The struggle of the reborn prince

Chapter 160 IX Interception

I wish you all a happy double festival and a beautiful moon! ! !

Liang Yi, commander of the Xia Army's Baotai Army, took the northern route. He detoured to Tumaochuan as planned to cut off the Song Army's retreat. Quick, he ran away as soon as he heard the sound of horseshoes, leaving him busy.Because I was traveling lightly, the materials I carried were limited. I hoped to get some oil and water from the Song Army, but the Song Army not only ran fast, but also packed up and packed the house. The house is so clean that everything is like using a broom After scanning it carefully, not to mention human fur, not even a rabbit fur.

After joining forces, the Baotai army commander stayed on the left wing, but here is close to the desert, and others can replenish two bags by plundering everywhere, but the rabbits on their side are unwilling to shit, and the weakness of lack of supplies is exposed at once. He could allocate some food and grass to him, but later he refused to give it any more. Liang Yi could only brazenly go around begging for it, but now everyone is short of food, and no one wants to borrow more. Dare to stay away from the camp, and even horses eating grass have become a big problem. For this reason, soldiers of several military divisions have clashed many times.But it's easy to understand when you think about it, the horse and the camel belong to the family, and no one will accompany them when they die, so can they not risk their lives?

Liang Yi saw that his army was already in trouble, so he could only lead his army to a place far away from the camp to find food, pick some wild vegetables, and kill a wild animal to fill his stomach. As for the evil gods, no matter how terrible they are, they are not as terrible as starving, and now they don't care much !

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Liang Yi had to make a gesture of sharing weal and woe with everyone, and he himself led a team of soldiers to hunt.His luck was not bad, he met a group of yellow sheep, he led his soldiers to chase them for more than 20 miles, and the results were quite fruitful, shooting and killing hundreds of yellow sheep, everyone was very happy. . .

The sun was already in the west, and a piece of camel thorn grew on the roadside in the wasteland. War horses would not eat this thing at all, and camels barely swallowed it. An unknown bird was looking for food in it, catching the small insects that parasitized it. Suddenly, it found a pair of eyes staring at itself in the bushes, "Run!" 'The little bird couldn't help but let out a scream and flew away with its wings fluttering.

"The team of cavalry who passed by in the morning wondered if there was a general or something in it?" Ba Zhouquanwu asked quietly, wearing a khaki-colored combat uniform of the same color as the desert, changing his body posture with subtle movements. Sand piles around.

"Looks like there is one, that military officer in iron armor, brocade clothes, and a black lacquer crown on his head, at least he is a commanding officer. I have seen Yeli Burch's father wear it before!" Sha Dui put down the binoculars in his hand and said, Sha Dui Dui is the eldest son of Quru's family, and Boqi is the second son of Yeli's family, but Shadui is now a servant of the prince's family. Although Biqi is older than the prince, he is his nephew.Shadui also thought that he was the prince's man, so he couldn't embarrass the prince. Once he worked hard to join the special forces, although Birch became a captain, he was an ordinary low-level officer among the generals, and it was difficult to see the prince.He once heard his comrades in the same team tell him quietly that the prince is very fond of him. In the words of the prince, "Sandui is a good boy, he can be of great use", which makes Shadui work harder.

"Hey, there is no difference between Xia people and Han people now, and you can still tell a thing or two because you have been in Xia Guo for a long time!" Although everyone knew that Shadui was the prince's confidant, Shadui was kind and sincere. , keep a low profile, and never mention the special relationship with the prince in front of everyone, so even a person from a small tribe like Quanwu, who comes from a small tribe and has a low status, can become friends with him.

"Well, my father said that the current Xia people are no longer the former Dangqiang men. Without the martial arts and passion of the past, they have to learn from the Han people in everything, and they are about to lose everything from their ancestors!" Shadui frowned. Mei said that the difference between the Han people and the Dangxiang people is becoming less and less, so that it is difficult to distinguish them from the clothes. Although they have also talked about it in class, it is still difficult to distinguish clearly at a glance.

With the deepening of feudalization, Xixia, which was in a slave society, gradually evolved into a semi-feudal and semi-slave society. Like the Song Dynasty, the phenomenon of emphasizing culture over military affairs became more and more serious.During the time of benevolence and filial piety, the school was greatly promoted, and scholars were selected by literature, and the country's military strength was gradually weakening.Before the founding of the Xixia state, the customs of the Xixia people varied according to the ethnic groups within the territory.Due to changes in production activities and lifestyles, the inherent customs and habits of the party members who have lived together with the Han people for a long time have gradually changed.

The costumes of the party members of the main ethnic group in Xixia, except for the nomadic producers, basically changed the habit of "clothing fur" and wore the same cloth or silk as the local Han people.When Emperor Jingzong Li Yuanhao founded the country, he stipulated the attire of civil and military officials: "Cultural resources include Futou, boots, purple clothes, and scarlet clothes; military posts are crowned with gold posts with cloud crowns, silver posts with golden crowns, black lacquer crowns, and purple clothes. He wears a gold-coated silver girdle, hangs a bow, wears a knotted awl, a short knife, a bow and arrow bag, a horse riding a salamander leather saddle, hangs a red tassel, and plays a cymbal brush. The common people are green and green, so as not to distinguish between the noble and the humble."Until the first year of Xia Xiandao, in order to maintain the old customs of the ancestors of the party, Li Yuanhao issued a "baldness order" in China. Baldness means shaving the top of the head, wearing heavy rings in the ears.He took the lead in balding himself, and then made all the people in the country bald. There was a time limit of three days, and those who disobeyed would be executed. This was considered to be the last position of his own ethnic customs, and he was not completely assimilated.

