Chapter 504
"Duke Cai, Zhou Zhijun has heard news that Qingzhou ordered him to send troops to Huanzhou the day after tomorrow." The scout reported.
"I understand, go back."
"Here."
The scout withdrew, Cai Ting looked at Hebin and said, "He is the manager, there is still a striker under his jurisdiction."
Zhou Yongqing's troops sent by the day after tomorrow also meant that the battle of Qingzhou began to reverse. But Cai Ting and He Bin came to Zhenrong Juncheng in person, not just to respond to Wang Ju, but also to Tiandu Mountain.
Hebin is finally old. As the head coach of the surprise soldier this time, he is a good candidate, but the army still needs a very brave striker to achieve success on this trip. This striker has high requirements and must have certain command and reaction ability, and also have super capable combat. There are generals on Jingyuan Road, but in Cai Ting's mind, these generals are not very qualified.
Hebin thought for a long time and said, "I know there is one person, but this person has too little qualifications..."
"I'm not afraid of having a low qualification, what qualifications does Wang Zi'an have?"
"That's right," He Bin said happily, but he was not envious. If he achieved success in this journey, his contribution would be significant. He would eventually get old, and then this battle might bring a perfect end to his life.
"Who is this person?"
"This person is from Anbao, Deshun Army. Because of his outstanding martial arts, he was moved to an official in the Neifeng period."
There were two types of Neifeng officials in the Song Dynasty. One was the eunuch's official position, also called Neifeng's official position, and the other was the Wusan official, also called the Zuo Shijin, also known as Zhongxunlang, and was a low-level military general. In recent years, the wars in the northwest have been endless, and there were many generals who obtained this position or similar positions, but the Deshun Army was relatively calm. If there was no war, you could not be promoted. Unless there was a special situation, such as Hebin said that martial arts were outstanding.
So as soon as He Bin said that, Cai Ting knew who it was. He had obtained the position of entrusting the official position and reported it to the Xifu for approval.
"This person is good." Cai Ting said.
As the saying goes, heroes come from troubled times, and wars in the northwest are endless. This person will sooner or later lose his pockets. However, because of the great battle, many generals came to the stage one by one, including the general Hebin mentioned.
After the candidate was confirmed, He Bin rubbed his hands excitedly. He used to play against Nong Zhigao with Di Qing, but Nong Zhigao was Nong Zhigao, a small rebel, but he was very unfamiliar with many people in the Southern Song Dynasty and the forbidden soldiers were not adapted to the weather, so it was a bit tricky. But no matter what, how could Nong Zhigao be compared with the Western Xia?
Cai Ting was a little funny and said, "With the general manager, don't be happy too early. The Xixia people have a lot of troops in Qingzhou. It is still difficult for Wang Ju to achieve his goal. He will take the wrong step by step, and take the wrong step by step."
This is also a practical saying, for example, the morning of the tenth day is precisely the last light at dawn.
Wang Ju asked Yao Lin to drag him for a day, but dragging him for a day means that the Xixia people are crazy about the city, causing more casualties from soldiers, and the difficulty of breaking out will undoubtedly increase relatively.
The last moment before dawn.
The Qimingxing in the east has already brightened up, but the weather is not very good this day and it is a bit gloomy.
The northwest wind was also sobbing, blew a cold and cold air.
The sky is about to change.
But looking at the weather, Yao Lin said: "God helps us."
More than a thousand officers and soldiers nodded silently together, but a sense of joy flashed in their eyes.
In fact, they fought very badly these two days. When they came here, they were officers and soldiers of the Fourth Battalion, with more than 1,800 people, and now they have lost nearly 40% of their troops.
Yao Lin got up to the city, and the enemy camp was quiet, and even the sentries were dozing off.
The Xixia people have already taken the attention of the continuous night attacks and night outbreaks. However, Wang Ju and Zhang Yu also expected this when discussing, so they intended to set this breakthrough in the fifth and a half hours.
In other words, it will be dawn in a while, and the enemy should have relaxed, but at this time, the sky is still very dark. That is, to seize this moment and break through immediately. This is the speculation of Zhang and Wang behind.
But Wang Ju also wanted to be biased.
Because in this battle, the Fort Meli was small, but extremely important. As long as the Fort Meli was captured, the three Western Xia armies could successfully join forces, which would pose a greater threat to Qingzhou on the surface. Therefore, the Western Xia never thought from beginning to end that the Song army would voluntarily give up the Fort Meli to break through.
But Yao Lin still followed Wang Ju's advice.
However, it has nothing to do with Wang Juxiang's reasons. The reason why he continued to choose to break through at this time is because the weather is still very cold at this time, especially during this period, he would sleep more fragrantly. Even if he wakes up, he will feel weak in all limbs.
Moreover, every night in the past two days, Xia people took turns to attack until the third day before resting. If the breakthrough is too early, some Xia soldiers are still excited, which is not conducive to breaking out.
Secondly, you must run quickly after breaking through the siege. After running the fifteen miles, otherwise the cavalry will catch up with them and their subordinates will be in danger. Therefore, you have to choose this time period. Just after breaking through, it will be dawn and you can see the road clearly.
So choosing will is very important.
Just like Yelu Xiu Ge, he almost lost his morale in the Song Dynasty, but when he met Li Jilong, he was beaten by Li Jilong again and again so that he almost didn't even recognize his mother. It was still the Song Bing, the armor, and even the Song Bing was the Song Bing who was defeated repeatedly.
Compared with Wei Qingzong, Yao Lin had a more serious crisis, but he was always very calm.
He continued to squint his eyes and looked at the Xixia camp. The scary troops were 20,000 Renduoling Ding's subordinates to the east, and 15,000 Liang Yi's subordinates to the west.
