Chapter 21: An Army Behind the Times

readx; Wei Ge Ningling's plan was successful, Guo En's broken five pieces of body were still hung at the door of the barracks, frozen hard in the cold of early winter, and as the snow fell, the five pieces of body were covered with snow, like the frozen meat of a farmer in the northwest hanging at the door of the house waiting for the New Year.

After obtaining 6,000 quintals of grain and a large number of blades from the Song people, the Right Wing Chaoshun Military Division finally had the appearance of a military camp.

Even so, after the heavy snow fell, it still gave this army a very serious disaster, because of the lack of winter clothing, Wei Ge Ning Ling could only shrink in the barracks with the army and shiver.

Xiao Dahu invited the Right Wing Chaoshun Military Division to attack the Hequ City of the Song Kingdom, and promised to give this city to Wei Ge Ning Ling as a foothold.

This promise once made Wei Ge Ning Ling ecstatic, if he could really capture Hequ City, the Right Wing Chaoshun Military Division would have a real way to live, unlike the Song people who had died and gave what seemed to be a way to live, but in fact it was a road that could not be dead again.

There were only 6,000 people in the opposite city, and after Wei Ge Ningling knew this information, he once knelt down in front of the ancestors' spiritual throne for half the night, and sincerely thanked the ancestors for having a spirit and giving the descendants a way to live.

The wealthy Wei Ge Ning Ling of Hequ City has long heard that there are as many as 700,000 quintals of grain in this city alone, and I have heard that all the ordnance needed for Yun Zheng's northern expedition is stored here, as long as this city is captured, he will be able to reinvigorate the prestige of the Right Wing Chaoshun Military Division in the shortest possible time, and one day he will have the fundamental power to compete with Wuzang Pang.

The six thousand Song army is nothing in his eyes, as early as when he was in Haoshuichuan, in the face of the 100,000 Song army, he and his eldest brother Li Yuanhao could also break through the north and south in the ten thousand armies, vertical and horizontal, Han Qi and Fu Bi were all talents of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were inevitably defeated in the battle of Haoshuichuan, so he did not take the six thousand Song troops in Hequ City in his eyes, but thought that this was a huge mistake by Yun Zheng in the military strategic arrangement.

The Song people were always so self-righteous, did they really think that they could go to the sworn enemy of Western Xia in order to survive?

The snow is clear, the sun shines on the snow, the cold wind is biting, the foot is the Yellow River that has been frozen, last night has sent people to test, the cold wind of the past few days has completely frozen the river, as far as the eye can see, the Song army on the other side of the river is actually lined up there, instead of hiding behind the tall city wall shivering.

Wei Ge Ning Ling only felt that his blood was boiling, and he couldn't feel the slightest chill, in order to fight today, he deliberately took off his fox fur, and there was only a thin layer of linen clothes under the armor, even so, he still felt hot.

It would take five days for Xiao Dahu's army to rush from Xijing, but Wei Ge Ningling couldn't wait for a day, and the increasingly cold weather forced him to capture Hequ City as soon as possible.

What's more, Wei Ge Ning Ling didn't think that the Liao people would sincerely help him, Yun Zheng was a fierce tiger, so Xiao Dahu was a cannibal wolf to him, if he could capture the city before the Liao people arrived in Hequ City, Wei Ge Ning Ling's reputation would spread far and wide.

Tan Wei stood on the opposite side of the Yellow River, looking at the Tangut people on the other side of the Yellow River in wonder, he couldn't understand how more than 10,000 remnants of the Tangut soldiers dared to attack the idea of his own Hequ City, such a challenge already made him feel very unfamiliar.

Hequ City was only 16,000 people at its peak, and it was relying on these 16,000 people that the army recovered Shenwu City and Shuozhou.

These days, Tan Wei has long been very clear about the origin and combat power of the army opposite, this is an army that has been forgotten by the Tangut people, whether it is morale, equipment, or combat power has been completely lost.

After he knew that Wei Ge Ning Ling had killed Guo En, he was ready to accept the commander's order to cross the river and pacify this army, but he didn't expect that he hadn't gone over yet, and people had already come to the door.

Looking at the new boots on his feet, Tan Wei was not going to run on the ice to fight with the Tanguts today, the three hundred and forty eight-ox crossbows guarding the river were enough to stop these Tanguts on the ice of the Yellow River.

The soldiers quickly set up a tent by the river, and Tan Wei asked the soldiers to remove the side of the tent facing the Yellow River, so that he could observe the enemy.

Glancing at Hai Dongqing for the last time in the sky who was flying in a circle boringly, Tan Wei got into this small tent, while roasting the fire, while listening to the heart-rending roar of Wei Ge Ningling on the other side of the Yellow River.

"We have been imprisoned at the mouth of the bell for more than eight years, our relatives have been enslaved at the foot of the Black Mountain, they should have been the most noble group of people in my Great Xia Kingdom, but now, they have to take the whip to graze cattle and sheep for the unhidden Pang!

