Chapter 493: City Head, Flanking Attack

In the evening, Zhao Ta was discussing in the big tent.

The generals talked about it, but Zhao Ta just listened.

Many generals have shaved their heads into Western Xia hairstyles and wore Western Xia armor, which looks like a Western Xia military camp.

Li Changshuo was stunned from the sidelines, and these Song generals still popped out some party language from time to time, and they regarded themselves as party members.

After a while, Zhao Ta looked at Li Changshuo: "Will Brother Richard personally lead the troops here?" ”

Li Changshuo snorted coldly and turned his head.

Zhao Tan smiled and looked at Yuan Guo again.

Yuan Guo was a little excited to participate in this kind of military meeting for the first time, and felt that he had gained Zhao Ta's trust, and immediately said: "General, the villain thinks that Brother Richard's thief will not come in person. ”

Zhao said: "How can you see it? ”

Yuan Guo said: "This thief has always been conceited, his eyes are empty, and Shikikawa is not a military secretary, how can he personally come to the rescue and do such a thing?" Most of them just sent a few generals to lead the troops. ”

Zhao Ta nodded: "It makes sense, but I don't know how many people the other party is going to come yet." ”

He said and looked at Lee Changshuo again.

Li Changshuo couldn't hold back anymore and said, "How do I know this!" ”

Zhao Ta smiled: "It's okay, tomorrow Inspector Li will put on his helmet and stand at the head of the city to greet him!" ”

"You ......" Li Changshuo was so angry that his eyes were full of stars, but he didn't scold, he wanted to paralyze the other party, he couldn't act too fiercely, and he couldn't provoke the other party to kill him directly.

In this way, when he is at the head of the city tomorrow, he opens his mouth to remind the incoming reinforcements that this Fuchuan City has fallen into the hands of Song Gou, and he must not fall into Song Gou's ambush.

Since the other party wants to make an appearance of him in the city, he will definitely not gag his mouth, nor will he be tied to him, as long as he does not do this, he will have a chance to act, even if he cuts his tongue, he is not unable to make a sound, if he is forced with a knife in the back, he just jumps up and sacrifices himself.

Zhao Ta ignored him, but discussed with the generals for a while, and then dispersed the meeting.

Early the next morning, Zhao Ta led troops inside the city and Du Yan led troops outside the city and began to make a play.

Similar to drills, staged a pretended siege scene, coming and going, also putting some flying artillery arrows, erecting ladders, it looks decent.

In the afternoon, the sky gradually overshadowed again, and the two sides withdrew their troops.

On this day, reinforcements did not come.

It rained in the evening, and then overnight, and the water in the lakes and ditches outside increased, almost completely covering up the traces of the flooding of the river two days before.

The next day, it was a sunny day, the blue sky was like washing, Zhao Ta inspected the four cities, and suddenly there was an urgent report from Tanma, saying that a large group of Western Xia troops in the northeast was rushing to the side of Fuchuan.

Zhao Tan groaned slightly, due east is Huizhou, northeast is Shatuo, Yingli line, and then up is the edge of the Jingsai Military Division, and then the edge of the Xiangqing Army, Helan Mountain, and the turn is the boundary of Xingqing Mansion.

Although I don't know where this Western Xia team came from, it is definitely not a Huizhou soldier, not a Huizhou soldier, that is, a reinforcement sent by Richard Brother.

He hurriedly led people to Beicheng, this team must have passed through Beicheng, and when they reached the head of the city over there, the second wave of probes reported that the number of the other party was not less than 10,000, and the number of cavalry at the head was three or four thousand.

Zhao Ta looked at Li Changshuo on the side and said with a smile: "Brother Richard really counts his words, sending so many people to support, I'm afraid they are all elite soldiers, right?" ”

Li Changshuo remained silent, for fear that he would anger Zhao Ta at this time and spoil his own calculations.

Seeing his expression, Zhao Tan smiled coldly: "Come on, bring the needle box!" ”

Later, Shi Qian immediately held a box of silver needles, he opened the box and gently twisted one, only to see that the needles were as thin as cow's hair, shining in the sun.

Li Changshuo was stunned: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Ta looked Li Changshuo up and down, and said lightly: "Use needles for Li Inspection." ”

At this time, acupuncture and moxibustion were not only popular in the Great Song Dynasty, but also used in Western Xia and Liao to treat diseases, and later generations found that the earliest acupuncture and moxibustion acupoints bronze people came from the Song Dynasty.

Li Changshuo knew that silver acupuncture could cure diseases, but he never thought that Zhao Ta wanted to cure him, and he must have done something unspeakably vicious.

"Take off your helmet and flip your collar off!" Zhao Ta commanded.

Ding Ercrab immediately did it, and then Zhao Ta looked at the bone protrusion on the skin on the back of Li Changshuo's neck, raised his fingers, and gave a needle in an instant.

"Ah, what are you doing?!" Li Changshuo felt something sink into his flesh and suddenly roared.

