Chapter 663 - It!! I forgot to order the killing of the horse (first update)
Chapter 663
If it weren't for Sachen's advice, the army would have been able to make a decision immediately after the Jianing Military Division was taken by the Liang thieves, and went straight north to Xiazhou, at least most of the 40,000 troops could be preserved.
It's just that neither Sachen nor himself has the ability or dare to leave these 10,000 wounded soldiers behind and leave them to their fate. And had to protect the nearly 10,000 wounded, and walked slowly to this dilapidated and narrow ancient city of Wuyan.
said a thousand ways and ten thousand, all of which were special because Liang Yikui, the insidious and vicious old dog, broke the tendons of nearly 10,000 prisoners of war, which led to today's predicament.
"Old Pifu Liang, you Liang clan deserve to die, you should be skinned and cramped......" Fei Ting Darong muttered and roared, his eyes were sad and his expression was hideous, like a wild dog that had been driven into a poor alley.
"My lord, please retreat to the safety of the city with us as soon as possible, and do not linger any longer." At this moment, after Mi Bao Shengyong and the others glanced at each other, they all saw the cowardice in each other's eyes.
If you continue to stay, I am afraid that I and the others may also become the soul of Song Jun's sword, or the prisoner of the stairs.
"Let's go, since the old man has replaced General Sa and become the head of an army, he should fight to the death and not retreat, I hope to buy you more time." Fei Ting Darong turned his head, seeing the expressions of these generals, he still didn't understand what they meant, and after sighing at the moment, he slowly shook his head.
"No, my lord, you are the minister of my Great Xia Pillar Stone, if you have a case, what face will I have to see Your Majesty?" Mi Shengyong said loudly.
"Yes, please evacuate with us, if we don't leave, I'm afraid it will be too late......"
During the dispute, Fei Tingdarong was dragged away from the high wall by a group of generals and retreated in the direction of Dongcheng.
At the behest of the generals, the double-decker raft, which could only carry 150 people, was increased to 200 people, and because of the excessive weight, the soldiers even threw away unnecessary equipment and dry food.
The non-general soldier had nothing but iron armor and a knife in his hand, and there began to be an incident of falling into the water caused by boarding the boat.
Fortunately, they were suppressed by the warlord's team in time, but every one of them remained on the shore at this moment, and an ominous thought rose in the hearts of the Xixia soldiers in the city.
"War Horse!" At this moment, Fei Tingda Rong, who had just been surrounded by his own soldiers and boarded a raft, breathed a sigh of relief, listening to the river slapping against the ice edges that showed a corner on the surface of the river, as well as the noise of the soldiers in the distance, and the busy scene of the wharf on the east bank of the Wuding River, and suddenly felt a pang in his heart.
There were more than 40,000 horses in the city, and at first, the consideration was to transport the army almost as soon as possible, and then transport the mounts across the river.
But he never thought that the plan had not changed quickly, and the offensive of the Song army in the past few days had made Fei Ting Darong have racked his brains and concentrated on dealing with it, and he forgot about this stubble.
Now that I think about it, if the Song army suddenly got these more than 40,000 war horses, wouldn't it be equivalent to letting the Song army's 40,000 foot soldiers directly exchange their guns for guns and become 40,000 elite horsemen.
"Hurry up, bring me a pen and paper," Fei Ting Darong looked back, at this moment the raft was already approaching the middle of the Wuding River, on the raft, there were not only himself and his own soldiers, but also nearly a hundred garrison soldiers.
If you turn back at this time, it will be equivalent to letting this raft run away again. However, on the raft, Fei Ting Darong hastily wrote a military order, and after arriving on the east bank of the Wuding River, he handed it over to a personal guard and asked him to take the raft back to the west bank.
Tell the generals who are still staying on the west bank to kill the horses, no matter what, they can't let these more than 40,000 war horses fall into the hands of the Song army.
It's just that when Fei Ting Darong arrived on the east bank and asked the guards to rush back to the west bank, nearly an hour had passed.
At this moment, the three sides of the ancient city of Wuyan sounded at the same time the passionate sound of the Song army's military drums, as well as the sound of the three shouts of victory, which was the favorite shout of the Song army after the victory, and it was also the encouragement and roar of the Song army at the time of the decisive battle.
Fei Ting Darong, as well as the thousands of Western Xia soldiers who had crossed the Wuding River and had not yet gone to Longzhou, could only look at the west bank of the Wuding River with a desperate and numb expression at this moment.
#####
"Forward, keep in formation, first row, put, second row forward, put!" With a loud shout, the front of the Song army opened the way with swords, shields and spearmen, and behind this front, thousands of crossbowmen, raising the soft steel crossbow arm in their hands, poured arrows and rain towards the city.
The Tangut people could only rely on the buildings to try to resist, but in order to avoid the rocks that would fall on their heads at some point, the resistance seemed so powerless.
And when the Song army in the north and south reached the collapsed north and south gates, the morale of the Western Xia army fell directly to the bottom.
There was also no shortage of Western Xia soldiers who still had the courage to resist stubbornly, but after several days of sonic attacks, they were physically and mentally exhausted, and they were unable to organize a too effective resistance.
In addition, each double-decker raft on the pier represents a way out. As the Song army's troops pressed the border, under the rain of arrows like a torrential rain, the Tanguts either threw down their weapons and fled to the docks, or simply found a place to hide, or desperately launched a final assault on the Song army coming in array in the face of the rain of arrows.
Zhe Keshi's judgment was indeed very accurate, after the Tanguts used the last hole cards to attack and failed, as the garrison and a group of senior generals left, the remaining Tangut soldiers were as desperate as a group of orphans who had been thrown down.
The physical and mental torture that lasted for several days and nights even made some Western Xia soldiers lay down their weapons and fell asleep on the uneven ground without regard after being seen by the Song army and taken aside.
Compared to the earth-shattering thunder, the sound of fighting is nothing, it is like a drizzle to make people sleep.
The Song army was surrounded on three sides, and the resistance of the Western Xia army was suppressed like a devastation, and then it was constantly taking prisoners and captives.
Just when the army gathered in front of the dock, on the dock, there were still five double-decker rafts on the dock, but because the number of people carrying was too much, just after leaving the dock, a raft directly overturned on its side, and nearly 300 Xixia soldiers fell directly into the uncertain river mixed with ice.
And when it was dozens of feet away, another ship hit a huge ice cube, and although the raft did not fall apart, at least more than 20 people fell into the water.
