Chapter 518 Death Movement (7)

Zhang Feng did not have Wang Ju's martial arts value, so he could only stand on the top of the city to show support. As for Ma Hu in the Xia Jun camp, Wang Junwan said he could not understand, but Zhang Feng could understand. Although he didn't know Wang Zangbu's letter, he saw Song Ji sending a large number of rafts to the rear when he was commanding on the top of the city during the day.

Of course, Zhang Feng would not foolishly send people to stop them. It would be a good thing for these raccoons to go to the rear. Look, the troops in the rear are empty. Don’t worry, you can attack the city boldly, and sleep boldly at night. So he told the heads of the battalions that the Xia people’s camp...

However, until the attack stopped, the Xixia people were still building tents one after another, so Zhang Yu did not notify Wang Ju, and there was no need to notify Wang Ju. If Wang Ju didn't catch this opportunity, what qualifications would he have to swallow the 300,000 enemy troops?

He looked outside the city.

Wang Ju's mentality is to seek stability, and when the two made plans, Wang Ju talked about the dangers of the last battle of Dashun City more than once. So although it was a night attack tactic, the Song army invested more troops each time.

However, in order to achieve the small gap in military strength in each local war, the two tried every means to die, and they did not know how many brain cells died.

However, once successful, the power will be huge, just like now, because the Song army invested a lot of troops, it became a one-sided momentum in the blink of an eye. "This battle is over," Zhang Qing thought to himself.

The shouts of killing also woke up the people in the city and climbed to the top of the city to watch the battle.

This Zhang Yue did not stop him, but just asked the yamen runners to maintain order.

The people watched the scene outside the city and applauded.

Many ministers in the court said that Wang Ju was cruel. Is Wang Ju cruel? It was cruel, at least cruel than the ministers who were kind to the outside world. They let prisoners of war work and finish their work, and they would also sell prisoners of war to mine owners as mine slaves. Now there is probably another charge, letting prisoners of war stand on the top of the city to be cannon fodder and meat shields...

But is it really cruel? Then let’s see what Xixia did? Once they broke through the villages of the Song Dynasty, they would almost have the policy of burning, killing, rape and looting, and almost all evil. After Yu Zanghuama surrendered to Xixia, Xixia’s tentacles extended to Qinzhou and forced the people to defect to Xixia.

In the border areas of the Song Dynasty, the foreigners in Qinzhou were the most loyal to the Song Dynasty, so they did not agree. If they did not agree, they would kill them. Kill tens of thousands of foreigners and kill the Weiyuan area into a dead and silent place. Otherwise, Wang Shao would have come to open the border fields?

So during the day, Qingzhou City is in a hurry, and everyone is really scared.

The massacre outside the city made everyone excited to see that the gentry found Liu Shenjun and asked to cooperate with the officers and soldiers to fight.

"Liu Zongjun. No," Zhang Qi refused.

“Why?”

"Let's see."

Liu Shenjun looked out: "I can't see it."

"Do you see if my Song formation is scattered?"

When the two armies fight, the most feared thing is the chaos in the formation. Especially in such a night battle of tens of thousands of people. But generally speaking, some troops will inevitably be dispersed. If an army has a relatively neat formation, the chance of an army winning the final victory will increase.

However, for this battle tonight, the Xia army could not disperse the various battalions of the Song army. Therefore, the Song army has always used the battalions as units, galloping around in the enemy camps like a series of misunderstandings. Even a few injured soldiers quickly and orderly retreated to the side. The poor performance was the officers and soldiers of several battalions of Qingzhou. This was helpless. Most of the officers and soldiers of Qingzhou were imprisoned soldiers, or imprisoned soldiers with relatively weak combat power. They were also combined with some strong men and could not cooperate perfectly.

If the people outside the city were allowed to go out again, it would be a mess and interrupt the rhythm of the Song army.

"I was wrong." Liu Shenjun said.

"It's okay, the people are in a good mood. In this way, you tell the people that the battle will end later, but many Xia soldiers escaped and asked them to form a team and go out of the city to arrest them. For each prisoner of war, the government will reward ten cents of money or five pieces of silk. But this distance must not exceed thirty miles to prevent the enemy from coming with rescuers."

"Here."

This battle was heart-wrenching.

