Chapter 439: Gao Yu's New Skill

The party men abandoned their horses, jumped to the ground, and took the legs of the loops, which had been deformed by their years of riding, and took the scimitars that they did not have in their hands, and cut the ropes and the stakes that were erected on the battlefield.

This opportunity is so rare, how could it be missed?

The Song army had long been hungry and thirsty, and under Li Kui's order, it rushed into the party like a wild horse that had escaped. The head is not a watermelon, how to cut it, how to have it, but at this time, the head of the party cavalry who dismounted is really not much different from a watermelon.

The difference may be that it takes a little effort.

The war horse lost its speed, and the party could still condescendingly slash and kill, although the effect was not very good, but if he was willing to use the scimitar in his hand as a hidden weapon, he could still cause some trouble to the Song army.

But the party members standing on the ground, holding scimitars, with strange mustaches, and the iconic Fushou hairstyle, waited for the battle, and Song Jun's confidence rose.

This is the head delivered to the door!

Don't cut white, don't cut.

After paying huge casualties, the party members finally cut off the hidden stakes and triphorses arranged by Li Kui on the battlefield, and they also took the triphorses back very carefully.

Speaking of tripping, the rope seems to be very high-end, but in fact, it is a hemp rope, as long as it is a relatively strong rope, it can be used. Although Li Kui doesn't have much of this thing in his hand, it doesn't have much use to come.

Take it away, Li Kui is not heartbroken.

However, Gao Yu's heart ached, the party members left at least more than 500 corpses, and if these tripping ropes were used again, the effect would be greater.

"General, my ......"

Halfway through his words, he clenched the hemp rope in his hand and couldn't help but shed tears. Don't look at the party, the people will send 500,000 troops to launch a national war at every turn. However, the party is a steppe tribe, and although it has entered a state of semi-farming, the army still retains the original system. By drawing troops according to the tribe, it can be said that the soldiers lost by the commander were his relatives, slaves, and servants. Most of these people are the private property of the commander, and the loss is so great that it is equivalent to being on the verge of bankruptcy, can you not be sad?

Historically, the party members launched two national wars and sent 500,000 troops, once against the Northern Song Dynasty and once against the Western Xia, both of which were won.

But for the party members, these two national wars also exhausted the Western Xia's family funds, if these 500,000 people were lost, then Li Yuanhao would face a desperate situation - Western Xia would become a country without men. Of course, it is not completely devoid of men, boys under the age of ten, and old men over the age of sixty can still make up some.

If he really arrived at that step in the field, it would only be a matter of time before Li Yuanhao was defeated and committed suicide.

Wugutai had a calm face, he knew the thoughts of his subordinates, but he couldn't compensate his subordinates.

The grassland tribe has the law of the grassland tribe, the weak surrender to the strong, and once the strong enter the weak period, it is not impossible for the family to perish. Even the monarch will not interfere with the annexation of the nobles below. But at the same time, the law of the steppe is the law of strength, and only the strong can keep their offspring, tribes and legends.

Wugutai didn't know if it was worth exchanging hundreds of lives for the Song army's stumbling block. But he had to do something.

His cavalry could not rush across the battlefield from the flank of the Song army, because the battlefield chosen by Li Kui was too good, it was very close to the cliff, and of course the party cavalry could rush over, but the narrow passage would expose the cavalry to the Song crossbowmen and become a live target. On the other side is the river, God knows how deep the river is, once the river is crossed, there is no chance, and the disadvantage after the division of troops is obvious, and the Wugutai does not dare to divide the troops at all.

After comforting his subordinates, he was about to open his mouth to give the order and continue the attack, but was interrupted by the exclamation of his subordinates: "My lord, the Song army has retreated!" ”

Wugutai hurriedly looked at the Song army, and sure enough, as his subordinates said, the Song army retreated, and retreated at least a hundred paces.

Dog thief!

Just now, the Song army retreated so much, and then there was a stumbling block on the way of the sons' charge.

Could this be that Song Jun has a pit?

Wu Gutai trembled angrily, and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood: "Despicable, shameless, and obscene!" ”

"General, what shall we do?"

At this point, in addition to the wave of attacks that the party members had just entered the battlefield, which was expected by the party members, the various unfavorable situations after that consumed too many of their battlefield psychological advantages, and the party members seemed to have fallen into the rhythm of the Song army. If this continues, the morale will soon be depleted by the insidious Song people. The Wugutai was caught in a dilemma.

Beat?

It is likely to jump into the giant pit of the Song army, and one after the other.

Don't fight!

The warriors under his command, almost 800 people's lives have been lost, if they don't fight at this time, won't these people die in vain?

Wu Gutai did not dare to give the order to withdraw the army, once he withdrew, his prestige in the tribe would be greatly challenged, and even because of this defeat, his official position would be wiped out to the end.

Speaking of the official position of Western Xia, I have to say that Li Yuanhao is a person.

This product is a student party, which copied the official position structure of the Great Song Dynasty and used it when the Western Xia was founded. Only the official position of prime minister is called differently in Western Xia, but Shang Shuling was added as the prime minister, and all the general affairs of the Western Xia State were added. Well, don't be surprised at this time, the official position of Western Xia is exactly the same as that of the Great Song Dynasty. Western Xia also had privy envoys, as well as official positions such as the Imperial History Zhongcheng and the Zhongshu Sheren.

