Chapter 490: A Brutal Battlefield
Halfway up the mountain, Liang De ignored the wolf smoke burning in the distance, and at this time his attention was all on Su Shi's body.
The target of this surprise attack was Su Shi, and now the person is on the mountain, although the road is difficult, he still has to gamble.
He could see that there shouldn't be many available soldiers around Su Shi, otherwise, after such a long time, why did there be other Song troops around him?
The reason why Su Shi stayed here, Liang De could probably guess that he wanted to entangle himself. It's just that he doesn't have such thoughts?
He also hoped that Gule's side could hold up a little longer and create more time for him.
"Up, give it to me, their strength is limited, and the stones are limited, who can take Su Shi, heavy reward!"
At this moment, Liang De was quite desperate.
At the same time, he also sent all the iron harriers in his hands and asked them to act as scouts to observe the surroundings, so as to prevent Gu Le from being unable to withstand it and the Song army would suddenly kill.
Halfway up the mountain, Su Shi also picked up the walkie-talkie, and he already knew about Gule being surrounded and surrendering. "Very good, now Liang De is entangled by me, the black rider has traveled a long way around their back road and waited, I will delay it for as long as possible, and the wolf smoke will continue to light, don't stop, inform the vanguard army to prepare for another attack."
On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Ji Zhu was running wildly on the horse, and asked worriedly, "Young marshal, you will be fine here, right?" ”
"Not for the time being, if I can't hold on, I will give the order for the First Brigade and the Vanguard Army to assault. Now it's up to you to see if you can block the way for the Western Xia army to escape. Su Shi looked at the Xixia soldiers who had already rushed more than halfway, and said indifferently.
"Okay, if the young marshal is in danger here, he must give the order to charge." Jiju said pleadingly.
The army can be without anyone, but it must not be without Su Shi.
"Alright, carry out the order." Su Shi put down the walkie-talkie, turned his head to Lou Yang and said, "Inform Mu Huan and Wang Manlou that they are ready, and if the Western Xia army rushes up in a while, they will be driven down with all their might." Also, the stone is not thrown like this, which is a waste, tell everyone, take it easy and retain some strength. ”
The black line on Lou Yang's head, just now Su Shi ordered to smash it hard, so that more than half of the stone they had prepared before was thrown down this time, and now they said that they would save it, and there was no one else.
I was aggrieved in my heart, but I couldn't say that Lou Yang was going to convey Su Shi's order.
The speed at which the stone was thrown slowed down noticeably by the order, and all this fell into Liang De's eyes, giving him hope.
He was really worried that the rocks would be endless, and if so, he didn't know how much he would have to pay if he wanted to take this mountain.
Well, now, the other party's stones seem to be running out, and the wolf smoke that was about to be extinguished in the distance has become thick again. This should be that the bone is going to be unbearable.
But even so, Liang De had no intention of going to the rescue, in his eyes, what was it to die a bone, killing Su Shi was the most important thing.
Su Shi, who was halfway up the mountain, did not expect Gule to surrender.
Originally, his plan was to inflict heavy damage on the vanguard army of Western Xia and force the Western Xia cavalry to retreat.
But who would have thought that this Liang De would not leave after seeing him, and he had a posture of fighting to the death with himself.
Now that the tide of battle has changed, so must the plan. Aren't you trying to kill me? Then I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay, waiting for you to kill, and create more time for the army to move.
At this moment, both sides are calculating.
But it is clear that Su Shi is more skilled.
Not for anything else, he has a walkie-talkie in hand, and he can grasp the changes in the battle situation at the first time. In comparison, Liang De is like a blind man, how can he be Su Shi's opponent.
Halfway up the mountain, under an order, the Western Xia cavalry was still charging, and there was really a team of hundreds of Western Xia cavalry rushing up.
Originally, their team had 400 people, but they were smashed by boulders all the way, and they suffered heavy losses, and now there are only about 100 people left.
But those who can rush here are all fierce men. With such bravery, even in the face of hundreds or thousands of Song troops, they will not be afraid, and they may even turn defeat into victory.
The Xinzhou army on the mountainside was wearing the clothes of the common people, and it was not a well-trained Song army at first glance. These Western Xia soldiers are confident that as long as they can rush up, they can kill these Song people crying and shouting for their mothers, and then they can chase thousands or even thousands of people with hundreds of people, and that time is the time to capture Su Shi.
Constantly crawling halfway up the mountain, although their legs were as heavy as lead, these Western Xia soldiers thought that hope was imminent and were still holding on. didn't know that this was exactly what Su Shi intended to give them.
If Su Shi came up and showed that he was invincible, would these Western Xia soldiers still attack the mountain?
If you don't attack the mountain and go to the rescue of Gule instead, the pressure on the black cavalry and the vanguard army will be too great, and it is not impossible that they will even be counter-surrounded.
