Chapter 556: On the Importance of Logistics

Maybe Wang Xin felt ashamed and raised his head shamelessly.

Or perhaps, Wang Xin doesn't care about Fang Jiugui's life or death at all.

As soon as Fang Jiugui left with two thousand cavalry, Wang Xin also made up his mind and said, "All the scouts have been sent out to investigate the situation around Xincheng in detail. Others, rest in place, replenish food, and be ready to relieve the siege of Xin City at any time."

An hour later, all the scouts had rushed back with the exact news. Outside Xincheng, there are indeed only 10,000 Liao troops, and as for where the others went, it must have something to do with Su Shi's siege.

Anyway, the result of the scout's investigation was that not a single alien soldier was seen within twenty miles of the surrounding area.

"Okay, everyone listen to the order, get on the horse, and attack."

Wang Xin can't care about the situation of Su Shi's siege now, there is only one thing he has to do now, kill Liao Dog and relieve the siege of Xincheng.

In the darkness of the night, Wang Xin's department became the first army to take the initiative to attack the alien race.

When 10,000 cavalry came from all directions and appeared in front of the Liao army barracks outside the city. The Liao army, which was still asleep, was in a panic to meet the battle, and some of the wandering rangers nearby turned around and left, heading straight for the Liao army headquarters.

Suddenly there was a shout of killing outside the city, and Wang Deyong, who couldn't sleep because of hunger, quickly got up and climbed the city tower under the protection of the forbidden army.

"It's reinforcements, it's reinforcements that have come to our rescue. Quick, everyone prepare, open the gates of the city, and welcome reinforcements into the city."

Wang Deyong stood on top of the city tower and said with some excitement.

Wang Miao, the general of the Longwu Guard, who was standing on the side, quickly agreed and arranged for someone to go to the city gate.

Outside the city, Wang Xin and Xia Yuan led 10,000 cavalry to kill left and right, and after a bloody battle, they defeated the 5,000 cavalry of the Liao army and drove the remaining 5,000 infantry away from the city gate. When he rode to the city, he saw Wang Deyong and Wang Miao standing on the city tower.

"It's General Wang Xin."

Above the city tower, Wang Miao also recognized Wang Xin.

Wang De's eyes were not as good as Wang Miao's, and at this moment he said with a look of urgency: "Is it really General Wang Xin? Quick, open the gates of the city, and welcome him into the city."

The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, who had been guarding the city gate for a long time, hurriedly opened the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and Wang Xin led a group of cavalry into Xincheng.

The two sides met on the street in front of the city gate, and at this moment Wang Deyong's eyes were full of tears, which was exciting.

I thought that I might die in the city this time, but I didn't expect that Wang Xin would bring troops to help at a critical time, and he was excited at this moment.

Wang Xin didn't get too excited, all he wanted now was to get out of here quickly.

He just led the army to defeat the Liao soldiers, and did not inflict heavy losses on them, let alone destroy them. I'm afraid that once dawn, the Liao army will attack in a big way, and if that's the case, if you want to leave, it will be difficult.

"Lord Wang, the Liao soldiers will come back soon, so let's abandon the city first."

Xincheng, before it was surrounded, the people had already fled, and now there are only some nearby Xiangyong in the city who came under Wang Deyong's order.

Such a city, it is not wrong to say that it is an empty city, and if you give up, you will give up, and there is nothing to be sorry for.

"Okay, let's go right away."

Wang Deyong nodded emphatically. If it was before, he wouldn't have made up his mind so decisively, and he still wanted to defend Xincheng, which at least proves that he is still playing a role, so that he has an explanation for both the top and the bottom.

But now, there is no food in the city, and after feeling the feeling of hunger, Wang Deyong doesn't want to starve even if he is killed.

didn't bother to pack anything, or said that those things were no longer important, Wang Deyong was afraid that something would happen, so he sat down on a war horse brought by Wang Xin.

Originally, there were some war horses in Xincheng, although they were not strong, but there was no problem in hurrying. It's just that everyone is hungry and crazy during this time, and those war horses have long been killed.

Wang Deyong and Wang Miao were assigned to the war horses respectively, and followed Wang Xin's army to begin to transfer, and others

The soldiers did not have this kind of treatment, and could only drag their weak legs to follow the army as much as possible. Although they have no food in their stomachs and their whole bodies are weak, as long as they want to live, they can only fight for a breath and leave with the army.

There are still a lot of troops in Xincheng, 4,000 people in Long Wuwei and more than 20,000 soldiers in the box, these people support each other, and all of them left Xincheng under the protection of Wang Xin's cavalry.

Not long after Wang Deyong and the others left, a large number of Liao cavalry chased after them.

After learning that the Song army sent people to relieve the siege of Xincheng, Xiao Xiaoyou transferred 20,000 Liao troops to chase after him.

The food in hand will fly away, and no one will agree to it.

