Chapter 70 Carrying a Gun (2-in-1 Repayment)(2/2)

"Why should Zhang Jing abandon his own soldiers for the sake of the overall situation?" Unexpectedly, Yue Fei chose to shake his head this time. "It's not the time when Jingdong was in a narrow road. The brave one won, and neither side could choose, so he asked Lieutenant General Tian to make a sacrifice. This time it was the overall situation. How could one be so damaged for the sake of the complete situation? Therefore, as soon as the people of Xixia went back, I realized that Zhang Jing's senior imperial camp commander had arrogance in his bones. If I force it, people would not say that they would fight for one breath... Then it would be futile to destroy the morale and hearts of the entire army."

"With that being said, how could the Jiedushi expect Qu Dutong to go to support and protect him?" Hu Hong thought for a moment and continued to ask.

"Because the officials often teach him that he is not good at uniting friendly forces in marching and fighting, and his subordinates, he still disdains such things, but he still feels attentive... Compared with some personal military achievements, he is actually more afraid of being rejected by the officials."

"It's hard to be a commanding minister in the country." Hu Hongxiu was a little stunned when he heard this, but he avoided the topic of the official family. He was not good at this. "He is concerned about relatives and alienations, merits and demerits, gains and losses, both from top to bottom, left and right, and we must ensure that the overall situation is not lost."

"What's the difficulty?" Yue Fei sneered when he heard this. "It's not before and after Jingkang. At that time, many people fought for life just to seek some vitality. There was no need to worry about these things, but who wants to go back to that time? The so-called difficulties of our army at this time were just a great victory, and it would be difficult to ask for full blame."

Hu Hongxiu laughed for a moment, but after laughing, he sighed again: "The people of Xixia do not need to worry about it at this time."

"So." Yue Fei turned his head and looked at the direction of Helan Mountain to the west. The Xixia people were still crazy. "The Xixia people thought that they had a way out of life as they did this, but we knew better than them that they had no chance in the morning... Because we experienced more desperate situations than them, we knew from the beginning that they used the wrong strength... without armor or weapons, gathering in a hurry, no matter how crazy or cruel they were, how could they win? But they just lie to themselves."

"There are many similarities in the world, not only in the past, but also in the distance, but also in the north and west, and it is also quite unchanged... How many times did we deceive ourselves back then? What was the result?" Hu Hongxiu also turned his head and looked at each other, and sighed for a moment. "Only our country is bigger, can we survive step by step, what about the people of Xixia?"

Yue Fei nodded.

By the way, just as Yue and Hu were becoming more and more speculative, two or three miles away, the direction of the early summer wind blowing, as Qu Duan hesitated, he chose to come to help decisively. Two thousand central armed cavalry finally launched a surprise attack, greatly alleviating the plight of Wang Jing's army. At the same time, the various emergency teams of the Song army also followed Qu Da's previous command and used this surprise as a signal to let go. For a time, the armored cavalry and light cavalry attacked together, swarming out from the expected gaps in the infantry array and counterattacked the Xixia people in a comprehensive manner.

As the protruding Song cavalry, the Xixia people who were already red-eyed actually chose to face it.

The war suddenly entered the decisive stage.

To be honest, human life is fragile, so anything happens on the battlefield. Some commander-level imperial camp officers hit the trap when they come up. Some archers were wearing leather armor and were shot into hedgehogs and were still jumping around. By the same token, there are the nobles of Dangxiang who have been passed down for several generations and suddenly lost their family. Some crazy Dangxiang boy rushed to the Song army and threw a spear and successfully escaped.

However, these miraculously low-probability events will always be easily smoothed out on the huge number of both sides of the war, and will be replaced by things such as armor, weapons, training level, morale, etc. that actually affect the exchange ratio between the two sides.

Thanks to these factors, the Song army had the upper hand, but the Xixia people who should have retreated still had no intention of retreating, and they were forcing them to hold on.

