Chapter 521 Jiang Qian

When Song Ji left Qingzhou City, he fled to Rouyuan Village with no chance.

I am really afraid. In the two battles that just ended, the Song army killed nearly 10,000 Xia army, nearly 60% of which were his subordinates, and three of them were killed by the Song army in every ten of his subordinates. More than 5,000 corpses lay down outside the entire Qingzhou city. It can be said that the real corpses were everywhere and blood flowed into a river.

So Song Ji was afraid that Wang Ju would suddenly repent, so he had to leave Qingzhou quickly.

He rushed to the outside of Rouyuan Village without stopping, but before he could reach Rouyuan Village, he was stunned. What was that thing floating above Rouyuan Village?

At this time, it was dark, but there was a fire under the thing, and you could see what was under it. A blue thing, because it was raised high, didn't look big, but through comparison, it could be seen that it was actually not small. There were several people in the blue thing, one of whom was holding a flag, not a flag, but dozens of flags, and they poked out from the sky, constantly changing the flag, and then waved it with their hands.

This is the most magical scene in the entire battle.

Now the entire battlefield is not like the battles of Feishui, Guandu, Chibi, Kunyang, and the war zones are not in the same place. It is impossible to be in the same place. The entire Qingzhou terrain is Liangmao and Xiaochuanyuan terrain. Even if there are some flat rivers, they are all narrow river corridors. This terrain forces Xixia to divide hundreds of thousands of troops into several pieces.

But this kind of cutting also divided the Song army into several pieces.≯Some are now surrounded by the Xia army, such as Liyuan Fort, Donggu Fort, Rouyuan Village, and Huaian Town. Some are outside the battlefield, which is actually equivalent to cutting, such as Dashun City and Mengmen Sancha. It is impossible to contact or inconvenient to contact.

But the troops in these places will be important sharp swords in the battle. Therefore, most of the famous generals are in charge of the presidency, Er Yao, Yan Da, Li Sangou, Gao Yongneng, Lin Guang, Dou Shunqing, and Zhou Yongqing. In addition, other places are also affected by large groups of enemy cavalry, and it is inconvenient to contact, such as Whidingburg, Wujiao Town, and Yele Town. If you cannot contact, you will not be able to carry out the battle smoothly.

So before Wang Ju left the capital, he thought that this situation might occur in the future, so he thought of two things, the same one was a telescope.

Another thing is this hot air balloon.

Of course, this kind of hot air balloon cannot play a decisive role like the magic blockbuster "Three Musketeers". However, it is well matched and used in the special environment of Gyeongju.

First of all, the distance between the forts and forts in Gyeongzhou is only a dozen miles short, the longer one is thirty or forty miles, and very few are more than forty miles. But this length refers to the length of the road. There are many Liangmao in Gyeongzhou, which means that there are many mountain roads, and many roads will be bent. After pulling into a straight line, the distance that is more can be shortened by half, and the few can also be reduced by one third.

The naked eye still cannot see each other, and even if you see it, you don’t know it. However, with a telescope and a flag, basically the soldiers sitting in the blue fort can be contacted. Moreover, at this height, the enemy’s every move and number can be seen at a glance.

Think about how many scouts died every day in order to inquire about the enemy's intelligence. And the information from this inquiry is not accurate.

Now, as long as a few brave soldiers are sent to the Hang Lan and slowly rise into the air, the enemy's every move will be under his nose. How much convenience will this bring to the war?

But there is a problem. After the balloons are raised, they can be seen vaguely with each other, but they cannot be connected. Therefore, Wang Ju and Zhang Ju set up a set of complex flags. In order to satisfy the mutual connection, a total of thirty flags were placed. The upper, middle and lower waving meant differently. The upper, middle and lower waving times were waving one to ten times. Each flag had its own wavings and the number of times, and the meaning was different. In this way, it could basically satisfy all simple communications.

Wang Ju raised the balloons from Qingzhou City, and then all the forts began to raise balloons one after another. The balloons were passed by flags and ordered the troops. Li Sangou also reported the current situation in Rouyuan Village through flags and quoted them back.

The Song army was waving various flags strangely above, and the Xixia army below could not understand it.

But I know there is no good thing, but this is a real person, and it’s God!