Shadui picked up the binoculars to search the surrounding targets again. According to the prince's instructions, their special forces team, on the one hand, found out the deployment situation of the Xia army, the numbers of each unit, and sniped valuable targets; Intercept and kill the scouts of the Xia army heading towards the desert area to prevent the whereabouts of Zhao Ren's army and horses from being leaked.Their team has been lurking here since last night, but after waiting for a long time, a team of Xia troops passed by. From the banners, they judged that it was the troops of the Baotai Army Division, but they didn't know why they came to the desert. Could it be They discovered the intention of the Zhongyong Army, and went to surround Zhao Rendu to control that group of people?

"No attention at all, the captain sent a message that there are enemy troops coming, about 300 people!" Shadui suddenly saw the signal from the captain Shang Hu who was lying in ambush on the sand hill two hundred steps away from them through the camera.

"Five hundred people went, and three hundred people came back. Where did the rest of them go? Did they get exposed, and the enemy turned around from behind?" Quan Wu frowned and thought.

"The captain informed that there are about 100 members of the Xia army, and the rest are our civilians. He ordered us to cooperate with other teams to rescue, wipe out this enemy army, and find out the whereabouts of the rest of the Xia army!" Shadui didn't know what Quanwu was thinking. The order sent by the captain with semaphore was conveyed to Quan Wu.

"We have 20 people, and the enemy army has [-] people. Killing a chicken with a bull's knife!" Quan Wu loaded the bullet, picked up a pinch of fine sand and slowly sprinkled it on the ground, measured the wind direction and speed, and then found a comfortable position. , Aim the muzzle of the sniper rifle at the direction the enemy is coming to measure the distance.The gun in Quan Wu's hands is more than a foot longer than the Lianzhu guns in other people's hands. It has a longer range and a more stable ballistic trajectory. It just doesn't have a scope and bracket, so it can't be called a real sniper gun. Only those with the best marksmanship are eligible to be equipped and used as snipers.

Liang Yi was very happy today, chasing yellow sheep and chasing out a fortune, found a small tribe hiding in the desert, surrounded them, robbed more than 1000 sheep, and found four to five hundred shi of grain, He also captured a hundred tribesmen, which was the largest amount of foreign money he had obtained since he sent troops. With these things, he could persist for another two days.Liang Yi was happy to lead a team of soldiers to escort the captured people to the front, and the rest of them were carrying food and driving the flock, but they walked fast, and gradually opened the distance from the follow-up troops.

"This is exactly the Xia army that left this morning. They are going to fight Caogu!" Seeing Liang Yi walking in front wearing a black lacquer crown, Shadui immediately determined the identity of the Xia army of the second team, and saw the staggering behind. He was angry with the walkers who were following him. These people were the people of Hezhou, maybe they were his own people, "The target appeared, the wind speed was level [-], and the distance was [-] steps. Prepare to shoot!"

'Bang, bang' Wu Wu had just finished reporting the parameters and was ready to shoot. Another group hidden near him fired first.Faced with such a situation where fewer people deal with more people, they are educated not to engage in head-on confrontation with the enemy, but to use their superiority in weapons to bully others.

Liang Yi's soldiers reacted very quickly. Surprised, they knew what they were doing. They immediately drew their swords and bows, and a few others took off their shields and surrounded the leader, searching vigilantly. The surrounding situation, but after the gunshots, the surroundings fell into dead silence again, except for the sound of the wind and the yellow sand everywhere, no living things could be seen.

But after a while, the gunfire broke the silence again. After almost every explosion, one of Xia's soldiers would fall from his horse. Liang Yi's personal soldiers also quickly found Song Jun's figure from the violent smoke and dust, knowing that he was ambushed. Immediately divided into two teams, one team launched an attack, trying to expel the assassin, and the other team protected Liang Yi to break out and escape from the dangerous place.

'Bang' Quan Wu, who had been preparing for a long time, fired a shot. His target was Liang Yi. The effect of killing a general is much better than killing a bunch of dried shrimps. He can aim at the fleeting target while surrounded by heavy guards. But it was not an easy task. Seeing that they were about to run away, Quan Wu could only shoot at Liang Yi's horse's head, breaking his leg first, and see how he escaped!

Suddenly the horse stumbled, and Liang Yi fell headlong from the horse. He was in his prime and had been fighting on horseback for a long time. In his panic, he instinctively rolled over and stood up. A soldier immediately gave up his horse to him. , Liang Yifei immediately pulled out a knife from his body, he was very angry, it was the first time he fell so embarrassingly, but he hadn't seen his opponent yet.But he soon lost his anger, and panic appeared on his face. The bodyguards around him kept falling off their horses, decreasing layer by layer, and the bodyguards who expelled the assassins were even worse. Although they could see The enemy, the bow and arrow in his hand, couldn't shoot the enemy, the distance was too far, so he could only gallop his horse and try to rush into the range, but he returned in vain amidst the explosion. . .

When the headless body of Liang Yi, the commander of the Baotai Army, was carried into Cha Ge's big tent in the evening, the whole army was shocked. One hundred thousand troops marched into the hinterland of the enemy's territory. As if it wasn't over yet, Song Jun's harassment of them intensified.
