Chapter 475 Drums (Part 2)
"First of all, the contrast between the front and back is too large...≦"
This is a reason, but it is very reluctant. Therefore, Song Ji gave a second reason: "The battle in Dashun City was strange and caused our army to suffer a considerable loss."
Several generals felt toothache.
In this battle, more than 6,000 people were missing, and so many people lost inexplicably, and the other party's casualties, including injuries, were probably less than 200.
If we continue to fight like this, not to mention nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, even 600,000 soldiers and horses will not be enough to deal with it.
Song Ji continued, "But General, you can see one thing. Although Dashun City's playing style is very strange, we can't attack. Can they attack it?"
If the Song army attacked, it would also slip and become a living target for the Xia army.
"So what? They have few troops, just keep Dashun City."
"On the surface, but if they guard Dashun City, can't we even kill? Besides, before the general came to Dashun City, he was a little sure enough to take Dashun City immediately. At most, we were a little troublesome, and we could still go around the back of Dashun City from the small path. But if they couldn't attack, we didn't even need a large number of soldiers to siege them on both sides. In that way, will it have an impact on the entire Qingzhou strategy?"
"Then what you mean is…?"
"This is the personal work of Dou Shunqing in Dashun City and has nothing to do with Li Fugui."
"Dou Shunqing is the deputy general manager of the military and horses of Huanqing Road."
"Dou Shunqing is the general manager of Huanqing Road. I also heard that he served as the governor of Qinzhou for several months. This person is a veteran who can fight, but you should not forget. Li Fugui is a literati. Can he respect military generals? Now Li Fugui has sent Dou Shunqing to Dashun City. So why is Dou Shunqing still in charge of life and death in the rear?"
"So he made a turtle shell?"
"Turtle shell. General, your metaphor is so wonderful."
"I'll feel relieved this way." Liang Yimang breathed a sigh of relief. If every fortress in the future was so weird, then there would be no way to fight.
"But tomorrow we will attack the water village in Dashun City."
"Shuizhai? You're sure!"
Dashun City is called a city, not a fort and a fort because of its large area. The entire Dashun City is divided into two cities in the north and south, and the north city is built against the west mountain, in an irregular shape. This is the city built by Fan Zhongyan at the beginning. It has a circumference of more than seven miles and an area of more than 300 acres. It is not large. Later, after continuous expansion, leaning on a small river in the south, the Nancheng was built. In this way, no matter how many military and civilians there were in the city, there would be no lack of water due to the enemy's siege. During the period of Zhiping, Nancheng was expanded into a city of 200 acres.
Then Cai Ting built a water village to raise the water level. In history, the Jin people merged the water village with the Nancheng, making the area of the Nancheng reach 500 acres. The two cities merged with the area of the area of 900 acres. This area was larger than that of 30% of the county towns in the Song Dynasty.
The south city is still not as big as the north city.
The water village is located in the south of the south city.
But when it was built, Cai Ting leaned on this narrow and flat land and went straight to the Tushan Mountain to the south. He led the thunder river to the edge of Tushan Mountain, then entered the city, and set up a steep gate in the city.
Theoretically, when the entire river surface is frozen and even when the Song army throws out such fierce turbulent oil at any time, the gap between the trench river and the earth mountain is the only place to attack Dashun City.
But this is just a theory.
Because its width is too small, and it also forms a small slope near the Tushan Mountains to the south. As long as the Song army sends a little force, the empty barrier will become a meat grinder.
Another way is to take advantage of the large number of people to force the gap between the Tushan Mountain and the city wall, and then take advantage of the Tushan Mountain to condescend to the high ground and suddenly enter Dashun City.
But is this possible?
Not to mention the big project, just talk about the soil that is also frozen and hard in this season. How many days will it take to dig such a difficult time to fill the gap?
"Use stone cannon."
"Use a stone cannon?"
Later generations may have the understanding of Western Xia weapons as Xia Kingdom sword, whirlwind cannon, Huntuo, Xixia crossbow, and finally cold forged armor.
But this understanding is very wrong.
First, it is to slaughter cattle and sheep and other livestock, take the skin, and after some special treatment, then dry the hair for a few days, the hair will automatically fall off, and then leave a complete skin, and then seal it tightly. When crossing the water, blow air on the hole, and then people carry it across the river. In fact, it plays a primitive lifebuoy. As for small livestock, it is used as a water bag. If it is carrying heavy goods, take dozens of wooden strips and nail them, and put dozens of them under the wooden strips, and a simple boat will be made.
If you know its nature, you will know its true nature.
Water bag, lifebuoy and sheepskin raft!
In fact, it is not just the Western Xia, but also the Tubo region, and it has been preserved in later generations.
The Song Dynasty also had this method, in some special circumstances, Huntuo crossed the river. This method was used to make water bags, or use this method to take off the leather, make "football" and leather products. However, making leather products requires more complicated processing procedures.
But why is this noun very famous in Xixia?
So poor!
I was poor, so I had to use a simple method to cross the river and marching.
The second is the cold-forged armor that is the least famous. In fact, there are also wart armor in Tubo. Since the Qingli period of the Song Dynasty, it also paid attention to cold-forged armor. However, this method of building armor is too expensive, and various reasons, including the greed of officials, the quality of cold-forged armor before the Song Dynasty was the worst among the Three Kingdoms.
The same is true for the Xia Kingdom Sword. The Song Dynasty also had hundreds of steel-making weapons. Of course, it was not as good as the Xia Kingdom Sword.
