Chapter 508: Reversal (Medium)

A few sentinels were chatting listlessly.

Since Yao Lin successfully broke through again yesterday morning, Liang Yibury issued an order to all three armies, no matter who is on duty, if there is any slackness, there will be no reluctance. Especially the night sentry.

Therefore, the sentries of the various battalions of the Xia army did not dare to nap at night.

If you can't take a nap, let's chat.

The supplies from Jintang City are now being transported to White Leopard City, but Dashun City still brings a large amount of supplies, including grain, grass and weapons. For a while, Liang Yi couldn't take it away. I had to slowly let the rear soldiers move to the front line.

Now there are still a lot of them in Dashun City, especially forage. The proportion of cavalry in Western Xia this time was not high, but it also accounted for more than one-third.

The forage consumed by more than 100,000 war horses is a staggering number.

Therefore, the 40,000 troops in Dashun City often transport grain and grass materials to the front line in the past few days, but fortunately, this front line is Liyuan Fort and Rouyuan Village, which are not far away, go in the morning and come back in the evening. But Dashun City was stuck in the middle, so it had to be divided into two steps, and the soldiers in the rear of Dashun City slowly transferred the supplies from the mountain road to the summer army camp on the east side of Dashun City. Then the summer soldiers of the East Battalion were transported to the front.

The sentries did not go to the front, but they heard many rumors from the soldiers of the East Battalion.

The news is mixed.

The joy is that the three armies will meet, and there are a lot of worries, including the * defeat under Anjiang Fort, as well as the strange offensive and defensive battle of Rouyuan Village, and the offensive and defensive battle of Liyuan Fort also suffered heavy losses.

"Song Jun is really tenacious."

That's what a few sentinels say the most.

This evaluation has two meanings, one is appreciation, and the other is that Song Jun is stubbornly resisting.

None of them. The gap in forces is too great. As the war heats up. The Song Dynasty exposed more troops for the Tanguts to know, but even so, according to the information they had, the Huanzhou Road plus the strongmen, but more than 40,000 people, of course, these strongmen cannot be regarded as a rabble, if so. Wouldn't the Western Xia be even more of a rabble? In addition, Chang'an may have assisted more than 10,000 officers and soldiers. Jingyuan Road assisted 5,000 officers and soldiers.

As for Yanzhou, I finally learned that I had assisted the poor more than 1,000 people, or the stragglers Yu Yong, maybe Li Fugui was gone, but because of Bai Yu's tearing, the two bigwigs in Yanzhou were still angry, so they helped this funny force.

That is to say, the strength of the entire two states will not exceed 60,000, and the minimum may only be more than 50,000.

Western Xia, on the other hand, had an army of 300,000.

Although this gap may be enough to complete the battle of winning more with less, but can the Song army fight a battle of winning more with less?

This moment. Almost all the Tanguts forgot about the battle of Pan Meiping and the Southern Han, and that strength could be between twenty and thirty times the difference!

I also forgot about the Battle of the Tang River and the Battle of the Xu River. The difference in the strength of Song Liao is almost one to three, the Song army is one, the Liao State is three, and the main general of Liao State is still Yelu Huge, the god of war of Liao State.

Or that is too far away, but what about several battles in the Battle of Fulin Road, such as the two battles of Tumaochuan, the defense of Linzhou City, the Battle of Sansongling, and a series of battles, almost killed half of the 100,000 soldiers and horses brought by Li Yuanhao.

And now the Tangut people are not 300,000, and there are more than 20,000 people before and after. If the Song Dynasty had such heavy casualties, then the eccentric, weak and the Song Dynasty that could not afford to lose the most, I don't know how much shock it would cause.

But 300,000 is indeed speechless.

At least on the surface, with this gap in strength, sooner or later the Song army will have to grind to death.

"Let's go down and make a fire." A sentry said.

Standing on the ice wall, the northwest wind is strong, and this is the coldest time of the day. Several of the sentinels shivered from the cold. It shouldn't matter if you don't take a nap.

So several people were about to go down from the steps, and suddenly one of them looked into the distance in horror and said, "What is that?" ”

Everyone followed his gaze, at this time, the main force had penetrated deep into all parts of Gyeongju, and there were only 20,000 summer soldiers at this time, and the thickness was far less than at the beginning. However, even more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, plus materials, still stretched for more than a mile.