But behind this glory, countless money and silk in the country have been consumed, and this cannot be solved. If you want to have a high morale, you must not lose any rewards and pensions. If you want to win a battle, your logistics must be sufficient, including weapons, materials and supplies. In order to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, all the people of Qingzhou will be evacuated to the rear. Should you compensate and rebuild after the war? Therefore, the money and silk that will be spent in the end will be astronomical numbers.

But in addition to money and silk, there are also people who disturb the people. The various materials, supplies, grass and weapons on the front line were sent by countless people in Shaanxi step by step.

With these prisoners of war, the labor problem in the rear can be solved well.

The three thousand prisoners of war sent to Dashun City were transferred to the rear, but they were far from solving the labor problem. Therefore, prisoners of war were very precious...

Just as Liu Shenjun gave the order, Wang Ju also gave the order: "Surrender and not kill."

Surrender may not necessarily lead to a good end, especially like Rouyuanzhai, but what should I do if I don’t surrender at this time?

One after another, Xia army lies on the ground and surrenders.

At this moment, Qu Zhen came over with a man and said, "Is this man the commander of the Xia army or a Han Chinese, named Song Ji."

Song Ji escaped from the camp, and there was nothing he could do. In theory, a Song soldier is enough to completely wipe out the Xia army, but that is impossible. In fact, there are also quite a few Xia soldiers who escaped. Song Ji also escaped.

But the Song Dynasty recognized his head, and Xixia also recognized his head. When he saw Song Ji, the deserters spontaneously gathered with him. Qu Zhen stopped in front and saw this large group of people. He immediately came with his subordinates and then captured Song Ji.

The two are old friends they haven't seen each other.

Wang Ju came to Song Ji and looked at Song Ji. This shameful literati was in his early forties. His face was ashamed and very depressed. However, Wang Ju had no time to deal with him, so he said, "Prepare it in the city first and imprisoned with the prisoners of war."

The soldiers escorted prisoners of war into the city one after another.

Wang Ju looked at the sky and said to Wang Junwan: "Junwan, how about our troops entering Yele Town?"

This was not in the plan, but Wang Ju did not expect that the fight would be so easy. At this time, the Song army had little casualties, and the battle ended quickly, the physical energy was not consumed, and the morale was very strong. And they could use skateboards and cavalry to pounce to Yele Town in an hour. At that time, it was at most about 5:30. It was not dawn. And the weather was still cloudy on this day. Although it was not as dark as last night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, it was a dark night. Then the three armies would attack Yele Town and have a surprise attack. Of course, don't expect it to be as easy as the battle outside Qingzhou City.

However, the Xia army in Yele Town only has 15,000 troops, and I believe Gu Yongping is not a fool. Seeing the battle, he will inevitably gather from the city's generals and fight out from the inside and cooperate with him. Then he will win a great victory in this battle.

But in this way, the entire combat plan will change again.

However, Wang Ju obviously found the wrong candidate. If Wang Jun heard that there was still a fight, he immediately shouted happily: "Okay."

Wang Ju was speechless.

He turned his head and said to Yang Pei: "General Yang, arrest prisoners of war and clean up the battlefield and leave it to you."

"good."

"In addition, you go to the city immediately and ask Judge Zhang Tong for me. I will lead my army to Yele Town. The victory rate may reach 90%. After the war, should we bring the army into Yele Town or retreat to Qingzhou City. Enter Yele Town, closer to the front line, and can also unite with Yanda, Zhongyi, Zhonggu, Miao Su, Zhao Pu, Yao Lin and Qin Bo. You and Gu Yongping's army cooperate and support in the rear to strangle the enemy's right-wing army."

In other words, the strategic focus was on the left wing of the Song army, which was the right wing compared to the enemy, and first took down Renduolingding.

"However, the disadvantage is that it compresses the enemy's activity space and also compresses the enemies together, so that they can support each other. Moreover, Yele Town has a small city and many troops, which is also a headache. So please think about it."

Maybe Yang Pei didn't understand that this force was not only the troops under Wang Ju, but also the 16th Battalion of the Yongxing Army was about to arrive. Yele Town is not small, but once so many troops are stationed, it will undoubtedly be small.

However, Yang Pei did not think about this, but asked in surprise: "Prime Minister Zhang Tong?"

"Why, I underestimated Judge Zhang Tong, half of the plan for this battle was done by him."

