Chapter 192 The First Battle (Part 2)
"I picked up my life. It's time to serve." Hu Qian said silently in his heart, slapping the horse and catching up with the enemy, raising his sword, slashing an enemy soldier under the horse, and then slapping the horse and killing him again.
"This kid is good, it's worthwhile to save him." Li Sangou said. As he also slammed the horse and rushed into the enemy's back and started fighting.
The two of them took hundreds of names, like tigers pounced into the flock of sheep, and kept biting them, and every bite was full of blood.
Wang Ju and his imprisoned soldiers came out of the woods.
I was not very satisfied. First of all, there were few enemies chasing, which reduced the results of this ambush battle.
Secondly, although I experienced bandit training and arrived at the actual battlefield, the injunction was still a little nervous, so I was not sure about the accuracy when shooting archery.
Wang Ju was not angry either. Everyone was making progress. This is the meaning of actual combat.
He looked around and Yao Yi walked around the enemy. The group of men also had people who could beat him, but his command ability was limited, so he had to make a decision quickly, so he sent an order: "Cut down trees immediately and pick up stones. Remember to pick up small trees, and time is limited."
The injunctions penetrated into the woods and began to cut down trees.
Wang Zangbu, in front of Jier Village, continued to lobby: "The people in the village have heard, the reinforcements you are counting on are scared away, surrender quickly, I am limited in patience."
There were also several strong men and strong horses in the village. One strong man raised his bow and arrow, but was pressed down by the old man beside him.
The arrow was released and could not be taken back. Once it was released, the villagers in the village might be waiting for blood to be washed away.
Fortunately, Jier's terrain is relatively dangerous, so Yequ Village has fallen and Jier Village has not yet been captured.
Hopefully a miracle will happen.
However, this note shows his pessimism.
"Weng Weng. Song Army is back again." The strong man holding the bow and arrow said in surprise.
He was killed by Hubi and was thrown away his armor, but everyone was a cavalry, and the horses Li Sangou and his friends were all good horses bought with money. They didn’t have the best good horses, but they didn’t have bad horses. They were light-fitting and the horses were carrying less weight. Not only did they not have a disadvantage in speed, but they had a slight advantage.
He was fleeing with Hu Bi and his men, but he could not get rid of the pursuers of the Song Dynasty.
Turning over the mountain pass, Ji Hubi finally said angrily: "Turn the horse's head and kill."
There are nearly a thousand soldiers behind, so it would be too cowardly to escape. Maybe it would destroy all his camp.
But after this order was issued, it became even more deadly.
Some people turned their horses to the point of order, while others continued to run forward. Before they reached the open valley, the formation became even more chaotic after a command was given.
So the area at the mountain pass became a slaughterhouse again.
Wang Zangbu was inexplicably first, but then he did not persuade him to surrender and immediately ordered: "Get together."
The Western Xia army and horses gathered together.
When Li Sangou saw that the enemy cavalry behind was about to rush toward this side, he ordered to retreat. At this time, Hu Bi had only more than one hundred men. The damaged troops were not many, but most of them were elite cavalry.
Wang Zangbu stopped Hu Bi and asked, "Why did he lose?"
"There were ambushes in the mountains and forests ahead."
"How many ambushes are there?"
"In the forest, I can't see clearly, there are about six or seven hundred people, maybe more. They are all infantry, but they are in the forest, and war horses are difficult to enter, so..."
Wang Zangbu immediately said, "Diao Deyi, you will lead two hundred people to the son to wait here, and the rest will follow me to kill them."
You can't break three or four hundred soldiers for nothing. Besides, in the field, how can you have the right to go back?
He led nearly a thousand soldiers and horses to kill them again.
In less than half an hour, we arrived at the mountain road. However, under the command of Wang Ju, the Song army had built a simple fortification and formed a fence on the mountain road. Behind the fence was a stone wall that was half a person high.
Wang Zangbu held the horse and looked at it. If he had carefully prepared it, the fortification alone would have a headache. However, because of the short time, the fence was not solid. As for the stone wall, it was made of rocks, and then a little yellow mud was mixed, which was even more unstable. So he immediately said, "Run over."
Wang Ju looked at the enemy coldly.
The soldiers looked at the enemy and also looked at him.
I thought to myself, this is really the legendary ruthless master. I am not afraid at all when facing so many enemy soldiers.
Wang Ju's calm expression also spread to everyone, so the officers and soldiers watched the Xixia people sprint towards them silently without saying a word. Wang Ju's forehead looked at him, and he looked a little bit like an iron army.
The enemy was getting closer and closer, and when he approached fifty steps, he was preparing to take a bow and arrow. Wang Ju shouted: "Shoot."
With a command, the arrow in his hand flew out. An enemy soldier was about to shoot the arrow. The arrow quickly descended and hit his chest. The man screamed and fell off his horse. The bow in his hand was loosened, and the arrow shot into the air crookedly.
"Okay." Someone saw the injunction shouted, "This is the accuracy. Not to mention the archery field, the archery technique may not be counted. The real accuracy is the ability to shoot the enemy on the battlefield.
The arrows flew around, including the Xixia army, but more of them were from the Song army. However, the Song army occupied a high place behind the bunker, so there were not many casualties. However, dozens of people in the Xixia were shot to death.
"Three people in groups, take turns to shoot arrows." Wang Ju told the order again.
Under this order, although the density of arrow rain decreased, it was almost constant. In just a few dozen steps, it seemed like a natural barrier, and the people of Xixia could not approach it in their lives.