On the banks of the river, Hu Hongxiu and Yue Fei were still moving slowly. Looking at this scene, although they were a little lost, they did not have much confusion... Yue Fei experienced the entire Song and Jin war, from Hebei to the Central Plains, and saw too many distorted expressions of human nature in the war. Hu Hongxiu had just returned from the Xixia Kingdom and knew some of the situations of the Xixia people. They knew very well why the Xixia people were so crazy.

To put it bluntly, whether it is a white cow or a defender of the country, it is of course a reason, but for these members of the Xixia tribe who cannot even enter the army, these are just a reason.

The country of Xixia is full of military force, and the Buddhists and witches are polite. The survival of the lower class people is like this. It has been better in recent years, but it still has not changed the essence of this country.

Of course, after all, they are living people, and they will soon be awakened by blood and completely disintegrate.

However, just when the entire Xixia army in front of him fell into madness, there was a Xixia army who wisely chose to retreat... Under the white cow, the Western Xia Liang Wang Weiming Anhui did not hesitate at all. After seeing the Song army's large armored cavalry rushed out in a fierce manner, he directly chose to retreat according to the tactics that should be done in this battle.

In fact, Wei Ming Anhui's command was gathered at this time, the only temporary armored cavalry of the Xixia people, all of which were children of the nobles of Xingqing Mansion. Logically speaking, he had no need to retreat, and he could even compete with Quduan with the courage to defend his country with the courage to defend his country.

However, isn't this for the overall situation?

What is the overall situation? The overall situation is that the main force of Xixia is still the armorless light cavalry. Facing the armored cavalry of the Song army, it should take the initiative to retreat, lure the Song cavalry out of the protection range of the army formation, and then use the advantage of the light cavalry to death.

Therefore, there is no problem with Wei Ming's actions.

However, when the Xixia commander left the front line and turned to the safe rear, he was shocked to find that the main force of Xixia had made a huge and fatal mistake, that is, the tribal light cavalry actually squeezed with the cowards, and then had direct hand-to-hand combat with the Song army's armored cavalry and light cavalry.

This means that when the Song cavalry gained the advantage, the crowded team of the Western Xia army at this time would make the entire army have no tactical space to properly evacuate... When the light cavalry loses room for maneuver, it will lose its greatest tactical role, and at that time it is likely to lose its elastic space and retreat directly on the whole line.

Last night, Li Qianshun kept saying why he wanted to fight this battle? After he decided to go to the front line in person, what message did he leave for Li Qianshun? Why did he choose to retreat just now?

Is it not because of the mobility of the light cavalry, which can only work in the wild? This is the only advantage of the Xixia army facing such a clear military discipline!

But in this situation, how should we dispatch light cavalry to hunt down the Song army's armored cavalry?

"The Song army's armored cavalry was not trapped." A golden armored warrior next to Wei Ming Anhui became anxious and pointed directly at Quduan's flag. "It should be Qu Da. Qu Da personally led this military force, and he is afraid he will go back."

Following the other party's point, Wei Ming Anhui glanced at the whereabouts of Quduan Daqi, and suddenly her face turned pale.

Before he could say anything, a tribal leader next to him made a judgment with a dark face: "It's not that he wants to go back, he wants to turn around and rush to our light cavalry from the periphery."

As soon as this was said, several golden-armored warriors who knew the soldiers and several tribal leaders were all disgraced. At this time, they had already realized the problem like Wei Ming Anhui, just as Quduan on the opposite side realized the problem... At this time, the Xixia Light Cavalry and the Collision Son were too crowded.

Once Qu Duan led the two thousand armored cavalry along the outside line and cut the Song army formation and pushed the northward, there was no need to wait until anyone could not hold on. This battle would be defeated directly on the entire line, and blood flowed into a river.

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ming Anhui, with gray hair, suddenly turned his head and gave an order: "Run back with me!"

The surrounding warriors were shocked, whether they were golden or iron armored. Although they didn’t know why, it was already true that the light cavalry gave up their strengths. At this time, the overall situation was at a disadvantage. What if they failed when they went back at this time?