This question must be explained clearly in the future. If it weren't for himself, Zhang Qing would exert his power very late. There are two reasons for this. First, the court did not know it, and even Zhang Qing himself did not know it. Second, Zhang Qing used troops similar to Li Ji, but was not able to compare with Li Ji, but his methods of using troops were very similar to him, and even he was similar to himself. He was a growth figure, not a natural general like Huo Qubing and Wang Shao.

However, this type of talent cannot be ignored. Just like Li Ji, he was really not dazzling at first, not as good as Qin Qiongcheng Yaojin, and not as good as Li Shimin. But in the end, as Li Ji grew up, he became the two great war gods of Tang Dynasty who could almost be side by side with Li Jing.

Therefore, Wang Ju hopes that after this battle, the court can reuse Zhang Yu and put it on the border to temper it. Zhang Yu who grew up twenty years ahead of schedule, coupled with his own changes, destroying Xixia will no longer be a dream.

If he could not pull the Song Dynasty out of the Western Xia vortex in time, the Song Dynasty would still be in danger. Wanyan Aguda should have been born and was several years old. This was the real ruthless man. He killed 100,000 Liao troops in one battle of 3,000, and 20,000 Liao troops in the second world. If this person had not died early, Yue Fei would probably be defeated. Compared to him, the battle of Chuzhou where Zhao Kuangyin became famous was like a joke.

But if you don't talk about it, others will think it's their own contribution.

Besides, at my age, what can I do even if the great contribution is lost? Haven’t I made enough contributions? And time is tight, and I have to make decisions and command the battle in Yele Town, and I don’t have the time to think about it carefully.

Yang Pei believed and doubted, and Wang Ju smiled and said, "Don't doubt, Zhang Zhifu is worse than me, but I can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. But today I only killed one Xia man, and Zhao Long snatched all the credits."

This is a cold joke, Zhao Longheran.

Wang Ju continued: "If we talk about military talents and strategies, Zhang Zhifu is far above me."

He said something realistic, but Yang Pei would never believe this, and even Zhang Feng himself did not believe it.

After making a decision, Wang Ju issued an order, and the three armies stepped on the skateboard on the river again.

Zhang Feng looked at it and immediately understood it. He thought to himself that Wang Zi'an's appetite is indeed good. But it is indeed a great opportunity. Although the enemy has a strong military advantage, through continuous mobilization, the Xixia people were cut off a large piece of meat after every local war. Every extra piece of meat was cut off, the Xixia's strength would be reduced by one portion. Then when the decisive battle came, the Xixia's military advantage would be infinitely weakened, and the Song army would increase the confidence of a big victory.

This battle ended quickly, and Yele Town cannot be missed this great opportunity.

More than 10,000 Song troops roared west again.

Yang Pei also divided the officers and soldiers of the battalions under his command, arrested the prisoners of war, cleaned the battlefield, and even took off the tents, supplies and weapons of the Xia army camp, and even the armor and leather robes of the dead. What is all the money?

It’s a pity that Song Ji brought not many cavalry and did not capture many war horses. Moreover, he brought most of the dry food, and did not get a large number of cattle and sheep like in the battle of Dashun City. Fortunately, he got some donkeys and mules that pulled carts. This is also money.

The people have not been released yet, and the battlefield is now full of meat. Only the officers and soldiers have to eat it first. After eating it, the remaining soup and water will be handed over to the people. Yang Pei entered the city and passed on Wang Ju's words to Zhang Ju.

Zhang Feng was thinking, Wang Ju sent troops to Yele Town to the right place. Before the battle came, it would be best to minimize the enemy's strength, not only the strength, but also morale.

However, after the Battle of Yele Town, it is not a small matter whether to retreat to Qingzhou City or to station in Yele Town.

This is related to the direction of the battle. Now there are a large number of Song troops gathered on both arms. Although the left arm has a slightly worse force, as Miao Jue advances into Ansai Village, the gap in the military strength is also narrowing. Moreover, the enemy's right arm itself is not as strong as the enemy's left arm, and the main force is still in Rouyuan Village.

Therefore, Wang Ju's central army was biased towards the left arm, Huai'an Town was the main battlefield of the battle, and Rouyuan Village was the main battlefield.

He thought for a long time and murmured, "It's hard to decide which one."

This decision was not on Wang Ju's army, but on more than a hundred miles away, a place called Mengmen Sancha... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
