I will never be Renzong

Chapter 152 Battle in the Middle Road
In the fourth year of Tiansheng, on June [-]th, Zhao Zhen led [-] cavalry and finally arrived at Shicheng before dark.

Zhao Zhen came here after a long journey, and it stands to reason that he should rest, but the military information he received along the way forced Zhao Zhen to hold a military meeting overnight.

It was night, in the hall of the city lord's mansion, the lights were brightly lit, and the generals from the right side gathered together.

Zhao Zhen glanced at the generals, and then said to Wang Kai, the general beside him: "Wang Kai, tell me about the current battle situation!"

"Yes! Officials!"

Wang Kai paid a military salute to Zhao Zhen, and then said to everyone: "At present, my army on the left, under the command of Cao Wei, Duke of Wuwei County, set out from Huanzhou and conquered Qingyuan, Leshanzhai, and Weizhou three days ago. But then he was surrounded by an army of [-] led by Li Deming. According to the battle report, there are still more than [-] left in the army on the left, so Duke Cao intends to stick to it and wait for help.

Under the command of Annanbo Wang Deyong, the middle army started from the security army and conquered Changchengling, Hongzhou, Wuyan, and is currently marching towards Yuzhou. Judging from the battle reports sent up so far, the middle army lost more than [-] people.

Under the command of Ping Lubo Zhong Shiheng, the army on the right set out from the Suide army and successively conquered Yinzhou, Shicheng, and lost more than [-] soldiers. "

Seeing this, Zhao Zhen said: "The military situation is like a war. Right now, the army on the left is trapped in Weizhou. Whether to send troops to rescue or attack Xiazhou according to the original plan, all generals can speak freely!"

Zhong Shiheng said: "Officials! Our army on the right currently has 6 light cavalry, 3 heavy cavalry, and [-] infantry. The enemy general Yeli Wangrong is stationed in Xiazhou. , I am afraid that our army will find it difficult to conquer Xiazhou for a while, so I think we should send troops to rescue Weizhou!"

Di Qing said: "Officials! There are 4 defenders in Weizhou, and Duke Cao has experienced hundreds of battles, and he is especially good at defending the city. Although the Qiang people have 9 troops, they are only good at field battles and not good at attacking cities. Defend the city and contain Li Deming's main force, and when our army breaks through Xiazhou and drives straight in, Li Deming will retreat!"

Zhao Zhen glanced at the map, was silent for a long time, and then said: "Right now, we are besieging Xiazhou, and the loss outweighs the gain, so I decided to send troops to capture Sanchakou and attack Youzhou from the rear. I would like to see if Yeli Wangrong is If we continue to hide in Xiazhou City, we should send troops to rescue Youzhou."

"Zhong Shiheng!"

"The end is here!"

Zhong Shiheng hurriedly knelt on one knee to answer.

"I order you to command [-] cavalry to attack Sanchakou!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Twenty miles southeast of Yuzhou, there is a place called Liupoling. Ye Liyu, the general of Youzhou, led 3 troops to set up defense here. He did not obey Li Deming's military order to defend Yuzhou, but relying on his proficiency in field battles, It is planned to defeat the Song Dynasty's middle road army in one fell swoop.

Because he received the news that the middle army of the Song Dynasty was almost all infantry, and he had nearly [-] cavalry in his hands. When the Song army marched here, Xia Guo cavalry rushed out on both sides, and it was bound to defeat the Song army.

On the winding and rugged mountain road, pairs of soldiers are marching in a neat line. From a distance, the tens of thousands of troops look like a long dragon.

"What is this place?"

Wang De looked at Liu Po ​​Ridge while riding on horseback.

"Commander! This is Liuboling. After leaving here, we will reach Youzhou City in another twenty miles!"

A deputy general said hurriedly.

Just at this time, a soldier from the front army was covered in blood and came panting. He bowed to Wang Deyong and said, "Commander, the situation is not good! The front army was attacked by the enemy and is currently struggling to support itself. I hope the commander will send troops to support quickly!"

"Commander! It's not good! There are tens of thousands of enemy cavalry behind our army. The rear army has been dispersed, and the large cavalry is attacking our army!"

"Tap tap tap~"

A sound of hoofbeats sounded from behind.

Wang Deyong immediately issued an order: "Pass down the order, fight back and fight ahead, form an formation, notify Yang Wenguang, and I must stand up to this commander!"

Although Yang Wenguang was caught off guard by the Qiang people's sneak attack, the situation was not conducive to the Song army. Yang Wenguang made a decisive decision and ordered the whole army to go to the jungle on the left. , beheaded countless times, and finally the Song army gradually reversed the situation and fought with the Qiang people in the jungle.

After Yeli Yuqi led [-] cavalry to attack the Song army's rear army, only a few thousand cavalry were left to charge, but he led more than [-] cavalry to attack Wang Deyong's central army, but he never thought about it. At that time, Wang Deyong had already lined up!
It is not the first time that Wang Deyong has fought against Dangxiang. As early as in the reign of Emperor Taizong, when the Five Route Army attacked Xia, Wang Deyong followed his father, Wang Chaoyue, and served as a vanguard officer. He led his troops to fight at Tiemenguan. level, fought for three consecutive days, and defeated the enemy.

Because Wang Deyong is burly, tall and dark-complexioned, he is called "Hei Wang Xianggong!" When a child in the western border is crying, the family members often shout: "Hei Wang Xianggong is here!" to scare the child.

When the two armies confronted each other, a Qiang general suddenly said to Yeli Yuqi: "General! The opposite is the black prince Wang Deyong, don't act recklessly!"

Seeing this, Ye Liyuqi said: "Keep your dog eyes wide open and take a good look. The opponents are all infantry, and our Qiang cavalry is the natural enemy of the Song Dynasty infantry. The sons of the Qiang nationality have made great achievements in this dynasty, and send orders to attack!"

"Woo~ la la la ~ la"

More than ten thousand cavalry began to gallop towards the Chinese army used by Wang De.

"The bow and arrow battalion is ready!"

Three thousand archers drew their bows and set their arrows, and shot the arrows in their hands with only one order.

After the Qiang cavalry came into range, Wang De used all his energy to shout loudly: "Let go!"

The Qiang cavalry in the charge were lucky enough to block the arrows of the Song Dynasty by waving their weapons. If they were unlucky, they would be shot by feather arrows, but the Qiang people were brave after all. Those who hurt a vital point were immediately broken, and then continued to charge forward, but some were shot directly at a vital point, and could only shout up to the sky, and then fell off the horse's back.

After three rounds of rain and arrows, the Qiang people finally rushed within a hundred meters of the Song Army after paying the price of two or three thousand cavalry. Spread out from side to side, and then pairs of heavily armed heavy armored infantry were waiting in formation with spears in hand.

"Sigh~"

Under the control of the master, the horses rushed straight to the heavy armored spear battalion. The soldiers took out their spears and stabbed the horses fiercely. The horses felt the pain, and immediately raised their front hooves, throwing the cavalry off the horses. Those who are lucky can escape their lives by chance, and those who are unlucky will be trampled to death by the horses rushing up from behind.

And more Qiang cavalry were thrown to the Song army's position due to the powerful inertial effect. He was killed, but he was stabbed to death by Song Jun's random guns as soon as he got up.

The Qiang cavalry rushed forward one after another. Many heavy armored spearmen were rushed out by the horses, but a spearman was quickly added behind. The army formation has not been washed away.
