It was this chapter that was stuck. It turned out that there was no transition in this chapter. I felt very dry after writing it. It took me a day to think of this chapter and control my sense of rhythm. Sweat, high-intensity typing, and I don’t have enough brains.

…………

For the Song army, this was a fire of hope, but for the Xixia people, this was a fire of despair.

Almost in an instant, the Xixia soldiers watched the thick flames in the western sky.

This is a big problem.

Of course, the territory of Xixia is behind, but the key is that there are not a few thousand people. Even if it is 10,000 or 20,000 people, it will be burned and then evacuated to the rear and still be supplied. Now there are so many people, how much supply can there be in the back of the fortresses? The fatal one is Hengshan, which is relatively sparsely populated. Even if you search for food from the people, you can’t collect much food. Moreover, for this battle, you have already confiscated a large amount of food and grass from the people. Then you can copy it. How can the people survive?

This fever means that more than 90% of the soldiers will go hungry tomorrow and will not be able to eat.

The drum sounded again, and five rapid short drums.

The trumpet sounded again, with a long trombone sound.

This is the order issued by Cai Ting.

There are no developed communication equipment now, and often there are large battles and the battlefield is large, so it is unlikely to shout and send orders. Therefore, the commander commands with a banner or a drum to command and issue orders.

Five short and one long, this is an order issued to Dashun City.

There are two ways of playing in Dashun City now. The first way is to send troops to attack Xixia's Xiying, so that the people of Xixia dare not divide too much force to the east of the city. Perhaps the people of Xixia are in trouble and must rush to the east of the city from the small hill road to the south, but this problem does not exist in Dashun City. Once the east gate of the south city is opened, the soldiers can directly run to the battlefield in the east of the city. Once the two gates in the west of the city are opened, the soldiers can directly attack the Xixia military camp in the west of the city.

There is another way, all the troops come out together and launch a direct attack on the Xixia people in the east of the city.

It's all forces...

Time was pushing back ten hours, and Wang Ju was persuading Cai Ting, but Cai Ting was hesitant.

Wang Ju said again: "Donald Cai, if we cannot burn the enemy's rear food and grass, we can immediately take advantage of the darkness and withdraw our troops immediately."

Of course, the Xixia people had no plans to build the Twelve Pan Fort at that time.

Then he moved Cai Ting.

But Cai Ting can't be blamed, first of all, the difference in military strength is a bit large.

Compared with the Song army, the Xixia army was afraid of death. It cannot be said that the Xixia people were afraid of death. If they were led by a heavy general like Ren Fu, they could fight fierce battles. It cannot be said that the Song army was not afraid of death. Although there were wars like Junzi Hall and Good Shuichuan, they were still a minority. This one is almost the same.

The cooperation between the Western Xia army was not as good as that of the Song army. They fought on this narrow battlefield, crowded with tens of thousands of troops, limiting the role of the Western Xia cavalry, and perhaps resulting in a heavy infantry armor.

For this battle, the Song army prepared for a long time. Most of the morale was trained and stronger than before.

However, compared with the Western Xia army, the Song army lacked practical experience and even more confidence in victory. After the Chanyuan Alliance, the Song army only won a few battles, and the rest were both defeated and defeated. This one was also very important.

So the letter Yao Xiong sent back came in time, otherwise Cai Ting might hesitate and withdrew the army. After all, if he dragged it down, it would be dawn. The battalion of foreign cavalry broke and the troops in Dashun City were also trapped. His own army could not withdraw to the rear fortress in time.

Cai Ting couldn't think of these two changes at the time, so he thought that Wang Ju's method was still feasible, and he could advance or retreat. Even if there was an accident, the officers and soldiers of the two battalions were defeated. As for those Yeli tribes, can Cai Ting manage them?

Only then did he finally agree with Wang Ju's strategy.

In the final analysis, it is for promotion or reputation.

The so-called preservation of the laws of nature and elimination of human desires may be that some people are lustful, some are rich, some are good at power, and some are good at fame. These are always good. There are people who have no desires and no desires, but how many people can there be?

However, Cai Ting's goodness is obviously better than Sun Mian's goodness.

However, what made Cai Ting the most headache was the force of troops. Compared with the Xixia people, the Song army had too few troops.

Once the melee begins, the defeat of a local battlefield will often lead to the defeat of the entire three armies. So Cai Ting was anxious and then transferred the soldiers of the two battalions of Huanzhou near the battlefield.

This is learning from Li Yuanhao, concentrating his troops, and determining the outcome in one battle.

So let the troops in Dashun City be full of all the troops.

It is not dawn yet, but soon, at most an hour, it will be dawn. Now it is a melee, and the Xixia people are divided into two parts, which is very beneficial to the Song army. However, as soon as the sky is dawn, the battlefield situation can be seen clearly, and the Xixia people can also transfer the troops from the west of the city, which is gradually unfavorable to the Song army.

Therefore, it is necessary to defeat the Xixia people in the east of the city at dawn, and they will start to flee. Even the Xixia army in the west of the city will also cause chaos. Once the three armies are all in chaos, no matter how many troops are, they will not be able to do so.

Only then did Cai Ting let all the three armies in Dashun City come out.