But Li Yuanhao is a person with aspirations after all, how can he admit that he plagiarized?

Decisively added a new element to the official position, upper, middle, next, and last, five levels. As the name suggests, the same scripture and strategy, the Northern Song Dynasty has a name, but in the Western Xia has become a name, five levels, one official position can attract five talents, just ask if it is fragrant. In addition, the Western Xia also retained the original official system, such as: kings, kings, chiefs, commanders, chiefs, chiefs, Angnie, Angxing, Moge, Ani, Barang...... The redundant officials of the Western Xia seem to be the most serious state of this era, much more serious than the Northern Song Dynasty.

After all, in Western Xia, as long as you are not a slave or a slave, you can be an official. Even the Tangut people couldn't tell how many official positions their country had.

In countries where there are more officials than dogs, once they lose their official positions, Wugutai will not be able to protect them at all except for sending his wife and children to his brother-in-law's house.

In Western Xia, Wugutai is an official who raises horses, don't dislike Bi Ma Wen, this is not small in Western Xia, if you have to be respectful and respectful in the officialdom, Lord Musi. It's a pity that there are too many officials in Western Xia, so many that their subordinates can't tell the difference. Therefore, when you go to the battlefield, you can't be wrong to call a general.

When it comes to official fortunes, Wugutai has no choice.

Beat!

It has to be fought.

But before the cavalry charged, the party cavalry had to check the battlefield for pits.

Once, there was a second time.

The officials of the Western Xia did a good job in this regard, most of them knew their strengths and advantages, and their strength and bravery were better than those of the Song army, but they also had disadvantages, and their brains were relatively wasteful.

Wugutai, who was afraid of being tricked again, put together hundreds of leather shields for the soldiers, and the effect of one leather shield was definitely not good, but tying up the two sides could at least give the party soldiers who were used as cannon fodder a little more dispensable sense of security.

Time passed little by little, and after paying the casualties of 200 people, the party members once again discovered and filled in the pit dug by the insidious Song army.

This time it's not one, it's a piece.

Trapped.

This kind of pit is very small, the size of a bowl, and the depth is about a foot, if it is dug on the plain, as long as the cavalry runs through this area, it is inevitable that people will turn over on their backs. A horse caught in a trap will break its leg in an instant due to its speed and weight. At the same time as the horse fell to the ground, the knight also flew out because of the speed, and he still went out with a ball of noodles, and his luck was almost seriously injured.

It's a pity that the battlefield chosen by the Song army was not ideal, the river beach.

The river beach is the most unsuitable place to arrange a trap, on the one hand, the trap requires a relatively hard ground. Because of the sedimentation of sediment and the soft rocks of the river beach, the soil is soft, and there is no ability to fix and break the horse's leg after it is trapped in it, and only the unlucky will lose its front hooves.

If you run a little slower, you can even step on the trap that the enemy has worked so hard to prepare safely.

After knowing the result, Wugutai was also relieved, he didn't have many troops for him to consume and test again and again. If there were a few more accidents like tripping, his 3,000 men and horses would have collapsed on this battlefield.

Fortunately, God favors you.

The Song army's conspiracy did not succeed.

"Sons, the long knives of the Song people are ten times better than yours, and the armor of the Song people is a hundred times better than yours, kill them all, these are all yours!"

"Nagaru!"

"Nagaru!"

……

A person shouting in the valley can echo for a long time, and more than 2,000 people shouted hoarsely, which suddenly made Song Jun feel great pressure. The ears were filled with the incomprehensible but imposing tone of the party members.

Li Kui calmed the restless war horse and muttered, "I don't know what it means to shout." ”

However, Li Kui estimated that it should be the party members who were going to attack, and the shouts should be cheers such as 'victory' and 'long live'. It's just that there are accidents in everything, Gao Yu said with a strange face: "They are shouting auspicious wishes!" The party members believed that the heavens would favor them on the battlefield, so they usually shouted this when they charged. ”

"Do you know what to do?" Although Li Kui is a pseudo-scholar, he can't compare to a well-educated person who is in the middle of the eight-year period, but Gao Yu is a scumbag! This is still a person from Tokyo, how did he learn the party language?

With this question, Gao Yu finally attracted Li Kui's attention, but he would rather Li Kui not pay attention to him, because Li Kui looked at him with weirdness and disdain in his eyes. But there was no curious surprise, indicating that Li Kui thought that Gao Yu had ulterior motives in learning the party's language.

Heaven and earth conscience, he ...... I really didn't think much about it when I learned it, and I just learned some commonly used sentences, and I was far from being proficient. But he still had to explain to Li Kui aggrievedly, after all, he was a Song man, and if he went to learn the language of Fanbang, it would definitely arouse suspicion! Gao Yu said with a bitter face: "Renjie, I just went to the Sifang Pavilion to find Mr. for a few sentences." ”

"I believe it!" Li Kui nodded lightly and seemed to let Gao Yu go, but asked coldly: "The king spared his life and said that?" ”

"#¥%¥" Gao Yu was about to speak, but immediately shut up vigilantly, and said with a blank expression: "You still don't believe me!" ”
