Chapter 1028 Invincible Bow Horse VS Iron Cavalry Charge - The Liao are retreating

Mobile reading

On the bank of the Sanggan River, near Zhaojiabao, there was chaos for days, a fireworks, and a killing sound!

Wu Haogu has already used the hard village to enclose the southeast side of Zhaojiabao, and the Sanggan River in the west has a water wheel building and a ship to control the choke. Pinshu.com Only a hole in the north was left for the Liao army commanded by Xiao Baoxian!

Xiao Baoxian was also in a hurry, and actually came up with a stupid method of fortress to fortress and trench to trench, and pulled a group of Jingzhou soldiers from the city of Xijin Mansion and the north of Wuqing County, as well as the neighboring Yutian County. Let them build a fort and dig a trench north of Zhaojiabao to prevent the Song army's trenches from continuing to advance.

Since the Liao soldiers have also been trained to dig trenches, then Wu Haogu's "dumb battle" has begun. The trick to fighting a "dumb war" is too simple, there are two, one is to have cannon fodder; The second is that there must be a cannon!

There is no shortage of cannon fodder on both sides, Xiao Bao first has the mobilization system of Nanjing Province in Liao, and he can use Jingzhou soldiers as cannon fodder by forcibly conscripting them.

And Wu Haogu is rich! It is possible to pay for soldiers, and you can also equip hired soldiers with cheap paper armor or slightly better leather armor. Moreover, he also controls half of the territory of Wuqing County, not to mention that tens of millions of strong men can always be hired quickly.

As for the cannon, it has not yet been officially invented. However, the ballista (actually a mobile eight-bull crossbow) and a counterweight-type trebuchet are difficult to defeat the armory and shipyard of Jiehe Shang City. Wu Haogu also has enough sappers under his command to manipulate them properly.

In addition, the Xuanfu Division's armory room in Jiehe Shang City also produced gunpowder and various incendiary bombs for the use of the sappers of the new army.

And Xiao Bao took the lead, there were also eight-ox crossbows, there were also stone-hairing machines that were pulled by ropes, and of course there was gunpowder.

But just because it's useful doesn't mean it's useful! The handicraft industry of Jiehe Shang City was not even dug up in the corners of the Hebei capital courtyards and courtyards on the side of the Song Dynasty, and the good craftsmen of the Liao State Xijin Mansion and Fengsheng Prefecture Longyan Tieshan were not dug up?

Therefore, the rise of the commercial handicraft industry in Jiehe Commercial City destroyed the government-run handicraft industry in Hebei and Nanjing Province of Liaoguo to some extent.

Therefore, south of Wuqing County, on the other side of the Sanggan River (Wuqing County is west of the Sanggan River, and Zhaojiabao is east of the Sanggan River), this "dumb battle" was fought, which caused heavy losses to the Jingzhou soldiers under Xiao Baoxian.

Powered by blast rockets, fireball bombs, stone projectiles, and other miscellaneous things that can be used to project. The cannon fodder of the Song army, which was dominated by small local tyrants and tenants from the Southern Wuqing Dynasty, went forward one after another and launched wave after wave of offensives against the trenches and fortresses of the Liao army.

After a few days of offensive, the Liao army's trench fortress outside Zhaojiabao was all captured by the Song army! The Liaoguo Palace division guarding Zhaojiabao had no choice but to break through to the county town and Xiaojiabao in the north.

But as soon as they came out of Zhaojiabao, they were attacked by the long-awaited Song army's iron cavalry! Nearly 3,000 armored cavalry, divided into 27 hundred cavalry teams, took turns to assault, and soon destroyed the thousands of Jingzhou soldiers of the Liao State who were used as cannon fodder behind the palace. Immediately pursued the Liaoguo Palace division army that fled in a hurry, and pursued it until Xiaojiabao, which was more than ten miles away. Along the way, there were dead men and dead horses, discarded baggage, and numb sitting in the wasteland, with their mouths open, watching the tall Song army armor cavalry chasing and killing the Jingzhou soldiers of the Great Liao Heavenly Soldiers. The Song army didn't seem to have any intention of capturing them, but only dispatched the light cavalry of the local tyrants in Nanwuqing to drive them away.