In ancient times, humans yearned for and feared the sky, so when the sky flew that night, Gao Min's subordinates were stunned.

But that is not called flying, it can only be called gliding. It is actually landing slowly and not rising. Now it is really in the sky. Seeing several Song soldiers waving flags in the sky, the Song army in Rouyuan Village cheered and thundered, and the Xia army outside the village was silent.

It’s not that I’m not brave, but that this battle is so hard that I can’t understand...

Song Ji was also stunned.

Grandma, this is not fighting against humans, but fighting against monsters.

At this time, Song Ji felt a little happy. If I lost to Li Fugui, it would be a killing, but if I lost to this monster, it would be considered a wishful thinking.

Therefore, I felt relaxed and quickly returned to the camp.

Liang Yimao was furious when he saw him coming. Not all the 20,000 soldiers of Song Ji were killed by Wang Ju, and some people escaped. This was inevitable. Just like Sanchuankou, the army was as weak as the army was, Huang Dehe wanted to escape, but he still escaped. Even in the two battles between Shuichuan and Junziguan, if the Song army did not fight to the end and wanted to escape, some people would escape. For example, the Battle of Qigou Pass and the Battle of Dingchuan Village, and the enemy would like it very much, and would kill the Song army to the greatest extent at a very small cost. He was afraid of fighting like Liu Ping and Wang Gui.

But although they escaped, the situation was very miserable. Because the Song army then rushed to Yele Town, the fugitive army was dispersed again. A few people escaped one after another. Until now, there are still deserters who are fleeing to various battalions one after another. Even this escape will last until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. There is no way to go around the mountains. Many Xia soldiers do not know the way and are lost together.

However, although some soldiers escaped, almost no Xia army in the organization escaped.

In theory, it can be said that like Ding Ge, who was under Anjiang Fortress and the Xiying Xia Army, which was formed by Dashun City, was completely wiped out.

However, this kid is very loyal to him and even makes many wonderful plans to consolidate the power of the Liang family. Liang Yi couldn't bear to kill him, so he looked at Song Ji with a cold face.

Song Ji said: "General, the new magistrate of Gyeongju is the security guard Wang Ju."

Liang Yi was buried and said nothing. The news that Wang Ju appeared also reached his ears. In addition, three defeats and the big balloon in the sky made him lose his mind. But he could not be defeated like this just because of Wang Ju.

Song Ji said again: "It's also my fault. Yesterday I received a letter from Wang Zangbu and thought that the Song Dynasty really did not have a large army in the rear, so I was defeated."

As he said that, he kept slapping himself. It was not easy to be a traitor. He had to learn to be a dog, put down all his self-esteem, learn to obey and be a humiliating person. However, the dogs made by Song Ji were still of some value than many dogs. At least Xixia did give him glory and wealth.

He was indeed very clever in doing this, and he had to admit his mistake first. But what was his fault? He shouldn't be careless, but he just built the camp carefully and was still defeated last night. Who would have thought? But when it comes to wrong, wasn't Wang Zangbi even more wrong? His letter not only cheated himself, but also cheated Song Ji and more than 10,000 Xia army soldiers outside Yele Town. On the way, he also met Xia Bing who escaped from Yele Town.

But Wang Zangbu is a favorite general under Renduoling Ding. Will Liang Yimeng dare to kill him now? If you don’t kill Wang Zangbu, you can save yourself in one little life. And you will also give Liang Yimeng a great opportunity to shirk responsibility.

Liang Yimeng really snorted coldly.

There was rescue, Song Ji thought to himself that he was not afraid of Liang Yi being angry. Even if he kicked him a few times, he was afraid that Liang Yi would not speak. That was a sign of killing intention.

He also said: "But when I was detained, I heard a few news. This time, not only were the officers and soldiers from Huanqing Road fighting, but Yanzhou and Weizhou each sent 10,000 troops to support him. At the same time, Wang Ju also brought the 40,000 Poches from Zheng Baiqu, and secretly sent some of the Poches to the front line very early. Now our army is not fighting against 30,000 to 40,000 Song troops, but is fighting against 90,000 Song troops."

