Chapter 62: A Great Victory
The 5,000 Liao army besieged the city again, which was 12 times stronger than the Guixin army, and the difference in strength was too great, and it was very difficult to hold the city, but I didn't expect it, but the result was a big victory, a complete victory, and even Yelu Bodhisattva became a ghost under the sword, which is so rare.
Not to mention, the Liao army has a large number of war horses, and even if they can't fight, they can escape. Once the Liao army fled, the Guixin army was seriously short of war horses, and where the two legs could catch up with the four legs, it was only a rout battle at most.
The Song-Liao War lasted for hundreds of years, and the Song Dynasty suffered enough because of the lack of elite cavalry, which was mainly in two aspects. One is because there is no cavalry, and it cannot launch a timely counteroffensive against the Liao army, so even if the Liao army fails to attack once, it can still open the distance, calmly reorganize the team, and launch another attack. In this way, the Liao army's offensive is endless, and the Song army can only be passive and beaten, and can only defend, which is an important reason why the Song-Liao War has been fought for hundreds of years and the Song Dynasty has been inferior.
The second disadvantage, of course, is that it cannot be pursued. Because of the lack of war horses, the Liao army could not be defeated, and they could escape. The two-legged Song army can't catch up with the four-legged Liao army no matter what, and the result is that the Liao army can be repaired and then come back to fight.
After Yelu Bodhisattva besieged the city again, the city of conversion faced such an end, either it could not counterattack the Liao army, or it could only be defeated. If it is defeated, the consequences will not change in any way, with Yeluming's idea that Wu Ji swore that he would win, 5,000 people could not be attacked, and he would send more people, and it would become a long-lasting battle to defend the city.
Where to think, under Wu Ji's ingenious planning, the result is so perfect.
Only the word perfect can express this miracle!
On the battlefield, if you want to completely annihilate the enemy, it is not that nothing has happened, but that there are too few and too few, and there may not be one battle in a hundred.
With the head of Yelu Bodhisattva falling to the ground, this siege battle came to a perfect end.
"Long live the Great Song!"
An earth-shattering roar sounded, and the Returned Army, Ding Zhuang, the heroes of Qiyun Society, and the common people waved their arms to vent their joy to the fullest.
"Commander Wu! Commander Wu! The soldiers and civilians shouted at the same time, like a wave rushing over, surrounding Wu Ji, and without saying anything, they threw him into the sky.
The faces that were almost crazy with joy, with earth-shattering cheers, looked at Wu Ji as if they had seen their ancestors.
For the converting people, Wu Ji is their ancestor. Wu Ji exterminated the thieves, reversed the crisis, and saved the conversion from suffering. This time, the Liao army invaded the border, Wu Ji commanded the army and the people to defeat the Liao army twice, this is a great victory, how rare, in the Song-Liao Hundred Years War, the Song Dynasty has achieved a similar victory several times?
Not only Wu Ji was thrown in the sky, but Zheng Tai, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao were also thrown up.
The joy of the people was too difficult to vent, and even Li Mingchu and Shang Yuan threw them up.
Li Mingchu was thrown into the sky, he enjoyed this kind of treatment very much, he used to be a ruffian, and he did a lot of things like stealing chickens and touching dogs in his conversion, and the matter of being a hero for him was 108,000 miles away, and it couldn't be farer. Unexpectedly, he threw the unspeakable joy of the people into the air today, waved his arms and shouted: "I am a hero!" Lao Tzu is a hero! Lao Tzu has become a hero! ”
"Good man! Hero! Grandpa Li is a good man! ”
The people circled around him frantically, roaring loudly, and their mouths were like loudspeakers, making loud decibel sounds.
"We've won!"
Wu Ji clenched his hands into fists and kept waving, his joy was indescribable. It is really rare to be able to win this battle. When Yelu Bodhisattva besieged the city again, Wu Ji also felt that the situation was serious and the pressure was extremely high. At that time, it would be good for him to be able to hold the city, how dare he hope to annihilate the Liao army.
Where did he think about it, but in the end it was such a perfect ending, far beyond his thoughts. At this moment, his pent-up mood relaxed, and his joy erupted like a flood that had burst its banks.
"Victory! Victory! ”
A frantic roar rang out, shaking the ground and not stopping for a long time.
I don't know how much time has passed, but the joy of the people has only been slightly dissipated and stopped.
Wu Ji stood on the ground and looked at it, only to see that there were horses everywhere, and there were booty everywhere, and the people only cared about punishing the Liao army and rejoicing, but they didn't go to collect the spoils.
"Commander Wu, old rules, you take your brothers to rest, and I take the people to pack up the spoils." Mrs. Zheng's body was red, it was blood, and she walked over excitedly: "The brothers are so tired, it's time to rest." ”
As the main force, the converts are the hardest and most tired, and it is really time to rest. However, Wu Ji looked at Mrs. Zheng's rabbit eyes for a while, and said with a smile: "Lord Zheng, you are no better." The people are also tired, so it is better to rest for a while and then clean up. Anyway, when the Liao dog is finished, no one will rob it. ”
"Huh!"
