Chapter 803: The Cavalry Is Not Used Now (Three Watches of the Second of the Three)
Chapter 803
"And although the troops and horses in these three states are frequently transferred, this is also normal, after all, it is after the new occupation, and this Wang Wushan is a very talented talent, he must also realize the key to the land of these three states, so he will attach so much importance to Youzhou and personally sit here."
"This Youzhou, it really made him repair it like an iron bucket, but just with just one Youzhou, does he really think that he can stick to it and wait for help?" Yelu and Lu Wei grimaced and sneered.
Xiao Wuna nodded thoughtfully, and then his eyes fell on the body of Quite Faithful and asked. "Quite a superhuman being, what news do you have from the Western Xia Lord's side?"
"Master Xiao, according to the news that came back, my Xia Guozhong Shu Ling Renduo Zongbao has personally led 100,000 troops southward, and the goal is directly aimed at Yanzhou, the westernmost part of the land of these three states."
"He's going to fetch Yanzhou? Fortunately, in this way, even if there is a large army on Shaanxi Road that wants reinforcements, you have to consider a distance and proximity first. Xiao Wuna was slightly stunned, and immediately understood Xixia's intentions.
However, now, the Liaoxia coalition army is strong, and even if the 100,000 soldiers and horses are squeezed over, it is not much use, and they go to attack Yanzhou, which is a good choice, and can also contain the reinforcements of the Song army for the main force of the Liaoxia army.
After the generals dispersed, Xiao Wuna, who had just slowly walked out of the Chinese army's tent, turned around and came back and spoke to Yelu and Lu Wei.
"Your Highness, the old man thinks that we should strengthen the offensive, no matter what, strive to capture Youzhou in the shortest possible time, this is not only for the morale of our army, but more importantly, those weapons that can throw stone projectiles weighing more than 100 catties dozens of zhang away, I Daliao, must be in my hands......"
Yelu and Lu Wei nodded in a deep voice and said in a deep voice. "Don't worry, my lord, your mind is also a lonely idea, such a weapon, the Song State has it, and I must have it in Da Liao, otherwise, once the balance between Liao and Song is lost, then ......"

"Retreat, these Xixia dogs seem to be really playful, but unfortunately, they are good at field warfare and not good at attacking cities, and they really can't be changed......" A general standing beside the Planter Dao took off his helmet, wiped the sweat on his cheeks, and let out a breath of air.
Under the city wall, the Western Xia soldiers and horses who were besieging the city once again retreated to the rear like a receding tide, and hundreds of corpses were thrown down under the city wall.
Even in the moat, there are still human bodies sinking and floating, but the water of the moat has been cut off by the Tangut people with sandbags.
Next, they will definitely continue to use those bags full of dirt to completely block the moat, creating a flat road that can be directly impacted at the foot of the city walls.
"Let them attack, with the city defense of this new Yanzhou, Chong really wants to see if they have the ability to break through this strong city." The breeder smiled, raised his hand and pulled out a feather arrow that was diagonally inserted on the chess pole at the head of the city and threw it at his feet, which was collected by the young men who were collecting the feather arrows that the Tangut people shot at the head of the city.
It is a pity that the Great Song Dynasty has crossbows, but the Western Xia people only have bows and arrows, so after the crossbow arrows are shot down, it can be regarded as having no return, while the feather arrows are different, both sides use bows, and feather arrows are universal for both bows.
However, the piercing power of Yuan You's crossbow is absolutely comparable to that of ordinary bows and arrows, and many Western Xia officers have fallen under the strength of Yuan You's crossbow.
Although it was difficult to inflict fatal damage on those officers after passing through the iron armor, the successive injuries still caused the Western Xia soldiers to frequently riot because they lost the command of the officers, disrupting the order and efficiency of their attacks.
"My lord, should we go out at night to attack the camp? The brethren of the cavalry were in the city, but they were almost rusty. Another general asked towards the planter.
"What's the panic, the cavalry is not used now. If they can defend it, why should they let the brothers risk going out of the city and hurting people's lives? The planter didn't think about it, so he categorically rejected the proposal of the generals under his command.
"What we have to do now is to drag this Western Xia army to the death under this new Yanzhou city, and buy more time for that guy Zhe Keshi."
"Having said that, he broke someone's guts, but it is really getting bigger and bigger, 10,000 horsemen, he dares to go deep into the tiger's den, alas, ......" The seed master Dao was both envious and faintly jealous.
After the guy decided to lead 10,000 elite cavalry to attack Xingqing Mansion, he sent someone to deliver the news, telling him that because of the arrival of the Western Xia army, he had to stop the path of the planter who had to go north to join the footsteps of Zhi Keshi.
The seed master Dao was almost crooked by Keshi's bold behavior, but he was helpless, after all, this product threatened to have the warrant of Wang Yang, the pacification envoy of the Sanzhou Economic Strategy, in his hand, and also analyzed the situation of Xingqing Mansion in detail.
Although he was angry, he also understood that this was indeed a good time that was not encountered in a hundred years, as long as he was careful enough, it was really possible to turn the hinterland of Western Xia into a pot of gruel.
It's a pity that he couldn't get out and led 10,000 elite horsemen to help. After all, the new Yanzhou, which is guarded by a large army, cannot afford to be lost, and the old Yanzhou, which is less than a hundred miles behind him, is full of a group of army troops to maintain order.
As long as Xinyanzhou is here, then the 100,000 Western Xia army will not be able to bypass it, so it can only continue to attack like Yugong moving mountains.
The important thing is that with these 10,000 elite cavalry in hand, even if the Xixia people want to retreat when they hear the news that Xingqing Mansion was attacked by the Song army, they must be cautious and slowly withdraw their troops step by step.

A hundred miles east of Yaode City, it is a hilly area with fertile water and grass, and countless cattle and sheep are slowly walking on the tender green lakeside, devouring the fat forage.
The shepherd boys were laughing and running and chasing on their foals, while the shepherds were dozing lazily in the high places of the hills, under the shade of the trees, or roasting the hares they had hunted, drinking the bad wine, and passing the time.
From time to time, a faint thunderclap came, presumably the thunderstorms that often occur in summer on the prairie.
At last one of the shepherds stood up, and called on the children to pay attention, and hurried back to the camp, and it was time for them to restrain and watch over the cattle and sheep, lest they be frightened and scattered by the thunder and lightning when the rain came.
However, the continuous thunder continued for a long time, but not half of the clouds drifted from east to west. At this moment, an old man who was close to fifty years old, with only his left arm left, stood on the hill and looked to the east for a long time, and then suddenly fell to the ground and listened quietly for a long time.
Then his face changed dramatically, and he suddenly howled. "Cavalry, a large number of cavalry, let the children hurry back to the camp and inform the ......"