"Oh," Liang Yima's face slowed down again. Now the headache is not only Wang Ju arrived in Qingzhou, but also Wang Ju's elusiveness. The most headache is that he doesn't know how many troops the Song Dynasty has deployed. Thousands or ten thousand troops emerge from anywhere, and then launches a night attack. The news spreads. Now the remaining Xia army is suspicious and has a depressed morale. When he sees the balloons rise to the sky, Liang Yima simply orders to stop the attack. There is no way to attack. Even if the Xia soldiers on the earthen mountain shoot arrows, they are soft and have no strength. How to attack?

"Can the message be accurate?"

“Absolutely accurate.”

"That's the Poche Army in Guanzhong, how can it have combat effectiveness?"

"It is the Poche Army in Guanzhong, and we will see many Poche soldiers vomiting on the battlefield at the end, but they probably have Tian Youxin. In addition, the Song Dynasty sent people to train for a long time. Although they lack combat experience, they cooperate properly, have neat formations, and have relatively strong combat power. It seems that we have neglected."

Liang Yi's face was tragic. If this was the case, it would be really negligent. The Song army who could fight for a total of 40,000 yuan would have a completely different nature than the 40,000 yuan without these 40,000 yuan.

"I also heard a news that the reason why the Song army was well-behaved was learned from the salt traders in our Daxia. General Renduo persuaded some of the Murong tribes to join our Daxia. This news was also leaked to the Song Dynasty by these salt merchants. Therefore, the Song Dynasty was well-behaved and took the opportunity to wipe out the Murong tribe heroes who defected to our country."

Well, what Wang Ju said to him turned into something he found out with cleverness and wisdom, and he did not commit sins but made merit.

Unfortunately, the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms had not appeared at this time, otherwise Song Ji would have thought sadly in the end that I was Jiang Gan, who was ugly by Luo Guanzhong.

Liang Yi paved for a few steps. If this happened, Song Ji had committed a serious crime and had made some contributions. At least he understood a lot of things. Although the king and the giant boy were elusive, it was mainly because he was willing and he was not willing. He was prepared and he was not prepared, so he suffered a great loss.

He paused and asked, "How did you escape?"

"General, I have the ability to escape. It was the king of kings who pulled me to persuade me to surrender, saying that if I don't surrender, I will dismember my five horses."

Not to mention, Liang Yi really believed that Zhang Yuan's family, for example, Zhang Yuan became the number one traitor of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty ruler and ministers not only did not punish Zhang Yuan's family, but instead promoted Zhang Yuan's family and rewarded money and silk, in order to persuade Zhang Yuan to come back.

After doing this stupid thing, many literati from the late Song Dynasty defected to Xixia and became traitors.

"Then how did you answer?"

"I said I would kill and cut it off. But it was impossible to let me surrender. The general was as kind as a mountain, and my wife and children were all in Xingqing Prefecture. How could he surrender to the Song Dynasty?"

"It's right." Liang Yi's face finally calmed down. Although this kid suffered a crushing defeat this time, he was indeed loyal to himself and the Liang family, and asked again: "Then why didn't he kill you?"

"I don't know either, but after I said that, the boy was very happy and said, "I have a strong army and horses in the Song Dynasty are now strong, and you Xixia have suffered heavy losses. I should withdraw your troops quickly. I said I can't make the decision on this matter. He said that you General Liang will definitely figure it out and asked me to bring you a letter." Song Ji said as he took out the letter written by Wang Ju.

After Liang Yi buried his letter, he put down his letter with a look of confusion.

In fact, when he reached this point, he was also considering whether to withdraw his troops. The losses are heavy now and can be tolerated. If the 300,000 troops are left here together, if Xixia doesn't do it well, there will be a danger of destruction of the country.

But Wang Ju took the initiative to ask for peace, which made him confused. The Song army now has the upper hand. At least in addition to the troops, everything is stronger than the Xia army in other aspects, including morale, food, armor, command ability of the generals, and terrain.

Song Ji said again: "By the way, I found out another thing. On the way to capture me, two generals were talking about it, saying that the Liao Kingdom dispatched troops from the grassland and pressed towards the mountain. It may be because of this that the Song Dynasty put a huge pressure on it. Although the Song army won several consecutive games, the overall strength was still less than that of our Daxia. If this stalemate continues, once the Liao army appears in Daizhou or Prefecture, the Song Dynasty will be in danger. Therefore, the boy threatens to try to let us withdraw our troops as soon as possible. Once our country retreats, the Liao Kingdom will inevitably retreat back. The crisis of the Song Dynasty was lifted. At the same time, the boy also saved Qingzhou and killed a large number of soldiers in our country, which also means that he made great contributions."

