Chapter 163: Beacon Smoke in Hengshan (7)
Xia Jun's revenge is very strong, Yang Yi sent troops to cross Hengshan, and did a hard job in the east of Weizhou, judging by past habits, Xia Jun will definitely not let go of Yang Yi, a rising bird, this invasion, most of them will go towards Huanzhou.
Therefore, whether it is Zhe Keshi or Chongjianzhong, it is believed that Meile's 40,000 army will take the Hulu River and attack the Zhenrong army on Jingyuan Road.
The Zhenrong army is located on the left side of Huanzhou, to be precise, it is located in the southwest, the location of Huanzhou is further north than the Zhenrong army, if the sister takes the gourd river to attack the Zhenrong army, it is completely possible to turn the road to the east and attack the henchmen of Huanzhou.
But a current famous general and a future famous general in the construction of Zhe Keshi and Chongjian, this time they all judged wrongly, Meile deserves to be Meile, one of the best generals in the Western Xia Dynasty, he led an army of 40,000 to the south of the Hulu River first; When he arrived at the north of Wuyan Gorge, when everyone thought that he would attack Jingyuan Road, or turn east to find Yang Yi to take revenge, Meile's main force suddenly turned west and killed the Shunde army in the area of Haoshuichuan on Qinfeng Road along the western foot of Liupan Mountain. Beat the Song army by surprise, and even broke the victory, Longde, and Zhong'an three village protections.
Qinfeng Road, Jingyuan Road, Huanqing Road, the boundary of the three roads on the Xixia side is in the form of a ladder, the Huanzhou of Huanqing Road is the northernmost, the Zhenrong army of Jingyuan Road is a ladder shrunk than Huanzhou, and the Shunde army of Qinfeng Road is a step smaller than the Zhenrong army. In this way, Meile attacked Qin Feng's Shunde army, and if she turned east, she would be able to copy the back road of the Zhenrong army.
Zhang Qi also had to transfer troops and horses from the north to protect the flank in the southwest, but fortunately, Qinfeng Road was not all soft eggs, and there were also ruthless people.
Wang Dao, a very domineering name, literally explained as very powerful, very severe, his style of using soldiers and his name are basically the same, very domineering.
After Meile broke the three villages, Wang Dao rushed to Haoshuichuan with 4,000 Qin Fengjun, without saying a word, and immediately started a war, 4,000 against 40,000, Wang Dao fought against the water, and stubbornly withstood Meile's onslaught for a whole day, until it was dark, Wang Dao ordered to wade across the river and retreat across Haoshuichuan.
And the casualties on both sides of this battle were actually one to one, and a thousand corpses were also left behind. And it also gave Jingyuan Lu time to return to the flank.
The majestic momentum of the Xia army broke through the three villages for a while, like the waves crashing on the reef, and almost lost confidence in going deep into Qinfeng Road, but fortunately, Meile did not plan to spend the New Year in Qinfeng Road, after he set up the camp that night, he left only 1,000 men and horses, pretending to be 40,000 troops, and retreated with the army overnight, taking advantage of the strong power of the cavalry, and once again bypassing Liupan Mountain to attack the Zhenrong army.
Although the royal road is domineering, but on the first day of the battle, counting the wounded, nearly half of the loss, the second day is impossible to cross the river and fight again, looking across the river, only to see the summer army camp Sensen, the flag fluttering, people and horses in and out, until the night, after sending a fine work to close the investigation, only to learn that the Meile army has left.
After learning that he had been deceived, Wang Dao was furious, and while sending people to report the original road of Jingyuan, he waved his army across the river and stormed the Xia army camp overnight. Wang Dao led two hundred cavalry to chase and kill for thirty miles, and the beggars were bitter.
Besides, Meile played a trick to secretly cross Chencang, and after turning back to the Hulu River, he went straight to the Zhenrong army, after the Jingyuan Road troops returned to the flank, Zhe Keshi only had more than 10,000 horses left to defend the northern line, Zhe Keshi was ruthless, but he couldn't become a god, although he had won 100,000 with 10,000, but it was an ambush war, and he took advantage of the chaos to harvest human lives at night.
