Chapter 337: Small Battle (Part 2)

I wish all book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a harmonious family.

============

You can't delay any more.

Zheng Lang's brain was spinning rapidly.

The enemy is just this army that wants to get a bargain, so they won this battle. The enemy still has 30,000 to 40,000 troops, and no matter how they fight in this battle, they will lose.

Di Qing and Yang Wenguang judged through intelligence and the other party's reaction, and the other party's possibility of being alone. They rely on historical knowledge to judge that the other party's possibility of being alone.

Thinking of this, Zheng Lang immediately ordered: "Send the infantry divided by Semen Village and Anyuan Village to enter the Security Army, and the cavalry rushed to Qiaozi Valley. Remember to send scouts all the way. If you see most enemy enemies, retreat to the Security Army immediately. If the enemy cuts off the retreat route, retreat to Anyuan Village and prepare to respond to the Security Army."

After thinking about it, he said: "The cavalry asked Shao Yuanjie to lead the team himself, and then ordered the security army to prepare for defense, open a warehouse, take out money and silk weapons, and give them to the young people who actively participate in the defense, and all the people are armed in case of an accident."

In fact, this order is ready to discard Anyuan and Saimen Village at the worst time and protect the security army.

But the strength is still not enough, so let the people participate.

Although the combat effectiveness is not good, with the obstacles of the city wall, one person will be more safe.

If the security guards are not lost, there will be no crisis in Ganquan, Qingzhou.

A helpless move.

The most dangerous thing is not the infantry. Even if the enemy has a rear army, it will only have 30,000 to 40,000 troops at most. With the current virtues of the Xixia army, they dare not divide the troops at all, so they are still on the middle line. So the most dangerous thing is the cavalry going to Qiaozi Pass.

Zheng Lang transferred out Shao Yuanjie, the most capable person on the Western Front, and deliberately instructed him to send a scout to check it out.

Without expecting the army in Huanzhou direction, Zheng Lang has no right to mobilize Huanqing's army. There is no time to do so.

He also said: "I will order Yanzhou City and Yongping Village to be led by Shi Ji to Yanzhou City. If a large army attacks, I will take over the command of Yanzhou army's defense. Unless I die in the battlefield, Xianggong Fan will not participate in any military operations or military mobilization. Yanzhou City will mobilize Deputy General Wang Xin to lead a part of the cavalry and the cavalry of Yongping Village to Qiaozi Pass. I will order Fuzhou to prepare for defense, and both cities will open warehouses to release grain and weapons. When the enemy arrives, he will pay money and silk to mobilize the people to participate in the preparations for the imperial city."

He still defended Yanzhou, and even Ganquan City voluntarily gave up.

The troops were too few and there were even fewer cavalry. However, due to speed, the limited troops could not be tied together, and their combat effectiveness was even worse, so they had to defend several important cities.

The two generals were mobilized, and Zheng Lang used the ability of the golden finger to fight. Wang Xin was actually better at fighting than Liu Ping. Shi Ji was good at defending and was not good at attacking, so the two sides made a switch.

Zheng Lang attached more importance to the warrant matter. Before Liu Ping fought, he asked Yuan Hao to scatter 2,500 soldiers inexplicably, which not only reduced the number of his soldiers, but also reduced morale. Therefore, Zheng Lang not only ordered the warrant to have his own military talismans and seals, but also ordered.

If there is a lack of soldiers from all cities and villages, they must refuse to execute.

Even though Fan Yong had robbed Fan Yong of military power nakedly, Fan Yong would not be angry. What's the use of having such military power at this time? It's even hotter than the newly released potato!

He also said: "Di Qing, you are also mentally prepared. If most of the enemy troops come from behind, they will lead the cavalry to kill the enemy troops, cover the infantry to cross the river, and then slowly retreat in the rear."

There are really 30,000 to 40,000 enemies. Even if you want to move a reinforcement around, you can't bring it. Zheng Lang will not be foolish to die here. Zheng Lang is not afraid of death, and there are still thousands of soldiers' lives.

The last command was whispered.

The soldiers cannot know, otherwise the soldiers will not have the courage to burn their boats.

"Here." Di Qing replied loudly.

In a short time, Zheng Lang gave several orders, including the master and the secondary, the attack and the defense. Di Qing once again admired him very much. At least this master was not like other civil officials, and he didn't understand anything.

