Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 575
Under Yongle City, another battlefield between the Liangshan Army and the Xixia Army.General Wei's name is Qu Huai, and a large number of tribal soldiers have arrived here.

This person is after Wei Minglangyu, a famous general of Xixia in the early days, but in fact he is also the clan of Xixia.

The so-called "Wei Ming" is the original surname of the Xixia Lord.Li Yuanhao once called himself Wei Mingxiao.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Sigong, who was born in the Tuoba clan of the party, made great contributions in suppressing the Huangchao Uprising. He was named the Jiedu Envoy of the Dingnan Army, the Duke of Xia, and given the surname "Li" by the Tang Dynasty.In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the surname was given to Zhao.After Li Yuanhao established the country, he changed his surname to Wei in order to mark national characteristics, and his son Li Liangzuo changed his surname to Li in order to promote the Han system.In fact, the two have always coexisted.

Roughly like the yellow and red belts of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, most of the royal family took the surname Li, and the imperial clan took the Wei name.

Wei Ming Qu Huai's troops are not very strong, he is only a partial division here, and the main force is in Yinzhou.However, Zhe Yanzhi's troops in Yongle City also have not many troops, so they can only defend the city, and it is difficult to go out to defeat the enemy.

Lu Qian fixed his eyes on Yongle City. This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The only drawback is that there is no water source.However, it has been 20 years since the Song Army restored Yongle City. They have already built a water storage tank and dug a deep well. Although they are not guaranteed to be carefree, they do not need to worry about drinking water in three or two months.

Naturally, there are not too many soldiers and horses stationed in the city.The total number is only more than [-] people, and all the residents inside and outside have moved out.

This point of soldiers and horses is more than enough to stick to, but it is difficult to send troops.

However, here in Mizhi Village, Lu Qian has hoarded more than [-] buqi.Now that they are heading towards Yongle City with great fanfare, they will naturally be able to hide their name from Qu Huai.

This man is not a foolish and daring master, he sent all the rangers and explorers fifty miles away.Even if you want to sneak attack, it is difficult!Otherwise, Lu Qian will definitely make some money first.

Wei Ming Qu Huaide did not dare to hesitate after reporting the news, and immediately sent a letter to Yinzhou.The next day, Li Heda led his soldiers and horses through the Hengshan Mountain Road to Yongle City.

If Yinzhou is not broken, they will not be able to walk along the Wuding River.A logistical package is enough to make them scratch their heads.Another solution is to win Yongle City.

Before Li Heda led his troops to Yongle City, Lu Qian had already fought with Wei Ming Qu Huai.The Xixia army is weak in terms of strength, and its combat power is even worse. How can it defeat the Liangshan army?It's just that the Hengshan Pass corresponding to Yongle City is more than [-] feet wide, but narrow and tortuous. The Xixia Army took a step back and is now defending against danger. It is impossible for Lu Qian to defeat it for a while.

After Li Heda led the brigade to arrive, the balance of forces between each other changed again.From the strong Liangshan army, the Xixia army was weak; the Xixia army was strong, and the Liangshan army was weak.

Naturally, Lu Qian also changed his tactics accordingly. He no longer saw tens of thousands of Liangshan cavalry marching mightily to Hengshan Pass, screaming and cursing. Instead, he turned around and retreated to the camp thirty miles away. The battle turned into a small group of soldiers and horses to harass.

Well, maybe the word "attack" in the back is not very precise, but the word "harassment" in the front is definitely in place.

From beating gongs and drums to booing and shouting at night, to showing a sense of presence from time to time during the day, it makes Wei Ming Qu Huai and Li Heda really disgusting.

This afternoon, Xixia soldiers stormed Yongle City, killing and injuring 500 people in vain, but they did not pose any real threat to Yongle City.

The area of ​​Yongle City is not vast, but the city defense is very strong.The urns inside and outside the city gates, the turrets at the corners of the city walls, the horse faces connected to the city walls and the battlements on the horse faces, as well as the piercing gaps on the city walls, the nails and rakes hanging outside, and the iron thorns and thorns, etc. all available.

