Chapter 631: Yuan Hao Retreats
Without water, the limit of human survival is three days.
But the time for this battle is too short for three days. The battle in front of three days has not even been decided.
Ge Huaimin closed the formation because he failed to pursue, and Dangxiang was a spear and Song Jin was a strong shield. The shield had a strong defense, which made Dangxiang people unable to chew this hard bone for the time being.
The battle lasted until the next day. Li Yuanhao had an iron kite in his hand and could not attack the Song army. The troops retreated back to Xiangjia Gorge. Ge Huaimin set up camp in the same place and did not dare to enter Dingchuan Village. Dingchuan Village is now a dead city. When he goes in, he will become Ma Su of Jieting when he breaks the water source.
Just as the camp was in trouble, the turmoil broke out again. At dusk, the wind suddenly rose, and the flying sand and stones changed color. The Song army thought that Li Yuanhao was coming and trampled on each other, and the chaos was in chaos. Ge Huaimin was the main general of the army and was almost trampled to death by his own people. Before he could beat him, the Song army lost hundreds more.
General Zhao Xun advocated the unexpected transfer of the troops to the Huaide Army. The Huaide Army is located in the northeast of Dingchuan Village and is even closer to Xixia. Li Yuanhao was killed and could not have thought that the Song army suffered a loss in front of the formation and dared to run under his nose.
What's more important is that the Huaide army has no shortage of food, grass and supplies, and it will not be a problem to guard for three or five months. If we do not continue to lose troops, we will wait until Xia Shu leads his troops to encircle, and then we can truly lift the siege of Dingchuan.
You have to go north! Ge Huaimin was almost trampled to death today and lost his three souls and seven spirits. Before the god came back, he felt even more nervous when he heard Zhao Xun's suggestion. This suggestion was too bold and he had to take the risk of slipping away from Li Yuanhao's eyes. He finally settled the village down. If he moved again, Li Yuanhao might bite him again!
The other generals were only concerned about saving their lives. When they saw Ge Huaimin's expression, they knew that this recruit was also afraid of death. Everyone was afraid of death, so don't take risks again!
All the generals refused to follow Zhao Xun’s advice!
What Ge Huaimin now thought was to stay until dawn and return home safely! He didn't go anywhere, and returned to Zhenrong Army on the same road. There were strong cities of the Song Dynasty and elites, so he dared not fight Zhenrong even if he gave Li Yuanhao the courage.
Zhao Xun sighed. The general was incompetent and the three armies were affected. Ge Huaimin was greedy for merit and was afraid of death. He didn't need to fight this battle. Clean his neck and prepare to sacrifice his life for the country.
In the early morning of the third day, Ge Huainmin asked the chief supervisor of Wating Village, Xu Sichun, Huanqing Village, Liu He, to set up a formation to prepare for retreat, and used Wating Village as bait to directly withdraw the Zhenrong Army.
When the Song army withdrew to Wating Village, Ge Huaimin realized that when the strong wind was blowing last night, Li Yuanhao did not retreat, but went around a big circle and sneaked to Wating Village. He had long surrounded the village like an iron bucket, and even a bird could not fly out.
What's even more terrifying is that the journey to Zhenrong was cut off by the Western thieves. Li Yuanhao had been waiting for a long time on the way back, and Ge Huaimin's thoughts had already made Li Yuanhao have already eaten through it. Li Yuanhao was sneered when he saw it.
He can't chew the city wall, can't he still fight this army? He cut off Song's retreat, and they have no intention of fighting. As long as they have to hold on for a few days, the battle will be won!
Li Yuanhao looked at Ge Huaimin who was soaked in a honeypot in Wenrou Township. It took less than three days to lose, and one day was enough.
History has long been destined. It is the same as the content that children learn in textbooks thousands of years later. In this battle, the Song army was defeated without accident. More than 9,400 soldiers were killed in front of the battle. Generals from Ge Huaimin, General Zhao Xun, Liu He and Xu Sichun and other 16 generals were all stained with blood on the battlefield and could never return to Guyuan City.
After two defeats from Sanchuankou and Haoshuichuan, the Song Dynasty swallowed the defeat of Dingchuan Village. The difference is that the first two or two times was the other party who hit the door of the house and was deceived out to suffer a loss. This time, someone else had hit the house and smashed the guy who lived in your family and beat your baby...
It was so embarrassing that I threw it to my grandma's house...
Li Yuanhao destroyed Ge Huaimin and snatched the Song army's supplies, food, grass and weapons. It was like a down-and-out household who tasted the sweetness suddenly snatched the rich man's rice warehouse, and made a fortune by moving and transporting. He licked his tongue and prepared to extend his fangs to the sheep pen.
He divided several troops to siege Dingchuan Village, Wating Village and several surrounding villages. Ge Huaimin's defeat was right in front of him. The Song army no longer had the courage to fight in the field, and each of the fortresses was defended in order to protect him.
These forts were all in the territory of the Song Dynasty. I never thought that Li Yuanhao would really come to the front. Many water sources were not prepared. Wating Village was surrounded for two days and the water sources were cut off. The fortress had no main general in the formation, so Li Yuanhao was soon attacked.
Li Yuanhao broke several villages and crossed more than 600 miles across the Song Dynasty, burning, killing, looting, and the people were in trouble. Wherever they went, they would not grow any grass and burn them all. The northwest shock spread to Bianjing.
Li Yuanhao traveled 600 miles northwest and returned to Dingchuan Village. What made him outside was that this inconspicuous small village, which was not yet completely erect, was the only village that was still standing in the northwest!