Let's see, 5,000 cavalry can attract 10,000 vanguard troops and more than 4,000 black cavalry to win with all their strength, so if 20,000 Western Xia cavalry come, the consequences are really unimaginable.
Fortunately, Liang De's heart is big and wild enough.
Fortunately, this person can ignore the life and death of his subordinates for the sake of merit, if this is replaced by other generals who love soldiers, I am afraid that the battle situation may be different.
"Seeing that these people don't have it, they don't have much strength left, go and kill them. By the way, don't kill too fast, look like you're doing your best, understand? ”
Looking at Mu Huan and Wang Manlou, who were already standing behind him, Su Shi said his thoughts.
"This, young marshal, this is not enough to kill." Wang Manlou shook his head, looking embarrassed.
It's not a deception, it's not necessarily a defeat, it's a victory and a miserable victory, which is really embarrassing.
"Young marshal, can you mobilize the Xinzhou soldiers?" But Mu Huan thought of an idea and asked for instructions.
As soon as he said this, Su Shi seemed to understand what he meant, and after thinking about it, an army that does not see blood can never become strong.
How does that sentence say, if you want to hit someone, you must first learn to be beaten.
"Yes, but if they are willing, they can't force anyone. Of course, the conditions can be higher, these people are too miserable. Su Shi agreed to Mu Huan's request, but also put forward his own suggestions.
"The young marshal loves the people, and the general will understand." Mu Huan immediately slapped a sycophant, and then turned around to arrange. Wang Manlou on the side seemed puzzled, and followed behind his buttocks, wanting to see what his fellow was going to do.
After Mu Huan got Su Shi's permission, he came to the front of the Xinzhou Soldier Headquarters.
Several of these people are the commanders of the Xinzhou Army ordered by Su Shi himself, among them are retired border soldiers, and there are also some generals who have served as commanders of the Xiang Army, such as Zhang Qi is in this pile.
As soon as Mu Huan and Wang Manlou appeared, Zhang Qi and the others stood up. They knew that these people were people close to General Chungmu.
"Okay, I won't say much about the greetings, now I need two hundred Xinzhou soldiers, they need to go into battle to kill the enemy, they may die, but they may also live. But whatever the outcome, the reward is very rich. Those who participated in the war had a bag of rice and a bag of noodles per person, plus the usual money. In the unfortunate event of death in battle, the conditions are doubled. Or you can kill the enemy, and you can choose a bag of rice or a bag of noodles to kill a person. ”
Mu Huan concisely put forward his request, looked at Zhang Qi and asked, "How is it?" Difficult? ”
"Nope. General Renyi, this is taking the initiative to send us benefits, haha, I am counted as one, who else wants to be together. A man who was seven feet tall and had a strong body stood up in laughter. 33
This person's name is Shi Qianshan, and he is a deputy commander of the military capital of the box soldiers.
When the cavalry entered the country and the commander fled, Shi Qianshan was in charge of the affairs of the Xiang army. It's just a pity that as soon as the war started, his soldiers didn't know where they ran away, or Zhang Qi found him and recommended him to Su Shi, and now he is in charge of the specific things of the Xinzhou soldiers.
Shi Qianshan stood up, and the other people in the tent also quickly stood up a lot, but Mu Huan shook his head and said: "You don't need to go up, it's mainly ordinary people, the one with ordinary strength, otherwise if you fight too hard, the Xixia soldiers below should be afraid, hehe." ”
"In this way, the matter will be handed over to General Shi to be responsible, just recruit two hundred people, don't do it first. I'll be waiting for you over there, a little faster. Mu Huan smiled and turned around and left.
Wang Manlou also saw something at this time, and followed Mu Huan out of the military tent and asked, "Do you want these people to fight with the Western Xia army?" ”
"They are not ordinary people anymore, they are now Xinzhou soldiers. Besides, they are also defending the homeland and the country, but the young marshal has said that everyone is responsible for defending the homeland. ”
"But they're not trained, aren't they going up to die?" Wang Manlou still asked with some incomprehension.
"Everyone will die, and it depends on whether it is worth it. At least they are dead in battle now, and they can bring a lot of benefits to their living relatives. Mu Huan replied with a cold face.
Once a war is waged, there are no such innocents.
It's okay to say you're unlucky, but it's okay to have a bad life. This is the brutal battlefield.
Who has stipulated that in a war, only soldiers can die?
Don't soldiers deserve to die if they don't have families?
Besides, this time it's not for them to die in vain, not to mention that they can save their families by giving those benefits, their death can also paralyze the Western Xia army and create an opportunity to get more results, no matter how you look at it, it's worth it.
If Su Shi doesn't come to the north and let the alien race wreak havoc here, the final result may be that these people will all die.
It's still the kind that if you don't die in war, you will starve to death.
Some people died, but not completely......
