Chapter 798(2/2)
At most, you can get more reuse.
Zhang Yu nodded. The terrain was different, but the truth was similar.
It was precisely this bad weather that the enemy was not likely to think that the Song Dynasty would send troops. He looked at Guo Cheng again, Zhe Keshi, Wang En, Li Zhongjie, and Liu Fawu generals said: "This battle is fast."
"Here." The five generals replied in unison.
"Go," Zhang Feng said, saying what he should say long ago and there was no other order.
The five generals left Tongxia Village with more than 10,000 cavalrymen. Not all their battalions were cavalry battalions, but some were cavalry battalions drawn from other camps several months in advance to keep the five generals and officers and soldiers all of them.
But most of the cavalry on Jingyuan Road is almost here.
However, why start from Tongxia Village? Because Tongxia Village is relatively located behind and is not easy to detect when arranged troops and enemies are not easily noticed. If it is placed in Dangqiang Village, so many cavalry gathered together, it will be easy to be seen by the Western Xia scouts and lose the achievements of the surprise attack.
It was really cold innocence. In the howling northwest wind, the flags on the top of Tongxiazhai City seemed to be blown violently.
But the expressions in the eyes of more than 10,000 cavalrymen all shone with excitement.
One is the confidence brought by the Battle of Pingxia City, and the other is the generous reward from the court.
Don’t just talk about money, can you succeed without money?
Or the court had almost no reward after the victory. Let's see if these soldiers were willing to attack Tiandu Mountain in this miserable weather at great risk?
In order to hide, all war horses were wrapped in horse cloth to reduce the sound of horse hooves, and at the same time, horses were chewed in their mouths. But unlike before, all war horses were wrapped in a layer of wool cloth, not used as vests. Although there were iron kites in the Western Xia Dynasty, the Song Dynasty had a heavy armored cavalry and quiet border troops very early, but Wang Ju and Zhang Feng were not interested in this. Speed is the kingly way!
These hairpins are mainly used to keep warm. Once you get to Wuyan Gorge in this kind of weather, think about how cold it will be.
Not only horses, but all the soldiers distributed a pair of wool shirts and pants, that is, cardigans and wool pants, or warmth**.
They were all arranged in advance by Wang Ju and then transported to the Weizhou front line.
Despite these measures, the group entered the canyon. The wind of the gorge was swelling like ghosts and wolves howling. All the soldiers couldn't help but shrink their heads, and even the war horses gasped in uneasy.
Guo Cheng shouted: "It's going to be dark soon, the terrain of the canyon is complicated, keep up one by one, don't lose it."
The people of Xixia couldn't imagine this weather, but it was too bad, and almost turned into ice. It was no exaggeration. Guo Cheng sprayed out a breath of heat. Immediately, a faint fog appeared in front of him, and the violent gorge wind swayed the snow and danced. Even if you couldn't see the things dozens of steps away, you could not see clearly.
It is not very far from Tongxia Village to Dangqiang Village, but it is only this section of the road that everyone arrives until dark.
The leader of the Dangqiang village is Jia Yan. He does not participate in this surprise attack, but it is also very important. After the surprise attack, you must respond sideways. You are ready to rescue at any time just in case. Therefore, Zhang Shi placed this powerful general in Dangqiang village.
Jia Yan patted Liu Fa's shoulder and said, "Boy, I can show off again."
**Naked and jealous.
This is also a kind of confidence... If we were to be in the Battle of Yongle City, let alone jealousy, I am afraid that not many people would be willing to go to Tiandu Mountain.
Liu Fa was happy.
In fact, before the Battle of Pingxia City, many people thought that Liu Fa had lost his luck. He did not look like Zhe Keshi, Guo Jingxiu and other generals, and they always fought no matter whether they were big or small. However, Liu Fa had almost never participated in any battle, but he inexplicably promoted him to become a general, and inexplicably sent him to Pingxia City as a chief general.
However, those who know the truth have to admire Wang Ju's ability to know people. Although this son is not old, he can really fight.
Jia Yan joked for a few words, put the group into the village, and immediately sent soju and ginger soup. Those who could eat wine could eat one or two glasses of soju and those who could not eat wine could drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm their bodies. At the same time, they asked the soldiers to mix cornmeal and chickens, and use it as horse feed for all war horses.
In addition, Jia Yan sent a scout to follow the army and sneak up on his way, so he could know the battle situation behind him and make arrangements.
The delay was not long, and more than 10,000 troops left Dangqiang Village again and entered Wuyanhou Gorge.
The wind and snow were getting heavier, and soldiers with weak constitutions almost felt that their bodies were about to be frozen.
You should know that all these soldiers were carefully selected, and they also wore wool clothes and fur coats on the outside, but some people felt that they couldn't bear it and were so cold...
The night is getting darker and darker.
Although they are all cavalrymen, in this kind of weather and terrain, the speed of this pedestrian is not fast, and the marching speed is barely thirty or forty miles per hour.
However, because the Song Dynasty used Dangqiang Village to guard the Wuyanhou Gorge, it was not too far from Tiandu Mountain, and at the fourth hour, it gradually reached Tiandu Mountain.
In fact, this industry is still very dangerous.
Tiandu Mountain was captured by the Song Dynasty more than once, but during the Battle of Wang Juqingzhou, Cai Ting once, and a fire burned the Tiandu Palace all over.
However, the location of Tiandu Mountain is extremely important, which is directly related to the safety of the passage from Xingqing Prefecture to Hexi Corridor, and is also the holy place of Xixia Buddhism. Therefore, not long after, Xixia built Tiandu Village and Tiandu Palace again.
However, Li Xian came again. After capturing Tiandu Mountain, he plundered a handful of them, and then burned all the palace and the village.
Xixia had to build it again with great difficulty.
Moreover, because the Song Dynasty occupied Pingxia City, Renduolingding had to mobilize the people to increase the Tiandu Village again, and at the same time, many small and medium-sized fortresses were built in the surrounding areas to guard various roads. The Liang family was also worried about the safety of Tiandu Mountain, so they dispatched some reinforcements to station.
At this time, the troops in Tiandu Mountain were close to 50,000 troops, but unlike Pingxia City, it still has dangerous terrain to use.
That is, if this job is not going well, perhaps more than 10,000 cavalry will suffer an unprecedented defeat.
"There is no place to be Hu Tuzhai," said Zhe Keshi.
Since Renduoling Ding strengthened his defense, the Song Dynasty did not send a roar to Youye. However, because of the previous roar, the Song Dynasty was very familiar with the terrain of Tiandu Mountain and Xiaoguan. But before that, Zhe Keshi had served as the main general of previous roars.
"Instruction Meng, there is a relatively sheltered canyon over there. You take your subordinates to take the war horses over, wait for the orders in front of you, and the rest of you will immediately dismount, turn over from the hill, bypass the Hutu Village, and sneak into Tiandu Village." The main general of this line is Guo Cheng, and the deputy general is Zhe Keshi, but because Zhe Keshi is familiar with this area, he issued an order instead of Guo Cheng.
Meng Dan took his subordinates to the canyon not far away.
In fact, although it is relatively sheltered from the wind, it is still very cold, but because Hu Tu Village blocked the road, it has to do so.
The remaining soldiers walked on the snow, climbing up the mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The wind stirred up heavy snow, and there was still ice accumulation on the mountain road. Even though we only crossed this hill, we felt like we were climbing a dangerous peak.
"Take a sip of wine to warm your body, and then throw away your wine bag!" Guo Chengdao.
