Chapter 137: The Enemy Cavalry Attack Is Frustrated

Seeing that the three hundred-man teams did not attack well, they instead left dozens of corpses under the wall. began to feel that it was very easy to clean up a fortress guarded by the regimental training army, and the expression of the Western Xia Thousand Cavalry General was not as calm as before.

Giving the order to the guards behind him, three more hundred-man teams were added to increase their own attack strength. In this situation, he can only rely on the numerical advantage to fight the opponent's regimental training army with fewer numbers than him.

Looking at the reinforcements of the three hundred-man teams, Zhao Xiaoxi still sat on the side platform here, and commanded Zhao Da. A regiment of 100 men, which served as a reserve, was divided into three groups and also reinforced.

The thirty people who were reinforced, all of whom were regimental training troops who specialized in archery training in the regimental training army. After the replenishment is in place, although the shield hand sometimes can't defend, the counterattack of the regimental training army is also strengthened.

Seeing the increase in troops on his side, the number of archers in this fortress also increased. Under such a small wall, more people means more casualties. Although you can see the regimental training army, they keep falling down with arrows.

But the cavalry attack team of Western Xia, the number of casualties is also increasing. Looking at the thousand-man cavalry general who had already killed and injured a cavalry of more than 100 people, the anger in his heart could be imagined.

The thousand-man cavalry general, who knew that this battle could not be delayed for a long time, finally couldn't sit still and watch the battle in the rear. With the rest of the cavalry, they began to sweep in and launch a final general attack.

Seeing that all those cavalry rushed over, Zhao Xiaoxi naturally sent all the reserve troops to the fortress wall for defense. As for him, in front of those Fanbang cavalry who rushed over, he also cut off Tuoba Yu's other ear.

The stimulated Fanbang cavalry screamed even more, and even began to storm under the wall. For a time, the pressure on regimental training has also increased a lot, and the number of casualties on both sides has also increased.

Seeing Zhao Xiaoxi coming to the frontal wall, Zhao Xiaoxi also became the main target of the siege of these Western Xia cavalry. Waves of arrows. They all shot in the direction where Cho Hyo-seok was standing.

Zhao Da and Zhao Er, who were carrying shields, acted as shield bearers. As for Zhao Xiaoxi, in such a dense siege, he once again showed his archery skills that excited the officers and soldiers of the regimental training and frightened the Western Xia cavalry outside the fortress.

Compared with other archers, only two or three of the ten arrows could hit a Fanbang cavalryman under the wall, Zhao Xiaoxi, who had three arrows in one hand. It can be described as an arrow killing. The number of Rangers who died in front of them for a while was also increasing rapidly.

I already knew that Zhao Xiaoxi was the emperor's prince, and he personally appeared in this kind of border place and led them to train the army to fight. The officers and men of the regimental training army naturally felt very honored, and the intensity of the counterattack was also strengthened a lot.

Seeing that there were continuous casualties among the regimental training troops on the wall, but the number of cavalry under his command was also rapidly increasing, the thousand-man cavalry general was naturally very angry. Constantly commanding, the cavalry stood up and shielded to break the gate of the fortress.

In the case of this exacerbation. Zhao Xiaoxi waved at the group of people behind. The improvised objects quickly came in handy, and the round boulders were moved to the shelves.

As an old man with pale hair yelled, "Put! ”

A few young men immediately loosened the rope of their hands, and the big stone placed in a flat basket flew over the wall. Looking at the boulder that fell from the sky, these Fanbang cavalry with shields were also horrified.

Roared: "Flying Stone, be careful! ”

These are a few improvised stone throwers. The shock brought to the rangers outside the wall was far greater than the regimental training army that could not be attacked on the wall for a long time. It makes them even more afraid. Although the stone was not too important, it fell from the sky, keeping the shield from breaking and dying.

Looking at this small fortress, there is such a thing as a stone thrower, and the thousand people of Xixia are also puzzled. When, this kind of stone thrower that only appears in big cities. In this little fortress also appeared?

Although only five or six stones fell from the sky at a time, the kind of stones that were uncertain where they would fall made the Rangers raise their shields to defend themselves. did not dare to charge like before, and the hope of getting close to the village was naturally shattered.

Looking at a fortress that had been attacked for a long time, the thousand cavalry generals were extremely unwilling to order the whole army to fight again. Exited the range of the archers on the wall. This retreat naturally made the regimental training army, which was under pressure, couldn't help but let out a roar of 'Wansheng'.

A regiment of about 500 people trained the army and was undefeated against a cavalry team of 1,000 people in Fanbang. If this spreads, I'm afraid it will fall the attention of a lot of city defense troops! It also caused at least two or three hundred casualties on the other side, which is really a big victory!

Listening to the cheers of the victory of the regimental training army on the wall, the people staying in the pergola below couldn't help but be happy. Even the worries caused by the war dead who were removed from the ramparts have been diluted a lot at this moment.