But soon, King Liang gave sufficient reasons: "I only saw the big flags withdrawing in front of me, but I didn't see them rushing back. I'm afraid that morale would be damaged. Besides, the king is free to the front, so we cannot let Qu Da go there! On the contrary, if we can succeed in rushing, defeat Zhang Jing, or take Qu Da, we can retreat unscathed in this battle, and the Song army would not dare to continue marching."

There are plenty of reasons, but the same thing is said, what if you lose?

But it involves the safety of the king, so the golden armored warriors were the first to respond next to the white cow bark. Many other tribal leaders and noble children led the conclusion when they saw King Liang and the golden armored warriors, but they were speechless.

After a moment, the horn sounded again and the white cow crow immediately turned back.

This time, this conspicuous big star inserted into the Song army without hesitation. At this time, on the Yinchuan Plain, the last decent combat power of Xixia was completely unscathed and directly fought with the well-equipped Song army.

The enemy was coming in full force, and Zhang Jing no longer cared about any military orders. He directly ordered the headquarters to stop advancing north, instead set up a formation on the spot, facing the white bull pen.

Seeing this sudden change, Qu Duan changed his tactical choice for the second time. He pulled the iron elephant with a silk coat and turned his head. He personally charged towards the white cow crow, but he was on the wing, as if trying to completely cover the white cow crow.

The two sides fought in three places.

The battlefield here was no different from the surrounding areas for a time, all of which were flying flesh and blood, and their lives were as good as paper. But there was no doubt that the two thousand central armed cavalry of Quduan were not only particularly powerful, but also kept raising their strength, so when they came up, Quduan had a little advantage.

At this point in the war, both sides were fighting and consuming, waiting. But there was no doubt that the Song army was a stronger side, especially those light cavalry and the cowards who were unarmed and crowded together, which would collapse at some point, which triggered a chain reaction.

However, as the fierce battle lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, the phenomenon of voluntary evacuation finally occurred. However, the first one was not any light cavalry of the Western Xia tribe, but the Xingqing Mansion Armored Cavalry in front of Qu Duan. These children of the Xingqing Mansion who were temporarily recruited lost their discipline after they found that they could not withstand the Song army Armored Cavalry at all.

At first, there were scattered noble children, then in teams, and finally the entire army was shaken and collapsed. These people finally made up their minds and turned around and fled, allowing Liang Wang Weiming Anhui and the white bulls to be lords, as well as those Bu Bazi, who were born in the tribe at the foot of Helan Mountain, were surrounded by the Song army cavalry led by Qu Duan.

This benefit is obvious. They can escape back to Xingqing Prefecture and help the king continue to guard their homes.

The price of this is also very obvious. It is their responsibility to be surrounded by white bull crows and Bu Bazi. It can be imagined that once the white bull crow is submerged, the countless tribes and the cowards on the battlefield will be as if they were exhausted and fell into collapse, but because of the extremely close formation, it is difficult to change for a while and fall into the massacre of the Song army.

The afternoon sun is neither dry nor soft, and the Yellow River flows neither fast nor slow.

The outer side Bubazi was trapped in the massacre, and many people began to try to jump into the river, and the destruction was almost right in front of them. Wei Ming Anhui, under the escort of the golden-armored warriors, was still sitting under the white cow's flag, but he didn't say a word... In the middle, there was a familiar tribal leader who took off his armor and jumped into the river, and he advised him to go with him, but he ignored it.

The golden-armored warriors also realized the meaning of King Liang. Shangfu, who had been guarded by Li Ganshun for half his life, was determined to persevere until the last moment to be the king of the country, and even the nobles of Xingqing Prefecture who had just betrayed them.

In this battle, you can still defend the city. If you can't defend the city, you can still escape... Dabai Gao Kingdom has been established for a hundred years. No matter whether it is useful or not, someone should do his best.

