【First Update】

The wind finally stopped.

The sky is gradually clearing.

Tongyun is in the east, the clear sky is in the west, and the dividing line runs through the north and south, like a knife cut. A round of red sun rose out, and half of the sky was dyed blood-red.

Most generals who are good at looking at qi will look up and calculate for a long time. But after Wang Sunchen came out of the tent, he looked at the beautiful sky twice, but he didn't care and walked away.

So far, he has not changed his habit of patrolling the battalions every day.

As the day dawned, the soldiers of the battalions came out of their tents one by one, lined up with bowls, and went to serve the hot soup cakes that had just been burned.

The camp was not quiet, there was laughter, and Uighur soldiers could be seen laughing and saying something in the queue.

In the army, there are 17 prohibitions and 54 beheadings, and it is forbidden to raise laughter and make noise. However, the morale of the army was still high, and there was no need to worry about someone disturbing the morale of the army, so Wang Sunchen tolerated the soldiers for talking and laughing while eating and resting.

Defending the city is the most taboo to guard, blindly being beaten passively, and morale will fall rapidly. Therefore, if the Black Khan army did not attack every day, Wang Sunchen would lead the army out of the city to invite the battle, and in the face of the Song army's arrow array, which was three points harder than a stone, the Black Khan people were helpless. Every time there is more or less a catch. Yesterday was another big victory, and there were many more heads hanging on the fence.

On the side of the battlefield near the Song army camp, the decapitated corpses and the corpses of war horses froze on the ground, forming a series of barriers, and no matter how many people and horses wanted to cross over, it would take a lot of effort. If an armored rider tries to sprint on such a surface, he will only break his bones.

This was deliberately left by Song Jun. If the Black Khan army wanted to collect the corpses, they would have to brave artillery stones and arrows, and Wang Sunchen would also send troops to interfere. And if he wanted to send more soldiers to eliminate the interference, Wang Sunsin would immediately send a large army. Over the course of a few days, the bodies were indeed snatched back a little, but more remained.

After several days of such fighting, few Uighurs still had much fear of an enemy force several times their size.

Looking coldly at the group of Uighur soldiers bouncing around in the open space in the camp, Wang Sunsin thought to himself that he would be able to send them into battle in two more days.

He continued to walk through the camp. The snow was cleared early this morning, and the soldiers who did not fight that day had to take turns cleaning the camp and piling up the snow on the inside of the barracks. It was originally just a wooden fence, but now it looks like a city wall.

Stepping on the snow wall, the snow creaks under your feet, and you can see long arrows sticking deep and shallow diagonally into it.

Wang Sunsin bent down and picked up two long arrows from the ground, the flattened clusters of arrows and the slightly shorter tails, which were completely different from the arrows used by the officers and soldiers. There are no traces of polishing on the arrow cluster, and the shaft of the arrow is not smooth, and the two arrows are put together, not to mention that even the length is different, and it is not straight at all, which shows the degree of its shoddy work. But this is not bad, two days ago, when Wang Sunchen asked the people below to collect arrows, he also found a few clusters of arrows with grinding bones.

Dropping the long arrows, Wang Sunsin stared at the stiffened corpses a little further outside the fence, and it seemed that these light cavalry who were attacking the fortifications on all sides had to prepare their own arrows.

The arrows fired from the Iqtar cavalry in the first two days were different, apparently made by a regular workshop, and were of excellent shape, size, and materials. Not to mention the style, just look at the production level of the arrows, which can almost be equivalent to the arrows produced by the state and county bow and arrow workshops in the hands of Wang Sunchen. The Western Uighurs were far from good in terms of the quality of their weapons, and they were able to withstand the Black Khan for so long, apparently because of their geographical advantages and the civil strife in the other country.

It's just that even arrows can't be popularized to every cavalry, and from this point of view, the national strength of the Black Khanate is still far inferior to that of the Great Song Dynasty. As far as Wang Sunchen knew, only the iron output of the Taoshan Prison in Minzhou on Xihe Road was enough to create 10,000 plate armor within a year, and as for the arrows, it was even more in the hundreds of thousands. Therefore, the township soldiers and soldiers in Longxi can get enough arrows to use before the war.

Prepare your own equipment and war horses, and it is estimated that there will not be much pension if you die. Its treatment is not as good as that of the village soldiers, and if it is a tailwind battle, everything is easy to say. But when it comes to hard bones, most of the losses these days are their kind, the commander of the Black Khan people, how long can he drive these people?

Walking through the west camp, the situation of the camp in the north is similar. Although the heads inserted in the wall are not as good as those in Xiying, there are still a few more than the day before.

The Emperor of Heaven before yesterday beheaded the envoy, and it began to snow that night. The next day, yesterday, the snow was much lighter, but it was still a miserable day, and the snowflakes blew up made it difficult to see a little farther away.

Seeing this, Wang Sunsin ordered the whole army to pay attention to the possibility of a sneak attack by the enemy, and by the way, he sent 100 elite soldiers to the enemy camp to set fire.

I know that both sides have made precautions, and they have also made arrangements for a sneak attack on the enemy camp.

Due to its location, the northern camp has not been subjected to a major attack. Therefore, yesterday's sneak attack by the Black Khan was aimed at the northern camp. The elite of the attack chose the main fortress of the enemy army farther away.

With both sides on guard, the Black Khan failed, as did the men sent by Wang Sunsin.