"Retreat." Wang Zangbu had no choice but to order the three armies to withdraw, then stared at the mountains and forests, shouting: "Infantrymen came out of the formation, divided into two parts, and entered from the forest."
Wang Ju looked at the performance of the Xixia people, chuckled, turned his head to look at the two battalions behind him and asked, "They entered the mountains and forests, but they couldn't ride horses, are you afraid?"
After fighting this, morale was also raised. The officers and soldiers of the two battalions replied in unison: "Don't be afraid."
"That's good."
Wang Ju also began to divide his troops.
A intensive firefight began in the mountains and forests.
Wang Zangbu said, "Chong."
After the Song Dynasty divided the troops, the defense power of the fortification was reduced, and he took the opportunity to launch a second charge.
Wang Ju shook the flag. When Li Sangou saw the flag, he led the foreign cavalry to kill him from behind and continued to shoot arrows and fight back.
The two armies continued to fight fiercely, but the balance gradually turned towards the Song army.
"It's time for us." Yao Yi heard the scout's report and looked at his subordinates. He didn't have many subordinates, but they were all cavalry. That is, the Fan Lost Army in Liyuan Fort, but because of the shortage of horses, he only brought more than 200 people.
It was enough. After hearing the scout's report, Yao Yi immediately led two hundred cavalry out from the back mountain.
There were also people from Xixia in front of Jier Village, but they were just a group of people who bumped into the arms. The cannon fodder troops of Xixia saw more than 200 cavalry suddenly attacking from the rear, and before they could fight, they started to run away together.
"Kill." Yao Yi continued to shout.
"Save it, there is something." The people in Jier Village cheered together.
Over the past two hours, their moods were ups and downs. They were first surprised, but as Li Sangou brought people to retreat, they were depressed again. However, Li Sangou came back and became ecstatic again, but after a while, Li Sangou took them to retreat, and everyone had to be depressed again.
"It seems that the court has really sent officers and soldiers to save us." A strong man said.
What he said was nonsense, and he made all the money. What else can he talk about true or false?
Another strongman said, "Get out."
There were more than a hundred young men in the village, some men and women had decent weapons. After hearing his shout, they shouted, "Get out."
Everyone rushed out of the village.
Yao Yi frowned and said to his personal soldiers: "You send orders to them, now you don't need them to do anything. When the enemy's large troops retreat and escape here, everyone will wear white towels to identify them. Then they will destroy them together."
The personal soldier sent an order.
At this moment, the prestige of the officers and soldiers was infinitely magnified. Moreover, it was an order under the inspection.
One by one, Ding Zhuang returned to the parcel unwillingly.
The Fan Luo Army continued to hunt down.
However, when he chased to the mountain pass, Yao Yi ordered: "Stop."
Not chasing.
This made dozens of men who ran into the arms and escape to Wang Zangbu by chance. One person reported: "General, it's not good. Another Song cavalry appeared behind him, and we were surrounded together."
The rear part was raided, not only the people of Yequzhai who were captured, but also the wealth they plundered, the weapons and food they brought.
At this time, Wang Zangbu knew that something was wrong, so he had to order: "Retreat."
Wang Ju stood behind the bunker. Not only was he commanding, but he was also fighting. He actually shot three enemies to death, almost making the generals around him feel ashamed. Seeing Wang Zangbu's order to retreat, he knew that Yao Shi had succeeded behind him, so he said, "Move the stone."
The injunction moved the stones and pushed down the fence.
Li Sangou waved his big knife and said, "Kill."
Hundreds of foreign cavalry killed them for the third time.
Even the rear was raided, and it was gradually lost. The people of Xixia did not have the intention to fight again. This was the defeat of the Xixia infantry, especially the Xixia infantry fighting in the mountains and forests, saw the main force running away and were entangled by Li Sangou, and they didn't know where to escape.
Wang Ju said: "Instruction Chen, you will continue to capture and kill these fled enemy soldiers with the Poche Army, and then clean up the battlefield. The remaining imperial guards will be killed with me."
He personally got on the war horse and took the remaining imprisoned soldiers to kill Li Sangou.
Wang Zangfu had to fight and escape. After finally escaping back to the valley, Yao Yi brought Fan Luo troops to kill him. Wang Zangfu had ambushed in front and pursuers behind, so he had to escape again. But Ding Zhuang from Jier Village also killed him. During this time, Yao Yi had already resettled the people of Yequ Village, let the women, children, young and old return to their village, and distributed weapons to Ding Zhuang. The two camps might not have strong combat power, but they were both victims, and they all rushed into Wang Zangfu's defeated army one by one.
The sun begins to go west and the battle at Jier Village ends.
This battle was very tragic, killing more than 900 Xixia soldiers. Unlike the battle in Wangjiazhai, this Xixia army was a combat force mainly composed of the powerful life-capturing army, nearly half of which were cavalry.
Then nearly 400 Xixia people were captured. Although Wang Zangbu escaped, there were less than 300 people who escaped. In fact, there were only more than 100 people who followed Wang Zangbu. All the rest escaped into the vast mountains and forests. Some escaped back, and some were caught one after another. The Song army also suffered two or three hundred casualties.
However, compared to this military achievements, this casualty is nothing.
And he also obtained more than 500 war horses, only a few dozen of them were too seriously injured to be war horses, but there were more than 400 horses that could continue to be war horses, and the military horses of the Song Dynasty also suffered losses, but once they entered and went out, they obtained at least more than 300 war horses.
The first victory in the war, the whole valley was filled with joy. (To be continued)
