Chapter 539: Two Sharp Knives
Helplessly, he had no choice but to order Liang De to increase the intensity of the attack, and if necessary, he could consider opening a passage and letting Di Qing and the others leave.
As long as there is no Di Qing's department, the Western Xia army can turn around and use all his strength to deal with Su Shi, and at that time he wants to let Su Shi know how wrong it would be to provoke himself.
Su Shi, who was remembered, had already learned from the mouth of the Flying Eagle Squadron that the Liao army had become honest after being beaten, and he did not dare to send troops to find trouble for himself.
All of this was actually expected by Su Shi.
At the beginning, he chose to do it to the Western Xia army, instead of choosing to do it to the Liao soldiers, to rescue Xincheng and Wang Xin's department, because he was sure that if he fought the Western Xia army, the Liao army would watch. But if you fight the Liao army by yourself, most of the Western Xia soldiers will not be a watcher.
That being the case, Su Shi took Xixia as a target, and when he came up, he opened his bloody mouth to it.
Xu Ba returned with a large army.
When he left, there were 30,000 cavalry. ap.
But when he returned to the main camp, there were only 20,000 cavalry. A full 10,000 people were thrown on the battlefield, but the Liao army did not dare to fight their own ideas.
"It's hard work, have a good meal, take a rest, and then we have to deal with the Western Xia army. We're working hard, but the enemy is also working hard, so we just can't let them stop, we have to keep the pressure high at all times."
Seeing Xu Ba and the others who had completed the task returning, Su Shi comforted him. The next thing is to see the black cavalry and the vanguard army to make a move, and at this time, it is absolutely impossible to let the Western Xia army on the opposite side relax, let alone let them have the ability to return to help.
Although the Su family army does not have any advantage in terms of strength now, since Su Shi has made a move, there is absolutely no possibility of stopping halfway.
In this battle, he also has an element of gambling to some extent.
But who is to blame for this?
Before, Song Jun made frequent mistakes, which gave the alien race a chance, and now he wants to turn the tide, and he can't do it without taking risks.
It was getting dark again.
For a whole day, the forces of the four sides fought back and forth on the battlefield.
Western Xia Army, Liao Army, Su Family Army, Great Song Western Army.
In one day, all four sides suffered losses, among which the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty suffered the heaviest losses.
In one day, in the face of more than a dozen attacks by Liang De's troops like mad dogs, nearly 30,000 soldiers were lost.
Now the Western army has only 50,000 soldiers and horses left on the battlefield, and the rest are either dead or wounded. What's worse is that they have long run out of food, and the war drags on for a day, which will only be more detrimental to them.
The second largest loss was the Su family army in Su Shi's hands.
Successively fought against the Western Xia and Liao armies, and lost more than 20,000 troops in one day.
This is also because the logistics support of the Su family army is strong, and the soldiers can eat and drink enough to go to the battlefield.
Not only that, but if there is an injured person who is not very seriously injured, they can be treated immediately. Once the injury is discharged from the hospital, it is a good man, and after these wounded people who have experienced life and death return to the team, they often become elite existences and can exert stronger abilities.
If the war continues like this, I am afraid that in the end, either the Western Army or the Su Army will be the first to collapse.
Fortunately, Su Shi is not unprepared, and the black cavalry and the vanguard army who took a detour are Su Shi's hole cards and hopes.
Compared with the four families who had become a pot of porridge and went out of Xincheng to join Di Qing's army, they were extremely honest in this day.
got out of the city, and after a bloody battle, he did not open the passage to meet Di Qing. On the contrary, he was a lost soldier, and the food he brought out of the city was originally limited, so Wang Xin chose to lie dormant and wait for the fighter to appear.
In addition to the wounded, there were only 20,000 troops available, so Wang Xin clearly knew that he might only have one chance to attack.
Even if it's only once, of course he can't be reckless, all he has to do now is wait.
Waiting for the opportunity to present itself.
Before that, as long as no one came to him for trouble, he stayed honestly and kept his physical strength in full condition to protect
When they are needed on the battlefield, there is still a lot of strength.
When night came again, there was a brief silence on the battlefield.
After a day of fighting, people will be tired, and everyone needs a respite. It seems that Liang De, although he has sent someone to pass the order to increase the intensity of the attack, he still decided to rest for the night.
Liang De's plan was to press the whole army early tomorrow morning and strive to hit Di Qing's department at one time. When the other party is almost consumed, he will deliberately let go of a hole and let him leave.
Liang De also believes that he can do this well.
Di Qing's department has been besieged for many days, and he is not clear about the outside affairs at all, and it is impossible for him to know the fact that the Su family army has come to help. That's where his opportunity lies.
It was still this night, and Di Qing, who was besieged, was ready to break through at dawn.
Supposedly, it is better to break through in the dark. But after the day's fighting, everyone is too tired, and they really need to take a good rest.
