Chapter 310: Sanchuan Village [II]
Chapter 310 Sanchuan Village [II] Although the Western Xia Army is divided into two parts, the Western Xia Army of nearly 10,000 people is divided into two parts, and that one is more than the Song Army.
What's more, Wang Bing gave up sticking to Xiaogou Village, but pondered looking for an opportunity to cross Xiaogou. Li Yuanhao saw Wang Bing's intentions at a glance.
Li Yuanhao was very clever and did not choose to fight hard, but ordered the Western Xia army to be divided into two divisions and constantly harass the Song army with bows and arrows.
Although the bow and crossbow of the Song army are powerful, the Western Xia army is riding on horseback, galloping like the wind, and the bow and crossbow of the Song army are ten times missed, even if they are hit.
But there is an embarrassing thing, the armor of the Western Xia army is actually harder than the armor of the Song army, and the arrows can only hurt but not kill.
And the Song soldiers below are not how Wang Bing commands, they do what they do. If you can't fight back just by being beaten, who can accept it?
Therefore, in the cavalry of the Western Xia army, the formation of the Song army slowly became scattered, and many soldiers were attracted by the Western Xia army and rushed out of a distance, trying to kill the Western Xia army more by shortening the distance.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Yuanhao waved a big hand with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. The infantry of the Western Xia army attacked, everyone was covered in heavy armor, and on the other side was the cavalry attack.
It's as if a man holds a shield in one hand and a sharp spear in the other. The Song army did not last long before being routed by the Western Xia army.
Fortunately, Liu Jizong also arrived at this time, Liu Jizong had 3,000 men and horses under his command, but it was just a small ditch that was not wide, but at this moment, Song Jun had a feeling that he was close to the end of the world.
If there was no Xiao Gou, they would have launched a charge from behind the Western Xia army at this moment, and they could have defeated the Western Xia army.
Seeing Liu Jizong coming, Li Yuanhao's eyes flashed with a touch of triumph, and he glanced at the flag commander beside him.
The intensity of the Western Xia army's offensive immediately slowed down. And at the same time. Because I saw Liu Jizong coming. The soldiers of the Song Army, who were in a state of collapse, also perked up and immediately regrouped their formation.
In the strange atmosphere, the Western Xia army was beaten by the Song army and slowly retreated, which made Liu Jizong overjoyed!
Previously, Xiao Gou had no way to do it on his own, but now as long as Wang Bing's Song Army is involved in Li Yuanhao, he will kill him from behind.
Isn't that a big deal? The marquis doesn't dare to count on it, but he must be a soldier and a horse all the way!
The more Liu Jizong thought about it, the more excited he became, and immediately ordered: "Wade across the river with all your might!" The adjutant general said, "Metropolitan Supervisor." Although it was autumn now, it was already late autumn, and the river was cold, and after the soldiers crossed the river, they were afraid that it would be very cold. Why don't you immediately have people cut down trees nearby and build a pontoon bridge! This Xiao ditch is only so big, it won't take long! Liu Jizong said with a cold gaze: "It won't take long?" There is nothing wrong with this, but you have also read the book of soldiers, you must know that soldiers are fast! Throughout the ages, how many generals have stained the battlefield with blood and retreated with their heads? Isn't it because the defeat was not quickly seized! The Battle of Guandu at the beginning. If it weren't for Yuan Shao's fear of wolves and tigers, how could Cao Cao have the opportunity to defeat the strong with the weak! Today is a good time to defeat Western Xia! Such a pontoon bridge was paved. I'm afraid that the Xixia thief is already ready! You don't need to say more, immediately go down and urge the soldiers to quickly cross the Xiao ditch! Seeing that Liu Jizong didn't listen to his words, the deputy general had no choice but to nod and agree.
At this time, the Song army was very chaotic, and many soldiers were unwilling to wade across the river like this. People who have not been in the water in late autumn do not know how cold the water is at this time, and it can be said that when people go down, their nails will turn purple when they come up.
In order to hurry up, Liu Jizong also ordered his own tooth soldiers, that is, his own soldiers to drive away with sticks, once a procrastinating soldier appeared, he immediately added sticks, and the soldier who hit him fell to the ground only with the strength to scream and roll.
Under the high pressure, although the soldiers of the Song army were dissatisfied in their hearts, they had to wade across the river at this moment.
When the soldiers of the Song Army had almost crossed the river, the beard on Li Yuanhao's face became stretched.
"Attack!" At the sound of the order, not long after crossing the river, and before the queue was formed, many soldiers trembled with spears in their cold hands.
A thousand cavalry of the Western Xia Army was like a sharp sword that shot out, piercing directly into the headquarters of Liu Jizong of the Song army.
Liu Jizong couldn't have imagined that the Western Xia Army reacted so quickly, wasn't it still reversed by Wang Bing's department before?
It's just that he can't think about it too much, the Western Xia army has already rushed in. Although the number of the Western Xia army was small, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry was several levels higher than that of the infantry.