The so-called "horse face" is not a horse face, but refers to the outwardly protruding piers in the city wall, which are called horse faces because of their slender shape, which resembles the face of a horse.The horse face can not only enhance the firmness of the wall, but also eliminate the dead corner of the defender's battlefield in the city defense battle-once the enemy's troops approach the city, the defenders on the adjacent horse face can be organized into a cross-shooting net, allowing the next The enemy soldiers were disturbed left and right.

On the Yongle City, there are such horse faces protruding from the city wall every ten feet, and there are auxiliary battlements on each of them, also known as "defense towers".The length and width are one foot and three feet each, and the height is two feet. It is divided into upper and lower floors. Although it is rammed earth, it is strong enough.On the top of the mountain, there are stacked passes on the top to protect each other.

On the bottom floor facing the city, there is an arched gate. There are wooden stairs in the building, and a floor slab on the upper floor. There are two arched windows on each of the four sides of the upper floor.It can be used for the guards to avoid wind and rain, store weapons, and the top can also be used for climbing and overlooking.

This is the city defense of this time and space.

The enemy towers and the four-corner towers are like sentry posts, making the invading enemy have nowhere to hide.The window openings on the upper floor are not only the eyes and ears for distant viewing, but also the firing ports of powerful bows and crossbows. There are many watchtowers, not only the outside but also the inside, closely monitoring every change in the city.Whether in peacetime or wartime, it has the effect of public security prevention.

In the evening, puffs of black smoke rose from all sides of the city.But the annoyed Wei Ming Qu Huai dispatched troops to burn down the villages and large farmlands around Yongle City.It has been 20 years that there has been no sound of war and killing here. Although it is close enough to the border of Xixia, it is located in the valley of the Wuding River. The water source along the river is abundant and the land is fertile. How can there be no people to cultivate it?After the sky completely darkened, the distant flames became more clearly visible.

There was no regret on Lu Qian's face. After defeating Xixia, he would pick up the knife and gouge out the flesh from the opponent.

The clear brilliance of the bright moon sprinkled the earth, and the road outside the city was clearly visible.Lu Junyi, who had rested for a year, led a hundred cavalrymen, quietly approaching the Xixia military camp!
It is impossible for so many Xixia soldiers to gather in one camp.There are eleven fortresses set up around Yongle City.

The Xixia military camp a few miles away was lit up by a little fire, but it was quiet.

"Inferior—" Lu Junyi sneered at the corner of his mouth. If the general of the Xixia Army thought that he could attract Liangshan Army to act rashly by pretending like this, he would be too simple-minded.Don't you know that Your Majesty has already found out every move of the Xixia Army thoroughly?
"Be careful, withdraw immediately if something goes wrong—"

The horse wrapped its feet and held a piece in its mouth, and passed silently for a mile.Two miles, three miles... I can't go any further.Here is the red line that Lu Qian drew for him.Although Lu Junyi really couldn't imagine how Lu Qian knew everything clearly.Could it be that the intelligence department's secret operations in the Xixia army have been mixed in...

What Lu Junyi was thinking in his heart did not show on his face at all.What about the intelligence department has nothing to do with him.

The Xixia military camp was right in front of him, and Lu Junyi had a mischievous smile on his face, "You guys are all up, bragging, beating, give me enough strength! Let's make a fuss..."

After giving an order, the hundred and ten cavalrymen under him immediately picked up the guy in their hands—not knives, swords, or guns, but gongs, trombones, and black horns.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

"woo woo woo woo……"

The hundred and ten people worked hard together, blowing loudly and fiddling with the things in their hands.The chaotic sounds resounded immediately, and in this silent night, it was still very clear that it reached Yongle City.In comparison, the Xixia military camp, which was closer, was clearer and louder.

Wei Ming Qu Huai smiled, hehe, there was no ruthlessness on his face.However, the guards around him couldn't help shrinking their necks.They have been with Wei Ming Qu Huai for a while, how can they not know this master's temper?
This is not really happy, it is purely laughing out of anger, and the anger in my heart is going crazy.

"when--"

As expected, the guards were not mistaken, Wei Ming Qu Huai immediately went into a frenzy.He kicked the cases in front of him.With a loud bang, the entire case was kicked into the air.

At Yin time, the fourth watch is over.

