Chapter 562: Offensive and defensive positions are changed

He sent troops to aid the Liao army, and he still understood the truth of cold lips and teeth.

Unexpectedly, he did not merge with the Liao army, but met the Song cavalry first, or the main force of the Song cavalry with a total of 40,000 people.

"What the hell is going on? Who's going to explain it to me clearly? He roared loudly, and his voice was full of incomprehension.

"General, let's withdraw first, I'm afraid the front won't be able to stop for long." Several pro-soldiers were still sighing at this time when they saw that they had not hidden their old voices, and they couldn't help but say anxiously.

"Withdraw."

Although there were many things that he couldn't figure out, he didn't want to die, and after knowing that it would be dangerous to stay any longer, he quickly retreated to the west with more than a thousand cavalry. At the same time of evacuation, he did not forget to burn the food stored in the camp.

It didn't take long for Di Qing to arrive here with a large army, and when he saw the fire burning, he sent someone to extinguish the fire and save food without saying a word. This caused them to lose time and not be able to catch up with the Liao army that had escaped not far away.

If Su Shi was here, he would definitely order to pursue the enemy instead of keeping food.

But what Di Qing did was not wrong, after all, their Western Army was not like Su Shi, which could be exchanged for endless food.

......

At the foot of Shigu Mountain, the fire is still there.

With the gasoline fully burned, the fire was not as strong as before, but the road up the hill was blocked.

When Yang Wenguang and the others came here, after looking at the fire, they did not choose to go up the mountain, but set up their troops and horses and began to search at the bottom of the mountain.

In the dark night, from time to time, in the trees and grass, they can find some Liao soldiers who have fled here in embarrassment

With the Western Xia soldiers.

These people are very pitiful, and most of them don't even know where they lost their weapons.

With their bare hands, they faced the fully armed cavalry of the Song army, where did they still have the strength to fight back, and they were chased to death one by one.

Fang Jiugui divided the two thousand soldiers and horses into four teams, one team of five hundred people.

He himself patrolled the neighborhood with a team of five hundred cavalry. Soon, he discovered one group after another of foreign enemies, and after more than an hour, two thousand of them had died at the hands of their men.

That's 2,000 alien cavalry.

In normal times, if their northern soldiers want to complete this number of enemies, they don't know what price they have to pay.

But now, they only dispatched 500 cavalry, and their own losses were only a few dozen men.

At this moment, Fang Jiugui fully felt Su Shi's power.

This has not completely surrendered to others, but he just went to the battlefield with the vanguard army belonging to Su Shi, and he has obtained such great military merits.

At this time, Fang Jiugui finally realized what the old saying means, one general is incompetent and tired to death.

Fang Jiugui's harvest is good, and other people's harvest is also very expensive.

There were 50,000 Liao troops and 50,000 Western Xia troops, a total of 100,000 people.

In addition to those who were burned to death by fire and intercepted and killed by them, more than 20,000 people were really able to escape.

This is still because it is dark, and there are many woods at the bottom of the mountain, and there are too many obstacles. If there is a battle during the day, I am afraid that these 20,000 people will not be able to escape.

As the sweep continued, the sky grew brighter and brighter.

In the early morning, I don't know if God can't bear it, but there is a light snow in the sky.

As soon as the light snow arrived, the fire that was about to be extinguished quickly ignited

The fire was extinguished, and the stone steps in the mountain quickly cooled down.

At noon, the road down the mountain was passable normally, and Su Shi came down the mountain with 5,000 forbidden army reserves, and met with everyone in the intact Liao army camp at the foot of the mountain.

Jiju arrived with the black horseman.

Overnight, they inflicted heavy losses on the 10,000 Western Xia cavalry who intercepted them, and only about 2,000 escaped.

Lei Meng and Shi Qianshan's subordinates also rushed back from the Wutai area.

They totaled more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and surrounded the 10,000 cavalry of the Liao army. After paying the price of thousands, it was wiped out completely.

Di Qing also came.

Last night's battle. Speaking of which, the harvest of his killing of the enemy was the smallest, except for the initial encounter with the 10,000 Western Xia troops who came to support the Liao camp and killed two or three thousand cavalry of the other party, it was to put out the fire in the Western Xia camp.

When the fire is extinguished and you want to chase the enemy again, where is there still a trace of the enemy?

Far inferior to Yang Wenguang and Fang Jiugui, in one night, tens of thousands of aliens died in their hands.

And facing unarmed and demoralized foreign enemies, this battle can be described as a happy killing, full of military achievements.

The armies gathered.

In this battle, at a very small cost, the result of losing about 10,000 people, forcibly wiped out the forces of more than 100,000 people in Liao and Western Xia, and completely reversed the offensive and defensive trend of both sides.

The operational objectives set by Su Shi before the war were achieved, and the results were far beyond the plan.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard this time, and after that, I will reward the meritorious deeds and truthfully report the performance of the generals to the court and the officials. The dead brothers were all cared for, except for the one taken out by the imperial court

, the general will also express a little heart, we can't let the families of the soldiers who died in the war shed blood and tears. ”

"Good!"

As soon as Su Shi said this, the people below all applauded.

