Chapter 472 Labyrinth (Part 2)
The Xixia marching forward was mainly to open the way and clear some "obstacles", which also shows the mentality of the soldiers of the Song and Xia countries. Since the battle between Cai Tingwang Jishuncheng, the combat effectiveness of the two ** teams has gradually shifted.
But this army was not very far from the central army, and the wind was calm along the way, so we came to Dashun City smoothly. Therefore, the more than 10,000 troops marching forward did not expect that the Song army would leave the city to attack.
Dashun City seems to have a lot of troops, but its own troops are not bad. And the mighty central army is coming soon. Will the Song army dare to go out of the city to fight?
So the former marching commander Du Lae was looking at those strange walls.
Didn't appear yesterday, and it became a wall overnight?
The wall is not high, only more than one meter, and the thickness is just that, only two feet.
It is precisely because of the speed that determines the thickness, and the thickness and height determines the height. But La E has not yet thought of this principle.
However, these walls are too large to cover all the front of Dashun City.
More than sixty doors were exposed in front of the wall.
"This will be very troublesome. I don't know if it can knock them down by hitting the wood." La E thought to himself.
Therefore, La Eu stared at the huge wall carefully. The wall was still brown soil, not the kind of clay with good adhesion, but in addition to the soil, there were also a large number of ice crystals with crystal clear luster.
"This is really a wonderful idea." La Eu finally saw the mystery of becoming a wall overnight.
That is to use ordinary soil and water, and then put it in the plate. The temperature is still very low now. As long as you freeze overnight, you will remove the plate the next day. A solid and smooth wall will appear.
Of course. It is not common. At most, the rivers will melt in another month, and the smooth walls will collapse without hitting wood.
But can the Xixia army delay for a month?
In fact, this method was not advocated by Wang Jushou.
In the winter of the second year of Xianping, the Khitan invaded the south. At that time, Yang Liulang was in Suicheng, and the Khitan attacked very quickly. Many city walls were shaking, so Yang Liulang summoned all the men and soldiers in the city to draw well water, and then used well water.
It was poured on the city wall. Because the weather was cold at that time and the water had not yet slid down the city wall, it became frozen. The Liao people could not climb and were besieged for several days and were forced to retreat. Yang Liulang was also promoted to the position of the governor of Baozhou. He also made great achievements when Xiao Yanyan went south.
The properties of the two are the same. Only because the forms are different, the methods are slightly different. This kind of wall must have a few hours of freezing time, and the plate needs to be shaped and fixed at the beginning.
As for what kind of mud it is, is it important?
Even if there is a good sealing plate, you don’t need mud, but you can use all water.
This wall is a big problem that the Xixia people were about to face. Zhi'e had to continue looking at the twisting passages inside. The walls were important, and these passages were even more important, as if he had smelled a faint murderous intent.
Seeing this, he said, "Prepare the tower."
You have to climb the wooden tower to see its full appearance.
At this moment, the gate of Dashun City opened, and teams of Song Dynasty officers and soldiers rushed out from inside. First, there were infantry and then cavalry.
Lae shouted, "Get together immediately and prepare for defense."
Dou Shunqing also stood on the top of the city and watched, frowned slightly.
He followed Wang Ju's advice and made a large maze with an ice wall under Dashun City. This could protect the safety of Dashun City very well.
In fact, Wang Ju also has his intentions. First of all, Dashun City must not be lost. Once it is lost, the main army of the Western Xia can go straight into the sky. In addition, it can consume some of the enemies very well. Although Wang Ju said that being able to defend the forts and forts is a great achievement in the capital, Wang Ju did not want to just protect the forts and forts.
But at the beginning, a large battle cannot break out. The enemy has a large army, a large momentum, and a strong morale. If the battle is at this time, it may be that it will lose so much that it will not even wear pants.
Therefore, the main task at the beginning was to arrange troops and consume the enemy's food and morale.
Drag as the main one, and beat as the auxiliary one.
Then the first step of this drag is the main battlefield, and also an important main battlefield, is in Dashun City.
Therefore, some special arrangements were made.
However, it is precisely because of this maze that although the Song army has a dedicated person to lead it, it will not lose its direction here, but it will drag down its speed.
Dou Shunqing made a judgment on the city, one was to waste it, wait for the enemy to relax, and then rush out, and the other was to continue rushing. However, the enemy gradually took shape, and the Song army was still drilling in the maze.
After thinking about it, he called out a few commanders, whispered and said, "Beat the trumpet."
Lin Guang and his men rushed out.
He also felt something was wrong, because the enemy had already formed roughly. However, when he heard the sound of drums on the top of the city, he still shouted in a low voice: "Run."
Thousands of Song troops rushed over Shuihao, and Zhie suddenly shouted: "Shield, shield!"
He saw the Divine Arm Bow, but the Song army also rushed over.
After two hundred steps, as Lin Guang waved his flag, Song Jun stopped sprinting, but did not stop, but just changed from sprinting to small steps forward.
There were only a small number of shields, which had not been placed in front. In front were the two battalions of god-arm archers, who began to step on the bow and shoot arrows.
Dou Shunqing made a gesture, and he also saw the Xixia people being killed and killed under the shooting of the archers of the two battalions. However, under the command of the main general, some shield players began to line up.
There are three reasons for this: one is that I have been delayed in the maze. The second is that the commander of the Xixia general can be considered as good as the command. The third is morale.
Overall, Xixia is not weak now, after all, there are too many people. This is just as Wang Ju said.
With more than 10,000 Poches joining the front battalions, more soldiers have known that Wang Ju may have come to Qingzhou, but in order to keep it a secret, even these ordinary soldiers of the Poche Army did not know what official position Wang Juhui held. Everyone even saw Wang Ju return to Ningzhou, thinking that Wang Ju might serve as the governor or magistrate of Ningzhou. As for Li Fugui, how many soldiers believe that Li Fugui can win every battle?