Another wave of Liangshan cavalry who beat gongs and drums was driven away.The bronze gongs and broken drums collected by the Xixia soldiers no longer dared to send them to Weiming Qu Huai, because the Liangshan cavalry who were driven away this time was already the sixth wave tonight.

These people are really crazy!Here they are banging drums, there are drums, and large fireworks are set off. The sound fills the sky and makes people sick.

"A group of flies!" Said so angrily, it can be seen that Wei Ming Qu Huai's heart is full of anger.This method is dirty.

But what can be done about this, he is not the only one who is so angry psychologically, the entire Xixia army, who is not screaming with anger?Liangshan cavalry's troubles are like a fly that can't be hit, always buzzing next to your ears.

Even Li Heda, who was the most calm, lost his appetite when he mentioned it.

"Hahaha, hahaha..." On the head of Yongle City, Orihiko looked at the noisy Xixia army village and laughed loudly. "It's almost dawn, I think you still have the strength to jump around?"

Earlier, the Xixia soldiers attacked the city, relying on the strength of their numbers, but they were able to suppress Yongle City.Now that all the depression that Zhe Keda had collected has been let out, it is called joy.

In the Xixia military camp here, Li Heda made a move, dispatched several thousand cavalry, and set up police posts outside.

Helpless, it always takes energy, so I give up the small and take the big.

It's just that these cavalry are also mortals with naked eyes, they can only be policemen, and they can't detect the enemy's situation from a long distance like night vision eyes.This is still somewhat passive.

Lu Junyi, Sun An, Yuan Lang, Suo Chao and other fierce generals led a small group of Liangshan cavalry in and out of various places. Before dawn, there were four more disturbances, although they did not approach the Xixia army stronghold like the previous few times. .But they also brought thousands of Xixia cavalry galloping on their horses, chasing them again and again. The loud sound of horseshoes undoubtedly continued to disturb the Xixia army on the opposite side.

The sky is gradually dawning, the light blue sky is inlaid with a few residual stars, the moon has faded, and the earth is hazy, like a silver-gray veil.

Liangshan's army finally stopped harassing them, and at dawn, Weiming Qu Huaifang breathed a sigh of relief.Since Liang Shanjun is not here, he can catch up on his sleep peacefully.

"Haha, General Zhe, you should know. When this man was the weakest, he didn't just survive the night like this, but he was awakened again when he fell asleep. At that time, he couldn't open his eyes, and his whole body It's all sour..."

If so, at dawn, it was time for them to attack again.Lu Junyi laughed at Zhe Yanzhi, and led a battalion of Liangshan Army cavalry who entered the city at some time behind him, and left Yongle City.It's like not knowing when he entered Yongle City.

A hint of egg white has appeared in the distant sky, and the clouds are gathering on the horizon like a market. The morning sun has not yet risen, but it has already made the many clouds on the horizon appear faintly red, as if soaked in blood.

The gate of Wengcheng was opened, and five hundred relatives galloped out under the leadership of Lu Junyi.

"Puff..." The table in the big tent was kicked over by Wei Ming Qu Huai, and a crazy and restless killing intent screamed in his heart.

——I want to kill every Han Chinese, I want to capture every Liangshan cavalryman, and torture them one by one tens of millions of times!

"Swatt those flies to death, I want them to be smashed to pieces——" The roar was mixed with endless anger.

The five hundred cavalrymen crushed a thousand cavalry from the captured army, and then crushed a thousand cavalry from the tribe without any hindrance. Not all Qu Huai and Li Heda were furious.This record is embarrassing.

Wei Ming Qu Huai's words are orders, and at this time the entire Xixia Army battalion is already preparing breakfast.

For about two quarters of an hour, tens of thousands of Western Xia cavalry came out in full force.

Lu Junyi smiled brightly...

To the east, to the south, to the west, then to the north...

Lu Junyi led tens of thousands of Western Xia cavalry around a large circle, the center point is Yongle City. "Haha, haha..." The Xixia Army, which had a hard time resting at night, hadn't attacked the city in recent days, so Lu Junyi led his troops and plunged into Yongle City again.Zhe Yanzhi on the top of the city looked at the running gray-faced Xixia cavalry, and laughed happily.
