It's a little faster than it was trotting.

The 10,000 peasant soldiers did not pursue too far, and after killing the enemy infantry, they turned back to count the prisoners and clean up the battlefield, and handed over the task of pursuing the enemy to the 2,000 dragoon cavalry.

Under the leadership of Ji Zhu, the 2,000 cavalry once pursued and killed more than ten thousand miles away, and after killing and capturing nearly 10,000 enemies, they stopped the pursuit.

Only 2,000 cavalry, including Yin Kun, and about 3,000 fast-legged infantry were left to flee.

The battle was fought from morning to noon, and won a big victory.

Among them, more than 5,000 enemies were killed and 20,000 were captured, creating the first big victory with the Xijing army. None of the dragons' own cavalry were killed, and only two were slightly wounded. Instead, they helped the peasants and soldiers, and nearly 100 people were killed and wounded in the battle.

Su Shi's elite line has been proved to be feasible and reliable.

The army won, and in their rear, the two princesses, Lu Siqiao and Ye Lengchan, had already organized the people of Yongzhou to prepare a hot meal to welcome the triumphant army back to their division.

When they saw the 20,000 captives who followed behind the army and couldn't see the end, the people of the city became excited. The fear I felt before when I heard that the King of Xijing had brought 400,000 troops disappeared.

This battle greatly inspired the people's heart of victory, and also began to gradually build the heart of the soldiers to be strong.

At the beginning of the First Battle outside Yongzhou, it was also early in the morning, and Fang Jiugui, the deputy minister of the military department, led the headquarters of Hu Yunfeng of the Third Dragoon Regiment and 10,000 auxiliary peasant soldiers to launch a surprise attack on another Xijing army that was advancing here.

The leader here is Yin Ge of the Yin clan, who is known for his cautiousness.

But Fang Jiugui played a little clever here, choosing to do it in the early morning, which made Yin Ge, who had been in the camp in the suburbs all night, just relax when the dragon army appeared.

The sudden blow, although it did not cause a great victory like Jijuna, also caused a lot of casualties to the enemy. Especially under Fang Jiugui's order, the main thing is to hurt the enemy, not to kill the enemy.

When Fang Jiugui retreated with a surprise attack with a large army, he left more than 2,000 wounded soldiers of the Xijing Army, which made Yin Ge have a headache for this. had to stop the pace of going to Xianzhou City, send people back for help, and ask for food and Langzhong.

originally thought that the main force of the dragon army was in Dingzhou City, but this time, whether it was Yin Kun or Yin Ge, they didn't bring too much grain and grass when they set off. Now that we know that there is also the main force of the Dragon Army outside, we must prepare for a protracted war, and the grain and grass must be transported to the front line.

Under the city of Dingzhou, Yin Kun fled back with the defeated soldiers first, and the letter with Yin Ge asking for help was also sent back.

Yin Yuhu looked at the defeated army, and he was angry.

Let you sneak attack, and you can all encounter the main force of the dragon army, doesn't that mean that I am facing an empty city now?

Okay, even if you say it's an empty city, then attack it. Yin Yuhu gave an order, and his 60,000 soldiers began to attack Dingzhou City in front of him in stages.

On the tower of Dingzhou City, beside each soldier of the guard regiment, there were four assistant peasant soldiers.

This is what Su Shi said about bringing the old with the new. Although these peasant assistants have not undergone formal military training, they have gained a certain understanding of war and how to fight it every day in the past few days.

"Don't panic, everyone, listen to my orders in a while, and release the arrows when I say them. It doesn't matter if you can't shoot it accurately, just shoot the arrow first. You can practice the things that are accurate later."

The soldiers of the Guard Regiment repeated similar words, each encouraging the four peasant soldiers beside him.

In short, once the enemy has launched a siege battle, shoot them down with a bow and arrow. Don't ask how many enemies you can hurt, as long as you let the opponent know that the defense in the city is very tight, the purpose of the same army is achieved.

With Su Shi here, the arrows are naturally enough, and this is their advantage.

Su Shi didn't prepare any sleepers and fire oil, and even some disgusting golden soup. He just wants to use this battle to train more peasant soldiers. Want to occupy the entire high at a later date

Li, you can't do it without enough troops.

The peasant soldiers were indeed a little nervous, but fortunately, they were surrounded by battle-hardened guards soldiers. With them around to teach from time to time, everyone's nervousness is gone.

When, after several days of preparation, the enemy still didn't make any moves, everyone was no longer so nervous. It wasn't until now that the Xijing Army was really about to start attacking the city, and everyone's hearts were raised again.

It's just that compared to a few days ago, when the Xijing army pressed the city, the tension was far less intense.

That's where human adaptability comes in.

