Chapter 193 Dongjian Bridge (1)

Wang Ju asked the doctor to heal the wounded soldiers, but this time Wang Ju brought something, that is, high-alcohol, which is not as disinfected as alcohol, but there is better than nothing.

Not only did the wounded soldiers bandage the wounded, but also the horses bandage the wounds.

These injured horses can no longer go to the battlefield, but their injuries will be recovered. They can be plowing horses, pack horses, and ordinary riding and pulling horses. However, their value will plummet to about ten cents.

Then change the ride.

After getting these hundreds of horses, the two battalions of foreign cavalry could basically ensure that everyone had one horse. However, the gap in horses was very large, and the new foreign cavalry continued to expand their troops, and other foreign cavalrymen in Qingzhou were also seriously short of horses. However, if they had it, it was better than not.

These monks touched the war horses, and their eyes were full of joy. They were practicing cavalry. After getting off the war horse, their combat effectiveness was not very strong, but when getting on the war horse, their combat effectiveness could be increased several times.

The injured horse was pulled back. In addition to choosing a batch of pack horses, the rest was handed over to Zhu Qing to deal with. The proceeds will be used as pensions and rewards. The court will also pay rewards, but how much can be paid is very doubtful.

Yao Yi ordered another order to transfer two battalions of officers and soldiers from the rear. This battle was a surprise attack and ambush battle, and the number of people was not large. In addition, it also created an illusion for the people of Xixia, where only more than a thousand officers and soldiers were participating in the battle...

But there will be more difficult battles below.

Wang Ju continued to appease the people of the two villages and returned the materials and livestock that the Xixia people had plundered.

The soldiers who entered the mountains to hunt down the Western Xia deserters and fled their horses also returned one after another.

Wang Judao: "Kill the horse and cook."

Dozens of horses died and made food.

Some of my friends died, and everyone was happy and sad.

In the military camp, there were crying, laughing, shouting, and making noise. Wang Ju stood on the mountains, listening to the howling mountain wind, but his eyes were staring towards Rouyuan Village.

Wang Zangbu did not escape back to the Xinjiang Fuzhai, but fled to Rouyuan Village with more than 100 subordinates.

The Xixia plundered the five main roads in Huanqing, two Yan Roads in Huanzhou, Chexiangxia Road, Guidechuan Road, the middle road is Huai'an Road in Qingzhou, and the east road is Jiangqibao Road, one point is Rouyuanzhai, and one point is Liyuan Fort.

This time, nearly 20,000 troops were dispatched.

Less than 20,000 people were divided into five plunders. The troops were not large and they were arrogant, but who made the Song Dynasty cowardly? If Wang Ju hadn't come to Huachi, what's the difference between 20,000 and 30,000 and 10,000?

More than 4,000 troops were sent to plunder in the direction of Xinjiang Yibaobao, but considering that Dashun City and Liyuan Fortress were stationed in heavy troops, the Liyuan Fortress was not divided into many troops and did not go deeper. The main force was on the Liyuan Fortress, with nearly 3,000 troops.

Wang Zangbu fled to Yewu Xingshe in a panic.

"Why did you lose so badly?" Nobuki Xingshe was furious.

This loss is nothing in the war between the two countries, but it is considered a heavy loss under the Yewu Xingshe account.

"We were ambushed."

"Don't you know how to send a scout?" Nobuyuki Hinse cursed and asked, "What's going on?"

Wang Zangbu said the battle after saying it.

Yewu Xingshe cursed again: "The opponent's troops are not as strong as yours, and you can defeat you, you coward!"

Wang Zangbu dared not speak out.

Nobuki Xingshe was so angry that he kicked him a few times, ordered the scout to inquire, and gathered all the soldiers who were plundering.

The next day, Wang Ju continued to ask soldiers to search for the deserters and fleeing horses from Xixia all over the mountains, but the harvest was not great after a night. The remaining soldiers were drinking and having fun.

The scout reported the situation in the evening.

Yewu Xingshe was furious again. When will it be the turn of the Song army to be arrogant? But it was dark, so he had to give up and then ordered the three armies to set off tomorrow morning. They were all mountain roads, which were a bit difficult to walk, but they were not far away, only a few dozen miles away. If they had time, they would arrive at noon, and just took advantage of the great victory of the Song army, and annihilated the Song army in one fell swoop.

The news also came to Sun Mian.

Wang Ju General's battle was briefly written, and then reported the casualties and the credit of everyone. There was no exaggeration or shrinkage.

Send someone to send to Gyeongju.

After seeing it, Sun Mian immediately said, "Send an order to Wang Ju and ask him to withdraw to Liyuan Fort."

Jier Village is located between Dashun City and Liyuan Fort. All the elite troops of Liyuan Fort were released. There were Song troops in Dashun City, but Sun Mian dared not mobilize them if they were afraid of accidents. But Xixia was not afraid, the enemy of Xinjiang Fort would be dispatched at any time, and there were also huge enemy troops wandering near Rouyuan Village. If Wang Ju's army was annihilated, the Xixia people might take the opportunity to seize Liyuan Fort, and then Dashun City would become an isolated city outside and could be lost at any time.

Lao Fan General Zhao Ming said: "Sun Gong, it's better to do this. The Xixia people who plundered the other three groups of Xixia do not need to ask about them, but we can join forces to eat the plundering enemy army of Rouyuanzhai. Two plundering troops were wiped out one after another, and the remaining three groups of enemies naturally had to retreat. The danger of plundering this time was calmly resolved."

"Is it so easy? Have you forgotten how Liu Ping failed? How did Wang Gui and Guo En die in battle?"

These three armies were lured out of the city by the Xixia people, and then siege heavily, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army.