Before the 20,000 Liao cavalry came to Xincheng, looking at the open city, they first sent people to patrol around, and after not even seeing a ghost shadow, they looked for the footprints on the ground and chased after Wang Xin's department.

After the break, the cavalry of the Song army soon discovered the Liao cavalry following them, and shouted everywhere, causing chaos in the Song army in the ranks.

"Quick, let's go first." Wang Deyong, who learned the news, turned pale, he didn't want to be arrested by the Liao army, so he hurriedly ordered Wang Xin.

Wang Xin's face reappeared tangled, if he escaped now, the more than 20,000 soldiers in the north would be more than lucky.

"General Wang, what are you waiting for, do you have to let the Liao army make us dumplings?" Wang Deyong, who shouted angrily, didn't care what Wang Xin was going to do next, he took the lead in galloping towards Chitang Pass.

Wang Deyong took the lead in running, for his safety, Wang Xin had to follow with the army, and then the four thousand dragon guards led by Wang Miao, although they were also hungry and had no strength, but their bodies were much better than those who couldn't eat enough all the year round, and they could barely escape after the army.

The bitter thing is more than 20,000 bravery, they can't run and run, they can't fight and can't fight, when they see that they were abandoned by Wang Xin's department, everyone's face showed despair.

It didn't take long for the 20,000 Liao troops behind him to chase after them, and then surrounded them, but if there were those who resisted, they would be killed with their swords raised without mercy.

When more than 2,000 people were killed on the battlefield, the other Great Song Xiangyong became honest, and even more, they were very resentful, thinking that since the Great Song Dynasty abandoned them, then they would turn against the Great Song Dynasty and vote for the Great Liao.

There are still 20,000 people left, and they all chose to surrender.

20,000 prisoners, this is one of the biggest gains after the Liao army entered the Song Dynasty.

......

The north peak of Shigu Mountain.

Su Shi knew something about Xincheng through the walkie-talkie.

After hearing that Wang Xin did not rush to Shigu Mountain, but took the opportunity to relieve the siege of Xincheng, Su Shi did not say anything.

Horses of courses.

Wang Xin has his own ideas, his own style of doing things, and what he wants to do is his power. It's just that since he didn't choose his side, then in the future, Su Shi will not treat him as his own.

I still remember the first time we met in Zhending City, and the two talked happily with each other.

From the chat, Su Shi also thought that Wang Xin was a general with his own ideas.

The Great Song Dynasty has this general, which is the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty and the blessing of the Han people.

At that time, Su Shi was still very optimistic about Wang Xin, thinking that once he had the ability, he would give the other party more help and let him have more power, which would be a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty.

But now it seems that this person is not more than Erer.

Maybe he was used to being suppressed, and he didn't dare to straighten his spine when he faced Wenchen.

If it's really what people ask for, he will do it.

is completely an echo worm, such a person, even if he can hold more power, it is just a dog raised by the ministers, and it is useless.

Even if he is a useless person, Su Shizi will not worry too much about this, thinking of the intelligence that Fang Jiugui came to Shigu Mountain with two thousand cavalry, he smiled and said, "Interesting, it seems that this is a person with ideas."

"Young Master, it's time to eat.

When Su Shi was thinking to himself, Yue Siling walked into the temporary military tent early.

Breakfast had fritters, buns, soy milk, eggs.

Su Shi likes such civilian snacks very much, and in his opinion, many folk foods are not comparable to those meals in five-star hotels.

In wartime, it is still surrounded by heavy surrounding, and it has to be said that it is a shocking thing to have such abundant food.

During the liberation of the country, each soldier was followed by about 30 peasants, who transported supplies in wheelbarrows or on their shoulders, which won the war and established a strong and confident China. This shows the importance of logistical supply in war.

Put Su Shi here, as long as he is there, there is no need to think about logistics at all, with this article, Su Shi personally will have a million troops.

"Let's divide the rest of the food." Su Shi picked up the bamboo chopsticks and asked out loud.

"It's all sent down, and the one that the soldiers eat is called a fragrant incense." Yue Siling covered her mouth and chuckled, with a hint of envy in her eyes.

For the poor soldiers, good food and good food are enough, which is definitely the greatest happiness. It's also unceremonious to eat one by one, and the sound of the mouth is endless.

Although it is a little indecent, it will inevitably open up your appetite when you look at it, and you can eat more when you are eating.

"Okay, the soldiers are fighting with their lives, it's very hard, and the food must be guaranteed." Su Shi nodded with satisfaction, and then began to pick up a meat bun in front of him and ate it without hurry.

On the north peak, after the 7,000 forbidden army reserves had eaten and drunk, they began to make various pre-war preparations.

Arrows were thrown there in bundles, piled up as high as a hill. Although everyone doesn't know how there are so many arrows here, but the big war is imminent, and no one thinks about these things, they only know one thing, that is, the young marshal said, rest assured to kill the enemy, there are arrows, and they can be used as much as possible.