Under the city, the dense Xijing army carried ladders and approached the city wall. Just before they reached the range of the fire, some of the peasant soldiers who went to the battlefield for the first time had already nervously released the arrows in their hands. ap.

It fell from a high altitude and plunged into the ground, forming a network of arrows.

The bow and arrow fell, which really startled the Xijing army.

It was the first time for the peasants to go to the battlefield, and for many Xijing soldiers, why didn't they go to the battlefield for the first time?

Goryeo has been peaceful for too many years, and there are very few soldiers who have actually participated in the war. And most of them have just killed mountain bandits, like this siege battle, many people have encountered it for the first time.

These Xijing soldiers did not have the same treatment as helping peasant soldiers, and there were veterans around them. And they don't look like helping peasant soldiers, knowing that this is fighting for themselves, they just took the meager copper coins given by Yin Yuhu, and regarded being a soldier as a place to eat.

Even if you are here to mess around, then there is no need to really work hard. When the bow and arrow fell from the city tower, many Xijing soldiers were frightened, regardless of whether the bow and arrow could shoot themselves, whether they were still some distance away from themselves, some people threw down the ladder and turned around and fled.

"The enemy has withdrawn!"

On the top of the Dingzhou City Tower, the soldiers of the guard regiment were a little inexplicable when they saw this scene. But the peasant soldiers around him jumped up happily one by one.

Originally, I thought that I had no combat experience, so I should feel scared. But when the facts appeared in front of them, they realized that the enemy was not much stronger than themselves, and even inferior.

This time, the retreat of the Xijing Army greatly boosted the morale of the peasant soldiers, and they were no longer as scared as before, giving them more confidence in winning the battle.

Yin Yuhu saw the army besieging the city, and fled back without even going downstairs, gritting his teeth with hatred.

"Waste, a bunch of waste. Send out your own soldiers, and kill those who dare to retreat from the battlefield!"

After an order, a group of personal cavalry rushed out and came to the siege soldiers of the Xijing army who were retreating, and when they raised their swords and killed dozens of people in a row, they finally contained the retreat of the army.

In the shouting and scolding of a personal soldier, without a choice, the Xijing army had to come to Dingzhou City again. Compared to just now, they all had fear on their faces.

Above the city tower, the peasants and soldiers were greatly boosted and in high spirits. This time, everyone was not so nervous, and they were all ready to wait for the enemy to get close to the city before firing arrows.

The Xijing army tried to advance step by step, walked through the ground full of arrows before, and still didn't see bows and arrows falling on the city tower, so they were relieved one by one and began to stride forward. But as soon as they entered the range of the bow and arrow, the arrows rained down, knocking down the Xijing troops who were rushing to the front one by one.

"Run!"

Seeing that the comrades around him who were still jumping alive just now, he was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground and died. Some of the Xijing soldiers were so frightened that they turned around and fled again.

The second siege failed.

All this may seem like a joke, but in ancient wars, it often happened.

Under the premise that even having enough to eat has become a luxury, the morale of the soldiers is not high and their physical strength is insufficient. In many cases, a siege will turn into a siege, and in the end it depends on how much food is hoarded in the city, and it depends on who is relying on it to the end.

The Xijing army was defeated again, and the city

The peasants upstairs were confident.

I thought that the Xijing army was so powerful that defending the city would be a difficult and dangerous thing. Now it seems that they are condescending, there is no danger at all, and they are fully capable of pushing the enemy back under the walls.

It's just that the peasant soldiers don't want to think about it, who can provide them with inexhaustible arrows like Su Shi?

If you don't have enough weapons and equipment, how can you waste your bow and arrows like this, and you won't have to defeat the enemy twice.

"Is this what you call the main forces of the dragon army out there?" Seeing Yin Yuhu after the siege army retreated twice, he looked at Yin Kun and said angrily.

With so many bows and arrows falling from the towers of the city, could it be the main force that could do it?

Yin Kun was also speechless by the facts in front of him. Judging from the current situation, there are indeed a lot of dragon troops defending the city, but the problem is that he encountered the main force of the real dragon army, more than 10,000 people.

Didn't the previous intelligence say that the army under the Dragon Heavenly King was less than 10,000 people? But what is happening in front of you, what the hell is going on?

"Okay, let's besiege the city first, but this king wants to see how much grain there is in the city, and how long they can hold out with so many troops stationed in the city. Continue to besiege the city, and at the same time allocate a part of the grain and grass to Yin Ge." Yin Yuhu shook his arms, turned around and returned to his big tent after giving the military order.

Even if the siege of the city is so laborious, then if it is not well attacked, it will be a protracted war. Let's see who can last longer.

At that time, the Dragon King did not dare to go out of the city to fight with him, so he led his troops to collect all the grain outside the city, and he could achieve his goal.

Yin Yuhu gave up his plan to attack because he himself did not have enough confidence to capture the city.