Di Qing turned around and quickly gave instructions to several soldiers, each holding Zheng Lang's order and retreating from the rear, and sending orders from both east and west.

Then Yang Wenguang ordered some soldiers to push the baggage cart to the front and connect it with ropes.

This is a small piece of defense.

Zheng Lang suddenly thought of Liu Yu's moon formation behind him.

With his knowledge, he must make comparisons.

I suddenly understood why the Queyue Formation has only been used once in history.

One of Liu Yu had a powerful scout in his hand, who could know in advance the time of the arrival of the Wei soldiers, and this time allowed him to make full preparations. It was difficult for Song soldiers to have it. Even if there were scouts, it was not as smart as Liu Yu's scouts, unless the later Yuan and Meng army.

There is a river behind it, and there are ships on the river, so it is still full of control of our own army, otherwise it will become very dangerous to attack water and land.

Third, the Wei Bing just came out. He didn't know how powerful it was, and he still wanted to launch an attack like before. After a big defeat, he could no longer use it. Seeing this formation, I ignore you. Could it be that you are here for ten days and ten nights?

After thinking about it for a while, seeing that the enemy was still not moving, Zheng Lang finally showed a sense of joy on his face. This further proved that the enemy had no rear army and lacked confidence, otherwise he would have stopped the horse and rushed over with a few hundred steps in front of him.

Ye Li Wangrong was also happy. The Song army was defending, and they were not confident enough.

But this time his scout came back very late.

It was easier to start asking the people. Until now, many people fled to the deep mountains and forests again. After searching for a long time, they brought back three local Qiang people.

Yeli Wangrong didn't know that this gave the Song army more time, but he couldn't delay it anymore. After asking, the same answer was still there, so he launched an attack.

Instead of attacking from the front of the chariot formation, he led his army to the west side.

Thousands of troops rushed over with a triangular cone.

According to the arrangement of the very old man, there were archers on the periphery of the Song army at this time. When they rushed forward, many soldiers would be shot to death by bows and arrows.

When Yang Wenguang waved the order flag, the infantry started from the direction pointed by the Xixia arrow and retreated to both sides, forming a huge inverted V shape for a while.

It is not a rural soldier, but the combat effectiveness of the rural soldier is strong, but there are not as many regular Song soldiers as they train. If it is a rural soldier here, it will never be able to do it.

The inverted V shape gradually took shape, and the arrow rushed in, but it would not pierce into the blank space. The Xixia soldiers were not that stupid. They rode their horses to the rear of the inverted V, shooting the enemy first, shooting the horse, capturing the thief first, and pointing to Zheng Lang.

Yang Wenguang shouted: "Let me go!"

Large groups of arrows flew out, and dozens of Xixia soldiers immediately fell down from their horses.

But the Western Xia army also rushed to the archers. Yang Wenguang waved the flag again. The archers retreated, and the spearmen stepped forward and stabbed the horse's belly with guns.

The enemy did not pounce on the chariot formation, but the chariot formation played a part of the role. Since the front was blocked by the chariot formation, Ye Li Wangrong could only attack from the side, and the side was narrow and could not fully exert the advantages of the cavalry.

Zheng Lang looked at the battlefield without blinking.

The two armies fought together.

Seeing more Xixia troops pounced into the army, Di Qing shouted: "Kill."

He bravely came out from behind with more than 300 cavalry. These more than 300 cavalry were not subordinate to Yang Wenguang. Among them, more than 200 cavalry were carefully selected by Di Qing from the Security Army, and nearly 100 cavalry were selected from the fugitive army and the capital army. They were the strongest soldiers among the nearly 100 cavalry.

Di Qing took the lead and rushed into the enemy army like a wolf or a tiger, cutting off the Xixia army. Di Qing was in front and took several Xixia soldiers with a long spear. Zheng Lang heard the Xixia people shouting that it was not long since they came to the northwest, and most of the Dangxiang words could not be understood, but one word was understood, the devil general.

During the battle between the Security Army, Di Qing had become famous. When he saw the bronze masked general coming out, some Xixia soldiers were already heartbroken.

But what surprised Zheng Lang was that Yang Wenguang's wife Mu Rong was holding a nine-ring sword in her hand, not a Tang Dynasty sword. The craftsmanship of this thing had long been lost. Even if there were, most of the Song army could not move. But this sword was very big, like a large plate door.