Only this explanation is available.

"What should you do if you say we are the army?"

"I can't figure it out." Song Ji made Wang Ju's killing. If Wang Ju hadn't taken the initiative to ask for peace, he would have taken the lead in bewitching Liang Yima to retreat as soon as possible.

The trauma that Wang Ju gave him was simply a heavy history of disaster. From the security guards to Huachi County last time, and then to Dashun City, this time he arrived in Qingzhou City. Facing Wang Ju, he had almost no confidence. How dare he speak nonsense at this time? If he talks, he will have to take responsibility in the future.

Liang Yimeng had to summon the generals.

Some people suspect it, but most people believe that this scum literati of the Song Dynasty had no open military skills, but he was smart in secret and had a trick of using tricks one by one. Perhaps the stupid soldiers of the Song Dynasty let him trap the news. Besides, if Wang Ju didn't happen because of some bad situations, he wouldn't have let Song Ji go.

There was silence in the big tent.

There are only two choices in front of everyone. One is to withdraw immediately, but it is very miserable to withdraw like this. It is not clear how many soldiers have been lost now, because many deserters are on the road of escape, some will be captured by the Song army, and some can escape back. However, the approximate number can be estimated, about 90,000. These three battles are more than 50,000, and nearly 20,000 soldiers have been lost in the stalemate between Anjiang Fort and the first Dashun City. Also, there are so many tragic attacks and defenses of Rouyuan Village, Xueni Fort, Liyuan Fort and Meili Fort also suffered heavy casualties. Although the offensive and defensive battles of the remaining forts were not fierce, some casualties also occurred.

In this way, Liang Yi can't hand over the wrong person, and these heavy generals can't hand over the wrong person.

Either wait, if the Liao Kingdom really sends troops, it would be a great news. First, it would force the troops of the Song Dynasty in Yanzhou to support the north. Moreover, the war between the two sides would bring great difficulties to the Song Dynasty's military, financial, material and manpower. At that time, the Western Xia could get a lot of benefits at the least and recover losses, and at the worst, it could turn defeat into victory. As for why the Liao Kingdom sent troops, the reason was simple, they also wanted to get benefits. Just like in the Qingli Song and Xia War, the Liao Kingdom suppressed troops in Youzhou, and the Song Dynasty obediently increased the annual quota from 300,000 to 500,000! But later, Liao Xingzong was crazy and suddenly sent troops to Xixia, but he was defeated by Li Yuanhao in Hequ and fled, and the two countries formed some hatred. But can there be eternal hatred and friendship between countries?

I'm afraid this is the reason why the young emperor of Liao Kingdom promised to send troops.

But what if the Liao Kingdom does not send troops, and if this continues day by day, the morale of the three armies will continue to decline, and the food and supplies will become increasingly tense.

Therefore, no one can control the importance of the matter. A general said for a long time: "General, why not go there with a quick horse first, and then urge the rear to allocate a batch of food and grass, and then order the three armies not to move lightly, especially at night, to strengthen vigilance."

This is the only way.

However, after these battles, Wang Ju was given two titles by the Xixia people, one is the name of beauty, the king of night war, and the other is the name of hatred, Night Ghost!

When he was in Huachi County, he launched night battles many times, including the Nine Corps Welcoming Guests. After the war, people who were in troublesome checked and found that there were indeed some legends of Nine Corps Welcoming Guests in ancient history, but they were completely different from Wang Ju, the Nine Corps Welcoming Guests.

So Wang Ju is a night ghost, and when the night comes, Wang Ju is like a ghost.

Liang Yi said, "Let's do it, immediately order to inform the three armies of the truth. Also, when night falls, the three armies must be alert."

There are many bad rumors in the army now, and the morale of the army must be appeased. The reason for the victory of the Song army is not the reason for the victory, but the divine weapons from heaven are sent to form beans...

But no matter how they comforted them, whenever it was dark, most of the Xia soldiers felt panic... And it was dark and the people of Xixia were scared. Will Wang Ju let them go? (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
