Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 473 Great Monk Luda

The battle didn't last long, it took less than half an hour from the start to the enemy's retreat.

But it was extremely tragic.

The medical soldiers of each battalion and the 700 female medical soldiers were all dispatched. The Cangzhou Army suffered at least [-] casualties. This was the battle with the largest casualties.

The cleaning of the battlefield didn't end until noon. The light cavalry and heavy cavalry came back, and even the special forces that attacked the enemy's camp came back. After several days of hiding, everyone was exhausted, and no one was hard-pressed.

Military documents and medical soldiers sent statistics.

The pro-barracks killed eight people and injured 30 people.These were all shot by the bow and arrow of the iron kite. It is still very scary to cause so many casualties in just one breath.

The heavy cavalry killed 60 and wounded 200.The light cavalry battalion killed 200 people and wounded 400 people.

Chai Lin clutched his chest in distress. These good brothers from Cangzhou will forever be buried in the northwest.

Although a total of 300 people have not been killed in battle, it is enough to damage the combat power of the Cangzhou Army.

The casualties were mainly caused by Xixia eagle light cavalry. Although they were called light cavalry, they fought extremely ruthlessly.

Moreover, Yingying Qingqi's riding and shooting skills were exceptional, so the light cavalry led by Pang Wanchun suffered heavy casualties.

According to statistics, this battle wiped out 900 iron kite heavy cavalry and 500 eagle light cavalry.All were wiped out, and no one was captured.

More than 400 sets of cold wrought iron armor were neatly arranged together and put into Haoshuichuan City.

Originally there were more than 500 sets, but due to the burning of the fire oil, they were burnt beyond recognition and were worthless. They could only be regarded as scrap iron and were piled up elsewhere.

Qin Ming took a set of armor, looked at the densely packed arrow pits on it, and couldn't help feeling: "It's often heard that people in Xixia have armor inherited from their families, and it seems to be true. This set of armor hit at least dozens of arrows. participated in many battles."

Guo Sheng next to him said: "It is said that this set of heavy armor can be exchanged for three camels in Xixia."

Lin Chong said: "That's more than that. I heard from my brother that Helan Mountain is the place where camels are produced. There are tens of thousands of camels, which is not a rare thing. Xixia used the power of the whole country to get these three thousand iron kites. Let us go together Two-thirds of the war was wiped out."

Qin Ming pointed to the iron harriers that had been burned to ashes on the ground, and said, "The fighting power of the light cavalry is so strong. They killed more than [-] iron harriers with just a few bottles and cans."

Lin Chong said: "If it weren't for the iron kite's strong fighting power, such a small number of soldiers would not be enough to fight Pang Wanchun. Brother Pang's arrows made him very powerful."

The weapons, armors, gold and silver of the Xixia people were fine and soft, and everything that was useful was collected. As for the Xixia cavalrymen who died in battle, they will be dragged to the mountains to be buried tomorrow. Today is no time. They are exhausted from fighting and cleaning the battlefield.It is also necessary to prevent the Xixia people from sneaking attacks.

The special operations team also wiped out hundreds of soldiers guarding the camp in the Xixia People's Camp, and there is no time to take care of it now.

In the evening, the melodious Qiang flute sounded on the city wall, and the bald monk Lu Zhishen could play the flute.

Chai Lin asked: "Brother Lu Da, I didn't expect you to have this skill. The flute is pretty good."

"The Sa family joined the army when they were teens, and fought more than a dozen battles with Xixia, big and small. This battle can be regarded as a great victory. When the Sa family was cleaning the battlefield, they saw this flute and remembered that it had come before, so they sat Here is blowing. Is there something wrong with my brother looking for me?"

"There is something wrong, the military master Gongsun is not here. Go over and read a scripture for the brothers who died in battle."

Lu Da said: "This monk from the Sa family drinks alcohol, eats meat, and marries a wife. How can he be considered a monk?"

"Brother Lu Da, you have a compassionate heart and care for all people. When you were in Cangzhou, you even donated your military salary to the villagers. Where can you find such a good person?"

"Okay, when my brother wants a monk, the Sa family is a monk, and when my brother wants a warrior, the Sa family is a warrior."

Lu Da went back to his room and took off his battle armor, and changed into a monk's robe from Mount Wutai, with a big bead around his neck, which was worn to the pulp.

When the Cangzhou Army was fighting against the Iron Harrier, the main force led by Tong Guan was also dealing with Yeli Boduo.

Ye Libo was very cunning, and rarely collided with the main force, because although he claimed to have an army of [-], but because the iron kites were sent out, the light cavalry was also sent out, almost all of them were infantry.

All the way just retreat slowly.

Tong Guan has an advantage in terms of military strength, with an army of nearly 12 and more than [-] cavalry. He has a small-scale battle with the Xixia Army every now and then, but the big battle has been useless.

Expulsion, this is the main idea of ​​​​the generals of the Western Army.

Why do you have this idea, because this idea is very simple, if there is no mouse, what do you want a cat for?
Xixia is gone, so what do you want the Western Army to do?

So it was sporadic battles, annihilating thousands of Xixia troops, and then allowing the Xixia troops to retreat slowly.

The Xixia soldiers had all retreated to the national border, and Tong Guan received a report from the explorer.

"Commander, the Cangzhou Army has defeated Ye Lixiong's main force. There are only more than a thousand iron kites, and more than 2000 light cavalry have fled. The rest have stayed in Haoshuichuan."

"What, you actually defeated the iron kite." Tong Guan said in surprise.

The iron kite, that was the nightmare of countless western troops, how many people died under the iron kite.

"Yeah, they hit with firearms, and then the cavalry charged. Oh, yes, that's what's in their firearms."

The work of scouting the horse was done very meticulously, and he actually took out a handful of steel balls and handed them to the soldiers.

The soldiers were handed over to Tong Guan.

Tong Guan looked at the soybean-sized iron bead, and really couldn't figure out how it could be used in combat.

"Where's Toshio Nori?"

"Lead the remnants and flee to Xingqing Mansion."

A general asked, "How about the Cangzhou army's casualties?"

"Their scouting horses are very unfriendly, and we are not allowed to approach. From a distance, I saw that they were going to the battlefield. There should be a lot of casualties, and they can't stick to it now."

Tong Guan touched the few beards, which were the last dignity of a man.

"The Cangzhou army suffered a lot of casualties. If their casualties were small, they would definitely pursue them. Our mission has been completed. We will attack once tomorrow to completely knock out the Xixia army."

"Yes."

The next day, Tong Guan wanted to fight the Xixia soldiers, but he found that Ye Libo still retreated, covering each other and went straight back to the country.

The Western Army made a tentative charge, but was shot back by the Xixia people's bows and arrows.

Tong Guan was overjoyed, and ordered people to write about the defeat and a secret letter to report the good news to Tokyo.

This battle almost wiped out more than [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry of the Xixia Army.Among them, more than [-] cavalry were annihilated by the Cangzhou Army, and [-] infantry were annihilated by the Western Army, but no matter whose credit it was, it was Tong Guan's, because Tong Guan was the supreme commander.

As for how much the Cangzhou Army lost, Tong Guan didn't know.

But Chai Lin reported that more than [-] people died in battle.

For this data, Tong Guan thinks it is still very real.