However, because I didn't expect that the Song army would abandon the city and break through, there was a little gap in the Xia army camp in the west. Although it was a little far from the road from Fort Meli to East Valley Fort, it would not take long to run.
"Wait a minute, we will break through that gap." Yao Lin pointed in that direction and said to several commanders.
"But remember, no matter what, the enemy cannot disperse the formation, otherwise they will fall into the enemy's siege."
Once you are trapped in a siege and there are so many enemies, you will never be able to escape. This is a simple truth, and there is no need to explain it.
"Here."
Several people got off the city, and the war horses chewed, and then helped the wounded soldiers onto the war horses. One of the slightly wounded soldiers brought a serious wounded soldier, and the slightly wounded soldiers controlled the horses. The seriously wounded soldiers carried the slightly wounded soldiers. When they came, there was only one battalion of cavalry. But the horses were enough.
The morning breeze is tighter and the cold is even more compelling.
Yao Lin waved his hand silently and the city gate opened.
More than a thousand Song soldiers quickly rushed out and rushed towards the enemy camp. The Xia people were indeed not prepared. When the sentry shouted, Yao Lin jumped into the front of them and had already rushed to them. He raised his sword and cut several Xia soldiers to the ground.
Song Bing then quickly rushed into the gate and broke into the enemy camp without any entanglement. He immediately rushed to the gap with Yao Lin.
"Enemy attacks, enemy attacks." Xia people shouted wildly.
But the Song army passed through this gap like a whirlwind and ran towards the avenue.
"Run." Yao Lin shouted.
Hundreds of Song soldiers ran in great strides, and the rest were wounded soldiers riding on horses. Although one horse carried two wounded soldiers, they finally ran faster than the infantry. Yao Lin also deliberately asked them to retreat in front, after all, these people had lost their combat effectiveness.
The horses in front are galloping, and the people behind are chasing.
It is still very cold in the morning now. With the changes in the weather, the temperature is even lower. Therefore, the ground is frost. Although everyone is wearing anti-slip shoes, soldiers still slip to the ground from time to time. However, the front slips, and the Song Bing on the left and right back immediately pulls it up.
This was Yao Lin's repeated instructions in advance.
The skylight finally brightened, the horse in front was faster, and there was no sign of it, but there were sounds of horse hooves coming from behind.
Yao Lin drove the horse to the side of the road, strangled the horse, and kept shouting to Song Bing behind him: "Don't be afraid, you'll arrive at Donggu Village soon. General Qin has sent someone to respond in advance."
And he set an example and rode the horse hall at the end. This calmed the three armies' hearts hanging up and down and continued to run forward with a steady trot.
The figure of Dongguzhai had already appeared in front of him, but the enemy's cavalry also chased him behind him.
At this moment, countless arrows were shot out from the woods on both sides.
"There is a blessing." The Xixia people shouted.
What Liang Yi neglected was the change in morale.
From Dashun City to Anjiang Fort and then to Rouyuan Village, the morale of the Xia army, Liang Yimeng and Liang Yongneng, has dropped seriously.
At this time, some Xia soldiers continued to chase forward, but some Xia soldiers immediately stopped their horses, so the pursuits caused serious chaos.
Yao Lin turned his head and saw this situation, and shouted: "Stop, stop."
More than 800 Song Bings stopped together, and Yao Lin said again: "Let's go back and shoot."
Yao Lin didn't come to Qingzhou for a long time, but he also showed prestige in these battles. Although the number of Western Xia troops was huge, hundreds of Song troops followed the orders, turned around and took a bow and arrow, ready to shoot.
As a result, the pursuers behind became even more weak, and one of them shouted: "If you have a retreat, retreat."
As he said that, he turned his head and ran away. As soon as he fled, the other chasing Xia cavalry also fled backwards.
Qin Bo then laughed and flashed out of the forest, then said, "Get away now."
Don't take it seriously.
The group then retreated to Dongguzhai safely.
"The Song army withdrew?" Renda Lingding was a little unbelievable when he received the news. However, he aroused greater suspicion in his heart.
So far, Xixia has taken over three fortresses of the Song Dynasty and Anjiang Fortress. There is a reason for the Song Dynasty to take over the army of Ru Dingge. It is not enough to rely on that surprise soldier alone. The Song army of Anjiang Fortress must be used. But in that case, Liang Yi will definitely take the opportunity to attack Anjiang Fortress, so the Song people burned the city and exploded the mountains, and then threw a piece of broken walls to Xixia.
Taking down the snow mud castle was a planned arrangement by the Song Dynasty, who deliberately used this to confuse itself, such as letting all the Murong people in the rear send out their rebels and take the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop. It can be imagined that if Xixia could not take over the Huanqing Road after the war, it would be easier for the Song Dynasty to govern Huanzhou in the future.
However, why did the Song Dynasty voluntarily give up the Meli Fort?
He felt that there must be something strange in the middle.
However, Qingzhou City only opens the city gate for an hour and a half every morning to provide the residents of the city to go out to chop firewood, so the spies he sent must not provide information until tomorrow. Without accurate information, he could not judge the intentions of the Song army.
But he couldn't help thinking. Fort Meili was opened and the three armies met. Liang Yimian immediately ordered to divide his troops to attack Wujiao Town, Yele Town, Xigu Village and Donggu Village, and let Renduolingding watch the troops of Qingzhou City to see if he could be besieged Qingzhou City.
There was no problem with this order. As the road was unblocked, Liang Yimang distributed tens of thousands of troops from Fort Meli to Huai'an Town, which caused the troops in Renduolingding to surge. Even if Yanda's troops were combined into one, the gap between the forces of the Xia army was too great, so he still did not dare to go out of the city to fight.
Therefore, I could only watch the huge Xia army, rushing through Huaian Town and rushing to the rear. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
