Chapter 518: Our Walled Wall Can Only Defend in One Direction (First Update)
Chapter 518
In order to ensure the safety of the back road, and at the same time to ensure that Huanzhou can be captured as quickly as possible, a large number of troops will be used to besiege and not attack the various walled cities in the north of Huanzhou.
And the elite division of Great Xia, which concentrated nearly 120,000, and even the Iron Harrier, which Western Xia was most proud of, dispatched nearly two-thirds, that is, almost 12,000, which was absolutely unprecedented.
But since it is in such a situation, the old dog Zhang Qi in Huanzhou is extremely tenacious, fighting hard and stubbornly, and he has a posture of resisting until the city is broken.
A few days have passed, and the corpses of more than 2,000 Western Xia warriors have been left under the city, and more than 5,000 wounded, but they still have not been able to open a gap in Huanzhou City.
In the face of the cruel fact that the warriors of Great Xia are good at field battles but not good at attacking cities, Liang Yiqi is also very bad, but he is helpless.
But now that my sister asked about herself, Liang Yiqi had to harden her head, and said after a little thought. "Niangniang, this Huanzhou City is indeed very strong, although our Western Xia warriors are invincible in the field, but the other party is vilely hiding in the city, relying on the advantages of their bows and crossbows......"
Xiao Liang heard Liang Yi's words, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and gently cocked his white and tender fingers, which seemed to be translucent in the light. "Then big brother, do you mean that we are going to return in vain this time?"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Xiao Liang's tone, Liang Yiqi smashed his mouth helplessly. "The minister thinks that we should order all the troops and horses, and continue to attack for three days, if we can go down with a drum, if not, at that time, the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty should also be gathered, we are fighting or retreating, and then we will stop. I don't know what the mother wants? ”
"Three days ......" Xiao Liang glanced at his brother, and finally could only nod helplessly. Well, I hope that in the past three days, the generals had better show your strongest ability, if anyone dares to slack off and neglect, don't blame the mourning family law and not be merciful. ”
The generals of Western Xia couldn't help but feel a chill when they heard this, and quickly got up respectfully and said yes again and again. In her heart, she scolded again and again, this Xiaolianghou didn't even have half of her aunt's skills, but her temperament was even more moody, and if she was not careful, she would be ruined.
Seeing these generals so respectful, Xiao Lianghou raised the corners of her lips slightly with satisfaction, stood up, and walked heroically towards the outside of the big tent. "Today, the mourning family personally supervises the battle, General Yeli, you first lead the troops and horses of your headquarters to attack the east gate......"
Looking at Xiao Lianghou's figure wrapped in silver and bright iron armor, still showing grace and temptation, General Yeli swallowed viciously, promised loudly, and hurriedly followed the steps of Xiao Liang's soldiers to leave the big tent, shouting that the soldiers and horses of the headquarters were ready to attack the city again......
#####
From the first day, the next two days and two nights, Zhi Keshi almost didn't dare to close his eyes, for fear that the Western Xia army would be shocked to attack after the circuit was blocked.
A large number of rangers were sent every day to carefully reconnoiter the movements of the Western Xia army besieging Huanzhou, and it was almost an hour to report the situation.
In this way, they stayed up in fear until the third day was close to dusk, and Wang Yang finally brought a piece of relief to Coco, the construction of the walled wall was nearing the end, and they could now withdraw.
As soon as he received the news, Zhi Keshi issued an order to withdraw the troops, ordering only a small number of scouts to be reconnoitred outside Huanzhou City, and more than 2,500 horsemen withdrew from the original place as quickly as possible and rushed to the wall.
"It's done, we're really done......" Looking at this high wall with a length of about one mile, a height of two zhang, a width of almost three zhang at the bottom, and a width of about one zhang at the top.
Only in one section there is a gap that is three feet wide.
This simple wall made of logs, stones and clay cement is very simple and rough, but it is absolutely solid.
Wang Yang, who had two dark circles under his eyes, but looked very radiant, stepped forward and smiled at the leader Zhi Keshi and the others.
"General Zhe, General Hu, you can be counted as coming back, hurry up and pass through the gap, after you pass, this gap will also be blocked, and at that time, there will be a maximum width of one person and one horse. For our scouts to enter and exit ......"
Zhi Keshi didn't dare to slack off, and quickly jumped off the horse to return the salute to Wang Yang, and ordered the whole army to pass quickly. "I didn't expect you, Lord Wang, to really succeed."
"It's not because the brothers have put in a lot of effort, whether it is our border army or the forbidden army brothers, or those people, young and strong, and village brave, if it weren't for them, how could they have done it in such a short time." Wang Yang turned his head and looked at the walled wall raised from the ground with pride on his face, and he was very proud in his heart.
After more than 2,500 cavalry slowly passed through the wall, the people who had been waiting on both sides of the wall began to block the gap with the logs and stones they had felled.
In the makeshift tent, the haggard and tired Zhe Keshi sat down with General Hu, took the water cup handed over by Wu Qilang and others, and drank it all in one gulp, and then he took a long breath of air.
"Generals, thank you for your hard work...... If it weren't for the fact that you are so responsible to block the front line, there is no way for our walled wall to be successfully built in such a short period of time. ”
Hearing Wang Yang's words, Ma Shang's father-in-law next to him also bowed his head to show his approval, this group of generals who have been frightened and suffered a lot these days finally smiled.
"But generals, now we still have a big difficulty, I'm afraid we need to solve it by the generals, so that our soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty can guard this place without any worries, and block those Western Xia barbarians who are besieging Huanzhou at the moment, but don't know that Gyeongju is coming to the aid of the main army of our Great Song Dynasty."
Wang Yang saw the happy expressions of these guys, hmm...... After the sweet dates are given, it's time to continue to give them a stick.
"I don't know what difficulties you want us to solve, Wang Jianjun?" The General Hu stood up and asked Wang Yang suspiciously.
"Our walled wall can only defend in one direction, then, in the other direction, there are still a large number of Western Xia soldiers and horses......" Wang Yang raised his hand and pointed to his back.
"If Empress Xiao Liang and that Liang Yiqi knew that we blocked their retreat, they would definitely try to inform the soldiers and horses who surrounded our forts, not to mention anything else, only three or five thousand people were needed, it would be enough for us to take care of one or the other, and this strong walled wall, which could originally block 100,000 elite soldiers, would only become another joke of my Great Song Dynasty."
