The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

() Wang Chao said softly: "Commander Di, I would like to say something from the humble position, if you fight hard, you will definitely lose. Once you lose, you will be the general of the defeated army. The day of ruin and ruin, but no one said that you insist on not using tricks. It is a heroic act." , People will only say that you are a fool and deserve to lose."

Di Qing took a few breaths and said: "That's the truth, but they are unarmed people, just like civilians, and... and Master Su promised, how can they do it."

As if Su Jin hadn't heard of it, he just stared at the soldiers of the Xia army who were slowly entering the front of the fortification [-] steps, and clearly said two words: "Let the arrow!"

Arrows are like flying locusts, the distance of thirty steps is the best range for bows and arrows, without even aiming, the overwhelming rain of arrows enveloped two hundred soldiers of the Xia army.

The Xixia soldiers who were pregnant with ghosts never thought that the Song army who was full of "the way of benevolence and forgiveness" would be so shameless. It was a dream to avoid the dense arrow rain at such a short distance. There was a loud cry, and in the blink of an eye, fifty or sixty Xixia soldiers became sea urchin balls covered with arrows.

After the first round of arrow rain, the Xixia soldiers who understood and survived hurriedly twisted their buttocks and ran away, but how could their two legs outrun the flying feathers? After the baptism, there was no longer a living person standing on the ground, but a few experienced soldiers lay down on the ground from the very beginning, desperately digging into the dead body, and they survived.

As soon as Song Jun's shooting stopped, these people did not dare to get up, and crawled back on the ground, like a few panicked big lizards.

Su Jin shook his head and said, "It's taken."

Ma Han and Zhao Hu flew out, and the piles of corpses did not hinder their movement at all. In the blink of an eye, they rushed out for more than ten steps; several Xixia soldiers got up and ran, but unfortunately they stumbled and ran out for more than ten steps. Bu Yuan was caught up, Ma Han and Zhao Hu stretched out his hands like grabbing chickens, picked up the two of them, and ran back. The Xia Army cavalry on the opposite side clamored to chase, but as soon as they entered the Song Army's range, locusts rained down like rain , forcing them to turn back quickly.

Li Ningming almost spewed out a mouthful of old blood. Song Jun was so shameless and despicable that he pretended to agree to his request and took the opportunity to make trouble; what was even more stupid was that he actually sent 200 people to be used as arrow targets, so stupid to grandma's house Now, once this matter is passed back and known to the people of Xia, it will become a lifelong shame.

Yeli Xianzong and Wu Zangming couldn't believe their eyes. They had experienced dozens of battles, and it was common for them to fight the Song army. When did they see such a shameless Song soldier?In previous wars, Song soldiers' offense and defense were all traceable, unless they did not fight, once the two sides in the war fought with real knives and guns, they rarely used tactics, let alone such self-destructive forewords. practice.

Xia Jun's cavalry scolded, and everyone's popular eyes were blood red. Of course, they only thought that the other party was shameless, and automatically ignored that these 200 people also went there with an unruly heart.

Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he killed two hundred freshmen without hurting a single person. The opponent's odds of winning became smaller, and his odds of winning increased; Su Jin also wanted to fight hard with integrity. Fight hard, fight a hearty battle of annihilation, but the facts are in front of you. Since the design of this trick to lure the enemy, it is doomed that this battle cannot be an honest fight.

What's more, the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties. These soldiers are only responsible for escorting food, and their equipment is not very sophisticated. The sharp weapon against cavalry is bows and arrows. However, there are no bows and arrows in the escort supplies this time. Equipped with five hundred bows and arrows, there is no need to fight this battle at all; and after several rounds of shooting, there are not many arrows left, and Su Jinchou is worried to death.

The four captured prisoners quickly confessed their intentions, and Di Qing on one side was ashamed. Sure enough, the Xixia army also came here with ghosts in mind.

Di Qing could afford to let it go, and after realizing her mistake, she immediately apologized to Su Jin and asked to take back what she just said.

Su Jin said with a smile: "Commander Di, why should you care about it? The leader of the Xi thief is a vicious person. From the very beginning when he set up an ambush on the official road outside Yingzui Cliff, it can be concluded that this person is not a good person. Of course I want to grow up." There is nothing wrong with Commander Di's words, it's just that he misunderstood the target; if you do a gentleman's business with a gentleman, you will be an even more villainous person than him if you are with a villain, and an upright battle is only suitable for an upright opponent."