Now the strength is one to four, and he doesn't dare to be careless when he hits it head-on, he sticks to each village and doesn't come out, waiting for reinforcements from behind, the Xia army comes from afar, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it is for the Song army, and the fold is not in a hurry!
Meile couldn't help but be in a hurry, he waved his army to storm the Xining Village, Dingchuan Village, and Sanchuan Village of the Zhenrong Army, hoping to break the three cities in a row on Jingyuan Road, but he met a ruthless person in Xining Village; Chong Jianzhong, don't think that you can be bullied casually if you are not familiar with this name, although he may never change his name to Chongshi Dao, but what damage will there be to his military talent.
Breeders, beautiful breeders, fierce breeders, weird breeders.
When the Xia army was about to attack Xining Village, the gate of the village automatically opened, weird, creepy and weird, it took half a day for the Xia army to dare to enter the open gate.
Brother Yelijie was furious after receiving the report, and came to the gate of the village in person, and drove a few unlucky people into it with a knife, and the people who went in came out to report: No one! There's really no one!
Brother Yelijie was not at ease, and sent a group of people into the village to search carefully, there was meat on the beam, rice in the tank, chicken in the cage, firewood by the stove, water in the well, every household, pots and pans are readily available, there is everything in the entire Xining village, but there is no one!
No one, no one, I think it's because I saw that the Xia army was strong, and I was so scared that I ran away, just right, it's not early, it's time to eat and rest, people don't get off the saddle these days, I'm tired, I've eaten dry food for a few days, I'm tired, everything in Xining Village is ready-made, let's not be polite! Is it easy to come all the way to visit?
Brother Ye Lijie is still very careful, after he has done a lot of experiments, after making sure that the water and food in Xining Village are not poisonous, he let his soldiers enjoy it, and after the soldiers ate it, until the second watch day went to sleep, there was no adverse reaction, and Brother Ye Lijie was finally relieved.
But on the fourth watch, something happened, and Song Jun didn't know which mouse hole he came out of, Xining Village was originally theirs, one word, cooked!
You don't need to light the lamp and light the torch, you can also get into the room well, the front is bald, the two have braids, you can't make a mistake, it's time for the melon to ripen, one word: cut!
Brother Yelijie let people guard the wall, the guards can be regarded as strict, if you want to touch in from the outside, it is also difficult for birds to cross, but they don't know that the good bald heads in the village are unknowingly, they are harvested. Until a guy who got up to, he accidentally found that someone was doing a big "summer harvest" at night, and a loud howl broke the peace of Xining Village!
The big battle immediately started, where did the Xia Jun, who was terrified all night, dare to stay in the village, who knows when a sickle will appear behind him! Brother Yeli Jie immediately ordered it to be scattered; Song Jun took the opportunity to slash and kill with the tail, killing Xia Jun's farts and urine, although the bridge of Ye Lijie's nose collapsed, the escape speed was first-class, after running out of the city gate, he touched his bald head, fortunately, he was still there, and he was not "harvested" by Xia.
The next day the sun came out, the banner of the Song army fluttered again on the city of Xining, and Chong Jianzhong stood on the city gate tower, hundreds of bald heads lined up on both sides, and the facts with blood proved that the Song army's "summer harvest" work last night was fruitful.
Another Xia general, Wei Mingshan Cun, heard that Brother Yeli Jie was eating in Xining Village, and laughed rudely, and then wanted to make a fortune in a muffled voice, and waved his army to attack Dingchuan Village, Lao Tzu entered it in a dignified manner, and gave you a look at Brother Ye Lijie; As a result, the existence of Dingchuan Village in Weiming Mountain also touched Dingzi, it was Guo Cheng who defended Dingchuan Village, Xia Jun just attacked the wall, and smashed down twenty or thirty earth bombs in one go, the explosion sound was endless, and the lethality was still second, the Xia Army faced such a dense bombardment for the first time, the fire was flying, shrapnel was everywhere, the momentum was extremely scary, the Xia Army was bold, and did not rush to the wall, and retreated back like a tide.