In addition, there are too many enemies, so the morale is not too strong.
Therefore, when these archers are nervous when shooting, they will be inaccurate in aiming, or they will be released if they are not satisfied with the bow.
If you can aim at each one, you will have great lethality. After several waves of shooting, the enemy's aura will immediately become frustrated. Ordinary crossbowmen rush up with other troops and sprint with cavalry. The enemy will panic and let the remaining troops in the city rush out, and a great victory will occur.
But now it seems unlikely.
But I also beat him, so I had to take remedial measures.
At this time, he thought of Yan Da again. How could Yan Da be able to fight in and out of the 30,000 Xixia army with just five hundred cavalry? It was like entering a no-man?
So he thought of Wang Ju's brigade general ranking again.
This ranking is not only a matter of sequence but also a question of how many troops it is. It represents Wang Ju's recognition of the abilities of the generals. It may even have an impact when sharing the credit after the war.
Therefore, some people are a little dissatisfied with this ranking. Why are Liu Changzuo and Wang Junwan in front, and even the yellow-haired boy Zhong Yi in front.
Did Wang Ju really make the wrong arrangement?
Lin Guang was a little anxious, and he commanded the flag again, and the three armies rushed forward.
After all, the Divine Arm Bow is not fully equipped, and most soldiers are still mainly from previous crossbows, but the large number of crossbows brought by Wang Ju are more qualified than before, and there are few inferior products. However, their range is limited.
Since the two camps of god-arm archers cannot kill the enemy, they have to let ordinary crossbowmen push them.
But that also means a stalemate and a large number of casualties will occur under your own hands.
However, this was not fatal. After some initial panic, the Xixia people gradually pushed the shield hand to the front, and the cavalry in the rear were also gathering.
I am not afraid of this, but I am afraid that tens of thousands of enemy troops will arrive later.
It seems that the Xixia people had an intention, just pressing with their shields, and did not want to make some sacrifices to rush over, hand over the short blades, and decide the outcome.
Lin Guang also thought of Yan Da's storm.
In fact, that storm was far less valuable than Yan Da later led thousands of subordinates to withdraw from Luowu City to Suide Army City. It was trapped in the vast tens of thousands of enemy troops and carried out a retreat of nearly a hundred miles. Think about how Sanchuankou and Haoshuichuan failed. That's it, Yan Da brought less than half of his subordinates back to Suide Army City safely. This difficulty is not too high.
However, Lin Guang gave up after thinking about it, so he was not sure.
Lin Guang had a headache, and Lae now had even more headaches because thousands of Song troops rushed out of the city of Dashun, and he saw nearly a thousand people holding the sharp new crossbow.
The Song Dynasty had insufficient armor equipment, and the Western Xia people had even insufficient armor equipment, including shields.
It seemed that the Song generals in the city also realized this problem in their army, and nearly a thousand Song soldiers holding the arch of the divine arm were divided into two groups: left and right.
La Eu was hesitant. Seeing that the Song Dynasty soldiers in the city were drilling into the ice walls again, he finally made a cruel statement and said, "Retreat."
Although the central army will arrive soon, the Song army in Dashun City also has a lot of troops. If it is defeated and the central army is dispersed, the Song army may be able to complete a successful counterattack. Can Xixia, the whole country's efforts to attack Qingzhou this time, allow failure?
So Dora made a safe decision.
"Why did you retreat?" Lin Guang was a little confused. At this time, he heard the order issued by the city wall with a horn, and pursued it for a moment, and immediately cleaned the battlefield and retreated.
Then follow the orders.
So the first battle in Dashun City ended rapidly. Although the Xixia people suffered casualties, there were not many, less than 200 people. The losses were not large, and only a little food, supplies and supplies were lost. The casualties of the Song Dynasty were even smaller, with only dozens of people.
Dou Shunqing, Gao Min and Lin Guang both had a hint of caution in their eyes. There were not many casualties in this battle, but many problems could be seen through this battle. If we underestimate the people of Xixia, perhaps this huge battle will cause great trouble.
But on the other side, Dora is more cautious than Dou Lingao and the other two.
He retreated, and although he was not defeated, Liang Yimeng was not happy. Duolae knew that Liang Yimeng must be unhappy, but he said this with all his loyalty and duty, and said: "It seems that the powerful crossbows of the Song Dynasty have begun to be equipped with large crossbows. General, you must be careful of it."
"Then General Du Duo, has the Song army been fully equipped?" Song Ji asked from the side.
"No, only a few people are equipped."
"Do you know why?"
"have no idea."
"It has strong requirements for arm strength and is expensive. And when it is close, is it a good divine arm bow or an ordinary civilian bow? Is there any difference?"
Song Ji was half right. Although it was transformed, not all soldiers can pull up the current Divine Arm Bow. And compared with a real bow, it must be full with feet, so the speed is slightly slower. It is very picky about the materials, and the cost is expensive, which is destined to never replace all the bows and arrows of the Song army.
Therefore, it is also wrong for some people in later generations to use the Divine Arm Bow to despise the European Longbow. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. At least the Divine Arm Bow can only become a major weapon on the battlefield, but it cannot truly determine the victory or defeat of the entire battlefield.
However, in this battle, the Xixia people did not only face the Divine Arm Bow.
Of course, no one can guess the final result now. After all, the number of Xixia troops was too large, so that about a hundred people died, just like a hundred ants died.
It’s hard to say anything else. If you continue, it’s just a cunning decision for your own retreat. He said, “General, you should also pay attention to that wall.” (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better and faster!
