Chapter 509 This Little Liang Empress Looks Down on Our Hongde Village Too Much (Part [-])
Chapter 508

After seeing Xiao Liang leading the elite Iron Kites to leave, Xixia's army gradually drifted away like a tide. It took half an hour for the army to pass by, but there were only seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses left behind. .

"Who am I? It turns out to be Wei Mingji." Zhe Keshi squinted one eye, and after looking through the binoculars with the other eye for a long time, his expression suddenly became clear.

Wang Yang narrowed his eyes and asked with some doubts. "Wei Mingji? Could this surname be the surname of the Dangxiang royal family?"

"Yes, this person is from the Tangxiang royal family and is the uncle of the current Young Emperor of Xixia. Moreover, this person is a veteran of Xixia and has experienced many battles. Because in Xixia, he has always been willing to fight with me. Because of this, the Zhuhe faction, which was a good friend of Song Dynasty, has always been unpopular with the Empresses of Liang Dynasty..."

With the introduction of the old driver Nazhe Keshi, Wang Yang suddenly realized. "Then since we don't agree with each other, but Empress Xiao Liang insists on bringing him out, is she worried that this Wei Mingji will cause trouble in the country?"

"But having said that, the subordinates of Wei Mingji are all old, weak, sick and disabled. It seems that there are probably less than a thousand cavalry here, and the rest are infantry."

"These are just auxiliaries and miscellaneous soldiers of Xixia. The population of Xixia is even smaller than that of the Song Dynasty. Although it is known as an army of 50, the real elite soldiers only number [-]..."

"They have mobilized nearly 30 troops this time. Since they are besieging all the villages and not attacking them, they certainly don't want to waste their elite troops on besieging the cities. They should probably concentrate them on Huanzhou City."

And camps were set up in the three directions of Hongdezhai, all within a certain distance. In this way, even if the Song Army wanted to sneak attack, the opponent would be able to respond in the first time, so that the Song Army would not be caught. Get caught off guard.

However, in the open space between the village and the Xixia army, there are more than a dozen Xixia reconnaissance cavalry squads still roaming arrogantly.

Even from time to time, they leaned into the place of arrows, and shot arrows provocatively towards the wall of the village, and then rode their horses to flee far away after the Song army in Hongde Village fought back.

"This is the most common method used by the Xixia people. They use small groups of rangers to run around the city and shoot arrows to provoke me and hurt our soldiers. If they are really provoked and send out fewer troops, it will easily fall to those Xixia people. During the encirclement and suppression by the rangers. If more troops and horses are sent out, it would be equivalent to our Song army voluntarily giving up the geographical advantage and fighting in the field with the Xixia army outside the city."

"So at this time, the best way is to shoot and kill some scouts, which can not only boost morale, but also let those Xixia scouts know how powerful they are."

After seeing this scene, Zhe Keshi explained to Wang Yang beside him.Then he raised his hand and waved to the side, and the understanding soldier immediately handed over a hard bow.

After Zhe Keshi tried the strings, his eyes fell on the scouts under the wall of the village.

Wang Yang stroked his chin, and looked at those Xixia scouts with great interest.Then he looked at Zhe Keshi, who was walking slowly on the city wall with a hard bow.

At this time, there were three Xixia scouts right in front of them, nimbly controlling their mounts and galloping near the range of the Song Dynasty's crossbows.

The guards at Hongde Village were very angry, but they also knew that such a moving target was not so easy to shoot.But at this moment, the Xixia scouts below suddenly made a sharp turn and rushed towards the wall of the village.

Then the three scouts drew their bows and set their arrows almost at the same time, and saw three arrows flying obliquely like lightning. The two Song soldiers bowed their heads quickly and let the arrows go.

However, one of the defenders reacted a little slower, and an arrow hit the helmet with a crisp sound, and his head was thrown back by the huge force.

Suddenly, the Xixia Detective Cavalry's joking laughter came from below again, but it was only for a short moment, and the Xixia Detective Cavalry's laughter suddenly stopped.

A feather arrow directly sank into the head of the head, that is, the neck of the scout who shot the helmet of the Song army. The Xixia scout trembled like an electric shock, and then his body went limp, and he fell limp On the ground, he was dragged forward by the horse underneath him and continued to run wildly.

The other two Xixia scouts were a little panicked, shooting back and galloping out of range.And at this moment, another arrow arrived like a thunderbolt.

In the end, only one of the Western Xia scouting cavalry team escaped in disgrace.At this time, I heard the soldiers of the Song army on the edge of the wall excitedly shouting in unison, the general is mighty.

"This is our General Zhe, and he is the only one who has the ability to draw his bow twice in such a short period of time." The lieutenant standing beside Wang Yang was also blushing with excitement at the moment.

In this way, the enemy's arrogance can be suppressed, and the act of killing the enemy and demonstrating can indeed boost the morale of the soldiers.

"I didn't expect our General Zhe to be so good at shooting and so accurate at moving targets..." Wang Yang couldn't help but clapped his hands and sighed.At this time, there are several sycophants around Zhe Keshi who are fiercely praising Zhe Keshi's superb shooting skills.

Seeing Wang Yang giving him a thumbs up, Zhe Keshi said a few words of courtesy in a very humble manner.Although those Xixia scouts suffered some setbacks, they did not escape far.

Instead, he continued to wander under the wall of the village, but this time, he seemed to be much more cautious. Even if he broke into the shooting range and made a sneak attack on the wall of the village, he would never stop and leave without stopping.

"Will they always be like this?" Wang Yang smacked his mouth, raised his chin, and asked Zhe Keshi.

Zhe Keshi nodded, as if he was used to it. "Yes, they will take turns to harass day and night like this. As a result, it will be difficult for the defenders to get a chance to rest. After all, no one knows when the Xixia thieves will launch a large-scale attack. However, as long as you grasp the rules Just like..."

"But there are not many Xixia cavalry left now, not to mention those reconnaissance cavalry are also elite. They can only last for two or three days at most. If they die too many times under the city, they will be wise enough not to harass them like this anymore."

"No wonder General Zhe wants to go to battle in person." Wang Yang suddenly nodded and said. "It seems that General Zhe is also not used to seeing these Xixia bandits so arrogant and domineering."

"That's natural." Zhe Keshi took a deep breath and nodded heavily. "We definitely can't let those Xixia Xiao Xiaoxiao be too arrogant."

Wang Yang saw those Xixia scouts who were as annoying as flies, so he couldn't help pointing to the Xixia army road in the distance. "General Zhe, Xiaoliang empress looks down on our Hongde village too much, right? Look... the elite cavalry are not left behind, but a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, and a group of scout cavalry Harassing us so blatantly."
