Chapter 472: Outwitting Gai Zhuwei
(Cat pounces on Chinese) Gai Zhu Wei, the billowing smoke rising from the fierce flames of war envelops the entire city. Please search (#...... See the most! The battle flag, which was still hunting and waving in the wind that was the fastest update, was now tattered and ragged, and seemed to fall in an instant, and the dead bodies were lying on the ground above the towers, and the blood that flowed out of it seeped down the cracks in the bricks, making the walls turn scarlet.
The war continues.
Seeing that the Song army launched an attack again, the arrows on the wall of Gaizhu City immediately flew wildly, dragging a long rain of arrows like locusts crossing the clear sky, only to see the soldiers falling to the ground with arrows. I saw that a Song soldier had just climbed the city wall, and was immediately greeted by several Western Xia soldiers with swords, outnumbered, and the blood stained the city wall of Gai Zhuwei again.
The sound of swords and guns entering the body, the terrible screams, and the blazing beacon fire made the soldiers of the two armies angry, and the war became more and more fierce.
But from the perspective of formation, these are two armies with comparable strength but very different styles: the Song army lacked horses and infantry soldiers, supplemented by a small number of cavalry; The Western Xia army was a crescent moon sword and mainly cavalry.
Suddenly, the horn of the Western Xia army from the north was great, and the banner was hunting in the wind. The heavy cavalry Iron Harrier, who was at the forefront, was the first to strike, and the light cavalry on both flanks responded to each other, followed by the sound of armor and the roar of horses' hooves trampling the ground, as if a black tide swept from the horizon in the distance.
After all, Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division are too close to Tong'an City and Gai Zhuwei, and it only takes an hour before and after the attack on Gai Zhuwei, and the reinforcements of Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division can arrive, and it is only four hours to Tong'an City, so this bone is very difficult to gnaw.
Seeing the retreat of the Song army, the Western Xia soldiers on the wall of Gai Zhuwei spoke the Western Xia language and launched a ghost crying wolf howl like a sea call, obviously celebrating the repulsion of the Song army's attack and achieving the final victory.
The previous battle situation was also quite tragic, and these defenders of Gai Zhuwei had a sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe, after all, the Song army slaughtered Renduoquan City and the army slaughtered Jingxia City in the front.
However, to the disbelief of all the Tangut people, a scene appeared, just as the guards of the city gate rushed to open the city gate, they saw that the reinforcements gathered outside the city gate suddenly urged the horses under the seat, and then the iron cavalry of the brigade seemed to go crazy, and rushed towards Gaizhu City like a tide.
This bloody scene was only a prelude, and a one-sided battle bordered on slaughter.
Knowing the arrival of reinforcements, several of Gai Zhuwei's guards came to the city gate to greet them, but they were greeted by ruthless iron hooves and life-harvesting knives and guns.
More than 10,000 cavalry rushed into Gaizhu City, and many light horsemen rushed to the city head along the road on the city wall, slashing and invincible with spears and swords in their hands, and began to launch a near-massacre attack on the Western Xia soldiers on the city wall.
A group of Xixia soldiers finally understood the origin of this team, and they knew what was going on, at this time they understood that it was too late for the general trend to go, and they had no fighting spirit, and then some Xixia soldiers subconsciously made a self-protection action, threw the blade in their hands, and surrendered with their heads in their hands.
The battle ended quickly, the undeclared raid, coupled with the fact that the raid was the elite of the Western Army, and the cavalry occupied an overwhelming advantage in numbers, it only took half an hour from the Song army rushing into the city to ending the battle.
"Dashuai, it's dangerous to take Gai Zhu!" The guards guarding Liu Fa's side saw the Great Song Dragon Flag hanging high and said excitedly.
When he spoke, Liu Fa's eyes were full of gratitude to Lotte, and the three successive victories were enough to make Liu Fa atone for his crimes, and it was a shame for Yixue's previous defeat.
"This greedy old man doesn't dare to be alone!" Liu Fa smiled, and at the same time his eyes fell on Xu Jiang, who was not far from Lotte's side, and said with a smile: "Lord Xu is the eyes and ears of His Majesty, if the old man is based on this merit alone, what is the difference between bullying the king, the old man still wants to keep the head on the neck, and then go home and tease Sun......
In fact, Liu Fa also saw that Lotte did not treat Xu Jiang well, and usually acted separately from him.
Nodding, Liu Fa stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and smiled with Lotte: "Master Le will go to the city with the old man!" ”
Three battles and three victories have established Lotte's status in the minds of Liu Fa's corporaries, not only a group of army sergeants and soldiers, but also generals under Liu Fa's command who admire Lotte very much.
Although the war was over, various smells such as fireworks and blood still enveloped the city. When he entered the city with Liu Fa's side, he saw that the city was very heavily guarded, and everywhere he could see piles of tall stone sleepers, cans of fire oil and bundles of arrows, all of which were war materials.
"If it weren't for Lord Le's good strategy, I don't know how many men and horses our army would have lost!" Qu Jin also followed and said, and then sighed again: "In the autumn of the fifth year of Xiangzheng and He, Tong Taiwei planned a general attack on the Xia thieves, united with Shaanxi Qinfeng, Yan Yan, and Jingyuan Zhulu armies under the command of Liu Zhongwu to attack Zangdihe City, our army repeatedly failed to attack, and then the Xia army reinforcements arrived to take advantage of the situation to cover the attack, our army suffered heavy casualties, tens of thousands of athletes died bravely, and even the third general of Qin Fenglu was killed. ”
Liu Fa was even more excited in his heart: "In the three battles of Zhenwu Army, Zhuo Luo and Nanjun Division, and Gai Zhuwei, the casualties of my Great Song soldiers are negligible, but the victory can set a precedent for my Great Song Dynasty!" ”
"How many prisoners were captured in this war?" After entering the palace, Liu Fa asked the generals under his command.
"More than 2,000 Western Xia soldiers were captured in this battle!" Qu Jin replied, and when he spoke, Qu Jin said again: "When the last general counted the number of people and inspected the cell, he found that when our army was surrounded last time, many of our soldiers were captured, and I asked the commander to instruct the delivery!" ”