Liang Chuan bet with his own eyes that more than 20,000 people were beaten up in a circle, and the bedding was rolled up and the miserable situation of running away. He could not see Ge Huaimin being completely wiped out by Li Yuanhao, but seeing that the momentum and tactics of the two armies were still there, Song Xia was unable to escape the third defeat in the battle.
It was through this battle that Xixia had the capital to negotiate with the Song Dynasty. The Liao Kingdom was an old-fashioned power, with soldiers, money and territory. It was normal to negotiate peace. Xixia could be on par with the Song Dynasty, which was completely achieved by fists.
Yang Qi led a group of people to survive, and they worked hard for the water source for three days.
Although the destruction of several other fortresses such as Wating Village was certainly due to the absence of the main general, more importantly, the water source in the city was cut off, and many soldiers died of hunger and thirst, and the wounds were not clean and clean and healed. The wounds were infected and countless people died.
They realized that it was already two days later when the Dangxiang people siege the city, and it was too late to dig a well to fetch water.
Liang Chuan's suggestion saved the lives of Quandingchuan Village. Yang Qi knew that Liang Chuan was not an ordinary person. Even Ding Wei valued Liang Chuan very much in Bianjing, so he temporarily promoted Liang Chuan to be his deputy and followed him.
When people are critical, they help them come up with ideas, so the pressure will be much less.
The people from Dingchuan Village have been digging ground crazily since the first day, digging down several feet underground.
If you don’t dig, you will die of thirst!
Looking at the people in the city who died of hunger and thirst, and the wounded and injured and unable to be defamed, the people in the city died one after another. The desire for survival was strong, Yang Qi mobilized everyone, and the soldiers were responsible for defending the city and shooting arrows at the Dangxiang people under the city.
Some people in the city are responsible for cleaning up the dead brothers and bodies. They cannot dig up water and let the corrupt corpses be contaminated when they are. The corpses will bring plague, which is more deadly than a knife and arrow.
On the contrary, the one who survived the most was Vader.
The servants usually do the hardest and most tiring work, and it is common to be hungry and thirsty. Under such extreme conditions, the endurance they usually endure has become their most precious wealth.
The water, rice and grain in the city are all distributed according to the heads, and they have less food and use less than ordinary soldiers, so they can naturally hold on for more time.
Li Yuanhao lost two generals in Dingchuan Village, and hated Dingchuan Village to the core. He surrounded Dingchuan Village with three layers inside and three layers outside. He shot into the water with no money, and shot in the inside one round after another, with several people standing at the top of the city.
The Dangxiang people did not have a ladder to attack the city, nor did they break into the door and rush to the car, otherwise they would not be able to withstand the troops in Dingchuan Village for a quarter of an hour.
"Listen to the people in the city, open the city gate and I will give you a pleasure. It's not good to die of thirst!"
Yang Qi didn't dare to answer. Liang Chuan suddenly thought of a plan and whispered in Yang Qi's ear. Yang Qi hesitated when she heard it: "Is this OK?"
Liang Chuan could only say: "A dead horse is treated as a living horse."
Liang Chuan hated Li Yuanhao so much because of the death of old beggar. He stood at the top of the city and opened his voice and said loudly: "Don't you want to set up Chuanzhai? You have the ability to get in by yourself. There are so many water cities, so I don't care about it!"
After saying that, Liang Chuan took out his water bag, pulled it open and filled it into his stomach. It was not satisfying. The water bag was raised above his head, and the water poured down, washing his face with a refreshing pleasure!
Liang Chuan's actions were so exciting that a burst of cheers and cheers broke out from the city wall!
Li Yuanhao was furious. It was rare that there were such heroes in this small city. He pointed at Liang Chuan and said, "Do you dare to sign up?"
Liang Chuan was full of energy, and a sense of pride spread from the top of the city, shouting loudly: "Why don't you dare? Li Yuanhao, please remember me, I will not change my name or surname, but Grandpa Liang Chuan is the same!"
Li Yuanhao was furious: "Hmph, just rats, you will never be the one who left his name in history! But I want to establish unparalleled achievements. You ants will only become my stepping stones!"
"You traitor, you are worthy of making merits? Historians will only remember you being unfaithful and unfilial. They take the benefits of the Song Dynasty but bite your parents with food and clothing. What's the reason for leaving in history books is also a stigma. What's so glorious about it?"
Liang Chuan's righteous words won the cheers of everyone in the city. Although he could not fight this anger, he also won a game back through Liang Chuan's verbal battle!
A soldier pretended that a water source was fired from the city and shouted in the city: "It's water coming out!"
A voice sounded, and the voices of others also shouted: "It's out of the water!"
The soldiers gathered the clear water they assigned to together, put it in buckets, and carried it to the top of the city.
Liang Chuan lifted the bucket and poured it on his body.
I just washed my face, but now I have been covered in my body!
Others also learned a lot, and they all picked up buckets to pour water on themselves. The water seemed to be absent. On the surface, the soldiers didn't feel sorry for them. In fact, they were all worried that if the thief outside the city was not deceived, they would waste so much water and die a few more brothers...
Seeing the soldiers wasting water so much, Li Yuanhao mistakenly thought that water had been fired in the city. He was so angry that the horse whip was thrusting. He received a spy from him and then reported to Fan Zhongyan to lead his army to rescue Dingchuan Village. The Shaanxi ties gathered 200,000 troops to be restrained because of Ge Huaimin's defeat. They looked at Dingchuan Village several times and cursed several times in Xixia. They did not dare to stay too much under Dingchuan Village. They turned their horses and turned their horses to Tiandu Mountain and returned.
