Chapter 508 Reversal (Part 2)
Several sentries were chatting listlessly.
Since Yao Lin successfully broke through again yesterday morning, Liang Yimeng issued an order to all the three armies, no matter who is on duty, he will be unable to forgive him if he is relaxed. Especially those on the night whistle.
Therefore, the sentries from various camps of the Xia army did not dare to take a nap at night.
If you can't take a nap, then just chat.
The supplies from Jintang City are now transporting to Baibao City, but Dashun City still brings a large amount of supplies, including food and grass weapons. For a while, Liang Yimeng couldn't take them away. He had to slowly move the soldiers from the rear to the front line.
There are still many people in Dashun City now, especially forage. The proportion of cavalry in Xixia this time is not high, but it also accounts for more than one-third.
The forage consumed by more than 100,000 war horses is an amazing number.
Therefore, the 40,000 troops in Dashun City often transported food, grass and supplies to the front line in the past few days. Fortunately, the front line is Liyuan Fort and Rouyuan Village, both of which are not far away. They go in the morning and come back in the evening. However, Dashun City is stuck in the middle, so they have to walk in two steps. The soldiers behind Dashun City slowly transferred the supplies from the mountain road to the Xia army camp on the east side of Dashun City. Then they transported them from the Xia army from Dongdaying to the front line.
These sentries did not go to the front line, but there were no rumors about the front line from the soldiers of the Dongdaying.
These news are mixed.
What was happy was that the three armies met, but there were many worries, including the defeat at Anjiang Fort and the strange offensive and defensive battles in Rouyuan Village. The offensive and defensive battles in Liyuan Fort also suffered heavy losses.
"The Song army is really tenacious."
This is the sentence that several sentries said the most.
This evaluation has two meanings: one is praise, and the other is that the Song army is resisting stubbornly.
Nothing else. The difference in military strength was too big. As the war entered a white-hot heat, the Song Dynasty exposed more troops to let the people of Xixia know, but even so, according to the information they had, the Huanzhou Road plus strong men had only more than 40,000 people. Of course, these strong men could not be considered mobs. If that were the case, wouldn’t the Xixia be even more mobs? In addition, Chang'an might have helped more than 10,000 officers and soldiers. Jingyuan Road assisted five thousand officers and soldiers.
As for Yanzhou, I finally learned that he had helped more than a thousand people, but Yu Yong, the scattered soldier, maybe Li Fugui had left, but because of Bai Yu's fight, the two big men in Yanzhou were still angry, so he helped this funny force.
In other words, the troops in the two prefectures of Huanzhou will not exceed 60,000, and at least it may only be just over 50,000.
However, Xixia has an army of 300,000.
Although this difference may be enough to complete the battle of winning the more with few, can the Song army fight a battle of winning the more with fewer?
At this moment, almost all the Xixia people forgot about Pan Meiping’s Battle of Southern Han, and the force may have been suspended between twenty times and thirty times!
I also forgot about the Battle of Tanghe and Xuhe. The difference in military strength between Song and Liao was almost one to three, the Song army was one, the Liao Kingdom was three, and the Liao Kingdom was the leader of the Liao Kingdom was Yelu Xiuge.
Or that one is too far away, but the battles in the Battle of Fulin Road, such as the Battle of Rabbit and Maochuan, the Battle of Linzhou City, the Battle of Sansongling, and a series of battles, almost killing half of the 100,000 troops brought by Li Yuanhao.
Moreover, there are not 300,000 people in Xixia now, and more than 20,000 people have been lost. If there were such serious casualties in the Song Dynasty, the strange and weak ones are the most unbearable Song Dynasty, and I don’t know how much shock it caused.
But 300,000 is indeed speechless.
At least on the surface, with this difference in military strength, the Song army will sooner or later beating to death.
"Go down and bake the fire." said a sentry.
Standing on the ice wall, the northwest wind was strong, and this was the coldest time of the day. Several sentries were trembling with cold. It shouldn't matter if they roasted the fire and didn't take a nap.
So several people were preparing to go down the steps, and suddenly one of them looked into the distance in horror and said, "What is that?"
Everyone followed his eyes and saw that the main force had already penetrated into various parts of Qingzhou. At this time, there were only 20,000 Xia soldiers, which was far less than before. There were only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, plus supplies, and it still stretched for more than a mile.