The news that the Great Liao Heavenly Soldiers were once again defeated by the commander of Jiehe Wuxuan will be spread by these Yandi Township Soldiers, and everyone in Yandi will know about it!

"Xuan Shuai, it doesn't seem right! The Liao army is Yelu Yanxi's pro-commander, how could it be defeated so easily? From the beginning of the Battle of Zhaojiabao, the cavalry of the Gongfen Army that appeared on the battlefield at the same time did not exceed 5,000, and there was not even one of its armored cavalry! If the Liao army doesn't launch a counterattack, then Yelu Yanxi will definitely not be in Wuqing County! ”

Since the beginning of the battle of Zhaojiabao, he has been personally controlling half of the iron cavalry, and Zhao Zhongge, who is ready to use it to meet the Khitan iron cavalry, has finally realized that Yelu Yanxi is not on the battlefield in Wuqing County.

This general, who was relied on by Wu Haogu as the support of Mount Tai, is actually more than brave and not enough to plan. Or rather, he was a technical rather than a strategic general. He can easily cope with how to organize a cavalry general or an infantry general, how to arrange troops on the battlefield, and how to attack or defend according to the squad.

But if he wants to make an accurate judgment through clues, that can't be done! Today, the Liao army has been defeated in Zhaojiabao, and the 27 teams of Song army iron cavalry have chased to the city of Xiaojiabao, and they have not seen the armored cavalry of the Liao State attack. Moreover, in the past few days, the number of Liao Guoyuan's horses encountered by the children of the local tyrants of Wuqing who were sent out to stop the horses was also expected to be two-thirds less. Only then did Brother Zhao Zhongge realize that the Liao lord Yelu Yanxi had left the Wuqing battlefield with some of his men!

Wu Haogu, who had just climbed the city wall of Zhaojiabao with Brother Zhao Zhong, listened to this analysis, and the joy on his face suddenly disappeared, "What? What the? Yelu Yanxi led his troops to Dingzhou? Is he crazy? He doesn't want to be in the Jinfu Mansion anymore? ”

Brother Zhao Zhong frowned: "How can Xijin Mansion City be so easy to fight?" The high and thick city wall, there are 5,000 permanent Khitan soldiers in the city, the battlefield in Wuqing County can still be returned to a few thousand, and the Khitan defenders of 10,000 can be taken out, and the grain, grass and weapons reserves in the city are quite abundant. If there is no internal response, we can only honestly build a camp outside the city and make a long-lasting plan. ”

In fact, there is an internal response, Wu Haogu spent ten years engaged in the united front of Yandi, how could there be no internal response in the city of Xijin Mansion? But the problem is that most of the forces mastered by the pro-Song Yan Di Haoqiang went out with the guards and pro-army. There were not many troops left in the city of Xijin Province, which was not enough to resist the 5,000 Khitan soldiers who stayed in Xijin Province. Not to mention that a considerable number of Khitan soldiers on the Wuqing battlefield will return to Xijin Mansion City.

Therefore, it was very difficult for Wu Haogu to quickly take the city of Xijinfu, but he could take advantage of the opportunity of Yelu Yanxi to take the main force away from the battlefield of Xijinfu, and suddenly advance the battle line to the outside of the city of Xijinfu, and build a large camp between the Gaoliang River and the Sanggan River. As a large base for attacking the castle of Setsu in the future!

"That Dingzhou is not so easy to fight." Wu Haogu smiled, "Zhong Fu brought two more generals into the city, there are five generals in Dingzhou City, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers alone, if you count the auxiliary soldiers and Ding Zhuang who can participate in the battle, there is no problem with the 30,000 city walls." The Khitans will never really fill a state city with a sea of corpses and a sea of blood, right? ”

"Of course not," Brother Zhao Zhong shook his head, "We're all about to advance outside the city of Xijin Mansion, Yelu Yanxi always has to spare some strength to fight us."