Compared with the excitement of these people training with the regiment, Quartz, who is a regimental training army, looked at the combat exploits recorded by the stationed officers. I feel that with the reward for these military exploits, I am afraid that everyone can almost get a lot of reward money for the regimental training army that is usually poor.

Even a few people who helped operate the stone throwing machine heard the stones they threw out earlier and killed a dozen Fanbang cavalrymen. According to the calculation standard of a Fanbang cavalry, three times the reward money. Each of these people will receive at least the same amount of money.

With the expectation of rewarding money for war achievements, coupled with Zhao Xiaoxi's previous statement, whether the regiment was killed or wounded in this battle, the army was trained. The families of these soldiers who died in the war also felt that their relatives had exchanged for the rest of their good lives.

Compared with the past, which was not recognized by the imperial court, most of them, the soldiers who trained the army, would not get anything if they died in battle. At most, it can ensure that the family living in the village does not have to be captured by the Fanbang cavalry.

In today's battle, Zhao Xiaoxi opened his mouth, and this pension can also be issued according to the standard of the border army. This also means that those who died in the past died in vain, and today they finally have some comfort in dying in battle.

Although Cho Hyo-seok knows that relying on this kind of material reward stimulation alone is not a good thing. But for these poor border people's families, if a young and strong person dies in battle, if he can get a dozen taels of pension.

With this silver, at least the family can live a good life for a few years. It can also make them feel some comfort in their hearts after their relatives leave. It will not make them feel the grief and indignation of dying in vain.

When the officers and men of the regimental training were excited, the cavalry officers and men, who were the main force this time, did not care much about this kind of military feat. For them, the most urgent thing at the moment is to adapt to the battlefield.

And this actual combat command made these young cavalry officers and men really understand. The high-intensity training in the cavalry can really save their lives on the battlefield.

Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi, who was the general, these cavalry officers and soldiers who were not injured at all also felt that this battle was too happy. With a group of regiments to train the army, they can fight back with a thousand horsemen. What if they were all replaced by their cavalry?

Compared with the excitement of these regimental training troops and cavalry subordinates, Zhao Xiaoxi came to Tuoba Yu's side again, and said to Tuoba Yu, who had no ears in sight: "Tuoba Gongzi, do you still think that my Great Song people are weak and can be bullied?" ”

Facing Tuoba Yu's angry gaze, Zhao Xiaoxi ignored it, and directly asked Zhao Da to lead the regiment to start shouting to those Western Xia cavalry. If you don't have the courage to attack, hurry up and roll as far as you can, and these Western Xia cavalry who are stimulated are also thunderous.

Seeing that the sky was gradually starting to darken, the scout officer standing beside the thousand generals suddenly said, "General, why don't we rest now and attack at night." At night, their archers could not be accurate in the daytime.

As long as we break through the other party's walled gate with all our might, won't the people inside let us torture and kill? Now let them be arrogant, and at night give them another profound lesson.

Even if we really can't, as long as we rush back to the Yellow River tomorrow morning, these people won't be able to do anything to us. The previous attack has already made the brothers too tired, so it is better to take a break and eat something. How about waiting for another battle in the evening? ”

Seeing that the attack had not made any progress for a long time, the scout officer also reminded him in time to take a break for the time being. Don't be in a hurry, there's still a night to prepare.

For the time being, the thousand cavalry generals who couldn't think of a good way could only order the troops to dismount and eat some dry food to replenish their physical strength. Wait until it gets dark before launching an assault on the fortress.

When they were in the dark, the other party had to stand in the open to defend and not prepare them to defend with a shield. In this way, the chances of success will undoubtedly increase significantly.

As long as they can successfully take the other party's walled gate, even if they are short-handed, he believes that the final victory belongs to their side. What's more, although they lost two hundred-man troops in the battle, now their cavalry still numbered nearly eight hundred.

With this confident Fanbang soldier, he had to temporarily dismount and eat. It's just that when they began to dismount and eat, Zhao Xiaoxi turned to Zhao Dadao: "Shoot arrows, let those rabbit cubs move, you can't let these people rest like this." ”

With this command, Zhao Da took a longbow and drew a ticking arrow from the quiver beside him. After the construction, it shot out into the distance, and the Western Xia cavalry who were frightening the sound of beeping also looked sideways.

Even if it's a regimental training army in the fortress, I don't understand what to do with such a tick arrow shooting at such a distance? However, they soon saw that on the plain where the Western Xia cavalry had gathered, a cavalry of about twenty people had appeared.

From the clothing of those cavalry, it can be seen that they are the same as the cavalry who advanced to the village first. Seeing these small groups of border cavalry appearing around him, the thousand generals who were also eating were also startled.

It's just that when he saw that this was just a small group of cavalry planning to harass, he was worried that he couldn't find anyone to be angry, so he immediately sent a similar number of rangers. These small troops of cavalry were driven and chased while watching them send troops in pursuit.

The small group of cavalry of the border army, like panicked rabbits, quickly turned their horses and began to gallop. In this way, looking at the regimental training army on the wall, I also felt that these border cavalry seemed to be too courageous. But is that really the case? (To be continued......)
