Chapter 310: Sanchuan Village [I]

"But even so, it's not easy to lose!" Zhao Yu was very keen to grasp the key point.

When the lord of Kaiping Fort heard this, he smiled a little dryly, and said helplessly: "This is also a helpless thing, it is estimated that more than 1,000 of the 8,000 soldiers and horses died in the battle, and more than 2,000 were captured." In addition, many soldiers were reluctant to fight, and fled back to the countryside as stragglers, and finally gathered only about 2,000 soldiers, and only dared to echo each other across the river and Sanchuan Village. ”

Zhao Yu smiled angrily when he heard this, and said, "Echo each other? Across the river, they still want to echo each other, is it really the king but those civil officials who have not fought a war? Just crossing the river, to say the least, will take half an hour, such a long time is enough for the Western Xia army to retreat calmly. Where do you want to echo each other? And will these defeated troops still dare to cross the river? At most, it is to contain two or three hundred cavalry of Western Xia thieves in the war! ”

The Kaiping Fort Lord smiled dryly again, and said stupidly: "That...... On the document sent, the document said this, Lord Wang, Lord Don't be too obsessed with this little problem! ”

Zhao Yu also knew the thoughts of these defeated troops, and he didn't want to take a little credit before he was held accountable afterwards. Not to mention whether you can turn the punishment into credit, you have to make up for it, and when you are punished by the court in the future, life will be better!

Shaking his head, Zhao Yu sighed, mourning his misfortune in his heart, and having less thoughts of anger. Is it possible that such a Song army can defeat the Western Xia army?

"How's the follow-up?" Zhao Yu asked a little weakly.

"The Western Xia thieves have heard that the Western Xia thieves have begun to retreat!" When the lord of Kaiping Fort said this, he was not without complacency.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but be stunned. What's wrong with this Li Yuanhao? Won the battle and actually retreated? Could it be that when he was at war with Yang Baoji, the inspector of the Zhenrong Army West Road. Lost a lot of soldiers and horses? Zhao Yu for this possibility. Didn't have much confidence.

Seeing the puzzled look on Zhao Yu's face, the Kaiping Fort Lord said triumphantly: "It was Liu Dujian who came here, and he had already led the troops and horses to pursue in four directions!" In addition, the commander of the Jingyuan Road Metropolitan Prison and the Shengjie Army, General Wang Qi, also led 3,000 men and horses to come, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach Kaiping Fort tomorrow! ”

Zhao Yu didn't pay much attention to the words behind the Kaiping Fort Lord, but immediately caught the key. "You just said that Liu Jizong came with his troops and divided his troops to chase and kill Li Yuanhao?"

The Kaiping Fort Lord nodded triumphantly and said, "Yes!" The soldiers are divided into four ways, covering them like a net from heaven to earth. This time, I will definitely discipline the Xixia thief chief Li Yuanhao to know that my Great Song is powerful, maybe I can catch the Xixia thief chief Li Yuanhao, haha! That's a great thing! ”

Zhao Yu didn't pay attention to it, but immediately asked with a nervous face: "How to divide the troops into four ways?" ”

The lord of Kaiping Fort blinked his eyes and said, "This last general is not very clear, but I know that Liu Jizong's capital prison department started from Chen Jiamo and took the line of Shihe Fort. In addition, there is Wang Bingdu, who takes a section from Pengbao to Xiaogou. ”

On the way here, Zhao Yu had already repeatedly inspected the map of the Zhenrong Army, no less than a hundred times. Listen to the words of the lord of Kaiping Castle. You don't need to take out a map, just estimate it in your heart. His face changed suddenly. There is a small river called Xiaogou between Chenjiamo and Xiaogou for a while, don't look at it as a small river, it is now winter. The weather was cold, and if a soldier waded across the river, he would not be able to hold his weapon, which was cold all over.

This is still the situation after crossing the river, because of the cold on the way to cross the river, the soldiers' feet are frozen, and it is estimated that they will not be able to go there soon. Moreover, the distance between the two places is not very close, a full twenty-seven miles away, and the cavalry is enough, if it is infantry, even a rapid march will take an hour to arrive.

And the Western Xia army is the best at fighting a quick war, whether it is the battle that won Jin Mingqi to open the gate of Yanzhou, or the battle of Haoshuichuan, which made the Northern Song Dynasty lose tens of thousands of elite border troops, it is not long! Jin Mingqi went down one day, and the Song army was defeated on the first day of the Battle of Haoshuichuan, and led the troops to retreat to the nearby hills to hold on. The next day, he changed the tactics of being attacked by the Western Xia army, and attacked from behind with strong troops to take down the Song army.

Even the battle of Sanchuanzhai that broke out not long ago was not long, this war of nearly 20,000 people. The Zhenrong Army, which led about 8,000 Song soldiers, inspected Yang Baoji on the West Road for one day, and was defeated by the Western Xia Army, and he died in the battle.

Although the distance of this hour is compact, with the ability of the Western Xia army to fight quickly, who dares to say that when the Western Xia army concentrated its forces to attack all the way, there was no possibility of solving the Song army all the way in an hour? After solving this road of the Song army, although the Western Xia army was tired, the endurance of the Fan people was stronger than that of the Song people, and the Song army also had cold hands and feet after wading across the river. In this case, the strength was not necessarily better than that of the tired Western Xia army.

If you solve this road to support, there are only two people left, do you still need to be afraid?