Although it was not far away, the night was like ink, and the snowflakes were flying, obstructing the view, and everyone could only barely see the other side of the camp.

Therefore, in the past 10,000 years, the Song army was about to touch the camp of the Xia army, and standing here, it still looked like a blurred black shadow.

Some of the sentries rubbed their eyes, suspecting that they had seen flowers.

But one of the soldiers with good eyesight finally screamed: "There is an enemy, an enemy attack." ”

Then the horn sounded.

However, he blew it too late, and the Song army had already entered the enemy camp.

Although Jing Sili was not very good in the battle of the security army last year, he can be regarded as a tiger general. Not to mention Gao Yongneng and Liu Yan. In terms of combat power, Gao and Liu can definitely rank in the top 30 among the many generals of the Song Dynasty. It can even rank in the top ten in Western Xia.

As for Wang Wenliang, let's paddle the water. However, there is another person, buried by Niang Lang, his combat effectiveness is not high, but the overall strength of his subordinates is the strongest, not only are all soldiers, but also cavalry accounts for more than half.

Several tiger generals led more than 10,000 Song troops like wolves and tigers into the camp of the Xia army, which was sleeping soundly.

They took the lead, and under their leadership, more than 10,000 Song troops opened one camp after another and slaughtered the enemy.

For a while, the entire summer army west camp resounded with a miserable scream, shouting and killing.

"Sortie." Dou Shunqing said.

With the order, the gate of the Dashun City Water Village was opened.

You have to get out of this gate to be fast. Otherwise, when you come out of the North City, you have to go around the labyrinth. Moreover, the Xixia people built this ice wall, mainly to prevent the Song army from quickly rushing into the summer camp with the help of skateboards.

Therefore, there is no ice wall built on the camp on the high slope on the south side, and it is not convenient to transport supplies if it is built.

Therefore, when you come out of the gate of the water wall, you can not only be fast, but also quickly enter the enemy camp.

Lin Guang also led his subordinates to dispatch, but their target was not in Xiying, but on the mountain road.

In fact, without Dou Shunqing's cooperation, the summer soldiers in the enemy camp in the west also lost their morale, who would have expected that on this snowy night. And in the rear. There was actually a huge Song army killed. With the thousands of Song troops in Dashun City, they pounced. The entire Xiying was in chaos, only a very small number of people were still fighting tenaciously, and more than ninety percent of the summer soldiers were only concerned about fleeing for their lives.

There is still a way to escape.

The safest route is to flee to the mountains on both sides immediately, and then escape to Jinyu Castle. But there are a few premises, don't run away along this Pingchuan, as the battlefield fell on one side, the cavalry brought by the two divisions began to wander out, specifically killing the fleeing Xia soldiers. The second premise is that don't be afraid. lost their way, otherwise they might not be able to escape the capture of the Song army in the end, and they would not have Liang Yongneng's seventy or eighty thousand troops in the rear. The third premise is that you have to get dressed before escaping, otherwise you may freeze to death on the way before you escape to Jintang City.

However, there are not many soldiers who choose to flee in the direction of Jintang City, how far is that, where is there to escape to the eastern camp, and the east of the eastern camp is the main army of hundreds of thousands of Western Xia.

The Xia soldiers who chose this direction to escape were the most, but their tragic end came. There happened to be Lin Guang leading the army over there, waiting for it.

There are also a very small number of people who fled in the direction of White Leopard City. The outlook for that direction is also not encouraging.

But most people run away blindly, and it is good to be able to run wherever they want.

The most tragic thing is that the main general of Xiying is a reward, a nobleman loyal to the Liang family, so he let Liang Yi be buried in Xiying to guard Dashun City. But he was actually a greedy man who was afraid of death, and he was sleeping in a daze, when he was woken up by his own soldiers. By the time he was fully sober, the entire Xiying had lost control. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately fled westward. As a result, he was killed on the spot by one of Jing Sili's subordinates.

However, because he didn't have time to put on the armor in the future, the Song soldier who killed him thought that he had only killed an ordinary Xia soldier, and didn't care too much, kicked his body away, and continued to fight forward. Even if they are dead, they all die in obscurity.

The Lord will not see it, they are all fleeing, and in the end, even the few brave soldiers have lost the confidence to continue fighting.

