Chapter 511

"That's not more than 200,000. Every time the Xixia army passes a fort, thousands of troops will be left behind. Now, outside the sixteen forts on the border of Songxia, Xixia, there are Xixia soldiers and horses besieged, ranging from three thousand to seven or eight thousand. Now, there are no more than 100,000 troops gathered under the city of Huanzhou."

"The most troublesome thing about the Western Xia army is that they rely on the large number of cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and they leave as soon as they touch it. The reason why the Great Song Tiger Ben is often able to defend and difficult to pursue." Zhe Keshi's face was full of excitement.

His fingers were slid on the map. "In the past, I had only 50,000 troops to fight on the road of Huanqing. I had more than 50,000 defenses and less attacks. Now, the reinforcements sent by the court are enough to allow us to have a big time with the Xixia people."

"General Zhe, what do you mean is that we are just trying to attack with 15,000 troops?" Wang Yang looked at the guy's excited Zhe Keshi, and couldn't help rolling his eyes speechlessly.

"That's natural. Could it be that Wang Jianjun still wants to block the more than 100,000 Xixia imperial guards under this Hongde Village?" Zhe Keshi's eyes fell on Wang Yang and said with a funny look.

"It's not possible here. The flat ground in Hongdezhai is too wide and it is not the best place to block the attack." Wang Yang thought carefully, walked to the map, and then clicked a location. "Wang thought that this is the best place to block the retreat of the Xixia army."

"...Mr. Wang, you won't be joking with everyone, are you? We are talking about ambushing, but you are talking about blocking..." A general in the hall's eyes bulged up.

Zhe Keshi couldn't help but take a breath. Well, I thought this guy was a very cautious old driver, but now he seems to be a little bit of a clumsy. This guy's expression now is not calm, he looks like a typical war dealer.

Zhe Keshi smashed his mouth and looked at Wang Yang helplessly. "Don't joke, even if the 10,000 troops arrived here, plus the troops in our Hongde Village were less than 15,000. Is it too joking to use 15,000 people to block the 100,000 troops, right?"

"Why are you kidding?" Wang Yang glanced at the band of border generals, as well as the terrified eunuch Ma Shangma, and shrugged his shoulders very casually.

"Mr. Wang remember General Zhe, you said before, "I, the Great Song Hu Ben, is not good at attacking because of the lack of good horses, but I am good at defending. With four or five thousand people, I defended the danger. Even if the tens of thousands of elite troops behind Xiao Liang came to attack, I could support me for three or five months."

Zhe Keshi almost felt a little embarrassed. Unexpectedly, this guy actually caught this point and could only answer with a slightest bullet. "Yes, Zhe did say this. But that's because we have a geographical location like Hongdezhai."

"It was also built for Hongdezhai by our Song Dynasty border army?" Wang Yang smiled and said to Zhe Keshi.

"This is natural, but the construction of Hongde Village took 30,000 soldiers and took nearly three months to reach this scale."

Wang Yang still said stubbornly. "We don't need to build a city wall, we only need to build a wall that is less than one mile long and two meters wide. How much time do you think it will take?"

"If we use 20,000 soldiers, it will take at least five days to build it. But where can we find soldiers now?" A general from Hongde Village stood up and replied.

"There seems to be three or five thousand men in Hongde Village? And our border army can almost raise 20,000 people." Wang Yang continued.

"Isn't it right? In this way, will there be no one in our Hongde Village guarding it? More importantly, it is impossible to block the 100,000 elite troops in Xixia with only more than 10,000 troops."

"How could so many elite Xixia soldiers pass by here? Don't forget that the Xixia army attacked Huanzhou in two ways, one from the Dingbian Army, and only Xiaolianghou, the Xixia army attacked Huanzhou through here."

"If they retreated and left, all the elite soldiers would come to this road. Could it be that the tens of thousands of Xixia soldiers over there were going to give them to me for the Great Song Border Army as a military achievement?" Wang Yang took the map with a clear pen and said.

As soon as this statement was spoken, no one could say it now, and Zhe Keshi couldn't help but lit up his eyes. It seemed that Wang Yang was saying something.

"But if we want to block the Xixia army, we must wait until the 10,000 reinforcements arrive before we can rush to build here. If the Xixia army is alert and turns around immediately, will we become passive?"

Hearing such a question, Wang Yang smiled confidently. "Then it needs bait to make the Xixia army feel that Huanzhou is profitable and hesitant. It only takes one or two days to delay. Wang is confident that he can use the wood and rocks in Maling to build a pass here that can make the Xixia elite rider unable to move forward."

"One or two days, Wang Jianjun, it is not that Mo General is unwilling to believe you, but that one or two days is impossible." A general from Hongde Village jumped out and opposed.

Wang Yang turned his eyes to the thoughtful Zhe Keshi. "That is the past, not the present, General Zhe, don't forget that among the 500 side vans brought by Wang, there are still eighty cars of Yuanyou cement left. I believe you have seen the magical effect of this thing. It is a great speed for General Zhe to build a city or a wall..."

Zhe Keshi couldn't help but have a few more bright lights. Yes, with that thing, if you want to quickly build a wall that blocks the enemy, you can indeed save a lot of effort. That thing only requires water and fine sand. The place to be built is on the bank of the river. It will not be missing at all, and you can use it as you want.

Seeing the change in Zhe Keshi's eyes, Wang Yang knew that Zhe Keshi, the veteran driver, was already a little moved, and then he flattered him again.

"Why is Lord Zhang willing to send the 10,000 elite troops to General Zhe for command? Isn't it because General Zhe has always been a general who knows how to make a decision and then moves?"

"If we could hold this place and trap tens of thousands of elite Xixia troops here, and the army of Master Su and Lord Zhang attacked from the rear, at that time, at least one-third of the elite cavalry of Xixia would be lost here. Such a great achievement of Taotian would be much greater than an ambush from afar and killing one or two thousand Xixia soldiers..."

"Maybe at that time, the generals present will not be far from wanting to win their wives and children..."

"But, wouldn't this be too risky?" Ma Shangma's eunuch looked at Wang Yang, who was almost blowing the blue whale to the sky, and couldn't help but speak.