Mrs. Zheng smiled, with a happy look on her face, and waved her hand: "Commander Wu, I am a parent official, and I don't have your command to make a good life." If you're done, it's over, and I'll have to deal with the aftermath. Think about it, if you don't pack up the loot now, when will you wait? First, if you win such a big victory, you will have strength if you don't have the strength, and the meat will be stuffed into your mouth, and if you don't eat it, you will be sent by heaven. Besides, although we won this battle, our losses were small. Look at the city, half of it has been destroyed, and so many people are homeless, have no shelter, no food, and if they don't pack up the spoils, how will they live? It's a cold day. ”
The battle was won, but the price of conversion was not small. If there is no ice wall, it is impossible to stop the Liao army, it is impossible to concentrate the Liao army, the maximum power of the thunderbolt bomb cannot be brought into play, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.
In order to repair this ice wall, the converts demolished their houses and knocked down the walls, leaving many homeless. In this very cold day, it is a top priority for them to have a house to live in, food to eat, and hot water to drink.
"Then there's Lord Lao Zheng." Wu Ji glanced at Mrs. Zheng with some pity. Mrs. Zheng was also too tired, but he was a parent official, so he couldn't just let go, so he had to hold on.
"Brothers, go back and rest." Wu Ji passed down the order, and the Guixin army began to drive towards the city.
The Converts were the greatest heroes of this battle, and everywhere they went, the people cheered and greeted each other. The converts marched proudly into the city and into the barracks.
As soon as I returned to the barracks, I began to heal my wounds and clean my wounds. Wu Ji wiped the wound with hot water with the help of Yang Xiuxiu, and asked, "Have the casualties come out?" ”
"Wu Lang, this will be waited for, and it is being cleaned up." Yang Xiuxiu raised her eyebrows, both happy and worried: "Wu Lang, don't rush to the front in the future, how dangerous it is." ”
She was the first to jump off the ice wall and was terrified.
Looking at Yang Xiuxiu, who was very worried, Wu Ji had a lot to say, but he didn't say a word, as if something was stuck in his throat, he held Yang Xiuxiu's little hand tightly, and nodded lightly: "I'll be fine." ”
After wrapping up the wound, Wu Ji put on good clothes, went out of the house, and went to inspect. I saw that the soldiers were cleaning their wounds, scolding and scolding, saying that they didn't feel pain when they were happy, and it hurt when they relaxed.
It was already luck to be able to kill 5,000 Liao troops, if there were more, Wu Ji was not sure at all, and when he heard it, he couldn't help laughing.
"Commander Wu, the casualties are out." Huangfu Song and Qi Dabao came quickly, their faces solemn, containing endless grief: "Eighty-two brothers died, forty-one were seriously injured, and the rest were all injured. Even Wu commanded you, and he was also injured in many places. ”
"The last time Liaogou attacked the city, we lost hundreds of troops, and this time we lost more than 100 troops, and there are only more than 200 people who can fight." Wu Ji's brows twisted into a Sichuan character, and there was a layer of mist in his eyes: "In these two battles, there are so many casualties." That's half the downsizing. ”
The reduction of three percent of the staff is already very serious, and the reduction of half of the staff is very terrifying, Wu Ji took a breath, calmed his mind, and asked: "The heroes of Qiyun Society, how are the casualties?" ”
"Commander Meng Wu asked, compared to the conversion army, we are one hundred and twenty-six, and now, there are only eighty-four people who can fight. The rest are either dead or seriously injured. Qi Dabao's voice was extremely sad.
After being silent for a long time, Wu Ji sighed: "It's just slightly better than us." ”
"Commander Wu, don't be sad, the brothers died well." Qi Dabao comforted: "We are facing five thousand elite Liao dogs, and it would be good to be able to defend the city of return." Not to mention, we still won a big battle. We used the price of reducing 167 people in exchange for the victory of 5,000 Liao dogs, a 30 Liao dogs, worth it! ”
According to the calculation of the battle casualties, in this battle, the Conversion Army created a miracle, not only a miracle of the Song Dynasty, but also not too many in Chinese history.
"yes, it's worth it!" Huangfu Song hurriedly comforted: "In the hundreds of years of war, Liaogou pressed us to fight, when did you raise your eyebrows so much?" It is important to live, but if there is something more important than living, you can not have this life! Let the Liao dog die, let the Liao dog die more, what is this life? ”
This is the voice of the people of the Song Dynasty, but it is a pity that the Song Dynasty is incompetent and cannot transform this mood into the power of the landslide and the sea.
"Huh!"
Mrs. Zheng came quickly, but before anyone arrived, laughter came first: "Commander Wu, a great victory!" What a victory! Do you know how many things we seized this time? If nothing else, it's a war horse, that's the number. ”
He raised three fingers, and his voice suddenly turned high: "More than 3,000 war horses!" The horses of the northern kingdom, tall and godlike, are far from being comparable to the horses of the Great Song Dynasty. More than 3,000 war horses were captured at one time, which has never happened in the history of the Great Song Dynasty! ”
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and his voice became a little shrill and harsh.
"Good! Commander Wu, don't you say that you have always wanted to form cavalry? Now, we can train the cavalry! Huangfu Song applauded loudly.
Wu Ji had long wanted to form a cavalry, but because there were no war horses, he never made the trip. Now, more than 3,000 war horses have been captured, and the formation of cavalry is ironclad.