Everyone knows that Su Shi is rich.

That is, he said that he wanted to show his heart a little, that must be the standard of re-caressing, and at this moment, all the soldiers felt that everything they had paid before was worth it.

At the beginning of the war, Su Shi temporarily took the Liao army camp as his own camp. He had already used the walkie-talkie to inform the Flying Eagle Squad in Chitang Pass, and Bao Zheng had rushed here after getting the news. What to do next, the two need to discuss it carefully.

But the result can already be predicted, this time Bao Zheng has made a great contribution.

Although the battle was not under his specific command, as a minister sent by the emperor to deal with the affairs of the northern territory, if he won the battle, it could be counted on Bao Zheng's head.

In fact, at this moment, Bao Zheng didn't even sit in a sedan chair, so he rode on a horse and came straight to Shigu Mountain with a happy face.

Bao Zheng's side was followed by 40,000 cavalry of the Song army.

These people are all the Song troops who led the Western Xia cavalry away before. As they passed Jingle City without attacking, General Ren Desu, who was following them, sensed that something was wrong, and after catching up for a distance, he gave up the chase and turned back.

After no one pursued, these 40,000 Song soldiers could return to Chitang Pass safely, just in time for Bao Zheng, who was leaving from here, and the two conveniences converged together and came straight to the north.

On the battlefield, there are victories and defeats.

It was the Great Song side that won, and it was the Liao State and the Western Xia that lost.

A fire on Shigu Mountain hit the main forces of the two countries hard, so that they no longer ceased

With any advantage in strength, although after two days, some of the disorganized cavalry have returned, but the strength is still very inferior.

Western Xia Army.

Originally 120,000 soldiers and horses.

On Shigu Mountain, 40,000 were burned and wiped out.

The black cavalry that blocked Jizhu's department lost nearly 10,000 more.

Now there are only 70,000 horses left.

The Liao army was even more miserable.

Originally, there were only 80,000 soldiers and horses.

On Shigu Mountain, 40,000 were burned and wiped out.

The people's army that blocked Menglei and Shi Qianshan lost more than 10,000 soldiers.

Now there are only more than 20,000 horses left.

That's not all, the 50,000 reinforcements sent from the country were routed, and they won't be able to come for a while.

In addition, Xincheng was lost, and Wang Deyong and Wang Miao, who had originally arrived in the bowl, ran away.

The original good situation was reversed in a very short period of time.

The alien race, which belongs to the offensive momentum, now has to turn to a defensive position because of the strength of the troops, this kind of change, whether it is the old sound or Xiao Xiaoyou, they are all holding back the fire in their hearts.

But the strength is not as good as people, and they can't do anything but wait.

While continuing to gain a firm foothold in the north and west, they are waiting for the cold winter to pass, waiting for the spring flowers to bloom in the coming year, when their own reinforcements will arrive, and they must still be ready to fight.

......

At the foot of Shigu Mountain, the original Liao army camp, now the place of the Sushi camp.

Bao Zheng rushed over with 40,000 Song troops, and entered Su Shi's tent as soon as possible, and the two discussed how to report their merits.

"Yes, the old man didn't mistake you, you played well."

As soon as he entered the account, Bao Heizi looked at Su Shi with a smile, with relief and satisfaction on his face.

"Hehe, bag

Uncle, we are so familiar with each other, so there is no need to be so polite, otherwise I am afraid that I will be proud. Su Shi also responded with a smile.

"It's normal to be proud, you're only seventeen this year, you can be proud of having achieved such an achievement at such a young age." Bao Zheng seemed to be in a good mood, and he joked with Su Shi at this moment.

"Uncle Bao, I'll be eighteen in less than a month." Su Shi said unconvinced.

"Haha, no matter how old you are, in Uncle Bao's eyes, you are just a child." Bao Heizi looked up to the sky and laughed again.

After teasing Su Shi for a while, Bao Heizi sat down, his face was much more serious, he looked at Su Shi and asked, "Come on, tell me what you think." ”

Su Shi also put away the smile on his face, looked at Bao Heizi and said: "Uncle Bao, my requirements are very simple, just ask for all the facts, reward those who have merit, and punish those who have faults, can you call the shots?" ”

Faced with this question that looks ordinary, but is actually not ordinary, Bao Zheng shook his head very dryly: "No." There are some things that you know and I know, and the courtiers and officials just need to know. But some words can't be said so bluntly. ”

"What a solution." Su Shi asked rhetorically.

"Uh... For example, Wang Deyong, the report about him can only be written like this, Wang Xianggong in order not to lose the land in the north, held Xincheng for several months, and fought dozens of fierce battles with the enemy, but finally lost under the disparity between the enemy and our forces. After looking for an opportunity, inflict heavy damage on the enemy and break through. ”

"Nope." Su Shi shook his head immediately when he heard that Bao Heizi was clearly reversing black and white.

"If you can't, you can do it."

Unexpectedly, Bao Heizi's tone suddenly became stern.

But after saying that, the bag of sunspots is long again

He exhaled and said, "Brother Shi, I know what you think, this is not the truth, and it is exactly the opposite of the truth. But do you think I want to do that? ”
