Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 992
"No matter what, we must defend the Xiping Mansion and let the Gulihei army go south to counterattack the Southern Dynasty." Brother Cha couldn't sit still, and if the fight continued like this, Daxia would definitely be divided and fell into a situation where they could not support each other. Make your own demands.

It is difficult for Li Renxiao to come up with a proposition. The main force of the left wing of the Xia army hid in the eastern part of Yanzhou to fight, and even the most combative troops on the right wing went to fight in Yanzhou. Pinned down in Xiliang.

According to the news that came from Hexi one after another, even Renduoquan City was also occupied. It was surrounded by mountains on three sides and had only one gate. Crossing the Qilian Mountain Passage to provide close support to Liangzhou does not need to go west from Lanzhou.

Except for the tens of thousands of soldiers around Xingqing, looking at the whole country, they were in an embarrassing situation with no soldiers to adjust.

"Your Majesty, if the Southern Dynasties want to gain a firm foothold in Xiping, they are likely to counterattack Yanzhou." Brother Cha made another judgment, which was not accurate but was quite similar.

"They don't have the ability to do this yet. There are not many horse troops in this army, so they can't pose a threat to Yanzhou." Ren Dejing raised objections. The Song army used a considerable number of horse troops on the road to transport supplies, but the main force did not. Showing the strength of the horse army made him feel that it was nothing to worry about. It was just a joke to rely on a small number of horse troops and infantry to attack.

"Let Gu Lihei stop resting, and go south quickly to support, and Lao Renqing's family should share their worries, quickly move south to meet the battle, and transfer the burden of [-] to the regular soldiers." Li Renxiao didn't want to think too far, Xiping Mansion had a loss, what to say It's all useless.

Brother Cha nodded, and did not refute Li Renxiao. The Song army arrived at Xiping Mansion, and it was reasonable for the black-boned horse army to go south.

In fact, when the soldiers of the Song Dynasty arrived at Xiping Mansion, that is to say, one army had advanced more than [-] miles into the mansion, and other troops were still stationed outside.Fighting a war is not about fighting as you say, besieging a city as soon as you see it. If you don’t have a five-fold advantage in manpower, you don’t want to attack a big city.

Besides, most of the so-called important outskirts of Xiping Mansion have not been captured. If you concentrate your entire army on the city and storm it, you will be looking for death.The big cities encountered in the battles have always been to gradually clear the outer strongholds, and slowly isolate the main targets before attacking. The Song Army is an expert in city attack and defense, so naturally they will not make low-level mistakes, let alone the ambition.

More than [-] miles to the east of Yaode City, which is already considered the western boundary of Yanzhou, at the edge of the vast sea, a horse team of thousands of people galloped past, and a team of several hundred people was divided to attack the town. The other horse troops fanned out, form a siege situation.

It was a messy small town in the west of Yanzhou. Due to the war in the east, the arrival of some fleeing residents made the town even more chaotic.Today is the trading day of the market, and the shepherds in the desert gather one after another. All the daily necessities, rice, oil and salt they need must be purchased from the town.

The only street in the town was full of potholes and bustling crowds, shouting and bargaining, and shouting and cursing from time to time. It was already spring, and the weather was still cold.

Just as the people were busy, the horse army of thousands of people completed the siege of the town, and a few hundred horses separated slowly entered the town.

This army did not have a flag with a special country name, nor did it wear clothes that showed Xia Jun. Under the surprised eyes of the people, it slowly arrived on the streets of the town.

Before the people could react, hundreds of cavalry suddenly violently killed people, and then there was a burst of random killings. Only then did people realize that it was not good, and they all shouted and ran for their lives.

The town, which was bustling with people just now, suddenly fell into a bloody storm. Hundreds of cavalrymen killed and slashed anyone they saw, and no one was spared as long as they were touched by their weapons.

Chen Gao, Suo Shen, and Yang Huiping's eyes were red, and they rushed to the front of the team with fierce faces. They killed no one knows how many people, and now the only idea is to kill them all.

Although they didn't want to kill the living people wantonly, they knew that it was necessary. Every tribe they passed, every shepherd they met, they had to kill them all, even children.

Soon, the whole town was covered with blood and corpses. When the herdsmen who survived by chance fled in shock, they thought they could escape, but they never thought that there were still fierce horse troops outside, and what awaited them were cold arrows.

Women and children are not left behind, and they are extremely cruel and unkind.

When the whole town fell into the silence after the killing, the main force of this team embarked on the journey again, stirring up the sky and dust and leaving. The hundreds of people who entered the town stayed behind and came to a place next to the town to rest by Koizumi's eyes.

A small number of people dispersed their vigilance, and the rest got off their horses and rushed to the spring, drinking water silently, washing themselves and their horses from the wind and dust, and some people took out their dry food and began to chew on the water.

Chen Gao, Suo Shen, and Yang Huiping came to a general with a dusty face and a leather armor. They didn't speak, but waited quietly.

The general turned around, looked at the three of them sharply, and treated them in the same way.If Feng Yuan was here, he would definitely recognize that this person was Qiu Yun.

With an icy face, eyes emitting endless murderous intent, and beards all over his face, full of tiredness, this is Qiu Yun at this time.

He was sent to the Western Army to join the Guangrui Army, and served as the deputy commander of the Ma Junying. He was only responsible for some miscellaneous tasks and did not actually take charge. If he hadn't served in the Western Army, he probably wouldn't be able to get along.

As the Song army was preparing to attack Yanzhou secretly, Zhang Sheng, who joined the army, organized criminal officials and organized a prison horse barracks, so he came into view.

After a brief contact, he decided to participate in this desperate counterattack and became the battalion commander of this army, controlling 400 prisoners of various colors.Surprisingly, Chen Gao also came to the Western Army and was trained into this army.

It turned out that Chen Gao, Suo Shen, and Yang Huiping did not die, but were dispatched to the front line, their status was reduced to utility, and even the killing stick was held high, falling gently without even a drop of blood.

The way they were dealt with was open, and Wang Xiu also showed a very strong attitude. He openly stated to Zhang Tonggu that since he did not kill the other party, it was an attempted murder and they should not be beheaded immediately, but sent to the frontier army to die.

Zhang Tonggu was furious, but there was nothing he could do about it. Facing Wang Xiu's strong sophistry, there was nothing he could do.

Scholars praised the results of the punishment. There was no other reason. Wang Xiu punished the young men appropriately and beneficially, that is, to preserve the face of the young people, and severely suppress the arrogance of the generals, so as to scare the chickens and monkeys.

It's not that the literati are not angry, but they are fighting for face. They also don't like the generals. If it were normal, they would have killed three red guys. They don't care about your handsome nephew, Wang Xianggong's disciples.