Zhao Ming sighed. Sun Mian seemed to make sense, but is it true?

But he is just a foreign general, so what can he say?

This time, Sun Mian's stupid performance finally put an ugly end to his life.

Wang Ju didn't know about the dispute between Sun Mian and Zhao Ming. The military camp continued to make noise.

Wu Kui said, "Brother Hu, tell County Magistrate Wang and let me join the brigade."

"Are you Fanzi?"

"Brother Hu, you are Fanzi. You haven't been involved in the Poche Army before."

"Do you think I want to join the Poche Army? But Xiao Kuizi, I'll tell you, if you don't do it well, the Poche Army may also be changed to a cavalry camp this time..." Hu Qian said in a low voice.

"There are so many horses?"

"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."

Wang Ju walked in and shouted, "Don't you sleep yet?"

"Here," everyone stood up together and went back to their respective camps to rest. After this battle, Wang Jucai truly gained prestige in the army.

Yao Yi came over and said, "The scout came back and reported that the army was indeed gathering in Rouyuan Village, and they were basically gathering together."

"This is inevitable."

"It's a pity that the magistrate Wang came too late." Yao Yi sighed. If Wang Ju had arrived two months earlier, or if Xixia delayed the plundering in October, then the troops of the battalions under his command would be stronger.

"It's not too late, especially horses!" Wang Ju said.

Yao Yiyi knew that in order to impress everyone, Wang Ju also asked several important generals to check the accounts of the entire private business.

This makes everyone understand that even if they are served with soybean wine, plus the profits of private merchants, they will also spend them together in the military plan, and the Zhu and Li families and Wang Ju even paid for their money. Only when everyone knows where the accounts are going will thank you and will obey the orders and commands.

In fact, the private businessmen on Mashan are worried and afraid of trouble. Moreover, there is no deficit on the books, but it is actually a deficit. If it is replaced with other goods, people on the mountain don’t have to worry, and the profit will increase several times, and they can equip more excellent armor in the future.

"General Yao, this battle is not the key, the key is next year," Wang Ju said meaningfully.

Yao Shi focused on the key points.

The risk is not at the moment, but next year, and of course, the greater contribution is also next year.

The two of them said a few more words, and Yao Yi rode a horse and quietly left the barracks and ran towards the distance.

As soon as dawn the next day, Yewu Xingshe began to gather troops, and then only a few hundred people were left to guard the looted supplies, and he quickly set out with the remaining 2,500 soldiers and horses.

This time he learned from Wang Zangbu's lesson. The army was rushing behind, with scouts riding horses in front of him, reconnaissance of any ambush. Just one hour later, the scout came back and reported: "The Song army has been dispatched and is building fortifications in Dongjian Valley to prepare to snipe our army."

"Dongjiangu?" Yewu Xingshe thought about it for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "These people of Song are looking for death."

It was an open area. Although it was not a large area, it was not a large battle. I only had a thousand or hundreds of cavalrymen, which was just good for my cavalry to sprint. Then I asked, "How many soldiers are there?"

"There were about seven or eight hundred infantry in the Song Dynasty, and four or five hundred cavalry."

This is very similar to the Buddha reported by Wang Zang.

“Can there be ambush along the road?”

"No, the younger ones have checked all the mountains, forests and valleys on both sides of the road."

"That's good, Mebu Ruding, you bring the infantry hall and all the cavalry to fight with me." Yewu Shexing shouted. The people of Xixia were not afraid of field battles with the Song army, but were afraid of offensive and defensive battles. Liu Ping had only one thousand men left in the battle of Sanchuankou. Because it formed a camp, Li Yuanhao took 80,000 troops and horses and attacked for four or five days before he took Liu Ping down. That was 80,000 troops, and he had only 2,000 troops and horses. So Yewu Xingshe first threw away the infantry and quickly led the cavalry to set off, thus winning time and preventing the Song army from building the fortifications.

Wang Zangbu wanted to say something along the way, General Yeshe, have you underestimated the enemy? But he was defeated too badly and had no right to speak, so he led his remaining subordinates to follow the army to the East Valley.

This place is only a dozen miles away from Dongjian Valley. Although the road is rugged, some areas even require soldiers to dismount and lead the horse to pass through. However, it is too close. In just half an hour, the people of Xixia came to Dongjian River.

There was a stone bridge built by foreigners on Dongjian River, but fortunately, the Song army did not destroy it.

More than a thousand cavalry rushed across the Dongjian Bridge. On the other side was the open Dongjian Valley. Because it was too close to the Xinjiang Basin Fort. Although it was a river valley with plump grass, no foreigners came to settle here. At most, some brave herders drove their flocks to grazed in spring and summer.

The Song army was building a fortification, and a mud wall was only half a person tall. When they saw the Xixia people arrive, they put down their tools and began to prepare to fight back behind the wall.

"This wall?" Yewu Shexing laughed: "Wang Zang Biao, Cai Linghu, you each lead about 500 cavalry to encircle. Wang Zang Biao, don't let me down again."

"Here." The two generals led about 500 cavalry to encircle them.

The terrain was flat and time was in a hurry. Even if the Song army built a wall, it would have played a little role in the front, but the left and right had no time to build a mud wall. But a trace of suspicion flashed in Wang Zangbu's heart. Is this true?

Before he could think about it, the Song army was also splitting the troops, each sending hundreds of officers and soldiers to the left and right, preparing to shoot arrows, but there was no protection from mud walls on both sides. Facing hundreds of whistling cavalry, they looked so thin.

Yao Yi shook off the thatch on her body, looked at the battlefield, and then looked at the stone bridge. The key to this battle is this bridge, Dongjian Bridge.r1152