The only thing infantry can rely on to deal with cavalry is two, terrain or formation. You don't have to think about the former, the area around Xiaogou is all plain, flat and mountainless.
In the other formation, the soldiers had just waded through the Xiao ditch, and everyone was so cold that they were fighting, and the speed of the formation was dragging on.
Although Liu Jizong saw it in his eyes, he could only be anxious in his heart. Liu Jizong can be the capital prisoner, no matter how useless he is, he will not really be like Zhao Kuo, he will only talk on paper.
There is nothing wrong with strict military law, but it also depends on the situation. Just now, Liu Jizong had already let the soldiers wade through the Xiaogou under high pressure, and now if the soldiers are forced by military law, they will mutiny.
This is also a system made up by the Song Dynasty, the generals do not know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals. Although Liu Jizong was a capital eunuch, he was not in charge of the training of soldiers in peacetime, and he could only come into contact with most of the soldiers when he was fighting and sending troops.
Under the impact of the Western Xia cavalry, Liu Jizong's troops were quickly cut into several large pieces, and the follow-up Western Xia troops immediately swarmed in.
Liu Jizong had no choice but to cut off the tail of the gecko and ordered to abandon some of the soldiers, and the other soldiers retreated across Xiaogou again.
Wang Bing is not stupid there, Liu Jizong ordered a retreat, and he has already led his troops to wade through the water to retreat. How could Li Yuanhao be willing to let the fat in front of him just leave?
"Chase!" Li Yuanhao decisively ordered, and the horse whip pointed out, and thousands of troops obeyed. The soldiers of the Western Xia army shouted excitedly, roaring out a language full of savagery, and the cavalry took the lead in entering the water, muddying the river trampled by the blood-stained Xiaogou.
But today, God seems to feel that Liu Jizong and Wang Bing are too unlucky, and they need to be supplemented.
When Li Yuanhao was crossing the river, a hoof of the war horse under his crotch fell into the mud, his body was unbalanced, and he rolled over into the river with a neigh.
Where would Li Yuanhao think of happiness and sorrow? All thoughts fell on how to pursue the Song army and calculate the enemy.
Although Li Yuanhao's riding skills and martial arts are also good, but when he is caught off guard, where can he react?
At that moment, he followed the war horse into the icy Xiao ditch and drank a few sips of turbid river water. The nearby Xixia Iron Harrier soldiers were shocked when they landed, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted to rescue Li Yuanhao.
Icy river water. Plus choked on a few mouthfuls of murky river water. Li Yuanhao fell into a semi-comatose state. The soldiers shouted a few words, but they only muttered a few vague words.
When the generals who came nearby saw this, they were shocked, where did they still have the heart to pursue the Song army?
Immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Not long after Mingjin withdrew his troops, Li Yuanhao spit out a few mouthfuls of river water, and people came to their senses.
The Western Xia fierce general Yeli Wangrong interjected at this time: "Your Majesty, did you order to hunt down the Song army again?" It's too late to chase and kill now! "Although Li Yuanhao has just woken up.
But in a few words, he already knew what had happened during his short coma. After thinking about it, his pale face showed a little helplessness, and said, "This is probably the will of heaven, no need to chase it anymore!" For the generals, the most taboo is to change the order every day, just now Mingjin withdrew the troops, and now let the soldiers fight, it will mess up the morale of the army! And those Song dogs are already lost dogs, so there is nothing to be afraid of! ”
"Alright then!" Yeli Wangrong said with regret.
"Don't be sorry! Aren't there still two Song armies? Li Yuanhao's pale face showed a ruthless look.
Ye Li Wang was in good spirits when he ascended. That's right! The Song army is divided into four routes! At that moment, Nori Wangrong took the lead in asking for battle.
"Your Majesty, please let the last general send troops!" Li Yuanhao thought for a moment. nodded and said: "In this way, you lead the people of the headquarters, and I will allow you another 2,000 soldiers and horses to clean up Li Wei's department!" After a pause, Li Yuanhao shouted in a weak voice: "Langyu! What about my brother? ”
"General Lang Yu just led his troops to chase and kill, and he hasn't come back yet, so the little one will send someone to inform him!" Li Yuanhao's confidants reported in a low voice.
"Call him at once!" Li Yuanhao said. Yeli Wangrong glanced at the departing admirer and said, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing to do, I will go and lead the troops to fight those Song dogs!" ”
"Well, go ahead! Although Song Dog is weak, the rabbit is in a hurry, and he can also bite a piece of meat on the most ferocious wolf! Li Yuanhao squinted his eyes, pulled the felt wrapped around him, and said weakly.