Although it was not far away, the night was as bright as ink and snowflakes were flying, hindering the sight. Everyone could only barely see the other side of the camp.
So the Song army was about to touch the Xia army camp. Standing here, it still looked like a bunch of vague black shadows.
Some sentries rubbed their eyes, suspecting that they were having a lot of fun.
However, a soldier with good eyes finally screamed: "There is an enemy, the enemy will attack."
Then the horn was blown.
But he blew too late, and the Song army had already entered the enemy camp.
Although Jing Sili did not perform well in the Battle of the Security Army last year, she was also considered a tiger general. Not to mention Gao Yongneng and Liu Yan. In terms of combat power, Gao Liu and Liu can definitely rank among the top 30 of the many generals of the Song Dynasty today, and can even rank among the top ten in the Western Xia.
As for Wang Wenliang, let’s take a slut. However, there is another person who is Gui Nianglang, and his combat power is not high, but the overall strength of his subordinates is the strongest, not only are all foreign soldiers, but also cavalry accounts for more than half.
Several tiger generals led more than 10,000 Song troops to the Xia army camp, which was sleeping soundly.
They led by the way, and under their leadership, more than 10,000 Song troops opened one camp after another to kill the enemy.
For a moment, there were screams and screams of killing in the entire Xia army's western camp.
"Strike." Dou Shunqing said.
With the order, the gate of Dashun City Water Village opened.
You have to come out of this city gate to speed. Otherwise, you have to go out of the northern city and go around the maze. Moreover, the Xixia people built this ice wall mainly to prevent the Song army from quickly rushing into the Xia camp with the help of skateboards.
Therefore, there is no ice wall built on the high-slope camp on the south side. Besides, it is not convenient to transport materials.
Therefore, after coming out of the Water Village Gate, you can not only quickly, but also quickly enter the enemy camp.
Lin Guang also led his subordinates to mobilize, but their target was not in Xiying, but on that mountain road.
In fact, without Dou Shunqing's cooperation, the Xia soldiers in the enemy camp in the west also lost their morale. Unexpectedly, on this snowy night, and in the rear, a huge Song army actually arrived. With thousands of Song troops in Dashun City pounced in, the entire Xiying was in chaos, and only a very small number of people were still fighting tenaciously, and more than 90% of the Xia soldiers were just concerned about escaping.
There is still a way to escape.
The safest route is to immediately escape to the mountains on both sides and then escape to Jintang City. But there are several prerequisites: Don’t escape along this plain river. As the battlefield falls, the two cavalry brought by the two units begin to wander and specifically kill the fleeing Xia soldiers. The second prerequisites: Don’t lose your direction because of fear, otherwise you may not be able to escape from the capture of the Song army in the end. There is no 70,000 or 80,000 troops from Liang Yongneng. The third prerequisite: I have to put on my clothes and run away before I escape to Jintang City, and I might die of freezing halfway.
However, there were not many soldiers who chose to escape towards Jintang City. How far was that? Where could they escape to Dongying? Besides, to the east of Dongying is the main army of hundreds of thousands of Xixia.
The most Xia soldiers chose this direction to escape, but they had a tragic ending. Lin Guang was waiting there.
There are also a very small number of people who escape to the direction of White Leopard City. The prospects in that direction are also not optimistic.
But most people escape blindly and want to run wherever they want to run, it would be better to escape.
The most tragic thing is that the leader of the Xiying camp was Chongduojiefu, a nobleman loyal to the Liang family, so Liang Yi was buried in Xiying to guard Dashun City. But he was actually a greedy person who was afraid of death. He was sleeping in a daze and was woken up by his personal soldiers. When he was completely awake, the entire Xiying camp had lost control. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately fled westward. As a result, he was killed by a subordinate of Jing Sili.
However, because he had no time to wear armor, the Song Bing, who killed him, thought that he had only killed an ordinary Xia Bing, and did not care much. He kicked his body away with one foot and continued to fight forward. Even if he died, he died in obscurity.
The Lord General could not see it, and was all fleeing. In the end, even the pitiful brave soldiers lost the confidence to continue to build.
Gao Yongneng saw that the heat was almost done and shouted loudly: "Surrender and don't kill."