Zhao Ta didn't pay attention to his reaction at all, his fingers seemed to be flying, and seven stitches fell in a few clicks, all in the neck.

Li Changshuo only felt that the skin on his face, including his scalp, was paralyzed, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, his lips were open, his teeth were exposed, and his saliva was flowing.

But he could still speak at the moment, "What...... Demon magic, take out that needle quickly......"

As Zhao Ta "poofed" twice, after inserting a silver needle behind his left and right ears, his voice stopped abruptly, and he couldn't speak.

Li Changshuo was suddenly shocked, what kind of means this is, it was unheard of, and he could clearly feel that his face seemed to be a happy expression, but because of the paralysis and stiffness, this expression could be maintained all the time.

This is not good, Li Changshuo naturally knows what Zhao Ta wants to do, and he is not going to make a show for the reinforcements, the distance between the city and the city is not close, if he looks like this, the reinforcements below must think that he is happy, isn't this a bad thing?

Li Changshuo moved his legs and feet slightly, his legs and feet were fine, although he was tied up, he still felt that he could move, in this case, after untying him for a while, he jumped directly from the city and died with his will.

But before he could finish thinking in his heart, he saw Zhao Ta's hands flying, and several silver needles were all pierced on his arms, waist, and legs.

After just a few breaths, these places began to tingle, but after a moment, all of them lost consciousness.

Only his eyes can move at the moment, and he can't command anything else, if it is not his own.

Li Changshuo was extremely shocked in his heart, the other party used this evil method to freeze him, wouldn't all the things he had expected come to naught? Can you only help Song Jun with the show?

And if the Song army really succeeds in sneaking up on reinforcements, he will no longer be able to say clearly, he can't tell if he is alive, even if he is dead, he can't prove his innocence!

"Okay, Inspector Li's eyes are wider, and he will be able to express surprise even more!" Zhao Ta clapped his hands and smiled at this time.

He didn't use any advanced skills, but Huang Sheng gave him the "Big Dipper Six Ways Sutra" to record the meridians and acupoints of the arts, the Big Dipper Six Ways Sutra is divided into two volumes, the upper volume is some miscellaneous skills, meridian medical knowledge, there are many methods to control the human body through acupuncture and moxibustion acupoints.

Li Changshuo stood there speechless and unable to move, his eyes were "purring", and with the happy expression on his face, it was a little funny.

Zhao Ta raised his chin in front of the battlement, Bai Ba and Bai Zhan immediately carried Li Changshuo over, and then Yuan Guo proudly escorted the personal entourage to the field.

This personal entourage saw Li Changshuo with his back to him, motionless, and was really afraid in his heart, after all, he betrayed the other party, and he was always a little uneasy.

Yuan Guo kicked him: "Look at what, don't hurry up and salute the general." ”

The relatives hurriedly saluted Zhao Ta, and Zhao Ta said: "Have you remembered all the things I told you yesterday?" ”

He nodded his head: "Remember, remember!" ”

Zhao Ta said lightly: "If you don't learn it like when the time comes, it will be a big deal, but your head will not be protected!" ”

Qin Sui suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Don't worry, the villain has followed Li Changshuo, the thief, for many years, although his voice is not said to be very similar, but there is always no problem with seven or eight points." ”

Li Changshuo heard it in front of him at this moment, his lungs were almost about to explode, and he had guessed that he had betrayed him personally, but at this moment, he even wanted to pretend to be his voice to deceive the reinforcements, and he couldn't help but be angry, and wanted to break this relative's corpse into thousands of pieces before he could relieve his hatred, but it was a pity that even if he hated it in his heart, it was difficult to move, and he couldn't even speak.

Zhao Ta said: "Untie the rope of Inspector Li." ”

The two brothers of the Bai family immediately opened the rope on Li Changshuo's body and pulled it out, and then supported him left and right.

Zhao Ta said to his relatives: "You go and stand behind you." ”

Personally following the order, he stood up close to Li Changshuo, and then Zhao Ta signaled to Li Yanxian again, both of them wore the armor of the deputy general of Shichuan City, and immediately stepped forward to take over the two brothers of the Bai family to support Li Changshuo.

Then everyone in the city put on a posture of looking from afar, and Zhao Ta and the three of them were even more motionless, just waiting for Brother Richard's reinforcements to come to the city.

About two quarters of an hour, I saw dust and smoke billowing in the distance under the city, and I don't know how many people and horses galloped in.

Zhao Ta's face was overjoyed, and he shouted in party words: "Reinforcements are coming!" ”

Li Changshuo next to him really wanted to die when he heard this, but at this moment, death has become a luxury for him, and he can only look out with a stupid face.

The army and horse team arrived at the city in a few breaths, led by two generals, both riding high-headed war horses, one with a big spear hanging on a bird's wing ring, and the other carrying a pole Fang Tian painting halberd.

Zhao Ta quietly stretched out his hand and held up Li Changshuo's arm without a trace, making him look like he was greeting him from the city.

He didn't know if the reinforcement generals knew Li Changshuo, but it was necessary to make a familiar gesture at this moment, so as not to be suspicious of the other party.

The following immediately shouted, and hurriedly imitated the voice to answer correctly, and said a few words back and forth, and the other party did not suspect it at all.

Next, according to Zhao Ta's teaching, he directly invited the other party into the city, but was rejected by the other party, and mocked a few words without being salty, obviously dissatisfied with Li Changshuo's request for help.

After talking for a while, the other party began to be impatient, and actually turned the horse's head and went directly to the city to rush to the village, so that the city would immediately send troops to cooperate.

Zhao Ta hurriedly asked his relatives to agree, and then turned around with Li Changshuo in his arms, making it look like he was going to transfer the army.

Although Li Changshuo's facial expression was paralyzed, his face was iron-blue, and he thought to himself, everything is over, and the two fools outside can't even tell if he is talking!

After taking a few steps, Zhao Ta let go of Li Changshuo, frowned and calculated, the other party actually had more than 10,000 men and nearly 20,000 people, but this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that the other party actually has elite soldiers.

Whether it is an elite soldier can be seen at a glance, especially when the other party rushes over to stop, the order is forbidden, and the discipline is strict, which is by no means comparable to ordinary soldiers.

There are not many elite soldiers in the reinforcements, about a few thousand, but the elite soldiers are all one enemy, three enemies and five enemies on the battlefield, and a few thousand are actually rare.

He looked at Li Yanxian and said, "Shaoyan will go down to the city, take people out from the north gate, and then attack these reinforcements with the camp army and horses!" ”

Li Yanxian immediately led the order to trot down the city, and Zhao Ta then rushed to the city gatehouse to signal, and Shi Qian led the jade lion in the night.

He did not bring a red horse on this expedition, but rode a lamp alone for thousands of miles, and at this moment he turned over and got on his mount, ran directly at the head of the city, and went to the west city.

After arriving in Xicheng, I only saw that the reinforcements had just come, after all, not all cavalry, and I had to take into account the infantry, so I needed to press some speed.

He hurriedly jumped off his mount and came to the top of the city gate, where a row of bed crossbows and a row of heaviest shots were lined up.

Zhao Ta raised his hand slightly, asked the crossbowmen and artillery to prepare, and then stood in front of the battlement, only to see that the shouting and killing had started, and the reinforcements were running in the direction of the city gate, which was the closest place to the straight line of the distant camp.

But it didn't matter, the important thing was that the reinforcements thought that the city should send troops from the west gate.

But no, the reinforcements were obviously stagnant and a little puzzled, but at this moment, the horn sounded in the camp in the distance, and Du Yan led a large group of men and horses to kill them.

The two generals of the reinforcements immediately shouted at the head of the city and asked, Zhao Ta replied in Western Xia dialect that the troops were sent to the north of the city, and the next one scolded loudly, it was nothing more than a cowardice like a mouse, a waste and the like, obviously not realizing that there was a problem with this Sichuan City.

But this is really not to blame them, Li Changshuo is not only the Western Xia clan, but also a close confidant of Brother Richard, standing at the head of the city and answering Everyone saw and heard, this can't be half a penny, with their understanding of Li Changshuo, although this person is usually cautious, but he will never surrender to the Song State.

What's more, coming around the city for most of the time, the city is full of Xia troops, the armor and weapons, and the small braids on both sides of the head can't be faked.

The two generals were helpless, Beicheng sent troops obviously to let them take the lead, but it was also in line with Li Changshuo's usual behavior, the two glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and then the army was directly separated, and the two of them each brought a troop and horses, and outflanked them in a figure-eight shape.

Seeing this, Zhao Tan couldn't help but say "um", this Brother Richard has a way of training soldiers, and he still has this kind of play.

The two reinforcements were outflanked by the cavalry behind them, and directly flashed out the infantry behind them, these infantry troops were not the same, the heads were all archers, followed by spearmen, then swordsmen, and then a layer of archers.

Zhao Ta touched his chin at the head of the city, feeling that he had underestimated the Western Xia army before, and since he had passed through the Qin Wangchuan River, he had fought too smoothly, thinking that the Western Xia army was as rotten as the Liao army, but now it is not the case.

Not to mention the reinforcements sent by Brother Richard, there must be elite soldiers on the border who can fight, and it is estimated that they have all been sent to the Xihe battlefield, and even at this time, the defenders of the city are actually some soldiers who are not very good at fighting and messing around.

In this way, he was able to fight all the way here, but he actually picked up some cheap.

Zhao Ta touched his chin, and looked outside the city with his eyes in his heart, and when Li Yanxian led the people and horses to emerge from the city wall over there, he immediately rushed behind him and dropped his hand.

Suddenly, the artillery crossbows behind moved in unison, making an earth-shattering roar, and the big stone arrows and spears fell towards the reinforcements one after another......