"Your Majesty will rest assured!" Yeli Wangrong said yes, and then turned his head and left. When Yeli Wangrong left, Zhang Yuan patted the dust on Li Yuanhao's felt, lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to make the Great Xia Kingdom stronger, you must pay a heavy salute!" The Western Zhou Dynasty Zhou Gongdan established a weekly ceremony, and the world returned to the heart! Rites are a model for a country, and King Yeli Wangrong is too casual, how can you establish your high status, Your Majesty? Li Yuanhao waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "It's just a small section, I remember that Mr. said that those who achieve big things are not informal." Zhang Yuan did not refute, but nodded calmly.
Although he had just followed Li Yuanhao, Zhang Yuan knew some of Li Yuanhao's small moves. Don't look at Li Yuanhao's disapproving look just now, in fact, when Li Yuanhao listened to Zhang Yuan's words just now, he opened his mouth slightly to breathe, and sipped it tightly, and the nearby muscles tensed.
Although soon this movement was gone, the mouth opened slightly again. Maybe Li Yuanhao didn't feel it, but Zhang Yuan knew that this was one of the characteristics of Li Yuanhao's inner annoyance.
There is no doubt that Li Yuanhao is not as magnanimous as he said for Yeli Wangrong. It didn't take long for Li Yuanhao's younger brother, Wei Minglangyu to arrive.
"Big brother! You're okay, right? Wei Minglang came with a nervous face, sweat on his face.
"Don't worry, it's just a small problem! You bring your troops and horses now, and I will give you another 2,000 men and horses, and you will deal with the Song dog led by Han Timu! Li Yuanhao couldn't help but feel warm when he saw Wei Minglangyu, but the business was important, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was an order.
Wei Minglang immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and said proudly: "Yes!" Big brother, I'm going to destroy this Song dog! Zhang Yuan bowed his head slightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's move is also the great goodness of the country!" Li Yuanhao listened, showed a meaningful smile, and did not speak.
If according to the most capable generals in Western Xia at present, it is nothing else, it is Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi, from the name it can be seen that the two of them have a ** kinship relationship, these two are not only relatives, but also brothers.
It is the brother of Li Yuanhao's wife, Ye Lishi. And the status of the two is very high, Western Xia is divided into three parts, namely the Su Guards and the left and right compartments, originally the left and right compartments were controlled by Li Yuanhao's uncle Shan Yu Weiliang and Shan Yu Weiyong respectively.
However, in the year when Li Yuanhao became emperor, Shan Yu Weiliang thought that Western Xia was just a land of projectiles, and if he called the emperor against the Song Dynasty, it would be self-defeating.
So he fled to Yanzhou in the Song Dynasty with his family and henchmen, but unfortunately Guo Quan, the governor of Yanzhou at that time, was afraid of Li Yuanhao's revenge, and thought that Shan Yu Weiliang might be doing something detailed, so he gave Shan Yu Weiliang to Li Yuanhao, who led the troops to chase after him.
This also caused the Song Dynasty to lose a general who had great prestige in Western Xia and was familiar with the situation.
It also made the nobles and ministers of the Western Xia Dynasty who were the center of the Great Song Dynasty dare not defect to the Song Dynasty. Although in this matter, Li Yuanhao turned evil into good fortune, but he no longer trusted Shan Yu Weiliang's younger brother, Shan Yu Weiyong.
Instead, he appointed his brothers-in-law, Wild Glory and Wild Fortune, to serve as the commanders of the left and right wings.
Now the power of the Yeli family in Western Xia can be said to be tilted towards the government and the opposition. It stands to reason that it is most suitable to divide the two partial divisions, and there is no doubt that it is most suitable for the two brothers Yeli Wangrong and Yeli Yuqi to lead, but Li Yuanhao did not do so.
Instead, he used his younger brother Wei Ming Langyu as the commander, in order to help Wei Ming Langyu establish a family.
More importantly, the Song army that Wei Minglang encountered was the Song army composed of Fan soldiers, and the recognition of the Song Dynasty was not high, and it was the easiest to deal with.
It's okay for these soldiers to fight against the wind, but it's hanging in the air to fight against the wind. Zhang Yuan walked out of the tent and stretched outside.
The voice of Wu Hao, a friend who also came to defect to Li Yuanhao, sounded on the side.
"Zishi, I suddenly feel that Xixia can't do anything!" Zhang Yuan glanced sideways at Wu Hao standing behind him, and saw Wu Hao's slightly thin cheeks, exuding a gloomy gaze, Zhang Yuan's heart welled up with some complicated feelings.
Since entering Western Xia, Wu Hao has slowly become depressed from his original ambition, although he is as valuable as Zhang Yuan as Li Yuanhao's confidant.
It's just that Wu Hao doesn't know whether he deliberately hides his talent, or Jiang Lang's talent, and he doesn't say anything about Li Yuanhao's suggestions, and many strategies have become very chicken.
And although Li Yuanhao didn't say anything on the surface, his trust in Wu Hao was also decreasing.
"Is it because of the matter of Nori Wangei?" Zhang Yuan turned around, looked at his friend, and said slowly. (To be continued.)