It has to be said that Wei Ming's actions were successful. The armored cavalry of the Central Army led by Qu Duan and the soldiers under Wang Jing all noticed this side, and then all gave up their pursuit. They were determined to take down the Golden Crown Dangxiang nobleman who was guarding the Golden Crown Warriors who were escorting the death of the Golden Crown Warriors under the White Cow.

Then they succeeded.

The white cow bark, which was dyed with blood, still looked extremely beautiful, was snatched by Wang Jing's subordinates, and the golden crown with a slightly bent outer beam was snatched by Qu Duan's subordinates. The light cavalry of the surrounding Xixia tribe began to gradually dissipate as the flag fell, but the gray-bearded head was angrily thrown down the Yellow River by Qu Duan.

This King Liang of Xixia, who later made indelible contributions to the archaeology of Xixia, was buried in the Yellow River in a different place. The tomb he built at the foot of Helan Mountain was empty at this time, and it was impossible for him to have a single word to spread his name there through it.

There is no way, even now, the name Wei Ming Anhui has been forgotten for a long time. After confirming this person's identity, everyone was disappointed... It should be noted that Xingqing Mansion is ahead and this battle is a foregone conclusion. Compared with the great achievements that will be obtained tomorrow, a king of Liang is really worthless.

The collapse caused by the fall of the white bull crow continued, and then swept across the entire riverside battlefield. Yue Fei, who had taken over the command again, did not hesitate at all and directly ordered the entire army to roar and conquer the team.

When the cavalry received the signal, they also woke up from the bloody and meaningless pursuit. All the troops that attacked returned to the queue, and then the entire army continued to march.

In any case, the Xixia people's attempt to block the delay in the wild completely failed. The Song army repelled the Xixia people. On that day, they marched until sunset, and arrived at the riverside just south of Xingqing Prefecture before stopping.

At this time, although it was not too late, they could still see the shadow of the Xixia Palace located between Xingqing Prefecture City and the Yellow River. The building was so conspicuous.

No one asked for a fight, and Yue Fei directly ordered the entire army to continue camping properly, and then he treated the injured, buried the dead, sorted out the weapons, and reported the weapons to be vacant. As a result, he had enough food and drink, he told some allusions with the Jinshi of the army. In the end, the entire army rested for a whole night... And that night, the Xixia people did not come to harass him again.

The next day, early in the morning of the tenth day of April, the Song army got up early, had a good meal, and then began to adjust the formation of the entire army. This time, it was no longer a complicated emergency formation, but restored the entire army's unity and made a simple standard marching array with infantry centered and cavalry located on both wings.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the rafts in the river were untied in public and allowed to scatter. All the baggage was opened and distributed. Everyone was supplemented by the ordnance. The six thousand civilians also held bows and swords, guarding the wheelbarrows containing rations and ordnances, and were arranged behind the formation.

The morning light shone from above the Yellow River behind him. The Xingqing Prefecture City in the distance was not without movement. The scouts were rewarded clearly, but there was no need for scouts to repay. The Song army could also see clearly that the royal palace in the east of the city and the Buddhist temple in the north of the city were burned by the Xixia people to ensure the safety of the city's defense.

Although we know that we have to clean up the houses outside the city when defending the city, it is still rare for people like the Xixia people to take the initiative to clean up their palaces. It seems that the Xixia people's determination to defend the city is still unshakable, and it seems that there is still a saying in this battle.

However, after yesterday's battle, no one doubted the success or failure of today... They were sure that the Xixia people were really stabbed into the heart by their own sword, so weak that they were vulnerable.

"Jingduan." Perhaps yesterday seemed a little unlucky, Qu Duan couldn't help but urged Yue Fei directly. "Enter!"

The surrounding military generals, including Hu Hongxiu, the Minister of War, all looked at Yue Fei. To be honest, they could not hold back.

Yue Fei, who had been leaning against the river for a long time, narrowed his eyes and looked upwards with the blue smoke rising from the Xixia Palace ahead, but he saw Helan Mountain, who was running horses, facing him. Finally, he no longer hesitated, but raised the spear in his hand high and smashed it down again:
