Chapter 253 Going to the next level
The flood came and went quickly, and many people survived. Some of the land buns and some particularly high-level accounts, including Ye Fengma, were sprayed with clothes, but they were not pulled into the flood.—{2}{3}{w}{x}
Even the soldiers pulled away by the flood were lucky enough to survive. Some were washed to the shore, some were clever and caught some things, and some were washed to low-lying places. As long as they did not rush into the water of Huachi with the flood, there was a way out.
There are also a large number of war horses, and they have a higher chance of survival.
But it looks really miserable for the time being. If the big tent is left, there are only three thousand people alone, less than three thousand people. And they are all cold and afraid, trembling in the howling night wind. And there are two thousand soldiers in the forest.
However, Ye Fengma was stupid and didn't know how to issue an order.
At this moment, the Song Dynasty cavalry of the fourth battalion in the rear rushed towards him.
Ye Fengma heard the neighing of the horses in Liyuan Fort. Yes, there were indeed horses in Liyuan Fort, but the horses of the people and the horses of the strong horses were not the war horses of the cavalry. Including the troops he saw, in fact, only one battalion of officers and soldiers were stationed in Liyuan Fort. The rest were more than a thousand strong men gathered by Wang Ju. The Song Dynasty was changing clothes and armor, and some of the inferior armors were back in the furnace. There were quite a few, and some of them could be barely used, and they were also preserved. Now they were used to let the strong men wear them. The rest were Ding Zhuang selected from the people who took refuge in the city as soldiers and strong men, so it seemed that there were nearly four thousand people.
In fact, the real main forces are scattered in some secrets south of Qingxichuan, or are secretly marching towards Liyuan Fort.
The rest was Ye instructing a battalion of officers and soldiers to Pingrong Town, as well as several soldiers from Pingrong Town itself, as well as the officers and soldiers from Fengchuan Town. Huachi Town is now an empty city. Only some yamen runners are maintaining order.
The Xixia people in the forest also knew about it, and they were also stunned. Who dared to rush across Daliu Bridge and soldiers into Huachi Town? Turn around immediately.
Two thousand soldiers quickly set up camp, not even the tent, and the flood left, but there were still a pool of water puddles on the plains, which was not a problem. But just as they were about to meet, the cavalry of the Fourth Battalion of the Song Dynasty came over.
"Escape." Song Ji shouted immediately.
Although there are still many people now, who are so motivated to fight back?
Then run away.
Ye Fengma and his men fought out a bloody path and fled towards Liyuan Fort.
But he only escaped from the **limb area, and the two battalions of Song Chao soldiers and infants blocked their heads and came to kill them again.
Kill and run away again.
This time, there were no ambushes to intercept them, but the cavalry of the fourth battalion behind him were bitten and kept stubbornly. Wang Ju rode on the horse, and he also killed two Xixia people with arrows, but everyone stopped him. You are the backbone and civil servant. Let us leave this to kill the enemy. Wang Ju thought for a while and said, "Uncle Sangou, I will leave it to you to command. I'll go to Rouyuan Village."
"Okay." Li Sangou replied and continued to kill with his troops. But only the fourth battalion cavalry, the remaining two battalions had to clean up the battlefield, and the war in the rear was not over. Not only the two battalions of soldiers, but also countless people.
Before the release of the water, Wang Ju had sent someone to inform all nearby villages that were there to come out, even if it was a woman, she could come out.
I told these people directly that the Song army flooded the Xixia people and the Xixia people were wiped out. Now I ask you to come out and clean the battlefield. Anyone who catches a prisoner of war or a horse will be rewarded with two stale money. Those who confiscate weapons, armor and supplies will also have a prize, and will even directly reward you with tents and other supplies and some non-standard weapons.
But there is one thing that must not be kept privately, otherwise the Military Law Department will hold it.
This is mainly horse.
Now there is no shortage of horses in Qingzhou, but there are still few horses? There are Poche troops on Huanqing Road. In order to save expenses, the two battalions of Qingzhou Poches, the first battalion of Huanzhou Poches, the sixth battalion of Ningzhou Poches, and the fifth battalion of Ganzhou Poches. These Poches are permanent troops. What if they are all transformed into cavalry? That is the 13th battalion of Poches, or learn from Wang Ju, and then select some strong people from the volunteers to enrich them, so that each battalion can reach a 500-man organization. How many war horses do you need?
However, in that case, Huanqing Road will have more than 10,000 cavalry, and the combat effectiveness will not be improved at all.
After the two battalions of infantry completed the interception and killed, they cooperated with the people to clear the battle horses. The same focus was on watching the war horses.
That's a lot of money, don't look at the two-ton of money. Even if Huachi County has become a little better now, it's not a little money. I think Wang Ju used to make a mule for 100 cents.
Besides, there is also hatred towards the people of Xixia.
Therefore, after hearing the notification from the soldiers sent by Wang Ju, everyone was puzzled, but Wang Ju also believed the prestige that he had produced, and some people woke up screaming.
This move is equally ruthless, otherwise many Xixia people could escape from the sky. Just as they came back from their horror, countless people with torches were huddled in the mountains and fields. Now these people are fighting power, and before they even get up, they are swept away by the flood.
Prisoners of war were being captured everywhere, and war horse supplies were being searched everywhere. The scene was so lively that it was no less than the Great Leap Forward.
The war once again moved to Liyuan Fort.
He fled and killed all the way, and finally fled to the front of Liyuan Fort. It was not dawn, it was dawn and the darkest time. However, the movement was too great, and thousands of Xixia soldiers in Liyuan Fort were also awakened.
Then they were also stunned. Why did the commander bring 15,000 soldiers, but now there are only a few hundred soldiers, and they are still so miserably hunted by the Song army?
Ye Fengma shouted from afar: "Be prepared for defense."
However, that would give him a chance.
Yao Yi laughed on the top of the city and said, "Run over."
He only had a battalion of officers and soldiers, and the rest were strong men and ordinary tyrants, but who would not beat the dogs in the water?
Thousands of soldiers and civilians broke out of the city again.
It was not over. The Song army had troops and two more battalions of officers and soldiers rushed in from behind.
For a moment, the Xixia soldiers from Liyuan Fort had countless Song Dynasty soldiers and horses. Guan Ye Fengma had no time to explain. What everyone saw was that he was killed so badly that there were only more than one hundred people left. Therefore, when the two battalions of Song Dynasty soldiers entered the Xixia military camp, the Xixia people finally did not dare to fight and fled towards Dashun City. This escape led the others to escape together.
Li Sangou continued to chase after the cavalry and strong horses, and then stopped after more than ten miles.
Continue to clean the battlefield. But Li Sangou set out again, and there were enemies in Pingrong Town.
…………
Wang Ju rode a horse and ran quickly. Before he arrived at Rouyuan Village, Zhang Yu was leading his men to chase and kill the people of Xixia.
What he is called cruel? If you don’t keep a living, why should you keep it? Once you stay, you will be released after a few months. And he cannot be as "shameless" as Wang Ju. He tortured the prisoners of war so much that they were dying before they were released. It would be better to kill them simply.
Wang Ju stepped forward and said, "Master Zhang, you can't kill him."
"Hey, Magistrate Wang, why are you here?"
"Then I will kill 20,000 troops."
"ah."
"Let's talk about this after dawn. This prisoner of war cannot be killed."
"Why not kill?"
"money."
Think about it, a free labor force does not have to pay wages, or even worry about "human rights", the law, or any good food, let alone worry about life safety and compensation. How much income will be generated in a year when putting it under the mine?
This is a worry that some people are gossiping and cannot be auctioned publicly. Some unconventional means can be used to sell it to various mine owners, otherwise a mine slave can be sold at least forty or fifty cents of coins.
"This is a little bit bad."
"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, you don't have to come forward. There will be some channels to sell it, and the money has reached the pockets of tens of thousands of soldiers who have made contributions. Will the court deal with tens of thousands of soldiers who have made great contributions?"
"Hahaha, according to your opinion, I will order immediately and surrender and not kill." Zhang Yu said.
Then he said: "Inspector Yao asked you to lead the broken ones, and I asked you to lead the broken ones too."
"It's not that it's broken, but that it's that it's going to bring out an iron army."
“Not bad, not bad.”