I didn't hide that Pang wanted to borrow Song Guo's hand to kill us, I'm sorry! He's dreaming! Song Dog wants us to surrender, I'm phew! My dignified descendants of the blue wolf can not be humiliated by Song Dog.

Yun Zheng is just a yellow-mouthed son, thinking that we will surrender obediently, but I don't know that the name of my right wing Chaoshun Military Division was given by the first emperor, and we would rather die than surrender to Song Dog!

Now, in this city in front of us, there is everything we need, and there are only 6,000 Song dogs guarding it.

Sons and grandsons of the blue wolf, as long as we take this city, the Right Wing Chaoshun Army will once again become the strongest army in my Great Xia, and we will regain our deprived glory with our own hands.

Now, rush! ”

The totem of the Tangut people is a vicious mother image, and a pair of huge ** occupy half of the totem, which means that it is the mother god who feeds all the people on this land.

The mother's back is slightly bent, as if she is holding something, a pair of fat feet on the solid ground, and a pair of hands seem to be guarding something, which is reminiscent of the mother who stands up to the sky, with hard work, and endures humiliation.

The mother's face on the totem is extremely vicious, with green fangs and fangs, and it seems to be fighting, so when the Western Xia warriors are fighting, they think that they are fighting with their mothers, and even if they die, they are just returning to their mother's arms.

The dead Guo En brought food, knives and guns to Wei Ge Ningling, but did not bring him the winter clothes and siege equipment they urgently needed, which was the only thing Guo En did against in this incident.

Therefore, Zhang He, the deputy general of the Chaoshun Military Division of the Right Wing, who led the army, could only rush onto the ice with his soldiers holding bundles of wheat straw, and they not only had to charge, but also paved a way for the follow-up soldiers, otherwise, if the leather boots stepped on the smooth ice, they would not be able to march quickly at all.

It's not that they didn't see the Eight Ox Crossbows on the other side of the river, but they just tried not to think about it, and everyone walked steadily on the ice, hoping to break through the Song people's Yellow River defense line, and then break down the Song people's Hequ city defense, and finally won a simple victory, everyone hoped that the thick arrows of the Eight Ox Crossbows would not shoot on their bodies.

The right wing of the Chaoshun Military Division has no way to retreat.

Tan Wei hadn't seen such a swarm of people charging for a long time, at least in the past two years, he had never seen that army dare to charge his own army with a rudimentary shield like this.

In the past, those armies that did this were either completely wiped out or completely disabled by a dense range of crossbow arrows and gunpowder bullets, and after seeing the Song army's intensive long-range strikes, no army would use such a charge again, not a single one.

Seeing such a charge, Tan Wei remembered that this was an army that had been imprisoned for almost ten years, and the outside world was an extremely strange existence to him.

A team of scouts kept reporting, within a radius of fifty miles, only the right wing of the Chaoshun army on the opposite side, and Hai Dongqing in the sky did not see other troops on the vast snow, so Tan Wei saw that when those Hai Dongqing began to swoop down to catch the rabbits in the snow, he was also completely relieved, and just ordered the three thousand subordinates in the city to take the people in the city to firmly guard the city, regardless of the war on the banks of the Yellow River.

There are ninety-nine bends in the Yellow River in the world, and naturally there is a bend in the river meander, where the water flow is gentle, so as long as it enters the winter, it will freeze, and the river will not open until the peach blossoms bloom in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and those huge ice blocks will sometimes silt up the river and become a terrifying peach blossom flood.

Sometimes, in order to prevent the lower reaches of the Yellow River from being harmed by the peach blossoms, the imperial court would ask Hequ City to completely blow up the river here, turning large pieces of ice into small pieces of broken ice, such a job, Tan Wei has been doing for three years.

The main reason why Lang Tanzhi will leave this important city with most of the soldiers in the city is that this city is almost insurmountable in winter, and those seemingly flat ice surfaces, under the bombardment of gunpowder shells, will soon become a giant mouth that eats people.

Tan Wei naturally knew the truth of the half-crossing attack, just when those Western Xia people thought that they had scared the Song army on the opposite side stupid, there was a cracking sound, and more than 300 eight-bull crossbows were shot together, and the long crossbow spears were like a flying wall, rushing towards the ice from this side of the Yellow River.

The Eight Ox Crossbow is the best long-range weapon of the Jingxi Army, and after the soldiers shot the first set of arrows, they didn't look at the whereabouts of the arrows and began to load the second set of arrows.

The rudimentary wooden shield in the hands of the Liao people shattered the first time it touched the arrow, and the thick crossbow spear shot through the shield, shot through the body of the soldier, and then pierced out of the soldier's body, and then consumed his kinetic energy on the body of the other soldiers.

The soldier who lay down was lucky, listening to the strange screaming crossbow guns passing over his head, and seeing his comrade turn from a living man into a pile of minced meat, he could only scream wildly, wishing to dig a hole in the ice and bury himself in it.