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Yu knew that something was wrong!

I didn't care about explaining the powerful relationship with the lord of Kaiping Castle, now time is like a lit arquebus, and at the other end of the arquemble is a pile of powder kegs. Even a second of time can change the tragedy.

"Lord Wang!" The lord of Kaiping Fort looked at Zhao Yudeng, who didn't say a word and turned to leave, with a stunned face. Afraid that he was not doing well somewhere, the master of Kaiping Fort could not be etiquette, and wanted to reach out and pull Zhao Yu's sleeve.

It's just that what he pulled was a cloud of air, and Zhao Yu had already rushed out of the hall like a gust of wind. Zhao Yingwu had already gone to bed, and now those who stayed by Zhao Yu's side were Zhao Xun, who was holding on to sleep, and two soldiers of the Back Wei Army.

"Lord Wang? What's wrong? Zhao Xun didn't pay attention to the conversation in the living room, sitting on a stone bench placed in the courtyard outside the living room, and the two soldiers of the Beiwei Army stood to the side.

"Something is wrong! Blow the horn immediately! Zhao Yu said almost roaringly.

Although Zhao Xun was extremely curious about what was going on, he knew even more that what he needed most now was to blow the horn immediately, instead of asking the question in his heart.

Zhao Xun pulled out the horn from his waist without saying a word. "Toot! Honk! Honk! ”

The loud sound of brass horns sounded over Kaiping Fort, and soon the sound of metal horns sounded in several other places as well. This is what the sentry hears and blows to ensure that all the soldiers can hear the horn as much as possible.

"Assemble! Gather! Bunnies, get up! ”

"Get up! Get up! The kung fu of a cup of tea is gathered, and one pass is less than twenty whips! Two passes are less than twenty military sticks! The three links are not cut immediately! ”

The shouts came and went, and Kaiping Fort was like a pot of boiling hot oil, pouring a scoop of cold water, and with a "what" sound, it instantly boiled violently.

"Lord Wang! What the hell is going on? But the last general is not well entertained there? At this moment, the lord of Kaiping Fort had also chased out of the living room, and looked at Zhao Yu with a nervous face, lest he hear a word of dissatisfaction from Zhao Yu's mouth.

Zhao Yu showed a slightly apologetic smile to the lord of Kaiping Castle and said, "The lord of the castle is polite, it is this king who has discovered the problem and needs to rush to the battlefield!" ”

The lord of Kaiping Fort is not a stupid person, and asked: "Lord Wang, but where is Sanchuan Village?" ”

Zhao Yu thought about it, didn't hide it, nodded and said, "Yes!" This king felt that the retreat of the Western Xia army this time was definitely not because he was afraid of Liu Jizong's 10,000-strong army, but because of the advance! And Liu Jizong actually divided his soldiers into four ways, isn't this equivalent to letting go of his fist and exposing five fingers to fight with the other party? Do you think you can win this way? ”

The lord of Kaiping Fort was skeptical, and persuaded him: "Lord Wang, maybe you guessed wrong, right?" And if you go in such a hurry, if everything goes well with Liu Dujian, I am afraid that Liu Dujian will think that the prince despises him! ”

Although the words of the Kaiping Fort Lord were very negative, they were all for Zhao Yu's good. The implication is that if you go, you may be resented, but if you don't go, there will be nothing, and no one will blame Zhao Yu for this.

Zhao Xun couldn't help but interject at this time: "Lord Wang, what happened to you?" Your lord, you will order the trumpet to be blown? ”

Generally, the trumpet is blown when the rest time has arrived, and the trumpet is blown before the rest time has come. That must mean that something terrible has happened to make Zhao Yu give this order!

"You go and bring this king's Que Yue black horse over!" Zhao Yu assigned a soldier of the Back Wei Army to do things, and only then did he answer Zhao Xun's question. "It's Sanchuan Village! Yang Baoji, the patrol of the Zhenrong Army's West Road, was defeated in Sanchuan Village, and he was also captured by the Western Xia Army. Liu Jizong led an army of 10,000 to arrive, but Li Yuanhao did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but led people to retreat. ”

"Isn't that good?" Zhao Xun asked puzzled.

Zhao Yu looked angry, and said angrily: "It's good? Do you think that with Li Yuanhao's wolf ambitions, he will be willing to retreat like this? There's got to be a trick! What's even more infuriating is that Liu Jizong, an idiot, didn't know what the reason was, and his soldiers pursued Li Yuanhao in four directions. Does this idiot really think that this can be dealt with like this, Li Yuanhao? The whole army can't necessarily deal with Li Yuanhao when they are gathered together, let alone the soldiers are divided into four ways? ”

Zhao Xun's face stiffened when he heard this, and he was a little gloomy. Liu Jizong was introduced to Zhao Yu by him, but he didn't expect to leave such an impression in Zhao Yu's heart at this moment.

Noticing Zhao Xun's expression at the moment, Zhao Xun was also a little apologetic, and he didn't seem to care about Zhao Xun's mood. deliberately diverted the topic and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, Da Lang, you should go and get ready to fight immediately!" This king went to see how the soldiers were assembled! ”

After that, Zhao Yu had already stepped out.

The Kaiping Fort Lord sighed a little helplessly, looked up at the sky that had become gloomy and gloomy at some point, and muttered, "Could it be that the Song army is going to be defeated again?" (To be continued.) )
