so arrogant and domineering."

"That's nature." Zhe Keshi took a deep breath and nodded heavily. "I can't let those Xixia Xiaoxiao be too arrogant."

Wang Yang saw those Western Xia scouts who were as annoying as flies, and couldn't help but point to the Western Xia military village road in the distance. "General Zhe, this Xiaoliang Empress also looks down on our Hongdezhai too much, right? Look...... The elite cavalry of the people didn't even stay, so they threw a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled guys, and a bunch of scouts harassed us so blatantly. ”