Gao Yongneng saw that the fire was almost over, and shouted loudly: "Surrender and don't kill." ”

Surrender may not be a good way out, and look at those prisoners of war on Rouyuan Village. But what if you don't surrender? Most of them continued to try to flee for their lives, but the remaining Xia soldiers fell to the ground one by one and began to surrender in pieces.

Battles are also taking place on the mountain trails.

The east camp saw that something had happened to the west camp, and immediately divided troops to rescue. However, as soon as he entered the mountain road, he was shot down by a rain of arrows.

No matter how they attacked, the Song army took advantage of the terrain to condescend and take turns to release arrows, and knocked them back again and again. However, Lin Guang divided a battalion of officers and soldiers and a small number of strongmen, and asked them to go to the mountain road to the west and shoot back those Xia soldiers who had escaped.

The bold soldier who had just spoken to Lin Guang said excitedly to Lin Guang while shooting arrows: "It turned out to be such a battle, no wonder General Lin said that it was not the battle we thought." ”

It's good to fight like this, let's do it a few more times.

Lin Guang smiled and said sternly: "Everyone can't take it lightly and hold on for a while." ”

It wasn't dawn yet.

Liu Shaoneng had already taken 3,000 soldiers and horses to the White Leopard City. White Leopard City is even more relaxed than the summer soldiers in the west camp of Dashun City, after all, this place already belongs to the rear of the Western Xia army in theory. Except for the city gate, where a group of people were guarding, not even a single patrolling soldier could be seen in the entire city. Even the same group of people were napping by the campfire. Although Liang Yibury ordered everyone to be careful to prevent the Song army from attacking at night, but he didn't give this order to the White Leopard City, and he couldn't give it, wouldn't it be a soldier.

Liu Shaoneng made a gesture to stop everyone, and then asked quietly: "People who think they are flexible stand up, but remember, don't be reckless, climb the city wall for a while, it's not good to be inflexible." ”

Hundreds of people stood up in an uproar, and Liu Shaoneng said: "Immediately we will climb the city wall, fifty people will follow me to touch the group of sentinels guarding the city gate, and the rest of the people will immediately go down to the city and prepare to open the city gate." ”

"Whoa."

Liu Shaoneng took out the hook brought by Liu Ru, danced it in the air a few times, and then threw it on the battlement, and the hundreds of people also threw the hook to the city one by one.

"Try to make your movements as light as possible." After Liu Shao finished speaking, he climbed along the rope towards the city, it was a little cold, and the city wall was a little slippery, so he didn't make a sound, so he climbed relatively slowly. In fact, this is also the convenience brought by this snowy night, otherwise, in the past, although the White Leopard City was lax, there were still patrol sentinels.

Although they climbed slowly, after a while, they climbed up to the top of the city one by one. Dozens of people followed Liu Shaoneng to the group of Xia soldiers guarding the city gate, and the rest of the people went down to the city and touched the city gate.

The Song army outside the city was staring at the city gate.

Liu Shaoneng took fifty subordinates, tiptoed in front of the group, and raised the butcher knife in his hand, only to find that one of them was still screaming. But fifty of them had already pounced, their knives in their hands, and they killed the gang almost without resistance. Then Liu Shaoneng began to lower the drawbridge, and the Song army under the city began to open the city gates. The Song army outside the city also began to rush towards the city gate.

But the scream just now also alarmed the people at the city gate, most of them didn't care, only one person got up lazily, put on his fur jacket, and looked out the window. Then he cried out: "There is an enemy." ”

However, Liu Shaoneng had already led his subordinates to rush into White Leopard City.

There were many houses in White Leopard City, and this had nothing to do with Liu Shaoneng, so he quickly led his men to find the enemy's warehouse, and then quickly rushed over.

The White Leopard City is not as Liu Yu said, there are very few troops, in addition to the original 2,000 soldiers, there are also 2,000 soldiers, they are here to carry supplies, and it is late, so they stay in the city to rest. At the man's shout, some of the soldiers in the city were also awakened, and many others did not want to get up, the weather was too cold! However, some of the soldiers also rose up, including the soldiers guarding the warehouse.

But the Song army came too suddenly, and the Xia army was caught off guard, and before they could organize a resistance, they were killed by Liu Shaoneng and his men, and then rushed into the warehouse and began to set fire everywhere. The worst thing is that the wind is still very strong at this time, and most of the houses of the Tangut people are stone walls and thatched roofs. As soon as the wind blew, many houses also began to catch fire. (To be continued......) R1292
