Chapter 693
It was later than what Zhong Shidao expected. The Yinzhou Battle was officially launched in late November. This was the area that the remnants of the Western Xia tribe refused to defend. The resistance was particularly fierce. As soon as the Yinzhou battle ended, it was officially declared invalid by the Chage tribe. The area south of the Great Wall was once again unchanged and returned to the hands of the Song Dynasty.
On one side, the hard battle between Liu Yanqing's troops began, and on the other side, Gao Fangping stood on the top of the city and cursed for a while.
Hezhong Prefecture is also facing the most difficult battle since the offensive and defensive war.
It has accumulated until the end of November. Although the siege ability of the Chage army has not reached its peak due to the harassment of the Yongle Army, the scene is already very large.
The overwhelming cloud carts kept leaning towards the city, not the past when they were throwing stones and passing by, but for a moment they were all in all directions. They withstood the massacre of the Divine Arm Crossbow and opened the way with their lives. More than 300 cloud carts were leaning against the city, but the ones coming up were not auxiliary soldiers, but real elite soldiers.
This time, more than 300 "troop transport channels" were sent to the city.
The Divine Arm Crossbow can no longer be saved, and the basic firepower is fully opened, and the suicide squads that are constantly approaching the city are condescending.
The battlefield was very bloody. Bloody arrows were inserted everywhere on the ground outside the Hezhong Mansion. At such a close distance, the Divine Arm Bow could penetrate their shields and people and shoot into the ground.
At the entrance of more than 300 troops transport passages, Gao Fangping once again used heavy infantry armor to block the mouth, and then used the spearmen behind to strangle.
The cloud cars everywhere are full of corpses. Some fall down and hurt the Xixia soldiers, while others lie down and become stumbling blocks.
The siege cars at the city gate became a sea of fire, and were overturned by various firearms and people who were frying fire, but they continued to continue.
This continued, and the cost of materials to defend the city was very serious. The Western Xia army was also very serious. However, it continued from the early morning to the afternoon, and it still remained unsufficiency.
The flag of the Heishan Weifu Army Division is fluttering in the wind and making a loud noise.
Brother Cha personally sat in the position of commander to supervise the battle, staring at the details of the offensive and defensive battle in the river, and making a desperate move.
At the same time, Gao Fangping ascended to the highest point of the city, had a far-sighted vision, and saw that behind the Xixia army formation, there were more and more siege vehicles and cloud vehicles on the way, and the transportation team extended thirty miles.
Gao Fangping felt something was wrong and frowned.
I looked carefully and then, thought about it and thought about it, and I had to find out the wrong parts.
It's the wrong number of people.
It seems that the Heishan Weifu Army Division was in charge of the battle, while the Heishan Town Yan Army Division was in the rear to assist in the battle.
But Gao Fangping felt that although it was far away, although there was a flag from the Yan Army Division of Heishan Town, the number of people was obviously wrong.
The conclusion is that some of the main forces of the Yan Army Division of Heishan Town disappeared.
Let’s look at the continuous transport teams from the rear. Since the war started, it has been rare to see them transporting on such a large scale.
At this point, Gao Fangping's expression changed drastically and shouted: "Immediately ignite the fire and warn Shi Wengong not to attack with a specific beacon signal. This is a trap! The main force of the Yan Army Division of Heishan Town is not in the Hezhong Prefecture War Zone. They intend to lure Shi Wengong's troops to encircle and annihilate. Once Shi Wengong's troops are surrounded, Hezhong Prefecture will be in danger!"
So the personal soldiers began to ignite specific fireworks signals in a hurry...
The largest approved siege transport team has been investigated, so Shi Wengong took the risk to lead the main force to attack this time. Seeing that he left the Yongle County base, he had entered the maximum sprint state and approached the Xixia people's transportation team, he saw two colorful thick smoke rising from the direction of Hezhongfu far away.
Although the news has long been cut off, these simple communication signals were communicated before the war.
Shi Wengong ran on the horse and said, "I've been trapped, I can't attack the transport team!"
The soldiers of the Yongle Army were depressed. They were able to bully logistics auxiliary soldiers similar to civilians and could burn things and rob, but combat orders appeared.
Therefore, he was supposed to slow down and start destroying the transportation team, but Shi Wengong ordered not to slow down and to maintain the maximum speed through the transportation team. After drawing a circle, he maintained his maneuver and rushed back. In addition to killing more than a hundred auxiliary soldiers blocking the road, the Yongle army did not make any stops and began to run towards the nest.
The Yan Army Division of Heishan Town, which was ambushing, was anxious when it came to react. Shi Wengong did not stop and block the transportation team, but was almost about to break out of the encirclement?
So the horn suddenly rang, and nearly 30,000 cavalrymen appeared from various places, began to run and flow, and still tried to encircle.
But it was a little late, and the Shiwengong team had reached the edge of the encirclement.
The Xixia cavalry at the edge tried to intercept, but in this weak link, they only had a thousand people. The ending of blocking the heavy cavalry that always maintained high maneuvers was to overturn the people and overwhelmed them, with countless casualties.
Then, I could only watch Shi Wengong's troops break through and go further and further.
"Chong Chong Chong, I'll chase you!"
