Chapter 841: Hurry up, everyone quickly throw away their armor (second update)
Chapter 841
Now, their goal has been achieved, not only to contain the main army of Western Xia here, but also to let the Song army slap the Western Xia in the face.
These two slaps are definitely the biggest shame of Western Xia since the founding of the country, it can be said that the previous Great Xia lost nearly 200,000 troops, which was equivalent to physical injury, and now what the Song army has done is also a heavy blow to the soul of Western Xia.
Even the royal tombs hidden deep in the hinterland of Western Xia were attacked by the Song army, doesn't that mean that today's Western Xia is so weak that the land is allowed to come and go?
Rinda Zongbao let out a long breath of turbid air and stared at the new city for a long time, before he resolutely turned away and headed towards the camp.
The battle of the armies has ended, and just now they went back to the camp to rest, and the commander held a military meeting, which made the generals who were not in a high mood secretly scolded their mothers in their hearts, but they had to rush to the big tent of the Chinese army.
After entering the big tent, Nita's eyes swept over these generals. "Ben Shuai knows that you are a little annoyed because you failed to capture this Song City today, this is normal, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. But that's not what Ben Shuai wants to say today. ”
"I have summoned you here for an important matter, and I want to tell you that today let the soldiers rest early, and tomorrow when the time comes, they will leave the camp! Returned to the division of Xiangqing Military Division. ”
"Dashuai, here we are, this is going back to the division?" One of the generals jumped up suddenly, and couldn't help but say a little anxiously. "But we haven't even touched the edge of Yanzhou City, so we'll go back like this......"
"General Fei Ting, I know that you are unwilling, and the generals present are also very unwilling, even Ben Shuai is very unwilling, but the question is...... Something happened in Xingqing Mansion. Nitamun took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone.
When the news of the damage to the tomb of the king of Naxi Xia and the burning of Xingqing Cang came out, the entire Chinese army's tent was directly exploded.
Everyone was full of disbelief, and they never thought that such a big event would happen.
"Isn't there still soldiers and horses in Xingqing Mansion? Wei Ming Ah Wu is sitting in Xingqing Mansion, and there is such a thing, this is ......"
"The Song army is cunning, they are only a partial division, and deliberately confront the army of the old general across the river, so they actually sent a soldier and horse to secretly cross the river and enter the hinterland of Xingqing Mansion......"
"Now, the old general has sent soldiers and horses to hunt down the Song army that has infiltrated the hinterland of Xingqing Mansion, but Ben Shuai is very worried that there have been so many accidents in a row, and it is very likely that some tribes who are not satisfied with the rule of my Great Xia will be ready to move."
"Today, I wanted to withdraw the army after seizing this city, but that kind of division still has such a backhand. Now that the country is empty, and the army has been stationed outside for a long time, it is really inappropriate, so Ben Shuai decided to return to Xingqing Mansion. ”
Renduo Zongbao's explanation made everyone silent, and they had to admit that it was indeed the best choice to retreat to the hinterland of Western Xia now.
After all, this fortified city has already consumed too much time for the Western Xia army, and the important thing is that the other party still has a backhand, and if you want to capture it, I really don't know how much time it will take.
But the question is, has the Song Kingdom been watching this place being attacked by the Western Xia army and has been indifferent?
In addition, the partial division of the Song State actually jumped up and down in the hinterland of Western Xia and did so many things, could he still let the other party continue to be unable to do it?
It's just that Xixia spent so much energy and paid so much, but in the end it was in vain, which is really frustrating.
"General Weiming, tomorrow after you lead 10,000 elite cavalry, don't let the master Dao have a chance, let's go back to Xingqing Mansion, if possible, it will be just a while that Song army is biased, if they still dare to stay in the territory of Great Xia, this commander will personally pick their human skin to make a drum." Nitamun roared with a hideous face.

The three thousand Song army, but there were seven or eight thousand war horses, and it took nearly a day and a half to cross the river before, and this whole night passed, only less than 1,000 people were crossed, and there were less than 2,000 war horses.
In the early morning of the next day, Luo Ping, who had arrived on the east bank of the Yellow River, saw the general sent by Zhe Keshi to summon the message, and heard that the army of the Western Xia people was rapidly advancing north along the river, and his face could not help but change greatly.
"I'll be an hour ahead of them at most, hurry up and tell General Liang and General Li to cross the river immediately." Zheng Tongzhi, who rushed to summon the summons, poured a large mouthful of water and hurriedly added.
"However, we still have so many war horses that haven't crossed the river yet......" Luo Ping couldn't help but hesitate a little.
"General Luo, whether the war horse is important or the lives of our soldiers are important, don't you understand?" Zheng Tongzhi couldn't help but be in a hurry, and shouted loudly.
"Okay, come here, immediately send a signal to the other side of the river, let them cross the river immediately, do not delay, you go over in person, tell General Li and General Liang that the enemy army is approaching, it is possible to arrive here in less than an hour, let them give up their horses and cross the river immediately!"
The flag was beaten, and then Luo Ping's herald also crossed the river with the boat to report, and Liang Shou and Li Mao, who were still a little hesitant, also knew that now was really not the time to be greedy for money.
The soldiers could only be strictly ordered to abandon their horses and board the ship immediately, and many cavalrymen were reluctant, but they had to obey the military order.
Liang Shou, as the person in charge of the response and the break, stayed at the end, and the time passed slowly bit by bit, and when there were still three or four hundred people left, the south of the land about ten miles away from here was lit with billowing wolf smoke.
"Damn! Send a signal, let them hurry up, the army of Western Xia is no more than ten miles away from us. Liang Shou hurriedly shouted.
After receiving the signal from this side, the soldiers of the Song Army who had just arrived on the ferry on the river beach did not continue to wait for the boat to dock under the urging of the general, but jumped directly into the waist-deep river.
This allows the ferry to clear the air head as quickly as possible. On the west bank, three or four hundred Song soldiers had all gathered on the dock, anxiously waiting for the ships.
Ten miles of road, for walking, I am afraid that it will take half an hour to arrive, but for the galloping war horse, it is only a piece of incense to arrive.
Every breath felt extraordinarily difficult, and just as the ferry had just crossed the center of the river, the thunderous sound of thousands of galloping horses had already thundered into everyone's ears.
The billowing smoke and dust cover the sky and the sun, just like a sandstorm that is about to wreak havoc on the world.
The faces of all the soldiers left behind couldn't help but change slightly, and at this time, Liang Shou gritted his teeth and roared. "Everyone, immediately remove your armor, throw away your weapons, pick up these planks, swim towards the center of the river, what are you doing, hurry, give me a hurry......"