Surrender may not be a good way out. Let’s look at the prisoners of war in Rouyuan Village. But what should I do if I don’t surrender? Most of the people continued to try to escape, but the remaining Xia soldiers were all lying on the ground and began to surrender in groups.
The battle on the mountain road is also beginning.
When Dongying saw something happening in the West Camp, he immediately divided his troops to rescue him. However, as soon as he entered the mountain road, a large number of soldiers were shot down by rain of arrows.
No matter how they attacked, the Song army took advantage of the terrain to take precocious shots, taking turns to shoot arrows, and repel them again and again. However, Lin Guang divided a battalion of officers and soldiers and a small number of strong men, and asked them to go to the mountain road to the west and shoot the escaped Xia soldiers back.
The brave soldier who had just spoken to Lin Guang was shooting arrows and said to Lin Guang excitedly: "So it's such a battle. No wonder General Lin said that it was not the battle we thought."
It's good to fight like this, let's do it a few more times.
Lin Guang smiled and said seriously: "Everyone can't take it lightly, just hold on for a while."
It's not dawn yet.
Liu Shaoneng had already brought three thousand soldiers to the bottom of the White Leopard City. The White Leopard City was even more relaxed than the Xia soldiers in the West Camp in Dashun City. After all, in theory, it was already the rear of the Western Xia army. Except for the city gate, there was a group of people guarding, and there was no sight of a patrol soldier on the entire city. Even the group of people were dozing against the bonfire. Although Liang Yimeng gave the order, everyone should be careful to prevent the Song army from attacking at night, but if this order was not brought to Bai Leopard City, it would not be possible to go down. Wouldn't it be a soldier with plants and trees?
Liu Shaoneng made a gesture to make everyone stop, and then asked quietly: "People who think they are flexible stand up, but remember not to show off. If you climb the city wall for a while, you won't be flexible."
Hundreds of people stood up in a flash, and Liu Shaoneng said again: "Let's get up to the city wall immediately, and fifty people follow me to touch the sentry guarding the city gate. The rest of them immediately went to the top of the city and prepared to open the city gate."
"Here."
Liu Shaoneng took out the scratch hook brought by Liu Feng, danced hard in the air for a few times, and then threw it on the chassis. The hundreds of people also threw the scratch hook to the top of the city one by one.
"Try to be as light as possible." After Liu Shaoneng finished speaking, he climbed up the city head along the rope. It was a little cold, the city wall was a little slippery, and there was no sound, so he climbed slowly. In fact, this was also the convenience brought by this snowy night. Otherwise, although Baibao City was slack in the past, there were still patrol sentries.
Although he climbed slowly, he climbed up to the city gate one by one after another. Dozens of people followed Liu Shaoneng to touch the group of Xia soldiers guarding the city gate, while the rest went down to the city gate and touched the city gate.
The Song army outside the city stared at the city gate.
Liu Shaoneng, with his fifty subordinates, tiptoed to the group of people, and raised the butcher knives in his hands. The group found that one of them was still screaming. However, the fifty people had already pounced over, and the sword fell with their hands. They almost encountered no resistance, so they killed the group. Then Liu Shaoneng began to put down the suspension bridge, and the Song army under the city began to open the city gate. The Song army outside the city also began to rush towards the city gate.
But the screams just now also alarmed the people by the city gate. Most of them didn't care. Only one person got up lazily, put on a fur coat, and looked out the window. Then he shouted: "There is an enemy."
However, Liu Shaoneng has led his subordinates to rush into Baibao City.
There are many houses in Baibao City, which has nothing to do with Liu Shao's ability. He quickly took his men to find the enemy's warehouse and rushed over quickly.
White Leopard City is not as Liu Yan said, with very few troops. In addition to the original two thousand soldiers, there are two thousand soldiers. They came to carry supplies. It was too late, so they stayed in the city to rest. Amid the man's shouting, some soldiers in the city were also awakened, and after waking up, many people were unwilling to get up. The weather was too cold! However, some soldiers also got up, including the soldiers guarding the warehouse.
But the Song army came too suddenly, and the Xia army was caught off guard. Before they could resist, they were killed by Liu Shaoneng and his men. Then they rushed into the warehouse and started setting fires everywhere. What's so bad is that the wind was still very strong at this time, and the houses of the Xixia people were mostly stones as walls and thatched as roofs. As soon as the wind blew, many houses also began to catch fire. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better and faster!
