Since ancient times, talented people have been born in the Red Chamber

Chapter 794 The cavalry is not for use now (Part [-] of the third watch)
Chapter 803

"Although the soldiers and horses in the three states are mobilized frequently, this is also normal. After all, it is after the new occupation, and this Wang Wushan is a very talented person. He must also be aware of the three states. The key to this is why you value Youzhou so much and sit here personally."

"This Youzhou has really been repaired by him like an iron barrel. However, with just a mere Youzhou, does he really think that he can stand still and wait for help?" Yelu and Luo sneered with sullen faces. road.

Xiao Wuna nodded with deep understanding, then his eyes fell on the extremely trustworthy person and asked. "Lord Pochao, do you have any news from the Xixia Kingdom?"

"Lord Xiao, according to the news that I, Xia Guozhong's secretary, Ren Duo Zongbao, has personally led a hundred thousand troops to the south, and the goal is to go directly to Yanzhou, which is the most west of the three states."

"He's going to fetch Yanzhou? That's fine. In this way, even if there is a large army on the Shaanxi Road who wants to reinforce, they must first consider the distance and speed." Xiao Wuna was slightly stunned, and soon understood Xixia's intentions.

But now, the Liaoxia coalition forces are strong, even if the [-] soldiers and horses are squeezed in, it will not be of much use. It is a good choice for them to attack Yanzhou, and it can also contain the main force of the Liaoxia army. Army reinforcements.

After the generals dispersed, Xiao Wuna, who had just slowly walked out of the Chinese army's tent, turned back and spoke to Yelu and Lu O.

"Your Highness, I think we should strengthen our offensive. No matter what, we should strive to capture Youzhou in the shortest possible time. This is not only for the sake of the morale of our army, but more importantly, those who can weigh more than a hundred kilograms." I, Daliao, must hold weapons tens of feet away from the stone bullets thrown by me..."

Yelu and Luo nodded in deep agreement and spoke in a deep voice. "Don't worry, Sir, your thoughts are also Gu's thoughts. The Song State has such weapons, and we, the Liao Dynasty, must have them. Otherwise, once the balance between the Liao and Song Dynasties is lost, then..."

"Retreat. These Western Xia dogs seem to be quite life-threatening. Unfortunately, they still can't change their problem of being good at field battles but not good at attacking cities..." A general standing next to Zhong Shidao took off his helmet and wiped it. A handful of sweat formed on his cheeks and he let out a sigh of relief.

Under the city wall, the Xixia soldiers and horses who attacked the city once again retreated towards the rear like an ebb tide, and hundreds of corpses were dropped under the city wall.

Even in the moat, there are still human bodies sinking and floating, but the water in the moat has been cut off by the Xixia people with sandbags desperately.

Next, they will definitely continue to use those bags filled with mud to completely block the moat, forming a flat road that can directly hit the foot of the city wall.

"Let them attack. With the city defense of New Yanzhou, Chong really wants to see if they have the ability to break through this fortified city." Master Zhong said with a smile, and raised his hand to stick a stick on the top of the city. The feathered arrows on the chess sticks were pulled out and thrown to the feet, where the young men who were collecting the feathered arrows shot by the Xixia people into the city were collecting them.

It is a pity that the Song Dynasty had crossbows, but the Xixia people only had bows and arrows. Therefore, after the crossbow arrows are shot down, they can be regarded as never returning, but the feather arrows are different. is generic.

However, the piercing power of Yuanyou Nu is comparable to that of ordinary bows and arrows. Many Xixia officers fell under the strength of Yuan You Nu.

Although it is difficult to cause fatal injuries to those officers after passing through the iron armor, the soldiers of Xixia suffered frequent turmoil because they lost the command of the officers, disrupting the order and efficiency of their attack .

"My lord, should we go out to attack the camp at night? The brothers in the cavalry are almost rusted in the city." Another general asked the teacher.

"Why panic, the cavalry is not used now. Since it can defend, why let the brothers risk their lives out of the city." Zhong Dao didn't even think about it and flatly rejected the proposal of the generals under his command.

"What we have to do now is to drag this Xixia army under the city of New Yanzhou to buy more time for Zhe Keshi."

"Speaking of which, his courage to beat someone is really getting bigger and bigger. He dared to go deep into the tiger's den with [-] cavalry, alas..." Zhong Shidao was both envious and faintly jealous.

After Zhe Keshi decided to lead [-] fine cavalry to harass the Xingqing Mansion, he sent someone to send a message, telling him that because of the arrival of the Xixia army, he had to stop going north to meet Zhe Keshi. teacher way.

Zhong Shidao was almost upset by Ke Shi's bold behavior, but he was helpless. After all, this guy threatened to have the warrant of Wang Yang, the three-state economic and strategic envoy, in his hand, and also analyzed the situation in detail. Such as the situation of Xingqing Mansion.

Although angry, Zhong Shidao also understands that this is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as he is careful enough, Zhe Keshi may really turn Xixia's hinterland into a pot of gruel.

It's a pity that I couldn't get away and led [-] elite cavalry to help.After all, the new Yanzhou guarded by a large army cannot afford to lose, and the old Yanzhou less than a hundred miles behind is full of a group of Xiang troops maintaining order.

As long as the new Yanzhou is here, the [-] Xixia army will not be able to get around, so they can only bite the bullet and continue to attack like a foolish old man moving mountains.

The most important thing is that with the 1 elite cavalry in hand, even if the Xixia people want to retreat after hearing the news that Xingqing Mansion was harassed by the Song army, they have to be careful and retreat slowly at every step. The [-] elite Song Army cavalry in the hands of the No. [-] general of the Western Army rushed to his chrysanthemum ruthlessly, and it was not just sour and refreshing.

A hundred miles east of Yaode City, it is a hilly area with fertile water and grass. Countless cattle and sheep are walking slowly by the green lake, munching on the rich grass.

The shepherd boys were laughing, riding their colts and chasing them, while the shepherds were on the high hills, under the shade of trees, or dozing lazily, or roasting the hunted hares, drinking That bad wine kills time.

From time to time, there was a faint thunderclap, presumably it should be the thunderstorm that often occurs in summer on the prairie.

Finally a shepherd stood up, yelled at the children to pay attention, and hurried back to the camp, and it was time for them to rein in the cattle and sheep, so as not to be frightened by lightning and scattered when the heavy rain came.

However, the continuous thunder sounded for a long time, but not a single cloud floated from east to west.At this time, an old man who was close to fifty years old with only his left arm left stood on the hill and looked towards the east for a long time, then suddenly fell down on the ground and listened intently for a long time.

Then his expression changed drastically and he suddenly howled. "Cavalry, a large number of cavalry, let the child return to the camp quickly, and inform..."