Di Qing nodded and said yes, he had been fighting for several years, and he almost fell here today. In his heart, he swung a knife and chopped off the heads of the four captives.

Su Jin said: "Commander Di, I don't know when Master Fan's reinforcements will arrive. I'm afraid an hour has passed."

Di Qing frowned and said, "That's right, we'll be there in one hour as promised, but Fan Gong hasn't arrived yet for some reason."

Su Jin turned his head and asked, "How many bows and arrows are left?"

Wang Chao did some calculations and said: "There are still four hundred bows, and only two or three arrows per person."

Su Jin frowned, worried in his heart. Unless the enemy retreated, the defense line of the two charges would collapse. Although he could still retreat to the mountain road, the casualties would be heavy. Although the narrow mountain road can hinder the enemy's charge, it also hinders the team The bottleneck of retreat.

How could Li Ningming retreat? Today, he fell into this muddy pit and couldn't get up. After going back, he couldn't see anyone. The soldiers of Xixia were also drawn out by the shamelessness of the Song army. Before Li Ningming ordered, they demanded to attack again Ping Song Army.

On the contrary, Li Ningming calmed down. He finally understood that his opponent was a guy who didn't play according to the rules. He tripped a horse rope, a kerosene truck, and even booby-trapped his body collection team. All signs showed that this person was definitely not Yi Yi. , Conventional means against the enemy, will inevitably suffer another big loss.

Li Ningming is also a smart person. Among the princes, he has read the most books and has the most profound knowledge. Of course, an outstanding person must have some arrogance in his bones. Li Ningming was aroused by Su Jin. The crowd was so excited that he had the idea of ​​fighting with the general he didn't know.

In the first round, the Song Army was considered victorious, but he hadn't been completely defeated. He still held [-] sturdy cavalry in his hands. According to common sense, [-] Daxia cavalry could defeat the enemy several times. What's more, the teams on the opposite side seem to have only a thousand people at most.

"You will attack my cavalry formation with a kerosene truck, and my highness will use the iron hoof formation to destroy your defense line and trample you into meat paste." Li Ningming thought with a sneer, and immediately put it into practice.

Five hundred war horses lined up in several rows, and there was no one at once. Xixia soldiers each held a dagger and stood behind their beloved horses, waiting for orders. Well, besides people, there are only horses around, and horses can only be used as sharp weapons for charging. Even if people become infantry, they are still people, and they are still capable of fighting.

As for the loss of so many troops, even if the enemy army is wiped out and supplies are robbed, whether this business is worth doing is no longer within the scope of Li Ningming's consideration. What he wants is victory, even if it is a miserable victory. good.

Xia Jun's actions made Su Jin aware of the seriousness of the problem. The opponent's stance was naturally to use the crazy horse to lead the battle. Su Jin has long practiced the power of horses trampling and charging. At that time, hundreds of Dragon and Tiger Gate disciples were crushed by him with fifty war horses, and finally gave up resistance and were captured without a fight; that was only the power of fifty horses, but there were hundreds of war horses densely packed in front of them. The potential is enough to destroy the precarious fortification in front of you.

Since no one is riding, the piles of corpses in front of them can't hinder their advancing iron hooves, and the Xixia army doesn't need to be wary, just drive the crazy horses into their camp wave after wave, let alone the corpses on the ground And sundries, even an iron gate will be washed away.

what to do?Su Jin was using his brain quickly, his brain was boiling hot, rolling like boiling water, there was no way to avoid it, there was no way to retreat, if there was no good way to deal with it, destruction would be in sight, there were soybean-sized beads of sweat on Su Jin's forehead It rolled down and jumped out in a hurry.

On the opposite side, Li Ningming had already made all the arrangements. After the five hundred horses charged, five hundred infantrymen followed.The infantry is less restricted by the terrain than the cavalry. After being trampled by the horses, [-] cavalry who turned into infantry are enough to clean up the remnants of the enemy, and then [-] cavalry follow up. everything.After that, they immediately picked up gold, silver and valuables to loot. As for food, grass, armor, tents, weapons, etc., they originally planned to take them away, but now I am afraid they can only be burned.

All in all, as long as the supplies of the Song Army are destroyed, even if you can't get them yourself, it is still a victory; Li Ningming has already begun to plan in his mind how to exaggerate the battle when he goes back, how to shock the whole country, how to make his younger brother Li Ninglin Brother's brilliance is concealed under his military exploits.