The two generals led a large group of cavalry to chase Shi Wengong's troops as lazy as a dog.
But it's just lazy. These guys are brave enough to fight and run away quickly. Because of the benefits of equipment, they are not afraid of arrows chasing behind them.
Although the heavy cavalry must not be able to escape the Xixia light cavalry on a long journey, the Xixia people have to make a process for their cavalry to enter the maximum speed, especially in the cold winter. The Shiwengong team has always maintained the high-speed stage.
There was a reason for deploying them in Yongle County in the early stage. Basically, as long as the Shi Wengong army did not go to Hezhongfu City to show off, it would be difficult to catch up with them before they arrived in Yongle County.
So in the end, although they were chased like a dog, Shi Wengong and others fled into the county town.
When the fastest running Xixia cavalry in front was not sure whether to go to the city to scare them, rumbling boom boom boom boom boom boom
Yongle County is like a hedgehog, not completely close. Countless iron lumps were cast by catapults, forming an air explosion over the large area of Xixia cavalry.
With countless nail shrapnel, more than 400 Xixia people were killed in an instant.
“Retreat!”
Several generals knew that it was not the time to fight Yongle County, so they could only let them go. So they quickly evacuated.
However, Shi Wengong was dissatisfied and sent out a squad of 500 cavalry suicide squads, which had been raising energy in the city earlier, and this time they were not allowed to bring bows and arrows and weapons, but only tinder oil. The purpose was to quietly bite the retreat of the Yan Army of Heishan Town, lurk back, and block their transportation teams, and always burn a group to relieve pressure from Gao Fangping's troops.
Of course, this is very risky, but the chance of success is not small. The people of Xixia did not expect that the Yongle Army would have the courage to attack at this time. In addition, as long as the tactics are appropriate and if they are discovered later, they will run away with a shot, and the light cavalry should be able to escape back.
Toss toss
So the five hundred suicide squads went on the battlefield, and no matter how expensive it was, they had to go. Everyone knew that once the Hezhong Prefecture was lost, the Yongle Army would be wiped out...
The 29th offensive and defensive battle in Hezhong Prefecture was vigorous.
At some point, Gao Fangping saw from a distance that their siege vehicle transport team really caught fire.
Because the news was not clear, Gao Fangping didn't know whether this was considered as Shi Wengong's ambush or some unexpected surprise. But it was useless to think about it, Gao Fangping couldn't change it.
No matter how you hope Shi Wen Gongji is the same as the human beings and heavenly beings, that guy is generally smart. He took Wu Tanhua's test by relying on his real talent and real knowledge.
At some point next, the Xixia people's offensive slowed down and gradually became interested in retreating. Gao Fangping finally settled down. Knowing that Shi Wengong had succeeded, Cha Ge's plan to encircle and annihilate Shi Wengong's troops failed...
At the Xixia position below, two generals knelt on the ground with a blaming look, saying loudly: "The subordinates were incompetent, and the mission to block the Yongle Army failed. They later sent 500 suicide squads to raid. More than 100 siege cars were burned down, which ruined the general's strategy. Please punish me."
Brother Cha sighed, what else could he say?
The original plan would either successfully encircle and annihilate the main force of Shi Wengong's army and remove this confidant problem, even if a large number of siege vehicles were sacrificed, or even if they could not be caught, the continuous siege vehicles would be sent to the front line and the first frontal battle with Gao Fangping would be ignored.
But now the Yongle Army is still there, and more than a hundred siege vehicles have been burned down, but they still cannot reach saturation attacks. Then it is meaningless to continue to attack. So, "I am not thinking well. I will blame you. Mingjin retreats!"
"Master General, you can't. You finally got to this point. Even if you fight with blood, you will have to waste all your Gao Fangping." Many generals advised him to death.
Brother Cha smiled bitterly and said, "If it lasts until tomorrow, five hundred cloud cars can gather around Hezhong Prefecture, but it is still not enough. He has more than a thousand infantry armors, and can block our army's delivery channel with very low combat damage. Do you really don't want to go back to Xixia? Do you know what the exchange ratio is now? Although you can defeat every defender of Gao Fangping, I will tell you that at that time we will have at least 50,000 elite troops, and sooner or later we will be surrounded by the Zhong Shidao Department and Liu Yanqing's troops. Order to retreat!"
yeah
Faced with the continuous retreat of Xixia soldiers, the flags of the Heishan Weifu Army Division were blown down by the strong wind. The 29th victory of the Hezhong Prefecture offensive and defensive battle, the whole city of military and civilians began to revel.
But Gao Fangping couldn't be happy. The battle was too radical and consumed too much military equipment. Although the Western Xia army was nearly 9,000 killed or injured, the elite imperial guards guarding the city were more than 1,500 people. The construction of the wounded soldiers had long been overcrowded and there was no much ability to deal with it.
I hope there will be no more large-scale bloody battles before the heavy snow comes.
At the same time, Shi Wengong's unit has a long way to go, to see if he can find another opportunity to expand the results of the battle. Otherwise, the current level of personnel and armor will be insufficient. If they expand the Yunche to nearly a thousand attacks in a short period of time, such a battle loss will not be accepted by Hezhong Prefecture...
