Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 469 Tong Guan's Deployment

These soldiers are not strong in combat.

The battle is over, count the casualties.

Six of the heavy cavalry were killed and 20 wounded.

The light cavalry was the main force, killing more than 100 people and wounding more than 300.The difference in the armor's protection came out. The heavy armored cavalry has super protective ability, and it is difficult to kill a heavy armored cavalry with a dozen arrows.

The light cavalry is much worse. Although the important parts have strong protection ability, many parts of the body are exposed.

He successfully captured Haoshuichuan, wiped out more than [-] enemy troops, and captured more than [-] people.

Almost all the officers of the Xixia Army are gone.

Pang Wanchun asked: "Mr. Wu, what should we do?"

Wu Yong shook his fan, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, there are many Han people in the Xixia army, and there are also many people from small tribes. In the border areas, strength is the most important thing. It is useless to kill more. Let's subdue them."

The heavy cavalry drove them to the large colony. The more than [-] unarmed prisoners were like lambs under the guard of thousands of cavalry.

Wu Yong said: "Those who are willing to surrender to our Cangzhou Army stand to the east. From now on, you only need to work obediently to ensure your safety and food. Those who are not willing to surrender stand to the west."

Everyone has their own choice, and soon the captives of more than [-] people were separated.Two thousand five hundred people chose to surrender, and five hundred people chose not to surrender.

Wu Yong beckoned and sent over [-] steel knives. These were the steel knives captured by Xixia soldiers. The quality was not good, and some were just iron knives.

Wu Yong said to the soldiers who surrendered: "Go up and kill the enemies who are unwilling to surrender, and we will be our own people from now on."

These people hesitated a little, but more people went up with knives and slashed at these former comrades-in-arms.

With 500 people and [-] unarmed people, it didn't take a while, and it was all over.

Wu Yong shouted: "Line up one by one to check."

These people didn't know what to check, and they came to accept the check one by one with a knife.

All the knives that were not stained with blood were pulled out. There were more than 100 people in total.

"Chopped."

The heavy cavalry dispatched and crushed directly.

The remaining [-] or so people were all convinced, and what the borderlands wanted was this kind of ruthlessness.

Change clothes one by one, issue hang tags, and press fingerprints.

These two thousand and 400 people are the engineering soldiers of the Cangzhou Army, and they are still second-class soldiers.

Wu Yong didn't expect them to fight wars either, they would always be able to work.

Each person had a shovel, and they dug pits outside the city, buried pillars, and pulled barbed wire.

Dig big pits and bury the enemies who died in battle.

I am still very distressed about the loss. This is a rare fierce battle in the light cavalry battalion. More than 100 people were killed and more than 200 people were injured.

The medical battalion found a separate camp in the city, and all the wounded soldiers were connected to the wounded for treatment.

With sufficient medicinal materials and proper care, there is still great hope for these wounded soldiers to recover.

It took two days to count the accountants, treasury managers, documents, etc. in the army before the seizures were counted clearly.

There are 30 copper coins, 21 pieces of gold and silver jewelry, and more than 3000 taels of silver.More than 1000 taels of gold.In addition, there are a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings, vases and so on.

These were all collected from rich families when the Xixia soldiers attacked Caogu, and no matter which one they were, they were all bloody.

There are also [-] spear heads in stock, [-] simple knives, [-] bows and arrows, and [-] feathered arrows.

There are four large warehouses for grain and grass, and they are not measured one by one. According to the account books of the Xixia people, it is almost exactly 500 million catties.

Wu Yong and the generals were all happy.

Tactics have also been adjusted accordingly.

Lin Chong and Qin Ming led heavy armored cavalry to station five miles east of the city.This is the traditional type of camp, using wooden fences, arranging to reject horses, etc. to build a solid camp.

Three days later, Chai Lin led his troops to Haoshuichuan and joined the army.

Chai Lin is very satisfied with Wu Yong's arrangement.

"Mr. Wu is a great talent. This arrangement avoids the risk of being trapped in an isolated city, and can also play the role of heavy cavalry."

Wu Yong is quite modest: "It's all because of my brother's education."

Dian Zhengnan curled his lips: "The skill of flattering horses is also good."

Wu Yong didn't take it seriously, Zhengnan was just like that.

Tongguan Marshal's Mansion in Weizhou Prefecture.

Today, the three-way gathering of generals and drums sounded, and dozens of generals arrived.

Tong Guan sat majestically on the handsome chair and looked at the generals.

"This commander wants to tell you a big thing. The Cangzhou Army broke through Haoshuichuan three days ago and obtained all the food and grass in Xixia's inventory. Now Ye Libo has sent back [-] iron kites and [-] elite eagle cavalry .”

Tong Guan's words were like thunder.

Haoshuichuan has been the main point of contention between Da Song and Xixia for many years. It can be said that whoever controls Haoshuichuan will have the initiative in the battle.

This time Haoshuichuan was captured, in fact Xixia had already lost.Nolibodo was just holding on.

"This, how is this possible? They only have less than 2 horses. Didn't they send [-] cavalry to intercept them a few days ago? Could it be that Li Meng's [-] light cavalry is just paper." Do not believe.

Tong Guan said: "I don't believe it either. But the information sent by Tanma is very clear. More than half of Li Meng's 8000 troops were killed or injured, and he returned to Huayin County to recuperate."

Veteran Zhong Shidao stood up and said, "Commander, this is a god-given opportunity. Let's send troops immediately to recover Huayin County. Li Meng's remnant soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they will definitely not be able to stop our fierce attack."

Tong Guan hesitated, and said: "Everyone will not forget the emperor's secret edict."

All the generals present here know what the emperor's secret edict said, and asked the Western Army to find a way to weaken the Cangzhou Army at an appropriate time.

Master Zhong said: "The Cangzhou army is fighting bloody battles in front. Instead of fighting the enemy, we attack our own Bao Ze. I am the first to quit. We soldiers must have some dignity."

The other generals said one after another: "This matter has happened to the officials. The Cangzhou army rushed here, brought their own dry food, and did not cause us any trouble at all. Successive victories, now victory is in sight, we can stab our own people in the waist Knife?"

Tong Guan's reputation is very famous in the northwest, he has a high prestige in the army, and he is usually very loyal.

After pondering for a while, Tong Guan said: "Now that the iron kite and the eagle rider have left, we don't have to worry about it. Now the commander will make arrangements. We will divide our troops into two groups, one way to recover the counties, and the other way to go straight to the main force of the Xixia Army The enemy must be driven out in the shortest possible time, and the spring plowing must not be delayed."

"promise."

Tong Guan is a well-known veteran, and he is far better than a melon egg like Chai Lin when it comes to deploying troops.

As soon as the two armies came out, the Xixia soldiers couldn't stay still.

Ye Liboduo led more than [-] Xixia main forces to retreat due west, intending to go out of the border and return to Xixia.

Besides, Xixia's [-] elites, iron kites and eagle cavalry are actually an army.The iron kite is the heavy armored cavalry, and the eagle cavalry is the auxiliary soldier.When the iron kite is killed in battle, it can immediately fill the gap.