The diagnosis will also be helpful, and immediately mobilize all troops in the city and leave the city one after another to participate in the war.

Zhang Feng looked at the battlefield. This situation was very beneficial to the Song army, but he vaguely felt that nothing had been done well.

Cai Ting had similar thoughts since the morning, but he was not as clear as Zhang Feng.

In fact, the reason is very simple. The planning ability of several generals has not reached a certain level, and there will definitely be accidents, such as the Battle of Poyang Lake. But if you abandon that small accident, Zhu Yuanzhang has a clear idea. In the victory, luck accounts for not too high. The main reason is to make plans, wisdom and command, which is why he achieved the Poyang Lake Victory.

If you win more with less, you must use more tricks. The tricks are dangerous. However, compared with the Poyang Lake victory, the Song army felt a bit bumpy and bumpy, which is a bit unsmooth in Zhang Yue.

However, Zhang Feng did not think about it carefully. With the Song army's past record, with just a little force, he could win, and defeat a powerful enemy on the front battlefield. It was no longer easy, so he could pick on it.

But he looked east, even though the Wuchuan Valley in the east of the city was still not very wide, so the two battles between Hu Qian and Dashun City were still mixed for two or three miles, and Zhang Shi couldn't see who was commanding it. He just thought in his heart that the fire was burned a little too late and a good commander was sacrificed.

…………

Li Fei'er had a nightmare and was woken up by Erniu on the bed next door: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"I had nightmares and dreamed of so many dead people."

"Sister-in-law, if the Xixia people don't die, the eldest brother will be in danger."

"Yes, the more people in Xixia die, the better."

However, after Li Fei'er's fuss, the two girls could no longer sleep. Fei'er said, "Little sister, have you fallen asleep?"

"No, I haven't had a good sleep, thinking about my elder brother."

It was getting dark, and before they saw Wang Ju come back, they went to ask Qiu County Magistrate. Qiu County Magistrate told them not to worry, saying that Wang Ju was on the front line. The other things are not clear about now, but they vaguely guessed that the Song army still had to fight and fight fiercely.

The two girls went home.

"Little sister, let's get up."

"Why are you up in the middle of the night?"

"Let's make a lotus lantern to bless your elder brother with peace."

"That's all right." Erniu said, dressed with Li Fei'er and began to cut out a lotus lantern with scissors. Li Fei'er also found paint, painted green on the outside of the lotus lantern, painted goose yellow on the inside, and then found a candle, gently pushed open the door and walked out.

Wang Ju ordered the people to go back.

However, County Magistrate Qiu was still a little worried. When night came, he even closed the city gate and sent yamen runners to patrol.

But there is a water diversion channel in the northeast corner of the city, and outside the water diversion channel is a moat.

The two girls lit the candle, inserted it on the lotus lantern, and then made a wish in the air to bless Wang Ju and the safety of the soldiers of the three armies.

"What are you doing?" Several yamen run over, but when he saw Li Feierer and Erniu, he immediately changed his smile and said, "I have met Miss Li, Miss Wang."

This has nothing to do with Wang Ju's official position, but is respected from their hearts.

A detective looked at it again and said, "It turns out that he is making a wish for Gong Ming. But in the middle of the night, don't catch a cold, go, go."

The two girls burst into laughter, watched the lotus lanterns float away, and walked back. But in the sky, a bright star was rising slowly, and the star was named Qi Mingxing.

…………

There were also two young women talking on the other side.

"A Qiao, my brother has passed away for a long time. My sister-in-law Gai Ming'er found a good family for you and remarry him." Hu Qian's wife Fu Shi said.

"I have a child, and I am afraid that the child will suffer after marrying him," Hu Qian's sister-in-law lowered her head and said, "Just like the magistrate, I suffered a lot when I was a child..."

"A Qiao, don't be afraid, not every family is like the Jiang family."

"I'm not in a hurry to delay this. I want to delay it for a year or two. I don't know when this battle will stop. Maybe my brother will be promoted again."

"I don't know, but my heart is always gripped." Fu said, dialing the charcoal. Now that the Li family is gone, no one dares to cause trouble in the Hu family's small residence. In addition, Hu Qian became a formal military officer of the Song Dynasty and could receive nearly 200 trump card salary subsidies a year. After the Hu family was severely injured, they gradually regained their vitality.

It was cold, so Fu bought a batch of charcoal to keep warm. Adults were fine and they could not let their children suffer.

"I would rather he not be promoted than fight," Fu said gently again, then glanced at the child sleeping in the bed. Not only could she not sleep, but A Qiao could not sleep either. Hu Qian was the hope of everyone in this family.

Fu continued to lower his head and sew the winter clothes, and said, "Aqiao, go to bed, it will be dawn soon."

"I can't sleep either. I'm worried about my elder brother for a long night. I heard that the magistrate left the city and did not come back."

"The Xixia people have not left yet."

That night, there were many families like them. Maybe the families behind still didn’t know the situation. I heard that the front line won, and I felt a little happy. But the families in front were all worried, and I wonder how many people couldn’t sleep for a long night.

Because of Dashun City, because there are countless Western Xia army that cannot be counted on both sides of Dashun City. (To be continued)