The Xixia crossbow technique is very excellent. Without the Xixia crossbow technique brought by Li Ding, there could be no divine arm bow. However, there is another reason why the Xia Kingdom crossbow is excellent, that is, Ganzhou yak horns. With this material alone, the Song Dynasty could only sigh. However, with the divine arm bow, the Xixia crossbow is no longer so important.
Finally, this cyclone cannon is actually a small trencher. It is fired on the camel's back. On this small trencher, the Western Xia technology is a little more advanced. However, the large trencher is still not as good as the Song Dynasty.
Especially now, Xixia has the Xia Kingdom Sword, but the Taoxi sword is not much worse than the Xia Kingdom Sword.
As for the catapult, it is even less than a tiger's stud. Is it better to be a lifebuoy? This is not difficult in the Song Dynasty. Cold forged armor. The armor produced in military weapons prisons now are all real cold forged armor, and armor forged with a simple hydraulic press. Its quality is better than the cold forged armor in the Western Xia Dynasty.
Therefore, Liang Yimeng also brought a large trencher this time.
However, the slope of the soil hill in Nanshan is not large, which is conducive to people climbing up. However, the problem is that because the slope is not large, the distance between the slope top and the Dashun City Wall increases. Can the catapults in Xixia pose a danger to the city?
"General, should you wait for the army behind?"
Liang Yi smiled bitterly, and he had to fight to the point of this, so he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity? So he had to wait for the troops behind to arrive.
"Since I have to wait, why not attack? What kind of morale is it?"
Liang Yi was awakened and attacked. Although he could not conquer Dashun City, he would slightly increase his morale. Look, this is the real Song army. Although he luckily made a big advantage, they were like turtles, and they hurried in the city and did not dare to come out. Morale could be raised. Otherwise, if this continues, it will have a heavy impact on morale.
Duolaou stood beside him and listened, thinking to himself that he finally saw the true face of this Han adviser. He said he would send troops immediately, but now he has to wait.
Anyway, it's OK to say that, it's OK to say that.
Sooner or later, Xixia will be in the hands of this treacherous traitor and counselor!
But what can he say? Now that the Liang family is in power, what dare he say!
The few people had to discuss tomorrow's offensive plan and then rest. Just as Liang Yi was sleeping soundly, the drums outside were shaking.
"What happened?" Liang Yimian hurriedly put on his clothes and got up.
Not only him, almost all the soldiers got up from their tents and looked eastward.
The drum sound came from those hateful ice walls, but it was pitch black.
And in a short while, the drums became quiet.
I understand, it turns out that the Song people are playing tricks on themselves as monkeys.
Liang Yimai said angrily: "Rest, rest, go back and rest together."
Do you need to get up together? If the Song army attacks, can't the patrol soldiers see it? Besides, the water in the small river spreads and begins to freeze. The Xia army is not used to walking on it, so can the Song army get used to walking?
Dudola sighed: "This is to weaken our army's morale."
But he didn't think much about it, because the number of Xixia troops this time was too large, so large that it could crush the entire Huanqing Road. It can even be said that the number of troops in the entire Huanqing Road, Fuyan Road and Jingyuan Road was not as large as the number of Xixia troops. Unless Qinfeng Road was added, could Qinfeng Road's army have time to arrive in Qingzhou?
Let's go back and rest together.
Who knew that as soon as I fell asleep, the sound of drums came from outside again.
Liang Yi was so angry that he cursed on the grass shop.
But the soldiers outside came in and reported: "General, something is wrong."
Liang Yimeng had to get up again.
When he came outside, something was wrong. The ice wall was dark just now, but the torches were clear now. Could it be that the Song army really wanted to have a night attack?
This is really hard to say, just like during the day, the Song army attacked the moving army. If the Song army was stimulated by the battle in the evening, they might be brave enough to attack the night.
"General, what should I do?" asked a side-by-side general.
This is really hard to say. If the three armies are guarding each other immediately and the Song army does not come, wouldn’t it be a joke? If the Song army is not guarding each other, if everyone goes to bed, it will be another big joke.
Liang Yimeng's face turned gloomy.
During this disturbance, the three armies got up and down again, but the torches suddenly went out inside the ice wall and were silent again.
"Hateful, hateful!"
Liang Yi was furious and furious, and said, "Stay, rest, can't you hear my order?"
Then let's take a break.
But after half an hour, the drums came again.
This time, Liang Yimeng was not willing to get up. But the soldiers came in and reported: "General, it's not good, it looks real."
"Are the Song people so stupid?" But Liang Yi had to get up. It was the fourth update, and the coldest moment of the day, Liang Yi was shrunk his neck and looked at the opposite side.
It really looks real.
Teams of Song Jun rushed out of the ice wall with torches and walked to the ice surface of the Haogou with difficulty, as if they were about to rush over.
"I really dare to come. Where are you here? I'm ready to fight back." Liang Yimeng shouted.
In Dashun City, it was a turtle shell. After this turtle shell, the Song army had no choice but to seek death.
The three armies began to be alert. At this time, many people from the Song army crossed Haogou and stood on the west side of Haogou. The Xixia people also lined up their troops and prepared to fight.
Suddenly, the group of Song soldiers shouted loudly: "Liang Yi, you defeated general, come home and eat your sister's milk."
After shouting, they laughed and dropped the torch and went back. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