Looking at the vast dark night, Di Qing didn't fall asleep, and his eyes were still a little blood-red.
came with an army of 100,000 swearing, but he didn't expect that the enemy had already prepared, and from the moment he appeared, he was pressed and beaten, and then he broke through and broke through again.
This battle was too aggrieved, so that Di Qing couldn't help but doubt his ability to lead troops.
Thinking about it, whether it was Chen Zhizhong or Zhi Jimin, they had told him that they couldn't be violated, so they went back and looked for an opportunity to fight again. No one will laugh at themselves for that.
What I promised at the beginning was good.
But as soon as he arrived on the battlefield, he always thought that he could not embarrass the Western Army, and he was anxious to prove himself, but he knew that he was in a trap or jumped in, which led to the current situation of being besieged, and he couldn't help but blame himself for a while.
The 100,000 Western Army followed him, but now, in addition to the wounded, there are only 40,000 men who are really capable of fighting, how sad it is.
When I break through at dawn, I'm afraid it's just these 40,000 numbers, and it's good to survive half of them in the end.
Perhaps, half of them will not survive.
100,000 people came out, but only 10,000 people could really go back.
As soon as he thought of this result, Di Qing blamed himself even more, how could he sleep peacefully?
"Fight, tomorrow no matter what, I have to make a way for my brothers, I can die, but the soldiers can't all die, they should go back to the Western Army and go back to reunite with their families."
Thinking like this in his heart, Di Qing couldn't help but think of his family, his wife and children.
At this moment, it seemed that their figures appeared in their eyes, and they looked at themselves with a smile.
My wife is saying, "Wait for your safe return."
The children are saying that they are waiting for their father to win the battle, and they are proud that their father is a big hero.
Thinking of this, Di Qing's face showed a rare gentle smile, and then at some point, there was a burst of shouts of killing in his ears.
Is it that the fight was too intense during the day, and there were auditory hallucinations?
Just when Di Qing thought he was hallucinating, He Kun, the general in charge of the guard, ran in front of him, "General, general, there is a situation outside. The Western Xia army is fighting with people."
It turned out to be not an illusion, but a real thing, Di Qing immediately came to his spirit and asked, "Which direction?"
"South." He Kun said in an affirmative tone.
South?
Di Qing thought that Wang Xin from the north was leading the army to kill him, and wanted to join him, which was understandable. But how could someone from the south kill them?
Some didn't understand, but He Kun on the side gave an answer, "General, did you say that our Western Army sent troops to help?"
"Western Army. Yes! You're saying that our Western Army has come to reinforce us."
Di Qing said as if he was awake from a dream, and then nodded heavily, "Yes, even if the soldiers come from the south, they can only come from the western army. Haha, the privy envoy and the general will not give up on us, so they sent troops to help."
At this meeting, Di Qing was like a child, with excitement and excitement on his face.
When he looked at He Kun, he said again and again, "Quick, gather all the soldiers and horses, we have to join the reinforcements, hahaha."
Just now, I thought that I was at the end of the road, but I didn't expect that it would be a bright moment in an instant, and Di Qing became excited and high-spirited again.
The good news spread and spread throughout the army. The more than 40,000 Great Song Xijun were like boiling hot water in a pot, boiling in an instant.
"Ben will be the vanguard, General He will protect the left and right flanks of the army, General Lu will take the wounded in the center, and we will go to join the reinforcements. Remember, this time we can't leave a living brother behind, can't."
It was already ready to abandon all the wounded and break through with all their might. But now that the battle situation has changed, Di Qing's mentality has also changed.
The 40,000-capable army, plus more than 8,000 wounded, answered yes in unison. Then Di Qing personally led the remaining 20,000 cavalry, became the vanguard, and charged towards the south where the sound of fighting was sounding.
On the battlefield to the south, 5,000 black cavalry and 6,000 vanguard troops finally appeared outside the battlefield.
After a day and a night's travel, they moved from the outside to the south, and launched a general attack in the middle of the night.
After the Black Riders were expanded, the number finally exceeded 5,000. This time the collective appeared, in Ji Zhu's words, that was when they made great contributions.
The six thousand vanguard army, under the leadership of Yang Wenguang and Hu Yanqing, is no longer a novice on the battlefield, they have been baptized by war, and they have not died in a hundred battles, and they are full of murderous aura at this moment.
By the time the order to charge was given, their speed was not much slower than that of the black horsemen.
The two strong cavalry, like two sharp knives, slammed straight behind the unprepared Western Xia cavalry.
The Western Xia army was indeed unprepared.
There were scouts on the periphery, but because of Su Shi's appearance, some of them were sent to Chenghou Mountain to understand the situation, and some of them stayed to keep an eye on Su Shi's army.
Actually placed to the south, the number of scouts in this least likely place is very small.