However, the men sent by Wang Sunsin all wore surplus tent cloth and flying cloth and white cloaks that had been cut from the spaceship, and disappeared as soon as they entered the snow.

And the black sweat man is much worse, I don't know if I can't prepare or I didn't expect it, the variegated figure is still obvious in the wind and snow. The Fan army on Ganliang Road came out to block their way back and killed more than 100 people. At the same time, Wang Sunchen sent troops from the east and west villages, made a detour to the south, and found the Black Khan army that came to echo the north. The assault in the wind and snow beat the black sweat elite soldiers, who don't know how many people there were, into frightened ducks and fled in all directions.

It's just that Wang Sunchen was worried that the number of people was too big and the movement was too big, so he alarmed this black sweat army, and only sent 300 people to the army, and it was easy to defeat the enemy, but he couldn't completely annihilate it.

However, compared with the results of the total annihilation of the enemy army, Wang Sunchen still felt that he could not compensate for the danger of dispatching a large army in the wind and snow. Just like the group of men and horses of the Black Khan Army that had just set off to the east, in the face of this snow, I don't know how many people could get to their destination.

When Wang Sunchen came back from a circle, the spaceship rose above the Han army camp in the south. As the spaceship went into the sky, the whining horn sounded.

The Black Khan people did not accept the lesson of yesterday, perhaps because the losses were not too great.

First, the army left the camp one after another, assuming an offensive posture, and then the artillery trucks were also pushed out.

Wang Sunsin did not order the whole army to be dispatched this time.

The neat military formation is the best target for the artillery truck, and he has no intention of letting his family go to death.

From the sound of drums and trumpets on the opposite side, the smugness of the Black Khan people could be heard. The Black Khan cavalry, who began to gallop around the camp, also shouted and shouted, loudly expressing their disdain.

This was the first time in the days of fighting that the Han army did not attack. Let them think that they have finally gained the upper hand.

There were only six thunderbolt guns in the southern battalion, far less than the more than 20 that were pushed out at once on the opposite side. And in addition to the artillery carts, there are more than a dozen much shorter siege equipment, Wang Sunchen can't recognize it, looking at the appearance, the parts on both sides are a bit like bed crossbows, but there is a great difference in shape, which makes him dare not make a conclusion. However, with such a size and structure, it is impossible to use a cannon cart, most of them are to use elastic force to launch arrows, Wang Sunchen is very simple, and directly looks at it as a bed crossbow.

The dozen or so four-wheeled carts behind it are much easier to recognize, that is, the filling carts, pushed into the trenches, which can be used as bridges to step over, and pass through two trenches, one shallow and one deep, outside the barracks. In the past few days, the Black Khan people have not been able to attack the trench outside the southern camp at all, but this preparation has been done very well, and it looks like it is inevitable - it has just snowed, and the shallow ditch blocking the war horse is no longer visible, and the deep ditch is still obvious.

Wang Sunchen held a clairvoyant mirror and observed carefully, the cannon cart in the lens barrel was not small, if you compare it with the black sweat people below, its size is similar to that of the thunderbolt cannon, and there are even a few larger ones, which dwarfs the thunderbolt cannon. And the black sweat bed crossbow has a structure far different from the bed crossbow in Wang Sunchen's cognition, and the power and range cannot be confirmed.

You'll be able to see it right away anyway.

Wang Sunsin thought.

Destroy the perimeter of the camp with artillery carts and bed crossbows, and at the same time deter officers and soldiers from attacking the formation. The Black Khan people played a good wishful thinking.

Wang Sunchen turned around and instructed his own soldiers, "Order all battalions to hold the camp firmly in case the Black Khan people sneak attack." ”

If the battle in front is fierce and attracts the attention of the whole army, it is not impossible for the Black Khans, who have the advantage in strength, to send troops and horses to attack other camps. Even if a partial division had been divided before, it had no effect on the absolute superiority of the Black Khans in terms of troops.

Several of the soldiers answered the promise and rushed out of the city on horseback.

Wang Sunchen turned his head at this time, looked at the various siege engines that were slowly pushed forward, and he muttered to himself: "Keep your eyes open and watch carefully, and see how the officials and soldiers teach you a lesson." ”

The Han army battalion was all mobilized, and the artillery crews gathered under their respective artillery carts and waited solemnly.

A group of crossbow archers with divine arms stood behind the barracks. Thick snowdrifts are the best defense. The freshly built winding machine is fixed to the ground and ready to serve the crossbowmen.

The cavalry followed their horses, and as soon as they opened the gates of the barracks, it was their turn to charge.

With a battle-hardened general and well-trained soldiers, the preparation to meet the enemy was completed in only half an hour.

On the opposite side, Ghulam and Iqtar were far behind the Black Khans, with only a portion of the light cavalry following the artillery carts, bed crossbows, and ho carts. But just looking at the movements of the Iqtar cavalry, if this side makes a plan to surprise the siege equipment, then they will immediately attack - whether it is a competition for cavalry or infantry that has lost formation, the Black Khan's manpower advantage can be fully exploited. This was exactly what they expected from the Han army's reaction.

The rest of the light cavalry stood on the outside of the camps on the east and west sides to prevent troops from coming out from the flanks.

In terms of arrangement, the commander of the Black Khan Army behaved very steadily, making full use of the manpower advantage in his hands, hoping to complete the battle. It can be described as a good general. Even if it was a small setback yesterday, it didn't change the advantage in his hands.