"You are busy, I'll go to Qingzhou City." Wang Ju said. Zhang Yu was so happy that he continued to beat the dog in the water.
Wang Ju rushed to Qingzhou City again.
It was dawn, and Wang Ju entered the city and found Cai Ting directly, saying, "Mr. Cai, a great victory."
“Tell me.”
Wang Ju briefly reported the battle situation. As for Liyuan Fort, he had not seen it yet, but there would be no problem there. If that happens, Yao Shi and Li Sangou could not fight well, and he would not be called the hero whom the next two Yao and Ye Li met Qi liked.
"Mr. Cai, I have an arrangement," Wang Ju said his plan again.
"We have few troops." Cai Ting hesitated a little. If we follow the original goal, it will be completed 100%, or even 200%.
I believe that after Li Liangzuo heard about it, hesitated for two or three days and would inevitably withdraw his troops.
If there is no way to fight again, and send troops again, what if it ends like this again? At that time, the Song army and the officers and soldiers of Dashun City joined forces and the entire army was wiped out. He could only retreat. Once he retreated, Cai Ting was satisfied. He and the soldiers of Qingzhou not only repelled Li Liangzuo's 100,000 troops, but also killed Li Liangzuo's 30,000 to 40,000 troops. This was not only a victory, but it was already a brilliant victory, no less than the Great Victory of Tumaochuan. Of course, Zhang Kang's situation was even worse at that time, and his military resources were less than one-tenth of that of Qingzhou now.
However, Wang Juxin was very wild, and he stared at Li Liangzuo's central army again.
"Mr. Cai, think about the Battle of Feishui. Once we complete the arrangements I set up, the situation will be better than the Battle of Feishui. And the difference in military strength is not that big. How many soldiers and horses have arrived in Xixia now is an unknown number, and I plan to be 100,000 or 110,000. Now Xixia has lost 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses. How many soldiers and horses are there in Dashun City?"
"Let someone think about it."
"If it is over now, it will be just a great victory for Maochuan, and it is even less than that. But if you take advantage of the victory, it will be a battle that has been recorded in history, and even if you are in the future, you will be comparable to Xie An. "
"Don't bewitch me, boy."
"It's not a temptation, but a fact, and time is really limited. Li Liangzuo may soon receive news of the two divisions of troops' defeat. He will definitely be unwilling to give up today and will definitely be angry, but this anger is at most one or two days. Once he goes down, he will have to make a choice, so he will inevitably withdraw his troops. By then, there will be no time to do anything."
"Can the officers and soldiers of Huachi County keep up with their physical strength?" Cai Ting asked. If Wang Ju's plan was adopted, the officers and soldiers of Huachi County would be the main force. It's nothing else. They have the longest training time and have achieved several big victories. The morale, martial arts, and practical experience are far better than other officers and soldiers in Qingzhou.
But this physical strength needs to be considered.
Wang Ju almost cheered in his heart. Cai Ting agreed to his opinion. He said: "Mr. Cai, don't worry about this. The battle in Liyuan Castle will not last too long."
In a battle, it may take place for a long time, such as the Xining attack on Xia in the Song Dynasty, but in a battle, it usually lasts too long. Even the collision between the two famous generals Li Jilong and Yelu Xiuge, the battle between Tanghe and Xuhe, the battle between the Tanghe River and the battle between Xuhe River, all decided the outcome in a very short time, and then the pursuit battle was carried out.
Cai Ting nodded, it was easy to understand.
"Then clean the battlefield and the infantry rested quickly. Only the fourth battalion of cavalry was working harder, and they had to rush to Pingrong Town. According to the news from the scout yesterday afternoon, three thousand enemy soldiers were attacking Zewei Village, and seemed to want to go south to Huachi Town and meet with the main army of Xixia. However, there was a road from Liyuan Fort directly to Zewei Village, and the officials were also arranged. Their main task was to defeat the enemy, and the rest were handed over to the battalion of officers and soldiers, the strong men and the soldiers of each village. They could get a few more hours of rest. And they had just won a great victory and their morale was at a strong time, which was also a favorable point."
Cai Ting was meditating.
Of course, if there is a great victory, even if it is not as good as the battle between Xie An and Feishui, it will be a rare victory after Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty. Maybe he will enter the two palaces by himself.
