Chapter 158: Hengshan Beacon Smoke (2)
Chong Pu fully understood the meaning of Yang Yi's order, and he took two thousand men and horses and did not go deep into the Xia realm, but stormed the various walled forts in Hengshan in Western Xia.
This time, a total of 5,000 men and horses were dispatched to Huanzhou, except for the road of Chongpu, the others were all 500 people in a battalion, scattered into the summer realm, and burned and looted as much as they wanted.
During the ninth year of the reign of Yuan You, under Gao's policy of tactful and benevolent to the outside world, almost no Song army entered the territory of Western Xia, which led to the Xia army being extremely arrogant and arrogant, and at the same time the fortifications were extremely lax.
In the past nine years, they have invaded the Song Realm, and the Song army has not dared to go out of the city to fight and defend! Do you need it?
After Zhao Zhao took office, he stopped giving Western Xia coins, and the situation between the two countries became tense, and the Xia army also consciously strengthened some precautions, but how could the lax habits developed in nine years be changed in one day?
In addition to Chongpu, the other five-way Song army directly crossed Hengshan and slashed everywhere, like the whole cavalry battalion led by Liu Laohu, all of which were killed outside Yaode City, which was less than two hundred miles away from Lingzhou, and the Xia army did not fully react, not even effective encirclement and suppression.
The two thousand men and horses of the planting Pu stormed the villages of Hengshan, but also devastated, invincible, four days, even under the four villages, and finally the soldiers returned to the Toad Village of the first line of Dechuan, this is the main walled fort of the Western Xia on the passage of the Guide River, built by the mountain, overlooking the passage on the bank of the Guide River, easy to defend and difficult to attack, once the fortress is captured, along the Guide River north to the West Xia there is no danger to defend, the Song army can directly attack the city of Yanzhou.
When the two thousand men and horses of Chongpu arrived at the toad village, the Xia army in the village was still in a panic, the generals shouted loudly, driving the soldiers to the city to defend, Chongpu almost couldn't believe his eyes, you must know that they have been sweeping the villages in the mountains for four days, and the toad village is the most important danger in the return to the Tochuan River, and there is no preparation at all? This...... What else is there to say about this!
Chong Pu immediately gave the siege order, and the two thousand Song troops except for the three hundred rear army all pressed up, and now there is no echelon attack, and the Xia army was caught off guard.
Airplanes...... Whether it is a divine arm bow or an ordinary bow and arrow, thousands of arrows are fired at once, like an overwhelming locust shooting towards the wall, the sharp arrow hits the shield and armor of the Xia army, crackling, if it is shot on the body, it is to bring up a puff of blood, and a miserable howl that resounded through the valley.
The wall of the toad village is less than two zhang high, and it is the people and horses of the Yeli Department who are responsible for defending here, and the guard Ye Lile brother saw that the Song army was rushing up under black pressure, and the ladders with barbs were erected on the wall, and his subordinates were still busy moving stones and trees to the city, and the hot oil pot had not yet lit a fire.
Damn, Brother Yelile's own anger was about to soar to the sky, and he couldn't stop scolding, shouting with a knife in one hand: "Quick! Fast! Come to the city, it's too late, you fucking don't hurry up and throw that damn wood, go to the city to block this wave of attacks from the Song army! Come on! ”
While! A strong arrow came, and Brother Wild Lele swung his knife to cut it, but the arrow was probably shot by the domineering divine arm bow, although Brother Wild Le Lek slashed the body of the arrow, but the strong arrow roared, just deflected a little, and still stubbornly shot into his left arm!
"General! Checkmate! How are you? ”
"Fuck off! Kill, kill the Song army......"
The fierce Ye Lile Ge actually put the arrow body on the city plate, suddenly swung his knife to cut off the tail of the arrow on his left arm, and then pounced to the right, cutting down a Song soldier who had climbed to the top of the wall and fell down the city.
Chong Pu under the city also saw that the Xia army was in a hurry to respond to the battle and the defense was extremely weak, so he shouted: "Beat the drum!" Boys! Kill me! ”
Although Chongpu is not known for his bravery, but at this time it is the best opportunity to capture the toad village in one go, if it can't be captured at one time, the Xia army is prepared, and if you want to capture this village with 2,000 people, it will be difficult! Therefore, Chong Pu did not hesitate to go into battle in person to boost morale.
Sure enough, in the rumbling drums, I saw that the main general personally rushed up with a knife, and the Song soldiers in front were all fearless of death, holding iron shields in their hands, biting steel knives in their mouths, and climbing up with their lives, and the archers under the city even crossed the cover of the shield bearers, and rushed forward to shoot the Xia army in the city near with a stream of arrows.
There are even soldiers who ignited the thunderbolt melon and smashed it directly into the city, the Xia army had armor on his body, and the grenade filled with black powder smashed it, in fact, the lethality was not great, and sometimes a grenade could not even kill a Xia army, but the rushing fire and smoke, as well as the thunderous explosion, could cause a great blow to the morale of the Xia army.
The whole valley was boiling, the Song army was like a flood flooding the city, the toad village was like a broken ship in the stormy waves, it could sink at any time, the sound of shouting and killing resounded in the sky, the smoke of gunpowder made the world dim, the height of less than two feet above and below the city, the vision became blurred; The corpses of the two armies were layered layer upon layer under the city, and the dark red blood clotted and was filled with new blood...... Toad Village is in a bloody battle, in fact, it is only ten miles away from Toad Village on the Hade Ridge, there are four hundred Xia troops of the Wei Ming clan, and the Xia general Wei Ming Shan Po also received the news that the Toad Village is in danger, but he did not move, and there was no intention of rescue.