Wei Mingshan saw this battle behind him, and he was also shocked, a little casualty, there were not many dead, nearly 100 wounded, and nearly 100 people were injured in one face, how can this battle be fought?
This is still good, this year is not like the era of the popularization of hot weapons, it is customary to charge in a skirmisher line, and nowadays the war is to charge in a dense formation, and I don't know how to lie down and dodge, if it is not for the armor on the body can effectively block the shrapnel, I am afraid that under this kind of intensive bombardment, the Xia army will be cut off like wheat.
After listening carefully to the description, Meile immediately gave up the storming of the walled fort and advanced, only by continuing to give full play to the advantages of his cavalry and constantly turning to the battle, he could always find the weak place of the Song army's defense.
Sister Le ordered, tens of thousands of troops crossed the periphery of several strong forts, to the south, but helpless, he could not hold out, the original intention was to drag Sister Le in the periphery, waiting for Zhang Ji's army to advance north again, but unfortunately Sister Le is like a ghost, slippery as oil, a slight setback to change the strategy.
Although it is dangerous for Meile to advance regardless of the back road, but now that the spring ploughing in the Song Realm has not been completed, if tens of thousands of Xia troops are allowed to burn all the way over, even if the people can avoid it, they will miss the agricultural time, and they have to gather men and horses out of the city and prepare to fight to the death with the Xia army. One to four, fighting on the inside, you may not be afraid of his sister!
Sister Le did not fight with him, but marched south in a muffled voice, cut down when he saw people, and bypassed the fort when he encountered a consolidated walled fort, and he could only sigh secretly at this time, it seems that cavalry is the king's road, although the Great Song Dynasty got tens of thousands of war horses last winter, but it is not that there are cavalry with war horses.
Now there are less than 2,000 cavalry in his hand, he is flying in the newspaper, and he is chasing after him with 2,000 cavalry on the other hand, and he will cut it when he catches up, and he will retreat as soon as the Xia army turns back, and the Xia army will chase after him, taking advantage of the familiar terrain and the easy supply of internal operations, like a vicious wolf, biting behind Meile.
Meile divided his troops several times to block, but he was able to get rid of them, and once he lured the Xia army after 2,000 breaks into the ambush circle of the infantry and fought a beautiful ambush battle.
On the other hand, Zhang Ji was not idle, Meile's tens of thousands of troops dared to attack Jingyuan Road regardless of the back road, which was simply the greatest contempt for him, he began to play the tactics of crowds, and the forbidden army, the box army, and the township soldiers were dispatched together to dig trenches on the roads that the Xia army might pass.
It is not difficult for tens of thousands of Xia troops to pass through this kind of trench, shoot at the township soldiers on this side of the trench, and then let people get off their horses and fill in the trench, and the time spent each time is only a cup of tea.
The problem is that the Song army's civil work ability is the best in the world, and it takes a cup of tea here and a cup of tea there, and gradually, Meile finds that his tens of thousands of troops are about to become people who fill the ditch.
Zhang Qi's purpose was to use these trenches to stabilize the Xia army's movement speed in order to complete his own encirclement layout.
As a famous general of Western Xia, Meile has experienced a hundred battles, and it is the first time he has encountered such a sinister and scoundrel style of play, and he thought that the first few trenches were the township soldiers' nonsense, and when it came to filling the ninth trench, Meile immediately smelled the smell of danger.
No, you can't go any further, but what about the back? Meile can think of half of his brain that there must be more tricks waiting for him in the back road, Zhang Qi, a ruthless man, has no intention of letting them go at all, and retreating the same way, I am afraid that it will be Song Jun's turn to fill the ditch and fill himself in the ditch.
Meile looked to the east with a heavy gaze, it seems that the time has come!