He seemed to turn his head and look at Zheng Lang. Zheng Lang didn't know her thoughts. Mu Rong was saying in his heart, "Didn't he mean a man?" Today I will let you see how powerful my mother is.

With one knife, a Xixia soldier was cut off from his neck, and a human head flew far away. The war horse rushed forward several steps before blood was sprayed out from his broken neck.

Zheng Lang almost vomited.

He shook his body a few times and forced himself to hold it back.

Di Qing continued to kill, and he didn't know how many enemies he took, and finally drilled through the Western Xia army.

Yeli Wangrong was watching the battle situation outside and became a little anxious. He used his horn to command the cavalry that had been trapped in the Song Dynasty's infantry to kill back, attacking Di Qing's cavalry army on both sides.

When Di Qing saw the enemy killing back, he turned his horse's head again and killed him again. With a blocking in the middle, the cavalry that rushed into the Song army's formation fell into the Song army's ocean again. Yang Wenguang also gave an order, and some archers responded from both sides.

The Western Xia army was completely broken, their nature was revealed, people's hearts were shaken, and some soldiers wanted to retreat. Almost at the same time, Yang Wenguang and Di Qing shouted: "Crush!"

He took the retreating Xixia army and rushed out towards the main force of Xixia.

"Retreat!" Yeli Wangrong shouted when he saw something was wrong.

Di Yang and the others only chased after six or seven hundred steps and came back again. They didn't chase each other farther and continued to stalemate. The longer the time, the more beneficial it was to the Song army.

After the battle, the two sides lost hundreds of soldiers. But what made Yeli Wangrong most depressed was that he lost more than a hundred war horses. The Song army did not know how to ride horses, but this was in the northwest. Although there were not many horses, it was common. Some soldiers usually used their comrades to ride the war horses, and they also had better riding skills. However, due to the lack of war horses, they had to continue to be infantry.

Yang Wenguang took the lead and selected more than 100 soldiers to take over the horses. This not only made up for the loss of the cavalry and infantry battle, but also slightly increased the number of cavalry. He did not expect that the enemy would come and the weapons were insufficient. Although most of the weapons of the Xixia people were not as good as those of the Song army, the production was quite well-made, especially the Xixia sword and the Japanese sword, which were always regarded as treasures by the Song Dynasty people. The weapons were removed and even the good armor was replaced. Some Song soldiers were pitiful because of their superiors' greed and were wearing paper armor.

But without slacking off, Yeli Wangrong was unwilling to fail like this. He was still standing in the distance and began to order the soldiers to have lunch.

Zheng Lang said: "Eat."

It is too late to make fire and make rice. Like the people of Xixia, they eat dry food.

Forcibly resisted the smell of blood on the battlefield, Wen Yanbo came to Di Qing and Yang Wenguang and said, "General Di, Yang instructed, there is probably only one enemy invaders."

Until now, the enemy's rear army has not arrived yet, and there will probably be no rear army. Besides, scouts were sent to check in front, but the scouts did not come back. There are only two possibilities: there are rear army, and the scouts were killed by the enemy, and there are no rear army. The scouts expanded the scope of reconnaissance.

However, there is no movement behind the scenes so far, it will be the latter.

After hearing this, Wen Yanbo stroked his chest and came to the northwest and knew that there would be danger, but he did not expect that the danger would come so soon. Fortunately, Zheng Lang is not Fan Yong and will not command randomly. These two young generals seem to be good. If you don’t care about the credit, you will fight this enemy away first.

Zheng Lang chewed dry food, and the food was tasteless. There were many dead bodies on the ground and there was no appetite. So he stared at the enemy again and saw a general in the middle talking. He didn't know that Ye Li Wangrong himself was coming, otherwise he would be tempted.

Turning his head and saying to Di Qing, "You have fought with the Xixia people in front of the security army. Compare the two Xixia troops, which one is powerful?"

"This one." Di Qing chewed a bite of dry food and said, "In fact, no matter which one, the Xixia army was not strong, but they were Maduo."

Zheng Lang was silent.

Di Qing also wants to say that the physical strength of the Fanzi Qiangzi is still strong. If the Western Xia army is well-trained, it will be very terrible. For example, some Fan soldiers in the Song army have several times better than those of the Song Dynasty's imperial soldiers. The Song army is stronger than the border army, and the imperial troops in the capital are just that.

But his status dared not say this.

After lunch between the two sides, Yeli Wangrong launched another attack.