The reason is very simple, the Yeli clan has been very close to the Liang family over the years, and they were in cahoots with Liang Yi at the beginning, and they did their best to exclude and suppress other tribes.
Wei Ming is nominally the royal family of Western Xia, but since Li Yuanhao, he has almost never mastered the imperial power, and the two queen dowagers of the Liang family, in order to control the imperial power, have repeatedly hit Wei Ming, and made Wei Ming's can be described as angry.
Now that Brother Ye Li Lek has been cleaned up by the Song Army, it is exactly what Wei Ming Shanpo is willing to see, exchanging a toad village for the 1,300 soldiers of the Li Ye family, it is worth it! Moreover, it is impossible for the Song army to occupy the toad village like this and not leave, and Wei Mingshan has already prepared to receive the toad village after the Song army retreats.
It's a pity that Wei Ming Mountain is destined to be a tragedy, when he looked at the toad village on Hade Ridge, he never dreamed that a Song army of 500 people would kill from behind him, you know, behind Wei Ming Mountain is the hinterland of Western Xia!
The commander of this Song army was called Liang Dingxin, and he honestly obeyed Yang Yi's military order this time, and never penetrated more than two hundred miles. Liang Dingxin's reputation in the Huanzhou Army is not well-known, and he is definitely not as scary as Liu Laohu.
But what does it matter? Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat!
This time he crossed the Hengshan Battle, Liang Dingxin's ruthlessness was by no means under Liu Wu, and there were no chickens and dogs left wherever he passed, and it could even be said that there was no grass, because Liang Dingxin liked to play with fire...... This time, he got the news that Chongpu led the army to attack Toad Village, and immediately cruised to the area of Hade Ridge, originally to help Chongpu to help, but he didn't expect to bump into the 400 Xia army in Weiming Mountain.
No way, I'm a wolf, I want to eat meat!
Liang Dingxin was killed behind his ass, and Wei Mingshan Pocai woke up like a dream, and he didn't even have time to organize effective resistance, so he was killed and collapsed...... In fact, even if the Xia army's combat strength is in a head-on battle, it can't beat the Western army, not to mention that the number of troops is less than a hundred, and it was suddenly attacked.
Yang Yi left Forrest Gump Mountain, but those huts were occupied by Su Dongpo, according to Lao Su, Yanjing has a great relationship, and now Caochuang, if you don't leave a chief official in charge, I'm afraid there will be chaos.
Yang Yi didn't reveal his careful thoughts, this girl is nostalgic for the elegance of the mountains, fishing by the stream, roaring with the people across the grass house after getting drunk, the rain and wet forest flowers can be poetry, the mountain shadow sleeps on the slanting rock, the fog disperses the morning sun, and the moon shines on the mountain and the birds cry...... What a beautiful thing! Yang Yi wants to!
It's a pity that he has to leave, the north of Hengshan has been in full swing, the daily battle report is like snowflakes flying, Su Dongpo can ignore the military, but he can't, judging from the battle report, this time five thousand men and horses crossed Hengshan, killing that is called a ruthless, south of Yanzhou, east of Weizhou, north of Hengshan This land was almost killed by Liu Wu and them into white land.
Each general has its own characteristics, Liu Laohu uses brute, Liang Dingxin uses fire, Xie Jingting uses poison, Lao Xie is almost fifty years old, and his heart is not softer than others.
This raid, the effect is the same as expected, Xixia has almost no defense, kill the past and cut people when they see them, Liu Laohu They are happy to cut in front, but Yang Yi has to help clean up the situation in the back, the party people have always been eager to report, how to deal with the subsequent retaliation of Xia Jun, this will be the biggest inducement for Yang Yi's next brain cell death.
Yang Yi and Yu Qingliang, the marquis of Yu in the army, spread out the map in the big tent, calculating little by little, how much time it would take for Western Xia to gather troops, which route it was most likely to take, when would their 5,000 men and horses be withdrawn, where would they be withdrawn, how much ordnance should be prepared, how much military grain and grass should be raised, where was the most suitable place to be used as a battlefield, and whether they could lure the Xia army to the ideal location...... Yang Yi suddenly felt that he should find a few staff officers, damn it, if he continued like this, he would have to die young before he grew old.
"Report! Lord Zhizhou, Zhenrong Army Zhijun has a reply! ”
Yang Yi didn't raise his head, took the letterbox from the messenger's hand, opened the letter paper and threw it to Yu Yingliang, and asked in a deep voice: "What about the Dingbian Army?" Hasn't Zhao Ruoming replied yet? ”
"Lord Zhizhou, not yet!"
"Time is not waiting, send a messenger again, what is going on with Zhao Ruoming, this son of a bitch? You're a fart if you don't come! Damn, if you dare to pull Lao Tzu's hind legs, Lao Tzu will have to calm him and set the border army. ”
There are too many things, but at this fateful time, Zhao Ruoming, the commander of the Dingbian Army, was sloppy, how could Yang Yi not be angry, Yu Qingliang and the herald glanced at each other, they had seen the strong, but they had never seen such a strong one, and immediately decided to let their minds forget intermittently...... "What are you doing standing!" Don't go yet! ”
The herald shuddered and ran out of the camp in a puff of smoke, faster than a rabbit!
"Lao Yu! Zhao Ruoming may not be reliable, we must be prepared for the border army not to come! ”
"Yes, Lord Zhizhou!"
"Pass my order, let the whole army of Chongpu and them withdraw, from now on, the whole territory of Huanzhou will enter the highest state of alert, all the forts and villages will be waiting for the day, and all the troops and horses will be dispatched, and all the detailed work will be dispatched to detect the movements of the Xia army, and no one will be allowed to leave the beacon fire everywhere!"
"Yes! Lord Zhizhou! ”