But...... Will the five generals in Dingzhou City go out of the city to fight the Khitans? ”

"No, no, how can Liang Zimei and Zhong Fu have such courage?" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "And the Xuanfu Division has already given them a military order to prevent them from going out of the city to fight." ”

Brother Zhao Zhong smiled, "Then rest assured...... Xuan Shuai, Xia Guan suggested that there was no need to approach Wuqing County step by step, and that 20,000 foot cavalry and 30,000 auxiliary soldiers and civilians could be sent to bypass Xiaojiabao and go north along the Sanggan River, and then build a night city at the confluence of the Sanggan River and the Gaoliang River, and build a pontoon bridge. Then cross the Gaoliang River with a large army and enter the Sanggan River and the Gaoliang River, and then you can build a large camp between the rivers to peek into the city of Xijinfu. During the period when our army built the fortifications, most of them could still force the defenders of Wuqing County and Xiaojiabao to move towards Xijin Mansion. Maybe you can fight it outside the city of Xijin Mansion! ”

"Good! What to do! Wu Haogu said with a smile, "As long as the Hejian camp is completed, it will be impossible for Yelu Yanxi to stay on Dingzhou Road." ”

……

"Out, out of the city and a decisive battle with the northern captives? This is not good, the old man has just received an order from the Xuanfu Division to hold the city and not fight. The old man can't disobey the military order! ”

In Dingzhou City, the inner hall of the Yamen was pacified, and Liang Zimei's head shook like a wave drum. What else do you say that you can't disobey Wu Haogu's military orders...... made Zhong Fu, who had just arrived, really cry and laughed.

"University scholar, it is the will of the official family to gather the soldiers of the five generals to go out of the city for a decisive battle!"

"Official, official!?" Liang Zimei frowned, the official family wants to fight, and the martial arts Gu Wu Xuanshuai wants to defend, who should he listen to to to this appeasement?

"Weak," Liang Zimei thought for a while, "The official family is far away in Kaifeng Mansion and doesn't know the situation in Dingzhou. This, this Liao army is powerful! It's everywhere outside Dingzhou, and you can't beat it......"

How can it be powerful? Zhong Fuxin said that he had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and his soldiers were only a few thousand, and he did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and he was monitored by thousands of Han cavalry of the Liao State along the way.

However, the villages and towns on both sides of the official road have suffered miserably, they have been robbed of livestock, food, money, cloth, and some young people have been captured to carry them alive, and I don't know if they can be put back? However, there was no massacre, and it seems that it is also beneficial for the Liao people to recite more Buddha. When Zhong Fu's army passed by, he met old and weak women and children crying and grabbing the ground.

So Zhong Fu also investigated along the way, and found that the people who fought in the grass valley near Dingzhou were all Han'er, and there were no real prisoners. And those Liao Han'er obviously didn't plan to stay for long, because they didn't cut down trees to build siege equipment at all. Without building equipment, it is naturally impossible to attack the city.

People are planning to grab a handful and go back! Now that I've almost had enough, it's time to go back. If you don't go back, you should go to the city of Jinfu to rob it...... Oh, not a robbery, but more ruthless! It's Wu Haogu who entered the city of Jinfu to speculate on land and houses! The house price in Yanjing is as expensive as Kaifeng Mansion! At that time, all the little tyrants in Yandi can't afford to buy a house, and they won't be able to marry their mothers-in-law!

Just thinking of this, a military machine next to Zhong Fu walked in quickly and whispered a few words in Zhong Fu's ear. Zhong Fu suddenly laughed: "Scholar, the scouts sent out by the lower officials have come to report that there is no trace of the Liao people in the left side of Dingzhou City!"

The Liao people are retreating! ”
